We can expect newly designed Ford products in the months to come. At the most recent Frankfurt Auto Show, the American car manufacturer unveiled the EVOS, a concept car that is a pretty good indication of the direction Ford designers will be taking in the near future. We might not be seeing the car’s gull-wing type doors soon, even if the car show crowds liked the well-designed rear doors, which open up wide for easy access to the rear seats. The EVOS was built on a Focus platform and is powered by a powerplant. Well worth a look is the new front end, ABERDEEN hybrid-electric with its highly mounted trapezoidal grille and very thin headlamps. Also, the Ford logo has been moved back to the hood area. According to Ford’s top designers, the era of the big optical blocs is over. The tapered shape of the rear end is also an indication of where the Ford basic design is going. The EVOS shown in Frankfurt was really just a concept car created to attract the attention of the car world, so don’t expect it to see it in production any time soon. We will be seeing some of its design elements on current Ford models, though, starting with the redesigned Fusion, which will likely be introduced before the end of the year. Future Lincoln products will also change, as Ford management has hired a new chief designer, who comes over to them from Cadillac, to give new life to the company’s line of luxury cars.BR

If there is a brand that has really taken the market by surprise, it has to be Ford. N This North American manufacturer has been unveiling so many new cars that NEWGLEN PL. people are amazed. STURGEON The smallest Ford right now is the very modern looking Fiesta, a vehicle that has made it around the world. It is followed by the compact Focus, another international vehicle Cthat is available as an electric car. The popular Fusion sedan has just .N .R SANDBERG . been unveiled with a totally new andEDGEWOOD exciting design, and it is still available as a hybrid or with all-wheel drive. Ford’s biggest car remains theDEVER Taurus, also available TERRACE with all-wheel drive and even as a sporty SHO model. The EL Taurus is now offered HA MIC with a thrifty four-cylinder engine. And, of course, we cannot ignore the almighty AIG CR Mustang sports car! HILL URC H C Looking at what Ford dealers can offer their customers within the SUV-CUV segment, it all begins with the all-new C-Max minivan-type PL.vehicle, marketed with a hybrid or plug-in electric configuration. It continues with the newly redesigned OT W market. There is also the very popular Edge (now Escape, which is about to hit our AY RO AD with an optional four-cylinder engine), the very recent Explorer (with the same AY OTW RFAR FO W optional four-cylinder engine), and the bigger Flex,ELGINwith its redesigned front-end. SGO AN GLA R E NC RYS Motorists in the market for a light truck will F-150, with its popular and EY find the DU F NTL IEF HU R C economical V-6 engines, or one of its rugged Super Duty versions. Professionals in E AR L T. C need of a little van will enjoy the amazing TransitCR Connect (and its electric version) AIR BL or the more traditional E-Series, still popularly called ISthe Econoline. H GALINIS U C AYR Mc By the way, Ford dealers in Canada also FLYNN sell Lincoln products, including the ZIMMARO WILLARD D O OS LOFTING Mc EWEN O affordable MKZ (available crossover, the PIK W hybrid), the bigger MKS, DE the MKX . as an PL A RM PARKER ID uniquely designed MKT wagon, and the mighty Navigator traditional SUV.

Man in Motion in the North Natalie Cameron Free Press
When Rick Hansen finished his Man in Motion World Tour he was greeted with the words, “The end is just the beginning.” He said he didn’t believe it; he was finished and done, but on stage at the University of Northern British Columbia marking the 25th anniversary of his tour he said he believes it more than ever now. “My best work is in front of me,” Hansen said. “When I had my injury I probably would have sold my soul for the use of my legs but not now. It was a hard journey
but more rewarding.” Since the original tour $245 million has been raised for spinalcord research, rehabilitation and quality of life initiative. There is also a 70 per cent chance of some varying degree of recovery for individuals in Canada with a spinalcord injury. Hansen said the purpose of his tour was never to raise money but awareness. He said today the differences can be seen in communities all over and it’s partially due to “difference makers.” The 25th Anniversary Relay, Many in Motion, recognizes 7,000 “difference makers” across Canada.
These are individuals who have made their communities better and healthier places to live. They will also be relaying the Rick Hansen Medal across Canada. Hansen said the biggest improvement over the past 25 years is seeing how quickly people are treated after receiving an injury. Quicker treatment leads to a higher chance of recovery. At the time of his accident he sat for hours before being seen and days before an operation. He believes if he had been seen immediately he might have had a strong recovery. He said he is proud of the improvements

Jalbert was the final medal-bearer in Prince George, and joined Hansen on-stage for the End of Day ceremonies. he has seen and he believes in the science to make spinal injuries a thing of the past. “I believe one day the wheelchair will be something you see in a museum,” he said. “I truly believe in 25 years the newly injured will have a chance to walk again.”
Apart from science, Hansen said, “attitudes are the greatest accomplishments. They mend.” Hansen’s said for him he had to find the humour and keep going, because it comes down to “not just talking about it, but doing it.” And as if a tour through 34 countries
wasn’t enough of an action, Hansen said he is still looking for ways to keep inspiring others. Seeing the actions others have done to pass on his message challenges him to do more. “It makes me think I have to set my bar higher to continue to be inspiring.” He said he was
happy with the challenge and proud to see the relay continue. “Many in Motion is a more sustainable way to make change. There is support from young and old alike engaged to make a difference,” he said. “Thank you for the work you’ve being doing ... you’re all difference makers.”

Old Rustad mill eyed for training DeLynda Pilon newsroom@pgfreepress.com
Both Canfor and the BID group are continuing in their effort to transform the old Rustad Sawmill site into a trades training centre to ensure local skilled workers are available for the tidal wave of opportunities coming to the north. “We met with Advanced Education last week,” Christine Kennedy, Canfor’s director of public affairs and corporate communications, said. “It was really productive.” Kennedy said they discussed the scope of the proposal and had the opportunity to explain the intent of the facility is to provide training for incremental students rather than layer on top of what is already offered. They also discussed the investments Advanced Education has already made in the north and how more is needed. “We want more capacity and programs because they are urgently needed,” she said.
P
The facility will offer 72,000 square feet of classroom space. Surrounding those classes will be a working industrial complex with opportunities for students to have hands-on work and apprenticeship experiences. “There is real-world application access,” she said. Canfor and BID’s contribution to the project equals about $10 million. Several million more will be needed to get the project on its feet and more will be needed to keep it going. To put that number in perspective, she said, there is not enough labour available to keep the Mount Milligan mine on schedule. So one week of the excess it is costing that project because of the skilled labour shortage would pay for a training centre at Rustad Sawmill. If there is no training investment in the north, with proposed projects in mining, LNG, forestry and hydro, companyies are likely to start flying in workers from other points in Canada and the world.
That means a fly infly out economy with no disposable income spent locally. “Then there is no economic benefit. Instead there is high unemployment combined with a high need for jobs. We simply have to train people in the north and keep them in the north,” she said. This means working closely with all the partners involved, which in this case includes industry, and keeping sight of the urgent need for a facility like the one they are proposing, she said. Kennedy said no De Ly nd a PILON/ Fre e Pre s s commitments were Christine Kennedy with Canfor shows the training centre classroom will made during the initial be in the midst of a working industrial park. meeting with Advanced will be trying to access funding has to be accomplished within a Education, however comparably short time period. they did agree to continue to meet from all levels of government. “We need to get on with this.

Hope, vacated by retired B.C. Liberals MLAs Iain Black and Barry Penner. Van Dongen’s defection to the Conservatives gives the party more legitimacy, even though it’s not yet an official party in the Legislature. However, it spells trouble for Premier Christy Clark. The premier has gone out of her way to court federal Conservatives. It’s a move that, despite it’s intentions, may have been doomed from the start. She might have been better off sticking to her more liberal roots. At any rate, van Dongen’s move shows that the right-ofcentre vote is as fractured as it has always been. The challenge of any right-ofcentre leader is to coalesce that vote. Gordon Campbell, for all his misgivings, was a master at it. There was no talk of splitting the right-of-centre vote when Campbell was at the helm. And that’s what is now happening. Splitting the right-ofcentre vote is the easiest way for the NDP to gain power. The two upcoming by-elections will be the litmus test for Clark’s Liberals and the surging Conservatives. Will it be a precursor to next May? Or will Clark toy with the fixed election date legislation and put off next May’s election to a later date, as have many, many governments sensing an impending shellacking at the polls? We’ll have a better sense of what will happen after the April by-elections. Answers can be found in the classifieds. May 2014 election anyone?

CRIME has become NDIME
Natalie Cameron Free Press
A RCMP task force targeting large-scale marijuana production in the Cariboo - North District Region was deemed successful after its 15-month mandate resulted in seizing nearly 11 tons of pot on 70 properties. It also resulted in criminal charges being laid against 78 people. B.C. Justice Minister Shirley Bond and Supt. Brian Cantera, officer in charge RCMP Federal Drug Enforcement Branch, praised the Cariboo Region Integrated Marijuana Enforcement (CRIME) task force at a news conference Friday. “From a policing perspective, the results that we have seen from the CRIME project were very substantial,” Cantera said. “Through strategic and targeted enforcement we were able to disrupt and dismantle the grow-ops. This prevented the illegal marijuana from being used as commodity to export and purchase other drugs, such as cocaine, or firearms.” CRIME was created to work closely with local detachments to disrupt the ability of organized crime from illegal grow-ops after the RCMP in the region identified the grow-ops as a widespread problem. Bond announced due to the previous success, a new program will be picking up where CRIME ended. “We want to build on the success of the CRIME program and that is why we will be providing the resources to ensure that the momentum continues,” she said. The North District Integrated Marijuana Enforcement Team (NDIME) focuses on growops throughout Prince George, Quesnel, Williams Lake and 100 Mile House. It is stationed out of Prince George. “The North District Integrated Marijuana Enforcement Task Force will provide expertise and support to local detachments,” Bond said. The task force will receive additional provincial support from Regional General Investigative Services and North District Criminal Intelligence Probe Team, and federal support from the Integrated Proceeds of Crime Section. NDIME includes members from Prince George, Quesnel, Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, two RCMP Drug Enforcement branch members, and one member from the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit. Unlike CRIME, this task force does not have a time limit. “We expect this to be an ongoing program,”

Bond said. “I’ve made it very clear to our team that this type of enforcement is essential and once you build up this kind of momentum, I mean the initial results are very dramatic – 11 tons of marijuana, we simply have to see that continue.” Supt. Rod Booth, acting commanding officer North District RCMP, said an on-going task force is what the region needs. “By continuing our targeted enforcement of marijuana grow operations in north district we are clearly serving notice that organized crime groups are not welcome; I repeat, organized crime groups are not welcome in the north district.”

The earliest signs of man? DeLynda Pilon newsroom@pgfreepress.com
meal of the creature was by examining the gut lining. McDadi said that Yoho park is the second oldest in Canada, after Banff. “Yoho is one of the crown jewels of the system. It’s open and accessible to everyone in B.C. and in all of Canada. “You can actually go to the fossil beds on guided hikes every summer, and it’s really incredible. It’s like taking a step back in time. You actually get a chance to look at the fossils.” In good Canadian fashion, McDadi compared the importance of the discovery to hockey. He said the Burgess Shale is the Stanley Cup of fossil sites, and Pikaia is the Wayne Gretzky of Fossils. “It’s drawn a lot of interest throughout the world. It’s definitely another piece in the big jigsaw puzzle in trying to figure out the development of life on this planet,” he said.
Its name sounds like it might be some Pokemon character, but the Pikaia’s importance is far greater than its name or size. It was long suspected the fossil, no longer than a thumb, was an ancient chordate, meaning it had a primitive spine, and therefore is one of the earliest known ancestors of all vertebrae animals, including humans. Best of all, the rare fossil comes from the Burgess Shale Fossil beds, a 505-million-year-old piece of land on the southwest side of a ridge between Mt. Field and Wapta Mountain, protected in the heart of Yoho National Park. On Monday researchers from the University of Cambridge, the Royal Ontario Museum and the University of Toronto confirmed that Pikaia gracilens was a primitive chordate. “They’ve known about them since 1909,” Omar McDadi with Parks Canada said. “They may be the planet’s earliest link to man. They were long speculated to be a chordate.

Jago to mediate teachers’ dispute DeLynda Pilon newsroom@pgfreepress.com
The governmental appointment of Dr. Charles Jago as the mediator between the B.C. Teacher’s Federation (BCTF) and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) comes as no surprise to Matt Pearce, president of the Prince George Teachers Association, but he said it is still disappointing. “It’s not a surprise. He’s well connected with the Liberals without a background in labour mediation. Anyone with a reputation in mediation wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole,” he said. However, in a media teleconference Jago said he has engaged in negotiations before, though not a contract dispute, and he has a lot of experience in prob-
lem solving and consensus building. “I do have related skills,” he said, adding a trained mediator hasn’t worked up until this point. “I think I’m the right person for the job. I wouldn’t be doing it if I didn’t think the government was justified in the choice it made.” However, he admits it will be a difficult endeavour. “I described it as mission impossible. There are enormous barriers. There is a sorry record of negotiations going back 20 years,” he said. He said when he was approached to take on the job he first gave it careful consideration and discussed the scope of his role with the government. “I wanted to be assured it was not a sham,” he said. “I wouldn’t be doing this if I thought there
was no hope.” He pointed out he has a reputation of taking on complex and far reaching tasks like the northern medical program and the cancer care centre now under construction in Prince George. “I do have a record of taking on major issues,” he said. As for ties to the Liberals, which includes donations to the party, Jago said it amounted to about $1,000 used to pay the way of a couple of friends and himself into a golf tournament. “I think people who’ve worked with me in the past can say I’m very independent,” he said. Jago said he will be in contact with both parties either later this week or early next week. Gaining the respect of the parties involved and getting a sense of the mandates are important first tasks.

Take a journey on the Silk Road The communities along the Silk Road witnessed one of the most exciting cultural exchanges ever recorded. Everything Indian or central Asian was the rage. Learned monks traveled through central Asia to obtain Indian texts and merchants accompanying them brought back exotic trade goods. It was a commercial network that evolved into a sophisticated cultural communication link. “The Prince George Symphony Orchestra (PGSO) and Immigrant and Multicultural Services Society (IMSS) will reinvent the Silk Road experience,” says Csilla Moffat of the PGSO. “The exploration will take us on a cultural exchange fueled by curiosity and a tantalizing of the senses, that results in a mutual learning experience from which everyone can benefit.” This two-week long series of interactive events will take you on a journey with performers, music, crafts, dance and cuisine. Enjoy the riches these cultures have to offer. The Persian New Year celebration starts on March 31 with the sounds of Navaz who will bring to the stage a full band with authentic musical instruments. Navaz musicians are Neda Jalali, vocals, Eric Tompkins, guitar, Peyman Rohandeh, setar, oud, Mohammad Sayyadi, daf, tonbak, Richard Jenne, drums, Raghu Lokanathan, accordian, Curtis Abriel, bass and Shawn Smith, sax. The setar is a stringed instrument that has a similar sound to a Greek Bouzouki. The oud, another stringed instrument is perhaps

the most popular middle-eastern instrument which has the sound of a low bass. The tonbak and daf are drums of different shapes which create different sounds. Performers will be offering some of their originals as well as popular Persian and Arabic songs. There will be a tantalizing cultural presentation by Zaffron Cuisine, teasing your palate with salads, Persian flat bread and main dishes infused with exotic herbs and spices of the Middle East (also vegetarian choices.) For dessert there is homemade saffron and pistachio Persian ice cream. On April 1, Navaz will hold a musical workshop where attendees have an opportunity to learn first hand about the exotic instruments that produce the lilting melodies of Persia and Arabia. On Wednesday, April 11 a group of lucky women will learn some cooking tipss from Mojegan Sadeghian, owner of Zaffron Cuisine, who will prepare dishes and give ideas for serving them at home. The culmination of the celebrations is PGSO’s The Silk Road concert April 21 with guest conductor Miran Vaupotic from Croatia and special guest George Gao, master of the erhu (Chinese violin). One represents the beginning of the trade route, home of Marco Polo, and the other, the final destination in China which at that time was part of the largest contiguous land empire in human history, ruled by the Mongol Genghis Khan. Tickets for The Silk Road PGSO concert are available at 2080-15th Ave. or they can be ordered by phone at 250-562-0800.

Those arriving at the Prince George airport in June will be greeted by 400 people—or their pictures at least. Public artwork artist Aiden Callison is designing a portrait chandelier, which is scheduled to be suspended inside the arrivals terminal at the end of May. He is currently looking to take photos of as many people as possible who call Prince George their home. His goal is 400 photographs. The display is in celebration of the city’s cultural diversity. To be captured in one of these photos, Prince George residents can go to UNBC between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on March 31 when Callison will be taking pictures. Residents can also contact Kelley Hilton at Welcome PG, 250.562.2900 or kelley@imss.ca. More information can be found on the WelcomPG website.
