Aboriginal claim laid to LNG plant location By Shaun Thomas
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PORT EDWARD - The Lax Kw’alaams First Nation is proceeding with a title action for Lelu Island and Flora Bank to establish existing Aboriginal title to the land, something that band says would obligate the government to seek their consent before proceeding with the Pacific NorthWest (PNW) LNG terminal development. The band says it was opposed to test drilling that began this week and that the terminal itself would not have band support on Lelu Island. “Our traditional law, backed by our scientific reports, has made it clear that Flora Bank cannot be touched by PNW or any other company that propos-
es development. This decision is backed by the community and an alternate site must be found if the project is to proceed,” said Lax Kw’alaams Mayor Garry Reece. “We are open to development, including PNW’s project, but not the way the project is currently constituted. We have serious concerns about Flora Bank and its environmental importance. The project needs to change before its embraced by the Lax Kw’alaams members.” As well as the location of the terminal, Reece said the band has been “extremely concerned with the apathy and indifference shown by the Government of Canada and its delegated body, the Prince Rupert Port Authority” who Reece said has com-
pletely ignored concerns about the terminal’s location. As well, Reece said the current federal and provincial environmental assessments are simply inadequate. “We need a proper process and good science. Lax Kw’alaams requires all projects be reviewed to a standard set by our scientists and experts,” he said. Metlakatla, meanwhile, said it “has a strong interest in any title actions concerning Lelu Island and the Skeena River estuary” and said discussions with the company are ongoing. “Our concerns regarding the environmental impact of PNW project have not been resolved. However, we acknowledge a constructive relationship and that design modifications have been
incorporated as a result of ongoing discussions,” read a statement from the band. “As leaders we have a duty to our children and future generations to fairly and thoroughly assess the potential benefits and impacts of project development in our territory. We will continue to participate in the CEAA process and will ultimately decide whether to support this project based on our rights and titles interest.” While noting geotechnical, environmental and geophysical studies were undertaken after consultation and engagement with First Nations including the Lax Kw’alaams Band, the Prince Rupert Port Authority declined comment on the title claim given that it might end up in the courts.

KITIMAT - Representatives of LNG Canada were on hand to discuss the status of their proposed LNG facility in Kitimat during a well-attended open house and barbecue at the Kitimat Rod and Gun Club September 1
Paving delay is normal By Cameron Orr
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - The manager of Terrace Paving, the contractor in charge of the road work that has been taking place in Kitimat over the past several weeks has said the lengthy delays for motorists is simply a fact of day-time work. He said the alternative would be nighttime paving which would come to a larger cost to the taxpayer. Terrace Paving Manager Mirko Rutar said the work was really a race against the weather given that such work is normally done earlier in the summer but the municipal strike caused delays through the season. “Normally it would be nice not to work in to the rush hour but if your timing is such that you have to get work done with the weather being a factor, so be it,” he said. He also noted the work is done far faster these days than in years passed due to a new asphalt plant in Kitimat, taking a job that would take two weeks worth of work and compressing it to under one week. The subject of traffic control emerged as Kitimatians had to deal with lengthy delays from Haisla Bridge to the City Centre. The community frustration effectively came to a head on Monday, September 14,
as people waiting to leave the Service Centre had to wait upwards of an hour, some say. Among those who said their wait was an hour is city councillor Mario Feldhoff, who encouraged District of Kitimat staff at the September 14 Committee of the Whole meeting to speak to Terrace Paving to ensure the proper practices are in place to spare unnecessary waiting in the future. Rutar said based on conversations with his staff he’s not sure that an hour would have passed for Feldhoff waiting in traffic, but did support the traffic control plans that were in place. “Nothing is perfect from a traffic control point of view,” he said, saying the work involves coordinating a lot of people that are constantly moving, in this case, through three town intersections. Rutar also says motorists themselves need to shoulder some of the responsibility. “People don’t help,” he said. “People go through the site in the morning and they still go back at lunch. Why wouldn’t you take a bagged lunch that day? All my people did...Some common sense sometimes does not prevail.” The company was waiting for another day of good weather to wrap up the bulk of the remaining work, and would also work on some minor patching around town too.

Homeless issue raised
Masonic Hall rezoned for light industrial use
By Shaun Thomas
PRINCE RUPERT - After a lengthy public hearing and no shortage of debate around council chambers, the Masonic Hall has been rezoned to allow for furniture storage for Mackenzie Furniture. The first speaker at the public hearing, which lasted approximately 90 minutes, was Masons treasurer Jim West, who said renting the hall was a necessity for the organization. “We need additional income to maintain the upkeep of the 1930 heritage building ... this is needed for us to keep using that building,” he said, acknowledging the Masons have heard concerns about the proposal. “If we did not think this was a safe and responsible long-term proposal, we would not be pursuing it.” Following West, Mackenzie Furniture owner Rob Eby outlined some of the steps the business has taken to address those concerns, including accepting a restrictive covenant on the building that would limit freight loading and unloading times to between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. and limit its use to solely his business. Much like the Masons, Eby said this rezoning would play a critical role in plans for a

PRINCE RUPERT - The issue of homelessness in Prince Rupert was once again brought to the forefront during city council’s Sept. 14 meeting, with Coun. Joy Thorkelson saying something needs to be done sooner than later. “There are about three camps around town with a number of homeless people and we are coming up to winter, so it is becoming cold, wet and miserable ... we have, I would say, about 25 homeless people living in these camps right now,” she said. Thorkelson noted past discussions with BC Housing to build additional affordable housing units have proven ineffective, but said the answer could still rest with the organization and the land it owns. “I think we should really be pushing BC Housing. I agree with the idea of putting trailers on BC Housing land because people should not have to be homeless while waiting for more affordable housing to be built,” said Thorkelson.
major expansion of the store that are currently underway. “There is a real absence of anywhere to rent warehouse space in town. We are in the midst of growing our business, are on the cusp of big things, and expanding the business will significantly limit our warehouse area,” he said. “I really need to have space that is close to the store and I looked and looked and couldn’t find any other option.” While many stepped forward to support the rezoning, noting the steps Mackenzie Furniture had taken to address concerns and the need for council to support a growing business, there were also FILE PHOTO / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR several detractors from the proThe lower level of Prince Rupert’s Masonic Hall will act as a wareposals. house for storing furnituree after it was rezoned. “Safety is the main issue.

Retail, real estate keep B.C. in black bcclassified.com By Tom Fletcher
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
VICTORIA - The B.C. government is on track for a surplus of $277 million for the fiscal year ending next spring, despite a costly forest fire season and a continued decline in revenues from natural gas and other resource revenues. Finance Minister Mike de Jong released results from the first quarter of the year Tuesday, showing the surplus down $7 million from the budget forecasts made in February. It showed revenues higher than expected from income taxes and property transfer tax, as
well as continued rapid growth in retail sales and sales tax revenues. Government spending is now forecast to be $381 million more than the budget, with costs of this year’s forest fire season above $300 million. That’s more than last year, but still below the total for 2009 and B.C.’s worst fire year, 2003. With similar surpluses expected for the next two years, de Jong said the government has room for some “modest” spending increases on programs. But the main emphasis remains paying down operating debt left from the deficit
years that followed the financial crisis of 2008. De Jong said the current trend would see operating debt paid off by 2019-20, for the first time since the 1970s. Capital debt for major construction continues to grow, but not as quickly as the size of the economy. The B.C. economy continues to add employment, but less than one half of one per cent per year. NDP finance critic Carole James said manufacturing and forestry are struggling while the B.C. Liberal government maintains its focus on natural gas exports. “We’re almost at the four-
Kitimat offers GasLink support By Cameron Orr
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - Kitimat Council has already endorsed the LNG Canada project, and now they have added their support to the pipeline which would supply it. TransCanada had asked the District of Kitimat for a letter of support for the Coastal GasLink pipeline, as part of the company’s process as they work towards a final investment decision, says a report to council from District staff. “There is very limited opposition to the project, and many Aboriginal communities, local businesses, other local governments, and individuals support this project,” continue the report, prepared by the District’s Economic Development Office. “This project, along with other proposed LNG projects, will bring
significant benefits to Kitimat.” The natural gas pipeline has worked out a number of project agreements along its route with Aboriginal communities, but still faces opposition from the Unis’tot’en clan. The group has blocked attempts by company officials to enter the territory, and has held up work enough that the company has actually altered their proposed route. GasLink is a proposed 48-inch pipe that runs 670km from the Dawson Creek area. In Terrace the city voted to withhold their own letter of support until after they could meet with the provincial government over revenue sharing agreements. Terrace Mayor Carol Leclerc called it a tactical move: “This is a strategic move to hold the province’s feet to the fire,” she told the Terrace Standard paper.

year mark for the premier’s jobs plan, and here we are, continuing to see less than half of the number they predicted in terms of job growth,” James said. The opposition has focused on the government’s reduced spending on post-secondary education, and charging adults $550 per credit for high school courses they take after graduation, in order to qualify for further studies. “Now’s the time that we should be providing support for people who want to retrain, who want to go back to school, who want to look for for those job opportunities,” James said.

Foundation reaches endoscopy target By Margaret Speirs
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - Mills Memorial Hospital has a new, state-ofthe-art high definition endoscopy suite to assist surgeons when taking a look inside a person for diagnosis, treatment or therapeutic reasons. The $300,000 price tag took a little more than a year to raise by the Dr. REM Lee Hospital Foundation and its many individual and business supporters.
The new machine has better high definition (HD) than the older one and allows the medical team to see on a screen where the scope is going inside the patient; before they had to feel around on the patient to determine where it was going, said Holly Pritchett, registered nurse operating room/endoscopy. There are two different types of scopes: gastroscopes are used for looking down into the upper area of the gastrointestinal tract and colonoscopes
for looking up into the colon, said Pritchett. Both types are used to find benign and cancerous tissue. Each type is only used for those specific areas and are not interchanged, she said, adding that some patients ask about that. If patients are brave enough, the screen can be placed so they can watch the scope moving inside them, she added. It also comes with a pediatric scope that is smaller and used on young people, to get in to look at areas that are narrow-

ing or to see areas after radiation or chemotherapy to determine if that treatment is having an effect, she said. The smaller scope could also be used in areas that are bleeding from treatment. Also included in the suite is a tall cabinet with a fan inside that dries the scopes after use and after they’ve been washed, which takes half an hour. Several scopes can be hung up in the cabinet at the same time and are colour-coded so they can be rotated.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear.

DESIGN FOR LIVING German film crew documents North Coast By Shaun Thomas
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Images of the North Coast will soon be filling television screens across Germany following a visit by a film crew to the region. “Germans have a big heart for Canada and the Canadian nature. When we were here last summer looking to see if it is worth doing a film about it, we came home very enthusiastic and convinced our editors we needed to do a film because the coast and nature and people are amazing ... this documentary is for German public television. It’s for a series of shows about personal life stories and how it is to live in those places, in this case Prince Rupert and the surrounding area,” explained cameraman Roland Gockel. “There are some differences you wouldn’t find in a travel guide. For instance, how do you go shopping if you live on a remote island? You wouldn’t have that problem in Germany, so we went to one of the markets in town that offer the service to ship the goods far away by ferry or seaplane. We found that very amazing.” And while the crew may have filmed around the city, travelled to Hartley Bay and filmed creek walking
in remote areas, it was the work of artist Jeff King that really drew them to the North Coast. “The first thing that caught our attention was the murals. They’re real eye-catchers, so when I went back to Germany I wanted to find out who did CONTEMPORARY HOME them and found Jeff to see if he was Plan No. SHSW2638 coming back.

KITIMAT - ROI Land Investments is pressing ahead in developing their townhouse and apartment complex in Kitimat. ROI is the company behind the planned redevelopment at what was the Alexander Townhouses. The site was cleared of buildings over the summer as they anticipate construction to begin in earnest next year. The company acquired the
a number of LNG facilities in British Columbia,” he wrote. The ROI development has an agreement with LNG Canada to provide 35 apartments. That agreement was made in May. “LNG Canada intends to lease these units for its workforce over a five year period,” continued Germain. “The first phase of the project, which calls for 36 apartments and nine townhouses, is expected to be completed in May 2016.”
LNG Canada has also entered an agreement for beds at the Civeo accomodation in the Strawberry Meadows area. LNG Canada didn’t have any specific comment about their housing needs over the next year but the company has said that if there is a positive final investment decision for the project that the non-local construction workforce would be housed in a dedicated worker accomodation village, located in the industrial part of Kitimat.
The good work done by Kitimat Search and Rescue has to be paid for somehow. The group’s major annual fundraiser is coming back in October, two-shows of a collection of high intensity films. The first show is the Radical Reels Tour, a collection of “the most outrageous films from the Banff Mountain Film Festival and beyond.” The event is taking place at Mount Elizabeth Theatre October 3 at 7 p.m. The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour will follow on October 10 at 7 p.m., also at Mount Elizabeth Theatre. The shows are well known to sell out so seek out your ticket soon. Tickets can be picked up at Pyramid Office Supplies.

TERRACE - Terrace residents will be helping several Syrian refugee families escape to a much safer place: here. After receiving many requests from residents about how to help the refugees, Skeena Diversity Centre hosted a meeting Sept. 15 and welcomed 20 people, including representatives from two local churches, Sacred Heart Parish and Knox United Church. “About 20 people came out and within an hour, we had a commitment and a plan,” said Skeena Diversity executive director Sasa Loggin. “As a community, we are looking to sponsor two to four families.” The decision was made to establish a “Group of Five,” a term used by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) because five or more people are required to register as those willing to sponsor refugees, and for the two churches to each sponsor a family. “After getting through the process of registration, we will work on the applications together,” she said, adding that information indicates that the cost of sponsoring a family is $20,000 for the first year. “Yes, the cost is high but people felt very confident,” said Loggin. A Facebook page, Terrace Sponsors Syrian Refugee Families, has been set up and will provide latest information, and ideas.

Providing the Facts
We’ve been hearing some questions about the investigative work happening on Lelu Island and in the marine environment. Here are the facts about the work that’s happening. Have you started construction?
Why is this work happening?
No. This is surveying and core sampling to support
This work is a continuation of the investigation we’ve been conducting since 2013 to obtain additional information to optimize our engineering design. First Nation environmental monitors are observing the work.
our proposed design. Is bore hole sampling occurring on Flora Bank?
No, because none of our structures are proposed to be on Flora Bank. Are you removing eelgrass from its physical habitat? No. Eelgrass surveys are being conducted to further understand eelgrass density and growing patterns on Flora Bank. Surveyors may sample eelgrass that has been dislodged by the recent storm events.
Protecting the Environment The work will be conducted in a safe and environmentally-sensitive manner, with no adverse effects to marine life. We have consulted with area First Nations about the investigative work being conducted. The Prince Rupert Port Authority has authorized the work. In addition, we have provided the Department of Fisheries and Ocean with information about our investigative work plans.
For more information, visit one of our community offices in Port Edward or Prince Rupert, PacificNorthWestLNG.com or call 250.622.2727.

This is our smelter
Our people are the heart of our modernization A new era in aluminium production is beginning in Kitimat. Smelter modernization will reposition BC Operations as one of the most sustainable and competitive primary metal aluminium producers in the world. The technology will revolutionize the way we work, dramatically reducing total emissions by nearly 50 per cent. Good news for all of us - our employees, their families and our community. But it’s not just about technical edge - our employees are the real competitive advantage.
This is Nick’s story One employee contributing to the success of our operations here in British Columbia is long-time resident Nick Byrne. A second generation employee, Nick joined Rio Tinto in the Casting department seven years ago as a straight line operator. He later became a welder and after working in different areas of the plant, he returned to Casting four years ago and hasn’t looked back since. “I’ve been lucky to be able to work with some really talented people from millwrights, pipefitters, electricians to technicians.” explains Nick. “I have learned so much from them and we learn from each other every day.” With modernization, our employees have been introduced to new state-of the art technology and equipment with talented people from all walks of life and with different skill sets. With commissioning and start-up, employees like Nick will face many new challenges but it’s teamwork and collaboration that will make it a success. “I couldn’t pick a better group of people to work with and tackle these new challenges together.” Although many innovations will debut with Kitimat’s smelter start-up, it’s employee know-how and how we work together through decades of aluminium production experience that have positioned BC Operations for success.

Gloria Philpot May 1929 to September 2015
The family of Gloria Philpot are sad to announce her passing on September 9, 2015 in Kitimat, BC at the Kitimat General Hospital. Gloria was born in Birmingham, England, to Olive and Harry Storm. Gloria received her schooling in England and began working as a lab technician there. This is where she met and married Leslie Philpot. Gloria, along with her children, followed her husband and immigrated to Canada in 1957, settling in Kitimat, BC. In 1963 she started working as a lab technician at Alcan, where she helped pave a path for women in an industrial workplace. She retired in 1994 and happily began her world travels. Through her lifetime she had many interests, hobbies and passions including sewing, knitting, reading, crosswords, computers, hospice volunteer, business and professional women’s club, travelling, lunch with friends, classical music, aquasize, gardening, aerobics and walking her much loved dog, Spice. Gloria was predeceased by her husband Leslie and son Paul. She is survived by her children John Philpot, Joy Philpot and Lynn Zaharchuk; grandchildren Dylan, Crystal, Delaney, Travis and five great grandchildren. The Philpot and Zaharchuk families would like to thank the homecare workers for enabling our nana and mother to stay in her home as long as possible, Dr. Huang and the palliative care team for your extraordinary care and compassion, not only to our mother but also to our family.

Dragon boat races peak regional curiosity By Jackie Lieuwen
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - Water splashing everywhere, a boat-load of men paddled hard against each other in opposite directions during the new tug-of-war dragon boat event last weekend. The event was a new feature in the annual Dragon Boat Regatta at Furlong Beach. Two boats were packed, with eight men facing east and eight facing west as they fought for each ripple of distance. Dragon Boat Society Treasurer Sally Ryan says it was a good day all around. “The sun shone on us all day which was beautiful and the wind didn’t pick up until the end of the day,” she said. “Everybody seemed to have a good time and the races went well.” The regatta had 140 participants, or seven teams, competing, including three from Terrace, two from Kitimat, and one each from Prince Rupert and Smithers. Two of the Terrace teams were made up of volunteers and new paddlers. Briana Pellegrino put together a team of new paddlers for the City of Terrace. A new paddler herself, Pellegrino says it was “harder then it

“I’m hoping to continue my dragon boating career,” she said, adding that several on her team talked about joining the Lakelse Drag-
ons next year. Ingrid Overbeek, who put together the second team of new paddlers from Northern Health, said
she also had a lot of fun. “It was a really upbeat event, lots of team building. It was great fun,” she said. “Everybody had a really good time.” The big Guts & Glory race took on new shape this year. Instead of the strenuous 1,000-metre race, the two lowest-scoring teams lined up to paddle a race backwards. “That was fun to watch,” said Ryan. In the finals, Kitimat Leftovers and the City of Terrace White Lightning team went head to head, and Ryan says it was a real nail biter. “The difference in the finish was point 8 of a second,” she said. “A great finish to a great day.” Ranked from top to bottom were Kitimat Leftovers at 1:12.0, Terrace White Lightning at 1:12.8, and the Prince Rupert Rainbow Warriors at 1:17.3. Next was the Terrace Lakelse Dragons at 1:20.5, Kitimat Free Spirit at 1:24.7, and the Smithers Tyee Lake Dragons at 1:26.0. The new Health Mob team of Northern Health volunteers did not make finals. The regatta wrapped up the season, and paddlers are organizing for next year. Next spring, the season will kick off with workshops as the weather improves.
They’re pitch perfect By Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - It’s been awhile since opposing schools from around the Northwest have set foot on a Rupert field or ice rink. But for the first time in the 2015-16 school year, the Charles Hays Secondary School (CHSS) Rainmakers welcomed three teams for a girls’ sevens rugby play day and boys’ sevens rugby informal tuneup. Both host teams found success in their inaugural weekend of competitive play, though each squad’s level of success was measured a touch differently thanks to the very first full season of CHSS girls’ rugby. “I think they’re doing really well,” said girls’ rugby head coach Amanda Barney on Saturday. “They’ve played really good defence. We just held Smithers to a draw, which we’ve never done before, so I’m real-
ly proud of them.” The girls’ team fell by only one try in each game on Friday afternoon in the pouring rain, losing 10-5 to Vanderhoof and 5-0 to the Smithers Gryphons. Then on Saturday, the ‘Makers tied the Gryphs 0-0. “We only had two practices before this weekend when we were asked to host ... We’re new enough to rugby where there’s no game plans, [we work on] all fundamentals. They’re tackling really well ... and they’re doing good running,” said Barney. An area to improve upon would be communication, said the coach. “They’re not talking and ... they’re picking the ball up too much, but we’ll get there,” she said. “These play days give the juniors an opportunity. I think if Smithers or Vanderhoof were playing their strongest teams, the scores would be different, but what I think is happen-
ing is it’s an opportunity for everybody to improve and I think [the teams] are representing northern B.C. well,” Barney added. For the boys, head coach Andy Enns’ crew were in fine form. Not 30 seconds into their first game against the Terrace Kermodes, the ‘Makers scored, with Cody Schaeffer blazing down the wing and notching the team’s first try of the day. Schaeffer scored two more and Ryley Main notched a try for himself in a 26-5 win for the Rupert side. “They were very good. We’ve got a couple of brand new players who have never touched a ball before this week and we’ve got another exchange student, so we’re keeping up with our imports for our team, which is good. We’ve also got a couple more new guys keen to play,” said Enns. The team is ripe with speed and tenacity down the sides and imposing

Schaeffer, plus with Chase Woelders leading the pack up the middle, we’re very strong in our forwards. He’s as fast as most of our backs,” said the coach.
On Saturday, the final scores were a 10-5 win for Vanderhoof over Smithers (girls), a 0-0 tie between CHSS and Smithers (girls), a 26-5 for the CHSS boys over
Terrace, a 5-5 tie. between CHSS and Vanderhoof (girls) and a 17-5 boys win for CHSS over Terrace once again, with Main scoring three tries.
