The provincial government is spending $200,000 for inter-section improvements at Haisla Boulevard and Kitamaat Vil-lage Road.

That intersection is effectively the spot where Highway 37S ends and Haisla Boulevard, the municipally maintained section of road, begins.

The spending is part of the B.C. government’s 10 year transportation plan, which includes $30 million for intersection safety improvements over three years.

Minister of Transportation Todd Stone, in town for the an-nouncement, said the improvements will include better sight-lines and he also mentioned a traf� c island, however there were no visuals available to how the intersection would look.

The work will be done quickly though, anticipated to be completed before the construction season ends this year, and work will begin in August or September, he says.

“It’s one of a number of intersections we are intent on im-proving in this corridor,” said Stone at the event July 27.

Mayor Phil Germuth said he’s looking forward to other work such as the intersection at Cable Car and at the land� ll.

Stone said that the two additional intersections will be con-tenders for the next two years of the three-year intersection im-provement plan.

Other transportation issues weren’t lost on the minister, but said work is ongoing for those.

Those issues being looked at are the Haisla Bridge as an aging but critical bit of local infrastructure, and development of the West Side Road, which would run down the west side of the Douglas Channel.

“There is a corridor analysis underway in terms of the West Side Road, and that is coming along. There’s still a bit more work to � nish that off,” said Stone. “We’re well aware of the situation with the Haisla Bridge and absolutely agree that it will be a critical choke point that will need to be addressed, particularly once � nal investment decisions are reached with some of the LNG projects that anticipate being built here.”

Stone noted increased funding in the B.C. On the Move plan which provides resources for bridges and secondary high-ways.

“Haisla Bridge will be a good candidate, potentially, for consideration,” he said of that program.

He added that the province would likely look to the federal government for support on funding Haisla Bridge.

“We’re having discussions with the municipality and the federal government, and potentially proponents as well that will bene� t from that bridge being upgraded.”

Intersection improvements wasn’t the only funding an-nouncement made in Kitimat last week.

Member of Parliament for the Prince George area Bob Zimmer was also on hand to announce federal funding to � x-up Kitimat’s sewage waste water treatment centre.

The government announced $1.2 million for the project, which is being paid for through a one-third cost sharing with the province and the municipality.

“In addition to a structural retro� t of the plant, the project will include replacing the pumps, the ventilation, � ltration con-trol and aeration systems,” said Zimmer.

$200K for intersection work

LNG jobs no certaintyCameron Orr

The provincial government has been touting 100,000 jobs connected to the LNG industry in B.C., but a new report is telling the public to dial their expectations down.

“We � nd that this claim is not credible and that potential employment impacts have been grossly overstated,” the report, authored by Marc Lee from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alterna-tives, states in its opening paragraph.

The report continues that they see 2,000 to 3,000 construction jobs provided per plant over three years, and 200 to 300 permanent workers.

Drawing on the experiences of Australia, the report says that in 2014 there were 13,000 con-struction workers building three LNG facilities.

It also goes on to suggest that the third-party jobs analysis commissioned by the province was only done to provide the appearance of indepen-dence, given that the consultancy Grant Thornton used numbers and models provided by the prov-ince.

Under that report’s assumption of � ve operat-ing LNG plants in B.C., it said it would employ 2,400, which the report says is, too, an overstate-ment, “based on real-world experience from Aus-tralia or Maine,” and that there may be closer to 1,700 jobs, it says.

For Kitimat’s own projects, Kitimat LNG, the Chevron-led project, said they anticipate 4,500 to-tal people for construction, which includes 1,500 working on the Paci� c Trail Pipeline.

Shell-led LNG Canada expects, at the highest end, 7,500 jobs including contractors in construc-tion.

July 21Police responded to a ve-

hicle on fire at a Service Cen-tre business. Police discovered two vehicles had been damaged by fire, one completely. Police determined it was arson and are continuing to investigate.

July 24Another vehicle was dis-

covered burned as police were investigating a stolen vehicle file. A car was taken from an

apartment building lot and items from the car were dis-covered tossed on a rural road, before the vehicle was eventu-ally reported found and burned. Police are still investigating the file too.

Police responded to a three-vehicle collision on Hais-la Bridge which stopped traffic in both directions. A pick-up truck was found lying on the driver’s side, with a discon-

nected boat trailer. An older sedan suffered massive front-end damage as well, police say. Police determined the trailer had begun to swerve over the metal bridge, and the driver of the pick-up over-corrected and lost control. Two persons were taken to the hospital for injuries. It was also learned the truck driver did not have a valid driver’s licence and will have to appear in court as well.

Above, the Ministry of Transportation provided this image as an idea of how the Haisla Boulevard/Kitamaat Village Road intersection could be re-developed. The existing intersection does have challenges and Kitimat’s Fire Chief Trent Bossence says that while he doesn’t have the hard numbers it has been a location where ambulance crews have had to be sent for a number of incidents, but that is looking back over the course of years, he says. The town’s waste water treatment plant is also getting modernized.

Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, August 5, 2015 3

Continued from page 1LNG Canada say there will be 300 to 400 jobs

during the first phase of their operations as well, and up to 800 employed at a full build out of four trains.

Chevron said they don’t have an estimate for the operational job figures as it depends on design work currently underway.

They also say there will be jobs created in the upstream portions of the project but Chevron only recently took on operation of the upstream natural gas assets and don’t have a figure on that either.

The smaller Douglas Channel LNG project projects up to 70 people for operations, and at most 125 people for construction.

In all that puts Kitimat’s contribution of con-

struction job estimates, at its highest estimate, at 12,125 people.

For operations that is just under 900 people estimated among two projects at their highest capacity, but doesn’t include Kitimat LNG for which Chevron could not provide estimates.

“The narrow focus of the report ignores the province wide benefits of LNG.

From suppliers to contractors to professional services, the LNG industry will create thousands of new permanent jobs to support the industry long after the construction phase,” said David Ke-ane.

“When operational, the plants will provide new revenues to all levels of government that may well run into billions of dollars every year.”

LNG jobs

A planned gold mine northwest of Stewart has now re-ceived the blessing of the federal gov-ernment.

Federal environ-ment minister Leona Aglukkaq signed off on the Brucejack project owned by Pretium Resources, following a federal environmental as-sessment.

She further found the project met assessment standards laid down for the Nisga’a Na-tion in accordance with its 2000 final governance agree-ment.

“I have de-termined that the designated project can reasonably be expected to result in adverse, but not significant, envi-ronmental effects on Nisga’a interests related to fisheries, wildlife, migratory birds, and access for Nisga’a citizens to the Nass Area...” stated Aglukkaq.

Failure to use fall protection equipment, a lack of supervision and risk assessment are factors in the death of a contract worker on the Northwest Transmis-sion Line north of Ter-race last year, accord-ing to a WorkSafe BC Incident Investigation Report.

While the cause of death was the worker not securing a safety lanyard that would have prevented a fall, consistent supervision “should have ensured that workers tied off.”

The two companies involved in the project, Valard and McGregor Construction 2000 Ltd., also knew that the crane operator didn’t have the required certification in B.C., said the report.

Michael Todd Thornewell, 45, died of massive head trauma after falling 22m (75 ft) from a work platform, about 50 km north of Terrace on March 15, 2014, said the coroner’s report released earlier this year.

NEWS BRIEFS

M1 zone passes finish lineCameron Orr

The amendment to the M1 Zone was formally adopted by council on July 20, which sets contributions to the town’s af-fordable housing fund.

The process capped off a lengthy public hearing process.

Mayor Phil Germuth says the amendment will benefit Kitimat by providing afford-able housing options to the community which will offset potential challenges with fu-ture construction.

Kitimat saw a housing crunch during the construction work for the Rio Tinto Alcan modernization which resulted in low vacancy and high rental rates.

The town already set con-tribution requirements for in-town work camps, namely so far a requirement of the Civeo lodge proposal and Horizon North, and this amendment, says the mayor, means the town can collect contributions from all camps that are installed in the industrial areas as well.

“We started a bylaw for camps outside the M1 zone, so that would be the Civeo camp and the Horizon North camp,” said Germuth, before council expanded to look at those with-in M1.

The contributions are effec-tively $500 per bed, although the bylaw has provisions that a developer can instead build

the affordable housing units directly.

“In reality that works out even better for the community,” he said. “It takes away from us having to get builders together and manage a project.”

Germuth notes that work camps do in a sense go a ways towards solving housing issues during construction but council still found it valuable to find benefits for the community at large from the projects.

Support, he adds, isn’t al-ways coming from other level of governments on affordable housing.

“You had to find some way to do [affordable housing],” he said.

Well, the 2015 federal election is beginning to heat up and some of the heat recently is being directed at the federal Conservative government by Canadian citizens who have been liv-ing abroad for more than � ve years, who have been able to vote provided occasional returns to Canada have been registered.

Expats have been left up in the air, however, since the Ontario Court of Appeal overturned the rule disen-franchising Canadians who have been abroad for more than � ve years, en-acted in 1993 amid debate about the strength of their ties to Canada and their understanding of domestic poli-tics.

However, the � ve-year clock was reset for those who returned even for short visits until 2007, when Elections Canada began enforcing a require-ment for expats to “resume residency” in Canada to regain their right to vote abroad.

The Conservative govern-ment had argued the � ve-year rule

was reasonable and in line withinternational norms.

“Permitting all non-resident citi-zens to vote would allow them to par-ticipate in making laws that affect Ca-nadian residents on a daily basis, but have little to no practical consequence for their own daily lives,” Justice George Strathy wrote for the majority of the court’s judges.

Prominent among protestors of the court decision was august and proli� c Canadian actor Donald Sutherland, 80, who railed in an opinion piece pub-lished in the Globe and Mail entitled, “I’m Canadian — and I have a right to vote.”

Sutherland, born in Saint John,

N.B., still has a home in Canada and insists he’s proud of his Canadian citi-zenship.

In fact, he says he’s refused to ob-tain U.S. citizenship even though he spends much of his time living and working south of the border. “We live in Canada all the time we can. Our family house is here.”

Sutherland also wryly explains, “In 1978, that’s nearly 40 years ago, the Canadian government made me an Of� cer of the Order of Canada. The Governor-General gave me the Gov-ernor-General’s Award a while back. I am on your Walk of Fame in Toronto. But I can’t vote.”

Questions began when two Ca-nadian citizens living in the United States launched a constitutional chal-lenge arguing the � ve-year rule was arbitrary and unreasonable.

Both argued they had only left for educational and employment opportu-nities and still had strong attachments to Canada and a stake in its future.

Expat voter spat has actor up to bat

100,000 questionThe Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives has

come out with a new report that challenges the B.C. government’s 100,000 jobs promise from the LNG industry.

Now, sure, that 100,000 number seemed more political than practical when it was made. And it still seems unrealistic, actually.

That’s a super large number, and it’s hard to un-derstand where that � gure would come from, or how it was really made.

As you may have seen, through three proposed projects in Kitimat the construction-side speci� cally will total just over 12,000 people.

There would have to be a lot of projects going forward to reach 100,000 province-wide.

There are some questions that the CCPA report does leave for me though. For instance they talk about the prevalence of the � y-in, � y-out culture of resource projects, noting the oil sands as a case in point.

The report also notes the use of temporary for-eign workers in projects such as the Kitimat Modern-ization Project.

On those topics I feel the issue is a little more grey than they’re making out. For example the KMP had a different problem than � y-in, � y-out; lots of people staying in town. That’s what contributed to the housing crunch and the renoviction issue around town.

And my understanding is that the use of tempo-rary foreign workers on KMP wasn’t all that signi� -cant.

In fact with the project done we might be in bet-ter shape with more people trained to work on large projects than before KMP.

Not to deny that there are TFWs in projects here and in other northern projects, but my sense was through the project there was a big push to get non-temporary workers, while there was a push by many organizations to develop training programs too.

The ‘temporary’ workers, whether foreign or Canadian, also made positive contributions to the town, to add; the workers who rescued a local person from a car accident, and the light-hearted rap about Kitimat and all its rain.

The CCPA had been referred to in media reports as left leaning and getting to the conclusion of the report I can begin to see why. Not saying it’s right or wrong, but the report concludes with a sudden shift in the last few paragraphs that the government should embrace climate change plans that would “create far more jobs than LNG.”

I’m on board with keeping the environment at the forefront, but it throws the purpose of the re-port in to question when you reach the end and get a sense of what they’re really after. Yes, 100,000 is really high, but the industry is still worth it, despite the implication here.

Continued from page 1Mayor Germuth says the entire cost of the

sewage treatment project is $3.6 million.“The current sewage treatment plant was put

in to operation in the early 1970s. It has performed well but is now operating at maximum capacity,” he said.

He said the completed treatment centre will be able to support a stable future population of 12,000.

Director of Engineering Tim Gleig says that

the efficacy of the center varies seasonally and it’s challenging to name a maximum population level the facility supports at the moment but that with recent construction in the area it was probably supporting 10-11,000 people.

“The 12,000 figure is from a study commis-sioned on our treatment plant and was given in our report to mayor and council in January of this year when requesting a letter of support and confirm-ing they would provide our one-third funding for the project,” he said via e-mail.

Mark 8:36: “What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?”

What’s it all about? You know, life; what’s it

all about? Is it,“He who dies with the

most toys wins?” Some of you may recall a

song Vera Lynne sang in the 50s called “if that’s all there is”. It went, “If that’s all there is, if that’s all there is, if that’s all there is my friend, lets keep on dancing.”

How sad. A couple of verses prior to the verse quoted above Jesus called the crowd to Him, and said, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”

That has a completely different sound to it than the world’s refrain of, “you only go round once, so get what you can.” In fact it is exactly the opposite.

“For what does it profit a man if he should gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?”

What indeed. This verse has great meaning for me personally. I remember coming to this after years of owning a business and chasing the almighty buck. We had everything that anyone could want, and yet in the end what was it worth? Without God in my life, there was just a big gaping hole that I was trying to fill with all sorts of things that only left me empty.

I understood that I could amass a fortune, gain recognition for some good that I did in our community but if I died outside of a saving re-lationship with God through faith in Christ, what was it worth? What was it worth if I couldn't spend eternity

with those I love and my Saviour who loves me and gave Himself to die for me? Not much.

We humans seem to have the propensity for being short sighted. We push the idea of our mortality to the back of our minds and lock it away, preferring to think that we will deal with death only when we have to, but when Jesus says, “ what does it profit a man”, He is encour-aging us to be far sighted. He wants us to look to the future and see that we don't need to ignore these things, but rather that we can have a broader perspective living with a sure and certain hope in Christ.

You see, we are merely a speck of dust in the universe, and yet our Creator came to us in complete hu-mility and died on a cross so that we might be saved through faith in Him. He had no possessions we would value, nothing that we would desire from a worldly view. He came only with a promise, “I am the resurrec-tion and the life, whoever believes in Me even though he dies, yet will he live.”

Friends, that’s a promise that is worth more than all the gold in the world. It's a promise that, when you believe it in faith, will change your perspective on everything and make you see “what it's all about.”

Amen

What it’s all about

Baxter is misdirectedDear Sir,

Re: Kitimat Riverbank Camping (Northern Sentinel July 29/15)Malcolm Baxter’s “Baxyard Banter” mistakenly attacks District of Kit-

imat Councils for not addressing the problems surrounding riverbank camp-ing. The facts are that the District of Kitimat did not and still does not own the riverbank lands affected. Therefore Councils were prevented from pass-ing a bylaw to regulate riverbank camping some 15 years ago. Why? The riv-erbank land in Radley Park East was then and is currently privately owned.

The new private land owners could donate these riverbank lands to the District of Kitimat. Once this occurs the District of Kitimat Council could and should pass the necessary bylaw to regulate Kitimat Riverbank camping.

It is time again for those corporations to reconsider donating these river-bank lands to the District of Kitimat.

Nostalgically submitted, Richard Wozney, Kitimat Mayor 1988 to 2008.

A multi-million dollar expansion of the Northwest Regional Airport will result in increased efficiency and comfort for de-parting passengers, says its manager.

“Passengers who are leaving are going to be here at least an hour and we want to make them comfort-able,” says Carman Hendry of a $16.4 million construction project which will ul-timately increase the size of the hold room for departing passen-gers and make it easier to go through security screening.

Hendry’s an-ticipating a fall con-struction start with completion 18 months afterward.

Involved is a ren-ovation of just over 1,100 square metres within the existing terminal and an ad-dition of just under 1,600 square meters to increase the size of the building by 40 per cent.

The expansion project was officially announced July 27

thanks to the federal and provincial gov-ernments each com-mitting $4.4 million through a joint devel-opment program.

The remainder will come from a $7 pas-senger fee first brought in last November that’s scheduled to be in place for 10 years.

The expansion was first fleshed out in a master plan prepared for the airport last year with engineering and architect drawings commissioned soon after.

An increase in passenger traffic hap-pened quicker than first anticipated, spur-ring the reason for crafting an expansion plan.

The application for the money was made to the senior govern-ments in February.

Hendry attributed the quick response of the senior govern-ments to the ability of the airport to quickly start construction.

“What they were looking for was some-thing that was shovel-ready,” he said.

“We’ve had the drawings, we’ve had the engineering aand now we have the fund-ing so we’re good to go,” he said.

When all four phases of the con-struction project are finished, baggage screening and han-dling will be separated from passenger secu-rity screening, there will be new check in counters and airline offices, the hold room for departing passen-gers will be larger and have more washrooms and a new parking lot will be developed, said Hendry.

“What this will be is a better flow for the passenger,” he added.

The expansion will also address the need for the airport to process departing passengers faster than ever before.

And that will be done by creating a new baggage check in and handling area by building out from the current security and baggage area.

“Right now the combination baggage

and passenger screen-ing line can process 60-65 people an hour. With the change, that will increase to 120 [people] an hour,” said Hendry of separat-ing the two functions. “There won’t be any cross flow of passen-gers.”

The new passen-ger security screening area and larger hold area will be created by remodeling the current hold area and taking over the space where the current air-

line offices and check in counters are.

The hold room will essentially dou-ble in size to accom-modate 200 people, the equivalent of two Q400 aircraft and one Dash 8-300 aircraft.

“What you do is design a terminal to handle the passenger load at the peak pe-riod,” said Hendry, in adding that airlines

more than ever wish to have departures and ar-rivals take place within similar timeframes.

In turn, the coun-ters and airline offices will shift toward the addition.

Hendry said each phase of the construc-tion project is de-signed so that as one is finished, it can go into service while con-struction occurs on

other phases.“The last phase

will be the new park-ing lot. During con-struction, it will act as the [material] laydown area for the project,” he said.

Hendry said the airport is the only one in the province so far to receive money from the joint federal-pro-vincial development program.

Cameron OrrExpense reports for MLAs

in B.C. had been released showing what they’ve been paid between April 1, 2014 and March 31 this year.

Skeena MLA Robin Aus-tin receives an MLA salary of $101,859.

His total travel expense claims totalled to $47,208.

While in Victoria his ac-

commodations added to 12,000. His travel within the constituency meant $6,314, and general travel was reported at $20,822.

By comparison, nearby MLA Jennifer Rice, who repre-sents the North Coast, totalled $62,927 in travel expenses. A large part of that came from the general travel expenses which were just over $31,000.

Stikine MLA Doug Don-aldson, who neighbours Skee-na to the east, had both Austin and Rice beat with $85,655 in expenses. $41,457 were re-ported for general travel costs with $11,580 reported for in-constituency travel.

It is Liberal MLA John Rustad who tops the travel expense list though, with $125,297 charged.

Northwest Regional Airport Manager Carmen Hendry says new funding will increase airport efficiency.

Continued from page 4In May last year, Superior Court Justice Mi-

chael Penny threw out the voting ban, noting that mass murderers have the right to cast ballots but long-term expats who care deeply about the country do not. Perhaps rightly so, since not a lot of legislation impacts the day to day goings-on for lifers.

There’s little doubt that Donald Suther-land qualifies as a Canadian citizen. There are 100,000 expat citizens, although only 6,000 were reported to have voted in the last election. There’s probably little doubt also where Suther-land’s vote would not go in October.

However Canadian court actions continue to give the Conservative Government fits pre-election. The sensational Senator Mike Duffy trial is scheduled to resume before the election. The pictures of ex-Tory MP and Mr. Harper’s former ethics officer Dale Del Mastro provided

the opposition with valuable election fodder as he was carted away in handcuffs and leg chains to serve a jail sentence for election fraud. Patrick Brazeau is also down the road. These are just Mr. Harper’s selections and no one knows how many other Senators won’t survive investigation.

The government has spent millions of dol-lars in a losing cause as the Supreme Court of Canada has rejected a number of laws. The CBC reported in April that the Conservatives have spent more than $4.7 million fighting 15 losing court cases, including more than $1 million on tough-on-crime measures, including manda-tory minimum sentences for gun law violations, which Mr. Harper deemed essential and the court described as “fundamentally unfair, outra-geous, abhorrent and intolerable.” Courts slow down in summer but I’d say we san expect some interesting decisions in the fall that could influ-ence voters.

Kitimat UNBC student working on next computer revolutionAs far as most

consumers need to be aware a computer is essentially a magi-cal machine that uses electricity to let us share photos of car-toon characters mak-ing humourous life observations through Facebook.

However a wall in advancement is begin-ning to loom, where circuits can only get so much smaller, a part that allows both por-table tech and faster speeds.

At the University of Northern British Columbia a team of researchers, includ-ing Kitimat’s Aaron Germuth, are at work laying the groundwork for the next computer advancement, making circuits just a mol-ecule wide.

Germuth’s work has taken him to Bos-ton, where he gave a 20-minute presenta-tion to a crowd at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engi-

neers/Association for Computing Machinery International Sympo-sium on Nanoscale Architectures.

His presentation was from informa-tion in a paper he co-wrote with Computer Science Professor Dr. Alex Aravind.

“The idea is that every two or three years we get the tran-sistors in comput-ers a little bit smaller which means we can put more of them on which means our com-puters get a little bit faster. But we’re just advancing this little bit by little bit,” said Germuth. “The future is what if we could get these things to be one molecule big?”

An interesting as-pect of Germuth’s rise in academic promi-nence is that he, like many people, didn’t actually know what he wanted to do when he applied to go to UNBC.

In fact, his desire

Aaron Germuth in this photo he submitted from his trip to Boston to present the findings from the paper he co-wrote on molecular computer circuitry.

to go was primarily driven by the fact that a lot of his friends were going too.

Even so, peer pres-sure that brings you to a university must be good peer pressure, and he’s been more than happy with his choice.

“I’m glad I went because it’s a research

intensive university and the professor to student class size means I had way more opportunities to do research with profes-sors,” he said.

His path led him from biochemistry to computer science to the joint-application he’s studying now.

“This is all just

theory now and we won’t know whether this can work until sci-ence advances to the point where we can manipulate individual molecules. And we’re getting there fast,” he said.

While Germuth was ready to graduate this year he’s opted for another year.

After that it’s any-one’s guess where he’ll go but he’s look-ing at opportunities in some graduate schools.

He even has an in-terview with Google lined up, he says.

And if you think his research will just make future game sys-tems run faster, the

implications of molec-ular computing actual-ly goes much further.

“It has a lot of cool applications,” he said. “You could have a computer flowing through your blood that can measure blood sugar.”

Suddenly smart watches seem rather quaint.

If you’ve ever wanted to see the world as birds do, it’s surprisingly not that hard.

Researcher Ann Chen from New York visited Kitimat July 25 to deliver a workshop on aerial mapping, one stop in a series tied to a research grant she received through the Fulbright-National Geographic Digital Storytelling Fellow-ship.

Her task is to visit communities along the proposed North-ern Gateway Pipelines route to use multi-media tools to piece together a kind of documentary, using mapping, video and text.

“I’m sharing these tools to show people how they can take high quality aerial photog-raphy using low-tech

means,” said Chen.The tools them-

selves were developed by a non-profit group called Public Lab.

She said using a do-it-yourself style of aerial photography means people don’t have to wait until someone with pro-fessional equipment comes along.

As a bonus too, Public Lab has a rela-tionship with Google, says Chen, which means the Internet-giant will periodically take the public images uploaded to Public Lab through their Map Knitter program to use in Google Maps.

“The work you make can become part of this larger program that everyone uses,” she said.

As for the how-to, point-and-shoot cam-eras can be affixed to

weather balloons or kites attached to a kite reel.

She personally uses a recycled juice box to house the cam-era itself and a rubber-band contraption is the basic way to keep the shutter button pressed.

Once you’re done you reel the camera back to ground and pick out the best pho-tos on the memory card. The Map Knitter program from Public Lab is free and people can use it to stitch the photos they’ve taken in to a larger map.

Chen said she’s come to the north as she has an interest in communities which face rapid changes, a fact of life in many northern communities she says.

“The landscape and the geography is changing all the time,”

she said, due to things like construction or other activity. “This is an interesting way to tell a story from a dif-

ferent perspective.” As an example,

she said she floated down the Nechako River in Vanderhoof

and took aerial photos. This was around the time of a water release by Rio Tinto Alcan. She said comparing

her photos to others on file tells an interesting story about the area and how it is impacted by industry too.

Kitimat Airshed Assessment released

Anyone holding their breath over

ever seeing the Kitimat Airshed Assess-

ment can breath easier now with its re-

lease on Friday.

The Government of B.C. commis-

sioned for the study of the impacts of

industrial developments to the Kitimat

area, but since it � nished the government

had held on to the document claiming it

as Crown privilege.

Speaking to reporters Friday En-

vironment Minister Mary Polak said it

was always meant to eventually be re-

leased publicly.

An overview of the report shows

that “The airshed can accommodate in-

dustrial growth without signi� cantly af-

fecting the health of residents or the en-

vironment,” a government Powerpoint

presentation says.

The study focused primarily on Sul-

phur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrgen Diox-

ide (NO2).

SO2 is the subject of an environ-

mental permit appeal by two Kitimat

residents who feel Rio Tinto Alcan’s

post-modernization SO2 emissions are

too high.

The government study included the

possibility of four lique� ed natural gas

terminals, a proposed oil re� nery, gas-

turbine powered electricity generating

facilities, predicted increased shipping

along the Douglas Channel, and future

expected increases in road and rail traf-

� c.“We want to ensure any potential

impacts from industrial air emissions

are clearly understood before new proj-

ects are approved,” said Polak.

As for RTA’s existing permit, the

government has no plans to revisit it

save for possibilities from the appeal.

“We intend to see RTA operate un-

der its existing permit. The appeal will

be what the appeal will be and of course

we will look to the results of that if there

are any changes that need to be made,”

she said. “Our intent at this stage is for

RTA to operate under their existing per-

mit requirements.”

Lis Stannus, one of two Kitimat

appellants against the RTA permit, is

pleased to see the study � nally released,

but at over 300 pages she said she’d

need time to go over the details.

Graphs from the government do

show the potential for signi� cant SO2

reductions in the event SO2 scrubbers

are used by the smelter.

SO2 health risks showed minor (pos-

sibly) increases in respiratory incidents

of between .5 and two per cent, and risk

directly related to proximity to indus-

trial area. Continued on page 12

Campfire culprit

in Kitimat wildfire

The Kitimat Fire Department says an unat-

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

are wild� re which put at risk the developments

at Strawberry Meadows and left downtown blan-

keted in smoke July 17.

The blaze was in challenging geography for

the local � re depart-

ment to reach and after

an intial assessment

they called the North-

west Fire Centre, based

in Smithers, for aerial

support.

Water tankers and

helicopters were im-

mediately dispatched

to get the � re under

control.Meanwhile heavy

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

contain the � re if it managed to spread.

A � re break is essentially knocking down

trees and leaving a � re-fuel free buffer.

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

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

go in, just due to certain hazards. The condition

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

Deputy Fire Chief Pete Bizarro.

In all there were about seven air drops with

water tankers, while helicopters continued to drop

water throughout the evening.

Once air support � nished ground forest � re

� ghters went in and took care of hot spots.

“Jack [Oviatt] was on site, obviously had

lots of equipment. We had a number of excava-

tors working to make these � re guards,” added

Bizarro.

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

mat’s new Emergency Operations Centre (EOC)

since they set up in the Public Safety Building in

the former council chambers.

“Equipment and personnel all gelled really

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

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

proved very useful.

As for evacuations, the Lower Dyke area was

evacuated but he said there was no imminent dan-

ger to campers in the area.

“The only reason I initiated that is because of

the direction of the wind and the fact it would take

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

If an evacuation was needed emergency

services, including the � re department and the

RCMP, would do a combination door-to-door

knocking, loudspeaker service and using local

media to alert people of the need to leave, and

would establish a place for evacuees to gather.

One Kitimat Fire� ghter did injure his ankle

during the event and was treated at hospital and

released.

Award nods keep rolling in for Kitimat-born directorCameron Orr

He’s from Kitimat and this music video director continues to make a name for him-self on the national and international stage.

Stephano Barberis has been nominated as director of the year for the Canadian Coun-try Music Association (CCMA) awards.

The award ceremony is broadcast on September 13.

Barberis is already a multi-ple-award winning director for music videos, reaching to the 60s for number of nominations he’s had through CCMAs in the past.

He assures every-one though that it’s a surprise every time.

“I sweat blood in to every project,” he said. “It’s just me stressing out over the project and trying to make it look really great and when it does get a nomination I’m always shocked.

“I look at it in terms of art and I just do my best.”

The videos that earned him the nomi-nation for director of the year includes songs by artists Small Town Pistols, Bobby Wills, and, naturally, Kitimat-raised country singer Aaron Pritchett.

The Pritchett song Boat on the Water is the pair’s 10th video collab-oration, and Bar-beris says it was their first two mu-sic videos which actually launched both of their ca-reers. Their friend-ship is rooted in

their time in Kitimat.“We went to Kil-

dala Elementary together and we used to walk home from school together,” Barberis remembers.

Kitimat isn’t at all forgotten by the director.

Barberis isn’t shy to say

that he frequently reads up on local news and even dedicates time to town ‘planning’, creat-ing plans for future townexpansion.

If you ever see him ask him what he thinks the District should do with the 150 acres of Minette Bay land donated from RTA. He has ideas. An abundance of them.

A second career in local economic development will have to wait though.

Barberis continues to be busy directing music videos and he has some coals in the fire to develop feature-length motion pictures.

In 2013 he also produced a set of electronic-genre music videos which were designed in response

and opposition to the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines pro-posal.

First Nations leaders across British Columbia reacted with anger upon learning that Enbridge has, in documents recently filed with the Federal Court of Appeal, claimed that “most im-pacted Aboriginal groups” support its Northern Gateway pipe-line proposal.

First Nations leaders say Northern Gateway’s attempt to speak on behalf of First Nations is disrespectful, and that the company’s claim is out of touch with reality.

“It is completely inappropriate for Northern Gateway to purport to speak to a court on behalf of First Nations in such a self-serving manner,” said Grand Chief Ed John of the First Na-tions Summit. “This is another unfortunate example of North-ern Gateway trying to charge ahead without regard for the clear rejection of the project by First Nations.”

In 2010, Enbridge Inc. proposed the construction of a 1,200km pipeline from Bruderheim, A.B., to Kitimat, B.C.

In June, 2014, the Canadian government accepted the proj-ect's proposal, but imposed 209 conditions recommended by the National Energy Board.

The proposed project has received opposition from several First Nations groups from across the province.

The members of both the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs and the First Nations Summit have passed resolutions in opposition to the project. The Yinka Dene Alliance, includes several First Nations in Northern B.C. - Nadleh Whut'en, Nak'azdli, Takla Lake, Saik'uz, Wet'suwet'en, and Tl’azt’en - has joined forces to ban Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipelines from their ter-ritories.

Wet’suwet’en Chief Karen Ogen spoke on behalf of the Yinka Dene Alliance, saying that all First Nations currently in court against Northern Gateway have broad support.

“We stand with the representatives of more than 100 First Nations that fully support the members of the Yinka Dene Alli-ance and other First Nations in court challenging the project,” she said.

There are currently 18 consolidated legal challenges to the federal approval of Northern Gateway. They are scheduled to

be heard at the Federal Court of Appeal in Vancouver on Octo-ber 1-2 and 5-8, 2015.

“Let’s be clear, First Nations have overwhelmingly reject-ed the Northern Gateway project,” stated Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs. “When Enbridge chooses to join us in the real world it will see there’s a wall of deeply committed First Nations that have said Northern Gateway is never going to happen.”

Black Press asked Enbridge to confirm if the company had in fact said they have the support of the majority of First Na-tions along the proposed route, and which First Nations they were referring to.

Enbridge did not answer the questions directly; instead the company sent a statement.

“Northern Gateway is focused on our priority of building trust, engag-ing in respectful dialogue and build-ing meaningful partnerships with First Nations and Metis communi-ties,” said Ivan Giesbrecht, Commu-nications Manager for Enbridge.

“We believe First Nations and Metis communities should share in the ownership and benefits of Northern Gateway. As custodi-ans of the land, First Nations and Metis communities have a direct role in the environmental protec-tion of lands and waters along theNorthern Gateway pipeline corridor and in marine operations. We are committed to hearing directly from them to listen and work together to address their concerns and to incor-porate Aboriginal traditional knowl-edge.”

Enbridge, First Nations clash on claims

Alexander townhousesThe run-down row of townhouses known as Alexander Townhouses are now being put down permanently. The property is now owned by Coast to Coast Holdings, and they are seeking to redevelop the land into much more modern townhouse-style homes. The most recent residents of the property were given extra assistance from the company to relocate to new homes, which the tenants had said publicly were fair offers. The company was not immediately available to discuss the next stage of development.

Jeff NagelBC Liberal backbencher Mike Bernier is

B.C.’s new Education Minister, while predecessor Peter Fassbender takes over as Community, Sport, and Cultural Development Minister, with respon-sibility for TransLink as well.

The mini cabinet shuffle announced Thurs-day by Premier Christy Clark also shifts Coralee Oakes, who previously headed the ministry that deals with municipalities, to Minister of Small Business and Red-Tape Reduction, with responsi-bility for the Liquor Distribution Branch.

Fassbender headed the province’s negotia-tions with B.C. teachers during last year’s strike. He held out for a negotiated settlement the prov-ince achieved rather than legislating teachers back to work, as had been the pattern in several previ-ous teacher strikes.

The removal of TransLink from Transporta-tion Minister Todd Stone’s portfolio comes in the wake of the defeat by Metro Vancouver voters of a plebiscite on the creation of a 0.5 per cent re-gional sales tax to fund transit expansion.

Fassbender, a Surrey MLA, has extensive history on the TransLink file as a former Lang-ley City Mayor who once chaired the Metro may-ors’ council as it tried to persuade the province to grant a new revenue source.

Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore welcomed Fassbender’s new role.

“I think it’s a good move,” the Port Coquitlam mayor said. “He has a deep understanding of the legislation and not only the challenges but also the opportunities of being able to work together to find solutions for TransLink.”

NDP transportation critic Claire Trevena called the shift in TransLink responsibility a “slapdown” for Stone “because he hasn’t deliv-ered.”

Bernier, a former Dawson Creek mayor with 20 years experience in the natural gas industry, is a first-term MLA for Peace River South.

Clark also shifted Naomi Yamamoto out of the small business ministry, making her Minister of State for Emergency Preparedness, underneath the transportation ministry.

Jordan Sturdy is now parliamentary secretary for energy literacy and the environment under En-vironment Minister Mary Polak – Bernier’s previ-ous post. He’ll also chair the province’s Climate Leadership Panel.

“We have the opportunity now to build on a record of student achievement with long-term la-bour peace in place, to strengthen our support for small business.”

Everyone gathers for a team photo on the final day of Donald Pacheco’s annual soccer summer camp.Cameron Orr

Soccer continues popularity surge

Results from the Kitimat Ladies Open

Ladies golf, July 28

The popularity of youth soccer in Kitimat continues to rise, says soccer coach Donald Pacheco.

Pacheco recently finished his annual Coach P’s Soccer Camp program which runs for a week in July.

He said for this fourth year he continues to see a rise in participants. It edged up even further this year from 47 to 50.

Overall Kitimat Youth Soccer is up 35 new players as well.“Soccer’s starting to get big in this town again,” said Pa-

checo, who knows the sport, in decades past, has been im-mensely popular in the community.

His week-long soccer camp uses four instructors, and he said this year’s participants were actually the best group he’s had. He introduced a video session to the camp which he said proved very useful to the players.

Building up the sport with the younger players, he says, will go a long ways in making it a staple activity for Kitimat.

The camp serves kids between five and 14 years old.His work with the summer camp has been successful

enough that he says he’ll be hosting similar camps in other communities next year.

Seventy-six la-dies from Burns Lake, Smithers, Terrace, Prince Rupert, Victoria and North Battleford, Saskatchewan played in this four player team scramble.

Overall low gross winners from Smith-ers and Burns Lake were; Bonnie Heagy, Fran Fraser, Corranne Dahler and Viv Brooks with a score of 152.

Overall low net winners from Terrace were; Miranda Smith, Kim McDougall, Jo-cylyn Galloway and Elizabeth Swan with a score of 87.
