RTA planning terminal expansion With Rio Tinto Alcan having offered up their Terminal B wharf to LNG Canada for their purposes, RTA now turns to expanding their Terminal A to meet demands. The company held an open house last Thursday evening that provided an overview of their proposal, which they hope can begin construction in late 2015, once all their permits are in place. The new terminal will basically lengthen their existing terminal outwards, reaching directly across from Hospital Beach. Vice-president of Business Development and Strategic Projects Paul Henning, who guided open house visitors through the proposal, said that there is potential for short-term closures of Hospital Beach over this time, although the reason would be heavy industrial traffic on the road, rather than construction on the water. That said, the company is looking for a “long term” solution for Hospital Beach. When asked by the Sentinel if there was existing RTA land that could serve as a potential replacement for Hospital Beach he cautiously offered up an area at Minette Bay as a possibility, but he didn’t want to hype that option up too much at this stage. “We think that from a recreational perspective it could be a nice balance,” said Henning. “If I had a hesitation in saying that, it’s because it’s not instant, it’s not something we can pull up to this afternoon and it’s ready to go.” He said that it does hold potential for a longterm plan but he also said it could not work out there. “We hear the community loud and clear about [how] it’s the only coastal community without its own waterfront access. We’d like to be part of that solution,” he added. The construction of Terminal A’s expansion will be Shell Canada supported he said, but managed by Rio Tinto. “We call it the replacement infrastructure project,” he said. With an anticipation of receiving required permits by 2015, he hopes work begins in earnest late that year, with the bulk of the project completed in 2016 for a 2017 launch date. The new terminal would allow two Handymax vessels (which are 46,500 dead weight tonnes), which maintains the capacity the smelter had between uses of Terminal A and B. The anticipated 2017 start up date will coincide well with other projects in the area, said Henning. “That’s nice because really the LNG facility will then be in construction and we’ll be stabilized as a smelter operation and be able to get out of that [wharf] and allow LNG Canada to move on.”

Civilian overseer stops in Kitimat Cameron Orr Presentations introducing communities to the Independent Investigations Office of BC were held across the northwest recently. Investigators were in Kitimat last Thursday speaking to interested community members explaining the history and the role of the organization, which is an independent investigator of police incidents involving serious harm or death. The group is coming up to their second year in operation and came about from recommendations following some high profile police cases, including the death of Robert Dziekanski at the Vancouver International Airport in 2007. The IIOBC is funded through the Ministry of Justice but investigators do not report to the government with their findings and so operate at a distance from judicial influence. “Any decisions as to the conduct of files and how they’re determined is strictly within the purview of the chief civilian director,” said Senior Investigator Ralph Krenz. “So his decision making is independent from government because he doesn’t have to clear it through any other channels.” Krenz says the IIOBC has essentially two options when it concludes an investigation, either exonerate the officers involved, or pass the report to Crown counsel for possible prosecution.
That said, there is a very low threshold for sending to Crown. So if the IIOBC thinks it is possible a crime may have been committed it will hand it to the Crown, but the Crown has a higher standard of determining if a case should go to trial. “If we do find that there was any criminality associated to the action then we would forward a report to the Crown counsel for their determination.” He said about 65 per cent of their files occur in the Lower Mainland, with the rest spread around all of B.C. With it not quite being two years old, the organization can’t put a pin on any particular trends. “It’s just too early in the day to come up with any trends or analysis of that type,” he said. “We’ll probably need about five years worth of data...There’s nothing at this point in time that would suggest any kind of trends.” At the end of the last fiscal year of March 31, 2014, the IIOBC received 223 notifications from police for possible incidents. From that they declined 105 as not falling under their scope. Sixty of those files had an initial investigation where it was later found an incident was not under their mandate. About 25 per cent of cases did get a complete investigation. Continued on page 11

Grizzly bear spotted at high school July 28 A four vehicle collision on Haisla Bridge resulted when one vehicle triggered a three vehicle rear-ender. Two drivers were injured and taken to the hospital. The driver of the first vehicle was given a ticket for driving without consideration.

Police Beat CRF-450X. July 30 At 7:30 a.m., a vehicle stop on Kuldo Boulevard revealed a driver who had previously been prohibited. The 25-year-old Kitimat man is set to appear in provincial court in October, and the vehicle was impounded for seven days. July 31 At 8:15 a.m. the
RCMP received a complaint of an erratic driver on Kitamaat Village Road. A subsequent pull-over found the driver was impaired. The 27-yearold Kitamaat Village man received a 90-day roadside prohibition and a 30 day vehicle impoundment. At 9:40 p.m. a young grizzly bear was reported seen on the grounds of Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School. The bear was seen by officers, before it ran towards
Smith Street, then on to the green belt towards Meldrum Street. BC Conservation Officer Service were notified. August 1 A break and enter was reported at the shack at the Kitimat Refuse Centre. The front door was kicked in and three Dewalt drills were reported stolen. A stolen red Yamaha Kodiak quad was reported stolen from a car port on Tweedsmuir Street. A District of Kiti-

Austin posted to economic development Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin likes his new job of watching over northern economic development. “We’re not just critics anymore. We’re spokespersons,” said Austin of the assignment given him by provincial opposition leader John Horgan. “It means if we don’t like something, we say so. And if we do like something, then we can encourage its development.” Austin, who had been his party’s
critic for liquefied natural gas (LNG) development, was given the new assignment last month by Horgan as part of a complete shuffle of how the latter wanted his caucus to keep an eye on the provincial Liberal government. Austin said his new job of watching over northern economic development is a recognition that there are many issues surrounding the economy and that it is not based on any one industry. “An economy is complicated. One
industry will be up while another is down. You need a broad-based approach [for] job opportunities,” he said. “Christy Clark is basing her government on the dream of LNG. She seems to think she alone can bring this about but she really can’t.” Austin said the time the province has spent on LNG development has reduced its ability to work with other industries such as mining.

Regional briefs Surveys
Several crews from Coastal GasLink Pipeline were in Houston last week with trucks and ATVs doing surveys. TransCanada spokesperson Shawn Howard says they were “conducting non-intrusive environmental field studies.” “This environmental survey work allows us to properly understand the wildlife, cultural, traditional and habitat of the areas along the pipeline route so that we can develop plans in a thoughtful and respectful manner,” he said. “The work we are doing is in areas where we have permission to do so and people are aware in advance that these environmental surveys will be taking place.” Coastal GasLink is a natural gas pipeline proposed to run 650 kilometres from Dawson Creek to the proposed LNG Canada facility in Kitimat. It is working to get the required approval from government and the environmental review that started in January, 2014, according to website. Pending all the approvals, Coastal GasLink plans to start construction in 2015.

An overnight blockade on August 5 was held on CN Rail tracks, and concluded in the morning on August 6.

Strawberry Meadows zoning changes almost all approved A zoning amendment for the Strawberry Meadows area will reduce the number of agricultural zones in the area, but won’t outright prevent any agricultural business from opening in the area. The proposal calls for three lots that are currently C10 Commercial Agriculture to move to G3-A Rural Residential. It also calls for three other lots to move from G3-B Strawberry Meadows to G3-C Residential. The lots are located near the intersection of Dewberry and Loganberry Avenue. No public comments were
received by the public hearing date last Monday. The C10 Commercial Agriculture allows primary uses such as greenhouses, nurserys, veterinary offices or hospitals. The G3-C Residential zone allows a detached residence with no more than two dwelling units. Accessory uses can include bed and breakfasts, child day care and agriculture, depending on where it specifically is located in relation to other zones. The G3-B Strawberry Meadows zone is largely the same as the G3-C, except some secondary uses such as bed and

breakfasts were not allowed. District Planner Daniel Martin says when Strawberry Meadows was first conceived it was almost entirely zoned G3-B Strawberry Meadows with the exception of the agricultural zones, envisioned for farms or veterinarian offices. Some of the original C10 Agricultural zone has already been rezoned as part of the PTI Group development. Council approved second and third reading on August 5. The Advisory Planning Commission also endorsed the application.
Paving way to Peace Day Cameron Orr A pair of requests to Kitimat Council are paving the way to September’s annual Peace Day celebrations. The first was a request for a $270 grant to the Kitimat Rotary Club’s Peace Day program which would go towards rental of the Riverlodge gymnasium on September 21. The event, accord-
ing to the document to council, would include a flash mob for elementary school students, a children’s choir with Susie Smeader and her band, the sixth annual human peace sign and guest speakers, among other events. The grant request doesn’t technically meet council’s criteria although the council has supported Peace
Day for four years in the form of grants. Council did approve the request, as well as a second request from Peace organizers for council to officially proclaim International Day of Peace in September and for the town to re-affirm the Peace Community Proclamation to be stated by all council members
No serious injuries in apartment fire, so far there is no cause found One person was taken to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation after an apartment unit caught fire shortly before midnight on August 4. Fire Chief Trent Bossence said firefighters were called at 11:30 p.m. on August 4 to a small apartment unit at 1454 Nalabila Boulevard and found a lower level unit fully engulfed in flames, which had spread to the unit directly upstairs. “We managed to keep it just to
those two units,” he said, noting there will likely be some smoke damage and smell to adjacent units but doesn’t expect any contents were lost. Ten firefighters with two engines and the ladder truck attended to the fire. The investigation is still in the early stages and Bossence said he was expecting specialized fire inspectors to arrive on Monday to aid in the investigation.

PUBLIC HEARING AUG 18, 2014 Riverbrook Estates Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1854, 2014
What: A public hearing will be held on Monday, August 18 at 7:30pm at Council Chambers, 606 Mountainview Square to consider ‘Riverbrook Estates, Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1854, 2014.’ What changes? Riverbrook Estates Ltd. has submitted an application for Council to rezone two portions of the R1-B Zone to R3-A – Multi-Family Residential to allow the construction of two townhouse complexes. This application would also see decreased minimum lot area and frontage, and increased lot coverage in the R3-A Zone to allow up to 101 townhouse units in the two complexes. Riverbrook Estates Ltd. has also asked to rezone two portions of the R1-B Zone to a new R3-C – Apartment Zone to allow the construction of two apartment buildings, each containing up to 50 units. Sixteen single-family homes make up the balance of this proposed development, for a total of up to 217 housing units. Council is considering ‘Riverbrook Estates, Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1854, 2014’ and is seeking your input on these proposed changes. Where is it?
Worries over potential overbuild A Kitimat resident wrote to council expressing concern over the potential of overbuilding in Kitimat. The letter arrived in the July 28 Committee of the Whole meeting, the same date as a public hearing for a rezoning application for a townhouse development on Kingfisher Avenue. The letter from Jim Hepting reads that when the construction boom in Kitimat is over “we are going to be left with many more dwellings than we’ve ever had and fewer jobs than we had at our peak.” While it’s fine for people who will sell and get out before the boom is over, he writes, the people who want to stay behind will see a drastically lower property value.
“It is fine for the big companies to say they will build all the housing they need in town and thereby won’t cause a housing shortage, but when they are gone we are the ones who will pay the price in an oversupplied housing market.” He asks in the letter for council to do some “serious number crunching” to see what the housing situation will be like in the future. “I don’t expect prices to stay high forever, but I also don’t want to see them drop to the lows (or even lower) that we’ve seen in the past. Please do not allow an overbuild of housing in Kitimat.” Councillors didn’t speak to the letter at the meeting but received it for information.
When can I speak? Anyone wishing to comment on this issue may provide written comment to Mayor and Council c/o 270 City Centre, V8C 2H7; fax 250-632-4995; or email to dok@kitimat.ca. Comments regarding the proposed rezoning must be received before 8:30 am on August 14, 2014 to be included in the report to Mayor and Council. Submissions received by email after this deadline but before 4:30pm on Monday, August 28, 2014 will be read before Council at the Public Hearing. You may also speak in person, or deliver written comment, at the Public Hearing held Monday, August 28, 2014 at 7:30pm at Council Chambers, 606 Mountainview Square. Need more info? A Public Information Meeting will be held at Riverloge from 6:30 to 8:00pm Wednesday, August 6. The bylaw, Council resolution, staff report, submitted application, and other background material are available for review at www.kitimat.ca/pn and at the District of Kitimat reception desk, 270 City Centre, 8:30 am to noon and 1:00 to 4:30pm, Monday to Friday, excluding holidays. Further inquiries should be directed to Community Planning and Development at 250-632-8910.

He was only just in
As a small town journalist I’m sometimes taken aback when I feel my community is not getting the attention it deserves. In the past I’ve taken politicians to task over seemingly ignoring the District of Kitimat during tours or announcements. (Anyone remember the federal government promising to make Kitimat a public port, with very little if any notice given to the District themselves?) Given all that, I’m torn on these most recent events. Last Wednesday, I began seeing these Twitter messages attached to my permanent “Kitimat” keyword stream, basically giving kudos to Justin Trudeau, the federal Liberal party leader, for engaging with coastal communities, ‘hashtagging’ the messages with Hartley Bay and Kitimat. I sent a message to a Liberal media line asking for clarification if the leader was indeed in town. As of this writing I still have no response. I even Tweeted back to those posting about this, asking what the deal was. No answer. (A lot of the messages online were written exactly the same, so likely very little human touch on the other end, anyway.) Finally on Thursday morning fellow Kitimat journalist Robin Rowland alerts me to the Flickr page of Trudeau. Flickr is a photo sharing service, and there’s a photo of Trudeau with our mayor, Joanne Monaghan. I can’t fault not getting an alert through our District, as it’s not really their place to announce when visiting guests are in town. I’m quite surprised that the Liberal Party of Canada didn’t see fit to make some sort of media appearance though, during his stop here and at Kitamaat Village. As it is, I have no word from Trudeau himself on who he met, or what his purpose was. It’s just a bizarre series of events. His visit was only vaguely referred to on social media, yet there was no media availability, which is usually typical. As I referred to, I’m torn. Trudeau clearly did make time to meet the District of Kitimat leadership so the community was not snubbed in that sense. But from the perspective of the press, it was a poorly kept secret visit that left no time for questions or answers. It’s a treatment I’d be surprised to find handed to the ‘big media’ in Vancouver. We’re a small town paper, for sure, but we’re the community paper, and community papers, I think, are far more important to the communities they serve than the big dailies. The Liberals missed a chance to increase their local exposure. From my perspective, it’s a disappointing snub. Cameron Orr
Effects of uncertainty can be felt The start of August is usually a time of decent weather in Kitimat, and again it was a welcome week for gardeners and people trying to get some outdoor projects either started or finished. For me it’s “finish” but I’ve got a sizeable list of unfinished work to do, that is unfortunately accompanied by a formidable lack of energy and ambition to “git ‘er done.” Maybe this is simply age-related but I have a stronger feeling it’s just a predictable reaction to permitting that “little list” to bulk up into something more intimidating. I still take time however to walk and drive around town. I am still amazed at the volume of commercial and residential construction and renovation that is evident. “For sale” signs again seem to be proliferating, although I think I see a tendency for sellers to start off with “for sale, privately” efforts, but too quickly seek a real estate agent’s aid if the much talked about “speedy sale” scenario doesn’t come about. I suspect we may be seeing some hesitation entering the local real estate market as people keep a wary eye of the news and don’t like the implication of high profile changes like

Apache pulling out of Kitimat LNG, or the proliferation of smaller but lesscontested projects entering the overall LNG picture both on the west coast of the U.S. and elsewhere in B.C. A lot of the hesitation and a slow down in outside investment definitely followed the non-binding Enbridge plebiscite in Kitimat. Add to that the events in Gitxsan Wet’suet’en and Unist’ot’en territories, near Smithers, where masked aboriginals have been videotaping and publicizing their actions in “evicting” pipeline reps from the territories. This seems to me to be self-serving to make a statement about “consent” or “our share of the earnings,” but there’s a ready media for this protestation. Not just Northern Gateway oil pipeline people, but any kind of pipeline representative appears to be unwelcome in that area of central northern B.C. where so many of the future
LNG plans are pencilled in to make crossing. This ties in to FN leaders who have clearly taken encouragement from the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision on aboriginal title. However, there are still numerous First Nations in other areas involved in various projects at differing levels, demonstrating a divisive approach, as many aboriginal groups see beneficial roles for themselves in LNG. The introduction of Bill C-27, the First Nations Transparency Act, shows signs of kicking back on the Federal government coming up with only a few bad examples of tribal chiefs bending or breaking the rules with taxpayers’ dollars, although in Coquitlam where an elected chief took home $914,000 in 2013 did open many eyes and create a bit of a furore. However First Nations response to the feds’ deadline was underwhelming and we’ll have to see how the DIA deals with non-compliance. All of this, as well as the endless debate on who is leading in the LNG race to supply the Far East - B.C. or American companies - does help to create more uncertainties. Continued on page 5

Worry is a great drain that gets us nowhere Matthew 10:29; (Jesus said), “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your father. But even the hairs of your head are numbered. Fear not then, you are more valuable than sparrows. A business man went on a holiday to Greece and one day he went down to the beach where he came upon a Greek fisherman having a nap in his boat. The business man was annoyed at this and so he woke the fisherman up and asked him why he was napping in the middle of the day. The

It uses up all your energy and doesn’t get you anywhere. Yet, we worry don’t we? We worry about our bank accounts, we worry about our families, we worry about our health, about how we look, and if there isn’t anything to worry about we find something. So why is it that we worry so much? Well, it hasn’t always been that way. When God created our first parents they didn’t worry about anything. They walked and talked with God and trusted Him in childlike faith to provide everything for them. It was when they rebelled against God and sought

to do it “their way” that worry began in the human race; because we know that our efforts are flawed and not good enough. But you see, God loves us as His creation and ever since that time He has called us back to Himself through faith, through trust in him to provide for us now and forever. And to do this He sent His Son Jesus Christ into the world to pay the debt of our rebellion on the cross and then raised Him in victory from the grave, so that we might be forgiven and reconciled back to Him through repentance and faith.

Uncertainty Continued from page 4 The emergence of hedge fund outfits like Jana Partners, a group of activist investors, which bought in to Apache Corporation in a big way and promptly persuaded the company to withdraw from its role in Kitimat LNG, smacks of protectionism for US-based gas projects where production and supply much exceeds demand. It’s encouraging then that Chevron quickly stated it wasn’t “concerned” about the Apache situation and would take over the principal role Apache was carrying out and
would seek a new partner, pronto! They are a sufficiently diverse and international operation, so this seems very possible. It’s also good to note that the fast-track, quick-money objectives of such hedge fund type activist investors has not been heeded by all companies they have pressured, on the basis that these types of investors are not as knowledgeable as they would like everyone to think, about the long-term sustainability of the industries they try to influence. Again we’ll all have to wait and see.

If even a sparrow cannot fall from the sky without escaping the Father’s notice, if God knows how many hairs I still have on my head after my morning shower, then I can face the day in full confidence knowing that I can trust Him to provide me with all
that I need both now and forever. So don’t worry, instead, trust in the Lord. In Jesus Christ He has given us the one provision that we never have to worry about. For even if all our possessions and even life itself be lost, nothing can take away the eternal life that is ours through faith in Jesus Christ: Not now, not ever. Amen.

Province defends its switch of water bombers
Jeff Nagel The provincial government is defending its unpopular decision to halt B.C.’s use of the veteran Martin Mars water bombers in favour of newer aircraft to fight wildfires. The B.C. Wildfire Management Branch responded as campaigners closed in on a target of 20,000 signatures on a petition urging the premier to reinstate the 1940s-era amphibious plane. Organizer Chris Alemany plans to deliver the petition in late July to Christy Clark’s constituency office in West Kelowna, where residents had been under evacuation order from the Smith Creek wildfire. Critics argue the province is spending more money to get less firefighting service than it had with the famous Martin Mars planes. B.C. instead has contracted the use of four Air Tractor “Fire Boss” water-scooping amphibious planes from the Conair Group of Abbotsford for $2.5 million per season. The much smaller aircraft are more flexible because they can operate from more than 1,700 lakes compared to just 113 with the Mars. The new planes can also drop water, foam or retardant on a fire, with an ability to deliver 3,025 litres on a seven-minute turnaround, compared to 19,000 litres with the Mars on a 19-minute round trip. The branch said in statement the new Fire Bosses delivered fire suppressant twice as fast during the recent West Kelowna fire –
586,000 litres in 11.3 hours – as the Martin Mars dropped during the 2003 Kelowna fire. “Over the past six weeks, the new Fire Boss aircraft have actioned more fires than
the Martin Mars did in six years.” Today there’s only one Martin Mars left in the province, owned by the Coulson Group on Vancouver Island. According to the
province, it offered the firm an “as when needed” contract for the 2014 fire season but got no response. The government statement noted the Mars engines are
prone to breakdowns, while if one Fire Boss breaks down the other three can stay in service. Separate planes can also be split up to attack multiple differ-
ent targets at once. The Mars, meanwhile, has a large drop pattern that the branch said can make it unsafe to use close to ground crews, who must stop work during a drop,
risking the escape of a fire that could have been contained during the initial attack phase. The province also uses various other air tankers and helicopters in fighting fires.

Northwest time clocked at over the usual If you’ve noticed some clocks running fast lately, you’re not in a time warp or going crazy. The northwest was taken off the usual BC Hydro electricity grid for 10 to 12 hours a day last week so maintenance could be done on the 500kV power lines from Prince George to Terrace. While workers are doing this maintenance, the northwest gets its power from Rio Tinto Alcan, which runs on a faster frequency, says BC Hydro spokesperson Bob Gammer. The frequency runs on 60 hertz at BC Hydro but the Rio Tinto frequency is 60.3 hertz, which is just enough to make electric clocks show a difference of 18 seconds per hour, he said.
“Yes, clocks are running a few minutes fast. It’s not every clock, it’s just those simple electric clocks that are plugged into the wall so they are running a few minutes fast per day while we have islanded the northwest from the rest of the B.C. grid,” said Gammer. Maintenance goes on for 10 to 12 hours a day and when workers are done for the day, the regular lines are switched back on. Simple clocks that are affected have to be reset back to the correct time. More modern clocks can somehow pick up on the time difference and correct themselves, he added.

Teachers, gov back at table Tom Fletcher Negotiators for the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and school districts met on Friday for the first time since schools were shuttered by a strike in late June, and Education Minister Peter Fassbender expected new proposals from both sides. Fassbender said Tuesday it’s the first meeting of full bargaining teams in more than a month, and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association has some “new concepts” to bring to the discussion. “We’ve already demonstrated our willingness to move on some key elements,” he said. “We need to see the same from the BCTF. They’ve indicated they’re willing to do that.” He wouldn’t comment on the new proposals, except to reiterate that the BCTF’s position on benefits and other compensation is not in the “affordability zone” established by other public sector union agreements. If the strike shuts schools again in September, the government plans to use the savings to compensate parents $40 a day for each child under 13 in public school, to assist with daycare or tutoring

Fassbender said there would be no conditions attached to the payout. “My hope is that there isn’t a nickel available as of September, because schools are operating, teachers are back in the classroom, students are there and there is no further disruption,” he said. The B.C. School Trustees’ Association has urged the government to direct its $12 million a day in payroll savings from the strike to a fund to address class size and special needs support.
Trustees have also called on the union to moderate its benefit demands, which include parental leave, dental benefits, massage therapy and increased preparation time for elementary school teachers. BCPSEA has offered $375 million over a six-year contract term to provide extra classroom support, and specified class size limits in the teacher contract, to address key issues in a series of court disputes.

Area Internet provider Citywest is boasting of their 10,000th Internet client. And the person is a Kitimat resident. Raphael Colon-Vonarx was highlighted by the company as the lucky customer. The company is calling the
occasion a great milestone. “We’ve been a telecommunications company for the last 104 years, and we’re proud of all our achievements during that time,� said CEO Don Holkestad. “Even with the lightning-fast pace of change in the industry, we’ve been able to stay on top
of emerging trends.� Citywest say they have invested $15 million in upgrades to their network since 2005, and $3 million in the last two years alone. Colon-Vonarx’s impeccable timing was rewarded with six months of free Internet service.
,W WDNHV PXVFOHV Grizzly was put down WR IROG XS WKLV QHZVSDSHU Cameron Orr The Conservation Officer Service alerted the Kitimat Bear Aware program of a grizzly which had to be put down in the Hirsch Creek Campground area. Officers said it was a second year cub that
had not been seen with a mother in some time. Grizzly cubs, they say, normally stay with their mother until the third year so survival chances were already low for the bear. The grizzly had become heavily habituated to eating garbage

Continued from page 1 From that 25 per cent concluded, 27 public reports were issued where no criminality was determined. Thirteen reports were submitted to Crown counsel, with seven not proceeding to charges. The Crown does give a public report when it does so. Four cases are now before Crown for a decision on how to proceed, and two charges have been approved on cases. Being charged is not equal to being found guilty. “A very small minority result in any kind of charges,� said Krenz. The way files are reported are generally by the officers themselves at a police agency, and reporting time between incident and contacting the IIOBC is actually as low as eight minutes.
and desensitized to people. Conservation Officers say they monitored the bear for many weeks hoping it would move on but its behaviour got steadily worse. The bear is also responsible for a number of complaints in the Smith Street and Teal
Street areas. Meanwhile people concerned about the storage of garbage or other bear attractants can report problems to the Conservation Officer Service at 1-877-9527277 or to the District of Kitimat bylaw department at 632-8900.
There is a 24 hour line police can report incidents through. There is also an informal process where the public can report incidents too. In those cases the IIOBC will follow up with the police agency to determine what occured. “So far there’s been two instances where we were made aware of instances and once we checked in to it there was a reasonable explanation as to why it wasn’t reported to the IIO in the first place,� he said. You can visit the IIOBC website at http:// iiobc.ca where they have their annual report and their public reports on investigations. The nearest public report is for an incident of the death of a man in Smithers, B.C., where officers were not found at fault in the death.
Mine sought second water release increase Tom Fletcher Mount Polley Mine management was awaiting a second permit amendment from the B.C. government to increase water released from its tailings facilities when the tailings pond dam breached in the early hours of Aug. 4. Ministry of Environment records show the mine has had an effluent permit since 1997, and has operated since startup with a water surplus due to precipitation. In 2009 the company applied to amend the permit to allow discharge of up to 1.4 million cubic meters of water a year to discharge dam seepage effluent into Hazeltine Creek. That permit was approved in 2012 after an
independent report was commissioned to examine water quality impacts from sediment and contaminants, and measures needed to control them. With the mine and its tailings facilities expanding and an exhausted pit being converted to underground mining, Mount Polley applied for another amendment to discharge up to three million cubic meters of treated water to Polley Lake. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said Mount Polley mine does not have acid-producing rock, which reacts with contaminants such as arsenic and mercury and allows them to mix with water. Bennett was on site this week with mine inspectors and environment ministry staff.

Sports & Leisure Cathers played huge role
Kleanza Cathers gives an impressive showing at the North American Aboriginal Games. Submitted
Submitted Kitimat Marlins Swim Club swimmer Kleanza Cathers just returned from the 2014 North American Aboriginal Games in Regina. Cathers is from the Killer Whale clan of the Nisga’a First Nation. Kleanza qualified earlier this season and was part of team B.C. for the games. There were over 5,000 First Nation athletes from across Canada and the USA. All of those athletes were competing in 17 different sports at the games. The games are held every two-to-four years. For the first time ever Team BC won both the John Fletcher spirit award and overall team award for highest total medals. Incredibly Team BC won the total medal award by just one medal over host team Saskatchewan.
Cathers played a huge role in B.C.’s win as she medaled in nine out of a possible nine medal opportunities and tied with Chantelle Douglas of Kelowna who also competed in swimming for most medals for Team BC athletes. Cathers competed in the 16 and under girls category. She took gold in the 100 meter freestyle and helped Team BC 4x50 free relay to gold. She took five silvers in the 50 meter freestyle, 50 meter breaststroke, 100 meter backstroke and the two other relays 4x50 meter medley and 4x100 meter freestyle. She rounded out her competition with two bronze medals in the 50 meter butterfly and 50 meter backstroke.

Marleau keeps on running When we last left Al Marleau he was off to Spain for a duathlon. His training more than paid off, finishing 11th in the 5559 age group at the Worlds, on what he says was a hot and hilly course. He keeps on running — well, maybe not continuously — to Toronto where he competed in early July at the Duathlon Nations. He won the national title in his age group, and finished 13th overall, despite rain and wind, he said. His stats were 39:35 for the 10 kilometre run, then 1:07:10 for the 40 kilometre cycle, then 20:26 for the five kilometre, with an overall time of 2:10:21.
