RTA and union reach agreement After 29 sleepless hours, Rio Tinto Alcan (RTA) has reached a tentative agreement with its unionized workers. Starting at 7 a.m. Monday July 23 and finishing at noon Tuesday, representatives from the Canadian Autoworkers Union (CAW) Local 2301 and RTA kneaded out a temporary contract to replace the one that expired at midnight the night before. “We’re all very happy that the strike is seemingly over; we haven’t ratified it yet,” says Kitimat mayor Joanne Monaghan. “It sends a message to all the other industries coming in here that we can work with industry.” The mayor had high praise for CAW 2301 President Rick Belmont. “I think Rick did a very good job negotiating and everyone is quite pleased
that we can go on and it’s good for the community,” says Monaghan. “A five year agreement is very good.” This contract came in time to stop a looming strike, as 72 hour notice was given to RTA last Friday. The new but not-yet-final contract includes increased worker pay and benefits among other things, and both parties are pleased with the result. “We think it’s a good deal for both the employees and the company and it’s for 5 years,” said RTA spokesperson Colleen Nyce. “All of our agreements cover off employees who work in the smelter and employees who work in our powerhouse in Kemano.” Nyce said the contract negotiated is a standard type contract.
“We negotiated wages and we negotiated certain other operational benefits for the employees,” she said. “The tone of the negotiations was very good and both parties worked very diligently and respectfully to reach and agreement and they did so without a labour stopping so we’re very pleased about that.” Some of the contract details were released in a CAW Local 2301 press release this afternoon and full details will be provided to members later this week. According to the release, some of the contract features include: • 5 year agreement • Wages: Year 1 – 3%, Year 2 – 2.5%, Year 3 – 2.5%, Year 4 – 2.5%, Year 5 – 3%
• Job security letter (no lay-offs) resigned • All temporary workers hired to fulltime • Five terminated temporary welders hired to full-time • $2500.00 Signing bonus for regulars, temporaries and LTD members • Agreement on classifications for workers in the KMP • Pension multiplier increases • Retiree benefits increases • Active employee benefit increases • Increases to Shift, Weekend, Skilled Trades and Kemano premiums Contract ratification meetings were held last Thursday and Friday July 26th and July 27th at Mount Elizabeth High School Gym.
Kootenay caravan arrives in Kitimat Sean Glanville The Kootenay to Kitimat caravan arrived at its destination. Four men, who call themselves the “geezer gang”, left Nelson July 15 in their Dodge Caravan heading for the northwest to show their opposition to Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project. The Douglas Channel Watch committee hosted a reception for their Kootenay friends at the City Centre Mall parking lot Tuesday afternoon. Keith Wiley, caravan organizer, presented a folder containing 500 signatures of Kootenay residents who oppose the pipeline. Wiley says he’s amazed by the support they’ve received along the way. “We got a lot of people who are opposed to the pipeline and they’ve been saying they’re really happy we’re able to take this message up, and they say ‘tell them for us, we are opposed to the pipeline too’,” said Wiley, adding “the response has been overwhelming... people saying it’s good to carry a message up north.” The caravan idea was started as nothing more than an idea on facebook and has blossomed into bringing pipeline awareness to thousands.
“There were a number of people here in the Kootenays that were concerned about the Enbridge pipeline and its environmental impacts. We had some big public events and people were compelled to do something more,” said Wiley. “The idea actually popped up on facebook; someone said “why don’t we actually go and follow the pipeline route.” Wiley and his crew had talked about the caravan idea for a couple months and finally the four of them were able to pull it off. Many people that had hoped to go on the caravan due to work, summer vacations, family commitments and other reasons were unable to make the trek. “Initially we had a lot of people said they wanted to go, but when it came down to 10 days of hard slogging there was only four of us that actualy made the trip,” says Wiley. “We have support from thousands of people that want us to bring the message here that the people on the pipeline route should not feel alone, there are a lot of people in BC concerned about this pipeline and want it stopped.” The Geezer Gang, a quartet of retired Nelson and area

Nurses face staff shortage Sean Glanville Insufficient staffing levels for nurses at Kitimat hospital has become a growing concern among the community. Chair for the North West region of the BC Nurses Union, Sharon Spontor, feels the levels are unsafe and are plaguing the health and safety of those citizens in need of care. Sponsor mentions staffing level shortages are not isolated to Kitimat, after recent visits to Terrace and other community facilities it’s apparent they are suffering from similar staffing issues. “The nurses workload is such that there are so many patients and their emergency is getting back-logged, it’s a bottle neck waiting for patients to get up to the floor,� says Spontor. “Staff just feels like they can’t provide a level of care to the standards they would like to.� The BC Nurses Union are currently at the bargaining table for a new contract and improved staffing conditions is their top priority. “Right now we are negotiating bar-
gaining our new contract and the number one message that’s been put forth to the bargaining committee and to our negotiators is that we want safe staffing levels, we want to provide that safe level of care,� explains Spontor. In many cases the nurses are so overworked they have been unable to take their breaks. “My recent hospital visits I see nurses that are missing their breaks because they don’t have the capabilities or relief capacity within the hospitals to get away for a few minutes and take a decent break,� says Spontor. Spontor notes that fortunately the nurses are not the victims of patient dissatisfaction, and in most cases patients commend the nurses for their efforts. It is not unusual to see the nurses running from room to room in order to keep up with the workload. “The last time I was in Kitimat and speaking with the nurses I did have a couple patients come up and express to me the fact that they supported the nurses,

that the nurses were doing a great job and they just couldn’t do the things they had to do,� said Spontor. “One fellow said to me ‘it’s like they’re always running from room to room, they are just so busy.’ The BCNU hope the Ministry will approve funding for improved staffing levels. There is currently a surplus of nurses in the province which features a number of quality nursing programs including one locally at North West Community College. There are many nursing graduates looking for work that could fill the staffing void. “There’s nurses graduating here that want to work but they don’t want to go into lines, they want a schedule and that stability to consolidate their skills but also to pay off their student loans and other debts,� says Spontor. “In many cases there are graduating nurses hired on as casual but they have no guarantee of work and it becomes very difficult. Nurses will go wherever there is work, and I think there is a real need for those positions.�

NWCC students venture the Kitlope On National Aboriginal Day and the summer solstice, students from Northwest Community College (NWCC) embarked on a remarkable journey to the pristine Kitlope ecosystem, and the ancestral homeland of the Haisla and Henaaksiala people. Student Courtney Berdan summed up the trip as “one great adventure, with a whole lot of little adventures within it.” The Cultural Anthropology class, and Instructor Sheree Ronaasen, were hosted by the Nanakila Institute Society, Chair Gerald Amos, Director Nancy Nyce and Rodney Smith, on the cultural tour to the Kitlope. The First stop along the Gardener Canal was at the old village site at Crab River. After landing on shore, students walked carefully through the giant Devils Club, to learn about the harvesting of Balsam bark, and traditional medicines. While anchored at Crab River, students also helped bring in the crab traps and, like Berdan, for some it was a first to hold on to a live crab. Later on, students experienced how to shell crabs, which Nyce transformed into beautiful crab cakes. The first overnight stop was
at Europa hot springs; surrounded by ferns, students relaxed in the thermal water, and shared their experiences from the activity-filled day. The next day, the tour proceeded up the Gardener Canal, and stopped at a special island, to learn about important plants, including rice root, silverweed, and how to harvest yellow cedar. The students proceeded along the fjord to view the steep glacier carved rock walls of the upper Gardener Canal. After setting the prawn traps, students spent the night at Kemano. The group was fortunate to have a special tour of the Oolican camps, and learn about the processing and importance of these little fish. Over supper, students were captivated and privileged to see across the Wahoo river three huge grizzly bears river grazing on eel grass of the tidal estuary. After departing at the 5 a.m. high tide, students were excited to participate in the retrieval of the prawn traps, and to see what came out of the water. “I never knew prawns could grow so big”, said Parker McKenzie. The cultural tour proceeded along to the end of the canal, to the estuary of the Kitlope River and the old village site of Miskusa, where the replica of the G’psgolox pole
stands today. Students learned of the remarkable story of the return of the original pole from Sweden. For the complete story, refer to the NFB production Totem: Return of the G’psgolox Pole.
The last night was spent at the Kawesas Lodge. Students reminisced about their experiences on the tour, and tried to savour every last bit. Supper was superb that night, highlighting fresh prawns
from the sea. “This was the best trip ever,” said Tracey McKay. “You will feast like kings.” The Kitlope Field School is part of a larger special summer Field Schools and University Credit program offered by NWCC. Overall, the summer Field Schools—across the three campuses of Terrace, Prince Rupert, and Smithers—offer students the chance to learn on the land with First Nations people in the amazing geography of the Northwest. These Field Schools are unique to post-secondary education in the province and Canada. On behalf of the class, instructor Ronaasen thanks the College and Nanakila for supporting this unique and powerful educational experience, and for building strong relationships in the community.

Small town memories My brother Ryan will be tying the knot in our hometown of Williams Lake this August. In this case he actually did marry ‘the girl next-door.’ Living across the street for years, Ryan and his wife-to-be Chantel never said a single word to each other. It wasn’t until years later in Vancouver they met at a party through a mutual friend. The thing I look forward to most about weddings, is how they bring people together. I was fortunate to grow up in a time where cell phones were not rampant in high school, and words like facebook, youtube, and twitter didn’t exist. My friends and I had a healthy addiction to soccer. My dad, a PE teacher with summers off and twin boys on the team, had the means to provide us with all the practice time we could want year round. We had a group of players that stuck together from the age of 11 right through graduation. Instead of playing regional rivals like Quesnel or 100 Mile House we were a town of 10,000 that would play the likes of the Alberta and Saskatchewan provincial teams and win. It was the commitment to training and willingness to travel and play the best that made the difference. That said, we all became the closest of friends, and eight of us went on to play soccer at the CIS university level. In the 10 plus years since our graduation, the town hasn’t produced another. It may sound odd, but on a nice day I sometimes walk around the field at the now defunct Anne Stevenson Secondary and reminisce. This was the place where we practiced and cut our teeth as soccer players. I look at the hill where we did hill-climbs to end practice; I remember always shooting on the net with the portable behind it so the ball would rebound back to us; I remember having Canadian Soccer heroes Bruce Wilson, Ian Bridge, and Dale Mitchell run clinics in Williams Lake of all places. I remember dad tossing out hundreds of soccer balls for Ryan and I to shoot and watching him chase them down for us and do it again. I’d say ‘throw me a right footed one-timer along the grass,’ and he’s toss me a full volley to my left foot that I’d scuff into the clouds. “Right foot” I’d yell at him, and he’d say something like “In a game do you get to ask what foot you want?” Today, only myself and one other player from that team still call Williams Lake home. As with all small towns, people leave and few return. Many of us now have wives, children, careers and are scattered throughout Canada. The times that we do come together for an event are so few and far between that we have learned to cherish them. Sean Glanville

rise to approximately $38 billion, according to an investigation by the TV network Sky Sports. Really? Does anybody care? Perhaps some Montrealers do – after all they were the victims of Jean Drapeau’s flights of fantasy, but I suspect there’s little sympathy from other taxpayers in Beijing, Vancouver, London or any of the other sites of the Olympics boondoggle over the years. So sit back and enjoy it – if that’s what you want. Turn them off – pull the plug on the tv, radio and computer, turn off your smart phone, don’t go to a bar and don’t buy a newspaper for the next few weeks if that’s your preference.

Me – I’ll watch some of the events – but since it’s not Winter Olympics, I’m unlikely to get up early or stay up very late to see any of it. Danny Boyle’s skill at spectacular opening and closing ceremonies don’t appeal to me at this time and I’ve seen enough fireworks for any one year already after New Year, July 1 and July 4.

From page 1 “Adrian Dix spoke to us and he said he thought all these small efforts to raise awareness to the dangers of the Enbridge pipeline are a great thing so it was wonderful to hear him commit to stopping the pipeline as well,” said Wiley.

A brief Facebook comment showed me I wasn’t the only one feeling this way.

God will grant true happy ever after Happy Ever After Isaiah 52:7, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness and salvation.” You have likely heard of the Grimm brothers…Wilhelm and Jacob. In the 1800’s they set out as an act of patriotism to collect the folktales of Germany and publish them; stories like “Rapunzel and “Hansel and Gretle.” What they had in common was that they began, “Once upon a time” and ended “And they lived happily ever after.” What you may not know is that this is not how
these stories were originally written. The original stories rarely had happy endings and were filled with death and mayhem. It was only when the brothers Grimm realized the commercial value of these stories…that people wanted happy endings, that they changed them. So, how’s happily ever after going for you? I don’t really need to ask that question. It has been said, “The only people with no problems are those in cemeteries.” So if you are reading this that means you are alive; and if you
From the Pulpit Redeemer Lutheran Church
Pastor Clint Magnus are alive, then that means that you have problems. What many people want to know is, “If God is a loving God, shouldn’t He want me to be happy…problem-free?” Well, the truth is, God does want you to be happy. When He 1st created the universe and put our 1st parents in the Garden of Eden
everything was perfect and they were very happy. But in their pride they rejected God’s perfect creation, in effect saying, “We don’t want the happiness you have provided for us, we our own brand of happiness. And with that, humans began a centuries-long, futile search for something they could not attain. But you see, God does indeed desire a “happy ever after” ending for you. That’s why He sent His Son, Jesus Christ to live a perfect life and then give that sinless life on the cross as payment for your sin,
so that if you repent of your sin and receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you will be forgiven and receive eternal life. When the Holy Spirit causes you to see that you cannot create your own happy ending…when you throw up your hands in despair, He comes to you with this wonderful message of eternal salvation through simple faith in His Son. Through faith in Jesus Christ, God rewrites the ending of your life and instead of death and mayhem, He gives you a true “happy ever after” forever in Heaven. This is His free gift and it is for you and it is for me…amen.
Congratulations!

Golf night comes to a grizzly end This week’s Ladies’ Night at Kitimat’s Hirsch Creek Golf Course came to a “grizzly” end -- literally. Play was suspended during Tuesday night’s action when two grizzly bear cubs and their mother took over Hole Number 15 and refused to leave. Of the 35 ladies registered, only 16 completed the back nine. Last weekend, Hirsch Creek hosted the Kitimat Ladies Open -- with women competing as four-member teams or individually.
154 athletes and 34 coaches from the North West (Zone 7) competed at the 2012 BC Summer Games. Thank you to the coaches, officials, volunteers, and families who support these growing champions. See photos, videos and results at www.bcgames.org

There’s no way to thank you enough, Mom, for all the things ngs you’ve done for us throughout the years. You’ve always sacriďŹ ced ed without complaining, And loved us all unconditionally, Often with very little recognition or gratitude. What we feel in our hearts is often not easy to say; the perfect words are not there to convey all we want to tell you. Your life has been a journey of love, of grief, and of courage. Raising us four children was a feat in itself: you persevered and we are who we are today, because of you. And thank you for all your faithful prayers that you’ve lead throughout the years for your family and friends. nds.
