Campfire culprit in Kitimat wildfire The Kitimat Fire Department says an unattended campfire is the likely cause of a one hectare wildfire which put at risk the developments at Strawberry Meadows and left downtown blanketed in smoke July 17. The blaze was in challenging geography for the local fire department to reach and after an intial assessment “Equipment and they called the Northpersonnel all west Fire Centre, based in Smithers, for aerial gelled really well, support. and we’re very Water tankers and pleased with the helicopters were imoutcome of the mediately dispatched EOC.” to get the fire under control. Meanwhile heavy machinery was put to use to create fire breaks, to contain the fire if it managed to spread. A fire break is essentially knocking down trees and leaving a fire-fuel free buffer. “We weren’t allowing any members to go in, of our members or their [forest fire] members to go in, just due to certain hazards. The condition of the fire and the speed it was progressing,” said Deputy Fire Chief Pete Bizarro. In all there were about seven air drops with water tankers, while helicopters continued to drop water throughout the evening. Once air support finished ground forest fire fighters went in and took care of hot spots. “Jack [Oviatt] was on site, obviously had lots of equipment. We had a number of excavators working to make these fire guards,” added Bizarro. The fire was also the first activation of Kitimat’s new Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) since they set up in the Public Safety Building in the former council chambers. “Equipment and personnel all gelled really well, and we’re very pleased with the outcome of the EOC,” said Bizarro, saying their new set up proved very useful. As for evacuations, the Lower Dyke area was evacuated but he said there was no imminent danger to campers in the area. “The only reason I initiated that is because of the direction of the wind and the fact it would take some time for those campers to leave,” he said. If an evacuation was needed emergency services, including the fire department and the RCMP, would do a combination door-to-door knocking, loudspeaker service and using local media to alert people of the need to leave, and would establish a place for evacuees to gather. One Kitimat Firefighter did injure his ankle during the event and was treated at hospital and released.

Kitimat Airshed Assessment released Anyone holding their breath over ever seeing the Kitimat Airshed Assessment can breath easier now with its release on Friday. The Government of B.C. commissioned for the study of the impacts of industrial developments to the Kitimat area, but since it finished the government had held on to the document claiming it as Crown privilege. Speaking to reporters Friday Environment Minister Mary Polak said it was always meant to eventually be released publicly. An overview of the report shows that “The airshed can accommodate industrial growth without significantly affecting the health of residents or the environment,” a government Powerpoint presentation says. The study focused primarily on Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrgen Diox-

ide (NO2). SO2 is the subject of an environmental permit appeal by two Kitimat residents who feel Rio Tinto Alcan’s post-modernization SO2 emissions are too high. The government study included the possibility of four liquefied natural gas terminals, a proposed oil refinery, gasturbine powered electricity generating facilities, predicted increased shipping along the Douglas Channel, and future expected increases in road and rail traffic. “We want to ensure any potential impacts from industrial air emissions are clearly understood before new projects are approved,” said Polak. As for RTA’s existing permit, the government has no plans to revisit it save for possibilities from the appeal. “We intend to see RTA operate un-

der its existing permit. The appeal will be what the appeal will be and of course we will look to the results of that if there are any changes that need to be made,” she said. “Our intent at this stage is for RTA to operate under their existing permit requirements.” Lis Stannus, one of two Kitimat appellants against the RTA permit, is pleased to see the study finally released, but at over 300 pages she said she’d need time to go over the details. Graphs from the government do show the potential for significant SO2 reductions in the event SO2 scrubbers are used by the smelter. SO2 health risks showed minor (possibly) increases in respiratory incidents of between .5 and two per cent, and risk directly related to proximity to industrial area. Continued on page 12

Grizzly killed at river campsite ... page 7

Police and COS try to locate grizzlies July 7 At 1:45 a.m. the RCMP received a report of a theft from a camper trailer adjacent to the giant spruce. The point of entry was through a rooftop vent. Items stolen include a laptop computer and fishing gear. The Kitimat RCMP recovered some of the stolen items from the home of

a local youth. Charges are pending against a 15-year-old. July 8 At 7:12 p.m. the RCMP were called to a report of some youth smoking marijuana near the wading pool on Nalabila Boulevard. An officer seized 1.8 grams of pot but no charges are pending.

July 9 At 11 p.m. an officer pulled over a vehicle on Nalabila Boulevard and discovered the 26-year-old driver intoxicated and was given a 90 day driving prohibition and a 30 day vehicle impoundment. At 11:30 p.m. a driver was reported as intoxicated. The ve-

hicle was spotted later outside the Kitimat Hotel and the driver failed a roadside screening device. The 20-yearold Prince George driver was given same penalty as above. July 11 A purse was reported stolen from a vehicle on Yukon Street. The purse was later found nearby and per-

son’s wallet with credit cards was turned in to the RCMP the next day, but $40 is missing. At 11:20 p.m. a grizzly bear and cubs were reported, having approached a tent in the area around the Giant Spruce. Conservation Officers attended but the bear could not be found.

Campfire ban in effect regionally An area including the region around Kitimat is subject to an open fire and camp fire ban, the Northwest Fire Centre announced today. The ban is to prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. The list of banned fires are: * Category 2 open fires * Category 3 open fires * campfires, as defined in the Wildfire Regulation * outdoor stoves and other portable campfire apparatuses that are not CSA or ULC approved * open fires in an outdoor stove * fireworks, tiki torches and sky lanterns This prohibition does not apply to

cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. It also does not apply to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that uses briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, with a flame height of 15 centimetres or less. The use of a portable campfire apparatus that does not meet these conditions is prohibited. This prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by a fire department. Please check with local authorities for any other restrictions before lighting a fire. The fire danger rating in the Northwest Fire Centre last week ranged from

July 12 An overturned kayak was reported between Nalabila Creek and Wedeene River. Three males located near the highway said they underestimated the current and the kayak flipped. No one was injured. At 5:30 p.m.

RCMP and the Conservation Officer Service tried locating a grizzly near the Hatchery but was not located. A vehicle struck a moose on July 12 at 10:30 p.m., 20 km north of Kitimat. Vehicle received minor damage, two occupants unharmed.

“high” to “extreme” as the weather forecast had predicted high temperatures. As Wildfire Management Branch crews and personnel face increasing fire activity from naturally occurring wildfires, it is imperative that preventable, human-caused fires do not add to that workload. Anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

Grounded The fate of the Amakusa Island, a ship which ran aground last week and is heavily listing in Prince Rupert’s outer harbour, has yet to be determined. Prince Rupert Port Authority manager of corporate communications Michael Gurney said the ship, which is loaded with 80,000 metric tonnes of coal, suffered damage to the hull that caused the vessel to take on water. “We’re not sure how much water was taken on, but the damage to the hull caused two buoyancy compartments to be compromised so the water-tight bulkheads closed to prevent water from entering the rest of the ship,” he said. “Members of the Transportation Safety Board flew in yesterday to investigate and evaluate the ship and divers have been dispatched to determine the extent of the damage to the hull. Based on that data ... whether repairs or evacuation of water will take place in situ or at one of the berths has to be decided.” While there is no time line in place for repair, Gurney said the ship “will not be travelling from Prince Rupert in its current state

Heat wave breaks records The string of hot weather in Kitimat over the past week broke some daily records. For instance on July 13 the hottest record for that day was in 1966 when temperatures peaked at 31.1C. Except now it will read 2014. The recorded high temperature for July 13 this year was 34C. By press time the forecast from the Canada Weather Office is showing cooler temperatures and some rain which will provide a relief from such hot temperatures.

Community spirit I’m beyond the point of being surprised by the generosity of Kitimatians. Just hours after the Lillooet Street fire broke out, sending crews to battle both the blaze and protect neighbouring homes from it possibly spreading, community-minded individuals put to work organizing, planning, and giving. Perhaps the first time I saw the generosity in action I might have been surprised, in a good way of course. One of my first brushes with Kitimat generosity is when the Baxter Street apartments burned down and the community piled on the donations at the Whats in Store at Nechako Centre. Among the more recent events was 2012’s terrible car accident which badly injured Bobby Weir, but which led to major outpouring of support. I still remember the massive line up of people at SuperValu’s fundraising barbecue. This latest tragedy for a Kitimat family has illuminated the town’s perpetually giving spirit. There are family friends Nicolette and Amber who immediately put together a plan for fundraising activities, culminating in a concert in early August. That comes after a bottle drive last weekend, and Two Dye For Decor being set as a makeshift donation drop off for the family. Others, like Rachel Omejc, used a crowd-funding online platform to raise nearly $5,000 in just days following the incident. Of course their efforts would halt in their tracks if they had no one supporting them. Yet with a string of donations, physical and monetarily, people as a whole appear to be backing them up. Kitimatians, it seems, hate to let one of their own linger in hard times. For myself as a reporter this has been the good part of the whole incident. It’s not enjoyable to share destruction (despite the stereotype of reporters and the “if it bleeds it leads’ cliché, community newspapers don’t really seek out those angles), yet it’s been heartwarming to see the spring of generosity that’s come forth from a family’s hard times. There’s certainly no replacement for the priceless items that may have been lost, photos and the sentimental pieces you can’t get back, but you certainly learn what else is valuable; your neighbours, your family, and your friends. When you’ve lost so much, they are the ones who’ll be rebuilding your life with you. And they hold a value no fire could destroy.

Suffering heat and spam e-mail I should be cutting what’s left of my front yard grass after my hired contractor replaced a burst water supply line under my house, leaving a giant hole filled with clay and boulders and a rocky path up the centre of my lawn to my furnace room. But it’s just too hot. So instead, I spent much of the morning reading my day’s haul of e-mail. Frankly, (maybe the heat is getting to me) by the time it was over I found I had “unsubscribed” to a many of my regular items in order to stop wasting so much of my time. I had a couple of chuckles, got fizzed a few times at some elements of government waste and wondered just exactly how gmail selects categories to place my mail. Today’s batch of e-mail consisted of 11 primary messages (at 9 a.m., that had swelled to 19 by 11 a.m.) as well as seven social reminders (Facebook, etc.) and 25 promotional (retail and business updates, some of which I subscribe to although most should be under spam, which produced only one item so far today. Simple reaction, an overworked delete key. I have to say, however, one of the most useless items of the day was the

monthly e-newsletter from Seniors. bc.ca. This is a newsletter to B.C. Seniors. Very occasionally it has something interesting in it but this particular edition, I’m sorry to say, was more typically useless, uninformative, condescending and had a content level equivalent to a crossword solution. A true waste of my time, as well as BC Liberal public employees’ time and taxpayers’ money. For Michelle Stilwell, the parliamentary secretary for seniors to the Ministry of Health, this must be a dreaded monthly chore requiring an air-headed unnecessary lecture about respect for seniors, which sadly, reeks more of disrespect due to its total lack of empathy and interest. I learned one thing; I missed intergenerational day in B.C. (thankfully, I did not know June 1 was inter-generational day) most likely because I

couldn’t wade through the inane monthly opening remarks in an earlier newsletter. But I can make up for it by making a note on my calendar that October 1 is the international day of older persons. Yuck! Even the monthly “health tip” was condescending: stay active to improve your health. Why didn’t I think of that? As was the monthly “health” recipe for fruit compote, lots of prunes and dried apricots. A great source of fibre. Still, should I really expect more than this pap in my communications with the Government of B.C. I prefer to read my monthly health services bill. I check it promptly as it seems to rise every couple of months. One other item of interest was a request to sign a petition from the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation, which states the B.C. government spent $200 million in taxes on educational services (i.e. teaching) which were not delivered in June. Thus, they say, we are all due a refund. Dividing that $200 million by 4.6 million citizens means a potential refund of $40 for every man, woman and child in B.C. For a family of four, that’s $160. Good luck with that, CTF.

Performance doesn’t matter Dear Sir, Recently I stopped by a group of six teachers on strike and holding up picket signs. I told them I live in Quebec and wanted to know about the management of teachers in B.C. I asked one of them if she was given annual performance evaluations. “I’m not sure,” she replied. “I’ll ask one of my colleagues.” Not sure. Only a government employee could give such a response. A second teacher spoke up, “New teachers are given performance evaluations. The administration can request that one be done for a teacher if there are concerns. And, a teacher can receive on if he/she makes a request for such.” I had then responded, “So you mean then that the majority of B.C. teachers do not receive formal annual performance evaluations?” Silence. I could see that the discussion was already becoming uncomfortable. “Can a teacher be fired?” I asked. “Only for a very severe act such as fraud, sexual

ReadeR’s WRite offence, etc.” I determined that teachers are almost never fired for incompetence. In our modern day and age how can this be? It is reasonably to understand that, as per private industry, at least five per cent to seven per cent of employees do not perform competently. If a student suffers from a school organization that refuses to address incompetence then the study only has two choices: to continue to suffer or to quit school. The BCTF full supports this situation. This type of policy attracts even further teacher employees who are not competent to join the system and to escape performance scrutiny. Private industry would never tolerate this type of organization culture. One would expect that the percentage of incompetence within a teaching environment is considerably higher than for non-government organizations. Most teach-

ers are nevertheless, and thankfully, hard working and capable, however they support incompetent colleagues because their encourage their BCTF to ignore non-performance. In Canada almost 38 per cent of adults pay no income tax. Another 23 per cent of folks work for the three levels of government. Together these citizens are receivers of money from taxpayers. They are entitled. Their group is growing in size and in expectations/demands for more money. The remuneration/benefits of government workers significantly exceed comparable work in private industry, where performance counts. Teachers are concerns about the effect of large class size on student academic outcomes. They do not care about the far greater negative effect of teacher incompetence.

Trafficker bust in the northwest Project EPUTCHER, a multijurisdictional police investigation has nabbed one Kitimat-area woman as well seven others in the region on alleged drug trafficking. The investigation was headed by the Prince Rupert RCMP Federal Serious and Organized Crime section (FSOC) and included RCMP detachments from Masset, Queen Charlotte City, Prince Rupert, Terrace, Kitimat, Stewart, Hazelton, Smithers and Houston. The operation began December 2013 and lasted to February 2014. The investigators have seized cocaine, crack cocaine and marijuana. Out of the eight people arrested, 14 charges have been approved. From Kitimat was Amy Dianne Wilson, 38, who has been charged on two counts of trafficking a controlled substance. She’ll make her first appearance in court in August. The others arrested in connection to this investigation is Terrace’s Clive Douglas Evans, Hazelton’s Susan Lynn Muldon, Smithers’ Brandon William Meisner, and Prince Rupert’s Norman Edward White, Timothy Thomas Taylor, Oliver Wilfred Stewart, and Richard

Philip Trodd. “The project was highly successful and resulted in a significant disruption in illegal drug trafficking activities at the street level in Northwestern B.C. communities,” said Prince Rupert FSOC Sgt. Dave Uppal in a media release. “Illegal drug use and the violence that surrounds their distribution do devastating damage to our communities, and this Federal and Serious Organized Crime enforcement effort is an important contribution to the enhancement of Public Safety here in B.C.” Kitimat Staff Sergeant Phil Harrison said Wilson wasn’t a “major player” in the drug trade in Kitimat but of course big enough to warrant police attention. “As resources become available, more projects such as EPUTCHER will be launched,” said Harrison. “Citizens of Kitimat can be confident that police are targeting those involved in the drug trade in Kitimat. Police say they still seek public information about drug trafficking activities and people can report those incidents to the local RCMP detachment (In Kitimat: 250-6327111) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, July 23, 2014 5

Four words that mean the difference Luke 7:48, “And Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” Can four words change your life? They sure can. How about “Will you marry me;” or maybe, “You are being audited;” or how about, “Yes you are pregnant.”? These phrases are big life changers for sure, but there are four words spoken by Jesus Christ that are more important, “Your sins are forgiven.” These are the four most important words you will ever hear. Why do I say that? I say that because, even though you may not recognize it, forgiveness is your greatest need. Ever since our first parents walked away from God’s perfect provision in the Garden of Eden, human beings have been born in sin. Because sin entered the world, so did sickness, suffering and death. Getting a new house or car or receiving an unexpected cheque in the mail are nice things that can make us happy for a while, but they don’t address our greatest problem, which is separation from God. Whether you realize it or not, the greatest desire of your heart is to be reunited with the God who created you, who loves you, and sent His Son to die for you so that it might be possible to be back in a right relationship with Him. But in order for that to happen, the sin issue needs to be dealt with. You see, God and sin are polar opposites and cannot be mixed together. And so I would ask you the question, how much sin do you think you need in your life in order to be called a sinner? The Bible says in Romans 3:23, “For all

From the Pulpit Redeemer Lutheran Church From the Pulpit Redeemer Lutheran Church

Pastor Clint Magnus have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” It doesn’t matter if you fall a bit short or a bunch short, short is still short. And so we find ourselves in a bit of a dilemma. If I cannot save myself, if I cannot do enough good to erase the bad or buy God’s favour, then how can I be forgiven and saved? It has been said that if our greatest need was more money then God would have sent us a bank manager; if our greatest need was good governance then God would have sent us a politician, but our greatest need is forgiveness, and so God sent us a Savior. God the Son came to this world to deal with the sin issue. He took on our skin and lived a perfect life free of sin (because we can’t), and then gave His sinless life on the cross as our substitute so that all who repent of their sin and believe on Him as their Lord and Savior will be forgiven and saved for all eternity. “Your sins are forgiven.” What powerful words those are. They mean that you have been pardoned and your debt to God has been cancelled. This is God’s free gift to all who would receive it in faith. The price has been paid and God’s forgiveness is available to you today. Won’t you please receive those four words in Christ that are your greatest need, “Your sins are forgiven.”? Amen.

Grizzly bear killed after prowling riverside camp site Although the camper himself denies a trash-laden campsite along the Kitimat River, the Kitimat RCMP meanwhile are standing behind their claims that the site where a grizzly was killed last week was strewn with bear attractants. The Kitimat RCMP were forced to kill a grizzly bear when it was found trying to rumme through a tent. Police were called July 15 on the bear complaint near the Pollution Control Centre off of the Lower Dyke Road. Police found a lone grizzly attempting to get in to a tent. Police say they attempted to frighten the bear away but “it appeared that the bear was human food habituated and goal oriented in to getting in to the tent.” The campsite, police said, was “littered with human food, garbage, and fish guts.” Police say a dog tied up within two feet of the bear was barking and growling but was also not affecting the bear. The RCMP and the Kitimat Bear Aware program are urging people to cut down on odours by keeping a garbage free campsite, throw fish guts in to the water after cleaning and ensuring all food and fish are away from your tent. Police say that feeding bears, even unintentionally, is against the law as per the Dangerous Wildlife Protection Act. Meanwhile Kitimat RCMP Cpl. Chris Manseau said last week the location of the camp has been forwarded to the Con-

servation Officer Service, however charges are not actively being pursued at this time as “the site owner wasn’t positively identified.” Since the Senti-

“I know the dos and don’ts, ins and outs about bears. I taught the course in schools, for kids...there’s no way I would be leaving garbage,” he said.

nel first published this article online the person claiming the site as his, Reynold Nyce, said it’s not true that his site was covered in garbage.

Nyce said he can’t control people who might come down to that area to party while he’s not there but he keeps his own area tidy.

“When you’re experienced like me, you know these are no-nos in the bush,” When asked to reply, the Cpl Manseau said “I stand by exactly

what I said,” about the original media release. Grizzlies have been spotted in numerous places in town over the past several weeks.

Miss Kitimat missed Kitimat Cameron Orr An 18-year-old Edna Webb looking to establish herself in her new muddy home of Kitimat, BC — a town on the edges of B.C.’s frontier — became 1955’s Miss Kitimat, and later Miss PNE. It was a notable claim to fame for her and her family, who had just moved to Kiitmat on April 8, 1955. It was probably the first memorable moment of her two-year stint in the community, followed by nearly gliding her car in to the Douglas Channel next to the Delta King. We’ll come back to that later. Back to Miss Kitimat, she was encouraged to apply by her them-employer, Kitimat Concrete. “I worked for Kitimat Concrete, my family had just moved here and they wanted me to run for Miss Kitimat.” she said. “I had only moved here and I thought ‘Oh my goodness, I might get fired if I don’t agree to it.’” She ended up getting the most votes, but she didn’t immediately get the crown. She said there were some backroom dealings ensuring the original winner, but the official word from an advertisement in the July 14, 1955 Northern Sentinel was confusion over eligibility. Webb had been a Miss Frazerview in the past so the ad as printed expressed confusion over elgibility. Whatever actually played out behind the scenes of the 1955 Miss Kitimat competition, whether misunderstanding or bribery, Webb would eventually be given her crown. “I was crowned later, which wasn’t as nice because I was just taken to a room and crowned, and that was it.” She was flown to Vancouver for that year’s PNE and earned the Miss PNE title there too, which she tied with Miss Nanaimo. Unfortunately for Webb the prize money, $1,000, was given to Miss Nanaimo, as organizers

felt she needed it more due to her mother being in a wheelchair. At least she came back to Kitimat a winner. It was when she came back that she caught the eye of a local RCMP officer. At least she did when her family parked their car in a no-parking zone. “All we had in Kitimat was Helen’s Cafe, the Kitimat Hotel and the chip truck,” she said. “We had nothing to do so the big thing was to go get a side of fries.” Her mom parked her car and two officers soon approached to write a ticket for being in a no-parking zone. “I go so nervous when he said that, when I got the chips I gave it to them and we drove off,” she said. “That’s how I met my husband.” Young love can prove distracting. She said some time later she was doing a bank run for her boss and as she left she noticed two officers — one of them the one she fancied — and decided to go back inside. “So I pulled back up and I didn’t put the emergency brake on, so when I came out of the bank, the car had rolled down and across the street and was just about in the drink. A taxi driver came along and stopped it.” Webb had a notable time in Kitimat. After working for Kitimat Concrete she worked at the hospital and then later was the RCMP matron, escorting prisoners by plane to Vancouver. Kitimat was a different place then, even the theatre hadn’t quite arrived. “My Saturday night entertainment was to sit down at the hotel and watch the drunks come out and get picked up,” she said. Today’s Kitimat is almost unrecognizable to her. She said driving around earlier in the day she even got lost. “You’ve got so many new streets, so many new houses,” she said. “It’s just totally different.” But she said it was wonderful to come back to

Edna Webb, one of Kitimat’s early Miss Kitimat’s, returned to her former home recently and was welcomed at the Kitimat Seniors Centre for a tea in her honour. Cameron Orr see how the town has changed since the last time she’d been back, 1958. “When we arrived on April 8, 1955, with my mom and my siblings, my mom was really happy that my dad had brought her up here. And I looked at my brother when we pulled in to Kitimat and all there was mud and snow and rain and sleet. It was really dark and gloomy. I looked at my brother — we both left good jobs — and he just looked

at me, and said ‘Oh Edna, my God, what have we done?’ I said ‘Lets just shut up, we’re here for mom.’” Two of her brothers didn’t even want to get off the boat. But they nevertheless learned to love Kitimat anyway. “We fell in love with the place because we were the pioneers. I can’t explain to you, there was nothing. There was one road, up to Nechako.”

Lumber, pellet mills still have dust problems Tom Fletcher Sawmills have improved their control of combustible dust, but noncompliant wood product manufactures are still being found by steppedup inspections since two fatal explosions in northern B.C. in 2012. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond has promised to implement all recommendations of a new report recommending continued inspections and penalties for mills, and a separate investigative unit for WorkSafeBC that will seek prosecutions for unsafe conditions. Bond released the report last week, showing that sawmill compliance with dust control standards has gone from 58 per cent to 84 per cent in the latest round of inspections. Inspections of 15 pellet mills, pressboard and oriented strand board manufacturers showed they are still lagging behind. “Their 40 per cent compliance rate was a disappointment, especially in the wake of all that’s been said and done to this point,” Bond said. The B.C. industry has hired five independent advisors to help mills comply with WorkSafeBC health and safety rules, and the Council of Forest Industries has agreed to make membership in the outside audit pro-

gram a condition of membership in the industry group. Two workers died and 20 others were injured when an explosion and fire tore through the Babine Forest Products sawmill in Burns Lake on Jan. 20, 2012. On April 23, a similar explosion killed two workers and injured 22 more at Lakeland Mills in Prince George. Babine Forest Products has appealed fines totalling more than $1 million imposed by WorkSafeBC. Crown prosecutors declined to charge companies and individuals in the two mill incidents, saying some evidence from the WorkSafeBC investigation may not be admissible in court. Prosecutors also concluded that mill operators would likely be acquitted using a “due diligence” defence. Bond said WorkSafeBC investigators will be reorganized into two teams as a result of the sawmill findings. “It means that the moment they sense that an investigation may move from looking for the cause of an incident to the potential for prosecution, that the initial team would stop their work,” Bond said. “A completely separate unit would begin the work again with an eye to a successful prosecution.”

B.C. government ends fiscal year in surplus Tom Fletcher The B.C. government finished the fiscal year in March with a surplus of $353 million by keeping overall spending growth below one per cent, according to audited public accounts released Tuesday. It’s the first official surplus budget for B.C. since the 2008-09 recession, and a bigger surplus than what was promised by the B.C. Liberal government in last year’s election campaign. Total program spending increased

only 0.4% during the year, which Finance Minister Mike de Jong credited mainly to a hiring freeze and restrictions on discretionary spending in ministries. Health care spending rose $360 million over the previous year, which was more than $500 million lower than the forecast in the government’s post-election budget. Education spending was up $299 million, while spending in natural resource ministries fell $337 million. The province stayed in the black despite taxation revenues coming in $402

million less than the budget forecast. Natural resource revenues to the province exceeded forecasts by $109 million. NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth said the surplus budget was achieved “by picking the pockets of hard-working British Columbians” with higher fees and increases to BC Hydro, ICBC and other rates. Farnworth said the public accounts show B.C. residents are paying an extra $300 million a year in fees and licences, not counting the latest increases to BC Hydro and Medical Services Plan rates.

De Jong noted that the province’s total debt continues to rise, topping $60.8 billion including debt of BC Hydro and other Crown agencies. “We are borrowing to build instead of paying for the groceries,” de Jong said of the additional debt, which includes $3.2 billion for schools, highways, transit and hospitals. B.C.’s debt stands at 18.2% of gross domestic product, about half of the level of Ontario and the federal government’s debt-to-GDP ratio.

public hearing 28 july 2014 R3-A1, 1851 Kingfisher, Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1852, 2014

What:

A public hearing will be held on Monday 28 July at 7:30 pm at Council Chambers, 606 Mountainview Square to consider ‘R3-A1, 1851 Kingfisher, Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1852, 2014.’

What changes?

Kingfisher Development Corporation has submitted an application for Council to consider the following amendments to the R3-A1 Zone: increase maximum lot coverage from 25% to 35%; increase maximum floor area ratio (FAR) from 0.5 to 0.72; decrease in the minimum distance between buildings from 9 metres to 3.5 metres; and increase from 40 to 54 permitted units. Council is considering ‘R3-A1 1851 Kingfisher, Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1852, 2014.’ This bylaw would enable development of an eight building, 54-unit townhouse complex. The bylaw would also replace a Land Use Contract which had governed development of the property. The applicant will provide over 6 acres of land to be designated park, and will contribute up to $70,000 towards Kitimat’s Affordable Housing Fund. Final design and siting of buildings will be determined through a Development Permit Application.

Get some Shakespeare Submitted Twelfth Night, a comedy by William Shakespeare, where a girl dressed as a boy falls madly in love with her boss, the Duke. Where this same girl still dressed as a boy becomes the love object of the woman the Duke is pursuing. And then there is the

twin brother. Oh brother, confusion and catastrophe. After all, Twelfth Night is when nothing is what it seems and fools rule. Last time, Lis Stannus and Tina Watchorn took you to the magical world of A Midsummer Night’s Dream for their drama camp. Come with them

this summer into the topsy-turvy world of Twelfth Night. From August 5 to 8 and August 11 to 15, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Presbyterian Church. The showtime will be on August 16 at 2 p.m. Sign up or get more details at the Kitimat Museum & Archives.

Where is it?

No imposed settlement Tom Fletcher The B.C. Teachers’ Federation had better not expect an imposed settlement to keep the beginning of the school year from being disrupted, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said last Tuesday. Every other sector of the public service has been able to find agreements within the government’s balanced budget mandate, but the teachers’ union might be expecting a legislated settlement as has taken place in the past, de Jong said as he presented the public accounts that show B.C.’s budget balanced as of this spring. “You cannot send negotiators into a bargaining session with other public sector workers, hammer out agreements that include very modest settlements, and then because another group decides to make a little more noise, provide more, because you are taking from one group in order to satisfy the demands of another within the context of a balanced budget,” de Jong said. The BCTF strike for the last two weeks of

June saved the provincial treasury about $12 million a day, while year-end studies and exams were disrupted. The two sides haven’t communicated since early July, when B.C. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher said they are too far apart for mediation to be effective. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the BCTF has to reduce its demands, in particular improved benefits he said represent an additional $225 million a year. Those include increases to preparation time, pregnancy and parental leave, extended health and dental care and substitute teacher compensation. De Jong said the lesson of imposing settlements is that they haven’t worked. “Every other sector of the public service is able to negotiate an agreement,” he said. “What is it about this one area, and is it the expectation that the government will step up and simply legislate an agreement? I hope that’s not the expectation, because that’s not the plan.”

Terrace team has some Kitimat aces up sleeve Submitted A primarily Terrace-based U16 girls soccer team actually has a few Kitimat aces up their sleeve. U16 coach Sean

Bujtas said that two Kitimat players, midfielder Paige Payne and striker Jewel Hall, contribute a lot to the teams success. “These two girls

are a big part of our team and probably go a bit unnoticed as they play on a Terrace team,” he said via e-mail. In the photo, Hall is in the front row, fourth

from the right, and Payne is third from the right in the front row. The team recently returned from provincials in Chilliwack where they played in

four games and earned a bronze medal. In game one against Kelowna the U16 team started strong with two goal by striker Jenna Hoo-

rnenborg in the first 10 minutes but Kelowna responded 45 seconds after the second goal to keep the game 2-1 at the half. U16 got two quick goals by striker Jewel Hall and attacking midfielder Paige Payne. Kelowna responded one more time before strong defending from Anke deWit, Ashlee Wojnarowski, Their final match put the team against the Squamish Fireballs U16 controlled most of the game but could not find the back of the Squamish net.

Sound defending with the help of defending midfielder Deb Wraight kept Squamish away from the Terrace goal. At the 77th minute of a 80 minute game the Northwest team finally broke the tie with a corner kick sent in by Paige Payne that Jenna Hoorenborg smashed in the back of the net scoring her fourth goal of the tournament. The U16 girls went down to one striker and added another defending midfielder to close out the game to seal the Bronze medal.

The Terrace U16 girls soccer team actually has a couple Kitimat players and the two give a lot of value to the team, says head coach Sean Bujtas, who contacted the Sentinel wanting to make sure the players, Jewel Hall and Paige Payne, got the recognition they deserve.

Airshed Continued from page 1 The study area for the assessment included “near” areas of Kitimat industrial area service centre, Kitimat, and Kitamaat Village. “Far” areas included Terrace, Gitga’at Old Town, Hartley Bay and the Kitimat-Stikine regional district. “We’re glad that government’s done the right thing by releasing the report,” said Lis Stannus. “I just hope the B.C. government remembers to put people first here and not industry. Because that’s the job of government, to look after it’s people.” Rio Tinto Alcan did not have any specific comment on the release of the report but the company did say they’ve received assurances from the ministry of envi-

ronmental that the report “validates the environment and health findings of Rio Tinto Alcan’s SO2 Technical Assessment Report,” and that the ministry maintains support of the emissions permit. Among the report’s other findings are conclusions that NO2 environmental impacts are low, and that there are some increased risk of soil impacts from SO2, but no negative impacts to vegetation across all emission scenarios (low to high). There is potential for acidification of seven lakes, which were not specifically named but are part of the RTA Environmental Effects Monitoring Program. Lakelse Lake, however, was noted during technical briefings as at low risk of acidification.
