Rio Tinto Alcan’s new emissions challenged Cameron Orr Four people who live in Kitimat and Terrace, as well as organizations SkeenaWild Conservation Trust, and Lakelse Watershed Society, are appealing a Ministry of Environment decision to allow an increase in sulphur dioxide emissions from Rio Tinto Alcan’s eventual modernized smelter. RTA’s new smelter will reduce many of its emissions, however sulphur dioxide is the one component going up, which the company has said is purely in line with increased production. Sulphur Dioxide is increasing by 56 per cent to 42 tonnes per day. PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) are being reduced by 98 per cent to three tonnes per year. Particulates are going down 80 per cent to 420 tonnes per year. Gaseous fluorides are being reduced 72 per cent to 168 tonnes per year and greenhouse gases are being reduced 36 per cent to 898,800 tonnes a year. That is according to company numbers. The appellants in the case believe RTA should be investing in scrubbing technology to cut down

the SO2 emissions. “Alcan has made tens of billions of dollars smelting aluminum and selling electricity in British Columbia,” said Charles Claus, an appellant for the application and a Terrace-based food grower. “Investing in scrubbers would not only protect our health and environment, it would also make Rio Tinto Alcan a world leader in sustainability”. “The easy, responsible solution is to install sulphur dioxide scrubbers,” said Greg Knox, executive director of SkeenaWild Conservation Trust. “Rio Tinto Alcan’s own experts have told us that scrubbers work well and can easily be installed at the new smelter - the company simply doesn’t want to spend the money.” RTA’s Manager of Corporate Affairs and Community Relations Colleen Nyce said the company is sad that they’re being brought into an appeal process with local stakeholders. She said the company has tried to speak directly to the appellants but they have so far refused any meetings, she said. Continued on page 3

Cold Weather response needed Cameron Orr Kitimat Council was asked to fund a contract worker to put into action a Cold Weather Response Program. At a total request of $2,600, the potential hire would work under the Kitimat Housing Committee and develop a plan to help people who have no housing over the winter. Presenting the program on behalf of the housing committee was Trish Parsons, who said that there were a number of initiatives underway, one by Mayor Monaghan to bring in ATCO trailers for temporary housing, and also interest from Kitimat’s Ministerial Association to putting together a cold weather response. “What we do need is someone to come up with a work plan,” said Parsons. The current housing resource worker, Ann Moyls, is currently “maxed out” she added. Moyls had reported to the committee at a recent meeting that there is a need from about eight to 14 individuals who could potentially need shelter in the winter. Continued on page 6

Man falls asleep in the wrong house Pedro’s A selection of the 96 calls for RCMP service between October 21 and 27: October 21 Two men were arrested and are facing charges for an assault after a man was allegedly knocked out by two intoxicated males at 2:23 a.m. RCMP say that the two, a 32 and 33 year old, allegedly attacked the victim when he wouldn’t share the beer he was carrying. At 3:41 a.m., police attended to a small fire at the Shell gas station when an electrical short lit a canopy covering a gas pump. The fire department extinguished the fire without incident. A parent called the RCMP at 3:38 p.m. about three middle schoolers smoking marijuana near Nechako School. October 22 Police are investigating a hit and run in the Overwaitea parking lot. A white Ford Fusion received damage to its front left light, and hood. It was parked to the right of the new restaurant under construction. Shortly after 8 p.m., a Honda generator was found on fire in the basketball court at Nechako Elementary. Investigation found that contractors working on the school had left out a ladder and the generator. No suspects are known following this incident. The value of the generator is said to be $1,000. Police stopped an impaired driver just north of the Air Park after receiving a call about the possibly impaired driver. Two roadside screening tests failed the driver, who received immediate road-

side prohibitions. October 24 An 11-year-old called police and then went to their neigbour’s on Swan Street at around 7:35 a.m. after finding an unknown man in the lower bunk of her bed. (She had been sleeping in her dad’s bed. The dad had left for work earlier in the morning.) When police arrived at the home the man was found and arrested for being unlawfully in a dwelling home. Investigation found that the man had left a friend’s house around midnight, allegedly intoxicated, to walk to a home on Quail Street, but the suspect in question has no recollection about entering the home on Swan. The police determined not enough evidence existed to pursue charges since there was clearly no intent to commit a crime in this case. October 25 Two men apparently had a loud argument on the walkway behind Plover Street, but neither individual wanted to talk to police about it. The police took one of the individuals, who was reportedly very intoxicated, back to their home, but no charges are being pursued. Police found no indications of gunfire after being called to the area near Kuldo Blvd. and Okanagan St. at 8:38 p.m. It is thought it may have been fireworks which were also reported in the area. A similar complaint was called in at the same time from Forest Avenue, with the possible gunshots coming from the direction of Kitamaat Village Road,

and again there are only indications it was likely the fireworks going off. October 26 Police could not locate suspects who were allegedly hitting golf balls into homes and cars on Clifford Street, nor a later call for the same at Grebe/ Gryfalcon Street. Police also attended to two false alarms this day. October 27 Police attended to a report of a fight, and came upon two intoxicated males at the Legion. One man was found injured and given stitches for a cut to his eye at the hospital. However it is believed that there was no intent to cause injury during the argument and no charges are being pursued. A complainant contacted Kitimat RCMP to report a landlord issue and later said he wanted to speak with the attractive Kitimat RCMP member. When informed that she was not on duty, the complainant then reported that he required an ambulance. The person later said he had not taken pills but had a broken jaw from being punched the night before. The member could see no injuries. The complainant is well known to Kitimat RCMP and Kitimat EHS. EHS stated that they were obligated to take the complainant to KGH if he is stating that he requires medical attention. If you have information about these or any other crimes, please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or contact the Kitimat RCMP at 250-632-7111.

10,000 The annual 10,000 Villages sale is coming back to Kitimat. The seasonal store is a collection of fair traded items and crafts from other parts of the world. The shop is, as usual, hosted locally by the Kitimat First Baptist Church. This year the sale will take place at the church itself, rather than in the City Centre Mall. “By holding this sale, we’re giving customers in Kitimat a chance to buy unique products while helping people in developing countries meet basic needs for themselves and their families,” says Simon Camazzola, sale organizer. The sale will take place over a number of days, beginning November 21.

More LNG On Oct. 29, Triton LNG LP applied to the National Energy Board for a 25-year LNG export licence that includes a floating liquefaction storage and offloading (FLSO) vessel, complete with two liquefaction trains and storage for up to 200,000 cubic metres of LNG. The company has identified potential sites “in the vicinity of Kitimat and Prince Rupert” for the project. Along with the floating facilities, the application includes a marine berth and dock to support the berthing of the FLSO and temporarily dock LNG carriers and shore side facilities including power supply, condensate storage, water supply and the feed pipeline and metering infrastructure. The FLSO would have a production capacity of 2.3 million tonnes of LNG per year, with the gas being delivered from Spectra Energy Transmission, and connecting to the Pacific Northwest LNG pipeline to the coast.

GasLink marking off archeological sites Cameron Orr Coastal GasLink, a subsidiary of TransCanada which is slated to build a natural gas pipeline to service the proposed LNG Canada project, have been at work in the region marking off archeological spots along the proposed route. Katherine Sheriff, environmental field program coordinator, said the project began last spring, and aims to mark anything that is protected under the Heritage Conservation Act, which could include fossils as well. She couldn’t say what the project has found however, which is being kept confidential, but

they have representatives of area First Nations along for the project, together with qualified archeologists to do the studies. “When we do find sites we report to the regulatory agency, so in B.C. that would be the B.C. Archeology Branch, under the Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations,” she said. Sheriff said that the program adapts as they continually adjust the pipeline placement. She said they’ll keep working until the snowfall this year, and will go back in the spring to continue the work.

Changes to housing committee The terms of reference that guides the Kitimat Housing Committee have been amended by a resolution of Kitimat Council. Now, the housing committee has an added mandate to support non-profit societies which are undertaking develop-

SO2

ment of affordable housing or social housing projects. The new mandate also gives them the opportunity to create a sub-committee with the mandate to oversee the development of “affordable, social, or supportive housing for seniors, persons with low incomes, persons

Continued from page 1 “We prefer that we would sit down with these appellants...we asked the appellants to sit down and talk with us at the end of June, early July. They declined our request,” said Nyce. She does say the company has committed to the Ministry of Environment to continue monitoring the emissions once the new smelter is running and if the emissions don’t match their target they will add SO2 scrubbers. Room for scrubbers are left in the smelter’s designs. But the company is resistant to scrubbers, only because the only proven technology that has worked with aluminum production is a ‘wet scrubber,’ said Nyce. That means they’d be using ocean water to clean the SO2 for their emissions. “What that means in Kitimat is that we would be withdrawing approximately 25,000 cubic meters per hour of sea water and reintroducing it back into the ocean with the scrubbed SO2 in it. That is the not the preferred method for dispersion of our SO2,” she said. Experts had looked into the potential emissions when RTA first received their go-ahead for the modernized plant and the recommendation given to the company was air dispersal for the SO2, said Nyce. “It’s really important for people to remember that the modernized smelter will reduce its overall environmental emission footprint by nearly 50 per cent. That includes half a million tonnes a year of greenhouse gasses,” she said. The company will, she said, stand by their decisions. “We believe that the decisions that we’ve made are all the right decisions for the right reasons,” she said, later adding, “We feel very confident it’s going to be a much, much healthier environment even with the SO2 increase.” But a Kitimat woman is not convinced. Lis Stannus, who joins the other appellants, told the Sentinel that “the reduction of all harmful pollutants in industrial plant modernization projects is normally expected, rather than trading off one pollutant or set of pollutants with another.” She said that she has spoken with people in the Ministry of Environment and it was indicated

with disabilities, and identified target groups.” New appointees to the committee have also been made, with the addition of the Kitimat Housing Resource Project worker Anne Moyls, as well as Don Read with the Kitimat Ministerial Association.

to her that wet scrubbers are actually quite feasible, despite the claims that it wouldn’t suit the Kitimat project. “He [a ministry contact] told us that the water released back into the ocean is harmless to the environment, and that 20 aluminum smelters around the world currently use this wet scrubbing technology successfully.” The Environment Canada website details some impacts from SO2. “It has been proven that exposure to SO2 in ambient air is associated with severe adverse respiratory effects in humans, and affects sensitive individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions such as asthma or bronchitis,” the website states. It is also the “main cause” of acid rain.

Remembering Hard to believe a whole year has gone by, but in five days we’ll all be thinking abut the sacrifices the soldiers in our armed forces have made, whether through your own personal moment of silence or standing on the cool lawn at Centenniel Park, watching the ceremonies. In the last few years, I find each Remembrance Day has a slight tension to it, in the sense that it’s no secret the number of veterans from the “great wars” are slowly dwindling. There’s the question of who will be there next year, when November 11 rolls around again. I wrote in this space last year about my grandparents, who met when my grandfather was on leave in Ontario from the navy. They’re still with us, which I’m thankful for, but time marches on for them as for everyone. The challenge for each new generation is find ways to respect soldiers’ sacrifices. But it’s going to be hard. Even over decade ago, I still remember a high school Remembrance Day assembly, and one student, from a lower grade than me, taking it upon himself to mutter “beep beep” when he felt the moment of silence should have ended. There’s that disconnect between the generations who fought and the current day generations. As we continue to lose veterans, we lose a link to a world of the past, where wars were fought differently. In fact a world where wars themselves were different. As we mark November 11, we should remember not just the sacrifices of soldiers past and present, but remember what made the past generation special. In a world of drone warfare, there was a time that even in conflict we could hold on to our humanity. Like in 1914, when soldiers from both sides of the trenches unofficially declared ceasefires in the week leading up to Christmas. Or in 1943, a story which made waves in the media when it was revealed recently, where a Luftwaffe fighter scrambled to head off a badly damaged bomber. When the pilot saw the extent of the damage to his enemy plane, rather than shoot it down, he flew up to be visible to the pilot, and tried to gesture to either land and surrender or land in nearby Sweden. With those examples, we should remember not just the fact that there were terrible wars — and still are, lets not forget — but that the generation of our grandparents, or great-grandparents, showed remarkable compassion in times of immense turmoil. We remember their sacrifice and humanity. It should hopefully remind us that there is always more generosity in us to give. Cameron Orr

Spears’ music toxic to pirates Canada’s federal politics continues to be held captive by the raucous tsunami of controversy swirling around the Senate scandal and over the next week there’s no chance that the momentum will ease off so here I am again trapped by deadlines too far ahead of events to live with. While one wonders what’s next you can’t help being swept up in the hysteria, the speculation, even the lies, but there’s still the issue of just who is lying. In the meantime it is enough to watch the minute-by-minute give and take, cut and thrust and wondering who goes “under the bus” next? But there’s plenty of other grist for the mill and many have an equal measure of incredibility. Under Miscellaneous has a couple you may have missed. The recent Tom Hanks “Captain Phillips” movie was a little slower at the box office than expected. Maybe it was the premier competition it was up against, or maybe the musical score could have been cranked up for younger viewers. Captain Phillips, it appears was not as well “armed,” as some of the trade ships now plying the Indian Ocean off the coast of Somalia. The British Merchant Navy says they’ve had good success driving off predomi-

Under Miscellaneous by Allan Hewitson ahewitson@telus.net nantly Muslim Somali pirates operating off the horn of Africa, by playing Britney Spears’ songs at ridiculously high decibel levels, from loudspeakers pointed downwards from the decks of the ships. Since 2011, Somali pirates have attacked some 176 vessels and have reportedly raised several millions of dollars in ransom for ships and crew. Now we learn the pirate hordes seem to flee the din of Britney Spears’ music and other “infidel” rock’n’roll and rap music. According to Merchant Navy Officer Rachel Owens the pirates particularly can’t stand the racket of Britney Spears singing “Toxic” and “Baby, one more time,” two songs specially selected by naval security members of the Security Association for the Maritime Industry. “It’s so effective the ship’s security rarely needs to resort to firing guns,” Owens said in The Mirror, a UK newspaper. “As soon as the pirates get a blast of Britney, they move on as quickly as

they can. These guys can’t stand Western culture or music, making Britney’s hits perfect.” It’s not the first time I’ve heard that some music can help steer away the bad guys. Convenience stores in Ontario, I recall, reported heavy classical music played outside store doorways helped drive away unsavoury loiterers hanging around the doors to panhandle customers. I have to say, a leading candidate for the most useless news item of the week is an international poll among 8,000 international travellers declaring French the sexiest language in the world, just edging out Italian and British English. According to a Hotels.com survey (the site says it represents 220,000 hotels in 60 countries), it is not just the city of Paris’ “majestic architecture or reputation as the capital of romance that draws millions of tourists every year, but the sensual charm of the French language that makes the country a desired tourist destination.” Whoopee. There’s much better news from research conducted in the UK by the Guinness company that concludes that men need to get together with their friends at least twice a week “to drink beer and play sports.” Continued on page 7

A competitive LNG market landscape In the hyped up world of LNG there is no shortage of proponents seeking the supposed pot of gold at the end of that particular rainbow. On our coast the list of those planning - or at least considering - building an LNG plant is long. Nearly all of the proponents are major companies - Chevron, Apache, Petronas of Malaysia, Brit outfit BG and Shell for example. And all of them have an ownership stake in the gas fields that will feed their plants. An exception in our backyard is the BC LNG Co-op proposal to moor a floating LNG plant in the Douglas Channel just south of Kitimat. The partners in this venture, which include the Haisla First Nation, do not own any gas fields and made it clear from the start their idea was to provide an outlet for small to medium sized natural gas producers. Now there is an echo of that concept south of the border, namely the Oregon LNG project. Talking about that proposal in late September, company CEO Peter Hansen said, “(Oregon LNG) does creates a reasonable outlet for small and medium sized gas producers” (Calgary Herald) His point was the same as the Co-op’s: global whales like Chevron, Petronas, Shell, etc. will build plants to suit their needs and aren’t much interested in providing an outlet for the minnows. But what was most interesting was Hansen saying he saw Canada as the main source of natural gas for the Oregon plant, going so far as to describe it as “just another British Columbia coast project.” So why the emphasis on Canadian natural gas since I am sure there are small to medium producers in the USA? For the answer to that question, we probably have to go back to 1973 and the OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) crisis. That was when the Middle Eastern oil producers decided to punish those countries, including the United States, that supported Israel in the Yom Kippur war through an oil embargo, a move that sent gasoline prices skyrocketing. And having learned what power they held, the OPEC countries have ever since been pretty smart about adjusting their supply to ensure the best possible return on their oil. In the wake of that crisis, energy self-sufficiency became the US Holy Grail, although frankly it was then more political rhetoric than anything meaningful. But today it is estimated that the US could actually achieve that goal by 2030 as a result of the boom in both unconventional oil and natural gas. Seeing the prize within its grasp, the US is being cautious about the amount of natural gas it will allow to be exported. So Oregon LNG appears to have come up with a cute way of avoiding that problem.

As in, “Hey, we’re not going to export our gas, we’re going to ship out Canadian stuff so there is no threat here to self-sufficiency!” (That said, I have my doubts that ploy will work since I suspect the Americans regard our gas as theirs.) It also occurs to me that natural gas producers in BC may find it attractive to ship their product to a US LNG plant rather than one on our coast. The reason for that is there is not, to my knowledge, any export tax on natural gas exports whereas the BC government is planning to slap one on LNG exports So routing through a US LNG plant will reduce the price of that LNG by the amount of the taxes BC levies. And in an increasingly competitive market, every little helps. A final note on LNG in BC - and one that will likely cool the ardour of those touting LNG as our economic saviour. Talking to reporters at the 2013 Calgary Energy Roundtable conference three weeks ago, Chevron Canada president Jeff Lehrmann had this to say on the Kitimat LNG project in which the company owns a 50 per cent stake. First, Chevron’s US mothership has dozens of projects around the world it could invest in but it will only do so in the best ones. Second, he pointed out the Gorgon gas field in Australia was discovered back in 1986, but the project only went ahead a few years ago. In other words, Chevron, unlike governments, takes a very long-term view. Then the Big Chill: “(Kitimat LNG) may not be today, but it might be for the future. Something for my kids or their kids.” (Calgary Herald) Before people assume the sky is falling, I offer a couple of thoughts.

Reflections on the war This piece was submitted by Anne Bunn with the permission of the original author, who used to live in Kitimat: We know the siren will go soon. Our dog Rex will tell us as she knows when there’s a raid coming and she is the first one down into the air raid shelter. We are on the outskirts of the Barrage Balloons, which are supposed to stop the planes getting through to central London. Those that do get through drop their bombs and return to base. It has been fairly quiet at night, so my parents decide we won’t go down the shelter. We worked on a jigsaw puzle. Uh! Uh! There goes the alert and they start dropping incendiaries. They usually came in five’s. One, two, we hold our breath, it passes over us. We had survived. I was working in London on Oxford Street and saw a poster as for volunteers for the Woman’s Land Army. At lunch time I walked to the Big Ben recruiting office. I was accepted although I was only 16. “Yes, I was ‘sweet 16 once!” Ha! Ha! As I had to be 17 to be eligible, I falsified my age. Everyone was doing that in those days. My life changed. Civilian uniform, green jersey, jodhpurs and a ‘Tilley’ style hat. Real cool! (I thought so at the time.) We were taken by truck to a hostel on Romney Marsh in Ken, not far from Dover. The first night we all walked down to the local pub. I had a fizzy cherry brandy. I thought God would strike me down, how naive, told you I was sweet 16. I was sent to a farm to do general farm work. It was hard work but I loved it. Unfortunately my partner on this farm broke her ankle and I was on my own. I was very well treated by the farmer. We could watch the Liftwaffe going to Lon-

don. It was fairly quiet on the marsh, although we could hear the guns across the channel. The Doodle Bugs started coming, we were in Doodle Bug Alley. Spitfires brought so many down, the worst part was when the engines on the bugs stopped, then you held your breath until it crashed. We were machine gunned in the fields, we didn’t realize what was happening. It was so fast, we were lucky to get through it safely. We had a chance in the fall to choose what we would like to do; general farming, threshing or milking. I chose milking and I got quite good at it. I was then posted to a remote farm seven miles from Canterbury. Only two land girls in the village. I was lonely, so I managed to transfer to a hostel in Ashford, Kent. It was there in this lovely old house that the light went on. At weekends, everyone was off home, and dopey me I had to milk the cows seven days a week. So, I soon changed that. Life became livelier. It was very hard work but being in a group made it bearable. After a hard days work we would get back to the hostel for a quick wash. (no showers or baths.) A truck would be there to take us to some searchlight battery for a dance. We would walk and cycle for miles. Guns would be blasting, flack everywhere. There was a 10 o’clock curfew. Many times the local policeman would chase us on our bikes after going to a movie at a local RAF station. After writing this, it sounds as though I enjoyed the war, but I was one of the lucky ones. We made the most of it. I could go on and on, but I am sure there are a lot out there that have much more exciting tales to tell. Joyce Fulljames

A poetic salute from one veteran to all veterans Dear Sir, Year of the Veteran The veteran stood and faced God, which much always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shiny, just as brightly as his brass. Step forward now you veteran, how shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To my church have you been true? The veteran squared his shoulders and said, no, God, I guess I ain’t. Because those of us who carry guns, can’t always be a saint. I’ve had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was tough. And sometimes I’ve been violent, because the world is

awfully rough. But I never took a penny that wasn’t mine to keep. Though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills go just too steep. And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I’ve wept an unmanly tear. I know I don’t deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around, except to calm their fear. If you’ve got a place for me God, it needn’t be so grand. I never expected or had too much, but if you don’t, I’ll understand. There

was

silence

all

around the throne, where the saints had often trod. As the veteran waited quietly, for the judgement of his God. Step forward now you veteran, you’ve born your burdens well. Walk peacefully on heaven’s street, you don’t your time in hell. It’s the veteran, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It’s the veteran, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It’s the veteran, not the politician, who ensures our right to life, liberty an the pursuit of happiness. It’s the veteran who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and who’s coffin is draped by the flat. Chuck Doyle, Kitimat

Cold weather Continued from page 1 “There are a number of residents as well who have to the end of this month to find new accommodation and some are having challenges.” The anticipated plan, if funding for the worker is approved, would include input from other communities as to what works for them, and risks in providing cold weather response. The Kitimat Child Development Centre says

they are willing to administer the funding and recruitment of the Cold Weather Response Worker. A letter to council from the CDC’s Margaret Warcup said that they have identified a qualified person for the position already, and a volunteer has also come forward. Council was given the presentation on October 28 on this but did not debate the idea at the same meeting.

environmental assessment of the Proposed lNG Canada export terminal Project, Kitimat, B.C.

Open House and Invitation to Comment LNG Canada (The Proponent) is proposing to construct and operate a natural gas liquefaction facility and marine terminal for the export of liquefied natural gas. The proposed project is called the LNG Canada Export Terminal Project and will be located in the District of Kitimat, B.C. The proposed project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for a certificate by the Proponent, Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve Application Information Requirements. The Application Information Requirements will specify the studies to be conducted and the detailed information to be provided by the Proponent in its Application. The EAO has now received draft Application Information Requirements from the Proponent and invites comments on this draft. To provide information about the Application Information Requirements, the EAO invites the public to attend an Open House.

The comment period will begin on November 13, 2013 and end on December 13, 2013. all comments received during this comment period in relation to the application information Requirements will be considered.

After taking public comments into account, EAO will finalize the Application Information Requirements and issue them to the Proponent. EAO accepts public comments through the following ways: By ONliNe FORm http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca By mail Scott Bailey Executive Project Director Environmental Assessment Office, PO Box 9426 Stn Prov Govt, Victoria BC V8W 9V1 By Fax 250-387-0230 An electronic copy of the Application Information Requirements and information regarding the environmental assessment process are available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca.

The Crossroads development proposal, which would see a hotel and temporary worker accommodation tied in with a shopping complex, is making moves through the bureaucracy. Council has directed the administration to prepare amendments for the Official Community Plan and zoning to allow for the project to be built. The application, from Stuart Ramsay, the principal for Bryton Group, comes in two parts, the first to amend the zoning of a particular parcel of land, which is effectively between the Forest Avenue and Kitamaat Village Road, to allow the construction of a hotel. The actual application asks that permitted uses on the C5 commercial zone allow for a hotel and service station. The desire is also to see an increase in height

for buildings, to allow for a building up to six stories tall. In the second phase of the application, Ramsay has asked for a rezoning of the rest of the lot to build a 1,000 bed temporary worker housing facility. It is said the anticipation is to build that facility in a way to not be visible from the highway or Kitamaat Village Road. Staff has suggested it’s possible for the temporary beds to have additional stipends of $500 and $300 a bed, for an Affordable Housing Fund and the Pollution Control Centre, respectively. That’s not something that council will necessarily pursue, given comments from Phil Germuth who suggested the additional money could be a “punishment” as the proponent proposes to build a 300 room hotel.

Country singer back to his roots Cameron Orr Aaron Pritchett, who spent 1977 to 1982 being raised in Kitimat, returned to his roots to perform in front of the hometown crowd on October 20, part of the Lets Talk Energy forum held at Mount Elizabeth Theatre. It was a good time back in Kitimat for the country-music singer, who hadn’t seen the town for 23 years. “Coming back was pretty amazing, and I never really spent time like I’m going to spend this time here, since about ‘82, really,” he said. So what does Pritchett think about how the town has developed? “So much is the same. Driving down Haisla [Boulevard] and the trees looked like they haven’t grown, but I like that... it’s familiarity,” he said. “I feel comfortable with coming back.” He did notice a few things missing, namely Kitimat’s former hospital. And the appearance of a Tim Horton’s didn’t pass his notice. Pritchett can’t claim that much of his path to writing hit Canadian country music singles started in Kitimat, but he

The small world of Kitimat entertainers When it comes to entertainers with Kitimat roots, it’s an amazingly small world. Aaron Pritchett was raised in Kitimat. His second son, Aaron, plays in the band Faber Drive. Calvin Lechner, from 2008 to 2009, was a drummer for that same band, and he also hails from Kitimat as his home town. did know he always wanted to be in the entertainment business. He even noted the room he gave his interview in, the drama room at Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School, was a room he knew from growing up in town. “I gained more of a country thing when I moved down there [Vancouver] and started listening to Randy Travis in about ‘87. Still, I was a closet listener, not a lot of people listening to country music even then.” But at 43 years, Pritchett is approaching a more sentimental time in his life. “As I’m getting older you sort of go ‘man, I really miss that place.’” Pritchett brought his son Jordan with him, who joined him on stage to sing a

song, his son’s first time performing with his dad. “The idea of coming back here in the first place is always something I’ve wanted to do, just never found the means and the time,” he added. “When it came up that they wanted me to be a showcase entertainer for the event, I jumped at it, of course I’m not going to turn that down.” Pritchett admits he doesn’t keep up to date on everything that’s been happening in town, when asked given that he was performing at an energy event. But he does find forums like this valuable to people. “I think an event like today is necessary for people to get a better idea of what’s possibly going to be happening,” he said.

Tom Fletcher The B.C. government has reached out to U.S. states and the domestic clean energy industry in an effort to keep its greenhouse gas reduction goals in sight. Energy Minister Bill Bennett hopes to have details out by the end of the year for a “modest” clean energy program he promised to private power developers at a conference in Vancouver this week. With BC Hydro projecting an electricity surplus in the near future, there won’t be another clean power call any time soon for run-of-river, wind and other producers, Bennett said in an interview. A priority will be energy development for aboriginal communities, which have used small power production to get off diesel generators and to generate new income. The new commitment comes as BC Hydro continues weeding out proposals that haven’t delivered on power purchase contracts, in order to cut down on the utility’s growing debt. The government also signed an agreement this week with western U.S. states called the Pacific Coast Collaborative, to extend efforts to put a regional price on carbon. B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak signed the agreement in San Francisco with Washington Governor Jay Inslee, Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber and California Governor Jerry Brown.

It’s time to talk about LNG in Northern BC Liquefied natural gas (LNG) development will have major economic and social impacts across Northwest BC. Building the kind of economy we want requires strong local input. Please join us for a conversation with LNG proponents, local First Nations and community partners.

Coleman still pumped on LNG Jeff Nagel Deputy premier Rich Coleman says he’s not apologizing for talking up the liquefied natural gas (LNG) windfall awaiting B.C. and dismissed a report that criticizes the B.C. government for being overly optimistic. “I don’t mind being accused of being an optimist,” he said in an interview Wednesday. “I was accused of that last year when everybody thought we were not going to ever win another election in B.C.” The minister responsible for natural gas development spoke to the Surrey Board of Trade as part of a panel on LNG. He was reacting to a critical report this week from the Calgarybased Canada West Foundation, which cautioned B.C. needs to adopt “realistic expectations” and understand the case for creating a major new LNG industry is solid but not guaranteed. Titled “Managing Expectations,” the report cautions other LNG projects in Australia are further advanced and others around the world pose a threat of competition that will push down potential revenues. “B.C. is coming late to the party,” it says. “Expectations of just a year ago may be tough to deliver.” The report also notes the proponents in B.C. face potentially large costs relative to other areas to build new pipelines to the coastal LNG plants that would chill and liquefy shale gas for export by tankers to Asia. The think tank recommends the province move fast to outmaneuver competitors but also prepare for a “more modest natural gas boom” in case the industry doesn’t blossom as fast as Victoria hopes. “I get a kick out of that because at the same time they also say there’s a huge opportunity in British Columbia for liquefied natural gas,” Coleman said of Canada West’s findings. In his address to the business audience, he said B.C. has 150 years worth of natural gas reserves to sell that promise to “change the face of the province” like no other opportunity since the years of Premier W.A.C. Bennett. Coleman said five LNG plants would be equivalent to adding $1 trillion to the B.C. economy over SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER! Subscribe to the K

“These guys are spending real money in real places and they’re dead serious about being here.” 30 years, making the province debtfree within 15 years and creating a $100-billion prosperity fund for future programs. He also insisted B.C. has advantages for LNG, among them its shipping proximity to Asia and the cool temperatures of the north coast, which mean cheaper costs to supercool natural gas compared to hot climes like Perth, Australia. Coleman said a partnership led by Shell on a potential LNG Canada plant will see $1 billion spent just in the process of making the final investment decision. The nearby Chevron-Apache LNG partnership has already spent more than $500 million and “taken the top off a mountain” as part of site preparation work. “These guys are spending real money in real places and they’re dead serious about being here,” he said of the various proponents. He said the capital investment for five plants could hit $100 billion, far exceeding the biggest recent private investment of the new $3.3 billion RioTinto Alcan aluminum smelter in Kitimat, and creating more than 100,000 jobs. That work can extend across the province, Coleman said, noting remote camps are already being built by Britco at its plants in Langley and Agassiz. Trades training to fit the future needs are a major challenge – presuming the projects go ahead. A key to ensuring they do, Coleman said, is assuring foreign proponents that they will have business certainty in B.C. The government will soon decide its tax and royalty structure and Coleman said that will be legislated to assure operators that it’s “written in stone” and no future government will try to extract more money from them.

With November 11, Remembrance Day, close by, the Kitimat Legion Branch 250 have officially launched the Poppy fundraiser campaign. Making a donation to get a poppy means money that is distributed to local groups, including the Kitimat Cadets program, and the Legion has also used the money to purchase equipment for multi-level care at the hospital. Money also goes to service men and women who are in need, and their families, and personal comfort for veterans who are hospitalized. Shown here with Mayor Joanne Monaghan are some of Kitimat’s veterans and Legion members Ken Minifie, Chuck Doyle, and Maxwell Cheyne, with Legion President Marg Bogaert.

The staggering cost of finding and hiring top talent today—not to mention the millions of dollars’ worth of productivity that can be left unrealized when a company’s employees aren’t engaged with their jobs—highlights

the need to devote more time and resources to developing and managing this greatest asset.1

public hearing november 18, 2013

What:

development permit amendment

A Public Hearing will be held on Monday, November 18 at 7:30pm at Council Chambers, 606 Mountainview Square to consider the following amendment: What is it?

The proposed bylaw changes how the municipality regulates Development Permits in the Downtown Revitalization Area. What changes? The proposed change would streamline Development Permits for applications with project cost below $50,000 by delegating the approval process to staff. Public Notice and referral to the Downtown Design Panel elements of the process would remain unchanged. Times savings would be up to three weeks. Appeal to Council remains an option.
