Barkerville’s Theatre Royal opens for the 2014 season Barkerville Historic Town’s renowned Theatre Royal opens its 2014 season with a gala event and dance party on June 21. The event begins with the annual general meeting of the Barkerville Heritage Trust at 11 a.m. and ends with a boot-stomping shindig from 9 p.m. onwards at the House Hotel Saloon. Between 4 – 7 p.m., the cast and crew of Newman and Wright Theatre Company will manage to squeeze in the premieres of two brand-new musical shows, as well as raise some much-appreciated funds in a hilarious charity auction in support of their authentic theatrical endeavours. “Rehearsals are over and once again they’ve been well worth the effort,” Theatre Royal producer Richard Wright said. “We are very excited to present The Return of Lafont and Ward’s Musical Revue, and our newest musical drama, Campfires and Trails: the Captain Jack Crawford Story.” Every summer season since Barkerville was first declared a provincial heritage site more than 50 years ago, a passionate troupe of actors, singers, dancers and musicians assemble in the historic town to re‐ create the joy and creativity of the original Theatre Royal, which was built in 1868 to provide much-needed respite to generations of Cariboo miners, businesspeople generations of Cariboo miners and families throughout the late-19th and early20th centuries. “Barkerville has always been fortunate to attract creative and talented people from all over the world who come together each season to help us celebrate the opening of the Theatre Royal,” Barkerville’s manager of Visitor Experiences James Douglas said. “The Barkerville Heritage Trust is proud to support this tradition and we are thankful to those members of our local and provincial governments, businesses, and the community at large who support us year after year.” For more information about Barkerville’s Theatre Royal Gala, or any of this season’s special events, visit www.barkerville.ca/events.htm.

Minister should resign over Kwantlen payments: NDP
Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk violated spending rules as a university board member in 2010-12 and he should not be allowed to continue as the cabinet minister responsible for enforcing those rules, NDP leader John Horgan said Wednesday. Horgan was commenting on the findings of an investigation into the hiring
of two senior executives of Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Virk should resign from cabinet or be fired by Premier Christy Clark, Horgan said. The review found that extra “consulting fees” of $50,000 paid to Kwantlen president Alan Davis and former vice-president Anne Lavack were not reported as part of their compensation, and were
paid separately to get around compensation limits when they were being hired. Horgan said Virk, an RCMP inspector in Langley before running in the 2013 B.C. election, knows he broke the rules. Virk spoke to reporters Tuesday when the report from assistant deputy minister Rob Mingay was released.
He called it “a humbling moment” and said that he was not properly informed on the financial reporting rules for hiring university executives at the time. Virk vowed to make sure current directors of public institutions are properly trained. Finance Minister Mike de Jong ordered the review after the extra payments were raised in the
B.C. legislature by NDP advanced education critic David Eby. The results are “troubling,” de Jong said when the report was released. The government’s Public Sector Employers’ Council (PSEC) set salary ranges for Levack’s position at $125,000 to $175,000. When Levack was hired in 2011, she received the maximum salary, plus a
$20,000-a-year research allowance and a $50,000 “consulting fee” before starting work that was not reported to PSEC. In the case of Davis, a Kwantlen official’s 2011 email that was copied to Virk inquires about paying the new president an extra $100,000 above PSEC guidelines, from the Kwantlen Polytechnic University Foundation.

Why You Need Power Of Attorney Do you have arrangements in place for someone to handle your financial affairs if you become sick or incapacitated? Have you left clear instructions regarding the type of medical care you want if you can’t make your wishes known? These two important areas of financial and personal planning shouldn’t be overlooked. While they may seem trivial when you’re healthy, an illness or accident can put your financial and personal life in a state of disarray. Power of attorney is your best defence. Power of attorney is a legal document that allows a person or institution you choose to manage your affairs when you can’t. (In Quebec, this is known as a “mandate.”) Power of attorney for property allows someone to manage your financial affairs. This can include anything from banking and expenses to looking after investments. You can appoint your spouse, a family member, a trusted friend, legal representative or a financial institution such as a trust company. You can assign general power for all your financial affairs, or restricted power of attorney giving responsibility for a narrow range of your finances-for example, investments only. Aboriginal concerns have been a key part of protests against the Northern Gateway pipeline proposal, including this one at the B.C. legislature in October 2013.

Ottawa approves Enbridge pipeline project TOM FLETCHER Black Press The federal Conservative government has approved Enbridge’s Northern Gateway oil pipeline project, despite widespread opposition in B.C. that includes the provincial government, First Nations, environmental organizations and residents of the intended oil tanker port of Kitimat. Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford signalled the government’s approval in a low-key statement Tuesday that endorsed the 209 conditions imposed by a federal review. Rickford noted that the proponent still needs to consult with aboriginal communities and secure provincial permits. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has emphasized it is in the national interest to open a new pipeline route to the Pacific Ocean to carry Alberta oil sands bitumen and break the Canadian oil industry’s dependence on U.S. markets. But a continuing battle over the pipeline plan is expected in the courts, and potentially on the land, where civil disobedience has already been threatened. Opposition demands to reject the project dominated question period in the House of Commons Tuesday. NDP leader Thomas Mul-
cair called the review panel process “a sham,” and Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen warned that opposition in B.C. may upset plans to develop liquefied natural gas exports in the province. The project doesn’t yet meet Premier Christy Clark’s five conditions for new heavy oil pipelines, which include world leading marine and land spill protections, resolution of aboriginal concerns and a fair share of benefits for B.C. B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak said the decision means the project meets the first of five conditions required by the province, a successful federal review. “We recognize the benefits that the Northern Gateway project may bring, but they will not be at the expense of our environment,” Polak said. The decision by the Harper cabinet follows last December’s ruling by a federal review panel that the $6.8-billion project should proceed, subject to 209 conditions. That followed Enbridge’s earlier pledges to improve the project’s safety with thicker steel and other measures along the 1,177-kilometre route. The twin pipelines would carry 525,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen from the oil sands west to Kitimat and send condensate to act
as a thinning agent east to Alberta.
Opponents gear up to battle northern oil pipeline From Kitimat to Victoria, opponents are preparing to fight the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal, after it was given federal approval Tuesday. A group of B.C. aboriginal communities issued a statement Tuesday vowing to go to court to protect their aboriginal title and rights on the land affected by the twin pipeline and tanker port for diluted bitumen on Douglas Channel. Aboriginal opponents in the North Coast region include the Haida, Gitgaat, Heiltsuk and Haisla First Nations, as well as communities in the B.C. Interior. Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross, whose community is at the end of Douglas Channel and who is involved in a natural gas export project, said it is too late for more consultations. “Every mistake they’ve made we actually pointed out to them and said ‘this is not following our case law principles, you’re making a mistake’,” Ross said Tuesday. “But they went ahead and did it. It is going to be court.” Northern Gateway proj-
ect leader Janet Holder said she will continue to work to build on the 26 equity agreements the company has reached with aboriginal communities along the proposed pipeline route. Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan said her council has made its opposition clear, after an April community vote that came down opposed to the project. “I think most of the councillors are of the opinion that they really don’t want to see bitumen going down the channel,” Monaghan said. “They would rather have it refined and have a product that’s refined going down the channel.” B.C. NDP leader John Horgan said he wants resource development that creates jobs in B.C., particularly for aboriginal communities. Horgan said the B.C. Liberal government gave up its opportunity to oppose Northern Gateway. B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak rejected that claim, saying the province gave a clear “no” in its final submission to the federal review panel. Discussions with Alberta, Enbridge and oil producers continue to see if B.C.’s conditions for land and ocean protection as well as a “fair share” of benefits for B.C. can be met, Polak said. – With files from Kitimat Northern Sentinel
Power of attorney for personal care gives someone the right to make medical decisions on your behalf. (Depending on where in Canada you live, this may also be known as a “health care directive” or “living will.”) When you’re incapacitated by illness or injury you won’t be able to direct your own care-particularly when near death. This could result in treatment you don’t want, such as being kept on life support with no possibility of recovery. A power of attorney for personal care will make your wishes known and assign somebody the legal right to ensure they are carried out. For example, you can specify the degree of medical intervention you will allow, steps to be taken to relieve pain and suffering, or your choice of a nursing home. This type of power of attorney also relieves family members of the pressure of making decisions on medical treatment and prolongation of your life. It’s not difficult to set up power of attorney. Your lawyer can prepare the necessary documents for you. But before you take that step, think about the instructions to be included and to whom powers of attorney will be assigned. For finances, make sure the person you appoint has the capability, time and desire to manage your financial affairs. If those affairs are complex, a financial institution may be the best choice. For personal care, consider your spouse or other close family member. This should be someone who knows you and your wishes well. Discuss your instructions and desires with your potential representative. It’s also a good idea to speak to your doctor about what you should include in your power of attorney for personal care. You should also specify under which circumstances power of attorney will take effect. For example you can specify that one or more doctors must declare that you are no longer able to physically or mentally manage your financial or personal affairs. If you don’t have powers of attorney for property and personal affairs, speak to your lawyer and financial advisor right away. Don’t wait until it’s too late.

Waiting game
Friday, June 20, 2014
Quesnel Cariboo Observer
“Life is about timing.”
– Carl Lewis
T
hey say the key to good comedy is timing. The same could be said of labour action. The B.C. teachers strike, which began in full this week, is an example of questionable timing. It appears to be a gamble, which may not pay off. The strike is taking place at a time when students are normally preparing for final exams. This is a time when some children have the most need of a teacher’s help. Classes designed around reviewing the year’s curriculum will be lost and while the government has assured that exams will go on, you have to wonder if the students are properly prepared to take those tests. If the teachers were hoping that a mid-June strike would provide the needed pressure to bring a quick end to the dispute, they appear to be mistaken. On Monday, talks collapsed between the two parties and the strike is on. Now comes the waiting game. With negotiations stalled and the school year winding down, the pressure to sign a new deal will soon evaporate. If the strike continues into July, why would either side feel the need to make concessions? What will result is two long months of speeches, saber-rattling and rhetoric as both sides claim to be fighting for a just cause. Worse is the fact that parents, and the general public, will begin to lose interest as normal summer vacation activities begin. –Black Press
Bursting the boredom bubble
Years before I was a mother, my husband and I babysat our young niece and nephew for the weekend. We were living in Vancouver and wanted to show them a good time so we took them to restaurants for meals, ice cream parlours for desserts and costly tourist attractions for entertainment. We also took them to the arcade and the movies. After two days of running around town, emptying my pocketbook and trying to keep up with the two Energizer bunnies, I felt exhausted and wondered if I would ever be ready to be a parent. And then I heard two words I felt confirmed the answer was no: “I’m bored,” the older one sighed loudly. I was shocked as I heard the younger one agree: “Me too.” I couldn’t believe it. We’d been having a blast and I couldn’t imagine what more we could have done to entertain these youngsters. “Only boring people get bored,” I responded.

On A Brighter Note I don’t think they understood what I meant by that, but it was something my mom said to me when I was a kid and it always stuck. It seemed to work on them as well. At least temporarily. Our next activity was blowing bubbles, and though it was far less expensive and much simpler than anything else we’d done, the kids seemed to have the most fun with it. The next day, after they’d gone home, I told my friend about the experience and my concern that I’d never have enough energy to be a mother. She laughed and said it’s different when the kids are your own. She was right. I have two children now.
but from simple pleasures that didn’t cost much at all. Playing games, riding bikes, running through sprinklers, throwing water balloons, skipping rope, tenting in the back yard – the possibilities seemed endless. Solo pursuits were enjoyable as well. My kids tend to turn to electronics such as the computer, phone or television when they’re on their own, so we made a separate list of solitary activities that don’t involve technology, things that kids from the old days used to do. While Sam and Daisy can easily amuse themselves with the digital world, I want them to appreciate the simple, pure fun of life that surrounds them. Just like I did in the olden days, so far back, the kids tease that I traveled by wagon. Well, some us did travel by wagon I guess. The station wagon was one sweet ride.

Sam and Daisy are turning 14 and 11 this summer, and while I’ve treated them to things like I did with my nephew and niece, the bulk of their entertainment is left up to them, just like it was left up to me when I was a kid. With school breaking for the summer, it’s a good time to remind myself of that. I want to hang out and make memories with them, but they have a lot more vacation time than I do. And if they run out of ideas of things to do, a reminder of inexpensive activities could be helpful to them, so I made a list and attached it to the fridge. Part of it I got from suggestions I found when I searched the internet, and part of it was from a brainstorming session with Sam and Daisy. We had fun compiling the list and came up with some great ideas on what we could do together – with friends and family as well. Most of my best memories as a kid weren’t from the pricey vacations,

Public education system, stretched too thin Editor: When I have a serious discussion with staff and I want my opinion to be heard, I use the words “what I know to be true” and I try to present the facts. Today I will share what I know to be true about my experience as a B.C. teacher. I know that to become a teacher in this province nine years ago, I had to earn a bachelor of education degree. To receive a spot in the program I had to have excellent grades in my first bachelor’s degree and I had to prove that I had done many hours of volunteer work
Letters to the Editor
with kids. I had to have proof I was willing to work for free to help kids. I was actually happy with this aspect of the criteria. I know that once hired as a certified teacher, I won a .2 contract. This means I worked one day per week as a paid school employee. I worked three to four days a week creating individual programs for the learning disabled and special needs students. I was recognized with pay for about 60 days in total that year and my income was probably similar to a person in a minimum wage join. I was
willing to do this because I looked forward and saw that eventually, I would have a more sustainable income. I know that I am now going into my eighth year as a certified teacher and many of those years have been fulfilling contracts that did not suit my personal or professional goals. I have often worked at two to three schools per year, sometimes three schools in one day, as this was the only way I could combine my wages into a reasonable family income. I have given up many of my lunch hours and recess for travel between
schools, meetings and parent conferences. My family don’t ask for my school phone number because honestly, they don’t know which school I work at anymore (they’ve lost track.) I know in my heart, I still want to teach children. I want to be the safe place that children can land when home is broken. The world is changing so fast and I am willing to work hard to figure out how to make the best use of the time we have, to prepare youth for the challenges of tomorrow. However, I feel our public system is stretched too thin. It
promises an education for every child but often children cannot participate because they are two or more years below their peers and there is no assistance available. I, as a resource teacher, can offer no support to many of those teachers. I feel my heart breaking when students ask to work with me and I have say “sorry”, because I do not have enough time to do all that I know needs to be done. This what I know to be true.

Lin Weich’s third novel hits the mark for suspence and thrills ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
F
rom the first words in chapter one, Alone, a novel by Lin Weich, paints a terrifying picture. A young girl is running from vicious bullies at her school and because of that ongoing torment, her family makes a decision that changes everything. Already fed up with city life, the parents decide to construct a new life in a wilderness setting, hoping to give their two daughters a safer, better life. The ensuing hardships, challenges, rewards and joy they experience on a small homestead on the northern coast of B.C., creates positive and negative aspects to their new life. Paralleling that family’s life-changing decisions are the equally dreadful choices being made by a young man who grew up on the same homestead now occupied by the Lindholm family, but lived his life, since his teen years, far, far away in Vancouver. His was a difficult life, made more difficult by the choices he made. Over the seven years the story covers, both plot threads move the characters closer and closer to catastrophe. Alone is a riveting read where the reader becomes invested in the success or failure of the characters. Unless you are okay with spoiling the story and chose to read the end before finishing the book, most readers wait for the climatic end. Not so for author Lin Weich. “I usually know where the book ends up, then have to get the characters there,” she said. Although Alone has two main story threads, Weich admits sometimes that’s just not enough, so she adds other twists and characters. “I find the story and character development fascinating,” she said. “And the more I write the more I’m thrilled with the challenge.” As with her two previous novels, Strength
of an Eagle and HalfTruths, Total Lies, Weich does her research into all aspects of the story. For Alone, she consulted with professionals regarding such details as the interior of a Beaver aircraft, the mind and behaviour of someone with an anxiety disorder (exactly what could be correctly expected), the world of gambling and the setting of the homestead. She’s always appreciative of living in a small town where fellow residents are often more than willing to share their experiences and expertise on a whole lot of subjects. Research can sometimes be the person next to you in the library or City Hall. Weich is also very grateful to the three people who took the time to read and critique her finished manuscript before it went to press. “Each brought different skills to the process and I was satisfied they covered the areas with suggestions and recommendations,” she said. “And I really appreciated their input.” Alone, as with all her books, was an opportunity for Weich to grow as a writer and explore fascinating subjects outside her normal expertise. What’s next for this emerging writer? She’s still contemplating that but says she has no shortage of story ideas. Although her reading public has urged her to consider a sequel to any one of her books, Weich admitted she might but is also enticed by all the new material residing in her fertile mind. From beginning to end, Alone took a year to complete and Weich said much of that time was the publishing process. After the book actually appears in print, Weich says she takes time to appreciate the book, put her marketing plan in place and consider her options for the next project. To secure a copy of Alone contact the author at www.linweich.com or check other online book sellers.

which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints and His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated Him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and
dominion and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him to be head over everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way.” That’s the key of pressing in to Jesus – that we would know Him, understand
the life to which He has called us and live in the knowledge that His power enables us. Then we are liberated from a ‘gospel’ without power, freedom or reality. Then we become those who really reflect Jesus – not in private faith, rather in a public display of His character. Brian Dean is pastor of Lakeview Church in Quesnel.

It’s time for some summer fun and Imagination Park provides the perfect opportunity for kids ages 6 – 12 to play games, make crafts, tour around the community and swim. Imagination Park runs through the Quesnel Arts and Recreation Centre Monday – Thursday 9 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., with special event Fridays. The program begins June 30 and ends Aug. 28. In addition to the regular times of Imagination Park, there is “Morning Mayhem” starting at 8 a.m. as well as “Sun Fun Survivor” at 3:30 – 5 p.m. It’s never a dull moment at the Imagination Park with a new theme starting each week, with different crafts, games and activities designed by the leaders for each theme. The program offers a wide range of theme weeks such as August Christmas, Sports for All Sorts, I
am Canadian, and many more. Each theme week ends with a special event Friday that is sure to please any child. These Friday events range from a Kid’s Carnival, Moose Meadows, Yorston Farms, Wacky Waterslides, and the Rec. Centre Sleep Over. Dedicated leaders Ava Keis, Brianna Gooselin-Percey, Lisa Vaughan, and Brandi Mack are eager to provide a safe, friendly environment for the children to make friends while enjoying various crafts, games and activities. “I really enjoy going home every day knowing we made a difference to each child’s summer and having them leave the program with a smile,” said Mack.

June 15 - 21, 2014 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, let your creative side take over this week. Your imagination is ready to run wild, and this burst of creative energy will have long-lasting positive effects. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, though you are known for being a tad stubborn, this week you are open to any and all suggestions. You may surprise a few people by being so open-minded. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, while you may have natural leadership abilities, most of the time you do not want to pull rank. This week you may need to step things up a bit. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, now is a good time to travel, even if it means just a quick jaunt. But if a big vacation is on the horizon, know that you will likely have a smooth trip ahead. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Your powers are magnetic this week, Leo. Others find you simply irresistible, which can bode well if you are looking for a romantic partner or want to step things up. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a busy week at work will require lots of cooperation among you and your coworkers. If ever there was a time to summon your leadership abilities, now is the time. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, many things are in disarray and you may need some help getting back to efficient living. Download an app to help you track expenses or keep tabs on your responsibilities. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 You are bound to be the center of attention, Scorpio. Get over any shyness early on because you will be spending time with coworkers for most of the week. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 You will do some of your best work at home this week, Sagittarius. Spend ample time getting the house in order. A few days working from home could kickstart plans. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, quickly curb any feelings of boredom by exploring a new hobby. Try taking a new fitness or art class. You’ll have chances to mingle, too. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Put the brakes on impulse buys, Aquarius. This week you may be tempted to spend more money than you have, and that will only lead to long-term financial concerns. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, it is time to rebrand yourself. This may start with a mini-makeover or more significant changes to your life and career.

A big bike for a big cause
This week’s feature: ature:
Hot laps with
F1 Champ...
The Big Bike rolled into Quesnel, June 11. Two teams came out to support the cause raising $3,068 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, with Wal-Mart’s team raising $2,221 and the downtown association working to raise $847. Teams are comprised of up to 29 riders who are committed to raising at least $50 for this worthy cause. The foundation provides a driver and riders work together to pedal on a short ride through the community in support of the heart and stroke foundation. There have been 8,000 riders from 500 teams in 47 different communities across B.C. Clockwise from top left: riders having a great time as they get ready to tour the town on the Big Bike; the bike gains speed as they ride downhill towards the arena; Miss Quesnel canadiates Mieire Sabbarwal and Kayleen Dillabough already enjoying the ride as they leave from the arena; and the Quesnel Downtown Association was the second team of the day and raised $847 for the Heart and Stroke foundation.

I am blessed Life is fair to that I contest. Some are dealt such hardship while others, so blessed. There is so much sadness; too much death. Hunger and sickness; poverty and stress. Some handle their fate oblivious to grief; while others give in and fold with defeat. It’s hardly humane, what some must endure; especially the young ones, so innocent, so pure. I have been fortunate and truly blessed; misfortune and grief have steered clear I confess. I have witnessed such grief suffering and sorrow; and have learned that we must always look to tomorrow. I am humble and weak, having not had to suffer; for strength lies with those who have succumb to the other. I look up to them, although it won’t show. Their strength is a blessing something they should know. In the end what I’ve learned without sounding mundane; we are all tested at some point and challenged with pain How we come through it all Is the reward we are given. We’re natural born fighters we don’t quit ‘till we’re winning. So when you are challenged or see others as such; just keep your head held high and your spirits up. Remembering Starla!

Happy With Yourself Let’s sing a song of glory, ‘cause it makes our hearts feel good, If we’d let the Lord control us, I know He truly would. We’d be happy with our work, and also in our play, We’d get up rejoicing at the start of every day. The Lord could do so much, if we’d give Him half a chance, He could brighten up our soul in the quickness of a glance. Oh our God in Heaven, my Spirit’s really bright, The load upon my shoulders is oh so ever light. I’m happy and contended and joyous just to live, With the guidance from above, for the little that we give. He can control our Spirit and make us what we are, And guide us with his wisdom like the twinkle of a star. Oh dear God in Heaven, I’m delighted just to be, Among the souls of the living, in this land so ever free. I often sit and wonder as I talk to you above, About the problems here, and your everlasting love. The thrill to know you’re there will put the mind at ease, And dear Lord above, I know you’ll try to please. You take the time to listen and answer all our prayers, We should all be grateful for the knowledge from upstairs. If we put our mind in motion and put our heart in trust, A daily prayer to God above, would surely be a must. So let us pray together, and take an active part, At being ever happy from the inside of our heart. Elaine Couldwell Enough When I was young I didn’t know enough, I didn’t know that I didn’t know enough, When I found out I didn’t know enough, I didn’t know enough to care that I didn’t know enough, Life was good enough. When I stumbled into middle age I didn’t know enough, I had absorbed a lot of stuff, but it was still not enough, I was learning a lot of new stuff, but not enough, I found there is so much stuff I could never know enough, Life was still good enough. Suddenly I was old and realized I had always know enough, When you can feed cloth and shelter yourself, that is enough, The rest is good stuff, but it’s fluff to the main enough, Those that are capable of feeding, clothing and sheltering themselves and choose not to, are not good enough, Life always was and still is good enough. So enough of enough, Already. R. Ray

“There haven’t been too many of those lately,” he joked, pressing harder on the metal, perhaps to make a point. As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new compact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada. The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horsepower twin-turbo V6. Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight. “Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily.
“Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it. Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I reminded him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success. “That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreciation. The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes. Last Sunday, he enjoyed only his second podium finish of the year taking third place at the Montreal Grand Prix. You’re welcome, Seb. Same time next year, in the Eau Rouge?

Question of the Week Four-time F1 champ Sebastian Vettel got behind the wheel of a kart when he was just three-and-a-half years old and was racing at age eight. Should we encourage teens to follow that example, as a way of learning about vehicle speed and control before getting their first license at 16? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer.

OF THE WEEK!
Safety Tip: As schools begin their summer break, there will be more children around the roads. Road safety is not always top of mind for kids, so make sure you pay extra attention, especially around playgrounds where speed limits remain in effect year-round.

Ideal big truck for a big truck guy ‘‘

PIC OF THE WEEK You need not be a Formula 1 fan to enjoy this computer-generated film about the Red Bull Ring, the location for this coming weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix. It features the man from today’s Driveway cover story – four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel and Infiniti-Red Bull Racing’s young gun Daniel Ricciardo racing around the track. Driving RB10s, Daniel and Sebastian explain the track's unique characteristics as they dual around the 4.3 km circuit. As the Red Bull racers contend with changing weather conditions, they explain the circuit's elevation changes, the four best overtaking opportunities, the track's nine corners and the four high-speed stretches. In certain sections of the circuit, Sebastian's RB10 becomes transparent, showing the intricate inner details of his 2014 racecar. http://bit.ly/1jsHBTA keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Hill start assist is a good feature and helps prevent you from rolling back on a hill by maintaining brake pressure until the engine delivers enough torque to move the truck up the hill. Fuel economy 15.8/10.2 L/100 km (city/highway) Verdict Not too long ago driving a heavy duty truck with a diesel engine meant you were in for a bumpy ride, not to mention the noise and smell of diesel fuel. Not now. Fast forward to today and the ride is smooth, the noise is greatly reduced and you can hardly smell the fuel. These trucks still work hard as ever, but are also used as mobile offices, meeting rooms, and for family outings.

The interior is very well organized, comfortable leather Ian Harwood 12-way front bucket seats that are heated and cooled. The rear seats are a 60/40 split. Heavy use of dark wood burl is very prominent and gives the truck a different level of sophistication. The navigation screen is positioned perfectly and is easy to program without distracting you from the road. Steering wheel controls help with all radio functions and incoming phone calls. The dash could have been better, lots of plastic and not that appealing. Safety There is a single stage driver and front passenger airbag.

Forward collision alert, lane departure warning and safety alert driver seat are all standard. Roadworthy The steering is very direct and responsive and makes driving a large truck very easy. There is no fighting the steering wheel which can be a problem with other trucks in this category. The cab is very quiet and you can barely hear any road or tire noise. The diesel engine is a little noisy but not a big concern. The EZ lift tailgate is a nice feature, especially opening with one hand, gone are the days when the tailgate just drops and almost takes out your hips.
