Council creates plans to approach affordable housingCameron Orr

On direction from council, the District of Kitimat planning team will set to work � guring out potential ways to develop or retain afford-able housing in Kitimat.

The plan comes as staff presented council-lors, at the March 10 committee of the whole meeting, with potential directions that would see things from zoning to other bylaws encouraging more affordable housing.

The list includes creating a secondary suite incentive program, with a maximum budget for 2014 of $50,000; preparing a density bonus pol-icy for the Of� cial Community Plan; investigate allowing Coach Houses in select zones; creating a capital funding grant program for affordable housing projects; preparing a strata conversion policy (the town recently took a stab at that al-ready however the speci� cs of the plan couldn’t be agreed on through debate and the policy was rejected); preparing a Kitimat Affordable Hous-ing Strategy.

(A Coach House is an outbuilding that may have been converted into living suites.)

Aside from clari� cations there was little de-bate on the motion as councillors all seemed in support of the directions.

The only true change was striking a line that would have a capital funding grant funded through the town’s Affordable Housing Fund, as money became available.

But Feldhoff felt the matter was urgent enough that he was comfortable using tax mon-ey to that purpose.

“We don’t need to wait for funds to become available from the affordable housing fund. They will be helpful and useful funds but we should not limit ourselves,” he said.

Phil Germuth added that he hopes that a new eventual strata conversion policy will be more � exible for council to review applications on a case-by-case basis, which was a sticking point for him in past debates.

Meanwhile there were 12 total affordable housing policy options presented to council, with six being recommended for action at this time.

But staff say that over time they will address the other options.

Those options include inclusionary zoning (which would require portions of new construc-tion to have affordable units), the creation of a rent bank, and rental subsidies.

At this early time there are no speci� cs on how those options would be approached and would all be brought to councillors for future debates.

Animal control contract boostedCameron Orr

The Kitimat Community Humane Society is getting a bump to their annual animal control contract, to better re� ect their services and the ongoing increase in labour costs that haven’t been re� ected in their annual budget until now.

As well, employees of the Humane Society will now be granted the ability to issue tickets and perform inspections un-der powers allowed in the Community Charter.

From here, the Humane Society will receive a monthly de-posit of $13,410 for their services.

That brings their contract up from the $6,115 they were receiving prior.

Deputy Chief Administrative Of� cer Warren Waycheshen said at the March 10 committee of the whole meeting that over nine years their contract only rose about 13 per cent, not equal to even in� ation.

The increase will also help them take away reliance on vol-unteer hours, since they get calls at any time of day to handle animal control calls.

Council’s motion meanwhile will also have the District ad-vancing funds to the society in order to help out with a levy from the Canadian Revenue Agency.

Relating to when the humane society detached itself from the SPCA organization, the CRA eventually determined after audits that they had to pay GST for their animal control ser-vices, which they hadn’t prior.

The bill, said shelter manager Maryann Oullet, was at its start $39,600.

That has since been paid down to about $15,000, she told councillors.

The advancement of the money to the society is not a grant, according to the motion.

The funding in this new contract includes the cost of the manager-dog control of� cer, a full time dog control of� cer and two full time shelter workers.

Staff are in the shelter seven days a week to feed and care for the animals.

For 2014, the contract will cost $153,401 for wages and bene� ts, $5,000 for crematorium fees (the crematorium in Ter-race is used) and training costs come to $2,500, for a total of $160,901.

Costs for the building and grounds are included through the Public Works department, and other society operations are fundraised separately through events and donations.

Be more than a bystanderCameron Orr

Sharing a message of solidarity against gender violence, two BC Lions athletes took to Kitimat as part of the Be More Than a By-stander program.

The Lions, Tra-vis Lulay and Rolly Lumbala, were given a warm Kitimat wel-come with a breakfast at the � re hall where community members were introduced to the program through a vid-eo presentation.

But the real meat of their visit came from their trip to Mount Elizabeth Middle Sec-ondary School where they put their message to those who would most eagerly hear it, students.

From speaking to an auditorium of stu-dents, the two athletes held a workshop direct-ly with a smaller group of students.

Kitimat students, they report, were very smart and engaging with the subject matter.

“You can tell they [students] were very

attentive, dialed in,” Lulay said, especial-ly about the smaller ‘break out’ session. “These break-out ses-sions, typically they’re only as good as the kids allow it to be, just with their involvement and feedback and their willingness to contrib-ute to the group dis-cussion and these guys were great.”

Lumbala said all the kids were really en-gaging to the conversa-tion

“The support from the whole community...you can see so many people on board and wanted to get the mes-sage across.”

Both say that since the advent of the pro-gram in 2011, the cul-ture even in the locker room of the BC Lions has changed.

“We’re so desen-tized to a lot of the stuff that goes on around us that often times we found ourselves not even thinking about these issues, especially people who it hasn’t somehow directly im-

pacted their lives,” said Lulay.

He said the ap-proach of the program is to give people tools even if they aren’t the perpetrator of gender violence.

“Respect one an-other but also the wom-en in our lives. That’s the kind of culture we try to create among the football club. And you can see, absolutely, that...we’re kind of like the police in the locker room. I would say the culture has changed, de� nitely,” said Lum-bala.

Among the tools they teach to students is simply to try chang-ing the subject or tell-

ing a joke in a way that helps draw attention to someone perhaps act-ing inappropriately that their behaviour is not acceptable.

“We hope to give these guys some real options,” said Lulay.

While the message is universal, they ac-knowledge their posi-tion as football players helps them reach their audience.

“It gets a foot in the door to at least get their attention for a period of time,” said Lumbala.

The two athletes made many other stops, including to Ter-race, Prince Rupert and then back to the Lower Mainland.

The B.C. gov-ernment wants to keep the 50-year-old Columbia River Treaty with the U.S. and recalculate the power, � ood control and other bene� ts it provides.

Energy Minis-ter Bill Bennett an-nounced the deci-sion last Thursday to stick with the treaty and try to convince the U.S. government it is a fair deal. B.C. gets “downstream bene� ts” worth be-tween $100 and $300 million a year from the treaty, and the U.S. has sug-gested that is too much.

“We believe, with all due respect to the U.S., that if all of the bene� ts in the U.S. are identi� ed and valued, that in fact Canada proba-bly does not receive enough,” Bennett said Thursday.

“There hasn’t been a major � ood in the U.S. since the Canadian dams were constructed,” Bennett said. “Be-fore the Canadian dams were con-structed, there were some horrible � oods causing loss of life and billions of dol-lars of damage. So the treaty was nego-tiated 50 years ago on the basis of pro-ducing power and controlling � oods.”

The B.C. govern-ment has signed off on a new offer for striking truckers at Port Metro Vancouver, and provin-cial of� cials are plead-ing with federal Trans-port Minister Lisa Raitt to authorize it so it can be presented.

B.C. Transporta-tion Minister Todd Stone said Thursday the port of Vancouver is “down on its knees” due to the dispute.

Federal mediator Vince Ready present-ed the parties with a 14-point proposal late Wednesday that Stone said is aimed to solve the main complaints of truckers.

DFO won’t come to council meetingsCameron Orr

While Kitimat Council has asked for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to come to them to talk about concerns regarding waste left on the river by campers, the DFO said they won’t be coming.

In a report to council from staff, it shows that while the DFO has been invited, “[the District] was recently advised that Fisheries and Oceans are unable to participate in council meetings.”

The town says they’ll keep meeting with them at an operational level.

DFO staff had met with councillors last year, the report continues, in a meeting centered around projects proposed for the area.

In clarifying the DFO’s position from past communications, Director of Leisure Services Martin Gould said that the DFO has no concerns about riverbank camping unless � sh habitat was put at risk which, so far, it’s not.

Their advice is if the town is concerned about riverbank camping them to control the access to the river.

As council received the report for informa-tion, councillor Phil Germuth did ask adminis-tration to later provide a map of the � shing areas of the river, effectively from the Kitimat River Hatchery, with a detailed explanation of who owns or controls what lands in that area.

Staff said they would return with such a map at a later meeting.

The Silja Festival ferry has arrived in Kitimat where it will live as the Delta Spirit Lodge, housing up to 600 workers for the Kitimat Modernization Project. Peak construction is expected in June. The ship will reduce pressure on the KMP’s existing work camp which is also expected to run at 100 per cent occupancy this summer.

In our March 12 story “Plebi-scite not dead,” we incorrectly at-tributed comments near the end of the piece. The line, “I’m quite inter-ested in determin-ing to what extent our community is divided...hope-fully we’ll get a strong turn-out at the plebiscite,” should have been attributed to Mario Feldhoff.

We apologize for the error.

Check your tires once a month, since properly inflating your tires improves gas mileage.

Keep your tires in� ated to the recommended pressure level. Your fuel consumption goes up by about two per cent, for every four PSI they’re under. It may not seem like much, but it adds up over time. Properly in� ated tires not only save you money, but last longer and are less likely to skid.When your car is idling, you’re wasting gas and pumping out carbon emissions. Idling for more than 10 seconds wastes more fuel than it takes to restart. Turn off your engine if you’re stopped for more than 60 seconds.

Do we really have to go through all the frustration and divisionary im-pact on our economy of yet another Quebec soveriegnty campaign?

It seems inevitable that we will if the PQ achieves its majority in the April 7 Quebec provincial election.

Parti Quebec leader and Premier Pauline Marois said, “no, not certain” after she called a snap election in the province, aimed at gaining the PQ a majority - a possibility according to recent polls - and on announcement day that was the raison d’etre for the election call.

Marois has not verbally commit-ted to a sovereignty referendum, but it has been obvious from the trend of discussions in the already conten-tious campaign that nothing else is on the PQ agenda, provided it gains the sought-after majority in the assem-bly. The campaign MCs numerically directed at a majority, but all of the scuttlebutt and serious discussion has focused on the PQ’s and Marois’ vi-sion of an independent Quebec and its relationships with Quebec Solidaire and the rest of Canada (RoC).

As the writ came down, I’m sure I heard a collective sigh from coast to coast: “Here we go again.”

But there was also an indication that Canadians’ response to any con-cessionary approach to an indepen-

dent Quebec would be strongly op-posed while separation on RoC terms might proceed.

However, MacLean’s columnist Andrew Coyne opined that Marois’ version of independence looked a lot more like dependence and her wish to keep the loonie by having a say through being granted a seat on the Bank of Canada Board was ridiculed. There’s been deafening silence, as usual, on how Quebec will handle re-payment of its debts and the costs of launching an independent country.

Staring at a major jobs de� ciency and the expected plethora of compa-nies planning a change of location outside Quebec, the PQ campaign is stumbling forward on the basis of a few polls that suggest the majority can be achieved.

Meanwhile Quebec Liberal Lead-er Philippe Couillard sees the bene� ts of taking a business-like approach to the economy, promising to stimulate

the province’s position by investing $160 million in small and medium businesses.

“Small and medium businesses are vital to the recovery of our econ-omy and the creation of jobs” he said.

He also unveiled a number of oth-er initiatives for the province’s busi-ness owners, including $12 million per year in tax credits (up to 50 per cent) for travel linked to international and interprovincial exports, as well as more streamlined interaction between the government and businesses to lower administrative costs by up to 20 per cent by 2015, � nancial aid to sup-port innovation and creative projects and tax breaks for salaries in order to facilitate the hiring of specialized em-ployees.

The PQ says these approaches are unaffordable in Quebec.

So, how the economy will survive remains the big question in Quebec. Depends who you ask.

Stephen Gordon, an economist at Université Laval in Quebec City who carried out an analysis on the currency question assessed “there’s nothing in it for Canada.

There’s no reason at all why the rest of Canada would be interested in surrendering part control of its mon-etary policy.”

The frustrating Quebec question

The minutesWell there I was grumbling about how the prov-

ince should step up its game on affordable housing and the Monday right after the District of Kitimat admin-istration pitches upwards of 12 options the town could do to help make the town a bit more affordable.

So I just had to take a few inches of newsprint to commend the town for its work — that includes coun-cil as well, I know they’re in on it too — to making sure housing � nds ways to be affordable again.

The report the administration put together before the committee of the whole meeting appeared quite thorough even for just being an early stage towards � nalizing plans. I know as a reporter my eye occasion-ally twinges when I see a report as many inches thick as this was, but I know the issue is an important one.

Meanwhile, since we’re talking about the local government and good things that are coming out of it, may as well bring up the Leisure Services Depart-ment’s hoped-for reworking of the town’s wading pools, particularly to add spray features to the park on Chilko Street in the Kildala neighbourhood.

I posted the concept art of the proposal to the Sen-tinel’s Facebook page to see what comments it stirred up and it’s almost universally being praised. People, it seems, are quite excited for the idea.

The District did hold a small open house last year which I attended where they appeared to be gauging whether the spray park idea was the right path to be on and last week’s report appears to be the result of that meeting and of course much other work.

I’m open to this idea too. Just to be a devil’s advo-cate my only concern at this point would be investing a lot of money into a project relatively soon after the town had to even close down the pools due to the loss of tax revenue from the Eurocan closure.

But even so, the report points to a fairly signi� -cant expenditure to even bring the two pools back into original condition with the same design.

I’m left with the conclusion that it’s either spend a lot (I’m speaking in comparative terms here) to reno-vate, or a bit more to redesign.

We’ll be left with an updated, hip place for fami-lies to gather if we modernize the pools. It will also keep with the theme of the new Kitimat swimming pool itself. I love a uni� ed design.

Sure, there’s also the feeling that this is a new ‘want to’ rather than a ‘need to’ cost to the town, which, beyond the KMP project, has no � rm invest-ment decisions from the other interested industry, but clearly a lot of people are on board with the wading pool project ideas, and if we can make them look bet-ter — and make them more accessible, I better not for-get — then it’s a project worth investing in.

Of course it will be a year or more before this comes up in a budget talk for the town, but right now its something we can look forward to.

Dear Sir,What do Clore

River and Bolton, McKay and Williams creeks in the Terrace-Kitimat area have in common with each other, and with the pro-posed Northern Gate-way Pipelines project? They are all sites of run of river power proj-ects proposed by the numbered company 8056587 Canada Ltd., which is a subsidiary of Enbridge Inc. that is the proponent of the pipelines project.

News broke of the Clore River power project proposed by 8056587 Canada Inc. on November 22; a subsequent news ar-ticle on December 12 provided more details and spoke of additional sites.

On November 22, it was reported that Enbridge spokes-man Ivan Giesbrecht claimed Enbridge had received a licence to carry out investigative assessments of a run-of-river power project on the Clore River. Giesbrecht’s statement warranted checking into when I learned de-tails of the application on a BC government web site December 30. In early January, by which time I knew of the Bolton, McKay

and Williams projects as well, I asked both Enbridge and B.C. government staff for the dates of licence is-suance and the name the licences were is-sued under for each of the sites.

Government staff said licences had not been issued. They con-firmed 8056587 Can-ada Inc. had been sent investigative work of-fers of tenure Decem-ber 9 for the Clore Riv-er and Bolton, McKay and Williams creeks power projects. They also said as of Janu-ary 8 the offers had not been signed by the pro-ponent and returned to the government. That certainly dispelled Mr. Giesbrecht’s claim.

On January 10 I received a reply to my questions (not answers) from En-bridge’s Director, Public and Aboriginal Engagement, Michele Perret; she wrote:

“As you are aware, there are many com-panies involved in this type of work. We ap-ply for these investiga-tive licenses for com-petitive reasons, and as such, any specifics related to them are considered proprietary information that we do not discuss publicly. Applications for these

types of investigative licenses are submitted to the British Colum-bia Ministry of Forest Land and Natural Re-source Operations.”

The reply by Ms. Perret caused me to reflect on the Decem-ber 12 news article that also reported Mr. Gies-brecht as saying there is nothing suspicious in its use of a num-bered company.

“Green energy is a growing sector”, Gies-brecht said, “so it’s prudent to avoid tip-ping off potential com-petitors.”

To me, both Ms. Perret and Mr. Gies-brecht implied it is Enbridge’s practice to maintain secrecy when it comes to their “green energy” subsid-iaries and their activi-ties, through the use of numbered companies. That is not the case, though, as proven by the name of another Enbridge subsidiary, Enbridge Hydropower Holdings Inc.

That naming con-vention does not leave potential competitors, or the public for that matter, guessing who is behind it or what their business interests are.

The business inter-ests of both 8056587 Canada Inc. and En-

bridge Hydropower Holdings Inc. appear to be the same, and I believe it is logical to assume they would have the same potential competitors; yet only 8056587 Canada Inc. exhibits anonymity. Ms. Perret’s reply and Mr. Giesbrecht’s com-ments do not, in my opinion, sound trust-worthy. It was also reported in December that Mr. Giesbrecht said the power proj-ects are not being built to power pumps for the proposed North-ern Gateway Pipelines project. I am not con-vinced.

My suspicions

about 8056587 Canada Inc.’s power projects being linked to the En-bridge Northern Gate-way Pipelines project have been fueled by the following glaring similarities between the two:

1) The Clore pow-er project’s tunnel (site of intake) is near the confluence of the Clore and Burnie rivers. So is the eastern portal of the pipelines’ Clore tunnel, work camp, and staging area.

2) The Clore power project’s tunnel is stated to be 6,400 metres long and ap-proximately 3.7 metres in diameter. The pipe-

line’s Clore tunnel is stated to be 6,479 me-tres in length and five metres in diameter.

3) The power transmission line from the Clore River power project will run east. There is a pipelines pump station proposed for the Houston area, to the east.

4) The power transmission lines from the Bolton and McKay creeks’ power projects will join the BC Hydro grid at Highway 37 between Kitimat and Terrace, and from the Williams Creek project southeast of Terrace. There is a pipelines pump station proposed

between Terrace and Kitimat.

Should anyone need more convincing that 8056587 Canada Inc. power projects are linked to the North-ern Gateway pipelines project, there are also four run of river proj-ects and one power transmission line proj-ect planned northeast of Prince George. The power transmission line runs along the route of the pipelines, passing by one of the construction camps and pipe stockpile ar-eas on its way to Bear Lake, the location of a pump station.

Connection theory of run of river to Gateway

Explaining the importance of the Lent traditionMathew 4:17, “From

that time Jesus began to preach and to say, ‘Repent for the kingdom of Heaven is near.”

What is Lent? For those who may be unfamiliar with Lent, here is a brief ex-planation: Lent is the forty days between Ash Wednes-day (which this year falls on March 5), and Palm Sunday. (which marks the beginning of Holy Week) It is a time where believers prepare themselves through prayer and repentance as we look ahead to the cross

and Christ’s sacrifice on it for us. It is forty days be-cause that is the time that Jesus spent in the wilder-ness fasting.

So for that reason, many people fast or give up things for Lent to help them

focus on spiritual matters rather than material things.

So why all the fuss; be-cause it was that first Holy Week when God made good on His promise to save us from the eternal destruc-tion we all deserve for our

sin and rebellion. It is the events of Holy Week that give us our hope and assur-ance of salvation, because it is only through repentance and faith in Christ’s atoning death on the cross that we receive a right relationship with our Heavenly Father.

And it is as a result of the empty tomb that we have assurance that, be-cause Christ defeated death for us, we too through faith in Him, will receive a resur-rection to eternal life.

The verse I quoted above happened just af-

ter Jesus’ 40-day ordeal in the wilderness. “From that time Jesus began to preach, ‘Repent for the kingdom of Heaven is near.”

Never has so important of a sermon been preached in so few words. From the moment Jesus began to preach these words He was traveling towards the cross, but in preparation for that, He sent out the call for peo-ple to repent; to acknowl-edge our sin and turn to our Savior. Why? Because repentance always leads to the cross; because it is only

there we see our forgive-ness. It is only through Christ’s shed blood that our hearts can be cleansed and we can be welcomed into the presence of our Heav-enly Father.

And so today I would urge you to take this first step of repentance in this season of Lent. No mat-ter what you have done in your life, Jesus paid for it on the cross and He invites you to come and receive the forgiveness He won for you there.

Amen.

District considers new designs for town’s wading poolsCameron Orr

As soon as 2015 there may be some signifi-cant retrofits to the Heron Street wading pool, followed by upgrades to the Chilko Street pool in 2016.

That comes as councillors voted to refer such work to those budgets at their March 10 Committee of the Whole.

The recommendation came from staff fol-lowing a presentation from the Leisure Services Department about the existing parks.

It’s proposed that the Heron Street park will be modified to make the pool more accessible to people with mobility issues. As well concept art showed a proposed raised ‘river’ in the middle, where toddler aged children can play in shal-lower water.

However the most dramatic change would be to Chilko Street’s water park, which is being eyed to be converted into a spray park.

The options for the park came after town staff looked to public feedback last year on how people visioned the parks’ future.

Deputy Leisure Services Director Shaun O’Neill said accessibility and interactive water features were among the priorities given.

The works to the park won’t be insignificant in terms of cost. The Heron Park is estimated to cost $177,000 if done in 2015.

The Chilko Park upgrade will be more, at $397,000 estimated for 2016.

The Chilko Park, however, won’t need an attendant if the work proceeds, meaning the wa-ter service can be turned on and off each day letting the public use it at their convenience.

That would be beneficial since O’Neill said it’s hard to attract people to want to work as a wading pool attendant in the summer given the variable hours.

The pools, currently, undergo annual up-keep including patching the concrete founda-tions. If the town were to opt to simply rebuild both parks to current specifications the adminis-tration estimates that it would cost $219,000 in 2015 figures for both of them.

As far as use goes, the town just came out of a well-used year for the parks. In 2013 the parks opened at the tail end of June and ran on sunny days, Tuesdays to Sundays, until August 31. The pool was open 26 days out of the poten-tial 55 in that time frame.

In 2012, days of use were low with it only open nine days out of 21 available.

The cost of operating the wading pools was just shy of $10,000 in 2013.

The pools were reopened in 2012 after two years closed following the Eurocan Pulp and Paper Mill closure.

Above, a concept of what Chilko Street’s water park could look like if the project is approved in future budget discussions. Below, Heron Street’s park concept art.

Continued from page 5Also, the date 8056587 Canada

Inc. anticipates getting approval for and starting construction of their eight run of river projects and power transmission line is mid-2014, and being operational in 2016. This coincides with the due date of the federal government decision on and Enbridge Northern Gateway’s antic-ipated start of construction of their pipelines project.

I cannot help but wonder why 8056587 Canada Inc. warrants ano-nymity. The only conclusion I come

to is that they wanted to avoid tip-ping off the public that are opposed to the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipelines project, given all the simi-larities. It might also be that they did not want to tip off the BC govern-ment who have threatened, numer-ous times, to withhold permits and power for the Northern Gateway pipelines if the proposal does not meet their five conditions.

March 3A person called to

report their roommate missing after not see-ing him since March 1. The person had not been seen at work ei-ther in that time frame. The following day the person was reported back at home and said he was out with friends and had not wanted to come home.

March 4A bar bell was

found to have been used to break a win-dow at a business when police attended to an alarm. One television from inside the busi-ness was damaged and another taken. Officers still investigating.

March 5A young person

had to spend their in-toxicated hours in a police cell after police were called to the per-son intoxicated inside an apartment build-ing. Person released to guardian in the morn-ing along with a vio-lation ticket for being

drunk in public.An intoxicated

person had to be taken from a local church. Was taken to cells as no person could care for the individual ei-ther. Released next morning and issued a violation ticket.

March 6A person was ar-

rested for theft under $5,000 after alleg-edly taking a six-pack of beer from a liquor store. The person claimed to have been given the beer when he was found drinking one a short time after the alleged crime. He matched a description provided to officers.

March 7A snowmobile

driven through a per-son’s yard caused dam-age to a light on a dolly trailer. A police file was wanted to docu-ment the damages,

but police concluded there was insufficient evidence for a crimi-nal file but it appears the two parties will sort out the matter pri-vately.

March 8A ticket for unsafe

driving was issued to the driver of a bobcat loader which reported-ly damaged a number of vehicles at an apart-ment complex during snow clearing.

March 9A person was ar-

rested for public in-toxication. Had been arrested for mischief after allegedly break-ing window of a car but owner, who knew person, did not want to participate in charges.

Anyone with in-formation on any po-lice file should call the detachment at 250-632-7111 or call Crimestoppers to re-main anonymous at 1-800-222-8477. If information leads to arrest you may be eli-gible for a reward.

Bottle depot to take on residential papersAs Multi-Material

BC’s province-wide re-cycling program nears it’s May 19 start date, Kitimat’s bottle depot on Enterprise Avenue has been tapped to re-ceive the materials.

MMBC has been put in charge of man-aging a new recycling program across B.C. which will put the costs of recycling products from taxpayers directly to the producers and consumers of the prod-ucts.

Initially it was hoped that curbside pick-up of recycling would be done in Kiti-mat, and MMBC of-fered a contract last year to the District of Kitimat, and other communities, however Kitimat opted out due to uncertainties and lo-gistical concerns.

The second step for MMBC was to issue a request for propos-als for curbside pick-up in Kitimat, but the MMBC Managing Di-rector Allen Langdon said no one in Kitimat responded to the call.

From there MMBC said they looked into

depot partnerships and an agreement has been made with the bottle depot in the Service Centre. The depot will receive a price per ton of material collected.

This new arrange-ment doesn’t take KUTE out of the equa-tion in Kitimat, and the KUTE depot will con-tinue to take materials as well.

The key is that MMBC’s program will be accepting residential products, while KUTE will take primarily business and industrial products. For example when the new pro-gram launches on May 19, KUTE will collect newspaper, magazines, home office paper and boxboard, among a number of other prod-ucts, from industry, commercial and insti-tutions.

The current bottle depot will take the same, but only from residents.

Langdon said a public education cam-paign will launch in the near future.

He said the com-pany Green by Na-

ture, which has been contracted by MMBC

to process packaging and printed paper, will

make arrangements to pick up the material

collected locally to be brought to their own

facilities in the Lower Mainland.

ON APRIL 12, VOTE YES

“I want to bring back jobs. I’m voting YES.”

Tom Balfour, Kitimat

“Kitimat has seen a lot of ups and downs over the years, but whenever we’ve done well, it’s because of industry. We’ve always been dependent on it, and when it leaves, so do all the skilled workers. The pipeline will bring jobs. But the pipeline is just the start. We’ll start to see growth in the economy and the population. We’ll see more opportunities for our kids: job training, extracurricular activities, music programs, all kinds of good stuff. And most importantly, there will be jobs when they graduate, so they can stay here rather than move away. I want to bring back jobs to Kitimat. I’m voting yes.”

Continued from page 4It’s all hypothetical of course but April 7 will

point the way, possibly to even more divisive ac-tion by the PQ or possibly to a more realistic look at the long term costs of separation.

Back at home in northern B.C., there’s still more confusion on the west coast LNG scene.

There are virtually daily announcements and comments, positive and negative, but few suggest-ing a fast-forward stance. Among the latest, is one reporting new financial support for the smallest of the numerous Kitimat area LNG proposals, B.C. LNG, which has a partnership investment by the Haisla Nation and LNG Partners LLG of Houston Texas. The project was earlier deemed the most likely to be first to ship gas out of Kitimat, since its supplier would be the existing Pacific Northern Gas Pipeline. It planned a floating liquefaction plant.

But the project ran into some financial issues last fall. A court-sanctioned reorganization was sought for the Douglas Channel LNG project un-der the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act after it effectively ran out of money. The project’s liabilities exceeded $100 million. It originally planned to deliver its first cargo of super-cooled gas by 2015, it said in court documents.

Now, AltaGas Ltd. of Calgary, it is being re-ported, could step in to help salvage the proposed floating terminal in Kitimat as the project’s Tex-as-based owners seek to rescue the development from insolvency. Neither the Haisla Nation or Al-taGas had commented on the media story at time of writing.

Well, lookie here.

One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion.

That’s defi nitely not democracy in action.

The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to offl oad the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.

Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected offi cials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board.

That’s gotta tell you something.

Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.

What’s going on here?

Email Christy Clark at [email protected] or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC.

Cameron OrrThe Leisure Ser-

vices Department isn’t just aiming at over-hauls to the town’s wading pools. Two Kitimat playgrounds are also being target-ed for replacements, to bring the facilities in line with current standards and to save future maintenance to the aging parks.

The plan now is to address possible replacement for the Angle Street Park in 2015’s budget, and the Riverlodge play-ground will see debate in 2016.

M a n u f a c t u r e d in 1989, the Angle Street replacement may see the park en-tirely relocated from its location at the far edge of Whitesail and brought closer to more residential neighbour-hoods such as behind Bartholomew Street, making it accessible to more families.

Such a move would also provide a playground in an area of town under-serviced due to the removal of the play-ground equipment at the former Roy Wilcox Elementary School, which was moved to Nechako.

The Angle Street park is suggested for replacement first, due to the fact the struc-ture has a slight lean and so the town felt it was better to ad-dress that first than the Riverlodge park, that needs maintenance but has no immediate structure concerns.

The Leisure Ser-vices department did call in the expertise of a playground structure inspector to look at both parks, and found a number of issues in-

cluding head entrape-ments and lack of pro-tective barriers.

The final report, by Alan Kavanaugh, rec-ommended both play-

grounds be removed for replacement.

The replacement of these two play-grounds would bring all of Kitimat’s play-

grounds up to code.The last play-

ground installed was in 2013 on Smith Street.

That playground

cost $64,000.Adminis t ra t ion

estimates that, de-pending on the size, a new playground at Riverlodge would cost

at most $60,000 and the Angle Street Park would cost at the high end at $50,000.

Being that they are currently constructed

with wood, the play-grounds have at most a 20 year life span and both are at the end of their expected life cy-cle.

Holder speaks at Kitimat CABCameron Orr

The project leader of En-bridge’s Northern Gateway says the company will be watching the results of Kiti-mat’s plebiscite with interest.

Janet Holder was a key-note speaker for a Community Advisory Board meeting last Tuesday. The CABs are focus groups which gather through-out the year to discuss issues relating to Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Proposal, and spon-sored by the company.

“We’re going to be here in part and we’re very much inter-ested in what’s happening here in Kitimat. No matter what happens, we’re here to engage with the citizens of Kitimat and the area. It’s important that we understand people’s concerns,” said Holder.

Holder also spoke to the Sentinel regarding the appoint-ment of Jim Prentice to lead talks on First Nations engage-ment.

“He’s working directly with myself and John Carruthers and a couple of other individuals,” she said, noting she and Pren-tice have already met and he’s begun his work.

“He’s been on the ground. He’s got a lot to learn and un-derstand. We’ve been engaging with the First Nations for al-most 12 years now so there’s a huge history and that’s the part he’s been engaging with us on.”

Holder described engage-ment with First Nations as al-ways been “involving” and “in some cases I will admit it’s challenging,” but she points to the signing of 26 equity agree-ments with First Nations along the right of way as a number of the company’s successes on that front.

“There’s still lots of ways we can partner with First Na-tions and sometimes just fresh eyes, fresh ears, fresh dialogue can change things. What’s im-portant to us is we want to con-

tinue to engage and provide opportunities for partnerships,” she said, adding that it’s never too late to have this work take place, responding to critics that say it’s too far in the process for Prentice’s role to provide much benefit.

Joint Review Panel condi-tions on the Northern Gateway project were also discussed.

We asked how well the company understood the 209 conditions, in light of com-ments from the Douglas Chan-nel Watch group that the com-pany doesn’t understand the conditions.

Holder said they know the conditions, and that many of the conditions were promises by the company before they were made official in the JRP report.

Those conditions include slower tanker speed in the Douglas Channel and capacity building for companies along the pipeline right of way.

Shipper says Channel safe

Coast Guard commish confident in oil response

Cameron OrrIf the Exxon Val-

dez ship had been built to modern specifica-tions there likely would never have been an oil spill.

That’s what Cap-tain Stephen Brown says, who is the presi-dent of the BC Cham-ber of Shippers.

Brown is a sit-ting member of the Enbridge-sponsored Community Advisory Boards.

Brown has an add-ed layer of expertise for this area in that he sailed for 30 years in the Douglas Channel with the company that took most of Rio Tinto Alcan’s aluminium, and 80 per cent of Eu-rocan’s paper.

From his experi-

ence he said the Doug-las Channel poses no unique challenges.

“The Douglas Channel is actually a very straight forward waterway by any na-tional or international comparison. It’s very straightforward to nav-igate, its deep water, it’s well marked and the contours are very clearly visible by eye

or by radar if it hap-pens to be nightime,” he said.

He said techni-cal changes to modern tankers and anticipat-ed new tanker safety regulations means that Canada will have oil response and preven-tion capabilities which continue to improve al-ready high capabilities.

And even if the Douglas Channel sees all proposed projects materialize, Kitimat won’t compare in risk-to other ports as far as marine safety, even given the geography.

“If you...look at the busiest port on the coast of British Co-lumbia today, that’s Vancouver. Vancouver receives around 3,000 ships a year,” also not-

ing Singapore’s port which had 126,000 ships in 2013.

“That’s quite a nar-row piece of water,” he said of Singapore. “In terms of traffic density we would actually have quite a ways to go to even begin to catch up with other parts of the world.”

He added, “I un-derstand people’s concerns, I think they have to understand the Douglas Channel in the context of what is re-ally a busy waterway. And of course those questions, when they come up, need to be answered...Even if ev-ery single one of the projects were to ma-terialize, by no means could this be described as a busy waterway.”

The best way to deal with an oil spill on water is to prevent it in the first place, an assistant commis-sioner with the Canadian Coast Guard told an audi-ence in Terrace March 12.

And while Norway is regarded as having the best prevention system in the world arising from its off-shore oil industry, Canada has every chance of top-ping those standards, said Roger Girouard.

“If we want world

class, we’ll beat them at their game,” Girouard told a regular session of the community advisory board.

Enbridge has set up five such boards along its intended Northern Gate-way pipeline and marine traffic route to provide in-formation and take ques-tions about the $5.5 billion project and they meet regu-larly to hear presentations on a wide variety of topics.

Girouard’s presenta-

tion concerned a Canadian Coast Guard project last fall to remove bunker oil from an American military transport ship which sank after hitting Pitt Island on the North Coast during a bad storm in 1946.

Small amounts of oil had been leaking over the years and there had been fears the entire cargo of oil would be released if the storage tanks ever gave way.

Girouard described an

intricate operation involv-ing specialized equipment and divers to safely remove the oil from the ship resting on the bottom of the ocean.

In taking questions afterward, Girouard em-phasized establishing stan-dards and regulations for all facets of tanker traffic, including traffic manage-ment, search and rescue and navigation.

“There’s a lot of work to be done at that level of detail,” he said.

“It’s all possible. It’s all about will.”

“Whether it’s LNG or black oil, prevent the spill.”

Environmentalists and others have been highly critical of the Northern Gateway pipeline project which would ship oil in tankers from a terminal at Kitimat.

A spill, they say, would harm the ocean en-vironment, affecting fish, marine life and bird popu-lations as well as the north

coast fishing economy.The provincial govern-

ment has laid down the es-tablishment of what it calls “world-leading marine oil spill response, prevention and recovery systems” as one of five conditions that would need to be met for it to approve the Northern Gateway or any other oil export project.

The federal govern-ment has increased marine safety and oil spill response spending.

Stephen Brown

Haley Schryver proved she doesn’t back down from a challenge, no matter how chilly. She was lucky enough to be at the Hospital Beach boat ramp preparing to jump into the Douglas Channel as part of the Winter Challenge just as the Sentinel was also at the ramp photographing the Silja Festival. (Page 2) She agreed to have the paper document her plunge. As you see here from her retreat from the water, it was a bit cold.


Enbridge, Kitselas looking into geothermalAnna Killen

Kitselas First Nation, Enbridge, and a geo-thermal exploration company have signed a deal that could see a power-producing geothermal plant built in the Mount Layton hot springs area.

A first step was to pay $100,000 to the prov-ince earlier this year for the exclusive subsurface rights to 2,865 hectares of land south of Lakelse Lake, on traditional Kitselas territory.

LL Geothermal Inc., a consortium of Kitse-las, Enbridge and Borealis GeoPower can now apply for authorization to drill in the area, and if it discovers a geothermal resource and decides to proceed with a plant, it can apply to convert the permit to a lease.

A geothermal energy plant uses steam and super-heated water found deep inside the earth to spin turbines which then generate electricity.

Champions of the resource charge it as one of the most clean and reliable renewable energy sources, although the geothermal industry is still relatively small in Canada compared to other re-newables like run-of-river, wind, and solar power.

But the project, which, if approved, would be the first of its kind in Canada, is still in its infancy.

“The project, and its site, must meet a num-ber of conditions during its approval process,” reads an article in a recent issue of a Kitselas First Nation newsletter. “One important condition is whether other First Nations have an interest in the area.”

Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla, Tsimshian First Nations on the North Coast, also have claims to the area, and talks are ongoing.

According to the application filed with the provincial government, the site also overlaps an area identified by the Haisla of Kitamaat Village as being traditional territory.

The regional district of Kitimat-Stikine and the City of Terrace also want to be included in discussions surrounding exploration and develop-ment.

There had been interest in geothermal devel-opment in the Lakelse Lake area as far back as 1991 but the regional district called for a halt of any exploratory drilling plans after Mount Layton owner Bert Orleans said his water source could be threatened.

But in 2009, the province put a number of potential geothermal sites on offer, including the area near Lakelse Lake, although it wasn’t until late 2012 that it received interest in the site. The government then proceeded with a new pre-tenure

referral in May 2013.Tim Thompson, CEO of Calgary-based Bo-

realis, said the hot springs in the Mount Layton area are the hottest in Canada.

“We’ve been interested in the area since we became incorporated as a company (in 2007),” he said. “Since before that probably.”

This also isn’t the first time Enbridge has tak-en an interest in renewable energy here.

Enbridge previously had been interested in hydroelectric power possibilities in Gitxsan terri-tory north of the Hazeltons.

And it has several licences in the Terrace area, also on Kitselas traditional territory, to look at fu-ture run-of-river hydro possibilities.

For Enbridge, which owns the country’s larg-est natural gas distribution company, and which transports oil and gas through pipelines and which wishes to build the controversial Northern Gate-way pipeline, the Lakelse Lake geothermal proj-ect is consistent with its goal to double, by 2017, the $3 billion it’s already invested in renewable energy, said company public relations official Ivan Giesbrecht.

“It’s a province rich with resources, so we’re always looking for opportunities,” he said.

Kitselas representatives were invited to be a part of a local delegation who attended the open-ing of the Neal Hot Springs geothermal plant in Oregon last year. It’s partially owned by Enbridge.

“The purpose of the Oregon trip was to give these local residents an opportunity to visit an En-bridge geothermal project already in operation,” Giesbrecht said. “We’re proud of that project, and rightly so.”

But details on what a similar project here could look like are slim.

“We really are unable to talk very publicly about the projects that we are investigating, both for commercial reasons and for the privacy wishes of local partners,” Giesbrecht said.

Borealis had been working for more than five years on a proposed geothermal energy site in Fort Liard, NWT in partnership with the Acho Dene Koe First Nation.

But that project ended last May when the company could not reach an agreement with the territory’s supplier of electricity.

Fire protection study

Les loses quake post

The Kitimat Fire Department has created a Fire Protection Study that will help them plan for indus-trial growth in Kitimat.

A specialist was hired last July to create the study. It focused on four key areas:

1) Current capabilities of the Kitimat Fire and Rescue Services compared to the level of risk in the community; 2) evaluation of the cur-rent standard of response/service levels being provided by Kitimat Fire and Rescue Services; 3) assess-ment of the current levels of fire pro-tection being provided by industrial facilities within the community; and

4) comments on the future direction of Kitimat Fire and Rescue Services in regards to addressing the addition of proposed industrial facilities.

Specific comments on the risk assessment will be used to provide insight into possible response to a selected industrial structure. This study will help serve as a baseline from which industrial facilities can determine the additional levels of fire protection desired or needed for their specific risk level.

Money for the study was provid-ed by the District of Kitimat as well as a donation from TransCanada and Shell Canada.

Tom FletcherPremier Christy Clark said last

week she didn’t hear about former Chilliwack MLA John Les’ ap-pointment until it was announced, and the deal is off.

Attorney General Suzanne Anton’s announcement that Les would be paid up to $140,000 to lead an eight-month consultation on earthquake preparedness was greeted by controversy over his qualifications and other interests.

NDP critics questioned wheth-er Les’ experience as a mayor and solicitor general was relevant to the province-wide project he was to chair.

The vice-chair, former director of California’s Office of Emergen-cy Services Henry Renteria, is to be paid up to $100,000.

Clark moved quickly to blunt

the opposition attack, announc-ing at the start of question period that the contract with Les has been withdrawn.

“It was a mistake,” Clark told reporters later. “I think the essence of leadership is not just making decisions, it’s also being able to course correct when you’ve made a mistake, and that’s what she [An-ton] has done.”

Anton said she discussed the issue with Clark last Wednesday and they agreed the expenditure for Les’ services was too high.

The sudden reversal came as the appointment was being ques-tioned by Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore, who said it was inappropriate for Les to take the job while lobbying for the compa-ny that operates the Cache Creek landfill.

From left to right, Alex Dobri, Fire Captain; Dan Jerrett, Firefighter; Kiel Giddens, TransCanada Pipelines; Peter Bizarro, Deputy Fire Chief; Mary-Ellen Proctor, Shell-LNG Canada; Dave Ingram, Firefighter. TransCanada and Shell were recognized for their contributions to a fire protection study for the community.

“It’s a province rich with resources, so we’re always looking for

opportunities.”

John Runions, Kitimat

“ I want a morevibrant communityfor families. I’m voting YES.”

“I’ve lived in Kitimat for over 40 years. Over that time, I’ve seen lots of ups and downs, but I’ve never left, because I love it here.

I’m supporting the Northern Gateway pipeline because it will bring jobs and tax dollars to pay for new infrastructure. I’ve played and coached hockey in town for a lot of years. The rink we have is a beautiful facility and it was largely paid for by industry.

Northern Gateway will bring lots of new opportunities as we grow. My daughter’s away at university right now, and she wants to come back home—as long as there’s a future for her here.

I’d like to see a more vibrant community for our families.

That’s why I’m voting yes.”

They secured the place by defeating the up-to-then undefeated Seaquim team 4-2.

Coach Laurel De-goeij said they played amazingly well.

She said they

played relaxed and with con� dence under the belief they were actually going to lose but that worked in their favour in the end.

“The curling stats I kept indicated they

played three ends at 100 per cent,” she said through e-mail. “I was so proud as they curled with the skill that they had and supported each other throughout the game.”
