Kitimat Northern Sentinel, March 09, 2016

A worker accom-modation company is scaling back its Kitimat plans in response to the changing prospective

liquefied natural gas (LNG) landscape in the area.

Edmonton-based Civeo has asked the

District of Kitimat for a new development permit for its 100 Lo-ganberry/Sitka Lodge location to reduce the number of beds there from 2,154 to 1,101.

And, cautioned the company, its final total could even be reduced to 646 beds depending upon the state of the Kitimat-area LNG in-dustry.

“Current economic conditions and con-struction delays have required a revised con-sruction plan layout and schedule,” stated the company in its ap-plication filed with the District.

That new develop-ment permit applica-tion now calls for two phases – the first being the 436-bed permanent facility now nearly

finished and a second phase of a 364-bed fa-cility. But, District of Kitimat background information that ac-companied the applica-tion said Civeo “is pro-posing to proceed with Phase 2 only if Civeo is the successful bidder to build LNG Canada’s construction camp ….”

“If the contract is not obtained, Civeo will not advance Sitka Lodge beyond Phase I.”

That LNG project, with Shell as its lead partner, had been ex-pected to make a final investment decision early this year but that decision has now been pushed back toward the end of the year.

District of Kitimat background informa-tion terms Civeo’s

plans as changing from “a schedule-driven project to a budget-driven project.”

Also incorporated into Civeo’s new plans is seeking permission to convert its current 210-bed temporary construction camp into a more permanent fa-cility. That camp now houses workers finish-ing the Phase I.

Combining the Phase 1 436-bed count with the 210 beds in the temporary camp would make for 646 beds as a base level at the location.

Should the second 364-bed phase be re-quired, the total num-ber of beds at the loca-tion would then total 1,010.

The current devel-opment permit 2,154

bed total was estab-lished in 2014 dur-ing the height of LNG project economic im-pact speculation.

Following District of Kitimat procedures, it’s now inviting public comment on the pro-posed new develop-ment permit leading up to Kitimat council’s March 21 meeting.

A smaller Civeo camp also has finan-cial implications for the District of Kiti-mat’s eventual plans to encourage affordable housing.

A $500 per bed levy for the district’s affordable housing fund kicks in for the bed total over 360.

At the original de-velopment permit size of 2,154 beds minus the 360 base bed total,

Civeo would have paid the district $897,000.

With a smaller project now wanted, Civeo would therefore pay less.

The 210-bed tem-porary construction camp was exempt from the $500 bed levy but now that Civeo wants that to be a permanent facility, district staff-ers are recommeding it be added to the overall bed total.

That means should Civeo build both phases as called for in its development per-mit application, its levy would drop to $325,000.

That works out to $500 each for 650 beds once the 360 bed base is subtracted from the new plan for 1,010 beds.

February 25, 2016 – We’re pleased to an-nounce that LNG Can-ada has selected the Ledcor-Haisla Limited Partnership for site preparation activities at our proposed lique-faction and export fa-cility in Kitimat, Brit-ish Columbia.

The Ledcor-Haisla Limited Partnership is a partnership between the Haisla Nation and Ledcor, and the site preparation contract will lead to tangible benefits for the Haisla and Kitimat communi-ties.

“As LNG oppor-tunities present them-selves to the Haisla we wanted to ensure ben-efits for our people be-yond a few payments here and there. Joint ventures such as this one with Ledcor pro-

vide our people with training opportunities and employment, and an ability to partner with and learn from leading Canadian com-panies,” says Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross.

“It’s a commit-ment of Council that the revenues which come to the Nation through such partner-ships are shared with our 1,800 members. This contract, and other contracts like it, presents an opportuni-ty for Haisla members who have left to find work to come back to Kitimat for good jobs.”

Ledcor is one of North America’s most diversified construc-tion companies and be-lieves in engaging with Aboriginal and local communities where it works to increase their role in our projects.

“We value our

strong partnership with Haisla Nation, formed on trust and a willingness to work to-gether,” says Quentin Huillery, Senior Vice President of Ledcor Constructors. “Ledcor

will continue to bring positive, long-lasting benefits to the local community by provid-ing training, employ-ment, and business opportunities on this project.”

The scope of the site preparation con-tract includes activities such as grubbing, ex-cavation, and grading in the area where the LNG Canada work-force accommodation

centre will be located. This work will pre-

pare the site for con-struction, should the project make a positive final investment deci-sion.

LNG Canada will

not undertake any work until the nec-essary permits and authorizations are in place, which we are working to obtain.As we finalize the

The local cold weather homeless shel-ter has closed early with its sponsoring agency citing lower than anticipated de-mand and a milder than expected winter.

Opened late last fall, the extreme weather shelter was to be open until the end of March, but closed instead at the end of February.

The shelter, which offered beds in the downstairs area of the

Kitimat First Baptist Church, just wasn’t used as widely as � rst thought, said Margaret Warcup of the Kitimat Child Development Centre, which runs a variety of social servic-es programs, including housing support and advocacy.

One of the reasons cited, Warcup contin-ued, was the success of another housing service offered by the child development cen-tre which found places to live for people who might otherwise have used the shelter.

“Thanks to our staff, we were able to � nd housing for peo-ple who were hard to house,” said Warcup.

“And we really want to celebrate that as we do this kind of support work and the goal is to have safe and secure housing for ev-eryone.”

A few people who might also have used the shelter have passed away which also re-duced the demand.

“The weather has been not so bad and there are a few people camping but they are

not at risk,” said War-cup.

At peak usage, the shelter could have housed 15 people at the Kitimat First Baptist Church.

But even though closed, a person or persons needing a place to stay can still receive assistance by contacting the housing resource program of-fered through the child

development centre.Based on indi-

vidual circumstances a person could be pro-vided a place to stay in Kitimat or provided with bus transportation to go to Terrace to use its emergency housing facilities, said Warcup.

That speci� c ser-vice began March 1 and continues until the end of month.

That matches the

contract the child de-velopment centre has with the provincial BC Housing agency to provide cold weather shelter for homeless people.

This is the � rst full season the child devel-

opment centre has had a grant from BC Hous-ing to operate a cold weather shelter.

It had a partial grant the year before and relies on a core of volunteers, said War-cup.

Northwest Com-munity College (NWCC) is all but clos-ing its Kitimat campus space as the institution continues to trim costs.

It will only open its doors in Kitimat should there be courses to run, a college an-nouncement indicated last week after its gov-erning board approved a new budget.

“We had one term-position employee in Kitimat. That person’s term was not renewed. We plan to staff that campus on an as need-ed basis with people from other campuses for the 2016/17 year,” said college of� cial Heather Bastin of plans for the year.

The closure fol-lows several years of course reductions be-ing offered by the col-lege in Kitimat and leaves the college with-out a permanent pres-ence in the region’s third-largest commu-nity.

Overall, the col-lege’s board approved a balanced budget as of April 1 of $30.184

million, down slightly from last year.

“The overall bud-get was adjusted down slightly this year be-

cause the softening resource sector has negatively impacted our non-base activities (workforce training and contract training) but we’ve off-set this with cost reductions in the same areas,” said Bastin.

The base grant the college receives from the province did in-crease by $307,000 to cover wage increases for its unionized em-ployees.

In previous years the college has strug-gled to balance its bud-get, resulting in cuts to programs and staff.

This year the col-lege expects to avoid more layoffs by early

retirements and job sharings.

The dollar savings from these measures isn’t yet know, said

Bastin.One measure to

avoid layoffs is to transfer positions that are now vacant in Ter-race to other campus-es.

That’s to avoid losing people in the college’s other loca-tions should their jobs be eliminated and they either don’t want to or can’t move to Terrace, said Bastin.

“In some cases it is possible for that work to be done from any of our locations,” she said of transferring work out of Terrace.

Unions represent-ing college workers and its human resourc-es of� ce are working

on those possibilities, Bastin added.

Students in both its academic and trades programs will face a two per cent tuition hike, the maximum al-lowed by the provincial government.

For a full aca-demic course load, that means a tuition increase to $2,874.56 from $2,818.20 and for a ground level car-pentry trades program, for example, the 20-week program cost rises to $1,371.49 from $1,344.60.

New to prospective students this year is a $25 non-refundable application fee which will be deducted from tuition costs should a student be accepted and then follow through and register for courses or programs.

Bastin said NWCC had been the only col-lege not to introduce an application fee over the years.

The administration fee is to help cover ad-ministrative costs and applies to university credit, business, entry

level trades courses and health program.

It won’t apply to students taking speci� c developmental educa-tion programs or trades apprenticeship pro-grams.

The college is an-ticipating a student population of between 1,800 and 1,900 full time, part time, con-tinuing education and speci� c program reg-istrations. That’s down from previous years when the average stu-dent population was in the 2,300 range.

We plan to staff that campus on an as needed basis with people from other campuses for the 2016/17 year.”

South Africa is now verging on the status of economic basket case. GDP growth last year was around half of one percent, the country’s currency has been in free fall for the past year, and its bonds face an imminent downgrade to “junk” status. So is the South Afri-can economy doomed to a long period of low or no growth no matter who is in charge – or is President Jacob Zuma to blame?

“Zuma is no longer a president that deserves respect from anyone,” said Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, in South Africa’s parliament last month. And as Zuma tried to give his eighth State-of-the-Nation speech (he became president in 2009), the EFF members of parliament chanted “Zupta must fall”. (“Zupta” is a reference to Zuma’s close ties with the immensely wealthy Gupta family).

Julius Malema does not qualify as an unbiased observer, but his view of Zuma is shared right across the po-litical spectrum in South Africa and

beyond. “No-one believes anything he says,” concluded veteran political ana-lyst William Gumede. And yet Zuma continues to be in charge of Africa’s largest economy – which is now dete-riorating practically by the day.

Post-apartheid South Africa was never a great economic success. Af-ter the end of apartheid in 1994, there were high hopes that the economy would grow at 6 percent annually or better and create half a million new jobs a year. In reality, growth averaged just over 3 percent in the next decade – and then fell off a cliff after the global � nancial crisis of 2008.

South Africa joined Brazil, Rus-sia, India and China as a member of the BRICS in 2010, but it didn’t re-ally qualify. While its fellow BRICs

powered through the great recession of 2009-2012 with undiminished growth rates, South Africa’s economy fell to 2 percent growth a year,, then one per-cent, and now half a percent.

It is no crime that Zuma was born poor and never went to school. Neither is it a crime that he has never worked in the private sector: all his jobs, from the age of sixteen, have been in the service of the now-ruling African National Congress (ANC). But it is remarkable, given these facts, that he has nevertheless become very rich (at least $20 million).

Zuma has never been jailed for corruption, but his principal � nancial adviser, Schabir Shaik, was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2005 for cor-ruption and fraud. The judge said that the evidence of a corrupt relationship between Shaik and Zuma was “over-whelming”, and Zuma was immedi-ately � red as deputy president by then-president Thabo Mbeki.

Or consider the astounding events


As schools analyze low grad rates and seek to improve education, perhaps it is worth clarifying the purpose of schools.

The modern-day assumption is that school is responsible for preparing students for all the challenges of life, but is that real-istic?

Don’t parents and families have primary responsibility to prepare children for life?

That is not to say that schools don’t have a very important role.

Schools teach children and youth basic skills such as reading, writing and math. Students learn problem solving, develop creativity, and develop social skills through interactions with peers and teachers.

But research shows that the primary in-� uence that affects and shapes young people are their parents and family life.

Children learn behaviour patterns at home, which then translate into conduct at school and in the world at large.

Schools report that one of their biggest challenges is having students engage and ap-ply themselves to their studies.

This is something only individual students can change, but encouragement at home that hard work can bring rewards and satisfaction should not be discounted.

The biggest in� uence parents can have on their children is through example.

That is, children need to see parents working hard in their jobs and at home.

Despite mistakes and challenges that come with parenting, children often see their parents’ motives and are impacted by integrity.

The art of being a good magician is to leave the audience wondering how on earth you produced that rabbit from an empty hat.

Christy Clark’s Liberal government failed that test in its recent budget when it announced it was es-tablishing the much trumpeted Prosperity Fund next year with an opening deposit of $100 million.

Now that was a spectacular rabbit con-sidering the money for the fund was supposed to come from taxes lev-ied on operating LNG plants and there are none of those in BC nor will there be any in 2017.

But they ruined the trick by explaining where the money, in the absence of taxable LNG plants, would come from - “the gov-ernmentís strengthen-ing economy, fiscal discipline and reduc-tion in operating debt.”

But full marks for being transparent on the source of the $100 million.

However, my im-mediate cynical reac-tion, given the fund is being kick started in

2017, an election year, was this was simply a slush fund the gov-ernment would use to make feel good spend-ing promises in the lead up to polling day.

Not so, says a gov-ernment backgounder on the fund.

“ G o v e r n m e n t has identified its lead priority for the BC Prosperity Fund as reducing taxpayer-supported debt. Gov-ernment will allocate a minimum of 50 per cent of each yearís al-location to the fund to debt retirement, and a minimum of 25 per cent will be saved to accumulate earnings. The remainder will be available for core government priorities that provide long-term benefits to British Co-lumbia.”

So, if we are to take the government at its word, the most it would have available to fuel its pre-election give aways will be no

more than $25 million - which doesn’t go far these days.

But looking ahead, the backgrounder of-fers the promise of better things to come: “Future government surpluses including LNG revenues will help grow the fund over time.”

I find those last two words very interesting.

Essentialy they mean “one day”, a sea change from when the government bravely laid out precise target dates and revenue fore-casts.

But then none of those predictions have ever come true.

And it proved to be absolutely the right time to embrace reality given just a few days later AltaGas CEO David Cornhill an-nounced it was shelv-ing the Douglas Chan-nel LNG project.

In the last couple of years Kitimat LNG, LNG Canada (also

in Kitimat) and Pa-cific Northwest LNG (Prince Rupert) have all delayed a final in-vestment decision but always given a new tar-get date.

Not so with Alta-

Gas. Noting Douglas Channel has been un-able to get “meaning-ful” sales agreements for its product, Cornhill flat out said his compa-ny would not be spend-ing any more money on

the project and without offering any predic-tions as to when that may change beyond saying he expected the LNG market will bal-ance “sometime”.

He’s correct of

course, the market will eventually come about. But with oil prices stubbornly sticking in the low $30s per barrel range and no reason to think they will recoverby Malcolm Baxter

Symbols of respectDear Sir,Open Letter to Honourable Chris-ty Clark

Thank you for offering me your speaking time at yesterday’s meet-ing of the First Ministers and Ab-original leaders. I very much appre-ciate your gesture which symbolizes the respectful political relationship between BC and the Haisla Nation.

Had I been able to speak I would have made the following point, per-haps not new to you or your govern-ment but I think important for Cana-da to understand:

The Haisla people have had a first taste of independance through resource revenues and employment. We were able, ourselves, to cover the gaps in services and needs our people experience. We did not have to ask others for help.

In 2004 we believed we were helping the world move away from dirty fuel to cleaner energy - LNG.

This was the information we had and digested at the time. Now some call LNG a transitional or even dirty fuel. Finding accurate, objective and “agenda free” information for our people is an ongoing challenge.

Premier Selinger, of Manitoba, made a good point when he said we are not starting from scratch in deal-ings between First Nations and the provincial and federal governments. In our case the protocol we signed with BC is the foundation for resolv-ing permitting and development de-cisions in our territory. It gives us a head start to getting things done.

In closing, let me say that the Haisla have never been closer to in-dependence. If that day comes it is my view that it came about through prudent economic development fa-cilitated by the provincial govern-ment.

Reader’s Write

of last December, when South Africa had three ministers of � nance in the same week. The � rst � nance minister, the widely respected Nhlanhla Nene, had an-noyed Zuma by refus-ing to approve some very large contracts in nuclear energy and the state-owned airline. (Nene may have sus-pected that big kick-backs were involved.) So he was dismissed.

The second � -nance minister was David van Rooyen, an unknown party wheel-horse with no � nancial experience. It was soon discovered that he had close ties to the Gupta family, which gave rise to speculation that Zuma was helping the Guptas to capture con-trol of the state’s � nan-cial policies. He was forced to resign after four days.

The third man, Pravin Gordhan, was respectable and com-petent, but by then South Africa’s stock market had collapsed, its currency had tanked, and the Stan-dard and Poor’s ratings � rm had reduced the country’s credit rating to just one notch above “junk” status.

So Zuma does bear the blame for the col-lapse in international con� dence in the South African economy – but not for its long-term failure to grow as fast as was expected. What is to blame for that? South Africa was al-ready a developed country when apart-heid ended. It was a very strange sort of de-veloped country, with around ten million people living in a mod-ern economy among thirty million others who � lled menial roles or lived by subsistence farming. The best that

South Africa could ever have expected was the 3 percent growth that it had in 1996-2008. That would have been barely enough to meet popular expectations for rising living standards.

Downstairs Lib’s bunnyto the $50 level - a � gure many see as the take off point - any time soon, it looks like we are going to have a long wait.

And so will any signi� cant boost to the provincial government’s Prosperity Fund.

FOOT NOTE: One thing that puz-zles me about the Liberal government’s

details on the fund mentioned above is an apparent contradiction.

On the one hand it says the $100 mil-lion comes in part from “reduction in op-erating debt”.

Then says $50 million of the newly created fund will be dedicated to “debt retirement”.

Now I know those are not quite the

same animal but cannot � gure out why the government didn’t simply apply the money from the reduction in operating debt directly to debt retirement.

Oh, wait a minute.That would have made the amount

deposited into the new Prosperity Fund look even sillier than it does.

Thank you to the coaches, officials, volunteers, and families who support these growing champions.

59 athletes from the North West competed at the 2016 BC Winter Games bringing home 13 medals.

By Pastor Clint Magnus

Luke 17: 15: “Then one of them when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell at the ground at Jesus’ feet and gave Him thanks.

There’s a story about two men who were walking through a � eld one day when they spotted an enraged bull.

Immediately they began run-ning towards the nearest fence with the storming bull in hot pur-suit, but it soon became apparent that they weren’t going to make it. The one man said,

“Put up a prayer John or

we’re done for.” John answered, I can’t. I’ve never said a public prayer in my life.”

Well, you have to now,” said the friend, “or we are � nished.”

Alright,” said John, “This is the only prayer I know.” He cleared his throat, “O Lord, for what we are about to receive, make us truly thankful.”

People wring their hands today trying to � gure out what is wrong with our society and I believe it is this; people have forgotten to be thankful to God.

The verse above is part of the account of Jesus where He approached a village where ten

seriously ill men came out to meet Him.

Ten lepers, ten dying, decay-ing, stinking wretches met Jesus and cried out “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”

So Jesus gave them a simple instruction.

He told them to go back and show themselves to to the priests and at some point on the way there, those ten lepers were changed.

Every diseased cell in their bodies began healing. You can almost picture them leaping, dancing and bounding down the road.

But suddenly one of them

stops dead in his tracks, turns around and begins running back to the man of Galilee who had saved them from this awful fate.

He came back, “Praising God with a loud voice, falling at Jesus feet and giving Him thanks.” Only one of the ten.

So here’s the question, “Do we really understand how much God has blessed us with?” Not one of us is hungry, not one of us is naked, we all have roofs over our heads, and all this is from the hand of God who created ev-erything and graciously gives us what we need.

But more importantly, God gives all who repent of their sins

and believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior, all of His eternal riches in Heaven.

In Christ, He heals the lep-rosy of sin that af� icts us all, and make us eternally whole again. Now that is something to be truly thankful for!

Jesus said to the leper who returned, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.” God’s physical blessings are showered down upon all people…but His true gift is the spiritual blessing of forgiveness and eter-nal life through faith in His Son.

In Christ we are doubly blessed now and forever.

Amen.

From the Pulpit: Be very thankful with true gift

Two Kitimat free-style skiers put on a great show at the BC Winter Games last week.

Jared Thornton got ninth in both big air and slopestyle events at the Winter games, and Nicho-las Ferguson got 13th in big air and 15th in

slopestyle events. “Some of Jared’s

tricks, “back� ip,” were so nice that he was used as the pub-lic relations image for the BC games web

page,” said their coach Chance Healey.

“Nick did great as always, with very nice pop on his jumps and always a positive smile on his face.”

Kitimat shines at Games

By Jason CathersSubmitted

The Kitimat Marlins brought a small team of swim-mers to the Smithers invitation-al swim meet to compete with the swim clubs from Prince Rupert, terrace, and Smithers.

Leah Desousa (13) tied for the gold medal in the 12-13 girls division for overall points.

Also in the division was Emile Krabes (12) who took the bronze medal in her � rst swim meet in that age group.

Also taking gold for over-all points was Kleanza Cathers (16) in the 14 and over girls division. Cathers also won the girls sprint eliminator for the fastest 50 meter sprinter for all four competitive swim strokes.

She collected a nice price for her win.

In the 10 and under boys division Gavin Thomopoulos (10) collected the silver medal.

Achieving her � rst ever re-gional medal was Faith Silva (9) in the 9 and under girls di-

vision with a bronze. Swimmers who achieved

the tough task of swim-ming personal best times in all 6 of their races wereGrayden Rusconi (10), Annika Desousa (11) and Iris Striker (12).

Big splash for Marlins

“Together we win, together we lose”!

That is the Win-terhawks PeeWee Rep hockey team’s theme which helped win a tournament in Terrace last October.

This past tourna-ment the Winterhawks won the Zones in the region and the right to represent the Zone in the BC Hockey Provin-cials in West Vancou-ver March 13-18.

A feat not accom-plished since 2010.

Kitimat played Terrace with a win of 9-2. Lucas Aiken scored 4 goals and 1 assist.

Other goals were scored from Philip Tremblay, Evan Shel-ley, Cory Mertin, Ayden Baldo and Mad-dox Medeiros.

On Sunday Kiti-mat needed a win or a tie to advance to the Provincials and suc-cessfully beat Smithers 8-3. Goalscorers were Chase Pacheco, with 3 goals 2 assists.

Other goals from Lucas Aiken with 2, Philip Tremblay, Mad-dox Medeiros and Jack Poznikoff with singles.

Kitimat has a very young team which is made up of 12 players and two goalies while the other teams had 15 players and two goal-ies.

There are six 2nd year aged players, six 1st year aged players and two Atom aged players on the Kitimat team.

Kitimat’s team is a very tight knit group, and did everything to-gether. They faced a lot of adversity this year and it is so nice to see the boys accomplish this great feat.

The hard work and effort the kids put in was just unbelievable.

They work hard on dryland training with two practices per week, floor hockey on Fridays and games on

the weekends.Something the

kids will remember for a long time.

Kitimat has not raised a banner since the 2010 season and thet are proud to say that it was accom-plished again.

It is a struggle in the smaller communi-ties to have enough numbers for a team, but the payoff is worth it when the team sticks together!

The tournament brought in big crowds for the games and friends and family to cheer the teams on!

Having great pa-rental support was a big factor in the team’s success.

The team’s jour-ney is only getting bet-ter as they hope to win the Provincial Cham-pionships in the com-ing weeks.

The players are encouraged to follow their dreams and never give up.

“Together they can accomplish anything. Together they win and together they lose.”
