MK Bay Marina loses safety appeal

The MK Bay Marina has lost an appeal to WorkSafeBC (WSBC) over penalties relating to available safety equipment such as ladders.

However it wasn’t all bad, as the marina had a re-calculation on their fee. The prior fee of $39,708.23 was based on the payroll of the entire Regional District of Kitimat Stikine - the body who operates the facility - but now it will only be based on the payroll of the marina itself. That new � gure wasn’t immediately known.

There were a number of arguments by the ma-rina on the reported violations, from the authority of WSBC to respond to matters at the marina to the de� nition of the word “dock”.

However WSBC review of� cer Bruce Scott shot down all those arguments.

This entire process relates back to a January 2012 incident in which an employee at the ma-rina fell into the water while clearing snow with a snowblower, the WSBC review decision states.

“According to the worker, he backed into the bullrail and fell,” it continues. “He was able to place his leg over a buoy attached to the bullrail and hoist himself back onto the dock.”

One point of argument by the regional district - the named employer in the report - was that sec-tions of the Occupational Health and Safety Regu-lations don’t apply to the marina because section 24.2 speci� cally applies to “docks”, regarding placement of ladders, and not other structures. The de� nitions are not quite clear in the regula-tions and it appears that the word “dock” is not used interchangeably with other structures.

But WSBC found that with no speci� c de� ni-tion in the regulations, common usage must apply. The reviewing of� cer eventually concludes that the term “dock” can include all � oating structures.

The marina’s own website also describes the facility as having “modern concrete docks.”

Other suggestions, such as WSBC having no jurisdiction due to the fact that the marina’s opera-tions would make it fall under federal authority, didn’t � y for the review.

As well, the actual placement of ladders was argued to create risks for mooring ships, but the of� cer found that there can be design consider-ations that would alleviate that concern.

“My conclusion...is that there has been more focus on whether the Board [WSBC] has jurisdic-tion to deal with the issue of ladders at a marina than there has been about potentials solutions,” Scott writes.

Due to schedules the Sentinel couldn’t imme-diately reach the regional district’s administrator or the marina’s manager. The District of Kitimat’s representative to the regional district, Corinne Scott, was available and weighed in on the deci-sions.

Port announcement bafflesAn announcement released March

18 from Transport Canada notes steps being taken towards improved tanker safety off B.C.’s coast.

But the one item that has everyone talking is a line-item that reads; “Public port designations: More ports will be designated for traf� c control measures, starting with Kitimat.”

The idea of turning Kitimat from a private port — as it advertises itself — to a public one has raised eyebrows among the District of Kitimat.

Little is known about the process of turning the port public, and Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan said that she

only has questions so far, no answers.“We don’t know the rami� cations

of taxation, we don’t know any of those things,” said Monaghan.

She said that if it does work out to improved safety on the water it could be a plus for the community, but she is con-cerned with the lack of consultation with the District on this proposed change.

A backgrounder to Transport Cana-da’s release states, “The Government of Canada will designate Kitimat as a public port under the Canada Marine Act. This designation will allow the port to put in place better traf� c control measures to facilitate the safe movement of vessels.

A national risk assessment will help to identify other ports for this designation as well.”

“As a trading nation, Canada de-pends on marine shipping for economic growth, jobs and long-term prosperity,” said Canada’s Natural Resources Min-ister Joe Oliver in the release last week. “There will be no pipeline development without rigorous environmental protec-tion measures and the tanker safety ini-tiatives we are announcing today are an important aspect of our plan for Respon-sible Resource Development.”

Oliver was in Terrace last week.Continued on page 3

Swimmers splash in SmithersSubmitted

The Kitimat Marlins Swim Club had 16 swim-mers competing at the Smithers Regional Swim Meet with teams also in attendance from Terrace, Prince Rupert and host Smithers. All 16 swimmers swam extremely well with eight swimmers with the Marlins swimming to 100 per cent personal best times in all of their seven races.

Julia Piroso (15), who swam to 100 per cent personal best times, achieved her � rst regional medal for overall points by taking the bronze in the 15 and over girls category.

The Marlins continued to be strong in the 10 and under girls division with Hannah Pearson (10) narrowly taking the gold medal in overall points over friend and teammate Leah Desousa (10).

Kleanza Cathers (13) continues her strong sea-

son with the gold medal in overall points in the 13-14 girls division.

Gabriel Lamarre (11) swam to 100 per cent personal best times and on his way achieved his � rst AA Provincial time in the 11 and under 200 meter breaststroke. Gabriel is now welcome to at-tend the AA Provincial Championships in Victoria in June.

Nolan Striker (12) swam to 100 per cent per-sonal best times and on the way had the biggest one swim improvement out of any marlin swimmer in the 200 meter freestyle. His time of 3:03.95 was an 18 second improvement over his old personal best time. Besides Piroso, Lamarre and Striker, in the 100 per cent personal best times with the Mar-lins were Ethan Velho, Charlotte Collier, Hayden Dobbin and Michaela Thomas.

The walkway system in the City Centre area, including in front of the post office shown above, is the focus of this year’s District’s walkway plan.

A house fire brought out emer-gency crews to Bak-er Street on the eve-ning of March 19.

Just before 7 p.m., 12 firefighters, with two engines, one ladder truck and one ambulance con-verged at the home and Fire Chief Trent Bossence said one woman was found unconscious at the scene.

The resident was taken to the Kitimat General Hospital for health problems related to smoke inhalation.

Bossence said the investigation into the cause of the blaze is done but it could not conclu-sively find a cause, but that it did begin in a bedroom.

The fire itself was contained to just one room, with smoke and heat damage to the main floor of the home.

Meanwhile, the cause of the house-fire on Whittlesey Street from March 2 has also come back inconclusive.

Kitimat’s fire chief said an electri-cian was called in to look a few things over but in the end it was determined to not have been an electrical fire.

That leaves few other leads to con-clude on what actu-ally caused the fire to break out.

City Centre walkways focus for this year

Man charged in brutal assault on hotel owner

Councillors have directed staff to receive input from the town’s Per-sons with Disabilities Commission in regards to the 2013 Walkway Plan which will see significant work in the City Centre area.

The town’s engineering and planning departments presented their vision for 2013 at a recent Commit-tee of the Whole, which includes the straightening of pathways extending from the front of the post office, plus the addition of paver stones towards the sidewalk facing the parking lot next to the museum.

The walkway project itself comes with a budget of $330,000 and staff has worked with the Down-town Design Panel in settling on their plans.

Councillors approved the plan, as well as additional costs of $35,000, which covers a shortfall that couldn’t be bridged by both the recreation department and the plan-ning department’s own reserves.

That extra money will go to walkway paver extensions, intersec-tions, and additional lighting, with a total project cost of $405,000, with

a $75,000 shortfall, before the injec-tion of funds from Recreation and Planning.

In addition to straightening out of some of the curves, other nearby walkways will be restored back to proper condition, and lighting and new garbage containers will be add-ed to the plan.

The major concerns raised by councillors refered to accessibility, with council’s representative on the Disabled Commission Edwin Empi-nado asking how that had been ad-dressed.

Technical Services Manager Wayne Sussbauer said that a curb will be redone as well for accessi-bility, while all current and future walkway works will include wheel-chair accessible curbs which will be entirely flush with the connecting road way.

An additional motion to the dis-cussion, which passed unanimously, was that District staff investigate methods to compel and encourage businesses to also comply with the town’s standards for walkways.

Cameron OrrThe RCMP say that 31-year-old

Daniel Charles Rinquinha was ar-rested in connection to a brutal as-sault that left the owner of the Kiti-mat Hotel in serious condition.

Police say the male, formerly of Kitimat and now a resident of Alber-ta, has been charged with aggravated assault.

At around 5:30 a.m. on March 17, police and ambulance were called to a report of an unconscious woman laying outside of the Kitimat Hotel. Witnesses at the scene direct-ed the RCMP north from the hotel where people say the suspect alleg-edly ran into a wooded area.

RCMP officers used foot prints in the snow to track the suspect down and he was quickly apprehended.

Rinquinha was in custody how-

ever he was released on March 21 on a $15,000 cash bail put up by his family. He’s under conditions not to be in Kitimat.

The 50-year-old victim was tak-en to the hospital for treatment of se-vere head trauma and broken facial bones, and she remains in hospital.

The RCMP say they would like to speak with anyone with informa-tion or more witnesses who have not yet spoken with the police. The local detachment’s number is 250-632-7111.

At last Monday’s council meet-ing, staff sergeant Phil Harrison add-ed words of commendation for those who assisted officers that night.

“I want to thank the local taxi drivers because they assisted us in apprehending the [suspect],” he said. “I appreciate their help.”

Public portContinued from page 1

However the natural resources minister didn’t make it to Kitimat during his visit north, when he announced a point man for First Nations concerns on resource development.

Through e-mail, Transport Canada media re-lations advisor Kelly James explained a bit more about what this change means.

“By designating Kitimat as a public port, it brings it under a regulatory regime to put in place better traffic control measures to facilitate the safe movement of vessels,” she wrote.

In a later e-mail, she explained that the dif-ference between a private and a public is that a private is “privately owned land, terminals and wharves,” which contrasts to a public as “a body

of water and/or associated federal land that, for regulatory purposes, has been specifically desig-nated as a public port...”

Private ports are subject to environmental regulations that apply to land, and ships are sub-ject to regular navigational rules in the harbour. A public port, though, is subject to port traffic con-trol as they are under the administration of the Minister of Transport.

Designating a port as public would entail consultation with stakeholders like the District and users, she added.

Rio Tinto Alcan’s Communication and Ex-ternal Relations Manager Colleen Nyce said that they too are seeking clarification on how, or if, they may be affected by this change.

As British Labour Party prime minister Harold Wilson famously said, a week is a long time in politics.

So by that standard I would normally be chancing my arm trying to predict the outcome of the provincial election seven weeks ahead of polling day.

Normally.But this time only the most diehard -

and delusional - Liberal would anticipate anything other than a New Democrat victory.

The Liberal death spiral began with the HST � asco, an extraordinary episode even for British Columbia where a government was returned to power and then almost immediately committed political suicide.

It steepened when, following the resignation of premier Gordon Campbell, the Liberal party members declined an opportunity to repair the damage and voted for Christy Clark as its new leader/premier.

While the terminally enthusiastic Clark has a winning smile and looks better in a hard hat than any politician I’ve ever seen, it didn’t take long for voters to discover there wasn’t a lot going on under that head gear.

And the opinion polls have faithfully chronicled her descent into the abyss.

So, the question is not who wins but by how much.

I don’t expect a repeat of the near obliteration of the NDP in 2001 or

annihilation of the Socreds a decade earlier: it just doesn’t have the same feel.

By my count there are 15 seats where the Liberal margin of victory last time was less than 10 per cent and it’s pretty much a gimme all those are going NDP.

And I would expect the Libs to lose about half the seats where the margin was 11-20 per cent = eight, give or take.

So take those 23 seats, add it to the 35 that were NDP last time and you have my fearless prediction: the NDP will win 58 seats.

Much easier to predict are the three Northwestern ridings: all are NDP today and will be on May 15.

The Stikine riding was newly created in 2009 when Doug Donaldson beat out Liberal Scott Groves. The margin of victory was only 445, slim enough to give the Libs hope in a normal year - but as I said, this isn’t one of those.

On the North Coast Gary Coons unseated Liberal incumbent Bill Belsey in 2005 by just short of 1,700. Four years later and facing a credible Liberal opponent in former Prince Rupert mayor Herb Pond, he increased that margin to

near 1,900.But Coons has decided to call it

a day and the New Democrats have given the nod to Jennifer Rice.

Coons appeared to do a good job representing his riding, especially on big ticket issues such as BC Ferries. So there could be some slippage of votes that belonged to him.

Plus Rice has a history of working for environmental groups that have had a nasty habit of opposing economic development, something Prince Rupert, like all the Northwest, would welcome.

That said, she should win handily but I’ll be interested to see the margin.

Which takes us to Skeena where Robin Austin is seeking the hattrick.

Here I am going to be looking for how many people even voted.

To explain, in 2005 Austin unseated one-term Liberal Roger Harris by 359 votes. In 2009 Austin’s vote dropped by 301 but at the same time his majority shot up to more than 1,500.

That’s because the Lib vote crashed by 2,000.

Since that election the Eurocan pulp and paper mill in Kitimat closed with the loss of more than 500 jobs with a good number of those employees leaving town and taking their NDP votes with them.

Austin also faces a tougher opponent this time in Carol LeClerc.

None of that will change the result - an Austin victory - but I suspect his majority will be sharply reduced.

Fearless election predictions

Cheers to the old days and the newThis weekend is the 60th anniversary of Kiti-

mat.It was incorporated on March 31, 1953.And I think birthday celebrations like these are

very fun, especially as it makes me re� ect on the ways this town has grown on me since I � rst moved here.

Oddly enough the month of March is my own Kitimat anniversary, the month I moved back in 2012.

But moving back in 2012 was a whole lot dif-ferent then when I actually � rst moved to Kitimat in 2007.

The town was a different place then. I had come to town in the wake of the closure of Methanex, and coasted in just as the whole power sales issue was coming to a head.

All in all, it was confusing time to be a new resident.

It may have been a more challenging integra-tion process for me if the people here weren’t so kind and pleasant.

Economically the town just plugged away, but the people themselves were, and still are, very en-dearing. As a cub reporter fresh out of post-second-ary, it was very helpful to me.

That community spirit is what helped draw me back after I had left for Smithers for two years.

All in all, Kitimat is just a really easy town to like.

When I moved back in 2012, I � rmly planted my stake in the ground, buying a home knowing full well I’ll, gladly, be here awhile.

Today, the people of Kitimat are still among the friendliest people I’ve ever known, and optimism is growing.

The idea that this community will grow, that there will be jobs and that things will, in general, come here is widespread.

Not only are people happy, there’s generally a reason for them to be.

Just looking downtown, there are new and coming shops to keep our money spent locally.

So, at 60 years, the town seems to be in a good and exciting place.

And to celebrate, there will be events through-out the year and, of course, cake this Sunday. No celebration would be complete without it.

So, as a new resident, and perhaps a future old-timer (at what point do I start claiming that distinc-tion?), I want to wish Kitimat a very happy birth-day.

You’ve been good to me, and all the best for the next 60 years.

The cost of a life is priceless

Lessons to keep learning from Easter

Dear Sir,With the results of a second appeal to

WorksafeBC (WSBC) � nally in the Re-gional District of Kitimat Stikine has lost its appeal. They have put the lives of its employees � rst and patrons second, despite at least one case of a worker for the MK Bay Marina falling into the frigid waters of the Douglas Channel, luckily escaping without serious consequence. Also with � ve years of non-compliance of orders by WSBC the RDKS chose to defy rather than comply.

What is the cost of a life? Priceless.Now the ratepayers are going to have

to pick up the legal expenses and � ne and all associated costs with this case.

The � nal cost will be in the tens of thousands of dollars for a de� ance of the most simple of requirements around water: life rings and re-boarding ladders.

The WSBC orders will still have to be met, at a fraction of costs for de-� ance, or further � nes will be coming. Who will be held accountable for such wilful lack of compliance? Will there be consequences

for those who chose to defy? Having such a disregard for life for such a simple require-ment makes no sense.

As a ratepayer and user of MK Bay Marina I will be looking for serious action to come from the board of directors who have the duty to oversee this Regional Dis-trict service.

Safety is everyone’s responsibility. Cheating death is a manner of luck and luck does run out.

I am very thankful that no one has lost their life for such foolish de� ance.

Victor Lick.

Luke 24:5, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here but risen.”

You’ve likely heard that old saying; “There’s nothing in this life that is certain except death and taxes.”

Well, it is ironic that in Can-ada we usually do our taxes the same month as Easter; ironic be-cause the message of Easter shows the “Death and taxes” statement to be false. Let’s explore that a bit further.

Approximately 2,000 years ago there was a Jewish carpenter named Jesus who was cruci� ed by the Romans. Cruci� x-ion was common in those days.

It was particularly brutal to be a

deterrent to all who witnessed it. Je-sus’ body was taken down after a spear thrust in the side determined that He was dead and His body was wrapped in linen cloths and placed in the borrowed tomb of a friend.

A huge boulder was then rolled in front of the opening to seal the tomb and guards were placed beside it because

the religious leaders were worried that some of this man’s followers might tamper with the body.

The Gospel of Luke tells us that on the � rst day of the week (Sunday) a group of women followers went up to anoint Jesus’ body with spices, but when they got there, they found that the stone had been rolled away and the guards were nowhere in sight. Instead

two angels are there who spoke to the women reminding them that Jesus had said, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law and must be killed, and on the third day be raised to life.” These women were the � rst people to see and understand that Jesus is who

He said He is, the Son of God who came to pay the price of our sin on the cross as our substitute; so that all who through the leading of the Holy Spirit repent of their sins and believe on Him as their Lord and Savior are forgiven and promised a resurrection to eternal life just like His.

$100,000 for doctors willing to relocate northThe B.C. government and the B.C

Medical Association are offering doc-tors a $100,000 bonus to relocate to se-lected rural communities for three years.

That includes Kitimat, as well as nearby Hazelton, Burns Lake, Chet-wynd and Tumbler Ridge will also ben-efit from this program. One doctor for each community will receive the bonus. Quesnel will receive the funding bonus for an internal medicine internist, and Terrace is funded for one anaesthesiolo-gist.

In the Interior Health Authority, Princeton and Clearwater are funded for two general practitioners each, and Na-kusp gets one. Cranbrook is funded for one anesthesiologist.

In Vancouver Coastal region, one general practitioner each is funded for Bella Coola and Pemberton.

In the Vancouver Island Health Au-thority, Port Hardy is funded for two general practitioners and Port Alberni gets the only emergency physician pro-vided for in the program. Tofino and Galiano Island are funded for one gen-eral practitioner each.

The latest incentive is on top of a program to forgive student debt for doc-tors who will set up a medical practice outside urban areas, and other induce-ments to graduating and foreign doctors to venture outside large cities.

Health Minister Margaret MacDi-armid and BCMA president Dr. Shel-

ley Ross announced the program last Wednesday. Both said it was a difficult task picking the most needy locations, and expressed hope that it is successful and can be ex-panded.

MacDiarmid, a fam-ily doctor in Rossland be-fore going into politics, said these won’t be typical office-based medical prac-tices. The GP positions will involve hospital and resi-dential care, supported by a relief physician program so doctors can take some weekends and vacations.

Some involve “out-reach” visits to even more remote communities, in-cluding aboriginal villages.

Northern Health media spokesperson Eryn Collins said that as far as challenges in recruiting doctors, the health authority is in largely the same boat as other health regions with a lot of rural and remote spaces.

“It’s a highly competitive field and as we know as people who live in the north it takes some convincing of peo-ple to tell them just how wonderful our lifestyle is here,” she said. “That’s a re-ality that’s recognized across the coun-try. There’s federal incentive packages, there’s provincial incentive packages. This is something that’s not unique to

Northern Health or any one community in Northern Health.”

She said that from their perspective, anything that adds to the tool kit of doctor recruit-ment is welcome.

She points out that the $100,000 bonus isn’t set aside for specific purposes. A new doctor could poten-tially use the money to pay off student loans or it could go towards the cost of set-ting up a practice in the community.

For Kitimat, North-ern Health currently has an opening for one family practitioner and one locum family practitioner, mean-ing someone from else-where who would provide

coverage.As of February, Kitimat had eight

family practitioners and one orthopedic surgeon.

This program is funded out of the $10 million rural recruitment budget agreed to in the latest fee agreement with the BCMA. B.C. spends about $100 million on these programs, includ-ing one to provide continuing medical training for remote doctors.

Ross said some of the communi-ties have had great difficulty keeping doctors, and some have lost all resident

“This definitely will help

because it will highlight there is some front money

that will allow that doctor to set up a

practice here”

Continued from page 1She said that the arguments

made against the WorkSafeBC rul-ing shouldn’t have been bothered with.

“The whole thing was it’s a safety issue,” said Corinne Scott. “Instead of arguing it should have been complied with, absolutely.”

She suggested that the safety of workers and users should have taken higher priority.

Board members will soon have more power to have a hand on deci-sions regarding the marina though. Scott said that on Friday evening the board would have been voting to adopt the terms of reference of a MK Bay Marina Function Commit-tee.

The committee was reinstated on January 1 and includes represen-tation from the District of Kitimat, the City of Terrace, and the Direc-tors from Areas C and E, (Thorn-

hill and Lakelse.) as well as marina managment.

She said the terms of reference once approved will give them the scope of their mandate. The com-mittee will, she explains, be a liai-son between the management of the marina and the regional district, and they’ll have a hand in how its man-aged.

“It would be that the manage-ment of the marina report through the function committee.”

She said that had the function committee been at its full strength already it could have changed whether or not an appeal had been sought through WorkSafeBC.

Another marina issue that was scheduled to come up last Friday was an issuance of a request for proposals for a service review of the marina. That review would include the service delivery, conditions of the facility and general operations.

physicians at times. The program is open to new graduates, physicians from out of province and qualified foreign doctors.

“We’re short of doctors, even in downtown Vancouver,” Ross said.

Eligible doctors will get $50,000 up front and the rest after one year, with repayment re-quired if they don’t stay for three years.

The Chair of the Kitimat Health Advocacy Group Rob Goffinet said he is also pleased with this additional funding.

“With events happening here we can see the future will have openings for new physicians,” he said.

He said the money will help doctors in Kiti-mat because if they want to open an office it will take a substantial investment.

“This definitely will help because it will highlight there is some front money that will al-low that doctor to set up a practice here.”

Continued from page 5And this is the message of Easter

to you today. Discovering that there is a God who loves you so much that He sent His Son to die for you gives your life meaning. A risen Lord means that, through faith in him, one day your sin ravaged body will be resurrected like His and you will live in Heaven forever.

Have you received the free gift of forgiveness and eternal life

through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ? Friends, death and taxes are the only certainties that this world can offer, but there is one more certainty to add to the list; eter-nal life through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but receive eternal life. He is risen. He is risen indeed. Amen.

Kitimat, the town without peopleThe unique story of incorporation and the early days

Here we are. On Sunday, Kitimat turns 60. That is 60 years from the date of incorporation, March 31, 1953.

Kitimat has come a long way, from Alcan’s muddy work camp to a muddy town site to the fully paved com-munity we know today. (People seemed to emphasize the mud in our research.)

To get a sense of how far we’ve come, we should look at what the town was really like back in 1953, when the roads were mud, and the walkway system that’s an icon of the community was nothing more than lengthy planks of wood.

Kitimat has the distinction of being B.C.’s � rst com-munity which was incorporated without any actual resi-dents. Houses would be built in short order but when in-corporation took place no one actually lived in the town. A public auction by Alcan got the ball rolling for home lots.

As many know, the town itself was designed by a man named Clarence Stein, and the weather played a role in why Kitimat is so unique.

“Because of the climate - it snows, it rains quite a bit in the community - they wanted to build a town that would be appealing for people to actually come and live in,” said Kitimat Museum and Archives’ Assistant Curator Angela Eastman. “They decided they would plan the community with the help of Clarence S. Stein.”

KITIMAT’S FIRST COUNCIL - KITIMAT INCORPORATED MARCH 31, 1953

Cameron OrrWhat was any 20-year-old

woman supposed to say when the boat pulled in to Alcan’s dock in 1954, a sea of men on shore wait-ing to see the new arrivals.

“Oh my God,” seems a rea-sonable choice.

That was what long-time resi-dent Hilda Prause said her reac-tion was to seeing Kitimat for the � rst time.

After � ve months apart from her husband Tom, an early em-ployee of Alcan, she arrived in March to the new community, just about at its one year anniversary of incorporation.

She was on the boat with two other ladies, and by sea was the only way to get into the town, ex-cept for a � ight on a � oat plane. The highway connecting Kitimat and Terrace was still a few years off.

“It was ‘Oh my God, where am I? I’m in the wilderness,’” Prause recalls. “There’s no paved roads. There was mud all over the place.”

It was a drastic change from her life in the urban landscape of Vancouver. No roads, little shop-ping, and men as far as the eye could see.

“I will never forget that day,” she said, remembering that it was pouring rain (she used the word pouring three times in a row.)

Her husband lived in bunk-houses behind the Hudson Bay Company store — the only source to get, at time questionable, gro-ceries — and she was able to stay

in a house on the hill owned by, she said, a man named Mr. White-head.

Prause and her husband couldn’t immediately move in to their new house on Oriole Street, because it wasn’t built yet. It would be ready shortly though, and they were eager to have a house of their own.

“We didn’t have water con-nected yet,” she said about when they did eventually move in. Al-can would bring up large garbage containers worth of water, some to use for the toilet and some for cleaning.

“It was very pioneer,” she said. “And furniture, well, we had apple boxes for night tables.”

Luxuries like running water would continue to add up. Tele-phone would eventually come to connect people to the outside world, a welcome complement to the radio.

Prause still has Kitimat’s � rst phone book, a two page brochure of names and two-digit numbers. At that time two people could have the same phone number, and whether the phone rang once or twice would determine who it was for.

Prause won’t deny that she didn’t at time listen in on others’ calls.

Workers in the new town would pile into a large station wagon vehicle and carpool to the smelter for work, and it was the same way women could get down to the store to do shopping. The Hudson Bay Company was, at that

time, the only shopping in town.She believes she and her hus-

band were the fourth couple to have moved on to Oriole Street, which was one of the very � rst streets created in Kitimat.

So living in a new house, on a muddy street (paving wouldn’t happen for at least a year), with

little contact to the outside world must have been tortuous for the city girl.

Except it wasn’t.“It was wonderful,” she said

about living on the street. “We were all a big family.”

They’d have regular, large parties every week. Prause has a

scrapbook full of old photos of the Oriole Street gang, hanging out in someone’s home, partak-ing in games and perhaps a little of their weekly allowance of alco-hol. (Families could only have so much because it was delivered by plane once a week.)


He was only going to be here for � ve years.

She would have hopped the next � ight out if she had the mon-ey.

And 59 years later, they can’t think of any other place they’d rath-er be.

Such is the interest-ing story of Rolf and Joan Leibach, who in 1954 were a young cou-ple with aspirations to one day get away from the newly incorporated

mud puddle in northern B.C.

Born in Germany, Rolf held many jobs in Canada and Alaska before being hired to Alcan in July 1954, when he moved into the Anderson Creek work camp, where a wood frame about a hip’s height would give way to tenting, a breezy housing solution.

He began as a pot room spare — which is said meant just know-

ing how to use a broom — before moving into casting as a crane op-erator, and later was a

planner before his re-tirement in the early 90s.

A long line of history in Kitimat

It’s official, we’re a town!Kitimat was officially incorporated as of March 31, 1953, 60 years (plus four

days) from this very day.

The Eurocan Pulp and Paper begins its life in Kitimat, marking the start of a 40 year run in the community. In 1981, West Fraser bought in with a 40 per cent stake in Eurocan. By 1993 it was entirely West Fraser owned.

Many thanks to the Kitimat Museum & Archives for their support with our feature. Visit the Kitimat Museum & Archives to learn even more about Kitimat.

Ocelot Industries opened their methanol plant in 1982, with an ammonia plant added in 1987. Company restructuring eventually meant the ammonia and meth-anol parts were incorporated as the Methanex Corporation in 1992.

From the Methanex Corporate History, 2012Citing savings of $13 million a year, Alcan announces they will close the entirely company-owned town of Kemano in 2000. The town is the source of now-Rio Tinto Alcan’s electricity. The townsite had been designed to pro-vide for 50 families. Later, much of the town was allowed burned as part of a major fire fighter training exercise.

Year to be filled with celebrationHow exciting to be

here for Kitimat’s dia-mond anniversary.

On March 31, this little town turns 60, or at least that’s when it became incorporated.

Kitimat is a very unique town, designed from the ground up in a very specific way. It’s had it’s ups and downs, but as it celebrates its birthday the community is going to go all-out.

The real thrust of celebrations will take place on Kitimat’s birthday-proper March 31. It promises to be a busy day. Throughout the afternoon there will be free access at both the Riverlodge Recre-ation Centre and the Tamitik Jubilee Sports Complex, which in-cludes free open gym, swimming and skat-ing. Also don’t forget to have a piece of the birthday cake at either facility. A day’s worth of family activities will conclude with a fire-works display at 9 p.m. at the Riverlodge.

But that’s really only the beginning. Working quietly behind the scenes is a 60th An-niversary Committee who have organized a year’s worth of 60th an-niversary celebration. For instance keep an eye out on Canada Day for the 60th Anniversa-ry float, a special tribute

to six decades of Kitimat. Stu-dents are also being reached out to, and those with a Spielberg-flair will be invited to submit a short video about life in Kitimat. Prizes will go to the top voted films and depending on the num-

ber of submissions there may be a special film screening at Mount Elizabeth Theatre.

In late July there will be two nights of outdoor movies at the Riverlodge Soccer Field (Tami-tik Arena if there is rain). There

are also planned heritage hikes around town.

The year of celebrations will conclude in October when Kiti-mat’s top and notable citizens will be recognized at a special event.

Digging through the cabinets at the Northern Sentinel can bring up some great history. Here is a photo of MK Bay Marina under construction, with Kitamaat Village seen in the background. The marina is operated by the Regional District of Kitimat Stikine and was built in 1976. File photo

A message from the mayor

Houses were all flippedContinued from page 7

Stein subscribed to the idea of designing a community with a lot of green space, a lot of parks and sidewalks, so children wouldn’t have to cross the road to go to school.

The plan would also call for neighbour-hood grocery stores, churches, and lots of elementary schools for a growing population.

“The � rst area that was constructed was Neighbourhood A, or Nechako,” said East-man.

Stein would hire a company called Mayer and Whittlesey to im-plement the town plan and to work out some other details of con-struction.

Kildala’s construc-tion would begin short-ly after.

“The interesting thing about Stein’s plan is that he inverted all of the streets and houses to maximize sun and wind so you would get more sunshine during the day and the wind wouldn’t be as in-tense,” said Eastman. “It meant that a lot of the houses were actu-ally � ipped so that the front door was actually facing the green space, and back door faced the street.”

For the most part, all the homes that would be built in town were pre-fabricated. The parts brought up by barge and construct-ed on site.

The town would re-main fairly insular until the highway to Terrace opened in 1957.

In 1949, McElhanney began work in Kitimat, four years prior to the town's official incorporation. Due to the company's reputation for survey capability on large industrial projects, McElhanney was engaged by the Aluminum Company of Canada (Alcan) to provide control and construction surveys for one of the most ambitious engineering projects in Canada to date—the creation of a world-class aluminum smelter in Kitimat and a 750,000HP hydroelectric power generation plant in Kemano.

Between 1949 and 1953, McElhanney was tasked with surveying the route for the 16km water tunnel, through extremely rugged terrain, as well as the twin penstocks, the powerhouse, the proposed Kenney dam site, the smelter site, marine facilities, the Kitimat and Kemano town sites, all proposed roads and rail lines between Terrace and Kitimat, and the transmission line between Kitimat and Kemano. Astonishing accuracies were achieved for the 16km tunnel, even before the days of modern electronic survey equipment.

Over the next 60 years, this early project would play a pivotal role in the growth and development of both McElhanney and Kitimat. McElhanney continued to be involved in several major developments within the region, including the Kemano Completion Project in 1988; the Cablecar Subdivision Water Main Extension in 2004; and a transmission line tower replacement in 2007.

Established in Vancouver in 1910, McElhanney opened its first branch office in Terrace in 1967, the first of five locations serving Northern BC. Today, the company has 25 locations across Canada and in Indonesia, including Kitimat, Prince George, Prince Rupert, Smithers, and Terrace.

Cont’d from page 8He first set

foot in Kitimat in July 1954, and his wife wouldn’t arrive until De-cember 21 that year.

While Rolf was getting set-tled in the work camp and a new job, Joan was biding her time in Terrace with a number of other women, waiting to move once their house was built.

When time came to hop the flight to Kitimat with her seven month old son, so began a rocky relationship between her and the new town.

“If I had the money I would have gone right back home but I spent the last I had coming from Terrace here,” she said.

For one, she didn’t know the airplane she was on, which took off from solid land, would make its landing on the water.

Yet even before the landing, which covered the airplanes windshield with a good coating of water, she could see a question-able area of land that was the new town.

Her pilot pointed to a large area of mud and told her, “there’s your mud puddle. That’s where you’ll be living.”

Rolf and Joan re-call those early days well. Rolf said that with the exception of some things for the baby, they had practi-cally nothing.

“Apple boxes were our chair and two tur-key boxes...that was my table,” added Joan.

“We had no radio, that was one of the first things we bought in the Bay.”

A single-burner hot plate was their oth-er first buy at the Bay, an item Rolf still has in the basement.

As his wife plotted her leave in those first few days, Rolf said he

only planned a five year stint in Kitimat.

“I didn’t pave the driveway for 10 years because I was still gonna go,” he said.

He almost had his chance to leave when a crane accident meant the crucible he was mov-ing for someone else un-hooked and spilled against a wall.

He said he was almost fired

for that incident, which he said he was doing as a favour for someone else.

“Every good deed needs to be punished,” he said is the les-son he took from that.

After 59 years, they still think that those early days were the best days of the town, de-spite the slightly rocky start.

There was a good community with lots of entertainment.

They still had their ambitions to move on. Once their kids entered school Joan said they had to stay for 14 years at least.

But,“Then it just became comfort-able and we stayed.”

She knows the town didn’t expand in the way it was exactly supposed to, but the place is, without a doubt, home.

“I don’t want to live anywhere else, honestly,” said Joan.


Congratulations Kitimat!We are proud to be part of your community.

So that was 60 years. From our muddy streets to the rich vibrant

town we know today, it’s been an interesting ride through time.

But what of our next 60 years? Will things continually look up? Is there grandness in our fu-ture?

Well, very likely in fact.The headlining project in Kitimat right now

has to be the Kitimat Modernization Project, which involves rebuilding the Rio Tinto Alcan aluminum smelter.

Once the project wraps up it is said to add around 60 or more years to the life of the smelter.

It’s a serendipitous time for such a rebuild, considering the community only formed in the 1950s because of the construction of the smelter.

In a sense it’s like the community has come

full circle, to the start of a new cycle of life.But RTA isn’t the only show in town. There

is interest to start exporting lique� ed natural gas from our shores, projects that will add diversity to Kitimat’s portfolio and unknown other side-bene� ts if they all go through.

In all the interest in Kitimat is in the billions of dollars.

Yet from the stories we’ve told in these pages this week, a lot of the value of work in Kitimat comes from the people. There are interesting peo-ple in this town, many who came for the purpose of � nding work, but found a lot more in this val-ley.

All this means that perhaps in another 60 years we’ll be telling new stories, but with the same punchline: we came for work, but we just couldn’t leave.

Continued from page 8Families would

sometimes be able to make it down to the Alcan site and see a movie at the recreation centre, attend dances, and there was a bas-ketball court as well.

“The rec centre was nothing fancy but Alcan did everything they possibly could to entertain the men and also some of the la-dies,” she said.

But overall the en-tertainment “was just visiting families, rais-ing children,” she said.

Every so often the women would be in-vited for a steak din-ner on Sunday nights

Hilda Prause

Library posting history

Now back to the future

The Kitimat Public Library will be contrib-uting some town his-tory of it’s own.

They say that by March 31 they’ll post to their website — kitimatpubliclibrary.org — a history of the town written by Hugh Meldum, which was donated to the library in the past.

The collection is called Honestly It Happened, Events in the Lives of the Pio-neers of the Aluminum Company of Canada’s Kitimat Pioneers. The stories cover the time from 1951 to 1954.

Meanwhile the library continues to maintain a database of newspapers dat-ing to 1954. Available is Northern Senti-nel (1954-2011), the Weekend Advertiser (from 1995-2005), The Ingot (1954-1985, and 2003-2010), and the News Advertiser (1980-1995).

but she remembers the women all sticking to-gether on one table. It could get hectic when the men starting � lling the hall.

She said it was nothing in particular about Kitimat that she ended up liking so much, rather it was a community that grew on her as time went by.

Her two children were born at the hos-pital on the beach, and the town’s access to the outdoors sat well

with her husband.Sure there were

challenges. Their � rst holiday out of town meant loading up their car onto a train and travelling to Prince George before being able to drive the rest of the way to Vancouver. And some question-able advice about the opening of the high-way to Kitimat on their return meant some dicey conditions in the mud, but it remains a town she loves.


Kitimaton 60 great years!

April is National Kite Month, and while you may fly your kite for fun, there are others who use their kite for more practical purposes. One such person was Benjamin Franklin, who on a stormy night in June 1752 proved that lightning was a natural electrical current by flying his kite.

Franklin had been experimenting with electricity for a while and suspected that lighting and electricity were one and the same. To know for sure, he decided to see if lightning would act like electricity and pass through a metal key. In order to get to the lightning, Franklin made a kite and attached a metal key near the bottom of the string. Eventually lightning struck the kite and passed through the metal key, proving that it was a natural electrical current.

Franklin continued to experiment with electricity and invented the lightning rod. He also created many of the electrical terms used today, like “battery,” “conductor” and “electric shock.”

T TThe holiday season has begun

and many people will soon beputting up Christmas trees. Somewill use artificial trees, others,real trees. Whatever type of treepeople choose to put up, they’resure to add a string or two oflights. Of course, it wasn’t alwaysthat way.

Back in the 17th century whenthere was no electricity, peopledecorated their Christmas treeswith candles. The trees were realand the slightest breeze couldmake the flames flicker and catcha branch on fire. People had towatch their Christmas trees care-fully when the candles were lit.

That all changed in 1882,however, when Edward Johnson,an associate of Thomas Edison,made the first string of electricChristmas tree lights. Hehand-wired 80 red, white andblue bulbs and wound themaround a Christmas tree.Few people noticed,though, until 13 yearslater when PresidentGrover Cleveland hadthe White House treedecorated withelectric lights.

Christmas treelights have come along way since the17th century.

Today we have lights in almostevery color, size and shapeimaginable. Some stay on all thetime, while others flicker or chaseeach other at the click of a button.

TScotch pine, Douglas fir,

Virginia pine and Balsam fir.These are just some of the types ofevergreens that make greatChristmas trees. Every year, morethan 30 million Christmas treesare produced. Here are some moreinteresting Christmas tree facts:

• Christmas trees were first soldcommercially in the United Statesin 1850.

• Over 100,000 people work inthe Christmas tree business.

• Every state growsChristmas trees.

• Oregon produces themost Christmas trees.

• Christmas trees takeseven to 10 years to reachfull height.

• While they aregrowing, Christmastrees provide a place forwild animals to liveand remove dust andpollen from the air.

• Once theholiday season isover, Christmastrees can berecycled.

Coy Cup final tightly played

At top, the Kitimat Ice Demons face the Williams Lake Stampeders in the Coy Cup final on March 16. Below left, an Ice Demon attempts to break away from a Quesnel Kangaroo. And below right, the Demons’ goalie makes a save early in the tournament.

The Kitimat Ice Demons blasted ahead in the Coy Cup round robin series with solid and impressive wins, giving them a bye to the finals.

From Thursday, they could only watch to see who their eventual competitor would be.

That would turn out to be the formidable Williams Lake Stampeders, playing for the fifth time is as many nights.

Alas the winning streak for Kitimat ended that night when the Stamps took a 5-1 victory.

It was tightly played and tightly ref’ed, but the Stamps came out fast and took the Demons’ game plan out of their hand, getting the opening goal in the first at 7:07 on the power play from Dylan Richardson (Tyler Fuller, Stuart Sasges).

Not to be deterred the Ice Demons equal-ized to 1-1 at the 10 :07 mark of the period when Scott McGregor hefted a high shot over Justin Foote, after he and Jeff Mildenberger, managed to break around the defence on goaltender Jus-tin Foote.

Williams Lake pressed back immediately and scored three minutes later, on a nice shot by Francis, (Dave Gore, Jassi Sangha) after Kiti-mat defenceman was held up in the end, allow-ing Johnston to liberate the puck and get in on Tommy Mildenberger.

Dave Gore increased the lead to two goals three minutes after that when Jassi Sangha won

a footrace to the puck in the corner to a Francis Johnson clearance, beating the icing call and hooking the puck into the crease, Mildenberger got some of the shot, but could not keep it out.

The first period ended early after David Venman was injured in the board check by Fran-cis Johnson. He left the ice under his own power after the stretcher was brought out but did not come back.

The Stampeders added a goal in the second, from Dylan Richardson (Dave DeBeer) and one in the third from Nathan Zurak (Stu Sasges, Brent McIsaac.)

The Stamps then trapped, flipped the puck out and played a solid defensive game as time ticked down. Kitimat had chances but nothing seemed to be working well, especially the pow-er play, as the Stamps did take eight minors to Kitimat’s four.

It was a pretty clean, if hard-played game. Shots in the game were Ice Demons 30 and the Stampeder 32, but the Stampeders had the better scoring opportunities and were able to capital-ize.

Game star aluminum pucks went to the Stamps’ Francis Johnson, who scored the win-ning goal and Kitimat defender Jeff Milden-berger who logged a lot of minutes in the tour-nament.

More PTI questions answered

Cameron Orr

PTI Group executives were in town

for a second community open house to

talk about their proposed work lodge

just off from Kitimat’s downtown core.

The event provided people the

chance to catch up on the details of their

proposal while also allowing PTI rep-

resentatives to � eld questions from the

public.Earlier questions included inquiries

into the availability of health services

for such a large facility.

Sean Crockett, the company’s vice

president of business development, not-

ed that health services is a government

responsibility, however their facilities do

enable health services, and by that they

mean their facility can be designed to

reduce burdens in the emergency room.

“We can create space for medical

service contractors for physiotherapists,

for doctors, for dentists,” said Crockett.

That said, he also pointed out that

the workers aren’t coming to Kitimat

because of their lodge, but because of

the other, major industrial projects be-

ing proposed.

PTI Group director of business

development Bob Greaves said that

they have been working with North-

ern Health in Kitimat to develop ways

to provide health services on their site,

such as allowing nurses to check blood

pressure and provide diabetes support on

site.The company also answered ques-

tions relating opening their lodge to more

public events. Crockett said it’s not nec-

essarily the business they’re in but “with

the permission of the community,” they

could open up for special events such as

hockey tournaments.

But, “If that’s competing with a local

hotelier’s business, we wouldn’t do that.”

Project legacies are still to be worked

out but he mentioned possible future uses

of their land to be converted to recre-

ational uses such as trails. Their core site

though would likely be sold, as a fully

serviced lot at the time they’re � nished.

But they wouldn’t leave behind an

abandoned property, he said.

PTI Group has purchased one site

and has a purchase offer on another for

land east of the Kitimat General Hospi-

tal, in the Strawberry Meadows area.

They propose to construct a work-

force lodge that could eventually house

up to 2,100 people. They say that the fa-

cility would be a � ve minute walk to the

downtown core, which would provide

retail bene� ts to businesses.

Crockett said in an ideal world

they’d have the � rst few hundred beds

set up by October but because of various

factors such as public consultations and

the ongoing work to prepare site zoning

and work to amend the Of� cial Commu-

nity Plan — which is taking place with

the municipality right now — he expects

an opening around April of next year.

money in place

David Black says he’ll build his own pipe-

line to carry crude oil from Alberta if that’s what

it takes to supply a massive re� nery he wants to

build on the Dubose plateau north of Kitimat.

“I have the � nancing. That’s not a problem,”

said Black last week following a presentation to

the B.C. Chamber of Commerce March 6.

Black provided an update on his project � rst

announced last August to build a 550,000 barrel-

a-day re� nery supplying Asian and other custom-

ers with gasoline, diesel and jet fuel among other

products.

The cost is now in the $25 billion range and

Black said he has a general agreement with his

company called Kitimat Clean to line up the mon-

ey through the Swiss-based Oppenheimer Invest-

ment Group although more detailed negotiations

have to take place.

“I hope to sign a � nancing [memorandum of

understanding] within 60 days,” said Black of the

debt-� nancing for the project.But � rst he needs

to demonstrate he has

customers for the re-

� nery’s output and

Black expects to have

a memorandum of un-

derstanding, called an

off-take agreement, in

place within a month.

Black wouldn’t comment on whether those

potential customers include any of the ten com-

panies who have provided Enbridge with the seed

money for its Northern Gateway Pipeline project.

It’s those companies who have interests in the

Alberta oil sands and want to ship the raw product

overseas but who, for now, lack a way of getting

their product to the coast.

But Black did say the generally accepted

business model for re� neries elsewhere is for

their owners to also own the pipelines supplying

the raw product.

“Then you’re dealing with suppliers who are

locked in,” said Black, adding that it’s a more ef-

� cient way to do business.

Black wouldn’t comment directly on whether

he’s considered asking Enbridge to sell its North-

ern Gateway project but he has told Enbridge its

concept of shipping crude to the coast through a

pipeline and then having the unre� ned product

taken overseas won’t be accepted in B.C.

“I’ve thought a lot about that,” said Black. “I

think it would be very, very dif� cult now for En-

bridge to win.”

Enbridge is now in the middle of extensive

public hearings and a � nal decision to accept or

reject the project is expected from the federal gov-

ernment late this year.Continued on page 2

“I think it would

be very, very

diffi cult now

for Enbridge to

win.”

it takes to supply a massive re� nery he wants to

build on the Dubose plateau north of Kitimat.

“I have the � nancing. That’s not a problem,”

said Black last week following a presentation to

the B.C. Chamber of Commerce March 6.

Black provided an update on his project � rst

announced last August to build a 550,000 barrel-

a-day re� nery supplying Asian and other custom-

ers with gasoline, diesel and jet fuel among other

products.

The cost is now in the $25 billion range and

Black said he has a general agreement with his

company called Kitimat Clean to line up the mon-

ey through the Swiss-based Oppenheimer Invest-

ment Group although more detailed negotiations

have to take place.

“I hope to sign a � nancing [memorandum of

understanding] within 60 days,” said Black of the

debt-� nancing for the project.But � rst he needs

to demonstrate he has

customers for the re-

� nery’s output and

Black expects to have

a memorandum of un-

derstanding, called an

off-take agreement, in

place within a month.

Black wouldn’t comment on whether those

potential customers include any of the ten com-

panies who have provided Enbridge with the seed

money for its Northern Gateway Pipeline project.

It’s those companies who have interests in the

Alberta oil sands and want to ship the raw product

overseas but who, for now, lack a way of getting

their product to the coast.

But Black did say the generally accepted

business model for re� neries elsewhere is for

their owners to also own the pipelines supplying

the raw product.

“Then you’re dealing with suppliers who are

locked in,” said Black, adding that it’s a more ef-

� cient way to do business.

Black wouldn’t comment directly on whether

he’s considered asking Enbridge to sell its North-

ern Gateway project but he has told Enbridge its

concept of shipping crude to the coast through a

pipeline and then having the unre� ned product

taken overseas won’t be accepted in B.C.

“I’ve thought a lot about that,” said Black. “I

think it would be very, very dif� cult now for En-

bridge to win.”

Enbridge is now in the middle of extensive

public hearings and a � nal decision to accept or

reject the project is expected from the federal gov-

ernment late this year.Continued on page 2

“I think it would

be very, very

diffi cult now

for Enbridge to

win.”
