Escort service proposal brings up questions Cameron Orr There’s no escort service in Kitimat just yet and council has directed staff to bring forward further information on how such applications were handled in other communities. Council heard the report from deputy treasurer Lyle McNish, who looked into the Regional Municipality of the Northern Rockies’ [RMNR] handling of a similar situation. The District of Kitimat has received a letter from a prospective business owner which sets out the entrepreneur’s intent to seek a business licence for an escort service. The only change since the letter was received and administration compiled their report is that the applicant is now likely to establish a call centre office out of town, in Prince George. That still leaves questions as to how to include provisions for escort services in the town’s Municipal Code. So far there are no direct references to such businesses however as administration has learned there is not much legal recourse to prohibit such businesses, as Canada’s Supreme Court has upheld the legality of escort services. The town can’t deny a business licence unreasonably, and because the business would be legal in the eyes of Canada’s laws, to deny such applications would be deemed unreasonable. “We don’t have any apparent reasonable reason to refuse such an application,” explained McNish. It was suggested to councillors in the staff’s report that they include a number of restrictions including hours of operations (such as only between 5 p.m. and 4 a.m.) as well as requiring a process for recording the employees and clients of the business. The proposed definition of an escort service, as defined in other municipalities, is a “service business or agency run by a licensee that charges or receives a fee for providing an escort for social occasions...” In their further research, councillors will look over the legal opinion received by the RMNR. That opinion and a summary of is available on the RMNR website. In that legal opinion it sets out much of what McNish explained, and it also notes that a bylaw cannot infringe on criminal law. So a bylaw cannot make illegal what is not illegal under Canada’s Criminal Code. “Local governments cannot ban escort services and/or adult oriented businesses from their communities on primarily morality grounds,” the legal opinion summary states.

Lodge concept pitched to town The company PTI Group held a public information session at the Rod and Gun Club for a work lodge proposal. The word “lodge” is key for the company which specializes in accommodating industrial workforces for special projects. PTI Group CEO Ron Green pointed out that the company does not call their locations “camps”. Sean Crockett, vice president of business development, explained to a near full house that they will eventually seek zoning for a 2,100 room lodge. Each standard room is approximately 130 sq.ft. and includes a private bathroom. They plan to locate east of Kitimat General Hospital, and Crockett said it would be a five minute walk to the downtown core. The company would, he said, work with local contractors to construct

projects as their lodge would require acthe lodge. Crockett also said that their lodge cess to services such as water and sewer proposal would “buffer” the demand for which would need to be developed.

Three people attended last week’s Committee of the Whole meeting to see how the issue played out, and a brief post to the Sentinel’s Facebook page that this issue was coming up was met with dozens upon dozens of comments, mostly expressing upset over the proposal. Acknowledging the sensitivity of the subject, councillor Edwin Empinado wanted to ensure the public could have their input on any possible decisions. “There must be a point where we could as a District receive some comments from the public,” he said. Administration will provide a follow-up report on the subject at a future meeting, a date which was not yet set as of press time.

Does Northern Health have a role to play in escort service businesses? Not according to their media spokesperson Eryn Collins. In a telephone conversation she explained that Northern Health does have a role to play in “personal service establishments,” where a service is provided to or on the body of a person. That category includes barber shops, beauty parlours, massage parlours, saunas, steam baths and other such businesses. Escort agencies, therefore, do not fall under their purview.

Animal killed After a female moose was shot dead along Hwy 37 between Terrace and Kitimat, B.C. conservation officers are sending a message to moose poachers. Stop. On Jan. 10 near Williams Creek Bridge, conservation officers discovered a three-yearold cow moose that had been shot in the early hours of the morning. They waited to see if poachers would later return to pick up their prize. They didn’t. The moose is the tenth to be shot illegally this season, and conservation officers say they suspect someone shot out of the window of a vehicle due to the proximity of the animal to the road and a lack of human footprints seen in the snow.

Meetings unique in Kitimat The Sentinel reached out to its sister newsrooms to find out how other communities enjoy their democracy, and compared that to the way our council meetings are set up. For the most part all reported back that nearly all meetings are held inside an official city hall or municipal office.

There are exceptions though. For example Grand Forks once held an outdoor council meeting. Many others will change venue if they think it’s going to be too crowded, going to a theatre or a high school instead. And Ashcroft councillors once made-do with a hotel room while they were away at conference.

College is pleased Even though councillors may have had some reservations about taking up precious space in the Kitimat Northwest Community College Campus, the community/industry/ education liaison for the campus is thrilled with their choice. In fact having council move their meetings to a classroom in their building is something he has been working towards for months now and their presence will not only not hinder their programs but actually improve them, said the college’s John Ross. “We see it as an enhancement to our college,” said Ross. Public administration is one of the courses being offered at the campus now and he said such a move improves the quality of education. “With council being there we actually have a real chamber for these students to get experience in. It’s wonderful,” he said. He added, “It’s definitely not going to detract from any programming in the Kitimat campus. We find it a very beneficial relationship.” Further to that, Ross said the

biggest bonus for him out of this deal is that it proves to the community that he’s serious about improving the local campus. Ross said he’s working to find a partner to open a millwright shop in Kitimat for locally-based training as well. “We had gotten a grant to buy this equipment but we don’t have any space for it,” he said. He’s talking to several industries in the community on this subject. He noted that while there is a trades shop based in Terrace, that’s not what they’re trying to do for local training. “The idea is to bring education to Kitimat, for Kitimat,” he said. He said there’s a lot of training and education programs down the road for the campus that the college is excited about. Other plans include professional driving courses, air brake programs, first aid, some university courses and upgrading courses. “It’s heading down the road we want it to. We want it to be a centre of learning excellence in Kitimat.”

and sewer, as well as parking, so it would help keep costs low, she said. “It’s very demeaning to be in an area where we have to be in a college... there’s no other community in B.C. that’s doing that,” she said. Some councillors took exception to the word “demeaning”. Councillor Phil Germuth said the plan to move to the college is the most cost effective solution, and was against using trailers from earlier discussions because of cost. Mario Feldhoff countered that accessibility is the key issue. “What is demeaning is people with disabilities who can’t come to our council meetings,” he said. Rob Goffinet called the college plan “prudent,” as it’s a rent free option. Corinne Scott as well had issue with calling the situation demeaning. “To say that it would be demeaning is a very huge disservice to Northwest Community College,” she said. Monaghan clarified that it wasn’t the college she finds demeaning, but rather that the mayor and council must have meetings in other facilities rather than their own. The Northwest Community College is offering a classroom in the campus at a zero-dollar rent. However council did vote at the same meeting to spend $10,000 to expand the room. The move and renovation will mean going from a

Greyhound has been given the thumbs up to cut bus service to B.C.’s northwest. The Passenger Transportation Board has approved an application by Greyhound to cut services to Terrace and other locations along one of its major bus routes in northwestern B.C. In a decision dated Jan. 10 and amended on Jan. 15, the board approved a company proposal to reduce service along Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert, from 22 weekly runs down to 14 weekly – or one way each day – after Greyhound cited it could cut its losses by $6.75 million by trimming service across the province. The two routes Greyhound wants eliminated run overnight – one west from Prince Rupert to Prince George and the other east from Prince George to Prince Rupert.

Cameron Orr Councillors at last week’s Committee of the Whole meeting settled on a classroom at the college campus in Kitimat as the new temporary home of council meetings. That was one of seven possible locations that administration compiled for council to consider. Before Christmas councillors toured all the locations, but a decision was postponed from late in 2012 when mayor Joanne Monaghan had been missing meetings due to an injury. Councillors wanted to ensure everyone had a say. There was a lot of back and forth with various amendments to the motions but in end the classroom won out, despite some councillors’ concerns that their presence at the college may preclude further programs from setting up locally. As well during the debate mayor Joanne Monaghan pitched an entirely different plan than the ones presented for council’s consideration, and hers called for dedicated council chambers in their own location in the currently vacant lot next to the veterinarian on Wakashan. That plan called for clearing the lot and selling the trees to support the building costs, then using trailers to build a facility. That facility could later be moved, or converted for other uses, for example possibly housing the Youth Center which is currently at Riverlodge, she said. That lot is near to all services such as water

How do you solve a problem like escort services?

The rolling boil that is the escort service controversy in Kitimat has highlighted two things for me; even with the ‘boom’, there are shadier sides to prosperity, and two, people seem to have fuzzy ideas about where business comes from. Lets just get this out of the way; yes, escort services do not jive with my moral perspective on life, but legally that is not enough to forbid business. Escort services are, like it or not, considered a legal business. You’ll have to take that issue up with lawmakers. So now councillors now are faced with an unprecedented task for Kitimat, and that’s to figure out how to make rules for an escort service. The proposal that’s looking at Kitimat right now may never come to pass but clearly we’re unprepared for the advent of “adult oriented” businesses. Don’t worry though, I have an idea, although it may seem counter-intuitive. The proponents now, according to deputy treasurer Lyle McNish who presented this policy issue to councillors last week, want to establish a call centre in Prince George, rather than have offices set up in Kitimat. That actually gives Kitimat the perfect in; if you want to work here, you have to be here. Yes, I just said an escort service agency should have an office based in Kitimat if they want to work here. My idea is to create a category in the Municipal Code for “adult oriented services”, in which an escort service would be placed. Within those regulations, anyone wishing to operate such a business within the municipality would have to have a physically accessible office in town. That would open the business up to business licence inspections and effective bylaw enforcement matters. Better than dealing with an office and management based hours away. That would also allow the District to get involved in zoning for such a business. Need an office, need to be zoned. More red tape which slows anyone down. I obviously do not have a law degree on my wall (if I did I would have to seriously wonder how I became a newspaper editor) but I would think such rules would just barely skirt the whole “unreasonable refusal” problem the District has now. Meanwhile a lot of Facebook comments on the Sentinel’s page indicate people would rather see other businesses in town, and suggest we say no to this but bring in better business. Continued on page 5

Too stuffed on a glut of news stories The last six months have been more than a little hectic, don’t you think? That’s not to say the previous six months were any less hectic but they are already fading into the distance. I’m not talking personally, as much, but I mean just the wide-open rushing of time and traumatic current events, locally, nationally and around the world. And sometimes it’s too much to take in all at once. I’m talking about being just a little tired of everything that has crowded the news over the past year or so, but particularly recently. I’m gagging on fake hunger strikes, Occupy and Idle no More protests, in fact protests in general, be it teachers, public service workers or nurses, even circus clowns with red noses, if they are ever angry enough to protest about the cramped conditions in that little car. I just don’t want to hear about the downturn in housing values in Vancouver, it’s still an obscene market. I am rapidly becoming disinterested in whether the Northern Gateway Pipeline ever winds its way across northern B.C. and loads super-tankers in Kitimat for the Orient and California. This company needs to review its approach and its reputation and come up with something more palatable if they have any hope of building support

Under Miscellaneous by Allan Hewitson in B.C. Personally, I’m also weary of waiting for meaningful announcements of actual progress by the numerous LNG and pipeline outfits lined up to exploit the potential of B.C. LNG through the ports of Kitimat, Prince Rupert or Kitsault - to the general benefit of northwestern B.C. and the Canadian economy. I keep reading that other jurisdictions, minus the many of the frustrating delaying complications of LNG in B.C. are edging ahead. It may be a big market (multibillion dollar investments are not everyday occurrences and caution is certainly a necessity, with i’s dotted and t’s crossed), but surely some more frequent and more detailed communications would have a great value and continue to build local support. Oh, and I’m tired of organizations such as the Commonsense Canadian website’s spray gun tactics and their unceasing attacks on anything involv-

ing energy or the B.C. government (not that I have any axe to grind on behalf of the bumbling B.C. Liberals.) It’s a tired website preaching to the converted. The NHL is back but I’m still nursing some grudges with the league and its billionaire owners, but that’s at a different level of simple inconvenience and missing something you’ve used to help eke you through the long cold winter and increasingly the spring! The US election drove me batty (that was a lot more than just a long, long year, too) and the evidence that the newly elected are as just as frozen and intransigent as ever when it comes to dealing with the wholesale gun murders of their children simply sickens me. I don’t want to hear any more of the second amendment rights debate. This week’s NRA TV ads are an abomination. There’s an awful lot more going on that irks me but since I know this is just a combination of advancing age and winter time cabin fever that encompasses event-and-protest overload. So I’m going to employ the “time out” principle and try to focus a little more internally and less on those external things I can’t do a lot about at least in the next couple of months.

A word on the mayor’s words Fire department Dear Sir, Well here goes my New Year’s resolution! I was not going to say exactly what I was thinking but I can’t let this go by. I’m sure those who read newspapers, online news, etc., have already read this. It was in the Financial Post and Globe and Mail — among other places — on January 14, 2013, under “LNG plans for Kitimat.” When the mayor appears more excited in having Tim Hortons here than the fact that billions of dollars are being invested into the community and surrounding areas, I feel something is not quite right. Yes, it’s great we have Tim Hortons but I’m sure our citizens are just as excited about all the other projects — Shell Canada, Apache/Chevron with Kitimat LNG, RTA’s modernization, etc., that hopefully will provide jobs so friends, neighbours and family can move back home. As far as a ferry for Kitimat, well you already

know what I think about that. Not just me but if you read “West Coast Ferries Forum” online you’ll see what others think about it. As far as someone “forced to wait at three traffic lights,” before making it home, well we only have three traffic lights and if they happen to be red, I guess you have to wait! Better than “going right on through.” Hopefully this community is excited about the happenings going on and helping all our businesses to flourish. Well once again these are my thoughts and comments, so don’t get your knickers in a knot. One more comment: regarding the application for a grant from the golf and curling club, I’m curious to know how much the other recreations in town are subsidized? I bet it’s a whole bunch! (For example, Tamitik, Kitimat Ice Rink, Riverlodge, the pool and playgrounds.) Keep smiling, I’m watching and listening. Roma Burnett

must wait for budget The Kitimat Fire Department will have to wait until February 12 before they know for sure that they’re getting the money for a new technical rescue truck to replace the ones already in their fleet. Fire Chief Trent Bossence asked for pre-approval for the technical rescue/support vehicle, which would require pulling $486,569 from their vehicle replacement reserve, as well as $166,131 from general revenue. It was brought forward for preapproval because the time span to put to tender and purchase a truck would take essentially the entirety of 2013, said Bossence. Mario Feldhoff put forward the motion to bring it to the February 12 budget session because he felt it was a large purchase that he would rather consider in the broader context of the budget rather than approach it “piecemeal”. “A few more weeks is not the end of the world for this particular item,” he said. That said he added that he’s not

necessarily against the actual purchase of the items. When taken to a vote, Rob Goffinet and Mary Murphy were opposed to waiting to February 12, but that wasn’t enough to get the preapproval. The vehicles in question being replaced by the fire department is a 1989 Ford F350 (referred to as Service 11) and a 2008 Hazmat trailer (referred to as Hazmat 11). While Hazmat 11 has a lifespan to 2018, Service 11 is actually passed due. It was scheduled for a replacement as far back as 2004. The proposal by the fire department is to replace both of those units with a single, multi-use vehicle. The replacement vehicle would have four abilities: high angle rescue, confined space rescue, hazmat operations and emergency ground support. A report says that they are also looking at the possibility of using the vehicle for vehicle extraction as well.

Too stuffed Continued from page 4 I’ve been made well aware of a number of things I’ve overlooked or studiously ignored for quite some length of time and its incumbent on me to get at a couple of them. But I know I’ll never be able to prevent myself from reading and listening to the news, observing current affairs and becoming a bit passionate about the things that do continue to “get my goat.”

So it can’t be an overall “time-out,” just a breather, a change of reaction levels and even, hopefully, a bit of an opportunity to re-energize and step back from some of the things that still make me want to croak. Now it remains for me to do what I forgot to do three weeks ago wish all my readers good health and a happy New Year in 2013. ahewitson@telus.net

Escort solution Continued from page 4 I feel it’s important to note that the town itself hasn’t brought an escort agency in, it’s a private operator with their own

plans. If we want to see new businesses in town, someone needs to bring them in. And to that I would also add, if someone out there has a wish

to see a certain kind of business brought to Kitimat, now may be the best time to jump on that bandwagon themselves. Cameron Orr

Museum gets funds Following a presentation from curator Louise Avery, the Kitimat Museum and Archives will be getting $10,000 from council to go towards new display cases. That came from a motion for pre-approval for the funds, which will actually be leveraged for more money. Mario Feldhoff pointed out that the $10,000 investment means the

museum can potentially get $25,000 through other grants to go towards what are called Logic Exhibit Systems, and will be used to house the museum’s Haisla traditional and contemporary collection. With council’s money Avery anticipates receiving $10,000 from the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund which can provide 50 per cent of eligible projects, plus other donations.

GATEWAY perspectives

A decade of careful planning The Gateway pipeline is a state-of-theart project, in terms of safety and environmental sensitivity. And I can assure you that doesn’t happen overnight. In fact, it’s taken more than 10 years of extensive, careful, and diligent planning to ensure Gateway is one of the safest, most environmentally responsible projects of its kind. Our team of engineers and scientists has taken great pains to ensure that the proposed pipeline route is almost entirely made up of pre-existing corridors of activity, such as logging roads, forestry roads, cut lines, or other “previously disturbed” areas. Our engineers, and experts familiar with B.C.’s terrain, have also spent years using the most advanced technology available to identify and mitigate any potential geohazard risks — such as landslides, rock fall, avalanches, seismic issues, and marine clays. We’ve worked hard to minimize the risks, and ensure the safest pipeline route possible, with extra measures such as deeper pipe burial, tunnels, and special pipe design. Last summer, we also announced a $500-million package of enhancements to make an already extremely safe project even safer. Those safety measures included: boosting the overall wall thickness of the pipeline; fitting the pipeline with dual-leak detection

analysis systems; bumping up the frequency of in-line inspection surveys to a minimum of 50 per cent above current standards; adding nearly 100 remotely operated isolation valves, bringing the total to 264; and staffing of all our pump stations 24/7. The planning doesn’t stop, either. Working with environmental groups, First Nations communities, and government agencies, our engineering team is constantly refining the route — with nearly two dozen amendments to date. Safety and respect for the environment have been our primary considerations in charting the Gateway pipeline route over the past 10 years. And that’s not about to change.

12 Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, January 23, 2013

Demons end on high note Contributed The Kitimat Ice Demons achieved 6-2 and 5-4 wins over the Houston Luckies on January 12 and over Smithers Steelheads on January 13 to wind up the 2012-13 regular CIHL season schedule. The Ice Demons executed well on Saturday night and controlled most of the play in their 6-2 win over the Luckies. With over 730 fans in place the Demons took a 3-0 lead in the first period and never looked back. The Demons came out a tad slow in the third and goaltender Brett Vilness was victimized on an Alonzo Slaney shoot in that bounced awkwardly off the boards, coming out on the open side of the net where Blair Dinelle was in place to slide it under the goaltender before he could get back to his left post. The Luckies got another goal back on a mishandled puck that allowed Blair Dinelle in alone on Vilness to score at 16:46. As-

sists went to Derek Dinelle and Brandon West. On the Sunday, after their unexpected 3-2 loss in Prince Rupert on Saturday, the Steelheads had Mike Wall back in goal for the last game of the season but were still short some important players like Jody Pederson, Rob Millar and Randall Groot when they took the ice against the Demons. Just six seconds after the first face-off, Ian Coleman found himself in the box for a hook and even short-handed the Smithers power play was effective and the Steelheads had the lead 1-0 in 34 seconds with Ian Smith snapping an Eric Smith pass behind Tyson Craven on the power play. The Ice Demons pulled into a 1-1 tie at 16:27 when Brandon Wakita connected off a pass from Jordan Goncalves, but while the Demons were raising their sticks in celebrations some pushing broke out behind the net and when it was over two Ice

Demons, Derek DeLisser and Jeff Baker found themselves accompanying Smithersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Adam DeVries to the penalty box, all for roughing after the whistle. Smithers got the lead back on that power-play, with Darryl Young getting the puck under Craven at 16:08. An angry DeLisser coming off the penalty box didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it to the bench as he collided with a Smithers player, pushing him and earning a swift 10 minutes misconduct penalty. The penalty parade returned to Kitimat in the last four minutes in the third and Jeff Baker was in the box on a hooking call that had the crowd booing and Baker enraged. The Smithers power play went into action and again it was Adam Devries (Darryl Young) pulling the trigger leaving the Demons 3:37 to kill in the game. They were doing fine until Nick Markowski was called for goalie interference at 1:40.
