Cause of blaze unknown Cameron Orr The Kitimat Fire Department sourced the fire which burned down a mobile home on Cranberry Street to a spot underneath the trailer in a far corner, but extensive fire damage has ultimately meant the cause of the blaze will go unknown. “Looks like the fire potentially started in or around the skirting and potentially underneath the trailer, so [it was] burning up in to the contents,” said deputy Fire Chief Pete Bizarro. One of two persons in the home “Due to the was treated for mifact that there nor injuries, however two of five dogs was substantial in the home didn’t structure make it out. The fire broke damage, at out on November 30 this point it’s at around 7:20 p.m. undetermined” Crews from the fire department responded with a ladder truck and were on scene for approximately three hours. Upon arrival, the mobile home was fully involved. An adjacent shop structure was saved from sustaining fire damage. Eleven firefighters and two chief officers responded along with personnel from the District of Kitimat Public Works Department, BC Hydro, Pacific Northern Gas and the RCMP. “Due to the fact that there was substantial structure damage, at this point it’s undetermined,” said Bizarro. He said an investigator from the homeowner’s insurance company would also come up to do their own investigation. Meanwhile the fire department did come up to some unanticipated challenges which they were able to easily work around during the fire. Namely that two fire hydrants didn’t work for them and an additional fire truck from the fire hall had to be called down to provide backup water. “We were unable to get water. Not sure what the cause was,” said Bizarro, adding that District staff were called in to fix the problem before they left the scene. A hydrant on Quatsino Boulevard worked and provided water, and Bizarro said those technical challenges didn’t impact fire suppression, and that there is usually some unanticipated challenge on any call out. “From a bystander’s perspective it’s tough to hear these issues,” he said, but added, “That’s what we do and that’s what we’re trained for... It’s all about how you manage these problems.”

Mayor Joanne Monaghan in one of her final tasks as mayor on December 1, along with Janet Meyer, former Roy Wilcox Elementary staffer, joined Walter Thorne and Sue Jay at Nechako Elementary to go through a time capsule first put together in 1964 (but later added to) at Roy Wilcox. The capsule was opened in front of students at a morning assembly. The capsule was moved to Nechako when the school closed. Shown here is a 1988 declaration making October 7 of that year “Roy Wilcox/Whitesail School Day in Kitimat.”

Prentice pitches petro pipelines Cameron Orr In a speech to the Vancouver Board of Trade on December 1, Alberta Premier Jim Prentice called pipeline proposals — including Northern Gateway — “nation building” projects, saying such developments have the potential “to transform our country for the better.” Prentice calls the revenues that oil sands expansion will generate as “long term” and will be sustained over 50 years. Prentice gave Canada a timeline of no later than 2020 to get pipelines built, otherwise the country’s pipeline capacity will fall short of new production in Alberta, and will impact the value the country receives on oil. “We will start to get bottlenecks,” he said. “We will be selling Canadian energy to U.S. marketplace at deeply discounted prices.” The problems will grow further and will limit the revenue available for social programs and for health care. He said that all Canadians “will feel the pain” if energy projects aren’t development. Energy, he said, is “at the core” of Canada’s prosperity. “And make no mistake, if we prove unable to meet global demand, then someone else in a competitive world will gladly

step forward and do it instead of us,” he said. Along with Northern Gateway Prentice also was speaking in reference to Trans Mountain pipeline expansion in Burnaby and Keystone. Prentice doesn’t exclude liquefied natural gas development in B.C. as a nation building project as well. All that said, Prentice does admit that development does come at a cost beyond financial. “I will not minimize the cost of increasing Canada’s presence in global energy market,” he said. “If we are going to be leaders in energy we must also, as Canadians, be leaders in environmental protection.” Skeena MLA Robin Austin says Prentice is doing what an Alberta premier needs to but says the notion that Alberta interests equate to national interests is wrong. “He wants to make sure he can get the best dollar for their oil, and that’s why they want to see pipelines built,” said Austin. “I think that each community and each province has to decide what’s best for themselves.” He said it’s not nation building like railway development was at the turn of the 20th century.

Whale researchers turn to the sky to get information Cameron Orr Vancouver Aquarium researcher Dr. Lance Barrett-Lennard spoke on the subject of whales to people at the Kitimat Public Library last week. Barrett-Lennard has been working with researchers of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in learning about whales and what makes them tick. And much like anglers on the Kitimat River in the summer, the thing that makes them tick is chinook salmon. “They’re very picky eaters and chinook is really what they want,” said Barrett-Lennard. As to be expected, in times when chinook numbers are low, the mortality rate of whales goes up. Learning about whales and what impacts them has been important research and conducting it has meant using novel means. “We’ve been using manned helicopters, basically just drones, to get these aerial photos,” he said. Whereas a typical helicopter will disturb whales from several hundred feet up, drones don’t cause those same problems. With drones they can get to about 100 feet and take photos without any behavioural reactions, he said. Using those aerial photos they can gather information they can’t get from a boat, such as the weight, if any are pregnant, and gender. On the issue of noise pollution — especially important in light of potential marine traffic with energy exports — he said it’s hard to say what long-term impacts are on whales, but in the short

term, food supply and long distance communication become difficult with high levels of noise. “Sound carries well up and down the fjords really well, like Douglas Channel. It’s easy enough, actually, to design ships that are much quieter than the current generation but it hasn’t been on anyone’s radar until very recently,” he said. Newer ships, he said, can cut down on noise pollution considerably.

Kitimat’s Almeida joins U16 Team BC for Games

Cameron Orr Kitimatian Justin Almeida continues his rise in hockey ranks with placement on the U16 Team BC, which will be competing in the Canada Winter Games in Prince George next year. BC Hockey released the team roster last Tuesday, which included Almeida with 20 others. Goalie Dorrin Sekikawa-Luding is the closest other team member geographically, hailing from Prince George. “The Team BC evaluation staff has put on thousands of miles and countless hours to get to this place in our journey, but after looking at our

completed roster, I am extremely excited at challenge that lies ahead,” said Team BC head coach Jim Dinwoodie. “Hearing the excitement in the boys’ voices after making the calls today makes the whole process worth it.” Almeida already made headlines this year when in July Hockey Now magazine named him the Minor Hockey Player of the Year. Team BC male will compete in the second week of competition at the Canada Winter Games. The competition will begin on February 22, 2015 culminating into the Gold Medal Game on March 1, 2015.

Province offering $10 mil pipeline benefit Rod Link First Nations stand to earn millions from having natural gas pipelines cross over their traditional territories from northeastern gas fields to liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants on the coast. So far the province is offering $10 million per year for each of four natural gas pipeline routes now being planned to be divided up among applicable First Nations once those pipelines are in operation. It’s also offering signing bonuses and pipeline construction milestone payments to those same First Nations. Speaking last week, provincial natural gas development minister Rich Coleman said the provincial money is intended as one way for First Nations to benefit from what could be a significant industrial base for decades. “The First Nations side is coming along very well,” said Coleman of the provincial monetary package being offered as part of the province’s overall LNG strategy. The Nisga’a Nation, using its 2000 land claims agreement with the federal and provincial govern-

But if the Nisga’a are to receive ceive from the pipeline as it crosses $6 million for the 83 kilometres of through Nisga’a Lands.

First Nations who wish to receive a signing bonus must sign a benefits agreement by June 30, 2015 or risk losing their eligibility, says the province. “[But] they would still be eligible for construction milestone payments,” adds the province in background information. June 30, 2015 is also a key date to decide on how to divide up the $10 million being offered in annual payments for each of the pipelines which to go into service. For now the province is leaving that up to the First Nations over whose territories the pipelines would cross. “However, if no agreement can be made between eligible First Nations by June 30, 2015, the province will decide on allocation,” reads the provincial background information.

Paying the piper You know, I’m just not sure. Alberta Premier Jim Prentice was in Vancouver the other week talking about pipelines — including bitumen pipelines — as important “nation building” projects that will mean the difference between a nation of wealth and prosperity and a world where seniors are left to fend for themselves in a post-apocalyptic “Mad Max”-type scenario. Prentice didn’t actually say that, that’s really my own colourful interpretation, but he did say that pipelines are important to feed the revenue of social programs, including health care for seniors. And Canadians could “feel the pain” in the absence of energy projects, not as a threat but as a warning that there will be impacts to not finding outlets to our natural resources. That leads me to my uncertainty in the first line of this piece. Because honestly, he is, at least partly, right. Industrial development, including pipelines, will provide a revenue that will keep the government humming. And I don’t doubt that eventually our country’s transportation capacity will fall to our potential output, which will hurt our oil value. But then I see a report on the CBC’s website which highlights a report from Clean Energy Canada that says employment in renewable energy initiatives is outpacing employment in the oil sands. From that aspect it seems renewables are a bright spot in our economic future. Yet, even as renewables may go a long way towards our own country’s future, it’s hard to ignore the revenue potential from exporting oil. We can’t ship wind-power and earn what we could with the fossil fuels. (Also, I’m confident someone will start calling it “legacy fuel” any day now.) That’s really what keeps the natural gas prospects relatively positive in B.C., it’s a fossil fuel but burns fairly cleanly. It will have a better impact on air quality than sending more raw oil products overseas. Really, if Prentice is trying to sell the country on oil pipelines, he should broaden his scope and talk about things like refineries. I won’t talk much about particular plans for refineries — and I’ll just have to add the usual disclaimer that a proponent for a refinery in the Kitimat area shares his namesake with the company I work for, Black Press — but if refineries start becoming a real part of the discussion we’ll see development move far faster than pipelines have been going so far on their own. And just to end, I do have to have a bit of a chuckle when Prentice calls energy development “nation building,” given how divisive the question of pipelines is, especially in Kitimat.

Headlines to leave you speechless Every once in a while a less-thanepic news headline jumps out at you and leaves you speechless. Of course, the speechless effect doesn’t last long. It happened to me on Monday last week and I very quickly went back to read the story under the headline; “Ottawa priest who stole more than $130,000 from church, welcomed back after release from jail.” It was a longish story from the National Post, and frankly, I was surprised by the accompanying public comments, which ran the gamut from inflammatory to overwhelming forgiveness and “welcome back,” as the headline suggested. The story was about a popular Catholic priest, Father Joseph LeClair, who had been sentenced in March to one year in jail for theft and fraud. Father LeClair, a diagnosed pathological gambler and heavy drinker, pleaded guilty to defrauding Ottawa’s Blessed Sacrament Church of the money over the course of five years. Over time, about $1.16 million had been deposited into LeClair’s personal bank account, including roughly $400,000 that could not be explained. He had also been charged with breach of trust and laundering the proceeds of

Under Miscellaneous by Allan Hewitson ahewitson@telus.net

crime, but those charges were dropped. He served two-thirds of his sentence and was to be released on Nov. 18 on “earned remission,” after which he will be on probation for a year. In fact, LeClair was released earlier, on Nov. 9, after he was granted a temporary absence. The prosecution had requested a minimum 18 months sentence in court, while LeClair’s defence wanted a two year conditional sentence of community service. Literally, I don’t get this. His parishioners were certainly split at the time but that seems to have faded. The Church did not fire him, and from what I can see he has been welcomed back to resume his duties with the support of a large number of the parishioners. Forgive and forget clearly works for some. Turn the other cheek? No, no, really, I don’t get it. By the way, further

research shows the church received half a million dollars in donations and received more than $300,000 in insurance so its financial affairs “are back in order,” according to CBC. The faithful come through as Father LeClair is back. With this “feel good” pre-Christmas story behind me, what else is happening? Just caught a commercial on Global TV - on Wednesday, December 3, at 12:25 p.m., “...act soon, Black Friday sale must come to an end shortly...” I guess that makes sense almost a week later. Oh, and Environment Canada says this winter will be shorter and warmer than last year. Also on December 3, on Environment Canada’s 2014-15 outlook. Yes, the news is good. Canadians can expect a milder and shorter winter than last year. Say goodbye to the reign of the polar vortex. “Not as long and as brutal a winter as we had last year … for all Canadians,” according to senior climatologist, David Phillips. “We won’t have to be migrating and hibernating like we did last year.” Continued on page 8

Weather you believe the Almanac or not Yes, it’s time again for the traditional look ahead at what we can expect in terms of the weather as forecast by the Old Farmer’s Almanac. Last month Jack Frost nipped at our noses with a couple of brilliantly sunny, sub-zero spells followed by last week’s first measurable snow. Is that a warning of what’s to come when winter gets serious? The ancient agrarian says not really. The rest of this month is supposed to be a bit warmer than usual with about average precipitation. That translates into a back and forth between showers and flurries/ light snow with a chance of real snow late in the month. The question is will it come in time to

give us a white Christmas? January will be pretty average in terms of temperatures and precipitation and start out more wet than white. Cooler weather in week two will bring enough snow to put a smile on the faces of cross-country and downhill skiers/boarders. But it then warms up bringing a mix of snow and rain which will last the rest of the month. February will open mild and sunny

but week two will see mainly rain. Expect a sharp cold snap in week three but then the clouds will move back in, again giving us a mix of white and wet for the rest of the month. Old Man Winter has one last kick at the can in March with cool temperatures prevailing and sunny weather at the beginning and end of the month bookending two weeks of rain or snow. It looks like Spring is going to be a bit late next year

as cool temperatures continue to dominate in April. On the upside we should see a fair bit of sunshine between the showers. May opens with cool, showery weather but sunny and warm conditions take hold in week two. Then it is back to cool and showery before sunny and very warm weather closes out the month - good news for gardeners. June won’t be able to make up its mind as it alternates between cool and showery and sunny and warm. The plus is overall temperatures will be above and precipitation below normal. The next big question is whether, after two excellent summers, we will see the hatrick? The Old Farmer

says it will be excellent for the July 1 festivities and temperatures will continue to climb through week two with only a few showers. It then cools off and gets damper but the final week sees a return to sunny, warm weather. Unfortunately August will not be able to quite match that run. After a showery opening we will see sunny “nice” conditions to mid-month then it’s back to cool, showery weather and, after a few sunny days, rain to close it out. Fall arrives in September with showers but it looks like there is a chance of the Fish Derby being held under sunny skies. Week two is going

Bill seeks to prevent LNG lines from being converted Chris Gareau The day after the province issued environmental assessment certificates to two liquefied natural gas (LNG) pipelines planned for northern B.C. and an LNG export facility in Prince Rupert, Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson put forward a bill that would forbid the Oil and Gas Commission from allowing LNG pipelines to be converted for oil or bitumen transport. Donaldson said if the bill passed, it would apply to all pipelines in B.C., including those already built. “I think [companies] should be made to go back to the environmental assessment process if they’re going to change its use to oil, and if that becomes the will of the people, if there’s social license, then the bill can be amended... but right

Hospital benefits from piano find Submitted We’ve all heard the saying “one person’s junk is another person’s treasure”. This is indeed true this Christmas season. During the recent furniture swap, coordinated by the Kitimat Chamber of Commerce, an unknown individual left an old upright piano in front of the former Humane Society building for the swap. Upon hearing about it, Kitimat General Hospital Foundation (KGHF) Chair Corinne Scott checked it out and received permission from Jonathan Cooper, the hospital’s administrator, to have it installed in the lobby at the hospital. This old unwanted upright became a ‘treasure’ to be used to lift people’s spirit during the Christmas Coffee House hosted by the KGHF each December, as well as being available for recitals throughout the rest of the year. Al Goodwin volunteered to restore the

Cougar attacks dog A man escaped a cougar attack but lost his dog to the big cat out at Lakelse Lake. “He had been walking it (chocolate lab) in the picnic site there along the beach,” said conservation officer Gareth Scrivner on Dec. 1. “He turned around and saw four feet behind his dog a full-sized cougar pretty much tailing them the whole way. He got pretty much halfway back to his vehicle and he couldn’t scare it off and it wasn’t really showing any signs of fear. It took down his dog right in front of him, a full grown 10-year-old lab.” The big cat had carried the dog back where it came from to the far side of the parking lot and into the trees.

The Kitimat General Hospital now has a resident piano to be used during recitals and the annual coffee house fundraiser for the hospital foundation. piano’s tired face to its former glory. After much careful, painstaking work, the piano has received its facelift and been rejuvenated. The tone of the piano is resonating and beautiful, so an internet search was conducted to see if the

history of this lovely old lady could be discovered. It has been determined that it was built approximately in 1914 by the Columbus Piano Co. in Columbus, Ohio and is called “The Boudoir Piano,” due to its smaller size. It has a scale of

6 1-3 octaves, D to F, with 76 notes. The case is made of mahogany with a special spherical built-up sounding board, with a tone sustaining acoustic rim. This is what provides the resonating sound. It is only 4’ 2” high x 4’ 2” long, with a depth of 2’.

Similar reconditioned pianos have sold for thousands of dollars. Bandstra Transportation graciously agreed to move the piano from the Furniture Swap site to the hospital in time for KGHF’s Christmas Coffee House on December 3.

Surplus won’t go to social spending Tom Fletcher Premier Christy Clark and her ministers are fending off calls to increase spending on pressing social priorities as the financial picture brightens for the B.C. government. With the bills tallied for the first half of the fiscal year, the province is forecasting a surplus of $444 million by next spring, about twice as much as was projected in last February’s budget. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the improvement was helped by a strengthening U.S. economy, despite commodity slumps that have produced declining lumber and coal revenues. Both de Jong and Clark said their highest priority is to repay about $5 billion in debt accumulated during a string of deficits before the budget was balanced in 2013. “Like any family that’s been through tough times, the first thing you need to do when you get back to finding a job and making an income again, is to pay off your credit cards,” Clark said in an interview. “We’re going to pay off these credit cards that got charged up after 2008 pretty heavily.” NDP children and family critic Carole James said the government has achieved surpluses with the help of increases to medical premiums, ferry fares, BC Hydro rate increases and other charg-

Kitimat holds claim to Boston beanpot champion Hockey may be big in Canada, but in the U.S. northeast it is bigger than big. In Boston, otherwise known as Beantown, it is supreme and they take their hockey very seriously. In Massachusetts and the Boston area there are four colleges - Boston University, Northeastern University, Harvard and Boston College - that compete in the College Hockey Beanpot Tournament. In Boston it is as big as the Stanley Cup and has been running for the past six decades, beginning in 1952. There were always fanatic, sell-out crowds and the favourite was usually Boston University, which in the 1970s had won seven out of ten Beanpot Championships. Throughout the Beanpot’s history until 1980, the perennial underdogs were the Northeastern University Huskies - they always lost. But that all changed in 1980 when coach Fern Flaman, a former Boston Bruin player and NHL hall of famer, teamed up with an unassuming star from Kitimat. Wayne Turner grew up in a hockey family in a hockey town. He and brother Dale were born in Athabasca, Alberta but spent most of their formative years in Kitimat. Brother Dale, the eldest, paved the way for Wayne. Dale was one fine hockey player, going on to star with B.C.’s Kelowna Buckaroos and the Penticton Broncos. Both brothers benefitted greatly from having good coaches in their youth, Bill Flounders and Morley Mazurak being two of them. Wayne had many friends both on and off the ice. Playing with him in Kitimat in the early years were the likes of Robin Lapointe, Henry Kurbel, Doug Linton and Bruce Drummond.

Joey Atamanchuk was of his closest friends. In his senior rep days Wayne’s teammates included Brad Mazurak, Chris Dennil, one

Denton Bailey, Ian Dennison, Drew Wallace, Robin Hoffas, Ernie Markwart, Mark Hammerquist, Darrel Ferner, Doug Linton, Dave Barclay, Dave Bloomfield and Bruce Drummond. Through Wayne’s teenage years he was always a Kitimat rep team star. Eventually he moved over to the AJHL in Alberta, playing for coach Doug Messier and the Spruce Grove Mets.

In his 1976 season, two of his friends and teammates were Mark and Paul Messier, the coach’s sons. Doug was a great influence who helped advance Wayne’s career. Wayne, a talented student both on and off the ice, was awarded a full athletic scholarship to attend Northeastern University in far off Boston, playing for coach Flaman.

Wayne adjusted to university life in Massachusetts and there was steady improvement in his skills and, as a result, the success of his hockey over the first three seasons Wayne was there. His stats as a forward spoke for themselves - 108 points and 51 goals scored, good for 12th in all-time scoring for the Huskies at the time. Continued on page 8

Beanpot

Continued from page 7 When 1980 rolled around the Huskies were actually contenders for the championship. In that Beanpot they knocked off perennial favourite Boston University in a thrilling 6-5 overtime victory in which Wayne scored two goals. And in the finals they faced formidable Boston College who had a hot goaltender in Bob O’Connor. It was tied after regulation time and it was Kitimat’s Wayne who scored the big overtime goal that catapulted him into hockey immortality. Even to this day, nearly 35 years later, Beanpot Turner is a legend. If you were to Google him you would get numerous hits and stories with pictures and even videos. Wayne’s glory goal was the collegiate equivalent of Paul Henderson’s overtime goal against the Russians and it set off a buzzer that was heard clear around New England. Wayne’s hockey stardom earned him many accolades: he is in the Great Book of Boston Lists, the Beanpot Hockey Hall of Fame and Northeastern University Hall of Fame. He still lives in the Boston area, now working in the Human Resources Department at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T). Some of Wayne’s Kitimat-days colleagues would not even know of his fame - his modesty was such that he would not be the one to tell others of his successes. After Northeastern, Wayne gave up hockey, becoming a nationally-ranked rac-

quetball player and subsequently an avid squash enthusiast. Wayne Turner from Kitimat is another of our home grown talents who has gone on to fame and success in the wider world.

Mayor’s comments at the starting line Following the new council’s swearing in, Mayor Phil Germuth took a minute to express a few words of thanks to the community. “To my fellow councillors, today we start our four year journey of working together, serving our community

to the best of our ability and for the well-being of our citizens,” he began, before also praising the city’s administration for their work, and to the city workers themselves for their “constant dedication.” Germuth also noted the large voter

turnout in the elections and showed appreciation of the trust and confidence the turnout indicated. The task now, he said, is to build trust and relationships with the Haisla, neighbouring communities and all levels of government.

Petronas puts plans on pause Tom Fletcher Malaysian oil and gas giant Petronas has put off its final investment decision on a large-scale liquefied natural gas project until some time in 2015, but it’s not because of B.C.’s taxes and conditions, says Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman. Pacific Northwest LNG, a consortium led by Petronas for a pipeline and terminal at the Prince Rupert port, issued a statement December 3 citing construction costs and federal approvals it still needs for a pipeline and plants worth $36 billion. “Costs associated with the pipeline and LNG facility remain challenging and must be reduced further before a positive final investment decision can be undertaken,” the statement says. “...Pacific Northwest LNG will continue to work to secure necessary regulatory and other approvals.”

Kitimat’s Anne Berrisford carried the Canada Games’ Roly McLenahan Torch for its relay through Terrace last Saturday, but she got some practice first during a visit by the torch and Games mascot Nanguz on Thursday, December 4 for an Illuminate the North event, an event done in partnership with Northern Health.

Rupert to get air study The provincial government will be spending $500,000 to determine what impact industrial development in the Prince Rupert area could have on air quality in the region. The Ministry of Environment issued a request for proposal for the study on Dec. 2, with a Jan. 2 closing date. The study is to include the potential of seven LNG terminals, a proposed oil refinery, existing and proposed development through the Prince Rupert Port Authority, gas turbine powered electrical generation facilities and marine and rail transportation related to those industries. As well as looking at the impact to the environment, the study is to examine potential health risks to resident and effects to water, soil and vegetation. The successful bidder will be required to complete the study and have a final report to the government by May 15, with conclusions from that report to be used in future environmental assessments, permitting and regulatory decisions within the airshed. North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice said she welcomed news of the upcoming study. “Examining the cumulative impacts of multiple industrial projects in the Prince Rupert area

is necessary for well-planned development so this good news,” she said. “As these types of reports are highly technical, my hope is that when complete it is presented in such a way that the public can be well informed about potential impacts and what steps can be taken to mitigate or reduce environmental impact, and risks to human health.” - The Northern View

Movember FINDING CANCER EARLY – WHAT MEN NEED TO KNOW. It’s an unfortunate fact that many men don’t like to be told to go to the doctor to talk about how they feel or go for tests when they feel just fine. To some men that’s just going to look for trouble. But did you know that thousands of men beat cancer every year because they’ve seen their doctor for a routine checkup, reported a change in to their body or talked to their doctor about tests to find

cancer early? According to the Canadian Cancer Society, when cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, treatment is often simpler and more likely to be successful. Finding cancer early means there is less chance the disease has spread to another part of the body, and when you find cancer early, you have a better chance of surviving.

its own – I’ll just tough it out for a little longer.” Many people hope that a change will just go away. Weeks may go by, but the health issue is still around. If it doesn’t go away quickly, you need to tell your doctor about it. “There’s no way I have cancer because no one in my family has ever had it.” Cancer can happen to anyone at any age. If you’re the first person in your family with cancer, give yourself the best chance for survival by getting it diagnosed early. “If I get cancer, I get cancer. There’s nothing I can do about it.” Finding cancer early is the best thing you can do. Give yourself a fighting chance to treat it – and stop it.

John hn Arn Arnold Arno nold

November 28, 19 1934 to November em 27, 2014 John passed away peacefully on the morning of November 27, 2014, one day short of his 80th birthday. Left to mourn him are his wife Norma of 33 years and all of his family. John was predeceased by his parents, Christina and John Arnold and his brother Solomon. John came to Canada from Hungary with his parents and brother in 1953, starting off in Picture Butte, Alberta and then moving to Lethbridge in 1954, helping his dad to do roofing and odd jobs. In May 1956 he moved to Kitimat and started work with Alcan straight away and stayed with them for 39 years until he retired in 1994. John was an avid hunter and fisherman and loved the outdoors. John was also an Elk for several years. The last two years of his life were spent in Mountainview Lodge where he was very well looked after by all the staff. The family wish to THANK all the staff at Multi Level Care. It was John’s wish that there would be no funeral. He was cremated and his ashes will be taken to Lethbridge at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to: Elks and Royal Purple Fund for Children #100 - 2629 29th Ave. Regina, Saskatchewan S4S 2N9

St. Anthony’s choir sings Christmas tunes to a crowd at Kitimat General Hospital for the Hospital Foundation’s annual coffee house fundraiser. Foundation Chair Corinne Scott says the coffee house raised $2,035 towards their goal of purchasing IV infusion pumps.

Accidental high beams lead to tailgating motorist November 24 At 5:46 p.m. the RCMP were called on a complaint of tailgating. A motorist said they had accidentally high-beamed another car and that vehicle subsequently tailgated them. Patrols for the vehicle were unsuccessful. November 25 At 1:30 a.m. police were waiting for a tow truck to take away a vehicle being driven by a person with no valid driver’s licence. A person arrived to pick up the vehicle’s occupants but RCMP noted signs of impairment from the

person and that person subsequently blew two “warn” signs on a roadside screening device, leading to an immediate three day driving prohibition. November 26 Police were called to a collision near the Kitimat Modernization Project camp entrance at 12:50 p.m. Police found a northbound vehicle on the road had rear ended another vehicle stopped at the lights. The three people in the vehicle which was rear ended were taken to the Kitimat General Hospital. Both vehicles had to

be towed, and a ticket was issued to the northbound vehicle for driving without consideration. Police were called for a panic alarm at a local business. An employee reported than an ex-boyfriend had shown up, despite a probation order and recognizance of bail. The 45-year-old male was arrested on police arrival and remanded in custody. November 27 Police are investigating threatening voicemails received by a KMP supervisor from a recently termi-

Police Beat nated employee. November 28 Police could not find the suspect vehicle after a complainant called to say they have been passed by another vehicle on a double solid line on Highway 37 near Hirsch Creek. November 29 Police were called to Nechako Centre on a report of mischief, the caller saying that overnight someone had torn down some Christmas

decorations. Police are looking through video surveillance. November 30 Police are investigating an alleged fight at the Kitimat Hotel. At 4:02 a.m. a male could found with a gash on the back of his head and a cut under his eye. The male was taken to the hospital for treatment. Police say it seemed a fight broke out on the dance floor. At 1:37 p.m. an officer conducted a traffic stop and found the driver of the vehicle was flagged as a prohibited driver. The

Kitimat cold weather shelter moves to Baptist church The co-managers for the Kitimat cold weather shelter at Mountainview Alliance Church have gotten their wish,

with the shelter being re-located to the First Baptist Church on Columbia Avenue. They had said earlier they would prefer that site due to its more central location in the community. The shelter still runs 8 p.m.

to 8 a.m., seven days a week. The managers had said the facility is open to anyone, while they are hoping to focus more on men, given the limited options for men’s shelter. People can call the Child Development Centre for information at 250-632-3144.

42-year-old Kitimat male faces charges of diving while prohibit-

ed, and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.

Invitation for new members This provided image shows what the gas turbine looks like from GE Oil & Gas.

LNG Canada chooses GE turbines for plant Cameron Orr GE Oil & Gas announced last week that LNG Canada will be using a high-efficiency, low emission gas turbine for power production for its proposed liquefaction plant. A news release from GE said the technology chosen is cost effective and is designed to handle loads of typical LNG compressors.

LNG Canada said their choice will keep fuel use low and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. LNG Canada has also recently announced an agreement with BC Hydro where about 20 per cent of their operations — not relating to the liquefaction process — would be provided by the provincial power utility.

Rio Tinto Alcan wishes to expand the membership of its Public Advisory Committee.

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

Demons close weekend with win Cameron Orr The Kitimat Ice Demons just squeaked by with a win against the Prince Rupert Rampage on November 29. The Demons wrapped up their match 5-4 to the Rampage, even as the Rampage spent the better part of the third period rapidly gaining on the Demons’ early lead. The Ice Demons opened up scoring late in the first period with a goal by Jeremy Brady. Prince Rupert tied it up again near the end, but the Demons pushed hard in the second period to give a substantial 4-1 lead. The first two minutes of the third saw the Rampage and the Demons each scoring, before the Rampage concluded with two more goals minutes later. That 5-4 lead by the Demons was held from then on until the end. The win came on the heels of

an Ice Demons loss to the Terrace River Kings the night before on home ice. The match was notably rougher with 73 minutes of penalties being handed out over the evening. The River Kings got an early lead with a goal just 30 seconds into the first period with a shot by Chapen Leblond. The Ice Demons worked back up to tie the game by the end of the first 2-2, but let go of that lead in the second and had it slip just out of grasp, with Rajan Sangha earning Terrace’s sixth and final goal for the night in the third, ending it 6-4. The Kitimat team next faces the Terrace River Kings and the Smithers Steelheads on the December 12 and 13 weekend, in two away games. The next home game is December 27 against the Prince Rupert Rampage.

The Kitimat Ice Demons face the Prince Rupert Rampage where they eventually won 5-4. The game follows a match with the Terrace River Kings the evening before on home ice which went to the Kings 6-4.
