Clio Bay must be preserved Cameron Orr A proposed plan by the Kitimat LNG project to dump marine clay from the project site into nearby Clio Bay has stirred the ire of at least one local, and the concern of Kitimat Council. Rick Flegel, longtime resident and boater on the Douglas Channel, asked for council’s support to stop the proposed dumping plan. The plan is called the Clio Bay Restoration Project, and according to Chevron (a proponent behind Kitimat LNG, as well as Apache) it will cover the numerous submerged logs in the bay, and will restore it to natural health. But not everyone agrees Clio Bay needs restoration. “I just can’t believe that somebody would just go and dump mud into the bay,” said Flegel, adding, I think of Clio Bay as an aquarium. It’s there, it’s got habitat amongst the branches and what have you, and that’s all going to be covered.” Flegel, who has lived in Kitimat since the 1950s, said he fishes, crabs, and takes family to Clio Bay, and notes it’s a safe haven during high winds on the water. The Clio Bay project would likely require the bay to be closed to the public at certain times, the company told the Sentinel. Councillor Phil Germuth also provided a verbal report at the same meeting, expressing his concern regarding the project. “In fall of 2011, Kitimat LNG put out a community update letter which stated that Kitimat LNG is applying for a permit from Environment Canada to dispose of organic sediments at sea, two kilomtetres offshore from Bish Cove, in an area not traditionally used for fishing and away from most local boat activity,” he said. But with the site of dumping now being Clio Bay, he feels there will be a lot of impact from the proposal. As for the ecological claims, Germuth countered the claims from Chevron that submerged logs in the bay suck out oxygen and damage the aquatic environment. Germuth referred to a study by marine biologists from a few years ago who were looking at the Douglas Channel and used high powered cameras to see underwater. What they found was a lot of life. “In effect those logs have actually created a reef, where, like any other reef, an ecosystem was being sustained,” he said. Germuth closed with a letter he received from a Haisla member and boater, quoting a passage that says, “There is a very healthy ecosystem in Clio Bay. It is very unique.” Right now, Council has directed a meeting be set up with various groups, including the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Ministry of Environment, and the Haisla First Nation.

I believe the opportunity is that huge,” he told members of the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce. But approaching employment and training has to be done carefully. “We don’t want to have happen what did happen in Australia, which is they couldn’t fill the skilled labour positions needed so the price of the projects climbed.” He said if the province gets 13 projects going — which includes a number of smaller scale plants — he said that means $100 billion in eco-

Skeena MLA Robin Austin, who is the NDP’s Natural Gas Development Critic, also believes that investments need to be made sooner rather than later for the community. And on the matter of Coleman’s forward looking plans to address skills gaps, Austin said that needs to have happened yesterday. “There has been a shortage of job skills in the province of B.C. for a number of years, long before any poten-

Meanwhile Mayor Joanne Monaghan found the visit with Rich Coleman very interesting. Coleman and Kitimat council spent some time together as well. She called his visit “encouraging” and said it provided a good window for further discussions with him at the upcoming Union of B.C. Municipalities conference. She added that while she believed Coleman understood there are immediate infrastructure needs for the community — for instance Haisla Bridge — she’s not sure where that may fit into any infrastructure timelines from his ministry. Speaking to his

warning to communities not to move too fast before having final investment decisions from companies, Monaghan points out that millions upon millions were spent by Rio Tinto Alcan, for instance, before any official word was given they’d modernize. “I would think that they would be pretty sure that they would be going ahead or they wouldn’t be spending that kind of money,” she said, noting the amount companies like Apache (a proponent behind Kitimat LNG) have already spent locally. “If you wait with your planning and everything until the final investment decision is made you’re looped,” she said. “You can’t just sit back and say

CIBC, Wings Travel, Remax and the Kitimat Food Share buildings all found themselves with broken windows after the Labour Day long weekend after a lone youth set to work damaging property. By the time the weekend was over, however, the police had made an arrest. Being a youth the suspect cannot be named, but Cpl. Stu Egers with the Kitimat detachment says that the motives appeared to be a mix of alcohol and issues stemming from the person’s private life.

Blockade A roadblock into the Klappan area north of Terrace last week spearheaded by Tahltan elders and others has coincided with a meeting between Tahltan leaders and provincial officials. At issue is work underway by London, Ontario-based Fortune Minerals to gather information which will lead to its application to develop an open-pit coal mine in the Klappan. The area has cultural and other significance to the Tahltan and members of the First Nation have long opposed any development there. “They have a team that’s instructed to work on the Klappan and that’s what we did, we signed the Terms of Reference to work together,” McPhee said of the provincial officials, adding that the group “has agreed to look at options moving forward for protecting the Klappan.” The meeting happened shortly after a blockade was set up on Ealue Lake Road that leads from Hwy37 North near Iskut into the Klappan Valley where both Fortune and the Tahltan have camps. The RCMP set up their own camp between those of the Tahltan and Fortune.

Council set to take on social development issues Councillor Edwin Empinado pushed forward a motion at the last regular council meeting, seeking the development of a social development strategy policy. “It is a reality that the DoK depends more on the non-profit organizations or societies to deal with social impacts,” he said, noting the increasing pressures on the town’s social fabric from the attraction of new business and industries. However he finds the current way council supports social programs not a pro-active solution. To fix that, he hopes this motion will help them develop better resources to aid their own decision making on social matters. As well he hopes it’s an integrated approach with other agencies. Mario Feldhoff supported the motion, as a way to keep their eyes on the future. “I think it makes sense for us to give some thought and to flesh out our social development strategy,” he said, noting that there are a number of pressures on multiple fronts, including housing.

Taking the high road on highway maintenance When it comes to winter travelling, I usually plan very carefully when I need to go to Terrace or beyond. In my final winter being editor at the Interior News in Smithers I had come to Kitimat with my wife to spend the Christmas holiday with my in-laws. I learned quite quickly what winter driving can be like. Actually on our first attempt we turned around, basically said ‘nope’ and tried again the next day, which turned out to be better, but only marginally. It was a long, long drive through at times, for our Toyota Matrix, very deep snow. It didn’t help matters that because it was the holidays our print deadlines were different so I was travelling back on a production day. My publisher back in Smithers was certainly heading to some physical or mental breakdown with an absent editor. (And reporters, since we sent them off to enjoy some deserved time off.) So in short my point is driving, even on our Class A highway between Terrace and Kitimat, can be tricky. So it’s nice that our regional district will be trying to push forward a movement to get the government to up the standards for snow clearing at the UBCM. Not just for me I mean, although my 1.5 year old child would probably appreciate the added safety. But for the countless labourers and contractors who are making the trip already. I didn’t realize before but I’ve heard people are living as far away as Prince Rupert to work on Kitimat projects. Even now you’re sometimes battling aggressive driving to and from Terrace, but imagine that issue compounded in the winter. In short, it’s hard to have a good feeling about what this winter will bring. (And I heard just today that some people are forecasting a traditional Kitimat winter, as in 1970s style snowfall.) We can only hope the government will heed the northwest’s calls for more stringent standards on our roads to prevent what I’m sad to think will most likely be plenty of injury and damage. As mine and the Sentinel’s former editor sometimes says, we shall see, we shall see. Hey, while we’re this subject actually, I’ll share another thought that was shared to me not long ago. That thought is, I wonder if there’s a chance we can get a commuter train going between Terrace and Kitimat? A train between the two communities has never existed as long as I’ve lived in town, but as was pointed out to me with no Eurocan surely the line must be more free than it has been. Could it work? Just one car even? That’d be a nice alternative to those tricky highways. Cameron Orr

Pressure on for skills training Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk has offered some advice for students heading for postsecondary education this fall. In a commentary sent to B.C. newspapers, Virk reminded students that his task “is to ensure post-secondary students obtain the experience and qualifications needed to put a paycheque in their back pocket.” B.C. is forecast to have one million jobs to fill by 2020, through a combination of retirements and economic growth. More than 40 per cent of them will require trades and technical training, and for students, likely a move north. “My advice to students is to look at where the jobs are based and tailor their education and training to match,” Virk wrote. “Our population is concentrated in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island, but as a resource-based economy, many directly and indirectly related jobs are located elsewhere.” That’s not the only blunt message for students deciding on a career. While defending his ministry’s spending plans in the recent legislature

contains another $1 million for advertising, the same as last year, much of it to reinforce the need to fill skilled jobs. But he danced around the question of whether there will be spaces in technical programs. NDP critics say the waiting list for these kinds of programs at Kwantlen University and B.C. Institute of Technology are running between a year and three years. And they have frequently noted that advanced education spending is budgeted to decline by $42 million over the next three years. Virk said post-secondary institutions working with industry have produced 456 additional seats in high-demand programs for this year. It’s a start. In July, Premier Christy Clark joined the chorus of premiers protesting Ottawa’s plan to claw back $300 million in federal training money to provinces, for its new employer-driven Canada Jobs Grant. Clark and New Brunswick Premier David Alward were assigned to find an alternative to this drastic shift and report back in the fall. Continued on page 5

From the Legislature Tom Fletcher session, Virk described some of the problems that are entrenched. Parents, particularly in immigrant communities, push their children towards medicine, law, dentistry or engineering, he noted. Students themselves gravitate toward areas that are familiar to them, such as teaching. B.C. universities graduated 2,000 new teachers last year. Another 850 arrived from out of province and were licensed to teach in B.C. During the same year, the B.C. school system hired 800 teachers. And many of those jobs were outside metropolitan areas. It’s been hammered into us by the B.C. government’s endless “jobs plan” advertising, and a similar campaign by Ottawa, that more students need to focus on trades and resource industries. Virk acknowledges that his budget

Continued from page 4 As usual, the NDP spent lots of time grilling Virk about student debt and the alleged need to reduce it. Ministry statistics show that about 30 per cent of students take out loans from the federal-provincial program, and the average is $20,000. One of the latest changes is a program of grants that go toward student debt as a reward for those who complete their chosen program. With 23,000 students collect-

ty grant KEDA would be eligible for just $1,250. Council had originally moved for an additional $500 donation to KEDA for administration, but was withdrawn after it was determined that $500 for KEDA for administration would come out of the $4,000 offering. Meanwhile, for the sponsorship the District of Kitimat will be provided a booth during the event’s trade show.

ing $41 million in grants, it might be working. For all the fuss about student debt, students pay only about a third of costs. The rest is on taxpayers, whether it produces any useful education or not. Virk is under instructions to review the student loan program “to find further improvements to meet students’ needs.” Given the magnitude of the gap between what skills our education system produces and what the economy needs, a larger shift in priorities is needed.

Safety Tip of the Week

Keep garbage locked up or stored away in your garage or shed to stop bears from getting into it and becoming an issue.

Ecclesiastes 1:2, “Meaningless says the preacher, utterly meaningless, everything is meaningless.” What’s it all about? Why am I here? What is the point to all of this? These are questions that have been asked by every single person since the beginning of time. They are the big questions, the ultimate questions. That’s why I like reading the Bible, because it doesn’t shy away from these ultimate questions. Now, the verse I posted above doesn’t seem to be a very positive outlook, but we need a bit of background. Solomon, the third king of Israel, wrote Ecclesiastes, and when he was a boy God came to him and told him that he could have whatever he needed to aid him in ruling the nation. Solomon said, “Lord, I am just a young man in understanding, give me wisdom to lead your people,” to which the Lord agreed and also said that because he hadn’t asked for something foolish, he would also be rich. 1 Kings records for us that as Solomon’s reputation grew, so did his treasury as the Lord said it would. He writes in Ecclesiastes 2:10, “I denied myself nothing. I refused my heart nothing.” He was the richest man who ever lived. He made Bill Gates look like his poor country cousin. And so, if money, or the things of this world make us happy, then surely Solomon was the happiest man who ever lived? Ah, no! In fact he was probably the most miserable. After a life of excess, he found himself in the same position as everyone else, asking the same questions, “What’s this all about?” In the end, his wisdom came back to him and he concluded that it is only in God that we can find true meaning in this life. Jesus once said to a man who was accumulating wealth, “What does it profit a man if he were to gain the whole world yet lose his soul?” What indeed. Friends, if you find yourself today in the posi-

And look to the empty tomb where He rose from the grave in victory that you might also receive a resurrection to eternal life through simple faith in Him. When you look at the cross and the empty tomb you cannot ask, “What is the meaning of this?” The meaning is clear. God loves you and wants you to be with Him forever, and when you understand that, then life becomes full of meaning. You see, it isn’t under the sun that meaning is found, it is beyond it. Amen.

No more metal to KUTE

A notice on the District of Kitimat website advises residents to stop sending metal to KUTE, including tin cans, because the recycling organization is no longer accepting it due to limited space. With the volume of industrial and commercial product heading in there, they’re running out of room for residential products. The eventual recycling program from Multi Material will pick up the slack on residential packaging and paper early in 2014.

Resident wants to see the wise and young together Cameron Orr Is there a way to merge senior care and child care? Somehow bridge the gap between the generations? One Kitimat resident believes it can be done, and has asked for council’s support to make it a reality. Ed Prochot, reading from his letter to council, suggested that “we look into integrating child preschool and day care facilities with our senior and multilevel care facilities.” He sees it as a way to transmit knowledge from older generations to the youngest. “Children absorb enormous amounts of information, their

minds are like sponges, and they exude an energy for the love of life,” he said. “Similar to what some places try with pets, we could take it a step further

and bring day care into our multi-care facilities.” He said that the northwest could be leaders by taking the first steps to pursue this

agenda, “showing how fundamentally important it is to respect and value life from beginning to end,” he said. Bringing in children would be a great

benefit to the seniors, he adds. “Our seniors sit in wheelchairs gazing out the window with nothing to see but cars driving by and a flower gar-

den. Don’t you think if there were children playing in those gardens and around them they would have a far greater zest for life?” There were no mo-

tions passed in relation to the presentation but he was promised by some councillors to be provided with contacts to further pursue the idea.

A deal to make you jump for joy.

BC LNG EXMAR, a shipping company, has entered into a Letter of Intent with LNG Partners LLC and LNG BargeCo, which sets the foundation for EXMAR to provide a floating natural gas liquefaction and storage unit for the proposed BC LNG Co-Op export facility in Kitimat. The company will design and deliver the floating barge which comes with a capacity of .7 million tons per year in the first quarter of 2016, the company says in a release. It goes on to say the project is set to receive the remainder of their permits by the end of 2013. They already have an export permit. They say it will be the world’s second floating LNG production unit.

Fish derby no flop Cameron Orr Nothing was scaled back for this year’s annual Fish Derby, held over the Labour Day weekend. The event, held at Heritage Park at the Kitimat Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Info Centre, provided a whole afternoon and evening with music, food, and activities for the family. But of course the fish are the main event, and many people brought their cohos in for the chance to snag the top prize. Taking the overall largest coho prize (which comes with a $1,000 cheque) and topping the

Clockwise from left, Cory Eisenberger proudly holds up his award winning coho at the weigh scales (photo contributed by Kitimat Chamber of Commerce). A variety of activities provided endless fun for children at Heritage Park. Drifters on the Kitimat River seek out their own big catch on August 31, as the Kitimat Fish Derby weekend began.

A 15lbs 12-7/8oz coho takes this year’s overall prize men’s category is Cory Eisenberger, who angled his way to catching a 15lbs, 12 7/8oz. In the junior category, Dawson Calkins pulled in his own 13lbs, 7/8oz coho to take the top spot. In the women’s category, Sharmen Calkins’ 10lbs, 15 1/8oz coho earned her the prize.

Green Party leader says research program a ‘subsidy’ for Enbridge Tom Fletcher Federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May accused the Conservative government Wednesday of “doing Enbridge’s homework” with $120 million program to study ocean weather and behaviour of heavy oil spills in the ocean around Kitimat. At a news conference in Victoria, May added her voice to that of Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, who raised questions in the B.C. legislature in July about an ocean monitoring project in support of oil tanker exports as proposed by Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project. May and Weaver released leaked documents they say show Ottawa spending $78 million this year and $42 million next year for marine weather monitoring and determining how diluted bitumen from the Alberta oil sands would behave in a spill. May said federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty changed the federal budget documents this year to conceal changes to ministry and program spending, making it impossible for

MPs to identify spending on programs such as the ocean monitoring on B.C.’s North Coast. Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver issued a statement Wednesday, rejecting May’s accusation of secrecy. Oliver said he announced the program publicly in Vancouver in March. “Work on tanker safety is critical to ensure we have world-class marine safety on Canada’s coastlines,” Oliver said. “While the Green Party and the NDP oppose resource development projects before the science is in, our government will not make decisions until an independent scientific review determines they are safe for Canadians and safe for the environment.” Weaver said the investment amounts to a subsidy to Enbridge, which should do its own research on environmental effects of its pipeline and tanker port proposal. He cited a Fisheries and Oceans Canada document that concludes “behaviour models specific to [diluted bitumen] do not exist, and existing

He said Premier Christy Clark has backed away from opposition to the project since the May provincial election, and has focused on improving relations with Alberta.

COMING EVENTS

Hailey Robertson sent in this photo to the Sentinel, one she came across while visiting her uncle Tony Rigoni in California. Rigoni, now 76, used to live in Kitimat and as you see here, at 19 years old was not at all afraid to feed honey to a black bear. Rigoni now lives on a vineyard, but Robertson says that he always looks at this photo with a huge smile on his face as he reminisces about growing up in Kitimat. It is unknown who his equally daring friend is, or even who was brave enough to photograph this moment.

Kitimat hikers and snowmobilers set to climb task of Robinson Ridge upgrades The Kitimat Snowmobile and Hiker’s Club is seeking community support to fix up the trails on Robinson Ridge. “We’re currently working on a project that we’re calling the Robinson Ridge Recreation Area Improvement Project,” said club president Chad Fournier. They’re looking towards gaming grants to do trail improvement and alignment, and improve general accessibility. He said the ultimate goal is to replace the Robinson Ridge cabin, which is, technically, classified as an emergency shelter and warming hut. He sought and received a letter of support from Council, to include in their funding applications for the Community Gaming Grant. If they successfully receive the Gaming Grant that will earn them $35,000. Meanwhile the club is also seeking $15,000 through other grants to install a BC

Parks approved back country toilet on Robinson Ridge. Fournier told the Sentinel that in a very preliminary budget, the whole work on Robinson Ridge is expected to total $130,000, but that’s not taking into account things like in-kind labour. But if the group successfully brings in all of the grants they’re applying for, they’ll get $50,000 of the project paid for. The work planned for Robinson Ridge complements the years-long project that has been ongoing on Clague Mountain. On Clague, they’ve been doing trail work, recently opened a new cabin, and this past weekend installed a brand new outhouse. They are also installing new cedar boardwalks to either extend the trails or replace existing boardwalks which are falling apart. For Clague and Robinson Ridge the work will also benefit the winter-time mainte-

The club is waiting for eventual approvals for the applied-for grants before seeking out further public assistance to make the plans a reality. “If we’re successful in

getting either of the two grants, we’ll feel more confident that the project is something we can really get behind and others will give consideration to getting behind, either financially or otherwise,” he said.
