Council backs RTA water license bid Sean Glanville Kitimat City Council spoke loud and clear that they would support Rio Tinto Alcan during their latest water licensing dispute with the province of BC. The council have sent a letter to the province expressing their unconditional support for completion of the Kemano back-up tunnel construction.

“We’re confident this will work out really soon,” said RTA media spokesperson Colleen Nyce. “We are very appreciative of the stakeholders, the first nations and the municipal government and particularly the District of Kitimat who have given us support for our back-up tunnel project.”

RTA was suprised at BC Jobs Minister Pat Bell’s decision to delay the signing of the water license, advising the amendment was only to put the second tunnel into use and not use more water. In reaction, RTA ordered everything to shut down Friday afternoon and sent all of their employees home. This caused a major stir throughout the region over the weekend. Mayor Joanne Monoghan mentioned how she and her staff had spent 13 hours trying to iron out the details on Saturday.

“Obviously this has drawn a huge amount of public concern as it came out on

the weekend,” said Kitimat Councilor Phil Germuth.

Bell would not sign the amendment until Kitimat, Vanderhoof, and Prince George, the three communities primarily affected by the tunnel, discuss the issue. He mentioned the water license is not required until construction on the new tunnel is completed.

However, it is understandable for RTA to not want to invest further into a project they’ve already spent over $100 million on only to find out they can’t get the water license down the road.

RTA are currently in a wait and see mode claiming they have done everything asked of them by the Ministry. They were unable to set up a meeting with Prince George until July 20 but to RTA’s understanding Prince George mayor Shari Green has submitted a letter to the Ministry.

“Right now we feel we’ve fulfilled all the requests and provided all the information and we’re just basically waiting to hear from the ministry,” explains Nyce. “We’re committed to continue to meet with them and work to resolve the situation.”

Vanderhoof along with Kitimat held meetings on July 16 regarding the issue, while Prince George is scheduled to meet next on July 30. Vandherhoof mayor Gerry

Thiessen asked to see the terms of the 1997 Kemano Completion project settlement agreement, which saw former Premier Mike Harcourt nix the project.

Thiessen also mentioned how the province, not the municipalities, are stewards over the Nechako, passing the onus back on to Minister Bell.

Critics feel the completion of a back up tunnel is simply the Kemano completion project in disguise. They argue RTA will use this tunnel to generate and sell more power by adding four new turbines to the existing eight.

However, there are advantages to a second tunnel aside from power. The new tunnel is much smoother than the original which was blasted from rock over 50 years ago. This allows the transfer of water to the back-up tunnel so technicians can fix areas with significant wear, fallen rock and debris.

Engineering experts also say that running both tunnels at half capacity and funneling the water-flows together can somehow produce more power than a single tunnel at full capacity.

Former Kitimat mayor Richard Wozney described the completion of the second tunnel as a ‘good thing’ but criticized RTA of not being up front with the community.

Wozney called the Kemano back-up tunnel project ‘a poorly kept secret.’

“It’s just more of the same of what this community has gone through in the past.

This is just a typical ploy by RTA,” said Wozney. “They don’t tell the people anything and then they want their support.”

Wozney refers to previous times RTA has rallied for support including 20 years ago regarding the water flow issues on the Vanderhoof side of the Kenney dam and more recently when RTA wanted to dredge Tahtsa narrows.

The concern for Minister Bell and the people of Vanderhoof is that using more water for a second tunnel will cause less waterflows in the Nechako river and could disrupt the regions ecosystem. However, water levels on the Nechako reached a 200 year high in 2008 and the river is prone to ice related flooding in the Prince George region, including this past winter.

Germuth discussed a few key questions on the Kemano issue such as power generators and the allocation of water flow for the second tunnel. “Generators for facilities like this aren’t something companies just stock on the shelves, it takes years to actually build these and get them out,” says Germuth.

City approves liquor at camp Sean Glanville Kitimat city council voted in favour of Rio Tinto Alcan’s proposal for a liquor-primary license to serve alcohol at their Kitimat camp.

The camp which serves hundreds of temporary workers for the Kitimat Modernization Project plans to build a facility known as The Lounge where workers will be able kick back after their shift. The license still needs to be put through the BC Liquor Board for final approval.

Local liquor establishments hoped council would amend this proposal for a food-primary license instead of a liquor-primary license, with the major difference being that patrons from the camp to do not have to order food to be served alcohol. “The primary license operates like a regular lounge so basically you’ve taken those people off the market place for going into Kitimat and having a drink,

meals, taking a taxi and so on,� says North Star Inn manager Jim Thom.

Another key debate was the issue of off-sales, and council agreed to the proposal under the condition that offsales would not be served. “I have talked to the liquor inspector himself and he has informed me they will not be allowed to sell offsales,� says Thom. The rule for offsales is the camp premises have to be 30 kilometres or more away from any existing liquor establishment and the Kitimat Hotel is the break-mark spot about five kilometres away.

Thom was disappointed with council’s decision to grant the license. “I’d like city council to listen to us, we’ve gone through 20 years of hard times right now,� says Thom. “Old businesses and prospective businesses interests in this town are not protected and that is really going to hurt us all. We all need a fair share of this investment.�

Restoration KCS 4FSWJOH UIF /PSUIXFTU One Call Does It All

Phil Germuth, the lone councillor to vote against the proposal, argued that the camps are doing little to support Kitimat. He cited how the camps meat and other groceries are being trucked in from Alberta. The issue of camp workers not being able to take a leave of absence (LOA) also was discussed. “I would have liked workers at the camps to be able to take an LOA to come into town and spend money but they are forced to stay in the camp which hurts the town,� explains Thom.

Local business owners say this is only adding salt to their wounds as the establishment of the camp in first place has taken business from local accommodation. “All the motels and hotels have been basically screwed by having the camp there in the first place but at the same time nobody is allowed to go visit, unlike the old camps,� adds Thom.

age the water along the Nechako river to reduce flood risk. RTA feels if it is unable to generate power in Kemano there will be flooding in the Vanderhoof area.

For this reason, RTA is asking the Labour Relations Board that certain hourly employees in the Kemano and Kitimat control rooms continue working during a strike/lock-out.

The scale and scope of this essential service will be determined next week as the Union will take part in negotiations through the LRB in Vancouver. In the meantime, RTA is prohibited from starting a strike/lock-out until there is a ruling on the application.

Dear Sir, Let me get this straight... 1) Prime Minister Harper said Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project will be built.

He said this months before the Joint Review Panel has seen all the evidence, and months before the start of the JRP’s final hearings.

2) At the same time the JRP is investigating Enbridge’s proposal to build two pipelines through our north coast mountains.

A U.S National Transportation Safety Board investigation said Enbridge ignored corrosion in the Kalamazoo pipeline for five years, and said Enbridge handled the Kalamazoo spill in the flat lands of Michigan like “Keystone Cops”.

3) Enbridge bears no responsibility for spills after supertankers pull away from the dock.

4) Transport Canada says no escort tugs or ra-

RTA now face a labour issue with the latest bargaining update on a possible strike released Tuesday. The day after being notified, RTA filed an application for an “Essential Services” order and Bechtel filed an application for a “Common Site” order to CAW-Canada.

Back in 2006 when I was at the Northern Sentinel, Bruce Hill sent a letter to the editor castigating Allan Hewitson (column) and myself (editorial) for expressing views contrary to the doctrine of the Church of Climate Change.

As readers may know, Hill is an ex-logger who many years ago took on a new role as a very effective advocate for environmentalism and these days runs an eco-tourism business.

In that letter Hill accused Allan and I of being “in denial”.

In my response, I pointed out that I did not for one minute deny that global warming was taking place.

Therefore, how could I be in denial?

But what I did deny was that Man had anything to do with it.

My doubts were rooted in the fact of the Medieval Warming Period which occurred without any help from man-made greenhouse gases.

And I suggested that thinking we were causing the change was typical of the arrogance of Man, a ludicrous belief that we could actually control something as huge and as complex as this planet’s fundamental system.

Heretical views to be sure, and views that one Fritz Vahrenholt would doubtless have disagreed with back then.

Vahrenholt is regarded as one of the fathers of the environmental movement in Germany and walked the talk by founding one of Europe’s largest renewable energy companies.

But in a June 18 column in the English Daily Telegraph news-

A NASA study revealed that several house plants can absorb air pollutants and make them into breathable air. In just 24 hours, certain plants can carry away up to 87 percent of polluted inside air!

It really is a small world I was headed out the door last Monday night from the City Council meeting when I heard a voice from upstairs shout out ‘Mr. Glanville.’ Councilor Rob Goffinet wanted to introduce himself and ask me a quick question.

He wondered if I had any relatives in the Grand Forks area. It turns out my Grandma Alice was his Grade 5 teacher. He said ‘I could tell by looking at you, you were a Glanville.’

One of the luxuries of having a rare last name like Glanville instead of Smith or Jones is people hear the name so seldom that they feel compelled to ask me if I’m related to so and so.

I considered how Grand Forks and Kitimat, the two most opposite corners of the province, and then me from Williams Lake, somehow have a connection.

I had a similar encounter at the golf course when I met Kitimat resident Derek Downing.

When he heard I was from Williams Lake, he asked if I knew John and Linda Dube. Sure enough they looked after my brother and I every day from ages 2-5. Turns out Derek and the Dube family both hail from the same small town in Newfoundland and they all moved to Kitimat back in the seventies.

Back to my Grandma Alice, her legend seems to grow every passing day. At 92 she’s still sharp as a whip. She’s served as head of the BC Historical Society, a marriage commissioner, wrote over a dozen books and was mayor of Grand Forks for multiple terms. She’s done everything from have a library named after her to preside over a Hells Angels wedding.

Occasionally I run into somebody who knows Alice. A few years back I was filling up for gas in Monte Lake, a little spot between Kamloops and Vernon, when the attendant, I’d say a man in his late 50’s asked if I had family in Grand Forks. I told him Alice was my Grandma and he said she was his teacher and he had that same sort of nostalgic smile on his face as Mr. Goffinet did.

This connection may have got Rob to reflect momentarily on his halcyon days as a youth growing up along the Kettle River in Doukhobor country recalling a former teacher who left a positive impression on him. At least I’d assume Rob enjoyed his time in the school system, as I’ve been told he was a teacher himself here in Kitimat before joining council.

After recently completing my teaching degree I too will enter the teaching ranks this fall.

I hope when I’m old in my rocking chair that when students think of me I can put a smile on their face just like my Grandma.

I’m not sure that this will ever be a starter – this company seems to have shot its own feet off so many times that they may not even have stumps left. In fact, maybe all these feet periodically washing up along the B.C. Coast belong to Enbridge execs?

Rafe Mair and his gang of eternal malcontents never let good reason sway their hysterical campaigns for blowing this project out of Douglas Channel waters – the latest being that super-tanker noises would be deleterious to the health of dolphins and Orcas.

The Concordias and Oasis of the Seas cruise ships are ok, but big fueltankers, which currently ply the oceans of the world relentlessly, would do environmental harm only here?? Chinese container ships don’t make a noise???

Stick with the old stuff Rafe and Damien – it seems to be working well.

Meanwhile, NDP leader, Adrian Dix, with a premiership on the tips of his fingers has presumably polled southern B.C. and has now decided that he’s firmly on the “Stop Enbridge” side and he’s equally not keen on Kinder-Morgan oil expansions or the prospects of more tankers in Vancouver harbour. He still hasn’t been able to draw a sensible word out of Christy Clark, however.

Purchase, who was 30 when arrested after a fatal stabbing in Kitimat in November 2009, will be sentenced in Terrace supreme court Aug. 24.

On the morning of November 8, 2009, Arkadiusz Rejczak was stabbed on Angle St. in Kitimat, reported Kitimat RCMP at that time.

Rejczak later died of his wounds.

Police reported that they were searching for a man seen at the scene and later arrested Purchase on unrelated charges in Terrace, said police in a subsequent statement.

The RCMP investigation, in conjunction with the major crimes unit in Prince George, revealed that Purchase had been in a fight with the victim.

Purchase was charged with second degree murder on March 25, 2010 in relation to the death of Rejczak, said police.

The trial was originally set for four weeks but was completed in two weeks.

Marlins medal at provincials The Kitimat Marlins had four of its 6 AAA Provincial qualified swimmers attend the AAA Provincial Long Course (50 meter pool) swimming championships in Richmond.

As always when attending Provincial and National level meets they joined qualified swimmers from Smithers and Prince Rupert as part of the Points North swim team.

Six hundred and forty of the best swimmers of all ages from around the province were in attendance making for some extremely tough competition.

With stronger results and more AAA qualified swimmers from around the region for the first time in many, many years Points North fielded relay teams in both the 12 and under girls and 12 and under boys divisions.

Zachary Dumas, 12, from the Marlins in his first ever AAA Provincial meet joined with Liam McChesney, and Trey Kish from Prince Rupert as well as Luke Baraduci from Smithers to bring home Bronze medals in the 12 and under boys 200 meter Medley Relay,

200 meter and 800 meter freestyle relays.

Alivia Salema, 12, and Kleanza Cathers, 12, from the Marlins joined with Avery Movald and Amy Leighton from Prince Rupert to win silver in the 12 and under girls 800 meter freestyle relay.

Kleanza Cathers competing in the 12 year old girls division had four top 8 finishes (top 8 swimmers in each event make the finals) Her strongest result came in the 200 meter backstroke, a 5th place finish in the finals. It was Cathers best result ever at a AAA Provincial Championships. She also placed 7th in the 400 meter, 800 meter and 2 km open water freestyle events.

First year competitive swimmer Brander Pacheco, 13, continued to have outstanding results for a swimmer who is brand new to the sport as he made the finals (top 8 overall) in two events in the 13 year old boy division.

Pacheco finishing 6th in the 100 butterfly and 7th in the 200 butterfly respectively.

After coming back to the sport after a one year hiatus Zachary Dumas continued to impress with two top 8

Dear Editor, Re.: Encounter with bear by Kitimat horse riders (sentinel June 13 ) Very few horses see bears as a danger, black or grizzly. As a rule they just ignore them and the bear is likely to just move out of the way. However, quite a few horses will also attack a bear almost on sight. Donkeys and mules are liable to do the same, they will also trample to death that barking dog which thinks of chasing them. But when it comes to moose the issue is the reverse.

For some reason a horse will freak out when it gets a whiff of moose or, worse, meets one on the trail. Go figure!

Unfortunately many riders do not realize this and therefor run scared. Of course, as in the Kitimat case, the presence of a dog complicates such a meeting.

finishes in the 12 year old boy division.

Dumas finished 7th in the 100 meter butterfly and 8th in the 200 meter butterfly.

In the bottom of her age group Alivia Salema competing in the 12 year old girl division had two top 8 finishes with 8th place finishes in the 800 meter freestyle and 2 km open water swims.

Four members of the Kitimat Marlins swim club attended the AAA Provincial Long Course Championships in Richmond . They are Alivia Salema, left, Kleanza Cathers, Zachary Dumas, and Brander Pacheco.

misc. cont’d

Continued from page 4 Kitimat LNG has again held off for several more months on a decision to move ahead with a real dollar commitment to its Bish Cove project, with the same old reasoning – they don't have hard and fast agreements with Asian customers – or if they do, their names are a well-kept secret.

A recent industry comment went like this: “Unfortunately, the Kitimat project is seeing delays, the most recent of which came in June when Apache is estimated that trouble securing long term contracts with LNG purchasers in the Asia Pacific region will delay the predicted first export from 2016 to 2017.

This is still ahead of its nearest LNG plant competitor, the British Columbia LNG project led by Royal Dutch Shell with partners PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corp, and Korea Gas Corp.

Shell's project is estimated to start exports in

2019, but it needs to obtain regulatory approval, a hurdle that the Kitimat partners already cleared.�

Adding to the confusion, the NDP think tank, the ubiquitous Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, said in a recent Sun article it thinks multiple LNG plants in the north (e.g. Kitimat) “do not make sense� because they'll boost B.C. pre-legislated carbon emissions too high – and are already so delayed that they can't be built before the LNG market in Asia is flooded.

The Centre's policy analyst, however, is identified as Vancouver Sun writers at the top of the recent column on the subject, confusing matters further.

Delays to Kitimat projects have been frequent enough that announcements of a “flooded market� has been an oft-repeated danger warning from industry leaders and media alike. ahewitson@telus.net

An Ohio documentary film maker has gone missing in North West BC. On July 10, New Hazelton RCMP received a complaint of an abandoned vehicle parked at Gull Creek.

RCMP identified the owner of the blue/grey Pontiac Torrent SUV Ohio plate EGW1699, as 26-year-old Warren Andrew Sill from Ohio.

Police spoke to the family who stated their son, Andrew, was in the area to make a documentary on the Spirit Bear and they had last spoken to him on July 4.

RCMP confirmed the vehicle had been parked at the entrance of the Whiskey Creek Trail since Thursday, July 5.

Sill had told family and friends that he

Andrew Sill would be exploring for four or five days, but police then learned that Sill was not a seasoned outdoors man and therefore Search and Rescue were contacted.

The Search for Andrew Sill is still ongoing at this time. Search and Rescue along with RCMP police dog services, ATV, a local helicopter and a number of volunteers are searching the vast forest which is described as dense and very chal-

lenging.

“Our search for Andrew Sill continues as we try to cover as much ground as possible including an aerial search with the assistance of a helicopter.” stated Cst. Lesley Smith, RCMP North District Media Relations Officer. “The fact that this young man is not an avid hiker and he is not familiar with this terrain, is very concerning.”

Warren Andrew Sill is described as; 5’10”, 180 lbs. medium build with short dirty blond hair and clean straight teeth If anyone has information in regards to Sill’s whereabouts they are asked to contact the New Hazelton RCMP Detachment at (250) 842-5244 or call 911 for immediate assistance.

Sports & Leisure Enmark earns King of the Hill honours Sean Glanville Kitmat’s Kevin Enmark was crowned King of the Hill winner at the Dave Saunders Memorial Hill Climb during Kitimat’s Canada Day celebrations.

Enmark aboard his Yamaha V-max 4 cylinder 750cc snowmobile was too quick on the day, winning all five of his races including the King of the Hill final against the Leavitt Machinery Truck in a blistering 5.6 seconds.

Enmark competed in the very first King of the Hill race a few years back but this was his first time winning the event. He made a triumphant return to racing after taking the past few years off.

“I just got back into racing this year; I do the Terrace races, I go to Houston and once in a while I’ll hit Prince George if it works out

for me,” says Enmark.

The local machine operator has been racing on and off for 12 years but is strictly a snowmobile racer.

“I just race my snowmobile against whoever races against me,” added Enmark. He captured the Bikes and Sleds category as well, taking first place ahead of his brother Shawn Enmark who grabbed runner up honours.

For the King of the Hill they take the winners from each class and then race them off until a winner is crowned. “When we race for King of the Hill we race everybody; cars, trucks, motorcycles, bikes, railcars, whichever is racing that day,” explains Enmark.

Enmark plans to be back next year to defend his title and keep the King of the Hill trophy in Kitimat.

Birds of a feather....eat their feathers Backyard birders usually take considerable pleasure in providing something for birds to eat.

The most common handouts are seeds, followed closely by blocks of seed-laced suet. Others may go further and plant trees or bushes which produce berries, fruits or flowers attractive to birds.

Some species of birds have some rather unusual dietary desires so attracting these species to your yard may not be very easy.

At one time, our backyard pond was stocked with goldfish. Over time, we saw fewer and fewer fish.

We reasoned the fish were shy and preferred to hide beneath the lily pads. We had a complete change of mind, however, after we witnessed a rather large gull landing awkwardly midst the rushes. Before our very eyes, it snatched one of our glittering orange carp from the shallows.

With a renewed perspective on the fate of our fish, we then kept a careful watch on the water’s edge.

We had subsequent visits from both a heron and kingfisher who eagerly eyed the pond with an easy meal in mind. After the last fish ‘disappeared’, we decided to abandon the notion of maintaining a fish farm as part of our backyard fauna.

So now that the idea of keeping fish alive was officially dead, we briefly pondered the idea of offering dead fish to keep other birds alive.

After a few brief moments of careful consideration, it dawned on

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.
