Concern at Jed StumpsCameron Orr

Even with no of� cial indication their living arrangement might change, residents of the Jed Stumps trailer court have taken their concern to town councillors in anticipation of a rezoning ap-plication.

Vivian Douglas spoke on behalf of the 68 residents of the trail-er court, who are wor-ried that new owners of the property will seek a rezoning application which would effective-ly remove residents in favour of new develop-ments.

“I know in a year and a half there will be [a zoning application]. I am just one of 68 peo-ple who live and have our families in the trailer court,” she said.

The uncertainty has already impacted lives in the sense that it’s challenging to sell trailer units right now.

Douglas said she had wanted to sell her unit but buyers aren’t there if they don’t know if they’ll be able to stay a year from now.

“The other thing is if we wanted to sell right now there is no buyers and we can’t blame them because everything is up in the air,” she said.

She added, “I bring these points to you be-cause I think that while you’re sleeping in your bed, we are worried whether we will have a roof over our head.”

Residents in the trailer court had been con-cerned last year as well. (Sentinel, October 13, 2013.) A special meeting of residents was held with the Kitimat Housing Resource Worker at the Northwest Community College campus to work out what was happening and what wasn’t.

Residents were relieved to know there would be no immediate changes to the property but clearly the overall worry remains.

At the April 28 committee of the whole meet-ing, Mayor Joanne Monaghan relayed that she had spoken with the current owner of the trailer court and asked about any imminent plans to do with the property and she had been assured there was none at this time.

Douglas said that through her role of collect-ing rents at the property she had heard progress towards change may have been going faster than what may be realized.

“It won’t be very much time until progress kicks us in the butt. And I’m only hoping you’re on our side.”

Shell increases stake in LNG CanadaCameron Orr

While there is still a good deal of time between now and a po-tential � nal investment decision, the LNG Canada project propos-al did reach a notable milestone with the for-malized agreement of the project as its own company.

The new entity, LNG Canada Develop-ment Inc., is headed by CEO Andy Calitz, and includes a new owner-ship arrangement.

The same four partners are involved in the project but Shell Canada now controls 50 per cent of the proj-ect, PetroChina now holds 20 per cent own-ership, and KOGAS and Mitsubishi each hold 15 per cent.

Calitz was joined by representatives of those partners and with Premier Christy Clark and Deputy Premier Rich Coleman during the announcement for this on April 30 in Van-couver.

The “uncertain-ties” the company still has to deal with be-fore there would be any construction at LNG Canada’s site at the former Methanex facility includes the environmental reviews through the Environ-mental Assessment Of� ce and the Oil and Gas Commission, fur-ther consultation with First Nations, a front end engineering and design study (FEED), gas development strat-egies and labour ar-

rangements, as well as a � nal cost estimate.

“That work will take 18 to 24 months,” said Calitz.

Ensuring labour requirements and phys-ically building a pipe-line through the moun-tains are among the other issues Calitz is looking ahead to. LNG Canada has contracted TransCanada to build a proposed natural gas

pipeline called Coastal GasLink to deliver the gas to the Kitimat liq-uefaction facility.

Premier Clark said that the announcement on April 30 is a “vote of con� dence” that the province is prepared to work with investors and that its a signal of progress for “all LNG projects and for inves-tors around the world.”

“We cannot get to

that � nal investment decision eventually if we don’t take this im-portant step that we’re taking today,” she said.

She suggested there may be � nal in-vestment decisions from some LNG com-panies by the end of this year but added she doesn’t expect to see an LNG Canada � nal in-vestment decision until at least next year.

“It won’t be very much time until progress kicks us in the butt. And I’m only hoping you’re on our side.”

Members of Unifor 2301, along with representatives of the District of Kitimat and its council, stand by the workers memorial plaque at Coghlin Park on April 28. April 28 is the National Day of Mourning to remember people injured or killed at work.

Day of MourningCameron Orr

Unifor 2301 mem-bers, along with the District of Kitimat, paid respect to injured and killed workers on April 28, the National Day of Mourning.

Speaking to those gathered, Unifor 2301 President Rick Bel-mont shared statistics that in 2012, according to the Workers Com-pensation Board, 181 workers died, and more than 100 of those were due to occupational ill-nesses.

In Canada, he said, 1,000 workers die ev-ery year, nearly three dying each day.

Susan Dobbin’s mixed grade 11/12 PE class with just 10 students allowed the girls to go to Vancouver to participate in the recent Vancouver Sun Fun Run. At right is them at the event itself.

Having fun in the Sun RunCameron Orr

Some were nurs-ing an injured foot. Some just didn’t like running. But whatever their state was at the start, this girls physi-cal education class of 10 students have found strength in each other to master the Vancou-ver Sun Run.

The annual mara-thon took place on April 27.

Their teacher Su-san Dobbin had been looking for a new way to present physical ed-ucation to such a small group of students and decided early on that the Sun Run was the way to go.

She since found that training for the Sun Run has impacted the students beyond the class room.

Erin Landry, for instance, had taken a strong lead role in

forming ideas for fun-draising for the class trip to Vancouver and has taken up running as a personal hobby as well.

“In the beginning it was painfully easy,” she said of the training. “Then it got hard.”

The struggle of motivating herself to run has given way to her new favourite ex-ercise.

“That was ulti-mately my goal, that some of them would � nd this a form of � t-ness that they can use for the rest of their lives. She’s a prime example of that,” said Dobbin.

Landry is not the only one who was an example to look up to in the class. Janay Hansen set an example by training for the run, even as she dealt with an injured foot.

As much as she re-sisted being forced to ‘sit out’ while she re-covered, it didn’t take long for her to be back in running shape. She soon proved that an in-jury couldn’t hold her back from her goals as she said she had to work extra hard to get back to her classmates’ level of training.

Dobbin adds that the whole class has been great at motivat-ing each other leading up to the run.

As for the run it-self, the top runner for the class was Maddy Amado with a time of 54:53 placing 82nd out of 1,248 runners in her age category. She was closely followed by German exchange student Nathalie Langewith a time 56:57 placing 111th in the same age category as Amado.

SAR rescue boatersCameron Orr

Kitimat’s Search and Rescue (KSAR) came to the aid of a pair of � shermen who had become stranded up the Gilttoyees River on April 29.

That river is about 55 kilometres down the Douglas Channel.

The � shermen’s boat had bro-ken down and they initiated a Spot Receiver which emits a distress call. With poor weather and limited de-tails on the boaters’ condition two

members of KSAR together with White River Helicopters � ew to the river and found the boaters at around 7:45 p.m. Both were in good con-dition, but wet and cold, and were brought back to Kitimat.

KSAR was also assisted by the Kitimat RCMP in their marine ves-sel, and the Kitimat Marine Rescue Society also responded with � ve members in their Snow� ake Re-sponder.

Have you got one of the new B.C. driver’s licences yet?

By now most drivers have the one with the unsmiling black and white mug shot, to conform to passport stan-dards so it could be used for border identi� cation with the magnetic swipe strip on the back.

About one million of us now have the newest version, with a credit-card style digital chip that proves your resi-dence and eligibility for our famously “free” medical care.

The motor vehicle of� ce started is-suing them about a year ago, as � ve-year licences expire. They replace the old “CareCard” that has no expiry date. Over the years there were more than nine million CareCards issued, twice the population of B.C., as people held onto their access to our defense-less, overworked medical system from wherever they moved to.

Positive identi� cation is only the start for this card.

Each will be assigned a password that gives access to online medical re-cords, so when patients show up at an ER, their eligibility is con� rmed and any previous conditions or medications are accurately matched. (Note that medical information is not stored on the card, just an access code that goes with the password.)

Patients will be able to call up their

own � les at home, book medical ap-pointments and even renew prescrip-tions, which is where the ef� ciency comes in.

In-person visits for routine pre-scription renewals are a cash cow for today’s doctors, generating guaranteed billings but often little or no health ben-e� t.

Most people will still think of it as a driver’s licence, but it’s intended as an all-purpose government ID. If you don’t drive, you are spared the $75 li-cence renewal fee, and within a couple of years the cards will start providing online access to a wide range of gov-ernment services.

Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services, says a public consultation has shown most people are comfortable us-ing a system they already trust for their banking.

By the end of 2015, Wilkinson says about two million people will have the new cards, roughly half of B.C.’s popu-lation. Application forms converted

to online access will include student loans, birth, death and marriage certi� -cates, voter registration and even crimi-nal record checks.

All this will be costly to set up, but the savings from having customers do their own data entry are well known, as any banker or supermarket owner can tell you.

“You can understand that if you’re in the vital statistics of� ce and this can all be done from places like Telegraph Creek and Horse� y remotely, that actu-ally saves them a lot of money,” Wilkin-son said.

“There will be conversion of exist-ing services where you have to go into an of� ce and wait around and � ll out forms. Those will be converted to on-line services.”

It also means a decline in the num-ber of government of� ce jobs, and the potential for further outsourcing of ser-vices, as we have seen with Medical Services Plan administration and the back-of� ce functions of BC Hydro.

Some older readers won’t be thrilled to hear about this. They don’t want a “smart phone,” just a phone. But they will also see their great-grandchil-dren becoming adept with tablet com-puters before they can even speak.

Seniors will get the hang of it pretty quickly, and their lives will become easier.

The digital wave is just beginning

Springtime in KitimatThere are some sure-signs of spring in Kitimat.The sweeper trucks migrate the roadways of Kit-

imat. The snow is all but gone. And the � re hydrants around town are allowed to exhale their pressure of water.

Even so, another sign of spring is the abundance of special occasions in town. Namely in the develop-ment sector.

The trend began with a tour of the Delta Spirit Lodge, the ferry which has been converted into living quarters for Kitimat Modernization Project workers.

From there a soil turning ceremony of� cially put the Baxter townhouses under construction, a de-velopment which will � nally replace the empty lot where an apartment building once stood, before a � re forced its demolition.

Even as the soil ceremonially turned, it seemed that just about every unit was already sold. That was quick.

Soil turning became a theme with PTI Group turning their soil, kicking off the construction of their worker lodge in the Strawberry Meadows.

That project as you remember kicked up some initial controversy, but those executives on hand and members of our council seem con� dent in the proj-ect’s bene� ts at this point. You’ll know I’ve never been a staunch opponent of the project either, so with the construction of� cially on its way we’ll soon see how well it � ts in the community.

But perhaps among the most signi� cant, in a way, signs of spring was LNG Canada’s of� cial birth into incorporation.

All the partners you’ve already known who are proposing the LNG Canada project — that’s the Shell-led project at the former Methanex site — have now signed on of� cially to make LNG Canada its own entity.

From a public standpoint — that is, you and me — such an announcement doesn’t change our lives dramatically.

On the other hand, it does formalize the agree-ments with the partners.

So in a sense LNG Canada shouldn’t evaporate into nothing anymore if things go sour. LNG Canada isn’t only a proposal, it’s also an actual incorporated business.

As you may have � gured out though, it’s not an investment decision. It’s not even the conclusion of those crucial FEED studies, the engineering and de-sign documents that tell the company how the project will be built and for what costs.

So in short don’t expect this announcement to bounce house prices up even further.

But the bloom of corporate agreements, with the soft soils of new construction, really makes the air smell like spring.

Some more things to think about on pipelinesDear Sir,

Kitimat Mayor and Council have finally broken their silence concerning the prickly Enbridge file. While other concerned com-munities have declared their position-Terrace, Smithers, Prince Ru-pert and Haida Gwaii all saying thanks but no thanks- the majority of Kitimat’s elected offi-cials followed the will of the majority who voted no to Enbridge in the recently held plebi-scite.

As Canadians now await the fateful deci-sion from the Prime Minister’s office on the Enbridge North-ern Gateway Pipelines project I would like to take this opportunity to shed a little light on some of the concerns British Columbians might want to consider along with Prime Min-ister Harper. It would appear few give much thought as to how and where all this wonder-ful oil would come

from and what are the procedures needed to extract this life enhanc-ing commodity.

What exactly are Albertans doing to a rather large area of northern Alberta? All we hear in beautiful B.C. is they either suck it out of the ground af-ter loosening the gunk oil from the buried sand deposits with heaping amounts of injected steam or by mining the sandy oil and then separating the two with large quantities of fresh water. Finally, the best part, everybody makes huge pots of money.

Environmentally, what all this activity is doing to the Province of Alberta and some say on the rest of the globe, well that’s not really talked about. It’s not important, appar-ently. What is impor-tant and exciting is the potential of increas-

ing production two to three times present production. Imagine the size of the money pots, then. The oil companies would get the lion’s share, deserv-ingly so, the presiding governments would be next provincial and fed-erally respectively and then of course, all the workers who made it all happen. So, what’s there not to like? Its an obvious win, win, win. As the multi-national oil companies gear up for more production, land-locked Alberta can’t understand why anybody wouldn’t want to get in on some of the Action. The sooner we rip up the rest of northern Alberta and get at that Black Gold, the sooner the rest of Canada can handsome-ly profit as well- we’re constantly told. It’s a known fact that Cana-da possess the second

largest oil reserves worldwide, all-be-it mixed with sand.

All we need now is a couple pipelines to move that product to markets that dearly want it. Heck, we won’t even process it, we’ll get it out to our custom-ers as quick as it comes out of the ground, still warm, just the way the Chinese like it. Added-value, something we use to do, ancient his-tory what’s “trending now” in Canada is raw exports. Why, raw-log

exports to China was a complete success, this oil sales should be a piece-of-cake.

Well, if it was only that simple. I have a sneaking suspicion P.M. Harper doesn’t trust science to say the right things, probably why he axed 700 scien-tists across Canada. In this cutting-edge era, the return of knuck-le-dragging, oxygen starved mentalities are once again cham-pioned. Such laws as cause and effect have

little bearing when it comes to discussing the consequences of oil extraction in the Tar Sands country.

As much as we would like to ignore the large amounts of pollution going up into the atmosphere over Alberta, the huge amounts of natural gas used to power the whole endeavour, or the ripping up of the Boreal Forest-which function as lungs for the northern hemi-sphere or the immense

amounts of fresh water used in the separat-ing processes that are finally stored in giant ponds, actually lakes so toxic that any contact with life, be it fowl or mammals means cer-tain death, all these, are the lasting negative imprints on our ailing planet.

Now, the big play-ers in the oil industry with P.M. Harper lead-ing the charge, want to double even triple these lasting lethal effects.

Cablecar kudosDear Sir,

Once again I would like to use your media to thank those responsible for the installation of the 80 kilometre per hour zone in the vicinity of the Cablecar subdivision. A step further would see the 100km/h sign at the north end of the Hirsh Creek straight-away moved to the vicinity of the Snowflake giving an 80km/h limit all the way from town.

As for the 100km/h sign just south of Cable-car heading south, if it was removed we would have 80 km from north of Cablecar all the way in to town. But I leave this to those responsible and knowledgeable.

Next step hopefully will be the turn off lane into Cablcar from the north. I truly think this could be a life saver with all the traffic expected. I hope it won’t be too late.

Sincerely,Kelly Smith

Two Kitimatians take healthcare to HaitiCameron Orr

Haiti is not a country you expect many people to pine for, but Hope Bechard leaves a piece of herself back there every time she leaves.

The Kitimat nurse has done overseas volun-teer trips since she was 18, starting in the Domini-can Republic.

She turned her sights to Haiti after the country was hit with a devastating earthquake.

“When the earthquake hit Haiti I just felt the need I had to go,” said Bechard.

The program they’re using to go to Haiti is called Hands Up for Haiti, and Bechard said she recently became the Canadian representative on their board, based in New York.

For this latest trip, the third with Hands Up but the fifth overall to Haiti, she has recruited fel-low nurse Amanda Slanina.

Bechard said she’ll do a nine week stay in Haiti, and Slanina will do five.

They’ll head to Haiti in October.But not before they’ve raised money to help

with their trip. Each of their trips will run up roughly $2,400 to $4,000. That’s dependant on how long the trip is and how much they bring with them as far as medical supplies.

The two are looking for help to get them on their way.

The easiest way to donate is to give money to a special account at the Envision Credit Union. People can ask to donate to the Hope and Amanda Haiti Fund, and tax receipts can be given for do-nations over $20.

It was a good old-fashioned chow down. The Kitimat Seniors Centre, the District of Kitimat, the Kitimat RCMP and the fire department went head-to-head to determine who makes the best chili in the annual chili cook-off at the Seniors Centre, a fundraiser for the Relay for Life. In all $165 was raised for the cancer fundraising event. As for the winner, it was the Kitimat RCMP which walked away as 2014’s reigning chili champions. Cool beans.

will curse our wan-ton stupidity. Perhaps its time to rethink this whole affair of the Tar Sands. Does B.C. want to be part of this environmental destruc-

tive venture. Perhaps the advice of the well respected former Pre-mier of Alberta Peter Lougheed may prove helpful, “go slow” tread lightly he often remarked concerning the Tar Sands.

The Enbridge folks and the Prime Min-ister’s office gravely underestimated the concerns of a major-ity of full time Kitimat residents.

As the plebiscite demonstrated, we’re a

cautious bunch for the most part and wary of risking our Kitimat val-ley to the rumbling of a bitumen filled pipeline and grotesquely large Supertankers on our Douglas Channel.

ties as well. E-mail her at [email protected] to arrange that.

“To me, Haiti is not what is portrayed in the media,” said Bechard. “Haiti is mountains and it’s beautiful ocean waters and the people there are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They’re very resilient.”

She added, “It’s one of those places where I fly in...[and] you get this great feeling. It’s like my second home.”

For Slanina, this trip is one she said her father always had wanted to take so she couldn’t say no.

“I’ve wanted to do something like this, and now the opportunity came up. And there is huge need there.”

Hospital auxiliary adds much to health care

It can surprise you how much of your day benefits from the work of volunteers.

A patient at Kitimat General Hospital using a bed lift to sit up while a television plays in the back-ground is one such moment brought to you by volunteers.

The Kitimat Hos-pital Auxiliary, the group you may know better as the ones which run the gift shop in the hospital lobby, are the ones which fun-draised to purchase a number of bed lifts for both acute care and multi-level care, as well manage the rental of televisions to patients.

“We’ve now reached the point where there will be a ceiling lift above all 36 beds in the [multi-lev-el care],” added Hospital Auxiliary President Jennifer Kean.

That is thanks to a joint effort by the hospital and the auxiliary. The auxiliary provided 10 of those 36 units. To pay for just five lifts cost around $40,000.

To fundraise the money they use to spend on patients’ comfort and well being is a full-time job for the group.

Those television rentals ac-

count for a lot of that money, while the gift shop in the hospital’s lobby is probably the biggest money gen-erator for them.

To keep the wheels moving the organization uses, as of right now, 37 volunteers.

Those volunteers’ time can be as little as an hour to several hours a week.

“It depends what they want to do,” said Kean. “If they want to work in the gift shop, each gal works three

and a half hours. Sometimes less than once a week, most often once a week.”

It’s not just ‘gals’ the auxiliary wants though, and they encourage men to donate their time too.

“You can’t have a 76-year-old woman [moving televisions],” said Kean, saying they usually rely on hospital staff to help out.

Anyone so inclined to join can ask for an application at the aux-iliary’s gift shop, or contact either Kean at 250-639-5639, or Armelle Kennedy at 250-632-2676.

Just know that for most people they really enjoy the time they give.

“Once they’re in they seem to stay,” said Kean about volunteers.

“Once they’re in [the auxiliary] they seem to

stay.”

Quilters celebrate 30 years in stitchesCameron Orr

The Kitimat Quil-ters Guild have been sewing fabric for 30 years now, and boy are their � ngers tired.

Or maybe not. Over three decades machines have slowly invaded the group, as they have in many areas of life, and at the start it was a big controversy over using machines over hand.

“Originally you were a really good quil-ter if you did everything by hand. You were al-lowed to sew the pieces together by machine but when it came to actual � nishing and doing the quilting part of it that was hand done. It was quite a con� ict when all these machines took over quilting,” ex-plained Lois Mendel, who joined the guild about two years after its inception at a house on Brant Street, under the leadership of a woman named Mary-Lee.

“As time went on, you could see every-body wanted to ma-chine quilt because it saved so much time,” she adds.

The Kitimat Quil-ters Guild celebrated 30 years as a group, and � ve years host-ing a quilting retreat at their annual retreat at the Riverlodge. To see the gymnasium at the facility turned into a quilters dream is a sight to behold. Wall to wall sewing machines, quilts, and the ladies from corner to corner.

It’s not just a per-sonal hobby though. The Guild has been providing their prod-ucts to those in need since the start.

“We make what we call community quilts. That means if some-one has been burned out of their home we give them a quilt. Usu-ally, more than not, if there’s children in-volved,” said Janet Malnis, who headed up organizing this year’s retreat.

They also offer up quilts to medical pa-tients and, as tradition, to the last baby born in the year.

The annual retreat began as a way to ac-

tually fundraise for the group in order to pay for the fabric of the quilts they hand out.

Malnis said 66 people attended this year, with people stretching from Haida

Gwaii to Houston, BC.The local group

is approximately 30 people.

Cameron OrrTwo authors shortlisted for

BC Book Prizes stopped in Kiti-mat for a book reading and chat at the Kitimat Public Library.

Jesse Donaldson is the author of This Day in Vancouver, a col-lection of snippets of Vancouver history cover its 127 years. This book is a � nalist for the BC Book-sellers’ Choice Award in Honour of Bill Duthie.

He was joined with Ashley Little, the author of the � ction piece The New Normal, about a 16 year old girl who begins los-ing her hair after her twin sister’s death. This book is a � nalist for

the 2014 Sheila A. Egoff Chil-dren’s Literature Prize

“It’s probably the most au-thobiographical thing I’ve ever written,” she said. “I have been a 16-year-old girl in Calgary and some of the things that happen to her happened to me too.”

For Donaldson’s book, it’s like a calendar that looks back in time.

“It’s basically a day-at-a-time history of the city of Vancouver, and by extension the Lower Main-land,” he said. “Each page has a day dedicated to it and each page has a historical happening from the last 128 years.”

Chevron is continuing upgrading work on the Bish Forestry Service (FSR) that requires public access to the area be restricted in order to ensure public safety. This work is to flatten, straighten and widen the existing FSR to accommodate future traffic demands as the proposed Kitimat LNG project moves forward.

• A 24-hour public safety and security checkpoint has been set up along the FSR to inform the public about access restrictions.

• Access restrictions are in place during construction activity such as blasting as well as work on narrow sections of the road in order to ensure the safety of the public.

Chevron places the highest priority on the safety of the public and our workforce. Temporarily restricting public access to the Bish FSR while construction is underway will help us achieve our goal of an incident and injury-free workplace.

When construction activity is complete, the Bish Forestry Service Road will re-open to the public.

Escort tugs will respond immediately in the case of an emergency, and one of the two escort tugs will be tethered at all times.

All tankers calling on our terminal must be vetted by a third-party prior to leaving their port of origin.

Janet Holder, Leader of Northern Gateway

Canada has vast oil reserves that have the power to ensure jobs and other economic benefi ts for generations of British Columbians and Canadians. But this resource is only going to one market–the United States–meaning Canadians are losing out on hundreds of millions of dollars.This is the main reason why Northern Gateway is urgently needed. Northern Gateway will open new markets for Canadian oil in Asia, creating thousands of good-paying jobs in British Columbia and generating much-needed revenues for taxpayers.Over the last decade we have been carefully planning this project. It is the most advanced pipeline proposal under consideration that is responding to these challenges. The project has undergone the intense scrutiny of the Joint Review Panel of the National Energy Board–the most extensive scientifi c review of its kind in Canadian history–and received its endorsement for approval.By moving ahead, Northern Gateway will safely open new markets for Canadian oil much sooner than any other project under consideration. While this provides a huge economic benefi t for Canadians, it is not the only opportunity Northern Gateway has to offer.

If, in the years ahead, a new refi nery is built in Kitimat that offers the same benefi ts as international markets, Northern Gateway will be able to deliver product for that as well. Or, if a facility is built in Alberta, Northern Gateway will be able to move refi ned product to new markets. In fact, Northern Gateway can provide a safe means of transport from Alberta to Kitimat for oil wherever it is needed most, at home or abroad, always ensuring that Canadians get the value we rightly expect from our most valuable commodity.Most important, no matter what product we are moving, Northern Gateway will always ensure that ours is a safer, better project. That’s because Northern Gateway is already incorporating numerous measures specifi cally designed for British Columbia’s environment and landscape, and is already setting a new standard in Canada for safety and environmental responsibility.For example, every tanker carrying Canadian oil to new markets will be double-hulled and guided to open ocean by B.C. coast pilots. All loaded tankers will be escorted by two tugs, and every tanker coming into our terminal will be fully vetted for safety.At Northern Gateway we are working every day to build a project that will serve our country for generations to come. That passionate commitment is at the heart of our proposal. It drives us in everything we do. It has resulted in a project that measures up to its original promise of a safer, better pipeline that benefi ts every British Columbian and every Canadian.

Mayor Joanne Monaghan, along with PTI Group executives, ceremonially turn the soil at the future site of the PTI Group lodge in Strawberry Meadows. For PTI, from left, is Phil Gruner, senior director of operations for the Pacific Northwest; Sean Crockett, vice president of business development; CEO Ron Green; and Bob Greaves, manager of business development.

PTI Group breaks groundCameron Orr

The head of PTI Group is looking forward to the eventual construction of their work lodge in Kitimat’s Strawberry Meadows.

CEO Ron Green spoke to reporters shortly before a ceremonial groundbreaking event at their cleared site, which will make way for a temporary worker living facility which may eventually hold over 2,000 beds.

He said the company was really put to task by the local council to ensure they live up to the company’s commitments in building their facil-ity, which had initially been met with vocal con-cern from the community, particularly people who live in that neighbourhood.

“Here we get to participate with the com-munity,” said Green. “We’re intimate, with the proximity that we have. We can help drive some economic value.”

To that he referred specifically to the fact that PTI facilities typically have their own shops, for instance, but that’s in places where they are far removed from a municipal boundary.

Given their location essentially right next door to the downtown he said people staying in the lodge will have the opportunity to shop at local stores.

“The merchants, hopefully, will be able to benefit to that approach to business.”

He said construction of capacity in the lodge will depend on client commitments. The com-pany is aiming for 400 rooms to be open by next February, added vice president of business de-velopment Sean Crockett.

They are also looking to hire locally for people to work in the camp itself, which he said makes sense to not have employees continually rotating out of town.

He repeated the company’s statements from its earliest stages in Kitimat that a flux of work-ers coming to Kitimat aren’t being brought in by PTI, they are coming anyway, said Green. The facility, he said, will help manage that spike in persons.

As for concerns about the workers causing problems in the community, he said that guide-lines for residents in their facility are strict and people causing trouble are removed, which for

an out-of-town worker will mean they’re out of work. He said given that there won’t be trouble.

As for their immediate neighbours, he said there have been no complaints and they get along well with nearby homeowners.

Kitimat’s Almeida picked for CougarsThe Prince George Cougars Hockey Club

With the fifth overall selection in the 2014 WHL Ban-tam Draft, the Prince George Cougars are selected forward Justin Almeida, from Kiti-mat, of the North Shore Winter Club.

Almeida, 5’7, 130 pounds, is a left-hand-ed shooting center who

the Cougars feel will add strong depth and skill to the organiza-tion.

“Justin has a very high hockey IQ,” said Prince George Cou-gars Head Scout and Director of Player Per-sonnel, Todd Harkins, moments after making the selection. “He’s very quick around the ice and likes to go to

the net and make plays. We’re excited to have him as a member of the Prince George Cou-gars.”

In 70 games with the North Shore Win-terclub, Almeida tal-lied 80 goals and 67 assists for 147 points and 190 penalty min-utes. He also added five goals and seven points during the Western Ca-

nadian Bantam Cham-pionships.

Almeida joins an impressive list of for-wards selected in the first round by the Prince George Cougars. Other notable recent first round forward selec-tions include: Jansen Harkins (2012), Brad Morrison (2012), Alex Forsberg (2010) and Brett Connolly (2008).

The Prince George Cougars are next scheduled to pick 27th overall in the second round of the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft.

The story of the famed Mrs. WakitaKitimat merchant

Mrs. Wakita of City Centre Hardware has an interesting past. Over the decades she has witnessed a lot of history and the stories she tells are from the communities of Ste-veston, Lillooet, Revel-stoke and Kitimat.

Mihoko Sakai was the third-born Nisei in her family of ten. Nisei means being second generation Japanese and refers to children born in Canada to Japanese immigrant parents. (Those born in Japan are called Issei).

For her first 11 years Mihoko lived in Steveston, the cannery village in Richmond at the mouth of the Fraser River. Her parents were from a fishing family and in Steveston her Dad and his boat the Elva M were respected

and valuable forces.Mihoko’s Mom

worked in the fish cannery while her Grandmother provided childcare for her grand-children. At times Issei grandparents, includ-ing the elder Sakais and Wakitas, would get together, often with their grandchildren in tow. One of Mihoko’s best friends back then was Yae Wakita.

Life for young Mihoko was easy. Surrounded by fam-ily, she lived in com-fortable cannery rent-als in Richmond with electricity and indoor plumbing.

Japanese cuisine, supplies and the latest from around the world were readibly avail-able.

But all that came to a crashing end when on December 7, 1941, Ja-

pan attacked the Unit-ed States naval base at Pearl Harbour in Ha-waii. With that act of hostility, Canada was at war in the Pacific.

Anyone of Japa-nese descent living on the West Coast was considered a threat by the government which planned to eliminate the risk by relocating them.

A schedule was drawn up to transport all 22,000 Japanese - even those born in Can-ada were not exempt.

Within months all were ordered to sell

their assets and prepare to evacuate the coast.

For the Sakais that meant selling their treasured Elva M - their boat, their life and their livelihood. They were fishing folk, meant for the sea.

Getting a decent price for the fish pack-er collecting vessel was impossible.

There were hun-dreds of Japanese boats for sale creating a buy-ers market in which the longer you waited to sell, the less you got. And removing the ship from the water was

not an option with the prospect of dry rot.

So the Sakais, like so many others of Japanese descent, were ripped off.

The Wakita family operated a prosperous general store on Monc-ton Street in Steveston and they too suffered financially, having to sell the store for a ri-diculous, rock bottom price.

The Canadian gov-ernment had designed a series of 15 settle-ment camps scattered through the interior in places like Revel-stoke, New Denver and Lillooet. Some were government-supported barracks with little pri-vacy but with all ex-penses paid.

Others were self-supporting where Japa-nese Canadians with means looked after themselves. The Sakais were proud people - they would support themselves.

Their destination was to be a new instant “town” in Lillooet.

Exchange program starts tomorrowCameron Orr

A group of four Italians will be shown the red car-pet on an exchange program which kicks off tomorrow in Kitimat.

Two teachers and two students are set to arrive from Pergine, in northern Italy, the first half in a two-part exchange program that will eventually see students from Kitimat enjoy a week-and-a-half in Italy as well.

The coordinating team in Kitimat for this exchange is teacher Reid Nelson, Rob Goffinet, Gerald Amos, Nan-cy Nyce, and John Allsop who has worked on this ex-

change for several years.The visitors will also be

given a special orientation to First Nation culture with festivities in Kitamaat Vil-lage with the Haisla, and will tour the Douglas Channel, as well as spending time in the high school and with our town council.

Allsop has worked with the group from Italy for a long time and while he had to move away from Kitimat last year he’s continued to help ar-range the trip and will return to see the group’s arrival.

Nelson said that even local politics won’t be ig-nored on the visit. The Ital-

ian teachers and students, he said, showed immense inter-est in the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal and will be learning about pipelines and their impacts during their visit.

Such a topic may be on the table when the students meet with Kitimat Council.

The group will depart on May 18, but a Kitimat con-tingent of students will take to Italy in 2015 for a similar visit.

The local coordinators made sure First Nations could be represented on the tour as there was a lot of interest on the Italian side to know more

about the Haisla.“We will have some of

the very first ever Haisla stu-dents going to Pergine and the area around,” said Nelson. “They’ve never had students of a First Nations ancestry visit their location before and they’re very much looking forward to it.”

As for Allsop, he’s pleased to have all the plan-ning paying off for this cul-tural exchange program.

“This is a culmination of a very, very exciting project which is going to continue when the Kitimat students, including First Nations, go there in 2015.”
