47 townhomes allowed in new zoning Cameron Orr It may have been a slimmed down version of what the proponents were originally looking for but the Riverbrook Estates project received its zoning changes approved last week.

Kerkhoff Construction was originally seeking to build a 217 living units area, at the back end of Liard Street, but based on community concern about density reduced their proposal to 199 units.

Even so, that wasn’t quite enough to make people happy and the proponent eventually cut their rezoning application in half, which will allow for a first wave of townhouse construction, along with single family homes which the property is already zoned for.

The new rezoning allows for 47 townhouses, or ‘multi-family’ developments.

Leonard Kerkhoff had maintained throughout the lengthy rezoning process, which began last summer, that the buildings would be built only when there was proof of a market. Basically, if no one was going to buy them, they wouldn’t build them.

Still, reducing the scope of their zoning application will give council more control on how that property develops in the future.

A proposal for two apartment buildings, one operated by BC Housing, is still in the air at the moment.

With the application reduced so much there was not much further opposition to the project ahead of final adoption, although there was comments from retired firefighter Rick Thompson regarding a fire hydrant which, with the new development, could become inaccessible or be removed entirely, which may limit the fire department in that area.

Fire Chief Trent Bossence later explained to the Sentinel that his own understanding is that the fire hydrant in that area was already deemed, by past fire chiefs, to not be needed and was already slated for removal, although the work has not yet been done.

As for fire access, Bossence said he and the District of Kitimat building department will be evaluating the need for that hydrant, and fire department access in general will also be reviewed, and any recommendations will be forwarded to the developers.

Other Kerkhoff developments in Kitimat includes the proposal for the Haisla Town Centre at the former hospital site on Haisla Boulevard.

Kitimat’s New Year baby arrived on January 4. Julia Reay Hales was welcomed at 1:24 a.m., to parents Martin Hales and Amy Slanina. Julia will certainly be looked out for by big brother Caleb as well. The family emphasized their thanks to Dr. Huang and to the maternity nurses.

Winterfest back, even if Rail Jam isn’t As of Friday, organizers for the Rail Jam event, which was scheduled for January 23, have cancelled it, due to lack of snow.

“It’s only two weeks away and looking at the forecast they’re calling for way more rain,” said Rail Jam committee member Trish Parsons. “We just don’t have enough snow to do a decent snow pile.”

Even so, the Winterfest celebration, which had been organized in tandem with Rail Jam, will go on.

For the second year

of Winterfest’s return, Kitimatians will again get a taste of the francophone culture, with a traditional brunch and live music.

A F F N O ’ s (L’Association des Francophones et Francophiles du NordOuest) Executive Director Patrick Witwicki, based in Prince Rupert, has been working with volunteers and organizers in Kitimat to make this year’s event an even greater step above last year’s.

The Winterfest will begin with a ‘kick-

off social’ at Rosario’s Restaurant on January 22 at 7 p.m. This free event will essentially be an introduction to Winterfest activities, a chance for people to learn about what it is, and a chance to enjoy some acoustic music.

A Winterfest Brunch is set to take place at noon at the Riverlodge on January 24, which will include traditional Quebec foods.

“Anyone who hasn’t gone [to the brunch] is truly missing out. The food is ridiculous,” Witwicki

said, meaning of course in a good way.

They use real maple syrup in their recipes and the food is made from scratch, and that includes meat pies and sugar pies, and beans in maple syrup, he said.

Witwicki adds it will be a nice family event with activity stations for kids, and they’ll offer the toffee on the snow as well, which is a kid favourite.

Even with Rail Jam cancelled, there will be an ‘after party’ at the Legion on January 23.

A cover charge for that event will be required, and will feature the Hazelton band Axes of Ego. Witwicki said he is extremely thankful for the Kitimat-based people who have helped develop activities this year for Winterfest.

“We are confident that’s going to just be one reason of many why this year is going to be better attended and better in general than last year.”

Last year’s events was the first Winterfest following a multi-year hiatus in Kitimat.

Police Beat

Family gets help after losing way on trail December 29 A woman called the RCMP at 5:30 p.m., saying she and others, including two adults, a four year old and a 13 year old, were lost in an area of the Fisherman’s trail and Coho Flats trail.

An officer went to the Rod and Gun Club and hiked to the riverbank, where the lost hikers could be seen about one kilometre away. A member of Kitimat’s Search and Rescue was called out as well and

the family was located at 6:30 p.m., and escorted out of the trail.

Some downed trees and darkness contributed to the group becoming lost.

December 30 At 7:48 p.m., the RCMP attended to a complaint of fireworks being set off at Nechako Elementary. Police conducted patrols but could not find people setting off fireworks.

December 31 At 4:45 p.m. police attended to a mi-

nor collision on Haisla Boulevard at Lahakas Boulevard. The officer on arrival noted symptoms of impairement on one of the drivers.

The person failed a roadside screening device, and the 29-yearold resident of Houston, B.C., received a 90-day driving suspension and a 30-day vehicle impound.

At 11:59 p.m. police were alerted to an intoxicated person walking north on the highway towards Ter-

race, near the Kitimat Air Park. The person said he had left a house party and was walking to his home in Thornhill. Police encouraged the person to return to the house, which the person did, with a drive back in to town by the police.

January 1 At 1:08 a.m. police were called to a nuisance complaint caused by an intoxicated person on Lahakas Boulevard. The person voluntarily poured

out his beers and was found to be able to care for himself. He was escorted to a co-worker’s residence, as he does not live in town.

January 2 At 10:34 p.m. police were called on a break and enter to a business on Industrial Avenue. Two suspects entered the business by breaking the glass door. The suspects stole a 60-inch Samsung LED smart television. Police continue to investigate.

January 3 At 5:25 a.m. police were called to a single vehicle collision just north of the Kitimat River Bridge on the highway. The vehicle received significant damage but the driver only received minor injuries. Police say road conditions were a factor and Nechako

Property sales decline 2014 For the B.C. Northern Real Estate Board’s year-end report, it found fewer homes, and fewer dollars, were exchanged in 2014.

They say for Kitimat, 146 properties, in total worth $41.6 million, changed hands.

In 2013 that was 234 properties, worth $56.9 million.

That’s an approximately 26 per cent drop in the total value of sales.

The median value of a single family home, they say, is $323,000.

In addition to those sales they say 16 half-duplexes were sold, while 27 townhouses were sold.

By the close of 2014, 94 properties were for sale, of all types, which compares to the 23 for sale as 2013 came to a close.

Meanwhile in Terrace, 351 properties sold last year worth $87.3 million.

The year before, 384 were sold, worth $87.8 million.

In Prince Rupert, 289 properties changed hands in 2014 worth $63.2 million, while in 2013 it was 384 properties worth $55 million.

That makes Prince Rupert the only Northwest town, among the three, which saw an increase in sales from 2013 to 2014, despite a decrease in value.

RDKS

The Regional District of KitimatStikine (RDKS) is the new owner of its very own office building as it recently closed a deal to purchase the $2,600,000 fourstorey building at the corner of Lazelle and Atwood in Terrace, where it currently rents an office for its headquarters.

Currently there are two other tenants in the building which has been the home of the RDKS for 27 years and who will now pay rent to the RDKS. They include the Ministry of Children and Family Development and the BC Assessment offices.

According to RDKS spokesperson Robert Marcellin. Marcellin, one of the main reasons for going ahead with the purchase was because the RDKS operations had outgrown the space it was currently leasing. Purchasing the building means having other floors to expand into and a number of parking lots.

Rupert port The Port of Prince Rupert’s run of recordbreaking years came to an end in 2014.

All told, cargo through terminals located on Prince Rupert Port Authority land fell by 10.33 per cent last year, dropping from a record of just shy of 23 million tonnes in 2013 to 20.6 million tonnes at the end of December.

The largest year-toyear decline came from Ridley Terminals Inc. which, amid a drop in energy prices, saw its overall tonnage drop from a record of 12 million tonnes last year to just over 7.1 million tonnes this year – a drop of 41.09 per cent.

Thermal coal movement through the terminal was down 46.25 per cent, metallurgical coal was down 42.9 per cent.

Cameron Orr A request to give a tax write-off to a trailer on a pad at the Vista Village Trailer Park was put on temporary hold, at least until council could receive written reports on the matter.

Housing resource worker Paul Lagace encouraged council not to rush in to granting the request, which amounts to $1,373.84.

The District Treasurer Steve Christiansen, in his report to council, said it would not be economic to take the property to a tax sale, and court action would likely be more cost than they could recover.

However, Lagace said this specific trailer has a history which ties in to the larger issues he’s seen at the trailer court.

In the October 1, 2014 Sentinel, we reported on a number

of problems facing residents at the park, which were extreme enough to push residents to form a tenancy association.

In this particular case relating to the tax write off, he said the landlord took possession of the trailer under a technicality.

Pad rentals were overdue, but the notice was addressed to the trailer’s previous owner, whose name was apparently still attached to it. The current owner did not respond to the notice, and an arbitrator for the residential tenancy branch issued the order of possession in favour of the landlord.

That leads to the request for the tax write-off, which is necessarily before the landlord can have the trailer demolished.

Christiansen told council that the trailer is livable, but in poor shape.

Strong start to Shames shuttle Cameron Orr “We were The Shames Mountain Ski Hill opening pretty happy received a late start this with that year which cut down [turnout].” by half the initial run of town shuttles, but the early uptake by the community has been good.

The District of Kitimat in late 2014 began offering an occasional Saturday shuttle up to the Terrace ski hill, which is paid for by $15,000 of seed money, which is the amount the town had historically provided to the co-op for the ski hill’s direct use.

Council decided getting Kitimatians to the ski hill was a greater benefit than sending that money straight to Terrace.

Shuttle coordinator Cori Boguski says the first trip, on December 30, saw 16 riders, plus chaperones, and the second run on January 3 saw 12.

Riders have to pre-register about a day and a half before the ride, and the District requires a sign-up of at least 10 people before it goes.

Boguski said that there are plans to offer further trips than the initially scheduled four, and a schedule will be made available shortly.

“Our minimum is 10, so we were pretty happy with that [turnout],” she said. “I think we’ll get some more people because the funding has been extended for at least five more trips.”

The service costs $10 for people 18 years and younger, while it’s $15 for people 19 and over.

The bus will also make a stop at the Onion Lake Cross Country Ski Trails if you indicate that is your destination when you register.

The bus used is a 48 passenger charter bus, and the District provides up to three chaperones, depending on how many people register for the ride.

The ski hill had been scheduled to open on December 13 but following heavy rains that week which washed away a lot of their snow, that pushed the opening back over a week.

“It’s livable, the porch to get in to it is unsafe, it should be removed and rebuilt,” he said, also noting signs of deterioration in the ceilings.

“It is not in good shape, it’s getting close to end of life. It is a 70s trailer.”

Christiansen said that from his perspective, with no one living there and taxes unpaid, the question is not about the evictions, but how to effectively deal with the delinquent taxes.

Council moved to table the request until written reports, from Kitimat staff and from Lagace, could be received for them to review.

“My hope is that it will be an opportunity to engage what’s going on here,” Lagace said about what he hopes will come out of this latest discussion.

Viewpoints

Past to present Kitimat is a funny town in some ways.

Lately I’ve been going through old editions of the paper for a planned show we’re doing with the museum, so I’ve continually been finding old stories that consistently remind me of current town issues.

It’s not all been ‘issues’ though. There’s been the fun news bits, like public transit starting in Kitimat on April 22, 1974, or stories about the town zoning for the Cablecar neighbourhood.

But then there’s headlines that strike me as very relatable to today, such as a headline from a 1980 paper which reads “The boom’s begun.”

At this stage in the town’s history it’s hard to say whether the phrase “boom town” is a slogan of pride or a source of eye-rolling, but the notion of ‘boom’ goes back decades and is familiar.

And to note, town historian Walter Thorne, who writes the It’s Our Heritage column, talked about this very boom/bust cycle late last year with a talk at our museum.

There are headlines about proposed ferries to Kitimat, which in this case was also a 1980 headline, but just in the last few years former mayor Joanne Monaghan was trying to champion just such a thing.

Moving closer to today, in 1996 there was a big to-do regarding a plan to build townhouses on Smith Street. Residents were so up-in-arms that they floated the idea of purchasing the land as a group to prevent condominium developments.

If such a story doesn’t remind you of today’s topics, like the Riverbrook Estates reported on our own front page today, then I don’t know what to say.

As for what this all means, it just goes to show how interesting the town is, that we exist in this funny, micro-culture where the same issues can resurface decades after they first came and went.

It really emphasizes that Kitimat, at just over 60 years old, is definitely in a perpetual transitional phase.

Will Kitimat ever escape such a dynamic? Who knows, but I can begin to see why university researchers study us. (I know the Sentinel is part of that research, so hello there to the UNBC researchers who I’m sure are reading this right now.)

One headline I forgot to even mention earlier in this piece is from a 1982 paper with Dome Petroleum looking to open a, what is this? A liquefied natural gas plant. The project, obviously, didn’t come to fruition, but even the project location was familiar, at Bish Cove, where Kitimat LNG is proposed today.

I, as many others, hope for new industries for new employment in Kitimat.

I also wonder though, what headlines we’ll be reading in 30 years in the Northern Sentinel. (Which I can only presume will be beamed directly in to our brains by then) “Boom town begins with robot factory build.”

Or some other thing we’ve all read before.

A sad amount of mayhem to holidays Happy New Year for 2015.

I’ve been out of circulation for two or three weeks with an operation — lower body injury, they’d call it in hockey — but I’m finally back on track. Doesn’t mean I haven’t spent a lot of my rest and recovery time in front of my TV, immersed in dismay about the world’s news over the Christmas and New Year period.

And apart from the “commercial goodwill” of Christmas and New Year, it truly has been a cruel season of death and mayhem, murder, by plane, by ship, by weather and as always, by political or religious extremists and terrorists, breaking it down more simply, by pure intolerance.

Life, it seems, holds little value to some people, particularly the lives of unsuspecting people just minding their own business.

We should make no mistake, there is simply no tolerance for disagreement with some radical religious extremists, at this time, mostly middle-eastern and African Moslems and Islamists.

In the western world (certainly on this side of the Atlantic Ocean) we Canadians tend to pride ourselves on our tolerant attitudes to freedom: freedom of speech, religion, schooling, sexual choice, political expression and in fact our mantra (and that of many parts of

Under Miscellaneous

by Allan Hewitson ahewitson@telus.net

Europe) is the promotion of multiculturalism.

Personally, I think it’s a naive belief that people of radically different ethnic, religious and cultural beliefs can live peacefully together for long.

Canada is a country of immigrants and so we do know that it works in many cases and remains a dangerous failure in others. French-English-Aboriginal divisions were originally our multicultural dilemmas arising from Canada’s efforts to weave its way into the small l and large L Liberal dream of multiculturalism.

As wars came and ended, Canada’s immigration appeal to people in hopeless situations around the world grew.

But, sadly, we also slowly imported many of the elements that made refugees choose immigration over a return to their homelands. Our promised multicultural commitment too often failed to lead to the anticipated ideal melding of cultures that was expected.

Over the years we’ve seen the

small reminders, from the simple debate over hardhats and Mountie hats v turbans, the emergence of the French language police following contentious failed Quebec separation attempts.

After 9/11 mosques were as much targeted for vandalism as Jewish religious institutions years before. Efforts in Quebec to control the attempted spread of Shariah law met mixed success.

If First Nations could have their own version of justice, why not others with different views.

Fast forward, after many more individual warnings and incidents showing home-grown terrorism is now a fact of life. Overseas, after the Iraq and Afghanistan debacles, the suicide bombings and inter-religious intimidation has swelled from Al Queda to the horrific public violence of fundamentalist ISIS and Boko Haram ideology.

Now young Canadians, Britons, Australians, Americans and European residents are choosing to leave behind reasonably normal non-Middle Eastern lives to join the fight for a caliphate in Iraq and Syria as radical Islamists continue their self-declared quest for first regional domination, to be followed as quickly as possible by world domination.

God’s new creation Genesis 1:1: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

On a Sunday in early January 1968 the astronauts aboard Apollo 8 decided they should have a church service, so as their cameras were turned on the moon and 50 million people watched on TV, they began reading from the first chapter of Genesis which opens with those majestic words, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

It was a powerful moment and rightly so, because these opening verses of the Bible give us the account of God’s creative power in creating the universe, the Earth and mankind.

Now, this chapter of God’s Word has taken a lot of abuse over the years, but all you need to do is look at the beauty of creation, see the synchronization and the organization of the universe and you know that an intelligent creative God was behind it, and these first few sentences of Genesis help us meet the engineer who designed them. The second verse of Genesis

Pastor Clint Magnus says, “The Earth was without form and void and darkness was over the face of the deep.”

What strikes you when you read this verse is that God did not create the world to be instantly splendid, in fact the Bible refers to these beginnings in an almost depressing manner using words like, “empty, formless, void and darkness.”

These are words of chaos and hopelessness, but maybe that’s the point. Doesn’t everything start out like that including you and me?

Unfortunately many people today would describe their lives in these terms: empty, void or hopeless.

Well, if that is you or someone you know, there is good news because it is exactly at this point that God begins His work of creation to make a new creation out of us; formless, directionless

lumps of clay.

And in Christ, that is exactly what He does. The Apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come.” How does this happen?

Well, in verse 3 of Genesis, God says, “Let there be light,” and there was light.”

On the first day there was light, not the sun and the moon, that would come on the fourth day, just light.

Jesus said in the Gospel of John, “I am the light of the World. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”

Jesus is the light of life that shines into the void of your life. He is the one that brings order out of chaos and gives life.

He is the one who comes to us as lumps

Lieutenant Governor sponsors youth environment program Tom Fletcher Inspired by her holistic ranching background, Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon has launched a province-wide environmental education program for high school teachers and youth leaders.

Stewards of the Future offers grants of up to $800 per group to cover field trips, fees for programs and guess speakers, equipment and teacher release time for projects.

It is offered for students from grades 9-12, First Nations educators, 4-H, Guide and Scout groups and environment clubs, with an application deadline of Jan. 23 for the

spring program.

“Through Stewards of the Future, students will have the opportunity to explore issues that affect the land, water and other natural resources in British Columbia,” Guichon said. “The goal of this program is not to

solve the challenges we face, but rather to encourage open discussion and gain a better understanding of the issues that affect our natural surroundings.”

Program partners, including the education ministry and B.C. Parks, offer

support for projects such as research on invasive species leading to mapping and removal.

The Stewards of the Future toolkit emphasizes hands-on “place-based” experience to appreciate and enhance biodiversity.

DoK to bring back ticket books Cameron Orr Leisure Services is bringing back ticket books for users of recreation facilities in Kitimat.

Now with three readings done ahead of a final adoption, a category called “Economy tickets” has been added to the fee structure, along with single admissions, monthly passes, and so on.

Director of Leisure Services Martin Gould said the plan — which was endorsed by the previous Kitimat Council — was formed after numerous requests were made for such a category by people who use the District’s Leisure Access Program.

The LAP is a program that makes access to recreational facilities in Kitimat more affordable to people who need it.

Entertainment

Concert association opens 2015 with a duo Submitted Christmas is over and the long winter nights are upon us. You deserve a break from the bleak nights and the Kitimat Concert Association has just the thing for you.

On Thursday, January 15 come out and see the fantastic duo of Wolak and Donnelly.

Armed with a clarinet, a piano, and their personable stage presence, Kornel Wolak and Chris Donnelly present a remarkable blend of classical and jazz music rarely heard in live performance.

From revered classical pieces such as Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto in A Major, to Gershwin’s famous Rhapsody in Blue, and Oscar Peterson’s classic Hymn to Freedom, Chris and Kornel captivate audiences with virtuosity, familiar melodies, and a

profound passion for music and performing.

Throughout the program, Chris and Kornel also showcase their talent as solo artists.

Highly praised on two continents for his glorious tone, precise technical control, and musical imagination, Polish-born Kornel Wolak is well on his way to a major career as a soloist and chamber musician.

Canadian-born Chris Donnelly is a Junonominated pianist, composer, and improviser known for his ventures into jazz and classical music.

Kornel Wolak’s artistry has been admired by audiences at over 90 concerts in North America alone.

As a soloist, he has performed with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra, Toronto

Coleman bets on 2015

Cameron Orr The Minister of Natural Gas Development says 2015 is the year.

In a public statement issued last Wednesday, Richard Coleman said that the government is anticipating that companies will begin making their LNG decisions this year.

“After three years of planning, we anticipate British Columbia’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry will take flight in 2015 as leading proponents make final decisions to move forward,” said Coleman, in a written statement.

The company still boasts their estimate of 100,000 new jobs created through the industries.

Kitimat-based projects were among his list of six projects which have received provincial environmental approval.

“We now have 18 proposals for LNG export operations. Provincial Environmental Assessment Certificates have been issued for six LNG projects - the Westcoast Connector Gas Transmission pipeline, the Pacific NorthWest LNG export facility in Port Edward, the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline, the Pacific Trail Pipeline, the Kitimat LNG project in Bish Cove, and Coastal GasLink Pipeline.”

Coastal GasLink is the gas pipeline which would supply the LNG Canada proposed project in Kitimat.

Coleman also says that new drilling in the northeast also shows confidence in long-term natural gas potential in B.C. “While the interest has been tremendous, our goal remains to meet the BC Jobs Plan target of three LNG facilities by 2020. This would increase natural gas production and provincial revenues,” he said.

For Kitimat, the community awaits two major projects, the Kitimat LNG project, which is undergoing a partner shuffle with Apache unloading its 50 per cent stake to Australia’s Woodside Petroleum, while Shell-led LNG Canada is going through it’s environmental permit process.

Sinfonietta, Poland’s Poznan Philharmonic Orchestra’s opening 60th season gala concert, the Polish Radio Chamber Orchestra, and Charleston (North Carolina) Symphony Orchestra, amongst others.

He has a return engagement with the Poznan Philharmonic later in 2010.

As a chamber musician, he has appeared with the Wieniawski String Quartet, the Glenn Gould String Quartet, and the Lodos Wind Quintet. His orchestral experience includes regular freelancing with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, as well as other Ontario Orchestras.

Chris Donnelly represents a new generation of jazz pianists, composers and improvisers dedicated to creating programs that are engaging, entertaining and educating. He is continually praised for his virtu-

Getting pumped up

While some economy monitors may be wary of the low cost of oil, which at press time was hovering around $50 a barrel, the price is certainly a benefit to consumers, particularly at the fuel pump line ups. Shown here is the latest price drop at the Husky station on Lahakas Boulevard, which last week dropped to 102.9 cents a litre.

Mayhem Money is clearly no object, although our sluggish economy continues to falter as an important federal election nears.

Canadians are not simply not truly being consulted and indeed know little of how our government intends to present itself in the face of the world’s difficulties.

Perhaps we’ll hear more of the government’s reasoning as the election approaches and perhaps those of us who question many of the decisions that have been made will have an opportunity to demonstrate differing opinions of our role, with their vote.

It would be nice to see some of this ballooning religious intolerance in the middle East take a back seat to dealing with our economic growth so we don’t bankrupt the country as we strive to be world leaders.

Haven’t we seen their movie before?

As the violence spreads, the bombings continue, including now allied air attacks on ISIS, Canada announces, in response to a United Nations appeal, it will welcome an additional 20,000 Syrian refugees.

Not all Canadians agree with the decision, foreseeing more and more intolerance.

Chris Donnelly holds Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from the University of Toronto where he studied with David Braid, Gary Williamson, Paul Read, Kirk MacDonald Alexander Rapoport and Russell Hartenberger.

Upon completing his Masters of Music in Jazz Performance at the University of Toronto, Chris was awarded The Tecumseh Sherman Rogers Graduating Award for students ‘deemed to have the greatest potential to make an important contribution to the field of music.’

Willow Rudiger working on the community garden beds in this 2014 Sentinel photo.

“Just thinking about what do you want to grow, and then from that thinking about what of those things will actually grow well here,” she said, saying people had asked her how to

grow tomatoes and corn. “Well those are the two hardest things to grow in the north.”

That said, with a greenhouse, or just planting indoors at the start, you have a chance.

“The second workshop, in February, the topic will be starting seeds indoors,” she said.

PUBLIC HEARING JANUARY 26

Haisla Town Centre OCP and Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1860, 2014

PUBLIC HEARING JANUARY 20

1015-1050 Alexander Ave Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1861, 2014 What: A public hearing will be held on Tuesday, January 20 at 7:30pm at Council Chambers, 606 Mountainview Square to consider ‘1015-1050 Alexander R3-D Multi-Family Residential Zone Bylaw No. 1861, 2014’.

What is it?

The proposed bylaw changes the zoning of 1015-1050 Alexander Ave. What changes?

Council is considering an application to rezone 1015-1050 Alexander Ave to allow the construction of eight 12-unit apartment buildings, one 5-unit townhouse building, and one 4-unit townhouse building. Total development proposed is 105 units, an increase of 25 from current zoning. To facilitate development, property would be placed in a new zone (R3-D), which would allow for smaller minimum lot area per unit, greater lot coverage, increased Floor Area Ratio, and maximum height of 12 metres. Development proposal would also require decreased minimum lot frontage, relaxation of parking standards, and a front yard variance for one building.

Where is it?

Cameron Orr The Kitimat Minor Hockey Association has been awarded the Pee Wee Tier 3 provincial hockey tournament from BC Hockey.

The event will run from March 14 to 20.

In anticipation of the event, Kitimat minor hockey sought and received a $6,250 grant from the District of Kitimat under their major event sponsorship grant.

The last time a provincial minor hockey tournament was held in Kitimat was in the early 2000s, according to a District of Kitimat staff report to council.

All of council was in favour of providing the event grant to the group, although there was inquiry. New councillor Larry Walker was concerned only in the sense that such a grant would be pre-approving money from next year’s budget which has not been settled yet.

Chief Administrative Officer Ron Poole confirmed it would be, however the tournament would have come and passed before the budget would be adopted this year if the application didn’t come to council for the pre-approval.

The grant was approved unanimously.

Cameron Orr The snow has fallen, better start thinking about gardening.

Willow Rudiger, who is the community garden coordinator for Kitimat Community Services, is planning to launch a monthly gardening workshop, which begins tomorrow at the Seniors Centre.

The event, at 10 a.m., is free for anyone, not just Seniors Centre members.

It will be the first in a series of workshops, and Rudiger says this first event will be to educate people on, basically, how to begin planning their gardens, while also highlighting the successes of the Kitimat community gardens last year.

Last year was the first year for the gardens, which are run by the Kitimat Community Services Society, with the garden beds built on land owned by the Mountainview Alliance Church.

Four of the beds are maintained for the Kitimat Food Share program and she said there were 16 harvests over the growing season. The eight other beds are maintained by 15 other people.

Rudiger says it was a good first year and the plan will be to construct 12 more beds, effectively doubling their capacity, this year to partially meet a substantial waitlist to get in — about 20 or more beds are requested from people.

She says just one person with a garden bed is not returning for this growing season, but with a move to Alberta, it’s understandable the person won’t be able to hold their spot.

There is a lot of potential for expansion, she said, with the land made available by the church.

As for how to approach the upcoming growing season, she says depending on what you’re trying to grow you’ll have to start early.

Gilbert Etienne Brassard February 11, 1935 - December 22, 2014

With deep sadness, we make it known that Gilbert Brassard (Gil) died suddenly and painlessly at his home in Parksville, BC on the morning of December 22, 2014.

Gilbert is survived by his dear wife, Dorothy (Lavoie) whom he deeply loved and cared for during their 57 years of marriage.

Together they embarked on a great adventure leaving their small Saskatchewan farming community of Albertville to help pioneer the west coast town of Kitimat.

They eventually settled in Parksville for an eventful retirement.

Family was most important to Gil and he committed his life to their happiness and well-being. He will be lovingly remembered by his son, Garry (Elaine); daughter, Julie-An (John); treasured grandchildren, Calem Brassard, and Daymon Krotez; brothers, Alfred (Gladys), and Maurice (Therese); sisters, Therese Pellerin, Lorrette Carrier, and Jose Leduc; many nieces and nephews throughout Canada and the US. He was predeceased by his sister, MarieJean Morin and his brother, Aime.

Ever strong, brave, adventurous, gentle, and generous, Gil made friends wherever he went. He greatly contributed to his community through his volunteer service and was always available for friends and neighbours in need. People will remember his easy laughter, his joy in living, and his BIG, kind heart.

Gil left us too soon, and now he becomes part of an everlasting story, part of the many tales he told to all of those he loved.

A Funeral Mass wBT held at 11:00 am on Saturday, January 10th, 2015 at the Church of the Ascension, 887 Wembley Road in Parksville with a reception to follow.

Please email condolences to gdbrassard@shaw.ca.

Gov’t adopts regulations for natural gas pipelines Tom Fletcher The B.C. government has adopted a regulation to prevent natural gas pipelines from being converted to carry oil to the North Coast.

Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman announced the regulation last Tuesday, covering six pipelines proposed to link to liquefied natural gas export facilities in the Prince Rupert, Kitimat and Squamish areas. He said other pipelines could be added if necessary.

The move comes after the Energy East proposal to switch a gas pipeline to carry oil from Alberta to refineries in Quebec and New Brunswick.

Chief Barry Nikal of the Moricetown Indian Band endorsed the new regulation, but other aboriginal leaders and the NDP aren’t satisfied with a cabinet order that could be quickly changed.

Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson says Coleman first promised legislation to prevent oil sands crude from being carried in pipelines built for gas at a public meeting in Moricetown in April 2014. In November, Donaldson presented his own private member’s bill to have the legislature endorse the move, after Coleman said he would use regulation instead.

“We do not want to see this used as an end run by Enbridge Northern Gateway to be using any proposed natural gas pipelines to transmit diluted bitumen from the Alberta tar sands to the North Coast,” Donaldson said.

He was supported

by Wet’suwet’en hereditary chief John Ridsdale, who visited the B.C. legislature before joining anti-oil

pipeline protesters on Burnaby Mountain.

“The proposed routes are actually all in our major spawning beds,” Ridsdale said. “And you’ve got to realize that the water that comes from Wet’suwet’en territory also goes to the Fraser

Doug Donaldson NDP MLA River and to the Skeena River. So what we’re doing is protecting everything on behalf of British Columbians.”

Ridsdale is the highest ranking member of the Tsayu Clan, one of five clans and 38 house territories of the Wet’suwet’en. The

to supply Douglas Channel LNG, a Texas private proposal for Kitimat

Tsayu have rejected both oil and gas pipelines crossing their territory, and another house, the Unist’ot’en, has built a settlement with the help of outside environmentalists in an effort to block any pipeline development.

The regulation prevents the “automatic conversion” of pipelines, Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad said in a statement. It covers the following proposed projects: • Coastal GasLink, to supply the Shell-led LNG Canada project at Bish Cove near Kitimat • Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project, to supply PETRONAS-led Pacific Northwest LNG at Lelu Island • Pacific Trail Pipeline Project, to supply Chevron-led Kitimat LNG • Pacific Northern Gas Looping Project,

• Eagle Mountain Woodfibre Gas Project, an expansion of an existing gas line to

a former pulp mill site near Squamish • West Coast Connector, to supply Prince

Rupert LNG, led by BG Group, which has delayed its decision to proceed.
