Regional district hears pitch for lower marina fees at MK Cameron Orr Is MK Bay Marina too expensive? That’s the topic that has been posed by both Kitimat resident Doug Thomson, and Retire Kitimat committee member Margaret Sanou to the regional district. Sanou attended the Sept. 14 Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine board meeting where she presented her case for a new fee structure at the marina, while Thomson submitted a letter with his concerns which appeared in the board’s agenda package. On behalf of Retire Kitimat, Sanou made a pitch to change the way fees are charged, suggesting that Kitimat area residents receive a discounted rate, to encourage people to come to the area. She said that she’s aware of people who have taken their boats to other marinas — notably Port Edward’s — and knows of at least one person who has decided to retire in Kitimat who has had their boat permanently grounded because they cannot find space at the marina. The aquatic features of the community have changed for Retire Kitimat since they were established in 2010. When they started both Moon
Bay Marina and the Hospital Beach boat launch were open and in use, said Sanou. Both have since closed, moving more the demand to MK Bay. “Many boaters find the prices charged at this launch when combined with the price of parking their vehicle to be prohibitive,” said Sanou in her presentation to the board. She said that there wasn’t immediate discussion to her presentation but she admits that their ideas are not ones that would be implemented overnight. “Originally when I brought this idea forward the two things that I thought would really make Kitimat an attractive place to retire were the low housing prices combined with access to fishing and boating on the Douglas Channel,” Sanou later told the Sentinel, noting places such as Vancouver Island do not have the affordable housing available here. “There’s many things that make Kitimat a good place to retire but boating is something that we can offer that many communities can’t,” she said. “It’s something that we were using to promote Kitimat and it’s difficult to do that when there isn’t more available.” Continued on page 3

Scott defends regional district vote The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine has thrown in their opinion that the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal is no good for the region. The district board passed a motion that they oppose the project. Among the opponents of the motion was Kitimat Council appointee Corinne Scott, however she said that her vote against it at the regional district does not indicate support for the pipeline. Rather, she had no choice but to vote and voting ‘no’ was the only way to maintain the neutrality position that Kitimat Council has taken. “I support the process that’s put in place by the National Energy Board to review all aspects of the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline,” she said. She reiterated the council’s position to wait until the Joint Review Panel (JRP) releases their recommendations
before they decide whether to support or oppose the project. However, based on the rules in the Community Charter, which applies to her position as a director on the regional district board, she could not abstain from voting, an action some people have told her she should have taken.
“I support the process that’s put in place by the National Energy Board.” She explained that unless there’s a conflict of interest, a representative either on councils or regional district boards has to vote — failing to raise your hand in a vote is consid-
ered a vote in the positive. “We can not abstain from voting,” she said, a position she spoke to at the Sept. 17 Kitimat council meeting. Voting in favour of the motion at the Sept. 14 board meeting were Telegraph Creek director David Brocklebank, Dease Lake alternate director Joey Waite, Terrace municipal directors Dave Pernarowski and Bruce Bidgood, Nass director (and regional district chair) Harry Nyce, Hazelton mayor Alice Maitland, Kispiox/Kitwanga director Linda Pierre and Diana Penner (who was sitting in for absent regular director Doug McLeod) for the area around Terrace. Voting against the motion were Thornhill director Ted Ramsey, Kitimat municipal director Scott, New Hazelton mayor Gail Lowry and Stewart municipal director Billie Ann Belcher. Continued on page 3

High numbers not necessarily sign of high crime in statistics Even though certain areas of crime are spiking in comparison to 2011’s statistics, Cpl. Darryl Peppler, who spoke to the monthly policing report to Kitimat Council last week, said that it’s not always an indication crime is spiking in the present. Namely he pointed to the 10 sexual assaults that had files opened in 2012, against the seven in the entirety of 2011. In that case, he said many of the cases, up to 90 per cent, are historical, as in they’ve happened as early as one year ago or as long as 40. “A person comes forward at their own time, there’s no statute of limitations,� he said of sexual assault cases. And while impaired driver files are nearly on par so far with 2011 (42 so far, against 44 in 2011), he said proactive policing is the cause for seeing a higher trend than last year. With construction accelerating in Kitimat, he said there have been few effects on crime stats in relation, but there are places they’ve noticed the increase in people. “The only thing that we’re comfortable saying that we can attribute to the camps is traffic,� he said. RCMP in Kitimat have been working with Bechtel and Apache relating to issues around con-
struction and Peppler said that the two companies have been “fantastic.� In year-to-year comparisons, assaults with weapons/assault causing bodily harm has surpassed 2011 with 14 to last year’s 13. Common assaults currently sit at 72 against 91 last year. Robberies were at zero for the month of August, compared to four for 2011. Threats against person is at exactly half of 2011, at 33 so far this year. There were three residential break and enters in the month of August this year, bringing the total up to 17. There have been six vehicle thefts (including motorcycles and quads) this year. There were 24 cases of mischief to property in August, bringing the number of files this year to 116. Peppler said that they can attribute a spike in mischief over the summer to a small group of youth and that they’ve been identified as police work with the youth’s parents. Meanwhile prison statistics at the RCMP detachment show 28 prisoners held in August. That accounted for 235 guarding hours billed to the District of Kitimat while the province picked up 40 hours for their bills.

Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, September 26, 2012 3
Cameron Orr Murray Minchin with the Douglas Channel Watch group updated council on the latest happenings relating to the Joint Review Panel (JRP) review of the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline project. Minchin’s subject this time was a letter from the Department of Justice seeking to submit new evidence to the review relating to seismic information in the Douglas Channel. Studies on the waterway have revealed a new fault line and the discovery of historical submarine landslides. The report is titled Submarine Slope Failures and Tsunami Hazard in Coastal British Columbia: Douglas Channel and Kitimat Arm, and was prepared by the Geological Survey of Canada. The evidence of these two historical slides — which occurred up to 10,000 years ago — indicates a moved volume of material greater than that of a known “slope failure” that occurred in the Kitimat Arm in
1975, which generated a tsunami with waves 8.2 m high. This new report is preliminary and more time is needed to gather more data, explained Minchin at council. However he said new legislation may make timelines too constricted to get the work done. Recently passed legislation called Bill C-38, “makes it unlikely that the Natural Resources Canada investigation of the seismic hazards in the Douglas Channel will be understood in time to make an informed decision.” Minchin also referenced an earlier promise from Enbridge that seismic activity would influence their decision to build. “When Enbridge first came to Kitimat they said they would never build a pipeline in a seismically active area,” he said. With this information presented, Minchin turned his attention to the council, asking them to attempt to influence the JRP to allow this new evidence into the review.
He had no immediate reply to that question, but he also had two others: one, asking if any councillors had shares in Enbridge, and also what the liability is for the District of Kitimat relating to possible spills. On the subject of liability, Minchin said that the District of Kitimat was the owner/operator of the private Port of Kitimat. Mario Feldhoff countered that belief saying he believed the port was operated by individual shippers and that a single body did not manage the entirety of it in the way Minchin described. Minchin replied that within Enbridge’s proposal for the project Kitimat is mentioned, by the company, as the manager of the Port of Kitimat. “If not you then who?” he asked. On the matter of shares in the company, Feldhoff said that financial liabilities and assets have to be reported by councillors and that such information is public.
Marina cost Continued from page 1 She said the aim was really just to plant the idea in people’s heads. “There have been people who have come to retire in Kitimat because of the boating,” she said. “That’s not the only reason people come to retire in Kitimat but it is an important one.” Meanwhile the letter from Thomson touched on many of the same issues. “...moorage for visitors and residents alike is almost non-existent, and there seems to be no move from the regional district to expand MK Bay to provide for the demand,” he wrote. He said that he’s not a boater himself but realizes the value of boating access for people coming
to the area. “Apparently the launching fees charged are also prohibitive to those who must store their boats on land because of lack of moorage,” his letter continued. The Sentinel tried reaching marina manager Richard Smeal however he is away. Kitimat board director Corinne Scott did say that there was no discussion on the matter at the Sept. 14 meeting but that it is a topic on people’s minds, including the District of Kitimat’s. “The District of Kitimat council recognizes [water access issues] and we’re working on seeing what we can do to provide more water access,” said.

Coninued from page 1 At the meeting, Scott said that “Voting against it is to oppose the political process and I feel strongly we have to allow the JRP to complete its findings.” Bidgood said the review was supposed to be independent and not political and that he had been greatly influenced by the prime minister and federal finance minister supporting the project. “What attracted me to northern B.C. was its beauty,” he said. “If there was an environmental [disaster], I would have a hard time looking at the next generation and saying I didn’t do anything to oppose it.” Ted Ramsey agreed with Scott, saying his constituents wanted him to remain neutral.

“HIV does not change who you are.” – TAMMY Mother, daughter and Positive Frontline Warrior
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.

Land deal good but was District left out? As most people heard last week, the provincial government signed a Haisla Framework Agreement with the Haisla that gives them the option to lease or buy up to 700 hectares of land from the province for the main purpose of getting liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities developed. It’s an interesting set up, and could make development a bit easier along the west side of the channel. Beyond the economic benefit that this means, my initial thought was that if the Haisla are directly involved in the development of a terminal, in some capacity whether just as landlord or as a venture partner, it could streamline development by addressing right off the bat any potential land rights issues. And that’s good. But there are questions. Firstly, whose land is it that the Haisla now have access to? Initially I just assumed it was undeveloped Crown land. However through my sneaky journalistic ways, namely reading just a little further in the government’s press announcement, I see that the land is actually District of Kitimat’s. “This is undeveloped and unserviced land within the boundaries of the District of Kitimat,” the government’s release said in their backgrounder document. Very interesting, then, that not a single representative of the District of Kitimat was on hand for the Framework signing. In fact I don’t believe any reference was made to the District of Kitimat regarding land at the Sept. 7 press conference. I’ve tried on multiple occasions to reach someone at the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconcilliations office for comment on this Framework and what it means for the District but so far communication has been silent. I hope I haven’t confused anyone into thinking I’m against this deal. I think it’s definitely good news. But as the land is, by the government’s admission, land that was within the municipality’s boundaries, I wonder why no one was invited to the big announcement. Cameron Orr

heading for the Mexican border and safety from pursuit by the law. Well, there’s a manhunt on for 130 prisoners who got away in a mass breakout from a Mexican jail – close to the Texas border. They tunnelled out. More like “The Great Escape” - but will they head north or south? Most I expect will go east to Texas. Now there’s a big border. Meanwhile, 40 guards and the prison governor were arrest after an armed gang helped 53 prisoners escape from another Mexican jail. This one sounds like they had designated drivers.

Most married couples have no children in Kitimat stats Newly released census numbers shed light on who exactly makes up our community. Statistics Canada released their new numbers on Sept. 19.This third tranche of data shows household compositions and marital statuses. A total of 3,620 are listed as being married, with another 760 as common-law. Meanwhile 2,555 are counted as not being married at all or living with a common-law partner, in our town with a population of 8,335. Households of just two people make up 1,415 of people’s living situation, by far the most common number in a household. Five-hundred-and-twenty people live in a private household of three people. Homes with four people make up 425, while five or more persons makes up just 170 people’s situations. There are 1,765 homes occupied by a married couple, but most have no children at home (980) than do (785). For those that do have children, it’s an even split between households than have one child (325) and those with two (330). There are 390 lone parent households, 270 of
those being women and 120 being men. The average number of children at the home of a census family is just .9. Meanwhile there are definite differences in the 2011 census to the last one released in 2006, as our population went from 8,990 to 8,335. The number of people who are legally married has gone down while common-law arrangements have gone up. There were 4,075 people married in the 2006 census, so 2011 shows a drop of 455 people in that regard. People who are common-law rose 95 from 665. Nationally, the census saw a 5.5 per cent increase in the amount of families, and while married couples remain dominant at 67 per cent of those families, their data shows their share has decreased over time. Common law couples saw their share of family life increase 13.9 per cent, far greater than the rate of growth for married couples at 3.1 per cent. All of the data released is available online at www.statcan.gc.ca.

MP gets wish at JRP hearings Skeena - Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen welcomed a ruling last week from the National Energy Board’s Enbridge Joint Review Panel approving his request to cross-examine federal officials at technical hearings for the proposed pipeline. Cullen will question Department of Fisheries and Oceans officials on key issues related to application of the Fisheries Act, net loss, habitat protection, and water crossings. “My questioning will be specific to the role of the federal government. The response of DFO to the Panel’s requests for comment and risk assessment has been disappointing and in need of clarification. I expect to get such clarification through my questions,” he said. But yesterday’s ruling de-
nied Cullen’s request to also cross-examine officials from the departments of the environment, natural resources and transport, a decision that frustrates Cullen. “These departments hold key aspects to the public’s understanding of the project and the government’s role in the process. Their responses to the questions I seek to ask are important to my constituents and to all Canadians,” said Cullen. “The full impact of the proposed project will be difficult to know if the hard questions cannot be asked.” Cullen said he and his Official Opposition colleagues will continue to press the Conservative government on the Enbridge project in Parliament and the media. “The government should
still answer these questions, unless they know that Canadians won’t like the answers.” The technical phase of the Enbridge JRP hearings began in Edmonton two weeks ago and focused on economic issues. The more contentious issues will be addressed at hearings in Prince George, where questions will center on the design and safety of the pipeline, and in Prince Rupert, which will examine tanker transport and marine safety. Cullen is scheduled to question government witnesses by telephone mid-October and in person during the November 22-30 sitting days. Technical hearings are scheduled to end in Prince Rupert on Dec. 18. Final arguments will take place in March and April 2013.
Get some Banff for your buck If you’ve ever wondered why tight roping across a gorge feels like you may get your chance Oct. 6. That is, from the comfort of a theatre seat. Kitimat Search and Rescue are again hosting their major fundraiser by bringing to Kitimat the Banff Mountain Film Festival. (BMFF) Each year a selection of films, from five minutes long to an hour, are brought to the Mount Elizabeth Theatre. But feet-dragging Kitimatians should act quickly. Search and Rescue member and festival organizer Kelly Marsh said that it looks like they might be on track to sell out the show. Tickets cost $15 and are sold either through Search and Rescue members or at Pyramid Printers.
Marsh does warn parents thinking of bringing their kids that some films do have mature content and that he recommends kids under 10 years old not come. The money from this fundraiser goes towards purchasing life saving equipment for SAR. Those items include inflatable avalanche rescue bags, beacons, probes, shovels and stretchers, among many other items. “We’re not funded by the government so this is one of the rare opportunities we get to fill the coffers a bit so we can purchase much needed equipment for the year,” he said. Marsh said that people can get an early taste of what the viewing will bring by typing 2011/2012 Banff Mountain Festival into Youtube to see a preview.

T he self-proclaimed “geezer gang,” from left, Jim Terral, Mike Gilfillan, Keith Wiley and Tim Nixon travelled in the Kootenay to Kitimat Caravan. Back in their hometown, they will be hosting a public event to share their experience on the road and start planning future action to oppose the 1,177 kilometre pipeline that would carry bitumen from Alberta oil sands to the coast of Northern BC to be loaded onto oil tankers. “Now that we’re connected with a bunch of people up there [in communities along the proposed pipeline route], we can’t let them down,” said Keith Wiley, who travelled in the caravan from July 16 to 26. “We were very clear that we’re in this for the long haul, and we’ll fight this to the end,” Wiley said.

GATEWAY perspectives
Building skills Respect has been the cornerstone of our relationships with Aboriginal groups across Canada. That’s respect on their terms, not ours. And that means having an understanding of, and sensitivity to, the values and the issues that are important to them. When we started talking to Aboriginal communities about the Northern Gateway Project, they told us, unequivocally, that they wanted meaningful, long-term involvement in the labour force. That’s why we established a $1.5-million Gateway Education and Training Fund — and it’s not dependent, in any way, upon Northern Gateway regulatory approval. This fund supports training initiatives based in the pipeline, construction, and energy sectors. It is not training for the sake of training; it is totally focused on employment outcomes. And along Northern Gateway right-ofway communities, Enbridge is already connecting industry and community to help create Aboriginal career opportunities. Catherine Pennington, Northern Gateway’s Supervisor of Community Education, Training, and Skills Development, reports that we’re already co-funding training programs for surveyors and ironworkers. We’re purchasing seats in existing Aboriginal trades programs, and partnering with provincial and federal bodies to help develop skilled tradespeople in the areas
Join the conversation at
of heavy equipment operation, pipefitting, welding, and construction craft labouring. We’ve also co-ordinated the first of many “workforce connections” workshops, bringing together representatives of Northern Gateway equity First Nations and companies with labour-force needs for some meaningful employment discussion. We’ve heard, loud and clear, from Aboriginal communities that they don’t want to be bypassed anymore by economic opportunities created within, near, or around them — and we’re doing something about it. The Gateway Education and Training Fund shows our commitment to community and workforce development. We want to be connected to the Aboriginal community and not just because it makes good business sense. It’s about partnership. It’s about responsibility. And, ultimately, it’s about respect.

PUBLIC NOTICE
RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT
This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, November 19, 2012 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, February 18, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act.
This screen grab from CityTV’s The Bachelor Canada show website shows Tracy de Medeiros’ bio page. While listed as a being from Victoria, the grad student is actually a former Kitimat resident. In fact in a question and answer sheet on her profile website, she reflects on her time working as a labourer in Kitimat. “I drive a mean John Deere!” she says on the site. Many people in the community have rallied in support of her role as a potential love interest for the titular Bachelor, Brad Smith, through a Facebook page called Support Tracy De Medeiros (The Bachelor Canada). The show airs Oct. 3.
Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the Province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.
Initiative Advertising: Individuals or organizations who sponsor initiative advertising, other than the proponent and registered opponents, must register with the Chief Electoral Officer before they conduct or publish initiative advertising. Registration applications are available from Elections BC. Who May Sign the Petition: Registered voters as of Monday, November 19, 2012 may sign the initiative petition. Individuals may only sign the petition once, and must sign the petition sheet for the electoral district in which they are registered at the time of signing.

The Northern Gateway Project is generating healthy debate. British Columbians are asking many important questions like, is this pipeline worth it for BC and its northern communities? The benefits that the Northern Gateway Project will bring to British Columbia are significant. It will create jobs, generate new tax revenue for BC, and strengthen the province’s economy.
New jobs will be created... Many people will be employed to build this project. Here in BC, over 3,000 high-paying construction jobs will be created during the building phase. And over 500 new long-term jobs will open up when it’s completed–jobs to monitor and maintain the pipeline, jobs at the Kitimat Marine Terminal, and indirect jobs in areas such as food and hospitality, accommodations, and transportation. And all right here in BC.
Over $800 million will be spent on local goods and services... During construction, hundreds of millions will be spent in Northern BC on equipment rentals, worker accommodations, trucking and fuel, just to name a few. Businesses will grow and new jobs will bring a steady source of family income, as well as opportunities for young people right out of school. All of this will have a positive impact on local businesses and community stability.
Local communities will have a brighter future... On top of new jobs being created, the project will generate $40 million per year in new tax revenue for BC–that’s $1.2 billion over a period of 30 years. This will make a difference to local communities who can use it to build facilities and strengthen public services.
Enbridge will also provide an additional $100 million to support communities near the pipeline in BC and Alberta. We are also committed to partnerships with Aboriginal communities–funding will be provided for community investment, scholarships and education programs, and Aboriginal business opportunities will be created.
People will learn specialized work skills... Individuals from towns near the pipeline will be given the opportunity to learn the skills needed to work in the energy industry. Enbridge has created the Gateway Education and Training Fund, a $1.5 million commitment that will support training initiatives that focus on pipeline construction skills. The knowledge and experience acquired during the construction phase will serve them well as the demand for skilled workers in the energy sector here in British Columbia, Canada and around the world continues to increase.
New global markets will open opportunities for new growth... As it stands, Canada relies on just one customer for its oil exports. The Northern Gateway Project will provide access to the growing economies and the huge markets of the Pacific Rim eager for our energy, which will increase Canada’s Gross Domestic Product by at least $270 billion over 30 years. So not only will the residents of British Columbia see an increase in tax revenue, employment and long-term job opportunities, they will see the economy strengthened in both their province and country as a new gateway to more trade partners opens up.
The project will bring significant economic benefits to BC. Discover more and join the conversation at benefits.northerngateway.ca.

Brian Kieran , Campbell River Mirror The abruptly ended employment of Campbell River’s fire chief, formerly of Kitimat, appears to have taken jobless Dean Spry and some of his colleagues by surprise. On Tuesday their City Manager Andy Laidlaw issued a terse release that stated: “On Sept. 14, in an agreeable separation, Mr. Spry stepped down as fire chief.” Spry, reached at home, was painfully careful about how he characterized his sudden departure. “I came here for a reason … things came to an end,” he said. However, he added: “It came as a surprise to them (some fire hall colleagues) as well. “I don’t have much to say,” Spry said. “it was a mutual agreement.” The former chief, who left Kitimat for the position three years ago, said he is looking for work. Whether he stays in Campbell River is “not determined. My family would like to stay. My wife just got here a year and a half ago.” Reid Wharton, president of Local 1668 of the International Association of Fire Fighters, said: “I’m not sure what’s involved.” He said there were no obvious issues boiling under the surface at the fire hall. As for morale, he said: “We always have our struggles with the city budget.” CONTESTS CONTES TS PR PRODU ODUCTS CTS STORE STORES S FLY FLYERS ERS DEALS DEALS COUPO COUPONS NS BROCHU BRO CHURES RES CATAL CATALOGU OGUES ES CON CONTES TESTS TS PR PRODU ODUCTS CTS ST STORE ORES S FLYERS FLY ERS DE DEALS ALS CO COUPO UPONS NS BRO BROCHU CHURES RES CATAL CATALOGU OGUES ES

Guide to dealing with tsunami debris The provincial Ministry of Environment, together with the federal government, are getting the message out to watch for tsunami debris on Canadian shores. In a joint release the government states that earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan in March of last year washed a lot of material into the ocean. They say that over the next few years it is expected that debris will be arriving on B.C.’s coast. In response to the likelihood of debris, they have included a list for the public to follow should they find any: - In general, report debris that can be attributed to the Japanese tsunami to DisasterDebris@ noaa.gov. - Be safe; if you don’t know what it is, don’t touch it. If the item appears to pose an immediate life safety risk, call 9-1-1 or your local police (250-632-7111). If the items appear to be hazardous be doesn’t pose an immediate risk, report to the provincial spill reporting line at 1-800-663-3456. - Whenever it is safe, consider removing litter and recycling any plastic or metals. Removal of large items or personal possessions should be done only in consultation with land managers. - Items that appear to be personal belongings related to the Japanese tsunami should be treated with respect. Report them to DisasterDebris@noaa.gov with as much details as possible. If possible, move the item to a safe location and include the location in your e-mail report. - In the unlikely event of hazardous items like drums, fuel tanks, gas cans or cylinders, or chemical storage totes wash ashore, do not touch them. Also do not open any 10 inch aluminum insecticide canisters that are sometimes found in high tide areas. If you find any of these, contact the B.C. spill reporting line. - If you find a derlict vessel, report it to Transport Canada at 604-775-8867, or e-mail pacnwppenpac@tc.gc.ca. - While it is extremely unlikely to find any human remains, if you do observe any, call 9-1-1 with information on what you saw, but do not attempt to touch or move the remains. Further information is available online at www.tsunamidebrisbc.ca.
Finance committee sets a schedule The provincial all-party select standing committee on finance will be in Kitimat on Oct. 15.

The committee will also be meeting in Prince Rupert the same day. Venues have not been announced but people can register for a public hearing by call 1-877428-8337, or e-mailing FinanceCommittee@leg. bc.ca.

Terry Fox spirit lives on in Kitimat Cameron Orr Kitimatians continue to keep the spirit of Terry Fox alive as another year of the community Terry Fox Run wraps up. On Sept. 16 people gathered at the Riverlodge to sign up to pledge money to cancer research, then they took off on their walk (or run) that would take them around the Kildala area. In all 25 people attended the event, raising $1,195. Christine Doherty is this year’s new coordinator for the event, taking over from Anne Berrisford who had headed the event for numerous years prior. Doherty is thankful to the community for contributing to such a great run. She also notes that next year’s event is already scheduled for Sept. 15, 2013. Ian Closs and his wife Eileen will certainly have that date circled on their calendar already. The couple have been participating in Terry Fox Runs since they began in 1981. Ian explained to the Sentinel what makes Fox such an inspiring person as he flipped through several scrapbook albums of newspaper clippings of stories relating to Terry Fox and the annual marathons.

At right, Ian Closs shows off some of his newspaper clippings relating to Terry Fox which he has collected over the years. Cameron Orr ter his injury but was inspired seeing Fox doing his run. “From then on I stopped feeling sorry for myself,� he said. Admiration of Fox ran in the family. Ian said he remembers an exchange between his father and himself when his father, watching Terry Fox on television, said “There’s a real hero.� The wording caught Ian off guard. “My father was a career soldier...I never heard him say that kind of thing.�
Ian’s admiration of Fox remains and will continue to do the Terry Fox Runs as long as he’s able. “I admired the man so this is my way of paying back,� he said.
