1.30 INCLUDES TAX

Issues aired for PTI proposal

The Kitimat sea cadet corp held their ceremonial annual review on May 25, and were inspected by the reviewing officer Ernie Archer, center. More on the cadets’ review on page 3.

Eyes on 2014 submission Cameron Orr The director of project planning and execution for TransCanada’s Coastal GasLink Pipeline proposal presented an update to their project to mayor and council and then later to the business community during a Chamber of Commerce dinner. Bruce Wells said that the company is doing preliminary field work ahead of submission of their project description to the environmental assessment office, expected very early in 2014. “We’ve been busy over the winter doing our field programs,” he said ahead of his dinner presentation. He said the information they’re compiling now will largely be used for environmental assessments of the proposed pipeline. The Coastal GasLink pipeline would transport natural gas from the Dawson Creek area to Kitimat, where it would supply the proposed LNG Canada facility, led by Shell Canada. It would be approximately a 650 km pipeline, with a 48 inch pipe diamater, moving 1.7 billion cubic feet per day.

Wells said the project description is expected to be filed in January or February of 2014, kicking off the review process. He said the company expects that process to take between 12 and 14 months. “Everything that you can imagine from an environmental perspective for both CEAA [Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency] and the EAO [Environmental Assessment Office], we’re collecting that data now to put into that application.” That information includes tree counts, fishery studies, and wildlife studies, as well as engineering works, are river crossings. The company held a series of open houses across the region last October and Wells said the company expects to hold similar ones again this coming October. However he said the company has been welcomed with ‘open arms’ everywhere, and the feedback has been valuable. In fact he said the proposed route for the pipeline has been altered based on the feedback people and landowners have given them.

Cameron Orr The public had another opportunity to air their opinions on a proposal for temporary workforce accommodations in the Strawberry Meadows subdivision, and again the issue boiled down to not so much a problem with the company but rather their proposed location. The public hearing had many people airing concerns, some with particular issues, some firmly opposed, and some in favour. PTI’s director of business development, Bob Greaves, started public comments off, saying he believes the company is a solution to wild fluctuations in the real estate market, saying Kitimat has been through boom-bust cycles before, and that their proposal could help solve that issue. He was followed by the reading of a written public comment from a letter from Doug and Cheryl Groves, saying they’re opposed to the facility so close to the City Centre. As landowners on Dewberry Street they feel any changes

to the zoning in the area would be a breach of trust. Land developer Jack Oviatt, who sold the land to PTI Group for this project, remained in favour of the development. Referring to the presentation from the District of Kitimat about other developments in the area, Oviatt questioned whether any other project, like the Rio Tinto Alcan camp, has legacy funding the same way PTI is being asked to provide. (It’s being proposed that PTI pay $500 per bed to be used to fund a possible future affordable housing development.) He also pointed out that PTI has agreed to complete Loganberry Street and the intersection at Quatsino. Traffic concerns were a top issue for many people at the meeting. Luella Froess spoke about the even now “overused” Haisla Bridge, and the potential strain of this development on it. She also wondered about what effect the development would have on the hospital, which now doesn’t have enough room, she said.

The issue of traffic was echoed by Dan Stenson, a longtime bus driver in the community. He said traffic today is double than it was even two years ago, and as a member of the District’s traffic committee, he has seen no plan to deal with the traffic, and that the small intersection at Quatsino and Lahakas is not large enough to sustain new traffic loads. Bill Kearley spoke opposed to the project, dismissing Greaves earlier comments that Kitimat has seen a boombust cycle, saying Kitimat has even sustained Terrace in tough times. He repeated his desire, (as reported in a previous Sentinel) to see the town purchase land from Strawberry Meadows for its own future development. There were many more speakers at the public hearing, all providing a perspective as council decides what to do with a rezoning and OCP amendment bylaw, which at the time of the meeting had passed second reading. For more information on that issue see page 9.

More investors now buy into the proposed LNG project at Kitimat Haisla chief councillor Ellis Ross says he welcomes the arrival of new investors in a small liquefied natural gas (LNG) project partially owned by the Haisla called BCLNG. “Golar LNG of Bermuda and an Asian company which will be named later both bring strong LNG experience and expertise into the project,” says Chief Councillor Ellis Ross of the plan to put in place a floating LNG plant. “They will work with us and LNG Partners of Houston to carry the project through gaining permits and a final investment decision later this year,” he said. “Liquefied natural gas has set us on a path to a debt-free BC by redefining the economic potential of our most promising resource while creating thousands of jobs,” says BC’s Minister of Energy, Mines, and Natural Gas, Rich Coleman. “The partnership formed between the Haisla and global energy investors will ensure BCLNG is BC’s first export terminal for natural gas, and the start of a new, prosperous future for our province.” As currently configured BCLNG comprises

a 600,000 to 700,000 metric tonne per annum capacity liquefaction barge and other facilities. A site has been secured on the west side of the Douglas Channel. The four partners have agreed to explore doubling the size of the project, which would be the maximum allowed under a National Energy Board export permit. But that’s subject to expansion of the Pacific Northern Gas pipeline. “We are pleased that Golar, with 13 LNG vessels in operation worldwide and another 13 under construction, and our new Asian partner recognize the LNG export opportunity in BC and want to work with our people to bring BCLNG into operation,” Ross adds. “BCLNG means jobs, business opportunities, and a consistent, dependable revenue stream for our people,” says Ross. “It and other LNG projects being proposed for our territory offer an end to poverty for the Haisla and the opportunity to stand on our own feet and full participants in the BC economy and Canadian society.”

Elections BC officials were working their way towards a final vote count last Monday. The final count takes into consideration absentee ballots that weren’t counted on general election day. The process ended on May 29. For Skeena, Robin Austin for the NDP settled at 5,609 votes, or 47.71 per cent. The Liberals’ Carol Leclerc in second had 5,078 votes, at 43.27 per cent. Mike Brousseau received 797 votes, and Trevor Hendry had 263.

Cameron Orr The 205 RCSCC Kitamaat sea cadet unit held their annual ceremonial review on May 25. It is the first annual review held by the sea cadets since they were re-established in Kitimat last November. The now 43-yearold sea cadet corp awarded their cadets with trophies and honours, while on parade at their hall on Konigus Street. The cadets were reviewed by Ernie Archer, who was escorted by squadron warrant officer John Polyck, commanding officer Captain R.J. Buller, Ron Theroux

Paws cut off

Ups and downs in April police report

Final count

The Ministry of Environment was alerted May 24 to a dead bear with its paws cut off found by Lakelse Lake, which is raising concerns about poaching and improper disposal of a carcass. The bear, found behind the firehall off Highway 37 South, was a two-to-three year old sub-adult, according to local conservation officer Gareth Scrivener, which made it an unlikely target for a trophy paw kill. “This wasn’t poached for the paws itself based on my experience,” Scrivener said, “It was probably a problem bear out at the lake and somebody probably took the situation into their own hands to shoot it and then I think they just didn’t want to drive so far with it and dumped it right there by the highway.” Who removed the paws and why remains a mystery. According to Scrivener the paws would have been too small to be considered trophies. “It’s unusual that somebody would take the paws off of it.... it was a two or three year old cub so it wouldn’t make a trophy,” Scrivener said. Leaving a dead bear near a populated area is dangerous because it can attract other ones and it is illegal.

Kitimat still remains a very affordable town Cameron Orr Kitimat still retains its crown as the most affordable community to own a home among others in the northwest. According to the Housing Affordability Study Northern BC 2012, released by the BC Northern Real Estate Board, just 17.9 per cent of a household income in Kitimat goes towards financing home ownership. In Terrace it’s 31.2 per cent of the household income, and in Prince Rupert the percentage is an even 30.

The most expense in that list was 100 Mile House, with 45.7 per cent of income. According to the report, “The low index for Kitimat reflects the low average house prices accompanied by the highest reported median income in the region, according to the 2006 Census.” The report also notes that the average house price in Kitimat and Mackenzie increased more than 25 per cent. So the affordability index for Kitimat did actually worsen by 17 per cent.

From this point on There was hardly an available seat in the house when I came to the Riverlodge last Tuesday to see the public hearing regarding OCP and bylaw changes that would allow the PTI Group proposal for temporary workforce accommodations in the Strawberry Meadows. Controversial issues like these are always fascinating to watch from the sidelines, but I have to say I’m not at all envious of the position of council right now. That’s because there is, basically, no right answer for this issue. On one hand, from the people who have spoken on the issue, many believe the proposed facility has no place in Strawberry Meadows. It’s not the land use that many people living in the area had expected. There are infrastructure and traffic concerns in having that many people in such a small place, right next to our downtown core. As people at the meeting said, traffic is already a problem in town. Especially so with our sole river crossing, Haisla Bridge. Really, can the community handle this development? And should it really be in a residential area? On the other hand, the PTI representative Bob Greaves said that having adequate housing for the temporary workers, who’ll be here regardless, can temper major market fluctuations. Then there’s the legacy fund, which will give the District $500 per PTI bed to put towards affordable housing projects in the future. And as for traffic, seems like it will be an inevitable issue for the town, regardless of PTI’s presence or not. (I was also asked once how the town handled it when the smelter, Eurocan and Methanex were all running at peak operations. I couldn’t say but that’s an interesting point.) I’ve been hearing that PTI looked first across the bridge, before settling on the Strawberry Meadows. If I were to guess I’d say there’s not much remaining room in town for a project such as this. So what’s going to happen? Maybe PTI will settle in Terrace instead if this all falls through. But even so, traffic from the facility will still have to contend with Haisla Bridge. And we’ll essentially get nothing out of the development. So, the end result is there are two differing but valid opinions on what to do about PTI. Council at this point may be at the third reading stage for the proposed bylaw. They’ll have to decide whether they feel they can work out the issues people have through policy, or whether the re-designations just aren’t in the community interest. They’ve certainly got their hands full. Cameron Orr

One final kick at the election cat

Baxyard Banter

by Malcolm Baxter msdbax@citywest.ca

Okay, before we start, I promise this is the last kick at the BC election cat. Last Wednesday the final numbers for the Skeena riding were confirmed and they make for interesting reading. But you have to be careful when it comes to interpreting them. If you simply compare the 2013 vote tallies for the big two parties to the 2009 result, the Liberals did very well, dramatically cutting incumbent NDPer Robin Austin’s majority. While Austin’s vote went down by 256, Liberal challenger Carol Leclerc posted 759 more votes than Donny van Dyk did for the party in 2009. And as a result, Austin’s majority was slashed from 1,537 to just 522. The obvious conclusion therefore is that the NDP is losing its grip on Skeena. But a truer picture emerges if you compare this last election to that of 2005 when Austin unseated Liberal Roger Harris. That time Austin polled 6,166 votes against Harris’ 5,807, a majority of just 359. So this time around his majority was actually higher than eight years ago, suggesting the NDP grip is in fact as strong as ever - albeit not a terribly firm one. And that 2009 was a blip which, at the risk of being unkind, reflected a weak Liberal candidate. Granted van Dyk worked hard and certainly didn’t lack for enthusiasm, but I think the Liberal vote crashed simply because too many of the party faithful had little faith in a “kid”. Turning to turnout, this time 10,696 voters cast their ballots for

one of the major parties, an increase of 503 over 2009. But that’s 1,277 less than voted for them in 2005. Conventional wisdom is that the falling number of votes cast reflects the depopulation Skeena has seen over

the past decade as a result of industry closures. Turns out, however, that the number of registered voters this time around was actually 7 per cent higher than in 2005 when total turnout (excluding spoiled ballots) was 62 per cent - this time it was 57 per cent. Why is that? You could come up with all kinds of theories from NDP supporters figuring it was in the bag and not bothering to vote to the lack of a Green candidate so true

Greens had no-one to vote for so didn’t. And everything in between. While on the subject of turnout, could everyone please stop bleating about young people not voting. Why would they? I was a political animal years before I was old enough to vote and I was not alone. But the reality is we were not the norm. Most people my age didn’t bother because the results made no difference to their lives. Give them a mort-

gage and a child and they start paying attention - and voting. Therefore the figures I would like to see are how many 18 to 25-year-olds voted in 2005 and how many of those same people voted in 2013 by which time they would be 26 to 33. But I doubt it can be done what with privacy issues and all. With that final rant, I sign off on the 2013 election. And start looking forward to 2017.

Shannon Dos Santos Kitimat has a long tradition of strong women business leaders. From the 50s to the 70s there was a Kitimat Business and Professional Women’s Club. Cut to today, women are visible in all corners of business life, from retail to restaurant, from service to industry. Continuing to foster a strong business sense in upcoming generations of women is important, which is why we’re happy to celebrate local women in business. The impact of women on the business scene, in Kitimat and nationally, will continue to grow, especially if statistics have anything to say about it. Sure, men still outnumber women in Kitimat based on 2011’s number (by 214, hardly worth noting in a population nearing 9,000) but what’s telling is that men saw a more drastic drop in the population. In Kitimat, from 2006 to 2011, men saw an eight per cent drop, while women only saw a 6.6 drop in the population. We may have lost people, but we lost more men than women. All this means is we have even more women role models than ever. Whether your women in business hero is a television celebrity like the Dragon Dens’ Arlene Dickinson, or a Kitimat Valley business leader you read about here, there are no shortage of people to look up to.

Selling Real Estate in Kitimat over the past four years has proven to be a monumental experience for Shannon. Shannon has served her clients from near and far in the last few years and was recently inducted into the Hall of Fame and Chairman’s Club at the 40th Annual R-4 Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she proudly accepted her Awards with her best friend Kimberley Fowler by her side. It was an experience of a lifetime, with 7000 Realtors from all over the world attending. Shannon was also awarded the Number One Realtor in British Columbia Top Transaction Award at the Re/Max Best of the Best Specialty Awards in Calgary, Alberta and closed out 2012 with a standing of 34th in Western Canada. Thanks for the continued support from my Loyal Clients, Managing Broker Manuel Leite, and fellow Realtors in my office. Here’s to another successful year!

In just 15 years, the industry changed by leaps and bounds, and as technology changes, so do the demands on the employees. Louisa took her pre-press skills into the next technological generation, using computer software to design and build the advertising which is a central part to all newspapers. As others came and went, Louisa continued working hard at the community’s newspaper of record, and her dedication continued to be rewarded. Today, she holds the paper’s top position as Publisher, meaning she has a hand in making sure the office runs properly, managing advertising, and most importantly, making sure a genuine, local newspaper is produced and available to Kitimat and our surrounding area. She has received many accolades in her 15 years. Most recently, the Canadian Community Newspaper Awards awarded the Northern Sentinel the Community Promotion Award, which was given for the newpaper’s/communities’ annual “Jammie Night.” The award from this national organization is just proof that even a local business leader such as herself, working out of the quiet town of Kitimat, can make a name for themselves nation-wide. Louisa is very thankful to the many supporters, readers and advertisers who all contribute to making the Northern Sentinel the success it remains after nearly 60 years of reporting the news.

READERS WRITE

We must plan for the future Dear sir, And open letter to Mayor and Council I have no problem in accommodating 2,000 people in this community, provided that the same standards of existing bylaws are applied that I had to comform to in the past 40 years when developing six of my subdivisions. Yet the council and its administration have made attempts to change the goal posts without a long look into the future. Why? I would expect that the same rule must be applied to the PTI project. That their subdivision is designed with minimum sized lots with multiple accommodations, with all the services, so when the PTI ends the use, that there is maximum value to the community. (Serviced lots do bring higher revenue.) And most importantly is the social issue of low cost housing which this subdivision could be immediately used for. What is proposed, and how, is yours and administration’s (for which we pay $20 million) total failure in vision and responsibility in governing this community. Sincerely, Leon Dumstrey-Soos

Also, how dangerous these people are. They are texting while driving, killing or injuring innocent people, stumbling off curbs, and today (April 26) a young lady was so busy on her mobile that she walked right between two subway cars in Montreal and was killed. How tragic. How can they blame someone else for their addiction? You know the saying, “Have you ever looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?” Continued on page 9

conversation has ended. In 10 to 20 years from now, doctors’ offices will be full of people who cannot hear. I can hear music when someone walks by and I’m working in the garden, or a car drives by with music so loud I can hear it in the house. Also, there will be people who cannot move their thumbs because of arthritis. I feel sorry for them, they won’t be able to tell the doctor what is wrong because they’ve lost the art of verbal communication. How quiet everything will be.

In a continued effort to encourage higher rates of recovery, BCUOMA has built a strong support network across the province. Today, participation includes 219 brandowner members, 39 collectors and processors,

landfills every year. When you consider that it only takes one drop of oil to contaminate a

500+ return collection facilities and more

million drops of water, the problem is clear:

than 4,000 generators. In addition,

there’s just too many drops to count, too many to ignore. BCUOMA is a not-for-profit organization that encourages British Columbians to responsibly recycle used oil, oil filters, oil containers, used antifreeze and antifreeze containers. Since the launch of the program in 2003, British Columbians have done an exceptional job of recycling their used oil materials.

ONE DROP MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

BCUOMA is expanding its successful ambassador program this summer – with two teams of ambassadors touring the province to educate and raise awareness of the importance of used oil and antifreeze recycling. By recycling your used oil and antifreeze products, you’re playing an important role in preserving our environment for future generations.

PTI bylaw amendments reach 2nd reading Cameron Orr As of last Friday, second reading had taken place for an OCP [official community plan] and zoning amendment bylaw which, if eventually passed, would allow the PTI Group to construct their proposed workforce lodge. The District of Kitimat planning department and the PTI Group have worked together since first reading, and the company has requested some amendments to the draft, including changes to the required number of parking stalls to contributions the company would have to give for later legacy projects. Councillors discussed the number of parking spaces and the overall strategy that has been used to bring this project forward, but second reading did pass. The process from then requires a third reading then final adoption of the bylaw. A gap of a number of days is required between third reading and adoption of a bylaw. Phil Germuth on the topic of parking spaces said that if the District administration had their suggested two parking spaces for every 10 beds, that would mean only 421 parking spots. With 200 employees, and bus spaces taking up the equivalent of another 100, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy to see only 121 spaces remaining. He said that it would be a disservice to the community by not making those parking spaces available, and therefore a way to store and use a vehicle to get around town. Staff proposed an alternative to their suggestion, seeking a middle ground to PTI Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own request of just one parking space per 10 beds (as well as bicycle parking), and suggested a two parking stall per bed model, but one parking space can be reduced per bike parking made available, and that there is bus parking enough for one bus per 85 beds. Meanwhile other proposals within the bylaw

would require PTI Group to pay a set fee per bed in their complex, which would be saved in an affordable housing fund. Director of Planning and Development Gwen Sewell said that while the District of Kitimat may not directly eventually construct an affordable housing facility themselves, the money collected would be used as a contribution towards such a project in the future. It is currently suggested that the rate by $500 per bed be used, as beds become operational. If the lodge sees a peak at 2,100 beds, that would then mean $1,050,000 contributed. But the whole process has still rubbed Germuth the wrong way, who thinks the zoning work being done is not the way to approach this project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still not happy with how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re zoning this as a residential,â&#x20AC;? he said, saying that they should be looking at manufacture zoning. He said PTI had initially been looking at manufacturing zoning lands on the industrial side of the Kitimat River when they first showed interest in the town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still think there is a way through a temporary use permit so we can still call it what it is, zone it for what it is and having that land revert back after theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gone back to residential,â&#x20AC;? he said. His plan is to use temporary use permits to be able to revisit the facility in about five years and be able to gauge its impact on the community by then and let landowners say if PTI is working out for them as neighbours. Councillor Mary Murphy however noted that staff are following the instruction of council, as they have given direction to open up zoning discussions with proponents. She also added that PTI Group has openly advertised job opportunities for the proposed facility. This discussion took place ahead of the public hearing at Riverlodge on May 28.

February 21 would hopefully see the Rail Jam at Kitimat City Centre lower parking lot, with a Sugar Shack luncheon at the Riverlodge the following day. In the evening theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have musical acts. A mini-Sugar Shack would be held at Onion Lake on the 23rd, an event currently hosted by the Canadian Parents for French in Kitimat and Terrace. Witwicki said combining with these other events will help lower costs to host such things, costs which include the maple syrup for the popular toffee on the snow. In all the festival is expected to cost $32,980, including the possible Kitimat-based coordinator.

the Public Service, Pursuing a High Performance Public Service, February, 2008. Feb. 2008 - seems to have taken a long time to move in on these rowdy civil service types -but it will be, I suspect, another “under the bus” throwing exercise. One that will permit the totally out of control mandarin ministers at the top to drive on with unashamed fake lake and gazebo schemes, spending millions on attack ads on their opposition, buying unworkable war planes, selling off Canadian resources willy-nilly and once-in-a-while coming down to earth to hold the Upper House accountable for holding some “serious second thoughts” debates before they all get caught skimming. Canadians are finally angry -- not sure if they are yet “mad as hell and not going to take it any more...” but I hope they are by now -- there’s still plenty of room under these various buses.
