PTI plan gets rubber stamp By a wide margin, Kitimat Council has approved zoning changes that will allow the PTI Group to build their proposed work lodge. With one councillor absent, Corinne Scott, the vote passed in favour 5-1, with Phil Germuth the sole remaining opponent to the changes. Mayor Joanne Monaghan said that her phone lit up in the days following from prospective businesses, who had been hesitant to commit to Kitimat before knowing whether PTI Group would get a pass. She didn’t disclose what those businesses were. Monaghan also said she was sure that PTI Group would have set up quickly in Terrace if Kitimat rejected the plan, and believed they would have done so in a more streamlined manner than was done in town. She had heard unofficially that Terrace would have accepted PTI with “open arms,” she said. She outlined the various benefits the project would have to the community, including easing the housing market, the approximately 200 local jobs, and the millions of dollars of infrastructure it would leave behind. “The tax dollars we get a year is over $200,000,” she said of the temporary workforce accommodation. “I think this is going to be good for our community,” she said. Director of Community Planning and Development Gwen Sewell explained there are bonus agreements which will kick in depending on the number of beds PTI opens. The lodge will have a base of 360 units. Upon adding an additional 240 units (up to 600 beds), a housing agreement will be made that requires all the units to be single-occupancy, rental only and with a minimum of 80 per cent available for construction workers and employees of businesses located in an industrial zone. The Bonus A amenity also calls for the $500 per bed to the District of Kitimat for future affordable housing projects. The Bonus B level also includes construction of pedestrian access trails through the land for those with mobility challenges. The final level, Bonus C, which applies for up to the maximum 2,104 bed configuration, will call into an effect a Good Neighbour Agreement, which means PTI will provide meeting spaces “to facilitate communication between PTI, area residents, District of Kitimat, Chamber of Commerce, RCMP, Northern Health and other interested groups, at no cost to the municipality.” Meanwhile, PTI Group will pay $300 per bed into the municipal reserve account to fund improvements to the sewage treatment plant, and the company will have to meet District specifications for water connections.

Final hearings being held in Terrace Josh Massey Anti-pipeline activists will be on guard outside the final public hearings for the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Project, scheduled for June 17 in Terrace. Protesters are coming in from as far as Vancouver and Prince George to demonstrate outside the Best Western on Greig Ave. where the hearings are taking place, while inside the hotel lawyers from the province will present the B.C. government’s “no” decision on the project in its current form. Among the other 34 individuals and groups presenting for or against the project include nine First Nations, Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen and the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce. Enbridge is the first up and has two hours to present their final argument. The other presenters have an hour each, which means the hearings could last well over a week, according to National Energy Board spokesperson Kristen Higgens. Those arguing in favour of the project are looking to prove that Enbridge’s environmental checks and fiscal plan make the proposed 1,170 km twin bitumen and condensate pipeline safe and worthwhile for stakeholders along the route. The proposed pipeline would extend from the Alberta oil sands to a terminal near Kitimat on the B.C. coast with the bitumen then transported by tanker to processing facilities abroad.
The proposal has been met with heavy opposition along the way, with protests and anti-Enbridge campaigns staged throughout the review process, which has seen 1,200 oral statements made since it began in January 2012 and the participation of 215 intervenors – people or groups who submit written material and engage in formal debate. “Only a handful have presented in favour and thousands have spoken out against it,” said Mikael Jensen, who is organizing the upcoming protests, set for the day before and the first day of the hearing. The Joint Review Panel has until December 31 to present their decision to the federal government, at which point the cabinet will make the final call on whether to approve the project. The B.C. government submitted their written statement last month opposing the project in its current form, and will now follow that up with their oral component. Listed as “British Columbia, The Province of,” the province is placed fifth on the list of presenters with lawyers Elisabeth Graff and Christopher H. Jones making the final statements on the government’s behalf. The June 17 presentations are open to the public and will also be available through a webcast on the National Energy Board website.

PTI approved Continued from page 1 Traffic was a major public concern, and according to the staff report, PTI will rely primarily on shuttles to move its guests, but PTI will pave Loganberry Street. No other traffic management measures are being considered by PTI at the moment, but the District say they will monitor traffic complaints. A tree buffer will be in place to shield the facility from nearby residents. Explaining his opposition to adopting the bylaw, Phil Germuth said that it’s not any problem he has with the PTI company or necessarily with work camps in a town, but rather his ongoing concerns with how the town’s administration, and council, has handled the entire procedure. “I was more voting against it because of the process we used,” he said. Namely there are questions he didn’t feel were adequately answered ahead of adoption, including possible traffic problems.
He’d rather studies be done now and not wait for a problem, he said. He also wished residents were more included in the process from the outset. The stipulation that at least 80 per cent of the beds have to be used for workers is also an area he felt could have been fine tuned, and by that he means including language that prevented people from living there on a permanent basis. “I don’t want Kitimat to be a fly infly out, a work community for the workers,” he said. He understands the needs for construction workers but he would have rather had language that prevented people from staying in the lodge involved in the operation, rather the construction, of Kitimat’s proposed projects. “Being on council is a learning process, and next time if anything like this comes up I’ll definitely be speaking out earlier to try to get council more involved in the process and try to make

He would have rather the town approach each possible proposal, if there are more, individually, rather than changing the wording to say they could be open to more such developments. PTI Group was sought for comment on the approval however no one could be reached by press deadline.

Money raised from the sale goes towards book and furniture purchases for the library.
Council has directed staff to flip the taxi and handicap parking stalls in Mountainview Square. Councillor Edwin Empinado, who is the town’s representative to the Advisory Commission for Persons with Disabilities, moved for the change at the May 21 council meeting. He had also initially presented a motion to resize the handicap parking stalls in front of the Super Valu store, but withdrew the motion on the grounds that work had already taken place. In the case of Mountainview Square, two handicap parking stalls in front of the former Ed’s Bake Shop were to be repainted as taxi stalls, while the taxi stalls closer to Overwaitea would become the handicap stalls. In Empinado’s background to his motion he said the taxi stalls as they were, were not heavily used, while the handicap parking stalls proved challenging for offloading people from vehicles. His proposal would be safer, he said. He told councillors that input from taxi companies was included at the commission and there were no concerns regarding the change. The motion passed unanimously.

Do we need a little support from the top? While no one from Kitimat was at the recent Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference in Vancouver — and that’s fine, as best I can tell there wouldn’t have been a huge benefit — out of the coverage I’ve seen on it suggests that infrastructure funding was among the top issues. What I read — specifically from a June 2 article in The Globe and Mail — is that small towns are facing greater financial scrutiny even as towns demand better infrastructure funding. I didn’t see Kitimat’s name come up, but the discussion had me thinking about our own town and where we stand. I kept thinking back to council’s discussions on their five-year financial plan and how they hacked away to prevent rises of eight per cent a year on our tax bills. The money from those tax rises were set to go to things like road improvements and needed maintenance to Haisla Bridge, AKA our only river crossing. So I wondered, in the context of the FCM conference, where Kitimat stood. Can we stand to trim back, or are we just not getting enough? Well, it feels like the council is trimming the best they can. But even that is sometimes not enough. To even out the proposed future tax increases staff had to assume new revenues from industrial projects. Perhaps there’s more that can be done from the higher levels of government to give places like Kitimat a boost. I’m hesitant to say we just need to be given more because I’m sure there are a lot of communities out there who could stand to have more, and everyone can’t have it all. So I’d hate to say that Kitimat is a special case that just deserves more because we are who we are. But we are who we are, a town at the frontier of B.C.’s energy hopes. Perhaps B.C.’s municipal auditor can work with northern towns to crunch the numbers, and figure out where infrastructure funding is needed most. Maybe we’re actually better off than I think. But with a hotel complex proposed for up the hill, and word that they’ll have to look at solutions to the town’s aging infrastructure, we’re seeing growth of which our current infrastructure is being challenged. I’m not suggesting anything is crumbling, but I just hope we’re not going to face down a huge bill to bring things up to modern standards, and potentially throttle developments and industry construction right off the bat. If so, then we need the help. Cameron Orr
Northern Gateway is not dead One of Premier Christy Clark’s first tasks of the new term will be to resume trade talks with Alberta and Saskatchewan. Several daunting tasks await. Clark must repair relations with Alberta Premier Alison Redford after B.C.’s theatrics over oil pipelines before the election, and prepare for the results of a federal environmental review of the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal in the fall. Some people were surprised on Friday when the B.C. government released its final written submission to the federal environmental review panel on Northern Gateway. It was widely interpreted as B.C.’s outright rejection of the project, but it’s not as simple as that. Clark and B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake signalled several times before the election that they were not getting the answers they wanted from Enbridge. But they stuck to the principle that the hearings must be completed. The NDP repeated for months that the B.C. Liberal government had forfeited its own review and handed juris-
From the Legislature Tom Fletcher diction over the environmental assessment to Ottawa. In fact, a pipeline that runs across two provinces is by definition a matter of federal jurisdiction. B.C. could have held its own parallel set of hearings, which was the NDP’s stated preference, but in no circumstance does the province have a veto. And both the B.C. Liberal government and Enbridge were careful to leave the door open for further talks. A closer reading of their comments shows that the key difference at this stage is one of timing. “The panel must determine if it is appropriate to grant a certificate for the project as currently proposed on the basis of a promise to do more study and planning after the certificate is granted,” Lake said. “Our government does
not believe that a certificate should be granted before these important questions are answered.” According to Enbridge executive Janet Holder, those important questions can’t all be answered until the hearings are over. The company maintains that every river crossing and spill response plan can’t be done in detail during the two-year hearings. B.C.’s final submission runs to nearly 100 pages. It goes into detail on the inconsistencies and unanswered questions on such vital topics as whether diluted bitumen can sink in water. In short, the province argues that it can sink if the oil is in fresh water, or if it is exposed to weathering so lighter fractions evaporate, or if it is mixed with sediments that increase its density. These are pertinent conditions if heavy oil were to leak into a river in springtime, when water runs fast and cold and brown with sediment. Then there are the obstacles presented by responding to a spill in remote wilderness and heavy snow. Continued on page 5

A new summer for Bear Aware Darcie Reid and Dana Amado had just finished giving their spiel to some Radley Park campers about how to be bear aware when they took off around the corner to find some more campers. The occupant of the next camp site they found wouldn’t need any lecture on how bears behave: he was one. A black bear was standing on a picnic table eating away at the remnants of the campers’ crab.
Reid and Amado slowly backed away, but not before realizing that, yes, this is exactly what they’ve been talking about. “We actually had to use our skills that we preached to everyone else,” said Amado. That was in 2012, and now for the second year in a row, the two are returned as the coordinators of the District of Kitimat’s Bear Aware program. The students’ approach is to get people aware of all the bear attractants they might

They’ll be knocking on people’s doors and going to businesses making sure people know how to be bear aware. They started this year in May, earlier than they did in 2012, and are finding that people’s habits are starting off worse than they did in 2012, when they first set up in June. But they think people are just slowly starting to realize bear season is here, With the season of bears now being realized, they hope people
will work better, and that includes the several businesses they’ve seen with dumpsters not properly secured. They also plan to get into the schools before they let out for the summer and speak directly to kids. The two can be reached with bear related questions by e-mail at kitimatbearaware@ hotmail.ca, or by calling 250-639-6082. They also have a Facebook page and can be found on the District of Kitimat’s webpage at www.kitimat.ca.
Conservation Officers give bear safety tips
Students at Nechako Elementary, as well as special guests, gather around the school’s new Trail Rider. The school held a demonstration of the specialized device which allows people with mobility limitations to still enjoy trail walks. The item was purchased through generous donations from community businesses and the District of Kitimat.
Final hearings Continued from page 1 The deadline to submit written material, which was required to participate in the oral hearings, was May 31. Jensen’s press release also says the larger demonstration of the two will be Sunday, June 16 at 2 p.m. beginning in George Little Park. Speakers in-
clude Art Sterritt, Executive Director, Coastal First Nations and Gerald Amos, Chair, Friends of Wild Salmon with live performances by Rachelle Van Zanten and the Gitlaxdax Nisga’a Dancers. This is the third time the hearings have been in Terrace, the first time in January 2012 at the beginning of the process.
Northern Gateway Continued from page 4 Given both provincial and aboriginal opposition in B.C., the Enbridge pipeline is unlikely to be imposed, and last week Conservative cabinet minister James Moore clearly ruled that out. The B.C. government has consistently maintained that the current project does not meet Clark’s often-repeated five con-
ditions, including the vaguely defined “fair share” of revenues, and Moore said the federal government agrees with those conditions. The B.C. government has to face some other uncomfortable realities as well. If heavy oil pipelines are such a risk, how does B.C. manage the one that has stretched
across remote and populated areas for 60 years? Does the government take a stand against new pipelines, and then watch as rail cars full of heavy oil cross those same rivers? No permit is required for that, and in fact there are more hazardous materials than oil moving by rail and road across the province today.
Conservation Officer It is that time of year again; bears are coming out of their hibernation and some have already showed up in our communities. Bears that are attracted into our communities and work camps by poor waste management quickly learn to associate people with food and lose their natural fear of humans. These habituated bears may cause unexpected and unsafe bear-human encounters. They may turn over garbage cans and in some cases may violently protect garbage that they consider theirs. Habituated bears eventually end up being shot by agencies whose responsibility it is to maintain the public safety (like the Conservation Officer Service and RCMP). The Conservation Officer Service advises the public to be bear-smart regarding anything that might attract bears during the spring, summer and fall. If possible, place garbage bins in securely locked buildings. Bring out garbage bins on garbage removal day only and rinse them after. Double bag smelly waste like fish offal and place it in the freezer until garbage
removal day. Feed your pets indoors or clean up any food your pet did not eat. Take bird seed feeders and bird suet down until winter arrives — birds do not need additional food during the spring, summer and fall. Clean your barbecue by turning up the heat and remove the grease trap after each use. Do not deposit smelly matters like egg shells, fish offal and cooked food in compost piles, only deposit raw plant materials. When camping, store garbage, food, soap, detergent, tooth paste etc. out of reach from bears. If confronted with a habituated bear, please dial the toll-free Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) line at 1-877-952-7277. Anyone who repeatedly leaves bear attractants out may be issued a Dangerous Wildlife Protection Order and a monetary fine. This is to protect
both fellow citizens and bears. Remember: a fed bear is a dead bear. For further information to prevent and reduce bear-human conflicts, please visit the Bear Aware website at http://www.bearaware.bc.ca.

Community spirit on display Cameron Orr This year’s Relay for Life, held as usual at the track field for Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School on June 1, surpassed the fundraising total from last year. Beating $109,785, this year’s committee co-chair Ariel Winkelmeyer said they are currently at $114,000 and counting for donations. That came from 27 teams, representing about 250 participants, which Winkelmeyer said is a great turnout. She said kids in particular had a great time with a number of activities throughout the day designed for them, adding that
those games seemed to be a hit. But her personal highlight for the day was the efforts from the organizing committee and the volunteers, saying everyone was “on the ball” with their roles, keeping the whole operation running seamlessly. From here, the committee will meet one last time to catch up and review on this year’s event and brainstorm ideas for next year. Overall, she said she is pleased with this year’s event, noting weather cooperated, “which is half the battle,” and again emphasizing the volunteers kept things running smoothly.
Jackie Rutsatz provided these photos of families and children having a great time at the Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School track field, where the Kitimat Relay for Life was held on June 1.

Corrections 1) In the June 5 Sentinel in Malcolm Baxter’s column, a correct statement in his original submission was edited into an error. He correctly wrote that total voter turnout was seven higher than in 2005, not seven per cent. 2) In a mix-up in communication, the Heritage Walk as seen on the front page of the May 29 paper was actually organized by programmer Jocelyn Iannarelli of the Kitimat Snowflake Seniors Centre.

The Northern Spirit dragon boat team, during a practice in early May. The team works hard to prepare for a number of competitions in the year, including in Prince Rupert, and in Kitimat’s own dragon boat regatta.
A decade of paddles on the water The Northern Spirit marks 10 years as a team
Cameron Orr As the Northern Spirit dragon boat team began hitting the waters this year, they were marking the start of their 10th year as a team. The all-women’s team were splitting their attention between training for a May 25th regatta in Prince Rupert and celebrating their 10 years on the 31st. While the team has grown substantially over the past decade, many original members still remain dedicated to the sport. Among those early
members is Ruth Mills, who explained the team began with Maryann Thompson who wanted to gather some ladies to compete in Vancouver at the Alcan Dragon Boat Festival. “We gathered a group of mothers and daughters and friends and just practiced for a few months,” said Mills, saying they brought back a bronze medal that year.
Spirit for its rise in popuThe Northern Spirit larity. And of 10 year club: course Kitimat Ruth Mills now has an annual dragon Melanie LaPointe boat regatta at Cynthia Cridge Minette Bay Carole Gagnon Marina. Cheryl Brown “We call ourselves socially comFrom then everyone was hooked on the sport, petitive,” said team coach and spread it to neighbour- Michelle Wakita, who has ing communities. Now been with the team for Terrace and Prince Rupert around eight years. “Northern Spirit is such have their own teams and a great, dynamic group of she credits the Northern
incredible women,” she said. She said at all ages the team is very competitive, but those who have been with the team from the start are indeed the most eager to win. “They give their all in every practice,” she said.
Carole Gagnon, another in the 10-year club, remembers how theirs was the first dragon boat in the northwest, and how the team has grown with each passing year. “Now we have a more dedicated, competitive team.”
Kitimat teams take top prizes in Rupert
Some things areare justjust better together. Some things better together.
Dragon boaters competed in Prince Rupert with Kitimat taking the top spots. Martina Perry photo. Shaun Thomas Paddlers from across the Northwest were in Prince Rupert on Saturday, May 25 as the Rainbow Warriors hosted a Dragon Boat Day in the harbour. The day included competition in two divisions, and it was teams from
Kitimat that took home the top prize in both. In the A Division, the RTA Youth Dragons bested the RTA Dragons with a time of 1:18.04 compared to 1:18:74. Third place in the division was the Tragically Quick, also from Kitimat,
with a time of 1:22:69. In the B Division, Northern Spirit handily won with a time 1:27:96, followed by Motley Crew of Prince Rupert at 1:32:97. Rounding out the top three was the Lakelse Dragons with a time of 1:41:09.
