Sale terms nearly set for MK MarinaCameron Orr

MK Bay Marina may be close to setting a terms of sale to the Haisla, according to docu-ments released on the Regional District of Kitimat Stikine’s website.

A four page “Purchase and Sale terms — MK Bay Marina” document was part of the agenda items for the regional district’s September 13 board meeting. Within it it describes the potential sale of the marina to the Haisla for $875,000.

The document further says that there is a tar-get date for the signing of a purchase and sale agreement on or before September 30.

RDKS Chair Bruce Bidgood said the docu-ment is an older one and that there is no way any agreements will be made ahead of September 30.

“That [the terms] still needs to be � nalized by the board,” he said about the document.

Setting those terms would set the criteria be-fore the RDKS would agree to any offer of sale, he said.

He said a � nalized terms of sale agreement was expected to be approved at the August 13 meeting.

Documents regarding sale terms for MK Bay Marina were meant to remain closed, meaning not publicly distributed.

The District of Kitimat representative to the regional district Phil Germuth put a notice of mo-tion forward at the August 8 RDKS meeting that would have the RDKS issue a press release to the public “regarding the sale of MK Bay Marina be-fore any sale agreement is � nalized.”

Correspondence from District of Kitimat staff to the regional district also outline Kitimat Coun-cil’s position on the possible sale.

A motion from Kitimat Council’s December 17, 2012 closed meeting reads that “the District of Kitimat supports the disposition of the MK Bay Marina to a public or private body as long as the public recreational interest in the marina is pro-tected by way of a restrictive covenant; and that the restrictive covenant apply to any future expan-sion to the land and use of the facility.”

That motion and a further motion from a closed council meeting from August 5 reiterat-ing no opposition to the sale of the marina was explained in a letter from Deputy Chief Admin-istrative Of� cer Warren Waycheshen and also in-cluded in the RDKS agenda.

An additional letter from Kitimat CAO Ron Poole to RDKS administrator Bob Marcellin out-lines Kitimat’s only concerns regarding the sale, which includes ensuring the marina remains open to the public, that fees charged are comparable to similar facilities in B.C., that access to the marina be improved, including parking, and that the ma-rina be maintained to current standards or higher.

The Sentinel has not yet received comment from the Haisla Nation on this.

NDP bill would ban north coast tankersCameron Orr

Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen is putting for-ward a bill in parliament that would ban crude oil tankers on the north coast.

The bill, which hasn’t been presented yet which means speci� cs are as-yet unknown, would ban tankers carrying un-re� ned oil products on the coast, and would also give greater weight to public input on projects being considered by the Na-tional Energy Board.

A third component would have the NEB give greater value to projects which provide a value-added component, for in-stance oil re� neries.

“The inspiration for the bill has come from all of the trou-ble...around the Northern Gateway Pipeline,” said Cullen.

He says the ban on super tankers would be putting in to a law a motion he put forward in 2010.

“Right now the legislation that guides the National Energy Board allows them to have public hearings but doesn’t implore the regulator to actually do anything about it,” he said. “We saw this in Northern Gateway.”

In terms of support, he thinks he has about half of the MPs on his side.

“I think it’s 50/50 right now which doesn’t sound incred-ibly high but with...getting Conservatives to vote for anything the Prime Minister doesn’t want them to is always an uphill battle,” he said. “I think I’ve got a fair chance at least having a

conversation with those MPs.”We sought comment from Enbridge Northern Gateway on

the potential impacts from the bill.Company spokesperson Ivan Giesbrecht, through e-mail,

said that the decisions on what products to ship is beyond the scope of their business as an energy transporter.

“Market decisions on oil re� ning are beyond the scope of our business. Northern Gateway’s role is connecting supply with demand safely and responsibly. We do not make the deci-sions on what product is transported, or where it is marketed,” he said.

He added, “There is tremendous demand in overseas mar-kets for Canadian oil and Northern Gateway provides access to those markets so that we may see full value for our resource. That is good for all Canadians. Northern Gateway provides our customers an option should a re� nery be built in Kitimat. Northern Gateway could also ship upgraded oil from Alberta. Northern Gateway could also ship a variety of re� ned products. The bottom line is Northern Gateway provides options –but it is important to note that in all cases, a pipeline is still required.”

“I think I’ve got a fair chance at least having a conversation with those MPs.”

The sidewalk reconstruction at the City Centre and around the Kitimat Museum & Archives continues, meaning museum patrons have to use the alternate entrance. Kitimat’s Director of Engineering Tim Gleig said Viking Construction is scheduled to � nish this project by the end of the month.

TankersContinued from page 1

Meanwhile the proponent of an oil refinery in the Kitimat Valley, David Black, (also the chairman of Black Press, which owns this newspaper) says this bill is exactly what’s needed.

“On this particular point I think

they’ve got the right idea. “I got onboard this project because

I didn’t want to see [diluted] bitumen put in tankers,” said Black. “One little mistake at sea and we could destroy our coast for a long time, and the fishery....I think they’re [NDP] spot on.” Whether

it’s passed or not he said the bill will be good for sparking a conversation about energy transportation.

“If it were a political move to prevent the export of oil all-together then I would not be in favour, but it’s not. In this case, refineries are viable.”

Police use sound to find person in troubleSeptember 1Police were called

for a bicycle floating under the pedestrian bridge behind Esso. Police retrieved the black BMX-type bike and is asking people to call in if they think it’s theirs.

RCMP investi-gated a complaint of

a harassing e-mail, but police determined no threats were made, but each party was asked not to contact each other.

September 2Police were called

for a theft from a vehi-cle where an iPod and small change was sto-len. Due to a number

of thefts from vehicles police are reminding the public to lock their doors and keep valu-ables out of sight.

September 3At 12:42 a.m., a

man in medical dis-tress called the police not knowing where he was. Police used their sirens to trace the noise to the man, who was kept on the phone while police searched. Paramedics were called in and the man was taken to the hospital for treatment.

At 7:53 p.m. po-lice were called to an alleged uttering of death threats from someone, stemming from an inter-family feud. Police found no death threats were made but there was conflict and police spoke with the parties.

Fall Green Tips #1With Fall seeming to start early this year, here are some

ways to stay green as the leaves turn brown.Clean and test your furnace - Your furnace collects dust and debris which affects it’s performance and also cause a � re. Before turning you furnace back on, get out your owner’s manual for instructions on how to clean it. If you don’t have a manual, call a furnace maintenance company. If you have a gas furnace, please have it professionally inspected once a year.

The Kitimat Fire Truck Pull is being held on Sep-tember 28, at noon at the Kitimat Public Market.

It’s being billed as the “ultimate tug of war challenge,” and people are en-couraged to gather a team of 10 to take on a 31,000lb fire truck.

The event is coinciding with the service of Kitimat’s newest fire truck.

To participate for the event, which is a fundraiser for United Way, each team of 10 has to raise $250.

R e g i s t r a t i o n closes on September 26.

Phone Olivia Bartsoff at 250-635-3701 or e-mail [email protected] for more infor-mation on the event.

The body of one person has been re-moved from a vehicle that left Hwy16 and en-tered the Skeena River in the area of Telegraph Point approximately 40 kilometres east of Prince Rupert Septem-ber 11.

One person, the driver, is still missing while a third person was taken to hospital in Prince Rupert, report RCMP.

The investigation into what caused the ve-hicle to go off the road is still under investiga-tion and the search for the missing driver con-tinues, say RCMP.

The accident was reported just before 3 p.m. when a Ter-race Search and Res-cue member, travelling on the highway, saw the vehicle go into the Skeena River, says Dave Jephson from Terrace Search and Rescue.

He stopped and other motorists also stopped and helped him prepare for responding search and rescue crews who were called along with police, said Jeph-son.

Permit process begins on Riverbrook EstatesCameron Orr

For Kitimat it may be an unusual sched-ule, but the develop-ment permit process for the proposed River-brook Estates on Liard Street has begun.

Historically devel-opment permits don’t usually come this early in a plan, which for some councillors seemed to essentially put the cart before the horse. The permit would set the design attributes for the build-ings and landscaping.

The trick on this process is the rezon-ing application is still working its way through the stages of bureaucracy, so coun-cillors were concerned

that accepting a devel-opment permit would be, in effect, predeter-mining the outcome of the zoning.

Leonard Kerkhoff, development manager for Kerkhoff Construc-tion which will build the Liard addition, said it’s more common in places like Vancouver to deal with a develop-ment permit concur-rently to zoning.

“We held back a little bit on the devel-opment permit appli-cation just to give the rezoning a chance to get ahead,” said Kerk-hoff.

He said the hope is that if all goes to plan the development per-mit and the zoning will

be approved at rela-tively the same time.

“And it lets us get in to the pre-sale mar-keting following that.”

But councillor Phil Germuth said it’s not how Kitimat Council has done it in the past.

“I see no rush to do this right now,” he said, saying it will be six months anyway be-fore the land can begin to be cleared.

Rob Goffinet also agreed it felt rushed, and that with last Mon-day’s scheduled public hearing on the zoning aspect, residents might not get enough time to make comments.

The public hearing for the zoning is part of a separate process

for reviewing develop-ment permits, which does still allow time for public comment.

The motion to re-fer the development permit application to the Advisory Planning Commistion, and to issue notice to neigh-bours to seek com-ment, did pass, with Germuth and Goffinet still opposed by the time a vote was called.

Feldhoff moved the recommendation, saying it moves the process forward.

“In no way are we pre-judging the outcome of the public hearing on the zoning question,” he said.

Mary Murphy agreed with approving

the motion, saying not doing so just drags the

process out even lon-ger.

Telus plans for new Kitimat towerCameron Orr

Telus is planning to construct a new 50 metre tower at the Rio Tinto Alcan smelter.

Notice has been issued on Telus’ plans, but there’s not many concrete details quite yet, said Telus’ media spokesperson Liz Sauvé.

“Telus is looking at investing more than half a million dollars to enhance wireless service in the area, in direct response to demand from the lo-cal community,” she said through e-mail. “We’re currently in the consultation phase and don’t have many concrete details to share just yet...The pub-lic consultation phase, where we’re inviting resi-dents to send us any questions, comments or feed-back, ends September 22.

“This site will specifically improve wireless coverage in the industrial area in south Kitimat and the inlet near [Kitamaat Village], including the village itself. In addition, it will add wireless capacity to the Town Centre of Kitimat.”

The tower would complement Telus’s exist-ing tower opposite the Public Safety Building. That tower is 45 metres tall.

Moving refinery aheadDavid Black is

hoping to submit his refinery for an envi-ronmental review in the coming months.

“I hope in Sep-tember, I hope this month,” he said. He has been waiting for engineering reports over the summer, he said.

M e a n w h i l e though, he’s contin-ued to talk about the project to provincial and federal govern-ment representatives, and recently spoke to the Kitselas on it as well. In November he’s expecting the re-port from Hatch En-gineering which will include the refinery configuration, com-

ponents and diagrams and will firm up the plans.

“Also quite im-portantly, an estimate of capital costs,” add-ed Black.

He said he has the potential customer for the refinery lined up with China who he said has committed to buying gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Black says he can get financing for the re-finery as well through China. The ongoing challenges he lists now include build-ing the social licence, and getting consensus from all the stake-holders — including the public and First Nations.


Tomorrow, September 18, 2014, could be a historically momentous day in my homeland, Scotland.

Especially if voters in that little country cast enough ballots to effect Scotland’s independence from the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

The debate has been raging for decades, but it was only late last year, on November 14, 2013, following an agreement between the Scottish and the British governments, that the Scot-tish Independence referendum bill, setting out the terms for a referendum, was passed by the Scottish parliament. It received Royal Assent on 17 Decem-ber 2013.

Royal Assent, I guess you have to live with the current system if you want to engineer a vote to elect out of that system.

When I was a young man, born, bred and working as a journalist in Scotland, I was very strongly in favour of what was then known as “home rule.”

Since about the mid-30s that has been the avowed objective of the Scot-tish National Party, although earlier Labour Party entities had been touting home rule since the 1920s.

London and England, many Scots

would say, has been extremely patron-izing about Scotland, Wales and North-ern Ireland, partners in the Union, for years — maybe beyond patronizing, more like arrogantly superior. Pre-sumptuous? Domineering, overbear-ing, even cavalier?

All of that seemed to come to a jarring halt last week when the British government checked the latest polls and found, to their surprise, that this vote could pass and that it wouldn’t be just for a short time, but likely forever.

Reaction was swift. Suddenly the Scottish � ag was being raised at the Prime Minister’s residence, 10 Down-ing Street. An exercise that failed at � rst, as the � ag dropped out of its moorings on the way up. A sign of things to come?

The referendum question is sim-ple. “Should Scotland be an indepen-dent country?” Quali� ed voters can only answer yes or no. While there are

a few exception, some of them contro-versial, all residents in Scotland over 16 can vote, representing over 4 mil-lion people. Only a simple majority is required to vote for independence.

Of course the simpler the question, the easier it is to raise objections to the purpose.

And the questions have been many and varied — historical, economic, po-litical — and of course, just as in the Quebec referendum in Canada, highly emotional.

Also, as in Canada, the referen-dum has bogged down frequently with an array of peculiar arguments, court appeals and debate on the wording of “the question.”

Among numerous issues raised during the campaign was the ques-tion of which currency an independent Scotland would use, terms of taxation and, most contentious, the ownership of North Sea oil.

This seems to be settled — it will belong to an independent Scotland, but I suspect we haven’t heard the end of that one, no matter what the outcome.

The debate evolved two main campaign organizations, “Yes Scot-land” and its status-quo opposition,

Taking the “U” out of the “UK”

Keeping the paceThere’s those moments where you can see the

gaps between how a small town has always run and what ‘outsiders’ think is a reasonable path.

The proponents behind Riverbrook Estates want to build what I’d almost call a ‘micro neighbour-hood’ on Liard and Konigus Street. They updated council on their plans last week, ahead of a develop-ment permit application being debated.

I’m beginning to run out of � ngers for how many times Leonard Kerkhoff has been to our council, which I say as a good thing that a developer is very open about their project, but what got my attention was a remark he made about development permits being done at the same time as zoning applications. It is something that’s commonly done elsewhere, like in Vancouver, he said.

The response from a few councillors is that the development permit being addressed now might im-pact the zoning application. It’s also how Kitimat’s always done it.

If you’re looking for my own opinion on this is-sue I see no problem addressing (but not � nalizing) the development permit at this stage. A development permit asks a separate question from zoning. Zon-ing (if I’m not mistaken) is like putting a Lego set together, deciding how close to pack the pieces, how tall, and for what purpose.

The development permit is deciding what co-lours and materials to use, and generally how the place will look and � t in with the neighbourhood.

(Don’t ask me where branded Lego like Star Wars comes in, I haven’t thought this far ahead.)

That whole process aside, and back to a “how they do things in Vancouver versus here” question, it’s telling that Kitimat is in an interesting time. With developers jockeying to get set up ahead of potential-ly lucrative times in Kitimat, the town policy mak-ers are going to keep dealing with very professional out� ts from places that do business differently from Kitimat.

With international attention we’ll be challenged as a community to look at our old ways and decide how, or if, we want to alter our old routines.

I’m not saying lets do things like Vancouver, be-cause we’re not Vancouver, but cases like this where our council is unsure whether to issue notice for a development permit or not because the same people want to � gure out zoning at the same time shows that we’re potentially out of pace with who’s coming to town.

Regardless of whether the answers are yes or no to any particular development, Council should at least consider how fast we’re running compared to business.

A quick guide to potential election candidatesDear Sir,

Last time I wrote about what electors should look for in a candidate for Mayor or Council members. This week I’d like to offer my opinion of what candidates should expect. Over the past two years, the District of Kitimat has become very busy with the interest shown by industry wishing to lo-cate here.

Regular meetings of Council are con-ducted twice a month, and every other week a Committee of the Whole meeting can be scheduled. In the past few years it is normal for a meeting to take place every Monday night. Various business and indus-trial leaders have visited Kitimat and wish to meet with Mayor and Council as well. More recently, developers are also com-ing to Kitimat wishing to build, and want to meet with Council. The current Coun-cil has worked diligently to establish better relations with neighboring municipalities including the Haisla First Nation and lo-cal industry, which also requires additional

meetings. Be prepared for two, three or more meetings per week. Frequently some of these meetings are held on weekends as well.

The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) and Deputy CAO are responsible for all administrative matters, hiring, firing and supervising staff. Council is respon-sible for setting policies, which gives di-rection to the CAO, adopting bylaws and approving the budget. Mayor and Coun-cil do not give direction to staff members except through the CAO or Deputy CAO. The Mayor needs to work closely with the CAO, but not usurp his time from his duties in managing the operations.

The CAO and Deputy CAO are always willing to help Mayor and Council in doing research, etc., but the elected officials need to be respectful of their and the staff’s time as well.

A number of outstanding issues need to be worked on that Council should consider over the next few years. Robin Rowland,

Editor of Northwest Coast Energy News (nwcoastenergynews.com) wrote an excel-lent article on August 20, 2014 suggesting that Kitimat needs to rewrite the develop-ment permit standards, look at development guidelines and permit rules that can act as a guideline for future changes that reflect the Clarence Stein vision for Kitimat as a Garden City, and rewrite the Official Com-munity Plan with a strong well-defined ap-proach. This article is well-written and a recommended read for new candidates.

A second issue related to planning for the District of Kitimat (DOK) is to budget and plan for replacement of municipal fa-cilities, including the Fire Hall, Adminis-tration Office, Museum, Information Cen-tre, etc. over the next 10 years.

A third issue for planning is the poten-tial need for an industrial bypass road and

west side industrial corridor, along with three new bridges between here and Ter-race. A potential route could be planned in advance and be included in the OCP.

A fourth issue to do with planning and development is passing a bylaw to require all new developments to provide accessi-bility. ie. Commercial buildings with au-tomatic door openers, properly equipped handicap washroom facilities, easy access to multiple floors, etc.

Another issue to be dealt with is im-provements to the landfill and larger recy-cling facilities. These are just a few issues that are not completed, and I’m sure that the residents could add a number more. I’ve just provided food for thought for cam-paign issues, and I hope that all, or some of them, will be addressed.

Kitimat needs bright, enthusiastic, achievers on Council in November. Do you fit the bill? Food for thought.

A response to Tom Fletcher’s column on B.C.’s coastal ferriesDear Sir

Re: Bleak sum-mer for coastal ferry remake (B.C. Views, Sentinel, Sept. 10).

My grandson and I took the ferry from Port Hardy to Bella Coola on Aug. 19. The leg from Port Hardy to Bella Bella on the Northern Expedi-tion was like taking a Vancouver Island-mainland ferry, all the services, over-priced shops, etc. (except Wi-Fi) with boring wide expanses of water and an occasional light-house.

After we unload-

ed at Bella Bella and the Nimpkish pulled in, my grandson and I were very leery of the trip onward. What a surprise was in store.

The journey to Bella Coola was a won-derful experience, with only about 25 people on board.

The passengers mingled and chatted, exchanging observa-tions, family stories and discussing the wonderful scenery.

The captain and crew went to great lengths to entertain us and we were informed of the surroundings,

the possible sightings of wildlife, etc. We were able to stand at the bow in the sunshine and light breeze or on the aft lounge in the protection of the super-structure.

The ferry actually stopped close to shore while we were taking photos of petroglyphs, and once again when we stopped at the Al-exander MacKenzie Rock, while the captain gave a history and pro-vide a large photograph to allow us to pick out the Canadian Heritage artifact.

When we debarked

at Bella Coola the passengers gathered, thanked and congratu-

lated the crew on the voyage.

Services were

minimal, but free snacks and soft drinks were available, and

no one starved.George MorrowQualicum Beach

Continued from page 4“Better Together” and, as expect-ed, has been hot and heavy.

But it wasn’t until very re-cently the polls showed a poten-tial win for independence. The British Government was urgently forced to step up the argument, although it’s still covered by an earlier statement that ‘if a simple majority of the votes cast are in favour of independence, then “Scotland would become an in-dependent country after a process

of negotiations”.If the majority is against

independence, Scotland would continue within the United King-dom.

However, last week, Prime Minister David Cameron and opposition Labour Party leader, Ed Miliband fanned out across Scotland to get hands-on in the debate.

It was an emotional Camer-on, who acknowledged his Con-servative Party’s unpopularity

in Scotland, where it holds only one of the 59 House of Commons seats.

He got more down and dirty, warning the people of Scotland not to vote Yes simply because they’re “fed up with the ‘effing Tories’ and want to “give them a kick.”

He appealed, “I would be heartbroken if this family of na-tions was torn apart. Don’t for one second think the rest of the U.K. is indifferent. These islands

are our home. It’s our country that we love. The rest of the U.K. is watching, listening, holding our breath.”

Nationalist leader, Alex Sal-mond, the first minister in the semi-autonomous Scottish gov-ernment, quite rightly character-ized the coordinated campaign visits by the three main U.K. par-ty leaders as a “panicky” boost to the independence movement’s case.

I guess there will be plenty

of urgent warnings, pleadings and political hanky-panky in the next few days, but tomorrow will tell the tale — if the 307-year-old Union will break up, during the 700th anniversary of the famous battle of Bannockburn, where the Scots routed “proud Edward’s” English Army.

My personal common-sense bet, against my emotion-al urges, is that cooler headswill prevail and the UK will re-main the UK.

Cameron OrrThe provincial

government began a series of workshops last week which has the government work-ing with First Nations on environmental stewardship programs.

The Liquefied Natural Gas Environ-mental Stewardship Initiative workshops were held in Fort St. John, Prince Rupert, Smithers and Prince George.

Thirty-five First Nations involved in LNG negotiations took part, along with government and in-dustry representatives.

The government says the initiative was a response to First Na-tions seeking a gov-ernment commitment to more collaborative forms of environmen-tal management.

First Nations, the government says through a news re-lease, have also in-dicated an interest in working with govern-ment to identify spe-cific environmental restoration and habitat enhancement projects in areas affected by resource development, which the stewardship initiative is intended to address.

Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross meanwhile hasn’t been entirely sold on this stewardship ini-tiative and is taking a wait and see approach to how it folds out.

“We’re monitor-ing what’s happen-ing there,” said Ross. “The only reason we’re monitoring it is because we’ve es-tablished a working relationship at the ground level...we’ve been working at that for 10 years to the point now where we

think we have a very good working relation-ship with B.C. where it counts.”

He said the chair-person of their lands and referrals commit-tee and the staff person

in charge of receiving project referral letters from the province have attended the workshop to gather information on this process.

“Environmental stewardship has so

many different defi-nitions depending on who you talk to,” add-ed Ross.

At the Haisla level they already have what they call the Reconcil-liation Protocol, a doc-

ument they’ve devel-opment over the course of a decade which sets out how the Haisla and the province communi-cate.

With that protocol already in practice he

wants to now know what the government is referring to as stew-ardship through these workshops.

The province says this initiative comple-ments the existing

regulatory process and advances the col-laborative relationship between First Nations, governments and in-dustry on key environ-mental management topics.

Organizers double up on film festivalCameron Orr

Kitimat Search and Rescue are bringing back their largest annual fundraiser, the Banff Mountain Film Festival.

But this year organizers have responded to the heavy demand and will bring two shows to town, one geared to even more edgier sports.

“The Radical Reels tour, this will be our first year flying that test balloon and seeing what kind of reception we get,” said SAR mem-ber and film fest organizer Kelly Marsh. “It’s more of an action sports films. The high energy, the extreme sports from independent filmmak-ers.”

He said demand for a second show was ob-vious from people not able to see last year’s films.

“Once we sold out the Banff Mountain Film Festival a couple of times we saw the need,” he said. “People lined up at the door to get tickets and weren’t able to.”

The Radical Reels show is on October 3, and the Banff Mountain Film Festival is on Oc-tober 11, both at Mount Elizabeth Theatre.

“This is Kitimat Search and Rescue’s big-gest fundraiser of the year,” said Marsh. “We’re all volunteers and depend on fundraising to be able to put on our essential courses and [ac-quire] much needed equipment.”

This year they’re going to use the money raised to purchase iPads and special communi-cators that will allow rescuers in the field to not only communicate outside of cell range but to plot their location in to programs like Google Earth in real time.

Eleanor Kendell of the Kitimat Rotary Club stands behind Mayor Joanne Monaghan as she signs the District of Kitimat’s Proclamation for the International Day of Peace forSeptember 21.

LNG Canada drafts promise to KitimatCameron Orr

The manager of communica-tions for LNG Canada says a new Community Commitment Docu-ment is the � rst of its kind among the business partners in their venture.

A draft of the document was presented to community members at an open house last Thursday where company representatives got out the red pen to mark what residents want to see from the company.

The initial draft has paragraphs dedicated to subjects such as ensur-ing health and safety remain impor-tant to their operation, as well as to the natural environment.

Communications Manager Katharine Birtwhistle said their grassroots approach is unique, even if similar documents do exist for other projects.

“We started this as a thought-process earlier in the year on how LNG Canada should behave in the community, or what behaviours

you’d like to see from us,” she said.The company held some focus

groups through the spring to get them to the draft that was on display last week.

“We want to build up a level of trust and honesty where you think you can ask anything and we’ll give you the best answer about what we know at that point in time.”

She says the agreement is not a legal document but she hopes will allow the community to hold LNG Canada to account both through op-eration and, far down the line, even-tual decommissioning.

“This is long-term, we’re going to be here for the long term,” she said. “After the long term there’s also the point where we will leave but we’re not looking to do that for many a year. Also when we leave, how do we behave?”

The company is expected to for-mally sign the agreement at some time in October.


Regional district set to begin curbside pick-up in rural areasKitimat-Stikine regional district resi-

dents will be introduced to a new program for garbage collection early next month with the introduction of curbside pick up and recycling.

The program, several years in the making and approved by regional district directors last month, goes into effect as of Oct. 6 for residences in the communities of Chimdemash, Usk, Gossan, Kleanza, Copperside Estates, New Remo, Old Remo, North Terrace, Thornhill, Jackpine Flats and the Lakelse Lake highway acces-sible areas.

Residents in the affected areas will also be charged $200 a year for the ser-vice.

That fee will take in the hiring of con-tract collectors and running the program and processing the material that will be collected for recycling.

On pick up days, all bins are to be put within six feet of the roadway before 8 a.m. Recyclables are to be stowed away in

durable bags in the bin with lids fastened.Bins are to be brought back inside be-

fore 10 p.m.The regional district is not a partner

in the Multi-Material BC program and so does not receive special funding to cover costs of their program.

The regional district will be trucking its material to a depot in Prince Rupert run by the Skeena – Queen Charlottes Region-al District.

The regional district does, however, plan to have its own processing facility eventually.

The introduction of curbside garbage pick up and recycling has not been without its controversy.

Doug McLeod, elected in 2011 as the regional district director for the area to come under the new garbage pickup and recycling system, resigned at the end of August saying residents should have the choice of going to a referendum.

McLeod said he wasn’t convinced a

majority of the residents wanted the ser-vice as being set up.

In general, McLeod said there was too much secrecy surrounding regional dis-trict decisions.

Gordon Gillam, who lives at Lakelse Lake, is one of the residents who doesn’t like that compulsory garbage collection is coming to residents with the added cost of $200.

He said residents didn’t get a chance to participate in that decision.

“I resent that the regional district doesn’t want to listen to anyone in the community,” said Gillam.

And he says his neighbours are also “totally frustrated.”

Gillam says he’s quite happy with what he does now, which is take his gar-bage to the Thornhill dump once a week.

Many people who live at the lake are only there for three months of the year, June, July and August but they will soon get a bill for garbage collection for 12

months a year, which doesn’t make sense, he said.

The other problem with mandatory garbage pickup is if people have to haul their garbage cans out to the end of their driveways, some of which are very long, in winter this could be challenging if not impossible, because sometimes there’s a four-foot dump of snow to get through.

There’s no sidewalks or curbs out at the lake either, Gillam continued.

Gillam, who has lived in the area for more than 20 years, says the regional dis-trict has often been secretive.

What he wants to see are referenda on specific issues with a simple question, “Do you want it? Yes or No?”

And the residents aren’t asking for compulsory garbage pickup.

“If the people were lined up and yell-ing and screaming for this service, [fine], but it’s the opposite,” he said. “They don’t want any more taxes.”

Draft housing plan from province complete but details not released just yetCameron Orr

A plan that will outline Kitimat’s housing needs and gaps has reached the draft stage.

The study for Kiti-mat is part of a series of housing studies for areas within the North-ern Development Ini-

tiative Trust area, all done under the banner of Northwest Readi-ness Project.

Funding for the project came from a pair of grants total-ling $1 million for the region from the Ministry of Com-munity Sport and

Cultural Develop-ment.

The money was set to be split 50/50 to both review infrastruc-ture capacity in com-munities, and for com-munities to do work to determine land use planning as communi-ties expand.

The government said at the time of the announcement of the money that those land use studies could in-clude things like hous-ing afford ability.

The actual details

of the report have yet to be publicly released but a draft version has been making rounds to community stakehold-ers, including the Kiti-mat Council and to lo-cal housing advocates.

Mayor Joanne Monaghan didn’t spill the beans on what was in the draft but did speak to its impor-tance to Kitimat’s de-velopment.

“I think it was very

important we have that study because a lot of the entrepreneurs coming in here want to build. They don’t know what kind of housing they should be building,” she said.

Police beatContinued from page 2

September 4At 12:22 a.m. an intoxicated

person was reported, apparently banging on doors telling occu-pants she was lost, and flagging down cars. She was held in cells overnight and released in the morning.

September 5Police were alerted to a bear

cub in the trees near the Haisla Boulevard overpass. Police did not see a mother bear near but as the bear cub in the trees posed no immediate threat officers al-lowed the bear to make its own way out.

At 3:48 p.m. police were called on a report of a pos-sible domestic dispute but actu-ally found a 16-year-old and a 12-year-old arguing over money. Police warned the children to keep their arguments at a lower volume so not to disturb the out-side world.

September 6A 48-year-old intoxicated

driver was spotted when an of-ficer saw the van make a strange lane change, in addition to the van not having tail lights. Both screening tests resulted in “fail” and a 90-day roadside prohibi-tion.

At 8:58 p.m. police were called to gunshot-type noises and eventually traced the sound to fireworks being let off near Starling Street. Person setting them off, from Quebec, said it was a special day in Quebec and he was celebrating. Person co-operated when police told him fireworks can only be set off at certain times of year.

September 7Police were called at 3:32

p.m. by a possible break and en-ter in progress. Police however found the “suspect” in the garage having a beer. The person is ac-tually allowed in the home by the homeowner and was not break-ing in. The caller was informed of the arrangement to avoid fu-ture calls.

Almeida is al-making a big name for himselfCameron Orr

Kitimat native Justin Almeida is rapidly rising in the ranks of B.C.’s hockey � nest.

His star shone even brighter over the summer when in July Hockey Now magazine named him the Minor Hockey Player of the Year.

“It was really special,” said Al-meida on learning he had won. “I’ve seen a lot of [the list’s] names be-fore and there’s great hockey play-ers that got it.”

He’s currently playing for the Cariboo Cougars but hopes to be playing for the Prince George Cou-gars by next year.

Naturally his ambition lies in eventually being drafted to play in the NHL.

He said he credits his work eth-ic and his “hockey IQ” as key fac-tors which led to his title.

The publisher for Hockey Now, Larry Feist, says the selection com-mittee for Player of the Year is a collection of top-shelf coaches and scouts from the hockey world.

The committee is chaired by Dave Babych, who has played on a number of teams in the NHL.

Feist says each month the com-mittee works through a list of no-table players as they eventually � -nalize the top contenders for Player

of the Year.He said the International Scout-

ing Service (ISS) is part of that committee which speaks to the quality of selections.

“They’re the worldwide leader in scouting,” he said. “Every NHL team buys their scouting list.”

As for what they look for in players, it’s a comprehensive list.

“The person’s got to be an ex-ceptional hockey player, and from there it usually boils down to three to six players, and the committee really gets in to meeting and talk-ing about character, school...off-ice involvement,” said Feist.

“Just having a really good char-acter...in tandem with exceptional hockey skill.”

On the Hockey Now website, Babych is quoted saying, “I know some of the kids that have won this award, before. You can see the im-portance of being a well-rounded person. Not everyone is going to make the NHL but the guys who are well-rounded always seem to be successful in life.”

The � rst B.C. Minor Hockey Player of the Year award went to Surrey’s Colin Fraser. Fraser went on to be a two-time Stanley Cup champion, once with the Chicago Blackhawks come and once with the Los Angeles Kings.
