Chevron opens up on Clio Bay Spokespersons for Chevron Canada opened up about their plans on Clio Bay and the proposed restoration project, to councillors on September 30. It was the company’s first time reaching out to councillors on the subject which has been a sore spot for some in the past several weeks, with some councillors and residents speaking out against the proposal to dump marine clay from the Kitimat LNG site at Bish Cove, into Clio Bay. While the project is claimed to be beneficial for the sea floor in terms of rejuvenating life, not everyone is convinced. But David Molinski with Chevron, through his presentation and with other company experts, gave their perspective that it’s a well thought out plan that will help, not hinder, the environment. He explained the idea was given to the company about a year ago from the Haisla and they’ve been investigating it since. Tim Edgell, a marine biologist with Stantec, working with Chevron on this project, said that the woody debris on the bottom of Clio Bay doesn’t provide as much biodiversity as there could be. “In terms of what could be there, what could be there in an adjacent bay...there would be higher biodiversity,” he said of the clay dumping plan. Councillor Phil Germuth held the representatives’ feet to the fire though, slamming them for the approach to community engagement. “This was hidden from us, we were never brought into the picture,” he said. He noted that with a planned early 2014 start to the project, Chevron now has only given the community three months to be informed on the project. Molinkski apologized for not seeing them sooner. On questions from Mario Feldhoff on bay access, Molinksi also said the plan is not finalized yet so he couldn’t speak to the extent of possible access restrictions. “Our goal is to work with the community to find out when people are using it, what kind of impact we might expect, and make sure we minimize that as much as possible,” he said. Germuth followed up saying he had written a letter to Chevron after seeing representatives at a recent local government conference, expressing disappointment that the company was not following their own, self-described “Chevron Way” in representating themselves. Germuth would rather have seen more opportunities for questions at Chevron’s planned Clio Bay Open House, which was scheduled for last night at the Riverlodge. Councillors were also invited to technical briefing on the project earlier October 8, the lack of earlier briefings another of Germuth’s pet peeves with the company.

1.30 INCLUDES TAX

Motorcyclists take off from the Dairy Queen parking lot on September 28, the annual Toy Run event from Kitimat to Terrace. Each rider is asked to bring a toy donation for the Salvation Army to participate. Glen Davies took on the organizing role this year, as the group the Road Runners retired last year after a long run.

Tattooist talks of rezoning plan Cameron Orr Councillors asked questions of a proposal to amend zoning for the shops at Nechako Centre, but none appeared concerned for the business which initiated the process, a tattoo parlour. Business owner Claire Rattee did appear at council on September 30 to answer any questions councillors may have had about her plan. Council had already approved first reading of the proposed amendment bylaw, but opted not to give second reading until some questions were answered. “I don’t want anyone to have any concerns about what kind of business it is that we’re going to be running. My husband and I are not your typical tattoo artists. We’ve both been very closely involved with churches our entire lives. My husband’s a Christian and I’m Jewish. I know that seems a little strange that we’re tattoo artists but it’s hard to make money off art these days and it’s something that we really love,” she said. “We

“We try to run our business in a way that’s not going to offend anyone.” try to run our business in a way that’s not going to offend anyone.” The windows showing any tattooing will be blocked off so no one can see in, especially important with the number of children in the area, she said. “You don’t want young children watching tattoos going on,” she said. “We’re really trying our hardest to make sure that we’re contributing members of society and we’re not going to be causing you guys any issue.” The business is expected to generate about three jobs. The bylaw had made its way through the Advisory Planning Commission for comment, and council adopted their recommendations, which adds phrasing to

exclude any possible escort agency business (which is not a business that had been proposed for the area but was added as a precautionary measure) and adding ‘liquor outlet’ and ‘restaurant (licensed)’ to the list of permitted uses. On questions from councillor Edwin Empinado, town planner Daniel Martin explained that while there already is a pub in the complex, language changes for business licences meant the planners wanted to update the bylaw so zoning and business licences shared the same language. The phrase ‘neighbourhood pub’, specifically, is no longer used for business licences. A public hearing for the changes, to add Personal Service Shops to the bylaw, is set for October 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the council chambers. Comment is also being received until then at the District of Kitimat offices. A personal service shop includes businesses such as barber shops, gyms, health clubs, and tattoo and piercing studios, among others.

August’s crime statistics are in Cameron Orr While the number of calls for service is seeing a downward trend for the Kitimat RCMP — 467 for August — they’re still seeing high levels of cases, putting them beyond 2012 levels for some. The August statistics for crime files was presented to Kitimat Council by staff sergeant Phil Harrison on September 23. Sexual assaults haven’t yet exceeded 2012’s level of 12 files, but it’s close at 10 files for the year, three in August. There was no aggravated assault for the month, but so far the total is three for 2013, compared to only one in 2012. Assault with a weapon or assault causing bodily harm files were at two for the month, bringing 2013’s total to 19, five short of 2012’s 24 files. Common assault are notably far greater this year than last. There were 35 files in August, making it 141 files for the

year. In 2012 there were only 96. Harrison noted that the assaults are not happening in the general community and mostly take place at bars and pubs. He said that with a nearly full complement of officers working or expected to begin work shortly, he hopes to begin ‘bar walks’ again. There were two robberies in August, the same total as all of 2012. This year’s total is at five. (Robberies are stealing from someone using violence or a threat of violence.) August saw seven threats against persons, bringing the year total to 64. Business break and enters have doubled over 2012, with August’s five files adding to 16 for the year. Residential break and enters are similarly increased over last year but so far not by as wide a margin. So far we’ve seen 37, including three in August, while

there was 30 in 2012. There have been 31 vehicle thefts for the year, after three files in August, which is above the 14 in 2012. Shoplifting however is quite low, only three cases for the year, one in August, against 13 in 2012. Kitimat has almost seen equal numbers of files for causing a disturbance, with 22 in August meaning 160 for the year. Five more files and we’ll hit 2012’s total. On drug offences, it was a relatively quiet month in August, with two files for possession of cocaine, and one for possession of marijuana. So far there’s been 18 possession of marijuana files in 2013 (28 in 2012) and six cocaine possessions total (eight in 2012). There was one trafficking of cocaine file opened in the month. There’s been six for the year, against four in 2012.

MP calls oil by rail very bad idea Shaun Thomas Skeena – Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen said Nexen’s plan to ship oil by rail to Prince Rupert is not only a bad idea, but a potentially dangerous one. “After the disaster in La-Megantic in Quebec, it seems like not only poor timing but potentially a very bad idea to move the kind of volume that they’re talking about. It would make the volumes in Quebec seem like nothing...so many of these trains go right through our communities. Virtually within 50 feet of the downtown, like Quebec. If anything were to go wrong, we could see how wrong it goes,” he said, alluding to the train explosion

that left 47 presumed dead and 30 buildings destroyed in July. “I’ll admit, I’m weary of this. I don’t know if running the stuff on rail is any better than on a pipeline, and a pipeline is fraught with risk. It feels like a bit of a pipe dream, to be honest. You can never tell with these public disclosures if someone is just playing some sort of political game, or angle, and how serious they are.” And, said Cullen, any talk about oil by rail would need to take place after CN addresses other concerns related to how it operates in the Northwest.

Regional briefs Airport Airport passenger traffic is up 30 per cent as of the end of August this year compared to the same time period in 2012. And this August’s passenger total at the Northwest Regional Airport of 18,026 is more than 1,400 passengers higher than July’s figure of 16,596. August’s number, the highest ever monthly total recorded at the airport, makes for a year to date passenger figure of 109,760. Airport manager Carman Hendry said the July to August jump is even more startling given that Air Canada Jazz and Hawkair had the same flight schedules both months. He attributed the increase to a quickened pace of work at Rio Tinto Alcan’s aluminum smelter reconstruction project at Kitimat and to ongoing Northwest Transmission Line work and mine development to the north. Hendry’s predicting September’s passenger number to be even higher because the instrument landing system at the Prince Rupert airport is temporarily out of order. “When they get fog, we get their aircraft,” said Hendry. The airport doesn’t count passengers arriving on flights diverted from other airports but does count – and charge – those passengers when they leave again. Airlines are now experiencing load factors in the 73 per cent range meaning that for every 100 seats, 73 are filled. “There’s still plenty of room,” said Hendry although noting passengers may not necessarily be able to book on the flights they want.

Kitimat housing in ‘crisis’ Cameron Orr Stacey Tyers, the poverty law advocate who warned against illegitimate eviction notices (Sentinel, October 2, 2013), brought her message to Kitimat Council, emphasizing the need for Kitimat to maintain a housing committee. “I’ve been working diligently to build capacity in your community to be able to handle some of this crisis. I’m not over exaggerating when I say there is a crisis,” she told councillors about Kitimat’s housing situation. “There is mass eviction, illegal rent increases, illegal eviction going on almost every day here, and it’s obviously a great concern to me that I’m having seniors phoning me whose rent is being increased by $500, which is not legal, but because there’s not been a long-standing advocate in your community, people don’t necessarily know what their rights are and don’t know where to turn,” she said. (Kitimat recently did get a Housing Resource Worker, Anne Moyls, who works un-

der the Kitimat Housing Resource Project, who we had comments from in last week’s paper as well.) Although she’s personally only mandated for Terrace, housing is a regional issue, she said. While in the past overflow from Prince Rupert, for port development for instance, meant people would live in Terrace or Kitimat, now all communities are feeling a crunch, even as far away as Smithers. And it’s not only the low income bracket we need to be addressing the needs for. “It’s the low income working families that’s serving your coffee at Tim Hortons, who are working at your grocery stores, who are your receptionists at your local businesses. So it’s also important to be working with them to figure out how to manage this.” But she has no ill feelings for landlords seeking to take advantage of a hot market. “I don’t begrudge the landlord making some money while they can. What I begrudge is them acting outside

the law and doing illegal rent increase and illegal evictions, and really putting people at risk.” Tyers felt impelled to come speak to councillors after an impression she had that the council wanted to remove the Kitimat Housing Committee entirely from the community. Mayor Joanne Monaghan and Mary Murphy both clarified that her impression was wrong and that they were only considering amending the committee’s terms of reference or creating a subcommittee dedicated entirely to affordable housing projects. “We are not trying to get rid of the housing committee, we need the housing committee,” said Monaghan. Monaghan had made remarks at the September 9 council meeting, expressing displeasure at the rate of accomplishment at the existing housing committee and had made comments about perhaps needing new people on a housing committee or sub-committee. But Tyers, who

I know one of the questions was maybe it’s not the right people at the table, and I really follow the system that whoever is at the table are the people who are meant to be there. Our [Terrace] housing committee has been slow to get a lot of stuff done too, because it really is a slow system you’re working within. There isn’t not a lot of money pouring into it the way it did in the 90s or the 80s,” she said. Monaghan did clarify to Tyers she was referring to people like investors or construction managers to perhaps sit at the table, people with expertise in funding and building to get projects done.

The boots on the ground

It’s Friday afternoon as I write this and a steady stream of rain is splashing outside my window. But despite the overall miserableness of the outdoors you would have expected to receive the Friday’s Northern Connector paper in your mailbox. And today, for your Northern Sentinel, you may have had this delivered to your home as well. I bring this up not because I’m trying to instill our branding into your mind Sentinel Sentinel Sentinel but because I wanted to emphasize the importance of the newspaper carrier to the whole operation. I grew up in a rural area on the Sunshine Coast in B.C. so newspaper delivery wasn’t the same as it is here, so basically I didn’t get to enjoy the accomplishment and hard work that comes with delivering the news, an experience many in Kitimat share. But it’s really one of the most crucial parts of the operation. All our work would be for naught if it wasn’t actually delivered. Whether in rain or snow, deep slush or not, our carriers, young and old, bring the papers to you. We have 44 carriers delivering the paper throughout Kitimat, and the fact you’re reading this paper should prove they’re a group which gets the job done. This is all a round-about way of saying that it’s International Carrier Appreciation Week, from October 6 to 12, a time set aside time to think of the good work they put in here, and everywhere a newspaper is made.

So remember, no matter how it looks out there, someone is braving it to bring you the news. Thanks to all our carriers. Cameron Orr

On that airshed study

Just to comment on that airshed quality study for Kitimat, while I may agree with our MLA that an airshed quality study may have been useful earlier in the emerging LNG industry in B.C., it is encouraging to see so many zeroes attached to the cost of a study for our area specifically. $650,000 is no small amount of change, so we’ll anxiously await the results of the study, on how well our atmosphere in the valley can handle these projects. However, it’s worth considering that the government has already okayed some projects that will up the particulates in the air. Notably Rio Tinto Alcan has received an amended emissions permit which allows more sulphur dioxide released, which the company says is in proportion to their production. (The permit has been appealed, it’s also worth noting.) As well, Kitimat LNG, the Chevron/Apache project for Bish Cove, have their provincial and federal environmental permits. And with BC LNG small enough not to need environmental permits (hopefully I’ve remembered right) that just leaves LNG Canada still needing their paperwork done. So how a study will actually affect these projects, I’d bet not too much.

Greenpeace gets themselves in hot water The harsh sentences meted out in the Pussy Riot “punk rock band” case in Russia in 2012 for satirical criticism of President Vladimir Putin’s government policies might have provided the international “nuiby Allan Hewitson sance” organization, Greenpeace, ahewitson@telus.net with an apt warning before they opted to help “save the Arctic” by members on the rig.

30-person crew, comprising 18 nationalities, was then towed to Murmansk. Piracy charges in Russia come with potential 15 year jail sentences. Greenpeace insists its weaponsfree foray on August 18 was simply a peaceful protest and the charges are absurd. However, when I consider the Pussy Riot band was “simply” protesting lack of women’s equality and were also unarmed (except for masks and a guitar) while they staged a one minute protest song in a Russian cathedral, I don’t think too much of the chances of Greenpeace activists walking away from an attempted boarding of a multimillion dollar drilling platform in a foreign country. Arguments about offshore limits and where the Greenpeace ship was anchored, I don’t expect will carry much weight, in court. Frankly, Greenpeace’s lengthy record of nuisance attack-protests in scores of locations around the world, while often entertaining, have resulted in numerous arrests over the years and even the bombing and scuttling of the original Rainbow Warrior, in New Zealand in 1985, while the environmentalist organization was protesting French nuclear testing in the South Pacific.

going in VLCC tankers to be transported on our coast. We want to protect our precious water whether it is our rivers or our ocean. The pipeline or rail deliveries are going to have accidents, we just don’t know where or

when. Why would we take any chances with it. I am not against having development but this one project is not one I want. Sincerely, Margaret Stenson

Education key for energy future Dear Sir, The northwest is on the cusp of a massive change. Sometimes change is for the better. Sometimes it is not. Currently there are fourteen natural gas pipelines and LNG plants proposed for the northwest. It is highly unlikely all of this will proceed. But how many will and where will they be? Some ‘proposals’ are becoming realities of slashed and staked survey lines. Landowners are being offered wads of money. This is how the natural gas industry works. Pipelines need compressor stations with turbine engines and flare stacks. Pipelines will bring fracking. If you value your fishing spot or a favourite stretch of river to walk along, it is time to get involved. If you value mushroom picking or moose hunting, it is time to get involved. If you drink water or breathe air, it is time to get involved. All bound for foreign markets, the world’s largest tankers will enter our ports. How secure is the price of natural gas on the world market, as numerous other countries join the race? The BC government claims this is our golden goose. We’ve all smelled a rotten

egg before. We’ve seen boom/bust economies that fill pockets overnight, and leave a legacy of turmoil. Education is the key to understanding what is proposed, and how it will affect Clues Across 1.

Oil by rail

This year’s Kitimat River Cleanup was a resounding success. Sixty-three people, a new record, came out to clean the riverbank. The total garbage found filled a dumpster and two pickup trucks. The event is hosted by KUTE but made possible by many local businesses. Photos submitted by Sarina Germuth

Continued from page 2 “That’s not me saying that, it’s our local fire chiefs and mayors. It feels like more and more is coming down the line, and CN hasn’t done a great job at bringing communities along side in funding both the safety infrastructure that we need...my advice to CN is they have to reenter the conversation in the north, and get down to the community level. They need to meet with councils, chambers of commerce and business people that are being affected by this,” he said. “When things like bitumen get proposed, if it doesn’t feel like there’s a good scene already, what are the chances people are going to be open to things that have a higher risk ... for someone to come in and propose literally thousands and thousands of tankers with bitumen in them, in light of the disaster in Quebec, seems like a recipe to turn

Continued from page 4 As usual, when Canadians become enmeshed in creating problems with Greenpeace around the world, they promptly demand government intervention when they wind up in jail. Their families get a lot of attention from Canadian media - but, personally, I have very little sympathy with their cause in this case, or their chosen methods. It will be interesting to see how this latest Greenpeace skirmish will play out, but I don’t really see a happy ending or much of a diplomatic intervention on behalf of the two Canadians.

Be Bear Aware!

Every year many bears are destroyed as a result of conflicts between people and bears. Most of these problems begin when people allow bears to access non-habitat food sources, such as garbage. And the way to prevent those deaths is to ensure bears don’t start regarding your yard as an amble-through fast food outlet.

HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE This is the single biggest killer of bears. When people allow bears to access garbage, they help create “problem” bears that are usually destroyed. During the early spring to late fall, keep garbage behind closed doors in your garage, basement or storage area. Put your garbage out on the morning of collection day and not the night before. Thoroughly clean your garbage containers regularly.

bears. If you want to attract birds without the bears, use bird baths or certain flowers/plants.

FISHING

To reduce natural cover, thin out brush along paths and close to buildings. Installing motion sensor lights around the yard and on walking paths will discourage bears from lingering in the area.

UNCLEANED BARBEQUES

A Fed Bear Is A Dead Bear!

COMPOST BINS

Rotting food waste in compost bins draws bears. To reduce odours, cover compost with soil and bleach or lime. Washable, plastic compost bins with lids are recommended for outdoor use. They must be cleaned regularly.

FRUIT TREES Picking ripe and excess fruit and removing windfall on a regular basis will discourage bears from seeking food. Store your fruit securely behind closed doors.

DUMPSTERS Bears are lured into communities by the smells of food and garbage coming from commercial dumpsters. The only way to keep bears out of dumpsters is to lock the lids down every night. Local businesses that use commercial dumpsters should ensure that their dumpsters are locked at the end of each day.

KEEP BEARS MOVING

Please Remember-

During bear season, clean your barbeque immediately after every use. Wash the grill or burn off the smells, food residue and grease. If you can smell your barbeque, then it is not clean enough. Store your barbeque in a safe place behind closed doors.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITY MINDED BUSINESSES:

The smell of fish is an attractant for bears. If a bear shows up at your fishing spot, leave as quickly as possible. If you have a fish on, cut your line and return when it is safe. Store bait somewhere other than your tent and keep campsite clean. Stay away from the river's edge when building a fire or cooking and do not cook near your tent.

PET FOODS

To avoid attracting bears, feed your pets indoors. If you must feed them outside, only put out enough food for a single meal and keep empty pet dishes inside. Store pet food inside your house.

the public off before the conversation starts.” As reported in the Northern Connector, the Prince Rupert Port Authority confirmed it is in discussion with Nexen about a potential oil export facility in Prince Rupert, but said any further information will not be released at this time. “As for the details of those discussions, or conjecture about the possible location of future projects, they are protected by commercial confidentiality agreements until preliminaries calcify into concrete projects,” said manager of corporate communications Michael Gurney.

Greenpeace

That’s the message we want to get across to BIRD FEEDERS Only use bird feeders in the winter months when bears are residents as we enter what are traditionally hibernating and bird's natural food is scarce. Bird seed attracts the busiest months for bear complaints.

Reducing Human-Bear Conflicts

“It feels like more and more is coming down the line, and CN hasn’t done a great job at bringing communities along side in funding both the safety infrastructure that we need.”

Bear Facts: • Bears are strong swimmers. • Most bears are good at climbing trees. Mature grizzlies don't climb well but have a long reach, up to four metres. • There are eight species of bear. Six of those are classified as being either vulnerable or threatened with extinction • Bears are fast runners; As fast as a racehorse. • Black bears can weigh any where between 90lbs and 600lbs.

Be Bear Aware:

• Avoid getting close to a bear. • Make lots of noise when you are walking a trail in the forest. • Never feed a bear.

October 21, 2013 4:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Riverlodge Recreation Centre (Activity Room) 654 Columbia Ave West Kitimat, B.C.

Project representatives will be available to answer questions and share information. Light refreshments will be provided.

A Year of Careful Study In June 2012, TransCanada PipeLines announced the Coastal GasLink Project, to safely deliver natural gas from the Groundbirch area, near Dawson Creek, B.C., to the proposed LNG Canada gas liquefaction facility to be developed by Shell Canada Ltd. and its partners near Kitimat, B.C. We began with a “conceptual corridor” based on aerial inspection, available maps and renderings. We then met with First Nations, landowners, local government officials and northern B.C. residents to find opportunities to improve our plan and avoid social and environmental areas of concern. We made significant adjustments to the corridor based on this input and narrowed our focus to a two-kilometre-wide “study corridor.”

During 2013, we have sent hundreds of scientists, engineers and technicians into the field to travel along the corridor, test rocks and soils, study rivers and streams, and gather information about plant and animal life. First Nations community members have shared traditional ecological knowledge through many of our field studies. Using the information we have gathered, we are developing a proposed pipeline route. Our route proposal will be part of our application to the BC Environmental Assessment Office, and our application to the BC Oil and Gas Commission. We are grateful to the communities of northern B.C. for their constructive contributions to this process.

If you are unable to attend, but would like more information you can contact us by email (coastalgaslink@transcanada.com) or by phone at 1.855.633.2011 (toll-free). TransCanada is Canada’s largest builder and operator of natural gas pipelines. We have been in business in B.C. for 50 years. We are proud of our track record of working with communities and operating safely.

Province kicks in money to study Kitimat airshed The Province of B.C. is kicking in $650,000 for a scientific study for the Kitimat region, to figure out how the area’s air shed will handle liquefied natural gas developments which are proposed for the area. The funding, provided by the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Natural Gas Development, was announced on October 3. Environment Minister Mary Polak said the studies will help guide the government in setting regulations for the companies. “What is really important for us to do is to make sure we’re looking not just at each individual project but understanding how they will fit into the puzzle with respect to the total emissions from the project when they’re all built out, potentially,” Polak told the Sentinel. She continued, “Likely what will happen is it will guide the type of regulations we would put in place for the projects as they’re built. So they [companies] would understand then the technical requirements needed for their facilities, and we use that information to guide us as to what requirements we give them.” Polak was in Kitimat on October 2 for a tour of the Douglas Channel and to meet with local politicians. The Kitimat Airshed Impact Assessment Project will also include the existing Rio Tinto Alcan smelter and the proposed oil export facility, and gas turbine powered electricity generation

facilities, in addition to three proposed LNG export operations. The study is said to focus on sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide emissions from the facilities. The study

Cheslatta to work with RTA on water licence Bill Phillips Another hydroelectric project is being proposed for northern British Columbia. However, this one is being viewed as an environmental restoration project more than a power project. And, it will go a long way towards righting a First Nation injustice. On September 30, Cheslatta Carrier Nation Chief Richard Peters handed over a water licence application to FrontCounterBC manager Tim Mergen. The application is the start of Nechako River Legacy Project, a $280 million project that would see water directed from the Kenney Dam reservoir back into the old Nechako River and the construction of a 45-megawatt hydroelectric project. “Submitting this application formally starts the process of getting back the water that was taken from us 62 years ago when the government issued a private company license to all of the water in Cheslatta Traditional Territory,” said Peters. That occurred when the Kenney Dam was built in 1952. The result was the flooding of a large portion of the Cheslatta territory, including cemeteries. Even though it was 62 years ago, remains are still being discovered in Cheslatta Lake, the latest being last week. “Until the Cheslatta is back to a state it was formerly at, we will continue to find bones,” said Peters. “It’s a very painstaking event to go and find human remains and try to find out who they belong to. People can’t relate to that idea of us finding our ancestors in the lake.” Water release from the Skins Lake Spillway causes water fluctuations in Cheslatta Lake, which then erodes the shoreline uncovering

the human remains. The Nechako River Legacy Project is designed to stop the flooding of Cheslatta Lake and release the reservoir water directly into the old Nechako River. That would result in water flowing through a five-mile long course in the Nechako canyon that has been dry since 1952. The work now for the Cheslatta is two-fold – get all the permits and approvals in place, and raising enough money to fund the project. The permits and approvals include securing a electricity purchase agreement with BC Hydro and an agreement with Rio Tinto Alcan, which currently holds the water licence for 100 per cent of the water in the Nechako. “Once we get an energy purchase in place, then we’re going to seek private investors to finance the project,” said Mike Robertson, senior policy advisor for the Cheslatta. “There possibly could be some federal and provincial funding, but we’re not counting on that.” The key discussions will be with Rio Tinto Alcan. “The same water is going to be coming downstream, we just need to hold the licence ourselves in order to finance and get the approvals,” said Peters. “But, of course, Alcan also owns the Kenney Dam so we have to come to arrangements on access and some property out there.” The project will be adjacent to the Kenney Dam, basically another spillway. The project will have to go through an environmental review process. If all the pieces fall into place, the Cheslatta are optimistic that they could begin construction within three years. Human remains that are being found are being examined at UNBC. The Cheslatta are building a tomb for the remains and will eventually re-bury the remains.

With a 50-per-cent increase in sulphur dioxide emissions already approved for an expanded aluminum smelter in Kitimat, a study of further emission impacts is urgently needed, Skeena MLA Robin Austin says.

MLA says airshed study urgently needed til the end of 2014 at the earliest, so there is time to complete the study. “It’s part of the planning that needs to take place up here on a whole variety of things,” Austin said. “Nobody wants to see us end up like Fort McMurray, which got completely overrun with all kinds of social problems.”

Telethon a mere 11 days away Cameron Orr The Aluminum City Telethon, now in its 34th year, is set to take over Mount Elizabeth Theatre on October 20. The show is set to bring in old favourites and new entertainment, perhaps most visibly in the form of co-hosts Sally Sousa and Pat Mouland, who have inherited the prestigious position as ACT hosts, as long-time host Monique Miller is no longer taking the job. “I’m super excited because I think it’s quite an honour, but at the same time I’m really nervous because it’s live TV, and anything could happen, so I really have to be on my toes. It’s a nice challenge though, it’s something I’m looking forward to,” said Sousa, who joined Mouland in costume in the theatre for this article. Mouland said that she was approached for the co-hosting du-

ties, but felt confident knowing she’d have Sousa on stage with her. “When I was approached to co-host with Sally I thought if I’m ever going to do it, being with Sally would certainly make it fun, and we could sink or swim together,” she said. They say there will be a number of favourites performing, from Luso Dancers to gymnasts, and the magic show with Edwin Empinado. “A lot of singing, a lot of dancing,” said Sousa. The telethon, which will run from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., will be closed out at the end of the night with local band Swamp Water. The two say that while Monique Miller left large shoes with her stint hosting, they’re not seeking to simply copy the formula she left behind. “Monique prob-

ably had that feeling as well having to fill in for Doug Smith who had done it since the beginning,” said Sousa. “He was an institution here, and Monique was able to successfully fill his shoes by doing her own kind of thing.” Mouland agrees. “She certainly did leave some big shoes, and we’re not even going to try to fill them. So we actually bought a new pair of shoes,” she said. “And we’re going to go with a totally different style.” The pair certainly play well off each other and it’s clear that there will be a lot of humour throughout the show. “We’re okay with being goofy, coming out in costumes. I’m willing to challenge Kitimat to raise a certain amount in an hour, and I’ll come out in a goofy costume for my next hour hosting stint,” said Sousa. “And I will be willing to support her

doing that,” said Mouland. Jokes aside, they say they have some tricks up their sleeves so they didn’t reveal too much of what to expect from them, but they did emphasize that the show takes a tremendous volunteering effort from everyone involved to put it on this year, and the whole team is committed to beating last year’s total, which was around $60,000. And Sousa and Mouland said they’re sore losers so if people want them to come back, they better say so with dollars. “If people like us, they better call in,” said Sousa. Meanwhile the committee is still welcoming more volunteers or talents. People can find out more from the committee by either calling Margaret at 250-632-3144, ex. 27, or Angela at 250-6324887.

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.

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.
