Voters now have one month to decide on whom they will cast a ballot for after the cutoff for nominations came and went on Friday.

There were no new entries for Prince Rupert’s mayoral race last week. As of 4 p.m. on Oct. 10, Lee Brain, Tony Briglio, Sheila Gordon-Payne and Jack Mussallem were candidates battling for the mayor’s chair.

Five of six Prince Rupert councillors presently in office have entered to run again, with Anna Ashley, Barry Cunningham, Gina Garon, Nelson Kinney and Joy Thorkelson all submitting their names into the race. Wade Niesh and Gurvinder Randhawa, who both ran for a seat in the 2014 by-election, are also seeking one of six city council seats, in addition to Blair Mirau and Raymond Pedersen.

In Port Edward, Mayor Dave MacDonald is pursuing his third term as the community’s leader, with Alice Kruta also putting her name forward for the mayor’s seat.

The City of Prince Rupert has decided it will deal with the growing shortage of affordable housing in the community after what some councillors say was a disappointing response by the province on the topic.

The shortage of housing options available to those living in poverty in Prince Rupert is something council has been discussing for months. In September, the city brought a resolution to the Union of British Columbian Municipalities (UBCM) Conference, which received support, requesting that the province create a poverty reduction strategy.

“It’s a step in the right direction, but of course the province has to take that on,” Coun.

Anna Ashley said on Oct. 6. Poverty is a concern of city council with

homelessness on the rise in the community, partially attributed to a shortage of affordable housing in Prince Rupert.

At the UBCM, members of council met with Rich Coleman, B.C.’s Minister Responsible for Housing and the Minister of Natural Gas Development, to discuss the subject,

informing the minister the situation is getting more extreme and that additional affordable housing units are needed on the North Coast as it goes through a period of hyper-activity.

Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem said Minister Coleman was aware of the concern.

“The minister did advise that the ministry will provide another 20 assisted housing units here and another housing support worker,” Mussallem said.

“He didn’t give specifics as to when, but obviously they’re acting in anticipation of our concerns.”

However both Ashley and Coun. Barry Cunningham said they were disappointed with the response they received.

While people gathered inside the Pacific NorthWest LNG office for a public information session, those opposed to the terminal protested outside.

Approximately a dozen people — brandishing signs with slogans such as, “Save Wild Salmon”, “LNG makes acid rain” and “Fracking, Drilling, Spilling, Killing” — spent the afternoon on Third Avenue West to raise awareness of their concerns with the company’s planned Lelu Island terminal and seek support from those passing by.

“This company needs to know that they are not in a favourable spot. There are a lot of people who depend on the river for their sustainable food and a lot of the marine environment depend on the salmon and the eelgrass. I want the company to know that we are active and we don’t agree with the location they are putting their liquefied natural gas terminal,” said Carol Brown, noting there are “a lot of other issues” related to the

terminal. “Where they are is the wrong

bloody place ... it has nothing to do with LNG, this is about the industrialization of the Skeena River. It is just really a bad idea. If you had worked at finding a worse spot, you could not have done it. This is it. We have to let them know

this is just a really silly spot — you have all these other places you could be doing it, why aren’t you looking there?,” questioned Des Nobels.

While not going out to meet with the protesters directly, Pacific NorthWest LNG spokesperson Tessa Gill said the company always welcomes different perspectives on the project.

“The whole point of an open house is people can give their feedback on the project and their opinion and we are very open to any dialogue if people want to talk to us about the project,” she said.

Oppose Lelu Island locationThere will be a lot of familiar names on Port

Edward’s ballot, as all of the current councillors are seeking re-election, including Knut Bjorndal, Dan Franzen, Murray Kristoff and Christine McKenzie. Others hoping to fill one of the four Port Edward council seats are James Brown, Ed Day, Grant Moore and Clayton Vanier.

There are 10 individuals going for one of five chairs around the School District 52 board of education table. Current trustees Terri-Lynn Huddlestone, Bart Kuntz, Tina Last and Louisa Sanchez are all seeking re-election in November, with James Horne, June Lewis, Fanny Nelson, Kimberly Williams and William Spat also entering their names into the race. Interestingly, city councillor Judy Carlick-Pearson has decided to run in the school board race this year.

Janet Beil will be returned by acclamation, as the lone candidate running for the board’s rural seat.

Tanya Ostrom, the City of Prince Rupert’s chief election officer, said candidates are able to withdraw their names up until Oct. 17 at 4 p.m., at which time the list of candidates will be finalized.

There will be three opportunities for advance voting in Prince Rupert and one in Port Edward. There will also be a special advance vote at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital for those unable to leave the facility.

General voting will be on Nov. 15 at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre in Prince Rupert and at the municipal office in Port Edward.

“As much as we were trying to push that this is a concern for our community and the areas around us ... there was not a lot of support from the provincial government for us in terms of saying they would be there to help us,” Ashley said, stating that adding a few new rental subsidies isn’t enough.

Coun. Nelson Kinney pointed out it’s not only those living in poverty who need affordable housing, but also senior citizens, which increases the demand of low-income rental units.

“The apathy the provincial government showed toward the housing situation was sickening as far as I’m concerned. I couldn’t believe it when I sat there,” said Cunningham.

Mussallem told the Northern View he did not share this view.

“The provincial government overall gave us a good reception,” he said.

“They were receptive to what we had to say. I think any time you get various national and international companies and entities wanting to spend million dollars in the region ... you do get the interest of federal and provincial governments.”

In the meantime, community organizations such as the Prince Rupert Unemployment Society are trying to deal with housing issues arising from the influx of workers coming along with proposed development.

For Ulf Kristiansen of the

unemployment society, this has meant an increase of 50 per cent in his workload as the organization experiences a spike in the number of tenant-renter issues it is dealing with.

“Most of that is helping low-income tenants fight eviction notices,” he explained.

Kristiansen said two years ago Prince Rupert had a renter’s market, but this changed with the arrival of project employees. As construction workers rent apartments, homes and even hotel and motel units that were previously been empty, landlords are now able to charge more.

“As a result, landlords who in the past would turn a blind eye to late payments and other things that could be used to justify an eviction ... are now using every reason under the Residential Tenancy Act to evict,” Kristiansen said.

“They look around and see their fellow landlords renting similar units for one and a half to two times the rent. If they can evict a tenant, they aren’t stuck with the 2.2 or 2.5 per cent rent increase (set by B.C.’s tenancy branch). They can rent it for whatever the market will bare,” he also said.

While Kristiansen is unable to provide homeless numbers, he said he has a number of clients who are without a place to live.

“I have clients that sleep outside. I am worried about that because of the fact that winter is coming.”

But the provincial government isn’t

going to help Prince Rupert with its residents living in poverty and the growing number of homeless unless the city finds a way to help itself, stated Coun. Gina Garon.

“I think we need to get quite a few different people in the community together to try to come up with some kind of solution,” Garon said.

And that’s precisely what community groups like the Prince Rupert and Area Ministerial Association (PRAMA) and Kaien Anti-Poverty Society (KAPS) are trying to do.

Vice chair of the PRAMA, Reverend Jason Haggstrom, invited city staff to engage in a conversation about the community’s social housing needs and other issues Prince Rupert faces as it prepares for growth by email, which was included in the Oct. 6 meeting agenda.

“We would like to know how ministries of the church could assist the city in

planning for the economic boom and the social issues that arise from the boom. We as a group want to know how we might get involved and involve our respective congregations in positive ways to help our fellow citizens,” reads the request.

Furthermore, the City of Prince Rupert agreed to proclaim Oct. 17 as International Day for the Eradication of Poverty in the community, as per request of KAPS.

This year’s theme is “Leave No One Behind”, with KAPS partnering with the Salvation Army to host a luncheon for community members who want to join the fight to end poverty in Prince Rupert. The event is taking place on Oct. 17 between noon and 1 p.m. at the Salvation Army, with everyone being welcome to attend.

Anyone facing a tenancy issue or who is homeless is encouraged to visit the Prince Rupert Unemployment Society on Fraser Street or contact Ulf Kristiansen at 250-627-8776.

The lack of affordable housing in town is leaving some with nowhere to turn for shelter.

Tenants turn to service providers to fight evictionsTenants turn to service providers to fight evictions

You would think that the elected leader of a province and a former cabinet minister would have some understanding of how

negotiations work, but the latest happenings in Christy Clark’s push for liquefied natural gas development have shown just how clueless she is.

You see, a big part of negotiating is not letting the other party know just how badly you want/need what it is they are offering. It’s

pretty simple, really, if the person you’re dealing with knows you’ve staked your future on what they’re offering, then they hold all the cards.

That is exactly what is happening right now with the development of LNG terminals on the North Coast. Before coming up with any solid tax plan or financial policy related to the

industry, Clark was touring around the province talking about how LNG would be the saviour of B.C.

LNG would eliminate the province’s debt, would fund a $100-billion Prosperity Fund, would contribute $1-trillion in gross domestic product by 2046 and would create 75,000 full-time jobs for generations of British Columbians. And these weren’t just off-the-cuff remarks, these were remarks made in a Throne Speech last year.

So with the importance of the LNG industry plainly laid out on the record of the Legislature, industry is absolutely right to come out swinging and looking for the best deal possible. The reality is if B.C. doesn’t work out for the LNG industry, they have a lot of options, but if the LNG industry doesn’t work out for B.C. there is no Plan B.

So Premier Clark better come up with something magnificent if she wants any terminal to be operating by 2020, let alone the three terminals she projected in that exact same Throne Speech.

But even if she can make something happen, I don’t think there is anyway she can escape this whole fiasco without a whole bunch of egg on her face.

True leaders don’t give away their bargaining position before negotiations have even begun.

LNG industry holds the cards

Then there will be one.Four people have signed up to become

the next mayor of Prince Rupert. Arguably, whomever that shall be, will become the most important mayor Prince Rupert has ever had — one way or another, for better or for worse.

As the entry deadline passed on Friday, Lee Brain, Tony Briglio, Sheila Gordon-Payne and Jack Mussallem have tossed their hats into the ring for Prince Rupert’s most important position.

But is it?Short of being able to decide points of order,

which can be appealed, the position of mayor is no more or less important than that of a councillor when it comes to actual municipal governance.

A mayor has no unilateral executive powers. One person, one vote.In fact, the power of municipal governance lies with the

council, not the mayor. Just ask Rob Ford.No, where the importance of mayor comes into play is in

the backroom and in front of a microphone.Brain, Briglio, Gordon-Payne and Mussallem will tell you

that, if elected, they can and will implement their vision of Prince Rupert’s future.

Simply put, they don’t have that power.While they are the head and chief executive officer of the

municipality, under Sec. 116 of the Community Charter, the mayor is to provide leadership, organization and guidance, but

most importantly, is to “reflect the will of council and to carry out other duties on behalf of council”.

That leaves Prince Rupert voters with two very big tasks this November.

Who will be the mayor — the voice of this city — and who will be the other six sitting around the council table telling the mayor what to actually say.

Incumbents Anna Ashley, Barry Cunningham, Gina Garon, Nelson Kinney and Joy Thorkelson are all in, as well as Wade Niesh, Gurvinder Randhawa, Blair Mirau and Raymond Pedersen. It will be from these individuals Prince Rupert’s future will come.

That is, as long as the mayor doesn’t subvert council’s wishes and, by extension, that of the voters by manipulating back room meetings or the city hall message to carry out his or her own agenda, the future direction of Prince Rupert will come from seven people — not one.

Again, arguably, the selection of this mayor and this council will be the most important one in the history of this city. And it is so terribly important that this be a vision of seven and not one.

There is not a lucid person in this city that doesn’t know Prince Rupert is on the cusp of great opportunity and great peril. The choices to be made in the next few years by the seven around the table at City Hall will be momentous in their consequence.

These choices are too important to too many to be made by just one.

Water sampling helps assess harbour healthIn 2013 the Prince Ru-

pert Port Authority began its Marine En-

vironmental Water Qual-ity (MEWQ) program, with the goal of collecting detailed data about present water quality within the vicinity of Prince Rupert’s harbour.

These “baseline” measurements can then be compared to future sam-ples to better understand the effects of harbour activity and port growth.

Through 2013 and into 2014, Port Authority staff are collecting water samples from 25 sites in the inner and outer harbour to measure the im-pact of a full range of port operations.

The samples are then shipped to laboratories where they are tested and analyzed to determine their general properties, as well as to detect the presence of metals, nutrients, algae, bacteria and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).

In addition to collecting samples, Port Authority staff use a hand-held probe at each site to take on-location measurements of temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved solids, salinity and pH levels.

Measurements are taken at every metre. Samples are extracted at depths of one, nine and 20 metres below the surface.

These depth profiles are used to catalogue how water quality changes at various depths.

Recognizing that quarterly samples aren’t frequent enough to recog-nize and respond to potential marine pollution incidents, this summer staff members began taking water quality measurements at 28 sites every two weeks.

During their regular harbour patrols, the crew of the Port Authority’s patrol vessel Charles Hays perform this bi-weekly duty, further strength-ening oversight and stewardship of the local marine environment.

These tests result in a wealth of information about water quality. Most of Prince Rupert’s parameters fall within water quality guide-

lines. But sampling monitors for areas of potential concern like low lev-els of dissolved oxygen, which can increase stress on aquatic life. High concentrations of heavy metals like lead and mercury can cause deformi-ties and even death among fish.

Measuring chlorophyll and nutrients such as nitrates can determine if large amounts of plankton or algae are present, which deplete oxygen levels for fish and other organisms.

Through its water sampling programs, the Prince Rupert Port Au-thority is measuring and monitoring the state of our harbour in order to respond effectively to any changes—as they occur.

Its commitment to water quality and pollution prevention is a key component of the Port Authority’s 2020 Environmental Sustainability Plan. It defines initiatives and community partnerships that will extend even further than mandated requirements and regulations.

Together with like-minded community organizations and port part-ners, the Prince Rupert Port Authority is monitoring issues like water quality and introducing best practices to reduce the environmental im-pact of existing operations and future developments.

Letters to the editorLetters to the editor

Thorkelson got it wrongEditor: Contrary to Joy Thorkelson’s Oct. 1 letter

to the editor, “Increase Fish Catch”, the Skeena fishing story is much better than last year.

Nearly three million sockeye returned to the Skeena, enabling commercial, recreational and food fisheries to occur throughout our watershed. This compares to less than 500,000 sockeye last year — too few even for a food harvest by First Nations.

While true, more sockeye returned to Babine Lake than required by DFO to seed the artificial spawning channels, many wild spawning streams of depressed populations are not being fully seeded. In fact, several of these wild populations are at less than 20 per cent of their historic levels.

It is also important to understand, there are never “too many” salmon returning to a stream; such thinking ignores the needs of an ecosystem. After all, we humans are not the only users of salmon — wildlife, forests, and future generations of salmon themselves require the nutrients of spawning salmon to thrive.

Some context is needed. A.L. Pritchard, in his Skeena River Salmon Investigation Report, wrote: “As early as 1937, preliminary examination of the salmon pack figures for the Skeena River indicated that at least in the case of the sockeye salmon, the most important species, a gradual decline was occurring. Over the whole recent period, 1904-1945, a definite decline must be admitted amounting to approximately 50 per cent. The discussion thus far can, in the opinion of the investigators, lead to no other conclusion than that the commercial fishery must be held mainly responsible for the decline in the sockeye salmon populations.” The Canadian governments solution to this problem was to build artificial spawning channels on Babine Lake in the 1960s. This experiment worked well allowing the continuation of high commercial harvest, however

wild sockeye remained depressed.The critical difference between a mixed-stock

ocean fishery and a terminal fishery in Babine Lake is that the ocean fishery indiscriminately catches sockeye from threatened populations, and at-risk species such as chum; the Babine Lake fishery targets only the sockeye returning to the spawning channels. A larger ocean harvest would translate to fewer returning wild sockeye from threatened populations. Diversity in salmon populations is not only critical to upriver First Nations and ecosystem, but also to ensuring their long-term health. This is analogous to your financial portfolio: one would never advise investing all of your money into one stock.

It is also important to note, the “creation of a huge Babine Lake fishery” is not a “grand experiment by DFO”. It is returning a fishery to the Lake Babine Nation that occurred for thousands of years, until 1908 when the Canadian Government outlawed their fishery and expanded commercial fisheries at the mouth of the Skeena.

For the record, SkeenaWild Conservation Trust is not a “steelhead organization” whose goal is to “enlarge the steelhead sports industry”. Our goal is to make the Skeena River watershed a global model of sustainability.

This requires healthy populations of all wild salmon. SkeenaWild also works on several other natural resource issues such as air pollution, mining, and energy — ensuring development protects local communities and the environment.

Clawbacks hurt educationEditor: So the provincial government is going to pay

the $40 a day to parents for school days missed by clawing back unexpended monies from school board budgets.

According to education minister Peter Fassbender, the “saved” money is part and parcel of the provincial education budget and since school boards didn’t use it, they lose it.

Of course, his logic ignores the point that after years of underfunding, school boards could use

the unexpended money to bolster an already cash-starved education system.

And what about the appropriateness of diverting education funds approved by the Legislative Assembly to an after-the-fact measure? Shouldn’t it at least be examined by the elected body that approved the original budget?

Should we worry about just how far down this road government is prepared to travel?

Dick Knox has made his life’s work spreading the word of God, lending his hand to fellow brothers and sisters in Prince Rupert for more than two decades.

Dick and his wife Robin have called Prince Rupert their home for more than 20 years, moving from Alberta to B.C.’s North Coast. The couple raised their daughter and son on the North Coast and have helped out whenever they could over the years, particularly within the community’s churches.

The couple fell in love when they were teenagers, first meeting on their way to school one morning.

“I got on the school bus one day and there was this cute blonde I had never seen before. So, I sat down beside her,” he said.

The couple dated throughout high school, getting married after five years of dating. Years later, the high school sweethearts would go on to have a daughter and son together, raising them in Prince Rupert. Their children are now adults, with the Knoxes being the proud grandparents of two grandchildren.

Dick was originally from Ontario, where his love for God bloomed. Dick joked he was a “mongrel Christian” growing up, explaining his family were members of an Anglican Church, but Dick was registered into a Sunday School program with the United Church.

Dick would switch churches later in his life, becoming involved with one of Ontario’s Christian Missionary Alliance Churches.

“As a young man when I came into a personal relationship with Christ I became active in my church,” he said, noting the church’s pastor had encouraged him to take on the roll despite not being educated in pastoral studies.

Dick became involved as a lay pastor, but after time felt he needed formal training. The Knoxes packed their bags and moved to Regina, where Dick completed his Master of Divinity in Pastoral Studies.

“The only church [I was offered a position at] was in Hazelton. I declined because I thought it was too isolated,” he said.

“I know God has a sense of humour

because in the end we accepted a call to a church in Grand Cache, Alberta, which is even more isolated than Hazelton,” Dick chuckled, noting he pastored there for five years before the couple decided to relocate to Red Deer to find new work.

The couple wound up on the North Coast after Robin was hired for a position at the hospital. Dick believes it was part of God’s plan for the Knoxes to live in Prince Rupert, pointing to how the family wound up finding a place to rent despite there being virtually nothing available.

Robin had arrived in Prince Rupert before the rest of the family in 1993, when the town was experiencing better economic times, and was on the hunt for a family home for rent that allowed pets. It proved to be a challenge but Robin learned one real estate agent had a few remaining rentals.

“She phoned him up and [the agent] says, ‘Are you a Christian?’,” Dick recalled.

When Robin told the agent her husband was a pastor in a Christian Missionary Alliance Church, he immediately offered her the perfect family home.

There wasn’t an Alliance church in Prince Rupert, so Dick and Robin decided they would attend the Cornerstone Mennonite Brethren Church. Dick said members of the

church welcomed them with open arms. Dick would go on to become part

of the church’s leadership team and, eventually, pastor. He held onto the role for five years before stepping down a number of years ago, but continued to provide teaching and preaching over the years, and remains on the leadership team.

His contributions to Prince Rupert’s churches extends beyond Cornerstone, with Dick also serving as a guest preacher at the Presbyterian Church for a six month period and giving sermons at the Pentecostal church, both Baptist churches and the Salvation Army over the years.

Dick was also involved in the creation of the Seafarers’ Mission, acting as chairman of the group for a couple years, and is part of the Prince Rupert Gideons International chapter.

But it’s not just adults that Dick has worked to instill a love for God in. Dick has donated his time to Prince Rupert’s Scouts Canada program for nearly a decade, which incorporates spirituality into the club’s adventures and learning.

Both Dick and Robin were involved

in the Scouts Canada program in Ontario, so when a former co-worker of Dick’s suggested he become a leader, he didn’t hesitate to go with it.

Dick is Cubmaster of the Cub Scouts group in Prince Rupert, which consists of children between the ages of eight and 10. He leads the group in activities such as, hiking, camping and crafts, with a goal of training them to be self-reliant, supportive, responsible and committed people.

“If you get kids who are receptive and want to learn, it’s really exciting to see them taking in the information and applying it,” said Dick.

But that’s not the only reason Dick enjoys leading the club.

“I must admit I’m still a bit of a kid at heart. I still love to play games with them,” he laughed.

This year was the first in many that there has been multiple Scout groups, something Dick hopes the community will continue to experience. For many years there was only a Cub Scout program in Prince Rupert due to a lack of volunteers, however new leaders stepped up allowing for the creation of a Beaver and Scouts club in 2014.

Working for Success

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The City of Prince Rupert believes Rushbrook Harbour is in need a facelift.

Coun. Joy Thorkelson brought the topic to council last week, stating when compared to other facilities in the province, Rushbrook Harbour is in rough shape.

“I don’t want to make anyone think our floats aren’t safe. What I’m saying is that they are not up to the tourist standards that the other floats [are],” she explained.

Thorkelson visited various floats on Vancouver Island this summer and said the community’s main tie-up floats are “the absolute worst”.

“We need to talk to the Port Edward Harbour Authority

about spending some money beautifying our main float,” she said.

“If we’re going to be putting city money into fixing up the boat launch, we should be looking at that.”

Thorkelson said Rushbrook Harbour is not as user-friendly as the other floats she visited this past summer for a number of reasons, including limitations on its facilities.

“People are defecating along the trail because on the weekends and in the evenings

the washrooms are closed there, and people are down there working on their boats,” she said.

Members of council agreed the city should have a discussion with the Port Edward Harbour Authority about making improvements to Rushbrook Harbour, as well as highlighting its concerns with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ Small Craft Harbours program, which provides funding to the harbour authority.


Prince Rupert city council will be asking for the Port Edward Harbour Authority to beautify the Rushbrook Harbour site.

17th Street well behind scheduleBY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

While there have been obstacles in the way of finishing the reconstruction of 17th Street, City of Prince Rupert officials said the end is near.

“We know this project has taken longer than anticipated due to these unforeseen delays, however we now feel that we are back on track and we anticipate to have the road paved sometime next week,” Richard Pucci, the city’s engineering coordinator, said last week.

While not part of the original scope of work, major breaks on 17th Street water line in 2013 prompted a full road rehabilitation.

“Unfortunately this project has been plagued with delays from the start in December of 2013. We had multiple major water breaks on this street due to the age and fragility of the infrastructure, which forced the Public Works Department to start the rehabilitation in unfavourable conditions,” Pucci said.

At the beginning of July it was estimated the project would be complete within six weeks, however there was another setback.

“We had difficulties obtaining the private sector’s paving capacity,” Robert Long, Prince Rupert’s city manager, explained.

“We still have a substantial paving program which was not completed through no fault of the city, but because we couldn’t get a paving contractor ... to come and actually pave on a timely manner.”

Pucci did not immediately respond to requests for what the project’s final price tag is expected to be.

“This project has been “This project has been plagued with delays.”plagued with delays.”

Dolly’s Fish Market’s delicious Halibut Elite Burger had viewers drooling across Canada last week when the Prince Rupert restaurant was featured in the Food Network’s popular series Pitchin’ In.

Charmayne Carlson, owner of Dolly’s, said it was an honour to be recognized by the Food Network and to have celebrity chef Lynn Crawford visit her restaurant. Carlson is not only a fan of Crawford, but also looks to her as an idol.

“You can’t get bigger in my eyes,” she said.

Crawford has more than 25 years of culinary experience, starring in the Pitchin’ In series that follows her as she visits fishermen, farmers and food growers around North America searching for the freshest and best ingredients.

The Food Network contacted Carlson back in April with Crawford and a crew arriving at Dolly’s to film on June 30. Crawford and the crew spent about five hours at the restaurant filming.

Yaishia Schlez, Dolly’s front-end manager and Carlson’s daughter, said filming was a blast.

“The whole time Lynn was here it was like a ball of laughs. She was picking

up our phone and answering calls and walking through the kitchen like it was no big deal,” Schlez said.

While filming, Crawford learned how to make Dolly’s acclaimed Halibut Elite Burger, which she refers to as “the most incredible halibut burger” in the episode.

“Watching Lynn and mom work together in the back making the halibut burgers was probably the most fun,” Schlez said.

“All you could hear back there was laughter.”

The episode, titled “Pitchin’ In at the Lodge”, follows Crawford on her journey to Eagle Point Lodge, 30 kilometres away from Prince Rupert. Crawford offers to prepare a dinner for the lodge’s owner JR Shaw and his staff, catching fresh halibut with the help of its guides.

After a successful fishing trip, Crawford stops in Prince Rupert to pick up some ingredients, taking the opportunity to stop by Dolly’s.

“In Prince Rupert, I’ve heard of this special halibut burger that they prepare

at Dolly’s Fish Market,” Crawford said in the episode.

“I’ve dreamt about those burgers.”Clips taken at Dolly’s include Carlson

and Schlez, along with cooks Marshall Nelson and Basil Lewis.

“I got all my staff to come in. That was [important to me to do] when the Food Network came. All my staff that wanted to be on T.V. got on T.V. which was awesome,” Carlson said, noting the entire Dolly’s team is responsible for its success.

Carlson and Schlez also appear in interviews scattered throughout the

episode, starting off with a remark by Schlez that halibut are ugly.

“When I first saw myself I got a little teary-eyed, I won’t lie,” she said with a laugh, calling the experience both surreal and gratifying.

Carlson said she hopes the episode will attract more visitors to not only her restaurant, but Prince Rupert in general.

“It’s not only Dolly’s, they showcased Prince Rupert so well,” she said.

The Pitchin’ In at the Lodge episode can be viewed on the Food Network’s website under the Pitchin’ In section.

There were a lot of laughs when celebrity chef Lynn Crawford visited Dolly’s this summer. Pictured are Charmayne Carlson, owner of Dolly’s, and Crawford making Halibut Elite Burgers during fi lming.

Avanti to review tailings pondBY ROD LINKPRINCE RUPERT / Black Press

Three tailings pond engineering experts have been hired by Avanti Mining to review its waste management design for its planned Kitsault molybdenum mine.

The three – one American, one Australian and one Canadian – will make up an independent panel that while paid by Avanti, will have a full independent scope to recommend any and all changes they feel is necessary, said Avanti president Gordon Bogden last week.

He said the decision was made after the tailings pond at the Imperial Metals-owned Mount Polley copper mine in the Cariboo failed in early August. “We want to be proactive and do this now,” said Bogden, adding that the company

wanted to be ahead of any regulatory changes that might be coming from the Mount Polley situation.

“The three people we have retained are very talented,” he added.

“What we’re trying to be here is an example of a small company with a significant project.”

Bogden said the company has full faith in its tailings pond design which he said was approved by both the federal and provincial governments as part of their environmental review of the project.

The province gave its approval last year and the federal government this year.

vanti is expecting word on final project financing this month for its approximately $1 billion project and has set out an aggressive two-year construction timetable with completion set for 2015.

The president of the B.C. LNG Alliance warned the Vancouver Board of Trade that the development of export terminals in the Northwest is anything but a certainty.

In fact, David Keane said both industry and elected leaders will “need to make tough decisions” to make the industry a reality during his Oct. 8 speech.

“A new LNG industry in British Columbia is not a foregone conclusion. If LNG is going to be a viable industry in B.C., each level of government must come together with our industry and make some difficult decisions ... these decisions won’t be easy, but they need to be made ... on behalf of my members, I can say with conviction that the BC LNG Alliance believes we can do this,” he said.

“Our province has robust environmental protection, incredibly talented people, a great education and health care system and a stable political environment. But we need to strike a balance ... a balance that recognizes British Columbians deserve fair value for their natural resources. A balance that recognizes that our industry operates in a highly competitive global market. A balance that offers certainty,

stability and a reasonable rate of return on what will be historic levels of investment in B.C.”

As with the Petronas CEO Shamsul Azhar Abbas, Keane said the cost of doing business in the province is becoming a challenge that must be overome.

“B.C.’s overall cost structure holds the potential to reduce our members’ competitiveness and their ability to succeed in the global market ... our members require certainty, clarity and a fiscal environment that recognizes the huge technical and financial challenges of very large and complex projects with significant risks. We need certainty, clarity and a competitive fiscal framework that includes fair federal and provincial taxation,” he said.

Children’s fitness tax credit doubles to $1,000BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Government of Canada has issued a release stating that its children’s fitness tax credit will be doubled and made refundable next year.

This means that the 2015 tax submissions for the 2014 tax year will be the first time parents can claim up to $1,000, double the $500 they could claim before for providing their children with organized physical activity programs.

Low-income families will also benefit, as the ‘refundable’ nature of the claim

allows parents whose incomes are too low to pay taxes also eligible.

“Our government recognizes the impact that expenses for sports activities can have on families, particularly those with lower incomes,” said Prime Minister Stephen Harper in the announcement last week.

The credit applies to children under 16 at the beginning of the year in which the expenses were paid or under 18 for the disability amount.

“Eligible activities include strenuous games such as hockey or soccer, activities such as golf lessons, horseback riding,

sailing and bowling, as well as others that require a similar level of physical activity. Fees charged for extra-curricular programs that take place in school may be eligible,” the government stated.

For Prince Rupert citizens, recreation director Willa Thorpe expected this news to have quite a positive impact on area families with children.

“That would be invaluable for us,” said Thorpe.

“We’ve got a mixed demographic here in Rupert and we’ve got lots of single-parent families [this could help] ... Increased funding from the government

shows that our leaders are also indicating that access to recreation and physical activity is critical and I’d be the first one to tell you that, in my mind, recreation is an essential service.”

Thorpe added that everyone, especially children, should have at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day.

“We’ve got to get our little guys out there and active as much as we can,” she said.

The original credit was introduced in 2006 and will affect approximately 850,000 families in Canada, the government’s projections estimate.

Battling back from two three-goal deficits, the Prince Rupert Rampage’s valiant third-period comeback efforts were snuffed out in a 6-4 loss Saturday night at the Terrace Sportsplex against the River Kings.

Down 3-0 after the first period and later 4-1, the Rampage found themselves in a hole early against one of the Central Interior Hockey League’s (CIHL) most imposing teams to begin this 2014-15 season.

“We have a good skating team and so do they,” said Rampage trainer Jules Robinson on Sunday.

“They’re getting a lot better each time we meet them.”

And the Rampage (1-1) almost had the game tied 5-5 with under four minutes left in the contest when forwards Kory Movold and Tyler Bates streaked down the ice on a 2-on-0 rush.

Movold shot but the puck went wide, and the Rampage’s hopes of winning their first road test were put to bed, but not without a furious third period that saw Rupert score three times to make the game 5-4.

“We weren’t happy with the way the last 10 minutes of the first period went but the team regrouped and got back to the game plan the coaches put together for us,” said defenceman Derek Baker on Sunday.

Terrace (3-0) potted three markers

before the game was 20 minutes old, peppering goaltender Devon Gerrits with shots.

River Kings captain Steve Cullis scored twice and Corbin Legros added another tally for Terrace to give them the early lead.

In the second, the Rampage woke up and notched a goal of their own from their own captain Jared Meers. The team’s top line of Meers, Movold and Bates combined for that play.

But Terrace would add another marker of their own in the second frame as Ben Reinbolt gave Terrace the 4-1 lead.

Jordan Aubee and Calen Findlay went toe-to-toe in the game’s only scrap.

“We ran into some penalty trouble and Terrace was able to capitalize with four power-play goals. If we had limited the number of powerplays by one or two it could have been a different outcome,” said Baker.

The Rampage charged out of the gate for the third frame where Craig Munro would score twice and Movold would add another, but an empty net goal by Cullis

sealed the game for the River Kings who now start the year 3-0 for the first time since the CIHL started keeping track of the games in 2009.

Rupert was also able to hold Luke Gordon, an ex-Western Hockey League player with the Everett Silvertips for three games, to just one assist, although Cullis stepped up for the team with two goals and an assist.

“They have a really deep team that plays a physical brand of hockey but once we started to use our speed and

establish the forecheck we started to have some success,” said Baker.

AROUND THE LEAGUE

The Smithers Steelheads fell to Lac La Hache by a score of 6-1 on Saturday night while the Williams Lake Stampeders continued to roll, beating Quesnel 7-3 for a 3-0 start to the season.

Williams Lake and Terrace remain the only undefeated teams, each carrying 3-0 records.

“They have a really deep “They have a really deep team that plays a physical team that plays a physical

Both volleyball squads are hard at work this week both before school and afterwards and it’s the young guns taking over for the veterans that have moved on stepping up for the senior boys.

“There’s a lot more coaching that needs to happen [with more Grade 11s on the team],” said coach Stefan Delloch.

“They’re a great group of guys and really athletic.”

After the 2014 B.C. Summer Games, where Rupertite Suttira Johansen made it to Team Northwest, volleyball has grown in popularity at the school where dozens of students make it to practice on a regular basis for the senior boys’ and girls’ teams.

“It’s strange,” said senior girls’ coach Jacqueline Jackson who said the senior girls team has 15 players.

“But not strange in a bad way, it’s awesome because we hardly get very many girls for the seniors.”

Jackson and Krista Johnson are overseeing the team as they come together

for their first few weeks in the shortened school year.

“We always start off going over the basics. Right now, we’re going over positioning and learning our defensive positions and offensive cover – things like that,” said Jackson.

As for the boys’ squad, captain Kevin Truong and the team were practicing spikes last Thursday, something he said is one of the group’s strengths.

“We definitely do a lot of spiking during games. Our passing is improving and blocking — we’ve got a lot of height to the team,” he said.

If the team is to make it to provincials, it won’t be an easy road. Terrace’s Caledonia high school and Smithers Secondary will be tough opponents. The Summer Games’ Northwest team’s coach, Kam

Siemens, is a Terrace volleyball veteran bench boss and a formidable opponent for the Rainmakers.

On the turf, Rainmakers boys’ soccer coach Mike Cavin had the team out practicing last week, working on corner kicks and scrimmage drills in preparation for the season. Their first play day is scheduled for the Oct. 18-19 weekend at Charles Hays.

Truong and the rest of senior boys’ volleyball will head to Smithers Secondary

on Oct. 18 for their first play day of the season while the senior girls’ team will play at Bulkey Valley Christian School.

The mboys then host their own tournament the next Saturday on Oct. 25.

On the junior end of volleyball, Charles Hays boys’ team is scheduled to play at Caledonia this Saturday and the girls’ squad in Hazelton for their own tournament.

All teams’ attendance is variable and subject to change for each play day.

Andy Enns protects the ball as a member of the Prince Rupert Seamen in a Seafest matchup versus Prince George in June. Enns is coaching the 2014-15 Charles Hays Rainmakers rugby squad

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Prince Rupert Seamen member Andy Enns will be leading the next crop of the team’s star members by coaching the Charles Hays (CHSS) rugby squad this year.

Enns currently runs practice on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays in preparation for their first zones meet in Burns Lake this weekend.

“We’ve been doing everything to get the lads game-ready so lots of passing drills, a lot of tackling drills and lots of learning how to recycle the ball and keep it moving from all circumstances,” Enns said last week.

A steady core of eight to 11 players reliably make it out to practice regularly, with a total of 17 boys taking part in the tune-ups.

“We’ve got some good depth on the team this year. We have good leadership, and we have three exchange students – one from France, one from Germany and one from the Netherlands,” explained the coach.

Tanner Pretulac, Liam Robertson and Branden Skaar lead the team this year in rugby sevens.

“They’re very gung-ho – very ready to play,” said Enns of his team.

And despite the school being unable to insure them, a few girls have made it out to the practices as well and are taking part in most of the drills, except tackling. They’ll be insured under BC Rugby.

“In essence, they’re freelance rugby players practicing with the boys to learn the game and gain experience. They do not take part in all the tackling drills but they are getting the full benefit of being able to practice with a team and then when they play, they will likely be playing with Smithers ... the coach has already welcomed them to come play with them and they’ll be using their skills in that setting,” said Enns.

Girls’ rugby is run by BC Rugby and while there’s no formal sevens league in the Northwest, the girls are able to be guests on regular teams, something that’s a common occurrence in games in this zone.

So while the school team cannot insure the players, the girls will be able to take part in games with a Smithers team.

“We have basically one team from every city from here to Prince George, so there’s a team from Rupert, Terrace, Smithers, Houston and Vanderhoof – there’s a boys’ team in each of those

places. Then the girls play – either there’s a full team or they’d be playing with a team that needs players,” explained Enns.

Houston Secondary School most recently made high school girls’ rugby provincial noise when they placed third in B.C. in AA Tier 2 finals back in May when the Northwest zone was added as

Ben Visser of Galaxy Gardens looks for a lane while being defended. Visser notched six points in a 14-10 loss to the strong Grassy Bay squad. Visser’s frequent breaks up the court provided much of the offensive pressure for Galaxy Gardens while Hunter Clifton provided Gardens’ other four points. A well-rounded supporting cast — including Mia Orr-Helin, Johnny Larson, Deon Eshom and Jayden Wilson — helped Galaxy Gardens almost complete a comeback in which the six-player squad was down 12-6.

A new exhaust fan is proving to be more trouble than originally thought while being installed in the Earl Mah Aquatic Centre’s pool.

Due to a number of factors, the City of Prince Rupert and Northern Health have deemed the pool unfit for public use while an ongoing series of upgrades are performed.

City manager Robert Long explained in detail the lengths pool workers are going to open the pool as fast as possible last Monday night during a city council meeting .

“Because of a number of issues, particularly the fabrication of the

exhaust fan for the pool boiler and the need for us to continue to work with Northern Health,” explained Long, “... that we’ll be doing a number of things through October with the idea to open the pool on Nov. 3 for public use.”

The pool was originally scheduled to be opened on Oct. 14.

The Prince Rupert Amateur Swim Club (PRASC) will be one user group hit hard by the news as by Oct. 18 of last year, the club was already hosting its first invitational meet.

PRASC head coach Chris Street updated the club members with the news on PRASC’s website and will hold dryland training on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. They’ll also do yoga

on Tuesdays and Thursdays until Nov. 3.

New or existing members who missed the registration cutoff will be accepted until Nov. 4 whereupon registration will be completed.

Members can contact PRASC at 250-624-8023 and through email at [email protected].

The loss of a friend or loved one is never easy, but two speakers at the Closing the Circle Conference on Oct. 25 want to shed some light on one of life’s certainties: Death.

It is a subject that one keynote speaker, Mary Gavan, is no stranger to. Through her presentation, entitled Dying to Tell, Gavan provides insight into the process through her time as a hospice volunteer with her grandmother and, later, as a palliative care nurse in Scotland.

“In my town, some 20 miles outside of Edinburgh, sitting with the sick was a common undertaking. Something about the stillness and serenity of sitting with the sick appealed to my soul and I went willingly with my granny to be with the other men and women. I

enjoyed their camaraderie and matter of fact approach to life as well as their understanding of care,” she said.

“Such is the bliss of palliative care that I remain besotted with it, a lifetime later. What I learnt was the only thing that matters is your own sincerity as a human being to another ... our humanity is what we have in common and what is needed most.”

For Stephen Garrett, another keynote speaker at the conference, the key to dealing with death is simply to change how society, and human-kind,

perceive it. “This Grim Reaper notion, which is

fictitious and mythical, isn’t working for anyone. My goal is to help people disrobe the Grim Reaper and maybe approach death from a different perspective ... perhaps our image of death could be something a little less ominous and something a little more graceful,” said the former teacher and a personal growth speaker with more than 15 years of experience.

“If we changed our view of death and could sit down and have open, compassionate talks about death it may not be that way ... they would have a different relationship with death and they would be inspired to sit down with their family members and do their own end-of-life planning. Even though you may be 40 or 50 or 60, let’s get it done, let’s get it put in a binder and have it ready to go so the doctors and the family can work together on a gracefulpath.”

The conference is being hosted by the Prince Rupert and District Hospice Society, who give of their time to be with the sick and dying through their ordeal. It’s a position that may not appeal to many, but one that both

Gavan and Garrett say is critical to the patient.

“My presentation pays tribute to hospice volunteers who are sharing their humanity. All praise to them and their generous spirits. My stories show why I regard their contribution as unique and as essential,” said Gavan.

“Those people are angels. They are the ones that sit with the families that are greiving and struggling, the ones who sit with the ones who are dying and they keep them company in the hospitals and the seniors homes or their own homes. They do a Herculean job just being with people and giving them company and a hand to hold and an ear to listen at times when a lot of people may be running for cover ... most people don’t want to sit with the dying, but hospice volunteers do and they are a blessing for someone who is all alone in a hospital,” Garrett said.

The Closing the Circle Conference will take place at Northwest Community College on Saturday, Oct. 25 from 9 a.m. To 3:30 p.m. For more information or to register, call 250-622-6204 or email [email protected].

This rendering is of our proposed LNG facility and marine terminal on Lelu Island which eliminates the need for dredging at the marine terminal and minimizes the infrastructure immediately next to Flora Bank.

Thank you for your feedbackWe heard concerns about our previously proposed dredging activity on Agnew Bank. Thanks to this feedback, we asked our engineering team to find a design solution that would eliminate dredging while avoiding impact to Flora Bank.

Our proposed mitigation is to move the marine terminal to naturally deep water in Chatham Sound. To reach the marine terminal we are proposing a combined suspension bridge and trestle. The suspension bridge would reduce infrastructure next to Flora Bank.

This updated design reflects feedback we heard from local First Nations, community members and stakeholders through our open houses, roundtable workshops and meetings with local residents.

BY SHAUN THOMASHAIDA GWAII / The Northern View

The nomination period is over and Haida Gwaii voters will have a lot of decisions to make when it comes to the municipal election on Nov. 15.

The largest on-island election will take place in Port Clements. Four people are vying for the mayor’s seat, held last term by the late Wally Cheer, including acting mayor Urs Thomas, Coun. Ian Gould, former councillor Judy Hadley and newcomer Dennis Reindly. Joining the candidates for mayor are seven residents seeking to fill four council positions. Matt Gaspar is the only incumbent seeking re-election and he will be joined by

newcomers Brigid Cumming, Christine Cunningham, Douglas Daugert, Angela Mielecki, Charleen O’Brien-Anderson and Betty Stewart.

In Masset, Mayor Andrew Merilees will return to his post for the next four years after no other candidates came forward. There is guaranteed to be one new face on Masset council with three incumbents — Bret Johnston, Barry Pages and Jason Thompson — running with newcomers Zoe Sikora and Tony Tyler for the four available council seats.

Queen Charlotte has its second mayor in municipal history as Greg Martin will be acclaimed to the position formerly held by Carol Kulesha. Candidates for council include incumbent Ellen Cranston and

newcomers Richard Decembrini, Jenniger Dysart, Sabrina Frazier and Jo-Anne MacMullin.

When it comes to rural representation on the SQCRD, Sandspit incumbent Evan Putterill will have to win re-election against former director Bill Beldessi while Mike Racz will be acclaimed as the representative for rural Graham Island.

Residents of Haida Gwaii will also be asked to cast their vote for three of the five available trustee positions. In Old Massett, Reg Davidson and Alfie Setso will be seeking the one seat for the community; North Area incumbent Sharon Matthews will need to defend her seat in a campaign against Harmony Williams; and there will be a three-way race for the South Area

seat between incumbent Carl Lutner, former trustee Christine Martynuik and newcomer Denise Husband. The Central Area seat will be filled by incumbent Elizabeth Condrotte while incumbent Kim Goetzinger will return to represent Skidegate.

Gwaii Trust received papers for four candidates to fill the vacant director positions. Warren Foster and Doug Gould will seek election for the Moresby Island position while incumbent Tlell resident Berry Wijdven will run against Port Clements’ Chris Bellamy for the Central Graham Island position.

Candidates have until this Friday to withdraw their names from the election. Voting will take place on Nov. 15.

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Pacific NorthWest LNG brought its modifications in the design of the Lelu Island terminal to the public last week, changes that were largely met with approval.

“Overall, I think it has been positive. We are very pleased to see our design mitigations are being positively received,” said spokesperson Tessa Gill at the Oct. 8 open house in Prince Rupert.

“We have taken a lot of effort to listen to the community and First Nations in terms of their concerns about the project and, as you can see, we have put quite a few measures in place to overcome those concerns.”

The Prince Rupert open house, which attracted more than 75

people, followed an open house in Port Edward the previous day that attracted more than 40 residents. Gill said she was glad to see that kind of interest in what Pacific NorthWest LNG is proposing.

“It is important for the community that they are being heard. We are taking considerable effort to demonstrate that and seriously consider their concerns and mitigations,” she said, noting consultations are ongoing.

“We hope to have a further open

house either in December or January, depending on demand and how much people want to know about the project, but we decided it would be important that people were informed of these mitigations and what we are doing ... as soon as we get an idea and the idea is formed to the point that we think it is something we can do, that it is feasible, then it is very important to bring to the community so they can be involved early on.”

Along with information on the design changes, the open house included renderings of what the terminal and associated trestle would look like both from Port Edward and Kitson Island.

Pacific NorthWest LNG remains on track for a final investment decision by the end of the calendar year.

Terminal changes well received

Corner stores excluded from booze sales

BY TOM FLETCER VICTORIA / Black Press

Large grocery stores are the only retailers eligible to add a separate liquor store under new B.C. government regulations set to take effect in the spring of 2015.

To qualify for a space to sell alcoholic beverages, stores must have at least 929 square metres (10,000 square feet) of floor space and groceries as 75 per cent of their sales, Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced Friday.

The restrictions are designed to exclude general merchandise and “big box” stores as well as convenience stores, according to a ministry statement.

Eligible stores will be permitted to create a “store within a store” with separate cash registers and staff, or “co-brand” with liquor stores outside their existing facilities.

The government plans to maintain its cap on the number of liquor stores, with 670 private stores now in operation. Liquor stores are currently restricted to relocating no more than five kilometres from their original location, but that restriction is being lifted so a licence can be sold or moved anywhere in the province.

That would allow existing government or private liquor stores to relocate in partnership with grocery stores, while maintaining the regulation that no two liquor outlets can be closer together than one kilometre.

Licensing to sell B.C. wine directly from grocery store shelves, a second recommendation from a province-wide consultation on liquor policy reform conducted earlier this year, is still being studied.

Anton said the system “strikes a balance of added convenience for consumers and support for B.C.’s business sector, while at the same time respecting health and public safety considerations.”

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday. (I’m sure I did.)

So the garage sale is approaching this Saturday on Oct. 18 from 9 a.m. to noon. Please do not drop off any more items to the Centre as we are no longer accepting them.

We are almost into November and that means our Fall Tea and Bazaar on Saturday, Nov. 8 is soon approaching. The ticket sales are going very well, probably because of the beautiful prizes. If you have not yet purchased your ticket please don’t forget. A book of tickets gives you 10 chances to win. Thank you for the donations to the hampers and the Family Christmas stocking, we greatly appreciate your generosity. They are not yet full, however, so keep’em coming.

Heads up! My calendar says Daylight Savings ends on Sunday, Nov. 2. That is our pancake breakfast so I hope no one gets confused about setting the clocks back one

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat s seat

All new Ford F-150 leaner, meaner, tough and strong

San Antonio, Texas – In 1948 Ford rede-signed its pickup truck and introduced the F1. Marketing at the time ran ads shouting about the “Million-dollar cab” emphasizing how much money Ford had spent to redesign just the cab of the new half-ton. That first F-series truck was indeed all new – and so is its great-great-great-great grandson, the 2015 F-150. LooksAfter several generations of rounder, then-squarer front ends the 2015 draws inspiration from the ’48. The horse-collar grille is brought back with a much more angular hood; in fact, you’ll see many more lines in the metal thanks to the all-aluminum body. These are design elements, but they’re also needed for strength. On each side of the grille are distinctive new C-clamp head-lamps while above the glass a cut-in shades the windshield. This truck is also 2.5 centimetres lower than the old one, perhaps signalling the end of the over-active thyroid problem most trucks have been experiencing for the past 20 years. Around the back, the looks encompass a laundry list of new features like a pow-ered tailgate, second-gen pullout step that moves the grab-bar inside the gate, in-bed lighting, new removable tie down system and even built-in cargo ramps.

InsideLuxury is becoming a key selling fea-ture of the F-series. There are nine trim

levels available now and this year, the popular FX4 off-road version becomes a package that can be added to any of the trims. Cradling that luxury is a new cab that’s two-inches wider and has rear seats that get more legroom. Storage

bins have been added and the 40/20/40 seats carry six adults comfort-ably. The SuperCab, the rear suicide doors now open flat along the box to 170 degrees, no more getting trapped at the mall. But the big update is all about electronics. A new instrument cluster is larger and all the gauges are video-pro-jected. Because of this

you can configure the cluster however you want – add info or subtract, it’s up to you. The centre console screen is eight-inches wide and displays the views offered by the new 360-degree camera. Four cameras around the truck stitch together a birds-eye view displayed on the screen. Toggle through other screens for expanded views in front, behind and to the sides. Great for parking, not to mention hooking up trailers. For your gadgets, Ford offers 12V plug-ins but also 110V power. A new inverter pumps out 400 watts of power (plugs in the front and back). New and improved driv-er assist features include BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) that also sees cross-traffic; Adaptive cruise control; Lane-Keeping system; Active park assist; rear view camera; reverse sensing system; auto high beams and rain sensing wipers.

DriveWhat you can’t see is the 317 kgs that the ‘15 F-series has lost, thanks to that aluminum body and the increased use of high-strength steel in the frame – but, you can certainly feel it while driving. The truck is nimbler, has less wash in the corners and simply handles better. The cab is virtually silent and for comfort, the HVAC is split side-to-side, front and rear. The hood and side windows have dropped in profile for better visibility, while the size, colours and quality of the computer generated gauges and controls simplifies oper-ation while driving. I towed with the new truck and its manners are good if not improved. In part, this is assisted by the long list of towing features like trailer sway control; tow/haul mode; Dynamic Hitch Assist, SelectShift transmission and better tow mirrors. Off-road an electronic manual rear

differential locker has been added. This truck churns mud better than ever. VerdictPayload is up (to 900 kgs) and so is towing (approx. 5.5 tonnes) yet overall body weight is down by 317 kgs. Ford offers four engines and even the smallest 2.7L EcoBoost will still tow up to 3.8 tonnes. The cab is quieter, yet larger. The floor is flat yet has more storage compartments. The dash is less cluttered yet offers more information. Do you sense a theme here? Consider that the design phase of this truck took four years and the testing was the most intense ever. The result? A list of im-provements a hockey rink long – that’s a fact. Now, how will they all work together? Well Ford’s claims will have to play out on roads, across Canada, in the coming years. But from what I’ve seen in Texas, I’d say Giddy Up!

PRINCE RUPERT

Paris, France – The Paris Auto Show is one of those must-visit events for those of us charged with reporting on the latest and greatest new vehicles.So many manufacturers now develop products for a world market so these early European shows often offer a glimpse of what’s coming next to our shores.Here are five machines that caught my eye.Lamborghini AsterionLet’s start with a dream machine. The Lamborghini Asterion concept car was certainly a showstopper. Sidestepping the current design approach of angular shapes with hard edges, this new Lambo has a more curvaceous look that almost mimics a front engine car. What is wedged in the middle of this exotic is a hybrid system that marries a naturally aspirated 5.2L V10 engine with three electric motors (Two in the front pro-ducing all wheel drive and another in the transmission for full electric drive capability), producing a whopping 910hp with acceleration that will see this car run to 100km in just three seconds. The Asterion is capable of running on just electric power for roughly 30km and, providing silent driving in a wickedly sexy machine. This is a just a concept at this point but with mounting pressure on car makers to reduce carbon output and the fact the Porsche brand (Another VW Group brand) already has the 918 hybrid, this looks like it could make it to market within the next few years.VW Golf AlltrackOk, now back to earth. With the trend towards all-wheel-drive (AWD) gaining more and more momentum it was only a matter of time before cars previously without AWD start to appear with this option. Take the popular VW Golf wagon, soon to be available in Europe with AWD and a slightly higher ground clearance. Called the Alltrack, this more rugged looking and ca-

pable VW will certainly appeal to buyers of the Subaru Outback or Audi Allroad. In North America, we don’t buy many wagons but we certainly love when manu-facturers add a slightly higher ride-height, lower body cladding plus AWD and call them a crossover vehicle. Sales jump. Not available in Canada but after chatting with VW Canada executives, they have put in a request to Germany to get this car for our AWD-loving climate. Stay tuned.Toyota i-RoadImagine a pure electric, three-wheel, scooter-like vehicle, with a fixed roof, steering wheel and can drive up to 45km/h with 50km of electric range. The Toyota i-Road attracted big crowds when it was demonstrat-ed at this year’s Paris Show. The small wheel at the rear of the i-Road pivots at low speed for amazing maneuverability, plus when driven at higher speeds the entire vehicle tilts over like a motorcycle with the front wheels rotating independently of each other. It looks odd and must feel odd to drive but the upside is covered driving, without a helmet, and emissions free transportation. The i-Road is being tested in Japan and will be used in the French city of Grenoble as part of a vehicle-sharing program. This type of vehicle already exists in Europe but the tilting and pivoting elements make it unique. This would not be popular on our wider roads in North America but the i-Road will fit right in on Europe’s busy streets.Fiat 500X The Chrysler Groups’ parent company Fiat is at it again, taking the best that its European brands have to offer and marrying them with American brands. The Fiat 500L has had a mild reception here in North America so now they have taken the same platform and produced the Jeep Renegade. To complete the circle, the same Rene-gade approach is being used with this Fiat 500X, basi-cally, taking the same Jeep-like elements and making them into a Fiat. The 500X will be available with front wheel drive (FWD) or AWD and a variety of engine and transmission options in Europe. The engine choices have not been divulged for our market but expect to see the 170hp 1.4 turbo 4-cylinder and the 184hp 2.4L 4-cylinder engines here. The Fiat 500L has not been a hit for Fiat but, yet again, add a more rugged look and

the sales will likely follow.Volvo XC90Will the introduction of an all-new, full-size XC90 SUV be enough to save Volvo here in North America? Time will tell but the crowds at the Volvo stand in Paris were packed with people combing over every pert of this attractive SUV. It has been over ten years since Volvo introduced the original XC90 and the years have not been good to this vehicle or the brand. Sales for the XC90 and Volvo in general have been pathetic in North America. This new XC90 has a lot going for it and Volvo hopes it will help revive the brand. The XC90 will be sold in Canada with AWD in the T6 or T8 engine vari-ants. Both are turbocharged and supercharged and are matched to an 8-speed automatic. The T6 has 320hp and the T8 comes with an additional 80hp electric motor for improved power and efficiency. The three-row design remains intact but the interior is larger for more space. The dash is a standout with a vertical iPad-like application in the centre for class-leading connectivity and usability. The price of the T6 will start at $60,700 and the T8 will start at $73,400.

Kia has an electric Soul for drivers to enjoy

Cyclists fight back

Every time I hear or read criticism of the habitual running of stop signs and a variety of other road sins committed by many cyclists, a two-wheeler complains that motorists commit more offences.

Ok, well I guess that’s fine then.

What drives-u-crazy?

Kia joins the growing list of electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers with Soul EV, a clever adaptation of its tall 5-door compact with the funky styling. Although still a small slice of the overall car market, EV sales are growing rapidly and so is the public charge station infrastructure that’s crucial to its success, especially in urban areas. A digital readout showed 187 km of driving range available as we headed out on a test loop around Metro Vancouver. And after about 30 minutes of, no special treatment, driving with frequent stops, starts, hill climbs and descents, the Soul EV showed 162 km was still available. That’s relevant, as the Soul EV’s officially rated driving range is 149 km. In addition to being quiet and fuel-free, Soul EV effectively matches the practical user features of its gasoline counterpart. It can seat 4 to 5 passengers and has the same large rear cargo area. Kia’s poly-mer (electrolyte) lithium ion battery pack is compact and easier to hide than others, as is can be molded into different shapes. In Soul EV it’s centrally fitted under the seats and a raised rear floor pan. The gasoline engine is replaced by a 109 horsepow-er liquid-cooled AC synchronous permanent magnet electric motor that can generate a whopping 210 lb-ft of torque. That’s 59 lb-ft more than the 2.0-litre

gasoline engine version of Soul. Standing starts were not as jumpy as other electric vehicles tend to be and the overall performance of the electric drivetrain was impressively smooth.Charger ports for the battery pack are hidden behind a hinged cover in the front grille. The smaller port ac-cepts either a 120 volt (level 1) or a 240 volt (level2) charge connector. A portable level 1 unit is stored in the vehicle and Kia Canada will also provide Soul EV buyers with a level 2 charge unit (made by Bosch) for home installation, free of charge.The charger unit can also be used to pre-heat or pre-cool the Soul EV, while plugged into the grid. You can also program it to start or complete charging at a certain time. The level 1 charger plugs into any electrical outlet, but can take up to 24-hours to fully recharge the battery pack. A level 2 charger (with 30 amp service) cuts the maximum recharge time to under 5-hours. And a level 3 fast charge station can pump-in an 80 per cent charge in less than 30 minutes. We didn’t take it out on the freeway, but the Soul EV seemed very stable (it’s heavier then the gas engine Soul) and Kia claims a top speed of 145 km/hour. Kia also claims that it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/hour faster (by 4 seconds) than a Nissan Leaf. It’s agile and peppy, with lots of initial get up and go, but it’s also no dragster. The two-tone gray interior theme came with attrac-tive and contrasting blue stitching. Extensive use of bio-friendly interior materials also makes Soul EV the most eco-friendly vehicle made by Kia. It feature materials derived from organic substances such as sugar cane, corn, cellulose, and wood powder.The base edition of Soul EV is very well equipped and even comes with dual-zone climate control, voice-activated navigation and a rear view camera.

A leather wrapped steering wheel is heated and also has both tilt and telescopic features. Moving up to EV Luxury adds features like leather (synthetic) upholstery, a heat pump (enhances the climate control system), cooled and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats. Soul EV is only available through selected Kia dealers in major Canadian urban centres (To-ronto, Montreal and Vancouver). Unlike Quebec

and Ontario, however, BC’s incentive program for eco-friendly vehicles ran out of cash back in March of this year. Soul EV does qualify for an $8,000 federal government rebate and that certainly helps make the purchase price more palatable. The Kia Soul EV definitely rocks and is a must-drive for anyone considering an EV in this price range.
