PTP won’t convert to an oil pipeline Cameron Orr As news reports surfaced last Thursday regarding a ‘leaked’ letter that purported to show that the Pacific Trail Pipeline could be sold to an oil or bitumen transport company, Chevron responded quickly saying information being released was inaccurate. Gillian Robinson with Chevron’s external communications says that the only way the PTP pipeline — which is proposed to supply the Kitimat LNG project if it reaches a construction stage — could be sold to any company with an interest in oil transportation would be if every member of the First Nations Limited Partnership tied to the pipeline agreed to such a change. The FNLP is an association of First Nations who have signed on to an economic benefit deal with Chevron regarding the natural gas pipeline, making them partners in the project. Reports surfaced on October 16 from Vice. com that a letter from Chevron vice-president Rod Maier was leaked from the Moricetown band that showed the company wanted permission to be able to sell the PTP pipeline to companies seeking permits to build oil pipelines. A news release issued from the Moricetown band in August this year in fact counters the whole claim, saying that the band and Chief, and members of the Wet’swuet’en Hereditary Chiefs, “have secured commitments from officials of the Province of British Columbia, Chevron Canada Limited, Apache Canada Ltd., and the First Nations Group Limited Partnership that no oil will be transported in the proposed natural gas Pacific Trail Pipeline Project owned by Chevron and Apache.” Fifteen First Nations have signed on to the FNLP, but as of now the Moricetown band has not signed on as the 16th member, which would cover all the affected First Nations on the route. “That information [in media reports] is really muddled,” said Robinson. “But there is an agreement with Chevron and the Moricetown band that we will not convert the pipeline to an oil pipeline.” She further added that the PTP line has “never been designed to transport oil,” and will be needed for at least 20 years if constructed to supply Kitimat LNG. She also added that it won’t be possible to convert the PTP line to a bitumen pipeline without an entirely new regulatory process, which includes consultation with First Nations. “This means any company with plans to use the PTP as an oil pipeline would have to start back at square one,” she said. “There have never been any plans nor are there any future plans to convert the PTP to an oil pipeline.”

To whom it may concern I don’t know at what point it was lost in the mail but over Thanksgiving weekend I found a letter to Kitimat tax payers encouraging people to go to the October 6 council meeting to show support against housing density. The letter went over the abundance of land that could be developed in Kitimat, giving an alternative to zoning changes and new high density proposals in town. Density being the hot topic it is, especially leading in to this election period, has been a subject of a lot of conversation lately, in the community and in this paper. I’ve given a lot of ‘ink’ on the subject with people’s concerns. But in the case of this letter I have to just highlight one of my pet peeves, and that’s the letter is unsigned. For those who received the letter, it is signed at the bottom “Concerned Citizens of Kitimat.” An entirely vague reference. But the real kicker is the line a few above the signature, which says “If you feel the need to express your opinions please call our council members.” and the letter continues on to list the council members with their phone numbers. That’s all public information so there’s nothing wrong with giving out the contact information for our representatives, but it shows a lack of respect, to me at least, when the authors won’t even bear their own name to the paper. Perhaps the letter is from the same people who have spoken publicly at council meetings regarding the issues. And I hope it is. Being open about who you are shows that you’re putting yourself on the line to give a position, and that you are as accountable as the people you’re speaking too. That’s what makes an unsigned letter so frustrating. You never know who the people are or what their interests are. And may I add, just a little self-interestedly, that this letter would have also been welcome as a Northern Sentinel Letter to the Editor. (Just follow our rules that letters have to be signed by real persons.) And let me add as well that while the letter refers to some on council giving a lack of respect to the town for their position on developments, as a person who regularly attends meetings, I don’t see that to the degree others do. Some on council may not share the same values as others in the community do — which would be the case for any issue, really — but it’s certainly not been a free-for-all of handing out land to the highest bidder. And if you don’t agree, letters are welcome... Cameron Orr
Time to take the blinders off I often wonder if angry Canadians ever think to put themselves, even temporarily, in the shoes of, just for example, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Premier Christy Clark or, everybody’s favorite “whipping boy” Toronto Mayor Rob Ford? Because, despite the fact that they have all been successful at what they do, they can’t really win with the people who oppose them totally, both on a personal basis and equally on their policies. That’s why, unfortunately there’s never any real “give” with these singleminded leaders, who find themselves under the microscope on a daily basis, knowing there are so many people out there who would be delighted to see them out of work, out of support and if possible, out of sight. In many cases it’s not just a matter of dislike with their critics, it’s out and out hatred but it is in an acceptable form in Canada because it falls under the simple heading of democracy. Democracy allows so many unlikeable things that a large majority of people often consider to be just “wrong.” The criminal code outlines most or many of the things that democracy won’t permit yet on and on they go, unchecked corruption, unconstitutional activities

by governments, a high level of unacceptable police violence, as well as any number of actions that skirt the law and which no one seems able to do anything about or care much about. My theory is that this is what has led “protest” to be Canadians’ most popular pastime. The difference is that people who protest most often really do care and that’s where the divisions begin and slowly deepen to the point of intransigence. Every day we can read about groups taking legal action against virtually anything they don’t agree with. Canadian courts are literally bogged down, clogged with actions protest groups ranging from First Nations, to victims of violence or bullying, perceived discrimination, climate change environmentalists, pro and con abortion activists and so on.

went into the courts yesterday. The Site C dam project is already there, as are Enbridge pipeline proposals to both west and east coast ports. Teachers in B.C. are still in court as the Liberal government tries to get out from under onerous legal decision setbacks. There are innumerable other examples, despite the fact that court action can take so long. There seems to be a group of one kind or another opposed to virtually any kind of commercial or industrial development. Each group consists of Canadians like you and me, who simply disagree with proposals that someone or some company wants to proceed with. Meanwhile the majority mostly take a “wait and see” approach. “I object” appears to be on the lips of every Canadian on virtually every possible situation. This is true across the country. It’s not just Northern Gateway, LNG or affordable housing or any of the divisive issues that have “becalmed” the projected boom in Kitimat, to name our home location. A quick glance at Kitimat Politics on my Facebook shows that Kitimat is still deeply split on each of these issues, as is the rest of B.C. Continued on page 7

She said her company did recently purchase the land from the prior owners. As for existing renters, she said there are currently eight people renting units in the townhouses and “appropriate arrangements will be taken with each individually at the appropriate time.” She said some minor rezoning changes will be required, namely in regards to parking space requirements. Some parking will be built underground, Couillard had said at the company’s initial presentation. The proponents for this plan at Alexander are based in Quebec.

My name is Tim Carter and I am running for School Board Trustee. I was raised and schooled in North Vancouver B.C. I then moved to Kitimat in 1970 and have resided here since. I am married and have three step children and five stepgrand children who are at various stages of schooling. I worked for Alcan, starting in the potrooms, and worked my way up into the Accounting Dept. I spent many years doing budgets, both Operating and Capital, as well as monthly reporting to management, both local and head office. I retired in 2002. I believe in serving the Community that has been my home, by vol-
for nine years and in my three terms I’ve learned about the public education system. I’ve been working with all community stakeholders for past nine years. When I see our students in the classroom are supported by our dedicated teachers, support staff, administrators and trustees, I dream of a great future because being a school trustee is not a job but a huge responsibility. I have four children who went through the public education system in Kitimat and they all are doing great.

Blinders Cont’d from page 4 As Enbridge works on Energy East, oil pipelines to refineries and ports in New Brunswick and Quebec, I can hear the noisy furor from the eastern provinces ramping up exponentially in the media. A reader can watch it build daily. While I wish it wasn’t all so black or white, right or wrong, I continue to feel there has to be a viable means to get Canada’s landlocked oil and gas energy industry back on a faster track. I believe financial gurus who say the dissension and lack of solutions to free the flow of Alberta energy is costing our national economy $2 billion every month. Unfortunately, I also feel the energy business has made so much money so easily that it has underestimated its level of credibility with the Canadian public. Hence the opposition. Governments - federal and provincial have not helped with the “shoehorn approach” pushing their own agendas so persistently while failing to listen to objectors, evaluate their reasons or to try and meet opposition halfway. We’re again on the verge of elections on most fronts. It’s probably time for many of those people pursuing specific agendas to listen more and argue less. It’s time to get some things accomplished rather than continue our day-to-day constant process of propose and oppose. We do need to find some middle ground and make some headway, federally, provincially and locally.

Candidates for the November 15 election share their background and experiences
Mario Feldhoff I was born and raised in Kitimat and married Brenda in 1985. My parents still call Kitimat home. Two of our three daughters have returned to Kitimat since completing their postsecondary education. I earned my BA from SFU and Chartered Accountant’s designation while with KPMG in Vancouver. I have worked as an accountant at Rio Tinto Alcan since 1988. Prior employment included working at the BC Auditor General’s office in Victoria and a forestry business in Prince Rupert. First elected to council in 1998. Significant experience on many boards and committees and understand the workings of municipal government. Currently actively participate with both the Kitimat Health Advocacy Group and on the board of the Kitimat General Hospital Foundation.
Rob Goffinet Rob arrived in Kitimat as a beginning teacher in 1974, retired in 2010 after 36 years of service and raised a family of six children and eight grandchildren. He was first elected to Kitimat Council in 2008 and has just finished his second term. Rob has been very active in his profession, his church and in community organizations over his forty years in Kitimat. He has served
as the Chairperson of the Kitimat Health Advocacy Group for the past decade and takes keen interest in health, housing, planning and economic development issues as a Councillor. When not working, Rob loves to spend time with his children and grandchildren (almost all of whom still live in Kitimat), gardening in his small backyard, visiting with friends and family around a backyard fire and keeping up a steady diet of daily reading.
Amanda Kozak Amanda Kozak was born and raised in Kitimat, and is now raising her young family in the community. Previous to starting her family, Amanda was awarded an athletic scholarship and used her time to completed a degree in emergency medicine. After college Amanda was a practicing acute care paramedic for over six years and worked in a health and safety role in the oil and gas industry, as well as being an active and recognized member of search and rescue in her area. Amanda has received a number of professional recognitions both from her peers and management. Amanda currently maintains a medical license in both B.C. and Alberta. In her spare time, Amanda is an avid hockey player and skier in the winter and enjoys camping and hiking with the family dogs in the summer months. Amanda is a critical thinker, an educated problem solver and a hard working leader. She is an advocate for the community and its people. Amanda believes in Kitimat, its people and its future.
Paul Lagace Hello, my name is Paul Lagace. My wife, Jennifer along with our daughter, Viola now age four, call Kitimat our home. We made the decision to leave Ontario and move to this beautiful part of the province two and a half years ago because we love the north and the ocean. For more than fifty years my father, Joe, worked as a transmission man/ mechanic. Although I have pursued the academic route, recently finishing six years at Seminary in Toronto, the core value of hard work and loyalty is a spin off from my dad. My work with the Kitimat Housing Resource Project and providing support for parents who have youth with special needs is definitely my calling. I firmly believe that all members of the community, from an advocate’s perspective, deserve to be heard. My passion for languages, theatre, poetry, spicy Caribbean and Indian food falls into play when I’m not hard at work. Regarding my experience, I served two years as Student President at Seminary, ran previously for Council, owned and operated my own Theatre/ Publishing Company, oversaw and ran a Youth Group in Downtown Toronto, and have volunteered on the Extreme Weather Shelter.
Mary Murphy My family moved to kitimat in 1955. My partner and I raised our
two children in Kitimat and in turn five grandchildren. As the result of working in industry for 34 years, our family truly enjoyed, and continue to enjoy, the marvel of nature and industry. I was union president for five years, and facilitating the most difficult time, through a mill closure. I gained educational opportunities both from union and management structures and perspectives, early at St. Anthony, Kildala School, MESS, followed by NWCC, Justice Institute, WCB, RED Cross, CLC, CAW, BC Federation, and West Fraser. My Passion still lies with health and safety. My portfolios over three years include Advisory Leisure Services commission, Advisory for Persons with Disabilities, Northern Development Initiative Trust and Kitimat Age Friendly committee. Successful at obtaining government recognition for Kitimat Age Friendly Community. Radley Park and Hirsch Creek improvements and expansions, and lobbying for Kitimat's best interests. Volunteer positions, Kitimat General Hospital, Girl Guides, Kitimat Fire department, Kitimat Extreme Weather Shelter, Kitimat Community Supper, and many community committee projects. I enjoy instructing at NWCC and Kitimat Valley Institute. I love golfing, skiing, my three wonderful rescue dogs, and boating on the Douglas Channel. My favorite saying: "Success is accomplished: not by one, but a hard working group."

More council candidate bios other children, one in Vancouver and our two sons are in Alberta. I was born into the fishing industry, schooled in Vancouver, served with the RCMP for twenty five years, mostly in the marine section and then spent fifteen years in the Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Esquimalt. My wife ran the arena concession for the Snow Valley Skating Club and we are avid boaters and fishers. Kitimat is our retirement home, we love the lifestyle it affords us and the people of Kitimat have made us feel at home.
The Northern Sentinel asked for 200word biographies from each election candidate.
Claire Rattée
Edwin Empinado Incumbent councillor Edwin Empinado has filed.
John Powell Hello my name is John Powell I was born and raised in Kitimat, B.C. My family has a long tradition of volunteer work within the community, which is something that I wish to continue. Shortly after high school I moved to Alberta for work in construction/service industries mostly involving pipelines and have been involved in oil spill cleanup, but my heart and opportunity enabled me to move back to the town that I love. Since I’ve moved back I’ve worked on Rio Tinto Alcan’s site doing crane rail repairs, followed by the tear down at Methanex, then did a year’s work doing cleanup of ore spills at RTA, finally doing construction work again on RTA’s line 5. In my spare time I enjoy card/tabletop games, fishing, going for walks on our excellent sidewalks and helping friends, family and those that I see need help. Education: journeyman welder with red seal, experienced equipment operator, safety watch training. Newspaper stuffers Needed

Claire lived in the lower mainland until she moved to Kitimat three years ago with her fiancé, Oliver. Together they own DivineInk Tattoos & Piercing. She is very passionate about art and loves working with all mediums. Most of her downtime is spent playing with her dogs Brooklyn and Bronx. Although she is very young, she is highly motivated and ambitious. At the age of 19 she opened her shop and is always looking to take on a new challenge.
Larry Walker Born and raised in Calgary, Larry Walker is a mature adult who comes full of life experiences. I love the outdoors and especially fishing. I consider myself an avid outdoorsman but some people may disagree with my skill level. In the past I enjoyed hunting upland birds but have now settled into fishing.
Jack Riddle My name is Jack Riddle. I moved to Kitimat five years ago with my wife Linnea to be closer to our daughter Julie and her family. We have three
I have worked in marketing and sales for a major US Railroad. Spent 8 years as Manager of Transportation and Distribution for a major integrated forest products company in Alberta (yes they do have trees there). I even spent a few years working in a federal prison — great experience. I care about my community and in that vein was elected as an alderman in the City of Spruce Grove, Alta. I won a seat in four consecutive municipal elections. My love of this region began back in the late 70s when my family and I would travel by car to the Queen Charlotte Islands every fall to fish for salmon (did this for nine years in a row). Loved those flights on Trans Provincial Airlines into Masset and the walk down the beach to pick up the car from the barge. Kitimat is now my home and I hope to spend the rest of my active life here.

Powerless container ship sparks emergency response Martina Perry The Council of the Haida Nation issued an emergency alert last Friday morning after a container ship carrying bunker and diesel fuel became adrift off the west coast of Haida Gwaii in the early hours of Oct. 17. “An emergency has arisen on the west coast of Haida Gwaii,” read the Council of the Haida Nation website. Gale force winds caused the Simushir, a 135-metre Russian container ship, to lose power around 1:30 a.m. , and by 7:30 a.m. it was drifting 12 miles off the coast of
Gowgaia Bay. “The ship is carrying 500 metric tonnes of bunker fuel and 60 metric tonnes of diesel. Coast Guard is preparing for the worst with the ship hitting ground in three to four hours,” reported the emergency issue. Shortly after 12:30 p.m., that day the Nation provided an update on the situation. “If the forecast holds, the container ship is expected to run aground in approximately nine hours. The ship has a Russian crew and the captain has been injured. Coast Guard is attempting to get to the site
by helicopter to respond to the situation,” the release states. Due to press deadlines we cannot say what later happened to the ship. The Council of the Haida Nation set up a command post in Old Massett in case the ship arrived ashore. “The Haida Nation’s worst fear is coming true. Our priority is to minimize the impact on our homeland and get our people on-site to start dealing with the grounding,” said Peter Lantin, president of the Haida Nation, adding they will deal with the politics of the situation later.
Before noon, winds were blowing the ship to shore in a seven to 10 metre sea. Winds were expected to turn westerly. A tug from Prince Rupert, along with a tug from Alaska, was deployed, with the Haida Nation stating the fastest they could arrive to the area was in 20 hours. North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice said “We’ve heard the Premier talking about ‘world-class response’, and it’s a bit concerning when as of an hour ago it was 19 hours before the nearest tug could arrive. That’s a bit alarming.”

Tom Fletcher Large grocery stores are the only retailers eligible to add a separate liquor store under new B.C. government regulations set to take effect in the spring of 2015. To qualify for a space to sell alcoholic beverages, stores must have at least 929 square metres (10,000 square feet) of floor space and groceries as 75 per cent of their sales, Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced Friday.
The restrictions are designed to exclude general merchandise and “big box” stores as well as convenience stores, according to a ministry statement. Eligible stores will be permitted to create a “store within a store” with separate cash registers and staff, or “co-brand” with liquor stores outside their existing facilities. The government plans to maintain its cap on the number of liquor stores, with

Berrisford to bear the torch The Canada Winter Games is coming to Prince George next year and people in the northwest are being included in the festivities. Notably for Kitimat, Anne Berrisford has been announced as a torch bearer for the games, along with dozens of other people leading to the events, which begins February 13. Berrisford said she was told she had the gig early in September but had to keep hush on the matter until the official announcement in October. She said she hasn’t
yet learned exactly which 750 metres she’ll be carrying the flame but says it will likely be in the Terrace or New Hazelton region. It will also be in December, and she’s already thinking about waterproof clothing for the event. (She will be given a uniform, though.) The torch itself weighs 15 lbs, she says, so she’ll “be spending time at the weight room” to train on carrying something that far. Being chosen as a torch bearer required a nomination but she
isn’t sure who that person would have been. Berrisford, who is an avid golfer and participant in the BC Seniors Games, is beginning a family tradition of torch bearers in her family. For the last Winter Olympics she said her son in Ontario was picked as a torchbearer for that event too. Berrisford joins 17 other runners in this region who get to hold up the torch. The Canada Games website categorizes the bearers by larger communities so Berrisford is actually listed under Terrace, despite her lo-
