Oil refinery money in place David Black says he’ll build his own pipeline to carry crude oil from Alberta if that’s what it takes to supply a massive refinery he wants to build on the Dubose plateau north of Kitimat. “I have the financing. That’s not a problem,” said Black last week following a presentation to the B.C. Chamber of Commerce March 6. Black provided an update on his project first announced last August to build a 550,000 barrela-day refinery supplying Asian and other customers with gasoline, diesel and jet fuel among other products. The cost is now in the $25 billion range and Black said he has a general agreement with his company called Kitimat Clean to line up the money through the Swiss-based Oppenheimer Investment Group although more detailed negotiations have to take place. “I hope to sign a financing [memorandum of understanding] within 60 days,” said Black of the debt-financing for the project. But first he needs “I think it would to demonstrate he has customers for the rebe very, very finery’s output and difﬁcult now Black expects to have for Enbridge to a memorandum of understanding, called an win.” off-take agreement, in place within a month. Black wouldn’t comment on whether those potential customers include any of the ten companies who have provided Enbridge with the seed money for its Northern Gateway Pipeline project. It’s those companies who have interests in the Alberta oil sands and want to ship the raw product overseas but who, for now, lack a way of getting their product to the coast. But Black did say the generally accepted business model for refineries elsewhere is for their owners to also own the pipelines supplying the raw product. “Then you’re dealing with suppliers who are locked in,” said Black, adding that it’s a more efficient way to do business. Black wouldn’t comment directly on whether he’s considered asking Enbridge to sell its Northern Gateway project but he has told Enbridge its concept of shipping crude to the coast through a pipeline and then having the unrefined product taken overseas won’t be accepted in B.C. “I’ve thought a lot about that,” said Black. “I think it would be very, very difficult now for Enbridge to win.” Enbridge is now in the middle of extensive public hearings and a final decision to accept or reject the project is expected from the federal government late this year.

More PTI questions answered Cameron Orr PTI Group executives were in town for a second community open house to talk about their proposed work lodge just off from Kitimat’s downtown core. The event provided people the chance to catch up on the details of their proposal while also allowing PTI representatives to field questions from the public. Earlier questions included inquiries into the availability of health services for such a large facility. Sean Crockett, the company’s vice president of business development, noted that health services is a government responsibility, however their facilities do enable health services, and by that they mean their facility can be designed to reduce burdens in the emergency room. “We can create space for medical service contractors for physiotherapists, for doctors, for dentists,” said Crockett. That said, he also pointed out that

the workers aren’t coming to Kitimat because of their lodge, but because of the other, major industrial projects being proposed. PTI Group director of business development Bob Greaves said that they have been working with Northern Health in Kitimat to develop ways to provide health services on their site, such as allowing nurses to check blood pressure and provide diabetes support on site. The company also answered questions relating opening their lodge to more public events. Crockett said it’s not necessarily the business they’re in but “with the permission of the community,” they could open up for special events such as hockey tournaments. But, “If that’s competing with a local hotelier’s business, we wouldn’t do that.” Project legacies are still to be worked out but he mentioned possible future uses of their land to be converted to recre-

ational uses such as trails. Their core site though would likely be sold, as a fully serviced lot at the time they’re finished. But they wouldn’t leave behind an abandoned property, he said. PTI Group has purchased one site and has a purchase offer on another for land east of the Kitimat General Hospital, in the Strawberry Meadows area. They propose to construct a workforce lodge that could eventually house up to 2,100 people. They say that the facility would be a five minute walk to the downtown core, which would provide retail benefits to businesses. Crockett said in an ideal world they’d have the first few hundred beds set up by October but because of various factors such as public consultations and the ongoing work to prepare site zoning and work to amend the Official Community Plan — which is taking place with the municipality right now — he expects an opening around April of next year.

Refinery

Continued from page 1 Part of the challenge for Enbridge is from the company’s Kalamazoo, Michigan spill in July 2010 and the company’s own failure to win acceptance for Northern Gateway, said Black. And that means a fresh start without Enbridge might be considered, said Black. “I do think pipelines can be built safely,” said Black, adding that Enbridge’s own Northern Gateway plans call for drilling underneath rivers to run pipe instead of crossing them on the surface and drilling through mountains instead of running pipe over them. Any pipeline project of Black’s would require not only environmental approval but the approval of First Na-

tag of the refinery, but Black said it is an important part of the project. “This will broaden the province’s economy, create thousands of high paying union and non-union jobs, create work for B.C. Contractors and pay a high amount of taxes to the province. Best of all it will improve the world’s environment, and that is a key reason why this old newspaper man and his family as so keen on the idea,” he said. The presentation came the same day as the B.C. Chamber of Commerce released a poll showing 52 per cent support the refinery and 66 per cent support the plan if an environmentally sound way of transporting bitumen from Alberta to the refinery can be found.

Local leaders weigh in on the latest oil refinery news

MLA skeptical on refinery’s future Cameron Orr Despite David Black’s optimism on the upcoming signing of funding commitments for his Kitimat Clean oil refinery, Skeena MLA Robin Austin said the business leader still has a lot of challenges in his future if he wants to see a refinery built. “Anytime someone even talks about making a major private sector investment to the province of British Columbia it needs to be taken with some seriousness,” said Austin. “That said there are huge challenges to what David Black is proposing.” Primary among those is the actual transportation of dilut-

ed bitumen to Kitimat. By rail or pipeline, it would still be over unceded First Nations territory that do not have treaties, he said. He doesn’t expect debate to shift public opinion on the transport of the product in B.C. anytime soon. “I think also the issue of tankers on the central and north coast of British Columbia, whether they are taking crude oil or whether they are taking a refined product, I don’t think that British Columbians on the whole are receptive to having tankers.” Austin also referred to a 25-year long non-legislated moratorium of tankers off the west coast, and

doesn’t see support on lifting that coming. Further to those concerns, Austin also has doubts the oil patch itself will get behind a refinery in Canada. “I haven’t seen the oil industry out of Alberta show any interest in supplying David Black with any product,” he said. The money for oil producers, suggested Austin, is through selling the raw product, and not for refining it in Canada. As for if he thinks a refinery could change public perception on pipelines, Austin doesn’t believe it. “Mr. Black now needs to go speak to the First Nations along

the route that he contemplates, and seeing how they feel about it,” he said. “I would be surprised if they looked differently upon his project than they do on the Enbridge pipeline.”

That’s only one component of the puzJoanne Monaghan zle. There’s a lot more puzzle pieces to go.” Meanwhile Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan said that she and her council are maintaining a wait-and-see approach to the entire proposal. She said that the council has always favoured value added proposals for development but don’t yet have any official stand on an oil refinery for the valley ahead of any environmental review. “We always have supported this type of [environmental] review and we look forward to seeing how it unfolds, and what happens,” she said. The position is much the same for the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline. Kitimat council is waiting for the conclusion of the Joint Review Panel sessions before formalizing any opinion one way or another on that proposal.

Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross isn’t getting too excited over the latest news about the Kitimat Clean refinery proposal. As much as he complimented David Ellis Ross Black for his efforts, he’s still not holding his breath over anything happening anytime soon. “I’ve seen those kinds of announcements before. It has impact, it has weight, but really what you’re looking for is approval from the federal government if needed, provincial government, you need certificates, permits, approvals, and I really don’t think rights and title has really been given the detailed attention it deserves yet,” said Ross. But he does say to Black’s favour that he has been gathering opinion from some First Nations without any pressure or prejudice to this point. But real consultation hasn’t taken place, and won’t until an official application gets submitted. “The real consultation has got to start taking

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has announced $13 million in road improvements to the region. While none of the announced projects will impact Kitimat directly, a $2.4 million contract was awarded to White Bear Industries in Terrace to sealcoat 65 km of Highway 16 east of Terrace. The government release said that stretch of highway, between St. Croix Creek and Boulder West Creek, is heavily used by the trucking industry supporting the expansions at Prince Rupert’s port and the Rio Tinto Alcan modernization. With the other funding, $5.9 million went to Belvedere Place Contracting of Kelowna for a new bridge on Highway 37A at Bitter Creek, near Stewart. A $4.8 million contract went to Peter’s Bros. Construction of Penticton to pave 27 km of Highway 16, east of Prince Rupert.

The fire department responded with two engines, one ladder truck, and one ambulance, with 15 firefighters and two Chief Officers. Crews remained on the scene for over three hours The fire chief said there were no injuries from the fire.

Accelerating and braking hard is often called jackrabbiting and it doesn’t save much time either. Studies have shown that jackrabbiting saves only 2 1/2 minutes on a 60 minute trip, fuel consumption increases by 37 per cent and some toxic emissions were more than five times higher. Always try to accelerate smoothly from a stop, when passing, or merging into traffic.

Refinery plan gets refined I prefer to just give myself this one avenue for sharing opinions, that way I don’t really get in the way of delivering the news. That means when I post brief news posts to our Facebook page or on Twitter I do so without any comment typically. That being the case, it meant I didn’t say a whole lot about the results of a poll conducted by Mustel Group. Well, more my questions on the representation we northerners had in the results. The poll took the opinion of 800 people, even that number not very high in the scheme of things, but then again statistics gathering isn’t my strong suit. But how much of that could have been us? Turns out it was seven per cent, which is about 56 people. Certainly not a lot. I’ve always found surveys can be interesting, but I find them more on the line of interesting conversation starters than any thing scientific. Spurred by this latest poll, I asked our readers on Facebook if the existence of an oil refinery would change their opinion on the Northern Gateway proposal. So far it seems it wouldn’t. Which I do find surprising. I’ve written before that I thought the existence of a refinery would change opinions, because despite the risks of a pipeline, processing product in Canada with local workers is at least more ideal. Possibly enough benefit to offset the potential risks. (If a refinery existed here, that’s real benefits, to potential risk. I’m sure many would disagree.) But everything is still proposed anyway, as Black has been making headway. When he spoke to the B.C. Chamber of Commerce last week he introduced a high level investment banker from New York, who said that they’ve just about lined up commitments to fund the construction of the refinery. That strikes off the question of “can he build it” (assuming the eventual signing of memorandums of understanding go as planned), but we are still waiting on the question of “does it make sense to build it” as he waits for answers from suppliers and buyers. On a similar topic, Black also seems to firmly believe that if the pipeline fails in its review, it’s not game over for oil. Rail cars, he says, will be used to get product to the coast regardless. (That or his own pipeline, it seems, to supply the proposed refinery.) If he’s right, it does make you wonder what the alternatives will be if Enbridge fails. Will oil flow regardless? And how do pipelines compare with other methods? But enough about what I think. Talk of refineries and oil pipelines is a complicated subject that needs other perspectives.

I’m not against pursuing the cheaters but the zeal with which the government is going after the fringe number of “cheaters” among the unemployed seems to me to be far out of line compared with the snail-slow pace of pursuing more high profile targets who may be claiming ineligible expenses and travel costs in the Senate, an organization which also costs many millions of dollars to operate, and seems to contain a number of others who don’t “work” a lot.

Clearing the air on emissions

From not an anonymous writer

Sure as fate, whenever an industrial project is proposed someone somewhere starts warning about the increased pollution that will result. And these days a specific target is increased greenhouse gas emissions - primarily carbon dioxide (CO2) - which will contribute to global warming and the end of the world as we know it. But that charge cannot be laid at the door of the one major project that is actually underway here - Rio Tinto Alcan’s aluminum smelter modernisation. Despite the fact the new plant will produce nearly twice as much metal as the old one, CO2 equivalent emissions will not only not go up, they will actually be reduced. Significantly. At full production, the 1950s-era smelter belched out 1.4 million tonnes of CO2 equivalents each year. The technology in the new one will see that drop to 900,000 tonnes, a 36 per cent decrease. A couple of columns back I focused on carbon credits. Based on the number I used then of $10 per tonne, the new smelter’s 500,000 tonne reduction in CO2 equivalents translates to a potential carbon credit windfall for RTA of $5 million a year. While that’s not chump change, it is dwarfed by the $3 billion plus cost of the project. But every little bit helps when competing in a global market. The importance of the cut in CO2 emissions, however, goes beyond RTA’s balance sheet. On November 30 last year the Gitga’at Nation of Hartley Bay sent out a press release in which they expressed concern that the proposed LNG

Dear Sir, Anonymous: what does that mean to you? To me when an article is written and not signed with a name it means the person or people who wrote the article do not have the “guts” to sign their name or they don’t really believe what they have written. It is much like people who protest and cover their faces while yelling and carrying on but are afraid of what people will really think of them if they can be seen. I’m sure everyone in our community has received the “About the Future of Kitimat” letter that appeared in the mail box. No actual names are at the bottom of the letter, just a made up “group”. Anyone who has lived here for a long time can probably guess who wrote this. Probably the same group who has always been against anything new. The new hospital being built, the expansion of the smelter, the building of Eurocan, etc. They never sign anything. Just protest!

plants in Kitimat “could have human health impacts on local airsheds”. What they were worried about was that if those plants had to produce the power needed to run them by burning natural gas - a gimme given BC Hydro will be unable to supply sufficient electricity - greenhouse gas emissions into the local atmosphere would increase. A valid point on its face, but it did not take into account the fact the Kitimat modernisation project will remove half a million tonnes annually of GHG emissions from the local airshed. Take that into account and it means the LNG power plants can release up to 500,000 tonnes a year before they start changing the airshed quality from what it is today. So how much would such a power plant emit? Apache tells me they can’t provide any numbers on the KM LNG project proposed for Beese Cove until the FEED (front end engineering and design) is completed. Now I know there will be those who will say I am missing the point, that the whole idea is to reduce emissions, not keep them the same. But that’s a philosophical argument for another day.

lasting benefits.” If you haven’t lived here as long as I have you may not know that all the “temporary houses” that were built back in the 50s on Liard, Okanagan, Lillooet and all the other streets in that area are now selling from $69,000 to $125,000, according to ReMax this week. Sounds like a pretty good benefit to me. My dad lived in camp here in the 50s, the camp “did not accomodate families.” I know he was not a drunk, druggie or any of those things some people think construction workers are. Majority are hard working, family people who are trying to make a living. When the temporary camp was no longer needed it was demolished. Maybe that will happen again, but in the meantime a lot of the people who came here, from all over the world, married, bought homes, raised families, a hospital was built as were schools and there were other businesses that came. Some of us went away to get an education, came back to work, raise our families, and are now retiring. Some people from the 50s never left. Continued on page 8

Kitimatian named one of B.C.’s top entrepreneurs Cameron Orr At 34 years old, Jason Carvalho has made it as one of B.C.’s Top 40 Under 40, a list compiled by Business in Vancouver. The distinction recognized Jason’s work as a notable entrepreneur in the province. He’s also a product of Kitimat. That’s right, one of the province’s top business men got his start in the quiet town of Kitimat, and his passion for business began inside a classroom at Mount Elizabeth Secondary School. “I think when you’re in a larger metropolis, there’s a lot of distraction,” he said of the benefits of getting his start in Kitimat. He said that growing up in Kitimat gave him a lot of opportunity to share ideas with friends and other business owners, more ideal than the rush of living in a city.

“People were actually willing to talk to you,” he said. Even as entrepreneurship flows in his veins, it certainly isn’t hereditary. He said he comes from a family primarily made up of teachers. “It wasn’t easy, because I came from a family of people who are in professions,” he said. That background makes breaking into business-making hard. A lot of people encouraged him to just get a regular job, something he wasn’t willing to do. Aside from the usual jobs of working at gas stations — he had a run in Kitimat’s Husky station — he started his own consulting business at age 16. He said he was contracted by then-Alcan to install software on their computers. He’d also approach the realty companies to contract lawn mowing work for the homes they were selling.

A marketing class held at the high school was, he said, what really set him down the path of business. From here he spent four years working on a political science and psychology degree before leaving that to focus on business pursuits. All that experience lead him to where he is now, a co-founder of a website called MarilynJean.com, a private sale business for families with children from zero to nine years old. The business is approaching its second year and has done very well so far, said Jason. It’s a happy success story for a person who says it takes an entrepreneur three-and-a-half tries to get a successful business — this is his second. But success comes from knowing what you want early, getting into the right circles and, as he said, having very supportive mothers and wives (or husbands, of course).

January should be coming back to him in the coming weeks, which will get him set up for foundation works later in the year. Assuming Kitimat has a typical winter next year, he thinks

construction itself should begin in March 2014. (If it is notably mild like this year, it could be earlier.) “It’s a go at this stage,” he said. The plans remain

largely the same, which will see a 42 -room hotel built with a conference room. Minni said the proposal for a 2,100 bed work lodge near the downtown core does not affect the

business plan for this hotel. “The hotel is only 42 rooms, so we’re not building a massive hotel, it’s not geared up to house 1,500 construction workers,” he said.

“Nobody is going to put the construction workers up in a hotel.” The style of the hotel will also remain, save for minor tweaks that relate to the results of the geotechnical report.

Bobby Weir returns home His story was told throughout the province and his circumstances rallied his workplace and the whole community to his side. Now Bobby Weir is back in his home in Kitimat, prepared to get back to his usual routines. “I’m walking with a cane now. I can do a little bit of a distance without the cane,” he said. “Other than that, my arm movements are pretty much full.” Weir’s ordeal began on December 5 last year, when winter conditions caused a highway collision, just outside of town. With two in the car, Weir caught the worst of it when he became trapped by his seatbelt. His passenger and friend Kevin Garret Dawson was also hurt, but far less so. Dawson would wind up helping out three bystanders, John Tyler, his son Jake and their friend Dale Hession, ironworkers in town working on the smelter modernization.

Anonymous Continued from page 5 You want schools, health care, new business but you don’t want any new construction or camps to house people who will build new things to bring money in so these things can happen. What exactly do you want? Thank goodness the “protestors” weren’t here when Alcan was being built because if they were none of us would be here now. Maybe the big PTI lodge — which I think you are whining about — could be turned into a hotel some day, or could be recycled in a number of productive ways. Now on to another subject; Wouldn’t it be great if everyone in the community was made aware of why things don’t happen? It could be announced at the public council meetings what happened to: - Pytrade

- The break bulk port What’s happening with Radley Park to prevent it from eroding away, - Where are the three or four steps on a hillside from the library to the parking lot, - The reason there is no turning lane into Cable Car when coming from Terrace off a busy highway, - Who’s going to clean up the garbage left on the river banks after all the free loaders have left when fishing season is over? I am sick to death of whiners, anonymous letters over the years, people who make promises during election times and then blame everyone else if the promises are broke, instead of saying they promised too much. One last thing, the escort service. What ever you call these people and however much you protest, they will be here on way or another. This is

The entire experience has been an amazing one, with so much attention to his situation, which included news stories even in provincial media outlets. He’s been mostly indifferent to all the attention but said there is a part of him that’s appreciated it. But at the end of the day, it’s being alive and having been helped so much that he enjoys the most. “I’m happy to be here.”

the oldest business in the world and won’t go away. Some are probably here now, so why not be able to tax them and house them in one place so we know where to stay away from? As you all know I am not politically correct so save your breath and comments. The positive thing is that we have the best weather in the country, spring is almost here, house prices are becoming more realistic, we don’t have to put up with a local election this year and there are people in this community who really care about what happens, but they don’t constantly whine about progress. You cannot have progress without some things you may not like. As someone once said, ‘suck it up, Buttercup!’ Keep smiling, I’m watching and listening. Roma Burnett

Public Notice

official community Plan & Zoning Amendment Kitimat Council invites public comment before making decisions on an application to amend the Official Community Plan and zoning at Forest Hill Heights Subdivision. Wakita Construction Ltd. seeks to amend Official Community Plan (OCP) and zoning maps to adjust zone boundaries of selected parcels. Five changes have been requested. Please refer to site map. 1. G5-A Forestry transition to R3-A Multi-Family Residential (Phase 5) This change increases subdivision area and creates a new area for multifamily development. It is expected, but not guaranteed, that all or most of the 38 potential units will be purpose-built rental market housing. Phase 5 will be a Development Permit Area. Nearby residents and landowners will be consulted on building design, exterior finishes and landscaping before permits are issued for construction. 2. R2-b two-Family to R1-b one-Family Residential (Phase 1) Existing landowners have agreed to eliminate duplex or legal suite potential. “Down-zoning” frees up six sewer credits for transfer to the new multi-family zone area (Phase 5). 3. R3-A Multi-Family to R1-A one-Family Residential (Phase 6) Five lots for detached single-family dwellings would replace a multi-family development of up to twelve units. “Down-zoning” frees up seven sewer credits for transfer to the new multi-family zone area (Phase 5). 4. R1-b one-Family to R1-A one-Family Residential (Phases 3 & 4) Minor change of layout will increase visibility of lots with home occupation business potential. Four R1-B lots are proposed, a net loss of two. Two lots in Phase 3 will move to the R1-B Zone from the R1-A Zone. Four lots in Phase 4 will move to the R1-A Zone from the R1-B Zone. 5. R1-b one-Family Residential to R1-A one-Family Residential (Phase 2) Eight lots on Wozney Street move from one single-family zone to another. This change allows lots to be smaller, and reduces home-based business potential but has no impact on subdivision capacity.

Many creatures seek fun in the sun Seemingly endless February clouds hanging over our valley creates ample motivation to wonder where the sun might be. California, Mexico, or Hawaii quickly come to mind. It’s a good time to think about taking a break from the white of winter to one of these fun-in-the-sun winter retreats. Although this idea may be relatively new to us, it has been going on for centuries. The story, however, ends in the winter but starts in the spring. Every spring, an unusual shorebird flies northward along B.C.’s coastline toward Alaska. A few of them wander throughout the Douglas Channel and find themselves in places such as Coste Rocks. Most continue into the Yukon or Alaska but a few drop their landing gear along the Tatshenshini River basin, the only location

in B.C. where they secretively nest and raise their young. In late summer, with the shorter daylight and dipping temperatures, they begin to wander southward, using the coastline like the edge of the highway. Many, however, begin to wander throughout the vast Pacific basin. Thus their name, Wandering Tattler, describes both their migration and their tattle-like call when they are disturbed or threatened. One of the most likely wintering places happens to be Hawaii. Many fly to these isolated Pacific Islands for the winter. Their soft, grey plumage furthers their secretive nature as they blend nicely amongst volcanic boulders and rocky shorelines. Here they stay, enjoying the winter sun and surf until they feel the mysterious urge to leave the island para-

dise and make the long flight to the northwest regions. While tattlers wing their way to and from Hawaii, another west coast resident ‘fins’ its way to these warm waters. Humpback whales also spend the winter around these warm tropical islands. Their story, like the tattler, begins in the cold, Arctic waters. During the long summer days, northern waters are rich in phytoplankton – microscopic plants which thrive due to the extended periods of daylight. This photosynthetic plankton supports uncountable numbers of small shrimp-like creatures

Budget falls short The Tamitik Status of Women (TSW) are concerned with the contents of this year’s B.C. budget. TSW say there are no increases for critical services which respond to violence against women and children in B.C. and Kitimat in particular. “We were disappointed to see no increases for services that would help families and women and children experiencing domestic and sexual violence in Kitimat,” said Linda Slanina, executive director of TSW. The organization notes that violence against women and children is rising, and that service delivery pressures are growing. The lack of increase to services is hard for TSW to wrap their heads around as well because of numerous recommendations from various Coroners Inquests and Death Review Panels across North America which have identified access to these services as critical to save the lives of victims, the organization says. “It is critical that action be taken immediately to prevent this pervasive yet senseless violence,” said Slanina. “It is time to move from studies, reports and summits to implementing programs and actions to address the issue of domestic and sexual violence.” Meanwhile the TSW marked the passing of International Women’s

Day on March 8, as they strive to continue to be inclusive of men in their programming. The Kitimat-based women’s advocacy group said that as International Women’s Day comes and goes, the organization is working to be inclusive of men and boys. Tamitik Outreach Worker Cheryl Rumley said that purely from statistics a lot of violence to women involves a male. They wanted to make sure that they’re not just reducing risk by working with women, but by working together with all populations which are involved in crime. To that end they’ve for years been offering local men workshops on relationships and ensuring that men’s and boy’s voices aren’t invisible. The organization is also maintaining longstanding traditions, such as working with the CAW 2301 Women’s Committee to hand out white ribbons in December, an awareness campaign for violence. Gender violence is definitely an issue for Kitimat. Crime statistics for Kitimat shows a jump in 2012 from seven to 12 sexual assaults. Rumley said that’s no small increase for a community of our size. Particularly since the estimate is that only 19 per cent of sexual assaults are reported in B.C.

called euphausiids. They are so abundant that a cubic metre of water may contain 10,000 to 60,000 individuals. This density is critical food for many marine animals. A single whale may consume several tons each day. By the time the summer season ends, humpbacks have gorged themselves to the point of being excessively fat. This gluttonous eating serves a purpose as any extra food converts to thick layers of blubber. In the months ahead, their continued existence will depend on this reserve food. Come October, the whales leave the Arctic

and head southward. Some head to Mexico and some to Japan but most swim over 5,000 km to the Hawaiian Islands. For the next six months, the whales remain within the island network. They rest, mate and give birth during this time. Newborn whales lack protective blubber so the warm waters are critical for their early survival. Hawaiian waters are also predator-free, at least from a humpback perspective. Orcas, their main enemy, rarely stray into warmer waters. As great as Hawaii is, it lacks the kind of food preferred by these whales. So by the time spring arrives the whales, which have not fed since leaving the North Pacific, must replenish themselves. Their summer food supply awaits them but they must swim to get it. They must repeat

Wandering Tattlers forage amongst the lave boulders on many Hawaiian bays and beaches. the journey back to northern waters. If you find yourself in Hawaii this winter, there is plenty of time to look for either Wandering tattlers or wandering whales. Tattlers like rocky, wave-washed shorelines. You probably won’t see them at Waikiki but you might find one or two on beaches lined with boulders. Humpbacks like relatively shallow wa-

ter so watch for their spouts anytime from beaches, viewpoints or headlands. In particular, Maui has some of the best whale watching in the world. The whales congregate in the relatively shallow waters between the islands. So, on a winter day in northern BC take a few moments to think about tails and tattlers. Better still, I suggest going to see them for yourself.

Obituaries

Juergen Hagemann May 15, 1919 - February 12, 2013 With sadness, yet gratitude for having been a part of his life, we announce the passing of Juergen Hagemann. Juergen lived in Kitimat from 1954 to 2004, and worked for Alcan until his retirement in 1984. He was predeceased by his daughter Christina in 1954, wife Martha in 1988, two brothers and a sister. He is survived by wife Gisella, daughter Ingrun and two sisters. Juergen is remembered for his love of music which he shared with many. He played the flute, recorder, guitar and directed the Catholic church choir for almost twenty years. His passion for life, his wisdom, inner strength, and unwavering spiritual beliefs were an inspiration for all who knew him. The family would like to thank all his friends in the community for their prayers, love and support. All was much appreciated. The requiem mass and interment took place in Berlin, Germany on February 22, 2013.

Award winning magic show coming

Submitted Come and join the Kitimat Concert Association at the Mount Elizabeth Theatre for a magical adventure for all ages. Recognized as one of the most creative and dynamic shows of its kind, critics have hailed Ted and Marion Outerbridge as “the most successful magicians in Canada” (Montreal Gazette) and “champions of magic” (Bergedorfer Zeitung, Hamburg, Germany). As the largest and most successful touring illusion show in the country, it has received both the 2011 Award of Excellence from Ontario Contact and the 2010 Touring Artist of the Year award from the B.C. Touring Council. The upcoming Kitimat show, called Outerbridge – Clockwork Mysteries, takes its audience on a bizarre and fascinating journey through time. Within seconds of taking the stage, the Outerbridges fuse their revolutionary illusions with split-second artistry to hold viewers spellbound. With the help of an elaborate Victorian time machine, the performers and spectators travel back in time together. The audience is invited into a mysterious clock tower equipped with a variety of timekeeping devices. They become part of a race against time, experience time accelerating and slowing down, and participate in predicting the contents of a time capsule. Keeping their audience enthralled from the first astonishing illusion to the spectacular finale, the Outerbridges create an experience that far exceeds the expectations of every spectator. Performing professionally since 1982, Ted Outerbridge has been featured in theatres from coast to coast and on both sides of the Atlantic. He has set box office records with his tours Illusions, Magician Extraordinaire, Magical Moments in Time, and The Time Capsule Tour. Ted has done everything from consulting for the Cirque du Soleil, to creating the magic for the movie Switching Channels. He has made over 100 television appearances, from Much Music to The Discovery Channel’s Mystery Hunters, and on his own TV special Magic with Ted Outerbridge. Acclaimed for his innovative style, Ted Outerbridge has been recognized by his peers, being named Stage Magician of the Year and winning the Tom Auburn Award for Magical Excellence. Marion studied dance at the State School for Dance in Arnhem, Holland and also received a scholarship to study in Moscow at the State School Lunatcharsky G.I.T.I.S. Marion has performed all over the world and is fluent in five languages. In 1993 she joined the “Ensemble National de Folklore les Sortileges” in Montreal, in 1998 she returned to Europe to work for the Salzburg State Theatre production of “Tango de Armor” as an assistant choreographer. She returned to Canada in 1999 and joined the “Ted Outerbridge Magician Extrodinaire” show. Marion has performed in numerous Canadian productions including “Nostalgie” and “Country 2000” and has been in films such as “The Whole Nine Yards” with Bruce Willis and “2001, A Space Travesty” with Leslie Nielson. The performance is on Friday, March 22 at the Mount Elizabeth Theatre. Doors open at 7:30, show starts at 8:00. Tickets are available at the door or at Hollywood Video.

Shaving Continued from page 4 You can hear the squeal of protests across the country when Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin are questioned about amounts in the thousands or hundreds of thousands for travel and questionable home expenses.

The unemployed guy’s couple of hundred dollars is apparently more worthy of a random one-on-one investigation. As Mr. Harper says, to ensure the integrity of the EI system. Is the integrity of the Senate a different matter, as it appears to be? Pity. ahewitson@telus.net
