Kitimat says no to Gateway Cameron Orr After over an hour of debate and discussion Kitimat Council settled on officially opposing the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines proposal. The motion reads “That Mayor and Council support the results of the April 12th plebiscite by adopting a position of being opposed to the Enbridge Northern Gateway project.” The original motion as presented by Phil Germuth was actually slightly longer and worded as “That Mayor and Council support the results of the April 12th plebiscite, the Haisla, and our neighbouring communities, by adopting a position of being opposed to the Enbridge Northern Gateway project.” With councillors Corinne Scott and Mary Murphy absent for the meeting, the motion passed 4-1, with Edwin Empinado the sole opponent to the motion supported by Germuth, Mario Feldhoff, Mayor Joanne Monaghan and Rob Goffinet. Empinado’s opposing vote however didn’t seem to be a statement against the project itself but he had lingering questions he couldn’t get answered at the meeting, and was concerned about the future ability of the town to still work with the company if the project eventually proceeds. Empinado said that he wants the to town to take a position that will allow them to protect the environment while still giving them the ability to work with the company to protect their interests. Monaghan said the motion pre-amended, which included references to neighbouring communities, was among the hardest in her political career. “The motion that’s before us goes far beyond the original motion of supporting the plebiscite. Therefore I feel I cannot vote in favour of this motion as it includes, for instance, Terrace, who voted against this project but who now want to join us in the refinery situation by having a tax [share].” Germuth expressed disappointment that the motion was picked apart as it was, but agreed to a friendly amendment from Feldhoff to get it to its final wording in order to get consensus from the council. In speaking to his motion Germuth emphasized Kitimat’s ongoing and past support of industrial development. “Kitimat has always supported industry. “This [project] just crossed the line in that risk and benefit was weighted to be way too much on the risk side,” he said. The motion, he added, won’t close the door to speaking to proponents in the future, including even with Enbridge themselves.

Delta Spirit officially opened Cameron Orr For just one afternoon the scores of people filling the lobby of the Delta Spirit Lodge, a re-fitted Estonian ferry to serve as housing for contract workers, were not workers themselves but community stakeholders and business people, on hand for the official blessing and opening of the ship. The vessel, which can house about 600 people, has already been opened to its guests, people located temporarily in Kitimat for the Kitimat Modernization Project. So far 450 beds have been committed, said Bridgemans Services’ partner Brian Grange, who was in attendance for the opening on April 24. Bridgemans and the Haisla partnered to bring the ship to

The ship is currently hiring for onboard workers but Grange says that they’ve tapped local residents as best as they can, with a so far 20 per cent workforce of local employees. There’s about 52
people working on the ship but may see that grow to around 70 in the near future. Brent Hegger, Rio Tinto’s managing director for product delivery, said that the 450 rooms so far reserved for KMP workers is enough for
the modernization’s current demand but they may increase that number in the future if they need. The ship traveled for 45 days to get to the north coast and hit rough weather in the English Channel and near San Francisco
before arrival. It’s a 10-deck ship, 580 feet long and 100 feet wide. By comparison the Northern Expedition ship of BC Ferries, which services Prince Rupert to Port Hardy, and to Haida Gwaii, is 507 feet long.

Jewelry heisted from stores The Kitimat and Terrace RCMP are each investigating two independent jewelry store robberies which occurred on April 22, and are trying to figure out if the two crimes are related. An unidentified male smashed open a display case for Cook’s Jewellers which faced into the mall hallway shortly after 1 p.m. and fled with an undisclosed amount of jewelry. The suspect is described as in his 20s, dark complexion and wearing a black windbreaker track suit type of jacket, and a bright red hat. Police quickly cordoned off the area
where the suspect was believed to have fled into a wooded area across the street from the upper City Centre Mall area. Police believe the suspect was picked up in a vehicle and left the area. A police service dog from Terrace was called in to assist tracking the suspect. A track was found but was lost at Lahakas Boulevard. Just under two hours later police learned of another a similar incident at the Carters Jewellers at the mall in Terrace. Kitimat’s Staff Sergeant Phil Harrison said they don’t yet know if the two
incidents are connected. Despite the similarity in the crime, it seems so far it may have been a different person in the Terrace incident. Police are looking for public help in identifying the person or persons responsible. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Kitimat police detachment at 250-632-7111, or call Crime Stoppers to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-8477. A cash reward may be offered for information leading to arrest and charges for people who report tips to Crime Stoppers.
Town to raise taxes by three per cent Kitimat Council has voted to increase the property tax rate three per cent for 2014. That comes after a special three-hour long meeting on April 16. Councillors had entertained discussion on April 14 but determined the issue needed a meeting without distractions of other items on the agenda. Councillor Mario Feldhoff had at that earlier meet-
ing believed that taxes could potentially only need to rise 1.5 per cent instead of three. He voted against the three per cent tax raise at the April 16 meeting, as did Mayor Joanne Monaghan. That three per cent rise will be equally distributed among the various property classes. Among other items that came from the discussion, council has directed staff to
investigate the feasibility of constructing a building at the Kitimat landfill or at Forest Avenue for the Kitimat Understanding the Environment (KUTE) operations. Also, a motion carried unanimously will move to a higher priority a plan to develop a sidewalk from Omenica Street to Lahakas Boulevard. The District Treasurer said the motion does not add the walkway project to the

Other budget additions was an extra $20,000 added to the budget to install a fence at the Kitimat Community Humane Society building. $5,000 was added to the budget for lettering and signs at Riverlodge. Staff has also been asked to designate funds in the 2014 budget to acquire Crown Lands for public recreation purposes.

Totals
Enbridge Northern Gateway had claimed lower spending against their project’s opponents in the lead up to the April 12 plebiscite in Kitimat, but new totals bring the company’s spending higher. While their print and radio ad spending remains the same at $6,500 and $3,100 respectively, Northern Gateway’s manager of coastal and aboriginal and community relations Donny Van Dyk told the Sentinel they had additional costs for signs and brochures which so far total approximately $12,800. That makes $22,400 total spent by Northern Gateway on all campaigning-related expenses. Based on these figures Enbridge was outspent by Douglas Channel Watch on print advertising, but spent more on radio and supplies. Douglas Channel Watch say they spent a total of $10,970 on print, $2,600 on radio with another $792.92 on supplies. That totals $14,362.92. The cost to Kitimat taxpayers remains at $13,500, not inclusive of some extra advertising the District of Kitimat bought near the end of the process. That includes $7,500 in wages, $1,000 for the ballots themselves, $3,000 for advertising and $2,000 in “other/materials.”

SuperValu not closing Cameron Orr A sign outside Kitimat’s SuperValu grocery store reveals that they won’t be closing their doors after all. The building’s landlord Dick Leung says that an extension has been agreed to which will allow Loblaws’ board of directors time to approve a longer term lease plus extra money towards store improvements. This comes after staff at the grocery store had been informed by the company that due to an inability to agree on terms for a new lease the store would be closing. Leung at the time had not been directly told by the company that they would not be renewing their lease. Loblaws, in a statement to the Sentinel last week, had said they wanted to continue operating the Kitimat store but confirmed they had yet to agree on a new lease at
that time. The store employs approximately 38 people, including managers. The potential store closure had upset many residents, leading to a community petition to keep the location open. Meanwhile Leung said he wanted to clear the air that he’s not seeking an excessive increase to the rent. Dick Leung contacted the Sentinel last week saying that despite rumours flying that he was seeking a 300 per cent increase in rent, that’s not the case at all. “It is simply not true,” said Leung in an e-mail. “We will accept any fair market rent determined by a professional appraiser. He said the sticking point to the negotiations had been that Loblaws only wants a nine month extension of the current lease, but Leung said he wanted a long-term lease.

No one wins Now that we’re pretty much entirely done with the Kitimat plebiscite we can thankfully move on to more immediate concerns in our community. That said, my focus on the next Big Issue in Kitimat™ has become a little less immediately pressing, but no less important to the community. It’s perhaps one of only a few silver linings to teacher job actions this year that Kitimat City High won’t be moving into Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School (MEMSS) in 2014, now pushed to 2015. As a reader of the Sentinel you have likely heard. The school district wants to move the operation of Kitimat City High, the community’s alternative high school, inside the building footprint of Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School, the town’s mainstream high school. Such a decision is one of those which makes you squint your eyes and wonder ‘what’s up?’ The school board is claiming no cost savings, which is typically a reason for anything done by a school board, given how tight education budgets can be. It will, they say, give the KCH students better access to some programs that MEMSS students enjoy.
There is no current plan for the building, they’ll use the same staff, except they’ll be utilizing empty space in the larger high school. In exchange for this physical transition to a new facility, the students at KCH, who enjoy the programs offered out of the ex-Cormorant Elementary School as it caters to their individual needs, will more closely integrate into the MEMSS student body. Or namely the same environment where they had difficulty succeeding in the past. The decision met with immediate uproar from parents who took to a recent school board meeting to express their concerns. But the parents weren’t on the agenda as submitted to trustees and so didn’t appear to get very far in speaking to the board about the decision. The decision itself to move KCH, it should be highlighted, is not a board motion. The program is still being run, albeit in a new facility. So the board need not have made any public motions. But the idea, as the board chair said, has been around for awhile. The decision to go through with the move, however, is new. It’s a conversation that clearly the parents and students were never involved in, given the surprise to the ones I’ve spoken with. Maybe there is more to learn about this decision, but it just seems wrong to take KCH students and put them to the sidelines of MEMSS. It does no one a service. Cameron Orr
CBC cuts hurt but broadcaster not a write off I really wanted to write this week about my concerns about increasing opposition to the development of gas supply pipelines that would trigger corporate commitment to any one of a number of major LNG export projects proposed for west coast ports like Kitimat and Prince Rupert to serve expanding Asian markets. Specifically, recent aboriginal opposition to gas-well fracking and gas pipeline construction in Fort Nelson as well as the high profile opposition to provincial legislation to fast track environmental approval of projects, I can see as only creating more uncertainty. I expect this back and forth will go on for a long time, while competing projects in other areas are not facing these hurdles. So far, few ordinary long-term residents of Kitimat are seeing real benefit from the so-called boom and indeed are experiencing only the more hurtful results of high expectations, rising prices for just about everything, and in particular for rents and homes – and even the potential closing of a longstanding business, which helps protect them from, well frankly, profiteers. This element too invites speedy close examination by all. So, instead, I’d like to spend some time adding my fervent objections to the federal government’s targeting of CBC Radio funding with extreme and
Under Miscellaneous by Allan Hewitson ahewitson@telus.net
serious cuts which are creating sad implications for those of us who believe that a strong public broadcasting system represents a long-term stabilizing influence for any country. Although some local stations in Canada were “on the air” before the CBC, the crown corporation is the oldest existing broadcasting network in Canada, first established in November, 1936. Now that’s a long time ago and in my opinions the CBC has done a splendid job of meeting Canada’s needs. Many people feel that PBS is a good role model for Canadian public broadcasting, but I would prefer to put my money on the model presented by the UK’s BBC and I certainly, personally would proudly pay an annual fee to retain it. That’s how important I think it is to have an independent magnifying glass on the whole country – but particularly on our government, our business institutions and our social development in difficult times..
And, I have to say the CBC’s pursuit of the truth in, for example, the Liberal government “sponsorship scandal” was no less intense than it was in the role of the Conservative leader, Stephen Harper’s Prime Ministers office, in the more recent Senate “illegal housing allowances” scandal and in all of the related hijinks involving Harper’s woeful Senate appointees. Liberal appointee Marc Harb tried hard to skip out by repaying owed monies but still wound up charged by the RCMP. I am aware that the CBC has voluntarily made personnel cuts in an effort to deal with the fed’s drastic funding cuts, but 657 jobs across the system seems very extreme, even if spread over a lengthy period. The decision to get out of bidding for professional sports, I fear, is also a hasty one. The old saying,, “honey, you’ll miss me when I’m gone...” and I add, “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” I do believe the CBC fulfils its mandate to be predominantly and distinctively Canadian, reflect Canada and its regions to national and regional audiences, while serving the special needs of those regions and actively contribute to the flow and exchange of cultural expression.

Kitimat’s actions speak louder than ads CBC cuts Dear Sir, After Enbridge’s April 12th plebiscite loss we can expect a change in their Northern Gateway charm offensive, but what Enbridge continually fails to understand is that glossy advertising campaigns cannot hide their past spills, or their actions after spills. While reading, watching, or listening to Enbridge’s warm and fuzzy advertisements, please keep in mind the following examples of how Enbridge treated local residents after their 3.8 million litre spill into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River. Residents who accepted Enbridge’s offer to pay medical expenses following the spill were asked to sign several forms. One form authorized the release, to Enbridge and its lawyers, all of that persons, “inpatient admissions, all ER visits, outpatient clinic notes, diagnostic testing,
ReadeR’s WRite radiology films, consults, doctors orders, progress notes, nurses notes, laboratory testing, social service records, reports, correspondence, consultations, memoranda, treatment plans, admission records, discharge summaries, medical summaries, diagnoses, and/or any writing of any kind ... [including] drug and alcohol records, communicable disease, HIV and AIDS records, and mental health records (not including psychotherapy notes)”. Residents who accepted Enbridge’s offer of compensation for restaurant meals or motel rooms after the spill were also asked to sign several forms. One was a settlement release form which “discharges Enbridge, its employees, agents, partners, directors, and officers, and affiliated
companies and their agents, partners, directors, and officers, from and against all liability, claims actions, causes of action, costs, and expenses, including without limitation claims for personal; injuries, property damage, that [the signer] ever had, has, or may have against Enbridge, whether known or unknown related to the incident.” Interesting, isn’t it, how the friendly faced, good neighbour image so carefully cultivated by Enbridge can disappear after one of their spills. Scarier still, is how Enbridge has protected itself from potential law suits by creating Northern Gateway, a separate company altogether. Actions do indeed speak louder than words, and expensive advertising campaigns. Sincerely, Murray Minchin
Social licence is out of reach for Enbridge Dear Sir, For at least the last five years or more the pipeline has been a hot topic in and around our community. Mr. Van Dyk himself said Enbridge has had 35 open houses in the community, Enbridge has offered hundreds of thousands in community
funding as incentives, the district has had a number of town hall meetings. Douglas Channel Watch has had countless educational presentations and even rallies for the community and the people finally voted. Not saying all were in favour, but 761 new registrants voted on
the plebiscite. Enbridge devoted a small fortune on a campaign for the ‘yes’ vote. Everything possible paved the way for a ‘yes’ vote victory and it did not happen. What part of no does Enbridge not understand? Pretty strange that their idea now is that they have
to try harder. Their dismal safety record and harsh treatment of people in Kalamazoo made it impossible for them to buy social licence in Kitimat. Give it up Enbridge you’ve beaten the pony to death. Sincerely Gerry Hummel

Continued from page 4 In 2012 the federal government cut CBC funding by $115 million and employee cutting began but it wasn’t until Rogers’ surprising bid to successfully wrest control NHL games for TSN and Hockey Night in Canada, that the Mother Corporation really was forced to take its longest hardest look at the way it does business. That’s when the release of just under 1,000 employees over three years as well as some radical paring of its coverage range. It was the loss of HNIC, a staple since 1952, that hit hardest, with the corporation realizing very significant and essential revenues from its most high profile show. Still, the deal is done and Canadian fans were shocked by the NHL dumping the CBC’s long term association to all things in pro hockey. Many used the loss as an excuse to propose various measures from shutting the corporation to gutting it. I doubt that this will happen – but there’s little doubt of the animosity between the Prime Minister and his broadcasting empire – clearly because he doesn’t control it and can’t muzzle it at will. While CBC has a lot of enemies, it also still has a big fan club. It has made tough choices for cuts. I wouldn’t write it off for a long, long time.

Enbridge inks an agreement with some trade unions Cameron Orr Enbridge Northern Gateway is touting a new agreement with some trade unions that they say will ensure more local jobs and less dependency on temporary foreign workers. The company announced on April 15 that they had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with four trade unions which guarantees a minimum target of 2,100 person-years of employment of union labour on the Northern Gateway project. The agreement was signed with the Pipe Line Contractors Association of Canada and the signatory unions were the Laborers’ International Union of
North America, the International Union of Operating Engineers, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry of the United States and Canada. Northern Gateway spokesperson Ivan Giesbrecht said that the agreements will mean the project can maximize local employment on the right of way first, then regional and national employment. As well as the 2,100 person-years employment, the MOU is said to ensure that the Project Labour Agreements “include guarantees consistent
with Northern Gateway’s publically-stated commitments to local
business opportunities, high-quality workmanship, worker and public
safety, and environmental protection. And T:7.3125” it complements exist-
ing agreements with Aboriginal communities guaranteeing em-
ployment and training opportunities,” according to a news release.
Thank You Kitimat. On behalf of all of us at Northern Gateway, we would like to thank you for opening your doors to us during the plebiscite. I know the team appreciated the opportunity to talk about the project with you. We are here, and we look forward to answering any questions you might have.

Tom Fletcher It wasn’t as many as in the global H1N1 pandemic of 2009, but this year’s influenza vaccine program delivered a record 1.4 million seasonal doses to B.C. residents. Resurgence of the H1N1 strain that triggered hospitalizations and deaths among younger patients motivated a lateseason surge in demand for flu shots after Christmas, resulting in temporary shortages of vaccine in some areas. Changes in policy also contributed to better protection against seasonal flu, said Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall. Health care workers and visitors were required to get the vaccine or wear masks in patient care areas, to protect patients with underlying conditions that make influenza more serious.

Government downgrades humpback’s endangered protection Tom Fletcher E nv i r o n m e n t a l groups are denouncing the federal government’s decision to downgrade endangered species protection for North Pacific humpback whales. The whales will now be listed as a “species of special concern” rather than “threatened” under Canada’s Species at Risk Act. The federal government will no longer be bound to protect the humpback’s critical habitat as a result, which critics say removes an obstacle for the Northern Gateway oil pipeline project. “The federal government is excusing itself from any legal obligation to protect humpback whale habitat, which conveniently makes it easier to approve the Enbridge pipeline and oil tanker proposal,” said Sierra Club campaigns director Caitlyn Vernon. “The continued recovery of humpback whales is completely incompatible with a massive increase in oil tanker traffic on B.C.’s coast, which is what they will face if the Enbridge and Kinder Morgan pipeline and tanker proposals proceed.” Ottawa’s decision cites a significant rebound in humpback populations identified in a 2011 assessment by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). “Growth rates have increased, leading to an improved abundance of the species,” it says, noting COSEWIC agreed humpbacks can now be reclassified. COSEWIC found humpback numbers have grown four per cent a year since the early 1990s and are up more than 50 per cent over the last three generations, or about 65 years, to more than 18,000 adult whales. “While the species’ situation has improved tremen-
dously over the last five decades, current numbers are still considerably smaller than the number that must have been present off the west coast of Vancouver Island before
1905,” the decision said. Residual threats also in part led COSEWIC to give humpbacks “special concern” status because they are “a recovering
wildlife species no longer considered to be threatened but not yet clearly secure.” Commercial hunting of humpbacks ended in 1966. About 13 of 22
respondents to government consultations on the issue opposed the downgrade, arguing humpback populations are still fragile and that there would be less to deter industry from
harming them. The whales are considered vulnerable to vessel strikes, entanglement in fishing gear and being disturbed by underwater noise. Critics say poten-
tial impacts will climb with a rise in tanker traffic and other industrial activity on the B.C. coast. The provincial government supported the change.

Life a struggle for renters As much as Joy Sparkes-Marshall and her mom Maxine may have some frustration over their recent ‘renoviction’ from the Kuldo Apartments, they don’t have the intent to attack their former landlords. It’s simply a fact that they had to pack up their home, or sell most of it off. Maxine herself had been in the apartment complex for two decades, although not all in the same unit. But the real focus of their energy is to the provincial government, who they say haven’t come to realize yet that the economy is way different now than it was 20 years ago, and the income assistance she and her mom receives — her mom is 78 years old and Joy has a number of ailments which require the use of a wheelchair or walker to move — is hardly enough to provide shelter and her needed medicines.
It should be noted that the two are very grateful to the landlords at their current apartment unit at Sandalwood. Three weeks until their move-out day at Kuldo they still had no place to go. Then at seemingly the last minute a single-bedroom unit became available and they moved in, literally hours after the last tenant left. It would have been an adjustment, before they lived in side-byside apartment units instead of in one. But Joy can hardly think of what her alternative could have been if something hadn’t come up. Today, they have the relatively quite fair rent of $850 for a onebedroom. Each month, though, Joy receives approximately $936 from Service BC, and she combines that with a modest Canadian Pension income with
her mom to pay the rent. The rest of the money gets divided up into other essentials, including medicine and food, of which Joy has specific requirements due to Celiac disease. Limited resources combined with limited availability in town means the mother and daughter live in some cramped quarters. Maxine’s own bed now takes up the dining area of their apartment kitchen. There’s simply no room to put the bed elsewhere. (Joy and Maxine said the decision for Maxine’s bed to be in the kitchen was mutually agreed to.) “We don’t live in 1970 anymore...Once I pay my rent and pay the three bills I have, my groceries are not cheap.” She adds, “If I lived in a one bedroom by myself and I pay the $850 rent, I have $100
