Is LNG not all that?

Cameron OrrThe prospects for

lique� ed natural gas (LNG) may be good, but not that good, ac-cording to a report from Harvard Univer-sity’s Belfer Center.

The report, called Falling Short: A Real-ity Check for Global LNG Exports and au-thored by associate professor Leonardo Maugeri, is, naturally, heavily focused on the United States’ LNG prospects, but Canada is included in his pro-jections.

And long story short, Maugeri is more

con� dent in Nova Scotia-based Gold-boro LNG in adding to LNG exports by 2020 for Canada than he is with west coast-based projects.

“It has already se-cured a long-term cus-tomer (German E.On) for 20 years, starting in 2019, but had not received an export li-cense as of November 2014. This is also the only scheme whose selling price formula is not oil-linked,” he writes in the report.

On the west coast, “To circumvent some of the problems affect-

ing British Columbia, Canadian natural gas developers could send their natural gas to the US west coast, where it could be lique� ed and shipped to Asia. But the fate of Or-egon’s LNG schemes seems very uncertain in this decade,” writes Maugeri in his paper.

Maugeri’s paper, however, does seem to put U.S. potential for LNG exports at a notably higher level than other countries. Australia, he writes, has the worst business case globally.

Harvard study casts doubt

Museum pitches preservation plan

The museum is pitching the Dis-trict on a special project called the Kitimat Preservation Project.

Citing risks to its existing collec-tions due to storage constraints, the museum board is proposing a � ve-year plan, funded over and above the regular museum budget.

The plan, if successfully adopt-ed, would see new storage space pro-vided, new of� ce space, and a plan made for the old � re trucks held in storage at the � re hall.

In the museum’s submission to council on this, they point to the cur-rent storage of their collections, one at the Service Centre and another at a locker facility on Forest Avenue, as non-ideal as they are not climate controlled, and any breach or dam-age at those facilities could lose arti-facts forever.

“If there’s any kind of � re or � ood that stuff’s going to lost,” said Museum Board ChairRobin Rowland.

He said that through his own re-search efforts he knows the value of

properly maintaining records.Without properly maintained

collections, critical information could end up being lost to time. He’s seen it happen before in other facili-ties.

In the museum’s submission they also say with the number of re-tirees in town growing, the pace of donations to the museum’s collec-tion is rising fast.

Operationally, the museum pro-poses making the assistant curator a full-time position, and creating a short-term education/exhibition coordinator position to reduce the assistant curator’s workload in cata-loging and storing artifacts.

This plan, the museum explains, is a “stop-gap” measure until proper museum storage facilities are avail-able, or a new museum is built.

They say cost recovery from the sale and licensing of photographs once their collection has been en-tirely digitized will help offset costs before the project.

Car crashes into gate trying to dodge policeJanuary 5A District of Kiti-

mat snow plow re-versed into a small white vehicle, police say of a reported col-lision on Haisla Bou-levard and Ptarmigan Street at 6:25 p.m. While there were no injuries reported, po-lice say the small car had left the scene be-fore they arrived. Po-lice are still investigat-ing.

At 7:53 p.m. po-lice spotted a car with

a burned out headlight. In attempting to pull the vehicle over though the driver didn’t stop, but rather turned on to Quatsino Boulevard and eventually crashed in to a gate. The driver then failed a roadside screening test and the 37-year-old driver from Saskatoon was given a driving prohi-bition and a court date.

January 6At 2:30 p.m. the

police conducted a pull-over on Bittern

Street and found the driver was prohibited under the Motor Ve-hicle Act. The 46-year-old Kitimat resident faces charges of driv-ing while prohibited and their vehicle was impounded.

January 7At 12:50 p.m. the

police pulled over a suspended driver, at Forest Avenue and Highway 37. The 47-year-old Terrace resident faces charg-es and received a

vehicle impoundment.January 8At 3 p.m. the Kiti-

mat RCMP received four arrest warrants for persons who did not attend court as required. A 37-year-old Port Hardy man, a 24-year-old Duncan male, and two 25-year-old Kitimat persons are being sought in re-lation, however police did not reveal the per-sons’ names.

January 9Police responded

to a third-hand report of a break and enter when a person’s neigh-bour called them to say someone was inside their home and they had locked themselves in to the bedroom. Po-lice arrived but deter-mined that no break in had occurred at the home.

At 9:39 p.m. a 25-year-old Kitimat driver was given a driving prohibition after a single-vehicle collision on Highway

37 at Forest Avenue. The driver was being treated by paramedics on police arrival and the person was given a roadside screening test.

January 11Police conducted

a curfew check for a 16-year-old at 12:34 a.m. and found the youth was not at home as required, and po-lice say they will rec-ommend charges of breaching curfew to Crown Counsel.

Police Beat

Continued from page 1Rowland said they didn’t give a cost

estimate because the overall plan can be done bit by bit meaning the price, depend-ing on how its approached, could be fluid.

The written submission to coun-cil says the museum board and District of Kitimat staff would work together to create a more detailed budget, if council eventually agrees to the plan.

On the issue of the old fire trucks at the fire hall, the museum is worried that with community expansion the fire de-

partment will begin to need more space which may push out the old Jeep and Fire One.

Museum curator Louise Avery agrees that something has to be done with the town’s collection of history.

“We need to do something with council regarding the issues,” said Av-ery. “There needs to be some future for the collection for Kitimat that is protected and accessible.”

She said she sees the idea of ATCO trailers to house the collection as an effec-

tive temporary measure.She said the existing storage facili-

ties may be heated, but not consistently enough to properly preserve artifacts.

The presentation to council by the museum was part of a larger meeting where councillors heard the budget needs for a number of community groups and organizations.

The meeting was not set to make any decisions though, but just to hear the groups’ needs ahead of finalizing a bud-get.

Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, January 21, 2015 3

B.C.’s Environ-ment Assessment Office has begun its review of a liq-uefied natural gas export facility near Squamish, and a large-volume gas pipeline from Co-quitlam to supply it.

FortisBC has applied to twin its existing 10-inch diameter gas pipe-line to the former Woodfibre pulp mill with a 24-inch line that would supply gas to load 40 tankers of LNG per year for export to Asia.

The existing pipeline right-of-way and an idle industrial site with barge sites put the Woodfibre LNG project at the front of the pack for the B.C. government’s push to develop an LNG export indus-try, with operation to begin as early as spring 2017. Wood-fibre is smaller than most propos-als for the Kitimat and Prince Rupert areas, which con-tinue to study the cost of much lon-ger pipelines from northeast B.C. gas fields.

The Singapore-based investors behind Woodfibre LNG plan to use BC Hydro electric-ity and gas supplied by FortisBC’s ex-isting network that supplies residential and industrial cus-tomers around the province.

The 180-day assessment period began this week with acceptance of the pipeline and plant applications. EAO public open houses for the LNG plant are sched-uled.

B.C. BRIEFS

UNBC professor suggests caution on LNGA University of

Northern B.C. eco-nomics professor says people should be cau-tious, rather than opti-mistic, about LNG in 2015.

UNBC’s Paul Bowles was respond-ing to minister of natu-ral gas development Rich Coleman’s year-opening statements saying 2015 will be the year.

Bowles, however, says Coleman essen-tially has to push for a final investment deci-sion (FID) on a project for 2015 or things will get hard for the govern-ment’s predictions.

“He pretty much has to say it’s this year, or his targets for 2020 won’t be met,” he said.

Yet ‘cautious’ is the word Bowles would use when think-ing of LNG prospects in 2015.

“He’s [Coleman] on one end of the op-timism spectrum. The government brought in its tax regime which was designed to be very competitive to get com-panies to commit, but that hasn’t happened,” he said. “Global energy markets are in turmoil

at the moment, which nobody predicted. It’s unclear what’s going to happen to the price of oil which will affect competitive fuels like LNG.”

He added “It would be a brave person to make a prediction about what will happen to the price of oil over the year and therefore the natural gas prices over the year, which will determine how much investment takes place...Rich Coleman must have a better crys-tal ball than most of the rest of us.”

It’s not an en-tirely pessimistic out-look for the industry though. He does agree partially with some of Coleman’s ideas, such as that drilling in the northeast, and pipeline agreements made over the past couple of years, can mean there’s confi-dence in the industry. But Bowles only sees those as small parts of the larger picture.

“That shows it’s still a possibility, but the difference between a possibility and a guarantee is quite a big gap,” he said.

And for pipeline

agreements them-selves, he said you only need one person not signing up to throw a wrench in everything else.

“You can’t build 60 per cent of a pipe-line,” he said. “Any one legal challenge would have conse-quences.”

B.C., he also says, has challenges due to its geography causing any projects here to be high cost compared to other environments.

Coleman in his LNG outlook also repeated the govern-ment’s belief that the industry will lead to 100,000 jobs, but that’s another area Bowles says could be too optimistic.

“That’s very high,” he said. “They tend to count both what they call direct and indirect jobs on that.”

He adds, “That’s still a very optimis-tic number. I’ve never seen a full justification for that number.”

In Coleman’s out-look, he said that the government is antici-pating that companies will begin making their LNG decisions

this year.“After three years

of planning, we antici-pate British Colum-bia’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.

K i t i m a t - b a s e d projects were among his list of six projects which have received provincial environ-mental approval.

“We now have 18 proposals for LNG ex-port operations. Pro-vincial Environmental Assessment Certifi-cates have been issued for six LNG projects - the Westcoast Con-nector Gas Transmis-sion pipeline, the Pa-cific NorthWest LNG export facility in Port Edward, the Prince Rupert Gas Trans-mission pipeline, the Pacific Trail Pipeline, the Kitimat LNG proj-ect in Bish Cove, and

Coastal GasLink Pipe-line.”

“While the inter-est has been tremen-dous,” he continued, “our goal remains to

meet the BC Jobs Plan target of three LNG fa-cilities by 2020. This would increase natu-ral gas production and provincial revenues.”

DoK begins budgetCameron Orr

The early work on setting the year’s municipal budget has begun, as District of Kitimat staff and coun-cil work towards a proposed three per cent tax increase.

Such an increase is in line with the District of Kitimat’s current five-year plan, which, if the town sticks to it, will likely lead to two subse-quent two per cent increases over the next two years.

Operationally, there are some anticipated minor increases in some areas. The RCMP contract is hold-ing roughly where it was in the 2014 financial plan, now anticipated to be a total of $2.345 million.

It’s important to note there is nothing finalized about the budget at this point and figures could change.

Animal and pest control is look-ing at increases, namely from in-creases to the animal control contract with the Kitimat Community Hu-mane Society, and with some higher building expenses, which in total is forecasted at $216,500 for 2015.

Snow clearing is currently es-timated at $1.08 million (just for streets), compared to the 2013 actual

cost of $728,457.In all, roads and streets are ex-

pected to account for just about $2.85 million, down from the just over $3 million in the 2014 budget. With the totals not in, we don’t yet know how much roads and streets actually cost the District last year.

The District’s public transporta-tion costs are up

Beyond the line items for opera-tions, the supplementary budget as presented includes some proposed additions to the fire department and the police detachment.

The fire hall is seeking $52,000 to replace the deputy fire chief’s work truck, which, being a 1999 model, has been prone to break-downs and is ready to be replaced, said the fire chief at a budget over-view last Monday. They are also seeking $70,000 to replace the fire hall’s power generator.

At the RCMP detachment, the upgrades to the building will likely be finishing the year wrapping up those expenses, while there is still the costs for two Colt C-8 carbine rifles ($10,800), as well as body ar-mour ($10,000).

Kitimat Airshed Assessment released

Anyone holding their breath over

ever seeing the Kitimat Airshed Assess-

ment can breath easier now with its re-

lease on Friday.

The Government of B.C. commis-

sioned for the study of the impacts of

industrial developments to the Kitimat

area, but since it � nished the government

had held on to the document claiming it

as Crown privilege.

Speaking to reporters Friday En-

vironment Minister Mary Polak said it

was always meant to eventually be re-

leased publicly.

An overview of the report shows

that “The airshed can accommodate in-

dustrial growth without signi� cantly af-

fecting the health of residents or the en-

vironment,” a government Powerpoint

presentation says.

The study focused primarily on Sul-

phur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrgen Diox-

ide (NO2).

SO2 is the subject of an environ-

mental permit appeal by two Kitimat

residents who feel Rio Tinto Alcan’s

post-modernization SO2 emissions are

too high.

The government study included the

possibility of four lique� ed natural gas

terminals, a proposed oil re� nery, gas-

turbine powered electricity generating

facilities, predicted increased shipping

along the Douglas Channel, and future

expected increases in road and rail traf-

� c.“We want to ensure any potential

impacts from industrial air emissions

are clearly understood before new proj-

ects are approved,” said Polak.

As for RTA’s existing permit, the

government has no plans to revisit it

save for possibilities from the appeal.

“We intend to see RTA operate un-

der its existing permit. The appeal will

be what the appeal will be and of course

we will look to the results of that if there

are any changes that need to be made,”

she said. “Our intent at this stage is for

RTA to operate under their existing per-

mit requirements.”

Lis Stannus, one of two Kitimat

appellants against the RTA permit, is

pleased to see the study � nally released,

but at over 300 pages she said she’d

need time to go over the details.

Graphs from the government do

show the potential for signi� cant SO2

reductions in the event SO2 scrubbers

are used by the smelter.

SO2 health risks showed minor (pos-

sibly) increases in respiratory incidents

of between .5 and two per cent, and risk

directly related to proximity to indus-

trial area. Continued on page 12

Campfire culprit

in Kitimat wildfire

The Kitimat Fire Department says an unat-

tended camp� re is the likely cause of a one hect-

are wild� re which put at risk the developments

at Strawberry Meadows and left downtown blan-

keted in smoke July 17.

The blaze was in challenging geography for

the local � re depart-

ment to reach and after

an intial assessment

they called the North-

west Fire Centre, based

in Smithers, for aerial

support.

Water tankers and

helicopters were im-

mediately dispatched

to get the � re under

control.Meanwhile heavy

machinery was put to use to create � re breaks, to

contain the � re if it managed to spread.

A � re break is essentially knocking down

trees and leaving a � re-fuel free buffer.

“We weren’t allowing any members to go in,

of our members or their [forest � re] members to

go in, just due to certain hazards. The condition

of the � re and the speed it was progressing,” said

Deputy Fire Chief Pete Bizarro.

In all there were about seven air drops with

water tankers, while helicopters continued to drop

water throughout the evening.

Once air support � nished ground forest � re

� ghters went in and took care of hot spots.

“Jack [Oviatt] was on site, obviously had

lots of equipment. We had a number of excava-

tors working to make these � re guards,” added

Bizarro.

The � re was also the � rst activation of Kiti-

mat’s new Emergency Operations Centre (EOC)

since they set up in the Public Safety Building in

the former council chambers.

“Equipment and personnel all gelled really

well, and we’re very pleased with the outcome of

the EOC,” said Bizarro, saying their new set up

proved very useful.

As for evacuations, the Lower Dyke area was

evacuated but he said there was no imminent dan-

ger to campers in the area.

“The only reason I initiated that is because of

the direction of the wind and the fact it would take

some time for those campers to leave,” he said.

If an evacuation was needed emergency

services, including the � re department and the

RCMP, would do a combination door-to-door

knocking, loudspeaker service and using local

media to alert people of the need to leave, and

would establish a place for evacuees to gather.

One Kitimat Fire� ghter did injure his ankle

during the event and was treated at hospital and

released.

Kitimat’s Leading LocaL newspaper

This morning among my primary e-mail was a note purportedly from Disney Account Member Services noting I should reset my Disney Ac-count password because there was an indication that I had forgotten my password link the last time I visited Disney In� nity.

That this was a spam message was no surprise — I do not have a Disney In� nity account or a password link and I have never visited Disney In� nity.

As I always do when I come across an e-mail like this I simply delete it to trash and then I clean out my trash bin. Problem solved. That’s where this one from Disney went.

I also received requests to update information on my “frozen” iTunes account and to con� rm a work ticket on my Bell account. (I have neither!)

But I was left wondering how the Disney message appeared in my pri-mary mail. Gmail is a pretty ef� cient service which divides my e-mails into categories such as primary inbox mail (direct legitimate emails), sent mail, drafts, spam and trash, etc.

My inbox has three categories as

well; primary, social and promotions. Breaking down my direct e-mail into sections, one being a waste of time social media updates, from Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.

To me all are straight deletes but they take up time.

A real time-consumer for me is “Promotions,” a category where Gmail groups all other (unimportant) mail such as commercial notices that I may or may not have signed up for from various people, who now have my e-mail address, either provided by me or otherwise obtained.

I need to spend a bunch of pre-cious time “unsubscribing” to much of this.

Today spam is no longer a popu-lar luncheon meat.

It’s better understood as unsolic-ited electronic junk mail, “mischief”

messages and often much more; dan-gerous sources of malware, viruses, phishing for personal information and a number of other internet hazards.

Networks of virus-infected com-puters are used to send about 80 per cent of spam and from that you can conclude that is effectively “postage-due” advertising.

You still see the odd spam request from distant spots like Africa, in bad-ly-written English, seeking people to help share “trapped” multi-million in-heritances but it has slowly dwindled to be replaced by much more perni-cious spam, very skillfully disguised as realistic real bank notices request-ing updated personal information and material designed to download mal-ware if you click on the attachments.

Spamming is a very complicated subject - ranging from its sources of personal e-mail addresses to the im-mense value and costs of dealing with the problem, the dangers asso-ciated with spamming and of course the varying efforts of internet service suppliers to blunt its impact on cus-tomers.

Spam is getting spread very thin

LNG run downI’ve always been vocally optimistic about lique-

� ed natural gas prospects for Kitimat, which either makes me a glass-half-full kind of guy or, I’m sure, a corporate shill, depending on who you ask.

Either way (and to be clear, it’s that � rst thing) it’s only fair that I give some space to a less optimis-tic approach, and in on one hand comes from a report from Harvard.

In short, Canada faces a tough environment, both physically and socially, to construct new infra-structure, and over in Australia the business case has never worked, the report’s author writes.

The U.S. may have a better time growing LNG but even there it won’t be as great as analysts maybe had though.

Over to a University of Northern B.C. professor on our page 3 who thinks natural gas development minister Rich Coleman was being a typical politi-cian in saying we’ll get projects this year in his year-opening statement, despite signals that we should be more cautious.

Professor Bowles didn’t tell me nothing was go-ing to happen, but the conclusion I walked away with was unrestrained optimism about the prospects may be misplaced.

Basically energy prices this year might be a wrench in the works for getting projects off the ground this year, but missing this year may mean missing the government’s timelines to get projects going.

I don’t suspect there’s any anticipation of a quick decision on LNG from the mood in Kitimat either. Kitimat may even be looking forward to a little breathing space between the RTA mega project and any potential future ones from LNG.

All that said I don’t think I’m swayed from feel-ing a bit more optimistic than some others on LNG. I’d even say I’m ‘cautiously optimistic.’

As I’ve noted before, I’d � nd it bizarre if a pro-posal like Kitimat LNG disappears, given everything it has lined up already, including a new partner, once the deals close in the coming months.

LNG Canada, while at this point still seeking environmental approvals, had been moving very steadily in community engagements leading up to their � ling, and ever since. If there’s hesitation on the company’s desire to build it doesn’t show in their public face.

As our columnist Malcolm Baxter noted a few weeks back that these companies really look at the long game, and while some might be concerned that prices are so low right now, which might make a project uneconomical, there’s always an expectation that prices will go up again.

That all comes back, though, to whether 2015 will be ‘the’ year or not for LNG.

And as optimistic as anyone can be, we might end up having to wait a little longer. We’ll see.

Finding a source of contentment in age of discontentPsalm 23: 1, “The

Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.”

Are you a content person? So often we think that we are most content when we have abundance like we do these days in Kitimat, but is that really true?

Contrast that thinking with the 23rd Psalm which begins, “The Lord is my Shep-herd, I shall not want.”

In this age of dis-content that we live in, to hear someone say, “I do not want” is amaz-ing indeed. The truth is, the only way the Psalmist can say, “I shall not want,” is be-cause he can first say, “The Lord is my shep-herd.” So what does the Good Shepherd do for His sheep? Well, “He makes me lie down in green pastures…He leads me beside still waters.” Rather than

leaving us alone to try to fill up on the junk food of human philos-ophy and self-help that leaves us “In want,” He gives us His Word to nourish us.

“He restores my soul.” Jesus the Good Shepherd came to this earth for that very rea-son, to die for our sins, so that through simple repentant faith in Him, we might be rescued and brought back into a right relationship with God. Jesus said in John 10:11, “I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd

lays down His life for the sheep.” And that is exactly what He did for you and for me on the cross. Only in Christ can our souls be restored to an eternal relationship with our Heavenly Father.

“He leads me in the paths of righteous-ness for His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the val-ley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me. Your rod and your staff they comfort me. You prepare a table in the presence of my en-

emies, you anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows.”

You know, one day each one of us will stand before that valley, and on that day when our earthly guides have to turn around there is only one person who can guide us safely to the other side; Jesus Christ. He can do it because He has been there and back and He knows the way. In fact, He is the way. The question before each one of us today is, if you found yourself at the edge of that valley today, would you be ready? Are you part of the Good Shepherd’s flock?

Friends, true con-tentment can only be found in the certainly of knowing that your eternal situation is se-cure in the fold of the

Good Shepherd. The good news is that its never too late. Jesus is always looking for lost sheep. He wants you to

know that through faith in Him, your cup of blessing will overflow, goodness and mercy will follow you all the

days of your life, and one day, you will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

Amen.

Continued from page 4Largely however, we know we’re pretty well

“on your own” to learn about dealing with spam and apply these protections available rigidly and regularly. Basically, if you see something that suggests it may be spam delete it without hesita-tion.

If your e-mail supplier says an item is spam it usually is, but I always read the intro on the mail because I’ve often seen mis-identified regu-lar mail in my spam column. They don’t get it right all the time.

What’s our government doing about spam? They have limited options because of the ex-

plosive, expanding nature of the problem. How-ever, on July 1, 2014, Canada’s latest anti-spam legislation came into force. The new rules are de-signed to protect Canadian consumers from the most damaging and deceptive forms of spam and online threats, such as identity theft, phishing and spyware.

Canada’s anti-spam legislation followed ex-tensive consultations with Canadian businesses and consumers. Numerous steps have been taken to limit the impact on Canadian businesses, while attempting to provide strong protections for con-sumers online.

Organizations that send emails to clients will have three years to obtain express consent from existing clients. Registered charities, which op-erate on the generosity of Canadians, continue to be able to request donations.

Will it be effective? That remains to be seen. One major U.S. Internet security company re-ported in the second quarter last year, the per-centage of spam in total email traffic increased by 4.2 per cent from the first quarter of 2013 and came to 70.7 per cent.

The percentage of phishing emails in global mail traffic fell by 0.0016 per cent and came to 0.0024 per cent. Malicious attach-ments were detected in 2.3 per cent of all emails.

Stay alert. Best advice, check it all. If in doubt delete and keep scanning regu-larly.

Cold weather shelter getting good useCameron Orr

Kitimat’s Cold Weather Shelter has proven an invaluable service to some in the community.

Shelter co-man-ager Michelle Mar-tins says the service has been accessed 17 times since it opened in mid-November, with about half a doz-en people representing those visits.

Oddly enough though, it’s not the weather which draws people to use

the service.“Weather doesn’t

seem to be as indicative of a precursor to ac-cessing because there were nights where it was really cold...and nobody would show up,” she said. “On the flip side there were people coming in on much warmer nights, when it was five or six degrees out still.”

One of the things that did improve use was moving the lo-cation. When they originally opened they

were using the Moun-tainview Alliance Church, but since De-cember 8 they’ve been using space at the First Baptist Church along Columbia Avenue.

“That’s made a huge difference in people accessing,” she said.

The convenience of being down the hill has been important because she said a lot

of the people who use the shelter spend more time down the hill in general.

As for what brings people to the shelter, she said it’s hard to say for sure because those are not the types of questions asked of people when they show up at the door, but she said there have been a few people who have recently

lost jobs.“I think a big rea-

son to accessing is mental health and ad-dictions,” she added.

In addition, most people who use the service don’t tend to

have any support sys-tems in place either.

She said they will ask shelter users for emergency contact in-formation, even a doc-tor, for their files.

“With the excep-

tion of a couple of times everybody says no.”

Meanwhile people are encouraged to sign up as volunteers. You can call 250-279-0847 for more information.

A moment from the 2013 Bull-O-Rama, which is marking its return after a one year break. Dwight Magee photo

Buck up, Bull-O-Rama is back for another romp in JuneCameron Orr

After a one year hiatus organizers are bring-ing back one of Kitimat’s staple events: the Bull-O-Rama.

A letter seeking sponsorships to local busi-nesses last week broke the news and Jack Oviatt, a primary organizer for the event, said the reason it came back this year was mainly down to excite-ment.

“We’re just anxious to see it back is all,” he said.

This year the organizers are setting a fund-raising goal of being able to purchase two infu-sion pumps for the Kitimat General Hospital, which is the current target of the Kitimat General Hospital Foundation.

The event will take place June 13, and tickets will likely go on sale sometime in May.

Marking a return with the Bull-O-Rama also is the wild horse races as well.

For the Bull-O-Rama, riders attempt an eight-second journey on top of the wild beasts, all with an eye to a $10,000 grand prize.

The event is sanctioned by the British Colum-bia Bull Riders Association.

As well Canada, he says, “will likely be the hardest hit by the new ‘chill wind’ blowing over LNG projects.”

Meanwhile he writes that the U.S. shale gas revolution “will supply relatively cheap gas for future US LNG export schemes.” even as LNG growth will fall short of expectations, he antici-pates.

He referred to all British Columbian LNG proposals as being planned for greenfield sites — that is sites that have no infrastructure and have not been developed before — however that’s not true for the LNG Canada proposal which owns the former Methanex site in Kitimat.

Overall though the report doesn’t say LNG is a dead market. His conclusion states that “Even a prudent and skeptical view of the evolving global gas market cannot help but recognize that soon the world will witness the largest increase ever of LNG export capacity.”

As for Canada, though, under his conclu-sion, he states, “Also the yet-on-paper Canadian and Mozambican potential LNG exports seem to be too expensive to cope with the current market situation. This is likely to freeze their materializa-tion till the next decade.”

Cameron OrrThe province of

B.C. hasn’t escaped scrutiny relating to the Northern Gateway Pipelines proposal.

The Coastal First Nations, and the Gitga’at First Nation council have launched a constitutional chal-lenge against the province, in an effort to compel B.C. to use its power to decide whether the pipeline project goes forward.

According to a joint news release from Coastal First Na-tions and the Gitga’at, the heart of the lawsuit is an argument that the province failed to consult with First Nations and failed to follow the British Co-lumbia Environmen-tal Assessment Act when it entered into an “Equivalency Agree-ment” with the federal National Energy Board (NEB), in which the province abdicated its power to review theproject’s environmen-tal effects and to im-pose more stringent environmental protec-tions.

“The province signed the Equivalen-cy Agreement without any consultation with First Nations, even though the Northern Gateway project could have devastating im-pacts on our rights and way of life,” said Arnold Clifton, Chief Councillor of the Gitga’at First Nation.

“Our territo-ries are within the shipping route that would be used by hundreds of tankerseach year. In abdicat-ing its decision-mak-ing power, the prov-ince is putting coastal communities at risk of the severe and ir-

reversible harm of oil spills and oil tanker traffic.”

Coastal First Na-tions Executive Direc-tor Art Sterritt said the

lawsuit being launched is “about protecting Aboriginal rights and title,” as well as giv-ing B.C. the chance to take action on the

pipeline project.“We believe the

province has erred in law by avoiding re-sponsibility for a proj-ect that its lawyers ar-

gued before the NEB should not be approved because of unaccept-able risks to British Columbia’s communi-ties and natural envi-

ronment,” he said.The lawsuit con-

tends that while the province was entitled to reduce duplication andoverlap by participat-

ing in the federal as-sessment process, it was not entitled to abdicate its decision-making power over the project.

MK Bay deal sealed with a ceremony

The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine have officially bowed out of the waterfront business, with the sale of MK Bay Marina to the Haisla.

The ink on that deal dried late last year, but it became real with a gift-giving and dance ceremony at the Haisla Recre-ation Centre in Kitamaat Vil-lage January 14.

The event, however, also teased to the Haisla’s next plan, which is acquiring Lot 98, and Chief Councillor Ellis Ross ex-plained is right across the road from the marina and is owned by Rio Tinto Alcan.

That said, acquiring the marina was a key component of having that land released from the company and in front of a gymnasium full of Haisla members said that he’s hopeful of seeing that land become the Haisla’s in under a month.

Lot 98, he said, was origi-nally going to be transferred to the Haisla but there were complications relating to MK Bay Marina and the land was held under expropriations since 1998.

We did not immediately re-ceive comment from Rio Tinto Alcan about the land.

Back on the marina itself though, there will be changes and upgrades in the future, and while the Haisla Nation Council has committed money to seeing it done he said the fi-nalized plans aren’t ready, but early diagrams of the future fa-cility show an expanded break-water, an extension to the store and restaurant, and there may be more berths as well.

Even the name is on the table.

“We haven’t really had time to take a breath yet, but I think that’s probably one of the next things we’ll have to do with our business partner and our community,” he said about the possibility of changing the name of the marina.

Speaking to all who at-

tended the event, he said that while LNG may provide a big opportunities, he said there are side opportunities the Haisla also need to get a handle on, and acquiring the marina is a major step for the community’s economic independence.

“I do not want my kids or my grandkids to continue beg-ging for money from Ottawa. I don’t want our people to exist under the Indian Act forever or think that treaty is the answer. We’ve got to start looking at ways to sustain ourselves,” he said.

He said he hopes that the regional district understands the significance of this deal to the Haisla, which brings in to their ownership land that for decades had existed just on the other side of their commu-nity but which didn’t belong to them.

It was reported late last year that the Haisla were set to pay $875,000 in total for the land deal, which breaks down to $704,300 for the land and improvements, $5,000 for the a Crown water lease and $139,000 for other items including remaining assets, trademarks and goodwill.

Legislate, not regulate pipesCameron Orr

Skeena MLA Robin Austin believes prevent-ing natural gas pipelines from being converted to oil pipelines should be done with legislation, not regulation.

Regulations lack teeth and could easily be overturned in the future, he said, while legisla-tion would be harder to tear up.

The B.C. government announced the regula-tions recently, in the wake of a private members

bill from Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson which would have legislated such rules.

Austin said he believes Donaldson will be re-introducing the bill in the near future and he will support his colleague’s efforts.

The regulations were also criticized by Skee-naWild Conservation Trust, which were also worried the new measures wouldn’t be perma-nent.

Update on flu seasonCameron Orr

The peak of � u season is here and it’s been a good season comparatively.

“Compared to last year we’ve had a very mild season so far in the north. Last year at this time there were lines of residents waiting for the � u shots,” said Dr. William Osei, North-ern Health’s medical health of� cer.

He did con� rm what has been reported in national media, that this year’s � u shot was mismatched from the prevailing strain of � u this year, but main-tained that vaccina-tions are still the best way to control the � u.

While Northern Health doesn’t track � u down to the indi-vidual communities, the health authority says there have been a total of 21 con-� rmed cases of the � u. Con� rmed cases are those which were determined through blood sample in a lab. The Northwest, which includes Kitimat and Terrace, has seen two con� rmed cases. The Northeast has had 10 reported cases and the northern interior has seen nine.

Northern Health itself has administered 16,453 � u shots this

year, while they don’t yet know how many were given by other providers.

Over the 2013/2014 � u sea-son Northern Health adminis-tered 23,912 shots, and includ-

ing other providers a total of 62,266 were given.

B.C. in its entirety received 1.55 million vaccine doses, while Northern Health is allo-cated 83,700.

Sentinel show at museum

Moricetown may be thinking about PTP deal with Chevron

Extra, extra, read all about us!The Northern Sentinel has teamed up with the Kitimat Museum &

Archives to host a month-long exhibition in their art gallery of this paper’s storied history.

Front pages, photos and some artifacts will line the gallery, highlight-ing moments from the community’s over 60 year history, as reported in the pages of the Sentinel’s 60 year history.

The Northern Sentinel is still in its 60th year, after its � rst pages rolled off a press on April 15, 1954.

The exhibit opens on January 30, and runs until February 28.

Alicia BridgesA Wet’suwet’en chief has indi-

cated the Moricetown Band wants to allow LNG development on tradi-tional land in exchange for � nancial bene� ts.

In an invitation to a commu-nity meeting last week, Moricetown chief Barry Nikal said the band wanted to support other First Na-tions who had already signed on to receive payments and other opportu-nities through individual LNG deals.

Citing the First Nations Group Limited Partnership (FNLP) asso-ciated with Chevron’s Paci� c Trails

pipeline as an example, he said Moricetown could gain cash pay-ments and priority access to jobs and skills training by signing that agree-ment.

“We want to stand strong with the other 15 First Nations, includ-ing the four Wet’suwet’en bands who have already entered that agree-ment,” Chief Nikal said.

“More than anything, I wish to see unity within our Wet’suwet’en Nation and strongly believe we can work together towards a future of prosperity and wellbeing for our people.”

Cameron OrrThe Kitimat Ice Demons

may have missed the play-offs this year, but that doesn’t mean they had no more steam left with one win against the league’s Coy Cup champions the Smithers Steelheads.

The Demons faced Smith-ers on January 10 and 11 on home ice.

The � rst match of the week-end would go to Smithers 7-4.

It was nothing but Smithers points for the � rst period, with the � rst just three minutes from the start by Wyatt Vanderhey-den.

Adam DeVries would also claim two goals against Kitimat in that same period.

The Demons held it togeth-er in the second period, letting no Smithers goal in, and even adding one to the scoreboard

for them, by Derek Wakita at 15:54.

The Demons earned three more goals in the third, which were matched by three by Smithers as well.

When the Demons and Steelheads hit the ice the next day, it was a race to the 8-7 � n-ish for the home team, and the Demons pushed hard to make up the difference in the third period, with � ve goals starting 47 seconds in.

The Steelheads’ Brendan DeVries tried to equalize the score in the � nal minute of game-play but that one goal, at the end, wouldn’t edge them to 8-8 and the Demons would win, despite a strong second period from Smithers with three goals against Kitimat’s one.

The Demons opened up the scoring a minute and a half into

the � rst with a goal by Nick Markowsky, and a second goal by Terry Whelan just over seven minutes in.

The Steelheads took the majority of the penalties, earn-ing 24 minutes with eight in-fractions, while the Demons were comparative angels with just four minutes on two infrac-tions.

The Ice Demons were host-ed in Smithers last weekend, on January 17 for the Demons’ � nal game for the season.

The season went to January 18, when the Smithers Steel-heads hosted the Quesnel Kan-garoos.

In addition to the Demons’ match, the Williams Lake Stam-peders were hosted in Lac La Hache by the Tomahawks, and the Kangaroos were hosted by Terrace on the 17th as well.


The Kitimat Ice Demons hosted Smithers Steelheads January 10 and 11.
