Following a weekend where “a multitude of crimes happened”, the City of Prince Rupert will be applying for funding and looking into forming a committee to prevent crimes from occurring - Judy Carlick-Pearson during large events in Prince Rupert, such as the All Native Basketball Tournament. Judy Carlick-Pearson and Anna Ashley raised the matter at the last city council meeting saying there were a number of issues that arose during the recent All Native Qualifying Tournament. See CRIME on Page A2

Prince Rupert RCMP are turning to the public in hopes of finding four individuals who allegedly sexually assaulted a Skidegate man. RCMP said the assault happened on Nov. 23 after four First Nations men driving a newer-model silver pick-up truck picked up the man near the corner of 6th Street and 2nd Avenue West in the early evening. RCMP say the man was then taken to the woods near the Prince Rupert Cemetery and sexually assaulted. The victim was later picked up by a taxi outside of the gaming centre and immediately

“We take these types of complaints extremely seriously.” - Const. Matt Ericson taken to Prince Rupert Regional Hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries. RCMP received the call at approximately 7:40 p.m. and spoke to the victim at the hospital. As of Monday, more than a week after the assault, no arrests have been made. Prince Rupert RCMP spokesperson Matt Ericson

said any information about that evening is welcomed. “Currently members of the Prince Rupert RCMP and General Investigations Section are actively investigating. We take these types of complaints extremely seriously and are asking the community for any information that may assist investigators in furthering this investigation,” he said. The man involved in the assault is back with his family, and family members say he is “devastated” as a result of what happened in Prince Rupert. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the detachment at 250-627-0700 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

We wish everyone attending

Keep criminals in the cities, says Port Ed council

Councillors raise safety concerns

BY MARTINA PERRY

CRIME from Page A1 Coun. Ashley suggested the city apply for funding from a $1 million program aiming to reduce crime. The funding can be used for crime prevention and domestic violence programs for projects that develop or enhance domestic violence units, prevent sexual exploitation or human trafficking of vulnerable girls and prevent youth crime. Ashley said there are a lot of positives associated with the All Native Basketball Tournament and receiving funding to prevent crimes during large community events could make it even more so. “I don’t want people to get the wrong impression. I think the All Native Tournament, and all of these special events that come to our town, are a really good thing. We just want to mitigate the circumstances that bring harm to people in our community. We want to make sure people in the community are protected,” she said. Coun. Carlick-Pearson agreed, and said the city should form a committee along with representatives from Prince Rupert social services groups to address the issue. Both Carlick-Pearson and Ashley suggested the group could discuss issues associated with events in Prince Rupert that draw in large crowds from out-of-town, and look at how they could be deterred, whether it be through education and awareness or more activities when games are done for the day. “By looking at what issues come up from the various social organizations, we can figure it out and make a plan to try and educate and prevent,” Ashley said. “We’ve been talking about this for about two and a half years now, and now is the time. Our risk right now more than any time is [higher],” Carlick-Pearson said,

Port Edward council will be asking the provincial government why it feels moving criminals into the community is an acceptable practice. Councillor Knut Bjorndal raised the issue of crime in the community - Mayor Dave at the Nov. 26 meeting, MacDonald citing “a rash of break-ins and thievery”. “My suspicion is it is being driven by more drug use,” he said. However, Mayor Dave MacDonald said he and others in the community have an idea of who is responsible. He said it can be traced back to criminals being sent to the North Coast from other jurisdictions. “It is not right that they are kicking people out of other towns and saying ‘you can’t stay here, but you can stay in Port Edward’ when there is minimal police presence here,” he said. “If you are going to do that, send them to the big cities where police can keep an eye on them. Don’t send them to rural towns.” Port Edward will be making their concerns known to the province and said a letter may be sent right up to the attorney general to raise their concerns.

“Don’t send them to rural towns.”

Councillor Judy Carlick-Pearson urged parents to “make sure your kids are safe” after a series of crimes.

adding now is the time to act. “Prince Rupert isn’t the way it use to be 15 to 20 years ago. Remember to make sure your kids are safe. A lot has happened over this past week and it’s worrisome,” she later said. Const. Matt Ericson, spokesperson for the Prince Rupert RCMP, said in the three years he’s worked in Prince Rupert he has not seen a substantial increase in crime during the All Native Basketball Tournament. Peter Haugan, president of the All Native Basketball, said he’s not sure where the city is getting this idea from. “Anytime there’s a big group of people I guess there’s going to be concerns, but the tournament has been really tame over the past few years,” he said.

MP blasts Youth, seniors focus for Northern Health BC Ferries cuts By Shaun Thomas

PORT EDWARD / The Northern View

By Martina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Skeena - Bulkey Valley MP Nathan Cullen is calling recent BC Ferries cuts “absolutely brutal”. “I’m a northerner and know what these impacts mean. They are further hurting the people of the region and making it more difficult to live where we live,” Cullen said last week. “The [federal and provincial governments] can talk about wanting to support small communities in the rural sector, yet do the opposite. I’m deeply frustrated and worried for the prospects going ahead. It seems like a complete lack of respect and sensitivity to the reality that we live under in the North Coast.” Cullen said the cuts will have severe impacts economically, on tourism and business, and will further prevent those living on Haida Gwaii from accessing vital services like doctors and dentistry. “It’s already incredibly expensive, to then cut the services is adding insult to injury,” he said. “I didn’t think they could make things worse, and low and behold the so-called private sector solution for ferries has been an unmitigated disaster for people who actually use the ferries.” The MP believes Premier Christy Clark has a lot to account for, and BC Ferries is being “completely mismanaged”. “It almost looks like they’re trying to drive themselves out of business on the North Coast,” he said.

Sheila Gordon-Payne and Jane Boutette of Northern Health were in attendance at the Nov. 26 Port Edward council meeting to provide an update on the work of the Healthy Communities Committee. The committee was established to promote healthy living and health care on the North Coast, and includes municipal leaders, health care workers, residents and people from social health organizations like the Salvation Army and the North Coast Transition Society. Within the committee are two working groups, one to look at youth issues and one to address seniors care. On the youth side of thing, Boutette said the focus is on addiction mitigation and treatment and youth sexual health. The group has been speaking with stakeholders involved in youth activity in Prince Rupert and Port Edward, and will now be taking the discussion to those who matter most. “We’re hoping our next step is to meet with a group of youth to see what programming they see as needed and what programs would be palatable,” said Boutette. “The idea is to think outside the box and look at ideas that Northern Health and the school board may not typically do,” added Gordon-Payne. When it comes to seniors care,

people across Prince Rupert and Port Edward can expect to see an Independence Information Card in the mail in the coming weeks as part of a committee initiative. “We have heard clearly that seniors want to live at home as long as possible, but they and their caregivers are not aware of what services there are to help accomplish that. This card will contain a list of all programs and services that help seniors live independently and contact information,” said GordonPayne. “They will wait to hear what the response from the community is around that to determine what the next steps are.” For non-youth and seniors, Boutette said Northern Health is

beginning to offer new services and testing for women at the health clinic and pursuing ways to reach out the men. “At the health clinic we will be able to see more women who may not have a family doctor or who may not want to go to the family doctor their parents have ... we want to be a safe place where they can feel comfortable getting testing and information,” she said of women’s health. “What we’re constantly finding is groups of men who have a family doctor but don’t go for regular checkups and who may not have been for five years but who certainly need a referral,” said Boutette, pointing to a 90 per cent referral rate during voluntary screening of ILWU workers.

Bridging the logical gap

ust a few weeks removed from talking about the amount of work being put onto a strained staff, Mayor Jack Mussallem asked staff to look into an idea that makes no sense whatsoever. His Worship has asked staff to report back on the possibility of constructing a road on the land behind Petro Canada that would run along Hays Creek down to George Hills Way. The thought behind it is if the aging bridge that connects Hays Cove Circle to 6th Ave. East or the wooden bridge in Cow Bay were to fail, there would be an alternate route to access that part of town. Even if you ignore the fact that there are several alternate access points to that side of the bridge — Shaun Thomas namely from Frederick through 7th Ave. East and George Hills Way itself — the idea of pouring any money into researching a road that would cost millions of dollars to construct is so ridiculous it hurts the head. If you’re going to spend money to address a bridge nearing the end of its life, put the money toward the replacement of the bridge(s) that access the east side! Rather than waste any limited staff time or city money on this unnecessary idea, use that time on more pressing issues and put that money aside for the future replacement of one or both of the bridges. Chief financial officer Corinne Bomben told the Select Standing Committee on Finance that replacing the bridges would cost approximately $2 million apiece, a price point I imagine would be similar to the engineering work, land clearing and overall construction that would be needed to build the all-season road Mayor Mussallem was pitching. The City of Prince Rupert is not setting the world on fire financially, not by a long shot. If it were, the bridges in questions would have likely been replaced a long time ago. A new road to connect two areas of town that are already very well connected is an extravagance the city cannot afford and should not be considering. And if you think this is a good idea, I have a wooden bridge I’d like to sell you...

Grain farmers value Ferry cuts threaten livelihoods Rupert’s advantages

Letters to the editor

on the North Coast

Editor: With their rich resource wealth, northern communities are helping B.C. prosper. But the B.C. Liberal government isn’t returning the favour. Instead, their devastating cuts to ferry services show how little they know or care about real life on the North Coast. We recently learned that B.C. Ferries will dramatically scale back three northern routes, and cut a fourth. Though there are cuts to ferry services all over the province, the deepest cuts announced to date are happening on these northern routes. Here, we will see cuts of up to 32 per cent to the ferry system that serves as our coastal highway. A decade of mismanagement at B.C. Ferries has meant fares have skyrocketed by as much as 85 per cent on so-called minor routes, ferry ridership has decreased, debt at the corporation has ballooned, and executive compensation has remained stratospheric. After a decade of watching these problems escalate and failing to make a plan to address them, now the Liberal government wants you to believe that their only option is to scale back services that people on the North Coast depend on. The Liberal government doesn’t seem to see the real impact of these cuts on our communities. They don’t see that people will now have an even harder time accessing groceries they can afford, or making it to doctor’s appointments. Already, difficult ferry schedules mean that people here spend far too long travelling to and from appointments – further delays could mean they opt to not make the trip at all. This could lead to delays in getting treatment when they need it, or attempts to make do with food that is less nutritious but more readily available. Or, worse still, it will force people to leave our communities altogether. The Liberal government also seems unaware of the effects these cuts will have on our livelihoods. While cancelling the Port Hardy - Mid Coast - Bella Coola ferry route may look good on a balance sheet, it will be devastating to tourism operators in Bella Coola Valley who depend on the circle route

“The Liberal government doesn’t seem to see the real impact of these cuts.” - Jennifer Rice that that ferry completes. These operators have done everything right – they have distributed advertising, printed brochures, and built their businesses here in good faith. Now, they will face a significant loss of business because of a government that didn’t stop to consider the consequences of its cuts. Ironically, the businesses that stand to lose the most from these cuts are the ones that have brought significant business to B.C. Ferries in the past. Spirit Bear Lodge in Klemtu, for instance, was responsible for $20,000 of direct business for the corporation last year. General Manager Tim McGrady calls the decision to slash services to the North Coast “a real blow to our business, the community and region”. I am proud to represent the people of the North Coast. We are small business owners, free enterprisers, and job creators. As the Liberal government has often admitted, we are the economic engine of the province. But we need basic, reliable transportation to keep our communities healthy and prosperous. But the Liberals have ignored our voices. Instead, they are only “consulting” with our communities after announcing their decisions. The Liberal government may think North Coast communities are not worth fighting for, but people here know better. Please join me in telling the B.C. Liberal government that cuts to northern ferry routes will undermine our hard work and the future of our communities. Let’s tell them to go back to the drawing board and come up with a real solution to the problems at B.C. Ferries, not more quick, callous cuts. Jennifer Rice North Coast MLA

RE:PORT

he county of Grande Prairie, Alberta is within the northernmost farming region in North America, and is home to some of the richest soil in Canada. Because of this, Grande Prairie is one of the few places in Canada where land is still being cleared for agricultural development. Its farmers are currently celebrating a grain harvest that may go down in history as one of the Canada’s largest. Greg Sears’s family was one of the first to farm in Grande Prairie. His grandfather built a log cabin and began clearing his land over a century ago. Today, the Sears family farm is a modest 2,400 acres and is worked primarily by Greg, his father, father-in-law, and two farmhands. Compared to other farms in the area that can be as large as 10,000 acres, it is a manageable size for the tight-knit crew. They produce roughly 3,600 tonnes of grain each year. The farms grows a mix of wheat, barley and canola, the latter of which accounts for close to half their crop. A significant amount of crop production from farms like the Sears’s travels by rail to the Port of Prince Rupert, since Grande Prairie’s location allows it to take advantage of CN Rail’s BC North Line to the Prince Rupert Grain export terminal. Harry Shudlow is another Grande Prairie farmer with 3,000 acres in the community of Sexsmith. He is very optimistic about crop yields this year. He’s also pleased that the end of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly has given Canadian farmers newfound freedom to market their own product. “Being able to market all grains in the open market, we can improve our equipment, storage, and purchase more land for our children with our profit,” said Harry. “In the past, you were spinning to pay the bills. I now market my own grain and I’m happy for doing it. I never get the best price, but I’m lucky to get the average price.” With their crop sold for the best price they can get, farmers have little influence over where their product is shipped. But farmers like Greg and Harry have an appreciation for the advantages offered by an uncongested northern rail line and an efficient marine export terminal with capacity for growth. “Prince Rupert is the closest port to us, and that’s good for us,” said Greg. “When you realize how much volume we export as a country, it’s a massive quantity of grain and the logistics required to get it from my farm to the port is kind of amazing. It’s important to us that every part of that supply chain and network is running seamlessly so the whole system doesn’t get bottlenecked. As farmers, it’s not something we think about every day, but we’re certainly very proud of the industry we’re in, and we realize that our part is only one of many that drives the agricultural economy.” Re:port is a collaborative promotional venture by the Prince Rupert Port Authority and The Northern View.

Case to bring Lily home goes before council BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

At Your Service

After a month of waiting due to the recent byelection, Katherine Spong and Ray Newman took the fight to get their dog Lily back directly to Prince Rupert city council on Nov. 25. The couple was told at the end of September that they were prohibited from having four dogs in the house by Prince Rupert city bylaws. Although they were willing to pay for a kennel licence, they were denied the application and told Lily had to go. Since that time, Newman told council the condition of their Karelian Bear Dog has drastically deteriorated. “She’s shutting down. She’s dying actually. She doesn’t move around any more, she doesn’t run any more. The light is gone, it’s not the same dog ... the only thing sustaining us through this is the overwhelming support and outpouring of care for Lily,” he said, noting the vet put Lily on medication that is the equivalent to prozac. “We will do whatever it takes to keep

them together, even if it means living apart, which is something we have done to keep the family together ... we have no problem paying whatever it takes to bring our family back together.” While the bylaw is what caused the couple to be separated from Lily originally, Spong said she did not want to see it weakened to accommodate them. “We’re not looking to have the bylaw changed, if anything it needs more teeth. What we are asking for is a timed exemption until our oldest gentleman’s time is up,” she said, referring to the couple’s eight-year-old Newfoundlander. Although the couple said the dog was taken after a phone call that was part of “a malicious act” by a neighbour that they have had an ongoing dispute with, nearby neighbour Ross Wheadon said nobody called the bylaw enforcement officer about the additional dog. He did, however, call the city when one of the dogs was tied up and blocking access to a lane believed to be public property. “I don’t care how many animals they have as long as they keep them on their

Port Edward notes: Council passes on trip BY SHAUN THOMAS PORT EDWARD / The Northern View

After traveling to Malaysia to visit Petronas world headquarters and get a first-hand look at how an LNG terminal operates, Port Edward council will be passing on the offer of an all-expense paid trip to Trinidad and Tobago to tour a terminal with the BG Group. The trip would have included airfare from Prince Rupert to Port of Spain, hotel expenses and food — including a meal with BG Trinidad and Tobago president Garvin Goddard — during a mid-January visit. While thanking for the company for the offer, no councillors wanted to take them up on it. “I think all LNG terminals looks the same to the untrained eye, but I do want to thank you for the opportunity,” said Coun. Knut Bjorndal.

Silencing the centre

With the district’s financial picture looking bright, Port Edward council will be spending $18,000 to improve the community centre gymnasium. “We have realized for a number of years there was a serious problem with the echo in the community centre. In the past, financial restrictions have dictated we not do anything, but at the [Pacific NorthWest LNG] open house it was very difficult to hear people speak,” he said, noting in a report that complaints about noise from the gym have also come from teachers at the new school. “For $18,000 we should act on it now, not later. Looking at our financial situation, we are in good shape so we should act, I think it is money well spent.” With the motion passed, the district will hire Rupert Acoustics to install sound control panels similar to those used at Charles Hays Secondary School.

Road pitched as bridge backup Aging trestles worry mayor

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem wants the city to begin preparing before a major bridge failure on the east side. Repairs to the bridge on 6th Ave. East were delayed to March because the specialists needed to work on the wood trestle bridges were not immediately available during the summer months, and Mayor Mussallem said the city needs to prepare a back-up plan. “These bridges we have, there is a bit of a novelty to them and we are written up in engineering magazines about the lengths the city goes through and the amount of expertise needed to save them so we can continue to use them. I’m wondering if it is worth having a report done on the land behind the Petro Canada gas station, which also borders Hays Creek, and look at putting a road there so we would have a new road on that side of Hays Creek and have

Prince Rupert Jack Mussallem is asking staff to look into building a road near Hays Cove Circle in case the aging wood trestle bridge fails.

“We may be getting close on the life of that bridge.” - Jack Mussallem Drydock Road on the other side of the creek,” he said in a comment to city manager Robert Long. “If you talk to the

engineering department, we may be getting close on the life of that bridge. As this bridge gets worse, it is very expensive to replace, we would have an alternative that would be an allweather road. It may be worth considering.” The wooden bridge is the main access to many streets that run off of 6th Ave. East. The city’s other wooden bridge, on 2nd Ave. West, is another major access point to the Atlin/ Graham area.

Skateboarders urged to ride safely BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Prince Rupert RCMP held an education meeting for boarders and cyclists on Friday, aiming to prevent injuries and deaths on Prince Rupert roads. The longboarder, skateboarder and bicycle safety meeting covered a variety of topics such as how to ride safer, RCMP and bylaw enforcement, as well as how motorists can share roadways with riders. Const. Maury Tyre spearheaded to effort to hold the meeting after RCMP were requested to do an education program by the City of Prince Rupert. The city had received a number of complaints about boarders over the summer months, as did the RCMP. “When people are calling and complaining to us ... They are concerned about the safety of the individual they are calling about. They’re seeing what they deem as unsafe behaviour and their worried someone’s going to end up dead or injured,” Tyre said. Tyre consulted with Marc Page and Steve Newman of Loaded Sports to get boarder’s perspectives, with Loaded Sports donating a number of prizes to be raffled off to those in attendance. Tyre said if there’s one message people get out of the meeting, it’s to wear a helmet when riding on longboards, skateboards or bicycles. “We need to change mentality. I look around Prince Rupert, and about one in 10 cyclists are wearing a helmet, and maybe one in 10 boarders,” he said. Other main messages Tyre hopes riders remember is to follow road signage, and make sure they’re doing hand signals. The Prince Rupert RCMP will be amping up bicycle

enforcements, so Tyre encouraged anyone using a bike to ensure they know the rules of the Motor Vehicle Act, or else they could be fined. While skateboards and longboards are not included in the Motor Vehicle Act, the city does have a bylaw banning the use of boards on roads in Prince Rupert. This means RCMP can fine riders $25 if they are doing things like impeding or obstructing traffic, not wearing helmets, failing to consider others on the road, street luging or doubling on a skateboard, failing to obey road signs and not wearing reflective equipment at night. “It’s a relatively small fine, but it can add up very

quickly,” Tyre said, adding if the person being fined is underage, their guardian will be notified. RCMP cannot currently seize boards as a punishment, unless they feel the rider is doing something dangerous enough to kill them, in which case they can seize the board for a day. “If we can’t curb the dangerous behaviour, there’s a good chance we will go to the city and ask for an increase in fines, and the ability to seize boards,” Tyre said, adding this is not something the RCMP want to do. “We’re hoping people take this to heart, and we don’t have to see bigger punishments.”

Booze coming to grocery stores

First ship calls on Westview Terminal

BY TOM FLETCHER

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

BY MARTINA PERRY

VICTORIA / Black Press

The MLA in charge of the B.C. government’s liquor policy review is recommending alcohol sales within grocery stores, using the “store within a store” model in place in other provinces. John Yap announced three of his recommendations Thursday, including the idea that a separate staffed area should handle alcohol sales. He also called for no increase to the 731 private store licences that are active now, and no sales in convenience stores other than those already designated as rural agency stores. Yap’s full report has more than 70 recommendations, but it won’t be released until the new year after cabinet has considered it. Liquor in grocery stores was by far the most popular topic during his public consultation, which is why only those recommendations are being made public now, he said. NDP liquor and gaming critic Shane Simpson said Yap has promoted the popular idea repeatedly, and Thursday’s announcement appears “cobbled together” to distract attention from BC Hydro rate hikes and B.C.’s dismal job creation performance than it is about liquor sales. The Alliance of Beverage Licensees, representing private liquor stores, questioned Yap’s assertion that the change would create jobs and increase convenience.

Pinnancle Renewable Energy and the Prince Rupert Port Authority are celebrating the first ship calling at Westview Terminal. The Star Manx arrived at Westview Terminal on Nov. 27, being loaded with wood pellet cargo until Nov. 30 when it began its journey to the Port of Tyne in the United Kingdom. Leroy Reitsma, president and chief operating officer of Pinnancle Pellet, said the first ship calling went well, with the terminal staff ensuring the process ran smoothly. “We were able to test out a fair bit of the equipment. It was a commissioning shipment, so not everything goes as perfectly as it will in the future. But in general, I think we made some good headway with the shipment in terms of the commissioning process,” he said. Michael Gurney, manager of corporate communications for the Prince Rupert Port Authority, said in the future the process will be faster. “As with any new terminal commissioning, there’s steps that have to be taken to ensure the machinery is working and the new workers are familiar with their tasks. As a result, future ship visits will be turned around much more quickly, but as you

would expect this one was handled methodically and carefully and everything was checked and double checked,” Gurney said. Gurney said from the Port of Tyne, the product will be moved to North Yorkshire where it is destined for a generating station which has been converted from coal to clean-burning wood pellets to generate electricity. “What we’re talking about here is a low-emission fuel source, that’s produced right here in British Columbia. The fact the Port of Prince Rupert is now added this type of cargo to its mix is a good news story for the

port and entire trade corridor,” Gurney said, adding that shipping wood pellets through the port has further diversified cargo. “We’re able to build the Northern B.C. economy by helping Pinnancle Pellet move their products, therefore build job opportunities and serve new markets.” Reitsma said the next ship will berth at Westview Terminal in mid-December. “That will be another commissioning test at different level. We’ll evolve into larger shipments as we gain confidence in the operation of the terminal,” he said.

Aurora LNG files for export licence BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

December 4, 2013 • Northern View • A11

No plans for larger planes New airline looking at YPR

BY SHAUN THOMAS Just over two weeks after signing a sole-proponent agreement with the provincial government, Aurora LNG filed an export licence application with the National Energy Board (NEB) on Nov. 29. Aurora LNG — a partnership between Nexen, INPEX Corporation and JGC Exploration Canada Ltd. — has applied for a 25 year licence to export 24 million metric tonnes per year of natural gas from Grassy Point near Lax Kw’alaams. In addition to the application for export, the document submitted to the NEB provides more details on Aurora’s proposal. The company outlined plans for a natural gas liquefaction plant with LNG storage, a marine jetty and a loading dock capable of handling Q-Flex LNG carriers that can carry between 210,000 and 217,000 cubic metres of gas. Plans call for two LNG trains initially, with two additional trains being built as the market and project economics dictate. The facility would allow for the concurrent loading of tankers at adjacent berths. The company said a variety of pipeline routes is being examined and notes it has “long-term relationships with all major pipeline providers and has entered into preliminary discussion with pipeline providers”. “Filing an application for an export license is an important step,” said Kevin Reinhart, CEO of Nexen. “However, we still have a lengthy process ahead of us before final investment decisions are made. Stakeholder consultation, environmental assessments and affirmation of technical and economic feasibility are required before the project can proceed.” Aurora LNG expects the first shipment to take place between 2021 and 2023 for the initial two trains.

Despite an announcement by Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem at the Nov. 25 council meeting, the airlines serving the Prince Rupert airport say they have no plans to bring larger planes to the region. During his Mayor’s Report, Mussallem said he received news that the community will be serviced by Q400 planes, which would increase the current flight capacity from 50 passengers on the Dash 8-300 to 74 passengers on the Q400 and increase cruising speed from 531 kilometres per hour to 666 kilometres per hour. On Nov. 28, Air Canada released a statement through the Prince Rupert Airport Authority distancing itself from the announcement. The company said it would “continue to provide a high quality service to our community using the Dash-8 300 series” and would provide service using a regional jet and a Dash 8-400 “when

circumstances require”. Hawkair also said it has no plans to change planes from the Dash 8 to the Q400. Prince Rupert airport manager Rick Reed said the confusion may have resulted from an email sent to airport stakeholders indicating a onetime Q400 Air Canada plane arriving at YPR to handle a backlog of cargo resulting from flight diversions earlier this year. Although the existing airlines may not be changing their plans,

the airport could soon see the arrival of a new airline. Canada Jetlines Ltd. announced its intentions to begin offering lowcost jet service with two planes next summer, a fleet expanding to 16 planes by 2017, and listed Prince Rupert as a potential market. However, the launch of the airline depends on the company’s ability to raise funds and secure investors. JetLines said it could offer flights on the Prince Rupert to Vancouver route for as little as $93.

Rampage make it three straight against Luckies Rupert rallies with three goals in the third

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Rampage took to the ice on Saturday night looking to extend their winning streak to three straight against the Houston Luckies. The two teams set the pace for what would be a physical game in the early going, and it would be the Rampage that opened the scoring as Jordan Weir beat Brock Henrickson with 13:50 to play to put Prince Rupert up early. After the early goal, however, the game evolved into a goaltender battle as Henrickson and Warren Hansen turned away every shot they faced leading to a 1-0 Rampage lead through the first. The goalies and the hard hits continued to be the highlight of the game, as Henrickson seemed to be standing on his head at times and kept the Luckies within striking distance despite Prince Rupert controlling the play throughout the early part of the period. Although much of the play was in the Luckies zone, it was Houston who struck with 9:52 to play as Blair Dinelle put the rebound of his own wraparound over Hansen’s glove to tie things up at one. Although there was a lot of physical play in the late going, neither team could put one past the netminders and the period ended with the score knotted a one. The Rampage started the third with a 5-on-3 powerplay following some rough stuff at the buzzer of the second, and the team controlled the play throughout the first five minutes but were unable to get the goahead goal. But with just under 13 minutes to play the wheels started to fall off for the Luckies as Gavin Harburn scored his first CIHL goal with a wrister over Henrickson’s blocker with 12:42 to play and Devin Palmer went five-hole just nine seconds later to lead by two. The goals seemed to frustrate the Luckies, who picked up several penalty minutes late in the game and paid the price for it. Brock Ward’s blast from the point found the back of the net during a 5-on-3 powerplay with 4:08 to go, and Jeff Coolin drove the final nail in the coffin with a wrist shot from right in front while on the power play with just 56.3 seconds left on the clock to give Prince Rupert the 5-1 victory. “They are a very physical team. We knew from playing them earlier this year that their plan was to hit anyone with the puck, so we wanted to move the puck quickly and out-skate them so that they would have nothing left by the third, and I think the scoring shows it worked,” said Rampage captain Jared Meers. “The guys stuck to the game plan and our goaltender battled hard to keep us in it, although I have to tip my hat to their goaltender as well,” said coach Roger

Around the league

“The guys stuck to the game plan and our goaltender battled hard.” - Roger Atchison Atchison. The Rampage have now won three straight against division leaders, and Meers said it shows just how the team has evolved throughout the season. “The team was largely new guys coming together with a new system under a new coach, so this just shows that we are beginning to gel and everything we have been working for is paying off,” he said, with Atchison noting a lot of it has to do with having a healthy team again. The Rampage, who remain at the bottom of the Western conference rankings with eight points, will host the Kitimat Ice Demons this Saturday. “I expect another win,” said Meers.

The Terrace River Kings picked up four points this weekend, defeating the Smithers Steelheads 5-4 in a shootout and downing the Luckies 13-2. The Ice Demons traveled to the Cariboo this weekend, coming away with a win and a loss. On Saturday, Kitimat defeated the Williams Lake Stampeders 4-3 but were blown out 10-2 by the Quesnel Kangaroos on Sunday afternoon.

Samaras helps Terrace to gold BY ANNA KILLEN KAMLOOPS / Black Press

The Terrace Girls Midget Rep team is showing they are a serious provincial contender, as Rupert netminder Kat Samaras helped the team beat Lower Mainland teams handily at a tournament in Kamloops last month. The team skated away with gold after beating teams from Smithers, Tri-city, North Shore, Abbotsford and Surrey, going undefeated and only allowing two goals against the entire tournament, which was held Nov. 22-24. “If you had asked any of those teams going in there if we were the favourite, they probably would have said no,” said co-coach Kevin Kennedy, who leads the team alongside Randy Kasum. “It wasn’t a cakewalk, all of the games were tough games, especially the semi and the final.” The team they shut out in the final, the Surrey Falcons, took gold at the Richmond tournament at the beginning of November. The Terrace team placed third after losing in the semi-finals. That meant making some changes. “We juggled some lines, we had the girls play in different situations and with different players, we tightened up our defence quite a bit,” Kennedy said. “I’m pretty proud of the girls, I think we improved our game dramatically in the month since the Richmond tournament, everybody played outstanding, we had contributions from everyone. We really challenged the girls, they were high-paced games against really good hockey teams.” It’s a young team this year with three players underage, Kennedy said, and the team was by far the youngest at the Kamloops tournament. They’ve also welcomed new talent from around the northwest to the team – players are from Prince Rupert, Terrace, Stewart, Hazelton, Prince George and 100 Mile House. Samaras is the lone Prince Rupert player, with Kennedy saying she played “outstanding” throughout the tournament. “Good group of girls and they get along terrifically,” Kennedy said. And the team has some decisions to make about their next tournament – they’ve been invited to a tournament in San Jose, California in January, and there is also a tournament in Abbotsford. “We’re in pretty good shape going into the provincials here,” he said. “I think we’re a competitive team, so we’ve got to go where we’re going to get some good games, keep the girls playing at a higher level.”

Rainmakers flawless in shootout

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Charles Hays Secondary School (CHSS) senior boys basketball team hosted the Rainmaker ShootOut over the weekend, competing against teams from Kitimat and Terrace. Each team played against one another, with the Rainmakers winning both games against their opponents. Mel Bishop, who coaches the senior boys team along with Ryan Bishop, said he was impressed with the team’s energy on Saturday. “Our fitness is good right now ... I thought we did some good things defensively. We held their offence down,” Bishop said. “For this early, we’re playing good defence. Offensively, we still have a lot of work to do with passing decisions and shot selection,” he added. The annual event started off with an exhibition game on Friday against the Crest Hotel from the Prince Rupert Men’s League, filling in for a Hazelton

“For this early, we’re playing good defence.” - Mel Bishop team that dropped out of the shootout at the last minute. Bishop said the Rainmakers will be competing against a number of teams from the league this season to get all the practice the senior boy’s can. On Saturday, the Rainmaker Senior Boys faced off against Caledonia Secondary from Terrace, with the Prince Rupert team slowly building their lead in the first half of the game. In the third quarter, the Rainmakers secured themselves as winners, having double up on their opponentsthe beginning of the final quarter. In the end, the Rainmakers won 6944 against the Kermodes, with Grade 12 player John Sampson earning 15 points, with Grade 11 Rosendo

Masacaol and Grade 12 Garrett Kobza shooting 12 points each. “I thought Justin McChesney rebounded well. He has a lot of potential,” Bishop said of the 6’9 Grade 10 player. Immediately after defeating Terrace, the Rainmakers went up against the Mount Elizabeth Secondary School Eagles from Kitimat and once against dominated. In the first half of the game, Prince Rupert had already more than doubled Kitimat’s points, going on to win the game 82-49. The win came from the help of Kobza, who sunk 14 baskets, 12-points from Grade 12 player Marcus Komadina and 10-points from Keenan Paul, who is in Grade 11. The CHSS Senior Boys Basketball team will be in Vanderhoof next weekend for a tournament, before heading to the North Shore tournament in North Vancouver on Dec. 11 to 14. The team will compete against 16 other teams from around the province.

Rupert’s Weir tricks Winterhawks

BY TODD HAMILTON PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

GIVING CHASE Todd Hamilton / The Northern View

Curtis Swan of the Prince Rupert Seawolves PeeWee Rep team chases down Vanderhoof’s Booker Daniel during Sunday morning’s game. Despite their best efforts the Prince Rupert squad dropped both games to Vanderhoof, falling 8-3 on Saturday and 9-1 on Sunday morning.

Prince Rupert Seawolves captain Austin Weir scored three times including two unassisted goals to lead his club to a 6-2 win over the Kitimat Winterhawks in Skeena Valley Midget Rep hockey at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre on Sunday. The Winterhawks hit the scoresheet first to take an early 1-0 lead on a goal by Joel Meier, but Prince Rupert replied just three minutes later when Sokrha Sekhon converted on a feed from Gary Sekhon at the 17:09 mark. With less than a minute to go in the first, Weir struck for his first of three goals on a setup from Kagan Will to give the Seawolves a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes of play.

Early in the second, Cole Atchison scored what would prove to be the game-winning goal on a setup by Jared Carter and Sokrha Sekhon. Weir struck again unassisted midway through the second to put the Seawolves ahead 4-1. Kitimat attempted to make a game out of it on a goal four minutes later by Tanner Daum but Prince Rupert netminder Cole Lindsay shut the door as the two clubs headed into the third with the Seawolves up 4-2. Weir picked up the hat trick with an unassisted goal early in the third to extend the lead to 5-2. Tyler Matalone salted away the Seawolves victory with a marker three minutes later assisted by David Smith and Drew Fudger. Lindsay picked up the win in net for Prince Rupert while Kitimat Winterhawks goaltender Brenden Sorenson was saddled with the loss.

Five Financial Tips for Year-End

...................................... The holiday season is almost here. But while you’re planning the celebrations with your family and friends, spend some time planning your finances. It’s now, in the closing weeks of the year, when a few simple choices can help you get more out of your investments and pay less tax next spring. 1. Make charitable donations and other payments Charitable donations must be made by December 31 to qualify for a tax credit this year. Medical expenses, investment management and safety deposit box fees, political contributions, and support and child care payments are just a few of the amounts generally eligible for a tax deduction or credit if paid before year-end.

2. Take advantage of tax loss selling Consider selling disappointing investments to generate tax losses. Those losses can be applied against any capital gains you have to reduce tax, first in the current year, and then in any of the previous three years. If you don’t have capital gains to report now, you can carry forward capital losses indefinitely and offset tax in future years.

3. Contribute to your TFSA and RRSP The earlier in the year you contribute to a TFSA the sooner your tax-sheltered savings can grow. If you haven’t maximized your contributions, add to your TFSA before year-end and make next year’s contribution in January. Have you topped up your RRSP lately? There’s no reason to wait until next March’s deadline. Contribute now and put your money to work. Remember, if you’re turning 71 this year you must collapse your RRSP by the end of December. Look at converting your plan to a tax-advantaged RRIF or annuity. But before you do, make a final RRSP contribution and enjoy a tax deduction.

4. Maximize your RESP grants Put $2,500 per beneficiary into an RESP each year to receive the $500 maximum Canada Education Savings Grant. Depending on your income level and where you live, you may be eligible for additional grant money.

5. Delay tapping the Home Buyers’ Plan If you’re planning a home purchase using the Home Buyers’ Plan, delay your RRSP withdrawal until the New Year. You’ll have an additional year before repayments must begin.

It’s always wise to consult with a qualified financial advisor or tax professional to take full advantage of these and other year-end planning opportunities.

Equipment keeps Slubowski out of record books

www.thenorthernview.com

TAKING AIM

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

An equipment issue over the weekend kept Prince Rupert Minor Hockey product Frank Slubowski from cementing his name in the Western Michigan University record books. Slubowski was one shutout shy of the setting the program’s record going into the weekend and played a perfect Sunday game against the Alabama-Huntsville Chargers, stopping every shot he faced. But with 1:48 on the clock he had to leave the ice with an equipment issue, although he was able to return less than 20 seconds later and pick up the 1-0 Broncos victory. Because he missed a shift when backup Lukas Hafner temporarily filled the net, the shutout is counted as a shared accomplishment and Slubowski remains one shutout shy of the record. Earlier in the weekend, Slubowski made 32 saves against the Northeastern Huskies in a game that ended 1-1, but fell short in the shootout.

Joe Ruperto takes aim on the trap shooting range at the Prince Rupert Rod and Gun Club on Sunday for the annual Christmas Turkey Shoot. Twenty-two shooters competed in 20 rounds of trap shooting for turkey prizes with one round of Annie Oakley. Turkey boards were available throughout Prince Rupert during the last few weeks and provided 34 winners with a turkey for the small price of $2 a circle. The Rod and Gun Club features trap shooting each Sunday starting at noon.

The BC Coastal Ferry Service has been wrestling with cost pressures for more than 20 years which, if not addressed, could threaten the sustainability of the entire system. Accordingly, the Province has engaged coastal communities and ferry users from across the province on strategies to ensure the long-term sustainability of the coastal ferry network. The Province will undertake a further round of community engagement in 2013 following a province-wide consultation in 2012.

How Input Will Be Used Input received through the community engagement process will be compiled and presented to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and BC Ferries as they plan for the long-term sustainability of the coastal ferry network. Public Open House Schedule The first 90 minutes will be a public open house. The second 90 minutes will be a question and answer session with the project team. No RSVP is required for public open houses. Community

Choir ready for WinterSong By Martina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Wrapping up WinderFest will be the annual WinterSong concert put on by the Prince Rupert Rotary Community Choir. The performance is one of a few full concerts put on by the Prince Rupert choir group. Choir leader Peter Witherly said the First United Church will provide a beautiful sound for the choral music included in the performance. The concert will include performances mainly by the Prince Rupert Rotary Community Choir, but also the Prince Rupert doo-wop sensation The Rolling Tones and a combo from the Prince Rupert Community Band. “There’s a fair variety in the programme this year,” Witherly said, adding the concert will include a variety of choral music from madrigal to swing, as well as Christmas songs. The audience will also have the opportunity to join the show and sing along to a number of traditional Christmas songs, including Joy to the World, O Come, All Ye Faithful and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. “There are a lot of familiar songs. One of the things people like about Christmas is the familiarity of the music,” Witherly said. WinterSong will take place at the First United Church on Sunday, Dec. 8., with the performance starting at 3 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Moustaches equal money in Movember

Prince Rupert Mos raise $5,000 BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

LIMITED SUPPLY SO SHOP EARLY

A team of Prince Rupert men wore a visible and hairy statement on their faces in November. Their efforts were part of Movember, an international, monthlong event where men grow out their moustaches to raise money and awareness for men’s health issues, such as prostate and testicular cancer, as well as depression. More than 30 Prince Rupert men joined the Prince Rupert Mos team on ca.movember.com, the Movember Foundation’s online campaign. The foundation raises money for men’s health charities, and also

“There is a lot more to celebrate when we’ve worked together.” - Michael Gurney aims to increase early detection, encouraging men to get yearly check-ups and take action to remain healthy. Led by John Farrell, the Prince Rupert Mos collectively raised just under $5,000 as of late last week. This is the first year Prince Rupert Mos has entered a team, hoping that

by uniting more money could be collected in Prince Rupert. “The team approach is appealing because it encourages individuals to stick with it, and be inspired by the example of others. Further, the collective fundraising is even more impressive than individuals. There’s a lot more to celebrate when we’ve worked together,” Michael Gurney, spokesperson of the Prince Rupert Mos, said. The team members were able to compare their facial hair at a gathering at the Crest Hotel on Friday, before removing it on Dec. 1.

High school students sample NWCC programs More than 200 attend

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Grade 10, 11 and 12 students from Charles Hays Secondary School and Pacific Coast School got a glimpse of Northwest Community College (NWCC) programs last week during the Prince Rupert campus’ annual open house. “It’s an open house for students ... to become familiar with our facility and programs and make them realize this is their community college and they’re welcome at anytime,” Ann Rowse, NWCC’s interim regional director for the western region, said. Students were able to choose from

25 workshops facilitated by faculty and staff on Nov. 26, which included areas such as business administration, the trades, career and college prep, the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art, student services and university credit. In the morning, 112 Grade 11 and 12 students from CHSS took part in workshops, with 115 students from Pacific Coast School and Grade 10 at CHSS participating in the afternoon. Students from Charles Hays Secondary School were able to virtually operate a variety of heavy duty equipment during the Experience NWCC event on Wednesday. Martina Perry / The Northern View

RCMP respond to aggressive dog BY CONST. CORY ABBOTT MASSET / Masset RCMP

The Masset RCMP responded to 15 calls for service this past week. This included one drunk in public incident, a driving while prohibited incident and an assault. Details of some of the calls the Masset RCMP responded to include: On Nov. 19, the Masset RCMP conducted a vehicle stop on Main Street in Masset. Record checks showed that the driver was prohibited from driving under Section 259 of the Criminal Code. The driver was removed from the road and charges are pending. On Nov. 21, Masset RCMP responded to a complaint of an aggressive dog who bit a person in the village of Old Massett, which resulted in the need for medical treatment. Although in this case the dog was secured in its yard when it bit the person, the Masset RCMP would like to remind people of the importance of keeping their dogs under control at all times. During this past week, the Masset RCMP detachment had an upgrade to the closed circuit video system, which involved a total of 22 cameras being installed throughout the inside and outside of the building. One of the benefits of this system is that all interaction between the police and prisoners will be recorded, which will provide an increased level of accountability and safety for all involved. In October of this year, two members of the Masset RCMP completed the necessary training to deliver Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE). This program is designed to equip school children with the skills to recognize and resist social pressures to experiment with tobacco, alcohol, other drugs and violence. The program utilizes uniformed law enforcement officers to teach a formal curriculum to students in a classroom setting. Since the first week of November, the DARE program has been provided in all three elementary schools from the Village of Old Massett to Port Clements, and has been very well received so far. On Dec. 8, the Masset RCMP will be assisting the Healthy Communities Group in serving a Christmas dinner in the basement of the green church in Masset. Anybody is welcome to attend the dinner, which will be served between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. For those wanting to make food donations, contact Margerie Fregin at 626-9372.

Sandspit seeking answers after feds close off wharf access BY MARTINA PERRY SANDSPIT / The Northern View

Use of a Transport Canada wharf in Sandspit has been shut down. The Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District (SQCRD) is crying foul saying the community wasn’t consulted beforehand. “Transport Canada put a gate up on it, and didn’t say anything about their plans. It is disheartening that there was no discussions about it with the community,” Evan Putterill, representative for Sandspit, said at the last regional district meeting. The SQCRD board will forward a letter to the Federal Ministry of Transportation expressing their disappointment in closing off public access to the Sandspit wharf without consultation, and will request that any

“It is disheartening that there was no discussion about it.” - Evan Putterill future decisions related to the wharf are not made without discussions with the public. The letter will also state the board’s opposition to the wharf ’s closure as it serves a vital link to the community and has the potential to be used for aquaculture. The wharf is the only loading facility adjacent to the airport in Sandspit and is heavily relied on as a key link for freight to and from

Moresby Island. Putterill said it is also used for recreational reasons by Sandspit residents and has been for decades. The gate wasn’t erected because the wharf is unsafe, but rather as part of a Government of Canada program that’s divesting Transport Canada-owned port facilities across the country. The preference is transfer assets to local users as quickly as possible. However Putterill said the SQCRD shouldn’t volunteer to take on responsibility at this time. “It’s always the federal government’s preference to pawn rural infrastructure off unless it’s making them a bunch of money, or they think they can sell it to private sector in which case they’ll just wait to pawn it off for a few years,” he said.

General meeting and elections this coming Tuesday, Dec. 10 at 10 a.m. 2014 memberships are now on sale. Our memberships are very reasonably priced compared to a lot of seniors’ centres down south apparently, and you get a lot of services by being a member: hot lunch service, a lending library of books, wireless Internet service and the use of touch screen computers, use of our black and white copier for a nominal fee (not for copying 30 or more pages), use of the centre to play cards, play drop-in darts, floor curling, carpet bowling, seniors’ bingo, embroidery, tole painting, etc. We are open 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the coffee is usually on and a puzzle on the go. We often have lunches and, of course, the Christmas Open House that are for members and their guests. Hopefully soon we will be able to offer foot care clinics again. As well, we hold presentations and workshops from time to time that are relevant to seniors and are for our members-usually free of charge! We were able to offer chair yoga to our members last Spring but unfortunately we do not have an instructor who is available to us for the times we need them. We’ll just have to wait for a “retired” yoga instructor. But most of all we offer a lot of laughs and a good time.

B.C. budget BC Hydro rates to rise in 2014 shows surplus By Tom Fletcher

By Tom Fletcher

VICTORIA / Black Press

With half of the fiscal year in the books, the B.C. government is clinging to a small surplus that was promised in this spring’s election. Finance Minister Mike de Jong presented the province’s second quarter budget update Wednesday, projecting that the fiscal year will end in March with a surplus of $165 million. That’s up $29 million from the September budget update. Corporate tax revenue is higher than expected, making up for personal tax revenue that was $284 million less than forecast. Part of the decline in personal income tax is due to employment, which de Jong said was disappointingly “flat lined” so far in 2013. He said unemployment has “dropped modestly” and full-time employment has grown, but the province has work to do to meet its jobs plan goal. Another revenue loss for the B.C. treasury is provincial sales tax revenue, which is running $100 million below the budget forecast for the year. De Jong said one factor in that is that not all businesses have registered to collect and remit the PST since the province cancelled the harmonized sales tax last March.” More than 102,000 businesses have applied to register for the PST, and the finance ministry is continuing to assist businesses with seminars and one-on-one consultations on switching over.

The first of a series of BC Hydro rate increases takes effect in April 2014, adding $8 per month to the average residential power bill. Rate increases of nine per cent next year and six per cent in 2015 are the highest of a series of increases over five years announced Monday by Energy Minister Bill Bennett. The B.C. Utilities Commission will be directed to set rate increases that total up to 28 per cent over the next five years, then determine what rates are needed for the following five years, Bennett said. Commercial rates are going up the same amount. Bennett acknowledged that rate increases are being kept low by using a “rate smoothing” account that defers more than $1 billion of the utility’s debt. That account won’t begin to be paid down until after 2020. BC Hydro CEO Charles Reid said the latest rate increases are driven mainly by a large increase in capital spending, including seismic refits of old dams at Campbell River and Ruskin, turbine expansions at two Kootenay power dams and other upgrades. BC Hydro’s “big build” era of 1973 to 1982 produced rate increases totalling 113 per cent.

Tom Fletcher / Black Press

Energy Minister Bill Bennett an BC Hydro CEO Charles Reid take questions on the utility’s 10-year plan Nov. 25.

BC Hydro cited an annual survey by Hydro Quebec that shows BC Hydro customers currently pay the third lowest rates in North America. Montreal and Winnipeg customers pay less, and Seattle and Miami residents pay slightly more. NDP energy critic John Horgan said Bennett avoided the impact of private power purchases on BC Hydro’s rate increases. “We’re going to have increased debt for the next five years,” Horgan said. “They’re going to continue to take a dividend from a company that can’t afford to pay one, and the consequences

for people are going to be higher costs.” Bennett said the 10-year plan calls for the government to “wean itself off ” dividends from the utility, but the five years of reductions don’t start until 2018. The government has instructed BC Hydro to shut down the gas-fired Burrard Thermal generating station in Port Moody by 2016, saving an estimated $14 million a year. The forecast electricity surplus over the 10year plan allows that, but the facility will continue to be staffed for its grid stability function, Reid said.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Driveway goes Hollywood!

Zack Spencer reveals what turned his head week with a visit to the glitzy 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, Alexandra Straub looks at what’s cool, Bob McHugh goes green and Keith Morgan sneaks a peek at a racy compact concept. Check out the full script at drivewayBC.ca

LA-LA Land auto extravaganza LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Auto Show is full of eye-popping sights and some even include cars! It’s not difficult to have your head turned but it is a challenge to pick one’s top picks but I’m for the challenge. Nissan GT-R Nismo Nissan stole the show with not only one of the fastest cars in the world but the fastest man in the world. Olympic gold medalist and world record holder Usain Bolt was on hand as Nissan’s Director of Excitement. Usain was clearly taken with the new GT-R Nismo, there were also promises to get him one to replace his gold coloured GT-R. Power has been pumped up to 600hp taking this new Nismo version to 100 km/h in just two seconds. Look for the new GT-R in the spring of 2014. I suspect Usain will get his a bit earlier. Chevrolet Colorado The mid-size pickup truck market has been all but abandoned by the domestic automakers over the last few years leaving this category entirely to Toyota and Nissan with the Tacoma and Frontier trucks. Wait until next year and the choice will include the all-new Colorado from Chevrolet. Building off the success of the all-new full-size Silverado, the engineers have taken the same approach to this new truck. On the economy front, eventually there will be three engines to choose from. Out of gate, there is the base 2.5L 4-cylinder engine or a 3.6L V6. Subaru WRX Fans of the Subaru WRX will be very excited about the arrival of an all-new car but maybe a bit disappointed that this production model

doesn’t look very much little the sleek and sexy concept that was unveiled earlier this year. It should prove to be a capable car thanks to an all-new direct injection 2.0L 4-cylinder putting out 268hp and matched to the first 6-speed in the WRX. Subaru Legacy Concept A head Zack Spencer turning design that my sources tell me looks a lot like the production car. The metallic, almost chrome looking paint, certainly helps to make the car pop but the bold front grille and macho stance could very well be included in the final version. Lincoln MKC Lincoln has a long and distinguished history as an American premium brand but over the last few decades, it has been an extension of existing Ford products using different badging and trim. There is now a long-term plan to resurrect the Lincoln brand with all-new vehicle that use some Ford components but are developed separately from the main Ford line of products. The compact crossover MKC shares a platform with the Ford Escape but has been designed and engineered to be a very different car. The design, other than the trademark Lincoln grille is very European and the back wrap-around hatch is maybe Audi-inspired. Standard in Canada will be all-wheel-drive and adaptive suspension, matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Question OF THE WEEK:

BMW 4 Series Cabriolet BMW has changed its naming: the 3 Series is now the sedan only while the coupe and convertible version are now called 4 Series. The all-new cabriolet is wider and features a new three-piece retractable hardtop and for the first time X-Drive AWD is now available on the convertible models. Interior refinements include a new neck warmer to that blows a steady stream of warm air on the front passengers neck and shoulders, helping to elongate the convertible season. Porsche Macan This small SUV is based on the same platform as the Audi Q5. This lower, sleeker and much more aggressive Macan will attract a lot of attention based purely on looks. Porsche made it very clear that this is not juts a Porsche in name but also in performance. Look for the Macan coming next year. Jaguar F-Type Jaguar made a big splash with the Jaguar F-Type convertible this year and next year we look forward to the coupe version, a dynamite looking coupe with a stunning silhouette and improved dynamics thanks to a stiffer body. The body of the car is built with extensive use of aluminum to produce the stiffest Jaguar ever made. This is one heart-pounding coupe I cannot wait to try.

Do you worry about the reliability of a car bought privately? ? Go to drivewayBC.ca QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

to submit your answer.

Safety Tip: As road conditions become more challenging by the week, it becomes even more important to be attentive behind the wheel. If you need to make a call or send a text or email, pull over to the roadside, or use those highway rest stops to take a break. It can also help you avoid feeling fatigued.

How to get noticed at the Los Angeles Auto Show LOS ANGELES: Tinseltown. Hollywood. LA. No matter what you call it, it’s a city of millions and it’s easy to get lost in the crowd. But not if you’re attractive, have a great body and well, you shine. With hundreds of vehicles showcased at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it takes a lot to stand out amongst the plethora of sparkling sheet metal, which is constantly detailed by show workers. If you’re a sexy snake, that’s automatic grounds for attention. The You don’t get any SRT Viper GTS was faster on feet than on display, but it Usain Bolt does. And wasn’t just any old if you’re paired next venom-producing reptile. It came with to Nissan’s fastest the Anodized Carproduction GT-R bon Special Edition Package.

And exclusivity is the name of its game. Only 50 will be made and they’ll be available as of January, 2014. Speaking of fast things, you don’t get any faster on feet than Usain Bolt does. And if you’re paired next

to Nissan’s fastest production GT-R to date, that’s an even more potent combination. Godzilla takes on the NISMO (aka NISsan MOtorsport) badge with a healthy helping of 600-horsepower and some defining exterior features. In regards to its body, it’s more rigid than before and you’ll also find it has a “factory tuned” enhanced suspension. The aero package, which not only looks good, also improves road holding, minimizes the negative impact of drag, while giving the car a menacing and muscular appearance. If you’re a luxury German vehicle and you have a worldwide debut in LA, chances are you’ll draw quite the A-List crowd. The all-new Porsche Macan did such a thing, with visitors such as Jerry Seinfeld and professional tennis player, Maria Sharapova. The Indonesian word for tiger, it’s the first Porsche in the compact SUV segment. Or you could say it’s the baby brother to the popular-selling Cayenne. Either way, they’re both have some spice to them! Two renditions of Macan will be available: the Macan S and Macan Turbo. Standard features include active all-wheel drive and the Porsche double-clutch transmission (PDK). The Macan S is powered by a new Porsche-designed 3.0-litre V6 bi-turbo engine that puts out 340 horsepower. The Macan Turbo hosts a 3.6-litre V6 bi-turbo engine and emits 400 horsepower. Purrrr. Practical and eye catching? – You might not expect that from a cargo van, but when you team up with Hot Wheels, you’ll get exactly that: hot wheels! Ford paired up with Hot Wheels and had its Transit Connect XLT Cargo Van LWB beaming a custom bright blue exterior with orange accents and custom 20-inch wheels.

Sure there’s a new front fascia and grille, and even a one-off “shark-fin” roof mounted antennas supporting GPS and Satellite radio along with custom gullwing doors (which replaces the standard sliding doors), but there’s a party waiting on the inside. Alongside the custom ST seats, there’s a sleeping area and a 55-inch TV. Maybe I will try my hand at camping again, but only with this van! It wouldn’t be a California auto show without

Adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support is available on 10 Ford models. The system uses radar to detect moving vehicles immediately ahead and modifies cruising speed if necessary. Blind Spot Information System Available on 13 Ford models. Radar sensors in the rear corners monitor the spaces next to and just behind the vehicle. On the road, these sensors trigger a warning light in the mirror when there is another vehicle in the driver’s blind spot.

Things go green with Coke ... bottles The Ford and Coca-Cola have embarked upon an eco-marriage. They’re both extensive users of plastic and both are committed to recycling and finding eco-alternatives. The first offspring of this somewhat unusual realtionship is the Ford Fusion Energi with a PlantBottle Technology interior. PlantBottle Technology is the first-ever recyclable PET plastic bottle made partially from plants, instead of petroleum-derived materials. Already, more than 18 billion of these bottles have been distributed in 28 countries and Coca-Cola claims that this is equivalent to 400,000 barrels of oil saved. Using recycled PlantBottle bottles, Ford has produced the first-ever fiber that can be woven into durable, automotive-grade PET fabric. Fusion Energi is the plug-in hybrid version of Ford’s global midsize car and it’s Ford’s most fuel-efficient sedan. Sound-absorbing recycled denim material, equivalent to more than two average-sized pairs of blue jeans, are also used in the car’s carpet liner and Ford already uses soy foam, made with soybeans, in every vehicle it builds in North America.

Disobeying a green light Green means go, right? Drives me crazy when people roar off into a busy intersection, stranding innocent left turners. It seems these impatient folks don’t know that a green light entitles you to proceed but you must not impede those who have entered the intersection legally on a green from finishing their left turn. What drives-u-crazy. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca kmorgan@blackpress.ca

Forum tackling fishery issues BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Two Prince Rupert environmental groups want to educate the public on the value of fisheries and discuss community-based fisheries management. Ecotrust Canada and the TBuck Suzuki Foundation are holding Charting Our Own Course: A Forum on CommunityBased Management, which will include two presentations, as well as an open roundtable discussion on how community-based fisheries management could provide the region with opportunities. “The purpose of the event is to provide information to the community regarding fishery issues, and the importance of the fishery to the community,” Des Nobles of the TBuck Suzuki Foundation said. “Everyone is invited. We want to reframe and open up how fisheries are talked about in the community and give people the tools and information to inform themselves. Even if you aren’t hauling in a net off your boat, or you work in a fish plant, fisheries in Prince Rupert and on the North Coast is still a very important issue

that affects every one of us,” Devlin Fernandes, manager of Ecotrust Canada programs, said. Arthur Bell, fisheries policy analyst with Ecotrust Canada, will be speaking about lessons learned from community-based management in other parts of the country and world. Bell worked on community-based management in the inshore ground fishery in the Bay of Fundy region, and with First Nations in the area in the 1990s. Nobles, a longtime fisherman and fisheries activist, will also do a presentation on a recent report showing the intrinsic value of fisheries in communities. The report titled Understanding Values in Canada’s North Pacific was published by Ecotrust Canada and the TBuck Suzuki Foundation and focuses on North Coast fisheries, where shipping routes and a number of oil and gas development are being proposed. The report documents how on top of money generated, commercial fisheries in the area are also a source of other social and cultural values in coastal communities. “We thought this would be a great opportunity to bring the report out to the broader community and add it into the discussion,” Nobles said.

Vigil to honour massacre victims The North Coast Transition Society is holding a vigil to celebrate the lives of the women who were murdered on Dec. 6, 1989. It was on that date Marc Lepine entered an engineering class at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal with a rifle and separated the men from the women. Lepine told the nine female students present he was fighting feminism before opening fire, killing six of them. The gunman proceeded to travel throughout the school targeting women before turning the gun on himself.

In the end, he had killed 14 innocent women. The vigil in Prince Rupert will be held this Friday from noon to one p.m. at Northwest Community College in the multipurpose room, and all are invited to attend. Dec. 6 has been proclaimed the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women by the Canadian Government and commemorative events occur annually across Canada to remember the women killed and to continue to end violence in all its forms.

China, India join LNG rush VICTORIA / Black Press

Chinese petrochemical giant Sinopec, another Japanese player and an unidentified Indian company are joining the international move to explore liquefied natural gas exports from northern B.C., says Rich Coleman, B.C.’s minister for natural gas development. Sinopec, ranked the fifth largest global company in 2011, is looking for LNG imports equivalent to the output of the world’s second largest LNG terminal, Coleman told reporters as Premier Christy Clark began a trade trip to Asia. Another new player is Idemitsu Kosan Co., the second largest petroleum refiner in Japan, which is applying for a federal export permit in a partnership with Calgary-based AltaGas

called Triton LNG. China National Overseas Oil Company and its new subsidiary Nexen has put up a non-refundable deposit of $12 million toward purchase of provincial land on the north side of Grassy Point near Prince Rupert, Coleman said. Another unidentified company has shown interest in the south side of Grassy Point for LNG development. The new proposals add to a lineup of international investment proposed by Petronas, Chevron, Shell, British Gas and others, which are expected to make final investment decisions in 2014. Coleman said the tax rate for LNG producers is to be presented to companies by the end of November, but it may not be public until the B.C. government table its budget in February.

Christmas caroling Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw him, you would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games. Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say: “Rudolph with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?” Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history!

And, my dear, we’re still Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, good-bying, What a beautiful sight. But as long as you love me so, Jump in bed, cover up your head, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! ‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.
