Prince Rupert teachers may not have been participating in rotating strikes on June 4, but there was a picket line of sorts in front of Charles Hays Secondary School throughout the morning. Students at the school joined thousands of others across the province for a walkout to raise awareness of the impacts the ongoing labour dispute between the B.C. teacher’s Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association is having on them and the future of their education. The students, - Victoria Barker brandishing handmade signs that included slogans such as ‘Strike + Lockout = Walkout”, “Education is NOT a Business” and “We’re making a point”, gathered along Prince Rupert Boulevard beginning at 9 a.m. and, much like their teacher counterparts, elicited honks of support from passing motorists.

Nav Canada pulls flight service station from Rupert BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

As of July 24, it will be up to the pilots of the North Coast to manage air traffic in and out of Prince Rupert. Nav Canada will be shutting down its flight service station, which currently sees a staff of three provide pilots with information on everything from weather to air traffic and helps with safely landing or taking off from uncontrolled airports. According to Nav Canada spokesperson Ron Singer, the decision comes down to a matter of numbers. “There are many, many airports that don’t have Nav Canada service. It’s related to traffic ... we did an aviation study, including traffic patterns, and decided the appropriate level of service and there is not the justification for that station to

“Now there won’t be any information coming to pilots.” - Ken Cote remain open,” he said, noting pilots will now communicate with each other through mandatory frequency monitoring. “A full safety analysis was done. This type of flight management, mandatory frequency, is something that is in place at hundreds of airports across the country, many with larger traffic volumes than Prince Rupert.” While Singer said the three staff currently in place will be relocated within Nav Canada, Ken Cote of Ocean Pacific Air Services said the closure `of the flight service station is a “big loss”

for Prince Rupert. “They filled a vital role ... their main job was to give information on the location of other planes coming in because seaplanes all congregate at one point in Seal Cove. Now there won’t be any information coming to the pilots,” he said. “This float plane base is busy with planes coming and going throughout the day, every day.” While she said commercial planes landing at the airport have more advanced instrumentation for monitoring air traffic, Prince Rupert Airport Authority chair Maureen Macarenko agreed the shutdown is a loss for the community. “This has been threatened for the past few years ... along with the community, the chamber and with everyone we have tried to mitigate it,” she said, noting Nav Canada staff had previously numbered six.

Province pledges no impact on exams STRIKE from Page A1 More than 13,500 students across the province had voiced their plan to attend through the BC Student Walkout Facebook group. “The students in British Columbia have been put in the middle of the labour dispute between the BCTF and the government for our entire schooling. For some of us, that means our entire 13 years of education,” read a statement by organizers Victoria Barker and Mackenzie Timko. “The two sides are like parents who are divorcing and have stuck their children in the middle for the last 13 years. Each side claims to be ‘fighting for the students’ yet each side fails to show how they are doing so.” The walkout was planned during the only day last week the BCTF had no rotating strike action planned, with teachers in Prince Rupert scheduled to return to the picket line today. The student walkout, however, was just one piece of the an escalation in the labour dispute between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association experienced last week. On the same day as students walked out of class, the B.C. Labour Relations Board upheld the 10 per cent reduction in teacher salary resulting from prior job action. B.C. Teachers’ Federation

Shaun Thomas / The Northern View

Students from Charles Hays Secondary form a picket line on Wednesday to protest the ongoing labour dispute.

president Jim Iker said the pay cut and partial lockout of members is “a punitive action” that is unfair to teachers performing their essential classroom duties. In response, members of the BCTF were voting on Monday and Tuesday whether or not to proceed to a full-scale strike that could lead to schools closing as early as this coming Monday. Despite word of a potential strike, B.C. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said final exams and report cards would be marked and prepared. Fassbender said the logistics of delivering and marking tests in a strike have not yet been worked out, but he committed the government to make

sure they are completed. To that end, the province filed an application with the Labour Relations Board to have completion of secondary school exams and report cards declared an essential service. The application to extend essential services and avoid “serious and immediate damage” to students was filed Friday with the Labour Relations Board by the B.C. Public School Employers Association. “Depriving Grade 12 students of post-secondary opportunities which may not be replaceable would clearly threaten the welfare of these students,” said the statement.

Lack of maintenance depriving children of play BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A Prince Rupert homeowner is fed up with what she considers to be a lack of property maintenance by BC Housing and the City of Prince Rupert. Diane Green said the grass on BC Housing’s Kootenay Avenue and McKay Street properties has grown wild, with other site maintenance also lacking. She said before the M’akola Housing Society becoming property managers, the grass had been maintained. “For the little toddlers, the grass is up to their butts. They can’t even walk in it,” Green said. “The problem is that there are young families living there, most of them single parents with kids, and they’ve got no place to play.” Green said BC Housing’s lack of maintenance isn’t the city’s fault, but said it could be enforcing bylaws. She said the city is also contributing to the problem by not maintaining its baseball field on Kootenay and McKay, which has tall grass, small shrubs and trees growing within it. Green said she watched a group of five children playing scrub baseball

in the field, with the younger kids catching the ball and hiding in the trees with it. There is nothing for children between the ages of eight and 12 to do outside on their own, she said. In addition to lawn maintenance, Green said gravel used in parking lots over the winter hasn’t been cleaned up this year, with Green noting it was sad to see how one family got rid of the mess. “For weekend recreation with her children, a mother had them with little plastic pails and shovels and while she was hosing the parking lot, the kids were scooping it up. If you walk past it, it’s the only clean driveway in the whole BC Housing complex,” she said. “We are trying to attract the families that go with growth. That is just not going to happen, ... businesses have come to town and promised the city they would put in parks which never materialized. Couldn’t they clean up and sponsor a park that already exists?” said Green. Both the City of Prince Rupert and BC housing did not immediately return request for comment from the Northern View.

Enbridge decision time nears

y the time you read this, Prime Minister Stephen Harper may or may not have rendered a decision on the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project. As of today, the countdown for the deadline on a decision from cabinet rests at eight days. While many on the North Coast consider the decision to approve the twin bitumen and oil pipelines a foregone conclusion, it’s interesting to see that other pundits across the country don’t necessarily share that certainty. There are some who agree, citing national interest, that the pipeline will be green lit. Some even point to the rejection of the Prosperity Mine near Williams Lake as proof of what is to come — they say rejecting that Shaun Thomas mine is something the Conservatives can turn to as proof they do take the environment into account. There are others, however, who think the braintrust in Cabinet are looking at a bigger picture when it comes to the political land mine that is the Enbridge Northern Gateway. Approving the project would bring about certain doom for the party in British Columbia, while rejecting it would downplay a lot of the criticism other parties could hurl at them leading into the 2015 election. It would, of course, tick off a lot of people in Alberta, but that province is a bit of a Conservative stronghold. Really, do you see Alberta being swept up by an orange wave like that seen in Quebec any time soon? Still others feel the Conservatives will reject the project and recommend they look further up the coast to the area around Prince Rupert. Doing so would show the party still supports the project, but is listening to concerns about the Douglas Channel. A terminal somewhere on crown land near Grassy Point would eliminate any concerns about navigating the confined Douglas Channel or making any turns to reach the open water. Regardless of what the government’s decision is, don’t expect it to be the end of the Enbridge story. As long as the project is on the table, opponents won’t be holding their tongues.

Photo courtesy Prince Rupert Port Authority CULTIVATING GROWTH: Specialty crops from North American farms fill an increasing number of export containers moved through Fairview Terminal. Agri-food products like soybeans, split peas, and hay are in demand by Asian markets.

Teacher calls pay cut unfair Crops in containers a Editor: I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with the recent Labour Relations Board ruling condoning the government’s 10 per cent pay cut for teachers. People don’t seem to understand that the 10 per cent pay cut doesn’t apply only to strike days - it applies to days when we are working as well. In essence, the government is punishing teachers for the mere thought of striking, rather like a futuristic authoritarian regime that punishes people for crimes they might potentially commit in the future. I am a music teacher and regularly perform concerts with my choir and bands - usually at least one per month and often two. These concerts involve transporting 150 music students and all of their ancillary equipment to wherever we are performing, setting it up, doing the show and transporting them all back. When my concerts are during the school day, they are actually more work because I have to plan for classes left behind. When they are at night, I miss time with my own family. Concerts are not part of my job per se, but I do them because music is a performing art and I believe that my students need to have the experience of sharing their music with others. After organizing and performing several concerts with my groups in May, in addition to a full teaching load, I was rewarded for my efforts with a $300 pay cut by my employer, the government. I do not make $300 a day ... I was penalized 10 per cent for every day of rotating strikes in the province, even the days that I worked. For a teacher with a young family, $300 is a lot of money to lose and I stand to lose more if the labour action continues. I believe that such a penalty is undemocratic, and illegal, regardless of what the LRB has to say about it. It is an absolute distortion of the law. Nurses, sanitation workers, police and various other unionized groups have never been penalized in such a manner. What makes teachers deserving

“I should be paid 10 per cent back for the past 15 years of after-school and lunchtime teaching.” - Michael Mikulin of such persecution? The government’s argument is that since they have locked me out, I am not performing some of my duties and should be penalized for work I am not doing. What work is it exactly that I am not doing anyway, since my after school and nighttime work was volunteering? By their own argument, the government is assigning a monetary value to the work I previously did of my own free will, and I should not only not be penalized - I should be paid 10 per cent back pay for the past 15 years of after-school and lunch-time teaching which I apparently did for free when I should have been getting paid for it! Getting the merits of my work done freely from the heart judged by a bunch of lawyers who bill by the hour is really more than I can stomach. It’s quite sickening, to be blunt. I’m sure that most teachers feel exactly the same. I didn’t get into this profession for the money, but no one likes to see their work de-valued. This government has a lot to answer for - they have repeatedly flouted the law and gotten away with it and the public’s lack of concern about their abuse of power has emboldened them. As a teacher, I find that repugnant. It bothers me to think that the people I live with condone such a government. It bothers me that my government is a schoolyard bully. You should be out there in the streets, like I am, calling them on it. Michael Mikulin Richmond

Restore last BCTF contract Editor: I’m writing in regards to the tiring and disappointing strike that is plaguing our schools. I am not choosing sides, nor will I because I believe both sides have a great deal of maturing to do. However, I recently heard some information that discouraged me. I was informed that the government reneged on the last contract that was signed. The teachers’ union have taken the

government to the Supreme Court twice and have won both times, yet the government has still not complied. My compromise would be for the government to give back to the teachers what was legally agreed upon in the last contract, and then see if the union steps up to do their share in getting this resolved.

new strength for port

RE:PORT

ach year since Fairview Container Terminal began operations, the number of containers exported to Asia through the Port of Prince Rupert has grown significantly. This achievement was made possible in large part by the recovery of the Canadian forest products market, as China increased demand for BC lumber to support urbanization and its growing middle class. Today, nearly 40% of all laden export containers through Fairview are stuffed with lumber and wood products from sawmills across northern BC, making it our primary container export. While export volumes of forest products continue to grow, the commodity experiencing the greatest growth through Fairview Container Terminal is now agricultural products. In 2013, containerized agriculture and food products made up 24% of total exports, a significant increase from 2012 when they comprised 14%, and a big jump from 2011 when they were only 8% of total export volumes. Unlike the big three bulk agri-food products (wheat, canola and barley) moved through the Prince Rupert Grain Terminal, these agricultural products are known as “specialty crops.” Specialty crops exported through the Port of Prince Rupert consist largely of dried distiller grains, used as high protein livestock feed, as well as products like soybeans, split peas, mustard seed, flax seed and hay. Why do shippers choose to move agricultural products by container when export terminals like Prince Rupert Grain are able to efficiently load large bulk carrier vessels from rail cars? The short answer is that chartering big bulk ships is the economical way to move the huge volumes of agri-foods like wheat, canola and barley being grown in North America and shipped to markets across the world. Specialty crops are not grown in such quantities, and therefore don’t justify the use of an entire vessel, or even one of the holds on a typical bulk carrier. The smaller production levels of these specialty crops by Canadian and American farmers make them a great fit for containerization. While the per-tonne cost of shipping is greater for containers than it is for dry bulk, given the limited supply of most specialty crops, the price they fetch in overseas markets warrants their containerized trade. Shippers also have greater flexibility in the movement by container, both domestically from farm to port, and abroad from foreign port to the end user. Other benefits of shipping agri-food by container include improved food safety and quality assurance, and the creation of fieldto-table supply chains being sought by global customers. The containerized export of agri-food through Fairview Container Terminal presents great opportunities for North American farmers to capitalize on smaller volume, high-value specialty crops. The share of these exports through the Port of Prince Rupert is poised for even greater growth with the creation of a new inland container terminal in Grande Prairie, Alberta, which will provide container loading and transloading services and a direct connection to Fairview Container Terminal via CN Rail.

A warning of LNG impact Speakers talk risk to estuary, environment BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A Northeastern B.C. First Nation leader and North Coast scientist warned Prince Rupert residents that all the interest to develop in the region could destroy the environment beyond repair. The Prince Rupert Environmental Society hosted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fracking Our Futureâ&#x20AC;?, with Chief Liz Logan of the Treaty 8 Nation speaking to a packed room in the Multi-Purpose Room at Northwest Community College. Logan lives in Fort Nelson, part of the Treaty 8 Nations. During the event, Logan spoke about challenges, impacts, problems and changes to the landscape caused by numerous developments in her area. Treaty 8 territory is ripe with industry including agriculture, mining and forestry, as well as oil and gas extraction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A once pristine area has become an industrial landscape,â&#x20AC;? said Logan. Logan warned of issues her nation has had to deal with because of industry development, such as an influx of transient workers putting pressure on community services, including a shortage of doctors and increases in drug and alcohol usage in communities. Logan also said fracking involved in the natural gas industry within the territory have made a significant number of animals sick, and that air emissions are a concern. Logan said the pace of industry activity is worrisome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conservation, protection, sustainability. Those are words that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever hear the government say. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not in their language,â&#x20AC;? said Logan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just want to get in and get rich right now and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the heck with tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Our people are always taught if you do something today, you think seven generations down the road.â&#x20AC;? The event started with speaker Dr. Barb Faggetter, a registered professional biologist

with a Bachelor of Science in chemistry/ biochemistry and a PhD in biological and chemical oceanography. Faggetter spoke about the findings of her most recent report looking at LNG in the Skeena River estuary and how it could be a risk to salmon, reported on in the May 14 issue of the Northern View. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the region thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 377 million juvenile salmon, on average, in a year. Of that, 376 million or something over 99 per cent come from the Skeena River,â&#x20AC;? said Faggetter, adding most of these have to go through the Skeena estuary system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of habitat out there for many species ... of fish, birds and marine mammals. It is a very extensive list, and healthy ecosystem at the moment.â&#x20AC;? According to Faggetter, a significant portion of the shoreline around the estuary would be impacted by a number of proposed developments in the area. She said three proposed projects require dredging in the area that would mix up dioxins and freons caused from effluent fluids at the former pulp mill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would have contaminated sediment getting stirred up and it would have to be disposed of somewhere,â&#x20AC;?

Spectra’s pipe Port tonnage down 8 per cent in 2014 through a park BY MARTINA PERRY

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

TransCanada isn’t the only pipeline company considering a route through the Nisga’a Lava Bed Memorial Park as one way of getting natural gas from northeastern B.C. to a planned liquefied natural gas plant near Prince Rupert. But Spectra Energy, which would build a 48inch pipeline called the Westcoast Connector for the planned Prince Rupert LNG project owned by the BG Group, would mostly skirt the southern edge of the Class A park and go through the park for 1,200 metres beginning at a narrow point near the Highway 113 entry to the park, says company lands and environment manager Ken Berry. And unlike the TransCanada plan which calls for digging a trench, placing in the pipe and then burying it, Spectra Energy would use horizontal drilling technology, leaving the surface undisturbed. Spectra construction manager Drum Cavers, speaking at an information open house June 4, said the Nisga’a Lisims Government has expressed a desire that a route along Highway 113 leading westward be considered, but that the company prefers the southern route. “Right now what we have filed we come across the narrowest portion,” said Cavers. Spectra’s right-of-way would then parallel the highway along with the TransCanada pipeline through the park.

Prince Rupert terminals experienced both increases and decreases in cargo volumes in May, which translated into an overall drop in tonnage. The Port of Prince Rupert’s monthly stats show nearly 12 per cent fewer tonnes were handled in Prince Rupert terminals last month compared to May 2013, and a dip of about 8.5 per cent in tonnage during the first five months of 2014 when stacked up against the same time span in 2013. Fairview Terminal saw a 25 per cent rise in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) passing through last month, totalling 51,416 TEUs in contrast to 41,249.25 in May 2013. At the end of May, an increase of just under 3.8 per cent was recorded for the number of TEUs moved through Fairview, with May’s year-to-date total being 228,227.5 TEUs compared to 219,941 in 2013. Imports were up by nearly 24 per cent last month as 29,475 TEUs were imported last month in contrast to 23,819.25 in May 2013. Year-over-year there have been an 11.6 per cent increase, with 135,595.25 TEUs coming through Fairview by the end of last month and 121,475.75 in 2013. Exports were up by nearly 26 per cent this May, with 21,941 TEUs going

out of Prince Rupert up from 17,430 in May 2013. Of that, there were 14,131.25 loaded TEUs and 7,809.75 empty TEUs. Year-over-year there has been close to six per cent fewer TEUs exported from Fairview, with 92,632.25 TEUs leaving in the first five months of 2014 and 98,465.25 in 2013. Last month saw a steep drop in tonnage from the harbour, with no logs being handled at the operation. Slightly under 89,648 tonnes of logs went through the operation in May 2013. While the the operation didn’t move any logs last month, it did move 1,105.35 tonnes of steel pipe. As of May 31, 155,542.4 tonnes of cargo was handled through the harbour in 2014, which is down nine per cent from the 170,448.7 tonnes handled in the same amount of time in 2013. Cargo volumes at Ridley Terminal also declined by 40.35 per cent. Last

month 830,659 tonnes were moved at the coal export facility, down from 1,392,517 tonnes in May 2013. In 2014’s first five months, 3,742,420 tonnes were moved, just over 27 per cent lower than the 5,143,453 tonnes handled by May 2013’s end. Prince Rupert Grain experienced a 47.5 per cent climb in cargo last month, up from May 2013’s tonnage of 463,131 to slightly over 683,164. Just under 2,763,944 tonnes went through the terminal year to date, a 12.6 per cent hike from 2,454,298.6 tonnes by the end of May 2013. Westview Terminal saw 51,143 tonnes of wood pellet going through the operation last month, which brought the year to date total to 183,040 tonnes. All together, approximately 2,080,231.5 tonnes of cargo were handled by terminals last month, equating to 9,130,333 tonnes year-to-date.

Heart of our City

Cancer fighter moving on Judy Rea reflects on four decades BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

After four decades living on the North Coast, Prince Rupert’s Judy Rea has decided it is time to say farewell. Over the years, Judy has helped out whenever she could, earning a reputation as a compassionate and dedicated individual. The absence of the longtime nurse, cancer fighter, health advocate, church choralist/ organist and volunteer will be felt by many in Prince Rupert. While Judy has loved her life on the North coast, she will be moving to Invermere in the coming weeks to be closer to family. Her husband, Bob, passed away a number of years ago, with the pair’s two children no longer living in the community. The move is bittersweet for Judy, who has adored her time in Prince Rupert but is looking forward to spending more time with her three grandchildren. “I’ve been through all of life here, but there’s another part of life to come,” she said. Judy was born and raised in Manitoba, where she trained to become a nurse. When her training was complete, Judy moved to British Columbia after landing a job in Bella Bella at the United Church Hospital. “It was a 10-bed hospital, so you did everything,” she remembered. As part of the job, Judy and other hospital employees would travel around the area providing medical service in remote communities. “We would fly into Rivers Inlet, Klemtu and a couple other places to hold clinics because they didn’t have doctors,” Judy said. In 1974, after meeting her future husband, Judy moved to the North Coast with Bob, who had gotten a job with B.C. Packers in Port Edward. The couple lived in cannery housing at first, but soon after decided to build a boat and live on it. For a few years they called the 40-foot motorboat their home, up until Judy became pregnant. “Living on the boat was very different for me, coming from a farm,” she said. “It was fun. You can just untie the lines and take your holiday.” Judy continued her career as a nurse in Prince Rupert, first working at the old Green Clinic assisting the doctors. Judy looks back fondly on her time there, remembering Dr. Green’s endearing quirks. “He was gruff, but he had a heart of gold,” she said.

Judy Rea will be trading her waterfront view for life with family in Invermere.

In 1984 Judy started a full-time position in Prince Rupert’s hospital, working in maternity and administration for the first half of her 30 year-employment there. But after being diagnosed with melanoma in 1998, a passion to help fight cancer ignited in Judy. Following the surgical removal of the melanoma, Judy took on a new position as an oncologist at the hospital. “The last 16 years in oncology has been the best job, but the hardest. You get to help people at a time when they’re devastated and learn a whole lot from them. You get as much as you give,” she said, adding being an oncologist has taught her the importance of living life to the fullest each day. She also liked being able to work oneon-one with patients and getting close with them and their families. It was around this time that Judy began hosting sessions on cancer prevention and the importance of screening to raise awareness in the community, eventually becoming the BC Cancer Agency cancer prevention coordinator in Prince Rupert. For a number of years she organized annual PSA and colorectal screening clinics, and facilitated a prostate cancer support group. Her involvement didn’t end there. Judy helped raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society by organizing the Daffodil Campaign in the community for more than 10 years and was a recurring participant in

“I’ve been through all of life here, but there’s another part of life to come.” - Judy Rea the society’s annual Relay for Life event in Prince Rupert. Money collected from the campaign and relay goes to cancer research, advocacy, prevention, information and support. “Cancer is such a devastating disease. We know now that there are things we can do to improve our health, and if we’re going to get cancer to get it detected early and treated properly. Before nobody figured there was a way to prevent it, but with all the research we have come a long way,” Judy said. “When I started 16 years ago, there was very little for palliative (care) ... that has developed a lot. We can now help palliative patients with a better quality, and maybe a bit of a longer life.” To support female cancer survivors in Prince Rupert, Judy and a few others formed the Rainbow Warriors Dragon Boat team. “We had a core group of breast cancer survivors that I felt would really benefit from the exercise and comradeship,” she explained. After approaching Joan Patriquin to be the coach, the team started to blossom

with female cancer survivors and their supporters coming together each week. The team stuck together for a number of years, with men eventually joining the Rainbow Warriors too. Judy loved being able to get on the water and exercise, while observing the beauty of the ocean and seeing marine and wildlife up close. She also treasured the sensation while working as a team gave her rowing the dragon boat. “When you’re pulling together and it’s going smooth ... it’s a really good feeling,” she said. When asked what she would miss most about Prince Rupert, Judy pointed out the window of her Atlin Avenue home to the stunning harbour view and laughed. But she said it will be even harder to part with all the friendly, supportive people of Prince Rupert, making special note of the members of the church she’s attended for 40 years, who she considers family. Still, Judy is looking forward to the next chapter of her life. “It’s been a great 40 years, but I’m excited to move and get closer to family and start something new.”

Touchet, Rosario win Ladies Jubilee BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Jackie Touchet had been back in town three years before she decided to pick up a club and play some competitive golf after graduating university in 2003, and it looks like the time was well spent. Touchet won the Prince Rupert Golf Club’s Ladies Jubilee last weekend, shooting 167 for the best overall low gross score. “2002 might have been the last year I competed (in the tourney). Three years ago I moved back to town, but I have two little kids so I haven’t really played golf in the last couple years,” she said after winning on Sunday. Touchet had a tremendous back nine on the first day, shooting a collective 39 on the nine holes. Then on day two, her front nine was her dagger as she shot 40 out. The Rupertite was incredibly consistent too, as one shot separated her final scores from Saturday and Sunday. She shot 83 and 84 respectively. “I just had nice, consistent shots. I didn’t get into too much trouble and I’m happy

for the lack of how much I play, I’m happy with the scores,” she said. “My long game was the better part of my game this weekend, definitely. Putting was not my strength.” Along with organizing the tournament, Cynthia Rosario took home some hardware as well. Rosario won the overall low net component for her third time. “I parred number two yesterday, and number nine and the rest were pars, bogeys and double bogeys. The only trouble I had yesterday was number one. My third approach to the green went in the creek so I thought [that was it]. I was hoping I could pull it out, I still had 17 holes to go,” said Rosario. The organizer shot a 177, and her handicap of 18 each day got her to 141. She was incredibly consistent on Saturday, shooting 44 on the both the front and back nine. Rosario previously won in 2006 and 2012. “I’m just happy we were out there and Jackie was so good, I haven’t played with Jackie in my life so just watching her hit the ball, it was awesome,” she said. “Now, in the Northwest, it’s the only

tournament where you just play your own ball and it’s low gross and low net. All the other tournaments around, like Terrace, Kitimat and Smithers have now gone to a format encouraging beginner ladies, which is excellent because we need more golfers

out there, but I think with this tournament, it’s good because it still has the true essence of competition,” said Touchet. The Men’s Jubilee is scheduled for this weekend from Friday to Sunday at the golf course.

Farewells highlight Rapids’ year-ending win BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The last regional swim meet of the year brought more than winners and personal bests – it also included a few tears. Graduating Prince Rupert Amateur Swim Club (PRASC) member Sarah McChesney (17) won female Points North Swimmer of the Year, as voted on by regional coaches, a fitting last farewell to her comrades in the pool. “Thank you, all of you, for everything you’ve ever done,” she told the crowd surrounding the podium at the conclusion of the Prince Rupert Summer Invitational. As for the rest of her team, the Rapids held down home-turf advantage and won the meet with 967 points, 105 more than the second-place Kitimat Marlins. Along with swimmer of the year, McChesney took home gold aggregate for 14 and over girls, winning first in 50, 200, 400 and 1,500 freestyle and 200 backstroke. Brandan Hagen (16) claimed the 14 and over boys’ gold aggregate, winning the 50,

200 and 400 freestyle and the 100 and 200 breaststroke races. The Rapids took a third gold aggregate when Kai Leighton (11) won the 11-andunder boys’ category, and he raced to a first-place finish in 100 and 200 backstroke, 50 and 200 freestyle and 200 breaststroke. The Rapids’ fourth and final gold medal was awarded to Amy Leighton (13) in the girls’ 12-13 division. She won the 400 IM, 400 freestyle, 100 and 200 butterfly, 100 and 200 backstroke and 100 breaststroke. And PRASC wasn’t satisfied with four golds. The Rapids took home two silver medals; one to Emma Movold (10) and the other to Isaac Mastroianni (10) in the girls’ and boys’ 11-and-under categories. Movold won the 400 and 800 freestyle race, the 200 freestyle, 200 backstroke, second in the 100 butterfly and third in 100 breaststroke. Mastroianni captured first in 800 freestyle, 100 butterfly, 400 freestyle and second in 100 and 200 backstroke and 50 freestyle. And an amazing three bronze medals were awarded to PRASC members as

Rya Kish (11), Isaac Dolan (10) and Zach Dolan (12) took home the hardware. Kish won first in 100 IM, 100 backstroke and 100 breaststroke and third in 50 freestyle and 200 backstroke. Isaac garnered second in 100 breaststroke and 200 freestyle and third in 100 and 200 backstroke and 200 breaststroke. Finally, Zach won 1,500 freestyle, 200 breaststroke, second in 200 butterfly and 200 backstroke and third in 100 backstroke and 400 freestyle.

Emily Urbanowski (15) claimed first in 100 IM, 50 butterfly and 50 backstroke. Hannah Toye (12) won second in 50 breaststroke and third in 50 and 800 freestyle, and Jarred McMeekin (12) scored second in 800 freestyle and third in 100 breaststroke. Warren Barton (12) took second in 100 butterfly and third in 800 freestyle. Avery Movold (14) won second in 1500 freestyle

and 200 butterfly, and Robert Warren (14) won first-place in 1500 freestyle and second in 200 backstroke.

Sweden calls Larsson home Exchange student scores twice in play-match BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The match was over before it even began, but the teens played it anyway last Thursday night. Due to a deficiency of players on Ridley Terminals, the side had to forfeit the match against NSK Contracting in their first game of the playoffs for the Prince Rupert Youth Soccer (PRYS) under-19 league. “The teams must have seven players to play because if it’s not enough players they lose by default,” said the match’s referee Lucio Daniele. Ridley had assembled six players at game-time, and their seventh came 10 minutes into the play-match. Four players from NSK suited up for Ridley, taking a few positions including starting goalkeeper. Despite their team’s automatic loss, the side came back. With the help of their former foes; now brethren, they defeated the strong team in green, 4-1, which had lost very few matches during the regular season. NSK had 14 players show up out of 17, compared to Ridley’s six. As a result of the loss, Ridley dropped to 0-1. They’ll have two more chances to add to their win column in the round robin, but it’s a disappointing way to start the post-season. And according to the team, it had been a repeating occurrence all season. Among the troops that did suit up for

the team in crimson, Lars Larsson (18), an exchange student from Sweden since last August, led the loyal few into the fray. He scored two goals, and wouldn’t miss a soccer match if it was raining sideways. “I’ve played with all kinds of teams [since moving here]. I’ve played with the rep teams, I’ve played with this team and I’ve played school soccer (for Charles Hays) and for the men’s team (PRFC),” he said. “We play a lot more soccer in Sweden than you do here. We play all yearround, it never stops.” Larsson, a Grade 11 student but a graduate in Sweden, is returning late in June, and he chose Canada after some deliberation. “Well, I looked from different countries, like I was thinking USA, Canada or Australia. Those three were the main ones. Canada looked fun, I was thinking of all the fun outdoor stuff you could do here like hiking and skiing and that sort of thing,” he said. Larsson mentioned he’d been to Shames Mountain and Smithers to ski and snowboard “10 or 20 times” since he’s been here and he’s been living with Allison and Sam Brunelle in town. “I have a lot of memories, this is hard,” Larsson said, trying to recall his best one. “Maybe something sportsrelated. Going to Gitsegukla with the (tournament-winning) men’s soccer team there, that was so much fun.”

Lars Larsson, left, will return to his home in Sweden later this month after spending his graduating year at Charles Hays Secondary School in 2013-14.

As for the World Cup, Larsson’s beloved Swedish national team won’t be in the championship. “Unfortunately, we lost against Portugal in the playoffs [getting there],” he said. So it’s France or bust.

“My favourite player is actually a French goalkeeper that played; he quit after the World Cup in 2006. Fabien Barthez. There was a lot of talk about him in the first World Cup I ever saw, and that’s what made me like him and the team,” said Larsson.

On Wednesday, May 7th, helping children was on the menu.

Prolific scorer makes Summer Games team

Puneet Gill will represent the region in the B.C. Summer Games.

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Indo Canadian Sikh Associationsponsored team in Prince Rupert Youth Soccer’s (PRYS) girls’ under-12 division receives a lot of goal support. Namely from Puneet Gill. “I get two or three a game,” she said bashfully when asked last week. Not surprisingly, Gill’s team has been on a tear as of late, going undefeated in the last few weeks, and their leading scorer has just earned her way onto another team this summer. Gill, the PRYS coach’s niece, was the only Prince Rupert athlete to make the under-12 girls’ soccer team for the upcoming B.C. Summer Games. She joins another lone representative from Kitimat on a team full of Terrace natives. “Meeting all the different girls [was my favourite part of the tryout weekend],” she said. “They were really nice to me. I made lots of new friends.” She’ll earn tallies on the Nanaimo scoresheet too if she keeps her torrid scoring pace up.

Gill plays forward on her minor league team and, for the games, she’ll play the same, or try out centre-midfield; a pivotal position that functions as the central passing teammate to serve as an outlet for her wings. She’ll also pressure opposing ball-carriers with the position’s defensive responsibility. Any plans for spare time off the field in Nanaimo? “Shopping,” said Gill without pause. All PRYS coaches received information for the tryout and they in turn passed it on to their players’ parents. As for the red-hot green squad Gill already plays for, the team has quickly come from a random collection of misfits to a functioning, singular, imposing force on the pitch. “At first they had no [knowledge of] passing or patience, but with time they started passing and playing with patience so it’s going really well right now,” said Indo Canadian coach Gurvinder Randhawa. “[The games team is] hard, very tough to make,” he added. “Nope, [I’ve never been to Nanaimo]. It’s going to be fun,” said Gill.

A stumbling start didn’t prevent Randy Cunningham from having a blast at the Fifth Annual Peel Out Mountain Bike Festival at Williams Lake earlier in May. After the bike’s chain accidentally dropped five seconds into the race, Cunningham quickly rectified the malfunction and got back to riding. He finished 21st out of 23 riders as the lone Prince Rupert representative in the invitational. “I lost about 25 seconds. I was about 48 seconds behind the fastest guy,” said Cunningham last week. The area rider and director of the Prince Rupert Off-Road Cycling Club (ROCC) visited Williams Lake as part of a contingent of top riders from across the region, including the likes of Nelson’s Kurt Sorge (at last year’s race), considered one of the best mountain bikers in the world by many, as well as Williams Lake native James Doerfling. “We’re talking big industry riders,” said Cunningham. Not everyone suited up to race however, a detail that had trail builders disappointed. “Half the category of elite men (out of elite men’s, junior men’s and open women’s) dropped out because of the [rainy] conditions ... people basically showed up, they looked at the course conditions and they said ‘No, I’m not racing down there’ and I don’t blame them. But I went 1,000 kilometres to race and slippery conditions is something Prince Rupert bikers are used to,” said Cunningham. Another race was cancelled due to the land residing on part of the course being sold to new owners. Despite the roadblocks to the festival, the close-knit group of bikers had a grand time. “It’s a bunch of industry folk hanging out, having a campfire in the rain. We got to do some lake jumping and it was fabulous. It’s a great experience because you’re out of town and you get to experience something totally out there,” he added. A highlight of the festival was the free run, a race typically outlawed due to its unpredictable and dangerous nature. There’s no trails. You just find a path and hope it stays true the rest of the way down the mountain.

Annunciation Knights victorious in Prince George Squad takes first place in 20-team tournament BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

If a Prince Rupert – Terrace rivalry exists, it’s well-engrained in the youth of the coastal city and there’s no distance they’ll travel too far to prove it. The Annunciation Knights’ two soccer teams made up of Grade 6 and 7 students hit the road for 10 hours to end up in Prince George to be part of the four-yearold Terry Wilson Memorial Tournament for the very first time. Not only did they finish higher than Terrace, but they won the whole darn thing. The tournament is named after a Prince George elementary school principal who died of brain cancer in 2010 at 47 and it hosts independent Catholic Schools’ co-ed teams from areas around northern B.C. “They (Terrace’s Veritas Catholic School) kind of copied our school name so we definitely wanted to win to take the Knights’ name [once and for all],” said Brandon Burnett. A 2-1 victory over Kamloops’ St. Ann’s Academy Crusaders in the ‘A’ final of the tourney lifted Annunciation to Prince Rupert’s first title in their very first year of entry. The number of teams expanded

from 14 to 20 in 2014 and the Knights did all their damage in two minutes of the match. “Seji [Sahdra] got a lucky break [on our first goal] and we were all just really pumped and Daniel [Cachero] got the second,” said Burnett. Cachero’s strike came with a few minutes remaining to quash Kamloops, one of the stronger teams of the weekend, and the team Burnett and his squad had in their sights from the beginning. “Before the game, we saw them play and we had our doubts [we could beat them],” said the Knight.

“But we really wanted to win so we pushed through.” Even Annunciation’s second squad proved to be a threat. The ‘B’ final featured the hometown Immaculate Conception Kodiaks of Prince George versus the second Rupert team, and they scored twice in a 6-2 loss to the team that didn’t spend 10 hours on a bus. “We made it that far through maybe eight teams,” said forward Kate Morse. “[Terrace] got the trophy last year and we didn’t actually play them because there’s a ‘B’ and ‘C’ division and I think Terrace was in the ‘C’ category and we were in the

‘B’,” she added. Ann Rowse coached one of the teams while Grade 7 teacher Sarah Stephenson was the head coach of the other, with Janice Vick and Janice Fudger serving as assistants. Off the field, the kids and teachers went shopping, swam and slept on the gymnasium floor of St. Mary’s school overnight. Morse and her team played from around 8 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. during the weekend. “They were 12-minute halves [to fit all the games in] ... it was pretty exciting,” said Morse.

Smithers class undertakes North Coast adventure Before heading out on the ocean, Loy and McColm taught students basic canoe training at Prudhomme Lake, where they camped for two nights. The group began paddling to Metlakatla on June 3, a challenging task. “We battled a serious head wind on the way out,” said Dufresne. “Sometimes the wind would catch and we would have to paddle as hard as we could,” added student Haley Duikens. Along the way the group stopped for a hike at McNichol Creek on the Tsimshian Peninsula and Roberson Point in the Metlakatla (Venn) Pass to visit the petroglyph, “Man Who Fell From Heaven”. There, Metlakatla Guardian Watchmen David Leask spoke about the “Man Who Fell From Heaven”, as well as old village sites in the area and their importance to his people. Smithers student Seamus Murphy said it was very insightful. “We learned a lot about the First Nations culture,” he said. After a full day of adventures on and around the ocean, the group arrived to their final destination where they were greeted by host Fanny Nelson. Dufresne and his students commented on how welcoming and kind Nelson was during their two days in Metlakatla, noting Nelson taught them aspects of her people’s history and culture, to cedar-bark weave, and even woke up before 4 a.m. on the last day of the trip to

As their large canoe drifted ashore Rushbrooke Floats on Thursday, so did their singing voices. The trip back to Prince Rupert from Metlakatla may have been exhausting, but the group of Smithers students were still in high spirits following their adventure. Sixteen Grade 7 French Immersion students from Muheim Memorial Elementary in Smithers, along with teacher Eric Dufresne and chaperons, travelled to the North Coast at the beginning of June for a year-end field trip. “Having just finished a unit on residential schools, we thought instead of looking at that rather disturbing part of history we’d come and celebrate Northwest First Nations culture,” Dufresne said. “It was both a celebration of our school year, and a really, really valuable and rich learning experience.” Prince Rupert’s Peter Loy, who operates the North Coast School of Canoeing, led the journey along with partner Roger McColm of Smithers’ Northern Sun Tours. “They got an immersion experience in canoeing, water safety, survival, hiking and also some strong First Nations culture components worked in. It was an encompassing experience for them,” Loy said.

make them breakfast. During their time in the village the group went on more adventures, such as hiking part of the Metlakatla Wilderness Trail. For student Claire Lesawich, this was the highlight of the trip. “The suspension bridges on the hike were cool. When you walked on them they moved from side to side,” she said. While in Metlakatla, Loy made sure the kids were near the water often. “Because these kids are all from the interior, most haven’t spent a lot of time close to the ocean. So we allowed a lot of time for the kids to do their own exploring in the intertidal zone where there’s so much sea life,” said Loy.

“They were fascinated by that.” After two-days of excitement and learning in Metlakatla, the group began paddling back to Prince Rupert on June 5 by 6 a.m. But, they made sure to make one last stop to the Salt Lakes along the way. After docking Loy’s canoe on Thursday, Dufresne said he was impressed with the growth he saw in his students during the trip and their behaviour. “There was a lot of joking, laughing and silliness, but it all came at the right moments,” he said, adding they sang a lot of songs while paddling, some of which they made up on their own. “I think this is going to become a bit of a tradition for us.”

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project

Open House and Invitation to Comment Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Ltd. (Proponent), a wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada PipeLines Limited, is proposing the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project (proposed Project), an approximately 900 km natural gas pipeline from near the District of Hudson’s Hope to the proposed Pacific NorthWest LNG liquefied natural gas export facility on Lelu Island, within the District of Port Edward. The proposed Project would involve the construction and operation of a 48-inch (1,219 mm) diameter pipeline, metering facility, and three compressor stations, with provision for up to an additional five compressor stations to allow for future expansion. The proposed Project will have an initial capacity of approximately 2.0 billion cubic feet (bcf/day) with potential for expansion to approximately 3.6 bcf/day. The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent has now submitted its application (Application) to obtain an environmental assessment certificate, which is required before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. In order to provide information to the public about the Application, and to receive comments from the public, the Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) invites the public to attend Open Houses at the following locations.

Youth leadership through Rotary BY CELINA GUADAGNI VANCOUVER / The Northern View

SIGN OF SUMMER Tiffany Hepner, seven, makes the most of the warm weather last week to pick Butter Cup flowers near Annunciation School.

Many people have heard of Rotary International and know it as a volunteer organization, but one thing they may not know is the incredible opportunities Rotary offers for Youth around the world. Six students from Prince Rupert were given the opportunity to attend an annual camp called RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) where 100 other eager youth meet up to learn and grow as leaders in Vancouver B.C. My name is Celina Guadagni and I was one of the lucky students who was able to take part in this amazing Rotary Camp. Josh Haggstrom, Kate McAlister, Olivia Woodworth, Jenny Nguyen, Timmy Wei and myself were chosen to take part in this weekend adventure and we all had a life-changing experience. The weekend consists of amazing seminars,

outdoor activities and meeting new like-minded individuals to share aspirations and goals, to not only benefit their communities but to make a global impact as well. The students raved about the weekend calling it “life-changing” and an “incredible opportunity.” Jenny Nguyen, along with myself, were chosen

to be junior leaders at the camp as we have attended previous RYLAs and had an absolutely incredible experience leading our groups. Not only do you learn new things such as how to make a positive impact on your school and community but you gain a new understanding of yourself and how you learn best in working

with your strengths and weaknesses. We would all like to thank the Rotary Club of Prince Rupert for sponsoring us and would highly recommend RYLA to anyone who is interesting on expanding their leadership skills and meeting incredible friends from all over British Columbia.

Haida support Fort Nelson Sharleen Gale, Chief of the Fort Nelson First Nation (FNFN), recently visited Haida Gwaii to share FNFN’s experience and concerns about the natural gas industry that is being promoted to revive B.C.’s economy under its LNG Strategy. FNFN is a Treaty 8 nation in northeast B.C. that has been experiencing an unprecedented increase in natural gas exploration, drilling and fracking in their territory in recent years. As LNG terminals are being planned in Kitimat and the Prince Rupert area, the industry proposes a 600 per cent increase in shale gas extraction in Fort Nelson territory, which would mean a dramatic increase in tanker traffic. This would also mean a surge in the dumping of ballast waters into Haida territorial waters. In response to B.C.’s LNG Strategy, the Council of the Haida Nation (CHN) has been working with the Coastal First Nations to examine the potential cumulative impacts of LNG activities affecting the coastal zone of B.C. While committed in opposition to oil tankers, the Haida Nation has opted not to take a formal position or consider any compensation for LNG without ensuring that the interests of the people at the source of the LNG are taken care of, and in this spirit the Haida Nation has offered political support to the people of Treaty 8. President Peter Lantin and vice-president Trevor Russ have since made two visits to northeastern B.C. “It would be irresponsible for us to take a position without understanding the effects on the people most affected,” said Lantin. Last week, Chief Gale brought FNFN’s story to the CHN as well as to the public in sessions held in Massett and Skidegate. “Their story is of a people and landscape being overrun by natural gas exploration and extraction and less-than honourable dealings from the provincial government,” said Russ. Conventional oil and gas has been extracted from Treaty 8 territories in B.C. for many years and FNFN has agreements with B.C. regarding oil and gas activity. FNFN people work in the oil and gas industry and there are economic benefits that come with the industry. The advent of unconventional shale gas, however, threatens to increase the pace and scale of the industry to unacceptable levels. Chief Gale stated that while much of the lands have already been disturbed, her people still use and rely on the lands that remain for their cultural and spiritual well-being. If left unchecked, there could be no land available for the traditional and natural life in a few years. “It is our responsibility to look after our lands and waters,” said Chief Gale. “We know that there is no government or industry who cares the way we care.” Chief Gale closed by advising that the FNFN story is not simply an indigenous peoples’ issue, it is an issue that all people have to be aware of.

Search for shipwrecks launched Looking for links to contact era BY KEVIN CAMPBELL HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View

Everyone knows of Haida Gwaii’s treasured sandy beaches and beautiful landscape, but it’s what’s under the surface that has piqued the curiosity of Parks Canada. Along with Peter Lantin, president of the Haida Nation Canadian Minister of the Environment Leona Aglukkaq has announced that Parks Canada will lead an underwater archaeology project to search for submerged, historic shipwrecks in the Gwaii Haanas region. A variety of technology will be deployed in the three-week expedition including remote sensing (using side-scan sonars), magnetometers, specialized diving techniques and an autonomous underwater vehicle. The goal of the search is to find ships that may have sunk centuries ago, including several from the period of “contact”. The federal government

“We are pleased to participate in the search for clues to the history of contact.” - Peter Lantin states that two ships in particular, one from 1794 during the maritime fur trade and another from 1851 during a search for gold, might be located. The project is part of “years of work by Parks Canada and various partners to explore, study, protect and share with the public the rich archaeological heritage of the area,” according to the government. “Today’s announcement supports the key pillars of our new National Conservation Plan, by conserving and restoring our lands and water and protecting Canada’s rich natural

heritage from coast to coast to coast. Searching for shipwrecks in Gwaii Haanas will help us gather an inventory of the cultural treasures in Canada’s first national marine conservation area reserve,” said Aglukkaq. “Haida Gwaii and the surrounding waters are blanketed with Haida history. Locating a vessel and other cultural material from the time of contact will provide valuable insight for those times but also give us pause to consider our relationships today. We are pleased to participate in the search for clues to the early history of contact in our territory,” said Lantin of the search. A total of six bodies will board the Gwaii Haanas II for the search; four Parks Canada underwater archaeologists, the Gwaii Haanas cultural resource management advisor and a volunteer from the Underwater Archaeological Society of British Columbia to complete the project.

Brothers in (dueling) Arms take on North America BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

On Thursday, Prince Rupert’s Winther brothers will board a plane heading for Seattle and they’ll hope the contents of their carry-on luggage will bring the city a North American championship. The name of the game is Kaijudo and Kevin’s and Tyler’s card decks, kept hidden firmly under wraps to everyone except fellow Rupertite teammates, will be tested against the very best in North America, even if some of them aren’t your traditional competitors. “There’s a few oddballs, but mainly it’s the same characters that you get to see [at every championship] that are active in the [Kaijudo] community,” said Tyler Winther (18) last weekend. The brothers have secured two of only 86 spots that are to duel for 2014’s Kaijudo throne and they did it by succeeding in Prince Rupert’s KMC, or Kaijudo Master Challenge, an entrylevel tournament that decides who gets free air-fare to compete against the very best. Kaijudo, the two-year-old trading card game created by toy company Hasbro and collectible card game gurus and creators of Magic the Gathering, Wizards of the Coast, is Prince Rupert’s most popular card game and it’s not even a close contest.

“We do host the largest tournaments in North America right now,” said Tyler, adding that approximately 111 participants came to the newest set premiere two weeks ago hosted by Good Times Games. It’s popularity can be attributed to its ease of accessibility to new players, said Kevin Winther (14). “It’s a simple game that can get very competitive if you want it to be. It’s simple math, addition and subtraction, so a lot strategy,” he said. Another large part of the craze that has swept card shops everywhere is the friendly and welcoming atmosphere that owner Rob Gruber creates for his customers and friends. “Rob has a group of kids that show up everyday to play and it’s just something for them to do. Instead of video-games, they come and play cards together or action figure games or whatever, so it has a lot to do with the community. It just grows,” said Tyler. Kevin originally got his older brother into the game after he came home with some cards years ago. Tyler had originally played a now-defunct similar game by the same creators called Duel Masters when he was 10. The brothers’ first order of business is helping their Seattle-bound entourage acquire spots in the final 86 along with them in Last-Chance Qualifiers (LCQs),

a tournament before the finals that players can enter. “Rob, Ryan Last, Alex and his girlfriend Molly, Joey and Olivia, and then us three [Kevin, Tyler and their mother, Susan] are competing,” said Tyler. They’ll test their decks out against each other in the days leading up to the championships and then hope for the best in the finals. “We act as a team so we all know each

other, what we’re playing, and then we’re able to tweak on that and help each other out and have a pool of cards so nobody’s shorted,” he added. The games typically take 10 to 15 minutes each to play and sometimes, like in Kevin’s case, longer. “For my deck that I played with the tournament, it would take half an hour to an hour [to play three rounds] because I wouldn’t actually swing for the win until I knew I had the game,” he said.

Ian Harwood Seating for seven with an option for eight gives riders plenty of room and all seats are very comfortable. The second seats slide forward easily thanks to ‘Smart Slide’, enabling quick access to the third-row seating area. With the pull of a lever, the cushion flips up while the seatback slides forward. The system can be adjusted to provide more legroom either for those in the second row or third. I should also note the ice blue LED light strip that envelops the entire inside of the vehicle at night, forming a chest high ring of light. It might be ok if you’re a fan of the movie Tron, but I found it a bit distracting. Moving on . . . The Enclave features enough technological upgrades to excite any techno savvy person. The Buick IntelliLink system is an interactive audio system that enables you to access music and apps from your smartphone. It also offers a voice-to-text system to discourage the temptation to glance at your smartphone while driving. I used the system extensively and it proved to be a real winner.

The Buick Enclave has all the luxury you can ask for in an SUV. vehicles as you are backing up. There is also an available side blind zone alert that uses radar to identify a vehicle traveling in one of your blind spots. In additional to all the usual airbags, Buick has introduced an industry first driver’s seat side mounted front centre airbag. It provides cushioning between the driver and front passenger in side impacts. Nice weather encouraged me to take a trip to Whistler along the Sea-to-Sky highway. I have always enjoyed that highway with all the twists and curves. The Enclave was a little sluggish on the hills, but overall it handled very well. The tester had a 3.6-litre V6 engine, which generates 288 horsepower, is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and offers direct injection with variable valve timing. The all-wheel drive system detects wheel

slippage and delivers power to the wheel to give you it the best grip. The highway fuel consumption is rated at 8.4 L/100km (12.7 – city), but I was getting about 8.9L/100km on my trip. The actual numbers are 12.7/8.4 L/100 km (city/ highway) I’ve left the looks until last because the major changes came in the last model year so differences are only subtle. It does now have a noticeable splash of LED accent lighting over the headlights. The Enclave is designed to be a stylish people mover and it definitely achieves that goal. Overall, it was a nice driving experience and with a few changes, it could be a more attractive one too. Price as tested $51,545. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Beatrice Hardy (nee Ritchie)

Sept. 26, 1984 - June 12, 2009 I have not turned my back on you, so there is no need to cry. I’m watching you from heaven, just beyond the morning sky. I’ve seen you almost fall apart. When you could barely stand. I asked the Lord to comfort you, And watched him take your hand. He told me you were in more pain, Than I could ever be. He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard, Then gave your hand to me. Although you may not feel my touch, Or see be by your side. I’ve whispered that I love you, While I wiped each tear you cried. So please try not to ache for me, We will meet again one day, Beyond the dark and stormy sky, A rainbow lights the way.

Forever on Angel’s Wings

Baby Girl We love you and miss you so much! Mom, Dad, Ava Family & Friends

February 15, 1927 - May 29, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce Bea’s passing in Prince Rupert at Acropolis Manor. Predeceased by her husband Bill in 1985. She is survived by her son Bill (Linda); daughters Anita Miele (Vince) and Irene Eisbrenner (Al); grandchildren Denise (Darren), David (Jean), Michael (Chrissy), Richard, Melissa (Greg); great grandchildren Emily, Evelynn, Logan, Miah, Hope, Talan, Meadow, Josh, Douglas, William, Beckett, baby Sherwood; her sister Edith and many nieces and nephews. Born in Rupert and a member of the Prince Rupert “75 Year Club”, Mom enjoyed her years of bowling, curling and “bonspieling”. Mom worked at the pulp mill on Watson Island for 34 years with a true dedication of loyalty to her job, the people and the site. Retirement left her with time for traveling which included British Isles, Russia, Africa and Japan among some of her holidays. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all the staff at the Manor who helped us in every possible way. Special thanks to Shelly, Gail, Brenda, Marilyn and Amanda for your support of Mom and us. In lieu of flowers donations in Bea’s memory may be made to a charity of one’s choice. No service, interment will be a private family gathering. Forever in our Hearts and Memories.

Exciting new events highlight 2014 Seafest BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Seafest is almost here, with the 36th annual celebration including everyone’s favourite activities along with some new, exciting events for people of all ages. The fresh activities kick off on Friday with Children’s Day in the Park, hosted by Success by Six. This is the second year the group has organized the event, and its first year being part of Seafest. The free event will take place between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., consisting of a variety of activities aimed at kids from birth to age six, like a craft tent, games, face painting, and a photo booth, as well as musical entertainment by The Kerplunks and Barefoot Caravan. On Friday between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., Prince Rupert longboarders will take to the streets for the first-ever longboard races, a free activity hosted by Loaded Sports. “The track is going to go from the courthouse driveway down to Cow Bay in front of Atlin Terminal,” said Joy Sundin of the Prince Rupert Special Events Society, adding the races will be in heats of two. To take part, riders must be wearing protective gear, with a number of prizes being handed out to participants.

Mini-train rides in the upper parking lot of the Rupert Square Mall is just one of the new activities for the 36th Annual Seafest.

On the same day and time, the 1st Annual North Coast Artisan Showcase will take place at the Lester Centre of the Arts. The art show is a fundraiser for Parents for Positive Change, with North Coast artists sharing their inspired creations that include regalia, clothing, jewellery, drums, weaving and more. Admission will be by donation. Throughout the 36th annual Seafest celebration, the Royal Canadian Navy will put on diving displays and tours of one of its diving tenders at the Atlin Terminal pier. Displays and tours will be happening from noon to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. After being absent at last year’s Seafest, the Burnout Contest will return

by popular demand. The event, put on by the Prince Rupert Auto Club, will take place at 4 p.m. following the Show and Shine. Auto club vice-president Ed Evans promises “lots of smoke, rubber and engine noise”. “People love it,” Evans said. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of train transportation in Northwest B.C., the Prince George Railway and Forestry Museum and CN Rail is offering mini-train rides on the Cottonwood Express all day Saturday and Sunday in the upper parking lot of the Rupert Square Mall. “It’s a ride-on train on 400 feet of track with a 7.5 gauge mini-train. All aboard!” said Sundin, adding it will cost $2 per person.

Then, on Sunday, the Prince Rupert Harley Riders are putting on a motorcycle bike rodeo in front of the Belmont Pub from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. that will include five events to show skill in riding and a variety of prizes being given away. In addition to new events, there are countless activities returning for Seafest 2014. This includes the Quick and Daring race, which Sundin said is in need of more teams. The Quick and Daring sees teams of two build a boat out of provided-materials on Seafest Saturday to race the following day.
