Father, daughter in vehicle that entered the Skeena River

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

One person is dead and another remains unaccounted for after an east-bound vehicle drove off Highway 16 and into the Skeena River on Thursday afternoon.

The accident occurred approximately 50 kilometres outside of Prince Rupert just before 3 p.m. on Sept. 11. While one female occupant was able to free herself of the vehicle and was subsequently taken by ambulance to the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital, RCMP discovered a deceased female inside of the vehicle and the male driver was nowhere to be found.

RCMP later confirmed all three in the vehicle are from Prince Rupert and that the deceased female was the daughter of the missing driver.

An extensive search of the area did not turn up any sign of the driver.

“We had search and rescue scouring the shoreline between the car and Prince Rupert and had the RCMP helicopter searching from the air for any sign he made it to shore, but did not find any. At this point in time

MP proposing legislated oil tanker ban Cullen’s bill would support refineries

BY CAMERON ORR PRINCE RUPERT / Black Press

Skeena — Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen is putting forward a bill in Parliament that would ban crude oil tankers on the North Coast.

The specifics of the bill have yet to be released, as it has not gone before the House of Commons, but it would ban tankers carrying unrefined products on the coast and give greater weight to public input on projects being considered by the National Energy Board.

The inspiration for the bill has come from all of the trouble ... around the Northern Gateway Pipeline,” said Cullen.

“Right now the legislation that guides

“I think it’s 50/50 right now, which doesn’t sound incredibly high.”

- Nathan Cullen the National Energy Board allows them to have public hearings but doesn’t implore the regulator to actually do anything about it,” he said.

“We saw this in Northern Gateway.”

He says the ban on super tankers would be putting in to a law a motion he put forward in 2010. In terms of support, he thinks he has about half of the MPs on his side.

“I think it’s 50/50 right now which

doesn’t sound incredibly high but ... getting Conservatives to vote for anything the Prime Minister doesn’t want them to is always an uphill battle,” he said.

“I think I’ve got a fair chance at least having a conversation with those MPs.” Enbridge Northern Gateway spokesperson Ivan Giesbrecht said the company would not be impacted as the decisions on what products to ship is beyond the scope of their business as an energy transporter.

“Market decisions on oil refining are beyond the scope of our business. Northern Gateway’s role is connecting supply with demand safely and responsibly. We do not make the decisions on what product is transported, or where it is marketed,” he said.

Black backs refinery support TANKERS from Page A1 “There is tremendous demand in overseas markets for Canadian oil and Northern Gateway provides access to those markets so that we may see full value for our resource. That is good for all Canadians. Northern Gateway provides our customers an option should a refinery be built in Kitimat. Northern Gateway could also ship upgraded oil from Alberta.

Northern Gateway could also ship a variety of refined products.

The bottom line is Northern Gateway provides options — but it is important to note that in all cases, a pipeline is still required.”

Meanwhile the - David Black proponent of an oil refinery in the Kitimat Valley, David Black (also the chairman of Black Press, which owns this newspaper), said this bill is exactly what’s needed.

“On this particular point I think they’ve got the right idea,” he said.

“As you know I got onboard with this project because I didn’t want to see [diluted] bitumen put in tankers. One little mistake at sea and we could destroy our coast for a long time, and the fishery.”

Whether it’s passed or not, Black said the bill will be good for sparking a conversation about energy transportation.

Municipal Rupert educators discuss strike election taking shape

BY MARTINA PERRY

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Two mayor and three council candidates declare

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Though it may still be months away, the 2014 municipal election is beginning to take shape as those in the community and those sitting on council make their intentions known.

Those declaring their plans to seek the position of mayor are incumbent Jack Mussallem and Lee Brain. Although complete platforms have yet to be released, Mussallem is pointing to his experience in local government while newcomer Brain is vowing to increase transparency.

On the council side of the vote, there are currently three candidates who have confirmed their intention to seek office. Joining incumbents Anna Ashley and Nelson Kinney is 24-yearold Gitmaxmak’ay Nisga’a economic development officer Blair Mirau.

Voting for the municipal election will take place on Nov. 15, 2014.

Prince Rupert teachers and their employer remain on good terms despite the ongoing labour dispute between the B.C. Teachers’ Union (BCTF) and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA), according to Prince Rupert School District superintendent Sandra Jones.

“The relationships in our small community have been respectful and very good all the way along. It’s difficult to maintain that when times are tough, but it is happening here in our little town,” said Jones.

Over the summer the Prince Rupert District Teachers’ Union (PRDTU) requested SD52’s board of education take positions on various topics of the dispute.

“They need to be advocates for education within our community,” said Kathy Murphy, president of the PRDTU. In July, the board wrote a letter to B.C. Minister of Education Peter Fassbender, BCTF president Jim Iker and BCPSEA public administrator Michael Marchbank that stated it has “focused on what would be best for our students over the long term” and that both parties need to do the same.

The board noted settlements of court cases arising from Bills 27 and 28 are

essential, but a compromise must be made between both parties.

“The government needs to bring money to the table, outside of the bargaining mandate, and both parties need to be realistic in order to agree on an appropriate amount and on the way in which the funding will be used,” reads the letter signed by chair Tina Last on behalf of the board.

“Local boards and local teachers’ unions need the flexibility to address local conditions, so we believe funding should not be formula-based, but situation-based,” it continued.

Murphy said while the PRDTU agrees the government needs to bring money to the table to seek a resolution, the topic of class size and composition is before the courts and should remain there.

She noted this is the issue the BCTF had with the BCSPEA’s Framework for Settlement, which included a clause that the provincial union says would

supersede the B.C. Supreme Court’s decision that found the government’s second law on classroom composition was unconstitutional.

The board sent a second letter to Fassbender in August against handing out savings from the strike and lockout to parents to help with childcare costs.

“The PRDTU totally agrees with that.

We believe that the money saved from the strike needs to come back to education, not be dispersed,” said Murphy.

Jones said letters were sent to parents and guardians of Grade 12 students suggesting graduation transition packages be started, which are available on the district website.

“This is always a self-guided exercise even when school is in session, so it’s a great time for students to get busy on that now. It’s a four-credit course that is required for graduation,” said Jones, noting links to educational activities have been posted on each school’s website.

Playing pipeline politics

T

he calendar didn’t read April 1, but there it was in black and white: Skeena – Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen proposing a bill that would encourage the creation of oil refineries in Canada.

It’s a good idea – oil refineries would create a lot of high-paying jobs and eliminate the risk of bitumen or crude oil spilling into North Coast waters. But the encouraging of refineries is part of a bill that also includes a crude oil tanker ban on the North Coast, so the refinery portion seems moot.

While it was good to see the NDP throwing his weight behind creating valueadded jobs here in Canada, it was a bit shocking to see it coming from Cullen.

Since the inception of the Shaun Thomas Enbridge Northern Gateway project, the MP has wasted no opportunity to discuss the inherent dangers of transporting crude oil by pipeline to the coast.

As well as the tankers on the water, Cullen has pointed directly to the many waterways any such pipeline would cross and the potential impacts of a spill on the land base as proof of the dangers posed by oil pipelines. He also has never missed a chance to take a shot at the Alberta oil sands and the risk their expansion poses to the environment.

Yet with this proposed legislation Cullen is making it easier for those pipelines to proceed because any refinery on the coast, which this bill supports, would require the transport of crude oil from Alberta. It also provides a means by which the oilsands can further grow, thanks to support of refinery construction.

But of course Cullen is hiding behind “social licence” when it comes to these kinds of projects, saying it is something any project would need to have to proceed. How social licence is achieved and proven, however, is something Cullen himself has said can’t be quantified – making it all but impossible for any company to say they have it.

With an election coming up, the NDP are clearly looking to make major moves to hold on to their official opposition status. It’s just surprising to see the most adamant anti-oil pipeline MP in the House of Commons throw his weight behind a bill that gives the industry a loophole to the coast.

Because even with a refinery, the people of the Northwest shoulder the risk.

Factory model fading for schools

T

he B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s (BCTF) latest demand, for binding arbitration on selected pocketbook issues of its members, is going nowhere.

This follows months of the union’s insistence on mediation.

First a B.C. Supreme Court judge met with both sides and walked away. Then the BCTF’s preferred choice, Vince Ready, agreed that mediation won’t fix the current version of the mess he last examined in 2007.

BCTF president Jim Iker announced the arbitration gambit on Friday, in one of the webcasts he uses to rally the union’s exhausted membership. Education Minister Peter Fassbender replied that with five minutes’ notice to the government’s chief negotiator and lacking specifics on what would be subject to arbitration, the proposal would forfeit the government’s mandate to control costs.

“This government will not raise taxes in order to provide a settlement to one union that does not reflect what the other public sector has done,” Fassbender said.

In short, there will be a negotiated settlement, eventually.

The union chose to begin the strike, and now must find a way to end it.

The government’s position in this dispute is unlike any of the many that preceded it. And it points the way to an evolution of education that cannot be stopped.

The announcement of a $40-a-day payment for days lost during a fall strike for children under 13 was greeted with scorn by the BCTF: Parents won’t be bribed, they want school not daycare, it’s an insult, went the refrain.

Before the first week of the fall strike was over, nearly two thirds of eligible parents had enrolled, faced with pickets at their

schools and real and mounting child care and tutoring costs.

The union executive said members who are parents should refuse the money.

Some B.C. teachers have begun advertising tutoring services online. With distance learning and other online education options expanding in all 60 public school districts, the digital revolution is unfolding quickly.

The B.C. government made a couple of announcements in April, one about moving to digital versions of textbooks and another about a digital merger of 1,600 school libraries with public and post-secondary schools. Growth of options accelerates.

Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial labour strife, the B.C. public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age. Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.”

One of B.C.’s early models for self-directed learning is Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time. It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring.

Self-directed study has become a crash course.

Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular courses they will need by next year.

In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out. ~ Tom Fletcher

Editor: The Skeena fishing story is, unfortunately, a sad one again this year.

This season, the Department of Fisheries predicted the Skeena run size to be 2.64 million sockeye. They allowed the commercial fleet to catch 474,081 sockeye or 18 per cent of the run.

The Babine Spawning Channels at the head of the Skeena system are fully loaded with 500,000 sockeye. An additional 300,000 Wild Babine spawners are needed for a total required escapement of 800,000 sockeye into Babine Lake. When all the sockeye reach their spawning grounds, this year, there will be around 1.9 million sockeye in the Babine Lake – about 1.1 million too many. These will be taken by the Lake Babine Nation in a commercial ESSR fishery.

DFO’s own data show that 45 per cent is the optimal catch rate for the Babine Wild stocks, which DFO says have conservation concerns. Our fleet’s catch rate for these stocks is consistently less than 20 per cent while the Lake Babine ESSR fishery takes from 20-30 percent of these same Wild sockeye stocks. If the ESSR fishery did not take place, the commercial fleet could double its harvest of sockeye – and Babine Wild stocks would still be better off.

A 40 per cent harvest would have given the commercial fleet a catch of one million sockeye instead of the 475,000 that DFO thought was enough.

A 40 per cent harvest would have brought an extra $6 million to fishermen and doubled shoreworkers’ earnings. North Coast communities would be a-buzz.

A 40 per cent harvest would have met DFO’s all-Skeena (not just Babine Lake) wild sockeye

experiment.”

- Joy Thorkelson goal.

A 40 per cent harvest would have still permitted the Lake Babine First Nation a better commercial fishery than either the Tsimshian or the Gitxsan Nations.

Why on earth does DFO maintain their grand experiment on the value of creating a huge Babine Lake fishery while bankrupting the marine fishery? Who knows?

Meanwhile, the Terrace-based steelhead organization called SkeenaWild is holding a $40 per ticket auction fund raiser to “…stop proposed increases in commercial harvest rates”.

SkeenaWild’s goal is to enlarge the steelhead sports industry and they do that by demanding the marine fleet reduce our harvests of sockeye - because of our small steelhead bycatch. What really appalls me is that SkeenaWild is so righteous about taking income (fish) from others using a factually wrong, but popular conservation line.

Even the provincial minister responsible says that Skeena steelhead runs are at record levels and the issue is not one of conservation, but of who gets what.

In 2009, DFO cut our Skeena sockeye catches in half. It is time to stop the experiment and increase our catch rates to levels that make biological and financial sense.

It is time to legislate Editor: Every four years the democratic process allows the citizens of B.C. to go to the polls and elect representatives to govern their province.

And under the Constitution of Canada and the B.C. Legislature, the MLAs and the ruling government exercise that responsibility.

Part of that responsibility is to provide public education to the children of B.C. first established by the B.C. Legislature in 1872 as a move to “update” our education system and provide that B.C. had an educated citizenry to move the province forward in the years to come.

The present dispute between the teachers, government and, of course, the children and

families has gone on too long. And although the government and the teachers have both said they do not want a legislated resolve to this dispute, the government has a responsibility to ensure that public education is provided for the children of B.C. Yes it is complicated, and the ongoing court case is a major stumbling block. The government of B.C. has a duty to provide public education to the children and families of B.C. The government’s refusal to exercise that responsibility is an abdication of their elected duty.

RE:PORT

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

North Coast people at the ...

Heart of our City

Around the world and back again Ocean Rutherford always looks home

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Prince Rupert’s Ocean Rutherford has travelled all around the world, but has always looked forward to returning to her hometown.

“The only continents I have not been to are Asia and Antarctica. And I’m fairly certain I’m going to Asia in December, so then it will just be Antarctica,” Ocean laughed.

“I always come home. Prince Rupert is definitely my home base ... I feel pretty connected and committed to this place.”

A fourth generation North Coaster and one of three children, Ocean has lived in the same house that she was brought home to as a baby for most of her life.

On her father’s side, her great-grandparents came from Sweden and settled in Oona River after immigrating to Canada, with her mother’s family moving to Prince Rupert from the prairies.

Ocean’s family inherited her great-grandparents’ Oona River home, which the couple had built completely by themselves including clearing the homestead land by hand, after their passing. Ocean’s family has spent as much time as possible at the family home over the years.

“The place in Oona River has been a summer home and weekend getaway for us,” explained Ocean, who recalls memories of her family having fires on the beach, biking and exploring together and attending potlatches in the community.

She says they enjoyed living the simple life together in Oona River throughout her upbringing.

The Rutherford family have always been close, with Ocean considering her siblings to be some of her best friends. She said she looks up to her younger brother Leo for taking advantage of everything the North Coast has to offer and living his life to the fullest, and is proud to say her younger sister Eva is “the most academic” and “emotionally intelligent” of the siblings.

Ocean refers to Oona River as a “special place” that is very connected to the older ways of living; something she appreciates about the coastal community.

“It’s very quiet, and everybody seems to know how to work with their hands and fix any problem that may arise,” she said.

The community’s willingness to help each other out is one of Ocean’s favourite aspects of Oona River. For example, during a recent trip Ocean and her younger sister Eva made to Oona River some plumping issues arose at the house.

“That week we were out there we didn’t eat supper at our house once. We ended up being invited out to other people’s houses for dinner every night,” she said.

A sense of community is of paramount importance to Ocean, and that’s one of the many reasons she cherishes Prince Rupert; she says the community and its residents are down to earth and practical.

Numerous friendships that Ocean has within Prince Rupert and Oona River have allowed for her to explore North Coast, whether that be on the water or deep in the wilderness.

All the time she’s spent outdoors have instilled a passion for environmental activism in Ocean, with the 22-year-

Ocean Rutherford stops and smiles while onboard the Pacific Swift- A SALTS Tall Ship. Ocean was invited on the vessel for a tour by its crew members, who she had gotten to know while working at the Earl Mah Aquatic Centre. It was one of many opportunities for exploration Ocean has taken advantage of on the North Coast.

old Rupertite participating in many anti-Enbridge events in Prince Rupert, and even making a presentation to the National Energy Board Joint Review Panel during one of its hearings on the proposed Northern Gateway Project.

After the bulk carrier Amakusa Island ran aground off of Ridley Island in July, Ocean took photos of the vessel and sent them to provincial and national news outlets in an attempt to “spread the message that accidents do happen”, which she thought was important to do with all of the projects being proposed in the area.

Professionally, Ocean has worked as a lifeguard at the Earl Mah Aquatic Centre since she was a Grade 11 student at Prince Rupert Secondary School, something she fell into.

Ocean had a spare block when she was in Grade 10 and would frequently go to the pool to pass time. Kendal Sheppard, the facility’s aquatic leader, took notice of Ocean and encouraged her to get the training to become a lifeguard. Having a “why not?” attitude, Ocean completed the training and ended up loving every minute of it.

“Something very innocent that I didn’t think twice about has become almost a career for me, and definitely a lifestyle,” she said, adding she may have been preprogrammed to love the water because of her name.

“I use to hate my name. I believed as a child that if I saved up $50 I could get the government to change my name. Though once kids at school began getting used to it, so did I,” she said.

Ocean continued her job as lifeguard after she graduated in 2009, but left in 2010 after being accepted for a six-month exchange program with Canada World Youth.

The exchange was agricultural-based, with participants working at an organic vegetable farm in rural Quebec for the first three months then heading to the African country of Mali.

“Mali was the first country I had been to outside of Canada ... it’s actually the place that Timbuktu is located,” she said.

For Ocean, the experience was the most challenging thing she’s ever dealt with, with group members living in mud huts deep in the wilderness. It was unlike anything she had experienced before.

“I just dreamed of coming home. I dreamed of the sea

water, grocery stores, being with my family, and just the comfort of living in the place that you grew up in and knew so well,” she explained.

Today Ocean is thankful she had the experience, but admitted it took awhile to process everything.

“Nothing I’ve come across has challenged me as much as that did. I really recommend it,” Ocean said.

“It was very hard, but rewarding in the end.”

Shortly after leaving Africa, Ocean travelled to Bolivia with a friend she had met on the Canada World Youth. Her friend’s father lived in Bolivia, with the family being very important in the country. Ocean said she witnessed a level of wealth she never experienced before, even in Canada.

“Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in South America, but I was saw it through a very different lens,” she said.

After returning to Prince Rupert, Ocean was rehired at the pool, and since has made sure to keep her international trips shorter in length. Ocean’s job at the Earl Mah Aquatic Centre has given her the flexibility to see the world, with the annual maintenance providing opportunities to leave.

But she also says her boss has been extremely supportive, allowing her to take time off to travel.

Ocean’s most recent trip was in 2012 when she traveled to New Zealand where she visited an exchange student she had met at PRSS. “For years I had been (drawn) to New Zealand. I thought I was going to go over there and fall in love with the country and find my soul-mate and never want to come back,” she said.

“It was so confusing for me because at the end of the trip I wanted to come home. The place that I had always imagined would be my heaven on earth still couldn’t be replaced by Prince Rupert.”

Ocean’s most recent international journey was to Europe, where she visited family in Sweden and tried to get in touch with her culture.

But still, Ocean says it’s Prince Rupert that provided her with the understanding of who she is. While she still plans to continue exploring the world, Ocean cannot envision calling anywhere but the North Coast her home.

“I cannot see living anywhere else just yet,” she said.

Despite increase at Fairview, port traffic down Streak of record years at risk

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

While all but one terminal in the Port of Prince Rupert saw increases in August, there still was a small decline in overall tonnage handled last month.

Fairview Terminal saw nothing but increasing tonnage last month.

Throughout the month of August, 64,257 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) were handled at Fairview, up 24 per cent from August 2013’s total of 51,651.

By August’s end 409,683 TEUs had gone through the terminal, an increase of 14 per cent compared to the first eight months of 2013 when 358,716 TEUs were handled.

Imports were up this August by 16 per cent at Fairview, with 36,744 TEUs being moved while in August 2013 31,679 TEUs were imported.

The result is that by August’s end 243,328 TEUs were imported through the terminal in 2014, up 21 per cent from the same period of time in 2013 when 201,640 TEUs were shipped out.

Exports jumped 38 per cent in August, with 27,513 TEUs going through Fairview in contrast to 19,972 TEUs in August 2013. Of this,

there were 13 per cent more loaded TEUs leaving Fairview, and 91 per cent more empty TEUs. Year-todate, six per cent more TEUs were exported with 166,355 TEUs leaving the operation by August’s end, compared to 157,075 in the first eight months of 2013.

Prince Rupert Grain saw a massive spike in tonnage last month, with 653,660 tonnes being shipped compared to 292,181 tonnes in August 2013; a 124 per cent jump. By August’s end 34 per cent more grain was handled year-over-year, with 4,549,038 tonnes being moved so far this year in contrast to 3,407,134 tonnes in 2013.

Airport terminal renovations now underway Upgrades to finish next summer

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Upgrades at the Prince Rupert Airport (YPR) are moving along, with airfield improvements wrapping up last weekend.

The Prince Rupert Airport Authority announced its plans to redo both the interior and exterior of the airport earlier this summer. Since then more than 6,000 feet of runway has been reasphalted, with the crew finishing the runway at the beginning of the month.

Furthermore, the airport’s Instrument Landing System is now back in place.

While the runway apron and a taxiway were supposed to be done around the same time, YPR manager Richard Reed said a shortage of materials meant the crew was unable to finish the runway apron and a taxiway until this past weekend. But he’s pleased to say the task is done.

While it was initially included in the scope of work, the airport access road on Digby Island will no longer have its asphalt redone.

Reed said the City of Prince Rupert has offered to contribute up to $50,000 to repair some of the potholes on the roadway, but noted both the city and the Prince Rupert Airport Authority believe

the access road needs to be addressed by the province.

“It requires a great deal of money, upwards of $2 million ... it really is an issue to be solved by the province. We’re not going to put all of that money into it when we need to put the money into the terminal building and airfield,” he said.

And renovations to the terminal building are now underway, with the replacement of the roof being completed late last week.

“We’re moving right along [with the terminal building]. We’re progressing really well,” said Reed, adding the task of expanding the passenger holding room has started.

REGISTRATION 2014-2015 SEASON

“We’re progressing really well.”

The first phase of YPR upgrades will be complete by the end of the year, which includes expanding and updating the hold room, relocating and updating the west side of the building where administration is and

finishing the construction of brand new washrooms.

Reed noted that the $10 million spent on airfield work will remain in the community, as only local contractors were hired. He added a majority of the terminal work will be done by local groups, as well.

According to Reed, all of the upgrades to YPR will be done by summer 2015.

Ridley Terminals Inc. facing challenging years ahead “There’s no question that we’re in a heavy storm.�

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Despite positive growth in 2013, Ridley Terminals Inc. (RTI) is expecting some tough years ahead.

Numbers released at the Sept. 7 Annual General Meeting show the company’s total revenue increased by $26.6 million compared to 2012 to sit at $131 million while the net operating profit increased 39 per cent year-overyear to sit at $65 million at the end of last year. “So we do have a facility that’s improved and we do have a good bit of money in the bank, which is a good thing. We can survive heavy storms, but there’s no question that we’re in a heavy storm,� said RTI president George Dorsey. “We don’t know how long it’s going to last. It could be two years, it could be six years, but it won’t be in the next few months that things turn around.�

The comments came just before a Central One Credit Union report was released that paints a bleak picture of the coal industry in northeastern B.C. “B.C.’s metallurgical coal sector is showing signs of buckling as persistent softness in the global economy, particularly in Asian markets, has continued to drive prices lower and made local mines uneconomical.

Coking coal prices (Australian FOB)

- George Dorsey have fallen to six-year lows ... the consensus coal price forecast is for the benchmark to reach about $132/tonne (USD) this year – in comparison, the value was above $300 in 2011,� Central One wrote in its Economic Prospects for Northeastern B.C. report. “Prospects for a near-term turnaround in the coal sector are low.

Consensus forecasts show a moderate rebound in price over the next few years, but levels are not expected to return to 2013 levels until about 2018.

Higher metallurgical coal production requires higher demand for steel, which ultimately reflects a stronger demand cycle in emerging market economies.

Long-term demand is expected to strengthen due to economic growth of emerging markets and particularly China, but prospects for an aggressive medium-term growth cycle are dim.

Challenges to growth persist with a sluggish European economy and a focus by China on re-orienting its economy towards domestic consumption rather than industrial

School district outlines budgetary priorities Board hopes to move to Westview

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

School District 52 (SD52) is hoping the provincial government will approve funding for its project wish list.

Last week SD52’s board of education approved a request for three projects it would like to include in the 2014/2015 school year capital budget, including the replacement of Prince Rupert Middle School (PRMS), a new consolidated board office in the former Westview Elementary building and a new special needs bus.

“The main priority is to get a replacement middle school. [Like the rest] of the province, we wait for the day the government will start to announce new capital projects and hope we will be on that list when it does,” said Cam McIntyre, secretary-treasurer of the Prince Rupert School District, at the Sept. 9 school board meeting.

The district is estimating it would cost approximately $24 million to replace the more than 50-year-old building that currently houses PRMS. While whether or not the funding will be approved is yet to be seen, the B.C. Ministry of Education rated the replacement of PRMS as a high priority in the spring of 2013 because of its aging systems.

SD52 is also requesting the province provide $3.8 million in order to create a combined board office in the old Westview Elementary building.

“Board office functions are currently in three separate locations. We have the board office, one department working in the basement at Conrad and Wap Sigatgyet,” McIntyre told the Northern View.

“We think we could have everyone working together that much better if we saw each other much more regularly.”

McIntyre also noted having one space would save the district money on utilities over time, and the sale of the board office on Sixth Avenue East and the Aboriginal department’s building on Ninth Avenue West would help cover some

moving costs.

Finally, SD52 is asking for $100,000 to replace one of the district’s older special needs buses, which is requiring more and more repairs.

McIntyre said the province usually announces bus funding in the fall, with capital project funding announcements being made post-budget.

B.C. surplus tops $260 million

BY TOM FLETCHER VICTORIA / The Northern View

The B.C. government has increased its projected surplus for the year to $266 million, up $87 million from the July budget estimate.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said taxation and natural resource revenue are running ahead of projections, based on results of the first quarter of the fiscal year. That was offset by unexpected costs for flood control this spring and a forest fire season expected to be one of the costliest on record at $350 million.

The budget surplus is enough to provide a pay increase and other improvements to striking teachers, but what the union is currently asking for amounts to $315 more than the government is offering, this year and every subsequent year, the finance ministry calculates.

De Jong said giving in to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation demands, including their proposal for class size and special needs support, would equate to an increase of $140 a year for the average personal income tax or 4.8 cents per litre in gasoline tax.

Duffers champions take over the golf course Two tournaments highlight one beautiful weekend

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Golf Course was home to two simultaneous tournaments at once over the weekend and both made for an interesting finish.

The men’s and women’s Duffers Tournament took over the club with the men’s club championship running at the same time. Participants in both tourneys entered their scores in the Duffers and men’s club championship.

“The only thing that was different was me and Brian [Holkestad] were sort of in contention for the men’s club championship on the last day and we weren’t playing together so we didn’t really know [the scores] either of us had.

We just had to play our own game and see what happened,” said men’s club championship winner Ian Robinson, who just narrowly beat Holkestad by one stroke with a 36-hole total of 146 for the overall low gross title.

“I thought it was OK,” said Holkestad.

“It would have been nice to play in the club championship with the final group, but it was basically Duffers to start with.

It was a little bit tighter and a little more interesting.”

Holkestad took the men’s club championship overall low net title with a net score of 135 based on a handicap of six.

“My putting was really good both days – that was the main thing,” said Robinson, who last week notched a hole-in-one on hole 13 with a six iron.

For rival Holkestad, it was also his short game that got him to within a stroke of Robinson.

“My putting was really excellent.

Other than the odd penalty off the tee, that was the only thing that got me in trouble. Other than that it was steady all the way,” he said.

First low gross in the men’s club champs went to Ken Bazansky who carded a two-day gross total of 153.

Darcy Koch took the first low net with a net score of 138 off a total of 172.

Ian Robinson, Rose Holkestad, Brian Holkestad and Janet Sheppard celebrate their victory at the Prince Rupert Golf Course after they won the men’s and women’s Duffers tournament and, for Robinson and Brian, the men’s club championship. Robinson captured the overall low gross title for the men’s Duffers and men’s club championship, while Brian took overall low net. Rose won the overall low gross in the women’s Duffers and Sheppard captured the overall low net score.

Robinson won the overall low gross title on the men’s side for the Duffers’ while Holkestad took overall low net with the same scores.

Following up her ladies club championship victory two weeks ago, Rose Holkestad won the women’s Duffers Tournament with a low gross total of 185, beating Janet Sheppard by one stroke. Sheppard captured the overall low net title with a net total of 152 off of 186 strokes. “[Saturday’s] game was better for me.

I wasn’t even paying attention to it and I was doing well on every aspect. [Sunday] not so much, but I had Rose right there and I told her ‘You’ve got to learn to share [the spoils] with your friends’,” she joked.

Sheppard carded an 18-hole total of 89 on Saturday to set herself up for the win by Sunday’s end. She shot 97 on Sunday while Rose carded a consistent 92 on Saturday and 93 on Sunday.

“My drives and my second shots were good,” said Rose.

The golfers had to combat some fog in the morning, but it didn’t seem to affect their game on the ground.

“By the time I went out, anyhow, it was clear. We had no problems seeing the ball,” said Brian.

For the men’s Duffers, the first low net in the championship flight went to Ken Bazansky with the first low nets in the first and second flights going to Koch and Keith Lambourne respectively.

The men’s championship flight first low gross title was awarded to Ron Miller with Terry Sawka and Shane Forman capturing the first low gross titles in the first and second flights respectively.

162 race participants flood Skeena Drive during Cannery Road Race

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

A bright and gorgeous day greeted area runners last Saturday during the 11th Annual North Pacific Cannery Road Race amid passing trains and sun-loving dogs at the historic site.

Leslie Peloquin, Lynn Daniele, Stella Kafka and a barrage of volunteer organizers gathered from 8:30 a.m. until the late afternoon to put on the halfmarathon and post-race barbecue for participants, of which there were 162 in all, with donated fish from Aero Trading. “[The response has been] fantastic,” said Peloquin on Saturday.

“As well, there’s been lots of response out here for the kids ... and it’s an absolutely wonderful day for it. I just hope for our half-marathon-ers it’s not too hot because that’s a 21.1-kilometre run and it can be quite warm.”

The 162 participants beat last year’s totals of 92 adults and 46 children runners.

The 10-kilometre walk and half marathon commenced at 11 a.m. while dozens of eager kids took part in the kids’ one-kilometre fun run 30 minutes later.

For their efforts, they were awarded licorice and cookie medals.

Noon saw the bulk of the runners take off down the gentle slope of the starting point for the five kilometre and 10

Tour de North riders hit the road Killbery, Collins arrive tomorrow

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The 2014 Cops for Cancer Tour de North is now underway, with the grueling week-long cycling trip wrapping up in Prince Rupert Thursday afternoon.

The 24-person team of riders, including Prince Rupert’s Bob Killbery and Cpl. Jennifer Collins, left Prince George on Sept. 12 and have already made stops in Vanderhoof, Fraser Lake, Smithers, Hazelton, Kitimat and Terrace. The final leg of the trip will depart for Prince Rupert early on Thursday morning.

The riders will be arriving in Prince Rupert via McBride late in the afternoon and will make their way through Cow Bay en-route to a wrap-up event scheduled for the Northland Cruise Dock area at 5:30 p.m.

The Canadian Cancer Society is encouraging everyone to come out and welcome the riders and show their support of their efforts in raising funds to fight pediatric

cancer. Refreshments will be served and it will be the final opportunity to get raffle tickets for a trip for two to Vancouver or a round-trip to Haida Gwaii or a night at the Crest Hotel’s Treat Suite in support of the fundraising efforts of the two Prince Rupert riders. “We would just like to see people, lots of people, there to greet us and support us as we finish the 800-plus kilometre ride. The more the merrier,� said Cpl. Collins. “Each community on the ride does a welcome event that is sponsored by community champions, so that no money is used from the Cancer Society proceeds.�

This is the second time Killbery and Collins have teamed up for the tour, first riding from Prince George to Prince Rupert in 2012. Between the two tours, the two have raised more than $11,000 for pediatric cancer research and the Canadian Cancer Society’s Camp Goodtimes.

Look for coverage of the Cops for Cancer Tour de North in next week’s issue of the Northern View.

Bob Killbery and Cpl. Jennifer Collins will be rolling into town on Thursday afternoon for the conclusion of the Cops for Cancer Tour de North.

Players prepare for Kaijudo World Championships It was a magical weekend and one that 12-yearold Jonathan Boutilier won’t soon forget as he became the youngest ever qualifier for the Kaijudo World Championships to be held in Providence, Rhode Island in October.

Good Times Games teamed up with Pacific NorthWest LNG to host the largest Kaijudo Master Challenge taking place in North America this year and saw nearly 70 contestants aged five to adult come out to compete for the chance to represent Prince Rupert at the championship.

Good Times has been awarded this prestigious event for the fourth consecutive season, being the only game store that has done so. Players fought through six rounds of head-to-head Swiss play over the Sept. 6 event, then the Top 8 faced off to see which two players would represent Good Times and Prince Rupert at the big event next month. “To have our Top 8 finishers range in age from 11 to 20 is a testament to our amazing local player base. We had six female players in our top 20 as well,� said Rob Gruber, co-owner of Good Times and tournament organizer for the event.

When it all was said and done, Boutilier was crowned champion after defeating past qualifier Alex Hembroff in the final match.

Nearly all the players in attendance were from the Northwest with the exception of four players

who traveled all the way from Victoria B.C. to compete. “The turnout was amazing thanks in part to our friends at Pacific NorthWest LNG providing lunch for everyone and a large selection of prizes to ensure that every player had something to go home with,� said Gruber. “Pacific NorthWest LNG was proud to partner with Good Times Games in hosting its most recent Kaijudo Tournament,� added Pacific NorthWest LNG community relations adviser, Derek Baker. “As a company that plans to be a major employer in the region for many decades, it is important for us to get involved and support these type of community building activities.�

Boutilier and Hembroff earned free travel and entry into the World Championships, they will be traveling with Gruber, Ryan Last and the Winther Family (the youngest son Kevin earned his place at a qualifier in Victoria) as well as Olivia Godin to the big event next month. “We are excited to represent Good Times and Prince Rupert in Rhode Island, the fact that our Kaijudo player base rivals major cities in North America is still unbelievable to me,� added Gruber. “Let’s hope Jonathan, Alex or Kevin can win it all now so we can say Prince Rupert is home to the 2014 Kaijudo World Champion next.�

Rob Gruber, third from left, joins Top 8 finishers Rylie Millar, Amber Lindquist, Kevin Winther, Alexander Hembroff, Kyler Trim, Zach Knockwood and Jonathan Boutilier.

Private investigator looking into Highway of Tears Seeking witnesses and family

BY JAMIE HARKINS PRINCE RUPERT / Black Press

A private investigator has taken on the difficult case of trying to bring justice and closure to the many family members and friends affected by the Highway of Tears tragedy, but he first needs their help to complete his review of the many unsolved cases of murdered and missing victims. “If there is a witness out there and if they step forward, my first objective would be to ensure that information is given to the RCMP investigators or any investigators that are dealing with the E-PANA [a RCMP work looking into the Highway of Tears case load] project,� said Lee Hanlon, a criminologist and private investigator based out of Mission.

Hanlon said there are 18 Highway of Tears victims spanning the distance of Highway. 16 from Prince George to Prince Rupert and he would like to speak to the surviving family members of the victims, as well as anyone who may have information.

His private Highway of Tears investigation began approximately two weeks ago when he started reviewing all the media information on the case load, but he first became interested in the cases through a previous investigation. “There is one case that I did work on that I reviewed [and] it was KathrynMary Herbert,� he said, noting this

“There is still a long way to go. I really couldn’t say a time line.�

- Lee Hanlon work began shortly after he graduated from the criminology program at the University of the Fraser Valley in 2012. “She was abducted in Abbotsford back in 1975 and the investigators state that the same suspect in the Herbert case is the same suspect in the Theresa Hildebrandt 1976 Abbotsford case and [the] Monica Jack [case] from Merritt in 1978.

Monica Jack is on the Highway of Tears file. She’s included in the E-PANA file that the RCMP are covering.�

Hanlon said his interest in investigative work and victims’ advocacy stems from his work as a victims’ rights advocate since 1999, along with his eight-year tenure as a B.C. paralegal during that time. Before becoming a private investigator, which should change from a restricted status to a full PI status by the end of the year, Hanlon served in the military for 17 years.

He said the Herbert file was the first cold case he ever worked on as a private investigator and he learned a lot of useful information while

reviewing the case, which he handed off to investigators. Hanlon said the Highway of Tears case load is big considering the number of victims involved. “There is still a long way to go,� he said. “I really couldn’t say a time line [to completion]. I mean if no one is willing to speak to me then that part will never get done, but it’s all up to how long it will take for me to be able to speak to surviving members of the victims [and] their family members.�

Report: Ferry savings offset by social costs

BY TOM FLETCHER VICTORIA / The Northern View

Rising ferry fares and declining traffic are costing the economy millions more than the revenues accruing to BC Ferries, according to a study prepared for discussion at this month’s local government convention.

Based on what it is calling the first ever “socio-economic” study of ferry use and costs, the Union of B.C. Municipalities executive is recommending the province reverse its November 2013 decision to continue raising ferry rates beyond the rate of inflation.

The report refers to passenger declines of 20 to 40 per cent on northern routes, 10 to 20 per cent on minor routes and five to eight per cent on major routes. The report finds that “ferry ridership declines run counter to the trend of transportation volume increases in most other modes of transport in B.C., including vehicle and air transport”.

However, numbers from the North Coast don’t reflect the 20 to 40 per cent passenger decline cited by the report. According to BC Ferries statistics, the number of passengers sailing between Prince Rupert and Skidegate is down 6.51 per cent so far this year while vehicle traffic is down 3.05 per cent. Ridership on the Inside Passage is up in 2014.

The report estimates that if fare increases had been kept to the rate of inflation, passenger volumes would have grown by 19 per cent over the past decade, adding $2.3 billion to the province’s gross domestic product.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone and previous ministers have argued that ridership declines have been seen on Interior ferries that charge no fares and on other travel affected by rising fuel prices.

The UBCM executive wants the provincial government to take a “pause” in rate increases set by B.C. Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee.

Current rate caps allow for maximum increases of four per cent this year and 3.9 per cent in 2015.

Raven Ann Potschka and Yolanda Clatworthy are bringing youth from Indonesia and across the country to Haida Gwaii for volunteer experience as part of the Canada World Youth program.

World youth coming to Haida Gwaii Host families desperately needed

BY SHAUN THOMAS HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View

Canada World Youth is coming to Haida Gwaii for the first time in program history and organizers are looking for some families willing to open their home to young people from across the country and across the globe.

The Youth Leaders in Action program will bring nine Canadians and nine young people from Indonesia to Masset and Old Massett for four months beginning Oct. 7 to not only learn the culture of the area but make a difference in the community through volunteer work.

“Each program has a theme and our dual theme for the Haida Gwaii visit is health and the environment.

So every project we do will be related

to either health or the Haida Gwaii environment,” explained program supervisor Yolanda Clatworthy, noting students will provide approximately 4,000 hours of volunteer work.

“Some of the volunteer work will be with the hospital, some in schools, some with the Ministry of Environment, some with farm-to-food programs and those type of areas.”

But before the students arrive, Clatworthy and Masset-local Raven Ann Potschka are looking for more families to host one Canadian youth and one Indonesian youth for the duration of their stay.

“There is definitely a lot of interest, but right now we have five confirmed families so we need five more ... the program starts in early October, so this needs to be sorted out before the. The

sooner we can confirm host families the better,” said Clatworthy on Sept.

13, noting host parents receive the support of program supervisors and $720 per month to help with expenses.

“This ‘Youth Leaders in Action Program’; the first of it kind in the west of Canada, will give our community a place on the map for renowned involvement with international youth initiatives. Lets make this the best host community experience for the 18 youth volunteers and be proud to step-up for the challenges facing our global community,” added Potschka.

Anyone with a spare room who is able to host youth from the program can contact Yolanda or Raven. Raven can be reached at 778-867-3464, and Yolanda at 250-626-7301 or by email at yclatworthy@cwy-jcm.org.

A small group of people completed a walk from Smithers to Prince Rupert last week in hopes of reconnecting to Mother Earth and each other.

The 350 kilometre journey also aims to raise awareness for pancreatic cancer and promote emotional, spiritual, mental and physical healing.

Melanie Smoke, who had a form of pancreatic cancer, organized the walk last year and was moved to do it again this year. “I let go, out of a lot of past trauma issues. I lost my dad in

2001 on the river and he was never found. I got to walk all of those kilometres, those 300 kilometres to get to where he went missing and pray for his spirit to go home and pray for my family. That was my journey last year,� Smoke said. “There was a girl named Kimberly who came with us last year and she had lost her sister to the Highway of Tears.

She walked over 200 kilometres before she let go of the pain and the guilt that was holding her to that great loss.�

Melanie’s daughter Shanna joined her last year and participated again this year. “My foster daughter came with us, she is eight years old.

At her young age, she let go of a lot of (abandonment) issues and we got really close,� she said. “It was really spiritual last year,� said Shanna. “I’m most excited this year to get to the ocean and have more people join us along the way.�

Patsy Green is walking with the group from Smithers to Hazelton. “My son was murdered, his murderer got off. I want to raise awareness of that and that is why I’m doing this,� he said.

Five people left Smithers on Sept. 7, but not before doing a ceremony. The group arrived in Prince Rupert on Sept. 9.

Parking stolen a more expensive car than you a sub-compact like the Fiesta was a can actually afford.

winter roads should not be a problem.

Of course, you would want to invest in a good set of winter tires.

Beyond the city limits, out on the highway, heading south it handled the road well, with enough get up and go for good passing power when needed.

It’s quite roomy for a small car. There’s room for three in the back seat as long as those passengers are not of a larger body type, if I may delicately put it that way. If you are of a larger body type, there is plenty of room in the trunk, if you desperately need a ride at that exact moment. (Just kidding.) But it does tell you the trunk is also roomy!

Verdict: No complaints. For a sub-compact, you get great tech options, great fuel economy, in a car that doesn’t feel like you are driving something as inexpensive as it is. It’s fun and zippy for driving around town or highway driving. If you need a small car as a

daily commuter or it’s your second car to accommodate a bigger SUV or truck, I would recommend taking one out for a test drive to see if it fits for you in what you are looking for in a car. The Fiesta right now for me is tops in the subcompact class.

The Ford Flex Crossover Flex is a short name for a big Ford utility/wagon type vehicle that can accommodate six or seven people with ease and seat them with an impressive degree of comfort.

Made in Canada, Flex is a hard-to-categorize vehicle that was introduced for the 2009 model year. Not a car, a minivan or an SUV, Flex borrows from them all, so the ‘crossover’ tag is also very appropriate.

Styling lines Stylistically the Ford Flex dares to be different. What appears at first glance provide an to be a simple two-box design is interesting actually more complex. It has generwrapper for what ally straight styling lines yet there are is actually a very no sharp corners. Its two-tone paint practical family finish is separated by the dark centre greenhouse section, which gives Flex vehicle. a distinctive ‘floating roof’ appearance Bob McHugh that’s also appealing.

On the inside, even with all its seats upright there’s still 566 litres (20 cu ft) of cargo space in the back. That jumps to 1,224 litres (43.2 cu. ft) with the third row down and a whopping 2,355 litres (83.2 cu. ft) with the second row flat. The front passenger seat can also fold forward and allows Flex to swallow 3-metre (10 ft) long object, with its liftgate closed. Flex can also have an impressive max towing capacity of 2,041 kg (4,500 lbs), when properly equipped.

Originally (in 2009) Flex just came in SEL and Limited trim levels and all-wheel drive was a ($2,000) optional offering. The only engine was a 3.5-litre V6 engine that can deliver 262 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 248 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,500 rpm. It’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and drive goes to the front wheels. Highway fuel economy is surprisingly good 8.4 L/100 km, but the city rating is a much thirstier 12.6 L/100km.

Two changes came in 2010 in the form of a new (lower-priced) entry level SE trim version of Flex and the other was a new optional 3.5 litre V6 EcoBoost engine (Limited trim only). Turbochargers and

One that came the nickname Bigfoot to mind was Midwest because of the way Four-Wheel-Drive & Performance Centre, owned Bob would drive it,

by Bob Chandler, creator heavy foot on the gas of the legendary Bigfoot monster trucks. Back then pedal. large off-road tires for Ian Harwood pickups were not available; this forced Bob to think outside the box and looked to the agriculture industry. He bought a set of 48” tall Firestone tires and along with some custom made wheels; he mounted them onto his truck.

People from all over the states started talking about his truck. He was invited to car shows and tractor pulls and that started drawing attention from the four wheel drive magazines. His shop also started to grow rather quickly with all the new interests in 4x4 modifications. A mechanic in his shop gave the truck the nickname Bigfoot because of the way Bob would drive it, heavy foot on the gas pedal.

I was looking through one of those magazines and saw a small picture taken from just outside the shop bay door.

It was his truck with 66” tall Goodyear tires. I remember thinking he was crazy. After that the monster truck craze began. I was fortunate enough to meet Bob at a trade show in Las Vegas. His truck was there on display and he was outside sitting at a table having lunch. I approached him, not recognizing him in his cowboy hat and asked if the spare seat was taken. Very nice man, he shared with me some of his frustrations with parts breaking and how he ended up custom building a lot of parts in his own shop. Other people

The MyKey security feature and an AutoFold 60/40 bench seat were both added as standard equipment in all Flex trim levels.

A new top-line Titanium edition of Flex was added to the product line in 2011. It comes with the V6 EcoBoost engine and allwheel-drive. And other than a switch to a centrally mounted rear windshield wiper there were no significant changes in 2012. The 2013 edition of Flex got a mid-life styling refresh that included a slicker new front-end treatment plus minor improvements to both

engine offerings.

Safety ratings are all top-notch and this, plus high owner reliability ratings, has helped put the Ford Flex on Consumer Reports “Recommended” list of vehicle buys. Although not as fuel-efficient, the standard 3.5 litre engine reportedly has fewer problems compared to the newer and more powerful turbo-charged V6 engine option.

Ford Flex not only looks different, it is different … and it’s a Canadian! Polarizing (love/hate) styling lines provide an interesting wrapper for what is actually a very practical family vehicle. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Whether flying through the air or crushing cars, Bigfoot is a site to behold. started building their own trucks and soon side-by-side competition began.

There were crazy names for these trucks such as; Goliath, Taurus, King-Kong, Grave Digger, and Samson. It was a big thrill for many just to see these trucks drive slowly over some junk cars. They would stop in the middle and get out a wave. Soon fans wanted to see more, so the trucks would pop a wheelie before crushing them. Two cars became eight and then buses.

I saw Taurus drive up several cars and onto the roof of two double decker buses. The truck came very close to rolling off, but after a few adjustments to the rear steering he climbed along and then off. The suspension of that time was more

about lift height to accommodate the largest tires rather than full suspension travel which came next. The Baja race trucks could handle large jumps without any trouble, so the monster trucks started the change. Massive coil over shocks and four-point suspension that could handle the weight and abuse these trucks would dish out. Now the monster trucks could hit the cars at tremendous speed and fly through the air impressing all. Bigfoot #18 holds the Guinness World Record for the longest jump by a Monster truck at 214’ 8”.

The popularity of these trucks continues to grow to this day and with more advanced technology who knows what the next wave of Monster Trucks will look like? ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Gross. There is no other word for something witnessed dozens of time this summer along the Coquihalla Highway and Okanagan Connector. Men openly relieving themselves at the side of the road. Are they frightened a bear or snake will get them if they head for the bush?
