The Emergency Rescue Unit of the Faith Action Network arrived at Fruit Valley Park to show their support. Background: Vancouver is on the front lines of the struggle against global warming in the United States because of its position on the Columbia River fossil fuel corridor. In September, the Seattle-based think tank Sightline Institute released a study which observed that the “new coal, oil, and gas shipments planned for the Pacific Northwest would carry more carbon annually than five Keystone XLs.”
The street theater action in Fruit Valley came as the finale of a social justice revival conducted by the United Church of Christ at First Congregational UCC in Vancouver, Washington.

Questions & answers.
All drivers will enter into a GLP (Graduated Licensing Program) when getting their new license. The GLP program is 2 stages: the learner's state; and the novice state. Most learner stages are 1 year, and drivers are encouraged to get their learner's license as soon as possible. Often drivers need to get the clock ticking as soon as possible. Even if you're not driving, get your learner's permit.
The key to becoming a better driver and doing well on your road is practice. And practicing slow-speed manoeuvres will improve your overall driving. And on test day when you're nervous and stressed, you will do what you've practiced, therefore, it's important to practice, and especially practice slow speed manoeuvres.
The 4 basic components of any road test are:
1) speed management
2) space management
3) observation
4) communication
If you an demonstrate high ability in these 4 components, you will be successful on any road test, regardless of class.
The speed that you drive on a road test is: 1) the posted speed limit; 2) the flow of traffic; or the ability of the vehicle, whichever is less. In other words, if the flow of traffic is traveling at a speed less than the posted speed limit, than you drive the speed at which the flow of traffic is traveling. If you are traveling up hill with a larger vehicle, than travel at whatever speed the vehicle is capable.
Space management is to give a safe margin between other traffic, fixed objects, and other road users.
You can't shoulder check too much on a road test. Every time you move the vehicle laterally, you must shoulder check. Before executing any slow-speed manoeuvre do a 360° scan. And during the forward part of your road test, ensure that you have a good scanning pattern that includes looking down the road, your instrument panel, and checking your mirrors.
Finally, communication is another key component to a road test. Ensure that you signal, make eye contact with other road users, and appropriate hand gestures.
If you can demonstrate ability in these fundamental components you will be successful on test day.
Good luck on your road test!

CenturyLink Field
CenturyLink Field is a multi-purpose stadium in Seattle, Washington, United States. It serves as the home field for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL) and Seattle Sounders FC of Major League Soccer (MLS). It was originally called Seahawks Stadium but was renamed Qwest Field on June 23, 2004 when telecommunications carrier Qwest acquired the naming rights. It was then given its current name in June 2011 after the acquisition of Qwest by CenturyLink. The complex also includes the Event Center with the WaMu Theater, a parking garage, and a public plaza. The venue hosts concerts, trade shows, and consumer shows along with sporting events. Located within a mile (1.6 km) of Seattle's central business district, the venue is accessible by multiple freeways and forms of mass transit.
The stadium was built between 2000 and 2002 after voters approved funding for the construction in a statewide election held on June 17, 1997. This vote created the Washington State Public Stadium Authority to oversee public ownership of the venue. The owner of the Seahawks, Paul Allen, formed First & Goal Inc. to develop and operate the new facilities. Allen was closely involved in the design process and emphasized the importance of an open-air venue with an intimate atmosphere. The stadium is a modern facility with views of the skyline of Downtown Seattle. The stadium can seat 67,000 people.
