Haisla council pay disclosed Cameron Orr Newly published information showing the remuneration of First Nation political leaders has shown how much Haisla Nation Council members earn. The information has been posted online by the federal Department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. Chief Councillor Ellis Ross takes a $75,000 salary. Deputy Chief Councillor Taylor Cross, for eight months, earned $21,039.46. Salary among the councillors wasn’t uniform. Henry Amos earned a $41,208.46 salary based on the public disclosure, the highest among the council. That is for 12 months on the council. Russel Ross Jr. and Joanne Ross each earned $37,746.97 for 12 months. Margaret Grant was paid $16,399.91. Godfrey Grant Jr. was paid $15,899.91. Lucille Harms earned $15,399.91. For the shorter term councillors, Willard Grant earned $12,000 even for eight months. Crystal Smith for eight months was paid $25,074.80. A request for clarification on how council remuneration is set was not immediately answered from the Haisla Nation. The salaries do not include expenses, which for the entirety of the council came to $38,301.61. The salary details were posted on July 31 this year. For comparison, the yearly salary for the District of Kitimat Mayor is currently $29,880. Councillors for the District earn $12,286. Haisla Nation financial statements are also disclosed, showing a 2014 revenue of $46,032,080 with $22,635,438 in expenses, leaving a surplus of $23,396,642. That amount exceeds the budgeted budget shortfall of $295,726 for the year, which is mainly thanks to a far larger than budgeted “other income” line item of 35,339,867. It is not explained in the documents what that income would refer to. The total registered population of the Haisla Nation is 1,812. Of those, 644 are registered as living on reserve. The Haisla also hold $5,778,050 in investments in regional LNG partnerships and regional LNG development joint ventures. Based on statements filed so far, salaries among B.C. First Nations ranged from the high of the Snuneymuxw First Nation near Nanaimo, where one councillor was paid $315,000, to the low of the Shackan Indian Band near Spences Bridge and Merritt, where the chief collected $13,000 and the two councillors received $9,100. - Files from The Langley Times

1.30 INCLUDES TAX

It’s never too hot to have fun. This group of kids were more than happy to splash for the camera on a roasting August afternoon earlier this month. Cameron Orr

Council divided on Riverbrook Cameron Orr Just as with the Kingfisher Development Corporation town home proposal, some on council don’t see any value in increasing density, in light of the Riverbrook Estates proposal for Liard Street. Leonard Kerkhoff presented an updated look at the proposal and some changes made to the plans in light of some concerns voiced earlier in the process. The potential rezoning for the land which would allow staged development of detached housing, apartment buildings and townhouses, has reached second reading but not after Phil Germuth voiced his reasons against scrapping the proposal all together. Germuth’s arguments followed similar lines of his previous concerns, that Kitimat doesn’t need a boost to housing density. “There’s only one reason you take

“Not very long ago we were being slammed for not having enough housing in Kitimat.” a plot of land made for 80 units and put 217 in there,” he said. “I still believe the developer can achieve a healthy, respectful profit margin by leaving the zoning as is and building a combination of possible ranchers and bungalows.” The density as proposed is too much for comfort for him. “This doesn’t fit in with what Kitimat needs, there’s way too many units within one small area,” he said, also saying that it’s all speculation in anticipation of future major projects in Kitimat. However Mary Murphy had a dif-

ferent approach, pointing out how quickly Kitimat became tied-up with lack of available housing. “Not very long ago we were being slammed for not having enough housing in Kitimat, and we were dealing with that all the time,” she said. “I think we need to let this process go forward and take their statements and decide exactly how we feel after all the public has put in their input.” The proponent held an information session last Tuesday, which is in addition to the municipal public hearings. Germuth was not swayed and said there is still lots of private land to be developed in town, and many properties that should stand for re-development before the town should allow high density neighbourhoods. Other councillors had different ideas. Continued on page 2

Humane Society as-hiss-ts RCMP with snake apprehension August 4 Kitimat RCMP received a report of a possible gunshot heard around the Teal Street area. Members made patrols of the area however did not find anything suspicious. August 5 A report was made of a large (4 ft) snake at the complainant’s back door. Conservation was called but declined to attend. A member attended and approached the snake which hissed and slithered under the deck. The member called the Humane Society to as-

Police Beat sist, which they did. The deck boards were pried up and the snake located. The member was able to extend her baton and pin the snake down by the top of its head without injuring it. The snake was then placed in a pillow case and into a small kennel and taken to the Humane Society. August 6 Kitimat RCMP were called to the residence of an 18 year old

male whom it was believed had consumed the synthetic drug, 2CP. Members arrived to find the male incoherent with no motor skills and believed to be hallucinating. EHS transported the young man to Kitimat General Hospital. August 7 RCMP received a complaint of a Break and Enter that occurred overnight at the Hirsch Creek Golf Club. According to the complainants, the seats from the golf carts were off and 15 of the carts had the gas

siphoned out of them. One cart had the battery wires cut. This is under investigation. August 8 Members were dispatched to the Cable Car area for an assault that was occurring at the Community mailboxes. Two males were allegedly beating up a third male. Members attended to find that all involved had disappeared. It was later discovered that the victim had been transported into Kitimat to contact the police. This matter is still under investigation.

August 9 At 6:54 pm, a member of the Kitimat RCMP attended to the scene of a motor vehicle incident with injuries on Kuldo Blvd. Alcohol was believed to be involved. The 47 year old male suffered non-life threatening injuries and was taken to Terrace for further medical treatment. At 01:25 am, the Kitimat RCMP responded to a disturbance call. The complainant’s 15 year old had returned home extremely intoxicated and out of control. The

Riverbrook Continued from page 1 Mario Feldhoff said he looked forward to the developer’s planned open house to gather further public feedback about the proposal and thought it would be inappropriate to kill the proposal so early in the process at second reading. Edwin Empinado also spoke to keeping the process going. Rob Goffinet wasn’t prepared to give second reading either but for the reason that he wanted more information on the application and had suggested tabling second reading until more information, for example a traffic study, could be completed. Germuth and Goffinet were outnumbered to a vote, which gave the application second reading. Project proponent Leonard Kerkhoff did speak to the proposal earlier in the meeting.

Among the details he shared was potential plans to construct a public playground at the northern end of the development, and showed plans which showed a planned 24 metre gap between existing homes on Liard and the new three storey townhouses. He spoke to the phased approach where 200 homes won’t go on the market at the same time. He also noted plans built-in to the townhouses that would allow an easy installation of an elevator in future upgrades. As for the community need for redeveloping existing properties, he said they’ve looked at that possibility, but expectations by land owners is very unrealistic, and redeveloping existing units in town could potentially cost six times as much as building a brand new development, given real estate costs.

Regional briefs

Identified The identity of a man whose body was recovered from the Skeena River near Terrace on Aug. 3, 2014 has been confirmed. Alex Lincoln, aged 61, of Terrace went missing on June 21, 2014. “On Aug. 3, persons walking along the riverbank across from New Remo came upon the body, which has been positively identified as that of Mr. Lincoln,” reads the release. “The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate this death. Mr. Lincoln’s family has been notified.”

Ban in Effect Caitlin Clow The forest service placed a fire ban through portions of the northwest that became effective at 4 p.m., Aug. 12. Prohibited are campfires, open fires, tiki torches, fireworks and sky lanterns until Sept. 15, or otherwise notified. The ban does not apply to cooking stoves using gas, propane or briquettes. Portable campfire apparatus that use briquettes, liquid, or gaseous fuel, marked with a CSA or ULC rating are also not included, so long as the flame does not exceed 15 cm. The ban covers all B.C. Parks, Crown and private lands but does not apply within city limits serviced by a fire department. The forest service recommends calling local authorities for restrictions before starting a fire. Those caught breaking prohibition are subject to a fine up to $345. If convicted, the fines increase to $100,000 and a year in prison. If the actions contribute to a wildfire, the person could be subject to a fine of $10,000 plus the bill for all fire fighting costs.

Council turns down a potential liability A proposed donation of parkland by a developer on Kingfisher Boulevard has been rejected by the District of Kitimat after council couldn’t support the potential liability. It wasn’t unanimous but the majority of council sided with a legal opinion which was reported to them at the August 5 meeting. Phil Germuth moved to deny accepting the parkland, which is a sloped area behind the proposed Kingfisher Development Corporation’s townhouse complex. The parkland also borders Margetts Street and other existing park space in the area. Germuth said he didn’t want to see the District of Kitimat on the hook years down the line if erosion begins to impact the developments on the property. Mario Feldhoff, however, believed there may be value in having the land. “If we go back 101 years or whatever and we look at Stanley Park or some other areas

where the council of the day made a decision... in the long term there’s benefits to the community,” he said. “I think in this particular case the risks are minimal.” He said there may be uses for the land that can’t be foreseen today. Rob Goffinet sided with the legal opinion that the town could be liable for future problems. “I would concur with legal and engineering opinion that we should lower our liability because we are entertaining densifying the development at the top of the slope, therefore we must be clear to the developer and to ourselves and the community that we’re not willing to accept the potential liability of increasing density at the top of what everyone agrees...is unstable ground.” The report to council on this issue confirmed the town could be liable for issues on the land. “As the proposed park lands include sloped areas the District would need to provide signage

Liquor sign draws concern Cameron Orr Kitimat Council has put the District staff on the task of finding a way forward regarding a business sign on Tsimshian Boulevard. The sign, which advertises prices of beer at the Ol’ Keg Pub’s accompanying liquor store, has drawn a comment from a local unnamed business owner concerned about its placement, given the business owner in question had recently gone through a development permit process themselves. “The neighbouring business owner stated that strong efforts were made to create a visually ap-

pealing storefront, and that all businesses should be held to the same standard,” staff wrote in their report. Placement of signs downtown fall under the purview of the Downtown Revitalization Area and business owners need to get a development permit under that for new signs and exterior renovations. The sign in question was actually placed on the District of Kitimat owned portion of the property, however that was admitted to have been an oversight on those who placed the sign initially. A retroactive D R A - d eve l o p m e n t

permit was applied for at the August 5 council meeting but council didn’t want to rush in to any decisions which could potentially go against the overall town plan. Councillors were also curious about the background to a similar style of sign outside the SuperValu grocery store, which staff said they believed had gone through a similar development permit application which had been approved in the past. The Downtown Design Panel weighed in on the sign at the Ol’ Keg, and felt it was not keeping with the standards of the Downtown Design

People need permits Cameron Orr The townhouses at 20 and 30 Clifford Street are undergoing siding replacement and have sought and received retroactive approval for the work. The complex is moving from stucco to a vinyl siding. Council had no qualms about the work itself but the application, to one councillor, seemed indicative of a slightly troubling trend he wants curbed. “It seems as though in the last year or so that there have been a number of situations whereby we’ve

been asked to make retroactive approvals of one sort or another,” said Mario Feldhoff. “And perhaps in one of our upcoming communiqués that we send out to all the homeowners in Kitimat, business owners and home owners might be reminded of the types of things people should be seeking approval for before they make significant investments.” Regardless of that general concern, council approved the development permit, which would officially allow for the exterior finishes, unanimously at their August 5 meeting.

Guidelines, according to staff’s report to council. Mario Feldhoff made the motion for District staff to make another attempt at resolving the issue before council would have to decide on a development permit on the sign.

and possibly fencing, depending on the location of the public access/trails,” reads the report. “Additionally, any slippage, instability or other hazards on these proposed park lands that affects the proposed multi-family development (or other properties) will be the responsibility of the District of Kitimat.

I’m not in right now It’s that time of year again. I’m currently writing to you from the past as I’m not really here. I am in fact not even in town. I have skipped town to spend quality time with family on the Sunshine Coast, followed by some appointments in Vancouver. It will be the first major road trip taken with my toddler, save for a run to Prince George in his first year. By now I’ll personally know how the process unfolded but I can tell you that as of writing this I just don’t know what to expect. Were it me allowed to simply veg in an oversized, padded seat with a stream of entertainment to keep me quiet content, I’d be as happy as anyone. Children don’t work in such easy ways, however. Yet what will likely be the biggest challenge for the trip is handling the Lower Mainland traffic. Each time I’ve made the drive, there is that growing sense of dread as I pass Hope, knowing that slowly but surely traffic will increase, possibly resulting in a near crawl. I may decide to simply jog from Langley to the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal. The eventual arrival at the Langdale-side may not provide much reprieve. Even now the flashbacks are coming to me of the mad rush for traffic to get up that first two-laned hill, before merging back in to the single lane of traffic leading to Gibsons and beyond. Kitimat may have its moments of traffic, making left turns a laborious affair but a never ending string of vehicles on the Sunshine Coast always told me the ferry arrived. It’s like being able to watch a run of salmon swim up a creek multiple times a day. I am of course writing in half-jest, as it’s always a great time to be back at my former home. When I first moved here I actually eased into the transition as Kitimat is similar to the Sunshine Coast. We’re on the water, among rain forest and it’s rural. Sunshine Coast rural and Kitimat rural, however, are two distinct beasts, I admit. As I write in anticipation of being in my home town, I’ll just say this for now: some say you can never go home, and as communities grow that is, in some senses, true. The Sunshine Coast has seen new malls, new shops, new condos built in the time since I first set off. It never felt right to see those new developments spring up, changing the dynamic of the coast, which opened up space for more and new people. But it’s like Kitimat. A community on the rise, facing proposals of new hotels and townhouses, more traffic and new faces. Very soon many former Kitimat students will begin a post-secondary program out of town. If that’s you, take a moment to really take in your Kitimat. Just like me, you may not get the chance to ‘come home,’ because it may never be the same. Cameron Orr

Tired of high taxes? So, apparently, is Joe Oliver! Many years ago, a few of us sitting around the legion abandoned grousing about the weather and the Canucks and settled on a major gripe we all share. We are all paying too much in taxes. Federal income tax, provincial income tax, GST, PST, HST, city taxes, indirect taxes, and fees are crippling. While we know it’s all too much, we also know we are all paying a heck of a lot more, percentage wise, than big money earners with sharp financial accountants, tricky investments or even ways and means of hiding money offshore. We all also know the reasons... government uses the “little guy” at will to finance its operations because they have the power and incentive to do so. First of all, however, generally they make sure, as Peter Sellers used to say, “I’m all right Jack!” by boosting their own wages and tax free expenses at the start of a new four year Parliamentary session, usually accompanied by choruses of “we haven’t had an increase in years” so the percentage increase is stepped up to balance. MP’s in Opposition, non-governing members, inevitably line up in solidarity. Few among them oppose more money and better conditions for politicians. That’s a gimme.

Under Miscellaneous by Allan Hewitson ahewitson@telus.net

There’s a general election next year and it’s not a shoo-in for the federal Conservatives, whose erratic performance, knee jerk defensiveness and clear disdain for the individual voter has been noted by many who feel the time has come for a change of leadership. No point going into the golden parachute pension plans; how else can we ensure we are getting the best people in government. Hands up those who think the Mike Duffys, Alfonso Gaglianos, Brian Mulroneys, Allison Redfords, Bev Odas, Rob Fords of this world are the “best people” to fairly handle our tax money? Thus it was no surprise last week when the Fraser Institute confirmed that Canadians shell out more on federal, provincial/local and indirect taxes than they do on the necessities, like food and shelter, combined. That was Tuesday morning and by late Tuesday afternoon Finance Minister Joe Oliver was on TV noting that the feds have

“been working” to provide tax relief for Canadians as a focus of the 2015 election. This is raw politics - expediency, opportunity and the morbid piling on of cattle manure. “We’re going to have a surplus; we will be focusing on reducing taxes.” That’s Oliver, predictably before a two-day meeting with high-powered business leaders in an annual policy retreat in Wakefield, Que. We all know business leaders are the best available consultants on the needs of ordinary Canadians, aren’t they? Taxes have risen by more than 1,800% since the 1960’s. Food and clothing have risen by only about 600%. Each year we’ve seen new indirect taxes and fees creeping in at an alarming rate, across the board. Most people would just equate these huge cumulative tax increases to the rising cost of living, but I argue fees like those on new TV’s, computers and other electronic goods, batteries, bottles and cans, fishing licenses, extra gasoline fees and baggage charges on air travel, all these environmental fees on paint disposal and other toxic waste and dozens of others that we run into so frequently we hardly notice, are all just tax increases under another name.

Cameron Orr The Kitimat Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Information Centre needed a funding boost to do repairs to the building. Structural issues were discovered following the first wave of bad news for the building; a cracked toilet tank leaked three inches of water in to the building’s basement. When the wet drywall was removed after that incident on June 10, it was found that the pony-wall contained rot and needed replacement. Replacing the walls also triggered a need to bring the building’s electrical system back to code. Staff’s report to council request-

ing a budget of $17,000 for the upgrades, also say it will be a chance to internally wire new heaters and to replace the external wiring of the building. Since the wiring is original, doing the work now will prevent needing to disturb the walls after the new ones are installed. “Insurance covers the flood damage but it won’t cover the studs and things that were rotten before the flood,” explained District of Kitimat Treasurer Steve Christiansen. The insurer for the building is paying $30,330.93 towards the June 10 damage. Council approved the expenditures unanimously.

Projects not dead, only sleeping When I wrote my last column saying we shouldn’t expect any LNG projects in BC to be green-lighted any time soon, I did not expect the hammer to come down quite as quickly as it did. As in Apache’s announcement that it is pulling out of the Kitimat LNG project. This is the project that was the poster child for premier Christy Clark who often pointed to it as the most advanced of any of the proposed LNG plants in BC. So does this announcement mean that Kitimat LNG is dead? Of course not. If Apache can find buyers for its 50 per cent share that have deep pockets, are in it for the long haul and, most importantly, will be the users of the LNG, then this will be just another bump in the road. But as I understand it Apache has been trying to sell a 10 per cent share since last fall without success. Which begs the question, if you cannot find a buyer for that 10 per cent, what are the

High Taxes Continued from page 4 Annual increases in mandatory costs for provincial health care, make a true joke of the vaunted “free” Canadian health care. The tax portion of insanely-rising gasoline and other transportation costs is cited as an excuse by the “putupon” oil industry. Will another election make a difference? Let me state clearly, just more taxes spent to shuffle the deck chairs on the Parliament Hill Titanic. As a senior and retiree can I look for tax aid? I doubt that too. Pay up, pay up and play the game. I’m never asked when Mr. Harper sends a few billion in aid to meet the endless crises there. It’s “our” responsibility!

chances you will find one or more to take up 50 percent? An optimist would offer up another sce-

nario: Chevron buys out Apache to take 100 per cent of the project. Ain’t gonna happen, says Chevron

vice-chairman George Kirkland. In a conference call with investors as reported by Reuters, he said Chevron was not interested in buying even part of Apache’s stake and in fact would be prepared to sell a small portion of its own 50 per cent. That didn’t surprise me.

Chevron owns 47 per cent of the Gorgon project in Australia, the one that saw original cost estimates in the mid-$30 billion range explode to more than $50 billion. And 64 per cent in Wheatstone, another Aussie project, that will come in at around $30 billion.

Given it is already in for a fistful of dollars just with those two, I can understand why it would be in no hurry to carry the full load of Kitimat LNG. And there is one huge difference between the Kitimat project and the Aussie ones. While Kitimat LNG is marking time,

Gorgon will be shipping out product by the middle of next year and Wheatstone will be doing the same by the end of 2016. It makes perfect sense therefore to get those up and running and create cash flow before taking on more multi-billion dollar expenditures. Continued on page 7

Continued from page 6 (As an aside, Apache has a 13 per cent stake in Wheatstone which it also plans to dump. Given the project will be producing in just two years, Apache’s headlong retreat into Fortress America seems illogical.) Major companies like Chevron and Shell have long horizons. They know that in 10 or 20 years the gasfields will still be there waiting to be tapped.

was $45 billion. As of March 31 this year it had ballooned to $60 billion, a 33 percent increase. Of course that didn’t matter because, according to the promise the Liberals ran on

in the May 2013 election, the revenues from a British Columbia LNG industry export tax would wipe the slate clean leaving a debt-free province. A bit like running up all your credit cards

figuring a lottery win will save the day. When Clark leads her troops into the May 2017 election - if indeed she does - there will not be a single operational LNG plant. And it looks long odds

there will even be one under construction. Plus the debt will most likely be even higher. So what campaign slogan will the Liberals be running on then: be patient, it’ll be alright? That’ll work.

We’ve extended the savings.

Pioneer Con’t from page 7 She recalls that in no time they had an electric plant going at the smeltersite with lights twinkling over the water 24 hours a day. Bulldozers also ran around the clock and the echoing boom of dynamite charges reverberated across the channel which was now a beehive of activity with constant traffic. Jean recognized that the twinkling lights were a modest beginning for a new city. And the valley would never be the same. When on a jeep tour of Alcan with the Indian Agent she was amused by the buses as several had signs from former duties. She observed names like Stanley Park and Capilano and a sign saying “see Dusty for haircuts” - which made her wonder, what about a perm? She marvelled that there were movies twice a week, a Bank of Montreal and even a doctor. Jean was invited a number of times to the Alcan side. Her favourite trips were the Alcan New Year’s Eve party and the time she was wined and dined aboard the SS Norah with its posh rugs, hardwood floors and grand piano. Due to meeting a friend and Kae’s wedding and departure, the next year Jean was back teaching in Manitoba. But she always treasured the memories of her years on the Douglas Channel.

I was full of joy.” ernment opposition in Togo and they explain they were asked to falsify election records following the country’s tumultuous 2005 election. Joh and Hyppo, however, refused to back away from their beliefs. “We choose to fight for the voiceless,” said Joh. “There’s nobody to stand for opposition.” Their decision didn’t come without

a price. The offer in falsifying the documents would be cash and a government job in return. In exchange for denying the request they were arrested and tortured. Both say today they only have limited use of some of their fingers, following detainment which included electric shock. They were eventually released but in

a later clash between opposition and government forces, the two men had to pretend being dead after gunfire erupted. That’s when they had to leave the country. They left to nearby Ghana with others, some which were found and sent back to Togo, and from there found their way to Hong Kong, after bribing immigration officials along the way to ensure they weren’t sent back home to likely more torture, said Hyppo. Their arrival in Hong Kong was itself the beginning of nine years of hard times.

New Home Continued from page 8 “That’s the world we lived until one day we decided to go to a church to be able to pray,” said Joh. The connection with the church eventually brought them to the attention of Kitimat’s Pentecostal Church and Wendi and Hugo Tse. Sponsorship was offered through the Kitimat Pentecostal church and after almost a decade of limbo, they arrived in Canada. Both Joh and Hyppo want people to know that their being in Canada doesn’t come at a cost to taxpayers. Beyond the documents allowing them to be here, all

their expenses come from the church and the Tse family, where they are living. “The government does not pay. Government pays nothing,” explained Joh. As a requirement they will have to stay with their sponsor family for a year before moving anywhere else, but even for only being here a few months both men are incredibly happy to be in the area and have no focus on going anywhere else in the near future. The hospitality of the north — and Canada in general — has definitely been impressed on them after years in Hong Kong.

“The government reflects people of Canada. The government accepts us, in only a few months...but nine years in Hong Kong, they didn’t accept us. No one accepts you. Even on the street they hold their nose,” said Joh. Hyppo expressed his joy at arriving in Canada very clearly. “When I get out from the airport immediately I kneeled down and I kissed the ground. I was full of joy,” he said. Today, their life as political activists in their home country is far behind them. They suffered a great deal for their beliefs and are

eager to move forward in a peaceful life. Hyppo said that he enjoys his life “because I have suffered a lot,” but now doesn’t want to be involved in that world. Joh said he’ll be content to just keep informed through world news. Hyppo said he has to thank the government of Canada, the Pentecostal Church and the Tse family for allowing them to come to Canada. The support given to them to come here has given them something that for years seemed very hard to hold on to; hope.

Safe Boating Awareness Boating Safety Tips

Canada is blessed with more fresh water than anywhere on the planet, and our lakes and rivers are favourite places for summer recreation. The ice is barely out before millions of Canadians are taking their boats out for fishing, water-skiing, tubing or just a leisurely cruise through beautiful northern scenery. Operating a boat is tons of fun, but it is serious business too, so please consider these boating safety tips. Life Jacket required: By law you may not have to wear a lifejacket – just have one in the boat for everyone onboard – but 90% of people who drown aren’t wearing a lifejacket. Today’s lightweight, vest-style lifejackets are much more comfortable than the clumsy versions of the past. Sober second thoughts: Attitudes and rules about drinking and boating have changed significantly, but a large percentage of serious boating accidents still involve alcohol. A cold drink on a hot summer day is a great thing, but operating a boat under the influence is a mistake you could regret forever. Testing, testing: All Canadians are required by federal law to carry a boating licence when operating a powered water craft. The Pleasure Craft Operator Card is for people who operate a powered

watercraft that is used for recreational purposes. This licence is mandatory for all size motors. A little knowledge can take you a long way. On the rocks: Many Canadian lakes are full of hazards, including rocks and trees. Knowing the waters and respecting markers are essential safety tactics. No wake zone: There’s lots of room to move in Canadian waters. But smart safety means slowing down when near other boats, swimmers, and those enjoying the water.

Weather Watch: For your safety, always check local weather conditions before departure. The radio, television and internet are good places to get information. If you notice any bad weather indicators such as darkening clouds, dropping temperatures or rougher winds while out on the water, play it safe by returning to land. Stay Seated: No standing up in your canoe, small powerboat, or any other similar watercraft. Standing can cause a small boat to become unstable and possibly capsize. Many drownings occur when men stand to urinate over the side of a boat. So please, if you feel nature’s call, head back to land just to be on the safe side.

Sports & Leisure

Coach brings World Cup to Kitimat The Italians walked away with an impressive World Cup win earlier this month. Well, it was Coach P’s World Cup, and the players aren’t yet old enough to drive, but it was an impressive victory nonetheless. Donald Pacheco, otherwise known as Coach P, wrapped up his third year of hosting a Kitimat soccer camp, which concluded with the “World Cup” finals. His camp has grown steadily, even

doubling this year over last year’s participants, to reach 47 players. “We have seen a lot of repeat but a lot of new kids,” he said. What accounts for this years doubling? Pacheco puts credit on the World Cup — not the local one, the real one. “This year I think there was more because the World Cup just happened,” he said. “I think that’s the time you get more kids because you see a lot of

it on TV.” As the camp grows he hopes to eventually make a full oneday camp. Even now though he calls in support with three local instructors, one from Terrace and one from Vancouver. Even the participants come from all over. He said there were two kids visiting Kitimat from England who joined, there were two who just moved here from Montreal and

there were three kids from Vancouver as well. The increase in members is also translating to the overall Kitimat Youth Soccer Association. Pacheco said they probably saw a 30 to 40 kid increase this year. And the talent keeps growing too. “Every year the talent levels get better. I don’t know if it’s what we’re teaching them or they come in with the skill level, but it’s been really good.”

The source of discharges are stormwater runoff from the Project Site and support areas. The land upon which the project and its support areas will be situated and the discharge will occur is Bees Indian Reserve No. 6, District Lot 2578; Units 10, 20, 28, 29, 30, 38, 39, 40 Block J and Units 1, 2, 11, 12, 21, 22, 31, 32 Block K, 103-H-15 in Range 4, Coast District, located at Bish Cove and within the Bish Creek Watershed including the following watercourses and associated tributaries: Bish Creek, West Creek, Skoda Creek and Renegade Creek. The maximum rate of effluent discharged from this project and support areas will vary based upon seasons and weather and may change as the Project is developed. The operating period for this project and support areas will be continuous. The characteristics of the stormwater runoff will be water produced from precipitation including snowmelt that contains suspended sediment from earthworks and construction are as follows: Total Suspended Solids less than 75mg/L daily average, Total Extractable Hydrocarbons less than 15mg/L and pH between 6.5 and 9.0. The types of treatment to be applied to the discharges are: erosion prevention and sedimentation control management practices and devices which may include sedimentation ponds, oil water separators, pH adjustment, flocculent addition and sand filtration. Any person who may be adversely affected by the proposed stormwater discharge and wishes to provide relevant information may, within 30 days after the date of posting, publishing, service or display, send written comments to the applicant, with a copy to the Regional Manager, Environmental Protection at #325 - 1011 Fourth Ave, Prince George BC V2L 3H9.

Chevron invites you to learn more about the proposed Clio Bay Marine Life Restoration Project.

Chevron’s engineering, procurement and construction contractor, JGC Fluor, is currently preparing the land for the construction of the LNG Plant site and contractor support areas.

This proposed project would see Chevron excavate marine clay from the Kitimat LNG construction site at Bish Cove and work closely with the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans to deposit this natural material in specific locations in Clio Bay. The clay will cap-off decaying wood debris left by historic log booming operations that has accumulated on the bottom of Clio Bay, damaging the Bay’s natural ecosystem. A key goal of the project is to restore natural marine life populations in Clio Bay. Come and share your thoughts and ideas with us and learn more about this innovative restoration project. Questions? Email KitimatLNGfeedback@chevron.com

During this period, Chevron and JGC Fluor will control and manage the stormwater runoff from the site through implementation of “Stormwater and Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control Plans. “ The Ministry of Environment has requested that Chevron Canada Limited obtain a Discharge Permit under the Environmental Management Act to authorize the stormwater runoff in accordance with the Plans. The Discharge Permit will set objectives for the stormwater discharge to protect the local environment. Protecting people and the environment is Chevron’s highest priority.
