Dix condemns Enbridge over US report Sean Glanville The US National Transportation Safety Board released their report on Enbridge’s handling of the massive June 2010 oil spill on the Kalamazoo River in Michigan Tuesday morning. “Enbridge’s failure to exercise effective oversight of pipeline integrity and control center operations, implement an effective public awareness program, and implement an adequate post-accident response were organizational failures that resulted in the accident and increased its severity,” read the report. Provincial NDP leader Adrian Dix was available to media for a conference call Tuesday to discuss the findings in regards to the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project. “The long term effects for the people of Michigan and the Kalamazoo River will be felt for a long time and have been serious in terms of health, the environment, and the economy,” said Dix. “Here in BC those risks to us have to be part of the process.” NTSB Chairman Debbie Hersman described Enbridge’s handling of the spill resembling the “Keystone Cops,” referring to the fictional early 20th century silent films featuring incompetent policemen.
The report takes direct aim at Enbridge also dumbfounded as to why the Liberals for it’s poor handling of the Michigan spill chose not to present evidence to the joint which total cost has now exceeded more review panel prior to the January, 2012 than $800 million, by far the most costly deadline, accusing them of ‘hoarding’ evispill on US soil.

He was Conservatives are lowering environmental
standards. “We need more stringent and direct environmental regulations, what we have in this country is a government at the national level and here at the provincial level going in the opposite direction,” said Dix. Dix referred to this easing of environmental standards at the national level, noting it was less than two years ago that a federal environmental review panel rejected Taseko Mines’s Prosperity project (gold-copper mine near Williams Lake) in November, 2010. “In recent times we saw the environmental reviews over the Prosperity project and the higher standards at the national level than we do here in BC.” The future is looking bright for the NDP as Monday’s Angus Reid poll has them at 45 percent support in BC compared to 23 percent Liberal and 22 percent Conservative. Dix made it clear what the NDP would do about the pipeline if they emerge victorious in next year’s provincial election on May 14, 2013. “If after the election we receive the support from the people of BC and win, the position for the government of BC would change the day after,” said Dix.

Westjet considers Terrace the Calgary session, Hendry said the new airline would start with routes at one end of the country and work its way toward the other end. “From what we were told they would be publishing a schedule sometime in January and start in the latter part of 2013,� he said. Currently both Hawkair and Air Canada Jazz service the Vancouver to Terrace run with 37-passenger Dash 8-100s and 50-passenger Dash 8-300s. One clue as to what Westjet may already be thinking came out during a presentation by a company official at the BC Chamber of Commerce Transportation Summit held in June, said Hendry. “He said there were two markets they were very interested in – Fort St. John and Terrace,� Hendry noted.
capabilities were, everything,� he said. The list of questions included what the current airlines charge and what the market would be for an east-west service, Hendry continued in adding the officials already knew about Terrace and area. “They asked if we thought Terrace is situated to be a regional airport and, of course, I said yes,� he said. Hendry said information put together by the Kitimat-Terrace Industrial Development Society helped outline the state of the regional economy. Speculation on routes and scheduling for Westjet’s regional airline has been growing across the country ever since plans were first announced in January. From information gathered at
Westjet is considering Terrace as one of the destinations its new regional airline could service when it takes to the air next year. And it won’t know if its made the airline’s schedule until next January, says Northwest Regional Airport manager Carman Hendry, who was interviewed by Westjet officials in Calgary at their invitation two weeks ago. Officials from 30 airports across the country each spent 30 minutes answering questions from three Westjet officials, said Hendry. “They wanted to know everything,� said Hendry. “Our passenger statistics, our runway length, all about our infrastructure, light, hold room capacity, [aircraft parking] aprons, what the market was, who was serving the market, what the baggage handling

Cameron Orr Kitimat’s Dorothy Cheyne has spent 25 years proving that being a senior doesn’t mean being old. Cheyne is marking 2012 as her 25th year as a Zone 10 athlete for the B.C. Seniors’ Games Society, which formed in 1987. Zone 10 represents Kitimat, Terrace, Prince Rupert, Haida Gwaii and the Nass Valley. Cheyne attended the first BC Seniors Games competition in 1988, the first time the event was held. She was 59 at the time. Cheyne has a scrapbook filled to the brim with photos and news clippings from 25 years of competitions. Many of the athletes within the pages are now no longer with us. In fact she said she is the only Kitimat athlete still left alive from the 1988 Games. Other Zone 10 athletes marking their 25th year in the society are Terrace’s Betty Nordstrom and Bob Goodvin, and Prince Rupert’s Mary Arneson. “I was on the first executive,� said Cheyne, who served as secretary for a year. “[We] got the thing going anyway.� Cheyne, now 84, started off as a tennis athlete — of which she taught at the Riverlodge — and has since competed in 10-pin bowling and, this year, floor curling. “As you get older you do things that are not quite so hard,� she said. Even as she takes less intensive sports each year, she still remains committed to winning. “I’m competitive, I want to win,� she said, adding, “I’ve got oodles of medals.� In 1988 she won a silver medal with her tennis partner who was from Terrace, and she said she has received a medal for nearly every year she’s gone off to compete.

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.

When daughters can’t get along I have been blessed with three beautiful daughters, Kaydence, 5, Harmony, 2 and our latest addition, one month old Tenley. I’ve been living away from them in Kitimat nearly three weeks now and the one thing I miss most about home, the chaos. When I accepted the job, I looked forward to coming home after work and not having to clean up messes, break up fights, and peace and quiet. However, I find myself having withdrawal from the typical anarchy involving my daughters ransacking the house and leaving a trail of toys, crafts, and food wrappers in their wake. Kaydence turned 5 recently, prompting me to return home to Williams Lake for the festivities. The latest chapter in the Kaydence and Harmony saga has been brewing. While shopping with grandma at a candy store, Kaydence had her eye on a Hello Kitty miniature fan full of candy. Of course she picks the most expensive item in the store, 12 bucks for this darn thing. Being the son of two school teachers, I would have told her no but Grandma bought it. Little did I know this fan would leave such a lasting legacy on my daughters. The last week has been an ongoing game of cat and mouse between the girls who can be in possession of the fan. In the eyes of a five and two-year-old its like a quest for the holy grail. Harmony patiently waits for Kaydence to stop playing with the fan before swooping in for her turn. When Kaydence notices this the battle ensues and being a little older and stronger she rips the fan from her sister. Harmony proceeds to jump up and down screaming, her face goes bright red, and she tries to speak but is too distraught to get any words out and nearly passes out from anger. Harmony, just shy of 3, has been punching above her weight-class against her teasing older sister since she can remember. Much like Hulk Hogan had his signature leg drop in his WWF heyday, Harmony has her death grip hair pull. The hair pull often gets Harmony her way and when mom asks if she pulled her sisters hair she matterof-factly says yes. No remorse, just an attitude of damn rights I did and I’ll do it again next time. I just got off the telephone with my wife today and all I could hear was crying and screaming on the receiver. “What’s going on?,” I asked. Sure enough, the girls couldn’t figure out how to take turns and share the Hello Kitty fan so mom had to hide it in her bedroom. Both girls were pounding away on the bedroom door during our entire conversation hoping their persistent tears and screaming might lead to a moment of weakness. My wife and I complain how the kids affect our social life but I couldn’t ask for better entertainment than what they provide.

decide that the Canadian contribution to the lucrative Afghanistan cash commitment would be $227-million, but I suspect it wasn’t the Canadian Parliament. That the money is intended to help cover the costs of Afghanistan becoming a self-sustaining, contributing nation, with equality for women, a sound education system for the young and a strong army for its own security. “The Canadian contribution hinges on improved accountability by the government of Afghanistan and an ability and willingness to deliver on its commitment to a democratic society, based on credible and constitutional elections, the rule of law and strengthening of anti-corruption and good governance efforts,” said Stephanie Rea with the Minister of International Cooperation’s office (Globe and Mail). I just know it won’t happen. The very day of the announcement – a young woman was unceremoniously shot to death for apparent adultery in front of a jeering crowd of male villagers an hour from the capital of Kabul. Afghanistan has a long way to go and anyone who thinks the Taliban has disappeared just isn’t reading the news. There was no trial or review of the facts, just the application of dubious religious law. This is what Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai supports, despite protestations to the contrary.

Shell Canada Ltd, Korea Gas Company (KOGAS), Mitsubishi Corporation and PetroChina Company Limited are proposing to build LNG Canada – an LNG export terminal near Kitimat, British Columbia. Kitimat is wellsuited for an LNG terminal as it is on Canada’s deepest inland tidewater port and is easily accessible via the Douglas Channel – B.C.’s largest coastal fjord.
Value for British Columbia, Energy for the World
Commitment to responsible development
Working with First Nations and the Community
The LNG Canada project would include the design, construction and operation of a gas liquefaction plant, and facilities for the storage and export of liquefied natural gas, including marine off-loading facilities and shipping.
The proposed LNG Canada project brings Shell, KOGAS, Mitsubishi and PetroChina’s extensive development experience, technical depth, financial strength and access to markets required to be the leading LNG developer in Canada. LNG Canada’s vision is to work collaboratively with First Nations, the local community, non-governmental organizations, and local, provincial and national levels of government to achieve the proposed project, and deliver a project that offers a new source of competitively priced LNG to global markets, while providing benefits to Canada, British Columbia and its coastal region.
The decision to move the project forward into development would be taken after conducting the necessary engineering, environmental, First Nations and stakeholder engagement work, with start up around the end of the decade, pending regulatory approvals and investment decisions.
LNG Canada’s vision is to deliver a project that offers a new source of competitively priced LNG to global markets, while providing benefits to Canada, British Columbia and its coastal communities. A world-class energy development project The LNG Canada project would initially consist of two LNG processing units referred to as “trains”, each with the capacity to produce six million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG, with an option to expand the project in the future. LNG Canada would be one of the most significant energy development projects in the history of British Columbia.
A regulated industry with an exceptional safety record For the past 50 years, LNG carriers have been safely transporting liquefied natural gas across oceans to markets where it is then regasified. In more than 50 years of commercial LNG use, no major accidents or safety or security problems have occurred, either in port or at sea.
LNG Canada Competitive Advantages
LNG is natural gas in its liquid, rather than gaseous form. To export natural gas where pipelines don’t exist, natural gas is cooled to -162 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, gas turns into a liquid, and its volume is reduced by 600 times. In its liquid form, natural gas can be safely and efficiently shipped by LNG carrier to global markets. Natural gas is odourless, colourless, non-toxic and non-corrosive. In its liquid form, natural gas is stored at standard pressures, which means it is nonexplosive. In the case of a leak, LNG evaporates when mixed with air. If the concentration of LNG in the air is below five percent or above 15 percent, it will not ignite.
To learn more about LNG Canada Over the coming months, LNG Canada will begin consultation in communities and will be providing further information about the project and an opportunity for interested parties to ask questions and raise concerns. A Project Description will also be provided to regulatory authorities.
Located on a deep-water port, ice-free year-round
For more information: Offers substantial number of employment and contracting opportunities for local residents Co-venture companies with global LNG experience designing, building and delivering LNG products worldwide Co-venture companies with access to technological innovation to deliver a sustainable energy development project
Co-venture Companies
Turning gas to liquid for export
Shorter shipping times to Asia over potential U.S. coastal sites Access to market with three of the four co-venture companies currently importing LNG for domestic use

Harper has been busy, of course, but, with the odious Bev Oda finally biting the dust in a fog of cigarette smoke and pension benefits and reports that the equally-obnoxious Vic Toews may soon be a judge in Manitoba – he’ll have some time this summer to take a critical look at some other weak sisters in cabinet – such as the pugnacious Tony Clement, ever unaffected by G20 $50-million expenditures, Peter Mackay who

Joe Oliver, who has demonstrated he’s prepared to weaken environmental rules on behalf of the oil industry, Keith Ashfield, who is seen to be master-minding Canadian fisheries decimation or even Maxime Bernier, who can’t quite remember where he left his briefcase full of top-secret papers. A couple of these ministers have shown they are prepared to shuck off considerable public criticism (as well as that of the Opposition parties) in their own particular views of accountability in fields where others with less

innocent views than mine, would consider corrupt. I know, when you’re over 70, you’ve likely lost track of some of the “trends� that are kept alive by the idiocy of Twitter, but I’m not that much behind that I can’t recognized the political expediency of President Barack Obama suggesting that extension of George Bush tax cuts that end at earnings of $250,000 a year, apply to the middle class in America. Yet that said, if rookies in the NHL earn $750,000 to a million dollars in year one of their contracts, where does that enter into the equation about who’s poor, middle class or among the one per cent rich?

residents as we enter what are traditionally the busiest months for bear complaints.
Reducing Human-Bear Conflicts Every year many bears are destroyed as a result of conflicts between people and bears. Most of these problems begin when people allow bears to access nonhabitat food sources, such as garbage. And the way to prevent those deaths is to ensure bears don’t start regarding your yard as an amble-through fast food outlet.
Sentinel
HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE This is the single biggest killer of bears. When people allow bears to access garbage, they help create “problem� bears that are usually destroyed. During the early spring to late fall, keep garbage behind closed doors in your garage, basement or storage area. Put your garbage out on the morning of collection day and not the night before. Thoroughly clean your garbage containers regularly. PET FOODS To avoid attracting bears, feed your pets indoors. If you must feed them outside, only put out enough food for a single meal and keep empty pet dishes inside. Store pet food inside your house. UNCLEANED BARBEQUES During bear season, clean your barbeque immediately after every use. Wash the grill or burn off the smells, food residue and grease. If you can smell your barbeque, then it is not clean enough. Store your barbeque in a safe place behind closed doors. COMPOST BINS Rotting food waste in compost bins draws bears. To reduce odours, cover compost with soil and bleach or lime. Washable, plastic compost bins with lids are recommended for outdoor use. They must be cleaned regularly. FRUIT TREES Picking ripe and excess fruit and removing windfall on a regular basis will discourage bears from seeking food. Store your fruit securely behind closed doors.
DUMPSTERS Bears are lured into communities by the smells of food and garbage coming from commercial dumpsters. The only way to keep bears out of dumpsters is to lock the lids down every night. Local businesses that use commercial dumpsters should ensure that their dumpsters are locked at the end of each day. The Kitimat Northern Sentinel is pleased to have partnered with the Kitimat Bear Aware Program to bring you this informative supplement. The Bear Aware Program supplied the pictures of local bears, as well as the following facts about bears: • Bears are strong swimmers and good at climbing trees. • Grizzly Bears are the second largest carnivore in North America. • Cubs stay with their mother until they are 1.5 to 2 years old. • Bears can run about 55-65 km/hour. • Most species of bears live to be around 25 years of age. Be Bear Aware: • Avoid getting close to a bear. • Make lots of noise when you are walking a trail in the forest. • Never feed a bear. kitimatbearaware@hotmail.ca

Bill Wah Sun Mah
August 23, 1933 - July 4, 2012 We are deeply saddened to announce that Bill – beloved husband, father, and grandfather – passed away suddenly on July 4, 2012 at Vancouver General Hospital. He had cancer and fought it very bravely and privately since 2005, but finally lost the battle not long after he and his wife Judy moved from Kitimat to Vancouver. He was surrounded by his family at the end. Bill will be forever missed by his wife of 54 years, Judy; daughter Elizabeth (Michael Burton-Brown); son Peter; son Donald (Joyce); daughter Juliette (Paul Bowie), and grandchildren Megan and Emily Burton-Brown, Mitchell and Samantha Mah, and Amanda and Ryan Bowie. He also leaves behind many friends and family. Bill came to Vancouver, Canada from Toisan, China in 1953 and in 1954 moved to Kitimat, BC. Kitimat was then a booming new community being built by Alcan, so he was a true pioneer working as a cook first at Helen’s Café, then in the construction camp. He married Judy in Hong Kong in 1958, and they brought up their family in Kitimat. He worked for years as chef at the Alcan guest house and met the corporate VIPs, then opened his own restaurant – the popular Kitimat Chop Suey Kitchen – which he operated for 36 years with Judy until they retired together in 2002. Over those many years, he and Judy were well-known and either employed or served most of the community. Bill was devoted to family. From very hard beginnings, he worked to support his family and managed to put all his children through university. At the same time over decades, he supported family back in China, and helped sponsor many family members who are now living throughout Canada. Bill was extremely generous and loving, and enjoyed life, friends, and family above all. He loved to laugh and be amused, and near the end he reflected that in spite of the many hard years, he’d had a really good, successful life and was very happy with what he had. There was a visitation at Mountain View Cemetery, 5455 Fraser Street, Vancouver, BC. on Tuesday, July 17, 2012 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. A Celebration of Bill’s Life will take place on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 at 10:00 am, also at Mountain View Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family would welcome donations to the BC Cancer Foundation at Bill’s “In Memory” page at http://donate.bccancerfoundation.com/goto/Bill.Mah so that we may honour his memory and perhaps one day beat the terrible disease that took him from us too soon. The family would like to thank the many caring doctors and staff who looked after Bill over the years, including those at the BC Cancer Agency and the Vancouver General Hospital.

Marshall wins climb Shaun Thomas The weather for the Dave Saunders Memorial Hill Climb on July 1 started off like any other weekend weather lately, cloudy skies with intermittent showers. Like most Hill Climb races in the past, the weather cleared before noon on the hill and a great day of racing was had. In “A” class racing after the defending “Hill Climb” champion, Pierre Amado, in his orange Challenger was eliminated, it was left up to his brother, Paul Amado, to keep it in the family. Paul, in his Demon, was able to beat everybody except Matt Marshall in his Nova. Marshall was having a great day, not only winning “A” Class but getting the much coveted “Perfect Light” award.Chris Woods from Burns lake, running in his first race in two years, eliminated some heavy hitters on his way to taking home 3rd place. “B” Class racing had quite a few first time racers. Adam Hunter, racing for the first time, took home 1st place in his pickup truck. Cody Thom followed up with a second place win. Todd Godbout brought home third place the hard way. Godbout spent the night before the races installing the ‘Big Block’ power train in his car. He made his first runs up the hill for him and the car and brought home the third place trophy. “Bikes and Sleds” was dominated by the Enmark Brothers and their sleds. Kevin took home 1st place and Shawn corralled second place. Kevin also took home the “King of the Hill” trophy. Cory Botz rounded up the “Bikes and Sled” class by taking 3rd place in his bike. In the “Juniors” finals , Chris Cook was running up against a new racer Madison Amado. Cook, running against a much faster racer managed to outlast Madison to take home 1st place. Tanner Daum brought home 3rd place. A great race was had by all that ran or watched the Kitimat Hill Climb. A big thank you goes out to all of the hard working organizers and volunteers who made this race possible.
Winners: “A” Class 1- Matt Marshall 2- Paul Amado 3- Chris Woods “B” Class 1- Adam Hunter 2- Cody Thom 3- Todd Godbout “Bikes/Sleds” 1Kevin Enmark 2- Shawn Enmark 3- Cory Botz “Jr’s” 1- Chris Cook 2- Madison Amado 3- Tanner Daum “King of the hill”- Kevin Enmark “Perfect Light”Matt Marshall Check out the website www.prautoclub.com to look at some Hill Climb photos.
