First Canada ends airport bus service

Cameron Orr As of June 16, First Canada no longer offers a bus service to the Kitimat-Terrace Airport. The company had to permanently park the operation after a trend of low ridership and increasing costs. Cheryl Ward, division assistant for First Canada in Vernon, said that a number of costs made the operation too challenging to run. That includes wages and fuel costs. “We just couldn’t make it work for us.” she said. The company also received no additional financial support for the service, despite beliefs. “We weren’t subsidized in any way. I know a lot of people thought that we were but we had the full brunt of this.” The company had tried using a smaller, 18 passenger vehicle compared to their usual 48 person bus, but even that didn’t prove to improve the economics of the trip. “We averaged two riders per turnaround trip,” said Ward. Ridership had never been high for the service, she said. The bus ran three times a day during the week and twice on Saturday to match with Air Canada Jazz’s flight schedule. Ward also said that their bus service had to undergo heavier security in the years following the September 11 terrorist attacks which affected their wage costs. Continued on page 3
Conservation office response to bear attack Cameron Orr The Conservation Officer Service is suggesting that the June 6th bear attack on a dog in Cablecar could have been avoided. The COS issued a statement following reports last week that a dog was killed by a black bear in the Cablecar area (Sentinel, June 13, 2012). “The interview with the complainant revealed that their reaction might have triggered a predator-prey response by the bear. The bear pursued the horses and dog when they started to run away,” the statement, released by conservation officer Dale Kluivers, said. “Had the women taken the necessary precautions ... the bear might have simply
turned and disappeared,” the release continued. COS did three searches for the dog
“Had the women taken the necessary precautions ... the bear might have simply turned and disappeared.” and bear but officers could find neither. They did identify that there were several bears in the area, but that meant the chance of catching an innocent bear was high so they decided to remove their trap
last Friday (June 8). The COS advised the public that when encountering a bear to remain calm, make yourself seem as big as possible, stay together in a group, and face the bear while walking away slowly. “Never look a bear straight in the eyes as the bear can interpret this as a sign of aggression,” the COS said. “Of course in this incident the individuals involved were on horseback and could not have backed away easily,” the COS said. When travelling with a dog, it is advised to keep your pet on a leash, as incidents in the past have involved offleash pets being chased by bears straight back to their owners.
Bear cheat sheet Here are the tips the Conservation Officer Service recommends for encountering a bear: 1) NOBODY PANIC! Remaining calm is the first thing the COS said about encountering a bear. 2) BULK UP. Look as big as possible, and stay in a group. 3) BACK IT UP. Face the bear while slowly walking away, and don’t look it in the eyes.

Health group meets with MLA A special meeting of the Kitimat Health Advocacy Group (KHAG) had members meeting with area MLA Robin Austin to air their concerns about health services. “What we wanted to do is talk to Robin about our local future as it related to provincial support,� said KHAG chairperson Rob Goffinet. At centre was a long simmering issue of acute care beds in Kitimat General Hospital being used for multi-level care purposes. Goffinet said that the use of acute care beds for non-acute purposes is not a crisis, “but you can see it’s overloading.� The health care system is seeing stresses locally, he said, from a larger demographic of people living in Kitimat for
Robin Austin retirement rather than moving away. “Other places down south have been dealing with this for years. Kitimat is now entering that shockwave,� he said. Austin recognized the concerns regarding the beds at the hospital. “The biggest [concern]...
said more housing facilities need to be built as well. “If [retirees are] staying that means we’ve got to change our perspective as to what we deliver in terms of health care and having adequate seniors facilities is the number one priority.�

[was] around not having sufficient assisted living and long-term care beds,� he told the Sentinel about the meeting with KHAG. “That means seniors are kept in acute care beds way longer than is necessary and clogs up the whole system.� Calling it a waste of resources, he said he continues to lobby ministry officials to have more resources put into the northwest — both in Kitimat and Terrace. He said recent decisions such as the announcement of a new hospital in Burns Lake is still good news here because it means capital projects move up the list. If land permits, he said he’d like to see Kitimat’s multi-level care facility expanded but also

Environmental concerns top town hall
Mayor Joanne Monaghan said a recent meeting between the District and two people from Vancouver’s Chinese consulate office and three from the Chinese embassy in Ottawa was positive in promoting investment for Kitimat. The representatives were in town to research the community and find out if it is suitable for investors from their country, including learning about town policies and available infrastructure. Monaghan said rail access was one of the key points being looked into, as well as land availability. “I think they’ll be back in about two weeks with some people who want to invest,” said Monaghan. The city, she added, spent some time with an Ottawa-based Chinese journalist who was researching the community, a sign of intense interest for Kitimat.

KITIMAT UNDERSTANDING THE ENVIRONMENT
Continued from page 1 That’s because they used to transport mail to the airport but new screening requirements made that more challenging. They no longer ship the mail by bus to the airport. The news was a bitter pill to swallow for longserving First Canada driver Cecil Brown (Ceese as he likes to be called.) Since 1986, Brown has driven for the company, mainly with the airport run on Mondays to Fridays, with some charter services thrown in the mix. He thinks that, over the course of his career, he’s met everyone in Kitimat, and will miss the interaction with the airport crowd when the service ends. He’s aware that ridership is low, but also knows that with the construction boom in Kitimat that demand is sure to rise. Since work at the Rio Tinto Alcan smelter began, for instance, he’s seen numerous contractors and managers transit from the airport to town. Passengers have frequently complained about the service ending since the announcement, he said. Brown is equally sad to see the service go. He said in the winter it’s particularly an excellent service to have. He remembers driving the smaller shuttles to the airport and aside from the fact they weren’t any more economical, he said they were far less safe than the larger bus in use now. Brown will be starting on city-based transit after the last airport drive. Meanwhile the Kitimat-Terrace Northwest Regional Airport will be doing whatever they can to see the service revived. Carman Hendry, airport manager, said that the airport society will be mailing a letter to First Canada advising that demand is likely to pick up soon. “They might want to re-look at this in the near future,” said Hendry. “There are changes happening in the region.” He realizes the airport can’t have say over a private enterprise and knows the ridership numbers have been low but the airport itself is seeing the benefit of regional economic activity. Passenger numbers are very high at the moment. “The passenger numbers are going up so we’re hoping that’s a sign that everybody will be picking up their numbers.”
Foreign investors eyeing Kitimat
College and university funding topped the answers with 53 of the 176 who voted in that question, or just over 30 per cent. Close behind was boosting pensions for seniors at 46 votes or 26.14 per cent. From question two about what will have most impact on the Northwest, only 27 out of 216 voted for keeping old age pension at 65.

Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen hosted a riding-wide telephone town hall meeting last week and he said the turnout was good. The environment topped out as the biggest issue for callers, out of the almost 8,500 participants, said Cullen. “Over 52 per cent of people responding to this question told us that environmental assessment changes worry them the most,” he said. Constituents were contacted by phone and asked to participate and 93 per cent of people called stayed on the line. A poll taken during the call had 82 per cent of 448 callers saying they disagree with the Conservatives including so much in their omnibus budget bill. (The question asked was ‘Do you agree or disagree with putting so many significant changes into one bill?’, and 368, or 82.14 per cent, disagreed.) In the days following, members of parliament began marathon voting regarding that budget bill. Cullen said that after 22 hours of voting, the bill passing isn’t being seen as a defeat by him. “We are looking to 2015 and we’ll continue to hold this government to account until then,” said Cullen in a release. The bill now has to pass through senate and is expected to be adopted ahead of parliament’s summer recess. There were 157 individual votes covering 844 amendments in the budget bill, which affected environmental reviews, EI, and other subjects. The town hall telephone conference polled listeners on three questions over the course of the discussion. The third question asked was where people thought the federal government should spend money.

Looking rosy As readers left their comments and reactions on the Northern Sentinel’s Facebook page regarding the end of First Canada’s bus service to the airport, one comment, which since seems to have since vanished, remarked that it’s “another negative” for Kitimat. Now, it’s hard to argue against that. Losing any service in a community is a negative. Yet it made me wonder what the perception is in Kitimat right now about how we’re doing. There was, after all, that mailer that everyone received from an anonymous writer, suggesting that not all work that was possible was being provided to locals regarding local construction projects. Clearly that means there is at least one person who doesn’t think it’s all sunshine and lollipops. Yet on the other hand I had a chance not that long ago to speak with a nice gentleman who works for the New York bureau of a Japanese news organization. He was in town working on a story about the investments being directed to Kitimat. One question asked to me, of which I didn’t have a good answer being fairly new to town, was, in so many words, how people in Kitimat were reacting to all the new international attention being drawn to it as it develops into a major gateway to Asia. My initial thought was I don’t know if people really did understand that. I know I didn’t fully appreciate that fact until this reporter pointed it out to me. But certainly things are happening. It’s just a little early to see a lot of benefit to our day to day lives. There are the plans for a hotel in the mall, town council just approved a few permits for new or re-opening businesses, there’s the major Canadian coffee chain that’s on its way (You know what I’m referring to), and the major housing projects by Oviatt Contracting in Strawberry Meadows and the Mills at Minette Bay. The realities of the modern world may have conspired to make the airport bus service no longer as feasible as it once was — at least for now — however I’m not ready to give up my view on this town through these rose coloured glasses. The only other thing this town really needs right now is a big sign at the aluminum snowflake that reads “Please excuse us while we grow to serve you.” We may be changing, but I think we’re open for business.

A tough pill to swallow The province’s highest voice on all things medical, Dr. Perry Kendall, made a pretty bold statement earlier this week when he claimed that MDMA should be legalized in order to be regulated. MDMA, as in ecstasy. MDMA as in the drug that claimed the lives of numerous young people over the last year in this province. But we have to wonder what the point would be in regulating MDMA at all. This isn’t a pain killer. It doesn’t have positive qualities that make it useful in pharmacology, health care or even psychiatry. Does it? The obvious problem is that street level ecstasy can’t be trusted. When it’s cooked up in a clandestine, unregulated lab, the chemicals can vary from tab to tab, batch to batch. We’ve seen, and reported on, the dangers of the drug in the past. It’s no secret that it is the gangs who thrive on the sale of illegal drugs. But don’t forget that regulated, legal drugs cre-
Guest Column ated with a therapeutic intent are stolen and re-sold every single day. Drugs like Ritalin, Xanax, and of course, oxycodone are consistently sold on the black market, the latter commanding up to $35 a pill. Ecstasy is a popular rave drug, making it a ‘hit’ with party-going teens. So what would regulating the drug do? Could a teen walk into a drugstore and buy ecstasy before heading out to party, in Kendall’s theory of regulation? Probably not. But adults would, one would assume. And kids would still get their hands on it, somehow. One could argue that the same has
been true for alcohol for decades. But hey, nothing bad ever came from a teenaged drinking binge, right? Wrong. Vital Stats reports that total deaths directly related to alcohol in Canada in 2000 was well over 300. That includes over intoxication, alcohol poisoning, and numerous diseases directly linked to alcoholism, such as alcoholic liver disease and chronic pancreatitis. When you factor in the deaths indirectly related to alcohol, that number jumps to 1,689. That doesn’t even include alcohol related car accidents. We’re not pushing a return to prohibition — that certainly didn’t work. But it’s laughable to suggest that regulating a drug will make the world a safer place for our children. After all, look in the right places and you can still find moonshine. -Agassiz Harrison Observer

Kitimat beat on buildings Dear sir, Oh no you say. “Her again.” Well yes, but I only write when something needs saying. Everyone receives The Northern Connector, but not everyone receives the Northern Sentinel. However, I have to comment. The article on page four of the Connector, regarding Prince Rupert removing ‘Another Unsightly Residence’, was in the June 1 issue. This is the second time Prince Rupert had the ‘you know whats’ to take down an unsightly premise. It was only a year or so ago they did this as well. Now I have been told that “unsightly is only a person’s opin-

Council asked to reconsider Dear sir, An open letter to council: It has been deemed by some, although not all, that the LNG proposals for pipelines and port facilities do not present the same environmental risks as does an oil port. In light of recent developments, can you not be satisfied with the money from the LNG projects? Must you continue to consider supporting all the risks involved with an oil port? Is simple greed clouding your
vision and causing you to represent the interests of Big Oil instead of the interests of the citizens of Kitimat? My question to you as the Mayor and Council of Kitimat, when is enough enough? Is there no limit to the degradation to the environment that you would accept, as long as it brings in money? Please seriously reconsider the stance that council has taken with regard to the Enbridge proposal. Margaret Ouwehand

Well, I’m sure I’m not the only one who has seen many unsightly premises in this community. Also noted by visitors to the area, and council continues to hide behind policies, bylaws and lawyers. Can none of you stand up and take some responsibility to have these eyesores removed? Take a drive around town and you will know where these areas are. If you don’t see them you don’t have your eyes open. If council doesn’t want to go for a drive I’d be happy to send them a list of this community’s eyesores.
These places are not heritage sites, they are garbage sites.
Prince Rupert’s administration can draft a bylaw that helps the building inspector and fire chief identify unsightly and unsafe premises. Perhaps Kitimat could consult with Prince Rupert’s planner when he is home in Kitimat on a weekend. One good comment — the gardens around town are looking nice and good to see the fountain up and running again. (And it’s not even close to election time!) Keep smiling, I’m watching and listening.

Kitimat Public Library director Virginia Charron is hopeful the federal government will back away from its plan to shelve funding for the Community Access Program (CAP). In April it was announced that B.C. would lose out on $515,000 from CAP, a program which provides computer and Internet access to library patrons. Kitimat’s library received approximately $5,000-to-$6,000 from the program, money which went towards maintenance of its hardware and software, said Charron. However it’s not entirely the grim news it may appear. The equipment the Kitimat library has
is in excellent condition, better than some other library facilities, said Charron.
All about Canada
“We should be absolutely fine for 18 months,� she said. She noted there has been large public outcry over the budget move and that they are crossing their fingers that it will be overturned. She also said the Friends of the Kitimat Library group can be a source of funding if needed. The cut to CAP sparked a response from the BC Library Association. They issued a release in late April urging the federal government to re-look at their decision “in order to ensure that all Canadians continue to have critical access to the current technology infrastructure in their communities.�
“We should be absolutely fine for 18 months.� “We are a CAP site,� she said on why their equipment is currently in good shape. Some of their computer equipment has come through under other programs, she added. As well, this year’s CAP funding has come through, meaning Kitimat won’t actually be hit financially until next year.
Canada Day celebrations are quickly approaching, with only 11 more days until the festivities. The Kinsmen Club of Kitimat continue to sponsor the parade, with this year’s theme of ‘Canadian Spirit’. People have until June 24 to submit their application to be in the parade. The Kiwanis will hold their pancake breakfast that day at 7 a.m., and the Riverlodge will be the main source of entertainment throughout the day with live music and a food and craft fair. Detailed information can be found at the Festivals Kitimat office at the lower City Centre Mall main entrance.

Our commitment to jobs remains. You’ve heard it before. And we stand by it. Rio Tinto Alcan in BC is committed to employing about 1,000 people once the new modernized smelter is complete. With an aging workforce and retirements happening at an increasing rate, we’ll get to that number through attrition and may even need to hire. That’s what the Kitimat Modernization Project is all about. We are committed to securing the aluminium industry - and jobs in northern BC for decades to come.

Mount Elizabeth Secondary Student Council Prime Minister Nathan Closter presents a $400 cheque to Kitimat Arts For Youth member Nancyjane Harness. The money was fundraised at the group’s annual Wakeathon and it was decided that half of the proceeds would go to KAFY in memory of Betty Harbord and the other half would go to the Kitimat Humane Society in memory of Shelley Jackson and Lea Fois. All three MESS staff members passed away in 2011 and Student Council wanted to honour their memories. Photo submitted

HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration with its community partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment, and support services to British Columbians.

Spring proves eternal for Centennial Park It’s been over a decade since water last flowed through the fountainhead at Centennial Park. Electrical issues and water leakage forced the town at the time to close it down. Since then the park had seen a slow deterioration as its sidewalks, fountain pool and iconic wall gave way to time. This point of interest to Kitimat was almost relegated as just a relic of a past era. However, a new direction is being taken as the park and fountain are in the midst of a major renovation. It’s year two of a three year plan to revitalize Centennial Park, and perhaps the most visual change has already happened. The water again flows from the fountain. Yet it almost wasn’t to be. When the town’s Leisure Services department first broached the issue with council ahead of the 2011 budget, the recommendation was to turn the pool into a flower bed and take down the wall entirely — being so old, the wall was thought to be a safety hazard. That plan was nearly enacted before community groups, notably the Kitimat Heritage Group, the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club, along with some private individuals approached council and urged them to take another look. Council did and the result was a the multi-year plan in work
putting in paver stones, said Gould. Next year will be all about the green space. The flower beds will be improved and the trees will be, ehm, spruced up. “There are some trees in there that are very old,” said Gould, noting that some have been there since the park opened in 1971 and “they’re looking old.” From Gould’s vantage point in his office above the City Centre Mall, he said since the fountain’s been turned on there have been noticeably more visitors to the park, from individuals to families with their children. Louise Avery, member of the Kitimat Heritage Group and curator of the museum, is happy to see the park being rejuvenated. “It’s very lovely to have it going because it’s a downtown feature for Kitimat; it’s been and always will be,” she said.
Notice of Closure Sentinel, May 5, 1971
today today. Leisure Services Director Martin Gould said the fountain job isn’t quite done but is very close. All that’s remaining now is to in-
water level sensen stall a water-level sor so the pool will automatically refill when it gets low enough, and they need to install a sensor on the fountain itself so that if water
does get too low the fountain will shut itself down to protect its machinery. This year the city will also be fixing the park’s sidewalks by
Please be advised that due to the increased construction traffic on the Rio Tinto Alcan highway (Smeltersite Road) the following locations will be closed to recreational activities until further notice: Hospital Beach Hospital Beach boat ramp Moore Creek Falls and all other areas of recreational activity along Smeltersite Road.
