Mayor awarded Queen’s Jubilee medal Sean Glanville Kitimat mayor Joanne Monaghan was presented with the Diamond Jubilee Medal for Kitimat at Tuesday’s Council meeting. The medal marks the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s accession to the throne, and to celebrate the Queen’s dedication and service to Canada throughout the Diamond Jubilee year.

Monaghan was one of many Canadians bestowed the honour of the prestigious award in recognition of dedicating her life to the service of Kitimat over the 35 years.

“It was a big surprise; I was very honoured, these don’t come easy,” said Monaghan.

Upon Monaghan’s arrival in Kitimat in the 1970s the town was still very much in its infancy stages after the development of Alcan in the 1950s put the town on the map. She has since dedicated her past 40 years to helping others and improving lives throughout the community.

“I always believed in help-

ing others. When I came here 40 years ago it was a relatively new community so there was a lot of things that could be done so I just wanted to make a better community for people.”

Some of Monaghan’s accomplishments include being mayor since 2008 and service on Council for 35 years. She was the first woman to serve as President of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) for two consecutive terms (1994-1996) and during her tenure with the organization was responsible for the ground breaking Provincial legislation that recognizes municipalities as the third order of government.

“When I was president of the UBCM I looked at the constitution and municipalities were listed between saloons and asylums and because they were in that position they couldn’t get any funding from the government,” noted Monaghan.

“I said I’m gonna get that changed and they said you never

will since it’s in the constitution.

The last day I was president after my second year I got the premier and the deputy premier to sign that we were now in third order of government and able to get funding.”

During parliament when our Prime Minister mentions third order of government, we can credit that to mayor Monaghan’s hard work.

Monaghan is the only person to serve as president on all municipal elected official organizations at the local, provincial, and federal level including the Northern Central Local Government Association, UBCM, and Federation of Canadian Municipalities. She also spent eight years as a board member for the BC Heritage Trust and five years on the Northwest Community College board.

Monaghan’s passion for politics began from simply attending council meetings when her ex-husband Paul Monaghan was mayor of Kitimat.

Chinese delegation visits District set to decide on fate of Cain The District of Kitimat hosted Chinese dignitaries last week including her excellency LIU Fei, Consul-General with ambassadorial rank of the People’s Republic of China in Vancouver.

Her and some colleagues were in town to get a first hand look at perspective economic development opportunities in the region.

“Her excellency LIU Fei and her entourage were here to look for what’s available for investment with China,” said Kitimat mayor Joanne Monaghan.

“The purpose of the trip was to be more acquainted with what Kitimat had to offer in terms of investor development; she was very interested in possibility for the economic development industries to invest money.”

The Pacific-Rim partnership between Canada and China has never been more crucial as China look to procure resources such as Liquified Natural Gas.

China named LIU Fei its new Consul-General for Vancouver this past November replacing Liang Shugen.

LIU Fei, 55, is a former Chinese ambassador to the Pacific nation of Micronesia and was China’s first consul-general to Brisbane, Australia.

The main function of the Chinese Consulate General in Vancouver is maintaining and accelerating the trade relationship between China and the British Columbia and the Yukon Territory.

Their goal is that bilateral trade between China and Canada and economic cooperation will continue to grow in the future.

Under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Commerce of China, they provide trade/investment policy updates and business information for governments, Non-governmental organizations, companies and individuals of the both sides.

Sean Glanville A rally is scheduled Friday evening in front of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine (RDKS) offices in Terrace just prior to their 6:45pm meeting to help save German Shepherd Cain.

The meeting will discuss the fate of Cain, who this past April was seized from his owners by RDKS dog control for aggressive behaviour and taken to the Thornhill Animal Shelter where he has since been placed in a kennel until he awaits his day in court.

With Cain’s court date tentatively set for December, he is looking at eight months inside a kennel, and his owners and the Kitimat Humane Society feel the dog’s living conditions are inhumane.

Activists are fighting for Cain to be transferred from the Thornhill shelter to the Kitimat

Animal Shelter where he will receive an upgrade in care and quality of life.

“We are rallying people in support to sign a petition to get the dog released into a better care facility. We just want to take care of him and give him everything required to keep him healthy and stop him from going kennel crazy until he has his day in court.,” says Kitimat Humane Society manager Mary Ann Oullette. “We have vaster programs, we have dog handlers, the dogs are not locked down into kennels for more than eight hours if that, and this is seven days a week.”

Oullette mentions that the Thornhill shelter does the best they can with what resources they have but there are certain things they can’t offer the animals.

“They don’t have a volunteer base, the dogs only go for

walks with the animal handler if they have time, and they give them toys in the kennel but if he’s locked down every day from 5pm until 8am the next morning that’s 16 hours a day Monday to Friday.”

Oullette also adds that on weekends it’s even worse because people only come in long enough to clean and feed so animals are locked up more than 16 hours.

Murray Daly. RDKS Bylaw Enforcement Officer, feels the animal is being treated properly at Thornhill Animal Shelter and there is no reason to transfer him to Kitimat.

“The dogs not being treated inhumanely, it’s housed, it’s fed, it’s provided all the necessities of life including human interaction and by no means is it being treated poorly,” said Daly.

Disabled parking changes Kitimat water access top priority Changes are on the way for disabled drivers in Kitimat.

Council passed a motion Monday night to increase the size of handicap parking stalls to a minimum of 13 feet wide.

The change comes after a study by the Advisory Commission for Persons with Disabilities says the current size of the stalls isn’t enough space for disabled people to enter or exit their vehicles.

Kitimat Councillor Edwin Empinado says he personally knows people dealing with this issue. “One of our committee mem-

bers recently parked in a regular sized disabled parking stall, and there was somebody who parked beside him and he had to wait 30 minutes for that driver to come because he was in a wheelchair and he cannot get into the car�

According to Councillor Corinne Scott, the current stall sizes are up to the province’s regulations.

However, Scott mentions “... the advisory commission tested the parking space with wheelchairs and walkers before determining there isn’t enough room for the disabled drivers to access their vehicles.�

Sean Glanville For a town that is touching the waters of the Pacific Ocean it is has definitely been difficult to access the water this summer.

Kayaking and canoeing in Kitimat haven’t been easy lately because of this lack of water access. “We have to get water access for our community, that’s very, very important,� said mayor Joanne Monaghan. “Not only for kayaking and things like that but just general things like taking a family to spend the afternoon at the beach.�

Right now the closure of Hospital Beach makes it difficult for paddlers to get to the ocean without having to pay a steep fee at the bay.

On Monday night Kitimat Council decided to put one of its advisory committees to work to find a

solution for people who want free marine access.

The Leisure Services Commission now has the job of creating a report detailing what can be done to aid the citizens of Kitimat in kayaking and canoeing.

for office and I won,� said Monaghan.

Despite having a steady dose of politics on her plate over the last four decades Monaghan also ran two local businesses. For 37 years she operated Ye Wise Owl Shoppe in the City Centre Mall which was an import store specializing in native art and picture framing as well as a Helicopter Hiking company called Peak Experience which is still in operation.

Monaghan is extremely optimistic about the future of Kitimat, calling the town a sleeping giant. “I think development and expansion is going to continue. I always said even when I came here 40 years ago Kitimat because of its location it’s like a giant waiting to wake up, and it’s waking up right now,� explains Monaghan. “There’s so many things yet that I want to do.�

When Monaghan decided to run for council she was told she can’t because she was technically not a Canadian citizen. “I was supposed to be a citizen but there was some glitch and the court citizenship didn’t come up here, so I flew down to Vancouver went to citizenship court, got my citizenship, came back and ran

Decision on Cain

READERS WRITE

“Oppositely, when all their pent up energy is not being released they can become kennel crazy and become the aggressive dog that they have been labelled as.”

The Thornhill shelter has been reluctant to transfer Cain to Kitimat over liability concerns, something Oullette feels should not be an issue.

“The RDKS is saying they refuse to transfer the dog to our facility because of liability risks. I’ve told them they can waive all liability risk by having us sign a waiver saying we absolve them from all of that but they don’t want to hear it,” says Oullette.

Dear Sir, Thanks for taking time to care! Another successful TAG-DAY was held June 22, 2012. We are pleased to tell you we realized the sum of $1482.

The auxiliary to the Kitimat General Hospital likes to send a heartfelt thank you to the people of Kitimat for their generous support.

It shows that Kitimat still cares for others.

The money we raised will go towards the purchase of equipment for the hospital and multi-level care unit.

sit in tiny kennels for months or in some cases years at a time.

The problem with animals sitting in kennels for such prolonged periods is that they can either go kennel crazy from pent up energy or the reverse and become severely depressed and lethargic.

“If they keep animals under these conditions one of two things can happen.

They fall into such depression that they will themselves to die or become so lethargic from the depression they end up with other illnesses that you have no choice but to euthanize them to relieve that stress,” explains Oullette.

awaiting his fate.

“Cain’s court date is tentatively set for December and he’s been sitting there since April and his court could still get postponed so we don’t want to see a case like Diesel where he is sitting in a kennel for 17 months,” says Oullette.

There has been a recent outcry from B.C. residents to revise animal control by-laws to allow for cases where an accusation of aggression is contested.

They also want cases to be heard and resolved in a timely manner, or some kind of bail must be applied so the animals don’t

leges that Cain came out of nowhere and bit the three-year-old on the arm and tore the pants of the other and scratched at the other.

This story has garnered national and international attention from many animal rights activists and there are online petitions to save Cain.

Similar cases have been seen in the media of late as Global TV recently did a feature on an Alaskan Malamute named Shadow who was just released from a Kelowna facility after several months.

Another Kelowna dog, a German Shepherd cross named Diesel has been held now for 17 months and is still

The actual incident surrounding Cain is very hearsay with a lot of surrounding circumstances. Allegedly, there were kids playing hockey in the street and Cain was being chased by somebody with a diesel truck trying to catch him for the owner when a mother was walking down the street with her three children.

Ode to the days of film, VHS, and CDs The past 10 years has seen a lot of change. In 2002, the majority of us were still developing film, purchasing CDs, renting movies, and would occasionally take advantage of a pay phone.

I remember my first job at McDonalds when I was 16 paid me minimum wage of $7.15. I’d work about 14 hours a week, leaving me with about $100 of disposable income. The sad thing is I was a huge music fan and would not hesitate to spend upwards of $20 on a CD, sometimes for only one or two good songs. If you do the math, I would have to work three hours flipping burgers to pay for one frickin’ CD. At the turn of the millennium, the first file sharing program Napster made downloading music available. Today one can pirate any movie, tv show, or song they please from the internet. Yes it’s illegal but good luck trying to police it.

When I worked at the Williams Lake Tribune in 2001-02 as sports reporter I could have paid off Liberia’s deficit with the money spent developing film. Taking hockey photos, it was terrible lighting in our arena and it’s such a fast pace that I’d snap hundreds of photos and be lucky to get one decent shot.

I also miss the candid moments from photos you would catch. Today if there’s anything not perfect about the picture when we look in the viewfinder we click delete. Some of those bizarre moments and imperfections were the best part of getting your photos back from the lab.

Funny how in hindsight everything always seems better then it actually was. I have embraced all this modern technology but must admit a part of me does miss the way it used to be. I miss the days where you would take in your rolls of film and anxiously wait to see how your pictures turned out. I miss taking that new CD out of the plastic and listening to that one song over and over. I miss having no cell phone but getting so many calls from friends my parents set up a teen line for us in the basement. I also miss going to the video store only to find that 30 seconds earlier someone scooped up the final copy of the one you wanted. Thus, leaving you and your friends browsing every title on the shelf until finally making a reluctant decision 20 minutes later.

No shortage of Olympic controversy I really didn’t want to go back to the subject of the Olympic Games in London.

I hope I was clear in my earlier opinion that the IOC and the Olympic Games (doesn’t really matter, winter or summer) comes down to what is generally a corrupt and over-powerful organization running a big business sports event in an incredibly unsporting manner.

The London Olympics have been rife with numerous controversies and incompetent officials as well as having the usual failure of providing the economic bump so frequently promised.Add some truly galling and arrogant official interference and some peculiar decisions requiring selfinterested international sports governing bodies to continue to demonstrate their individual levels unfairness, if not true commercial corruption.

Toss in various governments (topped I suspect, by the UK and the USA) scrambling to outspend one another to provide a national advantage – and, most sadly, add endless, almost daily demonstrations of cheating and unsporting manipulation resulting in expulsions and disqualifications for athlete participants.

The British Olympic experiment of combining five nations into one seems to have succeeded in terms of a miscellany of unexpected medals -- and to no-one’s surprise the teams from the world’s largest nations in population have lined up, as expected, parading huge teams into the Olympic venue and dominating the medals podium.

Overall, a pretty ho-hum experience for skeptics. It’s not over yet, as I write, but some quick observations come to mind. Do any other nation’s fans create instant “mob scenes” to hol-

ler wildly like the fans of “USA, USA, USA?” FIFA was clearly out of line dealing with the aftermath rather than the symptoms resulting in Canada’s ladies soccer team being squeezed out or perhaps even robbed by poor reffing decisions, to lose narrowly, but ignominiously to the USA powerhouse team. The Prime Ministers of Canada and France were quoted critically in the wake of unexpected results and (post opening ceremonies) doping monitoring seems to stagger to a halt.

Boxing results were also clearly influenced by ineffective officials, but the sport took only about half of the hard decisions taken by badminton officials.

Will we ever hear the results of the multitude of investigations into the seat sales and ticket scams that were even more widespread in these Olympics than ever before and left vast areas of so-called sold out seating glaringly empty at many venues. I doubt it.

Why did there appear to be so many more “heart break” stories around Canadian athletes than any other team? Losing badly and sadly, could be a post-Olympic Canadian TV reality series for TSN this winter.

I wonder how many refugee claimants will wind up in welfare apartments in London when the Games are over and done? The UK taxpay-

ers continue to shake their heads in utter frustration.

The host country was involved in many of the controversies in London – Spain’s field hockey authorities promised “serious consequences” as their men’s team was manipulated out of medal contention and GB advanced following a series of late critical umpiring decision “overturns.”

British cyclists admitted crashing deliberately in the Velodrome, to force a race restart after they failed to get away the way they wanted.

No real reaction...

Defending Olympic show jumping champion, Eric Lamaze of Canada threatened to quit riding for Canada as Equine Canada failed to react to an irreversible decision to disqualify a Canadian horse from the competition...

FINA, the international swimming association is pondering underwater monitoring after a South African gold medal swimmer admitted to cheating by taking more than permitted underwater “dolphin” kicks. Media, however was able to demonstrate the South African’s claims were accurate.

There was even some mild controversy when cameras were fitted to the keels of some sailboats to improve TV visibility for viewers. Not all boats were fitted, but all boats had similar weight added so there was no real discrimination.

Ah, the Olympics and controversy – side by side, moving forward. And it’s not all over yet, as I write...but I won’t be back to cover it. As I said earlier, we can think what we like, but the Games are hardly a democracy... Just keep watching and marvelling about the balancing act between politics and sport!

How to raise kids who care

(NC)—Parenting requires more than just feeding and clothing our children. It’s also important, parents say, to make sure we raise a caring and happy person.

Research shows that one of the best ways to feel good about oneself is to help others, and it’s never too early to teach that to children. Here are some tips for raising a kid who cares: Praise empathetic behavior: When you see your child do something nice for someone, point it out and give them praise. This will help reinforce that doing good deeds is a positive action.

Teach politeness: Good manners not only are important as a skill, they are a way to display respect for others.

“Please” and “thank you” are the best starting points; teach your child that if they want something from you, they need to use the word “please”. Also be sure to use these words

yourself, to set a good example and make them part of normal conversation. Ensure your children treat store clerks, waitresses and babysitters politely as well to show they appreciate them.

Involve them in charitable activities: Acts of kindness are a great way to encourage empathy in your children.

Discuss how you are going to donate a bag of used clothing and why, or get them to help you cook a meal for a sick neighbour.

Some contests, such as the Genworth Canada and Habitat for Humanity’s “Meaning of Home” contest, encourage children to think about others.

The contest asks children in grades 4, 5 and 6 to write a short essay about what home means to them, and the winner gets to donate a large sum of money to Habitat for Humanity.

Encourage them to think of others: Before you let children quit a sports or school team, discuss ways their absence will affect their team mates. Make sure they respond to phone calls and answer emails and thank people for gifts they receive.

Give them chores: Raising a responsible child means they will likely be a person who cares as well.

Encourage them to take ownership of a household chore, like setting or clearing the dinner table. This will boost their confidence, and instill the importance of helping others. www.newscanada.com

A Statement from Enbridge

The Facts On Pipelines Enbridge operates the largest and most complex liquids pipeline system in the world. We’re proud of what we do—helping to provide reliable energy to many millions of people across North America every single day. Over the last decade alone, we’ve transported nearly 12 billion barrels of crude oil with a safe delivery record better than 99.999 per cent. That’s good but, for us, it’s not good enough.

Any incident tells us that we must do even better. We will never stop striving for 100 per cent.

Operating a complex pipeline system is by its nature a challenging business. This is not new.

Enbridge employees have successfully met these challenges for over 60 years—by placing safety at the heart of our operations. We constantly strive to do better. Particularly when it comes to the integrity and viability of our pipelines—which is, and must always be, our number one concern.

Pipeline safety has been much in the news lately, and so it’s important to give the issue some context— to look beyond the latest headline and recognize the outstanding long-term safety record of this important energy delivery system. In fact, decades of experience have shown that pipelines are by far the safest, most efficient method of transporting large volumes of oil. Historically, pipelines have had the least amount of releases of any mode of oil transportation. As a result of strenuous efforts within our industry, releases have actually decreased over the past decade—both in terms of the number of releases and the amount of product released.

Our goal at Enbridge is—and will continue to be—the prevention of all spills. In 2011 alone we invested about $400 million to ensure the safety and integrity of our system, and that amount is set to increase substantially—to more than $800 million—in 2012. Over the past two years we have doubled the number of staff dedicated to leak detection and pipeline control systems, and substantially strengthened our focus on the tools, technologies and strategies to ensure the fitness of our pipelines.

This is not new, but rather part of an ongoing effort to be the best in the business. In the past decade we’ve invested more than $3 billion in safety, integrity and new technology—and we’re planning more investment going forward. We continually evaluate the condition of our pipeline system to ensure long-term reliability and integrity.

Enbridge is a Canadian success story, with a hard-earned reputation as a responsible corporate citizen.

In a rapidly changing world we will continue to build on that foundation by continuing to adhere to a strong set of core values that reflect what is truly important to us as a company: the safe transportation of energy that millions of people rely on in their daily lives.

Sports & Leisure Marlins tested against nations best Four swimmers from the Kitimat Marlins qualified for their biggest swim meet of the season, Age Group Swimming Nationals in Calgary, Alberta.

Over 1400 of Canada’s best swimmers aged 11 to 18 from across the country were in attendance making for some extremely tough competition.

The competition was held at the Talisman Center in Calgary.

With racing in two 50 meter pools and a dive tank used for warm up and warm downs it is one of only three pools in Canada large enough to host the event.

Kyler Cordeiro

(17) swam to 100 percent personal best times in his five races at the meet with his best placing 14th in the boys 17-18 year 1500 meter freestyle.

His time in the event also broke the points north record for the fastest 1500 meter freestyle done in a 50 meter pool in Northwest BC regional history.

His time of 17:33.60 broke Mathew Ross’s time also of the Kitimat Marlins of 17:43.67 established in January 1999.

Kleanza Cathers (12) competing in her first National level competition had her highest placing in the 1500 meter freestyle, a 13th place finish for

the 12 and under girls division.

She also finished 13th in the 2.5 km open water swim.

Alivia Salema (12) competing in her first National level competition had her highest placing in the 12 and under girls 1500 meter freestyle, a 17th place finish.

Arthur Firmino (18) competing in his first National level competition had an excellent meet swimming to 100 percent personal best times.

His highest placing was in the 1718 boys 200 meter breaststroke, a 40th place finish.

Kyler Cordeiro and Arthur Firmino also joined Brian Dohler and Brett Zol-

len from Smithers for Points North Relays.

In their 200 meter freestyle relay they where able to break the Northwest Regional Points North record in the 15 and over boys division.

There time of 1:43.70 shaved off 3\10 of a second from the old record of 1:44.02 from Jan 1, 1996.

It was an emotional time, it was the last time the boys will swim together.

Arthur Firmino, Brian Dohler and Brett Zollen have all graduated and are all attending Universities in September.

All plan on swimming with their respective university teams.

Demons awards picnic

Derek Wakita, received his most dedicated player award from team manager, Terry Marleau, right.

Photo submitted Instead of holding its annual spring player awards dinner, the Kitimat Ice Demons Senior Men’s hockey team chose to invite spouses, kids, sponsors and friends to celebrate their 2011-12 season award winners with a summer picnic and BBQ cook-out at Radley Park in Kitimat.

It was the Demons’ 10th season-ending awards event and the awards were well divided between veteran players

and more recent team members.

Three awards were presented to Ice Demons’ veteran defender, Jeff Mildenberger, who was again named the team’s top rearguard and who was also honoured with the Central Interior Hockey League’s best defenseman award.

In addition, Mildenberger won the Ice Demon’s top scorer title, with a season record of 22 points, four goals and

18 assists, despite playing in only 16 of 18 of the Demons’ games.

Veteran Brett Vilness was named the team’s top goaltender for the season.

Vilness finished the regular season with a 3.23 goals against average, winning four of the six games he played during the season.

He also won two games in the Coy Cup championship series.
