By the end of the month two national party leaders will have visited the Northwest, but neither scheduled meetings in Prince Rupert.

Federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau was in Prince Rupert earlier this week, but was flying to Hartley Bay for meetings before flying back to Vancouver as part of a B.C. tour that included - Nathan Cullen meetings with representatives from Kitimat.

Federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair will be in the region on Aug. 18 with meetings scheduled in Terrace and Kitimat.

CN goes to court to keep traffic moving Injunction will prevent Gitxsan blockades

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

CN Rail has turned to the courts to prevent any future disruption of service by the Gitxsan First Nation.

The Gitxsan blocked the rail line leading to Prince Rupert between 10 p.m. on Aug. 5 and 6 a.m. on Aug. 6, which led CN to legally put an end to any future blockades.

“CN applied for, and has received, from the Supreme Court of British Columbia an injunction barring anyone from trespassing on CN’s rail line between Smithers and Terrace, B.C., or physically obstructing CN’s train operations in this corridor. CN obtained the injunction Aug. 5 to ensure continued rail service for the benefit of its customers in this important rail corridor,”

“CN expects the injunction to be respected.”

- Mark Hallman explained CN director of communications and public affairs Mark Hallman, noting the closure did not impact rail movements during that time.

“CN expects the injunction to be respected. At this time there has been no attempt to interfere or halt CN operations in the area.”

The blocking of the line came following eviction orders served to CN, forestry operators and the sport fishing industry by the Gitxsan as a dispute surrounding land claims between the First Nation and the federal and provincial

governments continue.

The Gitxsan allege portions of their territory were offered to the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum bands and say those lands must be removed. The parties met on Aug. 4, but Gitxsan negotiator Gwaans (Beverley Clifton Percival) said no plan to withdraw those offers was presented.

“Minister Rustad claims they are working with the Gitxsan on this, yet we have received what amounts to a non-response to our solution to the impasse. This is why the reconciliation process is not working in British Columbia. Despite court rulings there seems to be no willingness to follow the law,” she said.

Prince Rupert Port Authority manager of corporate communications Michael Gurney said port operations were not impacted, but the organization was keeping an eye on the dispute.

Pay for Gitga’at council released Others outstanding

BY SHAUN THOMAS HARTLEY BAY / The Northern View

Along with Old Massett Village Council, remuneration for leaders of the Gitga’at Nation of Hartley Bay have been released through the First Nations Financial Transparency Act. The report, which was prepared on July 29, shows Gitga’at Chief Councillor Arnold Clifton received $43,200 in honoraria during the past year, which was coupled with $14,484 in expenses.

All four councillors received $18,000 in honoraria, but expenses varied greatly. Coun.

Kyle Clifton claimed expenses of $6,803 and Coun. Marven Robinson claimed expenses of $9,671, while Coun. Cameron Hill claimed expenses of $16,260 and Coun. Bruce Reece topped all council expenses with $30,252 claimed.

As of Monday morning, reports had yet to be posted from the Lax Kw’alaams Band, Metlakatla Band, Gitxaala Band and Skidegate Band, On Aug. 6, the federal government has warned First Nations throughout the country that failure to report financial statements within 120 days could risk losing government funding.

MP: Visits show importance of region CULLEN from Page A1 Mulcair’s trip also includes travelling down the Douglas Channel to visit Hartley Bay. Skeena – Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen said the original plans for Mulcair’s visit did include Prince Rupert, but those plans had to be scrapped.

“This is something we have been working on for quite a while and obviously there was a lot of interest around the Enbridge Northern Gateway and the proposed route.

Originally we had planned a circle

route, but the logistics got in the way of the transportation and time available to us,” he said.

“But Tom and I have spoken for years about coming up to Prince Rupert and going to Haida Gwaii and some of the coastal communities, but it’s just been a matter of time ... he’ll get here, I have no doubt of it at all.”

Nevertheless Cullen, who celebrated one decade as the MP of the region this year, said these kinds of visits show just how important the the Skeena – Bulkley Valley riding is to the country.

“As compared to 10 years ago when I first got elected, the difference in Ottawa and the national media with respect to the Northwest is night and day. People know where we are, they know it is important what is going on here and we expect all national leaders to be visiting and spending time much like they do in places like Fort McMurray or any of the other centres,” he said.

“It’s not necessarily a vote-rich country, but it is certainly resource rich and politically significant for anyone hoping to form government.”

Is your clock Inaugural Kidney Walk a hit running fast?

More than

BY JOSH MASSEY PRINCE RUPERT / Black Press

$1,500 raised

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL

If you’ve noticed some clocks running fast this week, you’re not in a time warp or going crazy.

The Northwest had been taken off the usual BC Hydro electricity grid for 10 to 12 hours per day so maintenance could be done on the 500kV power lines from Prince George to Terrace.

While workers were doing this maintenance, the Northwest got its power from Rio Tinto Alcan, which runs on a faster frequency, said BC Hydro spokesperson Bob Gammer.

The frequency runs on 60 hertz at BC Hydro but the Rio Tinto frequency is 60.3 hertz, which is just enough to make electric clocks show a difference of 18 seconds per hour, he said.

“Yes, clocks are running a few minutes fast. It’s not every clock, it’s just those simple electric clocks that are plugged into the wall so they are running a few minutes fast per day while we have islanded the Northwest from the rest of the B.C. grid,” said Gammer.

Maintenance goes on for 10 to 12 hours per day and when workers were done for the day, the regular lines were switched back on.

Simple clocks that are affected have to be reset back to the correct time.

The Northwest is now back on the normal BC Hydro grid.

When Teri Forster moved from Terrace to Prince Rupert, she received a request from the Kidney Foundation of Canada to help organize the city’s first ever formal Kidney Walk.

She agreed wholeheartedly and has received positive feedback from the community with volunteers and participants raising more than $1,500 for this year’s inaugural Kidney Walk in B.C. “I used to work at the dialysis unit [in Terrace] and I volunteered with the Kidney Foundation there,” said Forster.

“Not only have I worked in the unit and seen the struggles people go through living in the north and dealing with kidney disease, having to travel for medical appointments or even move completely out of your home community. My cousin’s husband is actually in kidney failure and he’s been waiting a few years for a transplant. It’s a long list.”

Approximately a dozen participants took part on the 2.5 kilometre walk around Patullo Field, which translates to seven laps, in the wind and pouring

“We’re hoping to expand that to make it also include a run and possibly a paddle boat [course] in the future,” she said.

One in 10 Canadians have kidney disease, an illness with no cure and is undetectable in its early stages.

Currently, there are 500 people on the kidney transplant wait list, and some will die before they are treated, explains the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

to fill out a form online and talk to your family about what your wishes are because if something were to happen, your family would also have a say in it and if they don’t know that you want to be an organ donor, then they’re not really going to make that choice for you,” said Forster.

“We’ve had a lot of really wonderful people come out and we’re having a great time. I’m very impressed with the number of volunteers we’ve had,” she added.

Ambulance a state of emergency

I

magine, if you will, walking through the door to find a loved one going through a medical emergency.

You rush to the phone and, as everyone is taught, call 911 – a call that could be the difference between life and death. But instead of hearing the sirens of a rushing ambulance, the only sound that fills the air is complete and total silence.

Because there is no ambulance coming.

There are no paramedics on duty today, so the fastest emergency response will take more than an hour to arrive.

By then it may be too late, and moving your loved one may not be an option. So what do you do?

It’s a question Shaun Thomas nobody should ever have to face in a country like Canada and yet that is the reality that has been facing the people of Queen Charlotte and Skidegate throughout the past several years when they were faced with days of no service and days of ambulance availability for a very short window of time.

It’s obvious the system is failing the people of Haida Gwaii and failing them horribly.

Much like numerous decisions made in the offices of Victoria, what works throughout much of the province does not work in a small, remote area such as the islands. The population isn’t there and the training resources aren’t there, but that does not mean Haida Gwaii should get any less of a service than other parts of B.C. Rather than simply point to how well the system works elsewhere or say “we’re aware of the situation”, provincial leaders need to step up and fix it. And not later, they need to fix it now.

Be real leaders.

There are undoubtedly some tough choices to be made for a resolution to be found and the solution will probably not fall within the budgetary or procedural guidelines of the B.C. Ambulance Service.

But when it makes the difference between life and death, budget and procedure can, and certainly should, be thrown out the window.

Editor: Re: Mountians out of mole hills, July 30 Northern View.

“You can’t point to the grounding of the Amakusa Island as a reason to oppose tanker traffic anymore than you can point to a fender-bender as a reason not to drive”.

If someone had three car accidents in three years, I’d be worried.

The port, while planning for the possibility of an oil terminal on Ridley Island, recently had a risk assessment done which gave predictions for “oil spills” and for “incidents”. “Incidents” are basically freighter fender-benders. They got it so wrong that some people can’t help but smile when they look at the half sunk Amakusa Island.

One woman on the Atlin dock winked at me and pointed: “That’s impossible!”

“Based on current traffic levels and vessel mix, and after adjusting for local factors, a commercial vessel incident could be expected at a frequency of once every 23 years” reads the Prince Rupert Port Authority Marine Risk Assessment.

Is it possible that this “one in 23 years” prediction is correct? In January 2012 the container ship, the Cosco Yokohama was hit by a rogue wave in Dixon Entrance. It nearly capsized and lost containers overboard.

In November 2012 the Hanjin Geneva grounded while piloted and though not officially escorted, a tugboat was only minutes away. Now in July 2014, the Amakusa with two pilots on board hit bottom, tore a gash in the hull and took on water.

accidents in three years, I’d be worried.”

- Luanne Roth The chances of tossing heads three times in a row are half-by-half-by-half. So a very rough estimate of the odds of these three Rupert commercial shipping incidents would be 1/23 x 1/23 x 1/23 That works out to one chance in 12,000 or pretty well impossible - if the port’s risk assessment is right.

If those who want an oil terminal in Prince Rupert think their neighbours are fear mongering and not good at understanding the odds, maybe they should take a closer look at that assessment report. The adjustment for local factors seems to have put it out by a whopping factor of 10 times.

It has further serious under-estimations; it doesn’t include incidents at anchorage, it underestimates the probable number of tankers compared to full operation at an oil terminal and it uses a highly optimistic estimate of the value of tethered tugs and pilots.

Worse yet it doesn’t consider spills at the terminal itself, which account for a third of oil spills which in this case would be right in the Skeena estuary.

RE:PORT

hrough a number of programs launched in recent years, the Prince Rupert Port Authority is gathering information about environmental conditions—and learning to ensure that industrial development respects the integrity of the natural ecosystem.

Together with like-minded community organizations and industry partners, the Port Authority is monitoring issues like air quality and introducing best practices to reduce the impact of existing operations and future developments.

Through a partnership with BC’s Ministry of Environment and School District 52, the Prince Rupert Port Authority installed a meteorological tower on the roof of Roosevelt Park Community School in 2012.

The 10-metre tower measures wind direction, wind speed, temperature and relative humidity. This data has helped create an atmospheric dispersion model that illustrates patterns of emissions released from port activities including ships, trains and other vehicles.

Following the redevelopment of the Westview Industrial Site in 2013, the Port Authority installed the port’s first air quality monitoring station, which measures particulate matter. The station ensures the Westview Wood Pellet Terminal complies with provincial objectives for the density and size of airborne particles. Nearby cannisters also collect dust. Dustfall quantities are measured and speciated (separating wood dust from insect parts and pollen, for example) at regular intervals.

At the same site, noise monitoring equipment measures sound emanating from port operations on the waterfront. The data gathered from this station is informing the Port Authority and Pinnacle Renewable Energy Group about which activities are generating high noise levels. This helps establish baselines for noise levels that will show the effectiveness of future noise management initiatives.

Working with project proponents Pacific NorthWest LNG and BG Group, the Port Authority coordinated the establishment of the port’s first wet deposition station. Funded by the two liquefied natural gas companies and administered by the Port Authority, the station is located in the District of Port Edward. It collects samples of rainfall and snow that are tested for chemical compounds including nitrate, sulfate and free acidity.

As with other monitoring sites, the samples collected at the wet deposition station are providing data that define today’s air quality within the vicinity of the Port of Prince Rupert. This information will be used as a reference for future environmental assessments for developments— and compared against future air quality to understand the impact of major industrial development.

Through these initiatives and monitoring programs, the Port Authority is working collaboratively to measure airborne pollutants and better understand how we can keep our community healthy. Commitment to air quality is a key component of Port Authority’s 2020 Environmental Sustainability Plan.

Heart of our City

To Brazil and back Celina Guadagni doesn’t walk the beaten path during exchange

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A lot of young exchange students may have dreams of touching the storied Colosseum in Rome or taking a selfie beside Big Ben in England.

But not Celina Guadagni.

“Most people go to Europe for their exchange. It’s easier, almost [to go there],” said the 19-year-old Charles Hays graduate.

“Lisa (Thomas, a Prince Rupert Rotarian) had an exchange student from Brazil here two years ago ... and I felt like going somewhere different and I made Brazil my number one choice [after meeting her],” she said last week.

Guadagni got what she wished for, and in June of 2012, the Grade 12 student was whisked away to the land of soccer and perennial festivals, all made possible through the Rotary Club of Prince Rupert and her outstanding leadership qualities which have made her a junior leader at several RYLAs (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards).

Rotary International, a place with driven, motivated, enthusiastic and like-minded leaders, naturally attracted the Rupertite, who thought the energy within the organization was contagious.

“I heard all about their volunteer work. I heard about their exchange program and I thought ‘Wow, this is an amazing organization, I’d love to be a part of it’. The atmosphere was really positive and exciting and everyone was really motivated and I felt like I belonged there,” she said.

Not a day has gone by where Brazil hasn’t penetrated her stream of thoughts since getting back over a year ago, she explained, and for good reason.

While on her travels, Guadagni lived with two different host families, the first of which kicked off her journeys with a heartfelt sentiment.

“When I first got there, they had a collage of photos of me and my friends and family and right away, I knew ‘Wow, this is going to be a great family’,” she said.

At first, it was tough adjusting to the language barrier facing Guadagni, since she had high hopes of learning

Holding a wild crocodile was just one of many experiences Celina Guadagni found herself trying during her exchange trip to Brazil.

some Portuguese before she left on her trip but those plans never materialized.

“I didn’t speak any Portuguese when I left. I was like ‘Oh, I’m going to learn’, but I never did. I was lazy and procrastinated,” she explained.

“A few people spoke English [to me] at first which was really helpful because I was clueless and did a lot of smiling and nodding, but after awhile, I was like ‘OK I need to learn or else I’m not going to communicate with people’ ... so I just listened to people’s conversations and after awhile, like four or five months I started speaking it even if it was mangled or wrong,” Guadagni added.

The Rupertite found herself far from home when she and 50 other exchange students went on a 10-day trip to the Amazon rainforest.

“We were on boats, sleeping in hammocks ... I got to hold a crocodile, it was incredible. And with 50 other students from all over the world, you can imagine I met some awesome people.”

And while Guadagni always knew tourism was in her future, she never dreamed she would spend an entire year abroad so soon, let alone in her Grade 12 year where afterwards, in 2013-14, she returned to play volleyball and basketball for the Charles Hays Rainmakers.

She won zones versus Smithers earlier this year.

“I’d love to open my own business and run my own kids’ camp.”

- Celina Guadagni “I had to redo my Grade 12 [in Canada] ... I was playing with girls I didn’t really know because they were a year younger than me but it was awesome to play with them and I met some really good friends.”

Guadagni, who played guard on the team, had a terrific outing at a game in Prince George, scoring 45 points according to one local newspaper. Not one to normally keep track of her stats, she thought it a bit far-fetched but she’ll take it.

“I was like, ‘Whoa. I didn’t realize that’. I don’t know how they got those stats but I’ll go with it,” Guadagni said.

The Rupertite will now head south to Vancouver Island University (VIU) where she’ll study sports and recreation management for a two-year diploma, with an option to complete another two years for a four-year bachelor’s degree in tourism. The school also invited the athlete to play basketball for the varsity team on campus, aptly named the Mariners.

“I’ve never been to Nanaimo but I’ve been to Victoria and I’ve always liked the island there. It just feels kind of close to home. It looks like a really awesome campus and the program seemed really hands-on,” she said.

“I’ve heard really good things.”

As for her career, Guadagni figures it will involve youth and sport in some way, so she can give back to the community and help others have the same experience she did.

“I’d love to open my own business and run my own kids’ camp or something to do with sports or even possibly coaching on the side, personal training, something along those lines. I love sports and I love kids. I think I’d want to come back [to Prince Rupert] and do something,” she mentioned.

Guadagni would like to thank everyone involved in the youth exchange process for helping her reach South America and accomplish everything she’s set out to achieve before she’s even stepped foot in a post-secondary institution.

“I’m really thankful to my friends and my family and especially the city of Prince Rupert because I graduated and got a few bursaries that have really helped me sponsoring me for my exchange. I’m really grateful to have them and be born and raised here.

“I’m really proud to be from Prince Rupert.”

The 10,000th customer has been almost 10 years in the making and comes following significant investments to improve the service.

Since 2005, Holkestad notes the company has invested $15 million in upgrades to its network, including $3 million in the last two years.

While the milestone was significant, CityWest is already looking ahead to more service upgrades.

“In the next few months, we’ll be making some exciting announcements about some new projects that will bring our customers even more innovative products,” said Holkestad.

“We’re also looking forward to meeting our 20,000th Internet customer in the years to come.”

AND SAVE!

Four scripted shorts kicked things off before the intermission. The first of which, Rafunzel, took a classic tale and turned it on its golden head with a prince, who, in order to rescue and propose to his true love, must endure spilled tea, dog slobber, and bee stings.

Spiderella was next, taking Cinderella and bugging it out with lady bugs and arachnids.

Goldilocks and the Three Bull Frogs was featured next, with swapped lily pads for beds.

The Cheetah and the Sloth twisted the Tortoise and the Hair into a wild ride with an overconfident cheetah, bearing a driver’s license beating the sloth. But since cars aren’t allowed, the slower sloth took home the prize and the crowd’s affection.

The Wiz of Rainbow City wrapped things up with an improv telling of Dorothy and Toto who must overcome the wicked witch of Cow Bay and her minions to get back home.

The Prince Rupert Womens Cancer Support Group would like to say

To Green Island Lawn and Garden for donating his time to weeding, planting and maintaining the garden at the entrance to the hospital. The garden is dedicated to women living with cancer and who have lost their lives to cancer.

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The cast of last year’s Digby Towers returned to the stage to continue the story of the buildings’ quirky tenants in Digby Towers II: Off the Rails.

In the excitement of finding out he’s been nominated for “Best Elevator Man – Pacific Northwest Region, Open Cage�, Randy (David Smook) vacates his post to share the news, leaving Dr. Herman (Michael Gurney) to make his way to the basement himself. Unfortunately Dr. Herman flicks the lever too much and crashes into the basement.

With no word or sight from his roommate, Doug (Jeff Bill) fears Dr. Herman has gone missing and begins a frantic search. Dr. Herman’s disappearance also worries Randy’s wife Priscilla (Leah Jowe), who needs

the missing man as part of the board of her daycare in light of a pending visit from a daycare inspector.

When a very intricate missing person’s portrait fails to produce results, the two turn to the Hermanvision - a device invented to locate Dr. Herman should he go missing. While the only key is going through all four options on the control, each of which gets a different response from Herman’s hologram, the two only get through the first three before the inspector (Smook in a dual role) arrives.

With no Dr. Herman in sight, Doug and Priscilla use the Hermanvision hologram to trick the inspector, but when Dr. Herman returns from the basement, having grown a beard, with the hologram escaping, the result is a hilarious ending to another excellent episode of Digby Towers.

The Unsinkable Play

Dan the Man

Rob Shearer and Katt Campbell reenact the Titanic crashing into an iceberg.

DJ Dan (Rich Jerstad) has to do some quick talking while staring down a gun-toting Mona (Paula Loroff).

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

You just never know what is going to happen when you show up for work, and nowhere was that demonstrated more clearly than in Rudy Kelly’s Dan the Man. What started as a typical night of fun on the airwaves of Salmon FM for DJ Dan (Rich Jerstad) and technical assistant Steve (Greg Loroff) takes a turn for the worse when Mona (Paula Loroff) calls in to say her boyfriend punched her in the face. After hanging up and refusing to call the police, Mona’s boyfriend Richard (Jasper Nolos) calls in to explain he hit her only after finding her in bed with his best friend, being shot at and taking a cleaver to the

stomach.

That revelation makes Dan think about what he would do in the same situation, which raises the ire of Mona, who shows up in the studio, gun in hand, and demands to be put on the air.

Things get even stranger when Richard shows up, fresh from receiving stitches in the emergency room, and not only apologizes for hitting Mona but takes her back.

Between a domestic disturbance, an attempted murder and a hostage situation that ends with the happy couple leaving the studio while the DJ faces off with the police and tries to wrap his head around it all, Dan the Man fit the bill of a dark comedy that proves not everything is as it appears.

Henderson’s Assessment

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Rob Shearer and Katt Campbell returned to this year’s Udderfest with The Unsinkable Play along side Russell Bowers.

Set in the fictional future where Canada’s economy is driven by American tourist dollars, the CBC (Canadian Broadcasters of Calumny) produces the heritage moments to bring those tourists in.

Part of The Unsinkable Play followed a time travelling division on their mission to ensure that Charles Melville Hays was indeed aboard the Titanic the night it sank. Shearer and Campbell hopping on the time

travelling gondola on Mount Hays to appear onboard the ill-fated Titanic, with all three improv actors playing various roles throughout the hilarious performance.

With Bowers’ guidance (and some help from audience members), Campbell and Shearer were successful in their efforts to prove Charles Hays lost his life on the ship, although perhaps not in the way suspected.

The remainder of the performance depending on audience suggestions to show important moments in Canada’s history, as well as interviews with the creators of some classic Canadian inventions.

Lying Dogs

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The world premiere of Henderson’s Assessment, written by Chris Armstrong and directed by Lyle McNish, got the audience into it early with a hilarious encounter between Henderson (Kris Scott) and his doctor (Dan Bubas).

With some unorthodox diagnosing methods, the doctor discovers that Henderson, a quality control specialist, will die within a week. Sure enough, Henderson does just that, right in the middle of a meeting with his colleagues at work (Angelica Jesser, Heather MacRae and Sean Carberry). Up in heaven, Henderson meets Gary Larson (Carberry) and St. Peter (Jasper Nolos) who tell him it takes more than just a laudable life lived that can gain you entry into the “most exclusive club anywhere” -

Toast and Jam

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Sometimes people want to be more than just friends, and sometimes it takes some outside influence to make it happen. That was the story of Rob Shearer’s Toast and Jam. Betty (Kennedy Thorson) plans out a special breakfast for roommate Bill (Tony Duong), including fresh made coffee and a fancy table cloth. The meal, duirng which Betty planned to tell Bill she likes him, is interrupted by roommate Jolie (Taryn Wesley) who arrives hungover.

While Jolie tries to talk Betty out of it, before spilling the beans herself, the heart wants what it wants. What follows is an entertaining show that includes not bickering and fighting, but a crafty

Treena Decker and Nivan Schumer sense a lie.

Russell Bowers moderated the game where telling lies pays off.

The team of Treena Decker and Nivan Schumer competed with Rob Shearer and Kat Campbell to try and win points off each other’s stories. If the team is lying and the opposing squad can catch them in the lie while asking questions about

their story, they gain a point. If they guess wrong, the story-telling team gets the point.

Completely false lectures with five tidbits of true information were also read aloud and if the opposing team could pick out the truisms, they can notch another point. The topics discussed were redheads and witches, driving lessons in hearses and acting under Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola.

Easily the improv highlight of Udderfest, the Late Night “Green Room” Special pitted Russell Bowers, Rob Shearer, Jeff Bull and Katt Campbell against and with each other in the dramatic and shameless performance where audience interaction was not only encouraged, but necessary.

Through a “Whose Line is it

Anyway” procedure, the foursome enacted scenes involving brothers at a mother’s funeral, with one of the bros rolling around in roadkill being the central cause of contention amongst the siblings, a carnival with balloon animal necklaces entrapping two lovers, a trombone party with very aroused, enraged, and overjoyed guests and a performance of Cinderella in less than a minute, with Shearer providing a very apt anthropomorphic mouse.

Liu reaches round of 16 in Glasgow

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

It wasn’t gold, but Prince Rupert’s Adrian Liu and his men’s badminton doubles partner, Derrick Ng, had all of Canada’s – and Scotland’s – attention at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.

Liu and Ng, who had made it to the round of 16 thanks to a two-game set win over Ghana’s Emmanuel Donkor and Daniel Sam in the round of 32, faced the host country Scotland’s Robert Blair and Paul van Rietvelde for the rights to make it into the men’s doubles quarterfinals.

“Even though the crowd was amazing for their hometown players, the atmosphere that it created for the whole tournament was so energetic ... they definitely made everyone there feel like superstars, asking for autographs and hand shakes after the match,” said Liu in an email while in Denmark training for the badminton world championships in Copenhagen later this month.

Despite a furious pace in the first game, and an extremely even score until the last seconds of the match, Blair and van Rietvelde took the affair 21-18.

The 14-minute game featured a

23-second rally in which 31 strokes were hit, with the average rally lasting seven seconds.

Liu’s and Ng’s service game, however, was their achilles’ heel as they won just six points with service in the first game and two in the second.

Compare that to their excellent nonservice game where they matched the Scottish stride for stride with 12 points won without service in the first game (Scotland had 13) and 11 points in the second (Scotland had 11 as well).

Liu and Ng ended up losing the second game in the best-of-three affair, 21-13, perhaps losing momentum from their marginally slim defeat earlier.

“Derrick and I definitely did better as the tournament progressed,” Liu added.

“As the competition went on we had some tough matches against the Australians and the Indian pair during the team stage but still played better every match. We learned a great deal about how to play and construct better tactics on court so that was quite viable to take away from the matches.”

Liu is now training in Denmark with friend and former national Danish team member and top-10 player-turned coach, Thomas Stavangaard to prepare for worlds Aug. 25-31.

Adrian Liu / Contributed

Adrian Liu and his men’s doubles partner, Derrick Ng, fell to Scotland’s Robert Blair and Paul van Rietvelde in the round of 16 at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

“We will focus a lot on the small, detailed aspects of our game and most importantly the mental part. The Danes are very tactical and mentally strong so I’m hoping to pick that up from them,” said Liu. “One of the biggest highlights for me was the opening ceremony. The moment that my teammates and I got dressed in

our attire, we were all so excited ... right when you set foot in the stadium, the crowd just erupted as if we were all rock stars. I must have had the biggest smile on my face as we did our walk around the open track,” said Liu. Canada’s Michelle Li won the country’s first-ever Commonwealth gold medal in women’s singles badminton.

PRFC United falter in OT of Riverboat Days final Wagner’s tally not enough to overcome strong Hazelton side

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

They’ve faced the Hazelton Strikers in the finals in countless tournaments before this one, so why would Terrace Riverboat Days be any different?

The Prince Rupert Football Club (PRFC) United made it all the way to the championship game in the eight-team tourney and their opponents were none other than the Strikers in the men’s open division.

But unlike previous matches this summer, PRFC couldn’t topple their opponents and lost 2-1 in extra time.

“It was a pretty good exchange. There was a lot of technical play at first and then basically we played back and forth,”

said manager James Brown.

“We had a number of chances to win the game, but they were also pretty good at moving the ball up.”

Hazelton opened the scoring on a scramble in front of PRFC goaltender Rampi Gill before Rupert struck back on a goal by Jurgen Wagner, who used his teammates to his advantage. “[Wagner is] a young player on our team, he did pretty good. He had a real nice goal from a header set up by Marcel Barrelon,” said Brown.

A few athletes were down for the count by the final day as well due to some higher temperatures and the wear and tear of the tournament.

“Some of them were cramping up, but no excuses. [The match] just went back

and forth. We had fun.”

Facing seven other teams from the Northwest, the Terrace tourney features some of the best competition this area has to offer. Included in the contests, among others, were two teams from Terrace and one from Kitimat, Gitsegukla, Greenville and Kispiox as well as two from Hazelton.

“I thought it was a real clean game; a little bit of physicality but ... we never had any confrontation. Everyone was there to compete. I thought it was one of our better games of the year. It could have gone either way,” said Brown.

The Strikers scored in the first half of extra time to put them up for good at 2-1, and gave Prince Rupert its second second-place finish this summer, to go

along with two championships.

They’ve won $10,700 in four tournaments and collected $1,200 from Terrace’s tourney.

Along with the United, Fabio Pomponio’s master’s division team of players aged 35-plus fared decently but fell along the way to the finals in their first big tournament.

“They seemed to be in good spirits,” said Brown.

“It’s always nerve-wracking figuring out what your lineups are going to be especially when you slap together a team, but we tried to help them and give them advice.”

The next scheduled tournament for the United is the Labour Day weekend competition in Prince Rupert.

Annual hockey camp reaches Rupert

Rockies take third-place, Seamen struggle with numbers at Riverboat Days

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

It won’t be the Prince Rupert Skating Club, the Minor Hockey Association or the Rupert Rampage that are the first ice users of the 201415 season.

The Lou Lemire “Pursuit of Dreams” summer hockey skills camp is coming to Prince Rupert for its seventh year, and Rupert kids are hoping the skills they learn will translate on the ice in their Prince Rupert Minor Hockey (PRMHA) experience.

“Our philosophy, obviously, is skill development and we’ve got a program built around making the skills fun so the kids are working hard yet they are practicing their skills,” said Lemire.

The camp, which runs from Aug. 18 – 22, includes on-ice sessions, dryland training, floor hockey and stick-handling drills, among other sessions.

Lemire divides the participants into age and skill level and stresses that skills and fundamentals are needed to form a complete hockey player.

“A bit of both, you can’t have one without the other so we teach them the skill and then they practice it and then I have some games and fun with that and the kids really enjoy that aspect of it,” he said.

Along with the minor hockey camps, the school offers training with an adult camp and a camp designed for members of the CIHL’s Rupert Rampage.

“The adult camp is in the evening from 7 to 8:15 [p.m.] and then the Rampage are on from 8:30 to 10 [p.m.],” said Lemire.

The school first came to Prince Rupert when a family who had taken part in the camp in Terrace mentioned to Lemire that they should facilitate a Rupert school.

“I thought, ‘Hey if I’m in Terrace, I might as well be in Rupert’. So eventually Terrace didn’t work out and (the PRMHA) jumped on board and they’ve been really supportive and helping me out from day one.

“The community’s very supportive and we’re going to continue to come to Rupert. We get looked after very well.”

The camp is entering its 12th season of existence.

The Prince Rupert Seamen and three Kaien Island Softball League (KISL) teams hit the road to take part in Terrace’s Riverboat Days, and while the rugby’s Seamen had mixed results and were just able to field a complete side, it was Bob’s Rockies that almost stole the show on the diamond.

The Rupert squad placed third in the 16team softball tournament that saw six Terrace teams compete along with three Prince Rupert sides (the Rockies, SOBs, and Grassy Bay).

In the round-robin, the Rockies faced two Terrace teams, one that they defeated by two runs, and the second game lost 15-0.

They also faced a Kitimat team on their way to third-place, and the Rockies’ Trevor Girbav won the evening’s home run derby.

“I hit two out [of the park], and one off the fence,” said Girbav, who notched them in fields bigger than the men’s and women’s diamonds in Prince Rupert.

The derby was part of a skills competition put on during the Riverboat Days.

As for the Seamen, the rugby team could only field seven players for their 7’s matchups, which is just enough to field a team with no subs.

“We did pick up some subs from Terrace,” said the Seamen’s George Baker.

“Terrace lent us some players in every game.

The actual tournament itself turned into a

“I hit two [out of the park] and one off the fence.”

- Trevor Girbav more fun kind of event. It was just Terrace plus us.”

Rupert lost their first match with the Northmen, but won their second in a game against some high school players mixed with athletes from the Northmen’s adults.

Cody Schaeffer, 15, also joined ranks with the Seamen. Schaeffer plays a number of sports for Charles Hays Secondary.

Baker mentioned the Riverboat Days tourney will be his last with the Seamen.

“I physically don’t want to play anymore. I’ll be 34 in October. I’ve put enough pressure on my body where I don’t really want to do that anymore,” he said.

Due to declining numbers, the future of the Seamen rugby squad is up in the air for 2015, with three members heading to post-secondary schools in the fall and only a few members still actively playing beyond this summer.

The Seamen’s veteran Roddy Lawson did not immediately return the Northern View’s messages regarding the status of the club moving forward.

Study shows barge benefits

BY SHAUN THOMAS PORT CLEMENTS / The Northern View

A barge and container terminal operation in Port Clements could hold great economic benefits to Haida Gwaii, but is only economically feasibly if partners are found to fund the capital costs of the project.

“The transportation service (barge and terminal combined) is competitive with the existing log barge services to Prince Rupert ... on an operating cost basis. Capital costs are the issue. On a total cost basis, the services to Prince Rupert ... are at a slight cost disadvantage to the existing log barge service,” reads a business case study made public by the Village of Port Clements on July 31.

Figures show the operating costs from Prince Rupert to Port Clements are $3.96 per cubic metre below the existing barge service when assuming 304,000 cubic metres per year and $3.67 per cubic metre less when assuming 196,000 cubic metres per year. But when the $11.4 million capital costs and financing costs are included, the result is a service that is 14 cents per cubic metre more expensive for a 304,000 cubic metre terminal and $2.69 per cubic metre for a 196,000 cubic metre terminal.

And, the study states, the service would only be viable with complete buy-in from forestry operators on Haida Gwaii.

“Without this acceptance and participation, the terminal and barge system would not be utilized above a breakeven level and would require ongoing operating subsidies,” reads the study.

Cost aside, the report outlines a number of ways an island-owned barge and terminal could benefit Haida Gwaii. Aside from reduced costs and increasing the availability of goods on Haida Gwaii — which in turn would increase profitability of on-island businesses — through the use of a dedicated service, the report notes the project could spur on further development of the island’s logging industry.

“The logs from the forestry companies are transported on log barges. This requires the accumulation in the water of large volumes of logs prior to shipment which therefore requires an extended period of time, therefore tying up working capital for the logging companies,” it reads, also noting the terminal would allow for more timber to be shipped.

“The potential volume of logs available for transport from Haida Gwaii is equivalent to about 32,000 containers per annum.”

The terminal, which would create 58 fulltime equivalent jobs during operations, would be able to ship 145 forty-foot equivalent (FEUs) containers to Prince Rupert in 14.7 hours to be unloaded at Fairview Terminal, with 145 empty FEUs and 5 loaded FEUs being shipped back to Haida Gwaii from Prince Rupert.

The lack of paramedics in southern Haida Gwaii is impacting the availability of ambulance service.

Ambulance service gaps reaching critical state on southern Haida Gwaii

BY MARTINA PERRY HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View

The B.C. Ambulance Service’s failure to meet needs of rural and remote communities received province-wide attention last week following the passing of a Skidegate man who waited an hour for an ambulance to arrive.

The family of Godfrey Williams, a 48-year-old Skidegate band councillor, quickly called for an ambulance after he had suffered a heart attack on Aug. 2.

While the nearest ambulance station was only 10 minutes away in Queen Charlotte City, one of the two paramedics scheduled for that particular shift had booked the day off.

Linda Lupini, executive vicepresident of the Provincial Health Services Authority and B.C. Emergency Health Services, said when the call arrived there was only one responder on-call who didn’t have the training required to operate the ambulance. Lupini said preliminary information shows the paramedic was on scene in about 11 minutes to administer CPR, however it wasn’t enough. Williams passed away shortly after an ambulance arrived.

“I express my deepest condolences on behalf B.C. Emergency Health Services [board], our management team and paramedics on the unfortunate passing of Godfrey Williams. This is not the outcome

“You can’t expect this to be a volunteer-run organization.”

- Carol Kulesha we work so hard for, and it is a heartbreaking tragedy,” she said.

Like many on Haida Gwaii, Queen Charlotte Mayor Carol Kulesha was outraged by the incident. Kulesha has been calling for changes to the B.C. Ambulance Service since 2011, after the community lost a longtime volunteer who had covered most of the empty on-call shifts.

Despite two recruitments being made earlier this year, Kulesha said there continues to be ongoing coverage gaps in the community’s ambulance schedule, mainly during the daytime.

Kulesha attributes this to volunteer staff being paid $2 per hour on standby wages, with paramedics having to find additional income to survive.

“I am eternally grateful for those who have put their hand up to serve.

But for $2 an hour they still have to go get jobs,” she said.

“You can’t expect this to be a volunteer-run organization. You need to pay some sort of basic wage.”

Lupini said the B.C. Ambulance Service is constantly trying to recruit on-call staff and said limited

resources prevents the service from having full-time paramedics at all stations in the province.

“Historically having volunteers on call in the community worked ... That is not the case anymore,” she said.

“We do have to redesign how we deliver emergency medical services in rural and remote communities.”

To do this, the B.C. Ministry of Health has approved adding 80 fulltime paramedics with the enhanced training in rural and remote communities over the next five years.

The B.C. Ambulance Service has committed to short and long-term solutions that will be put in place to prevent more tragic incidents from occurring. Lupini said short-term solutions will come from a working group that will be established immediately.

“This may involve shifting resources looking at a different type of position that could provide more availability and shift patterns,” she explained.

For a long term solution, Lupini said the agency is looking to implement “community paramedicine” positions that would have paramedics work on their training while providing other services in communities, such as working in health clinics.

“We have to create the plan, create the additional training and decide what other kinds of services they could provide, but I think that’s a good long term solution,” Lupini said.

Visit the 2015 Escalade gallery at DrivewayBC.ca

An Escalade worth the wait Cadillac recently held the introduction of its all-new Escalade in the heart of Toronto, specifically the heart of Yorkville.

This upscale slice of Toronto real estate is home to spendy shops, exclusive restaurants and luxurious hotels. This is a place to be seen or be seen in a vehicle that projects the image one wants to portray.

Media guests for the Escalade launch stayed at Toronto’s very first boutique hotel, The Hazelton. As one Torontonian put it, “that’s about the fanciest place in town.” It certainly draws an upscale crowd of rich people, or posers, looking the part.

With a steady lineup of Ferrari, McLaren and other exotics parked outside, Cadillac was front and centre showing off its new full-size luxury SUV to a young, well-healed crowd of Toronto socialites and business people.

On the inside, there is lots of room for taller passengers and 60/40 split-folding rear seats even allow you to stuff in a bike, or large golf bags.

The base engine in a 2010 Kia Soul is a (122-hp) 1.6-litre four-cylinder and it only came as a single trim edition with a five-speed manual transmission. Far more popular is the (142-hp) 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, which came with a five-speed manual or an optional four-speed automatic transmission and in four trim levels 2u, 4u, 4u Retro, and 4u Burner.

Even a basic Soul comes with heated power mirrors, heated seats, a tilt steering column, power windows and locks, wheel-mounted audio controls, Bluetooth connectivity and rear washer/wiper. Moving up the trim levels can add 16-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, patterned seat inserts, keyless entry, dash-mounted tweeter speakers, door-mounted LED mood speakers and all sorts of unique extras to enhance the funky-car experience.

I really liked the layout of the gauges and controls in this vehicle; all are easily read and accessible. There are 12-volt outlets everywhere, two in the dash, one in the centre console, one in the back of that console, right beside the newly added 110V/150W power inverter and there’s a supply located in the rear under seat storage bin on the driver’s side.

The front seats I found very comfortable and perfect for a long day at work. The rear seating positions were also very comfortable with lots of legroom.

Noise levels in the cab, or lack thereof was amazing. This must be the quietest diesel on the planet. It runs as quietly as a gasoline vehicle. You can easily hold conversations in the cab at any speed with no interference from outside sources. It was also a treat to be able to order from a drive thru window without having to shut the truck off!

Remember, when travelling the back-roads this summer, pay attention to the Fire danger rating, follow any camp fire bans, and report any fires you see too 1-800-663-5555 or *5555. Help the firefighters keep their trucks clean and shiny for longer! ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

The Kia Soul is a trendy choice for used car seekers. bility control and 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes come with 2u or higher trim levels. Soul also got a “Top Safety Pick” classification rating, even though it was rated poor in its new “small overlap” crash test that simulates a front corner collision with a pole or another vehicle.

The base 1.6L model got four-wheel disc anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control for the 2011 model year, making these features standard on all models. The outside door handles were also changed (from flip-up) to a grip type and a Luxury trim line was added. This new topline trim added body-colour bumpers, a rear-view camera, automatic climate control, Smart Key with pushbutton start, leather upholstery and a centre console armrest.

Changes to Soul for the 2012 model year included interior and exterior styling enhancements, but were primarily mechanical. Even though displacement figures remained the same, the new engines are more powerful and a fuel-saving (hybrid-like) Idle Stop-and-Go feature was an

option. New manual and automatic transmissions also came with six-speed gear ratios.

In addition to extra power a 2012 of newer Soul’s fuel consumption is lower. The 2.0 litre engine with an automatic transmission is rated at 7.9 L/100km city and 5.9 L/100km on the highway. While that’s a noteworthy improvement, a similar pre-2012 edition Kia Soul (rated at 8.5 city and 6.6 highway) is also a frugal fuel user.

Soul was essentially a carry-over model for the 2013 model year, other than a revised grille (with new chrome accents) and a re-styled “Kia” badge. This was also the last production year of the first generation Soul. An allnew Kia Soul was introduced for the 2014 model year.

Though the Soul was designed to attract mainly attract younger buyers, the fuel efficiency and practical characteristics of a Kia Soul can appeal to any age of buyer - if they like its looks.. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Here’s a summer time teaser for those with designated bike lanes separated by a physical barrier – curb stone – in their community.

On a regular road if a bike flies by on the right, just as you are making a right turn on a green, it’s a ticketable offence for passing on the right. However, these new separated lanes seem to have given cyclists a false sense of security because they ignore the rule. They just assume drivers will yield the right of way as they zip by.

Original Mini Cooper Yet another version of the popular Mini is out and selling for around $120.

What? – Well, it is a LEGO brick replica of the original Cooper Mk VII, produced between August 1997 and July 1998. That was the last generation of the original very mini-Mini, which was soon replaced by the Mini on steroids When I got mine, that BMW now produces it had authentic very profitably.

Interestingly, the price tag woodworm in the for the beautifully crafted bits that made it “toy” is about the same look like a mini as I paid for my used 1966 Brit version of the Mini Countryman Mark II Woodies that were back in 1974.

The LEGO version bears so popular on this many authentic details, side of the Atlantic at from the classic green the time. and white color scheme Keith Morgan with white wing mirrors and racing stripes. When I got mine, it had authentic woodworm in the bits that made it look like a mini Brit version of the Woodies that were so popular on this side of the Atlantic at the time.

Dad suggested we strip out the wood but the garage guy thought the whole darn thing might fall apart if we did. Oh, brother! My dad, as a model plane painter of some repute, bought a few cans of paint and carefully painted the wood black. Then he hand painted the rest of the body blue. Couldn’t see a brush stroke when he had finished.

The model has doors, hood and trunk that open – more than you could say for mine on many occasions.

Sporty fog lights are featured as well as a detailed four-cylinder engine – transversely mounted, of course.

There’s also separate spare tire compartment. Had one of those to house a spare that was as bald as I am now.

You can even remove the roof to access a tan colored interior with patterned seats, veneer-style dashboard, turning steering wheel, and moving gearshift and handbrake. I had a hole in my roof at one point but the only thing that came through it was rain, by the bucketful.

This Cooper model measures more than 11cm in height, stretches 25cm in length and is about 14cm wide. Dimensionally it doesn’t sound much smaller that my real live, constantly stalling machine.

Revved up for X-citement Austin, TX – The thermostat is flying north of 30 degrees Celsius, but luckily, there’s a bit of a breeze.

Thousands of individuals have gathered at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) track despite the heat.

To beat that heat, what used to be a decorative fountain or centerpiece for the venue is now a cool-down hotspot. People are splashing around in this sizeable, converted “swimming pool” while security guards idly stand by and make sure no one gets too crazy.

Aside from long lineups for cold beverages and minimal spots out of the sun, the “pool” is an ideal place

to ward off heatstroke. However, you won’t catch me inside! I’m almost 100 percent sure it’s not chlorinated, or cleaned. Nor do I have a change of clothes.

In between events, the people watching is at a premium. I could sit at any given spot and be thoroughly entertained at the cross section of society that walked through the gates.

The crowd, unlike many other sporting events, is younger. It’s comprised mainly of Gen Xers and Ys. But there’s room for everyone.

As dictated by this year’s fashionable trends, girls wear shorts that barely cover their bottoms, and the guys don’t seem to oppose it. Those of legal drinking age cherish their ice-cold beer and drink it like it’s their last. Though they have one more in their other hand.

They’re not about to wait another half hour for more.

Sitting in the bleachers, that aforementioned breeze is both a blessing and a curse.

A blessing because it feels so good against the skin.

But a curse because if the wind is blowing faster than 25 mph (or around that speed), the athletes can’t compete in the Moto X Freestyle; an event I’ve been dying to see. I patiently wait for updates on the grandstand screens. After all, I’ve been watching these games on TV for as long as I can remember.

The tricks that the athletes do, regardless of medium, are nothing short of spectacular.

The Big Air contest for the BMXers call upon riders to drop into a massive roll, then jump from a kicker to catapult themselves into a quarter-pipe. While doing that, they execute tricks, and try to wow the crowds.

And. of course. go home with a gold medal.

By Rob Sass 1964-66 Convertible (six cylinder): If you simply must have the first version of the Mustang in a convertible and have $25,000 or less to spend on a nice one, well then you’re likely to have to settle for the six-cylinder model instead of the 260 or 289 V-8. And the six of the ’60s was nothing like today’s 300-plus hp base V-6.

Nope, the 200-cubic-inch straight-six was good for just 120 hp, so performance was leisurely at best. No matter, the six still looked great.

1964-66 V-8 Coupe: If you’d really rather have a V-8, there’s still time to find one for less than $25,000.

Granted, it won’t be a swoopy fastback or a drop-top,

but the basic hardtop is still a pretty car. Don’t expect the highest horsepower versions of the Mustang 289-cubic-inch V-8 at this price point, but nice cars are still out there. For now anyway.

1971-1973 Mach I 302 Coupe: “Mach I” was one of the more audacious names of the Pony Car era, however in fact, its top speed was a bit shy of the speed of sound. But it had pumped up good looks and none other than Sean Connery as James Bond drove a ’71 Mach 1 in the movie “Diamonds are Forever.”

As usual, the biggest engine version has sailed past affordability, but the 302 V-8 Mach I can still be had for around $25,000 if you look hard enough.

There was plenty of excitement in Austin for this year’s X-games. to do this kind of thing. I think my mom is glad I don’t.

Eagerly anticipating the show, the wind refuses to settle. But the riders come out and do a few tricks to test out if they’re able to compete. Yay! Since they literally fly through the air, upwards of 50 feet (give or take), their bodies and motorcycles act as a sail and they can easily be pushed outside of their landing zone.

It’s dangerous and a huge safety risk. The event is postponed. No. Yes, then cancelled.

The athletes who travel from all across the world are probably even more disappointed that they can’t ride, says the commentator.

It’s probably true. They want to show off their skills.

1984-86 SVO: This selection will likely get the trolls’ attention: a four-cylinder Mustang on a list of collectible Mustangs. But the SVO wasn’t a Pinto-based Mustang II or your dental hygienist’s 88 hp four-banger Fox Body Mustang; the SVO sported a turbo 2.3-litre four that made as much horsepower as the 5.0-litre V-8 of the day, a biplane rear spoiler, unique front fascia, and hood complete with a totally cool NACA duct-style air scoop. It was faster and more expensive than the V-8.

Fuel prices never climbed the way that the industry expected, and the 5.0-litre V-8 was further developed with new, more-efficient cylinder heads, and eventually fuel injection, giving it better gas mileage and much

more horsepower with less complication and expense, so the sophisticated SVO disappeared after 1986.

1987-93 GT 5.0 Convertible: We like the 1989 model because it was the 25th anniversary year of the Mustang (which Ford barely noticed). The Fox Body Mustang might not have been the most glamorous body style ever, but it was one of the cars responsible for ending the “Malaise Era” of sluggish and dull American cars. With the 5.0-litre V-8 boosted to 225 hp, in 1987, the Mustang brought cheap V-8 performance back to the masses. Care for something a bit newer? – Love the 2008-09 Bullitt Edition Mustang and think it’s a future collectible.
