Cullen wags finger at the ConservativesShaun Thomas
As of our press deadline there was still no decision on the Northern Gateway project from the government.
Meanwhile though Skeena — Bulkley Val-ley MP Nathan Cullen accused the Conservative government of using B.C. as a pawn in an inter-national game of chess when it comes to � nally rendering a decision on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline.
“They sent the Natural Resource Minister to New York where he suggested delaying the de-cision and right away the Prime Minister stood in the House of Commons to say a decision was imminent. They’re using British Columbia as some chess piece in a game with the U.S., say-ing if they don’t approve the Keystone pipeline they will just run the Enbridge pipeline through. As though a pipeline through B.C. is a foregone conclusion,” said Cullen, noting any delay would leave Stephen Harper with egg on his face.
“A delay doesn’t make a bad decision a good one and it opens up the Prime Minister to the same criticism he has lobbed at President Obama in delaying a decision on Keystone.”
Noting that he feels the government may try to end the Parliamentary session before handing down a decision in order to minimize press and MP attention, Cullen left no doubt the decision has signi� cant impacts both for the people of the Northwest and those in Ottawa.
“My concern is this will impact other indus-trial development people may want to see be-cause it will have completely soured the relation-ship with First Nations,” said Cullen.
“The Conservatives are in real trouble in British Columbia with some Conservative mem-bers discussing changing their votes based on this one issue because they also � sh and hunt ... they’ve painted themselves into a corner by be-ing such strong backers of such a controversial project.”
And while there are now three oil re� nery projects proposed between Kitimat and Prince Rupert, Cullen said any alternative to diluted bi-tumen shipments is still a long ways away.
“In talking with the different proponents, they are just starting the conversation. I think the conversation of value added re� ning ... is a good one, but there is a long way to go and the compa-nies acknowledge that. They don’t have any buy-ers for the product yet,” he said, noting most face opposition from the oil industry itself.
“A lot of the industry, which is multinational companies, seem to oppose the idea of re� ning oil in Canada, which is shameful because they are only marginally based in the country.”
Council presses hard against MaPP repsCameron Orr
Councillors invited representatives of the Marine Planning Partnership (MaPP) to speak to their document and process, but were not-too-subtly chal-lenged by councillors upset over the plan’s short time frame for comment and their seeming reluctance to offer an ex-tension.
“Some type of extension I believe is warranted because for whatever reason a signi� cant amount of people felt rushed,” said Mario Feldhoff following a presen-tation on the plan.
Speaking to the plan was Steve Kachanoski from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Craig Outhet for the North Coast Skeena First Nations Stewardship Society, and Andrew Webber with the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District.
The plan is a joint First Nations and provincial government initiative to craft a use plan for B.C. coasts and marine ar-eas.
The plan won’t cover issues such as marine transport — that falls under Transport Canada, a federal jurisdiction
— but the plan will point to areas of in-terest for things such as � sh harvesting and renewable energy.
“It’s a partnership between 18 differ-ent First Nations including members of North Coast Skeena First Nation Stew-ardship Society [NCSFNSS],” said Craig Outhet, a marine planning coordinator for the NCSFNSS, in the May 21 North-ern Sentinel.
An open house on the project to show the public the draft plan ahead of the conclusion of public comments on June 3 was held but it sparked a response from many, including council, who felt there was not a lot of local input.
“It seems locally, I know people who are part of every one of those groups and they had no idea this was going on,” said Phil Germuth.
He also questioned how the drafters of the plan assembled the advisory com-mittee given a number of local groups were unaware of the process.
Kachanoski said they send commu-nications out to known active recreation, commercial and tourism groups. For example the local Sport Fish Advisory
Board was contacted to participate. “We fanned out to known associa-
tions and users within the communities and just calling for representation,” he said.
But it’s not too late for Kitimat coun-cil to comment.
“If there’s information that comes speci� cally as a result of this meeting...we will do our best to incorporate those comments for our plan.”
Mayor Joanne Monaghan said she wanted Kitimat Council included in re-viewing the � nal draft of the plan as well, pointing to feelings of exclusion given First Nations groups’ involvement in the process.
“Do we ever get to see it? Are you going to present it to us, the � nal en-dorsement?” she asked. “You’re saying the Aboriginal people are getting to see it, I wonder if we do too.”
Kachanoski said they’d take requests for extensions to the public comment to the advisory board.
The board for the Haida Gwaii plan did receive a two week extension under different circumstances, he added.
Students at St. Anthony’s demonstrate their tendon-cy to learn while attending the Healthcare Traveling Road Show at the school gym. Medical and health professional students from UNBC, UBC, and the College of New Caledonia shared their stories of why they chose health care for their careers. It was also a chance for the students themselves to learn about what it might be like to work in the Northwest.

Kitimat RCMP seek ATM robberAt around 9 p.m. on June 8 a wom-
an using the ATM machine at the Royal Bank of Canada was robbed of $500.
Police say the unknown male pushed in to the back of the woman and pressed an unknown object in to the middle of her left shoulder and demanded she with-draw $500.
The suspect is described as over
six feet tall, slender build, dressed in all black with a ski mask covering his face, and a hoodie over his head.
The woman was not injured, and the male made off with the cash but police could not track the person down follow-ing the robbery.
Police are encouraging the public to be aware of their surroundings and report
any suspicious activity when using an ATM after hours.
Anyone who may have informa-tion about this crime can call the local detachment at 250-632-7111, or call Crimestoppers to remain anonymous at 1-800-222-8477. A cash reward of up to $2,000 will be paid for any information which leads to an arrest and charges.
Dog near Roy Wilcox reportedly bit personJune 3A two-vehicle
collision on Lahakas Boulevard occured when an eastbound vehicle didn’t yield to oncoming traffic while turning in to a gas sta-tion. Both vehicles suffered major dam-age but injuries to the drivers in each vehicle were minor.
June 5Police are inves-
tigating vandalism to a parked vehicle on Albatross Avenue over night. The windshield and driver’s side win-dows were smashed.
Police sought Prince George RCMP assistance in tracking a missing 16-year-old who may have got-ten on a bus bound for B.C.’s northern capital. Prince George RCMP did locate the youth and arrange-ments were made for her to be returned home.
June 6A woman reported
being bitten by a dog near the Roy Wilcox Elementary School building. The person received medical at-tention at the Kitimat General Hospital. Po-lice were unable to locate the dog, which is described as a black mixed-breed with
pointy ears, approxi-mately the size of a German shepherd.
June 7An apparently im-
paired driver crashed into a light standard at the City Centre Mall parking lot, police say. The 36-year-old driver failed a road-side screening test and received a 90 day dri-
ivng prohibition and the vehicle was im-pounded for 30 days.
June 8A driver from
Victoria also received a 90 day driving pro-
hibition after being spotted wandering in his lane and driving on the centre lane. The 55-year-old driver failed two roadside screening tests.

A company which tried but failed to establish a pellet-producing plant using fibre in the Terrace area now has its sights set on a location in the Ha-zeltons.
This time Glob-al Bio Coal Energy of Vancouver will supply the technolo-gy and expertise for a plant to be owned by a combination of Hazelton-area First Nations and Korean interests.
The intent is to build a $26 million facility at the old Carnaby mill site to turn fibre from the area into pellets for export to Korea, a press release from Global indicated this morning.
“Sufficient fi-bre has been com-mitted to allow the company to produce the 200,000 tonnes of pellets annually with signed offtake agreements in place with large Korean customers in excess of expected produc-tions rates for this initial project,” stat-ed the release.
Pellets are pro-duced under ex-treme heat and pres-sure and in large commercial appli-cations are used in power plants.
The company established to con-struct the plant is called Gitxsan Bio-Energy Ltd. and the expectation is to cre-ate 40 full-time jobs.
“Engineer ing and related tasks are currently underway with business details being finalized,” stated the release.
The area First Nations involved are the Suskwa and Git-segukla, the release added.
In 2010 Global Bio Coal Energy and Coast Tsim-shian Resources an-nounced their inten-tion to build a pellet plant on a section of the latter’s Poirier log yard at the far western end of Keith Ave. in Terrace.

Grant policy might need polishingCameron Orr
At their June 2 meeting, councillors opted to provide some money to a number of community groups, despite official coun-cil policy that they wouldn’t be eligible for the funds.
The grants ap-proved are not to any-thing that would be deemed controversial — the Parent Gradu-ation Committee and Kitimat seniors plan-ning to attend the BC Seniors Games.
Councillors went against policy in the case of the seniors, where staff, following council policy, recom-mended that council not support the grant request. That’s because the policy specifies its focus on easing travel burdens for youths.
Later, council upped a grant from $750 to $2,003 for the graduation committee to use Riverlodge for the graduation dinner
in the event job ac-tion prevents a school-based celebration.
The $750 was the maximum grant limit as set by policy.
“We should be re-viewing that policy and asking ourselves if it continues to meet com-munity interests,” said Mario Feldhoff.
Townhouses denied extra 14 unitsThe proponent who
wants to build a 54-unit townhouse complex at the end of Kingfisher Avenue near the golf course received a set-back when councillors voted against allow-ing the zoning amend-ment that would have allowed 14 units more than the 40 currently allowed.
The setback still gives the proponent the opportunity to construct townhouses, only at a lower number than they initially had hoped.
Councillors Rob Goffinet, Mary Mur-phy and Mayor Joanne Monaghan voted in
favour of the motion, while Edwin Empina-do, Phil Germuth and Mario Feldhoff brought the vote to a tie, which under council rules means it’s defeated.
Before any con-struction would take place the developer would still have to ap-ply for a development permit from the Dis-trict.
C o u n c i l l o r s seemed to be on two different perspectives, with Feldhoff and Ger-muth noting that there hasn’t been enough time. Germuth specifi-cally said the nine days nearby residents had to comment on the zoning
amendment was not ad-equate and the process may have been confus-ing for some as to when they could provide comments.
Monaghan how-ever remarked at the
sluggishness of District processes — allowanc-es for public notice and referrals to other com-mittees.
“We don’t like things to happen in Kit-imat very fast, do we?”
Refinery proposed for RupertCameron Orr
Pacific Future Energy has announced a proposed $10 bil-lion oil refinery which they promise to be the world’s greenest.
The “near zero net carbon” emission refinery will be devel-oped in partnership with First Nations groups, the company said in a news release last week.
The company has three possible locations scouted in the Prince Rupert area.
“We believe this is an in-credibly unique opportunity to build the greenest refinery in the world and there’s no better place than B.C.,” said Samer
Salameh, Executive Chairman of Pacific Future Energy in a news release. “Our pre-feasi-bility study has begun, which will analyze the economic, so-cial and environmental aspects of the refinery and help to de-termine the prospective site and expect to launch our feasibility and regulatory process in the next nine to 12 months.”
The refinery is being de-signed to be built in modules, each processing 200,000 bar-rels of bitumen per day. The bitumen would be converted into gasoline, diesel, kerosene and other poducts. When all of the project modules are com-
plete, the facility will process up to 1,000,000 barrels per day, starting with the first phase of 200,000 barrels per day.
Pacific Future Energy joins the race to build a refinery with David Black’s Kitimat Clean proposal, which would process 550,000 barrels of diluted bitu-men a day.
Black’s refinery is antici-pated to cost $21 billion, with an additional $11 billion to construct a pipeline and tanker fleet.
Both refinery proposals an-ticipate a direct work force of 3,000.
What’s next?The knower of all things procedural, the
District of Kitimat Deputy Chief Administra-tive Officer Warren Waycheshen, tells the Sen-tinel that by defeating third reading, council has triggered a six month black-out for the de-veloper to apply for the same zoning amend-ment.
That being the case, there are some things that could happen. If two-thirds of Council agree they can waive that time frame.
The mayor, he said, also has the right to recall the vote within 30 days on an item. That ability is included in the Community Charter.

I seem to be reading a lot of fore-casts that watching television – as we know it – is about to come to an end. Just exactly when TV, as we currently know it, is about to disappear under the horizon remains a moot point.
Just to assure you that TV as we know it is about to vanish, I Googled that headline and amazingly found that it brought up an astounding number of internet responses – roughly a billion of them, in about 39 seconds.
Based on that, I certainly believe it, but I still can’t put my � nger on the exact date or time.
What does seem clear, however, that despite the many changes we’ve already seen in cable, satellite and other suppliers of television program-ming, we can be sure that’s about to be “all over” soon. And that we “ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”
I would guess we all know some-one who has “unplugged” their TV – not literally, but � guratively – as they watch whatever entertainment they have selected over traditional televi-sion – over the internet.
In August last year, Time Maga-zine guesstimated that about a million Americans had “pulled the plug” in the previous 12 months.
Where that number stands today is unknown but literally millions more North American households are be-
lieved to have weaned themselves off “the tube” in one way or another.
I haven’t done it yet, but more and more people tell me they rarely watch their 46 inch TVs any more. For most of them, it was the next logical step af-ter stopping buying local and national newspapers, cutting off your land line telephones and giving up on watching movies in a movie theatre.
We all know how the Internet blitzed the newspaper business over the past few years. Newspapers still publish daily, but they are struggling to make the kind of money they were used to.
Most of them are read on the In-ternet and are trying hard to get sub-scribers to pay a monthly fee to read the publication, which of course is now seen on a website.
TV networks to my mind have been � irting with this for years, as any-one who has decried the drivel we’ve been offered by sitcoms, silly game
shows, the new “reality” TV shows, DIY and real-estate � ip shows, as well as endless re-runs of old sit-com suc-cesses, ever changing hosts on network talk shows and so on.
So, really, unless your TV con-nects to the Internet in one way or an-other, like your smart phone, or your 2014 gadget-laden car, it’s not a very adaptable tool and you likely have to negotiate a connection with your lap-top, through a wireless gadget like an Internet-enabled Blu-Ray player, one of several video game players, a stand-alone video streaming device or just your laptop or PC physically linked to your TV to play anything on the big screen, you’re (like most people) not quite ready for the TV revolution that is forecast.
Smart TVs are Internet ready and open up new entertainment, educa-tional and sports viewing vistas hith-erto unavailable in a day-to-day cable delivery set up.
We can expect the quicker simplic-ity of these new seemingly complex new devices to rapidly change our op-tions. Net� ix is probably the fastest growing and still lowest-cost entertain-ment addition to TV and its turning thousands of customers to opt for that and the cheapest cable-satellite bundle available – and that’s about it.

Internet invades living room entertainment
Not quite the endIt’s a funky time for this weekly paper when it
comes to preparing for a decision on the Northern Gateway proposal.
The federal government of� cially had until yes-terday to decide what to do with the project, whether to approve the environmental permits or not that will eventually pave the way to construction. (That’s ig-noring the likely numerous challenges to the project there’ll be.)
Yet the decision, which I had hoped for last Fri-day, may be delayed. Greg Rickford, the Natural Re-sources Minister, told a conference recently that they may postpone a decision.
Perhaps the whole thing is just politicking though. As our MP noted in the story on the front page, he thinks it’s just a game as the government tells the region a decision is “imminent.”
Cullen is right, though, that a delay just won’t do any favours for the Conservative party.
It’s no secret the Conservatives favour pipeline development so my hunch would be the government is just waiting for the right time to say yes, like a Downton Abbey character mulling a marriage pro-posal.
However the Conservatives are already in for an uphill battle if they say yes to the project, many contemplating a tough time for the party in the next election. Conservative MPs are already targeted at a website called the Enbridge 21 which gives visitors an easy way to send messages to them.
A CBC report quotes a number of them that they have been getting messages from people through the site.
Perhaps even more dramatic than the Conserva-tives’ own reputations though is a late release from the Haisla last Friday which spelled out the dangers of saying yes to this project.
The Haisla, in an un-signed news release, said that saying yes to Northern Gateway will be seen as “illegitimate” and an “attack” on their First Nations.
However, the government putting the brakes to the project will essentially be a turning point for First Nations and federal government relations.
Such a release merely highlights what we’ve long known: the decision made this week doesn’t end anything.
It’s not quite the end, but a beginning.Whether that beginning is of a renewed relation-
ship of nations within Canada or of a new, long, bit-ter � ght, we’ll have to wait and see.
But it’s interesting that it’s so clearly a turning point of the country.
Kitimat is on the map for a lot of things right now, but I’d almost be honestly surprised if the Northern Gateway debate, and eventual decision, doesn’t make it into some textbook some day.

On June 8 the Portuguese � ag rose at the Pub-lic Safety Building, kicking off Portuguese Week in Kitimat.
The annual celebration draws attention to Portuguese culture, including Kitimat’s Luso Club which has been the traditional cultural cen-tre for the community in town.
Today the club has around 220 members, says Anna Cabral.
But the club itself can’t just be pigeon-holed as a Portuguese club, as it has fanned out over the years to include all nationalities.
“We’ve gotten a lot of other members from other nationalities whereas in the past it used to be just mostly a Portugueses club,” she said. “Not that we didn’t allow anybody else in but it was just very few people wanted to be a part of it because there was so many other nationalities and other clubs they belonged to.”
There are some theories as to how the trans-formation happened. For one, the Luso hosts a number of activities that Cabral thinks gives a reason to many to join the club.
“It does give you some advantages in being a member.”
But beyond that is the cultural shift where marriages are no longer primarily between two people of the same cultural heritage.
“Typically in the past it used to be that Por-tuguese typically married Portuguese,” she said. “There’s so many mixtures now that it brings in more people when someone has a mixed marriage then their family members also want to become part of the association.”
Portuguese Week itself is set to honour Luís Vaz de Camões, perhaps Portugal’s most famous person, a poet whose day of death, June 10, is now Portugal’s national day.
“It’s just a way of us celebrating the most fa-mous person that we’ve ever had as a Portuguese,” said Cabral.
The club has toned down their usual array of events, partly because the executive of the club is shrinking and people in the club are aging.
“We’re a smaller group, people are getting older so we don’t have the ability to have a lot of different things carried on during the week.”
But that’s merely an opportunity for new peo-ple to get involved and Cabral said they’re always welcoming to people who feel they have time to give to the club to keep everything working.
The club is entirely run by volunteers, except for the bartenders at the Luso.

Kitimat man airlifted to Vancouver after crashCameron Orr
A 48-year-old Kit-imat man was � own to Vancouver after being injured in a car acci-dent on Highway 37.
On June 6 at ap-proximately 2:40 p.m. the Kitimat RCMP were called to a two vehicle collision.
Police say two vehicles, a four door sedan and a pick-up truck, were following a motorcycle which was going just under the speed limit. The motorcycle’s speed
prompted the driver of the sedan to attempt to overtake the two vehi-cles. The driver of the pick-up truck turned in to the oncoming lane to overtake the motor-
cycle as well and col-lided with the sedan. While the sedan driver managed to keep con-trol of the vehicle, the pick-up went off the road down an em-
bankment and into a swamp.
The male passen-ger of the truck was se-riously injured and had to be removed from the vehicle by the jaws
of life.Authorities kept
the highway closed un-til 5:05 p.m. then it was alternating traf� c until shortly after 8 p.m.
The Kitimat
RCMP is thankful for the assistance of those who stopped to help and for the patience of others on the road.
The RCMP are still investigating the inci-
dent and anyone who may have witnessed the collision and has not spoken with the police are asked to call the Kitimat detach-ment at 250-632-7111.
