The Ministry of Children and Family Development is defending its support for families of children diagnosed with autism following concerns raised by the family of Angie and Robert Robinson.
As reported last week, the Robinson family is calling into question supports available in Prince Rupert families with autistic youth following the April 3 murder-suicide on Ebert Street. In a statement, the ministry said there is support for families across B.C.
“For children under age six, families are eligible for up to $22,000 per year to assist with the cost
of autism intervention services, based on best practice, to promote their child’s communication, social-emotional, pre-academic and functional life-skills development. For children age six to 18, families receive funding up to $6,000 per year to assist with the cost of out-of-school intervention services to promote their child’s communication, social-emotional, academic and functional life skills,” the ministry said.
“B.C. is the only province in Canada that has a no-waitlist policy for families to access autism funding once their child or youth has received a confirmed diagnosis ... with autism funding, families are able to choose the type of intervention ... that best meets the needs of their child.”
But a former resident commenting on the story through social media agrees with the Robinsons.
“As a parent of a child with autism and a former resident of Prince Rupert, I can say that the services in Rupert are non-existent,” wrote Carmen Helin.
“I can not imagine doing this journey with my son without the supports he and our family have in Vancouver.
The Robinson family declined comment.

As Enbridge Northern Gateway continues to struggle to gain social licence in the Northwest, Eagle Spirit Energy president and CEO Calvin Helin has proposed an alternate oil pipeline to carry crude to the coast.
The project would see a refinery built to turn bitumen into synthetic crude oil, with Helin saying First Nations have “unequivocally told us they don’t want bitumen being shipped either through the provincial waters”. Helin declined to name locations being considered for a terminus port, only saying feedback was it shouldn’t be in Kitimat, but a meeting in Lax Kw’alaams last October pointed to Eagle Spirit pursuing a refinery at Grassy Point.
While discussions are very preliminary, Helin said the project hinges entirely on First Nations.
“This is going to be a First Nations-led initiative,” he said.

“We’re going to do whatever it takes, but if First Nations aren’t for this then we won’t do it,” he said.
Helin said the company gathered feedback from First Nations communities for more than a year to learn how to earn a social licence for its proposal, announcing April 14 it had signed a “substantial number” of non-disclosure agreements with northern bands to explore alternate solutions to the Northern Gateway project. Eagle Spirit Energy and the Aquilini Group, partners in the project, claim the idea is backed by many First Nations, even some opposed to Northern Gateway.
If First Nations approve the idea, the Aquilini Group has committed to underwrite the estimated $18 billion cost of the pipeline.
However, Helin noted not all bands that signed non-disclosure agreements are in favour of the idea, but are merely willing to discuss it.
The claim of significant
support has been called into question by Coastal First Nations executive director Art Sterritt.
“All Eagle Spirit has been able to demonstrate is that they have the support of two First Nations,” he said, adding the alliance of First Nations on B.C.’s North and Central Coast and Haida Gwaii does not approve the project any more than it does Northern Gateway.
“For Eagle Spirit to think somehow light crude is going to be more acceptable to Coastal First Nations is erroneous ... there is no way the Coastal First Nations would ever think a project that would get synthetic
crude to the coast would be anymore acceptable than bitumen.”
Sterritt said a spill in this area would destroy a longtime source of food for First Nations because the industry “doesn’t know how to clean up synthetic crude anymore than they do bitumen”. He also said the site of the Alaskan Exxon Valdez spill has an intertidal zone much smaller than Prince Rupert and surrounding area, and most of the oil from the 1989 incident hasn’t been
recovered. “While I respect that
Calvin Helin thinks he’s coming up with a solution that people might find more environmentally acceptable, the reality is it’s just as bad,” he said.
Lax Kw’alaams Mayor Garry Reece and Metlakatla Chief Harold Leighton did not immediately return requests for comment by the Northern View. Both Tsimshian Nations have previously opposed oil pipelines and tankers within their traditional territories.
The Northern View archivesCalvin Helin, seen launching Eagle Spirit Energy during a conference in Prince Rupert in 2012, is proposing a project to ship crude oil from the North Coast.
No support for proposal: SterrittTax hike vote put on hold
BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
After voting against a bylaw to increase taxes by 1.2 per cent, Prince Rupert city council met again on Wednesday to discuss the budget but decided to table any discussion until this week.
The catalyst for the tabling of the budget was the absence of Coun. Joy Thorkelson, leaving six councillors in chamber as opposed to the full slate of seven. The motion was made by Coun. Gina Garon, but quickly found favour among others around the table.
“The reason I am voting in favour of this, when I normally wouldn’t if someone is away, but seeing how people have voted in the past means we would likely be deadlocked and it would be a waste,” said Coun. Anna Ashley, alluding to the mix of three members of council who voted against the 1.2 per cent tax increase on Monday and three who previously voted in favour of it.
“If everyone is here we might be able to pass something and move on.”
Coun. Barry Cunningham said his vote wasn’t necessarily related to a deadlock, but was about ensuring everyone had a say in the finances of the city.
“It is a hotly debated item and I think we should all be here for it,” he said.
Council was to meet yesterday and today to debate the budget. Look for reports from those meetings online at thenorthernview.com.

In a crisis some people are able to do things they didn’t think were possible.
Prince Rupert’s Gianna Evans is living proof of that. Earlier this year, the 12-year-old performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on her father before emergency responders arrived, despite not knowing how.
“I watched a movie a couple of days before, and one thing the main character kept saying was ‘nothing’s impossible’. That’s what I was thinking,” Gianna said.
In January Gianna was laying in bed one night when she heard Bill, her dad, arrive home from work.
“As soon as I closed my eyes I heard a big boom,” she said.
Upon investigation, Gianna saw her father gasping for air and turning blue on the hallway floor; Bill had a heart attack on his way up the stairs.
Although she wasn’t entirely sure how to, Gianna began performing CPR in an effort to revive him. Meanwhile, her mother Kori and brother Michael called 911.
“If Gianna wasn’t home that night, he wouldn’t be here today. I couldn’t comprehend what was happening,” said Kori, who was so
overwhelmed with panic she couldn’t even provide the dispatcher with the family’s address.
Bill was transferred to St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver and was in a coma for 12 days. But doctors from Prince Rupert and Vancouver agreed that without Gianna’s quick thinking the outcome would have been much different.
Bill doesn’t remember anything that happened that the night, but is
grateful for his daughter’s efforts. “Even the surgeon told me I
wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my daughter,” Bill said, with Gianna joking, “I think I was the favourite child when he found out.”
Gianna had an idea of how to perform CPR because of a babysitting course she took, but attributes her success to her demi-character dance solo where she pretends to perform CPR.
Martina Perry / The Northern ViewGianna Evans gives her dad, Bill, a kiss on the cheek, something she is only able to do after her quick thinking saved his life.

BCTF job action begins today
BY TOM FLETCHER PRINCE RUPERT / Black Press
After rejecting an offer from the school district bargaining agency for a long-term contract, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation has served notice it will begin work-to-rule action on April 23.
BCTF president Jim Iker announced Thursday that 72-hour notice has been given, after union members voted 89 per cent in March to endorse a three-stage strike plan. Phase one includes refusing communication with school managers, arriving no more than an hour before and leaving an hour after school hours and refusing supervision of students outside class time.
It does not affect pre-arranged voluntary activities such as coaching, but the refusal of supervision requires essential service levels that compel some teachers to assure the safety of students while they are out of classes. Report card preparation and parent meetings will continue.
Iker said progress at the bargaining table will determine how long phase one action would last.
Phase two of the BCTF plan is rotating one-day walkouts in districts around the province. Phase three, a full-scale strike, would require a second vote by members to authorize.
The BCTF has rejected the government’s offer for a 10-year agreement with pay increases totalling 6.5 per cent over the first six years and additional wage increases to be negotiated for the final four years.
This is the second of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the B.C.
environment in our lifetime. The Alberta oil industry’s Northern
Gateway plan is to export bitumen to Asia via tankers from the B.C. coast. Under no circumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy our coastline, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years.
My first column discussed the light oil spill by the Exxon Valdez and the terrible toll it took on the Alaskan habitat and fishery. It also gave proof that a bitumen spill would be far worse. A bitumen spill would be almost completely unrecoverable because it would sink and stay on the bottom of our seabed.
The solution that is best for Canada is to build a refinery in Kitimat. I am promoting and backing this solution. It will convert the bitumen to very light fuels that would float and evaporate if ever spilled. There are other enormous benefits:
— There will be a major reduction in greenhouse gases. We will use new cutting-edge Canadian technology in our refinery. It will be so clean that in combination with oilsands extraction there will be less CO2 than in the huge conventional oilfields and refineries of Iraq and Nigeria. In other words the Kitimat refinery will neutralize the extra greenhouse gases generated in Canada’s oilsands. This refinery will be built in Asia if not in Kitimat, and if so it will emit double the CO2 of our new design. This is the reason that Andrew Weaver of the B.C. Green Party is in favour of a Canadian refinery.
— An Asian refinery will also generate 100 train cars a day of very dirty coke (much fouler than B.C. coal) which will be subsequently burnt in the atmosphere to create power. The Kitimat refinery will not result in the production of any coke. As we all live on one planet, it is far better for the global environment to build this refinery in
Canada.— Construction of the
refinery will create 6,000 jobs in B.C. for five years. Operations at the refinery will result in more permanent jobs than any project has ever created in B.C. with approximately 3,000 direct jobs. These will be highly paid permanent jobs. These jobs will be available for the life of the refinery which should be in excess of 50 years. In addition there will be thousands of other jobs created in spinoff local petrochemical companies and in indirect employment throughout the province.
— The Canadian and Provincial governments, local regional districts and municipalities, and many First Nations, will share in billions of new tax dollars each year.
Unfortunately our Canadian oil companies are not interested in building a new major refinery. They are focused on extraction, which is more profitable
than refining. One of them challenged me to spearhead the refinery myself, so I am doing that. We have a solid business plan and, as a consequence, Chinese banks and other institutions are prepared to lend us most of the funds required to build the greenest and most efficient refinery in the world. We are currently moving ahead with engineering design and environmental work.
We will also build a safe pipeline from Alberta to the refinery, with the active participation of First Nations. Modern pipelines can be built and operated safely. Leak data is available for everyone to see on Canadian and US government websites and it proves recently constructed pipelines are not leaking. Furthermore some of the best pipelining companies in the world are based in Canada.
In addition we will build a fleet of new
tankers, powered by LNG rather than Bunker C oil, to transport the refined products to Asia. This way we know the tankers will be state-of-the-art and as safe as possible. The fleet will be owned by a company based in B.C. so it cannot shirk its legal liability if there ever is a spill at sea.
Let me be up front about my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers.
If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers please contact your local MP and say so.
The Canadian government makes a decision on Northern Gateway next month.

Letters to the editor Wood trade roots BC as resource leaderBritish Columbia
is Canada’s most ecologically di-
verse province, with more than half of its 95 million hectares covered in forest.
Over 80% of these forests are coniferous. They range from the dry ponderosa pine forests in the south to the spruce and pine boreal forest along the Yukon border.
These vast forests and the softwood products derived from them con-tinue to be a major driver of the BC economy. In fact, more than 40% of regional economies in the province are forestry-based, supporting over 55,000 direct jobs in 7,300 businesses.
Despite the industry’s status as a key employer and revenue stream, BC’s entire annual harvest comes from less than 200,000 hectares—less than 1% of the working forest.
Sustainability is a central priority. All harvested areas are reforested, with more than 200 million seedlings planted each year to supplement natural regrowth.
Approximately 90% of BC’s forests are publicly owned, and the province takes a co-operative approach to land use planning. British Columbians participate in processes that decide which areas should be protected. The public is able to review and comment on forestry plans before any harvesting activities commence. Professional foresters, biol-ogists, and engineers help make decisions about best practices. Audits by independent agencies like the Forest Practices Board are conducted regularly with government and licence holders.
In 2009, BC scaled nearly 49 million cubic metres of timber. Coastal forests provided approximately 30% of the harvest, with the remaining 70% coming from the Interior.
The primary species harvested is lodgepole pine, accounting for 51%, with spruce and hemlock making up 14% and 9% respectively. Doug-las fir, balsam, cedar and other species round out the rest. Softwood products produced include lumber, pulp, newsprint, paper products and shingles.
The majority of BC’s forest product is manufactured into lumber at dozens of mills across the province. Lumber accounts for more than 35% of exported forest products, and is in experiencing new demand from expanding Asian markets, particularly China.
With the crash of the United States housing market in 2007, BC lum-ber export volumes fell 59%, leading to lumber production in the prov-ince dropping by more than 40% by 2009.
This led to major curtailments across the industry, including the clo-sure of 26 sawmills. Fortunately, Chinese imports of softwood lumber nearly doubled each year since 2006. By 2011, China lumber imports rose to 3.1 billion board feet, 25% of BC’s total production.
Responding to this shift, BC forest companies are transforming their operations to meet new demands for softwood lumber in Asia. This transformation includes producing a strategic combination of tradi-tional lumber products, new building systems, value-added wood prod-ucts and other bio-products, which maximize the value of harvested timber and further supports local economies.
Re:port is a collaborative promotional venture by the Prince Rupert Port Authority and The Northern View.
Photo courtesy Prince Rupert Port AuthorityBUSINESS IS LOOKING UP: As Asian demand for Canadian wood products increases, BC’s forest industry is meeting demand with a diverse blend of exports. The ongoing success of the forest sector in the province depends on achieving a sustainable harvest.

Opinion
Tragic deaths avoidable Editor:I am writing in response to the utterly
tragic deaths of Angie and Robert Robinson.The needs of people with autism and their
families vary greatly. For some, a high level of independence is possible. The needs of others can be hugely underestimated.
In my extended family there is a young man with severe autism. His parents, a highly caring and motivated couple, worked valiantly to keep him at home. Despite much professional support and education, there came a point when the family’s mental health was highly compromised. The parents came to the heartbreaking conclusion they needed another home for their son.
That was just the beginning of an exhausting struggle, to set up a suitable and sustainable living arrangement. It required lobbying power and resources beyond the reach of many couples, not to mention single parents. In the end there was some B.C.
government funding, but due largely to the effects on a younger sibling.
There will be no “one size fits all” solution for people like Robert and their families. However, more must obviously be done to address their needs. I believe that given the right resources, Angie and Robert would still be alive.
Given the right resources, they could have had many happy times ahead.

David Black got it rightEditor:Hats off to David Black’s clear account
of a better way to hold more permanent oil patch jobs in the area.
Also it points out the economic deceptions in the Enbridge proposals. Theirs is an economics of lack, generated by corporate self-interest with short term benefits to the area.
The times demand we separate the wheat from the chaff. Our economics is in the grip of a totalitarian oligarchy of rule by a few whose interests are selfish and narrow in outlook. They are using deceptive advertising to further their cause.
The saving point is that we live in a democracy where we can all exercise our free will. It is a matter of choice and in spite of the magnitude of the infiltration of distorted values, that choice is a simple and easy one.
The chaff is an economics of lack where more is never enough. This attitude misses the purpose of wealth, which is meant to bring individual happiness and satisfaction. The mind is always agitated in such a state.
The wheat is the sweetness of a settled mind, at peace with what one has and a knowingness that future needs will be met. It is a state of abundance where one can live
life at peace with ourselves and those around us.
As said, the choice is an easy one. Nothing can be done about others, but every one of us can choose to place a moment of stillness in our lives at any time, maybe just a few minutes before and after work. It will be found that a few moments of stillness can grow into a bit of peace of mind. It’s very magical. Soon a bit of balance begins to grow in our individual lives and a feeling of satisfaction comes along. It is because out of the stillness all life emerges and that source is accessed for us in our quiet moments.
It is an easy pleasant moment that makes life worth living again.

MMBC opponents head to court to stop programBY JEFF NAGEL VANCOUVER / Black Press
Business opponents of Multi Material BC are planning a court challenge to reverse the takeover of B.C.’s curbside recycling system by the stewardship agency.
They continue to urge the provincial government to freeze the new MMBC system before it takes effect May 19, but are also laying the groundwork for a legal battle.
Kelvin McCulloch, CEO of the Buckerfield’s chain of farm supply stores, is urging other businesses to sign and submit their MMBC contract but then give notice to the government that they won’t pay fees or otherwise cooperate with the new system to collect packaging and printed paper.
McCulloch intends to gather opt-out letters from numerous businesses across B.C. and deliver them to the province.
If the MMBC rollout continues, he said, they will argue in court that the MMBC contracts were invalid and they were coerced to join the government-created recycling monopoly.
“We’re fairly confident at this point it
will be struck down,” McCulloch said. “No company in their right mind would
sign that contract of their own free will.”The province contends MMBC is
voluntary and various industries could instead form their own separate waste-collecting organization.
That option is not practical or reasonable, McCulloch said.
“The suggestion that we are able to launch our own stewardship program independent of MMBC is a sham.”
The MMBC program aims to transfer recycling costs from municipal taxpayers to the producers who generate packaging and printed paper, while collecting more containers and material types than before.
But many businesses argue they’re unfairly compelled to pay far higher fees than a similar system run in Ontario.
Critics say MMBC’s three-member interim board is controlled by executives with multinational firms like Unilever and Proctor and Gamble who have manipulated the launch of the new program to their benefit rather than the interests of most B.C. businesses.
Questioned by the NDP last week,
Environment Minister Mary Polak said she expects a more representative 15-member permanent board to be named soon after MMBC’s launch.
Polak said it’s logical the biggest industries that pay the most into MMBC get a large role.
A new advisory council was also recently unveiled by MMBC with reps from several B.C. business groups, but critics say it has no real power.
Pausing the program and the payment of fees by member businesses would cut off the money MMBC will send to most local cities that agreed to continue curbside pickup.
“Any delay in implementation for those communities would mean a loss of that savings,” Polak said, adding many municipalities have already budgeted to receive promised MMBC payments.
She said examples of those amounts are $1.5 million a year coming to Richmond and $917,000 to Nanaimo.
Mike Klassen, B.C. director of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said he’s not aware of any cities reducing their property taxes as a result of
the expected MMBC savings.“That’s one of the things that’s been
most misleading – the idea that this was going to save money for the general taxpayer,” he said.
Klassen argues consumers will pay twice – their local taxes won’t go down but they’ll also pay higher retail prices as businesses pass along the MMBC charges.
He said most mayors and councils are being cautious and aren’t spending MMBC savings until they actually arrive – meaning there’s still opportunity to freeze the rollout.
“That suggests to me they’re also very wary of the program and have a fallback program in case things don’t work,” Klassen said.
“The world doesn’t all of a sudden turn upside down if we pause this program and take some time to reflect on how to do this well.”
Small businesses with single storefronts have been exempted by the province from MMBC’s requirements.
But Klassen said franchisees don’t qualify, leaving hundreds of small businesses facing hefty costs.
News
BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
It may be more than 1,000 kilometres away, but devastating news delivered to residents of Tumbler Ridge could very well be felt here in Prince Rupert.
Walter Energy announced last Tuesday its plans to immediately close the Wolverine mine, resulting in the loss of 415 job in the community, and completely idle the Brazion mine near Chetwynd by July, affecting approximately 280 employees.
While job losses total nearly 700, here on the North Coast the impact will be at Ridley Terminals Inc., which ships much of the coal from the mines to customers overseas. In 2013 the two mines moved a total of 3.6 million tonnes of metallurgical coal, while the total amount of metallurgical coal moved through the terminal that year was 7.8 million tonnes.
However, Ridley Terminals corporate affairs manager Michelle Bryant said what the closure of those mines means has yet to be determined.
“There will be an impact, but what that impact will be is unknown as one
of the mines will continue to be open for some time,” she said.
“At this point I cannot say exactly what it will be.”
In making the announcement, Walter Energy CEO Walter J. Scheller III said market conditions were to blame.
“These coal reserves remain valuable assets. However, given the current metallurgical coal pricing environment, our best course of action at this time is to idle these operations until we can achieve reasonable value from these reserves,” he said.
The company gave no time frame as to when operations at the Brazion mine may resume.

RTI to feel hit from mine closuresMines moved
3.6 million tonnes
Terminal won’t affect travel
BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Although nothing formal is in place, Pacific NorthWest LNG says all indication are boats will in fact be permitted to travel under the jetty trestle protruding from Lelu Island.
The company changed the design of the 2.4 kilometre jetty to be 11 metres tall so that vessels could navigate the calmer waters close to Lelu as opposed to being forced out into the more open waters offshore. However, the decision is one that was out of Pacific NorthWest LNG’s hands and in the hands of regulators, who have seemed to warm up to the idea.
“We now have verbal approval from the Prince Rupert Port Authority and Transport Canada to allow vessels under the trestle. It is done on a project-by-project basis and in this case they have weighed the local need to be near the shore in rough weather versus the risk of boats travelling in more open water,” said Pacific NorthWest LNG environmental advisor Brian Clark.
As for movements in and out of Porpoise Harbour, Clark said boaters shouldn’t expect too much to change.
“The only possible restriction will set by the port out at the berth, just at the lading facility. It is an international thing, you don’t go near carriers while loading, and it ranges from 100 metres to 300 metres,” he said.
“There will be an impact, but what
that impact will be is unknown.”

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
What started as an after-school study session with her sister and friends has turned Amy Dopson’s world into a lucrative business model, and one that’s nowhere near hit its ceiling.
Pac 10 Tutoring has been an educational staple in Prince Rupert since 2009, offering tutoring services, with sophisticated “Smartboard” technology, and its founder Dopson is headed to BCBusiness’ “30 Under 30” reception as its newest member at the age of 27.
“It was just after my birthday or just before, so they called to let me know that I had been nominated and then I had to submit a whole bunch of [financial and reputable] information,” Dopson explained.
“It was a rigorous process ... and then I didn’t find out that I had made the list until it was announced to the public.”
Dopson and her colleagues, Phat Tran and Chrystopher Thompson, typically work evenings and weekends, while Dopson performs administrative duties when she can.
Despite her age being a potential challenge to clients trusting her abilities at the outset of her business, Dopson’s advantage has profoundly been thanks to her juvenescence.
Because she’s only been out of school a comparably short time, Dopson recognizes the area’s teachers and their particularities and habits so she can gain a better understanding of her students’ situation in school.
“We have a lot of relationships with the teachers so we can talk back and forth on the progress of a student. They give us recommendations on where we could work with them and what’s being done at the school so we try our best to really make sure we’re on the same page,” she explained.
The hallmark jewel of Pac 10 is its Smartboard technology.
“It’s an interactive white-board so it’s almost kind of like a giant iPad that’s connected to a computer and projector. It’s all touch screen-based so you can play games and different elements that kids can interact with while learning,” said the founder.
And she’s not done yet. “We’re always looking for new challenges and ways
to expand. We have so many ideas and so many ventures we want to get into, but we don’t have either the capacity or the funds to do so it’s still in that planning and goal-setting stage,” she explained.
This weekend, Dopson will fly to Vancouver for the reception, where she’ll meet 29 other spirited minds from across the province.
“I can’t describe it,” she said. “I was elated. It was an unreal experience to open the
magazine and see my face, and Prince Rupert and our business. It’s something that’s going to definitely stay in my memory for a long time.”
Kevin Campbell / The Northern ViewAmy Dopson’s work for Pac 10 Tutoring has earned her provincial recognition as an entrepreneur to watch.

Kevin Campbell / The Northern ViewTruong Tran streaks down the fi eld in Safeway’s match against NSK.
Striker’s header highlights tight U19 thrillerBY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
The game needed the dying, ticking minutes to be decided, but the highlight of the night came late in the first half.
Down 1-0, Prince Rupert Youth Soccer’s U19 Safeway club was looking for the equalizer versus NSK Contracting before the finality of the whistle ended the frame.
Two attackers streaked through centre circle on a break: One manning the right flank, one down centre. The dribbling forward drew NSK’s defence towards him on the right, while Truong Tran snuck in down the middle.
The attacking striker took a shot which was stopped by NSK’s goalkeeper, but not caught. The ball rolled along the ground to the open Tran, but just out of reach.
So Tran dove.“[My teammate] just ran down the side and
I saw it coming so I ran in and then he sent it,” said Tran.
“I just dove for it.” Except not through the air.The striker probably earned some skid marks
along the front of his sky blue uniform as he propelled himself face-first into the yawning cage and collected a goal in the process.
“I’ve kind of wanted to head one in. I’ve tried so many times but it hasn’t worked, so I
saw my chance and took it,” said Tran.A little unorthodox, but Tran can check that
accomplishment off the bucket list.Ending in a 3-3 tie, the two teams battled
it out, trading the lead three times before the match was finally knotted.
The majority of the pressure came early and often from NSK, earning them the lead as Rylie Miller opened the scoring off a corner-kick. After a few touches by Safeway, Miller connected and found the mesh.
Safeway took the lead in the second half with a marker after a scramble in the goalmouth to make it 2-1.
Karanpal Gill, Miller and Sekhon provided the bulk of the offense for NSK and with their pressure, found their second of the night.
Then, off a long ball that sailed over midfield and found two NSK strikers, the green side clinched the tie with their third of the evening on a break, a strike that beat the leaping Safeway goalie late in the match.
“We’re pretty good. We have a decent team, everyone’s pretty active and wants to play. We’re all friends so we get along pretty good,” said Tran, noting that the group’s communication has improved over the few weeks they’ve been together.
Safeway next plays Skeena Taxi Thursday night while NSK Contracting faces off against Ridley Terminals in week four.
PRASC, Points North take Prince George meetBY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
The Prince George Barracuda Swim Club usually trumps their rivals from Northwest B.C., Points North, the team comprised of swimmers from Prince Rupert, Kitimat, Smithers and Terrace.
But at the 2014 Barracuda Dental Moose Meet, it was Points North that got the last laugh.
Beating their rivals by 397 points from April 12-13 was the group from the Northwest and more than a few Rupertites shared in the points.
“We sent 23 swimmers,” explained Prince Rupert Amateur Swim Club head coach Chris Street.
“Prince George often beats us so to beat them by that much was pretty significant.”
Points North won the meet with 1,604 points while Prince George followed in
second with 1,207. Kamloops rounded out the top-three with 1,053 points. Williams Lake, Fort St. John, Grand Prairie, Quesnel, Chetwynd and Salmon Arm also participated to bring the total number of swimmers at the meet to close to 300, with age categories ranging from 10-and-under to 16-and-over, the provincial categories.
The Rapids’ Isaac Mastroianni (10) took home quite the haul with a gold medal in 10-and-under 200 freestyle and a silver in the 10-and-under 200 IM. Along with the hardware, Mastroianni took first in 50 butterfly, 100 freestyle and 100 breaststroke, second in 50 freestyle and third in 50 and 100 backstroke.
Not to be outdone, teammate Emma Movold (10) won gold for 10-and-under 200 freestyle and silver for 10-and-under 200 IM.
“The kids really like when they get to compete as Points North. We’re very close
with our friends in Kitimat, Smithers and Terrace, said Street.”
Avery Movold (14) won silver aggregate (total points scored) in the 14-15 girls’ age group for the Rapids while taking first in 100 backstroke, 100 freestyle and 200 backstroke along with second in 50 butterfly, 100 butterfly, 50 freestyle and third in 50 backstroke.
Kai Leighton (11) also won silver aggregate in 11-and-under boys, taking first in 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 50 backstroke and 100 breaststroke. He took second in 50 butterfly and 100 backstroke and third in 200 backstroke to complete the aggregate.
Other fine performances came from Warren Barton (11) who came in first in 50 butterfly, third in 100 backstroke and 100 butterfly and grabbed new swim BC “AA” times in 100 butterfly (1:35.68) and 50 freestyle (36.31). Isaac Dolan (10) also had a new Swim BC “A” time
in 50 freestyle (40.06) while Zach Dolan (12) came in third place in 50 and 100 breaststroke and swam a new “AA” time in 200 IM (2:52.8) and 50 freestyle (32.06).
Veteran Branden Hagen (16) claimed first in 50 breaststroke and second in the 100 and 200. He also took second in 100 freestyle and third in 50 freestyle and 50 backstroke.
Amy Leighton (12) took home first in 50 breaststroke, second in 100 IM, 100 butterfly and third in 200 breaststroke and 400 freestyle.
Hannah Toye (11) grabbed first in 50 backstroke and third in 50 butterfly. Swim-mate Robert Warren (14) had new “A” times in 100 backstroke (1:19.06), 100 freestyle (1:08.26), and 50 freestyle (30.99).
The Rapids next take to the pool in Kitimat on the first weekend in May for the Kitimat Spring Invitational.

Rupert Runners wrap up half-marathon
BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
The Rupert Runners’ had sunny skies at their backs during their 33rd annual Half-Marathon, Two-Person Relay and 8K Race earlier in April.
The runners, some of whom had been training for weeks in preparation for the event, started at the Lester Centre and continued along Highway 16, reaching the Galloway Rapids rest area, and switching back.
The winners of the 8 km overall race were Nola Strimbold and Marc Hrehircheck with times of 0:42:24 and 0:31:08 respectively.
Other categories included the 8 km open, and Andrea Dantas (0:42:26) and Hrehircheck (31:08) were the victors there.
The 8K Masters 1 featured a women’s top-three of Strimbold, Corinne Bromben and Kate Toye while the 8K Masters 2 champions were Sandra Jones for the women and John McVey for the men, followed by Erika Pikola and Susan Enns for the women and Bob Cuthbert and Brian Emery for the men.
Eight-K Masters 3 saw Diana Hoffman and David Shearer take the title with in their respective divisions while Dale White and Michael Reid claimed second and third for the men.
The half-marathon overall leader-board had Roxanne Theriault (women’s
— 1:56:19) and Francoise Dagerais Cote (men’s — 1:24:58) atop the standings, with Nancy Vandevelde and Judy Thompson following close behind. Joe Pelletier and Robert Massier followed up Dagerais Cote in the men’s category.
Theriault claimed the half-marathon open category for the women, while on the men’s ledger, Dagerais Cote and Pelletier (second) took home the open with the same scores as the overall.
In the half-marathon Masters 1, Vandevelde took first-place (2:04:25) with Thompson taking second while there were no entries for the men’s side.
In the half-marathon Masters 2 category, Massier claimed the title (1:45:48) and Jeffrey Brown followed (2:00:26).
During the half-marathon relay, the women’s team of Cora Parnell and Emma Payne claimed first with a time of 1:44:26. Erin Mutrie and Gillian Grant closely followed that with a 1:46:08 score and Samantha Kasdorf and Leigh Anne Magnusson (1:46:41) rounded out the top three.
For the male team relay, Ted McCreery and Tom Lee topped the board with 1:42:27.
The relay mixed teams saw Amber Sheasgreen and Ryan Staschuk victorious with a 1:35:21 time score. Marcie LeBlanc and Kris Pucci came in second (1:38:26) and Melissa Rektor and Sean Carlson finished third (1:43:06).
Kevin Campbell / The Northern ViewAndrew Schaeffer carries an alder tree to a pile, eventually to be burned at the Prince Rupert Golf Club on Sunday.
BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Thick, dark smoke erupted from a fire at the Prince Rupert Golf Course on Sunday, but it wasn’t by accident.
Prince Rupert Golf Club president Fred Hainstock and director Andrew Schaeffer were piling chopped alder trees to burn away as part of the club’s work party, which didn’t attract as many people as Schaeffer had hoped.
“The work party’s rather small today. There’s about three of us out here,” he said.
Schaeffer and Hainstock’s initiative started last year to finish some projects on course decor that time has either grown to unmanageable levels or eroded away.
“We’ve got salmonberries to pick up still ... I know there’s a couple of bridges to repair. There’s some broken slats on them and no railings and we need to get at some limbs that need trimming,” said Schaeffer.
Their work began last fall. Cutting down the salmonberry bushes (six feet high at the time, now just one) that have infiltrated the course is just part of the perimeter work that the regular course maintenance workers don’t have the time or manpower to get to.
“We’re not taking work away from the workers,” said the director, noting that the crew usually works on maintaining the greens and has similar responsibilities.
The club also hires approximatelly four or five seasonal workers during the summer to
help out.“We try to cut the [alder] trees down to get
more wind going through to dry things out,” said Schaeffer.
The executive board also wants to obtain more gravel to create a surrounding cart path. They received four truckloads from Peak Ventures as a donation and were hoping to obtain more from the city. But Schaeffer expects it may take close to 25 truckloads for the amount of gravel they need.
“I don’t know how far 10 yards of gravel [from a truck] goes, but it doesn’t go very far, from what people have told me, when you get it in and spread it out,” he said.
Schaeffer noted that sand and gravel is notoriously costly on the north coast, something the Kaien Island Slo-Pitch League has also found out as it needs new sand for their diamond these next couple years.
The golf club is encouraging anyone who enjoys the course to come out and lend a hand at the next work party. Details for those interested can be found at the club’s Facebook page.

Rainmakers track team vaults to Terrace
BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Charles Hays track and field coach Dighton Haynes trudged across the synthetic rubber surrounding the field beside the school last Thursday.
It was 3:30 p.m. and the kids were leaving the premises in droves, ready for their four-day weekend.
Including, it seemed, the track athletes. Haynes knew he wouldn’t get many out on
this day. Dark skies, rain and the day before a long weekend isn’t a conducive environment to large numbers for a practice.
It’s alright though, he’ll get a solid week of training out of the young and able this week in preparation for the their first meet in Terrace this weekend.
“We get somewhere around 15 [kids] per practice,” said Haynes, who kept a watchful eye on the doors.
To their credit, two dedicated students showed up, but were released. Two isn’t a grand enough number for the activities planned on this day.
“We usually do group stretching, then we have a group activity,” said the coach, who has recently moved to Prince Rupert from the Terrace area after retiring.
Ultimate frisbee is one such popular distraction, along with throwing around a football.
“Today was going to be shot put and middle distance running, but with the rain, the shot put people are looking [at the track] and seeing a huge puddle and the middle distance people are looking at cold muscles,” said Haynes.
To the Charles Hays Track and Field Team, each day brings something different. Only a singular event is practiced to keep the mind and body focused. Then, the next day brings something else.
“Because there’s so many different special events available to work on, I usually work on one [per day],” said the coach.
Not everyone makes it out to each of the four meets per week, either.
“I never really know how many I have because you’ve got many of these athletes [who play different sports] ... they cross train, so I don’t need to see them every practice and as long as they’re getting a workout three times a week and I get to see them once then it works out pretty good,” said Haynes.
Long jump, high jump, shot put, distance running and pole vaulting all occupy the usual veins in the sport, and each need practice to be refined, like anything in competition. Haynes has seen a markedly noticeable improvement from his kids, of which he has 35 total who have signed up so far.
And the difference between track and team sports is that you can quantify your progress.
Sure, hockey and basketball have stats, but there are so many different forces and factors working for and against those stats that you can get lost in figuring out their meaning.
With track and field, you get pure, unadulterated results. Measurable with a clock or yardstick, the students can see with their own eyes the improvements they’re making, and that, Haynes says, is one attraction to the age-old sport.
“It’s all about beating your personal best,”
he explains.“They can see their growth ... and they can
really feel pride. It doesn’t matter the place [they finish].”
Something a little organic emerges when the teams hit the field for the meets.
“One of the successes I’ve had coaching track is how the team comes together as a team with a bunch of individual events. That one doesn’t fit the logic, but it happens year after year. The Terrace athletes had just as much fun cheering [an athlete] from Hazelton as they did cheering each other on, so that’s not even a teammate but it’s someone from the zone.”

It’s been centuries since pirates sailed these waters, but a group of scallywags arrived in Prince Rupert this past weekend to perform Blackbeard the Pirate, a musical production put on by the travelling Missoula Children’s Theatre.
A cast of approximately 45 Prince Rupert kids and teens took to the stage to embark on a heralding journey they began learning only five days prior to Saturday’s show, and they didn’t disappoint.
Blackbeard (Kaylee Bonneschranz) and her accompanying crew, including the “awww”-inducing Peachfuzz (Carsen Brown) headlined a cast of swashbuckling sea gangsters who, during the musical, learned that the values of treasures you find in a box don’t weigh up to the value of family and friendship.
“They were great,” said Missoula director Osmary Nieves after the first show.
“It’s a lot of hard work and dedication and us giving them the tools that they need.”
Each age category represented a different facet of the production, which included lazy beach bums, sailors, crabs, crocodiles, mermaids and seaweed creatures.
Missoula (the stage company from Montana) had co-director Marta Knodle leading the way,
guiding the children through their dance numbers and witty one-liners.
Each group had their own personalites and quirks. The mermaids (Payton Colussi, Ellen Greisiger, Jordan Carter and Iona Riesen) were beautiful but sassy; the sailors could talk a big game, but were easily frightened; the seaweed creatures acted as a portal between Jolly Rodger’s (Knodle) present and past; the beach bums (Grace Stewart, Alanna Hague, Dana Chetwynd, Amber Lindquist and Emily Proskiw) played the lackadaisical, treasure-obsessed sand-dwellers; and the crabs provided the musical with their steadfast guardianship of the treasure chest.
The crocs (Nash de la Nuez and Kyra Palfy) had their own sub-plot of romantic relationship distress, which they resolved at the conclusion of the play.
The show, written by Michael McGill, included a creative and shocking plot-twist that saw the narrator Knodle’s Jolly Rodger turn out to be not quite what she seemed when she regaled the beach bums with her stories of Blackbeard and her crew.
It turns out Rodger had been a part of the hi-jinx all those years ago as a sailor, Lt. Maynard, who snuck a swig of water from a bottle from the “Fountain of Youth” contained within Blackbeard’s treasure chest.
Three hundred years later, Rodgers’ cautionary tale comes to life when the cast all unites before their curtain call.
Larissa Gorak accompanied the show while assistant directors Carter Brown and Jacy North provided lighting and sound effects, including the voice for a talking clam.

Pirates take over Lester CentreDancers excelBY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Students from both of Prince Rupert’s dance studios were part of the Pacific Northwest Music Festival (PNMF) in Terrace earlier this month, coming back to Prince Rupert with bragging rights.
The annual Pacific Northwest Music Festival is an opportunity for music and performing arts students to showcase their talents through a friendly competition with adjudicators to provide feedback and select winners of awards and scholarships.
Hannah Cam, an 18-year-old Spectrum City dancer, was named the festival’s Most Outstanding Senior Performer, winning a $1,000 scholarship from Knights of Columbus. Cam was also awarded the highest mark for a contemporary solo, as well as the highest in a Senior Jazz solo and Senior Lyrical solo.
Spectrum’s Gillian Jardim, 12, received the highest mark for her ballet musical interpretation solo, acrobatic solo and classical ballet dance and won original dance choreography.
After being invited to perform her ballet solo at the festival gala, Spectrum City Dance’s Tylie Wong received an award of excellence from the judges.
Taylor Jackson from the Dance Academy of Prince Rupert earned highest marks for her variety dance solo, while Dance Academy’s demi-character ballet group consisting of dancers ages eight-and-under were asked to perform“Angels” during the gala.
Lola Clouthier from Dance Academy received top marks for her Junior Jazz and Musical Theatre dance solos.
Jenny Nguyen earned the top spot for her Modern Dance solo, with Tylie Wong getting the highest marks for her Tap Dance solo.
Dance Academy students Karlie Fudger won for her Junior Lyrical solo, with younger sister Laura winning for her Song and Dance 10 and under solo.
Spectrum City Dance’s Justina Venditelli received the $75 award for her Street Dance solo, as well as the Contemporary Duet or Trio with partner Jessica Bruce.

North Coast people at the ... Heart of our City
BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
The ideals were always there, but it took an international volunteer trip to give 20-year-old Kieren Nelson a voice to advocate change.
Kieren recently returned to Prince Rupert after taking part in an unconventional volunteer exchange program facilitated by Canada World Youth, which he says changed his perspective of the world. Kieren is now devoted to advocating equal rights and opportunities for all people.
“Before going on the program equality was always something I was passionate about, but I didn’t have the language to talk about it. I didn’t feel that I knew enough to be an advocate for change. It was something I felt and thought about, but it wasn’t something I shared,” Kieren said.
Kieren was born and raised in Prince Rupert, with his concern for environmental issues and human rights issues being provoked by his mother Christina.
“My mother is a union representative and when I was young she always spoke about people’s rights and First Nations issues. It was always a part of my upbringing,” he said.
A year after graduating from Prince Rupert Secondary School in 2011, Kieren moved to Kelowna. Traveling around the world was a priority of Kieren’s and after hearing about powerful experiences some of his friends had on Canada World Youth exchanges, he decided to apply.
“I want to travel a lot in my life and this program was an opportunity to throw myself at the whim of world,” he said, noting on his application he didn’t specify where he wanted to be sent or what work he would be doing; he felt whatever he was picked for was what he was meant to do.
Kieren was selected for the Youth Leaders in Action program, a six-month exchange split into two phases: Three months in one of 13 international countries and three months in a Canadian community. Kieren and nine other volunteers between the ages of 17 and 25, including a project supervisor, were sent to Pac Ngoi, Vietnam for the first half of the exchange and then to Sooke, B.C.
Participants got to experience daily life in Pac Ngoi, which is located in Northern Vietnam and known for its breathtaking scenery.
“We were living in a national park. Our community was right off Ba Be Lake, the largest natural water lake in the country,” said Kieren.
“The surrounding area has one of the world’s largest biodiversities of butterflies. There were dozens of different species of butterflies flying around our community all the time. It was amazing.”
To learn as much as possible about another culture, the program partners volunteers from both countries as counterparts that they live with for the duration of the exchange in host family homes. Kieren’s counterpart was a 25-year-old named Trinh Ngoc Tu.
As volunteer work, the group worked together on community-driven development projects or in small groups. Some of the projects volunteers found on their own, like Kieren helping his host family build stairs on their steep entrance way, while others were selected with the help of a Vietnamese communist organization for youth. Projects were meant to enhance the community’s pre-existing way of life, by request of the community members. Some projects were the painting of the village’s culture house, building a volleyball court or providing English lessons.
“The program is about bridging cultural gaps and creating better understanding between different cultural normatives,” Kieren explained.
For the Canadian half of the exchange, the group relocated to Sooke on Vancouver Island.
While they still lived with the same counterparts in Canada, youth leaders were set up with a different working counterpart to promote more friendships within the group.
For Canadian volunteer efforts, pairs lent a hand to community service organizations. Kieren and his working partner Thuy had two placements, one in a family resource centre providing play-based learning activities to children and the second making and providing lunches to the seniors’ centre.
Another undertaking the group did throughout the program were weekly educational activity days when partners took turns doing presentations on various topics.
In Sooke, Kieren and Thuy chose Canadian colonialism for their day-long presentation, bringing in a guest speaker that guided volunteers through First Nations life pre-contact to post-residential school.
Kieren said colonization was relevant to both Canadians and Vietnamese volunteers, and provided the group with an understanding of the effects residential schools has in Canada.
“I think the impact and implications of something like residential schools isn’t understood in our generation,” he said, mentioning it’s not thoroughly and transparently discussed in school.
These sort of discussions on racial inequality, gender issues and consent, as well as environmental and political concerns, were common conversations within his group and helped ignite a passion to change more than what affects him in his day to day life.
“I’ve been in a position where I have been made out to be a lesser than. I want there to be emotional justice for those living without privilege, and for accountability to be taken for the social and economical elite” he said.
“The biggest thing for me, as well as many of the other volunteers, was that the program made me more aware of my own privilege in the world.”
Kieren highly recommends the Youth Leaders in Action program to young people of all races, religions, gender identities, sexual orientations and levels of wealth, explaining the program is meant to bring a diverse group together.
For Kieren, meeting so many different kinds of people is what he cherishes most about his trip.
“I have 20 life-long friends all over Canada and Vietnam,” he said.
Kieren returned to Prince Rupert after spending time in Vancouver and Kelowna. He plans to stay the summer before going travelling again.

Youth flee after break and enterBY CPL. GLEN BRECKONMASSET / Masset RCMP
Between April 8 and April 14, Masset RCMP responded to 35 calls for service.
These calls for service included seven incidents of causing a disturbance by being intoxicated in public, five property crimes and three assaults.
The past week was busy for Masset RCMP, responding to a number of alcohol related complaints. Masset RCMP were twice at the Trumpeter Apartments to deal with noisy party complaints which were fueled by alcohol.
Sometime over the last week, several seasonal residences were broken into on Kumdis Island near Port Clements. Numerous items were stolen including a Honda generator. The culprits also tried unsuccessfully to gain access to a gun safe in one of the residences. The culprits left several items behind at the residences and they will be subject to a forensic identification examination to determine if fingerprints were left behind. The investigation is continuing into this matter. If anyone has any information on who may be involved, you are encouraged to contact the Masset RCMP.
On the morning of April 9, Masset RCMP received a complaint of a break and enter in progress at a residence on Eagle Avenue. A member attended and learned that two residences had been broken into. Police were able to identify the two youth involved who initially fled on foot when approached. The member was able to catch up to the youth who were both arrested and found to be in possession of stolen property. The youth were belligerent and aggressive with police upon arrest. The youth both had been involved with police a number of times in the past and were held for court. The two youth were eventually released from custody by the courts and are due to attend court in Masset again in the near future. Neither of the two youth is from Masset.
Please remember, it takes a community to police a community. Any suspicious activity can be reported to the Masset RCMP at 250-626-3991 or anonymously to Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.bccrimestoppers.com.

JOB HUNTING
BY MARTINA PERRY HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View
Although finding support from some members of the board, the idea of a regional district specifically for Haida Gwaii is unlikely to come to fruition.
Coun. Anna Ashley, who sits on the board of the regional district, brought the idea forward for discussion at Prince Rupert council on April 14.
“There has been talks about seeing if Haida Gwaii wanted to go on its own as a regional district, and that has been fought at the provincial level,” said Ashley,.
“That is something I think everyone on the regional district would like to see, simply for efficiency, but unfortunately until they are willing to change the legislation that is unlikely to happen.”
Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem also voiced support for the idea, saying it just makes economic sense.
“Because of the physical location, it’s very simple: You take a map and look at how far Vancouver Island is off of the Lower Mainland and how far Haida Gwaii is and it is not very efficient when it comes to travel and being held over due to weather
conditions,” he saidRegional district boundaries were
based on school district boundaries when they were incorporated in the 1960s, but were later balanced out to consider geography and financial strength, said Alec Tully, spokesperson for the Ministry of Community, Sports and Cultural Development. Given that, the ministry said the regional district encompassing the North Coast is sized appropriately.
“The Skeena — Queen Charlotte Regional District is one of the smallest regional districts in terms of area and population,” he said.

Feel the rush of riding on two wheelsIf you have ever looked longingly upon a motorcycle as it whizzed by, you might have been bitten by the bike bug and didn’t even know it.If you have always dreamed of getting on two wheels but didn’t know how to go about it, you have been bitten by the bike bug.If you are contemplating a perfect time to do it, the answer is now!With spring-like weather mani-festing itself and more and more motorcycles appearing on the roads, it’s time to stop dreaming and start doing.But where do you start? How do you go about it and what steps do you need to go through?Over the next few weeks, we will feature a four-part series on motorcycling. It will cover everything from schools, to gear to buying a bike and more. As I said, there’s no better time than now to embrace your inner motorcyclist and have the time of your life.
Take the testIn order to get your learner’s license in BC, you will need to take the ICBC Motorcycle Knowl-edge Test. To attain the handbook that you’ll need to familiarize yourself with, you can either download it from the ICBC website, or visit a branch in person to pick up a hard copy. After you have studied it from cover-to-cover, you’ll need to take and pass the test at an ICBC branch, which will then give you your L.Visit www.icbc.com and type in “motorcycle” into the search bar. That is the easiest way to get you to the pages you’ll need to work with.
After getting your “L” permitThere are two steps in acquiring your full motorcycle license. First, you’ll have to pass the Motor-cycle Skills Test portion of the process. Then you’ll have your full road test.
Riding trainingI absolutely, 100 per cent without a doubt recommend going to a professional school to learn how to ride. I’m not saying your bff who has selflessly volunteered to teach you everything you need to know about riding isn’t qualified or unfit for the task, but they might not be a “teacher.” Sure
they have the skills, but can they communicate effectively the points that you need to be safe? If yes, then go for it.But professional schools have professional teach-ers. They also know the ICBC system and will teach you above and beyond what you’ll need to execute in order to start riding on your own. And more importantly, to be safe! They will also help build your confidence and try to help you eradicate bad habits that you may or may not know you are forming. Granted, most courses aren’t cheap. But they’re worth it and so is your safety. Check out regional schools or save up to come to the Lower Main-land. I wouldn’t have done my license any other way. Some schools to check out are: Pacific Riding School, V-Twin Motorcycle School, the Justice Institute of BC, High Gear Motorcycle Training (private lessons) and more.
You don’t have to start on the roadMany of the top road racers in the world didn’t start on the pavement. They started in the dirt. Why? Because it teaches you how to control a bike in less than ideal traction environments. Also, if you fall, it doesn’t hurt as much! You can certainly get your feet wet when it comes to learning clutch and brake control on a “softer” surface, too. Furthermore, you don’t need a learner’s permit if you are riding off road. When and if you want to transition to the street riding, you’ll need it for that.Check out Popkum Motor Park’s Lessons/Training (www.popkummotorpark.com) program for all ages, as well as the BC Off Road Motorcycle Association’s website (www.bcorma.ca) for upcoming MSF Dirt Bike Schools. Another perk to starting to build your bike confidence on the dirt, training programs aren’t as expensive.So, this is me, the little white angel on your shoulder whispering, “Go on, get on two wheels!” But remember, safety is paramount. Take the test, go to school and thank me later.
‘‘I absolutely, 100 percent without a doubt recommend going to a good professional school to learn how to ride.’’Alexandra Straub

“The buyer smelled a bargain. He thought I was the fool!”
I guess you could say I was addicted. Only my drug of choice wasn’t coke or meth. No - it was the thrill of getting away with it all. And the easy cash, of course.Throwing the camper into that last deal was a great marketing idea.And, like last time, I decided to branch out again. There’s so much more than just cars! This time I decided to go with a motorcycle.I purchased it off the internet – I guess you could call it a curber-to-curber transaction. Oh, of course I knew every trick in the book by now. The seller gave me my old story and said that he was the real owner.Did I care? Not a chance. It was a nice Harley. And, it was a steal. I knew I could fl ip it for more.Why? Because I was a better marketer.But I needed to do it fast. And, I had to make sure I had a buyer that was naive enough not to do a lien check through carproof.com, or the province (bcregistryservices.gov.bc.ca).As usual, I put up a generic, one-line Craigslist ad. With a price like mine, I had a buyer within an hour.I made sure the Harley looked its best. I polished it until it sparkled and fi lled it with gas. Hey, what’s a few bucks?Then I ran into a small problem. I found out that my seller was the real owner. Wow. But he sold me a vehicle that was about to be repossessed.
Fortunately, he was in such a hurry that he didn’t make me do the transfer – so it was still in his name.No big deal. Bridging* was my friend.I just used his name and hoped my buyer would never ask me for ID.And I was right. The buyer smelled a bargain and took the bait like fi sh. He thought I was the fool!No lien check, no ID check. Just cash.I was home free, again.And the best part? When the bailiff came for the motorcycle, he didn’t even know my name.
*Bridging – A trick that curbers use to keep their identity secret. Curbers will pay more for a vehicle from an unscrupulous wholesaler or broker if they are not required to immediately put the vehicle in their name.
This keeps their name out of the vehicle registry and makes them impossible to locate when deals go bad. Breaking the law is never a concern for them.
Confessions of a Curber The Nissan Rogue compact crossover has been substantial-ly updated since its appearance in 2008. The current design is very similar to the Murano but on a smaller scale. It has a sleek pro-file and features a rolled back front grille, large moulded LED headlights and the roof rails combined with the rear spoiler give it a very sporty look.There are three trim levels, S, SV, and SL. The base S comes stan-dard with 17-inch steel wheels, EZ Flex seating system, cruise control, a tilt steering wheel, air-conditioning, full power accessories, keyless entry and a four-speaker audio system with a CD player and a USB connection for a cell phone. The SV model adds 17-inch aluminum wheels, power pan-oramic moonroof, heated front seats and a six-way power adjustable driver’s seat with power lumbar support.The SL trim level starts with the SV model’s standard equip-ment and adds 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, dual zone automatic temperature control, auto dimming inside rearview mirror. The SL’s leather package includes heated front seats, a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, heated side mirrors, a six-way power driver seat, plus a one touch up/down driver window. The SL premium package includes a seven-inch color touch screen monitor for navigation, eight-speaker Bose audio systems with a six-CD/MP3 changer, Sirius satellite radio ready, steering wheel mounted audio controls and ND Richbass sub-woofer. This package also give you a Power liftgate and an around view monitor. There are dual stage front driver and passenger airbags with seat belt sensors and roof mounted curtain side-im-
pact airbags. The vehicle is also equipped with 4-wheel ABS and traction control systems, rollover sensor, anti theft with immobilizer key systems. Vehicle speed sensitive electric power steering adjusts automatically to become easier at lower speed and firms up at higher speed.This vehicle gets you around town but the four-cylinder engine just doesn’t have enough power on the highway. I found my-self constantly pushing the gas pedal to the floor just to keep up with traffic. Perhaps it is the CVT transmission but I would like to see a V6 option for this vehicle. Interestingly, the windshield wipers are noteworthy but not for a good reason. It was raining one day during my test drive and as I stopped at a light I felt the car sway back and forth with the wipers, I quickly dismissed it for a big truck driving by but it was at every stop. I turned them on fully and the car rocked back and forth with every swipe. I have heard about soft suspension, but really?If it is a small crossover vehicle you are looking for and like the feeling of sitting up higher than a car, try this one. Just don’t pack five full-size adults in there and try to tackle the steep terrain of the Coquihalla highway.
The introduction of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee showcased the direction of the new Fiat-Chrysler partnership.It went on to win more awards than any other SUV; in fact, I chose it as one of my favourite vehicles that year. Sales have been strong for not only Jeep but the entire Chrysler group. Freshness has been into each new vehicle and this latest 2014 EcoDiesel version is another example. For this model year, the Grand Cherokee gets a refreshed front and rear, plus interior tweaks and a thrifty diesel under the hood.LooksThe most noticeable updates for 2014 include a thinner front grille and narrower front headlights with LED accents. This really makes the latest model pop; especially when you compare it to the last model. The EcoDiesel option is only available in two trim levels, and this is an expensive vehicle. The Over-land is the cheapest diesel and it starts at roughly $58,000, $3,000 more than a V6 model but the same
price as the V8. The top of range Summit diesel starts at $62,000.In comparison, the base VW Touareg diesel starts at $55,000 but most of the other German mid-sized SUVs with a diesel, like the ML from Mercedes or the X5 from BMW, also start in the low $60,000 range.InsideOne of the biggest changes at Chrysler has been the attention to detail now placed on interior design and refinement. The latest U-connect computer interface is one of the best in the business; many high-end makers could learn a thing or two from Chrysler. The large 8.4-inch screen is one of the biggest on the market and it is very quick to the touch, going from one function to the next is logical and responsive. Pairing a smartphone takes under 30 seconds and the best feature is the map screen, which enables the embedding of a picture in the same way as picture-in-picture TV does. The dash is covered in stitched leather and the cabin overall is simple and elegant. All EcoDiesel models come with leather seats and the back seats can even be heated.DriveThe biggest change for 2014 is the introduction of an all-new 3.0-litre direct inject turbocharged V6 diesel engine along with an 8-speed automatic. With 420 lb.-ft. of torque, this engine just rockets away from a light and cruises effortlessly on the highway. There is a big premium to get this engine over a V6 or lower trim level V8 gasoline versions, but there are some compelling reasons to choose it. Fuel economy is
number one. This heavy truck is rated at 9.8 L/100km in the city and only 7.0L on the highway. With aggressive driving and mostly city, I averaged 12L. I did notice on highway runs that the fuel economy improved radically and quickly.The towing capacity of the EcoDiesel is the same as the 5.7-litre Hemi V8 at 7,200 lbs, but this truck gets substantially better fuel economy. For those that drive a lot without a trailer, the improvement in fuel economy is something to factor in. If you don’t drive a lot each year, the diesel option might not be worth the added cost. VerdictChrysler considers the Jeep Grand Cherokee a premi-
um offering, but I would not put this on a par with the Mercedes ML, BMW X5, Audi Q5 or a very nicely equipped VW Touareg. It is a very nice truck with as much diesel power and efficiency as the competition but the German brands have been at the whole diesel thing a lot longer and are a known entity in the market. The Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel would be a very easy choice if it were about $50,000, not $58,000. If you drive a lot or tow, the diesel might be worth it, but as it stands now the already capable and luxurious gasoline versions are less expensive and come with all the regular Grand Cherokee goodness.
The 2014 EcoDiesel adds a diesel engine to the expected Grand Cherokee luxury. CHRYSLER

Jennie Mae FRASERNovember 11, 1934
April 6, 2014
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, nannie, sister, auntie and friend. After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Jennie left us peacefully on the evening of April 6.
Jennie is predeceased by her son Martin, brother Marshall and husband Cleveland. She is survived by her children Linda (Peter), Andy, Kelly (Bill); Sisters Ada, Diane, Celia (Peter); Brother Sonny (Lillian) and step brother Les (Maureen); Grandchildren Tanya (Chris), Ed (Lisa), Travis and Sydney; Great-grandchildren Michael, Brooklynn and Frank as well as many nieces and nephews.Jennie was born in SW Port Mouton, NS, and moved to Prince Rupert in the late 1960s where she raised her family. She worked at BC Packers/ Canadian Fish for over 22 years, where she enjoyed a humorous relationship with her co-workers. She loved to fish and try her luck at games of chance. Jennie will be missed by many.A very special thank you to Shelly Movold and the wonderful staff at East-Pod in Acropolis. Also to Connie, Joanne, Edie and Flo with the Hospice Society, you are all such a blessing. Finally thank you to Dr. Tse for his ongoing care and support.No funeral by request. A private celebration of life to be held at a later date.Mom you will always and forever be in our hearts.
VALENTIN,Clifford Craig

“We are many cultures, but one community”
Black Press has a very
unique opportunity for the right person.
We currently have an opening for a sales person to help us with our paid distribution newspapers across B.C. This position means getting out in the community and talking to subscribers about our newspapers and working to build stronger relationships with existing readers of our newspapers. It also includes finding new subscribers for our newspapers and helping introduce them our award winning host of community newspapers. This is not a year-around position and will run from March to October each year. We offer a spectacular compensation package and bonus incentives. Your own vehicle is required, but we cover all travel expenses. This is really a great opportunity for the right person. It is a different type of job, but definitely has different types of rewards. If you feel this position would be the perfect fit for you, then we would love to hear from you. Please email all enquiries to Michelle Bedford at [email protected].
