An agreement is now in place for the development of a second LNG Terminal at Grassy Point. On Jan. 16, the Ministry of Natural Gas Development signed a sole proponent agreement with Australian company Woodside for 693.6 hectares of land and 243.9 hectares of foreshore - Christy Clark on the southern part of Grassy Point. Under the agreement, Woodside will pay the province $4 million now, another $6 million on or before the first anniversary of the agreement and a further $7 million on the second anniversary for a total payment of $17 million. See WOODSIDE on Page A2

The rush to the court room has begun as four groups are looking to block the federal government from approving the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. The Gitxaala Nation of Kitkatla, the Haisla Nation of Kitamaat, EcoJustice Lawyers on behalf of ForestEthics Advocacy, Living Oceans Society and Raincoast Conservation Foundation and the Environmental Law Centre at the University of Victoria on behalf of B.C. Nature and Nature Canada all filed appeals with the Federal Court of Appeal in Vancouver last week. The suit filed by the Gitxaala claims the Joint Review Panel (JRP) ignored issues surrounding

“The JRP had a responsibility to take our concerns seriously, but it didn’t.” - Clarence Innis aboriginal rights and title. The band claims that the approval flies in the face of more than 7,500 pages of documentary evidence, a 320 page submission and experts the band submitted in opposition to the project during the review. “The JRP had a responsibility to take our concerns seriously, but it didn’t,” said acting

Gitxaala Chief Clarence Innis. “Gitxaala were given the opportunity to speak, but were not heard,” said Rosanne Kyle, lawyer for the Gitxaala Nation. A spokesperson for Enbridge Northern Gateway said the court filings are premature. “Northern Gateway is confident in the integrity of the Joint Review Panel process and report. Its recommendations and conditions are based on science and the input of experts,” said Ivan Giesbrecht. “As part of the legal process, organizations and individuals have 30 days to appeal a decision of any federal board or tribunal. Today’s filing from various environmental groups did not come as a surprise to us. It is an expected part of the process.”

Push on for dog Province to receive $17 million park in Port Edward Three-year BY SHAUN THOMAS PORT EDWARD / The Northern View

The push is underway to get a dog-friendly park in Port Edward. At the Jan. 13 meeting, council brought forward a petition signed by 85 residents seeking an offleash park similar to Doug Kerr Field in Prince Rupert. “Many of us here in Port Edward have dogs and we all share the same challenge. This town is rich with wildlife, predators included, which limits a lot of our dogs to leashes. This is not always enough; dogs need to run,” wrote Mark Hill in the petition preamble. Those signing the petition are asking council to make the current soccer field in the community a dog park, saying it would both benefit dog owners and make the field more of an asset to the community. “There are no organized sports teams that practice nor are there any games or tournaments held there. It seems a waste of a perfectly good field ... we think if you allowed dogs on the field, more people would use it

“If you allowed dogs on the field, more people would use it.” - Mark Hill responsibly and [respectfully],” wrote Hill, who acknowledged there could be concern from other users. “It is beautifully kept with the grass well looked after, so we can understand your concern for the feces some negligent owners may leave behind, but banning dogs is not the answer, especially seeing as during the spring it is completely covered with geese droppings. Dogs on the field would help prevent this.” While the petition came before council last Tuesday, it won’t be discussed until the Jan. 28 meeting as Councillors Dan Franzen and Christine McKenzie were absent from the meeting. “I would like to have this held over so we can have a better discussion,” said Counc. Knut Bjorndal.

WOODSIDE from Page A1 If the land is acquired by Woodside, the $17 million submitted to the province will be subtracted from the final sale price. Premier Christy Clark lauded the new agreement as another step in growing the industry in the province. “Grassy Point is an ideal site for LNG development and this is the second agreement we’ve signed. Every step forward brings us closer to realizing the opportunity presented by LNG, bringing billions in investment and 100,000 new jobs throughout the province,” said Clark. The agreement is subject to a successful environmental assessment process and the receipt of an export licence from the National Energy Board. The company acknowledges there is still a lot of work ahead. “Woodside looks forward to working with the Government of British Columbia, the First

Parents step forward to save CHSS PAC

Bowles resigns from school board Trustees vote down byelection By Martina Perry PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

By Shaun Thomas PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Students in Charles Hays will still have access to approximately $15,000 in gaming money. In late December, the school notified parents that the Parent Advisory Council was in danger of folding due to a lack of parent involvement and the council not having an executive. An emergency meeting was called for Jan. 15 to find volunteers to keep the PAC running, as the group receives $15,000 in gaming funds from the province each year that goes towards programs like band, drama, extracurricular activities and bursaries for graduating students. Following the meeting, CHSS principal Sandy Pond said the positions needed to be filled have been and the PAC is still in place. “We had a good group come out and a lot of people phoning ... we have a new executive in place and they’ve gotten the ball rolling,” she said, adding that response from parents was quite strong once the call went out. “We had a lot of people phoning the school and I knew we would have the support if needed.”

There will be an empty seat on the Prince Rupert School District board of education until November’s municipal election following the resignation of trustee Marty Bowles. Cam McIntyre, secretary-treasurer of School District 52, received Bowles’ resignation earlier this month and advised the board of his decision at a school board meeting last Tuesday. Prior to his resignation, Bowles had requested an unpaid leave of absence from the board that started in October, 2013. According to McIntyre, Bowles did not provide a reason for stepping down from his position. When reached for comment, Bowles indicated the decision was made for personal reasons he did not wish to expand upon.

Trustee Terri-Lynn Huddlestone made a motion to hold the seventh seat vacant instead of holding a byelection, stating it would be a costly endeavour with only a matter of months until the next municipal election. “I acknowledge being down a trustee is difficult thing but ... looking at our budget and what’s in the best interest of our community at this time, I think a byelection is very costly to consider. In just a number of months there will be a formal election; I don’t think it’s a detriment to our district at this time,” Huddlestone said. Trustee Louisa Sanchez was concerned about board members tying on important decisions and was assured by board chair Tina Last if a vote is deadlocked the motion is automatically defeated. All board members supported the motion against holding a byelection, with

Ferries priced out of the market

defy anyone in BC Ferries to say the declining ridership they have been seeing on the Inside Passage isn’t related to increasing ferry fares - fares that are only getting higher and higher. While working on the story about ferry traffic numbers for this week, I was curious about what it would cost for a family to take the scenic trip between Prince Rupert and Port Hardy. The answer blew my mind. Let’s assume a family of four with two children over 12 years of age and a typical car or minivan. For that family to take a day cruise along the Inside Passage, the total bill would be $1,223.50. If they happen to be traveling in a motorhome Shaun Thomas 20-feet or larger, that figure balloons to $1,539. If the motorhome is larger than 20 feet, as most are, add $22.25 per extra foot such that a 30-foot motorhome would cost $1,761.50. At this point I would also be remiss in mentioning that anyone over the age of 12 is considered an adult in the eyes of BC Ferries and comes with a ticket price of $194.75. Those costs are just to get on the boat and don’t include any food, drinks, pillows, blankets or other amenities travelers may need. So, to summarize, to take a 15-hour trip along the coast in a car will cost a family of four over $80 per hour plus expenses, or approximately $20 per person per hour. There are other things that cost $20 per person per hour for sure, but they don’t require such a lengthy commitment. If I were planning a vacation, I would be hard pressed to find a reason to take the Inside Passage. $1,223.50 can go a long way and can easily be stretched out to a multi-day vacation as opposed to a single day trip. BC Ferries may not see other vacation options as competition, but everything out there is competition for the tourist dollar. They say a key to marketing is knowing your audience - with these prices I would say the audience for the Inside Passage is leaning to the extremely financially well off.

Container conversion “Self righteous” column an insult created opportunities

Letters to the editor

Editor: I am thoroughly appalled at the utter lack of compassion displayed in your editorial of Jan. 15, where you openly insult the unemployed and you patronize those who are less than ideally prepared for their job interviews. Like a modern-day Mr. Bounderby, your mock despair at the shortcomings of the local work force is insulting and demeaning and does nothing but reinforce the attitude so prevalent in this day and age that poverty is a personal choice, not the result of a skewed socio-economic system. The one item that particularly rankled me was your self-righteous indignation at people’s cheek to ask about their wages during the job interview. You seem to forget that employment is a financial transaction, a negotiated exchange of labour for money. I am certain that local employers don’t get all coy about how much things cost when negotiating with their suppliers; why should a job applicant be embarrassed about asking about their wages? Did you, Mr. Hamilton, ask how much you were going to be paid for inflicting your typoridden, yesterday’s-news newspaper on this longsuffering readership before taking the job? I am sure you did. So why shouldn’t a potential cashier at the supermarket be just as savvy? While asking right off the bat is not the ‘done thing’, let’s be candid about it: They are not trying to get that retail job for the good of their soul. The labourer is worthy of his wages and should be respected

for implying so. Your entire article reeks of white, middle-class privilege. Yes, it would be nice if everybody’s mommies and daddies had taught them to dress nicely and show up on time; it would be ideal if everybody came out of high school being able to write a proper resume (or a newspaper article, for that matter) that is grammatically correct and free of spelling mistakes, rogue apostrophes and awkward syntax. Unfortunately, many were not as lucky as you or me to be randomly born into a family that would model and encourage desirable social skills, nor do they possess the innate ability and moral strength to develop those qualities all by themselves. Some people, Mr. Hamilton, were born with the deck stacked against them. They do not deserve our condemnation for their shortcomings any more than you or I deserve congratulations for our advantages. There, but for the grace of the universe, go we. Mariana Hülsen Prince Rupert

Editor: The NDP says that we need to train more trades people in this province and I totally agree with that. But if the NDP was to form government, where would these newly-trained people work, as the NDP is opposed to all of the projects that would supply the necessary employment. With that kind of logic it is not hard to understand what happened in the last B.C. and federal elections. The silent majority in B.C. and in Canada elected governments that ran on a platform that would focus on jobs and the economy. This is absolutely necessary if our country is to remain economically stable and it is time to get on with creating the necessary jobs. No more time should be wasted trying to appeal to unrealistic fringe protest groups.

Any delay in the start of proposed LNG projects will result in higher costs for those projects and lost revenue for the government. Coupled with a steady decline in revenue from the forest industry due to the mountain pine beetle epidemic, this would eventually lead to higher personal taxes or a cutback in government-funded services that a lot of us appear to take for granted. If the government was to continue to supply these services with borrowed money it would eventually bankrupt our country as has been the case in many countries in Europe. It would be great if we never had to cut down another tree or drill another oil well, but we don’t live in a fantasy world and something has to pay the bills. Brian Mould Terrace, B.C.

RE:PORT

s a breakbulk handling facility, Fairview Terminal was well-utilized between its first vessel call in 1973 and the early 1990s, when terminal throughput began to decline across all lines of business. Despite the port’s best efforts to replace the steady loss of lumber volumes with pulp from across western Canada, by the year 2000 nearly all forest products for export were being loaded into containers in BC’s southern ports and exported to Asia. In 2002, volumes through Fairview were negligible. As early as 1996, Port Authority staff launched studies into the potential for converting the terminal to a container handling facility, as it was clear any future opportunities for Fairview lay in containerized trade. For any port to operate a successful container terminal, it requires both import traffic and loaded containers for export to attract major shipping companies. Unlike most other North American ports, Prince Rupert does not have a large population to support the large-scale import of consumer goods from Asia. Fortunately, the Port of Prince Rupert’s geographic proximity to Asia and rail corridor connection give it a significant advantage in time and cost for linking inbound cargoes to major markets all over the continent. In fact, the absence of a local market gave Prince Rupert the opportunity to create a unique, modern intermodal operation, without interference from road traffic or congestion on its underutilized rail link. Initial planning was for a modest conversion of Fairview Terminal pegged at $28 million, which would only handle container ships with a 3,000–4,000 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) capacity. It quickly became apparent that to capitalize on the port’s natural deep water advantage, the new terminal would need to accommodate the newer, larger container ships being designed for trans-Pacific trade, which at the time were as large as 13,000 TEUs. Specific investments by senior levels of government helped the Port Authority confirm the ambitious vision. A number of terminal operators responded to the Port Authority’s call for submissions. Maher Terminals of New Jersey stood out. With 60 years of experience, including operating the largest container terminal in North America, Maher signed an agreement with the Port in 2004. It gave the project increased credibility in the international marine community. In September 2007, the conversion project was completed and Fairview Terminal was opened for business. Despite launching at the outset of a major collapse in world trade, when other West Coast facilities experienced dramatic reductions in traffic, the terminal experienced immediate success. This is likely due to the combined enthusiasm of its operator and the labour of local ILWU workers, who embraced the sophisticated techniques involved in working at the new state-of-the-art facility. It was also a result of Prince Rupert’s unique value proposition—and, of course, the decision by the COSCO container shipping line to serve the port. In just over six years, Fairview Container Terminal developed into one of the fastest-growing container terminals in the world, and today serves Canada as a premier gateway for diverse types of containerized cargo, both imported and exported.

Class sizes below B.C. average Composition remains an issue for PRDTU

After lengthy delays and a break near the holidays, the lights at the corner of 9th Ave. and McBride were installed last week, although they had yet to be activated as of Monday.

The number of students in Prince Rupert classrooms may be below the provincial average, but the Prince Rupert District Teachers’ Union (PRDTU) says class composition remains a problem. The British Columbia Ministry of Education released provincial class size averages, with superintendent Sandy Jones reporting Prince Rupert’s data to the board of education last week. Kindergarten classes in the Prince Rupert School District have an average of 19 new learners, which is approximately the same as the average Kindergarten class in British Columbia at 19.3. The average Grade 1 through Grade 3 class in Prince Rupert has 20 students, which is slightly less than the provincial average of 21.5 per class. Grade 4 through 7 classes in the Prince Rupert School District have an average of 21.2 students, which is lower

- Kathy Murphy Last year the government abolished Bill 33, which legally required school administration to have a conversation with teachers concerned with their class composition. “Teachers felt heard because the administrator would know their concerns and would try to balance things the best they could with the resources they had,” she said, noting that is no longer the case. “There are classrooms in our district where the composition is quite challenging for teachers. There are classes with eight or nine children on IEPs and the teacher is working extremely hard to meet the needs of everybody.”

than the provincial average of 25.7. On average there are 17.5 students per class in Grade 8 through 12, which is impressive when compared to the average Grade 8 to Grade 12 class size of 23 in the province. “We’ve made a commitment to keeping class sizes down. I think this indicates we’re doing pretty good,” Jones said. Kathy Murphy, president of the PRDTU, is pleased Prince Rupert class sizes are below the provincial average, but was disappointed the district didn’t have a report on class composition. “Traditionally our concern in our district has been around composition ... in Prince Rupert we have a greater number of students who have special needs and who are on Individual Education Plans (IEPs) than other school districts in the province,” she said. Murphy acknowledged the lack of composition statistics isn’t the district’s decision, but the provincial government’s.

Prince Rupert Port Authortiy / Special to The Northern View

A new lighted NavAid at Phillips Point will improve safety for vessels navigating the Prince Rupert harbour.

MOU leads to new NavAid

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A partnership between the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) and the Canadian Coast Guard is working to improve the safety of vessels entering or leaving the Prince Rupert harbour. Late last week, the pair announced the installation of a new lighted NavAid at Philips Point between Kaien and Digby Island. The NavAid was something identified as needed during port operation meetings with harbour - Gary Paulson user groups such as the BC Coast Pilots. The Coast Guard agreed the light would enhance safety as it would be visible to mariners at either end of the harbour. “The Prince Rupert Port Authority has shown leadership in marine safety by initiating this MOU, which will allow this and future NavAid projects to proceed as required. This project is demonstrative of the close working relationship that exists between port stakeholders in Prince Rupert and our ability to effectively collaborate on issues of marine safety,” said Canadian Coast Guard western region assistant commissioner Roger Girouard. With significant growth projected for the Port of Prince Rupert in the years ahead, harbour master Gary Paulson said this type of initiative is an important part of the port’s plans. “As we plan and prepare for growth in the number and size of vessels calling at the Port of Prince Rupert, we’re identifying measures to increase the overall safety of vessels, mariners and the surrounding environment of our harbour,” he said. Under the recently signed MOU, PRPA will fund the cost to have new NavAids like Philips Point built to CCG specifications, ensuring that the aids are built to a robust standard consistent with government owned aids.

“We’re identifying measures to increase overall safety.”

Ridership drops on Inside Passage By Shaun Thomas PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Year-end figures from BC Ferries show fewer people took a trip on the Inside Passage in 2013 than 2012, but more people made their way to Haida Gwaii than the year before. A total of 31,066 passengers traveled between Prince Rupert and Port Hardy in 2013 compared to 32,748 in 2012, a drop of 1,682 that equates to 5.14 per cent. Along with the passengers, fewer vehicles were on board. Last year 9,594 vehicles were on the Inside Passage compared to 9,960 the year before, a drop of 366 equal to 3.67 per cent. The numbers are a far cry from the traffic seen at the turn of the decade. In 2010 there were 37,605 passengers and 11,401 vehicles, a difference of 6,539 passengers and 1,807 vehicles. In contrast to the Inside Passage, ridership between Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii is on the rise. A total of 32,385 passengers made the sailing in 2013 compared to 30,540 in 2012, an increase of 6.04 per cent. Vehicle traffic was also up on the route, rising 6.34 per cent from 11,893 vehicles to 12,647 in 2013. Unlike the Inside Passage, travel to Haida Gwaii has gone up so far this decade. In 2010 there were 31,520 passengers and 12,299 vehicles, 865 passengers and 348 vehicles less than the 2013 numbers. The final numbers come just months before BC Ferries is to cut service on the Inside Passage by 32 per cent and cut Haida Gwaii service by 52 sailings per year.

Bitumen sinks with sediment Federal study looks at spills

By Tom Fletcher VICTORIA / Black Press

A new federal government study has found that diluted bitumen floats in sea water, except when it is mixed with some types of sediment that can make it heavy enough to sink. The study used laboratory simulations of two common types of crude produced from the Alberta oilsands and salt water tanks that approximated wave action. The behaviour of diluted bitumen in water was one of the key issues in the Northern Gateway pipeline hearings, which led to a recommendation in December that the twin pipeline from northern Alberta to oil tanker port facilities should be allowed to proceed. The federal government has funded an ocean-based study of spilled bitumen as part of its shipping safety program, launched in the 2012 budget and now labelled the “World Class Initiative”. There are no studies or records of actual diluted bitumen spills at sea available. The laboratory study by Environment Canada, Fisheries

Black Press archives

An oil tanker approaches the Westridge Terminal at Burnaby, the only current B.C. source of diluted bitumen for shipment at sea.

and Oceans Canada and Natural Resources reached two major conclusions: “Like conventional crude oil, both diluted bitumen products floated on saltwater (free of sediment) even after evaporation and exposure to light and mixing with water,” it reads. “When fine sediments were suspended in the saltwater, highenergy wave action mixed the sediments with the diluted bitumen, causing the mixture to sink or be dispersed as floating tarballs.” The study also looked at the 2010 spill of diluted bitumen from an Enbridge pipeline rupture into the Kalamazoo River in Michigan, where the heavy oil was carried nearly 100 kilometres downstream

and between 10 and 20 per cent of it mixed with sediments and sank. While floating oil is easier to recover, a study commissioned by the B.C. government last year found that the existing oil spill response system for B.C.’s north coast would only be able to recover three to four per cent of it. NDP critics seized on the finding that diluted bitumen sinks when combined with sediment. “There is no longer any doubt that the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline poses an unacceptable risk to northwest communities and the environment,” said NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert, who has been touring the region.

A Prince Rupert couple is encouraging people to open up their hearts and help British Columbia families like theirs. Elaine and Timothy Hupman have relied on Variety – The Children’s Charity to help pay for their son’s pricey medication for a number of years and hope that Rupertites will support Variety’s 48th Annual Show of Hearts Telethon, which takes place later this week. “We’re very, very grateful for all that Variety has done for us,” Elaine said. “Many B.C. families wouldn’t be able to make it without Variety ... we need these organizations, and people need to contribute to them to keep them going.” When the Hupman’s son Matthew was nine years old he was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Doctors first recommended that Matthew take Ritalin, but when no improvements were seen he was prescribed Concerta. “The medication helps him maintain that calm so he can focus, even though he still struggles,” Elaine said. The medication is expensive and isn’t covered by the BC Medical system. The cost of Matthew’s medications has varied from year-to-year depending on the dosages level,

“We need to stick together as families, communities and a province.” - Elaine Hupman with Elaine estimating it ranges from $1,500 and $2,500 per year. The family has applied for grants through Variety, with the children’s charity providing more than $3,000 to the Hupman’s since 2008. “The assistance means we have the financial freedom to take care of our family. We’re on a one-person income,” said Elaine, adding the family purchased a home that is in need of renovations. “Getting help with his medication helps us achieve goals like that.” Elaine encouraged people to help out in any way they can, whether it be by donating or volunteering their time. “We need to stick together as families, communities and a province. The government isn’t there for us. Organizations like Variety are,” she said. The Show of Hearts Telethon is Variety – The Children’s Charity’s biggest fundraising event of the year, and will be aired on Global BC on Jan. 25 at 7 p.m. and Jan. 26 at 5:30 p.m., with viewers being able to make a pledge by calling 310-KIDS or by donating online at variety.bc.ca.

Rampage preparing for CIHL playoffs Face Terrace in first round action BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The 2013/2014 Central Interior Hockey League is now in the books and the Prince Rupert Rampage are preparing to begin their playoff push this Saturday night. The Rampage finished with a record of 7-10-1 for a total of 15 points, which put them as the fourth seed in the western conference playoffs. The Terrace River Kings topped the conference standings with 25 points, based on a 12-5-1 record, which was just one point ahead of the Kitimat Ice Demons who finished with a record of 9-3-6. The Smithers Steelheads will be the third seeded team with 19 points based on a record of 9-8-1. The seeding sets up a best-of-three first round playoff match between Terrace and Prince Rupert, two teams who are no strangers to each other. Between the regular season and the pre-season Challenge Cup, the two teams have faced off a total of five times this season and have been fairly evenly matched. Prince Rupert won two of those games and Terrace won three games in a series that included both a shootout and a 10-1 blowout in favour of the River Kings. Offensively the goals against between the two teams during the regular season, aided by the blowout, tell a different story. The Rampage scored 11 goals against Terrace during the season while the Kings found the back of the net 22 times against Prince Rupert. And while Prince Rupert finished with no players cracking the top 20 scorers list for the season, the River Kings had three players present including Josh Murray, the league’s third highest scorer with 36 points in 18 games. The first game of the playoff series will take place at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre Arena this Saturday night before moving to Terrace for game two and, if needed, game three the following weekend. Look for results from this weekend’s game in next Wednesday’s issue of the Northern View.

The Charles Hays Secondary junior boys Rainmakers celebrate their tournament victory in Prince George.

Rainmakers win Condor Classic

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Charles Hays Secondary School (CHSS) junior boys basketball team placed first at the Condor Classic in Prince George earlier this month, winning all three games they competed in. Duchess Park Secondary School hosted the Jan.11/12 tournament that consisted of 12 teams from around the province, with CHSS’ team playing all their games against Prince George schools. “Our tournament championship ... boiled down to a few things,” said Kevin Sawka, junior boys basketball coach. “Our team plays together and we have depth – we had eight different team members score in double digits over our three games. Likewise our team defence was really solid. In two of our games we held opponents to 35 points or less. I can’t

“I can’t say enough about how they work together.” - Kevin Sawka

say enough about how they work together.” On Friday evening the Rainmakers took the court for their first game of the tournament against Prince George’s Kelly Road Secondary School, with the junior boys beating their opponents 42-35. Grade 10 player Nicolis Campbell was named the Team Player of the Game. The then Rainmakers faced off against Prince George’s College Height Secondary School in their closest game of the tournament, which ended 54-50 in the junior boys’

favour. Bobby Bob, who’s in Grade 10, was named the Team Player of the Game. In the final game of the Condor Classic, CHSS took on tournamenthosts Duchess Park for the team’s most biggest win with a 44-33 final. Grade 10 student Dominic Irvine earned the Team Player of the Game. Although coach Sawka is pleased the team won all three games, the win over Duchess Park was the most satisfying. “Our (Condor Classic) win brings our official record to 10-1 across Northern B.C., the last of which came with a victory over Duchess Park who is currently ranked in the top 14 in the province with an honourable mention ranking,” he said. The team will be hosting the 13th annual Coastal Clash at Charles Hays Secondary School this coming weekend. Games begin at 3 p.m. on Friday and the final will take place at 7 p.m. on Saturday.

She’ll be the best girl goalie up here coming up in her age,” he said. “If she stays with it she’s going to be really good.” The team is also putting its efforts towards anti-bullying initiatives. Andersen is also the coach for Skeena Middle School’s hockey academy and connected to parent-academy Pacific Rim Hockey Academy’s anti-bullying efforts.

The seeds have been planted for the next crop of northwest female hockey players, with the novice/atom girls team already taking shape and looking to grow together over the next four or five years. Coach Brad Andersen’s team of nineand 10-year-olds is made up of Prince Rupert players Elly Lowe, Samantha Wiley, Jordyn Carter and Payton Colussi as well as players from Terrace and Kitimat. This year, the potential is there to have them rival, or maybe even surpass, the success of long-time coach Mario Desjardins’ team of girls who made history last year as bantams, winning provincial tournaments all season and dominating championship games. “These girls coming up ... they’re all really even in talent,” said Andersen of his team, noting that it’s an added benefit that they’re already playing together at such a young age. Late last year the team faced off against a Peewee team from Hazelton in Terrace. “I put the team together that I think should be the team for the next four or five years,” said Andersen of that game’s roster. And the team performed outstandingly, winning 12-2 and showcasing strong skating skills. “It was pretty impressive,” he said.

Notes from Port pays for Rampage offence the Seniors Salvation Army receives $3,400 Centre BY MARTINA PERRY

BY DONNA

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The offensive prowess of the Prince Rupert Rampage has paid dividends for the Salvation Army. Early in the season, the Prince Rupert Port Authority committed to donate $100 to the Salvation Army for each goal scored by Rampage players during 2013/2014 home games. Following the final home game on Jan. 12, which the Prince Rupert Rampage won 5-4 in overtime, the team had a total of 34 goals equating to a $3,400 donation made by the port to the Salvation Army. The funds will be used for the food bank, shelter and other services the organization provides in Prince Rupert. Ken Veldman, the port’s director of public affairs, said it has been the port’s pleasure to partner with the “enthusiastic and communityminded hockey club” this season. “Through their dedication to the team and the many extracurricular events they participate in, these young men are incredible supporters of our community.

CASTELLI, Teresa (Bufo) 1931-2014

Passed away peacefully in Langley hospital at the age of 82 on January 13, 2014 following a brief illness. Predeceased by her husband, Alfonso, in 1992, it was her sincere wish to rejoin him after so many years apart. Born into a family of 9 brothers and sisters in Teramo, Italy, she immigrated to Canada in 1956 along with her husband and young son Mario, who misses her along with his wife Halina; grand-daughter Teresa, her husband Darren Toth and great-grand-children Colin and Katrina; grand-son Andrew Castelli, his wife Amy and great-grand-daughter Lola ; and grand-son Mark Castelli and his wife Lisa Marie. She will also be deeply missed by her son Ray Castelli, his wife Barbara Barry and grandson Barry; as well as her daughter Adriana, her husband Carter Haakenson; grandson Rino Falvo and his wife Jazmin; and grand-daughter Ashley Haakenson. The family initially settled in Prince Rupert, joining her brother-in-law Durante, sister-in-law Lucia and their children Patricia and Romano. She subsequently sponsored another brother-in-law Camillo and sister Carmela, who immigrated to this small coastal city along with their sons Camillo (Nello) and Gabriel, daughter Adolorato (Dolly) and her husband Guiseppe (Joe). Teresa will also be missed by her many nieces and nephews. The family prospered in Prince Rupert, working in the mshing and restaurant industries, driven in large part by the enterprising and hard working spirit of Teresa. She taught herself English, worked 3 jobs to support the family when her husband suffered a workplace injury, and rose from the ranks of dishwasher to become a well-regarded chef at the best restaurant (Crest) in northern British Columbia. Teresa was uniquely skilled in the kitchen. She did not just cook, she created great food â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to the great delight of her customers and her family. After her husband passed away in 1992, Teresa moved to Langley and lived with her daughter Adriana and her family. She became active in the Langley seniors centre and made many new friends due to her gregarious personality and her kind and generous heart. She took cruises, traveled to Las Vegas, made arts and crafts, invented quilt patterns, knitted scarves and made pottery. The family would like to extend their thanks and appreciation to all of Teresaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends, and the staff at the Cedar Hill extended care facility and the many nurses and doctors at Langley Hospital. A celebration of Teresaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was held on Saturday, January 18th at the St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church, 20676 Fraser Highway, Langley, BC.

Celebrating multicultural art

Correction: Last week’s Lions Share photo inaccurately reported the $6,500 donated to the Sunken Gardens was from the Blue Knuckle Derby. It was general funds from the club.

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

To Catch A Fish, First cast a line.

Art has the power to connect people, regardless of where they come from. A series of free art workshops the North Coast Immigrant and Multicultural Services Society will begin hosting this weekend hopes to utilize art to bring a diverse mix of Prince Rupert together, whether they are new to the community and country or are longtime residents. “The aim [of the series] is to foster new friendships and connections between the different cultural groups in the community and to bring the arts into people’s lives in a meaningful way,” said Prince Rupert artist Lynn Cociani, who is coordinating the series. “There are few things as lovely as a room full of people coming together to create and share.” Throughout the series, participants will create art projects revolving around cultural identity and the value of diversity within Prince Rupert. Each workshop will have a different approach to the theme based on the leader’s vision. The first workshop of the series will take place on the morning of Saturday, Jan. 25, with Adrienne Johnston leading participants in the creation of a fabric square that incorporates self-resonating elements of their culture. “Each person is going to bring something from their own culture to the quilt. [The squares will] be sewn together to signify the coming together of all of us to form a community,” Cociani said, adding the workshop will continue on the morning of Feb. 1. Joan Mostad is putting on the second workshop, which will take place over six hours on Feb. 8. Mostad will have participants combine painting in a mixed-medium collage, encouraging them to combine their past and

“There are few things as lovely as a room full of people together and share.” - Lynn Cociani present into one piece. Then, Nicole Best Rudderham will guide attendees in a similar project, using drawing and painting to create art combining aspects of participants’ past with the lives they are leading now, integrating the old and new. This workshop will take place in the evenings of Feb. 11 and Feb. 13. The final workshop will happen in the afternoon of Feb. 16, with Mike Ambach and Arianne Loranger-Saindon having attendees express themselves through collages and mixedmedia. “They’re going to focus on the storytelling aspect of art, and how art can help you tell your own personal story,” Cociani said, adding Ambach and Loranger-Saindon will have people work together to find the similarities and differences in their stories and how those stories combined make a community. Following the conclusion of the last workshop, there will be an exhibit featuring pieces created during the series to coincide with the International Day for the Eradication of Racial Discrimination on March 21. Anyone interested in taking part in any of the workshops can contact Lynn Cociani at (250) 624-8408 or by email at lynnmkc@gmail. com to register. Materials will be supplied, however there is a limited number of spots in each workshop.

Disability consultations underway BY TOM FLETCHER VICTORIA / The Northern View

The B.C. government has begun a provincewide tour to collect ideas for improving conditions for disabled people, particularly by improving their job prospects. Social Development Minister Don McRae attended the first session Monday evening in his home community of Courtenay, which drew a capacity crowd of 70 people. He plans to attend other ones in the B.C. Interior and Lower Mainland in the coming weeks. The ministry has also established a website for public comments, and one of the more frequent suggestions is for B.C. to increase its social assistance payment to disabled people. That now stands at $906 per month, including a rent subsidy. McRae said in an interview that major cost items like that will have to wait until B.C.’s economy improves. Meanwhile, efforts to increase

employment are showing promise. B.C. has increased the amount of income that can be earned without reducing disability benefits from $500 to $800 a month. McRae said he wants to expand on a pilot project that allows people to earn more than that for part of the year, so they can take advantage of seasonal work. McRae, who had “social innovation” added to his title when he was appointed to the ministry last year, said he was encouraged by a meeting with a Tim Hortons franchise owner from Ontario who now employs one out of four people with disabilities in his stores. Employees average less than a year in those jobs, but disabled employees stay an average of five years, which saves substantial money on training. “It benefits the disability community, and it also helps his bottom line,” McRae said. The website to submit a comment online or register to attend meetings is at engage.gov.bc.ca/ disabilitywhitepaper.

Man arrested after threatening Hydro employee BY CONST. GLEN BRECKON MASSET / The Northern View

Between Jan. 6 and Jan. 13, Masset RCMP responded to 13 calls for service. On Jan. 9, BC Hydro reported to Masset RCMP that they had been threatened by one of their customers in Port Clements after issuing a notice they were going to disconnect service to his address. Due to the serious nature of the threats, the subject of complaint was arrested and brought before a Judicial Justice of Peace, who released the accused on a number of conditions. The accused is due to appear in court in Masset at a later date. On Jan. 9, Masset RCMP responded to a single vehicle rollover near Port Clements. Investigation revealed that the driver of the vehicle was impaired by alcohol. In addition to a number of charges, the driver was issued an immediate 90 day driving prohibition and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days. The male passenger of the vehicle was transported to the Masset hospital by BC Ambulance with minor injuries. On Jan. 11, Masset RCMP responded to a report of a theft of a Honda 50cc dirt bike. The bike was stolen from a storage shed, to which the suspect(s) gained entry by breaking a lock off the door. Police were able to gather some physical evidence at the scene of the theft and the investigation into this matter is ongoing. As always, any suspicious activity can be reported to the Masset RCMP at 250-6263991 or anonymously to Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or online at www. bccrimestoppers.com.

Haida hat an honour among Canucks Player of the Game award

BY SHAUN THOMAS HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View

When the final buzzer sounds and the players hit the locker room, the attention of Vancouver Canucks players turns to a hat from Haida Gwaii. The hat was presented to team during the Canucks Meet the North Tour and is now being used to represent the cream of the Canuck crop on any given night. “[Coach John Tortorella] asked us to come up with something for the player of the game, some sort of hat, and the players were throwing around some ideas that would sort of represent Vancouver. There was a few funny ones, people were thinking maybe a bike helmet with all of the bike lanes we have in Vancouver,” explained defenceman Dan Hamhuis.

“I think the boys take a lot of pride in that hat.” - Dale Weise

“Then we came up with the Haida Warrior hat and our connection to going up to Haida Gwaii in the fall and doing the fishing trip and spending some time in Masset with the natives there. It was a neat connection we feel, so we felt it would be appropriate.” Being presented with the hat, which is often worn in media scrums and throughout post-game activities, is not something team members say they take lightly.

“I think the boys take a lot of pride in that hat. It’s not always the guy that had the most points that night or the first star of the game, it’s a guy that does the little things and is a good team player,” explained forward Dale Weise. “It’s a big honour. For them to make that hat for us, a lot of hard work went into it. Just being up there and seeing the people and seeing the cutlure was a big honour for the boys and it is a big honour to get that hat.”

Three judges from out of town will determine who will win a $1,000 cash prize. “This is one of the Lester Centre’s major fundraisers. We use the funds to purchase technical equipment and equipment we need to put on productions,” Lorette said, adding the centre is in the process of replacing its curtains. Prince Rupert’s Got Talent will take place at the Lester Centre of the Arts on Saturday, Feb. 8 at 7 p.m. Lorette said the second annual showcase sold out so people should get tickets early.

Former Haida Gwaii resident, Vancouver entertainer and TV host Luisa Marshall and her husband Steve found themselves walking down the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, Jan. 12, meeting and having pictures with many stars. Luisa and Steve Marshall flew down to Los Angeles last Thursday to get ready for what would be an amazing journey into the world of the Golden Globe Awards weekend. The couple had only hoped to see a few stars in person, but instead they experienced meeting and having pictures with many. Saturday started off with an invite to the private CBS special party at the famous Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood. “This party was so full it was hard to get personal with celebrities” said Steve, “but it was fun just looking and bumping into them.” That was where they found themselves standing next to Aaron Paul, the star of Breaking Bad, and Matthew McConaughey. Then they moved on to the second party at the private Soho Room in West Hollywood. In the packed elevator standing next to them was Jane Seymour and Stacy Keach. Never ending trays of food and drinks were served. Stars everywhere. “I looked up and Luisa was talking to LL Cool J, so I ran over and took a picture” reports Steve. “He was super cool, then she’s with Oscar Isaac for another picture, then Jane Seymour.” Liev Schreiber and his wife Naomi Watts were standing close by. The big day, Sunday, Luisa and

Amazing. The food was great and the wine flowed.” Then off to the first of seven after parties at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

This hi new Q50 llooks k great, has a wonderful interior, power to spare and solid handling dynamics. Zack Spencer

2014 Infiniti Q50 challenges the old order Infiniti has had a bit of an identity crisis over the past year with a wholesale change in the way it names its products. Gone is the JX crossover, it’s called the QX60 now and the G 37 sedan has been replaced with the Q50 sedan. Q signifies for cars and QX for crossovers or SUVs. The outgoing G37 was already a very worthy on-road performer but a bit too simplistic in the inside. Now, Infiniti has taken things up a notch with the Q50, adding a dynamic look, sumptuous interior and class leading technology. Looks It could be argued that the current BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class are a bit conservative, while this Q50 and the major competitor, Lexus IS, are much edgier. This is especially true with the front grille. The rest of the Q50 is nicely sculpted, with flowing lines and an almost elegant rear end. Sold as a base model, sport trim, all wheel drive (AWD), premium, and even a hybrid, there is a broad market for this sedan. Starting at $37,500 and ramping up to the AWD sport model at $49,950, there is a substantial discount with the Q50 when you compare it to a similarly equipped BMW. The base model comes with 17-inch wheels but most of the higher trim levels are equipped with 19-inch wheels. The car seen here is the AWD premium model starting at $43,400. Inside The Q50 centre console is very attractive with two screens placed for radio functions and the second for the

The Lexus IS350 AWD is another premium offering from Japan, and it starts at a very competitive $44,000. As much as the Japanese automakers like to challenge the German makers, they really end up competing with each other. Yes, this is a worthy car but the one thing you cannot factor into the buying decision is the badge appeal that storied brands like Mercedes, BMW and Audi provide.

Safety Tip: When extreme winter road conditions hit, it’s a good idea to think about whether you even need to get behind the wheel. If you have the option, consider public transit or carpool with some who has a vehicle prepared for the conditions. Also consider leaving for work just a little later to allow crews to clear the roads.

Five fun coupes So, you’re not married. That’s okay! You don’t have kids? No worries. You pretty much have the pick of the litter when it comes to buying a car. Why? Because you don’t necessarily have specific requirements that need to be met when selecting a vehicle. Meaning, you don’t need to consider having a large enough backseat to Many singles I fit car seats, unless you want a big back know decide to get seat for other reasons something a little — like, you have a less “practical” in dog that weighs as much as an adult. Or the grand scheme of you don’t need four things. doors because you’re pretty much the only Alexandra Straub one going to be inside the cabin at any given time. Unless your profession requires you to haul around equipment or gear, you don’t have to buy a crossover, minivan, sedan or SUV if you don’t want to. That said, many singles I know decide to get something a little less “practical” in the grand scheme of things. Less practicality is usually spelled with five letters: coupe. So, to those individuals who are the alpha of their one-person wolf pack, here are a few coupes under $30K to consider. Honda Accord Coupe: Base MSRP $26,400

under $30,000 for the single crowd

I’m starting off with the Accord because it’s a cool car. The current generation has so much going for it and definitely has developed more personality in the redesign. You have the option of two engines: a more economical 2.4L 4-cylinder or a more powerful 3.5L V6. Either way, you can get them equipped with a 6-speed manual or a CVT transmission. Only the EX-L Navi trim with the V6 has the option of a 6-speed automatic transmission. No matter how you slice it, you’re getting a great car. Better yet, it has a decent cargo capacity of 379L so you could easily dump your hockey gear inside. The interior is spacious and comfortable and, heck, it looks good. MINI Coupe/Roadster: Base MSRP $25,950/$28,900 With room for two, even the base model of MINI Coupe or Roadster is a hoot. Specs-wise, it has the least impressive engine of the lot (only putting out 121 horsepower,) but that can be overlooked because of via driving dynamics. It has one of the best manual gearboxes for a car of its size and has an abundance of pep. They’re not cheap, though, so it has that working against it in some regards. And you could argue that a Mazda MX-5 is a better value (you won’t be wrong) but it’s still loads of fun. Dodge Challenger: Base MSRP $26,995 If you’re driving a Dodge Challenger, you’re getting noticed. You don’t even need to have the grunt and roar of the SRT’s 6.4L V8 HEMI to turn heads. Inside and out, this two-door has style and power. The base SXT trim comes equipped with a 3.6L V6 and 305 horsepower. Kia Forte Koup: Base MSRP $20,550 For just over $20K, the Kia Forte Koup is a solid value. And it’s not a bad looking car either. Inside, the interi-

or is well finished and isn’t cheap. Furthermore, you have many great standard amenities that come with the base model like 16-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, heated front seats, remote keyless entry, air conditioning and more. VW GTI: Base MSRP $29,375 The 3-door VW GTI is one of my favourite cars. The front-wheel, German engineered bundle of excitement has poise and pizzazz, along with a fabulous interior and a tried and tested engine. What’s great

about the GTI is that it works for all ages. You could be 16 and driving it, or 60, and you’d still look good. You wouldn’t look out of place and people would give you nods of approval. Granted, the current generation is on its way out and the seventh generation (2014 model year) is coming soon. So if you want a killer deal on a 2013, now’s about as good of a time as any. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Nearly new: The Chevrolet Cruze was already a winner in Europe and Asia before it cruised into Canada for the 2011 model year. Cruze continued its winning ways by adding the prestigious 2011 Canadian Car of the Year Award, presented by the Automobile Journalist’s Association of Canada (AJAC), to its trophy cabinet. The base LS edition of Cruze comes with a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine and the Eco, LT and LTZ editions come with a Ecotec 1.4-litre turbocharged-four that delivers more power at low engine speeds, yet provides similar fuel economy. The transmission choice offered was either a six-speed manual or a sixspeed automatic. Clever aero tweaks, including active front grille shutters, help the Cruze Eco slice through air on low rolling-resistance tires. Weight saving initiatives (right down to the size and location of body welds) also trim 97 kg (214 lbs.) from its total body mass. A taller sixth overdrive gear allows additional highway fuel savings and an impressive official FE rating of 7.8/5.4 L/100 km (city/ highway) with the manual transmission. Cruze has one of the roomiest cabins in the compact class. There’s

also excellent fore-aft travel on the driver’s seat plus generous head room, making is a small car for big people. Adding to driver comfort, the steering wheel has both a tilt and telescopic feature in all models. The trunk in a Cruze is also one of the largest in class and only slightly smaller than the VW Jetta. Top-notch safety features include

10 standard airbags, instead of the usual six fitted in its compact competitors. The extra occupant protection comes in the form of knee-airbags for the front passengers and side-impact airbags for the rear outboard passengers. The head curtain air bags in Cruze also provide rollover protection. A disturbingly high number of safety recalls , however, might make one wonder about overall Cruze quality and safety. Cruze continued largely unchanged for the 2012 model year, other than adding touch-screen navigation and push-button start with keyless entry systems to the list of options available. An infotainment system, with Bluetooth streaming audio, was made standard on all but the base LS model, in 2013. A blind spot warning system was also a new optional safety feature. Consumer Reports list the Cruze as a “Recommended” vehicle buy and show it as having an average repair history. It’s currently the best selling compact car in Canada made by a domestic auto maker.

have been more boars than cars on the route for long stretches. It was a lonely daytime drive in the S6 with very few cars passing in either direction. In terms of scenic interest, it is as disappointing as a mild chili pepper in a bowl of Tex-Mex. It’s not that the tolls are high on the 65-kilometre stretch I travelled on the 210-kilometre route – less than $10, under $30 for commercial trucks. It’s just that the 85 mph limit is just not fast enough to encourage people to use it for what is a fairly short distance between those two major centres. And that’s especially so when the posted speed limit on the regular toll-free state highways was raised to 75 mph (120 km/h) shortly after the turnpike was opened. The main section is also well to the east of Austin so there was a trek before I could unleash the horses under the hood. It would help to hike the limit another 10 mph (16 km/h): It’s a very well-engineered road and I can’t see that causing carnage. At the risk of attracting the interest of a Texan posse bent on a hanging, I might suggest that a reduction of the limit in the same magnitude on the regular highways might dramatically increase custom along the way. The only positive I can say is that I maintained the top legal speed for the length of the trip which, as I reported last week, was impossible on the congested no-speed limit autobahn between Munich and Berlin. The growing network of toll roads in central Texas may have the highest speed limits in the nation, but unless they ultimately stretch to Houston and/or Corpus Christi on the Gulf coast, it’s hard to imagine the operators emerging from the billion-dollar financial quagmire.

export to the U.S. in the 1970s. 2. The original Beetle was the brainchild of Adolf Hitler. Keen to put ordinary Germans on the newly constructed autobahn superhighways in their own cars, a subsidized savings plan involving a coupon booklet was devised. When a family filled their booklet, they were supposed to get their car. WWII intervened and all pre-war Beetle deliveries were limited to Nazi party officials. Private owners didn’t get their hands on a Beetle until after the war. 3. Germans don’t remember it as fondly as we do because of its connection with the dictator who brought ruin to their country. And it serves as a reminder of the lean times before the West German economic miracle took hold meaning post-war Germans don’t have the same warm and fuzzy feelings

The Department of Transportation has ended a rebate that had allowed trucks to use the road for the same price as cars since last April. That disincentive is likely to increase the red ink.

Some secrets you may not know By Rob Sass The original air-cooled VW Beetle lasted an incredible 58 years in production, during which time it was fundamentally unchanged. It’s a record that will likely never be approached, let alone broken. Although nearly everyone of a certain age has at least one Beetle story or fond memory, there are a few things still not generally known about the beloved car. Here are five noteworthy facts: 1. The original classic Beetle didn’t leave production until 2003, although it was last sold in North America in 1979 (by which time the water-cooled Rabbit had replaced it), the original air-cooled Beetle was produced in Puebla, Mexico, until 2003. It’s essentially identical to the cars produced in Germany for

Road hogs cause motoring mayhem Austin, Texas: Road hogs are a common sight at dusk here on the so-called Texas autobahn. I’m not talking about those crazy drivers transported by four-wheeled vehicles, but those of the four-legged variety – boars! And just like the two-legged, lead-footed variety, the cloven-hoofed wild pigs cause crashes – four bad smashes on the first night that the high-speed State Highway 130 toll road opened back in October 2012.

about the Beetle that American ex-hippies do. 4. The Beetle may have been inexpensive, but it was never cheap. Gaps were tight and doors sealed well. Additionally, it was a unibody car with a very flat floor with few openings. All of this meant that the car would actually float for at least several minutes after hitting the water before turning into a small sub! 5. The Beetle was the subject of one of the most influential ad campaigns of the 20th century. Most recently lampooned on the TV show “Mad Men,” it was among the first national campaigns to utilize irony and self-deprecating wit. A tiny black-andwhite photo of a Beetle in a sea of white space with only the headline “Think Small” was the first of the ads introduced in 1959 by the agency Doyle Dane
