A 30-year-old Prince Rupert man has been arrested for possession of child pornography.

Edmund White, 30, was arrested on July 3 after RCMP executed a search warrant in the 1700 block of Sloan Ave. There, RCMP seized various electronics devices, including a computer and an Xbox video game console, - Const. Matt Ericson and charged White with not only possession of child pornography, but importing or distributing child pornography and making or publishing child pornography.

WCC outlines details of Tuck Inlet terminal Final investment decision four years away

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Residents of the North Coast received their first look at plans for a liquefied natural gas export terminal on Tuck Inlet last week at an open house hosted by WCC LNG. The company, a partnership between ExxonMobil and Imperial Oil, entered into an agreement with the City of Prince Rupert to potentially develop a terminal at Lot 444 and on Thursday night WCC LNG brought their plans out for feedback from the public.

The company has already received approval for an export licence for anywhere between 10 million and 30 million tonnes of LNG per year and is proposing up to six floating barges along the edge of Tuck Inlet. As well

“There is great separation between us and the watershed.”

- Leanne Dohy as the barges barges, plans call for land land-based based camps camps, administration building and control room structures directly across from the Seal Cove seaplane base.

In terms of possible impact to the Prince Rupert water supply at Shawatlan Lake, Imperial Oil media relations advisor Leanne Dohy said that will not be an issue.

“The facility would be located approximately four kilometres from the watershed ... so there is a great separation

between us and the watershed,” she said, noting the topography of the area also increases separation.

The current timeline for the project calls for the project description to be filed later this year, with a final investment decision coming in early 2018. Should the project proceed, construction would run from 2018 to 2023, with operations beginning nine years from now.

At full build out, the terminal would serve one vessel per day. And while she said there were no concerns raised by the Prince Rupert Port Authority about LNG tankers accessing the harbour, Dohy said more discussions need to take place about what the increased tanker movement could mean to marine vessels.

Community seeks info WHITE from Page A1 While not able to go into specific details, Const. Matt Ericson of the Prince Rupert RCMP noted the warrant was executed after receiving information from outof-town officers.

“The warrant was based on information received from the Integrated Child Exploitation Unit ... all of these offences are related to illegal ‘online’ activities and at this time, we have no reason to believe that any local children have been victimized based on what was seized and the evidence collected,” he said, adding this is not believed to be part of any larger operation.

White made his first appearance in court July 4 and was released from custody with strict conditions governing his contact with children and his access to the Internet. The release and lack of information on the case did not sit well with some in the community.

“I feel the public should rally and demand further inquiry, personal address ... and posters of warning should be posted throughout the city,” commented Amanda Sparkes on thenorthernview.com.

According to Ericson, details of the arrest were not immediately made public due to the nature of the investigation.

“It was an ongoing investigation. To release the information before he is formally charged, we couldn’t do that, but as things progress we are in a better position to provide details,” he said.

White’s next appearance is scheduled for today.

Boomtown Port Edward: Expansion imminent New housing and retail among proposals

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Four applications to purchase Crown Land highlight just how big of a boom could be coming to Port Edward – a boom that could begin taking shape later this year.

The applications — submitted by Stonecliff Properties, Catla Enterprises and Odyssey Homes Limited — call for the creation of almost 400 new residences, a strip mall and hotel and a large campground behind the current footprint of the community, with site clearing beginning in late 2014 or early 2015.

Meeting housing demand Odyssey Homes Limited, an Alberta-based housing construction company, has applied for the purchase of 7.71 hectares (19.1 acres) of land behind Rainbow Drive to create a 63 lot subdivision that includes the construction of two access roads and three culde-sacs. A typical lot would be 17 metres wide by 36 metres long and all lots would be fully serviced.

If the application to purchase the land is successful, Odyssey would complete construction in four phases, with grading and site preparation beginning as early as this fall. Each phase would include construction of 15 residences, with the first phase running from April 1, 2015 to Nov. 30, 2016. The next three phases would commence on April 1 in 2017, 2018 and 2019 and be complete on Nov. 30 in 2018, 2020 and 2021.

Trailer Court

“We anticipate a demand for 200 single-family residential dwelling units ... during the next decade.�

- Odyssey Homes Ltd. at the site, Odyssey expects development costs to be in the range of $60,000 to $75,000 per lot for a total investment of up to $4.88 million.

In addition to the 63 lots being developed, Odyssey expects more to come. “We anticipate a demand for 200 single-family residential dwelling units within the District of Port Edward during the next decade,� wrote the company, noting there are currently only 200 residences in town.

Trailer court expansion While Stonecliff Properties is busy conducting an overhaul of the existing trailer court, the B.C.-based company has bigger plans for Port Edward.

The company has applied to purchase 14.9 hectares (36.8 acres) of land to expand the trailer court to include an additional 327 fully serviced units, bringing the total count for the park to 392. One portion of the expansion would be a road running behind the current site parallel to Evergreen Drive while a second portion of the expansion would include a looping road behind that.

Stonecliff properties does not plan to waste any time in getting started on the expansion. The company has already begun preliminary engineering and says development “will begin as soon as the subject property is made available�.

Expansion to make use of proposed bypass road PORT EDWARD from Page A3 Full construction of the park is anticipated to occur in two phases beginning later this year.

the site. Catla notes “business owners wishing to open establishments in Port Edward have already begun to express their interest”.

As with the other proposals, Catla hopes to begin clearing land for the development as soon as the sale of the site is approved. Construction wold commence either later this year or early next year.

Shop Port Edward

A different kind of camp

and actually touch the borders of the existing Kinnikinnik Campground.

Catla Enterprises has a tight timeframe in mind for the site, which it says will “serve host to a broad spectrum of visitors, whether tourists to the area, LNG employee families coming to visit or temporary LNG employees themselves”. Land for the campground would be cleared this fall with building construction expected to begin in January.

The total investment in the project is estimated to be $1.4 million for the campground and the caretaker residence.

Wampler is the way

There may not be a lot of shopping in Port Edward now, but Prince George-based Catla Enterprises is planning to change that.

The company is proposing to build a commercial hub near the entrance of town that would include a 5,000 square foot shopping complex to contain a coffee shop, liquor outlet, laundromat and convenience store on the southern end of the 1.01 hectare parcel of land, while an 80 room, two storey hotel with a 60 seat restaurant and parking spaces would take up the remainder of

While people may think work camps would be associated with the LNG boom driving interest in the North Coast, Catla Enterprises is looking to bring a different kind of camp to the region.

The company has applied to purchase 2.88 hectares (7.1 acres) for the construction of a campsite consisting of 35 full-serviced sites with three washrooms and showers and a caretaker house accessible through paved roads around the area. The campground would include a six metre landscaped buffer and its borders would reach the end of Spruce Ave.

The backbone to all three of these projects is a project planned by the District of Port Edward that not only removes heavy traffic from the main road but posthumously honours long-time mayor Ed Wampler.

Wampler Way, a proposed bypass road that turns off the highway to town just before the entrance to Watson Island, loops in behind the community’s current footprint and reconnects to Skeena Drive well past any existing development. All four pieces of crown land being applied for are directly tied to Wampler Way: The strip mall/hotel complex would be right at the intersection of the highway and Wampler Way and would only be accessible via the bypass, the campground would be adjacent to that, the subdivision’s primary access would be from two exits off of Wampler Way a little further down and Wampler Way actually bisects the proposed expansion of the trailer court before making its way down to Skeena Drive.

However, chief administrative officer Ron Bedard said the future of the Wampler Way is “still up in the air”.

“Nothing will proceed until the [Pacific NorthWest LNG] final decision is made ... we’ll do preliminary engineering, but there won’t be shovels in the ground until then,” he said.

Pinnacle working to address ongoing complaints Vents blocked, noise shielding placed

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Pinnacle Renewable Energy and the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) promised more would be done to address Prince Rupert residents’ concerns with Westview Terminal more than a month ago, and while changes have been made complaints continue to trickle in.

An adaptive management plan was implemented at Westview Terminal in the last month in an effort to decrease noise, dust and odour associated with the operation. Pinnacle also invited members of the community on a walk-through of the facility that approximately 10 people participated in.

“An overriding objective of ours is to be good neighbours,” said Vaughan Bassett, Pinnacle Renewable Energy’s senior vicepresident of sales and logistics.

Bassett said the major issue with Westview Terminal is noise, which Pinnacle is concentrating its efforts on. The gear box motors at the top of the terminal’s bucket elevator system are suspected to be the biggest contributor, with noise deflectors being installed several months ago. Bassett admitted they haven’t worked out as well as the company hoped.

“We’re looking at putting in some acoustical shielding inside of that structure.

“An overriding objective of ours is to be good neighbours.”

- Vaughan Bassett We hope to have that in place in about four to five weeks time,” he said.

In addition to procedural and trainingrelated improvements taking place at the terminal, the adaptive management plan also includes changes to equipment use.

With some pointing to dust escaping from silo vents as a main contributor of airborne dust, Bassett said vents facing the community are now blocked off.

“What we have now is venting out toward the ocean. It’s used sparingly, and we try to only use it when we’re having an offshore breeze,” he said.

In an attempt to reduce smell from the terminal, Bassett said the aeration fans that keep wood pellets stored inside of silos from reaching an unsafe temperature are also being used sparingly, with usage being limited to when there’s an offshore breeze whenever possible.

Despite changes, there were still a significant number of complaints received through the PRPA’s community

comment form over the last month; a total of 28 between June 22 and July 19.

The highest number of complaints were collected during the week of July 6 when 13 comments pertaining to air quality, noise and other issues such as odour were recorded, followed by nine throughout the week of June 22.

“Complaints are usually related to loading of a vessel visit at Pinnacle. When operations are conspicuous, like dust at the top of the silos, trains moving and creating noise pollution or vessels running through the night, is when we tend to get the most commentary from the community,” said Michael Gurney, the PRPA’s manager of corporate communications, adding complaints are brought to Pinnacle’s attention each week.

Mark Bunch, Westview Terminal manager, said the aim is to not only stay under guidelines set by the government but to do whatever is possible to minimize nearby residents’ concerns in daily

operations.

“Is it more difficult to work that way?

Absolutely. But is it the right thing to do?

Absolutely,” Bunch said.

“To be able to coexist in this tight of an environment takes an awful lot.”

And that was the reason Water Street homeowner Ken Shaw was vocal in his opposition of the project during its environmental assessment phase.

“I wasn’t against the project, I was against its location ... I felt it would be better located in an industrial area,” he said in a June interview with the Northern View.

Shaw said he believes Westview Terminal is operating better than many similar facilities, with ongoing complaints stemming more from the terminal’s placement than its practices.

“All those problems that they have, typical start up problems, are quite manageable in an industrial setting,” he said.

Mountains out of mole hills

I

t took almost no time at all for opponents of the Enbridge Northern Gateway project to point to the grounding of the Amakusa Island as proof positive of the risks associated with oil tankers traversing the coast.

A lot of comments and discussion were along the lines of “take note, Enbridge” and “imagine if that had been an oil tanker”. In the spirit of dialogue, let’s go ahead and imagine the Amakusa Island was an oil tanker.

The fact that there was a Canadian pilot on board does indeed show that accidents happen even with local expertise.

And yes, an oil tanker has just as much chance of running aground as the coal-handling Amakusa. But before the sky fills with red Shaun Thomas flags, let’s look at the facts.

When the vessel hit the land, despite being loaded with 80,000 metric tonnes of coal, it took on water but it didn’t sink thanks to the quick action of the captain who closed off bulkheads. None of the product escaped from the single hulled ship. Crews were quickly on scene and there was no environmental contaminants making its way into the ocean.

I imagine if it had been a double-hulled oil tanker that struck that piece of land, all of the above would be true. There would have been no product spillage, as the double hull provides extra protection, the captain and engineers would still have shut down the bulkheads to keep the ship afloat, the response time would have been the same.

So really, opponents telling Enbridge to take note of an accident that had no spillage, injury or long-term impacts to the environment doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Could this have been worse? Yes, much worse. But pointing to this incident as proof of the risks of oil tankers plying these waters is simply fear-mongering, which is the lowest common denominator of opposition.

You can’t point to the grounding of the Amakusa Island as a reason to oppose oil tanker traffic anymore than you can point to a fender-bender as a reason not to drive. It just doesn’t work.

Grain’s path to market not an easy row to hoe The importance of volunteers Letters to the editor

Editor: One of the best things about working as Prince Rupert’s chief librarian is my boss. That’s you, the people of Prince Rupert (and the surrounding communities).

You are the ones paying my, and all the other employees’ wages. And you get to make the rules.

What books should be available? Are some too horrible for some of us to read? What services should we provide to everybody, including people too poor to own computers, who never had the chance to read above a Grade 8 level?

Libraries in BC, as well as most places in Canada and the US, are still legislated to be directed by the local community, through a Library Board. The public library is not run by distant bureaucrats, nor by profit-minded shareholders. It is one of the few public bodies which are run by volunteers who freely give their time and effort to ensure that all people have access to information of their choosing, who ensure that all people can read. These volunteers -or more properly trusteescreate the policies that guide the librarian’s management of the staff who do the work that helps our patrons get what they need.

An excerpt from a BCLTA Handbook offers that: A “public library trustee ensures that libraries continue to contribute to the ideals of a free, democratic society by promoting intellectual freedom and providing free, equitable access to knowledge and ideas.”

A heavy responsibility, one which has become so normal and expected by everyone that we don’t think about it except when prompted. But think about it we must as a library board -just as a persongrow and mature. New people must take on the

We recently celebrated their commitment at a dinner in Cargo Kitchen + Bar Restaurant. Rather than accepting gifts for their efforts they asked that a donation to the Library be given in their name.

So, while the library staff continue their work, we -and the library users- need your direction. I would like you to think about becoming a library trustee, to ensure that the Prince Rupert Library continues to serve the community in the best way we can. What information services do you/we need that will allow children, grandparents, the wounded and the gifted to obtain their dreams and soothe their pain? The Internet, the most wondrous of modern inventions provides much, but more for the rich and the computer savvy than for the technologically-naive and poor.

Help Rupertites make the best of the databases, big data and digital communities by promoting and developing the solutions to our local problems.

This is a way to make a difference in your life, in your community, as soon as you want.

Think before you post Editor: Could you imagine learning that something tragic has happened to a loved one from a Facebook status?

People should not be posting about these events that come up until names and details have been officially released in the news. Not only are these statuses and comments extremely insensitive and disrespectful to those involved and related, they also cause rumours and gossip. Which in some cases can be even more distressing, especially if what was said turns out to be untrue.

I would like to ask all of my Facebook friends

to please take a second and think, “What am I gaining by posting this? How will this affect the people reading it?”

Do it out of respect for the family and friends of those involved in the incident.

Private message, text, or call each other but keep it off your wall. Soon enough it will all be in the news. What you do with that, after it is made public, is your business.

That being said; visit a little longer, hug tighter, and remember to say I love you. You never know what moment with someone will be your last.

RE:PORT

his year, Western Canada’s grain crop production was over 60 million tonnes, one of the largest harvests in our country’s history.

Getting these grains from Canadian farms to world markets is an intricate process.

Farmers are the first group in a supply chain that requires a great deal of collaboration and information sharing to be successful.

Once a farmer has harvested his crop, he takes samples to experts who examine the grain and assign it a “grade.” This value is used to define its quality and becomes a determining factor in the price and ultimately the end use of the grain.

For example, Canadian Western Red Spring wheat, Canada’s most commonly-grown grain, is given a grade between 1 and 4, with 1 and 2 being a higher-quality grain used for milling wheat into flour.

Quality is mostly a result of harvest conditions. Harvest conditions include the amount of rain, frost and drought in the finals weeks of the growing season.

Also important is the protein content of the grain, as different markets demand varying levels. Canada’s export markets like China tend to have demand for high-protein wheat, which they can blend with their own domestic wheat.

Once their crop has been assigned a grade, farmers negotiate the best price they can get with grain companies or grain brokers. There are a half-dozen large grain companies in Canada—such as Viterra and Richardson—, but also a number of smaller companies that tend to be local in nature.

Farmers may choose to use a grain broker to source their crop and deliver it to the buyer, or they may utilize producer cars. Producer cars refer to rail cars allocated to farmers by the Canadian Grain Commission. Farmers load these cars themselves.

Most often, farmers sell to a grain company which hires trucks to pick up the crop and deliver to a company grain elevator.

Today many farmers use large grain bags to store their crops on site until the day of movement. This helps retain grade and moisture levels for extended periods of time.

Once the grain reaches an elevator, it is either cleaned for sale to the domestic market, or stored and eventually forwarded to export terminals at Canada’s ports.

Cleaning of grain involves the removal of dockage, which refers to anything other than the kernels of grain being sold. This can include weed seeds or stems, straw, or other grains.

Roughly half of the Canadian grains and oilseed grown annually are used domestically, and these are cleaned at the 150-plus grain elevators across western Canada.

The rest is moved by rail to various export points throughout the country.

Close to half of all exported grains move through British Columbia’s ports, and are cleaned efficiently at terminals like Prince Rupert Grain before being loaded onto bulk carriers and shipped overseas.

Heart of our City Keep swimming North Coast people at the ...

Brandan Hagen proving the doctors wrong

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Watching Brandan Hagen dive into the Earl Mah Aquatic Centre’s pool is a lot like watching a recently-snared trout released back into its watery home from whence it came.

One would never know that while swimming his laps, the 16-year-old’s body is, at times, internalizing and enduring more than two types of pain that will hinder but not break his drive for aquatic success.

Every six months, Hagen boards a plane bound for Vancouver. His destination is the B.C. Children’s Hospital and he’ll stay there for a couple days to monitor a case of juvenile arthritis and osteochondritis localized in the chest.

The osteochondritis condition separates Hagen’s ribs from his sternum.

“I try hard, but [the pain] limits my mobility and [my ability] to keep pushing myself,” said Hagen, standing on the wet, tiled floors of the pool last week. “[Sometimes] I would have to stop and take a few lengths out, but hop right back in when I feel good to go.”

The arthritis, diagnosed at age nine, flares up in Hagen’s achilles tendons.

The medication for it at one point did its job, but is now banished from the 16-year-old’s medicine cabinet thanks to its lurking side effects – bleeding kidneys.

The Rupertite lived with it for awhile.

But eventually it wasn’t worth sacrificing one part of his body for another, especially with the extra trips to the hospital down south to keep a watchful eye over a third condition that could be avoided.

“I was on and off medication the whole time trying new things. Different medication that didn’t work except for the one that made my kidneys bleed,” said Hagen.

The wondrous part of the Grade 12 student’s journey through the chest and foot pain is that Hagen is an unbelievable talent in the water.

Kevin Campbell / The Northern View

Osteochondritis and a hairline fracture in his back hasn’t stopped the 16-year-old from achieving everything he’s set out to do.

“He’s just taken to it. And his rate of improvement at this age; I’ve never seen anything like it.”

- Chris Street This year alone he achieved three new age-group national times, which have enabled him to go to Winnipeg this past week to compete against the country’s elite 16-year-olds. And while senior national’s was his goal that he fell just short of, Hagen eclipsed any sort of limits his doctors or anyone else imposed on him. Hagen swam the 50, 100 and 200 breaststroke national races and had alternate races of the 100 and 400 freestyle.

“I would say breaststroke is my favourite. That’s my best race,” he said.

Hagen’s older sister, Amanda, works at the aquatic centre as a lifeguard and runs summer civic centre programs for tots and kids to have fun in the water before the pool shuts down in August.

His dad, Hans, drives the zamboni at the ice rink and has helped paint a new coat of colours on the walls of the ice rink as part of its rejuvenation to coincide with the Prince Rupert Minor Hockey Association’s involvement with the arena’s upkeep, so Brandan’s pretty

familiar with the confines of the rec complex.

“He’s just taken to it and his rate of improvement at this age; I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Prince Rupert Amateur Swim Club (PRASC) head coach and Hagen’s mentor, Chris Street. “[The swim club] plays a big role [in my life]. Chris is like my extra dad,” said Hagen.

And the arthritis and osteochondritis aren’t even the end of the story for Hagen’s tumultuous health battles. In 2012, during a routine swim, Hagen felt a piercing pain in his lower back. He finished the practice to the best of his ability, but later bone scans revealed a hairline fracture from a muscle strain.

Hagen went on to compete in the Surrey B.C. Summer Games and agegroup competitions that year, despite various doctor recommendations against it.

Now they sing a different tune, but still a reserved one.

“The doctors told me I should be

swimming but ... I told them my goal was to go to age group nationals this year and they just said ‘good luck’ like I wasn’t going to be able to get it with all my conditions. But I proved them wrong.”

With his PRASC family, Hagen feels at home and he’s found his position puts him at an easier place to identify when a swimmer’s having a bad day and how to handle them as he’s one of the older members of the group.

“Overall, with all my problems, it seems like I can accomplish more and I know if someone’s hurting I can take it easy and let them do their own thing,” he said.

While wanting to swim competitively for as long as he’s able, Hagen is also planning on training to take an industrial electrician apprenticeship after graduating from Charles Hays Secondary School.

“It’s a college program,” he added.

Hagen will return to PRASC this upcoming fall after the pool shutdown has completed and the maintenance work is done.

As for the pain, the student says it’s more randomized while being off medication.

“It varies. Like one day I’ll have a good day, the next I could have a bad day or a couple bad days,” he said.

“If it hurts, I just push myself harder.

The pain doesn’t limit me.”

Travel to Haida Gwaii declines Inside Passage numbers up

July 30, 2014 • Northern View • A9

WILNG examining access options Tides may dictate operations

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

While ridership on the Inside Passage is up, the number of people sailing to Haida Gwaii on BC Ferries has dropped off during the first half of the year.

Stats posted by BC Ferries show a total of 8,096 passengers have made the trip between Prince Rupert and Skidegate compared to 8,916 during the first half of 2013, a drop of 820 passengers equal to 9.5 per cent. The number of vehicles heading to the island also dropped, but not as sharply. In the first half of 2014 there were 3,373 vehicles sailing Hecate Strait compared to 3,610 last year, a drop of 237 equal to 6.57 per cent.

However, during the month of June itself, ridership increased 0.1 per cent year-overyear.

On the Inside Passage, meanwhile, the number of passengers has increased 1.66 per cent from 8,195 at the end of June 2013 to 8,331 this year, a jump of 136. Vehicle traffic has also increased. At the end of last June a total of 2,643 vehicles made the trip to Port Hardy while 2,722 vehicles have made that same trip this year, an increase of 79 vehicles equal to 2.99 per cent.

While a great deal of preparatory work is needed before a liquified natural gas (LNG) terminal proposed at the former pulp mill site moves forward, one component being contemplated is site access.

The City of Prince Rupert, owners of the Watson Island site, entered into an exclusivity agreement with Watson Island LNG (WILNG) earlier this month.

WILNG is looking into constructing a small LNG facility at the site to ship product to oversea markets.

Ed Neibauer, who formed Watson Island LNG in April, said an issue currently on the group’s radar is harbour navigation and safety.

“One of the big concerns we had was the size of the vessels we could get into Porpoise Harbour,” said Neibauer, adding WILNG has met with the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) to discuss the topic.

Small tankers accessing the Watson Island LNG site may only be able to do so during high tides.

corporate communications for the PRPA, confirmed the port had a conversation with WILNG, but said nothing has been approved at this time.

“We’ve had an initial discussion with the proponent, but we have not conducted any analysis of issues related to LNG carrier access to the Watson Island area via Porpoise Harbour,” said Gurney.

“Porpoise Harbour has significant navigational restrictions and it’s far too early to say how they might apply to this proposed project.”

Neibauer said the plan thus far is to serve Handymax cargo ships, which have a capacity of less than

60,000 dead weight tonnage, and to only allow travel during high tide.

Before anything is approved, the port is requiring WILNG carry out simulations with professional pilots to ensure there’s plenty of depth for the vessels and travel through Porpoise Channel and Harbour can be done safely.

Neibauer said safety is something WILNG is committed to, promising the best available current technology would be used.

“Even though we are a small company, we will meet the standards of all the major ones,” he said.

“We definitely don’t want to have any problems with safety issues,” he also noted.

Hotels filling up this summer

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

With summer in full swing, Prince Rupert hoteliers are seeing another busy year with “No Vacancy” signs being common throughout the community.

Jack Payne, owner of Inn on the Harbour, Totem Lodge and the Pacific Inn, said 2014 has seen a similar occupancy rate from the year prior.

“We’re having a comparable summer to last - Jack Payne summer. It was busy last summer and d iit’s ’ b busy this hi summer,” ” he said.

For most hotels, the busy season is being driven by not just tourists but by those drawn to the North Coast for work on any major project proposed for the region.

Teresa Lee, owner of Parkside Resort Motel, said there has been an increase in occupancies this year.

“I think the workers [are causing the increase] mainly because we have kitchen units. Tourists are down this year,” she said, pointing to BC Ferries schedule changes for causing the decrease in tourists.

Payne said there have been employees from some of the proposed projects staying at his establishments, mainly geotechnical and environmental workers. However, he said this isn’t anything new, with workers staying at his inns and lodge last year as well.

“We’re having a comparable summer to last summer.”

Firm seeks to avoid conflicts WCC from Page A1 “If we ask the right questions now, we can prevent issues in the future,” said Dohy.

“If we know commercial fishers use the harbour this way and the seaplanes use it this way, then we can incorporate that into the design.”

But it is not just access from the water that is being considered. Currently the land access to the lot is from a small road that provides a means of getting to the water supply. Dohy said creating direct access to Prince Rupert is something that the company may consider as the project develops.

“We will be undertaking a logistics study trying to figure out the best way to access the site not only during construction but for the more longterm operational requirements,” she said.

And while the announcement of the Tuck Inlet site may be something new, the project itself has been on the drawing board for a long time. WCC LNG has been looking at sites up and down the North Coast since 2011, choosing Tuck Inlet because of the safe, protected harbour, the deep-water berthing capacity, the proximity to infrastructure and the viability of the site for both a barge-mounted or on-shore concept.

In searching out sites, the company has also been speaking with area First Nations since 2011.

“When we first came to Prince Rupert, some of the first people we talked to were the Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla First Nations ... the consistent theme is people are open to talk but have criteria they want met, as would anyone,” said

While there was a lot of information available, Dohy acknowledged the plans for the terminal are very much in the preliminary stages.

“There is going to be a lot of engagement to come,” she said.

“We want to hear from people ... and we want tons of input,” said Dohy, noting WCC LNG is planning to open an office in Prince Rupert shortly.

“We don’t want people to wait for open houses, we want people to talk to us if they have comments, questions or concerns.”

Paavola, Jaskwan-Bedard dive into worlds

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

For many, the prospect of participating in sport competitively ceases to exist once your age dictates you must be the best-ofthe-best to keep going.

Not so for Masters Swimming Canada.

“The sport does not end at [age] 18,” said Prince Rupert’s Cheryl Paavola.

“Because there’s nobody up here [older than 18] swimming [in a competitive environment], the kids don’t know [that you can].”

Paavola, who recently returned from Nanaimo as an assistant coach with Team Northwest’s swimming squad at the B.C. Summer Games, will compete in the 50, 100, 200, 400 and 800-metre freestyle races in the women’s 40-44 age group at the 15th Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA) World Masters Championships which runs in Montréal from July 27 to Aug. 10.

She’ll swim against hundreds of athletes who made the minimum required times to participate, but she’ll also swim against former Olympians and Commonwealth Games veterans.

That’s how it is with the masters, all adults, who range in skill level but not in work ethic.

Starting from age 25, and with age groups increasing in increments of five

years, the masters’ swimming circuit pits anyone against everyone.

“Once I found out it would be held in Montreal, I thought ... it would be a lot nicer to travel and represent Canada in Canada,” said Paavola.

And the swimmer’s not the only athlete going from the northwest coast. Amanda Jaskwan-Bedard from Old Massett will also be heading to the hustle and bustle of Quebec’s largest city. She’ll try her hand at the 50 and 100 breaststroke and the 200 freestyle in the 35-39 age division.

“I don’t have a place to swim [to practice] but I have swam in the lake a few times. It’s pretty cold,” she explained, adding that there’s a strong need for a community pool on Haida Gwaii.

Neither Paavola nor Jaskwan-Bedard have swam competitively since they were in their late teens, and as Jaskwan-Bedard pointed out, things are a little different now than they were then.

“It’s funny, I actually feel better now.

Probably because teenage life is pretty hard.

I know I peaked when I was swimming between the ages of 13 and 15; that’s when girls are at their fastest in the swim world and I did pretty well,” she said.

“It was actually hard between 15 and 19, there was so much going on. Now it feels like such a great relief and I’m really focused on it.”

The one-time Rupertite swims whenever she can off-island, including Prince Rupert,

Cheryl Paavola will race in the 50, 100, 200, 400 and 800 freestyle contests in Montreal at the FINA World Masters Championships.

Port McNeill and Victoria.

“It’s just nice too because I have a busy work life and family life (with a two yearold son Wiijaa) so to have that focus when I go to the pool [is a nice switch],” said Jaskwan-Bedard.

In order to participate in sanctioned time-qualifiers for the FINA worlds, Paavola had to ask area swim coaches to include a masters’ class race with some of the Points North youth meets.

“At a sanctioned masters’ meet, you can’t swim with the kids to get your times,” explained Paavola.

At the Montreal event, FINA will host five disciplines: swimming, diving, water polo, synchronized swimming and open water swimming.

The organization has a membership of 203 national federations throughout the world. The 14th world championships took place in 2012 in Riccione, Italy.

B.C. Indigenous Basketball collects five medals

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

If the North American Indigenous Games were any measure, basketball runs in British Columbia’s Aboriginal peoples’ blood just as much as their proud heritage.

Out of three different age categories for six boys and girls hoops teams (under-14, under-16 and under-19), five of those squads medalled, and two won gold in the extremely competitive continental tournament in Regina last week.

Leading the way was the boys’ under-19 team, which featured Skidegate’s Nate Vogstad and Joel Richardson (their story on B1) and Prince Rupert’s Perry Terrell.

The team struck gold in an 88-71 victory versus Wisconsin in the 12-team competition and more often than not, demolished their opponents by more than 20 points in each game. Vogstad, Richardson and Terrell were the 1-2-3 scorers in a quarter-finals game against New Brunswick.

The under-14 B.C. girls’ team joined them as champions when they defeated Team Ontario by one point, 46-45 in the gold medal match that saw Jada Dennis from Lax Kw’alaams and Jenna Shelford from Skidegate bring home a championship to the northwest.

Claiming silver, were the under-16 boys’ and girls teams. The boys lost a tough 78-48 decision to Team Wisconsin.

Before that, they ran the table and went 3-0 against the Northwest Territories, New York and Manitoba in the round robin.

Lax Kw’alaams’ Hayden Jeffrey and Will Nicholls were two key cogs in the well-oiled B.C. team that came within five points at half-time, coached by Davey Sundher.

Jeffrey reached double digits in the final game.

“I’m proud of how our team came together,” said Sundher.

Masset’s Dion Lewis also played on the team as did Prince Rupert’s own Darnell Calder and Nicolis Campbell.

The under-16 girls’ scored themselves a silver lining in their trip out to Regina, claiming second-place in the final, falling to Wisconsin by a 77-70 margin. Haida’s

Jasmine Hamilton was part of that strong squad.

The under-14 boys found bronze when they defeated Colorado, 54-42. Mike Hughan-Blazic and Davin McDonald of Skidegate played great basketball for the team, with McDonald providing key plays at the right time for the bronze medal game, explained the release.

Missing the podium this year were the under-19 girls, who won two versus Manitoba (by one point) and Nova Scotia (by 71) and lost two against Wisconsin and Alberta. Ontario ended up defeating Manitoba for the gold in that category. Lax Kw’alaams’ Gabby Jeffrey and the Haida Nation’s Vanessa Parnell took part on that squad.

Lifesaving, sports weeks take over pool Kayaking course a hit with kids

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

North Coast youngsters had the chance to hone their kayaking skills within the safe confines of the Earl Mah Aquatic Centre the past several weeks.

Amanda Hagen and Nathan Ramin, two ex-assistant coaches with the Prince Rupert Rapids swim club and current lifeguards, ran the program designed to teach on-the-water safety skills. “[We’ve been doing] lots of education about PFDs (personal flotation devices), life jackets; when they work, how to use them, how to fit them properly,� said Hagen.

The program is part of National Drowning Prevention Week, held from 1 to 3 p.m. last Monday to Friday, and while the initial turnout didn’t meet any lofty expectations, once the kayaks were brought out Hagen and Ramin had to turn kids away at closing time, the boats were so popular. “We started doing that and then everybody took a liking to the boats,� said Ramin. “Not everybody gets to do it, I mean

Golf club adds drop-in competition

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Golf Club is getting casual.

Recently, the course has started offering Thursday Night Drop-in Golf, a program offered to golfers of any age or skill level.

For $15 per golfer, and session fees of $5, players will have a chance at winning money from a contribution of $2 to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;lowâ&#x20AC;? team, $2 to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;highâ&#x20AC;? team, $1 toward the - Judy Fraser â&#x20AC;&#x153;money puttâ&#x20AC;?, and $1 to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;hidden holeâ&#x20AC;?.

Tee-off times are from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. and players will play nine holes of golf and total their scores afterwards with no handicap to determine the total low and high scores.

The money putt comes from five drawn numbers from a bucket and will get a chance to make a long putt set up on the putting green.

Winning putters will split the pot, or if no one sinks the challenging putt, the money will carry over to the next Thursday.

Birdies will win you the â&#x20AC;&#x153;hidden holeâ&#x20AC;? challenge with participants drawing numbers for a random hole they must score a birdie on. The same rules apply if there are multiple winners or no winners, as the money putt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a fun, new event open to everyone, of all skill levelsâ&#x20AC;? said club manager Judy Fraser.

More information can be found at the Prince Rupert Golf Courseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pro shop or on the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page at Prince Rupert Golf Club.

The Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club Championship has been postponed and a new date will be announced by the club shortly.

His first ever ace at the club, Bazanskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot tied things up during the mid-rounds of the battle between the seniors and the juniors, and shifted the momentum back to the seniors after their opponents were pushing hard to win the title from the older group, who had won six of the past seven titles before this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s installment.

The 17th hole, a 190-yard, uphill par-3 has little visibility of the hole from the tee, so when a loud roar erupted near the green, neither Bazansky nor his group, two seniors and four juniors, immediately knew what all the ruckus was about.

The ball had apparently landed on the green, rolled at a high speed straight toward the pin and plunked square into the hole uninterrupted. Bazansky, the 2014 Vic Marion Seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open champion said at the time that he initially thought it was close, but onlookers saw his shocked face when he realized his feat.

MOSS camp a hit with Rupert youth “Wet Wednesdays” have kids tip boats

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

There were more than a few kids tipping over in their sailboats out at Diana Lake this past week, and they were doing it voluntarily.

Prince Rupert’s Big Blue Sailing School has helped bring back their kids camp, run by B.C. Sailing and the Mobile Optimist Sailing School (MOSS). “[B.C. Sailing] sends up a couple of young, fabulous instructors with a truck and trailer and all these little dinghies,” said Big Blue Sailing’s Paul Bull.

The camp was even - Paul Bull extended another week due to the popular demand of the program, which has the instructors separate the days into orientation day, “Wet Wednesdays” and “Pirate Fridays” where kids can dress up as pirates and plunder for lake treasure.

Wet Wednesdays have the kids tip the kayaks and sailboats near the shore to teach the participants about rescue scenarios.

“I’ve been supporting the school for three of their last four years personally,” said Bull.

Kids aged six to 14 were welcomed onto the water by building their own boats and disassembling them when they were finished. The Optimist dinghy is seven feet long and specifically designed for sail training. MOSS provides training for kids with different skill levels and experience and they travel across the Yukon and B.C. every summer, engaging their campers on the water.

Bull’s local school which helped sponsor MOSS to come to Prince Rupert, and as an instructor with Sail Canada, Bull offers introductory sailing courses for adults and also teaches crew and cruising courses in town.

His website at www.bigbluesailing.ca tells those interested his background in Ontario’s lake country before locating his school on the north Pacific coast.

You can also find the school on Facebook at Big Blue Sailing School.

“It’s just a fabulous time,” said Bull of MOSS’ school.

“It’s been really neat.”

“[B.C. Sailing] sends ... fabulous instructors.”

Comfort and stay with your child when they are frightened.

Children love to explore, so create safe boundaries.

W. Spat / Special to the Northern View

Diana Lake offered the perfect setting for kids to learn the basics of sailing and kayaking these past two weeks with the Mobile Optimist Sailing School, who needed to add another week to their schedule due to the camp’s popularity.

CONGRATULATIONS!

131 athletes from the North West competed at the 2014 BC Summer Games bringing home 14 medals.

Province amends alcohol pricing

STEPPING DOWN Lorna Martinson, representing her late husband Rev. John Martinson, Adrienne Johnston and Paul Kennedy recently stepped down as trustees for the Prince Rupert Public Library.

BY JEFF NAGEL VICTORIA / The Northern View

The province has adjusted its new minimum prices for alcohol in the wake of criticism over how it has implemented new rules allowing “happy hour” discounts.

A new category for draft beer creates a minimum charge of $12 for a 60-ounce pitcher – down from $15 previously announced – or $0.20 for large volumes over 50 ounces instead of $0.25, which applies to smaller glasses and pints.

The new regulations aimed to allow bars and restaurants to reduce prices but resulted in some establishments having to raise prices to match the new minimums.

That will still be the case for pints, which bars that - John Yap had charged less than $5 must raise their prices to that minimum for 20 ounces.

The province has also increased the minimum price for spirits from $2 to $3 per ounce.

Addictions experts had called for higher minimum pricing to reduce health and safety risks to drinkers.

“Upon reviewing B.C.’s minimum prices, we realized they weren’t on par with consumers’ expectations and we took action to find a fair compromise that still upholds B.C.’s high standards for health and safety,” said MLA John Yap, who has headed the liquor policy reforms.

The lower minimum pitcher price of $12 against a minimum 20-ounce pint price of $5 raised some concern that beer drinkers will be encouraged to buy more pitchers and potentially drink more.

Provincial regulations limit a single serving of beer to 24 ounces, so pitchers can’t be ordered by a single patron.

B.C. Restaurant and Foodservice Association president Ian Tostenson said he’s pleased with the change announced by the government.

“They were sensitive to some of the problems in the marketplace,” he said.

Lower prices can be selectively offered for “ladies night” specials or “team night” for players in uniform. Minimum prices do not apply to catered events, or special occasion licences.

“We realized they weren’t on par with consumer expectations.”

“We are thrilled to provide these onestop resources available to all parents and caregivers in the North Coast region,” said Kate Toye, Prince Rupert’s Success by Six coordinator.

First Steps and Beyond is a 58-page guide that includes information on developmental milestones, nutrition, safety, finding child care, budgeting, how parents can take care of themselves, as well

as a list of additional services and support.

In response to growing interest in parenting information for First Nations and Métis parents or guardians, a handbook series has been reprinted with permission of the First Nations Health Authority and the National Collaborating Centre for Aboriginal Health. The handbooks include Family Connections, Fatherhood is Forever, Growing Up Healthy and Parents as First Teachers.

Student fare sought

FOR SHAME

BY SHAUN THOMAS HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View

The mother of a Haida Gwaii student is asking BC Ferries to offer a break as her son heads off to university in the fall.

Christine Martynuik emailed BC Ferries asking the company to implement a fare that makes travel to Vancouver Island postsecondary institutions not only more affordable but safer.

“For us living here, the expenses are considerable as it is never an option to live at home while pursuing post-secondary education.

I was shocked to learn that BC Ferries has no student fares and that he will have to pay tourist price to make his way down from Prince Rupert - Carmen Helin to Port Hardy on his way to Victoria.

I realize he could go by road all the way around the province; as a mother I don’t want my 17-year-old driving 1,200 kilometres on a long weekend,” she wrote.

“To me, BC Ferries is a service for British Columbians. I am asking you to please help us out. Is there anything you can do, even just doing the off-peak fare for students needing your services?”

BC Ferries public affairs manager Darin Guenette notes there are student fares for those travelling for school events, and said any further discount programs are out of their hands.

“The student discount, the senior discount and the medical travel discount are all for a certain reason and are part of provincial policy.

Although it is our operation, the government funds BC Ferries for administering these programs ... BC Ferries still gets the revenue of a full fare,” he said.

“The discounts are a policy decision, we just administer them.”

Vogstad, Richardson golden at Indigenous Games Team B.C. goes undefeated against North America’s best

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL REGINA / The Northern View

They might be the greatest all-Aboriginal teenage basketball team ever assembled from British Columbia, and this past week, they proved to North America they were just that.

A resounding 88-71 victory over Team Wisconsin in the under-19 final of the 2014 North American Indigenous Games gave Team B.C. its gold medal in convincing fashion last week in Regina, Saskatchewan.

“We watched [Wisconsin] a couple times before

“There’s always good players that set their egos aside.”

- Nate Vogstad and they had a few really strong guards so we thought we’d match up well because our team is full of strong guards,” said Skidegate native Nate Vogstad, a guard himself.

“At the end of the day, we shut down their best

players defensively. They couldn’t do much and we just pulled away.”

Despite his team’s dominance in the tourney, Vogstad, who collected 17 points, the third-highest total for anyone on the stacked squad that game, wasn’t entirely satisfied with his usual repertoire of tricks.

“The whole tournament I couldn’t hit a three [pointer] and that’s usually my game, so instead I decided to try and get to the free throw line and all that, so I tried to hit a bunch of free throws and was playing really aggressive,” he said.

Amakusa Island to require 15 days of repairs

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Amakusa Island, which ran aground 15 kilometres off Ridley Island earlier this month, has been moved to Northland Terminal to be repaired.

The 228-metre bulk carrier struck rock on July 14 while shifting from berth at Ridley Terminals to its assigned anchorage. The vessel, which had 80,000 metric tonnes of coal in its hold, suffered damage to its hull and began taking on water. To prevent more from entering, the Amakusa Island’s water-tight bulkheads were closed.

Due to substantial listing, more ballast water was added to the stern compartments so it was resting more evenly.

A decision was made early last week to bring the bulk carrier to berth at Northland Terminal where it would be

“Work will continue 24-hours a day.”

- Michael Gurney repaired. After arriving in the afternoon of July 23, diving work commenced on the Amakusa Island.

“Two diving crews will be alternating and work will continue 24 hours a day. It’s anticipated there’s about 15 days of work in order to effect the repairs,” said Michael Gurney, manager of corporate communications for the Prince Rupert Port Authority.

“Essentially what they are doing is patching great sheets of steel over the gash in the starboard or right hand side of the hull below the waterline.

This will allow it to continue on its journey across the Pacific.”

The Amakusa Island sits anchored at Northland Terminal where it will undergo 15 days of repair.

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) says a lack of government resources is compromising the safety and wellbeing of vulnerable children and families in B.C., a topic still fresh in the minds of many in the community following the tragic deaths of a Prince Rupert mother and son.

The BCGEU has held numerous regional member meetings, including one in Prince Rupert last week, to hear from those working in the Ministry of Children and Family Development, Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation, or community social services to identify and address working conditions and workload issues.

The meetings are part of the Children at Risk campaign, which is aiming to raise awareness and build political pressure to better the system of care for vulnerable youth and their families.

Stephanie Smith, president of the BCGEU, met with Prince Rupert-based social workers, administrative support staff and community social service workers on July 21 about bringing

about change in the province’s child protection system.

Smith said she was in Prince Rupert to listen, and what she heard was “a lot of hopelessness”.

“We heard from members who are incredibly dedicated to the work they do and recognize how important it is. But that they are constantly being asked to do more and more with less,” she said.

Smith said she heard stories about the lack of support and resources within the community to provide for children or families who are at risk, and people having to travel to larger urban centres to get the help they require.

“We heard that there just aren’t enough bodies to do the work,” Smith said.

The lack of support in Prince Rupert was brought to light following the passings of Angie Robinson and her 16-year-old autistic son Robert in April. The two were found deceased in their Ebert Street home on April 3, with RCMP confirming Angie had taken her son’s life before committing suicide. Smith said Angie and Robert’s story was discussed at the meeting, along with a number of others about people falling through the cracks. She said this is a systematic issue that isn’t unique to isolated rural communities.

GOLD from Page B1 Team B.C. demolished Team Florida, 82-26 in their first round-robin game then followed that up with a 100-39 winning performance against Team Nunavut, finishing atop the Pool B standings.

Their next test came in the form of Team New Brunswick who they faced in the quarterfinals. B.C. made short work of them with a 78-47 victory. Vogstad scored his first in-game dunk ever for that contest and northwest B.C. stars led the way for the team with Vogstad notching 15 points, fellow Skidegate Saints player Joel Richardson collecting 11 to go along with five steals and Prince Rupertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perry Terrell reaching 10 points and four rebounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I missed the dunk our first game so I had to try again ... it was just a wide open one so I gave it a try,â&#x20AC;? he said.

And in spite of some of the showmanship that may be on display with a team of all-stars, the guard said there was little competition to be top dog within the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always good players that set their egos aside. They might be star players on their teams back home but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to learn how to play the game without the ball really well,â&#x20AC;? said Vogstad.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt like we had played together for years before.â&#x20AC;?

- Nate Vogstad â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took a couple games but once we faced tougher competition like Alberta and Wisconsin, it felt like we had played together for years before.â&#x20AC;?

B.C. toppled Alberta 65-45 to reach the gold medal game in the 12-team tournament.

It helps that Richardson has been playing with Vogstad since Grade 8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve (Richardson) had chemistry ever since we started playing basketball so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always finding each other on the floor and gelling together,â&#x20AC;? said the Simon Fraser Universitybound Vogstad.

The Indigenous Games experience as a whole impressed the team and one aquatic competitor even gave Vogstad a chuckle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesterday, we had our gold medals and we were walking around showing them off and then we see a little girl who had like five gold medals from swimming and stuff.â&#x20AC;?

the 5.7L Hemi V8 with 360hp, moving all that power to four wheels through an 8-speed automatic. City fuel economy can be frightening but I was surprised at how good this truck is, even when taking advantage of the new 120 km/h speed limit on the Coquihalla highway. The Durango put in a solid 11.8 L/100km, with more than 900 km driven. Keep in mind I didn’t soft foot my way to or from Kelowna. I did notice that the fuel economy improved vastly the closer I stayed to 100 km/h.

The handling is a bit top-heavy in the corners, especially at higher speeds, but after some initial body roll, the Durango is very stable. One notable feature is the automatic fantastic adaptive cruise control, making the ride very enjoyable.

Verdict If you drive in the city, the base 3.6L V6 engine might be a better choice based on fuel consumption but, if you drive a lot on the highway or tow a boat (3,265 kg towing capacity), the

Hemi is the right choice. Power was always there to pass and pull up a hill and the fuel economy can be good if the driver watches their speed. The V8 has the ability to switch off four of the eight cylinders when the truck is under light load and accessing this as often as possible makes a big difference.

Another thing to consider is price: the Durango is not inexpensive, starting at $39,995 for the V6 and running up to $52,495 for the top Citadel V8.

My family loved spending time in the Durango, we all had a lot of space and the trip was effortless. Our next adventure is to Portland, Oregon in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel. I can’t wait to see how that new truck compares.

Touring with the Outback St. John’s, Newfoundland: Atop Signal Hill is an arrow that points westward.

It reads “Vancouver, 5,031 km/3,126 mi.”

I’m a long way from home.

But as I look over the rock wall of the historical landmark in Looking out into the St. John’s, Newfoundland, I don’t feel so Atlantic, another iceberg far away. An iceberg lazily floats by as the presents itself in the distance as the humpback whales are warm, morning sun out and breathing. lights up the Atlantic Ocean. The faint hum Alexandra Straub of a vessel’s engine drones away in the background.

To think, on December 12, 1901, the first transatlantic wireless signal was received by Guglielmo Marconi at that spot is a fascinating piece of history.

Interestingly, my phone whistles telling me I’ve received a message.

As I walk towards the all-new 2015 Subaru Outback, I realize that this vehicle is also making its own little history. Touted as the world’s first sport utility wagon, it’s now 20 years old and better than ever.

There’s an all-new exterior look, the interior is much more refined, there’s a vibrant gauge cluster, a new audio system, and around back, there’s a total of 1005L of cargo capacity (that’s up 33L from the 2014 model.)

‘‘

”

There’s also a choice of two engines, a humble 2.5L, 4-cylinder with 175 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque, or a more potent 3.6L, 6-cylinder with 256 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque.

The latter of the two engines is what powered me around “The Rock” – not to be confused with Dwayne Johnson, the actor and former WWE star – but Newfoundland.

With only a couple of days to figure out some adventures, time would be tight, but I’d enjoy each minute of it.

Complete with a high-torque Lineartronic CVT, I had the option to up and downshift through the Outback’s simulated gears, in case I needed to pass cars en route to my various adventures.

First: sea kayaking in Cape Broyle. Though the drive from downtown St. John’s is only about 66 kilometres, I’ve learned that giving yourself a little extra time when going anywhere is a good idea.

Let’s just say the city wasn’t built on a grid so it’s not always a straight shot getting out. And even though you’re on roadways, they’re not highways.

Furthermore, not everyone was on such a tight time budget as I was!

That said, when I was happily soaking in the surroundings, I did so in peace and quiet.

It’s amazing how serene the cabin remains even at highway speeds, with the wind blowing furiously.

Furthermore, the Outback has incredible off road capabilities, in case I needed to get to some hard to reach spots. With a ground clearance of 220mm – like the Forester and XV Crosstrek – it can tackle the trails without even breaking a sweat. Thanks to the X-Mode feature, it allows for even more traction in high-slip environments. This all-wheel drive vehicle is just as happy being on the road as it is playing in the puddles, mud or climbing rocks.

The Subaru Outback makes a nice companion wherever you may be.

Another adventure that wasn’t as physically demanding took me to Ferryland. Established in 1621, this community south of St. John’s rests quaintly on the coast. While many clusters of homes do too, this one is particularly magical.

After parking, it’s about a one-kilometre walk until you reach a lighthouse. Not just any lighthouse, but one that serves picnic lunches so you and your loved ones can enjoy a meal while sitting on blankets, partaking of a sandwich prepared on freshly-baked bread, sipping homemade lemonade and breathing in the natural beauty of the open ocean.

Onto a higher paced adventure - sort of - was a stop in Brigus.

One particular bridge was on my mind. The one that competitors in the Targa Newfoundland race

Driving with the top down Los Angeles, Ca. – The Nissan 370Z (Zee or Zed) oozes youthful energy with its edgy design and wholehearted performance. Add warm California air to enhance the open sports car driving experience and roll back a few years, at least temporarily.

My two days in Los Angeles were spent mainly in and around Pasadena, a short freeway drive (16 Sports cars km.) northeast of the downtown like the Nissan core. There are no beaches, no piers, no theme parks, no giant 370Z Roadster are surprisingly roller coasters and no kids ... ok, just a few little darlings. It fuel-efficient, and does have beautifully preserved environmentally historic buildings, magnificent gardens, art galleries, museums friendly.

Bob McHugh and a vibrant “old town” district with theatres, bars and many great restaurants.

This “Z” was designed by a Canadian. A talented young man called Randy Rodriguez from Surrey, BC who works at Nissan’s US design centre in California. That magic moment of divine inspiration for the Z’s fluid styling lines apparently came while he was watching “Shark Week” on the Discovery Channel. He also has cleverly incorporated some subtle styling references to the original 240Z, a classic sports car.

The Z’s one-touch, auto-latching convertible top can open or close in about 20 seconds and comes with a glass rear window and an integrated electric rear window defroster.

It also comes with a fabric inner liner and a hinged metal body-colour tonneau cover that gives a top-down 370Z a classy finished look.

This Z has a lighter and more rigid body structure than its predecessor and a more powerful 332-horsepower 3.7-litre DOHC V6 engine. There’s a lovely “growl” from its dual exhaust pipes when you prod the gas pedal, and drive goes to the rear wheels via a viscous-type limited slip differential.

A noteworthy high-tech engine enhancement is its Variable Valve Event and Lift Control (VVEL) system, which adds extra power, yet improves fuel efficiency and provides cleaner

fly over. The sign says 10 km/h. That’s not the case when drivers are blasting through the tiny waterfront community. But I wanted to be a part of the fun, even if I was at a complete standstill on the crossing.

A trip to Newfoundland wouldn’t be complete without at trip to Cape Spear; Canada’s easternmost point. Looking out into the Atlantic, another iceberg lazily floats by as the humpback whales are out and breathing. A cool ocean breeze blows the salty air around.

I could get used to this, along with the companionship of the 2015 Subaru Outback.

The cost of gas isn’t necessarily having an impact on driving plans of those in B.C. exhaust emissions.

Wandering on less travelled roads towards the towering San Gabriel Mountains, which create a picturesque backdrop to Pasadena, was an opportunity to play with the Z’s delightful rev-matching 7-speed automatic transmission. A 6-speed manual transmission can also be fitted (via a sport package) and it comes with a downshift rev-matching feature, a “world first” for Nissan engineering.

It’s a snug driver cockpit that offers limited storage (although there is some extra space behind the seats), a single cup-holder centre console and a pull-up style park brake. I used all the rear travel provided on the driver’s seat and had the seat cushion set to its lowest position – a six-foot-plus tall driver is likely to have space issues.

Getting in or out of the low-slung Z wasn’t as painful an exercise as I feared it might be, but if you suffer from back or joint ailments a taller vehicle would definitely be a better choice. The hip point for the driver’s seat is very low and you sit with legs extended forward, viewing the road ahead over what suddenly seems like a much longer hood.

Its short windshield and surrounding glass give Z a chopped

BOB MCHUGH

racy appearance and the moulded design of the tonneau cover enhances its classic “double cockpit” roadster styling.

Vertical door handles have become a signature feature of modern Z cars. Auxiliary turn signal lights, on the front fenders, also hail from older generations of Z. An exceptionally good power-to-weight ratio allows an under-six second 0 to 100 km/hour acceleration time and puts this Z into elite sports car territory. Yet, when you consider its comparatively good fuel economy numbers and sane pricing, it’s still one of the smarter “expensive plaything” purchases.

In Canada, the Roadster is offered in a Touring trim with both 6-speed manual and 7-speed automatic transmissions. Touring automatic comes with both Sport and Navigation packages in Canada, but these packages are optional in the US. There’s also a basic (non-Touring) edition of the 370Z Roadster that sells for $41,470, south of the border.

Not too long ago, high-performance cars guzzled fuel, belched smog and were a workout to drive. Not so now, sports cars like the Nissan 370Z Roadster are surprisingly fuel-efficient, and environmentally friendly. .” bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

For years, the BC Automobile Association Child Passenger Safety Program has provided solid information, resources and training to make ensure parents do install these lifesavers correctly (http://www.bcaa. com/road-safety/child-passenger-safety/overview).

Now Volvo has produced a fabulous safety manual called Children & Cars, which is available free of charge at any Volvo dealership. Thoughtful and fascinating text is imaginatively illustrated throughout with photos of child crash test dummies dressed in trendy attire.

It was penned for Sweden but the text in the Canadian version has been adapted to reflect our laws. While it is required here that children under 12 months must be placed in a rear-facing seat, it’s acceptable for children aged one to transfer to a forward facing seat. The Swedes take issue with that and say it’s better they stay in a rear facing seat as long as possible, often beyond three years.

Most A-framed tents come with a fly, which is waterproof material to cover the outside of the tent. If you’re camping on the coast bring a heavy duty tarp to help with the rain.

Dome tents utilize flexible poles that provide a strong structure when completed and can withstand stronger winds. You can also have larger dome tents that can be separated into rooms with hanging walls.

Cabin style tents are much heavier but provide much more headroom and more space, the down side to these tents are they are heavy, so plan on driving right to your campsite and you will be ok.

I recommend shopping around to see the tent that best fits your needs remembering you need enough space for your family and gear. A sleeping pad or air mattress will help make a good sleeping bag feel more comfortable. Be sure to purchase one that is full length so you are not constantly rolling off during the night.

Preparing food is fun. For safety’s sake, make sure you set up your stove in a level area to avoid any mishaps. If it’s your first time then bring foods that are simple to prepare. A typical propane stove has two burners and a propane tank attached to the side. These are easy to clean and just as easy to pack away.

Five automotive tragedies from Hollywood

By Rob Sass Bad things often happen to good cars in the movies.

Here are five that make car lovers squirm.

1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder (“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”): This scene is perhaps the most famous bit of classic car mayhem in all of moviedom.

In it, the Ferrari is seen placed on jack stands running in reverse in a hilariously stupid attempt to remove the miles that had been put on the car during the day’s class-cutting good fun in Chicago. In a fit of frustration directed at his misplaced-priorities jerk of a father, Cameron Frye (Alan Ruck) accidentally kicks the car off the jack stands and it sails out of its glass enclosure into the woods below. Happily, as with the Miura and the Aston, it wasn’t a real California Spyder.

1970 Dodge Challenger (“Vanishing Point”): The ’70

Dodge Challenger (one of about five used for the film) meets a fiery end when the protagonist of the film (played by Barry Newman) drives it into a bulldozer being used as a police road block.

1967 Lamborghini Miura P400 (“The Italian Job”): The Miura is probably the most beautiful mid-engine sports cars of all time. And that’s what makes this scene so hard to watch. In the opening scene of the movie, mobsters destroy heist-plotter Roger Beckerman’s (Rossano Brazzi) Miura with a backhoe and push it over a cliff. A small consolation is the fact that an actual intact Miura wasn’t destroyed. Just body panels over an empty accident-bent chassis.

Interestingly, when the producers went to clean up the mess the next day, the remains had disappeared.

Neither the chassis tag nor any of the pieces have surfaced to this day.

1979 Porsche 930 (“Caddyshack”): This scene is an object lesson as to why you should never park your car with the sunroof open within a half-mile radius of where alcohol is being served: Young Spalding Smails, suffering from a case of ‘affluenza’ combined with Johnny Walker, staggers up to Dr. Beeper’s parked 930 and empties the contents of his upper GI tract into the open sunroof. The squishy sound-effect of Beeper sliding into the seat never fails to make one cringe.

1979 Porsche 928 (“Risky Business”): This scene reminds us all why we should use the hand brake.

Those of us who are old enough to have seen this in theatres didn’t see this one coming: Tom Cruise is enjoying a night out with the typical “Pretty Woman”-like, non-drug addicted, hooker, played by Rebecca de Mornay, of which Hollywood is so fond.

Her handbag strap pulls the gear shifter into neutral as she’s exiting the car. It rolls down a hill heading toward Lake Michigan with Cruise on the hood in a futile attempt to arrest the forward motion of the 3,800-pound 928. It ultimately comes to a stop at the edge of a wooden pier. Just as Cruise breathes a sigh of relief and starts to make his way to the driver’s door, the entire pier collapses, taking Cruise and the car for a swim in the lake. Audiences everywhere gasped audibly. The scene at the dealership where the service manager enters the waiting rooms and asks, “Which one of you is the U-Boat commander?” is priceless.

Obituaries

Gordon

Prince October 13, 1928 July 11, 2014 Gordon passed away in the manor in the early hours of July 11, with his daughters (most of whom were from out of town) at his side.

I am compelled at this time to mention the special care given to my husband of 28 years, by the staff of the north pod. The kindness and patience shown to all the residents is a reflection of the kind of facility we are fortunate to have in our city.

So please accept my thanks, all members of staff, nursing, kitchen, housekeeping and activities who showed nothing but kindness and long suffering to my smiling, blue eyed husband, and to myself as well.

A special thanks to Noreen who took care to keep Gordon neat and well trimmed for five years.

Lastly thank you to Dr. Belgardt for your attendance on Gordon over the years.

A memorial talk was given by Sverre Ingvallsen at the Kingdom Hall on July 14.

Thank you to all who were able to attend.
