Unity seen as key to success

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Following the federal government’s approval of the Northern Gateway Project last Tuesday, hundreds gathered at Mariner’s Park for a peaceful protest against the oil pipeline project on Friday evening.

People of all ages and cultural backgrounds took part in the rally, many displaying anti-oil signs and wearing First Nations regalia.

The event included a number of speakers, with many stressing the need for unity in order to prevent the project from moving forward.

“No matter what nation you are or where you are from, let your voices be heard. This is not about Aboriginal people ... it’s about all human beings in British Columbia.

We need to come together,” said Lax Kw’alaams hereditary chief Murray Smith.

“We need to stay focused on the fight that lays ahead. Enbridge has billions and billions of dollars to fight us. But united, we can say no.”

A multi-million dollar investment by the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) will open up Ridley Island to directly receive bulk cargo that may be needed as major developments get underway on the North Coast.

“Yesterday at the first part of our board of directors meeting, a $10 million investment was approved for the relocation of the RORO — rollon, roll-off — ramp. It was initially stationed on the north part of Fairview Terminal and it will be relocated to a location right near Prince Rupert Grain,” announced PRPA president and CEO Don Krusel during the organization’s June 19

“We expect that to be ready in the first quarter of next year.”

“We are going to fix up the area around there and create a gateway for bulk, break bulk and project cargo to move through Prince Rupert and we already have a customer in line to initiate that.

We expect that to be ready the first quarter of next

The relocation of the facility to an outcrop near Prince Rupert Grain will not require an environmental assessment, according to Prince Rupert Port Authority manager of corporate communications Michael Gurney.

“On commencement of construction, we will review the environmental management plan with the contractor and use best management practices from industry,” he said, noting the port authority has already spoken with “federal agencies with an interest in the foreshore”.

The announcement comes just four months after the 185-tonne floating RORO ramp at Fairvew Terminal began to sink after pontoon corrosion caused it to lose buoyancy.

Gateway defends project as protesters take aim ENBRIDGE from Page A1 Arnie Nagy of the United Fishermen’s and Allied Workers Union said the labour movement will walk along side First Nations in their battle against Enbridge.

“We are going to win the day, and Harper will rue the day that he decided to declare war on the honest, hardworking people of Canada to line the pockets of the rich,” Nagy said.

In order to be successful in their fight, Prince Rupert’s Christa Barette said Northern Gateway opponents must stay positive.

“We need to visualize us coming together and joining in a non-violent way. We need to picture this coast staying clean and pure like this forever and be confident about it,” she said.

Mayoral candidate Lee Brain, the son of a global oil executive who made a powerful presentation to the Joint Review Panel in 2012 about his experience working at one of the largest oil refineries in the world, said there also must be a vision for the future.

“Coming together also means that we need to start moving ourselves forward and figuring out what it is we actually want ...

BCTF, province Housing inventory part of growth plan far apart on deal

BY MARTINA PERRY

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

BY TOM FLETCHER VICTORIA / The Northern View

The latest offer by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to settle its strike has moved the union farther from the “zone of settlement” established by other public sector unions, Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Thursday.

Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, said the latest union proposal would bring the compensation increase for teachers from 12.5 per cent over five years to 14.5 per cent. On wages and benefits alone, Cameron said that is more than twice the increase other unions, including school support staff employees, have accepted.

The BCTF added to its proposal of an 8 per cent wage increase over five years this week with a proposed $225 million fund paid out over five years to settle thousands of grievances filed over the past decade. Those grievances sought to return class size caps and specialist teacher levels that were removed from the contract by legislation, and were ordered restored by a B.C. Supreme Court decision that is now under appeal.

The union wants a second $225 million annual fund to fund ongoing class size and special needs support.

The two sides had agreed to mediation through renowned mediator Vince Ready, but he declined to mediate citing time constraints. The two sides are now weighing their options on other mediators to help bring the strike to an end.

There’s a tsunami of activity making its way to Prince Rupert, and it’s Robert Long’s job to make sure the city is prepared.

That was the message of Prince Rupert’s city manager during a presentation to the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce last week as he outlined some of the projects he has been working on since filling the position one year ago.

“Council has indicated as their No. 2 priority is to get the city ready for the changes that would be applicable with what I call a ‘tsunami of activity’ that may result with some final investment decisions,” said Long.

“It’s important for the city to take a good, hard look at a number of things in anticipation of what might happen.”

This includes looking at Prince Rupert’s population and demographic, along with housing. Long said the city sees housing as one of the most important issues that will arise. In order for the city to know what it’s dealing with moving forward, Long said staff is physically going out and looking at each Prince Rupert home, making note of locations and state, and taking note of how many vacant lots there are.

“We need to know whether or not

“We hope to have that completed by the end of the summer and have a good understanding of what the possibilities are for new development in addition to redevelopment and some rethinking of our existing footprint,” he said.

Additionally, as part of the project the “ongoing challenges” with the tax base will be looked into, with impacts to education and the health system being considered.

CHSS schedule Teachers call for more class support Letter riles shifting for school board pilot project

BY MARTINA PERRY

Time for teacher brainstorming

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Charles Hays Secondary School (CHSS) will see changes to its timetable, as the school will follow in the footsteps of Prince Rupert Middle School (PRMS) with a collaboration time pilot project.

Starting in September, high school teachers will meet twice a month to bounce ideas off each other - Sandy Pond and work on cross-circular projects. While the collaboration time won’t mean any lost instructional minutes, students will be able to sleep in a little longer every other Wednesday.

PRMS saw success with its collaboration pilot project this past school year, with teachers coming together for the last hour of class time every Wednesday.

Feedback from staff was positive, with a number of cross-circular and co-teaching activities taking place throughout the past school year. During collaboration time students were not allowed to leave early, but could catch up on school work or participate in a number of activities within the school.

“We chose mornings because we knew that mornings are not a good time for teenagers,” said Sandy Pond, principal of Charles Hays, who mentioned the project is teacher-driven.

Teachers will meet outside of instructional time, which will be done by increasing class time from 77 minutes to 80 starting in September. Time is being added by starting the school day five minutes earlier and running three minutes later, so classes can start at 10:25 a.m. on collaboration Wednesday, with shortened classes throughout the day.

Another change to the timetable will see the first class of the morning and afternoon switch time slots with the class following them every other day. Pond said it is being done to see if there’s a difference in students’ achievement.

Furthermore, classes in the math department will also be structured differently.

“Our math teachers have wanted to try a flipped model for quite sometime which means that they provide videos and resources for students to look at at home, and then the practice happens in the classroom. Then you’re not teaching and asking the students to practice at home without any support,” said Carla Rourke, vice-principal of CHSS. All three changes will be tested over a one-year trial.

“We knew that mornings were not a good time for teenagers.”

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Prince Rupert teachers want extra in-class assistance for the students who need it.

The Prince Rupert District Teachers’ Union (PRDTU) sent a letter to Prince Rupert School District (SD52) board of education in April outlining its concern with students who require additional support to be successful in their learning.

“This was a formal way of bringing some of the concerns that are happening in our classrooms to trustees,” said Kathy Murphy, president of the PRDTU, adding it was a way to start dialogue.

The PRDTU said by having a ministry designation, students needing extra assistance will have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) in place ensuring forms of support are available. In the letter Murphy said some students have to wait years to be identified.

“Many children, including some who have been assessed, are working significantly below grade level and do not have a designation,” said Murphy.

The letter states “there are approximately twice the number of these ‘grey area’ students as students designated with special needs, yet there is no official recognition or plan of support for these vulnerable students”. Murphy said this estimation comes from an article published in a 2006 edition of Teacher Newsmagazine on “grey-area” students, written by the presidents of three B.C. Teachers’ Federation provincial specialists associations.

By doubling the 260 students who had a ministry designation, the PRDTU estimates there were 520 “grey area” of 2,103 overall students

Martina Perry / The Northern View

Teachers fear students needing extra attention in the district are being left behind.

“The notion that we’re not supporting students is just wrong.”

- Sandra Jones in the 2013/2014 school year.

Superintendent Sandra Jones provided a report on the subject to trustees in June.

“The notion that we’re not supporting students is just wrong,” she said.

Jones reviewed the tiers of interventions in SD52, the first being school-wide supports that she said help 80 per cent of kids, including teaching practices like self-regulation, student profiles in combination with initiatives that embrace a diverse learning environment, assessment for learning, as well as collaboration and co-teaching.

Students with specific challenges get targeted assistance through learning resource teachers, and if they are unable to provide help the district principal of student support services will obtain additional community resources.

“In terms of the “grey area” students, I have to say this is not a recognized ministry category ... I refuse to describe a student that way,” she said, noting labels can become a noose around students necks.

Murphy said that SD52 tries to provides as much in-class support as it can, but said the issue is provincial government funding isn’t covering all the methods of support that are needed, like additional educational assistants (EA) or teachers.

“If a child is designated with a learning disability ... sometimes they can piggyback extra help through educational assistants because there’s other children who generate them in their class. But often those kids don’t generate an EA because the ministry changed some of the funding formulas in how kids qualify for extra support. It’s more about money than intent on anyone’s part,” she said.

Jones said while there isn’t an EA in every Prince Rupert classroom, there are a lot. She added the district will see an increase in educational assistants in the future when more learning improvement funds come in.

Happy hours now legal in B.C. Liquor law changes loosen restrictions

BY TOM FLETCHER VICTORIA / The Northern View

The B.C. government has begun allowing “happy hour” discounts for alcoholic drinks, imposing minimum drink prices that force some outlets to raise their prices.

Effective this week, the minimum price for draft beer or cider in B.C. is 25 cents per fluid ounce, which puts a 12-ounce sleeve at $3, a 20-ounce pint at $5 and a 60-ounce jug at $15. Using a one-ounce minimum, the lowest permitted price for any alcoholic drink is $3.

The release of the regulations

Friday was greeted with protests from some pubs that were offering drink specials below that price.

The regulations also give licensed restaurants the ability to serve drinks without a food order, although their licence still requires them to offer a full food menu. The B.C. government’s liquor policy review also levels the field between pubs and restaurants by allowing families with children into pubs at mealtimes.

The B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association issued a statement reminding its members that the new rules also allow customers

to carry a drink from a lounge to an adjoining restaurant. Licensees are also allowed to transfer small amounts of stock from one to the other if they run out of a particular product.

In a policy directive to industry associations, local governments and police agencies, the government’s Liquor Control and Licensing Branch says the lower price may be applied selectively for “ladies night” specials or “team night” for players in uniform.

Minimum prices do not apply to catered events, or special occasion licences.

Cannery celebrates 125 years PRPA, NWCC show support

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Lonnie Wishart was named Crime Stoppers Civilian of the Year for 2013.

Crime Stoppers honours Wishart

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Lonnie Wishart was recently recognized for her efforts to reduce crime in Prince Rupert.

Crime Stoppers saluted their best from 2013 at the annual Crime Stoppers Symposium in Kamloops on May 3, recognizing individuals and organizations that went above and beyond to make Crime Stoppers successful in their communities.

Wishart was recognized with the Civilian of the Year award for a population under 20,000, which is given to civilians serving on the board of their local program and provide selfless devotion, persistent service and significant contributions to the volunteer organization.

Wishart has been part Prince Rupert’s Crime Stoppers for about five years, and has enjoyed every moment of it.

“It doesn’t feel like I do work. There’s a great group of people on the board who are a lot of fun and are open to new ideas,” she said.

“I don’t feel like it’s my award, I feel like it’s all of ours because it takes the whole group.”

Prince Rupert RCMP spokesperson Const.

Matt Ericson said the detachment is thankful of Wishart’s efforts and congratulates the volunteer on her acknowledgement.

“Throughout the 2013 year Lonnie dedicated herself tirelessly to the Prince Rupert Crime Stoppers Program, and has done a phenomenal job. Through her enthusiasm, drive and creative talents Lonnie has designed Crime Stoppers shirts for youth, school poster contests, and had a leading role in developing a Crime Stoppers promotional video,” said Ericson.

Wishart said the group is running low on funds in its coffers, currently having about $1,500 in its coffers. The average tip payout is $400 but can reach up to $2,000.

“Everything we do comes from fundraising efforts,” she said.

In the future the local Crime Stoppers unit wants to raise more awareness among young people and in surrounding communities.

Volunteers hope to erect signage in six First Nations villages, as well as host community and school presentations.

“All of us are just volunteers that are trying to make the community safer and better,” she said.

The themes were legacy and vibrancy at the North Pacific Cannery’s 125th anniversary celebration on Saturday, but there was also an eye towards the future.

Stephanie Puleo, the cannery’s operations manager, hosted the birthday ceremony for the wooden, rustic mainstay on the Skeena River and Port Edward Historical Society board members were excited to share a slew of new funding opportunities and partnerships that will help the west coast of North America’s oldest fish cannery thrive in a modern world, without the fishing boom of decades past.

“Like a lot of heritage sites across the country, we don’t get any federal or provincial funding, so it’s certainly an obstacle for us,” said the historical society’s president Andrew Hamilton.

“But the support we get is from the community in terms of volunteerism and local business contributing and people donating artifacts that you see throughout the site.”

The society announced four main ambitions they would like to carry out during the next few years for the cannery, currently designated a national historic site. The first is to achieve a United Nations Environment, Society and Culture Organization (UNESCO) designation, a move that would automatically put the cannery on Parks Canada’s list of candidates to receive funding.

“Salmon-canning was the first industry that linked B.C. to the global economy and brought people around

the world to work in the industry,” said Hamilton.

“I would argue that without salmon-canning, B.C. might not have become a part of Canada.”

The board’s second goal is to become an employment platform, giving people “training and experience in complex maritime construction” with the developments planned for restoring the site.

The third ambition is to connect the salmon-canning industry to the fishing industry. Cultural organizations, volunteers and museum partnerships will be key in this, said Hamilton.

The fourth, final and most costly initiative the board will take on is the complete restoration of the working dock area of the cannery to transform it into a marquee community gathering space which will be designated the “main conservation project over the next two years and will be the basis

of our $1.8 million capital campaign,” said Hamilton.

The Prince Rupert Port Authority will be helping to contribute to that total with their recently-announced $200,000 contribution through their community investment fund to complete the working dock’s transformation.

Northwest Community College also signed a partnership with the cannery, who will continue to bring students inside the hallowed walls of the site.

The commemorative first plank was nailed in and cake and refreshments were served with Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem, Port Edward Mayor Dave MacDonald, North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice, Port Authority director of public affairs Ken Veldman and Northwest Community College regional director Ann Rowse, among others on hand, to take part in the celebration.

Which industry can you accept?

W

hile First Nations come together to launch a legal challenge to the Enbridge Northern Gateway decision, it seems that other opponents of the pipeline have seemingly set their sights on the liquefied natural gas industry.

Whether it is the Gitxsan showing up at a TransCanada Pipeline open house sporting shirts reading “LNG Kills” or people on social media telling LNG to “go to hell” because it’s “not wanted anywhere”, the same people who opposed the Northern Gateway seem to have an enhanced hatred of LNG proposals.

While opponents can quickly point to spills such as the Exxon Valdez or Kalamazoo, Michigan as proof positive of the risks of shipping oil via Shaun Thomas pipeline or across the Pacific, the hatred and venom spewed at possible issues related to LNG exports seem unfounded.

One would be hard pressed to find an instance where an LNG pipeline rupture has decimated a community or where an LNG tanker accident has destroyed the ecosystem and a way of life.

So what can be the cause of this newfound opposition? Frankly, it just seems that people are afraid of things that are new and unfamiliar.

Let’s face it, logging and mining are now well-accepted industries within the Northwest.

Both create a significant number of jobs in the region and help sustain communities, but both also cause deforestation, habitat loss, increased carbon emissions and have been known to allow chemicals to enter fish-bearing streams.

The difference, it seems, is that these two industries are established and therefore acceptable.

LNG, on the other hand, is new and foreign.

Of course there are environmental risks associated with LNG, but those risks are no greater than existing industry. Why is one alright while the other is to be feared and loathed?

So, to those taking LNG to task, the question is this: What is acceptable industrial development to improve the economy of the region? Or is the status quo, which in the past has seen countless children and grandchildren leave the North Coast to find work and support their families, perfectly acceptable?

In the June, 2014 strike vote, 4,674 teachers voted no and 7,613 teachers did not even bother to vote at all. This shows, that the teachers are not fully united on the actions of their union.

It is time to face the facts and reality of what is happening in the rest of Canada. As of today, the governments in the provinces of B.C., Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Island, are working on contract negotiations with the teachers. No signed contracts are in force presently.

Teacher contracts are a hard sell in all 10 provinces. Alberta’s present contract ending in 2015, is a four-year contract, with three years of zero per cent increases and a two per cent raise and a cash bonus in the fourth year.

Saskatchewan’s last contract ending in 2013, was a four-year contract with a 5.5 per cent wage increase. Manitoba’s last contract ending in 2013, was a four-year contract with a 7.5 per cent wage increase. Ontario’s present contract, ending in 2014, is a two-year contract with zero per cent increases. Quebec’s present contract ending in 2015, is a five-year contract, with a 5.6 per cent wage increase. Nova Scotia’s present contract ending in 2015, is a threeyear contract with a 5.5 per cent wage increase.

Newfoundland’s last contract ending in 2012, was a four-year contract with a wage increase of five per cent. Prince Edward Island’s last contract ending in 2013, was a two-year contract with zero per cent increases. New Brunswick’s present contract ending in 2016, is a four-year

wage demands in comparison to what other teachers have negotiated..”

- Joe Sawchuk contract with a wage increase of 4 per cent.

Here in B.C., the government is offering the teachers a six-year contract, with a seven per cent wage increase over six years, and a $1200 signing bonus if the contract is signed by June 30, 2014.

Not good enough for B.C. teachers. They want a wage increase of eight per cent over a five-year contract, with a $5,000 signing bonus.

Not good enough for the B.C. taxpayer.

The average B.C. teacher wage is $89,624 per year ($70,624 in wages and $18,000 in taxpayer funded benefits). The B.C. taxpayer also contributes 16.13 per cent of teacher wages to the B.C. teachers pension fund.

All in all, a very generous salary and benefit package when teachers only have to work 188 days per year in relation to other taxpayers in the non-teaching profession that have to work 238 days per year.

Completely outrageous wage demands in comparison to what teachers have negotiated in the other nine provinces.

Some climate change truths Editor: This is a reply to columnist Tom Fletcher’s column, “An Inconvenient Truth”.

Mr. Fletcher pointed out in his article that “60 per cent of oil pollution around North America comes from natural seeps and has been for millennia.”

However, nature deals with small amounts (natural ones) quite well, but a large spill would be quite something else as we have seen in the past.

For example, there is arsenic occurring naturally all over the planet, in the air, water, soil, in minute amounts.

But I would not want to take a single gram of arsenic as that would certainly be deadly to

most people.

Also to purify water a small amount of chlorine is used, but I would be very hesitant to drink water where one litre of chlorine was added to 10 litres of water.

A lot of people presume that climate warming/change means warming would be equal and even around the world.

But climate warming means that there will be warming in some places, but more importantly climate warming means more extreme weather, more floods, more draughts, more high and low records, etc.

RE:PORT

ne of the greatest achievements in Canadian history was connecting the vast country from coast to coast with a network of railroads.

Committing to build the world’s longest railway was a monumental task that began in Canada’s infancy as a nation, and was advanced by Prime Minister John A Macdonald as early as 1871.

By the turn of the century, railways had become a Canadian obsession.

They continued to be integral to the history and development of the territories they traversed.

For modern-day Prince Rupert, the formation of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in 1903, with its mandate to connect Winnipeg, Manitoba with the Pacific coast, was the single most important factor in the establishment of the city and its outlying districts.

Even at the beginning of the twentieth century, thanks to the vision of Grand Trunk Pacific General Manager Charles Hays and endorsement of Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Prince Rupert was already acknowledged for possessing a strategic deepwater location closer in proximity to Asia than established ports like Vancouver.

The sod-turning ceremony launching the construction of the GTPR was held in northern Ontario in late 1905, and it was several years before construction began in British Columbia in 1908.

The section of track across this province is regarded as one of the most difficult and expensive ever to be laid in North America.

As an example, the 300-kilometre portion of track from Prince Rupert to Hazelton took four years to complete due to difficult terrain, extreme weather, and the 5,400 tonnes of explosives needed to blast the routes three tunnels through solid rock.

At this time, the size of the GTPR construction project was second in scale only to the Panama Canal.

It took nearly nine years to reach completion. In the spring of 1914 a “Last Spike” celebration took place in Fort Fraser, BC, approximately 135 kilometres west of Prince George. Dignitaries from across the country converged for the historical moment in western Canadian history.

The majority of the GTPR is still in use as Canadian National’s (CN) main line from Winnipeg to Jasper, Alberta, and its northern main line from Jasper to Prince Rupert.

The routing and high construction standards of the GTPR are still being enjoyed today. The line represents the lowest elevation of any railway crossing the Rocky Mountains.

This advantage translates into a competitive advantage for CN and the Port of Prince Rupert.

A lower rail grade equates to fuel efficiency and the ability to operate longer unit trains for hauling a variety of cargos to and from overseas markets.

Today CN’s colossal rail network provides the greatest geographic reach of any North American railroad, and has been a primary factor in the rise of the Port of Prince Rupert as one of the fastest growing trade gateways on the planet.

After living in Metlakatla for 13 years, Debbie Leighton-Stephens was forced onto a bus to take her away from life as she knew it.

Work starts for Kitsault mine construction

Hawkair changing flight schedule Times to be business-friendly

KITSAULT / Black Press

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Work on roads and for a construction camp at Kitsault has been started by Avanti Mining in a lead up to a planned full-on development starting next year for a molybdenum mine scheduled to open in 2017.

The work follows the granting by the provincial government on June 13 of a mines permit and the subsequent granting of other permits and leases allowing work to start.

“This is a very significant milestone for the Kitsault molybdenum project,” said Avanti president Gordon Bogden of the mines permit for the project which will cost close to $1 billion in construction and ongoing capital costs.

Avanti has lined up a portion of its financing, as well as sales agreements with South Korean and German firms and agencies and is now working on final financing.

It is forecasting a construction workforce of 700 people at the peak and anticipates needing a workforce of 300 people over a projected 14-year life.

“I am eager to see production at Kitsault begin, which will provide up to 300 new, well-paying jobs for British Columbians,” said provincial mines minister Bill Bennett.

Avanti received its provincial environmental approvals a little over a year ago.

Hawkair is preparing to change its Prince Rupert flight schedule to better service the business community.

Hawkair is planning to have flights depart the Prince Rupert Airport (YPR) at 8 a.m. five days a week starting in August, returning from the Vancouver International Airport at about 5:45 p.m.

There will still be mid-day flights on Mondays and Fridays for the remainder of the summer, with two flights departing and arriving in Prince Rupert on those days.

A Dash-8 aircraft will remain at YPR overnight in order to leave early the following morning.

Hawkair currently brings flight passengers from Vancouver in either the late morning or early afternoon, depending on the day, with an aircraft leaving Digby Island at 1:15 p.m. every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, or at 2:45 p.m. on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Port Authority profits tops $16 million Revenue just shy of $40 million in 2014

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A record year on the waterfront has resulted in a record year for the pocketbook of the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA).

The consolidated financial statements for the port, presented during a June 19 annual general meeting, show revenue climbing seven per cent from $36.76 million in 2012 to $39.3 million dollars in 2013.

As a result of that jump in revenue, the profit for the year increased $13.87 million to $16.48 million for the year ending Dec. 31.

The financial figures of the port

authority put Prince Rupert in some rare company on the national stage.

“In terms of revenue, we have moved position over the years ... in the dark years we were probably near the bottom of ports in Canada,” said vice-president of finance Joe Rektor, who noted revenues climbed from less than $10 million when Fairview Terminal opened in 2007.

“We have climbed to position number four in terms of revenue ... in terms of net income, we have climbed quite a bit and now sit at position three in terms of the other ports in the system. I think it’s remarkable for a relatively small community like Prince Rupert to

“It’s remarkable for a relative small community ... to become such a dominant port.”

- Joe Rektor become such a dominant port as far as Canada is concerned. I think it’s really important and we should be really proud of that.”

As a result of the record income, the port will be making $917,000 available for disbursement through its Community Investment Fund which supports legacy projects identified by community groups.

“We really have a role to play in using the port’s success to contribute to the economic vitality of our community ... we’re proud to have been investing in 35 projects since the inception of this fund in 2010,” said vice-president of trade development and public affairs Shaun Stevenson, whose comments were echoed by president and CEO Don Krusel.

“While it is great to receive recognition from people in places around the world, what is most important to us at the port and port offices is the impact of our activities here at home in the community of Prince Rupert,” he said.

Park pipeline LNG community office open in Port Ed feedback sought

BY MARTINA PERRY

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

TransCanada Pipeline says it will need to go through the Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Memorial Park in the Nass Valley in order to bring gas to the Pacific NorthWest LNG terminal on Lelu Island, but the company is doing all it can to mitigate impacts to the park.

A total of 12.1 km of pipeline will need to be in the park, but TransCanada has designed it such that 10 km will run along the existing highway to minimize disturbance “The right routing to us is to use existing disturbances and the road is already there so it make sense to use that corridor,� said senior communications specialist Garry Bridgewater during an open house in Port Edward on June 17.

For the remaining 2.1 km, TransCanada has submitted a Park Boundary Amendment Application that would allow for the pipeline to be buried in the park with the necessary right-of-way. The application has already passed the first round of screening, with public comments being accepted through princerupertgas.com between now and July 10. From there, the province will need to vote on the matter during the fall legislative session.

Should the amendment be approved, Bridgewater said the plan extends beyond simply installing the pipe. “When the pipeline is covered, we will look at creating a bike path with benches because we recognize the importance of the park,� he said.

The company expects a final investment decision by the end of the year to start construction in 2015.

Pacific NorthWest LNG celebrated a milestone on Thursday with the opening of the Port Edward community office.

The company held a ribboncutting ceremony and community barbecue encouraging Port Edward residents to visit the new office, which is located in the former Port Edward elementary school. “Today we are excited to establish a physical presence in Port Edward.

The community office will be a source of information for residents to have their questions answered by our staff. It will also serve as a working office for the project staff when they are ultimately on site at Lelu Island,� said Greg Kist, president of Pacific NorthWest LNG during the event. “Communication is very important to us as a company.

We are committed to providing information to the community here.

But we also want to hear from you, your thoughts on the project and how we can contribute to a better Port Edward.�

Port Edward Mayor Dave MacDonald was pleased to see the office open, saying it shows the company’s commitment to the community.

I WANNA BE A SHARK DOCTOR!

Martina Perry / The Northern View

Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem, Pacific NorthWest LNG president Greg Kist and Port Edward Mayor Dave MacDonald cut the ribbon to open the company’s community office in Port Edward on June 19.

“[Whenever Pacific NorthWest LNG is] asked to do something they do it for the community and area,� said MacDonald, who on behalf of the residents of Port Edward gave a Roth Harvey painting as a gift to the office. “They’ve been more than willing to listen.�

A final investment decision on the Pacific NorthWest LNG project could be made as early as the end of the year, with Kist saying the company looks forward

to establishing “a long, beneficial relationship� with the communities of Port Edward and Prince Rupert, the First Nations of the area and government leaders. “We understand the importance of listening ... not only during the planning stages, but throughout the life of our proposed project,� he said.

The Port Edward Community Office will be open to the public starting Wednesday, June 25, with staff working every Wednesday afternoon from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Bazansky claims Vic Marion Seniors Open

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

He’s one year removed from a torn rotator cuff and Ken Bazansky wins a championship on the links.

Not too shabby for the seven-year Vic Marion Senior Open veteran player, who won his first title in the tournament on Sunday taking the overall low gross score for the weekend.

“I birdied [hole] number 15. I just kept on making pars and was steady. I shot a 74 [on Sunday], that’s one of my best scores this year so I’m pretty happy,” said Bazansky.

The Rupertite shot a 77 on his first day for a 36-hole total of 151 and it came down to the final few holes for Bazansky to wedge his way into first place.

After tearing his left rotator cuff last year, and not playing a single round of golf last summer while he was recovering for nine months, Bazansky has made up for it this year.

“This is probably my 30th round [this year],” he said.

Richard Wright, who was leading after Saturday’s round, ran into some difficulty, shooting an eight, nine and

nine on holes nine, 10 and 11 respectively, while Brian Holkestad, last year’s champ, was hurting on the 16th hole.

“I just kept hitting the ball straight and they got themselves into trouble and what can you do,” said Bazansky.

Gamesmanship aside, the three golfers all played together and it made for a fun outing, said the winner.

“We’re all good buddies. It’s nice to play with people that you’re comfortable with and you can enjoy yourself. Nobody gets mad, you can talk with everybody; it makes a big difference,” said Bazansky.

Teru Yamamoto took the tournament’s overall low net score, shooting 131 with a 15-handicap in the First Flight, while Rose Holkestad took the tournament’s senior women’s title, her second straight, and second-overall, shooting a low-gross score of 180 with Selma Standring, a 28-handicap, taking the senior women’s overall low net title, shooting 148.

“It was a little windy at times,” said Bazansky.

“It swirls. Our course is like the [PGA’s] Masters. The wind swirls all over the place and you’ve just got to wait for it and take your shot when you think you’re ready for it. Today I was lucky.”

Kevin Campbell / The Northern View

Ken Bazansky shot a 36-hole total of 151, beating Richard Wright and Brian Holkestad for the overall low gross title in the Vic Marion Senior Open.

As for his prize, Bazansky figured he’d go with something practical and something that will help his shoulder along on to 100 per cent health.

“Probably a golf cart. My old golf cart is getting pretty ratty. It’s something I need. I don’t go for the most expensive prize I go for something I can use,” he said.

Howard Linn shot the First Flight’s low gross title, carding a 175 with Eric Hand, a 19-handicap, shooting a 141 low net total.

The Second Flight saw Don McMillan capture the second low gross title as he carded a 182 and Byron Gordon, a 28-handicap, shot 140 for the Second Flight’s lowest net score.

Skeena Taxi survives onslaught in U19 title win

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

It’s an ancient adage, but one that’s held true for centuries in all of sport: Defence wins championships.

And nowhere was that more apparent than at the Charles Hays Secondary School (CHSS) field last Thursday as Skeena Taxi used its stingy back corps to suffocate NSK Contracting to the tune of a 3-1 victory in the Prince Rupert Youth Soccer Association’s under-19 division final.

“One of the keys to our team’s success has been its defence; a very strong defensive core,” said Skeena head coach Alex Hogendoorn.

That, and opportunistic strikes.

Skeena midfielder Bryce Meers stepped up on a breakaway nine minutes into the match and potted a goal past a stretching goalkeeper to give Skeena the lead they

would never relinquish.

But it was really what came after that may have deflated NSK for the remainder of the first half.

On a routine battle just outside centre circle, Meers took a chance with a long shot from 25 yards out that eluded the goalkeeper, who thought the strike was going wide. It flew into the net and Meers had completed his brace.

Just like that, it was 2-0 for the team in black and NSK never recovered.

“I got lucky on that one,” said Meers after the match.

“I didn’t see it coming.”

After Meers’ second tally, NSK put Marcus Komadina in net.

“Bryce has shown a lot of leadership in the defensive midfield ... so we work from the defence up and then it gave our offence the confidence to be creative,” said Hogendoorn.

The half finished with a 2-0 lead for

“We work from the defence up.”

- Alex Hogendoorn Skeena and then the team’s back end put on a clinic.

Meers and Miguel Cachero, Skeena’s other goal-scorer stayed close to home as NSK launched onslaught after onslaught, only to be stymied by the smothering defence of six or seven Skeena defenders.

“This is a good team we played against too, their [talent level is] about the same as us, it just [came down to] whoever wanted it more,” said Meers.

NSK’s Chris Mair responded in the last minute of the match, dashing Skeena’s shutout hopes with a diving kick that found the back of the goal to make it

3-1. Afterwards, he let out an adrenalinefilled scream at finally breaking through Skeena’s fort-like barriers.

“All respect to Chris Mair and his team because he’s not just a great player but he’s a great leader and a great coach on the field and I gave him credit months ago for the success of that team and called on my team to talk the same way that he talks [on the field] because he’s done an excellent job with that team,” said Hogendoorn.

“They counterattack really well too,” said Meers.

Skeena Taxi got better as the season progressed, to the point of toppling NSK, who for the majority of the year, were untouchable in their winning prowess.

Tyler Matalone and Katerina Samaras were also a constant threat up front for Skeena, who won their title with many players playing with the same teammates from previous years.

Street hockey, long board races cap Seafest Rupert Raiders among victorious

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Stanley Cup playoffs had ended but that didn’t mean the kids of Prince Rupert had had their fill of Canada’s game.

The Prince Rupert Minor Hockey Association and Tim Horton’s made sure of that. The organizations sponsored and hosted their day-long street hockey tournament at Seafest 2014, with multiple different divisions and age-groups.

Junior Scrappy beat Red Bulls by a score of 2-1, to claim the novice division, while in novice/atom girls, Flaten’s Ice Angels defeated NSK Contracting 5-2.

For the atoms, the Ice Wolves shutout the Haida Salmon Kings 5-0 and for the peewees, Northern Landscaping beat Storey’s Excavating 4-3.

The bantam edition of Storey’s Excavating exploded for seven goals against the Bounty Hunters in their final, winning 7-5 and for the men, Pump House doubled up on Scrappy, 4-2.

Rupert Raiders downed the Ball Hockey Babes 4-0 to win the ladies’ tourney.

Underdogs stun Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jewellers

Prince Rupert Auto Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seafest 2014 Show & Shine

THANK YOU

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL

To Our Sponsors For Their Support

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

It was a long shot, they knew. But they were here and they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about to let the opportunity slip away.

North Coast Roofing (NCR), the blue-clad team that went winless in the regular season found themselves in the under-15 Prince Rupert Youth Soccer Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (PRYSA) boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final thanks to wins and superb defensive play in the playoffs last Friday night.

It was a classic case of getting hot at the right time, and the boys were up against Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jewellers, the powerhouse squad of the division, featuring the slippery Daniel Page, a standout forward who usually pots at least one or two goals before the night is out.

An unexpected strike from Tyler Morven late in the first half and an insurance marker from Jared Swan with 10 minutes remaining helped lift NCR over Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and complete Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story over Goliath. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really win any games this season,â&#x20AC;? said shutoutearner and NCR goalkeeper Josh Reniero. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But then we just came back [these playoffs] with two games and no goals scored on [us] at all.â&#x20AC;?

Reniero took the reins in net mid-season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started losing games so I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, might as well help out, stop a little more goals.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

The keeper repeatedly stoned Page and the attackers Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sent his way, including a number of breakaways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming down [the field] itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of nervous because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen like that one shot Daniel kicked at me [that led to a scramble],â&#x20AC;? said Reniero.

On that drive, Page launched a shot straight at the keeper, who got a piece of it, but left a juicy rebound in front of the net,

but Renieroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defenders cleared the ball from the crease.

Morvenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strike came after 20 minutes of sustained Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pressure, surprising everyone at Patullo Field, tilting the score 1-0 in favour of NCR. Swanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal came off a sound individual effort to get the ball to the net to afford a shot. He launched it high over Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaping keeper to finalize the score, 2-0 and win the league title for NCR. NCRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kevin Winther helped out late by blocking a blast that had eyes for the back of the net.

Last Wednesday, Remax defeated Farwest 4-1 to take the under-15 PRYSA girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; youth soccer title. A 2-1 lead before the half-time whistle was all the scoring Remax needed before potting two more in the second half.

She plays basketball and is a goalkeeper in soccer, so volleyball, it seems, is a natural fit.

Suttira Johansen will be off to Nanaimo come July 17 to 20 as part of the Northwest team for the B.C. Summer Games, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be doing it for the latter sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under-16 team, one sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only been playing for three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing on the Charles Hays basketball team was really helpful just to work on jumping and in soccer, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a goalkeeper and can reach the top of the net,â&#x20AC;? said Johansen last week.

The outside hitter is the only Prince Rupert native to make the volleyball team. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll join two girls from Smithers and nine from Terrace, a place in which sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty familiar playing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, I got invited by the Terrace coach to come play on their club team so every Sunday I go to Terrace to practice and then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone to provincials twice,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The outside hitterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role is to spike the ball and is the main passer on offense.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time Johansenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made the B.C. Summer Games team for any sport. This was her first tryout as well.

TRU Wolfpack welcomes its newest recruit McChesney heads to Kamloops after graduating from Rapids

BY LARRY READ KAMLOOPS / Thompson Rivers University

At six feet tall, Sarah McChensey is bound to stand out.

But the Prince Rupert, B.C. athlete has more than just her athletic ability and size to make note of. McChesney has the distinction of the first female to commit to the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack swim team.

The ‘Pack and head coach Brad Dalke are pleased to welcome her to the program as it begins competition n in the Canada Westt and CIS in the fall..

“Sarah is an extremely enthusiastic and contentious person n who loves to swim,” said Dalke who first spotted - Brad Dalke McChesney at the BC ‘AAA’ championships held at the Canada Games Aquatic Center in January of this year.

“She is an all-around good athlete who participated in a number of school sports ... consequently, her overall athleticism is the special attribute that she brings to swimming.”

McChesney played basketball for Charles Hays and Prince Rupert Secondaries and was team captain the last two years (2012-13, 2013-14).

“Currently, her best times qualify her to compete at the Canada West Conference championship,” Dalke explains.

“Sarah will most definitely be one of the key individuals on the WolfPack swim team.

Along with her enthusiasm for swimming, she is a great individual who will be an excellent leader for our program in the years to come.”

“I am very excited to be part of the first swim team at TRU,”McChesney adds.

“I am looking forward to working with Brad and meeting my new teammates. It will be exciting to be a part of a growing program.

She is also looking forward to being a role model within the Kamloops community.

“I’ve always thrived on being a role model for young athletes. I think that to have someone to look up to is an important aspect to sport and I always try to encourage younger people to reach their goals,” she said.

McChesney herself points to her club coach Chris Street and her basketball coach Sara Barrow as being her role models along with her parents Jacquie and Rick.

“She is a great individual who will be an excellent leader for our program in the years to come.”

Project Update

Proposed Dredging Dredging is a standard activity at industrial ports around the world.

We’d like to share some important information with you about the dredging Pacific NorthWest LNG proposes to undertake as part of our LNG project.

This map shows where proposed dredging would take place to accommodate our marine terminal and Materials Offloading Facility (MOF). The majority of the dredging would take place at Agnew Bank, which is west of Flora Bank and does not include eelgrass.

• It is not unusual for dredging to be needed in ports. For example, 3-4 million m3 is dredged annually at Port Metro Vancouver to ensure safe waterways for marine traffic.

• We are working with regulatory agencies, including Environment Canada and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans on our proposed dredging plans.

• Dredging would not take place when juvenile salmon are in the area in large numbers.

• All dredging would take place using the best available technology and in compliance with government regulations.

• Dredging would occur at two sites: Agnew Bank for the marine terminal and Porpoise Channel for the Materials Offloading Facility (MOF).

• Absolutely no dredging of Flora Bank will occur.

• Dredging at Agnew Bank for the marine terminal would remove approximately 7.3 million m3 to allow for safe passage and berthing of LNG carriers.

• The dredging would result in an ocean depth of about 15.6 metres at the marine terminal and turning area to permit safe navigation for LNG carriers.

• Dredging of approximately 615,000 m3 will be done at the side of Porpoise Channel to reach a depth of 12.5 metres at the MOF. • The MOF will serve as a dock for cargo ships to deliver materials and components of the LNG facility.

Masset RCMP respond to fewer calls

BY SHAUN THOMAS PORT CLEMENTS / The Northern View

Masset RCMP responded to fewer calls within their jurisdiction last year compared to 2012, but responded to o more calls for service from Port Clements itself.

The Masset RCMP report, composed by acting detachment commander Chris Kienzle, indicates members responded to 1,292 calls between April 1, 2013 and - Const. Kienzle March 31, 2014. In thee same time the previous year, RCMP handed 1,461 calls for service, a drop of 169 calls representing 12 per cent.

At the same time, the number of calls for service in Port Clements increased from 105 in 2012-2013 to 129 in the past year, representing an increase of 19 per cent.

Despite the increase, Const. Kienzle said the people of Port Clements should be proud of their community.

“Port Clements continues to be a safe, delightful community due in large part to its concerned and caring residents,” he said.

“The Masset RCMP would like to thank the entire Village of Port Clements for its ongoing support.”

“Port Clements continues to be a safe, delightful community.”

Port priorities

The Village of Port Clements has outlined its priorities for the year ahead, with securing construction funding for the barge project topping the list.

Other priorities include dealing with derelict houses, maintaining the small craft harbour, maintenance of the community park, centennial activities and biomass heat for the multiplex.

Haida president: Enbridge decision erases decades of goodwill

BY SHAUN THOMAS HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View

If you ask Haida Nation President Peter Lantin, the repercussions of the federal government approving the Enbridge Northern Gateway project reach much further than Stephen Harper could ever know.

“This affects all the work done with Canada on rights and title on Haida Gwaii ... it affects all of the goodwill that has been built up over the past few decades. I don’t think they realize the ripple effect this will have,” he said shortly after approval of the project was announced.

“It is very difficult to move forward in this environment when the concerns of the Haida are being completely ignored.”

Part of the problem, said Lantin, is that the Joint Review Panel never

“We are seeing First Nations come together in a way we have never seen before.”

- Peter Lantin visited the Haida territory as the islands were deemed to be outside of the affected area.

“Haida Gwaii has not been assessed in the scope of this project, but if a catastrophic spill were to happen it would be our territory that was devastated,” he said, noting feedback provided to panel seems to have been ignored.

“None of the 209 conditions address concerns we raised during the

Pick the BEST! for your Business

Joint Review Panel process.”

Although launching an independent court case remains one option for the Haida Nation to “fight back”, the Haida are one of 31 aboriginal groups coming together to present a unified legal challenge to the project’s approval. Lantin said that spirit of cooperation is one of the only positives to come from the entire Enbridge project.

“We’re seeing First Nations come together in a way we have never seen before ... if I am Canada, I am concerned about this new unity,” he said, adding the project has brought together nations with differing views on potential LNG development. “‘No’ does not seem to be an acceptable answer to this government ... it is going to blow up in their face and this is the project that is going to blow it up.”

As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new compact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada.

The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horsepower twin-turbo V6.

Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight.

“Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily.

“Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it.

Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I reminded him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success.

“That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreciation.

The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes.

Last Sunday, he enjoyed only his second podium finish of the year taking third place at the Montreal Grand Prix.

You’re welcome, Seb. Same time next year, in the Eau Rouge?

As Infiniti’s Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products.

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

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

The 2014 Silverado You can feel your voice get deeper when you climb aboard this big guy.

The 2014 Chevy Silverado HD I tested recently featured a 6.6-litre Duramax Turbo V8 diesel engine, Not too long ago mated to an Allison driving a heavy duty 6-speed automatic transmission, truck with a diesel capable of putting engine meant you out 397 horses and provides 765 lb ft were in for a bumpy of torque. ride, not to mention It gets deeper. This guy can carry up to the noise and smell 1706 kg and tow of diesel fuel. Not up to 8119 kg. And the truck box has now. load-bearing upper Ian Harwood hooks that are rated to hold 113 kg each.

Interior The interior is very well organized, comfortable leather 12-way front bucket seats that are heated and cooled. The rear seats are a 60/40 split. Heavy use of dark wood burl is very prominent and gives the truck a different level of sophistication.

The navigation screen is positioned perfectly and is easy to program without distracting you from the road. Steering wheel controls help with all radio functions and incoming phone calls. The dash

could have been better, lots of plastic and not that appealing.

Safety There is a single stage driver and front passenger airbag. An OnStar protection service is available, and offers direct communications between emergency services and the vehicle.

An electronic immobilizer is standard equipment and prevents the vehicle from being started without the key. Forward collision alert, lane departure warning and safety alert driver seat are all standard.

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

Towing Capability This vehicle can tow up 8,119 kg and combined with the improved trailer sway control makes towing enjoyable. The stabilitrak control system can sense if your trailer is swaying and help control it by combining the power of the engine and the braking system to keep the trailer under control. The rearview camera is a nice touch helping to align the trailer during hookup. Hill start assist is a good feature and helps prevent you from rolling back on a hill by maintaining brake pressure until the engine delivers enough torque to move the truck up the hill.

Fuel economy 15.8/10.2 L/100 km (city/highway)

The 2011 Mustang The 2011 model year edition of the Ford Mustang, coupe and convertible, came with a more menacing frontal appearance and, under hood, new engines produced more power with less fuel. So, you could also call it the “meaner and leaner” revamp.

Appearance changes on the 2011 included new An iconic headlights and revised lower fascias, fenders and American car, the grille, plus a power-dome Ford Mustang offers hood that allows additional classic styling yet can air cooling to the Mustang’s new engines. At the back, also be a reliable and new three-light LED lamps reasonably priced sequentially signal a turn, used sports car reminiscent of the muscle and a great driving car years.

The Mustang GT convertexperience. ible models came with improved body rigidity with Bob McHugh 12 per cent more lateral stiffness versus the previous year. In addition to newly strengthened structural members, under its hood you’ll also find a (race-style) tower-to-tower strut brace.

Even the new base 3.7-litre V6 engine packs a punch as it can deliver 305 horsepower and can rev to 7000 rpm. Its rated city/highway fuel economy is an impressive 10.7/6.4 L/100km. And its power-to-weight ratio is almost double the previous base engine offering.

Moving up a trim the Mustang GT has a 5.0-litre V8 under its hood. This engine is also a four-valve, all-aluminum engine, only this one can pump-out 412 horsepower. And sounds great doing it! City/highway fuel consumption is rated at 11.8/7.9 L/100km and a larger (cast aluminum) oil pan also extends oil change intervals.

The GT also comes with electric power-assist steering (EPAS), an upgraded braking system with vented discs all around and an enhanced suspension. GT buyers

Taking the Silverado offroad is an enjoyable experience.

The 2011 Ford Mustang Coupe will still turn heads on highways around Canada. could also add a California Special appearance package and a Brembo brake and wheel package.

A six-speed manual transmission was standard and automatic option was also a six-speed. This automatic has a grade-assist or “hill mode” feature that prevents sixth gear selection on a steep up-hill drive, plus engine braking going down a hill.

There is another limited production edition of Mustang, the priciest and speediest pony of them all, the audacious Shelby GT500. Power comes from a supercharged 5.8-litre that can produce 650 horsepower and it can also deliver over 600 ft-lb of tire-smoking torque.

On the inside, a Mustang offers two-plus-two seating, which translates to limited leg and head room for the rear seat occupants. While Mustang’s trunk is not huge, it’s a little bigger and easier to access than the trunk in arch-rival Chevrolet Camaro.

Both the Coupe and the Convertible editions of Mustang claim very good crash test safety ratings. Consum-

ers Reports gives it “recommended buy” status and reliability has been average to better-than-average, with the V6 engine versions being slightly more dependable.

The 2012 model year brought the re-introduction of a Boss 302 coupe edition, with a high-output 5.0-litre V8, plus a new Premium trim level of the V6 edition. Selectable electric power-assisted steering, with Comfort, Sport and Normal settings, also became standard on all models.

The 2013 Mustang got lighting that is even more distinctive and some minor exterior tweaking. A new SelectShift Automatic transmission with a manual shift feature was a significant mechanical upgrade and the 6-speed manual gearbox also gained a Hill Start Assist feature.

An iconic American car, the Ford Mustang offers classic styling yet can also be a reliable and reasonably priced used sports car and a great driving experience.. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

The rolling stop It’s amazing how many people roll through stop signs, as though they weren’t there.

Considering how many people do that it’s more amazing how many slow to a stop or crawl on neighbourhood streets when they approach an intersection where they face no such sign yet the crossroads to their right and left do! – Over courtesy?
