All cardboard to KUTE nowCameron Orr
Think twice before sending your new televi-sion’s box to the dump
Kitimat Council just passed a ban on residen-tial cardboard at the landfi ll.
That means now you’ll have to send your packaging and cereal boxes to the KUTE recycling depot on Third Avenue in the Service Centre.
The motion, brought forward by councillor Mario Feldhoff, continues a trend of programs designed to increase the life of the landfi ll.
While noting a lot of people already use KUTE for their recycling, Feldhoff added that “Sadly, not everyone does.”
“It’s time to incrementally take things up when it comes to residentially-generated card-board,” he said, noting it adds to other programs such as segregating metal, car batteries and tires at the landfi ll.
Phil Germuth supported the motion, while asking if KUTE could handle the additional card-board traffi c from the community. Mayor Joanne Monaghan said they could, and Feldhoff said that any potential issues is something to work out with KUTE as they come up.
“I’m sure we’ll hear about it if there are some challenges,” he said.
Mary Murphy was also in favour of the mo-tion but added that she’d like to look at plans in the future to make the depot more accessible and user friendly.
“It’s not user friendly where it’s located and some people don’t have the ability to go down and drop off their cardboard,” said Murphy.
KUTE President Barb Hall told the Sentinelshe does believe the depot has enough capacity for an increase in cardboard drop offs, saying that right now they send a shipment whenever they get enough to fi ll a truck.
“We just proabbly have to ship a little more often,” she said, noting that it’s hard to know how much extra cardboard this really means.
She’s happy with council’s direction on card-board, even as news of the motion came as a sur-prise to her.
“If you walk around on garbage day for par-ticular streets it’s amazing how much cardboard is in the garbage,” said Hall.
She said she hopes they ease the cardboard ban onto people and make it voluntary at fi rst, just as the town did for businesses when they banned cardboard to the landfi ll from them.
As for their location, she said they have no plans to move and their location is keeping with the town plan. Challenges with centralized drop-off locations also means that’s unlikely.
Last year KUTE shipped 206.12 tonnes of cardboard.
A good year for Kitimat tourismCameron Orr
It’s good news for Kitimat’s tourism sector, according to Kitimat Chamber of Commerce executive director Trish Par-sons.
Part of what’s fueling this year’s growth is new interest in town thanks to industrial proposals.
“Our numbers are defi nitely up this year,” said Parsons. “A good part of it is just the interest in the area because of the Enbridge pipeline.”
A number of people have come vis-iting Kitimat either because they have chosen to travel the route of the pipeline to its terminus, or people who are aware of Kitimat now through increased media exposure and decide to stop in if they’re already nearby, such as in Terrace.
Kitimat’s rise in tourist interest jives with Northern B.C. as a whole, although the numbers aren’t yet in to back up the observed growth in visitors this season.
Jillian Fisher, with Northern BC Tour-ism’s Prince Rupert offi ce, was in Kitimat last week and said that just based on what people such as hotel operators are saying, it sounds like one of the region’s busiest summers.
The Northern BC Tourism region en-compasses Haida Gwaii to east of Prince George, and Stewart and Cassiar. It is one of six tourism regions in B.C. and en-compasses over half of the province geo-graphically.
Fisher said that Northern B.C. is a “long haul” destination and that the tour-ists from out of area, notably people from
European countries such as Germany, are from areas with relatively less economic unease. As well the nature of long haul vacations means that people will typically follow through with going on their trips.
However it’s not just out of country tourists that Northern BC Tourism is af-ter.
“The biggest market for B.C. is B.C.,” she said. That’s why they have joined with many tourism operators and communi-ties to put together joint marketing cam-paigns.
So all in all, “It’s been a pretty good year for tourism,” said Fisher.
And, added Parsons, the fi shing was good in Kitimat, which is a defi nite bonus to get people to town.

It was the 30th, and fi nal, Toy Run organized by the Road Runners motorcycle club last week as riders took off from the Dairy Queen parking lot towards Terrace where gifts would be given to the Salvation Army. The club aims to hand the Toy Run to a new group for next year. More on the Toy Run on page 12.

Foundation supported
with generous giftsSubmitted
The Kitimat General Hos-pital Foundation is the happy recipient of numerous and generous contributions from community organizations and residents in 2012.
More than $23,000 has been raised in the last eight months, towards improving health care and facilities for the Kitimat General Hospital.
The Snowfl ake Com-munity Fairgrounds Society, through the 2012 Bull-O-Rama, donated $20,500, the Kitimat Kinsmen Club donat-ed $2,000 and memorial gifts and tribute gifts provided the balance.
Chairperson Corinne Scott said that the generous contributions will be used towards an additional wing for Mountainview Lodge, increasing the number of ex-tended care beds available. The Kitimat General Hospital has an ongoing wait list of se-niors requiring nursing sup-
port in extended care, and the more urgent cases are being cared for by utilizing acute care beds in the hospital. To assist the hospital and Doc-tors in freeing up acute care beds for surgical and other patients, the Hospital Foun-dation has taken on the task of fundraising for a new ex-tended care facility.
Scott is happy that resi-dents are becoming more aware that memorial gifts to the Hospital Foundation are a way of remembering a loved one, as well as tribute gifts, in the name of a friend, to cel-ebrate special occasions.
The Kitimat General Hospital Foundation was es-tablished to increase and im-prove the provision of medi-cal care through receiving, investing and administering bequests, endowments, trusts and other fi nancial invest-ments to fund items not cov-ered in the Northern Health Authorities budget.
Above, Kitimat Kinsmen Club members Sharole Bell, Christine Dielschneider, Rachel Stelmacker, Sarah Crampton, Stephen Ong, and Jason Escater hand over a cheque to hospital foundation’s Corinne Scott. Below, Scott receives a cheque on behalf of the foundation from Vickey Kokesch with the Snowfl ake Community Fairgrounds Society.

Public Notice
1. Zoning Amendment Application, R3-A Multi-Family to R1-B
One-Family, Blackberry Street, J. Oviatt Contracting Ltd.
Kitimat Council is considering an application from J. Oviatt Contracting Ltd. to amend zoning for a 3.66 ha parcel at the intersection of Lahakas Boulevard South and Quatsino Boulevard from R3-A Multi-Family to R1-B Single Family. Site was previously marketed as “The Meadows” a universally-accessible and senior-friendly strata development of duplex and triplex dwellings.

Continued from page 1Tourism is the top topic right now at the
Visitor Information Centre in Kitimat as Parsons and Rosemary Brady will be joining tourism proponents from all over the region at Northern BC Tourism’s annual general meeting in Prince George at the end of the month.
The AGM will see several guest speakers, in-cluding Pat Bell, B.C.’s minister of jobes, tourism and innovation.
More information on the AGM is available online at www.nbctagm.com.
Police are looking for information that re-lates to an Oct. 2 report of a damaged vehicle.
The vehicle was parked near the stair-well of the lower park-ing lot behind the Dairy Queen. The windshield was broken and there were several scratches and dents on the roof. Police say the damage likely took place be-tween noon and 6 p.m.
If you have infor-mation regarding this you are encouraged to call the RCMP at 250-632-7111 or call Crime Stoppers to remain anonymous at 1-800-222-8477.
Staff sergeant Steve Corp with the Kitimat RCMP detachment said there likely won’t be updates for awhile on the Fulmar Street shooting incident, as is typical for most major cases, he said, as inves-tigators continue work-ing away at the fi le.
“Hopefully at some point in the future we will have some good news...for the commu-nity,” he added.
JHW Construction received their tempo-rary industrial use per-mit (TINUP) for bor-row pit activity and for their rock quarry at the Oct. 1 council meeting.
Kitimat Understanding the Environment (KUTE) organized another annual Kitimat River Clean-Up day on a drippy Sunday afternoon.
On Sept. 30, volunteers gathered under the shelter in the playground at Radley Park to work out a game plan to tidy up the shores of the river. While in some years people took to all sections of the river, this year due to heavy rain and limited turn-out volunteers kept within Radley Park.
But it’s just as well they did, as less than an hour in some volunteers had already fi lled their fi rst garbage bag, pulling out litter, fi shing lines, and in one case a crumpled lawn chair.
Don’t worry, they warmed up with hot choco-late afterwards.

Community grant sought

Development Centre is seeking government funding to make Kiti-mat a more welcoming and diverse commu-nity.
Margaret Warcup, CDC executive direc-tor, and Trish Parsons, Kitimat Chamber of Commerce executive director, presented their plan to Kitimat Council on Oct. 1, with the request that council write a letter of support for their grant applica-tion to the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and In-novation for the Wel-coming Communities Initiative.
According to a letter to council, the funding will be for de-veloping a community action plan “for new immigrants to our com-
munity improve access to community services, support and develop in-tercultural relationships and mutual trust…”
The letter goes on to say that in smaller communities the grant can be used to provide assistance for settle-ment processes.
The Ministry has allocated $93,000 to Kitimat if an appli-cation is received on time.
At the council meeting Mario Feld-hoff wanted to ensure the plan that would be created through this grant wouldn’t involve a rewrite of the Offi -cial Community Plan, and he was assured it wouldn’t.
The CDC has lined up a number of partners for this initiative.
Council voted unanimously to sup-port the application.
IN BRIEF
4 Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, October 10, 2012
Did you know last week was the 30th anniversary of “banned books week?”
It’s been an annual event for years by the American Library Association and celebrates our “freedom to read.”
You probably didn’t know that – and I’d never heard of it before last week either.
But it intrigued me and as I read a little about it, I began to wonder how many of what they call “challenged or banned books” I’ve personally read in my lifetime, simply thinking they were “clas-sics” of a kind.
Turned out it was quite a number. And, clearly I didn’t read them (all?) because I was just I peeping about for salaciousness, because I am lead to wonder what people objected to in many of the listed books. Some of the literature I had read were books I truly cannot imagine any adult could fi nd objectionable enough to ban.
As a Brit growing up in the 40s, 50s and 60s, yes I can understand why good old D.H. Lawrence’s raw tale of “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” (which was banned in Canada until 1962) or Vladimir Nabokov’s novel “Lolita,” or Henry Miller’s “Trop-ic of Cancer” would readily fi nd some “church-type” people world wide who are a little squeamish and eager and ready to “ban” them from the local library.
Of course I did read them, didn’t we
all? Banning or complaining about a book publicly anywhere is tantamount to an open invitation for young people to get hold of it. Much easier with the internet than in my day where the Carnegie Library did not have a section called “banned books.”
Today, in 2012, we’d wonder why long time classics like “Lord of the Rings,” by J.R.R. Tolkien, J.D. Salinger’s “Catcher in the Rye,” Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mock-ingbird” or Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises,” (which was actually burned by the Nazis in Germany in big literary bonfi res) are on any list at all – or classic stories like “Animal Farm” by George Orwell.
I better understand the Nazis seeing bonfi re fl ammability in books like Hem-ingway’s, “A Farewell to Arms” but “Call of the Wild” by Jack London, was also fi re fodder -- and was banned in Italy and Yu-goslavia.
Ireland certainly didn’t seem to like a lot of books over the years. I wonder if there’s not still a long list that may yet be banned in that country. Among the banned
in Ireland books (in 1953) was John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men.” It was a very frequently-challenged book at US schools and described variously as profan-ity fi lled, vulgar, fi lthy, demeaning to women, African Americans and the developmentally challenged (scarily this last was as late as in 2007 in Kansas.) One group want-
ed it banned because of Steinbeck’s “anti-business attitudes” and his “ques-tionable patriotism.”
But most of the “frequently challenged books” were primarily opposed by parent-run library support groups trying to keep them out of the hands of school children in numerous jurisdictions all across the USA. Many, particularly in the southern states, were motivated by racism based on segre-gation policies.
Still, “For Whom the Bell Tolls” by Er-nest Hemingway was long “un-mailable” at the U.S. Post Offi ce in the 1940s and I’m not sure as to why, but it was banned in Boston, Ireland and California. In 1973 11 Turkish booksellers were dragged into court because the book was on a martial-law banned list.
Why, even J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” was burned as satanic in Alamogordo, New Mexico, as recently as 2001, with other Tolkien novels. The mov-ies were circulating well, of course.

COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERSA S S O C I A T I O N
We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canada Periodical Fund of the Department of Canadian Heritage.
The energy debateA letter in one of our sister papers, the
Nelson Star, about the Kootenay to Kitimat caravan has been stirring up all sorts of trou-ble among the online crowd.
The letter, signed Austin Byrne from Kitimat, makes the argument that, in short, the “Geezers” from the caravan (a term they gave themselves, so you know) should mind their own community and not meddle in our northern town.
I’ve unsuccessfully tried reaching Byrne to see if I could run the letter here in full but in what could be described as “same differ-ence” I’ll at least address the letter in this column.
So, at the very least, Bryne does make an interesting point — via his colourful way with words — that he doesn’t believe people who are in areas not directly affected by the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines pro-posal should get involved in campaigning against the project.
“...it is incumbent upon municipal gov-ernments far removed from the affected ar-eas of concern to stay out of others’ business. Look after your own shop before venturing out and denying economic prosperity to oth-ers,” he wrote.
The caravan isn’t the fi rst and probably not the last group to come to Kitimat from out of area, chasing after the pipeline. It’s a fair comment, I’d say, for him to suggest that if it’s not your backyard to stay out of it.
“They should have stayed home and knit or whatever they do for a past time,” he con-tinued.
Of course the other side of the coin is that the pipeline is part of the national debate. The Haisla’s elected chief councillor Ellis Ross has said to me before, while speaking about the proposed oil refi nery for the area, that Canada as a whole needs an energy policy.
A pipeline is defi nitely an answer to that national debate — whether or not it’s a cor-rect answer is up to the individual. (Well, yes, that and the Joint Review Panel.)
If the comments to Byrne’s letter on the Star’s website are to be the gauge of public opinion, he doesn’t have a whole heck of a lot of support on his points of view. But peo-ple are defi nitely talking about the issue.
If our readers here have something to add about Bryne’s letter or have a comment about the pipeline, the Sentinel always gives priority to letters to the editor for page 5, just to your right.

Seeing is not believingJohn 3:36, “Jesus
said to them, “But I say to you that you have seen me and yet you do not believe.”
For more than six months a chauffer had been driving a learned professor from one speaking engagement to another where the professor gave the same speech each night. One night on the way to one of these engagements the driver said, “I’ve heard your speech so often, I think I could give it and no one would know the differ-ence.” And so, when the banquet began it was the driver seated in the place of honour while the professor sat at the back of the hall in the chauffeur’s uniform. After the dinner the driver got up and gave the professor’s speech fl awlessly, and when he had fi nished there was
a standing ovation. The emcee then got up and said, “ladies and gen-tlemen, I notice that we still have a few minutes and since we have such a brilliant mind with us, why don’t we take some questions from the fl oor. A man got up and asked a com-plicated question, and in a fl ash of brilliance the driver said, “That question is so simple I’ll bet my driver could answer it.” And seeing his chauffer in trouble, the kind professor did just that.
There is a big dif-ference between know-ing the facts and know-ing what they mean. For example, many people know the facts about Jesus — that He died on the cross and was raised from the tomb three days later, but maybe they don’t understand what those
From the PulpitRedeemer Lutheran Church
Pastor Clint Magnus
events mean to them. You see, Jesus gave up His throne in Heaven, lived a perfect life (be-cause we can’t), and then gave that perfect life on the cross as the substitute for you and me. He took the pun-ishment we deserve for our sin and rebellion against God, and God ratifi ed His sacrifi ce by raising Him on the third day so that by simply repenting of your mis-deeds and believing in Him as your Savior, you will not perish but receive eternal life.
You may know the facts, but knowing
them won’t save you. It is when you see that He did this “For you,” so that “you” might be saved that it stops be-ing generic facts, and becomes personal. The facts are in the Bible so that you may believe in Jesus and be saved. John 20:30 says this, “Now Jesus did many other signs that are not recorded in this book; but these (facts) are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name”
Amen.
An open letter to David Black, President, Kitimat Clean:Dear Sir,
I’m also addressing this to the person who called me Tuesday Sept. 15 and who did not iden-tify themselves beyond “conducting a survey on the refi nery proposal.”
I apologize for my abrupt response. I did not know which polling fi rm you were repre-senting because you did not state such, and in fact when you inquired why I would not want to participate, I said that without knowing anything about who was calling I would never, under any circumstances, reveal any personal information.
To you who called me, I am sor-ry.
Think about going with an outside fi rm next time
READERS WRITE
Not for my rsponse but for the tight-fi sted owner/employer you work for who commis-sioned the non-editori-
al staff to make cold calls to people around British Columbia.
As I read my local on-line paper this afternoon about a poll conducted
on behalf of Mr. Black’s oil refi nery proposal for Kitimat, I realized then that I was talking with an employee rather than a professional pollster.
It must be very diffi cult to work in the media for a multi-millionaire who keeps even impartial polling in-house and still expects the public to view such ac-tion with legitimacy.
I hope you get overtime!With best wishes, and hoping
that your boss may consider using an outside recognized polling fi rm in the future, I remain,
Maureen Atkinson, Terrace

Continued from page 4I was a bit surprised to see
“Catcher int the Rye” as one of the most frequently challenged books – but less surprised to see Salman Rushdie’s “The Satanic Verses” high on the list. It was banned in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Somalia, Sudan, Bangladesh, Ma-
laysia, Quatar, Indonesia, South Africa, and India because of its criticism of Islam.
I didn’t know however that it was burned in West Yorkshire, England in 1989 and temporarily withdrawn from several bookstores on the advice of police who took threats to staff and property seri-
ously. By the way, from the list of
100 banned or challenged books on a list on the website, I’d read and mostly fi nished more than 30. I have to admit, in some cases, like James Joyce’s “Ulysses” and some others, I just didn’t get through them totally, mainly based on style
or readability reasons.I’d think everyone has tossed a
book or two away because of read-ing frustration.
Anyway, I may not be as “well read” as I thought: only 30 per cent of the whole list!

Bring on The Sojourners
Coastal GasLink Pipeline Ltd. is proposing to develop an approximately 700 kilometre provincially regulated pipeline to safely deliver natural gas from the Groundbirch area, near Dawson Creek, B.C., to the LNG Canada gas liquefaction facility proposed to be developed by Shell Canada Ltd. and its partners near Kitimat, B.C.
Coastal GasLink Pipeline Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TransCanada PipeLines Limited.
Over the coming months, Coastal GasLink will undertake extensive engineering and
environmental studies as well as engage with stakeholders and Aboriginal communities near the conceptual route to share information, gather input, and incorporate feedback to inform our project development and design.
The final pipeline route will be determined by considering Aboriginal and community input, environmental and social aspects, archaeological and cultural values, land use, public safety, constructability and economics.
The proposed Coastal GasLink pipeline will offer significant economic benefits and strengthen the economy on a local, provincial and national level:
Well-paying and high-quality jobs: pipeline construction will create jobs such as equipment operators, welders, mechanics, truck drivers, labourers and more.
Business opportunities: pipeline construction creates significant demand for food and accommodation, hardware, industrial parts, automotive parts and servicing, fuel and more.
Millions of dollars in annual taxes to local governments: when the Coastal GasLink pipeline is operational, approximately $17 million dollars in annual tax payments will help support emergency services, recreation facilities, recycling programs and other local programs vital to sustaining communities.
Investments in local communities: we invest in the areas of wellness, safety and environment in the locations where our employees live and where we operate our assets. Through our engagement with local communities we will identify areas where we can help build stronger, vibrant communities through initiatives such as job training and community partnerships.
Join us for our first Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project Community Information Session
Project representatives will be available throughout the session to answer questions and share information. Light refreshments will be provided.
Date: Monday 15 October, 2012Time: 4:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.Location:
Riverlodge Recreation Centre Activity Room 654 Columbia Avenue West Kitimat, BC, V8C 1V5

Kathleen JefferyWell folks it’s October again
and as we say hello to fall rains, colder nights and shorter days the Kitimat Concert Association starts its season to bring a little light and warmth into the long cold months ahead. Our season starts on Oct. 12 with the Sojourners, a trio of har-monious voices blending together in a soulful sound to fi ll your heart with joy.
When Canadian blues icon Jim Byrnes called Vancouver based gospel singer Marcus Mosely on the phone a few years ago to ask if he could round up a few friends to record some back up vocals for a new album, no one could have guessed what would happen next. From the moment Mosely and his pals, Will Sanders and Ron Small stepped up to the microphone and began singing, they realized that they had something very special going on. When Byrnes dubbed the trio The Sojourners the name stuck and – as they say – the rest is history.
Since that time they have put out two albums. Their fi rst was “Hold On” in 2007 and the second was simply dubbed “The Sojourn-ers” in 2009. They also have a new member, Khari McCelland who replaces Ron Small. These three men bring gospel music to a whole
new level.This is not music that strives
to be polite. In The Sojourners’ universe, echoes of doo wop, R&B, country and blues weave together to create a unique sound that has all but vanished from to-day’s world. This is gospel music that can take a punch and remain standing. Singing praise music with their own special ‘stank’, the Vancouver based Sojourners sound just as at home in a road house bar as they do in a revival tent.
Highlights of the group’s time together include a defi nitive show with the Dixie Hummingbirds, opening spots with Jim Byrnes at the Vancouver Jazz Festival for both Dr. John and the Blind Boys of Alabama and featured stages at most of the major Canadian folk and roots festivals.
When I saw them at Pa-cifi c Contact my description of their sound was that their voices reached out and gave you a big hug, and hey we could all use a hug now and then. So come join us in welcoming the Sojourners to Kitimat and let their music fi ll you with joy.
Tickets can be purchased at the door or at Hollywood Video.

After the Kitimat River water level spiked on Oct. 1 (shown above left) after a weekend of heavy rain, the water steadily declined, and the river is effectively back to normal. (Above right photo taken Oct. 3) The water had risen to just over three metres before dropping below one as of last Friday.

Many fatal fi res start at night
Smoke alarms save lives
As most Canadians turn back the clocks on November 4, here are some timely smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) safety tips:• When you change your clocks, test your smoke alarm.• You have less than three minutes to escape a fi re. So when smoke alarms sound, ev-eryone must know what to do and where to go. Having and practising an escape plan is essential.• Install one smoke alarm on every storey and outside bedrooms. Install inside bedrooms if you sleep with doors closed. • Ensure all smoke alarms are fully powered. Never take out batteries or remove an alarm from ceiling due to a false alarm.• If your home has any fuel-burning devices such as a gas furnace, gas water heater, gas appliances, or an attached garage or carport, install at least one CSA-approved carbon monoxide alarm outside all sleeping areas. One per storey is rec-ommended.
• Replace smoke alarms ev-ery 10 years, and CO alarms every 7-10 years (depending on manufacturer) whether
battery operated or hardwired into your
home’s electrical system.Carbon monox-ide is colour-less, odourless and tasteless. So without a CO
alarm, humans cannot detect its
presence. Despite the average home hav-
ing several potential sources of the deadly gas, studies show that nearly 60 per cent of Canadians have not installed a CO alarm. In ad-dition to being impossible to detect, CO also has another nefarious trait. Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure mimic the fl u, without the fever. It is routinely respon-sible for thousands of clinic and hospital visits each year, and is commonly misdiag-nosed. Prolonged or extreme exposure causes nausea, diz-ziness, confusion, the loss of physical mobility, brain dam-age and ultimately, death. More home safety resources can be found on the www.safeathome.ca web site.
Investigations into home fi re deaths very often fi nd that a smoke alarm did not sound. It may have been discon-nected or not in working order. The batteries may have been dead, or some-one may have taken them out. Smoke alone won’t necessar-ily wake you up. In fact, the fumes could put you into an even deeper sleep. Often, victims never wake up. Se-
niors will often need assistance from fam-ily members to put safety measures into place. As well, family mem-bers are in the best position to reinforce the precautions necessary to help their loved ones prevent or respond to a fi re. Focus on
these six priorities to help aging family members pro-tect themselves against fi re in the home.
■ INSTALL smoke alarms inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement.■ Larger homes may need ADDITIONAL smoke alarms to provide enough protection.■ For the best protection, INTERCONNECT all smoke alarms so when one sounds they all sound.■ An IONIZATION smoke alarm is generally more responsive to fl aming fi res and a PHOTOELECTRIC smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fi res. For the best protection, both types of alarms or combination ionization and photoelectric alarms (also known as dual sensor alarms) are recommended.■ Smoke alarms should be INSTALLED away from the kitchen to prevent false alarms. Generally, they should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a cooking appliance.■ REPLACE all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.
Only a working smoke alarm can save your life!FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OCT. 7-14
“Fall back” to smart home safety
Analysis was undertaken on almost 50,000 fi res that occurred in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario over a 5-year period involving 663 fatalities. The fi ndings demonstrated that the death rate per 1,000 fi res in the absence of a present, functioning smoke alarm was 74% greater than when a functioning smoke alarm was present.
In case of fi re - GET OUT AND STAY OUT – never go back into a burning building• Crawl low near the fl oor to the nearest exit maintaining contact with the wall.• Test the door by feeling it with the back of your hand. If it is hot, do not open. Use analternative route.• If the door and knob are cool, stay low with your shoulder against the door while opening slowly. Be ready to close the door if smoke and heat rush in.• If trapped, put as many
closed doors as possible between you and the fi re, and seal all cracks in doors and windows with towels or bedding.• If your clothing catches fi re, stop where you are, drop gently to the ground and cover your face with your hands while rolling back-and-forth to put out the fl ames.• Cool minor burns with cold water.
Planning is
key to safetyCameron Orr
If there’s one thing that will save your life in the event of a fi re, it’s being prepared.
Not just a cliched phrase, Fire Chief Trent Bossence of the Kitimat Fire Department said that he knows from experience that working smoke alarms in the home have prevented many tragedies.
Bossence emphasized the need for planning in anticipation of Fire Prevention Week, but the knowledge will hopefully carry on all year long.
This year’s theme, he said, is always have two ways out.
That means have an escape route for your home, and even for the bedroom.
“It’s one thing to have it...but if you don’t actually practice it or put it into operation you don’t know how it’s going to work,” said Bossence, emphasizing the importance of actu-ally practicing a plan.
He said there are emergency roll-up ladders people can buy for their second story windows as a possible alternate escape route.
He said it didn’t matter so much how often you practice the plan, but to do it as much as it takes to be comfortable with it.
Practicing a plan doesn’t just mean doing ev-erything as you would in a fi re — kids especially shouldn’t be practicing how to get outside from their second storey window — but kids should be made aware of the plan and be old enough to understand what to do.
Smoke alarms are an important part of pro-tecting yourelf and the fi re department will give them out to people if they come asking.
He said in addition to Fire Prevention Week, the Fire Chiefs’ Association will be doing a campaign to get people to make sure they have working smoke alarms in their homes.
“Our goal is to have every home in Kitimat have a working smoke alarm,” said Bossence. “They do save lives.”
Fire fi ghters will also be joining local schools for the Risk Watch program, starting in November. The program is done every year to teach students about fi re safety.
And this week the fi re department will be pulling a name from a box to determine who will be this year’s Fire Chief for a day. Each year one lucky elementary school student is picked to don the fi re gear and fi nd out what it’s like to fi ght fi res for a living.
Bossence said that he’s not aware of any sin-gle thing that is to blame for most home fi res but there are some common factors; being a smoker is one, and kitchens are a major source of fi res. Grease can ignite, as can small appliances like toasters. He said keeping those things unplugged is a smart idea.
“It seems kind of silly...but they short out,” he said.
And with Christmas approaching, fi re risk grows from the christmas lights on the tree, and lit candles. Wood stoves are also something to keep an eye on.
As people plug in baseboard heaters this fall as temperatures cool he also reminds people to keep things at a safe distance from them.
“We went to a couple of fi res last year due to baseboard heaters,” he said. “Luckily everyone’s alright.”
In at least one of those incidents the cause was a jacket draped over a chair that sat a little too close to the heater.

Jeffrey making impressive recovery
The Gateway pipeline route has already seen a decade of planning and testing, and thousands of hours of work, to ensure maximum safety and minimal environmental disturbance. And I’m proud to tell you that the work isn’t fi nished yet.
First of all, I want to set the record straight on recent claims that the Gateway pipeline runs through the Great Bear Rain Forest on British Columbia’s coast — they are categorically false. As it happens, our team of engineers has taken great pains to ensure that the proposed pipeline route is almost entirely made up of pre-existing corridors of activity — such as logging roads, forestry roads, cut lines, or other “pre-disturbed” areas — to reduce its footprint as much as possible.
Our engineers, and experts familiar with B.C.’s terrain, have also spent years using the most advanced technology available to identify the potential for geohazards — landslides, rock fall, avalanches, seismic issues, and marine clays. As a result, we’ve worked hard to minimize the risk, and ensure the safest pipeline route possible, with extra measures such as deeper pipe burial, tunnels, and special pipe design.
Our engineering team is constantly refi ning the Gateway pipeline route. Years ago we started with Route A, and nearly two dozen route amendments later, we’re working on Route V. Many of those changes have come, and others will come, as a result of working with environmental groups, Aboriginal communities, and government agencies.
Along the entire length of the pipeline in B.C., we’ll minimize impact to sensitive fi sh and animal habitat, reclaim the right-of-way for wildlife, and strictly control and manage access.
Safety, and respect for the environment, have been our primary considerations in charting the Gateway pipeline route over the past 10 years. And that’s not about to change.

Steven Jeffrey is shown here at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital learning to walk on his new prosthetic leg. Jeffery is making a stellar recovery after losing his leg after being hit by a car last June. He is expected to be released the middle of this month.
Submitted by Chuck Taylor
Cameron OrrSo how is Steven
Jeffrey doing these days?
Now outfi tted with a prosthetic leg, the for-mer Kitimatian, now of Fort McMurray, is well on his way to resuming his life after losing his left leg in a random ac-cident.
Steven was struck by a vehicle this past June.
The former Rio Tinto Alcan employee was paid a visit a few weeks ago by local man Chuck Taylor, who was inspired to visit Steven after hearing of the ac-cident.
Chuck actually didn’t know Steven all too well previosuly but he knew his parents well and Steven went to school with Chuck’s wife.
“We visited his whole family,” said Chuck. “He’s done re-ally, really amazing.”
Chuck has a pros-thetic leg of his own so had much encourage-ment and advice to of-fer Steven on his road to recovery.
Steven is at a facil-ity called Glenrose Re-habilitation Hospital in Edmonton for the time being but Chuck said they expect him to be discharged by Oct. 17.
In fact things are going so well for him that Chuck and Steven will both be competing in next June’s Extrem-ity Games in Texas. Chuck competes in kayaking, cycling and rock climbing, while he said Steven is unde-cided as yet.
“Everything he’s had to go through in the last month, he’s had to learn how to walk all over again, had to learn how to balance all over again,” said Chuck.
Yet it’s just a mat-ter of time for him to complete his therapies and be walking again and even riding bicy-cles, said Chuck.
“He’s a pretty strong-willed guy,” said Chuck. “He’s feel-ing really good and his family’s doing good.”
He added, “It’s a different life all of a sudden.”
Cadet hall wanted for revived program
Kitimat Council is supportive of a possible return of the Sea Cadets program in Kitimat but they want to make sure all the town’s policies are followed before they allow some re-quests from Cadets pro-ponents.
Capt. Rob Buller of the Canadian Cadets program approached council to ask them to allow a potential Sea Cadets program to use the former Sea Cadet hall on Koni-gus at a cost of $1 a year, and for the District to provide snow removal at the hall and as well to consider let-ting the cadets use the Riverlodge at reduced rates as scheduling allows.
Councillors all seemed in favour of a return of the cadets but they didn’t immediately say yes to the terms. Mario Feldhoff, who noted that he’s a former Sea Cadet from Kitimat’s branch, moved to defer the request to staff to make sure the requests are in line with the town’s
policies, to prevent possible con-fl icts.
That motion was passed unani-mously.
Buller gave a presentation to council that same meet-ing, talking about the progress he’s made in bringing the cadets back to town.
He said he has about 15 youth show-ing interest in joining
the program. And while he allowed people to voice their opinion on which cadet program to start (Sea, Air or Army) he said the response has shown people either want the Sea Cadets or they don’t care which one is established.
He said he has a lot of commu-nity support, from parents to the lo-cal legion, all who’d be happy to see the program return.
“I think it’s very much time we saw something like this again,” said Buller.

The 30th Road Runners Toy Run brought in lots of toys and cash donations for needy children this Christmas.
Seventy-six riders rode in what is the bike club’s last toy run and raised about $2,000 from the 50/50 raffl e at their destination, the Northern Motor Inn, said Stan McKay, one of the organizers.
“Everybody brought lots of toys. The kids will do really well,” said McKay, adding that no child in need will go without Christmas this year.
And it hasn’t wound down yet as donations will keep coming in for a couple more weeks, said Jim
Braid, also a longtime toy run organizer.The Salvation Army, at last count, received
$1,040 in donations from the run, and 206 toys made their way to the cause as well.
The toy run will continue as the club has some people in mind to take it over.
“We’re just looking and seeing who wants to bite at it,” said Braid, adding there will be a toy run next year.
To commemorate the event, every rider re-ceived a 30th toy run scarf with the Road Runners logo on it, said Braid.

New deputy CAO for District
Corporate Officer’s role
Warren Waycheshen is the new-est member to the District of Kitimat team, taking on the role of deputy chief administrative offi cer.
Waycheshen is settling into Kit-imat after arriving here from Gib-sons, B.C., where he was that com-munity’s chief administrative offi cer (CAO).
Waycheshen explains his role as assisting Kitimat’s chief administra-tive offi cer Ron Poole with the op-erations of the city, as Poole puts his energy into dealing with Kitimat’s construction expansion.
“With all the industries investi-gating and locating around Kitimat [Poole] needs to dedicate most of his time to working with those op-portunities,” said Waycheshen in an e-mail interview.
He also takes on the role pre-viously held by former municipal clerk Walter McLellan as the town’s Corporate Offi cer.
Waycheshen, aside from spend-ing the last year and a half in Gib-sons, was also the CAO in Macken-zie, a title he held for 15 years. (He notes he also had other roles, such as corporate offi cer and director of fi nance.)
“We always liked the Northwest area and fi rst starting coming here while living in Houston in the mid-1990s,” he said.
His time in Mackenzie also
Kitimat Council passed through approval making Warren Waycheshen the District’s new Corporate Offi cer. In short this is what a Corporate Offi cer is: (As outlined in B.C.’s Community Charter)
— Ensure accurate minutes of council meetings and commit-tees, and that council’s records of business are maintained and kept safe:
— Ensure access to records of council, as required by law or authorized by council:
— Administer oaths and take affi rmations, affi davits, and decla-rations required to be taken under the Community Charter:
— Certify copies of bylaws and other documents:
— Accept on behalf of coun-cil or the municipality notices and documents that are required or permitted to be given to, served on, fi led with or otherwise provid-ed to the council or municipality:
— Keeping the corporate seal, if any, and having it affi xed to documents are required.
saw the closure of the saw mills and pulp and paper mills. His experience with industry shut down made him a knowledgeable source when Eurocan closed their pulp and paper mill here.
“When Eurocan shut down here we had a few video and teleconfer-ence meetings with Kitimat to discuss how we worked through the down turn and were able to get the mills re-started,” he said.
He said he and his family believe Kitimat is well-poised to having a strong future.
As for the things he has enjoyed since moving here, he points to the “great trail system” and abundance of open spaces in the residential areas.
“The community has a strong balance between being a beautiful place to live with many amenities...and understanding that industry pro-vides great opportunities.”
Waycheshen’s wife and two kids will arrive in Kitimat shortly after they deal with the sale of their home in Gibsons.

A ship with history
Kitimat’s iconic Delta King is a ship with a story to tell. Even though it rested on our shores for a scant seven years, it was present for some of the most important days of our history.
The Delta King, a 285 foot (87 meter) vessel, was parked on shore at Hospital Beach for the bet-ter part of the 1950s, right through the start-up of the Alcan/Kemano project.
The Delta King arrived here on May 8, 1952 after a three week journey, under tow from San Francisco. The 30 year old veteran riverboat had been stripped of its paddlewheel and steam en-gine. After purchase by Kitimat Contractors, it was modifi ed for maximum accommodation. Al-though it was built for 400, it never housed more than 250 souls. The ship’s boiler and generator supplied heat and power to the ship. At the time of the ship’s arrival in 1952, the Kitimat project was well into year two of construction
The ship was fl oated in at high tide, into a man-made trench, and as the tide receded, it was cut off from the sea with rock and gravel. It re-mained land-locked for its entire service in Kiti-mat.
Its location was prime, at the centre of action where a whole new community grew up. Close to the airplane ramp, lumbering amphibious Grum-man-Goose transports like, Pacifi c Western Air-way’s Kitimat Prince would deliver more workers and also, close by at the dock, passengers would disembark from ships like the Princess Norah. The hospital, Smeltersite School, the Post Offi ce, the bank, the Hudson Bay Store and more, were all within walking distance.
More than 10,000 people worked on the Alcan Project. At any one time, the valley’s three other camps, had to house 5,000 workers. The Delta King only got a small percentage of the lodgers.
Life aboard the Delta King with its grand staircase, wood carving, and classy appearance must have been a step up from other dormitory situations. In one of its 1956 editions, National Geographic Magazine featured Kitimat and in-cluded a picture of a bachelor’s cabin life on the Delta King. Unfortunately, summers at Hospital Beach could be deadly with their wicked doses of horsefl ies. The channel views from the many bal-conies were certainly a bonus though. By 1959,
Kitimat was largely complete, and there was no longer a role for the Delta King, so it was no surprise when Alcan sold the old ship and it was towed back down the channel. Many people were nostalgic with its departure on that dreary April morning. It certainly was a boat that left its mark on our corner of the northwest.
Interestingly, at 90, the Delta King lives on. It is currently parked on the riverfront in Sacramen-to, California. After recent renovations, it houses a theatre, two restaurants, and a hotel.
The old ship has lived a colourful life. It and its sister ship the Delta Queen were built at the Clyde shipyards in Glasgow in 1922 then shipped to San Francisco, where their pieces were weld-ed into place. In the course of nine decades, the Delta King saw service on the Sacramento River in California and the Hudson River in New York. During WWII, it was requisitioned by the navy for troop transport around the Bay area. The boat endured a sinking on April 3, 1981. Fortunately, most of the bow end carving and original wood-work, survived without damage. The Delta King was also featured in the movies; in the 1960 fi lm-ing of Huck Finn. In 1978 our ship the Delta King was added to the U.S.A.’s list of Historic Places.
The Delta King remains special in the memo-ries of many Kitimat pioneers. Its name lives on in Kitimat’s assisted living facility, the Delta King Place. Some residents of that facility have fond memories of our iconic paddle-wheeler
Far above, a photo from the Kitimat Museum shows people enjoying Alcan beach with the Delta King seen in the background. Above, a photo of the Delta King taken by Ron Whyte.

It’s more than a pipeline.
Tankers will reduce speeds in the channels…Tankers travel slowly, but to make sure that marine species and their habitats are respected, tankers will be required to reduce speed as they pass through certain sections of the channels. Even their escort tugboats will have quieter engines to reduce underwater noise.
Additional radar and navigational aids will improve safety for all vessels…For increased safety and sure guidance, additional radar systems and navigational
aids, such as beacons, buoys and lights, will be installed throughout the routes. This will not
only improve safety for tankers, but for all marine traffi c on the north coast.
Discover more about our rigorous marine safety plan and join the conversation at marine.northerngateway.ca.
Although tankers have been safely navigating the north coast and its channels for decades, marine safety remains a top priority for British Columbians. We have been planning the Northern Gateway Project for over a decade, with a particular focus on protecting the environment. We have added specifi c safety requirements to our marine operations plan to help
make the waters of the north coast safer not just for tankers serving the project, but for all marine vessels.
Qualifi ed BC Coast Pilots will board and guide all tankers… To prevent spills, all tankers
serving the project will be modern and double-hulled, and will be vetted
by independent, third party agencies before entering Canadian waters.
Once strict safety and environmental standards
are met, they will be guided through the Douglas and Principe Channels by qualifi ed BC Coast Pilots.
Powerful tugboats will escort tankers…Tugboats have been shown to signifi cantly reduce tanker incidents worldwide. Powerful tugboats that have
been specially commissioned for Northern Gateway will assist in the
safe arrival and departure of tankers. All tankers will be attended by a close escort tug. In the channels, laden tankers will have two tugs–one tethered at all times. These tugboats will
have emergency response equipment on board and will be capable of assisting any marine vessel.
It’s a path to delivering energy safely.

Demons take win and a loss at CupSubmitted
The Kitimat Ice Demons wound up their two pre-season games at the Northern Challenge Cup tourna-ment, this year hosted by Terrace River Kings, with a win and a loss, while the Smithers Steelheads stayed on their winning roll tak-ing the Challenge Cup with a third period bar-rage of goal production to dump Terrace, 7-2.
For the rebuild-ing, Kitimat Ice De-mons’ Friday opening game saw them lose a squeaker, 6-5 to Ter-race, but come back in the consolation fi nal to beat the Prince Rupert Rampage 7-5.
With their 11-1 win over Prince Rupert on Friday, the Steel-heads, last year’s CIHL champions and Coy Cup winners, found Terrace a stubborn fi -nal opponent Saturday. The two teams went into the third period battling hard in a 2-2 tie, but Smithers put on the pressure and Terrace took a couple of bad penalties as the Steelheads surged to the 7-2 win with fi ve unanswered goals.
The Demons fi eld-ed new goaltenders in both games, with young Tyson Craven earning the win Satur-day night, while Dan Pellen took the loss Fri-day. For both players it was their fi rst exposure to CIHL level hockey.
On Saturday the Ice Demons and Ter-race battled without scoring in the fi rst pe-riod, with both goal-tenders making some good saves but Terrace broke through the de-fense early and often in the second scoring four times in the fi rst two minutes. The Demons got two back before the end of the second pe-riod, from Steve Ven-man (Dave Venman) and then Dave Ven-
man unassisted. In the third, Demons pressed hard to tie the game on goals by Derek DeL-isser (Dave Venman, Brandon Wakita) and a second goal by Steve Venman (Dan Jerrett, Nick Markowski) but two more goals by Ter-race left Kitimat with six minutes to get even, but they could only manage one, by Bran-don Wakita (Jon Aiken, Adam Buick) with a minute left in the game. Terrace had goals from Rajan Sangha (2), Steve Cullis, Dawson LeBlond, Joey Corma-no and Calen Findlay with the eventual game winning goal.
On Saturday, Ty-son Craven let in two early goals by Ram-page’s Devin Palmer
and Gregg Sheppard as Demons got off to a shaky start, and the Rampage went to the fi rst intermission with a lead as Jared Meers grabbed a defensive turnover and went in alone to bury a puck behind Craven.
But the Ice De-mons stiffened both the offence and defence in the second period with unanswered goals
by David Venman (Ian Coleman), as the two got in alone on Ru-pert goaltender. Blake Buckham and Brandon Wakita scored a great breakaway goal, as-sisted by Wade Nich-olson.
The Rampage tied the game at 4-4 in the fi rst minute of the third period on a goal by
Thomas Robinson, but later third period goals by Nick Markowski (Scott McGregor, Jon Aiken) and a pair of scores by Ian Cole-man, with two assists to Derek Wakita and one to Brandon Waki-ta, put the game out of reach, although Rupert got a fi fth goal with seven minutes left, by Bryan Tates.
In the Challenge Cup fi nal, Smithers took an early lead on a goal by Ryan Green (Lane Perry, Darryl Young) but that was answered on the pow-er-play by Terrace’s Colby Ames (Rajan Sangha) but with just seven seconds left in the fi rst period, Terrace lost focus and saw Dar-ryl Young beat Darren
Beaulieau, assisted by Devon Booth. Terrace had the only goal of a bumpy second period to tie the game at 2-2 on a score by Derek Ju-rista (Corbin Legros).
The Steelheads showed they haven’t lost a beat since last season, and only 15 players on Sunday gave Terrace an op-portunity to take the
game, but a horse per-formance by defense-man Jody Pederson was the big difference, in a hard hitting game that augurs well for the season opener.
