Walking tall on history Cameron Orr Should the town be considering extending the walkway system to go through Coghlin Park at the viewpoint? The Kitimat Heritage Group posed that question when they joined councillors for a tour of some of the town’s walkways last week during a Committee of the Whole meeting. The full council, some staff and the committee members embarked on an unusual outdoors meeting for part of the evening on June 24 to see walkways which may need work, some which have almost completely disappeared underneath growth. But before anyone took off on the tour, the two sides gathered to find out their concerns. Among those was from Heritage Committee member Walter Thorne, who emphasized the importance of the system to the community. “We would like, as a group, to suggest that that walkway would be very much in keeping with the original plan and the original intent of how things were seen,” he said. Those plans, he hopes, would be to see a Coghlin Park extension on the walkway. “The crowing of our sidewalk system would be to connect the existing Haisla Hill one somehow, to one that would go by Coghlin Park...preferably on the water side,” he said. Director of Engineering Tim Gleig said that a Coghlin Park system hasn’t been officially discussed in some years, but a report was made once on the prospect by the Leisure Services department, which pegged it at a $750,000 price tag. Speaking after the walking tour, Heritage Group member Peter Ponter said the purpose of the walk was to give councillors a better understanding of the walkway system. “When I first came to Kitimat it was one of the things that I was impressed with, the walkway system,” he said. “It’s unusual that there are places that might be quicker to walk to than drive. The heritage component is also crucially important. “[Kitimat] was built as a garden city, and there are other examples of places like this, but most of them are just part of a town, or part of a city, not the whole town.” He added, “It seems like we have a readymade opportunity to help people exercise. You could call our walkways an investment in health care.” Mayor Joanne Monaghan says maintaining the town’s walkways are a priority for her as the demographics keep shifting to an older community.

1.30 INCLUDES TAX

KUTE employees Adrien Goffinet, Josh O’Neill, and John Davidson demonstrate just how backed up the depot is - in this instance on office paper - but the same goes for cardboard, electronics, and other materials.

A $30K boost will keep KUTE running Kitimat Understanding the Environment (KUTE) is still struggling against a touch recycling economy and competition for employees from other industries. KUTE President Barb Hall and Director Ken Maitland presented their financial needs to councillors at the June 24 Committee of the Whole meeting, where they wanted another increase in their funding for the year in order to recruit a strong depot manager. Hall said that the depot is having trouble retaining long term managers due to so much activity in Kitimat as of late. “Not having a mature, long-term and experienced manager creates the situation we find ourselves in,” she said. Mismanagement has lead to a huge backlog of recyclables at their depot, which is taking away precious space and creating workplace safety issues, she said. “The back log of unsorted paper has been the result of many poor decisions when materials arrive in large quantities. This is limiting flow of materials and forcing the workers to handle these materials many times,” she said. She wants to be able to hire a manager at a rate of $18 an hour. Having a long-term, qualified manager will mean they can begin making progress on their intense back log. She said in a letter written to Council that in June they hired a new manager for the fourth time in seven months. KUTE has been participating in a program called Odyssey,

which gives people who need work experience the chance to do jobs to put on their resumes, but the work, while making progress, won’t get them to where they need to be by the time the program ends. At the committee of the whole meeting, it was moved that KUTE be given an extension to their $2,500 a month boost, first given in March. Now they’ll receive that extra, emergency funding to the end of the year, plus will receive an additional $850 per month to hire a new manager, and council also agreed to provide a $10,000 one-time booster for tasks relating to clearing their material backlog, including forklift training and other expenses. In total the extra funding to KUTE from the District of Kitimat adds up to $30,100. Councillors were unanimous in passing the motion. The mover, Mario Feldhoff, felt it was a worthwhile investment. “This money, in my mind, won’t cripple us,” he said, noting that they’ll look again at the funding the society needs once the 2014 budget process begins. In late March of this year, Hall explained the situation in the recyclables market. At the time they were facing a cardboard price of $50 a tonne, which has now dropped at least another $10 in value. Meanwhile office paper tumbled from $125 to $60 a tonne in March. Continued on page 7

Walking

Continued from page 1 “As we have an aging population and many of the seniors now have the ability to be in these electric scooters, it would be nice to have all of our walkways intact as they were when the town was built,” said Monaghan. “It makes really good arteries to get around in town.” Speaking on council’s walk itself, she said some people on the tour may not have seen the particular walkways on display before. “I think it’s always good to get first hand information on items that you probably will be voting on,” she said. “Otherwise you’re blind voting.” She’s not sure the next time that council will be debating or voting on specific walkway issues. But there are details that council does not yet have. “Right now we have no budget for saying ‘this walkway is going to cost this much’.” The tour went to Gander Street, Osprey, Kechika and Coghlin Park.

Safety Tip of the Week Clean your BBQ after every use to reduce bear encounters.

NTL The provincial cabinet minister in charge of BC Hydro says he’s going to find out why the Northwest Transmission Line project cost has ballooned to $736 million. “I will be meeting often, quickly, with B.C. Hydro to determine how this happens. Our government does not support this way of managing capital projects, and we will get to the bottom of it,” energy minister Bill Bennett told the legislature yesterday when pressed in Question Period for an explanation. Just last year the project to run a power line 344km north of the Skeena Substation near Terrace to Bob Quinn on Hwy37 North was pegged at $561 million. That cost was revised to a range of between $561 million and $617 million this spring and then revised again to $736 million in budget documents released last week.

Accident A 74-year-old woman is dead and a 78-year-old man is in hospital following a fatal car accident that happened on the Nisga’a Hwy last Thursday. “An elderly couple traveling north on Highway 113 in a 2000 Ford pickup, lost control leaving the road and landing upside down in the northbound ditch,” reads the RCMP release. A member of Terrace RCMP came across the single vehicle collision, approximately 11km north of Terrace, around 7:30 p.m., June 27. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor. West Pacific Region Traffic Services along with the Integrated Collision Analyst and Reconstruction Services continue to investigate the cause of the collision.

RTA update

Continued from page 1 “In some regards we probably accelerated certain elements of the physical construction,” he said, partly through the lack of snow. Right now there are about 1,200 workers on the project, with 1,000 of those living in the camp. He said 300 people working on the project but not in the camp come from the Kitimat and Terrace area. “This is by far a Canadian worker-driven project,” he said, saying many other workers are from Canada, mostly from B.C. He didn’t specifically say how many were temporary foreign workers from the United States. As for the ongoing issue of increased sulphur dioxide (SO2) levels at the new plant, he said that the company did receive their amended environmental permit, but an appeal process has been initiated. He repeated earlier statements from others in

the company that while SO2 is increasing about 56 per cent overall, the per tonne emissions are remaining the same from the old smelter, and the increase of 27 tonnes a day to 42 is a factor of higher production. With last year’s signing of a new labour agreement with the CAW 2301 union, he said they’ll be set in that regard to 2017. He said that the rest of 2013, on the operations side, will be finding workers their new roles in the new smelter, and then in 2015 will be pushing hard on new training. “That’s tight,” he said of the timeline. “It’s a challenge because you can’t go too early because we still have the old plant to run...can’t go too early because those people would be trained but not have the new plant to use the new skills on.” The smelter rebuild is budgeted at an estimated $3.3 billion dollars, not including the second tunnel at the Kemano powerhouse.

Golf and the Environment

When you are out enjoying a round, think about whether or not your actions out on the green are helping the environment. Here are some suggestions on how you can be ‘green’ on the greens: Walk instead of driving a golf cart when navigating the golf course. If you do decide to drive, make sure to stay on the designated paths. Replace any and all divots. Do not litter. Keep your trash until you see a waste bin. Purchase recyclable equipment (biodegradable golf tees and golf balls that are made of rawhide rather than plastic).

Making the plan on Kitimat’s Walkways The viewpoint truly is the most iconic scene in all of Kitimat. The first place you see in and out of town. (Well, yeah, unless you take the turn at Kitamaat Village Road or Nalabila.) So from a social perspective it does make a bit of sense the Kitimat Heritage Group’s desire to have a walkway built through Coghlin Park, or at least across the road from it. It would make the viewpoint more accessible, and would tie the walkway on Haisla Hill to an extended system that would complement the whole outdoor experience. But, and the Heritage Group may string a photo of me on a dartboard for saying this*, I don’t think installing that extension is that important for the time being. (*I know in reality they are all kind people who would never do that!) But that said, a good, serious, strong look at Kitimat’s walkways should be in order in the near future. Many walkways are being overgrown or disappearing entirely. Drainage issues are a main reason some walkways have been decommissioned entirely, according to the engineering director at a recent Committee of the Whole. But I’m sure there’s not many people at all who want to see any further removal of Kitimat’s pedestrian backbone. I’m not, however, blind that maintaining the system we have is expensive. That’s why a Coghlin Park walkway is a nice idea but something to stick on a wish list for maybe 10 years from now. Our Official Community Plan as of 2008 does emphasize within its pages that maintaining the walkway system is one of the plan’s overall goals for the community. With that in mind perhaps it’s time to create an Official Community Walkway Plan. Not with an eye on removal, but to put down plainly how much will have to be spent to maintain the systems and which new walkways the town wants to install, if any. Maybe we’ll find that the $300,000 that went to the walkway management plan this year should be bumped up. As the mayor said in the article this week, they don’t have a plan that outlines how much each walkway will cost the town in maintenance. Truly the walkways in Kitimat are unique and an important part of the local infrastructure. To that end, it should be spelled out clearly, with community input, what plan the town has or wants for the walkways. Cameron Orr

days of rain to the promise of a scorching Sunday, so, as a Kitmatian, I’ll pack my rain gear, as a precaution. I said Canada Day is more like thanksgiving to me and that earns local emphasis when I compare my proposed Canada Day weekend to that on the many thousands of Albertans facing economic disaster, possible the loss of their homes, following the sudden and disastrous floods in the southern part of that province last week. Full recovery could take 10 years according to Premier Alison Redford and it’s prudent to recognize that Calgary’s “flood of the century” occurred only in 2005. So for us in Kitimat it’s a reminder that it can happen anywhere, so be prepared and be mindful that so many others will be up to their knees in mud, cleaning, while we have our knees bare in the warm lapping waves at the beach on another long weekend. And even if it does rain, it’ll not be a deluge to wash away our homes and livelihoods. In retrospect, despite my inner rage at the way the NHL played the Stanley Cup playoffs this season, I have to say watching Jonathan Toewes joy at hoisting Lord Stanley’s many-tiered Canadian mug in the Chicago “madhouse on Madison” was a thrilling hockey moment.

Liberals are looking for an LNG touchdown Baxyard Banter

by Malcolm Baxter msdbax@citywest.ca

Taking up where we left off last week, what are the Americans doing that could upset British Columbia’s LNG cart? Let’s first make clear that at this point the fly in the ointment is just one US project, Cheniere’s Sabine Pass LNG export complex in Louisiana . It will be producing 9 million tonnes of LNG a year by 2016 - that’s not pie in the sky, you can take that the bank - and plans to ultimately boost production to 27 million tonnes. And it already has 20-year contracts with five major customers to take up twothirds of the eventual capacity. That’s in stark contrast to Kitimat LNG which is still trying to sign just one contract. Cheniere calculates that based on a price of US$4 per million British Thermal Units at Henry Hub, the US benchmark for natural gas, it can deliver LNG to Asia at around $10.50 per mBTUs. And it has been signing deals based on Henry Hub.

Janine McArdle, senior vice president of gas monetisation for Apache, has already made it clear that Kitimat LNG is a non-starter with prices based on the US benchmark. So how is it that Cheniere can live with prices that Apache/Chevron cannot entertain? They are very different animals. Sabine Pass is what’s called a brown field project. It was originally built as an LNG import facility back in the days when imported natural gas was competitive with domestic US supply. So, at the risk of oversimplification, all it has had to do is convert to export. Unlike every green field project being talked about here in the Northwest, it doesn’t have to build a pipeline, a tank farm, a plant or a terminal. It even already has two tugs to guide the LNG tankers in and out. In other words its capital costs are a fraction of those of proposals such as Kitimat LNG. Ipso facto, it can make the finances work at Henry Hub pricing. But despite all of the above, there is no need for us to throw up our hands and give up on Northwest LNG. While the projected Sabine Pass production of 27 million tonnes a year is a lot - it’s more than the projected production of

the Kitimat LNG and Shell group plants put together - you need to stack that up against the total of Japanese LNG imports last year of more than 80 million tonnes. Add in South Korea, India, Pakistan, Europe et al and demand for the foreseeable future will be way more than the likes of Sabine Pass can fill. So I think it unlikely that oil-linked LNG contracts are going to vanish any time soon and therefore there should still be ample room for a couple of Northwest projects to proceed. However, the US fly in the ointment has introduced an unwelcome wrinkle that has obviously delayed sales agreements as buyers understandably jockey for the best price they can get. Now, to return to what I said last week about not envying Rich Coleman his job as BC’s Minister of Natural Gas Development. As I mentioned then, premier Christy Clark said his task was “ensure British Columbia seizes the economic opportunity of a lifetime, liquefied natural gas (etc, etc).” The word “ensure” is silly in that it continues the pretence that the province has any influence over whether these projects go ahead. As I have outlined in these two columns, there are many factors - and trust me, there are more than I have had space

Uplifting Continued from page 4 Toewes, since his three innovative and brilliant shootout goals against the USA to get Canada into the finals and win a second straight World Junior Championship gold in 2007, has been one of the young players I’ve most admired since the turn of the century. He hoisted the Stanley Cup for the second time in three years last week, re-emphasizing his stature as one of Canada’s best young players, albeit he toils in Chicago.

It was a terrific series and for me, watching the Bruins “execute” the Toronto Maple Leafs in just a few seconds of play, as they were already booking hotels against their next opponent. What happened in the last 75 seconds of game six of the final proved once again “what goes around, comes around.” Astonishing! As most Canadians were getting another beer for the overtime, Chicago combined for the winning goal just 17

seconds after Toewes set up Bickell to tie it with just 16 seconds left in the second last minute. Towes was on the bench when Dave Bolland surprised Tuuka Rask with the winner to totally silence the raucous Boston fans who had it won in their own minds. Boston rallied in the final seconds but could not get a good shot on Corey Crawford. Memorable!

Mayor responds to concerns

Dear sir, An open letter to the community: As many people are aware, Council has recently considered a number of changes to the Official Community Plan and the Zoning section of the Kitimat Municipal Code. When changes are contemplated to these areas a public hearing is required. There have been some questions regarding Council’s ability to discuss these items after public hearings are closed. The purpose of a public hearing is for Council to listen to the public and receive your input to assist us in making a decision. Prior to any hearing, people may review all documents provided to Council by staff and the public, and at the hearing people may listen to others and provide comments in response. It has been confirmed by staff that once the public hearing concludes, individual Council members take all the input received and consider it when making a decision on the proposed

change to the Official Community Plan or zoning regulation. Council members cannot receive new information after the hearing. The public must have access to the same information as Council and will not have the opportunity to comment on information which comes forward after a hearing unless another public hearing is held. Council remains open to speak to you about other items, but we can’t discuss public hearing items after the hearing is closed. Staff may provide Council with clarifying reports on information received at the public hearing. Also, please visit the District’s web page at www.kitimat.ca for additional information on public hearings. I truly appreciate community interest in the District’s activities and invite the public to attend Council meetings at our new chambers in the Northwest Community College building at 606 Mountainview Square. Joanne Monaghan, Mayor

Reader’s Write

to cover - that are completely beyond the control of the province. With the Canadian Football League season about to start, allow me the following: the province will be the pom-pom waving cheerleader on the sidelines but only the global economics quarterback can throw the touchdown pass. And I remain hopeful he will.

Pipeline gets extension Pacific Trails Pipelines, the pipe set to serve the proposed Kitimat LNG terminal in Kitimat, has received an extension on its environmental assessment permit, allowing to June 26, 2018 to get the project “substantially started.” Originally to have started by June this year, Paul Wyke, a spokesperson for Apache Canada, said that since Apache’s purchase of PTP from Pacific Northern Gas in February 2011, “it was always our intention to apply for an extension to the original [certificate].” He said the plan is for the pipeline construction to “dovetail” with the construction of the Kitimat LNG facility. Site work is continuing as Apache and Chevron Canada work to milestones include finalizing long-term gas sales and completing their engineering studies, said Wyke.

Economic development is necessary to survive Dear sir, “There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty.” - Margaret Thatcher Did you ever stop to think when you moved to B.C. that this province is a “port” province? The other ports are in Eastern Canada. A port is somewhere ships come from all over the world bringing things and picking up articles to be taken to other places in the world. Ports are busy places, have things we want and probably some things we don’t. If we are really against ports then we should move to provinces that don’t have any, like the prairies or maybe Elliot Lake come to mind. This province seems to have more than it’s fair share of people who are against everything. They don’t want logging, coal through their area, oil, gas, gas, fracking, fishing in rivers and oceans, no planes over their area, no industry and absolutely no camps for workers to live in. But they want hospitals, schools, shopping, theaters, nothing but parks, homes worth a fortune, jobs and education. How do we expect to have everything if there is no economic development? And I realize EcDev is not always great, but much needed if we want to survive. Something I am against, but no one would agree with me, is taking the land away from animals, who were here first. Clear the land, build your houses then complain that the wild animals are invading your space, instead of learning

to live with them! You put your smelly household garbage out in plastic bags, feed the birds in the summer and wonder why wild animals come. Give your head a shake. See, we all have an axe to grind but some make sense and some don’t. In this community alone there are many things that should be improved but are any of you CAVES (citizens against virtually everything) stand up for them? What about unsightly houses, buildings, garbage in parks and on streets, run down apartments, etc? Don’t see any protests about that, only protests about something that might improve the community. Everyone is afraid they might offend someone so nothing happens. Clean this place up! If you don’t want planes over your house, don’t move to Richmond. If you don’t want to live at a port, don’t move to B.C. If you want to be against everything, carry on, you’re doing a good job. When you read this you’ll think this “old broad” is all over the map but just give some thought to some of my ramblings. Hopefully the editor won’t think I’ve “lost it”, but these are some of my thoughts and only my thoughts, so don’t call me and complain if you don’t want an earful. Keep smiling, I’m watching and listening, Roma Burnett

HST goes out, ICE comes in

The Kinsmen Club of Kitimat recently donated $750 to the Kitimat General Hospital Foundation, proceeds from their 50/50 draw held during Bull-O-Rama this year. Pictured (l-to-r) are Christine Dielschneider of the Kinsmen Club, Barb Campbell, accepting the cheque on behalf of the Kitimat General Hospital Foundation, and Kinsmen members Dan Stenson, Marie Striker, Sharole Bell, Rachel Stelmacker, Sarah Crampton, Lesley Nunes and Stephen Ong. Submitted

Minister speaks to Kitimat’s prospects Editor’s note: The Sentinel sought an interview with Minister Rich Coleman about his minister of Natural Gas Development position. Due to time limitations at the ministry’s end, we agreed to accept a pre-written piece from Rich Coleman: British Columbia has an unprecedented opportunity to create economic growth from our province’s most promising resource – natural gas. The Government of British Columbia’s aspirations for the natural gas sector came to the forefront with the release of the BC Jobs Plan in 2011, where we pledged to develop a liquefied natural gas – or LNG - industry on our northwest coast. The response from global industry players and prospective trade partners was immediate, and continues to strengthen. Milestones reached in the last year alone include several new project announcements and significant investments in B.C.’s natural gas sector. In Kitimat, we have seen major progress. LNG Canada, a project proposed by Shell Canada and their co-venture partners – KOGAS, Mitsubishi, and PetroChina - received an export license from the National Energy Board in February. A project description has been filed to initiate the provincial environmental assessment process. The facility could begin exporting LNG in 2019 provided all timelines are met. The Kitimat LNG proposal is also moving forward, lead by Apache Corp. and Chevron Canada. Achievements include an approval to export natural gas following a successful applica-

tion with Canada’s National Energy Board. This past February, the Province signed an Economic Partnership Agreement with 15 First Nations along the pipeline route for the Kitimat LNG project. The Pacific Trails Pipeline

Rich Coleman route extends from Kitimat to Summit Lake, north of Prince George. This agreement, worth $32 million, is an example of our government’s collaborative work with First Nations to ensure Aboriginal communities benefit from LNG and industrial planning. The Haisla Nation, one of the signatories of the Economic Partnership Agreement mentioned, are also partners in the Douglas Channel Energy project. The Haisla Nation welcomed the participation of two new international investors for the project. This project could become the first facility to export LNG from B.C.’s north coast.

Up and down the coastline we have seen interest from major industry players, with the momentum leading us to over ten LNG proposals in various stages of planning. The milestones are far from over. This month I was appointed the Minister responsible for the new Ministry of Natural Gas Development by Premier Christy Clark. The creation of this ministry, as well as a dedicated Cabinet Working Group on Liquefied Natural Gas, demonstrates how sincere our commitment is, and how real the opportunity has become. A key priority this year will be the work to establish a B.C. Prosperity Fund, which will secure wealth from tomorrow’s LNG development and protect it for future generations. In fact, revenues could be in excess of $100 billion over the next 30 years. As part of our plan for a debt-free B.C., the Prosperity Fund will reduce cost burdens for families, and strengthen the economy with services people rely on – in Kitimat and all areas of the province. The safety and security of British Columbians and the environment remains our top priority. We will remain a leader in responsible development and pipeline oversight as the LNG industry continues to grow. Working with industry, First Nations, and local communities, we will continue to advance the opportunity we have created for Kitimat, our province, and the rest of Canada. In the very near future, B.C. will be renowned as a global supplier of the world’s cleanest burning fossil fuel.

Rod Link British Columbians may have thought they got rid of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) this spring but the provincial government has now quietly tacked a new levy onto natural gas heating bills. Called the Innovation Clean Energy (ICE) Fund, the tax amounts to .4 per cent of natural gas consumed. It appeared on natural gas bills as of April 1, the same date the HST disappeared, and also applies to fuel oil and some propane consumption. The tax is intended to subsidize companies and governments of various kinds developing so-called “green energy” technologies such as ones using solar, wind, wood waste or geothermal power. It’s actually the second time a tax of this type has appeared – it was also called the ICE Fund when it first surfaced in 2007 as an add-on to heating bills. Payments to companies began the following year. The tax disappeared in 2010, the same year the HST was introduced, but not before handing out approximately $60 million of the $68 million collected over its lifetime. The remainder of the money was disbursed to various projects after the ICE tax ended. This time around provincial officials expect the tax to bring in approximately $7 million a year for subsidies to green technology companies and projects. Authority for the ICE levy is contained within the provincial Social Services Tax Act which is why it was stopped when the provincial sales tax was replaced with the HST in 2010. So when the HST was stopped,

the provincial sales tax reappeared and with it, the ICE tax. The original ICE monies went to companies such as Earth Renu Energy Corp of Delta which received $1 million to turn urban organic waste into natural gas. The T’Sou-ke First Nation at Sooke also received $1 million for a green heating and cooling system for use in an industrial greenhouse. But not all of the announced projects in the first ICE go around actually did receive money. That list includes Pytrade, a company which had its eyes fixed on Kitimat, and which, according to a July 2011 provincial government press release, was to receive $1 million. Pytrade’s plan was to use a fastheating process to convert wood waste and other bio mass into oil to create electricity and to create biocoal and biogas. Kitimat’s municipal council embraced the project but nothing has taken place since early announcements. “Pytrade did not enter into a contribution agreement with the province and no portion of the $1 million was administered,” said the provincial government in response to questions. “In March 2012 funding was rescinded as the project did not sufficiently meet the program’s guidelines.” In all 17 initially approved projects either withdrew from the program or were rescinded, a value of $18.5 million, the province added. That money was then reallocated to other projects within the ICE program.

Kitimat Fire truck is on its way to Peru Cameron Orr The Kitimat Fire Department’s long out-of-service vehicle, Unit 21301, has now physically left town. The Sentinel reported in October 2012 that the fire truck was being donated to Firefighters Without Borders Canada for a trip to Peru where it would make a welcome addition to one of the many under-supplied fire departments in that area. As of June 21, that fire truck was on the road, packed with various supplies provided by the Kitamaat Village Fire Department and the Terrace Fire Department. Picking up the truck was Bob Dubbert, who is the president and director of appara-

tus and equipment for Firefighters Without Borders Canada. He said by July 17 the fire truck, and all the equipment that was going with it, would arrive in Peru. There are three trucks going down, one from Kitimat and two from Smithers. There’s also a 14-foot storage trailer heading down with it. Dubbert said that while the equipment might not pass British Columbia’s standards, it will still work great for those South American fire departments, who will repair the equipment and put on a new coat of paint. “This is a great alternative,” he said of throwing out old equipment.

He said helmets, for example, would have to be thrown out after an expiration date here in Canada, even if it was brand new and out of the box. Insurance won’t even cover vehicles after a certain point as well. Kitimat’s fire chief Trent Bossence said that it was about seven or eight years ago when the firetruck they’re sending was taken out of regular service and put into their training grounds. But even for the past four years it hasn’t been used at all, due to liability. Regardless of the local regulations, the truck is still in driveable shape and the pump does still work, although it will need some repair. But that will all take place and he said

he expects to see a photo of it in the near future, all fixed up and re-painted. He said it’s bittersweet to see the truck leave Kitimat after it has been with the department for so long, but he’s happy that it will have a second life. “We know it’s not going to a landfill... it’s actually going to get used some more,” he said. The truck is a 1978 Ford L9000. After leaving Kitimat, Dubbert was going to meet more volunteers in Beaverly, near Prince George, and he would connect with the two other trucks from Smithers. All the trucks and equipment will eventually be shipped out from Vancouver.

Continued from page 1 “We need it to be in the $90 a tonne [range],” Hall said in March about cardboard. She didn’t say how high office paper would need to go to make money on processing it but said as well it would have to go much higher. With this new infusion of money, KUTE should be set for the remainder of the year.

However there are potential changes on the horizon on how recycling is collected and processed, which could impact KUTE’s operations. The changes are coming from the province and may mean an even heavier load to the local recycling depot, depending on how it’s implemented. We’ll continue that story next week.

$900 million short in gov’t projections Tom Fletcher Government revenues have fallen $900 million short of February’s budget projections, and teachers and other government workers can expect no new money for wages, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said last Thursday. Bright spots for the B.C. economy include an expected recovery in natural gas prices from historic lows, and $500 million in savings on government operations, de Jong said in a post-election budget update. B.C. is continuing an effective freeze on public sector wage growth that began in 2010. Since the government’s “cooperative gains” mandate in 2012, nearly three quarters of union members have signed contracts with average pay increases of one to two per cent, financed through savings in other areas of operations. Most are two-year deals, with some halfway through. The projected surplus for this year is trimmed from $197 million in February to $153 million, and de Jong had to trim contingency funds to reach that. Tax hikes are unchanged from February, including a two-year increase for personal income over $150,000 and a tobacco tax increase set for October. The budget calls for $30 million in spending cuts this year, after last year’s reduction of $20 million in all ministries except health. The government’s “core review” of government operations is getting underway with a target of another $50 million in savings by the end of 2014, but no program targets are identified in the budget update. The price for natural gas, the key commodity for the government’s debt reduction plan, is forecast to rise from $2.25 per gigajoule this year to $2.51 and $2.89 in the next two years. Exports of liquefied natural gas to Asia, where prices are currently far higher, can’t begin until well after 2015. Lumber prices are forecast to decline, from a peak of US $348 per 1,000 board feet this year to $308 in 2014 and $300 in 2015. De Jong said the government’s asset sales plan is about $8 million ahead of projections, with about half of the properties, bonds and other financial holdings sold or in negotiations to sell. The goal is to raise $475 million for next year’s budget. Properties already sold include land on Tranquille Road in Kamloops, a school board office in Kelowna, surplus school land in Delta, vacant lots in Burnaby, Surrey and near Victoria General Hospital and former school sites in Surrey and North Vancouver. Properties going on the market include a former school board office in Surrey, a vacant site north of Kelowna once planned for a provincial prison, former school sites in Central Saanich, Sidney and north central Vancouver Island and land for LNG development in Kitimat. NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth blasted the B.C. government’s budget update, pointing to deteriorating financial conditions that make it even less likely the promised surplus will materialize by next spring. “Economic growth is down. It was forecast at 1.6 per cent. Now it’s down to 1.4 per cent,” Farnworth told the legislature. “Retail sales are down … Housing starts are down 13 per cent. People are leaving B.C. for Alberta and other stronger economies. That’s nine straight quarters where more people have left than arrived.”

The Kildala Out of School Care Program recieved a $20,000.00 grant from RBC. This is the second year that this program has won this grant from RBC. The program operated by the Kitimat Child Development Centre in Kildala Elementary School has 38 children registered from community schools, offering a social, art and learning program. Submitted

New book moves Forward Cameron Orr Mike Forward could have done what most do during time off from work with a newborn at home: nap in between the bouts of joy and panic. Yet the new father-for-a-second time didn’t fall into that usual routine entirely. By day he took care of the family, but in those precious off moments he wrote a book. Now available for purchase through Amazon, either in paperback form or in a Kindle e-edition, is Forward’s Alex Quinn and the Gemstones of Dunkel. He says the book takes inspiration from series like The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. And like most exciting fantasy stories, the story of his book began with a trek through the snow. “Where it began, I guess you could say it was last winter. I was walking to work one day through the snow and I just had an idea about two boys whose father disappeared and they find this stone that links them to this other world where they go looking for him,” he said. That idea lodged in his mind for months, until his leave from work gave him time. “I usually don’t get much further than writ-

ing a few pages, scrap it, [say] ‘that was a bad idea’ and call it a day,” he said. “But being off on parental leave now I got to the point where I sat down again and this idea was still in my head.” He quickly bashed out an outline to his story, a very basic synopsis which didn’t even include character names. Once the overall plot was worked out, he went to work fleshing out the characters and scenes. In the writing you may notice words taken from other languages, for instance the main bad guys in the book are called the Krieg, taken from the German word for war. “Once I got passed about 20 or 30 pages it was rolling at that point,” he said. Once his manuscript was completed, he took the draft to his wife to get a new perspective, and let her go to work with an editing pen. “She took to editing it, she liked it a lot,

kitimat

mini storage

Mike Forward and that was the process of how that was written.” Even though he has two boys of his own now, he said there aren’t many direct parallels to his kids and the ones in the story. K

“I certainly hope I’m not going anywhere for seven years,” he said, referring to the missing father of the story. But there are traits in the characters that he hopes for in his own family. “I like to think that my boys would exhibit some of the traits of the two boys in the book, which is generally kindness and thinking your way through problems, rather than just bully your way to the easy solutions,” he said. That was one of his own mandates in the story, go for clev-

er solutions and wits, rather than large scale battles. Depending on how the reception to his book goes, Forward has ideas for continuing the story. However that will certainly come about once his work is finished with this one.

Runners take off from the start line at the Walk/Run Festival at Riverlodge, which was held on June 15.

Cameron Orr

Great fun at Walk/Run festival Cameron Orr It’s a festival more than a race, so a good time is emphasized over people’s actual performance. Still, people put in great effort at the annual Walk/Run Festival, which was held on June 15. The event even brought out the very young, a three-year-old being the youngest participant this year. One of the event’s organizers, Cori Boguski, said that it was great to see teams

from both Nechako and Kildala elementary schools, plus all the family teams which had multiple generations coming out for the exercise. In the 21km run, Dwayne Felewich completed the route first, followed by Eric Caruana. For the same run for the women, Marlaina Rymer finished first, followed a few minutes later by Emily George. In the 10km walk, Zelia Marleau and Suzie Smeader walked across the finish

line simultaneously with a time of 1:37:48. In the 10km walk, in the men’s, Will Blair finished first with a 42:20 time, followed by Michael Voyer at 45:13 and Stacy Smeader at 46:55. For the women’s, Kaitlyn Hartmann walked across first with a 53:04 time, followed by Erin Baker a few seconds later, and Kathleen Cherry was third at 55:14 time. In the five kilometre walk and run, for the men’s, Dan Carrow finished first with

a time of 24:44, followed by Gregory Dolman with 26:25, and Mike Reid in third with 30:02. In the women’s, Laurel Neumann finished first with 25:14, then followed Julia Jacobs with 26:12 and then Janelle Hittel with 28:51. For the mini, 2.5 kilometre walk, Noah George completed the route first with a time of 19:17, then Benjomen George with 35:08. Jacob McIsaac finished third with 46:05.

Twenty strong years for Big Bike The Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike came through Kitimat again on June 20, an appropriate number considering it’s the bike’s 20th year riding through communities, raising money for the charity. This year also marks Terry Runion’s 17th year with the bike, who has headed up the Heart of Kitimat team and has been a volunteer and coordinator for the Heart and Stroke in Kitimat. “I started as a volunteer...after my father-in-law passed away from a heart attack,” she said. She said as heading up a team she has to always get 29 people together to ride, and the Heart of Kitimat team is a collection of business people, friends and family, and its aim has always been to support community spirit.

“Everybody coming from a different direction, but all coming together for one joint cause,” she said. Over 17 years, she said it’s always been fun, and riders keep their spirits up whether rain or shine, and there have been some serious drenchers over the years. The bike, out of 10 in the country, tours different communities, and Richard Rappel pilots the thing, and he said he’s been doing it since he retired in 1998. His most remarkable memory from the bike is from a ride which ended up taking place at night, which turned into a six mile ride. They had to push the bike up a few of the hills, all under the cover of darkness. The only good thing was it didn’t rain, he said.
