Kitimat Northern Sentinel, March 02, 2016

By Rod LinkFor the Northern Sentinel

What has been one of the more promising planned liquefied natu-ral gas (LNG) projects in the northwest has been shelved.

AltaGas of Cal-gary, the lead Canadian partner in the Douglas Channel LNG project planned for Kitimat, announced February 25 that it and its part-ners could not find any-one willing to buy the product.

“Globally, there is reduced demand for LNG and with a surplus of LNG in the market and the consortium members were unable to secure offtake agree-ments,” AltaGas said in a corporate statement.

Prices now for LNG are around one-quarter of what they were just two years ago when LNG develop-ment fervour was at a peak in the region.

Although at the small end of LNG proj-ects at a projected 2.4 billion cubic metres of

natural gas per year to be exported, Douglas Channel LNG was re-garded as one of the more feasible.

It was not only less expensive, at a pro-jected $500 million, in comparison to the larger planned projects worth more than $10 billion, it would not have required the con-struction of a natural gas pipeline because it would have been fed by the existing Pacific Northern Gas line.

The project would have seen natural gas super-cooled and liq-uefied for export on an Asian-built floating platform moored near Kitimat and connected to facilities on land owned by the Haisla Nation and leased to the project.

AltaGas had first formed a joint venture with Idemitsu, a lead-ing Japanese energy company, and then added partners EDF Trading, an energy provider, and Exmar NV, an international shipper of petroleum

and other products, in developing Douglas Channel LNG.

Its projected mar-ket had been Japanese

customers.The entry point for

AltaGas into B.C.’s po-tential LNG industry began with its purchase of Pacific Northern Gas in late 2011 which

provided it with an ex-isting natural gas pipe-line.

It then took part in buying a first con-

cept for a floating LNG platform near Kitimat out of bankruptcy near-ly two years ago, using that as a base to revive the Douglas Channel LNG project.

Project economics aside, the project ran into a roadblock last fall when federal cus-toms officials decided the imported LNH floating platform was a ship and tacked on an import duty which would have added $100 million to the project cost. AltaGas then ap-pealed the decision and learned in early Febru-ary it was successful.

But that was not enough to salvage the project, said AltaGas in a statement.

“While this deci-sion is positive, and bodes well for de-

ployment of a similar floating liquefaction facilities in the future, the consortium had as-sumed a 0 percent duty when it began devel-oping the project,” the statement indicated.

The company did express satisfaction with what had been achieved, despite the decision to shelve the project.

“The milestones achieved by the con-sortium, including the permits and duty relief, help prove out the fea-sibility of developing a floating liquefaction facility in British Co-

lumbia,” it said.“Individual con-

sortium members can work with other stakeholders if they so choose to determine whether a similar proj-ect can be developed. AltaGas is very inter-ested in working to-gether or individually with Haisla and others to develop an LNG project.”

To date, AltaGas has spent $24 million on the project.

Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin expressed disappoint-ment at the news.

On February 24, 2016 at approxi-matley 6pm a complaint of two lost hikers was reported to the Kitimat RCMP Detachment.

Two men contacted the Kitimat RCMP Detachment stating that they had gotten themselves disorientated in the darkness on Coho Flats trail in Kitimat and were unprepared for the

elements and the darkness.Through communication with

their cellphones, two Kitimat RCMP members hiked into the trail in the darkness and located the men un-harmed and escorted them out off the trail.

The men were then given a lift to their local residences.

Both men were very apprecia-tive of the member’s actions and apologetic stating that the dark-

ness speed caught them by surprise. Both men had the forethought toeach bring a charged, although inac-tive cellphone.

(Note that cellphones, even with-out current plans or minutes, can still dial 911.)

The Kitimat RCMP would like to remind the public to prepare for the elements andweather at any time of year, even dur-ing short hiking trips.

Mount Elizabeth Middle Second-ary School will be offering a new mu-sic course to teach students how to electronically create music on iPads.

The Coast Mountains School Dis-trict approved the senior-level course last Wednesday, Feb. 24, and the school already has a full class set of iPads to use.

“Anytime we can offer our stu-dents another learning opportunity that will engage and excite them, it is considered a worthy investment,” said school district Superintendent Kather-ine McIntosh.

Students will use iPads and instru-ments to create original songs, present them to classmates for peer assessment and do self-assessment of their music.

Offered to students Grades 9-12, the course “encourages students to ex-plore the world of lyrics and modern music creation,” says the request for approval to the school district.

“The approach supports problem solving, critical analysis, self-explora-tion, precise use of language, and pre-cise use of sound (music). It will allow students to explore areas of music and language that is of interest to each in-dividual.”

This course is a follow up to the � rst Song & Music Creation course and will focus more on themes, collab-oration, and post-production, perhaps creating a musical or a rock opera.

Students will explore technologies and new apps to create music and, if

they choose, they will be able to use traditional instruments in conjunction with the iPads.

They will also learn to use differ-ent apps to enhance their work and will learn to work together to help inspire and shape their creativity.

They will have writing exercises to explore themes for their future songs and ways to tie their musical themes together.

They will also write lyrics, edit and proof them with feedback from classmates.

The course framework was devel-oped by Dave Durrant in January this year, and will be offered in Septem-ber if there are enough students inter-ested.

While the cancellation of the Doug-las Channel LNG project will have an economic impact on its partners and on the overall prospect of a B.C. energy industry, northwest natural gas consum-ers will take the biggest hit, says Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin.

That is because there is now no relief in sight to the high prices being charged to deliver the commodity to businesses and homes.

Those delivery prices would have come down once Douglas Channel LNG began operations as it would have used all of the large surplus ca-pacity of the Pacific Northern Gas(PNG) natural gas pipeline which serves the region.

Douglas Channel LNG’s payments to PNG would have then reduced the prices the natural gas utility now charges its current business and residential cus-tomers to maintain its pipeline.

“We now pay very, very, very high

prices for natural gas relative to any-where else,” said Austin.

“And that really began when Meth-anex pulled out [of Kitimat],” Austin said of the company which produced metha-nol at a plant in Kitimat until 2006 using

natural gas delivered by PNG.“When I tell people down here in

Victoria what we pay for gas, for the de-livery, they just can’t believe it.”

The MLA added he can see no so-lution to high natural gas prices simply because PNG must pass along its mainte-nance and other costs to its business and residential customers.

PNG’s natural gas northwestern de-livery rates in this region are more than three times higher than anywhere else.

The most current residential deliv-ery rate here is $12.91 a gigajoule while it is $3.921 a gigajoule in Fort St. John, which is also served by PNG.

On the lower mainland, Fortis, that region’s natural gas utility charges resi-dents $4.939 a gigajoule for delivery, storage and transport.

Natural gas utilities in B.C. are regu-lated by the B.C. Utilities Commission which reviews prices and costs quarter-ly as well as approves rate applications made annually.

Utilities cannot add on anything to the cost of natural gas itself.

Two Kitimat students were among those placing among the finalists at the re-gional annual Skills Canada competition held at North-west Community College in Terrace February 26.

Hannah Lanegger from Mount Elizabeth Secondary took a bronze in the carpentry category while Justin Hick-man, also from Mount Eliza-beth Secondary, took a bronze in the welding category.

Competitors were at the high school, Accelerated Credit Enrolment in Industry

Training (ACE-IT), and post-secondary levels.

“It was my first competi-tion and a great experience,” said Paige Petuh-Bowman, silver medalist in the post-secondary hairdressing com-petition.

“I learned a lot about stay-ing focused and blocking out ev-erything that was going on around me.”

The majority of the gold medal winners qualify to compete at the provincial level

competition in Abbottsford on April 13, 2016.

“We are proud to be part of the Skills Canada competi-tion,” said Jill Long, Director of Trades at NWCC.

“The skills on display

here are those that will be crit-ical to support our economy in the next 20 years. Based on the talent we’ve seen in this competition, I think the future looks bright for Northwest BC.”

“There was an expectation in Kitimat, now that Rio Tinto has finished its smelter, that this would go ahead,” he said.

Austin added that AltaGas and its partners may not have had the kind of deep pockets needed for a long-term investment.“In all fairness to AltaGas, it is not one of the largest of the [energy] companies and just may not have had the capability to look at an investment which is 25, 30 or 40 years down the road,” he said.

“They just may have not been in a position to make such an investment.”

Austin was more confident that Shell, the leading partner in the much larger LNG Canada project planned at Kitimat, has the kind of capital base required.

“Shell may have postponed its [final investment] decision but it is still spending money,” said Austin of site preparation and other work underway for LNG Canada.

Skeena NDP MP Nathan Cullen, like Austin, was also disappointed.

“I know we had lobbied hard for customs relief from the CBSA (the Canadian Border Services Agency) and had hoped that would help,” he said.

“We had really hoped one of these smaller projects would go ahead but with the markets the way they are, when there is going to be a turnaround is anybody’s guess,” Cullen said.

The Haisla Nation would be have been a direct beneficiary of Douglas Channel LNG and its chief councillor Ellis Ross was not surprised given current market conditions.

“We will continue to work closely with other project proponents such as LNG Canada as they continue towards making their own final investment decision,” said Ross of the larger Shell-lead project planned for Kitimat.

“Despite this particular setback, the Haisla Nation still believes in the benefits for the economy and for our people in liquefied natural gas projects, and will continue to en-courage the British Columbian and Canadian governments to move quickly to capture this opportunity for the region.”

The shelving of Douglas Channel LNG also affects a second floating platform project envisioned by AltaGas and its partners.

This is called Triton LNG and it would also have been placed in the Kitimat area.

It would have been fed by a 24-inch pipeline which would have been built by PNG and commonly called the “looping project” or “twinning project” because its intended route from outside of Prince George to Kitimat would have closely paralleled the route of PNG’s existing 10-inch line.

“Triton was a phase two of Douglas Chan-nel LNG. This project is on hold to be re-eval-uated,” said AltaGas

What kind of world are our chil-dren inheriting? For most of us - es-pecially right now, in 2016 - it very much simply depends who you ask or how much you value their views.

Your personal opinion is equally critical and open minds face an in-credibly complicated range of options -- most of them not under our control.

But few answers, other than those recently from Canadian Liberal mem-bers of Pariament, suggest any kind of sunny, bright and positive future for us to look forward to.

More likely are increasingly bleak responses, almost across the board, on economic uncertainties, climate change debate, severely challenging international relations, shortages of jobs, health care, educational opportu-nity, equality or almost anything.

Guaranteed is endless contro-versy, division, expansions of bigotry, increased worldwide violence, danger and death at the hands of both man and nature.

For that reason it often becomes

irritating to watch the ongoing day-to-day furore associated with so many apparent trivialities, celebrity issues, gossip, differences of opinion on what most people perceive to be unimport-ant in the light of the gamut of serious problems facing so many parts of the world.

Triviality examples? Well, there’s a bunch of young

girls in - where else - California, knocking at the Boy Scouts’ door in Santa Rosa, demanding to be Boy Scouts. They face dif� cult legal ob-stacles. Among others, there is Title 1X, a US federal law that prohibits discrimination by sex, which (how-ever) speci� cally carves out an excep-

tion for the Boy Scouts, allowing them to exclude members based on gender. Now, even as the Boy Scouts have ac-cepted gay members, the organization has zealously guarded its boys-only status.

Now personally, I don’t care. There are more important things going on. But in Google you can read over 10-million stories on that one subject. Ten million, yes!

On the other side of the same led-ger, St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carl-son, has issued a letter calling on his parishioners to “seek alternatives to Girl Scouts,” arguing the organization con� icts with Roman Catholic teach-ing. The Archbishop wonders if they and their cookies should be welcome in the fold. “Can I still buy Girl Scout Cookies?” is among questions posted on the archdiocesan website. Bland answer - “each person must act in ac-cord with their conscience.,” Aha!

Still among the trivial and irritat-ing...Twitter drives me nuts.

Continued on page 5

One of the things opponents of proposed projects do to boost their cause is bring in speakers from elsewhere to warn us of the dire consequences there have been in their countries from pursuing the same kind of development we are considering.

That is not only completely valid, it should also be welcomed because what they have to say is based on what actually hap-pened rather than what theoretically might happen.

But sometimes the best laid plans can go awry.

Two weeks ago the Terrace-based Skeen-aWild Conservation Trust brought in a group of Russian scientists/conservasionists which included conservationist Dmitry Lisitsyn.

Lisitsyn is a resident of Sakhalin Island on the east coast of Russia where an LNG plant was built and went into operation six years ago. So the adverse impacts that he cited happened literally in his back yard.

In a pre-public meeting interview with the Terrace Standard he outlined just how dire they had been, as in a collapse of the pink salmon runs and adverse impacts on other sea life.

And Lisitsyn emphasized, in referring to the environmental plan that was contained in giving the project the governmental go ahead, “There was a very big difference between what they predicted and what oc-curred,”

So the evidence is clear: despite the promises offered by the environmental plan, bad things happened.

So there was good reason to be wor-ried about the proposed Petronas-led Pacific Northwest LNG plant to be located near the mouth of the Skeena River.

But he then blew up his own testimony by pointing out that in building the plant the proponents ignored many of the conditions laid down by the Russian environmental authority.

(It should be noted that Gazprom, a state owned company, is a partner in that project so it is hardly surprising they got a free pass on some of the regs from the government that owned it and badly needed the revenue it would provide.)

So all Lisitsyn was really offering was that if you ignore the environmental protec-tion conditions, bad things happen. That, I would have thought, was a gimme.

It is also a gimme that Pacific Northwest LNG will not be able to play the same game.

Continued from page 4The fact that this inane social

media access (in 140 characters or less) has more than 500 million “followers” and intrudes in almost every element of life. I � nd it to be just another mind blowing dis-traction away from reality. But its a choice, I guess...not one I like.

As I read news stories of world happenings I � nd it equally an-noying to be asked to “share” the subject -- on Facebook, Twit-ter, Google+, Reddit and so many more. I participate locally in Face-book and comment on news articles ... but that’s about my extent of use of social media.

A more important Canadian furore - you do not need to be ter-

minally ill to access doctor-assisted dying, and it should be available to those with mental illness or psychi-atric conditions, says a new parlia-mentary report. Ka-boom.

This is not trivial with most people. I suspect it’ll take months to get around to a resolution on this one ... and there will still be about 40 per cent naysayers, led by the churches.

It seems to me the Liberal gov-ernment is more intent on simply overturning existing and recent Conservative legislation than even in pursuing their own strategic ob-jectives.

Like most of the actions taken so far, the moves to overturn Tory citizenship legislation (Bill C-24)

is once more equally controversial in itself and seemingly comes with a variety of unwanted (even unfore-seen) consequences - such as restor-ing revoked Canadian citizenship to Jordan-born terrorist leader, Za-karia Amara, leader of the Toronto 18, now jailed for life. but due for a parole hearing next year. Look it up - dont ask me!

Citizenship and Immigration Minister John McCallum found himself parroting Prime Minister Trudeau - “a Canadian is a Canadi-

an, is a Canadian” faced with CBC questions about the differing rea-sons he personally would choose to revoke citizenship. Using his exam-ple someone accepting citizenship while purportedly being a Roman Catholic priest should lose citizen-ship on the basis of fraud, while a dual-citizen active terrorist should retain citizenship, under the law.

All very confusing. Not as confusing as his burbled

responses on Syrian immigration - but close enough.

Social future

It seems every day there is another story of online fraud or iden-tity theft. It can leave you feeling the only way to stay safe is to permanently say good-bye to your laptop and smart phone. Luckily, there are some simple things you can do to protect yourself from fraudsters.

Whether you browse the web to watch the latest cat videos, visit your fa-vourite online store to shop, or use the inter-net for online banking here are some tips to keep you and your per-sonal information safe.

Because inter-net fraud can strike at anytime, it is a wise � rst step to protect the information on your home computer. To

safeguard your person-al information you can:

Install and use a quality antivirus and a quality antispyware program. You will need to ensure these programs are updated regularly. You may also consider install-ing and using a � rewall program, again ensur-ing it is regularly up-dated.

Never leave your computer unattended while using online banking.

Always log off and close the browser when you leave your computer.

Another impor-tant tip is to avoid using a public com-puter to conduct � -nancial transactions. This substantially in-creases your risk of

account compromise.If you do your

banking online, set up automatic text alerts that will notify you every time there is a login to your account, a new e-transfer re-cipient or bill payee is added, or your pass-word is changed. This will allow you to know quickly about any un-authorized activity.

It is important to understand the solu-

tion to fraud doesn’t rest with technol-ogy alone—the key is right between your ears. While technology helps, the most power-ful tool for protecting yourself against fraud is common sense and your ability to think rationally. Fraud at-tempts often have a ‘too-good-to-be-true’ quality to them. CAFC statistics indicate that 40 per cent of fraud

reported in 2014 was scams offering a ser-vice, prize or merchan-dise.

When you hear or read an offer you can’t quite believe, that’s usually the � rst clue that something is � shy, that you need to slow down, think and avoid making an emotional response. Acting emo-tionally can result in you becoming a vic-tim.

Much of today’s fraud uses what secu-rity experts call “social engineering.” Essen-tially, fraudsters craft messages in a way that’s intended to per-suade or pressure you to do something, like clicking a link in an email that will infect your computer with malware or providing

your credit card infor-mation over the phone. This is why stopping to think and not feel pressured is so critical. When you realize you don’t have to act im-mediately, the pressure is off and the power rests with you.

While a full two-thirds of reported � -nancial losses originate online, through email or malicious websites, don’t forget your regu-lar mail and con� den-tial documents are at risk as well.

Identity fraud still occurs through mail theft or con� dential documents that are not disposed of properly. You should keep tabs on your mail to make sure those bills or statements are arriving consistently and invest

in a home of� ce shred-der to shred con� den-tial documents.

It is a good idea to consider electronic billing and statements and to use mobile alerts to monitor your bank account activ-ity. A good resource to learn more about com-mon scams is the Little Black Book of Scams available on the Cana-dian Competition Bu-reau’s website.

The good news in all of this is you don’t need to be afraid. Once you become informed, you’re in control of the situation.

You can evalu-ate the message, you can delete that email or hang up the phone. Preventing fraud is something you can control.

Three vehicles that were parked at the Metlakatla Ferry Dock were found ablaze at 3 a.m. on Thursday morning.

The Prince Rupert RCMP and � re department were called to the scene and found “two vehicles sus-tained damage beyond repair while the third sustained extensive heat damage,” stated a press release from Sergeant Dave Uppal.

Police are treating the � re as sus-picious. The Metlakatla First Nation is offering a $1,000 reward for infor-mation that could lead to the arrest of the person or people responsible for the � re.

One of the irreparable vehicles was a van that belonged to a Met-lakatla elder.

“The Metlakatla First Nation takes this and other acts of vandal-ism around the Metlakata Ferry Dock very seriously,” stated a press release from the Metlakatla First Nation.

This isn’t the � rst time there was mischief at the Metlakatla Ferry dock. On Oct. 24, 2015 there were six vehicles vandalized between the hours of 4:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. The damage was estimated to be over $10,000.

“It is reported that four males and two females were in the area at the time and are considered to be of interest,” the RCMP press release stated.

Anyone with information about this � re is asked to contact the Prince Rupert RCMP at 250-627-0700 or Crimestoppers toll free at 1-800-222-8477.

Three vehicles found ablaze

Submitted by Smithers RCMPSmithers Interior News

On Feb. 19 Smithers RCMP received a complaint of three males in a car with a handgun.

The complainant was able to provide a description of the vehicle, which led to police locating the car traveling westbound on Highway 97 near Trout Creek. Smithers RCMP members performed a high risk takedown of the vehicle’s occupants: a 37-year-old male and two 27-year-old males. The men were taken into custody without incident.

A search of the vehicle located three AirSoft BB guns, one replicat-ing a Colt .45-style pistol and one replicating a carbine assault ri� e. No actual � rearms were located in the vehicle. The men were released without charges.

High risk takedown

Anti-Bullying Day in Kitamaat VillageOn February 24 the Kitimat RCMP

participated in Anti-Bully Day at the Haisla Community School in the Kita-maat Village.

Kitimat RCMP Constables Re-beckah Draht and Constable Jordan Chaplin, along with RCMP victim services liason Leisl Kaberry, partici-pated in multiple group activities withstudents that highlighted bully aware-ness.

Constable Chaplin and Kaberry also gave a presention to the school that focused on cyber bullying andhow social mediums such as Facebook can be used.

The presentation was interactive and allowed the students to use their cell phones to connect with a “Bully Text” in which a student was sent a bullying sce-nario via text.

Students were then required to come up with a solution to the scenario, allow-ing them to learn about this topic in a dynamic way.

For further information about bul-lying please feel free to visit http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cycp-cpcj/bull-inti/index-eng.htm.

Ani-Bully Day was marked at Haisla Community School in the Kitamaat Village with pink t-shirts, group activities highlighting bullying awareness and presentations, at least one of which was given by RCMP constables. Submitted photos

As the 1950s dawned the new com-munity of Kitimat was becoming a hive of activity as construc-tion of the Aluminum Company of Canada's giant smelter steadily ramped up.

At that time every-thing was concentrated at the Smeltersite where landmarks included the beached Delta King which served as ac-commodation for many of the workers, the first hospital (also on the beach), the Hudson Bay Company store/cafeteria/recreation complex, the dock area and a seaplane ramp. What housing there was climbed the hillside opposite the smelter/beach.

People were arriv-ing almost daily and it wasn't long before they included families joining their husband/father.

Malcolm Baxter, then four-years-old, likes to say he, mother Cathy and younger brother Michael waded ashore on August 14, 1952. The reality was somewhat less dra-matic - they had ac-tually arrived on the Northland Navigation Company’s Northland Prince, a freighter-like ferry which plied the waters between Kiti-mat and Vancouver.

On Halloween Day that same year Ron Burnett, mother Iona and brother Gary dis-embarked that same

ferry and it wasn't long before many other young faces began to appear. Jackie Mufford (Worboys) stepped on to the dock on Novem-ber 8, 1954.

And of course there were the new arrivals at the hospital: Malcolm's kid brother David was delivered there in 1954 and the following year Jackie's youngest sister Margaret was born.

Bud Powell and family arrived in 1955, joining his bricklayer father who, like many, had been working on the project since 1951, and they took up resi-dence at # 47 Smelter-site.

Before long Bud had Haisla chums who invited him across the channel to their homes. He still recalls that when the village elec-trical generator shut down at nine o'clock, he would use his flash-light to send a message to his parents across the water at Smeltersite - there was no phone service between the two in those days.

Bud made life-long friends during those days and is now a proud member of the Beaver clan.

Of course where

there are kids there has to be a school and the Smeltersite School was an amazing three-room hillside structure com-plete with flagpole but no school grounds.

Designed to take 60 students, it was built by Kitimat Construc-tors in just 26 days and opened a little late on September 15, 1952. At opening it enrolled 26 students who were instructed by three teachers. P.E. classes were conducted at the nearby Rec Hall, which wasn’t so busy during the day. Before the end of its first year it was bursting at the seams with 110 students.

Parents in the 50s and 60s used to de-scribe Kitimat as a great place to raise kids. But how did the kids feel about the community in the wil-derness?

Not all the young new arrivals were too thrilled with their new home.

Lois Richards (Godfrey) was 15 when she arrived in 1956 and admits she resented be-ing uprooted from her comfortable existence in the North Okanagan town of Salmon Arm.

Ten-year-old Ruth

Stockman (Brady) also arrived with her family that same year from the big city of Edmonton. But while little Kiti-mat may have been a let-down, having big brother Gordie looking out for you made a dif-ference.

Others who arrived in the 50s included 14-year-old Geoff Mc-Farlane who was also not happy to leave life in Vancouver behind. The feisty teenager must have been a chal-lenge for his mom and step-dad, Walter Gur-rie, who had taken on work at Alcan. A night-mare unfolded months later when Geoff took

off, hitchhiking back to Vancouver.

However Ron Bur-nett found life at the Smeltersite anything but boring. He quickly got involved in school and sports at the Rec Hall were a big part of his life.

Ron recalls going to school at the Smelt-ersite was certainly interesting. "Change was the only constant. There were always new students arriving."

Ron remembers teachers Frank Bower, Mrs. Hopkins and Miss Cavill. Ingrun Hagge-mann's favourite was Mrs. Pousette who helped instill Ingrun’s

passion for music. Mrs. Pousette eventually settled in Terrace.

Ron's schools in-cluded the Smeltersite, the temporary school in Nechako Centre - it was a bit weird to find yourself being watched by people through the full length windows - and eventually the new Mount Elizabeth Se-nior Secondary, opened by Social Credit educa-tion minister Lesley Peterson.

Ron claims to be the first grad from MESS to have done all his high schooling in Kitimat.

The fact you were far from your original

home didn't mean ev-eryone in Kitimat was a stranger. Bud Powell found that out when he discovered it was Dave Chow from his grand-parents town of Trail who was operating popular Helen’s Café at the Smeltersite.

Bud knew Dave from his connection to the Bluebird Café in Trail.

Another surprise was his former Van-couver Art teacher end-ed up being his instruc-tor again in Kitimat. In those days the com-munity was a magnet to people from many walks of life.

The Federal Court of Cana-da has struck down regulations requiring licensed medical mari-juana users to buy from Ottawa-approved growers, giving people the green light to continue grow-ing at home.

The ruling is suspended for six months, but the four B.C. residents who launched the court challenge had their grow-ing licences protected under an earlier interim order.

Thousands of people in B.C. and across Canada received li-cences to either grow pot them-selves or designate someone else to do it, before the Conservative government attempted to restrict production to large commercial growers who sent it by mail.

With the Prime Minister Jus-

tin Trudeau intent on legalizing recreational marijuana use, Kirk Tousaw, a lawyer for the four, says the latest ruling should “once and for all end the stigma-tization and criminalization” for medical users and their provid-ers.

“And in addition, all pend-ing criminal cases against medi-cal cannabis producers, patients, growers and dispensaries should be immediately terminated,” Tousaw told CTV Wednesday. “There is absolutely no reason in this day and age to continue to prosecute people for helping people improve their quality of life with medical cannabis.”

Federal Court Judge Mi-chael Phelan ruled that pre-venting people from growing marijuana for medical purposes violates section seven of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms,

which guarantees “the right to life, liberty and security of the person.”

The court challenge was brought by:

• Neil Allard, 61, of Na-naimo, a former counsellor for Veterans Affairs Canada until he was granted medical retirement in 1999 due to “chronic fatigue syndrome.” He started growing his own marijuana after � nding he was “sensitive to pharmaceu-tical medication,” according to court documents.

• Tanya Beemish and Da-vid Hebert, a couple from Sur-rey aged 29 and 34. Beemish suffers from type one diabetes and gastroparesis, and smokes or vaporizes two to 10 grams of marijuana a day to relieve nau-sea, pain, lack of appetite and insomnia. Hebert received a Health Canada license to be her

designated grower.• Shawn Davey of Abbots-

ford, 39, suffered a brain injury in a motor vehicle accident and receives a federal disability pen-sion.

He held licences to grow for himself and as a designated grower for others, authorizing him to produce 122 plants in-doors and store 5,490 grams at the site of production.

It was a typically anodyne statement by the World Health Organisation: “Given the magnitude of the Zika crisis, WHO encour-ages affected countries and their partners to boost the use of both old and new ap-proaches to mosquito control.” Anodyne, that is, until you realise what they mean by “new approaches”.

Zika is a mosquito-borne virus that is spreading panic around the world. It was � rst linked to hydrocephaly – a develop-mental defect in infants that results in ab-normally small heads, severe learning dif-� culties, and often early death – only last year in Brazil. WHO estimates that it may infect 3 to 4 million people in the Americas alone this year – and the “new approach” is to exterminate the mosquitoes. Literally.

An alternative approach would be to develop a vaccine for the Zika virus – but that would take up to ten years, and the cri-sis is now. Zika has already been detected in 30 countries, and Brazil is investigating more than 4,300 suspected cases of micro-cephaly. The pressure is on to do something fast.

By the wildest of coincidences, some-thing fast is available. It’s only twelve years since Austin Burt, an evolutionary geneti-cist at Imperial College in London, raised the idea of a “gene drive” that would spread some desirable quality (like immunity to malaria) through an entire population in a relatively short time. With a population of mosquitoes, whose generations are only a month long, you could do it in only a year or two. Scientists immediately set to work on mosquito genes, and by last year they had a genetically modi� ed (GM) mosquito whose offspring die as larvae, before they can breed.

By an even wilder coincidence, the spe-cies of mosquito whose genes they edited

was Aedes aegypti, best known as a vector for dengue fever. But Aedes aegyti is also the main transmitter of the Zika virus, and Oxitec, the British-based company that was created to exploit this new technology, is already � eld-testing the GM version of the insect in Brazil.

In the town of Piracicaba, Oxitec has a “factory” that produces 800,000 mosqui-toes each week that carry the OX513A gene. In theory they should mate with the local females of the same species, whose children will die as larvae, so the local population should go into steep decline. And in practice, it works.

Obviously, the enterprise could be scaled up to cover all of Brazil, or even the whole world. The question is: should it be?

Some environmental-ists have already attacked the idea, ostensibly on the grounds that removing an entire species of mosquito would upset the ecological balance and possibly cause further extinctions among the animals that feed on them.

But there are some 3,000 species of mosquitoes (only 200 of which bite human be-ings), so some other species will just � ll the niche left empty by Aedes aegypti and no other bird, � sh or insect will go hungry. And you can always keep a small breeding population of Aedes aegypti alive in captivity so you can repopulate the planet with them if you need to.

The great American bi-

ologist and champion of biodiversity E.O. Wilson gets the last word on this. In his book “The Creation: An Appeal to Save Life on Earth”, he makes an exception for Anopheles gambiae, the mosquito that

spreads malaria in Africa. “Keep their DNA for research,” he writes, “and let them go.”

The same goes for Aedes aegypti. We are going to commit insecticide. And we should.

A bobcat/lynx MSc study is currently under way at the University of BC Okanagan, in partnership with BC’s Ministry of Environment, and your help is needed.

The University and Ministry are seeking photos of bobcats and lynx captured by trail cam-eras, or conventional cameras, from all corners of the province and from all time periods to help determine the current provincial distribution of each species.

Bobcats seem to be moving northwards and into higher el-evations, it is thought.

The photos do not have to be great photography - they just have to show a bobcat or a lynx, or even just a part of one.

Photos can be blurry or dark and don’t even have to clearly

show which cat species is pres-ent.

When sending photos, please include both the date and location of each photo, with the location as specific as possible, (most preferred is UTM or LAT/LONG coordinates).

If that information is not available, then please provide the name of the nearest road or landmark (including dis-tance and direction from road or landmark), or nearest town (including distance and direc-tion from town), or watershed or

Management Unit.Photos will be used for data

only (which species was where when) and will not influence management decisions regard-ing hunting/trapping bag limits or season dates.

Photos will not be published or shared with anyone without permission, and photographers will retain ownership of their photos.

Feel free to email any ques-tions or comments that you may have about this project to the ad-dress below.

The results of this study will be gladly shared with all those who are interested.

Please send photos, along with the date and location of each photo, to TJ Gooliaff at [email protected] or Dr. Karen Hodges at [email protected].

The Kitimat Concert Association is proud to present Patricia Cano at 8:00 pm, Friday, March 4, 2015 at the Mount Eliza-beth Theatre.

Cano brings to Kiti-mat her particular blend of Afro Peruvian rhythms driven by the groove of jazz and the soul of folk and the blues!

Cano was born in Sudbury, Ontario where she grew up in a Peruvian household.

After graduating from University of Toron-to with a degree in The-atre and Spanish Litera-ture, she spent � ve years working in Paris (France) with the world-renowned

theatre company Le Théâtre du Soleil, during which time she was sent to Seoul (South Korea) for three months to study traditional South Korean folk singing and drum-ming.

After leaving the French company, Cano spent seven months in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) listening, playing, sing-ing and feeling her way through the exceptional Carioca music scene!

In 2009, Cano launched her singing ca-reer here at home in Can-ada with her debut album called, This is the New World.

Co-created in four

languages with her Bra-zilian musical partner, Carlos Bernardo.

The album won “Best Album, Solo Artist” at the 2011 North Ontario Mu-sic & Film Award Confer-ence.

Cano has also had a long and important ar-tistic collaboration with Tomson Highway, Cana-da’s premiere Cree play-wright and composer.

Since 2001, Patri-cia has toured the world alongside Tomson High-way, singing and per-forming his songs and stories in a one-woman cabaret.

From Montreal to Rio de Janeiro to Prague and

beyond, this collabora-tion has brought Tom-son’s work to thousands of delighted fans.

In 2010/11, Cano was invited to join the Nation-al Arts Centre’s English Theatre Company and in 2012, she starred in both a Peterborough produc-tion, as well as a French National Arts Centre co-production, of Tom-son Highway’s newest one-woman musical, The (Post) Mistress.

In May 2013, Cano closed the Montreal fes-tival and most recently performed at Luminato Festival in Toronto.

She is currently work-ing on her second album.

Zachary Dumas and Kleanza Cathers from the Kitimat Marlins swim club were among the 489 swimmers who quali� ed and competed this year at the Speedo western Nationals in Winnipeg.

Dumas and Cathers are both north-west BC regional record holders.

The competition was for the best swimmers in western Canada.

The 4 day competition was held at the Pan Am Pool and the almost 500 swimmers attended from 66 clubs repre-senting � ve provinces (B.C. Alberta, Sas-katchewan, Manitoba and Ontario).

Among the top stars who compete were 2015 World Championship Team members and Pan Am Games medallists Hilary Caldwell of Swimming Canada High Performance Centre-Victoria and Russell Wood of Calgary in the back-stroke, freestyler Jeremy Bagshaw of Victoria and breaststroker Kierra Smith of Kelowna, B.C.

The competition was divided in two age groups.

Youth was for 15 and under girls and 16 and under boys and the open category was for 16 and over girls and 17 and over boys.

Zachary Dumas (16) competed in the youth category for boys. Dumas had

an excellent meet and was one of the top swimmers in the division.

His best result came in the 400 meter individual medley making the A FINAL in the event ( top 8) and placing 6th over-all.

Dumas also placed 8th in the 1500 meter freestyle.

He made the B � nal (placing 9-16) in two more events placing 11th in the 400 meter freestyle and 12th in the 200 meter butter� y.

Along the way Dumas broke 5 north-west BC regional records in the 15 and over boys division.

He lowered his own records in the 400 im (by three seconds) and 1500 free-style by (20 seconds) and broke other swimmers northwest BC records in the 200 meter freestyle by 1 second, the 800 freestyle by 3 seconds and the 400 free-style by 6 seconds.

The 400 meter freestyle was also the oldest record he broke.

The old record was held by Kyle Nartz of Terrace from 1999.

Kleanza Cathers (16) competed in the girls open division.

Unfortunately for Cathers she caught a sickness one week before nationals and lost 7 pounds of mostly muscle.

Her best result came in the 200 meter backstroke where she was under her per-sonal best time in the event.
