Life jacket saves man on the Kitimat Kitimat Search & Rescue emphasize planning
The community in Kitamaat Village gathered at the soccer fields on June 8 in celebration of World Oceans Day. World Oceans Day is organized under The Ocean Project, a network of conservation organizations of which the Haisla Nation Council is a member. This year’s theme was Youth: the next wave for change. In the Village activities included a community barbecue and a beach cleaning competition. Photo submitted
Cameron Orr Kitimat Search and Rescue found a 51-yearold male on the Kitimat River after it was reported to them that the peson had gone missing early on June 20. The man was seen leaving by a canoe from the orange bridge over the Kitimat River on Tuesday afternoon. Four teams, a helicopter team, two river teams assisted by Kitimat Hatchery employees and the Terrace Swift Water Rescue Team, were called to assist. The helicopter found the man at around 4:45 a.m. the same morning on the Kitimat River just north of the air park. Search and Rescue (SAR) report that the man’s canoe had hit debris in the river and capsized on Tuesday. The man was submerged and hung up on a branch before freeing himself and making his way to shore where he spent the night. The man credits his life jacket for saving his life, he told SAR. He was taken to Kitimat General for treatment of some injuries and kept for observation. Continued on page 2
Farmer’s market coming to town At just over 180 days old, the Kitimat Food Share program is setting their sights on establishing a farmer’s market and community garden in Kitimat. Liz MacDonald presented their plan for stage two of the food share program while talking of the program’s success since it began last November. They’ve shared over 47,705 lbs of food, she said, and have fed close to 14,000 people from Kitimat and Kitamaat Village. Kitimat council has directed administration to accommodate plans for a farmer’s market at Mountainview Square’s parking lot, as well to come back to council on a report regarding the plans for a community garden in the same complex. MacDonald said that they already have approximately 25 vendors interested in selling in a Kitimat market.
“We’re hoping to have a public market every second Sunday in Kitimat and our goal, in the long run, is to have Mountainview Square become a public market place.” MacDonald envisioned a place where families could come and eat meals at picnic tables. “Kitimat needs a bright space, a sort of a picnic place in the downtown area, and in front of the mall is not going to be that.” The enclosed area of Mountainview Square is easy and central, she said, and will allow participation from mental health patients and multilevel care residents. Talk is also ongoing to have Kildala Elementary School participate in some fashion as well. The proposal was universally well received by councillors at last week’s meeting. Mary Murphy told MacDonald that she hopes it happens because there are a lot of older people in Kitimat who cannot look after their own gardens.
Mountainview Square is the spot of a planned farmer’s market as well as a community garden which will be operated under the banner of the Kitimat Food Share program.

From page 1 Kitimat SAR is thankful to Terrace’s Swift Water Team, the Kitimat Hatchery employees who helped out, and to Quantum Helicopters. SAR has provided a checklist of ways to be safe on the river in light of this incident: 1) Provide a pretrip plan with someone dependable, which indicates where you are going and when you should expect to return. 2) Only travel in waters you are familiar with. 3) Always wear a personal floatation device. 4) Be prepared for the unexpected.

la School Playground Committee. “I’m doing it for the future students that are going to come,” said Reschke after handing over the cheque. From her perspective as a Kildala student, she said the quality of the playground has gone down over the years as equipment has been taken away due to safety concerns. “It used to be lots of fun,” she said. Robinson said that fundraising for new playground equipment has only just begun and will be done in three phases, with the final price tag estimated at approximately $150,000 over those three phases.

Cameron Orr A grade 5 Kildala Elementary student’s story about bravery has gotten the ball rolling on fundraising for a new school playground. Rosie Reschke wrote her story, Bravery Counts, in 2010, as part of a Kitimat Literacy Society-sponsored short story competition, together with the National Literacy Society. It’s a tale of a new girl to school overcoming her nerves. Reschke was picked as the local winner — she didn’t win the national competition — and the Northern Sentinel ran the story at that time. Riding the wave of success, Reschke set to work to have it illustrated and teamed up with her good friend Grace Lauren Hall. Hall provided the artistic style of the book and the pair had it published as a whole package. The book sold “really fast” at Book Masters, said Reschke, and they expanded circulation into other stores, including ones in Terrace. Sadly, Hall passed away in the spring, but not before seeing the story and her art arrive in paperback form. Now Reschke is presenting the fruit of their work to Kildala Elementary. Last week she presented a cheque worth $450 to Kim Robinson, chairperson of the Kilda-

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.
Educate: Test: Share:
Educate yourself, your family and your friends about HIV. Visit HIV101.ca today. The only way to know you are not positive is by getting tested. Request an HIV test today. Please share your new knowledge about HIV with others, and please encourage everyone to get an HIV test.

Oliver Twist wouldn’t have asked for more It might not have been the focus for the Kitimat Health Advocacy Group’s recent meeting with our MLA but certainly it’s an issue that has crêped up at various times in the past. I’m sorry, creeped up. I must be hungry. What I’m talking about is the food that is served to patients at the Kitimat General Hospital. While spending five days in the hospital in April I was introduced to this issue first hand as I somewhat reluctantly ate my wife’s food for her while she enjoyed a steady stream of ‘outside snacks.’ The quality of food was troubling for me mainly because the level of nutrition for my wife directly correlated to the level of nutrition being given to our new child. Clearly it wasn’t the best situation. I think the highlight of the entire stay was the second-to-last morning there when breakfast arrived. There was a piece of toast on the side, a bowl of defrosted fruit, and the covered container which undoubtedly held the main course. I lifted the lid first, and good thing I did as it gave me a chance to brace my wife for the treat she would be getting. The plate was, no lie, four or five pieces of bacon. As a man, bacon does indeed have a role in my life. But for a patient recovering in hospital, a slab of bacon just can’t provide the right balance of nutrients and protein. The critics are definitely right; our hospital does have a fine kitchen but it’s sad that it’s getting no use beyond that of a re-heating station. For those confined to a room without the ability to order in, the food here will definitely provide no comfort. Cameron Orr P.S. Hey, speaking of babies I have decided to just take the plunge and give myself some dedicated time at home. Starting this week I’m off for eight weeks on parental leave. I hope you all give a warm welcome to the new guy who’ll be filling in for me. I’ll let him introduce himself next week. All I ask is that you don’t forget about me while I’m gone, because I will be back.

The times they are a changing A recent survey pointed to the fact that most older folks are not worried about aging. It appears that the youngest people taking part in the survey are more worried. Young people under 25 worried about aging? Preposterous? Maybe not. Those under 25 have good reason to be worried. When they reach retirement age, will they be able to count on the government to ease their financial burdens? Highly unlikely. So yes, they should be concerned – so concerned, in fact, that they are probably already starting to put money aside in RRSPs. Kind of sad, really, to have to be thinking today about one’s life 40 years down the road. Those of us who were children of the 1960s and ’70s had the opportunity to try all kinds of things before we settled down to raise families and contribute to society. We got to play first. Our generation was fortunate in that we never had to fight in a war like our parents or grandparents. We didn’t have to worry about recession and jobs and being able to afford a house. It was the late 1960s and the whole world was open to us. We travelled and hitchhiked around Europe, joined communes, found jobs in areas that appealed to us and generally did as we pleased. The jobs were out there for anyone who wanted to work.

Yes, there were protests, but it was most often the authorities who abused their power, not the public. Protests were about race, politics, social inequity and justice. While some things have changed, others remain the same. The young are restless, as they have always been. But young adults who graduate from university or college can no longer be assured of finding a job in their chosen field. They are inexperienced and in debt and often have to resort to poorly paid jobs – many still live with their parents because they cannot afford to live on their own. Their world isn’t looking like such a good place and they have reason to be anxious. It’s different for much of the older generation (their parents). They are still able to tap into their company pensions – adding in their government pensions, life is pretty decent for them. They can travel to sunny destinations in the winter and indulge themselves in golf games and shopping. This may well be the last generation able to enjoy a relatively carefree retirement. But while the survey states people between 55 and 64 aren’t worried, I believe
many individuals in that age bracket are. Not everyone wants to spend their remaining healthy years at a part-time, lowpaying job to supplement their meagre Canada Pension Plan or Old Age Security cheques. What they did manage to save won’t go that far. The government does not owe us a living any more than our parents do. What you didn’t do (like save) during your working years may come back to haunt you. Who knew? The world is changing rapidly and the technological age is shrinking the job market, rather than expanding it. Jobs are disappearing while the government tries to revamp Canada’s Employment Insurance to ensure Canadians get whatever jobs are out there. We can no longer count on the public service to provide jobs with life-long security. Public servants and bureaucrats have sunk some countries by being so top-heavy and weaving so much red tape that it is impossible to escape going under. It’s a worldwide phenomenon, so we can’t even escape it by moving elsewhere. This is worrisome for many folks. So really, I disagree with the survey. I think everyone is worried, no matter what their age. As Bob Dylan once sang: “For the times they are a-changin’.” Pirjo Raits is the editor of the Sooke News Mirror.

A few points on leak detection Still waiting Dear Sir, Re: Improved Leak Detection for Pipelines (Sentinel, June 6, page 1) Whereas it is highly commendable for better leak detection to be developed and considered, a few points need to be raised. 1. Any technology is subject to equipment and human failure. 2. Even with new technology we would be accepting the project on mere speculation, promises and faith. 3. Few leaks are small, but generally large to very large. This would be particularly true in our region because of earth quakes, land and snow slides, flooding, washouts, etc. Do not believe that this region is geologically stable. Many geologists and geological institutions state this is not so, and we have many examples: people being buried, temporary dams being cre-
READERS WRITE ated on rivers and streams and many river valley slopes consisting of fractured not solid rock. 4. We are dealing with diluted bitumen not regular crude. The pressure is much, much higher for DilBit than sweet crude. The figure I have seen are 600 PSI for crude and 2,150 PSI for DilBit and that pressure would go up more with increased throughput. Also, you cannot go immediately near a spill for clean-up as promised, it would kill you. 5. Vast sections of the proposed pipeline are not easily accessible, particularly under winter conditions for
five month of the year. Drive up along the Upper Kitimat River and see for yourself where the logging road get blocked by avalanches. You cannot get to the worst spots, you would have to hike. 6. The new pipeline technology would not help one bit in the marine environment. 7. I hope you have listened to the Alberta farmer who first reported on the latest big spill, being interviewed on CBC Radio Tuesday morning on June 12. For him it was the second spill in four years contaminating his land and pastures. He has 165 cattle but cannot sell the meat with a clear conscience. The meat is contaminated and it shows in the liver and kidneys. He will give up farming and he had one clear message for us: fight the Northern Gateway Project with everything you got. Dieter H. Wagner
for a human health assessment Dear Sir, It is of note to see Enbridge’s multimillion spending in media ads to promote their Northern Gateway pipeline to Kitimat while, in the more than two years since they put forward their application for it, they have not been able to produce a human health effect assessment of spills along the pipeline. It clearly shows that humans along the pipeline route are a low priority to Enbridge. Josette Wier
Yet another oil spill reported in Canada Dear Sir, There’s been another pipeline leak in Alberta. About 230,000 litres of black gold has spilled all over farmland near Elk Point, northeast of Edmonton. It’s the third dystopic gusher in a month. Crews are still working to clean up an 800,000 litre spill from a well owned by Pace Oil & Gas Ltd close to the Northwest Territories border, and a spill of up to 480,000 litres from a Plains Midstream Canada pipeline into the Red Deer River. The pipeline involved in the most recent spill belongs to Enbridge. That company is currently undergoing community hearings in anticipation of building the Northern Gateway Pipeline from Bruderheim to
Kitimat that’s set to traverse rugged mountains, pristine wilderness and areas of high geotechnical risk, including avalanches, slides and seismic activity. The bitumen will then be loaded onto supertankers bound for Asia that really have no hope of safely navigating the notoriously treacherous waters of the Inside Passage. In April, NDP leader Adrian Dix said that “under the Enbridge proposal, British Columbia would assume almost all the project’s risk, yet would see only a fraction of the benefits. By any measure, such a high-risk, lowreturn approach simply isn’t in B.C.’s interests.” In May, Premier Christy Clark described the Northern Gateway project as “a balance
of risk and benefit.” She admitted that the project would create almost no jobs in B.C. “It creates some jobs in the construction phase but there are very few long-term jobs that would be left in the province after that.” Like Dix, she concluded that it’s a highrisk, low-return game. “B.C. is taking 100 per cent of the risk. But at the moment B.C. gets about the same benefit as Nova Scotia.” The risk-benefit ratio could improve, of course, if Alberta offers B.C. access fees or a share of royalties. But it’s still a no-win proposition when one calculates the profound costs of the inevitable spills and the loss of the coastline, the fisheries, and the ancestral grounds of First Nations livelihood and
culture. Just last week the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives released a report, A Green Industrial Revolution, showing that carbon-intensive industrial policies can be overcome and a transition made to a sustainable economy and a zero carbon Canada. It’s scarcely the first report of its kind. Such possibilities are anything but new news. There’s actually no reason for Canadians to be browbeaten into embracing fossil fuel development as a divine order and oil spills as the status quo by politicians who are acting on behalf of their corporate sponsors, the oil and gas industry, rather than their constituents.

First step is to admit sin John 5:40, “(Jesus said), But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.” One of the worst civilian airline crashes in history took place on the Canary Islands in 1977 when two Boeing 747’s collided. A survivor related how many of the passengers reacted upon the fiery impact. Many of them were heard to have spoken their last words with profanity and cursing. Rather than making their “Peace with God,” their last earthly moments were spent cursing God. What would cause someone staring eternity in the face to still shake their fist at God? The sad fact is that many people would rather grasp onto their personal sin and take it with them to the grave rather than confess it to God and have it forgiven. The Bible says in John 1:8-9, “If we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the
truth is not in us. But if we confess our sin, God who is faithful and just will forgive us our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” God forgives us not based on any merit of our own, but because God’s son, Jesus Christ, lived a perfect sinless life for us, and then gave that sinless life on the cross as our substitute, so that whoever confesses their sin and believes in Him will not perish but receive eternal life. But of course, you first need to admit that you have sin in your life that needs to be confessed…and your pride doesn’t want to admit that; and so even while staring death in the face, many let their pride condemn them rather than receiving God’s free gift of forgiveness and eternal life. Jesus said in the verse above that His desire is that all souls would come to repentance and have eternal life, but so many are not

From the Pulpit Redeemer Lutheran Church
Pastor Clint Magnus willing. Friends, don’t allow someone else’s opinion to formulate your thinking about Jesus Christ. Don’t let anyone belittle you or demean your eternal priceless soul; rather, regard your soul with kid gloves. Acknowledge your sins before God and receive His free gift of forgiveness and eternal salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Let go of that sin that shackles you and drags you down. Many people think that repentance is something that crushes them, when in reality it is a great weight being lifted off. Jesus said, “Come to Me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.” May God grant
you the humility to acknowledge your sinful condition, and give you the faith to believe so that you may have life through our Savior Jesus Christ both now and forever. Amen.

Bylaw amendment moves forward
Legion looks to new generation Cameron Orr Kitimat’s Royal Canadian Legion is looking to accept a new generation of members. The organization, which has historically been geared to veterans, is trying to get the word out to the public that it’s not just for veterans anymore, and that it’s not “just a bunch of old veterans drinking beer and telling war stories.” (To use the phrasing of Ray MacKenzie, who has served as a peacekeeper and is a member of the local legion.) Not that there are too many more war stories left to tell locally. In 1995, the Northern Sentinel published a supplement for the local Legion, branch 250, honouring their 40th year (1955 to 1995). Out of the 14 legion veterans highlighted in the publication, only three remain alive today, as Max Cheyne noted as he unfolded his copy of the 1995 edition at the Seniors Centre last week. Community-wide, there are eight veterans left, according to Kitimat Legion spokesperson Bill Whitty. For $50 a year it might just be worth it for more people to sign up, as the Legion isn’t just the hall and bar you see off of the Kuldo Extension. For instance, the Legion supports the community in various ways, and the annual Remembrance Day ceremony and parade would likely disappear without the presence of the Legion and their guidance. For the current members, the Legion has always filled an important role for armed forces members returning home, whether it was the great wars or more recent conflicts overseas. “The most important thing to me is my reflections on fellas that were good friends, that I instructed, that didn’t get to come back with me. They never ever had an opportunity to marry a girl, to have children, to have a whole bunch of those important things that we have,” said Charles Doyle, a relative newcomer to Kitimat who served in World War 2. Ray MacKenzie says that the Legion is a facility that is open to a new generation, not just a product of the old. “We have a whole new wave of veterans coming in...those people have every much as right as we do to come to the Legion,” he said. “If there isn’t any legion to go to, the camaraderie that we carried with us in the armed forces and that we continue to carry on in the Legion would be lost.” MacKenzie points out that after two years with a membership, members without armed services background can vote on Legion matters, making them equally as important as other members in how it’s operated. “The Legion is there as a result of the veter-
Know your veterans Ahead of presentations in honour of them this Canada Day, some of Kitimat’s veterans provided these brief histories of their service. Ken Minifie Joined the Air Force in September 1942. Was shot down during a bombing run in 1943 and taken prisoner by Germans before being liberated by Russians in 1945. D.M. Ray MacKenzie Enlisted on August 15, 1956 and served in the Transport Division and Air Supply for the Royal Canadian Army Service. Was part of a United Nations peacekeeping force in the Gaza Strip in Egypt. Was honourably released on Oct. 23, 1963. Joe King Joined the Territorial Army and Royal Artillery in May of 1939, and served all over Europe and Asia, including Korea. Retired in September of 1956 with the rank of captain. Charles Doyle Volunteered for service on Oct. 28, 1943, and was an advanced infantry instructor up to December 1944, when he served overseas in England and Europe. Assigned to the Westminster Regiment in January 1945. Max Cheyne Joined the Air Force in 1943 at age 18, and trained as a pilot, and did all his flying in Canada. James Allaway Served for 18 years and had one tour of duty with NATO in Germany and one tour with the United Nations in Egypt. Joined the army in 1962, and released by request in 1980 to take a job with Alcan. ans...but it also has to get out there that the legion is available to everybody,” said Whitty. “If we don’t get a bunch of younger people interested we are going to lose our Legions.” Back to Doyle, he recalls joining the Legion after the war, almost entirely broke but still ready to pay the $5 fee. “Without the Legion I’m sure veterans wouldn’t have any of the things they have today.” The Legion has a table on display in the City Centre Mall’s upper main entrance which will provide additional information about the them, including ways to join. June 24 to 30 is B.C. Legion Week.

Council gave first reading to the G4-A Rural Resort Zoning Amendment bylaw, and set July 16 as the day for a public hearing on the proposal. The amendment relates to the application the Mills to develop a rural resort on their property at Minette Bay. The bylaw amendment will allow for the erection of 14 detached cottages, a development referred to as Pyne Hamlet. The amendment allows an expanded area of land to build this resort, while also protecting salmon bearing streams also on their property. Administration said these sorts of developments can sometimes call for complex actions — such as subdivision — but they are working to avoid confusion that would come with that.

For Dorothy Gillespie, a trained teacher fresh out of Normal School in Vancouver, it was quite a journey. Dorothy first learned of Kitimat from an ad in the BC Teacher Magazine. Kitimat with its rapidly expanding work force was clamoring for teachers and Dorothy was looking for a posting. After an interview at a downtown Vancouver hotel, Dorothy and her friend Lois were both offered teaching positions in Kitimat. Along with the grade 2 assignments, they were provided with teacherage accommodation. They were not quite sure what they were getting themselves into. Dorothy’s mother from New Westminster wasn’t certain that this wild northern work camp was something suitable for her daughter. She insisted in escorting Dorothy northward in their V.W. Chariot. So in August of 1956, Dorothy and her mother ventured north with the car packed to the limit. After Prince George, the road west was especially primitive, sometimes degenerating into muddy tracks through fields. The creek crossings along the Skeena were espe-
cially precipitous, and the road ended at Terrace. The highway to Kitimat had not been completed so the car had to be transported by the railroad. Dorothy and her mom were suitably impressed with Kitimat. After so many dusty and muddy settlements on their journey from Vancouver, Kitimat was impres-
other women teachers organized their lives for a year worth of teaching. One kitchen and one small bathroom was definitely a challenge, considering everyone was on the same schedule with school starting at the same time. Dorothy’s first class as a school teacher began the day after Labour Day in
Miss Gillespie started off with just 4 grade twos, but fully expecting many more as the year progressed. By Christmas, in the middle of snowstorms, they had moved to the front wing of Kildala School but that only lasted until Easter, when they again moved amid the carpentry and hammering to the back wing of the
church. It was there she met her husband, Bill. By 1958, they were married and living in their new home on Albatross, just above the ski hill. They had 25 years there together. Dorothy’s first child was born at Hospital Beach at the Smeltersite Hospital. One of Dorothy’s earliest memories of

It was a hive of activity with so much going on. It seemed very civilized, even though the reported ratio of men to women was 100:1. Dorothy’s teacherage was at 11 Swallow where she and five

her husband Bill was working with him on the Kitimat Churches Interdenominational Christmas Carol Fest at Nechako Auditorium for Christmas, 1957. Dorothy clearly remembers how Haisla’s United Church
residents in those days had little contact with the Haisla as there was no road connection and ferrying over to Hospital Beach from the village could prove very dangerous. During those early teaching years, Doro-

Gillespie Shortly after that, Mrs. Gillespie took over the Children’s Clothing Store in the City Centre Mall. Dorothy’s mom was a community star and was affectionately known as Grandma. Kitimat was such a young town with few or no gray haired people. Within the community, there was a sense of community responsibility. Everyone looked out for and supervised the children. Dorothy witnessed many historical events within her first decade in Kitimat. She can recount the departure of Kitimat’s iconic Delta King paddlewheel steamer as it was towed southward from its berth at Hospital Beach on April 18th in 1959 and she can definitely remember a few Kitimat low-points, including the aluminum stock crash when Alcan staff, without warning announced widespread layoffs which were immediate. Dorothy was stunned when children who had gone home for lunch that day, just disappeared. They and their parents just packed up and left without even collecting books and belongings. There was no opportunity for good-byes. In all, Kitimat was reported to have lost thousands of people. Much of their relatively new belongings were just swallowed up in the dump. Other events Dorothy remembers were the slides at Lakelse Lake Park in May and June of 1962, which took out the road to Terrace and many of the campsites, the memory of the aftermath of the big slide at Kildala Pass when power was lost to Kitimat Works, a tragic Douglas Channel incident, when the vessel carrying Kitamaat Village High School students swamped on its way to Alcan, and of course there were all the weather related events. For a Vancouver girl, the snowfalls were shocking and beyond everyone’s experience and the floods especially in the pre-dyke era, were memorable. Kildala was especially vulnerable to flooding. As a teacher, Dorothy recalls that their classes were almost all English as a Second Language. In those days everyone including the parents, so looked up to their teachers. Learning English was an overriding necessity for immigrant Canadians. At school, teacher expectations were also rather different. Women teachers were expected to appear attired in proper dresses. In the dead of winter she can still recall wearing heavy slacks under her dress. Male staff members were of course expected to wear ties. You certainly could not under any circumstance address your principal on a first name basis. Miss Gillespie constantly had to get to know colleagues. Not only did her community need new teachers but the turnover could be 33 per cent in just one year. Some memorable teaching highlights of those years include her initial student swim session. Dorothy’s class was the first to participate in lessons at the outdoor Riverlodge pool. Also, she fondly remembers a class outing to the ponds at Strawberry Meadows, when her spell-bound students were entertained by several cavorting beavers. In those days Alcan provided all, even in the schools. The company was eager to sponsor new and innovative activities. They created a rich learning environment. If you wanted to buy teaching resources or supplies for a new program the answer was yes. Who could ask for more? In the fifties and sixties people clearly had a sense of community pride. They knew they were part of a town that was unique and special. Their planned aluminum city was a focus of much of the world and teachers like Dorothy Gillespie were pleased to have been a significant part of the town’s success.
Marine liability explained A marine law lawyer told Kitimat’s business community and town council that the most important thing to do is ask the right questions to the right people as it relates to the potential for oil spills on B.C.’s coast. Simon Barker provided an overview on liability regulations in Canada for oil spills in national waters at a Kitimat Chamber of Commerce dinner and at town council on June 4. He went to length to explain Canada’s involvement in the International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund (IOPC) and the Canada-based Ship-source Oil Pollution Fund (SSOPF), each which provides a level of money to go towards response to an oil spill. In Canada, the level of compensation available is just shy of $1.3 billion between the SSOPF and the IOPC. In 2010 it was just over $1.3 billion, however Barker explained that the fund is based on world currencies and with worldwide economies in the state they’re in, the available funds has been affected, like many other things. The liability, ultimately, falls on the ship operator with the current liability regime, he said, but suggested that people shouldn’t just pick on the ship owner as that’s the easy route. “Ask yourselves the right questions, understand the system and probe the weak links in the triangle,” he said. The triangle that he refers is the three points relating to oil spills — liability, prevention and response. Some of those questions involve who is liable in the event of a spill, and where response equipment is stationed. He said that first response equipment needs to at
Simon Barker was in Kitimat recently, explaining marine liability to Chamber of Commerce members and later to town council. least be available at an operation’s terminal. His presentation also touched on subjects such as the preparedness of the west coast for a spill. Despite he experience working with the Coast Guard, he didn’t say exactly how prepared the west coast is based on recent cuts to environmental services by the federal government, but he did say that the west coast is far more prepared compared to the east coast. “If there’s to be a spill in Canada, I hope it’s in the west coast because you’ll
be able to deal with it better than anyone else,” he said, knocking on wood before he did. He also pointed to the single most dangerous part of oil transportation in relation to spills; the point where oil is loaded onto a tanker. Barker promoted a balanced approach to his triangle, but Kitimat councillor Mary Murphy took the opportunity to say she feels “prevention needs to have a higher focus.” Barker was in B.C. to participate in an oil response simulation in Vancouver.
Horizon House keeps at garden The Horizon House Community Garden Program is proceeding for another year with the support of community contributions. Town council recently approved a $350 grant for the program, a continuation of financial support from last year. That’s in addition to other contributions from local businesses and individuals to keep the garden growing. Mental Health and Addictions manager David MacLennan said that the garden program The Horizon House will be actively building up their community garden, shown here at it’s has been quite a com- home between the Northwest Community College and the Kitimat General Hospital. munity collaboration. “The aim, really, is for some of our mental health and addictions cli- es and soil. entele to have healthier options, so they can grow MacLennan credits the dedicated work of Kitimat-based life skills their own fruit and vegetables,” he said. worker Christie Brown, who he said has done a fantastic job keeping the There are six people in the core group of gar- garden going. deners for the program. “She is the one that’s been the driving force behind that for us,” he said.

Season wraps up Submitted The Kitimat Marlins Swim Club attended the last regional swim meet of the season in Terrace where teams from Prince Rupert, Terrace and Smithers were also in attendance. The Marlins were heavy on younger swimmers with many of the older Marlins not attending for various reasons. Even with this fact the Marlins were still able to manage placing second in overall points behind Prince Rupert with strong individual performances by many as well as relay wins in the 10 and under girls and 12 and under girls respectively. Many of the Marlin swimmers were using the racing as a last chance to tune up for the major swim meets coming up in late June and July. Kleanza Cathers (12) took the gold medal for overall points in the very competitive 11-12 girls division. Her victory was one of the tightest in any age group at the meet, a one point difference over Avery Movald from Prince Rupert. Cathers will be competing at the Age Group Nationals and BC Summer Games in July. First year competitive swimmer Brander Pacheco (13) continues to impress and improve with a silver medal in overall points in the competitive 13-14 boys division as he prepares for his first AAA Provincials early July in Richmond. Zachary Dumas (12) took the bronze medal in the 11-12 boys category. Dumas continues to make large improvements after one season out of the sport. Racing his first ever 200 meter butterfly Dumas just missed his first AAA qualifying time by a mere one second. Dumas was 100 per cent best times in all eight of his swims at the meet. He will compete at the AA Provincial Championships in Victoria later this month. Hannah Pearson (10) took the bronze medal in the 10 and under girls division. Pearson continues to improve and looks to be a talent for many years to come. Alivia Salema (12) who had the tenth fastest time in Canada in the 1,500 meter freestyle as an 11 year old took off a whopping one minute and 20 seconds off her personal best time in the event. It was the largest one swim improvement for any Marlin at the meet and only five seconds off her first National qualifying time. Joining Zachary Dumas in achieving 100 per cent best times in all eight races was first year swimmer Emily Maag (11) and second year swimmer Hayden Dobbin(12).
