Teachers prepared for the long haul Cameron Orr and Jeff Nagel Kitimat’s teachers are more resolved then ever as they face a potentially long haul in the ongoing labour dispute with the province. As of press time teachers still were not expected back in classrooms, with a school year scheduled to begin September 2. Kitimat District Teachers Association President Kim Meyer told the Sentinel that she’s personally not optimistic that there will be school in the early part of September but is hopeful for a quick resolution if mediator Vince Ready takes on the task. Ready has begun initial talks but has not yet begun full remediation. Kitimat’s teachers had returned to their picket lines last week and were expected to be at full strength this week, the scheduled start of the new school year. “The resolve is still strong. There’s some hardship happening right now, we’re taking care of each other at the moment,” said Meyers. She said the reasons for picketing are larger than just local Kitimat issues. “This is all about the conditions in our classrooms,” she said, saying composition is Kitimat’s largest issue. “In Kitimat it’s all about composition, it’s all about the make up of our classes. They deteriorate more and more ever year. The resources are not there,” she said. “Our libraries are open maybe one day a week.” She said if the issue were simply a salary issue then the BC Teachers Federation membership wouldn’t have even taken a strike vote. She said her fingers are crossed for a speedy resolution but her gut is saying no school in early September at least. “I don’t see it happening, because the government is waiting for the teachers to move to them and we can’t go down to their level,” she said. Meanwhile, the province last week proposed a two-week truce with striking teachers to at least allow B.C. schools to reopen as was scheduled this week while a mediated settlement is pursued. The idea of a cooling-off period allowing classes to start while mediated talks proceed was put to B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker by Education Minister Peter Fassbender and government negotiator Peter Cameron. There was no deal between the two sides but both sides said progress was made in the 90-minute meeting last Wednesday and mediator Vince Ready was to begin exploratory talks. The BCTF had not yet responded to the proposal but Iker indicated he needed union membership approval to halt picketing and urged full mediation to begin immediately. Continued on page 2

Kimberly Wasyleski and Lisa Medynski, with an old pamphlet advertising Strawberry Meadows as country living ‘in town’. A townhouse proposal has riled many residents in the area.
Affordable housing plan is not so welcomed by nearby homeowners There were jeers, there was sarcastic laughter, there was the definite murmur of an unhappy neighbourhood coming from the gallery at the August 25 Committee of the Whole meeting. It’s not entirely typical to have such a vocal echo when council meets, especially not for the usually pedestrian committee of the whole gatherings, but an affordable home plan eyeing the lot at 4 Blueberry has riled the local homeowners. To ask the proponents to the proposed Blueberry Gardens, Paulo and John Rigoni, they say that there will always be that contingent of “not in my backyard” who oppose projects that may interfere with their living even if it’s for the greater good. But residents in the area have a number of concerns, including the fact that, unlike other proposed high-density developments in Kitimat, this lot on Blueberry has never been zoned to allow housing as proposed. The proposal is for 14 total townhouse constructions, all built with an attached secondary suite. The affordability factor comes in with the units at the east end of the lot being sold for market value — estimated at $458,000 — and the seven units on the west side will be given a 20 per cent discount, leaving a cost to homeowners of about $366,400. The inclusion of secondary suites in the buildings mean homeowners can rent out those units to subsidize their mortgages too. They say that could equate to $1,700 a month for five to seven years during the construction of the LNG Canada proposal, if that goes ahead. Paolo Rigoni told council that their development would be contingent of major works beginning on that project. If
no investment decisions are made, then Blueberry Gardens is dead in the water, he said. “Consider our rezoning proposal and give us an opportunity to continue this dialogue to work out a solution that works for everyone,” said Paolo Rigoni to council. “There’s many developments proposed for Kitimat right now and they all have objectors. All their objections come from their immediate neighbours and generally this is a ‘not in my backyard syndrome.’ People know there’s a need for affordable housing in Kitimat but they don’t want it near them because they want it somewhere else.” They spoke to walls or fences as ways to minimize privacy problems. Goffinet had issues with their proposed affordability claims, asking how a bank could ever be assured that there would always be a $1,700 rent waiting for the homeowner, also noting that if a renter is lost that bumps $1,700 in to the homeowner’s budget, in a home that’s supposed to be geared for low income. As for the application itself, council faced two possible actions from staff — either prepare a draft bylaw for the proposal or to reject the application — but councillors instead voted to defer the matter until staff could provide council on input on the possibility of using nearby District of Kitimat owned land for this purpose, and to send the matter for comment from the Advisory Planning Commission. If the bylaw eventually proceeds as proposed, it would allow up to 14 townhouses compared to the currently zoned two total units for the site, and would reduce the minimum frontage from 40 metres to just two metres.

A survey on Highway 16 is being conducted by the Omenica Beetle Action Coaltion and the Carrier Sekani Family Services. The survey questions participants primarily on ways people transport themselves on Highway 16. The survey is available at www. ominecacoalition. ca. The deadline to do the survey is September 8. At the August 25 committee of the whole meeting, councillor Mario Feldhoff put focus on the survey, encouraging people to participate before time runs out.
Campfires The District of Kitimat says the campfire ban for the town has been lifted, effective August 27. As of writing, category 2 and 3 open burning is still prohibited. Information about types of fires can be found online at http:// www.bcwildfire.ca.
Talhtan A blockade by a group of Tahltan of a mine being built by Imperial Metals on Tahltan traditional territory has been lifted. Road access to the Red Chris copper and gold mine project is now open following a deal reached between Imperial and the Tahltan Central Council, the overall governing body of the Tahltan. Imperial will pay for a review of the Red Chris tailings pond design conducted by a company chosen by the Tahltan Central Council. The blockade was mounted by a Tahltan group called the Klabona Keepers, and others.
Residents speak out Cameron Orr The proposed plan for townhouse units at 4 Blueberry ignited fury in local homeowners who came out to view the presentation to council before speaking to media later. Lisa Medynski, who lives in the area of the proposal, said she spoke with 95 per cent of the people who live on nearby Cranberry Street and the overwhelming position is opposed to the project. Among the chief concerns of residents is the fact that the land is nowhere near zoned to the purpose of the proposal. Another nearby resident, Manuel Leite, says that unlike other townhouse proposals
— near Liard Street and Kingfisher Street — the land is only designed for single units. The other developments are proposed for land that already allow some high-density development. Leite says council’s decision to discuss options with District owned land is just wasting time, and that they shouldn’t be able to simply change the rules of zoning for the neighbourhood. Kimberly Wasyleski said people she canvassed on Blueberry Street all replied with “a resounding hell no,” to the plan. Her own property would share a boundary with the developments.
The DOK land option Cameron Orr Town council’s direction to staff to consider options for District of Kitimat owned land for an affordable housing proposal is referring to land at 461 Quatsino Boulevard. It’s a 14,517 square metre (or approximately 3.5 acre) land currently zoned as G1 - Institutional. Institutional zoning allows developments for education, government, medicine (medical and dental clinics, hospitals), community care facilities for nine or more persons or religion. The property is about a block and a half away from the Blueberry Gardens proposal, and faces Quatsino Boulevard and occupies the space behind the homes up to 16 Cranberry. The District of Kitimat purchased that property on July 14, 2012, for a cost of $119,000.
“Walk my home, look...30 feet up to a wall of windows to make me feel like I’m in a fishbowl,” she said. Medynski said the proposal would entirely erase their purpose for living there. “We wanted country living in town. Country living does not consist of multi-unit housing,” she said. She also took personal exception to comments from proponent Paolo Rigoni who
said they chose that lot, close to Quatsino Boulevard and nearby apartments, because that area does not have as many high-end custom homes. “So does that mean what I paid for my property and my home isn’t worth what everyone else [did]?” There was no official presentation from homeowners on the proposed project at the August 25 committee of the whole meeting.

Should plan be berried? A councillor on Smithers’ council once warned me about the dangers of decision making based on populist ideals, in this case meaning you shouldn’t not do something just because it will be disliked and may result in losing a future election. It’s with that in mind that I say that choosing to rezone or not rezone certain land shouldn’t entirely be based (but should definitely be part of the conversation) on whether or not nearby homeowners oppose the idea, such as the proposal for Blueberry Gardens. I’m still not supportive of the proposal though, and the concerns of homeowners in the area should definitely weigh heavily on the decision makers — it would definitely alter the sense of place on that street in ways people who paid money to live there wouldn’t have expected or anticipated, which is definitely a big deal. Given that I sadly don’t live in that neighbourhood I have to take a slightly different approach to considering this proposal. From the proponent’s report, they plan to build seven units to sell at $458,000, and another seven sold at 20 per cent discount, to $366,400. They estimate for the non-discounted units mortgage would be $1,894 a month. Including other expenses, and ensuring the homeowner stays above spending 30 per cent of their income on housing, the household income must be $8,650, or $103,800 a year, they say. Including a $1,700 rent from the suite, a family on $84,000 could live there. The discounted townhouses estimated monthly cost is $1,751 a month, not including a possible $1,700 rent income they suggest. My issues are much the same as some councillors. The homes themselves, at face value, are not ‘affordable’ but rather mid to high range. The affordability of the plan comes in only if the homeowner can secure rent, at the $1,700 the proponents say. As was said at council, how would a bank say yes to a mortgage for someone who could only afford it if half the home is rented out? As for the rent itself, hopefully I’m not out of touch to think $1,700 a month is not an ‘affordable’ rent. If everything works out as proposed, a home becomes affordable to a homeowner on the back of the renter paying the mortgage for them. In my mind Kitimat does not need more highvalued rent. If we want affordable rentals we need more buildings and the secondary suites the District of Kitimat is pushing. Bottom line is the proposal isn’t a bad one, but it doesn’t really make Kitimat living more affordable, and that trade off doesn’t make upturning Blueberry and Cranberry Street residents worth it.
Cameron Orr
Government leaves little to chance Anyone who knows me, is well aware of the fact that I’m not much of a gambler. Sure, I’ll take a $10 run at an occasional $40 or $50 million lotto jackpot, but each time I do I get a couple of numbers on a line or two of my ticket and I usually kick myself for sending that tenner to Christy Clark to spend on a costly BC Ferries CEO or another trip to China with her best business pals. I’m not a prude or a prohibitionist. I just tend to mind my own business. However, I feel far too many people who can’t afford it spend far too much money on too many games of chance with humongously bad odds. And I believe the B.C. government’s role in this field has become much too ubiquitous, if not quite truly immoral, although I rarely think along these lines. Gambling has been around since time immemorial. Now I think gambling has become much too omnipresent in British Columbia and I fear the government has become too greedy and has allowed this hunger for revenues to interfere with small-time community fund raising for many important and deserving efforts.
Under Miscellaneous by Allan Hewitson ahewitson@telus.net
After more than 10 years working with the local senior men’s hockey club, we constantly kept running into government or BC Lottery Corporation regulations that prevented simple, even very modest fund raising events, which didn’t involve “gambling” beyond buying a $2 raffle ticket. Government seems to want a piece of every dollar, a fee for almost everything even at this level, while keeping more understandable tight control of virtually all larger “chance” activities in the province. It wasn’t always this way and while I encourage government oversight on big-time gambling like provincial lotteries and over-extensive casino growth, I prefer to see some limits introduced and a less all-encompassing role for the province’s gaming and enforcement branch, with its exhaus-
tive plethora of rules and regulations, which discourages local volunteerbased organizations in particular, from encroaching on areas the B.C. government now seems to want to claim for itself. I have to say, actually, that wasn’t where I set out to go today. I wanted to note that B.C. is now, by far, Canada’s casino capital with 46 of them at time of writing, a whole lot more than the second-place province, much more populous Ontario, which has 31 of Canada’s total of 159. Canadians are pikers behind the U.S. With its 10 times population ratio, the U.S. is right on track with better then 10 times more casinos than Canada, 1,748. I’m not even sure if that number is right on; a new one opened in Las Vegas on August 28 but up to four are scheduled to shutter their premises in New Jersey’s Atlantic City before the winter sets in, including Donald Trump’s Trump Plaza and the Revel Tower Casino which closed after going bankrupt for the second time since it opened in 2012. A grim warning for B.C., indeed. Continued on page 5

Former councillor dishes advice Dear Sir, Fall is almost upon us, children returning to school, and the local elections for School Board Trustees and District of Kitimat Mayor and Council will be here before we know it. This election will be one of the most critical, if not the most critical in Kitimat’s history. It will be the first time that Mayor and Councillors will be elected for a four year term instead of three years, and Kitimat is facing potentially major changes and development. It is a time that all electors must be very careful in their choice of Mayor and Council. I was honoured by the electors’ trust in me for the three-plus years I served on council, and wish to provide food for thought in preparing for the next election. This isn’t the time to mark an ‘X’ in the box beside a candidate’s name because they are a friend, or their name may be familiar. We need to make each vote count
for those that have experience, or potential, in making good business decisions on behalf of the residents. The candidates chosen must be able to listen to all sides of an issue prior to making decisions, they need to be professional in their conduct and treat each other, as well as the public, with respect, they must be able to meet and
ReadeR’s WRite talk in a well-spoken and knowledgeable way with industrial leaders, neighbouring municipalities, and other levels of government. They must be able to understand the issues and ramifications of their decisions and plan for the future of Kitimat. I urge all voters to examine the performance of all council members with these points in mind and to talk to community leaders to find out what their
experience has been with the current council. Candidates need to be aware of the dedication required to be prepared for and attend meetings (sometimes two, three or more per week), be available to travel on occasion, be willing to listen to the publics’ concerns and suggestions, and receive phone calls any day of the week. The residents of Kitimat want to be proud of their representatives and successful candidates are in the public eye and their conduct is being judged 24/7. The elected official must be ‘true to themselves’, display integrity and honesty, and keep the ‘big’ picture in mind for what they truly feel is the best for the majority of residents, after studying and contemplating an issue. Next time I’ll talk about what candidates should expect if they run for Council. Food for thought. Sincerely, Corinne Scott
Debate should be based on fact, not rhetoric Dear Sir, Federal NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair recently told Northern residents that he’s “categorically opposed” to tankers in the Douglas Channel. In the ongoing debate about tanker traffic in B.C., it’s important that the public knows the facts. First, the Douglas Channel is one the widest and deepest
waterways on the West Coast, three times wider at its narrowest point than Transport Canada’s recommended width for tanker traffic. As the BC Chamber of Shipping notes, oil tankers regularly traverse the Bosphorus Strait, one of the world’s busiest shipping routes. The Bosphorus Strait is 698 meters across at its narrow-
est point compared to 1,575 meters for the Douglas Channel. Second, for generations the Douglas Channel has operated as a busy shipping lane. B.C. has some of the toughest regulations for shipping in our waters and in this case of Northern Gateway, those regulations will be met or exceeded. Third, only li-
Gambling Continued from page 4 I have wandered through numerous casinos on the Strip in Las Vegas and in Reno, as well as London, Washington, California, Alberta and B.C. To me the only difference is size and flash and the quality and cost of eating there. But they are fascinating and of course a trip to Las Vegas certainly offers more to do (besides gambling) than Chances in Prince Rupert. But I likely wouldn’t thank you for the chance to repeat the experience. Vegas is an eye opener of course but I hated sitting around the airport, waiting to leave, watching most of the slot machines clinking and ringing as last-minute gamblers relieved themselves of their pocket change. I don’t expect everyone to agree with me. The story last week of a popular Las Vegas $1 slot machine, which paid out its progressive jackpot (this time $2.4 million) for only the SECOND time in 20 years seems to support my ambivalence about slot machines. Yet reports say the machine at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas has been played about every five seconds since its last jackpot more than 20 years ago. I guess there’s a sucker born more times than just once every minute.
censed B.C. Coast Pilots will guide tankers and two tugs - one of them tethered - will escort every laden tanker. Finally, spill response capabilities will be three times better than what is required by existing regulations. The debate about shipping on B.C.’s coast is important to our province’s economic future. Northern
Gateway will create over 3,000 construction jobs and 560 permanent jobs for British Columbian’s. That’s why it is best that the debate be based on facts, not political rhetoric and fear mongering. Sincerely, MaryAnn Freeman A concerned citizen that supports Free Enterprise

Airport to see major improvements in 20-year plan Cameron Orr The Kitimat-Terrace Regional Airport has a lot in store for the next 20 years, including a larger airplane parking area, more streamlined security and baggage check, and more room for waiting passengers. All that was part of airport manager Carman Hendry’s presentation to Kitimat’s council on August 25. Hendry was joined by Kitimat’s Ron Burnett, who serves as the airport society’s president. To give context to 20 years of planning, in 2013, airport passengers rose 28 per cent in a year to 177,000 people. “If we were to look back 12 months from the end of July, we’d see 240,000, an increase of approximately 48 per cent.” The plan aims to stem some issues at the airport such as security screening. Future
“There will no longer be any taking your checked bag and your carry on at the same time.” construction will allow bags to be checked and dropped off before going through the security line up. “There will no longer be any taking your checked bag and your carry on at the same time through the same line up,” he said. The holding room for passengers is also set to grow. Today the secured room can hold 81 seated passengers, and 120 total. Beyond allowing
for more aircraft and passengers, the road leading to the airport from the highway even have some plans. Notably is the idea of building a hotel along that strip, along with additional parking and a service station. The current parking lot allows for 340 cars and they have been clearing land to allow for 800 cars by Christmas. One big obstacle still in the way from their plans is the Canadian Border Services Agency, which so far, according to Hendry, have no interest in putting in a customs service at the airport. “Today they’re just not interested in showing up at our airport but we will eventually convince them, with
Airport Manager Carman Hendry. Hendry gave Kitimat council a glimpse at the aiport’s 20 year plan. Black Press File Photo the help of Kitimat,” he said. The airport serves 10 flights daily to Vancouver and one to Prince George with
connection to Calgary, he said. When asked about the subject of an airport transporter he said a company called
Northwest Shuttle Service does currently service the airport to Terrace hotels, and that they are considering expanding to
Prince Rupert and to Kitimat. He said Kitimat’s council may be hearing from that company in the near future.
Invitation for new members Rio Tinto Alcan wishes to expand the membership of its Public Advisory Committee.
Blockades A press release released August 26 says that a number of hereditary chiefs of Gitxsan have closed off their territory to natural gas pipeline development. The Houses of Luutkudziiwus, Xsim Wits’iin and Noola will establish a long-term base which they say will “focus on various territory management initiatives.” Luutkudziiwus claim Aboriginal title and rights over Madii Lii territory. The Madii Lii camp is located at 15 km on the Suskwa Forest Service Road. The blockade will impact TransCanada’s Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline.
Since 1996, Rio Tinto Alcan’s BC Operations has had the pleasure of hosting a Public Advisory Committee. We have found it to be of value not only for Rio Tinto Alcan, but for our interested stakeholders as well. During this time of change for our Kitimat Operations, we wish to once again solicit new member organizations who may wish to participate, contribute and become more informed on matters related to Rio Tinto Alcan’s environmental stewardship in BC. This Rio Tinto Alcan committee typically meets on a quarterly basis in Kitimat and is open to representatives of local community organizations, agencies and not-forprofit associations. If your organization is interested in this opportunity, please submit an expression of interest to

Council defers a decision on development permit Cameron Orr A development permit application for the former North Star Inn building stirred some debate at the August 25 committee of the whole meeting, when council was split on whether to issue notice on the application or defer the application for later. The reason was the applicant, Kiticorp, had not provided all of the documents that are normally required in a development permit application. The company cited time constraints as the reason some information was missing, namely graphics depicting the building’s finished look. Mario Feldhoff moved for council to refer the application to the Advisory Planning Commission (APC) and to grant approval to issue public notice to neighbours about the application. That motion ultimately failed however, with Mary Murphy, Rob Goffinet and Edwin Empinado opposed. It was a straight 3-3 vote, which automatically defeats a motion. Mayor Joanne Monaghan swayed the second vote, for council to defer the application process until all the documents are submitted, when she voted with Murphy, Empinado and Goffinet, after she had supported the earlier motion. “I think that the APC and staff will hopefully be able to work with the proponent to get the additional information, renderings, or whatever else that might be required to make a more informed decision,” said Feldhoff in
defending moving the application forward. But those on the opposite side of the council table felt the rules should be followed. “I would not be

Mary Murphy however argued that standards need to be kept. “I still believe we have certain standards we want to maintain in the community,”
she said. The eventual decision puts the ball in Kiticorp’s court to submit a more comprehensive application before council will consider moving forward.
““I still believe we have certain standards we want to maintain.”

Cheynes leave town, but leave behind a legacy Cameron Orr It’s a great Cheyne to see them go. Dorothy and Max Cheyne, of Ocean Falls then Kitimat, will now be of Sydney by the Sea (just off of Victoria), but the family has set a foundation in Kitimat that won’t be forgotten. We spoke to Dorothy in greater detail than Max himself, who was content to have Dorothy handle their ‘PR’ as they prepared for their final departure last Thursday, August 28. Dorothy was enjoying a string of celebrations thrown for her from the Kitimat Hospital Auxiliary, and then the Kitimat Seniors group. Dorothy and Max first moved to Kitimat from Ocean Falls,
when Max got work getting the Eurocan Pulp and Paper Mill operational. “A lot of those people [Ocean Falls] are here now,” she said. The move to Kitimat wasn’t terribly jarring — Ocean Falls at the time was just 3,000 people (still better than the 100 or so it is today) — but she did have to adjust having moved from the large city of Saskatoon to Ocean Falls. “I found it quite small and we were isolated. We either had to fly out or go out in the boat,” she said. Since moving to Kitimat, however, she’s been a staple of many local community groups. “I got our seniors branch, 129, started
when my mother came to live with me,” she said. “We met in the Riverlodge small room. Then we eventually moved to where we are now.” It wasn’t just that group though. She’s been a hospital auxiliarian for 58 years, most of that on the Kitimat Hospital Auxiliary. She spent six years as the chairman for the local chapter of the BC Seniors Games and hasn’t even missed a game, save for this year’s. Now 86, Dorothy’s heart for volunteering still hasn’t subsided. “I like helping people,” she said, noting her plans for Vancouver Island being joining their local hospital auxiliary and joining the seniors group.
McLeod resigns After fighting for two years for his constituents, and having his latest motions defeated, Kitimat-Stikine regional district rural area director Doug McLeod has resigned. “There is a time when actions speak more than words. The actions, in this case, are my resignation and the defeat of my three referendum motions at the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine board meeting Aug. 8, 2014,” he said in his resignation letter Aug. 21. “...All will affect the public for years to come. The referendum questions were to be included on the Nov. 14, 2014 regional district election ballots.” McLeod's three motions were to have referenda on mandatory garbage collection, whether the MK Bay Marina outside of Kitimat should continue to be owned by the regional district, and the location of Forceman Ridge as a site for a regional garbage dump. The people who vote for the directors haven't been able to give their opinions on these topics for at least a decade because most of the discussion has taken place in camera, he said. “The public and my constituents in particular are being denied a basic democratic process in the form of a referendum. I made the referendum motions as a last resort, after many efforts, trying to keep my 2011 election commitment that the regional district wins broad public consent before making decisions,” he continued in his letter.
McLeod represents Area C, the rural area surrounding Terrace, south to include Lakelse Lake and the rural area around Kitimat. McLeod wanted to speak about the motions first when they were introduced at the regional district's Aug. 8 meeting and then let the other directors speak, but board chair Bruce Bidgood told him he was to speak after all the other directors instead, said McLeod. “As I understand the rules, the motions can only be brought back before the board if there is a majority vote by the directors at the September meeting to do so,” said McLeod. McLeod said the regional district has mailed out a notice to residents that it would be proceeding with mandatory curbside garbage and recycling collection, he said. “I am convinced the majority of my Area C (rural Terrace area) constituents were not in favour of the mandatory garbage collection, but wanted a one-stop recycling centre.” McLeod was elected in 2011. “The outright rejected referenda and rural area consent concept, by the board of directors of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine means I can no longer effectively represent my constituents, so I resign as the Electoral Area C Director,” said McLeod. It's expected that Diana Penner, the Area C alternate director, will finish the remainder of the McLeod's term until regional district elections are held this November.
Dorothy Cheyne, third from right, and her husband Max have moved from Kitimat but they’ve put a lot of work in to the town first. She said Max, a retired engineering manager for Eurocan, has been a big part of the push to move south. “He’s the one who really wants to go,” she said. “Two years
ago we did put money down on a retirement home but we never went. Now we’re going.” Their new home puts them closer to grandchildren and
great-grandchildren but Dorothy does admit local developments are impacting her health and have encouraged the move. “I have COPD — asthma — and
[Rio Tinto Alcan] say they’re not going to put [CO2] scrubbers in when they start up, and that is needed for people who have asthma and whatever breathing problems.”

Obituaries In Memory of
Stephen Gordon Ong Stephen Gordon Ong, 48, of Kitimat BC, passed away in his home on August 22, 2014. He was born in Ocean Falls to Joanne Ong and the late Donald Ong. He lived in Kitimat since 1971 and graduated from Mount Elizabeth Secondary School in 1984. Stephen was a member of the Kitimat Kinsmen Club for the last 13 years, and was a devoted and committed member. He served in every executive position in his local club and was very proud to have served as a Board member on the Kinsmen Foundation of BC and Yukon. He could always be counted on to have his camera ready to capture a memorable moment and was the club historian more than once. Stephen was well known in our community for his quick, sarcastic wit, his love of darts, karaoke, Keno and most importantly his profound love for his dogs. Stephen is survived by his Mother Joanne Ong and his Grandmother Gertie Crockart, and aunts, uncles and cousins. A celebration of Stephen’s life will be held at the Kitimat Legion at 3:00 pm on Thursday September 4th.

Haisla youth rock at NAIG Cameron Orr Three Haisla youths came away with medals from the North American Indigenous Games (NAIG), held in Regina in July. Representing basketball was Megan Metz and James Harry Jr., and Josh Grant earned his medal playing soccer. It was a long road to get to the high level competition, especially for James and Megan, whose team is composed of players from all across B.C., making practice an exercise in logistics. Josh benefitted from year-long practices due to his team being primarily composed of northwestern players. “For us, at first we were told it was only going to be one day practice and that’d be it,” said Megan. “Then it ended up being two weeks, and we went to a bunch of different gyms and practices from nine in the morning...to three.” Those practices, though, earned her U16 basketball team a silver medal. The U16 Females faced a tough match against their gold medal match rivals, Wisconsin. The U14 Male basketball team with James Harry Jr. had to face down Team Colorado in their final which earned them a

That said, James said it was Manitoba which provided the real fight. Their match against Manitoba was tight, resulting in 57-54 for the middle Canada players. Team BC took down Colorado for the bronze 54-42. Josh’s U16 Male Team BC topped the results with a gold medal for soccer, following a 2-1 win over Saskatchewan. Josh’s

team in fact went undefeated the entire tournament, and their gold was their second victory over Saskatchewan, the two having met the day prior for a BC win of 3-2. All three say playing in front of much larger crowds didn’t change their efforts on the field or the court, but getting to Regina was a bit of a shock in terms of the sheer number of people who
attended the event, between participants and spectators. “Way more than I expected,” said Megan. “Walking in to opening ceremonies. When you first look ahead you see empty seats, then you turn and see it packed in there. It’s crazy.” The three do plan to continue in athletics, and may return to the Games next year, which possibly may be held in Florida.
