Prince Rupert Rampage captain Jared Meers takes the ceremonial face-off performed by Able Seaman Harry Stewart, a gunner on a merchant ship during the Second World War. Stewart, who continues to serve today with the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 27, was asked to drop the puck at the game between the Rampage and the Kitimat Ice Demons to honour veterans in a lead-up to Remembrance Day on Monday.

Floating LNG terminal proposed for the North Coast Partner AltaGas owns waterfront land in Port Edward

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Haida Gwaii

At the same time as construction work on the North Coast is on the rise, the Prince Rupert RCMP are reporting a drop in crime in the region.

Through the first nine months of 2013, Prince Rupert RCMP have responded to 7,108 files compared to 7,546 files during the same time period last year — a drop of 438. Files - Victor Steinhammer handled within the City of Prince Rupert have fallen from 6,922 to 6,517, while rural crime files have decreased from 624 last year to 591 through the first three quarters of this year.

But the quarterly report from Insp. Wayne Maughan to Mayor Jack Mussallem goes further and breaks down crime by category, with most showing declines year-over-year.

Another LNG export facility has been proposed for the North Coast, but this one is quite different from others proposed in the Prince Rupert area.

“Triton LNG LP is preparing preliminary engineering designs for the construction of liquefaction facilities and has identified potential site locations in the vicinity of Kitimat and Prince Rupert, British Columbia,” read an Oct. 29 LNG export licence application to the National Energy Board.

Those plans call for a floating liquefaction storage and offloading (FLSO) vessel to include two liquefaction trains and storage for

“Triton LNG LP is preparing ... for the construction of liquefication facilities.”

- NEB filing up to 200,000 cubic metres of LNG. Along with the floating facilities, the application includes a marine berth and dock to support the berthing of the FLSO and temporarily dock LNG carriers, shore side facilities including power supply, condensate storage, water supply and the feed pipeline

and metering infrastructure.

The FLSO would have a production capacity of 2.3 million tonnes of LNG per year, with the gas being delivered from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin to the Pacific Northwest LNG pipeline to the coast. Triton LNG is expecting to complete the feasibility study for the project in 2014, and says LNG exports could begin as early as 2017.

One of the partners in Triton LNG is AltaGas Ltd., an Alberta energy company that recently acquired 11 acres of waterfront land in Port Edward. The other partner is Idemitsu Canada Corporation, a subsidiary of Japan’s second largest petroleum company Idemitsu Kosan Co. Ltd.

All-candidate Drug-related crime up 48 per cent forum tonight

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

City councillor contenders will let Prince Rupert voters know what they stand for tonight.

The all-candidates forum is taking place at the Lester Centre of the Arts tonight beginning at 7 p.m.

The Labour Council and the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce are organizing the event that will have candidates answer a number of set questions provided to the candidates before hand. There will also be an opportunity for people in attendance to ask the candidates their own questions during the open mic portion of the evening.

Deb Nobles of the Prince Rupert and District Labour Council said all or the candidates are expected to take part in the forum.

“I have contacted all of the [candidates] and they have all expressed interest to participate,” Nobles said.

Candidates running for now-MLA Jennifer Rice’s council seat are Barry Cunningham, Larry Golden, James Kirk, Len Lovering, Wade Robert Niesh and Gurvinder Ranhawa.

The byelection will be held on Nov. 16, and is expected to cost the City of Prince Rupert $30,000.

CRIME from Page A1 Crimes against persons has dropped 15 per cent this year compared to last, falling from 515 in 2012 to 438 this year.

Although the number of sexual related offences remains unchanged at 31, assaults are down 12 per cent, instances of uttering threats is down 18 per cent and assaults with a weapon dropped 22 per cent.

Robberies increased from seven last year to nine this year and criminal harassment cases increased from 12 in 2012 to 15 in 2013.

The number of property crimes dropped 13 per cent, falling from 879 in 2012 to 768 in 2013, but the numbers are up in a number of key areas. Two more businesses were broken into this year than last, residential break and enters increased from 30 in 2012 to 41 this year, one more vehicle was stolen and there were nine more cases of fraud. Theft under $5,000 was down by one from last year, shoplifting was down seven per cent, theft from motor vehicle dropped by 49 per cent and theft of bicycles was down 54 per cent.

Staff sergeant Victor Steinhammer said the drop in crime can be attributed to a combination of things the detachment is doing, including putting a focus on repeat offenders.

“If you have someone that you’re dealing with on a weekly basis for the same reason, if it goes to court they are no longer a concern ... we have some prolific offenders that are now serving time in

The Northern View archives

Prince Rupert RCMP have responded to 438 fewer files this year.

jail,” he said, noting two other repeat offenders passed away in the last year.

While property offences and personal offences were down, crimes related to drugs were up 48 per cent year-over-year.

Trafficking of cannabis was up 100 per cent, jumping from seven cases last year to 14 this year, trafficking of cocaine was up by one case, and the number of people charged with production of cannabis jumped 250 per cent from two cases last year to seven this year. Possession of cocaine, possession of cannabis and possession of ecstasy were also up.

Like the drop in crime, Steinhammer said the increase in drug offences show a shift in focus for the detachment from grow operations to street-level crime.

“Before you go into a grow-op, you have to spend a lot of time gathering information and doing surveillance.

You can spend two weeks gathering

information and lay one charge in those two weeks,” he said, adding legal growops also create problems.

“With street level crime, the officers can go out on night shift and, instead of laying one charge every two weeks, can lay multiple charges in one night.”

On the roads, Prince Rupert RCMP issued 44 per cent more traffic violations, laid 16 per cent fewer impaired driving charges and saw hit and run instances drop by 28 per cent, from 36 to 26.

While crime is down this year compared to last, Steinhammer said he doesn’t see that trend continuing in the future.

“Considering where we are going in the next five years, I would say no. We are going to have a population increase with LNG and other industries coming to town, and I don’t see how we can continue to have a drop in crime with a jump in population,” he said.

LNG forum postponed

Metal pin found in Hallowe’en candy RCMP investigating tampered chocolate bar

By Shaun Thomas

A Prince Rupert event aiming to let Rupertites have their say in liquefied natural gas (LNG) has been postponed.

Skeena - Bulkey Valley MP Nathan Cullen initiated the LNG tour to ensure constituents were knowledgeable in LNG, and had a fair say in projects in the area. The first leg of the tour was to start on Nov. 12 in Smithers, with events in Terrace and Kitimat before stopping in Prince Rupert on Nov. 15.

Both the Prince Rupert and Smithers events are being put off until a further date, with Cullen explaining LNG proponents signed on to take part in the events had to pull out at the last minute because of scheduling conflicts.

“They continue to show interest. Rather than hold the event without the LNG companies themselves, we’re going to hold those two events [at another time],” Cullen said, adding Prince Rupert LNG will be involved in Prince Rupert’s event.

“It wouldn’t make sense if you didn’t have the company who’s major proposal is in front of the community present ... I’m a little disappointed, but these things happen.”

Cullen said he would like the LNG tour tbe held in these communities as soon as possible, whether that be in the next few weeks or early in the new year.

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Hallowe’en could have been a painful experience for one Prince Rupert family were it not for the vigilance of the parents.

Brenna Stanley was going through her children’s candy haul when she noticed an open wrapper. When she investigated further, she found a metal pin had been inserted into the candy by someone along her child’s route.

Stanley quickly called the Prince Rupert RCMP, and the matter is now being investigated as a criminal act.

Upon arrival at the scene, Prince Rupert RCMP spoke with the complainant who advised that they had been out trick or treating on Hallowe’en night. The parents further advised that their child had been walking in the area

of Smithers Street, 7th Avenue West, and Sloan Avenue where it is believed the tainted piece of candy was received.

“This is a very concerning find and this matter is being actively investigated by the detachment,” said Const.

Matt Ericson, spokesman for the Prince Rupert RCMP. Police are asking anyone who may have found something similar to this instance to phone the detachment immediately.

RCMP also say this should serve as a reminder of the importance of thoroughly checking out Hallowe’en candy every year before children are allowed to eat it.

“As infrequent as this type event is, we take these complaints extremely seriously.

We want to remind the public to ensure that all Hallowe’en food items are

Growth trumps NIMBY

A

fter weeks of community discussion and debate, the issue around developing condominiums at Westview Park was thankfully put to rest by council.

While Mayor Mussallem may say otherwise, pulling the Westview development off the table in the middle of the process was unquestionably the right call. The fact that four council members — Councillors Kinney, Ashley, Carlick-Pearson and Thorkelson — had already publicly spoken about their opposition to the idea, meant the idea was dead in the water before it went any further. Why waste the time of an already strained staff pursuing something that would be voted down in the end anyway? The fact that this was proposed for an existing park Shaun Thomas clearly raised the ire of people tired of losing public spaces.

Now that this project is definitively off the table, council will have to turn their attention to the question of where to develop as the community grows in the years ahead. It shouldn’t be too problematic, given the more than 3,000 potential housing units identified in the Official Community Plan. When those discussions take place, expect some opposition from those in the nearby neighbourhoods.

Let’s face it, nobody who has purchased a home with a treed backyard or overlooking a wooded area want that view to change or want to have their peaceful days broken up with heavy equipment and construction. It’s simple NIMBY — Not in My Backyard. It’s a pretty understandable reaction. If someone wanted to tear down the woods near my place I would probably fight it too.

The thing is, it’s tough to fight development in an area zoned for development, and Prince Rupert is going to need development to grow.

While people in town are going to want to keep the status quo in terms of their surroundings, the status quo will not do when it comes to meeting the future growth Prince Rupert is going to need to meet its potential as a gateway to Asia.

So while council got the message to leave parks alone, not everywhere can be treated like a park.

Letters to the editor

Smart meter? Not very

Editor: “The British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) is an independent regulatory agency of the provincial government that operates under and administers the Utilities Commission Act. The commission’s primary responsibility is the regulation of British Columbia’s natural gas and electricity utilities.” Quote from the BCUC website.

I question whether the minister in charge of BC Hydro understands the meaning of the word independent or if he is just filled with his notion of self importance that he will now command the BCUC to do as he directs.

Either way the news that energy minister Bill Bennett issued orders to the BCUC on BC Hydro meter fees deserves a response.

It would seem that “independence” is a word not in a BC Liberal dictionary. The BCUC was ordered not to review the smart meter program when it was first proposed and you can’t have them now exposing the colossal scam that it was by allowing them to rule on these fees.

Consider an article written for Global News

by Keith Baldrey September 17, 2013, Day of Reckoning is at hand for BC Hydro. He lays the financial problems of BC Hydro at the feet of the BC Liberal government.

He says and I quote, “An internal document leaked to COPE 378, one of the unions at BC Hydro, suggests a rate hike of 26.4 per cent over the next two years is required to cover costs. Those costs total about $1 billion.”

But there is another comment which is relevant to the issue of why a 26 per cent increase in hydro rates are now needed. Baldrey writes “For example, the $1-billion smart meter installation program has never been scrutinized by the BC Utilities Commission because the BC Liberals ruled it was exempt from such scrutiny. In fact, much of what BC Hydro has or hasn’t done over the past decade has occurred without any external scrutiny and that partly explains why the mess the corporation is in today is so bad.”

So naturally when Bill Bennett roars that anyone who does not have a smart meter will have to pay $35 a month for meters that are read no more than once ever two months and often much less than that, I have that feeling that I am watching Saturday Night Live, except this is not funny.

Here is why. I got one of those letters from BC Hydro. I don’t have a smart meter yet. My objection has always been just what Baldrey wrote about. It was a dumb idea and a waste of money

“I question the minister in charge of BC Hydro understands the meaning of the word independent.”

- Helmit Giebsrecht that could have been used elsewhere.

An excerpt of my response to BC Hydro was as follows: “No one that I know of has received a reduction of $35 from their hydro bill because they “accepted” a smart meter. That fact makes the idea of a fee outrageous.

“I thought then, and I still do, that BC Hydro was wasting money (about $1 billion) and that somebody had sold them “smart” meters that proved only that the seller was probably the only smart person in the transaction. The smart meters were in all probability smarter than the people who made the decision to waste so much of BC Hydro’s financial resources rather than upgrading important infrastructure.

“Every letter your office or another have sent to me since, I have simply refuted the points you try to make to justify the scam but I never stated in any way that I would consider paying $35 a month to have someone walk the 40 feet up my driveway to read a meter BC Hydro reads maybe every couple of months.

“Your choices offered are tantamount to extortion. My hydro rates already pay for the wasted money in smart meters installed and now you want me to pay even more to force me to take a smart meter by demanding $35 each month and the worst is that you want me to sign my name, something no other hydro user has been required to do, and thereby absolve you of any liability for the effects of the smart meter if such occur.”

No doubt there are folks who think everyone who doesn’t want a “smart” meter wears a tinfoil hat. It is a known fact that those who actually do wear them, see them on everyone who disagrees with their point of view. It is probably true that the meters are smarter than anyone who decides even after Baldrey’s comments that the smart meters were such a great idea.

I guess for them a 26 per cent rate increase is deserved. Some of us, like Baldrey, can tell when we are being taken for a ride.

Photo courtesy Prince Rupert Port Authority REALLY DIGGING IT: As the mining industry returns to full strength in Tumbler Ridge (above) and other northeast BC resource extraction hotspots, Prince Rupert’s Ridley Terminals Inc. has seen a corresponding increase in coal flowing through its export gateway.

Communities’ fortunes linked by coal trade

L

RE:PORT

ocated in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, some 50 kilometres from the Alberta border, the District of Tumbler Ridge is a resource community with a history tied closely to Prince Rupert.

After significant metallurgical coal deposits were identified in the area in the 1970s, plans were hatched to construct a town to support multiple mining operations even before they came online.

In 1981, an agreement was signed between two Canadian mining companies, the Japanese steel industry and the governments of British Columbia and Canada. During the three years following this agreement, the town of Tumbler Ridge—with its civic infrastructure and two mines, Bullmoose and Quintette— were built from scratch.

Simultaneously, a paved road into the area was built. A western rail line was constructed through the Rocky and Coastal Mountain ranges. Its purpose was to provide access to a new coal export terminal designed to handle the 8 million tonnes of projected annual production from the new mines.

That terminal was Prince Rupert’s Ridley Terminals Inc., which received its first train of coal from Tumbler Ridge in November 1983. During the first full year of operating this new resource gateway in 1984, a total of 5.5 million tonnes were shipped through RTI. It was a joint success for both Tumbler Ridge and Prince Rupert.

Soon after this successful launch, world coal prices began dropping. By 1990, mine production was reduced and heavy job losses occurred in Tumbler Ridge, forcing a large number of residents to leave town. It wasn’t until new contracts were signed with the Japanese steel consortium in 1997 that modest re-hiring began.

The turn of the century was an even more turbulent time for the community.

Both the Quintette and Bullmoose Mines shut down in 2000 and 2003, respectively. The impact was felt acutely at Ridley Terminals. Annual shipments fell to barely one million tonnes of coal.

In the ten years since the Bullmoose Mine closure, world coal prices have recovered. Mining exploration became feasible again in the Peace River region, and new mines have become operational. Today Tumbler Ridge is home to two operating mines: Walter Energy’s Wolverine Mine and Peace River Coal’s Trend Mine, which continue to be the primary employers of the region.

Together with several other mines in northeastern BC, Tumbler Ridge is responsible for producing roughly one-third of the nearly 12 million tonnes of coal currently shipped through Prince Rupert’s RTI export facility each year.

After a tumultuous 30 years, Tumbler Ridge is now poised for exponential growth. Last month, Anglo American officially opened the Roman Mine, a $200 million expansion of its Trend mine. The project means their current workforce of 450 will be employed for another 20 years. The full buildout could bring Peace River Coal’s annual production from 1.5 to 4 million tonnes. Teck Resources Ltd. is also close to reviving its Quintette Mine with an $860 million re-engineering project, and HD Mining International Ltd. is contemplating a $300 million coal venture in Tumbler Ridge.

These projects represent significant growth in population, employment and quality of life for residents, benefits that coincide with RTI’s current expansion project to bring its terminal’s annual capacity to 25 million tonnes by 2015.

City seeking legal clarity on former CN lands

RAMPAGE READING

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Kendal Mossini was one of several players from the Prince Rupert Rampage that stopped by the Pineridge Read-a-thon on Oct. 28 to read hockey stories to the students. As well as reading, the players gave each of the kids an adult and child ticket.

With the development of condominiums at Westview Park now off the table, the City of Prince Rupert is beginning to look at future development to meet the needs of a growing community.

But before it does, council will be looking to clarify a 1965 act that saw CN Rail hand over 12 parcels of land. The agreement, signed by Mayor Peter Lester, CN vice-president M. Archer and Minister of Lands, Forests and Water Resources Ray Williston, gives the city the fee simple ownership of the land “subject to the express condition that the hereinafter mentioned lands shall not be used for purposes other than of parks, public recreation, municipal public buildings, public schools, hospital buildings, cemeteries, reservoirs, and generally only for those purposes that are for the use and enjoyment of the public at large and are of a non-tax producing nature”.

However, Mayor Jack Mussallem said the agreement doesn’t necessarily restrict development.

“It could be that the agreement was agreed to by both parties, it was deposited at the land titles office but was not registered with each one of the individual pieces of property. That is under review to see if that agreement does indeed have any force and effect,” he said.

Councillor Joy Thorkelson said what exactly the 1965 agreement means needs to be clarified before development can take place.

“We have to be clear about what that legislation means so that when we are doing things, we are

“We have to be clear about what that legislation means.”

- Councillor Joy Thorkelson abiding by that legislation. If we want the city could seek to have that legislation changed, but I don’t think we can ignore it,” she said.

“The Transition House probably could have been conceived as a building for the public good and therefore fit in with the act. I would suggest that the house next door also was providing a public service, so I think they were in keeping with the legislation. I’m not so sure we could sell those and I would like to be clear about what land, under that legislation, we can put buildings on that are not part of the public good.”

In addition to clarifying the availability of those 12 parcels, council voted to have staff look into a development plan outside of the Official Community Plan and talk with residents about where they want future housing in the city.

“I think that is a conversation we have to have with the public,” said Thorkelson, whose idea was met with quick rebuttal from Mayor Mussallem.

“I am getting concerned that in the last number of meetings when we have come in here as a council collectively, we have asked the staff to continually do more and more things and the staff hasn’t grown.”

Creating a Close Knit Community Shaun Thomas / The Northern View

Christy Allen stands among the wide variety of yarn at Coastal Fibres.

Rupert’s one-stop yarn shop

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Christy Allen is hoping to create a tight-knit community of knitters in Prince Rupert with the opening of Coastal Fibres, the Cow Bay Yarn Store.

Located in the Pioneer Backpacker’s Inn on Third Avenue East, Coastal Fibres carries everything needed for colourful creations. The main room is filled with yarn of every colour and thickness, while the lobby area offers an impressive selection of needles and accessories.

As well as adding another business to the offerings of her already successful hostel, Allen said the biggest goal was to offer knitters a way to shop locally for supplies.

“That was my primary motivation.

I saw a niche in the community that needed to be filled,” she said, noting response has been extremely positive since the Oct. 22 opening.

“With no advertising, just through Facebook and word of mouth, it has been remarkable so far.”

With the yarn in stock, Allen hopes to begin offering classes in the very near future to introduce the craft to a new audience and grow interest in the community.

Coastal Fibres is open from noon to 5 p.m on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and is open from noon to 9 p.m on Thursdays. For more information or to follow the happening at Coastal Fibres, like their page on Facebook at www.facebook.com/coastalfibreslys

Premier Clark names Asia trade commissioner

By Tom Fletcher VICTORIA / Black Press

Former MLA Ben Stewart is B.C.’s new investment and trade commissioner for Asia, Premier Christy Clark announced last Monday.

Stewart will be based in Beijing, but will travel to Japan and Korea to meet regularly with officials working for B.C.’s international trade ministry.

Stewart said his experience promoting the wine industry in Asia will help him in the job. Clark emphasized Stewart’s experience as an MLA and cabinet minister, which she said gives him quick

access to her and other cabinet ministers.

“We need a representative in Asia who is known to have access to power and government here in British Columbia,” Clark said.

“That is a critical part of doing successful business in Asia.”

Stewart, owner of Quail’s Gate winery, stepped down shortly after winning re-election in WestsideKelowna in May so Clark could run in a by-election in July.

He will be paid $150,000 to serve in the Asia trade role, which is about the same salary he received as a cabinet minister before he was demoted to the

backbench when Clark was selected as B.C. Liberal leader. The cabinet order appointing him allows the salary to increase to $170,000.

NDP international trade critic Bruce Ralston said B.C. has two dozen staffers in their Asian trade offices, with senior people who speak the local languages and are more qualified than Stewart.

“There isn’t a provincial senate, so I guess this is the next best thing,” Ralston said.

Stewart said he worked on trade issues in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan as well as Europe and Latin America,

trying to open markets for the B.C. wine industry. That experience taught him “how difficult it is to establish relationships from afar,” he said.

The announcement comes as Clark prepares for her own trade mission to Asia in late November, following similar tours by Forests Minister Steve Thomson and Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman.

After the May election, Clark established a new ministry of international trade, headed by Richmond Centre MLA Teresa Wat, who will accompany Clark on the trade mission Nov. 21 to Dec. 3.

CN, Teamsters NWCC campus trades seats funded reach tentative agreement

By Shaun Thomas

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Details withheld pending ratification

By Shaun Thomas PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A degree of labour certainty returned to port operations in Prince Rupert as CN and the Teamsters reached a tentative agreement in the early morning hours of Oct. 31.

The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference, which represents approximately 3,000 CN train conductors, trainpersons, yardpersons and traffic coordinators across the country, had been working without a contract since July and had warned of possible job action as early as Oct. 28 with a 96.7 per cent strike mandate. However, at 6:25 a.m. eastern time, CN and the union’s negotiating committee announced a tentative three-year labour contract that would prevent any labour or strike action.

“This has been a difficult process that was greatly assisted by the support of the membership,” said the bargaining committee of the last round of negotiations.

Details of the contract are not being made public pending ratification from the union.

Prince Rupert’s Northwest Community College campus will be the northwest beneficiary of a $1.8 million government investment in trades training for post secondary institutions across B.C. Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk made the announcement on Oct. 30 as part of a provincial plan to address needed trades training, and NWCC will be receiving $130,560 of the total to create 16 seats in the electrical program and 16 seats in the millwright program in Prince Rupert.

Virk, who called LNG “a generational change that’s going to change the face of British Columbia”, said the money was in part a recognition of the major industrial development proposed for the region.

“Government can’t do it themselves, we need to work with you, we need to work with industry ... we want to align government investment with trade institutions,” he said.

The money will be used for trades foundation training to launch student apprenticeships, but Virk stressed the importance of following the trades training through to certification.

“My message to students is work towards that red seal. Do not stop halfway ... get that document,” he said.

Gurvinder Randhawa, my family and I have lived in this community for over 20 years, my 3 kids born and raised here, I am self employed in my own business and have been for many years. I have been an active member for many years, Coaching PR Minor Soccer, I have served on Tourism Prince Rupert Board and currently sit as a Board Member of Northwest Community College.

Anna Killen / The Northern View

As Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk and Northwest Community College president Denise Hennning look on, electrical student Kenny Ree-Hembling explains why he chose the trades.

Representing those in the program, Prince Rupert electrical student Kenny Ree-Hembling welcomed the announcement.

“There are a lot of career opportunities that are going to be coming up in the Northwest, and I don’t think there is a better place the money could go,” he said.

“The kids that are going to school can stay close to home and get a good education with a well-funded college like Northwest Community College.”

Michelle Bryant of Ridley Terminals also spoke at the event, saying RTI clearly sees the need to support trades

training.

“I looked at the demographics in our company and I was a little bit taken aback at what the average age in our company was ... we had to look at other ways, how we were going to get qualified, skilled trades people,” she said of the Coastal Pathway partnership.

“As an industry we feel these types of partnerships are important investment into our community in order to build the capacity that is needed for the exciting opportunities that are happening here in our region.”

Coleman remains optimistic despite cautious report Think tank projects “modest boom”

By Jeff Nagel VANCOUVER / Black Press

Deputy premier Rich Coleman says he’s not apologizing for talking up the liquefied natural gas (LNG) windfall awaiting B.C. and dismissed a report that criticizes the B.C. government for being overly optimistic.

“I don’t mind being accused of being an optimist,” he said in an interview Wednesday.

“I was accused of that last year when everybody thought we were not going to ever win another election in B.C.” The minister responsible for natural gas development spoke to the Surrey Board of Trade as part of a panel on LNG. He was reacting to a critical report this week from the Calgary-based Canada West Foundation, which cautioned B.C. needs to adopt “realistic expectations” and understand the case for creating a major new LNG industry is solid but not guaranteed.

Titled Managing Expectations, the report cautions other LNG projects in Australia are further advanced and others around the world pose a threat of competition that will push down potential revenues.

“B.C. is coming late to the party,” it reads.

“Expectations of just a year ago may be tough to deliver.”

The report also notes proponents in B.C. face potentially large costs relative to other areas to build new pipelines to the coastal LNG plants that would chill and liquefy shale gas for export by tankers to Asia.

The think tank recommends the province move fast to outmaneuver competitors, but also prepare for a “more modest natural gas boom” in case the industry doesn’t blossom as fast as Victoria hopes.

“I get a kick out of that because at the same time they also say there’s a huge opportunity in British Columbia for liquefied natural gas,” Coleman said of Canada West’s findings.

In his address to the business audience, he said B.C. has 150 years worth of natural gas reserves to sell that promise to “change the face of the province” like no other opportunity since the years of Premier W.A.C. Bennett.

Coleman said five LNG plants would be equivalent to adding $1 trillion to the B.C. economy over 30 years, making the province debt-free within 15 years and creating a $100-billion prosperity fund for future programs.

He also insisted B.C. has advantages for LNG, among them its shipping proximity to Asia and the cool temperatures of the

north coast, which mean cheaper costs to supercool natural gas compared to hot climates like Perth, Australia.

Coleman said a partnership led by Shell on a potential Kitimat LNG plant will see $1 billion spent just in the process of making the final investment decision.

The nearby Chevron-Apache LNG partnership has already spent more than $500 million and “taken the top off a mountain” as part of site preparation work.

“These guys are spending real money in real places and they’re dead serious about being here,” he said of the various proponents.

He said the capital investment for five plants could hit $100 billion, far exceeding the biggest recent private investment

of the new $3.3 billion RioTinto Alcan aluminum smelter in Kitimat, and creating more than 100,000 jobs.

That work can extend across the province, Coleman said, noting remote camps are already being built by Britco at its plants in Langley and Agassiz.

Trades training to fit the future needs are a major challenge – presuming the projects go ahead.

A key to ensuring they do, Coleman said, is assuring foreign proponents that they will have business certainty in B.C. The government will soon decide its tax and royalty structure and Coleman said that will be legislated to assure operators that it’s “written in stone” and no future government will try to extract more money from them.

Rampage fall short against Ice Demons Kitimat comes back from two goal deficit

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Rampage played host to the Kitimat Ice Demons on Saturday night, and fell short of picking up the win in a close, hard-fought game.

The Rampage opened the scoring to the delight of the home fans as Kendal Stace-Smith fired a hard slapshot from the top of the circle that got by Thomas Mildenberger with 13:48 on the clock. The two teams exchanged chances for the next 10 minutes, including Colby Hogman making a big save after a turnover at the side of the net left the Rupert netminder one-onone with the Demons offence, but Rupert made it a two goal lead with five minutes left when Travis Helland blasted a slapper from just inside the blue line that beat Mildenberger glove-side. The joy was shortlived, however, as just 20 seconds later Terry Whelan put one past the pads of Hogman from a bad angle, and the first ended with a 2-1 Rampage lead.

There were physical fireworks early in the second when Kitimat took exception to a Jared Meers hit and all 10 skaters mixed it up along the boards. It took several minutes to clear up the commotion, but the result was Meers and Jared Davis being ejected from the game, Kitimat’s Jordan Goncalves being ejected, and a three minute Kitimat powerplay that followed two minutes of four-on-four action. After killing the penalty and a penalty that immediately followed, the Rampage had a two minute 5-on-3 opportunity but were unable to capitalize and both teams had their opportunities during the period, including Mildenberger shutting down a Kory Movold breakaway. While it looked like Prince Rupert would take the lead into the second, Jeff Mildenberger put a spinning backhand through Hogman’s five-hole with just 10.3 seconds left to tie things up with 20 minutes to play.

Kitimat completed the comeback just 28 seconds into the third as Blaine Markwart out-waited Hogman and went top shelf over the downed goalie. Things exploded on the ice again with 5:06 to play as a Demon player snowed Hogman after the whistle resulting in two fights as Kitimat’s Nick Markowsky and Ben Rumley squared off with Prince Rupert’s Brian Tates and Travis Helland respectively. With the clock winding down, the Rampage pulled their goalie for the extra attacker but couldn’t put home the tying goal to fall to Kitimat 3-2.

“We had a lot of neutral zone turnovers in the first and in the second we didn’t get a shot off until about four minutes in. We were on the powerplay for a lot of the game, but we just couldn’t get the shots off,” said Rampage president Ron German, who was behind the bench for the game, adding the team could have played

Shaun Thomas / The Northern View

Prince Rupert’s Travis Helland can only look on as Blaine Markwart scores the game winning goal over a downed Colby Hogman. The Ice Demons beat the Rampage 3-2 on Saturday night.

“We should have capitalized on our opportunities” - Kory Movold more physical.

“We should have capitalized on our opportunities, that had to be the difference. We had a lot of chances, we just couldn’t capitalize,” said assistant captain Kory Movold.

The Rampage now sit alone at the bottom of the CIHL rankings with one win in six games. Both German and Movold say the slow start to the season has to do with losing players to injury.

“We just have to get healthy. When we get the full roster back, you are going to see quite a difference,” said German.

Next up for the team is a road trip this weekend to play both the Quesnel Kangaroos and the Williams Lake Stampeders, teams that are numbers one and two in the CIHL eastern conference.

“We’ve played Quesnel before so we know what we’re in for. We haven’t played Williams Lake yet, but I expect a tough, physical game,” said Movold.

Around the League Before making the trip to Prince Rupert, the Kitimat Ice Demons faced off with the Terrace River Kings on Friday night and lost 6-1 Williams Lake was also in action on Friday night, beating the Quesnel Kangaroos 8-5. The Stampeders followed up that win with a 9-5 victory over the Lac La Hache Tomahawks.

The Stampeders now sit alone atop the league standing with 11 points, followed by Houston and Smithers ar nine points apiece. The Kangaroos and Ice Demons are tied with eight points, and the River Kings and Tomawahawks are tied with four points. The Rampage are in the CIHL basement with two points.

Slubowski shuts down Colorado

GREAT SAVE

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Prince Rupert Minor Hockey product Frank Slubowski continues to impress at the University of Western Michigan, helping the Broncos secure back-to-back wins against Colorado College this weekend.

When the two teams faced off on Friday night, Slubowski turned away 29 of 31 shots to give the Broncos the 3-2 victory, the team’s first win in National Collegiate Hockey Conference competition.

“I think it took awhile for us to get our feet moving. I know I didn’t like my start. Going in to the second period we knew we needed to move our feet and stay positive on the bench. It shows a lot about our leadership that we were able to come back like that,” he said following the win.

“It’s a great start for our team. Every team in this league is tough and it’s great for us to come out like this.”

The next night, Slubowski repeated his 29 save performance to complete the sweep as the

Harlem Crowns coming to town Taking on the Rainmakers

By Shaun Thomas PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

After three years playing junior hockey in the interior, Prince Rupert Minor Hockey product Brayden Horcoff is leaving the interior.

Horcoff, who started the year with the Princeton Posse after winning the 2012/2013 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League championship with the Castlegar Rebels, was part of a multiplayer trade that will send the 19 year old to Vancouver Island and the Campbell River Storm.

“I’m excited for the chance to potentially win another league championship,” Horcoff said when asked about joining the Storm.

“I expect to bring a physical, gritty style of play to the table, a personal goal I’d like to achieve is to get onto the BCHL Island teams’ radar for call up, and this organization helps make that happen,” he stated.

Horcoff has nine points in 12 games this year with the Posse, and Storm associate coach Stefan Jensen said he should bring a different dynamic to the 8-6-1 team.

“Adding a player like Horcoff is huge in terms of success later on in the season and into the playoffs. He brings a physical element and a high compete level down the middle of the ice,” he said.

Horcoff was scheduled to make his Vancouver Island debut last Friday against the Nanaimo Buccaneers.

The Charles Hays Secondary School Rainmakers are use to facing some tough competition from other schools in the region, but on Nov. 15 they will have their hands full when they tip off with the world renowned Harlem Crowns.

The Crowns, started in the 1950s by former Harlem Globetrotter Chico Burrell, choose the players out of applicants from across the country.

Brave “beauties” hitting the stage for Mz. Judged PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Thirteen beautiful “ladies” will be competing for the title of Mz.. Judged 2013 later this week.

The North Coast Transition Society is putting on the event to help raise funds for the Transition House, a safe haven for women and children who are survivors of violence. The event helps raise money and awareness about a serious issue, in a fun way.

“It’s guaranteed laughs, and a guaranteed great time,” Grainne Barthe of the North Coast Transition Society said.

Mz.Judged will follow the standard beauty pageant format, with the 13 contestants competing in evening gown, talent and bikini portions of the show.

The top five “girls” will face off in a final question round.

This year’s participants are Vern Barker (Mz. Fit), Josh Brownlee (Mz. Leigh Ding), Jordan Burrows (Mz. Firedup), Gary Coons (Mz. Understood 2013), Tim Dressel (Mz. Mixalot), Rob Gruber (Mz. Good Times), Duane Jackson (Mz. Bee Gotten), Doug Kydd (Mz. Hap), James McNish (Mz. Stake), Michal Sluka (name to be announced), Dwight Stewart (Mz. Apprehension), Chrystopher Thompson (Mz. Ellainious) and Eric Yates (Mz. Forget Me Not).

Chad Estrada (Rudy Kelly) will be emcee of the pageant, with three judges deciding the winner of the mock-beauty pagaent.

All contestants are first-timers, aside from Coons who participated in a similar

fundraising event a number of years ago, coming back under the same name in hopes of redemption. Mz. Understood 2013 believes “her” experience will give her the edge.

“For 13 years in a row I was the BC cattlemen’s miss rump roast award winner,” Mz. Understood 2013 said.

“I think I’ll win because of my ass-sets ... there’s no ifs, ands or butts about it, I feel I am going to win the competition.”

Gruber, or Mz. Good Times, said “she” believes the other contestants are breath-taking, but not nearly as much as herself.

“I am fabulous. I think if the legendary Chad Estrada has any pull with the judges, I might have a leg up.

He’s been hitting on me a lot lately,” Mz. Good Times said.

“We’ve got a few fantastic dancers, and some with beautiful bodies. But no one has the complete package like Mz. Good Times.”

While Kydd, or Mz. Hap, isn’t as confident as some of the other contenders, “she” is sure of one thing.

“There’s some pretty scary-looking contestants,” Mz. Hap said.

“It will be a lot of fun, highly entertaining and something most of the contestants will want to forget after it’s over.”

Mz. Understood 2013 may believe she will be crowned the winner, but she is concerned that other participants have had practice from dressing up in “hot club dresses and make-up” before going to the bars on the weekends.

“I’ve been working hard to bring awareness to issues of women and

violence. Most of the contestants I’m competing against have already been out there for many years on Saturday nights dressing up,” Mz. Understood said.

Mz. Judged is held in November which is White Ribbon Campaign month, when men speak in opposition of violence against women.

“Sometimes it can hard for men to take that role of speaking out, so in virtue of participating in the show they’re supporting the entire cause,” Barthe said.

“I think it’s important for everybody in society to understand the issue of violence against women and children,” Coons said.

“I do get the chance to help a lot of fortunate kids here at Good Times Games, with parents that have good jobs

Mustaches growing as Movember gets underway

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

FRENCH FUNDS Larry Hope / The Northern View

Prince Rupert Middle School French 7 students Kieshia Hansen and Grace White examine old bank notes using the French language. The notes were from former colonies and France itself prior to the Euro.

Prince Rupert men are growing out their facial hair in November to create a better understanding of the health risks men face.

Movember is an international, month-long event where men grow out their moustaches during November each year to raise money and awareness for men’s health issues, such as prostate and testicular cancer, as well as depression.

This year, a group of Prince Rupert men have initiated an effort to get more North Coast men involved with the Movember Foundation’s annual event. Iain Cullen, Gerard Dolan, John Farrell, Scott Farwell and Michael Gurney have created a Prince Rupert team for this year’s efforts on the foundation’s Canadian website, ca.movember.com.

On Saturday, members of the committee were at the civic centre encouraging men to register and join the Prince Rupert team online.

“There’s always been a lot of positive individual response to these types of fundraisers for the Canadian Cancer Society. Together we feel we could inspire others to become involved,” said Gurney.

“Prince Rupert has so much community spirit and generosity. It’s powerful when it’s funnelled in one direction.”

Gurney said as of Oct. 29 there were 19

“Prince Rupert has so much community spirit and generosity.”

- Michael Gurney members signed up on Prince Rupert’s team.

RCMP Constable Sean Willimott registered last Saturday, saying the event is a fun way to raise money for a good cause.

“Awareness is a big part of it, too. It opens people’s eyes to [men’s health issues],” he said.

The Movember Foundation hopes the event not only raises money for charities, but also aims to increase early detection, encouraging men to get annual check-ups and take action to remain well.

While men are encouraged to start growing their moustaches on Nov. 1, Gurney said they can register and begin growing facial hair anytime during the month.

“I encourage all men to visit ca.movember. com and sign up to grow some spectacular facial hair, and begin the fundraising process for Movember,” Gurney said, adding women can also be involved through the Mo Sistas arm of the campaign.

At the end of the month, Prince Rupert Mo’s

Pioneer Backpackers Inn: Think outside the hotel box Working away from home can prove costly – most hotels offer very little in the way of the comforts of home such as a full-size kitchen, dishes and cutlery, open living areas with couches and chairs and complimentary laundry.

When the job requires being away for months on end, the weekly bills quickly add up and eat away at earnings. For those looking for an alternative to a lengthy hotel stay, the Pioneer Backpackers Inn offers not only a less costly alternative but many of the things hotels can’t provide.

For many, the mention of a hostel brings about visions of shared bedrooms and accommodations that don’t meet the standard of hotels in the community. But Christy Allen, owner of the Pioneer Backpackers Inn, has created private room that rival any hotel room for a fraction of the cost in a quiet, party-free setting.

Rates vary depending on length

of stay, but students can pay as little as $499 per month, visiting workers or guests can rent a private room that includes laundry, wireless internet, access to a fully functioning kitchen with full-size fridge and sixburner gas stove, dishes, cutlery and everything people need to make a short-term stay of a month or a long-term temporary home in Prince Rupert.

In addition to more amenities than many hotels offer, guests of the Pioneer Backpackers Inn receive discounts at a number of Cow Bay restaurants and tour operators in town.

Centrally located on Third Avenue East in Cow Bay, the Pioneer Backpackers Inn makes an ideal home-away-from-home after a hard day’s work.

MAKING A RACKET Martina Perry / The Northern View

Blair Marr-Verge from Of Sixes and Sevens performs as part of a three-band show, Racket at the Racquet Centre, on Saturday night.

An upcoming performance will light up the stage at the Lester Centre of the Arts.

Lightwire Theater, an American theatre company, in conjunction with Corbian Visual Arts and Dance will be putting on The Ugly Duckling and The Tortoise and the Hare, shining new light on two classic tales: The Ugly Duckling

by Hans Christian Andersen and Aesop’s fable The Tortoise and the Hare.

The high-tech show will bring a modern twist to both of the two time-honoured stories.

This will be Lightwire Theater’s second time performing in Prince Rupert, after putting on Darwin the Dinosaur in 2010. Lester Centre manager Crystal Lorette said since the 2010 show, Rupertites have been requesting the group come back for another performance.

Following in Darwin the Dinosaur’s footprints, performers will use electroluminescent puppetry to bring gigantic, glow in the dark characters to life in the pitch black theatre, lighting up the entire stage.

Magic mushroom consumption causing concern Masset RCMP remind people possession is illegal

BY CPL. GLEN BRECKON MASSET / Masset RCMP

Masset RCMP responded to 29 calls for service from Oct. 22 to Oct. 29. This included five theft files, four drunk in public files and three breach of peace/ disturbance files.

Last week the Masset RCMP received numerous complaints of people picking “magic mushrooms” or Psilocybin as it is called. Psilocybin is a Schedule III substance under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (C.D.S.A). This means that anyone seeking out, in possession of, and/or trafficking in Psilocybin is committing an offence under the C.D.S.A. Psilocybin is common in Masset and Haida Gwaii, however it is still illegal to possess/traffic and one could be charged with an offence as a result. The Masset RCMP responded to one incident last week in which a youth ingested Psilocybin and alcohol and had to be taken to the hospital as a result.

Over the past weekend someone felt that going to the local landfill/transfer station was too much work so they decided to dump a load of their garbage at the Deep Creek Fish Hatchery south of Masset. Included in the garbage was two cans of paint and a can of stain. These are considered hazardous materials. This resulted in the volunteers who run the hatchery spending their time removing the litter, paint, and stain so that it did not contaminate the creek. It is an offence under the Federal

“Anyone seeking out, in possession of, and/or trafficking in Psilocybin is committing an offence.”

- Cpl. Glen Breckon Fisheries Act to dump or deposit any type of deleterious substance in water frequented by fish or in any place where the substance may enter water frequented by fish.

On the evening of Oct. 28, a bike was stolen from a residence on Northwest Drive. The bike was located a short time later outside of Buds Bar and Grill. There were no suspects or witnesses and the bike was returned to the owner. The Masset RCMP would like to remind people that they can register their bicycles with the RCMP. The Masset RCMP comes across numerous lost, stolen and recovered bicycles through the course of the year. It is usually difficult for the RCMP to determine ownership. If an owner registers their bike with the RCMP it allows us to document ownership information and hopefully return a recovered bike if located.

Sometime between June 2013 and Oct. 25, someone stole six injectors and glow plugs from a diesel electric skidder that is no display at the front of the Port Clements Museum. The injectors would likely be used

to trade for new injectors, as they are cheaper when a person has old injectors to trade in. There are no suspects or witnesses at this time, however anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Masset RCMP. On Oct. 28, 2013 the Masset RCMP conducted a traffic enforcement initiative and set up high visibility road checks in Masset, Port Clements and on Highway #16 throughout the day. Well over a hundred vehicles were checked. There was only a small number of infractions noted which was nice to see from a policing standpoint. The public can expect to see more high visibility enforcement in areas such as school zones and intersections as we approach the Christmas season.

One of the initiatives of the Masset RCMP’s annual performance plan is to conduct bail/probation condition checks on people residing in Masset. This includes conditions such as curfews, and no alcohol/ drug conditions. These conditions are usually imposed on people as a result of a conviction in court or judicial interim release (bail). These checks are a way that the Masset RCMP holds prolific offenders accountable to their court conditions. These checks are conducted frequently by the Masset RCMP. On October 25, 2013 a member of the Masset RCMP conducted a curfew check on an adult male currently on bail in relation to an alleged assault on October 12, 2013. The male was in violation of his curfew and now faces a new charge of breaching his conditions.

The Prince Rupert Salvation Army is expecting to assist the same number of families with all its programs this year.

Capt. Gary Sheils of the Salvation Army said the Food Bank has been serving 250 families and singles per month on average, which is about the same as last year. By the end of 2013, the Salvation Army will have served more than 3,000 families and individuals.

In the summer, there was a decrease in the number of people utilizing the Food Bank, which Sheils attributes to the good cannery season.

“The cannery had a good year ... a lot of the shore workers did quite well with hours and a lot of them are people we serve,” Sheils said, adding the food bank saw the largest decrease.

The number of meals served at the Soup Kitchen also went down in the summer, but both the Soup Kitchen and Food Bank have

picked back up again.

On average, since the summer ended about 4,000 meals were handed out at the Soup Kitchen.

“The last three years have been pretty consistent ... I expect it to be about the same this year,” Sheils said.

With the holiday season quickly approaching, the Salvation Army is preparing for the annual Christmas Hamper Program.

Last year the Prince Rupert Salvation Army helped 858 families and singles with its Christmas Hamper Program, just over 2,700 all together, which was a little bit more than the previous year.

By Shaun Thomas PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Rotary Club is preparing for its biggest fundraiser of the year, the annual Rotary Auction.

Hundreds of businesses in Prince Rupert have once again donated items to the club to support the work of Rotary in town, which includes supporting projects like

the backpack program, the apple program to ensure no student goes hungry at school, the Centennial Park across from the civic centre and much more.

The auction will take place on Nov. 18, 19 and 20, although people can pre-bid online at auction.prrc. ca beginning on Monday evening.

Interested bidders will need to get a bidder ID by emailing the address listed on the site.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project Open House and Invitation to Comment Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Ltd. (Proponent), a wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada PipeLines Limited, is proposing the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project (proposed Project), an approximately 900 km natural gas pipeline from near the District of Hudson’s Hope to the proposed Pacific NorthWest LNG liquefied natural gas export facility on Lelu Island, within the District of Port Edward.

The proposed Project would involve the construction and operation of a 48-inch (1,219 mm) diameter pipeline, metering facilities at the receipt and delivery points, and three compressor stations, with provision for up to an additional five compressor stations to allow for future expansion. The proposed Project will have an initial capacity of approximately 2.0 billion cubic feet (bcf)/day with potential for expansion to approximately 3.6 bcf/day.

A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy and macho exterior styling.

ZACK SPENCER

Question

Rounding up and riding the RAM range

OF THE WEEK:

2014 RAM Roundup

What is it that appeals to you about the car?

The full-size truck market is big business for automakers and a big deal for the businesses and people who depend on them.

For almost five decades the Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck, with little chance they will lose that crown in the near future. What has been happening, over the last few years, is a strong shift from General Motors to RAM in terms of establishing the second best selling truck brand. The rise in RAM popularity can be traced back to a few key changes over the last several years, from muscular styling to class-leading interiors, a refined ride, plus engine and transmission advancements.

I drove the 2014 RAM model range recently, on a beautiful fall day, just outside of Toronto. The “RAM Roundup” was a great opportunity to get my hands on these new trucks well before they arrive at BC dealerships.

Looks A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy and macho exterior styling. Front and centre is a grille that was enlarged, but better integrated, for the 2013 model year. Depending on the trim the grille finish can be chrome, painted or with a different insert. This feature is one RAM owners love so, in this case, larger

is better. Behind the grille are “active shutters” that close at higher speeds to help send the wind around the vehicle to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The same idea was also behind the longer side step, which helps reduce buffeting down the side of the trucks.

One option that I find fascinating, and would seriously consider, is the $1500 air suspension that can be lowered for easier entry into the RAM or loading into the bed. Plus this system automatically lowers over 100km/h to also reduce aerodynamic drag. At lower speeds and for off-road duties, the air suspension can be raised for better ground clearance. Having had a chance to drive several RAM trucks with this feature I notice the already smooth ride is even better and the cabin is further insulated from vibration.

Inside In the past trucks were typically used for work. Today, trucks have grown in popularity because they can be rugged on a work site and luxurious for all occupants. Having driven the Ford and new GM trucks recently, I can easily say that RAM still has the lead in interior design and finish with the Chevrolet and GMC right behind. (Ford is looking dated but look for an all-new F-150 in 2015). The centre console can be equipped with an 8.3-inch Uconnect communications and entertainment screen. In addition, there is a large

Keeping a healthy distance between your car and the one you are following is key. Others do cut into the space but they disappear as fast as they arrive.

Comfort in the car buying process The dealership experience plays a huge role in having that brand new vehicle sparkling on your driveway. In fact, you can’t really avoid it unless you’re buying through a private sale.

There’s still a stigma associated with car salespeople. Some say that as a woman, walking into a dealership has an automatic disadvantage. That’s changing.

Most dealerships have female sales staff on the floor in case you’re more comfortable in that environment.

No matter how good the product, if there’s discomfort or pressure in the buying process, can sour the sale.

If that’s the case, there are always other options.

The product is the same regardless of where you buy it from, it’s really the human element that can make or break the deal. Though, the women I worked with all had wonderful experiences.

But a recent a jaunt was made much less so by an erratic driver, whose actions required all fellow travellers to watch his antics with great care and attention. The young guy at the wheel of a late model Honda CR-V constantly changed speed, below and beyond the posted speed limit. If he wasn’t passing and cutting in too early, he was inexplicably reducing his speed and dropping back in the passing lane.

More than 30 million Corollas had already been produced when an all-new a tenth-generation 2009 Toyota Corolla hit the streets with a new body and chassis, increased interior space, more power and a revised suspension system.

It isn’t about what a Corolla does, it’s about what a Corolla doesn’t do – stop working. In fact, Corolla could be a substitute for the word ‘durable’ in the dictionary.

While the competition has certainly made great strides to improved product quality, Corolla is still the benchmark and consumer confidence in this compact car is reflected in used prices. Ironically, from a used car buyer perspective, it may also be its biggest drawback ... good luck with finding a good used Toyota Corolla at a bargain price.

B.C. trying to revive climate goals

BY TOM FLETCHER VICTORIA / Black Press

The B.C. government has reached out to U.S. states and the domestic clean energy industry in an effort to keep its greenhouse gas reduction goals in sight.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett hopes to have details out by the end of the year for a “modest” clean energy program he promised to private power developers at a conference in Vancouver this week.

With BC Hydro projecting an electricity surplus in the near future, there won’t be another clean power call any time soon for run-of-river, wind and other producers, Bennett said in an interview.

A priority will be energy development for aboriginal communities, which have used small power production to get off diesel generators and to generate new income.

The new commitment comes as BC Hydro continues weeding out proposals that haven’t delivered on power purchase contracts, in order to cut down on the utility’s growing debt.

“We are here to reject the myth that jobs and the environment are in conflict.”

- John Kitzhaber U.S. states called the Pacific Coast Collaborative, to extend efforts to put a regional price on carbon. California has launched its own cap-and-trade system for carbon emissions, and B.C. continues to administer a carbon tax on fossil fuels imposed in 2006.

B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak signed the agreement in San Francisco with Washington Governor Jay Inslee, Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber and California Governor Jerry Brown.

Kitzhaber said more than 500,000 people on the North American west coast now work in green economy jobs, and the region will lead the way in the future.

Meanwhile, B.C. continues its central effort, to develop liquefied natural gas exports to Asia. The province has exempted greenhouse gas emissions used to process and export LNG, arguing that it will displace coal in China and other countries with a less emission-intensive fuel.

Andreesen Sisters hope Facebook will lead to Ellen wins 4H draw

BY MARTINA PERRY

Jared Andreesen of Prince Rupert and Laurie Norstrom of Terrace were the Grand Prize winners of the 2013 B.C. 4-H Lottery.

The draw was made at 10 a.m. on Nov. 1, which also marks the first day of National 4-H Month celebrating 4-H across the country. The winning tickets were drawn by Lorna Kotz, B.C. 4-H Provincial Council member.

The Grand Prize of the two lotteries were two John Deere XUV 550 4x4 Gators generously donated by PrairieCoast Equipment of Kelowna, BC. This is the second time that PrairieCoast Equipment has donated the Grand Prize for the B.C. 4-H Lottery. “We are happy to provide the grand prizes for the B.C. 4-H raffle once again as we did in 2011,” stated Brian Crowley, PrairieCoast Equipment Kelowna Branch Manager.

Tickets were sold by 4-H members and clubs and were in high demand by 4-Her’s and their friends, families and neighbours in communities all over the province. Proceeds will be shared between participating 4-H Clubs and B.C. 4-H Provincial Council. Over $34,000 was raised for B.C. 4-H clubs and Provincial Council. The winner of our fastest ticket selling contest was won by the Cowichan 4-H Community Club.

Two Prince Rupert sisters are hoping Rupertites can help make their dreams of seeing Ellen DeGeneres in person a reality.

Sisters Leah Jowe and Shauna Bevacqua are hoping they can either be part of The Ellen DeGeneres Show or in the audience on Nov. 18 or 19, when they’re in California on vacation.

The sisters started a Facebook page, Help Leah and Shauna Make Their Ellen Dream Come True, on Oct. 21 in hopes it will generate enough attention to make their wish come true.

Bevacqua applied for tickets on the show’s website, and was told she would hear back about whether the two would receive tickets or not. When the sisters didn’t hear back after a couple weeks, they decided to help sway their chances of getting to see DeGeneres in person.

“We had to try to get on Ellen. We love her so much ... people love her, and I believe she’s genuinely a really awesome person,” Jowe said.

“She’s all about inspiring people and making them laugh.”

Both Jowe and Bevacqua work while The Ellen DeGeneres Show is on each day, finding other means to get their daily Ellen fix.

EA? right candidate here...l FindIDthe Ellen channel ... we have a TV upstairs [where I work], so I try to coordinate my break when Ellen’s on, so I can at least watch half an hour of her show,” Jowe said, adding her sister uses a personal video recorder to ensure she can watch the show when she gets come.

To coincide with the message of kindness DeGeneres spreads on her television show, Jowe and Bevacqua have asked people who like their page to post something admirable they or someone else did.

“We love when Ellen says ‘be kind to one another’. Her show is funny, but there’s also always touching stuff on it. We wanted to encourage people to share their stories of kindness,” Jowe said.

The girls’ Facebook page had nearly 300 likes as of Oct. 30, which Jowe said is encouraging.

“Just seeing the amount of people who have liked it that we don’t even know, just people supporting our dream, is heartwarming,” she said.
