The early crowd of Douglas Channel Watch protesters gather in Centennial Park following the federal government’s decision in favour of the Northern Gateway proposal on June 7.
Life may only get harder after NGP decision A decision has been made and the federal government has approved the Joint Review Panel’s recommendations on the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines proposal. The government made the announcement around 2 p.m. on June 17. The decision will allow the National Energy Board to issue the Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity. “After carefully reviewing the report, the Government accepts the independent Panel’s recommendation to impose 209 conditions on Northern Gateway Pipelines’ proposal,” said Canada’s Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford in a news release. The decision will certainly lead to
court challenges. Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross, who leads the community at the head of the Douglas Channel where Northern Gateway would flow diluted bitumen to, said court is the next step. “We actually made the decision back in 2009 that if our Rights and Title case law principles aren’t abided by then we have no choice but to go to court,” he said, saying the experience so far is that Canada has not been following rights and title case law. “Not only on our own but in partnership with other First Nations.” On the possibility of consultation at this point, he said it would be too late. The government had been warned on the implications, he said. “Every mistake they’ve made we actu-
ally pointed out to them and said ‘this is not following case law principles. You’re making a mistake, you shouldn’t do this.’ But they went ahead and did it,” he said. “It is going to be court. It has to be court.” Meanwhile District of Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan said she doesn’t foresee much more municipal involvement in opposing the pipeline beyond their actions following the April plebiscite. She said the council has communicated with levels of government the community’s decision in a plebiscite which saw a majority of people oppose the project. Kitimat Council since officially opposed the project as well. “I think that’s where that ends,” she
said. “I think most of the councillors are of the opinion they really don’t want to see bitumen going down the channel, they would rather have it refined and have a product that’s refined going down the channel.” Douglas Channel Watch members in Kitimat meanwhile are not surprised by the federal government’s decision. But they’re confident that Prime Minister Stephen Harper will feel the effects of his decision. “I think politically now he’s going to find out what the people of B.C. feel and that we are not going to support this government in the next election,” said Douglas Channel Watch’s newest member Patricia Lange.

Book not closed on marine use plan Cameron Orr Council and the public have not given up hope that the Marine Planning Partnership system can be halted until there’s been meaningful consultation. The partnership, which includes various stakeholders and First Nations on an advisory group, have been developing marine plans outlining suggestions for the provincial government on how to manage and develop coastal areas. However many have felt left out of the process, and even after council spoke to representatives of MaPP at a recent open meeting, they still are pushing for better consultation. The public has joined the fight as well. Most vocal is
Dave Wahl, who runs Eagle Edge Charters in Kitimat, and who wrote and presented to Kitimat Council to push for his suggested motion that the MaPP proposal be held in abeyance until there’s been meaningful consultation. “If we don’t do something about it we’re not only denying the people of British Columbia to examine this, we’re also just going right over the heads of all the governments, including the federal government,” he said. The MaPP process has bypassed all structures of government, he said. Wahl also noted that in speaking to MLA Robin Austin and MP Nathan Cullen, neither had knowledge of the MaPP process. Councillors, who asked for but failed to receive an
extension to the public comment portion of the MaPP process, passed a motion which reads, “That the MaPP proposal be held in abeyance until full meaningful consultation with ocean user groups as equal partners is complete.” It is the first line of Wahl’s suggested motion, which in full had outlined how consultation should occur. Feldhoff, who moved it, said that if full meaningful consultation takes place all those other details would follow. “I’m really, really disappointed,” said Feldhoff about the MaPP process so far. “I’m very disappointed that they would not give the community meaningful consultation and extend the timelines.” Continued on page 2

Regional Hospital land given new purpose briefs aCameron commercially develop Orr Airport
Just five months into the year, the Northwest Regional Airport came very close to cracking the 100,000 passenger mark. May’s total of 21,179 passengers, the third month in a row the airport has experienced traffic of more than 20,000 passengers, brought the year to date total to 98,369. That’s more than the January to May 2013 total of 60,602. For all of 2013, 177,294 passengers used the airport, an increase over the 139,193 mark in 2012.
LNG The Kitsumkalum First Nation is threatening to put a halt to liquefied natural gas projects on the North Coast unless the province accommodates their concerns. Kitsumkalum Chief Don Roberts said the LNG projects - including the BG Group terminal on Ridley Island and the Pacific NorthWest LNG terminal on Lelu Island - are on their territory, but the government is simply not including the nation in discussions. “We are part of the Tsimshian Nation. We own sites on the coast. We have been there from the beginning of time and we are still there,” he said. “Our members continue to rely on sea foods and other resources up and down the coast today. These projects will affect our people a great deal and that is not being recognized by the government,” said Roberts. “If British Columbia continues to deny us the recognition and respect for our title and rights on the coast, and fails to include us meaningfully in the benefits of this industry, we will do whatever is required to make sure that these projects do not proceed.”
The large, empty plot of land in downtown Kitimat which one held up the Kitimat General Hospital, has been given new owners and a new lease on life. The Haisla Nation now own the land, which by next year should see construction of a commercial space, including shopping and a restaurant. Ross said interviews are ongoing for tenants to the space. Premier Christy Clark made a trip to Kitimat to join Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross and Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan in officially recognizing the land’s new ownership, the event billed as relationship building between the three governments. “This site is really about nation building. It’s about community building and it’s about partnerships. This will enable the Haisla, this transfer of land, to
this piece of property and that’s going to mean huge opportunities in this community,” said Clark to a crowd in Kitimat June 17. Ross said deals like this will set a foundation for the younger generations. “We’re talking about inclusion here of the Haisla people, and trying to regain what we’ve lost over the last 100 years,” he said. “We’re talking about reconciliation, but what really drives us as a council is actually developing a future for our young people today that need a job, and for our kids and for our grandkids. We shouldn’t be begging for opportunities in our own territory. This is a small chunk of land that we’re talking about today, but this is symbolic of what the Haisla want. We want to be included and we want to be put

in a position where we can actually determine our own destiny, on our own terms, without answering to anybody.” He thanked the province and the District of Kitimat for working with them to negotiate the sale of the land. Monaghan said planning for the old hospital site was among the first meetings she had when she became mayor six years ago. “We recognize that building a relationship during busy times is no easy task. However, when all of this development is done it will be the District and Haisla who are still
Computer upgrade costs a bit more than expected Cameron Orr In order to upgrade purchasing software and its server, the District of Kitimat had budgeted $45,000 for the work. But staff sought and received a $15,000 amendment to the budget due to unforeseen licencsing costs for the Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL), a crucial component to the new system. According to the District of Kitimat, the now $60,000 price tag for the upgrades will considerably improve the town’s purchasing system. Namely the process now, they say, is
based on paper and manual processing. The price tag includes software licenses, installation and training, among other costs. The new system will save time and improve reporting, the town says. As for the Microsoft SQL addition, the town says there are specific features of Microsoft’s SQL that are needed for the system which are not on other versions of similar software. There are free versions of the SQL, however those are very limited in their functionality.
here,” she said. She said she’s spoken with Ross and indicated her desire to see a conference centre built on the space as demand for such facilities are high in Kitimat and would be a boon to the community to have. While noting there have been stumbling blocks to relationship building in the past between the District and the Haisla, she said the two communities are starting to get back and that the municipality’s Chief Administrative Officer Ron Poole in particular has been doing an extraordinary job working with the Haisla.

The relations It sometimes surprises me the things that will impact the higher levels of government. On the surface having Premier Christy Clark in Kitimat was a funny surprise. Locally, of course, the fate of the former Kitimat General Hospital site is an important one, the site for years just languishing in neglect. (Since 2005, in fact, when the building was imploded in dramatic fashion.) Yet for how important it is locally, does the leader of the province need to make a visit to commemorate the occasion? Well maybe it is. I do know there have been times where relations between the District of Kitimat and the Haisla Nation haven’t been all the best. As many know I wasn’t raised here so it’s hard to know where the history begins. In Kitimat though, and the region, the province is putting their eggs into the LNG basket and the great plans of the next few years involves Kitimat significantly. Governmental relations are crucial in this era of hoped-for development. You need the province working with the local governments, and you need, more than ever, the involvement of First Nations.
Clark is clearly playing the diplomatic part, standing behind a new land agreement that will alter Kitimat’s urban landscape and is the first major, visible milestone of municipal and First Nations relations in awhile in these parts. So as much as this event may seem like just a few more stores or hotels (nothing is finalized yet, I should note) there’s a greater moment being had. The hospital land has been a long running issue. Mayor Monaghan pointed out it was among her first tasks when she became mayor six years ago. It’s gone from provincial land (it was a hospital so owned by the province) to a land in limbo. We should be happy that something is happening to it. It means there’s opportunities coming down the way as well. If the municipality and the Haisla can take down whatever’s been put in the way towards working together to improve the region, we will all benefit. We will see more development, and more employment. As two separate entities, the District and the Haisla will definitely not always agree on everything, but if both can sit at the table there should rarely be an impasse. Cameron Orr
Double chequing player salaries Glad to see the too-long NHL season grind to a halt? I was. But, just when you think you’ve heard it all you read something new about the apparently never-ending economic irrationality and lack of business acumen of league general managers and owners of professional hockey teams. Example: for six years after buying out Maple Leafs star Darcy Tucker the Leafs sent the fan-favourite battler an annual cheque for a million dollars not to play hockey for them. After eight seasons (five of which the Leafs made the playoffs) as one of the Leafs’ most popular players, Tucker’s long career with the team “foundered” on a decision by “saviour”/GM, Cliff Fletcher in 2008 when he chose to “buy out” the player, who was then 33. Since that day, he has cashed a “millionaire” cheque each year from the Leafs, ending this past season. Fletcher, however, remains with the team management as “senior advisor.” Quit listening! I wish I could say Darcy Tucker was alone in his bad luck, turned good financial fortune. However, over the past two seasons former Leaf Mike Komisarek has been receiving cheques for $1.66-million, to cover the unpaid portion of his five-year, $22.5 million contract, signed in July, 2009.

er, injuries and benching finally led to his clearing Leafs’ waivers at the end of 2013 and accepting an opportunity to try to rekindle his big money career with the Toronto Marlies. He was injured in game one in the minors and was eventually released as a free agent after being bought out. If, I guess, you’re not too too fussy about your player reputation it’s not the worst way to go. He also signed a $700,000 contract for a year with the Carolina Hurricanes, but only played 32 games for the club. We’ve agonized over the intense machinations of teams like Toronto struggling to get to the NHL playoffs. It is painful to watch and the fans howl. But I’m sure it’s a lot less painful if you’re on the sidelines and the mailman brings you a million dollars a year for not getting bashed around on the ice. Even better, you’re still free to join the Colorado Avalanche for two years in 2008 for another $4.5 million,
before retiring in October 2010 after 14 years in the league. Oh, and the Leafs still owe you four million dollars. These two examples, however, pale in comparison to the Tampa Bay Lightning buy out of former Rocket Richard trophy-winner Vincent Lecavalier. After spending all 14 seasons with the Lightning, he was bought out for $45 million in 2012-13, but never missed a beat (or a paycheque) as he signed a five-year contract days later with the Philadelphia Flyers for $22.6 million. The $30 million he’s negotiated he is still owed by Tampa is to be paid over 14 years ending long after Lecavalier will be retired. The Flyers also bought out flaky goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov, a year ago in June, owing him the remainder of a whopping $52 million contract after only two years at about $7 million a year. He’s played for about three other teams since, while collecting his buy out. Considering his fascination for outer space he must think the sun rises and sets on him. Eight-year Philly GM Pal Holmgren was replaced by ill-tempered ex-Flyers goalie Ron Hexstall for the upcoming season. Continued on page 5

Cheque Continued from page 4 New York Islanders gave up $24 million dollars buying out Rick DePietro, the Leafs also blew $14 million buying out Mikhail Grabovsky, who ended up like the rest of the Leafs, out of the playoffs after being picked up by the Washington Capitals. Washington is reportedly buying out Grabovsky. Less painful buyouts went to players like Danny Briere ($3 plus million, also by Philadel-
phia), but who had a nice run with the Montreal Canadiens in this year’s playoffs. There’s lots more but these few examples bring home the frequent high cost to a club of a bad pick, a risky trade or a “hunch” on a young player. Each can and often does, play havoc with the careers of NHL general managers, who eventually must carry the can for a hockey team’s repeated failure to get into the top four division spots for the lucrative playoffs.

District will develop bus service to Shames Rather than continue handing $15,000 over to Shames Mountain’s co-op in Terrace this year, council has opted to develop a bus service to bring Kitimatians to the mountain. The plan was initiated by Councillor Phil Germuth who during budget deliberations managed to get the annual $15,000 grant given to the ski hill on hold until Kitimat could explore options to instead use that money for transportation. The debate which took place on June 16 was split among two motions, the first being from Mario Feldhoff who moved to give the mountain the $15,000 as the town has done over the past few years. However that motion failed in a tie with Edwin Empinado, Rob Goffinet and Phil Germuth opposed. The motion which eventually passed was for the District to develop a bussing plan based on administration’s report which called for the use of a chartered 48 passenger coach bus, at a $1,642.50 cost per trip including chaperons and other costs. It’s yet to be decided how much or if a fee will still apply to riders. The staff had suggested a $40 charge for adults and $25 for people under 18. For 18 trips — representing the 18 Saturdays the mountain would be open for during their open season — that would be approximately $30,000 in total. Despite the spirited debate for their first
motion which failed in a split, all councillors opted to stand behind the bus service in a vote. “I think we have an opportunity here to
initiate something that may turn out to be a wild success,” said Phil Germuth. He said industries also have an opportunity to pitch in financial
support to the plan. To the first motion Feldhoff said the $15,00 is not a major amount of money. “We would be giving a small share for the
benefit of all Kitimatians who choose to go downhill skiing.” But later for the bus motion he said “If it helps increase the recreational opportuni-
ties that’s good.” At $15,000 only eight or nine actual trips could be afforded to the mountain based on cost estimates, and without knowing us-
age staff could not define a return rate if they charged fees for the travel. Council will be looking for industry support for the service too.

Teaching the bear necessities Cameron Orr Jenna Davie and Nathan Closter are on the case when it comes to bear safety in Kitimat. The pair are the latest in a line of summer employees for the District of Kitimat who spend the warm months building a foundation of knowledge on how to handle bears and how to prevent confrontations with the furry beasts. To long time residents of Kitimat it may seem second nature what to do when you sight a bear, but Davie and Closter say knowing and acting can be two different things. “Our main goal is to edu-
cate the public about bear safety, whether they’re out in the bush hiking and don’t know what to do...and attractant management, keeping your garbage locked up properly.” Even short hikes, like Pine Creek trail, can have bears, as Davie said she discovered when she took it recently and found lots of bear ‘calling cards’. Closter said there’s two kinds of bears, a defensive one who would rather not deal with a human, or aggressive bears, and those are the ones that it’s important to carry bear spray for. There are other tricks to
handling bear conflicts too. “One thing I say is if you have a bell put it on your dog’s collar,” Davie said, since the bell alerts bears you’re nearby and you may forget to shake it if you just carry it. (Or attach the bell to your backpack if you have no dog.) Unique this year over past years is that with the influx of new people to Kitimat working on projects there is a new generation of Kitimatians who actually don’t know much about bears or what to do with them and they’ve been reaching out to them too, as well as monitoring things like dumpsters at businesses.
Nathan Closter and Jenna Davie are spending the summer making sure people know how to manage potential bear problems. “We don’t want to give the bears any reason to stop in town,” said Davie. Closter adds that given Kitimat’s location, bears will always be passing through so the trick is to
keep attractants at a minimum. You can keep up with Bear Aware news at https://www.facebook.com/bear.aware.7 and at the Riverlodge for a community meeting on July 10 at 7 p.m.
Shannon Dos Santos Kitimat has a long tradition of strong women business leaders. From the 50s to the 70s there was a Kitimat Business and Professional Women’s Club. Cut to today, women are visible in all corners of business life, from retail to restaurant, from service to industry. Continuing to foster a strong business sense in upcoming generations of women is important, which is why we’re happy to celebrate local women in business. The impact of women on the business scene, in Kitimat and nationally, will continue to grow, especially if statistics have anything to say about it. Sure, men still outnumber women in Kitimat based on 2011’s number (by 214, hardly worth noting in a population nearing 9,000) but what’s telling is that men saw a more drastic drop in the population. In Kitimat, from 2006 to 2011, men saw an eight per cent drop, while women only saw a 6.6 drop in the population. We may have lost people, but we lost more men than women. All this means is we have even more women role models than ever. Whether your women in business hero is a television celebrity like the Dragon Dens’ Arlene Dickinson, or a Kitimat Valley business leader you read about here, there are no shortage of people to look up to.
Louisa Genzale Louisa Genzale isn’t fazed by much. Perhaps most crucially in her role, she’s not at all surprised that we’re in the second decade of the 21st century and the printed word is still among Kitimat’s primary news gathering means. Louisa leads the Kitimat Northern Sentinel as its Publisher, providing the guidance and management that keeps the weekly Sentinel, along with the weekly Northern Connector, the monthly N2K, and all the annual features and special publications like song book and tourism guide, humming for readers. Louisa began as a compositor in 1998, then carried her pre-press skills through technological revolutions using computer software to design and build the advertising, central to all newspapers. She is now in her 16th year at the Northern Sentinel and says what she finds most rewarding is the tight-knit and dedicated employees at the Sentinel who work together to bring you quality products. The Sentinel proved its quality by winning third place in the 2014 Ma Murray Newspaper Excellence Awards for its circulation class. She’s also pleased to work with Kitimat’s strong business community, who turn to her to help develop their advertising strategies as Kitimat ‘s economy continues to grow. Louisa is your go-to-gal for whatever you need to grow your business. Advertisements, flyer distribution and printing needs, she can handle it all. Give her a ring at 250-632-6144 any time.

Pipeline no further ahead: Austin Anna Killen Northwest reaction to the federal government’s conditional approval of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline flew in, with northwest leaders and environmentalists saying that this is just the beginning of a long process which will likely end up in the country’s highest court. “I don’t think this is any further ahead today than it was yesterday, I think the opposition will continue and it will end up in the courts,” said Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin of the announcement, which approved the proposed 1,177-kilometre twin heavy oil pipeline, subject to the 209 conditions imposed by last year’s federal review decision. He said the NDP will now focus on holding Premier Christy Clark to her word around the province’s five conditions. “My job is to represent the people up here who are a huge majority opposed to this and to hold the BC Liberals to account,” he said. “Prior to the election, Christy Clark made it clear that she had five conditions, those five conditions are nowhere close to being met.” The province has said the project doesn’t yet meet Premier Christy Clark’s five conditions for new heavy oil pipelines, which include world leading marine and land spill protections, resolution of aboriginal concerns and a fair share of benefits for B.C. And Environment Minister Mary Polak has indicated the province could refuse permits for the project’s construction in B.C. Saying the decision is “no great surprise”, Austin said he believes this is “the beginning of the next chapter of the fight on this.” He anticipates a long court battle between First Nations along the pipeline’s route and the federal government. “I suspect it’s going to be in court for a long time,” he said, adding he sees the fight heading to the Supreme Court of Canada. “I’m no constitutional lawyer, but if you look at the judicial rulings over the last five to 10 years in regards to First Nations’ rights and title, I suspect the First Nations lawyers will have a field day with this one. And we’ll fight it all the way.” Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen said he believes the line will never be built. “I truly believe this pipeline will never be built. I think the resolve and the passion of the people of the northwest will overcome it ... governments can grant permits, but only people can give permission,” he said. The NDP would put aside the decision if they form government following the 2015 election, he said. “The shovels won’t be in the ground by then because the next step is court challenges,” he said. “This is likely going to the Supreme Court against First Nations who know their way around the Supreme Court,” he said. “I think it will go to the Supreme Court and will likely be shot down there.” Northern Gateway project leader Janet Holder said she will continue to work to build on the 26 equity agreements the company has reached with aboriginal communities along the proposed pipeline route. She said the project team will review the government’s decision and continue to work toward meeting the 209 conditions set out by the Joint Review Panel. “Our team and I will continue traveling throughout British Columbia and continue speaking with people in their communities because today is just one step in a long process towards building a safer, better pipeline,” she said.
Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, June 25, 2014 9
Enbridge not rushing ahead Cameron Orr The federal government’s endorsement of the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines project doesn’t mean shovels in the ground for the pipeline company. In a conference call following the announcement, Enbridge President Al Monaco said this is just one more step. “We don’t see the decision as the final step. Lets be clear about that. But it’s one more step in the process. It’s a process that, frankly, requires a considered and respectful approach and one that takes time to do right,” he said. The tasks ahead are meeting the Joint Review Panel and the province of
B.C.’s conditions, as well as “Continuing to engage with B.C. communities and Aboriginal bands to build further trust where we haven’t been able to do that to date.” He said the process of meeting the JRP’s conditions for pre-construction will take at least a year if not more, and the company will be working with First Nations in that time, he said. “Certainly re-engaging the First Nations is a big priority for us, and then working with B.C. to identify any remaining gaps that are there between the progress we’ve made, the conditions outlined by the JRP and the conditions the province of B.C.
have outlined.” For Kitimat specifically, they didn’t call out Kitimat’s opposition to the project following the plebiscite as a specific hurdle. “We understand that definitely was the views of the voters of Kitimat at that time. I have to say that I think we learned an awful lot from the process and we have learned an awful lot from the citizens of Kitimat,” said Janet Holder, Vice President of Western Access for Northern Gateway. Monaco added that what he saw from plebiscite process is people in Kitimat also beginning to speak in favour of the pipeline.

Police biking to beat cancer Golf results Cameron Orr Come September there will be a serge of cycling police officers through the north. Er, surge, we mean. The Cops for Cancer Tour de North is ramping up for their up to 800km cycle from Prince George to Prince Rupert, with a stopover in Kitimat as well. Representing Kitimat’s constabulary is Cst. Rob Buller with the Kitimat RCMP detachment, who is leaving his comfort zone to train on his donated (for the run at least) bicycle. It’s not a style of cycling he’s used to, he says, historically having more experience on much heavier mountain bikes.
Yet the chance to make a difference in the ongoing fight against cancer was not an opportunity he wanted to waste. “All the money from it goes towards childhood cancer research and also goes towards support programs for the families and children,” he explained. Buller, as with each rider, is tasked to raise at least $3,000 and at this early stage he has already surpassed the $500 milestone. On July 11 and 12 he’ll be reaching out to the community with barbecues at Overwaitea. People can also donate to his cause by visiting www.tourdenorth.ca and searching
Cst. Rob Buller in his riding jersey. He’s fundraising for his Cops for Cancer ride through the northwest. for Robert Buller in the participants list. Buller says he knows the generous spirit of Kitimat residents and has little doubt he’ll make it to his goals. What will really make him sweat
though is, of course, cycling through the northwest’s challenging terrain. “Places like Hungry Hill along the way, those are pretty long days climbing those hills,” he said.

He said they also may be looking for people to put riders up for a night on September 16 when they’re in town and people should contact him at the detachment if they’re interested.
