Oh, a Christmas treeA new tree, a white spruce, has been planted in a temporary location near Haisla Town Centre. This tree will replace the former Gyro Christmas Tree which had to be cut down due to the ongoing work developing the site of the hold hospital. A plan is in place to develop a public space nearby where this tree will eventually � nd its permanent home. Meanwhile this tree is expected to be lit with holiday lighting on December 1.

Weather shelter reopens in KitimatBig push to get volunteers is on

The committee behind Kitimat’s Extreme Weather Shelter is happy to have the funding se-cured from BC Housing to re-open the facility this year.

The shelter was formally openedNovember 1, and will run until March 31.

As was done last year the shelter will be run-ning seven days a week, opening at 8 p.m. and closing at 8 a.m. the following morning.

In the shelter’s � rst year, when it operated in the Public Safety Building, it would only be opened when the town declared extreme weather, which was a combination of factors including temperature and rain fall.

This year it will again run in the basement of the Kitimat Baptist Church.

To get the program going the shelter’s com-mittee, operating formally under the Kitimat Child Development Centre, received funding of $64,000. That money will help go towards hiring staff who will work the shelter each night.

But the safety guidelines of the shelter means they want at least two people on-site each night, so the group is looking for interested people to assist in volunteering as well.

Training is provided to those who sign up.Committee member Margaret Warcup says

the need for a weather shelter is “a recognition our community has changed.”

Demand remains, she said, even if Kitimat doesn’t have the same housing pressures as it did

last year during peak of the KMP construction. Rent prices do remain fairly high.

“There’s still people who can’t support the rents we have,” she said.

Taking lessons from last year, the operators will be looking for sock donations from the com-munity — of course in addition to any time people can spare at the shelter too.

Trying to provide dry socks for people who spend their days outdoors was a nearly impossible task and providing them made a big difference in users of the facility’s comfort.

Warcup says ultimately they still push a ‘Housing First’ initiative, which is a goal that ev-ery person should have a place to live. A shelter may be a stop-gap measure but they want all peo-ple to be able to � nd permanent accommodation.

Last year, out of all the nights the shelter was opened, it was accessed for 58.

In total 98 beds were used, by 11 different clients.

Predicting needs is challenging. The group knows there are homeless people in the commu-nity but can’t predict how many will use the shel-ter this year.

All users of the shelter were adults, while any children needing shelter were directed to the Ta-mitik Status of Women group.

Inquiries on volunteering or donating can be made either to the CDC at 250-632-3144 or the shelter’s cell phone at 250-279-0847.

Taking a look at alternate schools

The Coast Mountains School District has taken to heart the recommendations of a report that looked at the role of alternate schools in the district.

For Kitimat that means speci� cally to Kitimat City High, which has a current enrolment of 48 students.

City High is seemingly well liked by the stu-dents who use it, which shows in average month-ly attendances of 40 per month in February and March, and dipping only to 38 in April, according to the school district’s report.

The district’s consultant approached Kitimat City High in two ways, one meeting with the stu-dents directly, and secondly with the staff and in-terested community members.

Perhaps expectably, keeping KCH in its own facility was among the priorities listed.

LNG Alliance talks projects and timelinesCameron Orr

The head of the BC LNG Alliance came through North-western B.C. with stops in local com-munities as they pressed on with theirpublic awareness cam-paign.

President David Keane was joined by the group’s Director of Communications Jas Johal, who said their aim for their visit was to push the message that LNG is still alive in B.C.

He said the value in their tour is that without current invest-ment decisions in the area for LNG projects people may become concerned things are

not moving.“I think people

get concerned when they don’t see projects moving quickly to fi-nal investment deci-sions. I think we have to remember these are highly complex proj-ects with a lot of mov-

ing parts that have to come together at the same time in order for a company to declare final investment deci-sion,” said Keane.

He added that the projects don’t follow political timelines too, responding to a question about the sort of pressure that may come with a provincial government very keen on seeing the industry develop.

Keane continues that the pace of work isn’t surprising to him.

“I don’t think it’s going any slower than it was expected,” he said, noting there are challenges in trying to make projects eco-nomically competitive

on global scale.And it’s not a mat-

ter of prices being up or down today.

“These companies aren’t going to make long-term economic decisions based on the spot price of crude oil,” he said, rather de-cisions are made on forecasts on prices and demand.

Keane also sees no problem with the federal government change following the election. He said early conversations with the Liberal party have been encouraging.

“I’ve had conver-sations with the Lib-eral party previously and they’ve been sup-portive of the econom-

ic development of this. Of course they want to make sure...it’s done in an environmentally and socially respon-sible way.”

Keane said small-er scale LNG projects could be online by 2018 or 2019 but says the larger projects may take to 2020 or 2021, depending of course on when a company makes a decision.

The real work left, he maintains, is being competitive against other countries such as Australia and Russia.

“We have to be competitive on a global basis or we’re not going to get to a final investmentdecision.”

Thornhill school trustee by-election called

Hydro

Jackie LieuwenThe Coast Moun-

tains School District has set Jan. 9, 2016 as the date for a by-elec-tion to replace long-time Thornhill trustee Gary Turner who passed away suddenly on Oct. 2.

The person will serve the remainder of Turner’s four-year term which began a year ago.

Nominations will open November 24 and close December 4.

Should just one person be nominated, that person will be

sworn in at the school board’s December meeting.

To be nominated, a person must be a Ca-nadian citizen, be 18 years of age or older and be a resident of

British Columbia for at least six months im-mediately before the day nomination papers are filed.

The person must not also be considered disqualified under pro-

visions of the Local Government Act.

The Thornhill trustee on the school board not only rep-resents Thornhill but the area reaching east of Thornhill along

Hwy16, Jackpine Flats, Old Remo and Lakelse Lake.

A warm winter and a dry spring and summer combined to produce a big jump in BC Hydro power ex-ports this year.

Electricity exports to the U.S. jumped by 73 per cent in the first eight months of 2015 compared to the same period last year, ac-cording to export data from Statistics Canada.

BC Hydro says the warmer winter decreased residential customer demand for electricity in B.C., leaving enough water in the Columbia and Peace River reservoirs that their combined volume reached record highs which allowed for more generation.

Canada Post is holding off further reduction of door-to-door mail service.

The organization made the announcement in the wake of the federal election. The new Liberal government had made com-mitments to halting the shift to a community-mailbox system. Although the new Liberal government wasn’t expected to for-mally take over until today, the carrier is putting on the brakes.

"Canada Post is temporarily suspending future deployment of the program to convert door-to-door mail delivery to com-munity mailboxes. We will work corroboratively with the Gov-ernment of Canada to determine the best path forward given the ongoing challenges faced by the Canadian postal system," Canada Post said in a statement.

Kitimat, and Terrace, were given notices in the mail earlier this year that the conversion to mailboxes was to take place in 2016.

While Canada Post was working with the District of Kiti-mat for the local transition, Kitimat Mayor Phil Germuth had said in April that the municipality had little sway in holding off the change here.

Apparently all it took was a seemingly landslide victory by the federal Liberals who strode in to a majority government on October 19.

"Efforts are now underway to place the comprehensive program on hold in an orderly fashion. This involves roughly 460,000 addresses across the country which are currently in the process to be converted to community mailboxes," Canada Post continued. "As a result, all conversions planned for No-vember and December 2015 and those announced for 2016 will be placed on hold. Customers impacted by this decision will receive a letter within the next few weeks advising them of the status of their mail delivery service."

Northern Health says many aspects to food serviceCameron Orr

Readers have written about it, people have campaigned against it, but the topic of what people say is sub-par food served at the Kitimat General Hospital contin-ues to be a point of concern.

Since publishing a recent Letter to the Editor about the subject we asked Northern Health what is done about food quality concerns. Namely that the food is unappealing, over processed and ulti-mately tossed by patients.

Jonathon Dyck with Northern Health’s public affairs and media rela-tions department, says the problem with talking about food is that it’s a very sub-jective topic. In addition, there are spe-ci� c considerations when it comes to hospital food too, he said.

“Everyone has different tastes and different likes,” he said. He said the pri-ority of Northern Health is making food that is healthy for a facility’s patients.

He didn’t specify where but he said food is supplied to the hospital from an outside central place.

“We source our food in a central way for a few reasons. One is for sustainabil-ity as we need to make sure that the food coming in can be available throughout the year. The second is for safety of pa-tients and ingredients,” he said. “What we do is we work hard to make sure the food we’re providing to patients is of high quality and meets all the guides we have created for patients and menus are within the Canadian food guidelines.”

He adds that a central food source

helps them quickly trace any potential food recalls.

He said Northern Health has em-barked on a questionnaire to ask patients about their experience with hospital food and are asking people to participate.

“We’ve started a questionnaire to ask patients about their food experience and to gather more information so we can make changes as appropriate.”

He said suggestions are acted on, subject to if the change still meets their guidelines.

“If there’s a menu item that might not be as popular at a facility we look at that and go ‘okay, is there something else we can substitute in there that would maybe be a better � t for patients,’” he said. “Feedback always is appreciated.”

On October 19, Canadians coast-to-coast, voted in large numbers for political change.

And political change is what they can expect when Justin Trudeau, the leader of the newly-elected federal Liberal Party, takes over the reins of the careening stagecoach of the Prime Minister’s of� ce and tries to control some of the uncertainty that is ram-pant in our country as we approach Christmas.

The election, we were assured, was really all about the economy but for most people, while the economy may have been among the front and centre issues that were foremost in their minds it was certainly not the ultimate issue that helped to topple unpopular Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who opted to extend the elec-tion period to nearly 11 weeks from the more normal � ve week campaign period.

That, I think, is something he came to regret.

Political analysts � rst opined that with the huge amount of money the Conservatives had available for

an election, this would give Harperan advantage.

It did not turn out that way and nu-merous unexpected issues cropped up to take the edge off any advantage the Conservatives might be seen to hold.

The refugee crisis, the plunge in oil prices, the infamous niqab debate, the Duffy trial and other PMO scan-dals, well I’m sure you remember the things that crept up to keep Harper off balance and ducking direct answers throughout the election. He even des-perately got around to saying the elec-tion “is not about me!”

It became increasingly clear, very quickly, as the results poured in quickly through the night on October 19, that third place Justin Trudeau was the signi� cantly preferred choice, leap frogging with ease over the Prime

Minister and Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair, to lead Canada into a time of change.

Trudeau, 43, was � rst elected to parliament in 2008 and took the helm of the party in April, 2013, winning a leadership race which many people felt was more of “a coronation.”

He is the second youngest prime minister in Canadian history.

Stephen Harper is expected to make his resignation of� cial this week shortly before Justin Trudeau is sworn in as Canada’s Prime Minister, follow-ing the announcement of his cabinet.

Now, please understand I am not saying that this is either right or wrong, but I think it’s a bit of misfortune that Mr. Trudeau, who spearheaded his campaign with a promise to spend bil-lions to create jobs in improving in-frastructure across Canada, wound up inadvertently acknowledging that an expenditure of an estimated $10 mil-lion or more on 24 Sussex Place, the Prime Minister’s of� cial residence, would be the � rst major infrastructure program.

Working together bringing the news to you.

Northern headwayGiven how the local riding votes perhaps there

are more people around here that would have wished for Prime Minister Mulcair over Trudeau but there’s certainly many people who are celebrating the win for at least one reason: the promise of the end of Northern Gateway.

Trudeau and the Liberals had committed that Enbridge’s bitumen pipeline project to Kitimat would not happen if they were elected.

And here we are with them in government now.As reported in our sister paper the Lakes District

News, Enbridge itself is putting on a strong face and saying the end is not nigh.

Northern Gateway’s communications manager Ivan Giesbrecht said the pipeline proponent “looks forward to the opportunity to sit down with Trudeau and his government” to provide an update on the progress of the project and their partnerships with First Nations and Métis people in Alberta and B.C.

“We share the vision of the Trudeau government that energy projects must incorporate world-leading environmental standards and First Nations and Métis ownership,” said Giesbrecht. “We remain con� dent in the rigor and thoroughness of the joint review pan-el process; its careful examination of the Northern Gateway project was one of the most exhaustive of its kind in our country’s history.”

There are other doubts this is the end.A lawyer quoted in the Financial Post says the

governing party doesn’t even have legal means to reverse the federal approval of the pipeline project.

If true that makes a challenge to how powerful, or powerless, the government is to making the pipe-line go away.

The party also isn’t entirely anti-pipeline, as they have supported the Keystone XL pipeline.

In a Liberal 2014 press release the party also points to consultation as a sticking point to being against the approval, not the project itself.

“The review process has failed to consult with local communities and Aboriginal Peoples, and Ca-nadians have not been reassured that the local econ-omy will be protected,” Justin Trudeau was quoted in the release.

Ultimately Northern Gateway doesn’t look good under the new government. But perhaps the new government will hold off on any decisions until the judges overseeing the appeal of the pipeline approv-al make their judgement, which could take months as they have reserved their ruling.

Northern Gateway certainly has their work cut out for them if they’re hoping to make any new friends in Ottawa.

But bottom line is Northern Gateway, while not looking good, is not in my opinion dead just yet.

Opponents of the project can’t put down their pitchforks just yet.

Do you find your-self having more days in the month than money? Are you liv-ing paycheque to pay-cheque? Do the acro-nyms TFSA, RSP and RESP have little to no meaning to you?

The Canadian Financial Capability Survey, conducted in 2014 by Statistics Can-ada states that: One in three Canadians (33.8 per cent) are not pre-paring financially for retirement, either on their own or through a company pension plan.

Sixty per cent of Canadians do not know how much mon-ey they will need to retire.

Only 7.1 per cent of Canadian adults consider themselves “very knowledgeable” financially.

According to the Task Force on Finan-cial Literacy, being financially literate is critical to our prosper-ity and well-being, but how do we know if we are financially liter-ate? Financial literacy is defined as the abil-ity to understand how money works, how

to manage and earn money, how to invest money and how to do-nate money. It has to do with your ability to make good financial choices and it includes the cycle of earning, saving and spending.

How can you tell if you are financially literate? A good place to start is by answer-ing the following four questions:

1. Do you know how to use a credit card wisely? Three easy rules to managing your credit card are: pay your bill on time, limit cash withdrawals and don’t spend over your limit.

2. Do you know how to set and keep a budget? Setting a bud-get takes discipline and effort but the re-wards are well worth it. A budget enables you to plan how you will spend your money and how you will save your money. It is im-portant to track your income, monitor your expenses and set sav-ings goals.

3. Do you know what it means to bor-row money and repay

your loans? There are many different options for borrowing money, from personal loans to lines of credit. It’s important to under-stand the options available so you can choose the one that best fits your financial situation.

4. Do you under-stand investments? Many people believe that investing is only for wealthy people and that is not true. Investing wisely, how-ever, will certainly contribute to your wealth. There are many options when it comes to invest-ing your money. Un-derstanding the right choice and level of risk for your particular situation is important. Financial advisors can

offer you free advice to help you on your in-

vestment journey.By simply ask-

ing yourself these questions, you’ll un-cover your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to your finan-cial knowledge. We can’t all be experts in everything and that is why financial institutions have ex-perts available to help you with everything from setting up a

budget to establishing a personal investment plan. In most cases, this advice and service is completely free.

Becoming financially literate may take some hard work but the divi-dends are certainly worth the effort.

So just how financially literate are you?

He said he and his family would reside elsewhere, until the moldering heritage residence is brought up-to-date.

Trudeau, however, seems well able to simply brush this aside just as easily as he is brushing aside immigration service doubts that he can achieve another of his top-of-the-line election promises, to bring 25,000 refugees from the Middle East to Canada by New Years’ Day.

Thank goodness he didn’t listen to retired general Rick Hiller who said Canada could easily bring in 50,000 Syrian refugees in three months.

And his promise to re-organize the troublesome senate, where he “ex-pelled” Liberal senators from his caucus, a move that may come back to haunt Trudeau when he quickly tries to meet other election promises, such as over-turning the numerous elements of Harper’s late election-spurred legislation he disagreed with.

I think that’s the way it’s going to be. The upcoming Trudeau-era is prom-ised to be a “can do” time in Canada and I wish the Prime Minister and his cabinet lots of luck. It will be fun watching the twists and turns as he attempts to meet his most-urgent election promises; legalizing marijuana, overturning divisive legislation and policies, reaching some climate control agreements with other countries, and so on.

They are going to need some luck, if they are to bring real recognizable change to the Canada which Stephen Harper damn near succeeded in - as promised - making “unrecognizable” to Canadians when he was finished. But Canadians have given him four years to get started, and a big majority, the real means to “git’er done.”

That’s the basis for one of the cartoons in a new book called You Might Be From British Columbia If..., a col-lection of cartoons by Dan Murphy.

Murphy, who moved to B.C. from the United States in the 70s, has made a living as a political cartoon-ist satirizing life, and although he took the task hesitantly — it was going to be a lot of work, he said — he’s created quite the com-pendium of a slice of life in the province.

The subject of Kitimat landed on the cartoonist’s radar for this book, but Murphy found a challenge in that he’d never been here before.

So he called in re-inforcements.

“One thing about a book like this, once you commit to it you’ve got a short time to do it,” he said. “I would have loved to have wandered about...but for example Kiti-mat, I couldn’t make it, so I had to call Gerry and I said ‘Gerry, help me out here.’”

Gerry is Gerry Hummel, an experi-enced political car-

toonist from this area, who has worked pub-lished through the website the Common-sense Canadian. Gerry, said Murphy, provided a detailed list about life in Kitimat.

“That cartoon for Kitimat is one of my favourites and it’s thanks to Gerry Hum-mel.”

The cartoon is this; two men fishing

in a river. A caption says “You might be from B.C. if you can speak Kitimat without a translator.”

One of the an-glers says to the other, “Made my debut at the pink elephant, af-ter MESS worked for Uncle Al, and these days if I’m not fishing the chuck I’ll be at the zoo with my confrere Gerry.”

The footnotes ex-plain the lingo, and for those who aren’t as in the know, the refer-ences in order are this: the old Kitimat Gen-eral Hospital, Mount Elizabeth Secondary School, Alcan, the chuck is the Douglas Channel and the zoo is the bar at the Kitimat Hotel.

Murphy said he’s a big fan of the entire province in general too.

“We’ve got a won-derful mishmash of cultures here,” he said. “You’ve got a world within this province.”

He said he has a working theory that being an outsider to B.C. gives a unique perspective.

“I have a theory...it’s about how it helps to be kind of an out-sider for political car-toonists.”

He said he was im-pressed with B.C. on

his arrival.“When I came here

I was just astounded. I’m not sure you could be born here and not be amazed by this place and the diversity of it.”

As much as there is diversity, he says there are many ways that B.C. residents are linked.

“The thing we have in common is none of us trust weather fore-casters. That’s because we’ve got, like, 30 dif-ferent weather systems

sometimes within a square mile.”

The book was pitched to him by publisher Macintyre-Purcell who has done similar books on other provinces. He ulti-mately decided doing the book could be a way to say thanks to the province.

“Somebody else could do another 120 cartoons about the province. Totally dif-ferent places. It’s so darn big.”

Taxi airport subsidy to continue for eligible ridersCameron Orr

The District of Kitimat’s transporta-tion subsidy to the airport will continue at least until next November.

From January to September this year

there were 101 passengers who took ad-vantage of the program which provides a reduced taxi fare to the airport for per-sons who are seniors, persons with dis-abilities and economically challenged

persons who qualify under the District’s Leisure Service Access Policy.

The yearly budget for 2015 was set at $9,000 and only $3,500 had been used by September 30.

Continued from page 1While certainly a relief to many the

report doesn’t recommend the integra-tion of Kitimat City High into Mount Elizabeth, a proposal which was put for-ward last year but was quickly kiboshed after push back from KCH parents and a petition.

“Simply integrating Kitimat City High within Mt. Elizabeth Middle/Sec-ondary for financial reasons prior to exploring other options may be short-sighted,” read the report, prepared by consultant Frank Dunham.

That said there are changes consid-ered under the report.

“The district could also consider transforming Kitimat City High into a demonstration school focused upon dif-ferentiated instruction and project and community-based experiential learning,” the report says.

Dunham says providing special-ty courses at KCH could increase the school’s enrolment too.

The report on alternate school pro-grams was presented in June to the school board and trustees adopted the re-port and approved the implementation of the report’s recommendations.

Ultimately the report says efforts need to be made to “bring the commu-nity to the school or involve students in the community through work experience, mentoring and partnerships with elders and other...role models.”

“The district could also consider transforming Kitimat City High into a demonstration school...”

Throughout history, millions of soldiers have marched into wars to protect the freedoms of their countries. Remembrance Day is a solemn time to commemorate those soldiers’ achievements and sacri� ces and to pay respects to soldiers who died in battle. Remembrance Day was once known as Armistice Day because it marks the signing of the armistice that put an end

to the hostilities of World War I. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year, guns fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare between the Germans and Allied troops. The armistice agreement was signed in a French train carriage at 11 a.m. Later, the carriage where the historic event took place was put in a specially constructed building to serve as a monument to the defeat of

Germany. Although it was moved by German forces and later destroyed during World War II, after that war ended a replacement carriage, correct in every detail, was rededicated on Armistice Day in 1950. Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day after World War II to commemorate soldiers from both world wars. It is now used as a way to pay hommage to any fallen soldier.


December 1943 in London was an unusually dry month. The bulk of the rain that would fall came down on the 19th, leading to a mild and rainless Christmas in the days after.

It was under the cloudy, still skies that Joyce Lil-ian Harmel was at home while her husband was cer-tainly somewhere in the skies over Europe, a � ghter pilot in the Sec-ond World War.

Except on December 20th that year things went wrong. Her husband, Léon Harmel, crash landed near a town called Abbeville, in enemy territory.

The Air Coun-cil’s ‘Casualty Branch’ would de-liver news to Mrs. Harmel on Christmas Eve.

“I am command-ed by the Air Coun-cil to express to you their great regret on learning that your husband, Léon Jo-seph Gerard Harmel, Royal Air Force, is missing as the result of air operations on 20th of December, 1943, when he set out for action in a Spit� re aircraft and failed to return,” read the letter.

The letter contin-ued that “this does not necessarily mean that he is killed or

wounded,” which was likely no great relief to a woman who could reason-ably believe she had just become a widow.

Léon was a Flight Sergeant for the RAF Bel-gian WWII 350

Flight Squadron.The story of

Léon’s disap-pearance was not known to his fu-ture children, who happened upon the correspondence as they looked

through their par-ents’ affects decades later.

His daughter Cindy Harmel said their dad didn’t speak much about the war, except for a few little details, but nothing that would shed light on what the con� ict itself wasreally like.

They were told things like how hard it really was to be-come a � ghter pilot in the war, having to go through very rig-orous physicals and

need-ed to have the � ight credentials to begin with.

“As far as talking about [the war], no, not much.”

Before their mom passed away in 1999 things of their fathers

were handed out to the kids.

Cindy received a binder of documents, where she found award certi� cates, but also learned about the time he

went m i s s i n g . Learning of this chapter of family his-tory was very inter-esting and eye open-ing.Continued on page 9

Later the family,

in 1956, would emi-grate from England to B.C., Canada.

Cindy says that her mother would have been newly pregnant at the time her father went missing in the war.

L é o n would end up having

a career at both Alcan and Eurocan

here in Kitimat.In 1992, he

passed away at 71years old.

Like many others who lived through life at the front lines of the war, Léon kept what he knew and saw mostly to him-self.

It’s not an expe-rience many want to relive, even just in memory.

“He never gloat-ed about it,” said Cindy.

Harmel’s sister, Genevieve, wearing his pilot jacket

shortly after he was awarded his wings.

Claire Rattée, an owner for the Divine Ink tattoo and pierc-ing business at Nechako Centre, knows just about everything you need to know to run a proper studio.

By that she says it’s not just about the service or the artist; safety is also a key components to a proper operation.

She said there’s quite a lot of businesses, whether home based or studio, that neglect or simply don’t realize the safety protocols required to have a clean facility.

And laws in B.C. aren’t where she’d like them to be.

Rattée has inked tattoos for three years, and has been a piercer for four. She did an ap-prenticeship in the Lower Main-land but apprenticeships are getting fewer and far between in the industry, she says.

“It’s not a regulated indus-try. Anyone can tattoo, anyone can pierce. Which is dangerous, because anybody does,” she said.

There are many obvious dangers to tattooing and pierc-ing, notably risk of infections and spreading of infectious dis-eases.

Divine Ink will only hire people who have done ap-prenticeships, and ideally ones through them directly, as a way to quality control the people of-fering the services.

“At the end of the day I would rather [a] person be re-ally upset with the artwork they have but not leave with Hepati-tis C,” she said.

Rattée said she’s taken training courses on bloodborne pathogens to have a better un-derstanding on managing health risks.

“It is dangerous what we do for a living so I started taking a really keen interest in [safety].”

At her studio they take the appropriate precautions, from the types of surfaces they use to their equipment. They have a certified autoclave machine to sterilize all their reusable equip-ment.

Rattée spoke up on health and safety for tattoo businesses after Northern Health pitched safety advise.

Northern Health pointed to tips such as avoiding services of untrained artists, and to avoid studios without health approval.

There should be hand sinks and the place should have in-spection reports

If a client feels something is wrong with a business they can report their concerns to North-ern Health’s environmental health officer. Contact informa-tion is on their website.

Rattée has always wel-comed health inspectors in to her business but does say that as nice as it is that Northern Health is paying attention to the issue, health services in B.C. need to step up to better protect resi-dents.

Rattée found that the health inspector checking out her own business seemed to know quite little about proper techniques. They were more trained on food services than body modification.

The inspector, she said, didn’t know what an autoclave was at the time.

“That’s a huge concern for me if you don’t know what an autoclave is...that’s what you’re supposed to be using to sterilize equipment.”

She’s taken to adopting a unofficial role of advocating for industry safety, including for-warding concerns about busi-nesses to the health authority too.

She emphasizes it’s a safety

concern and not a business deci-sion which motivates her.

“I’m not worried about the competition,” she said. She said she’s concerned when people come to her with problems from other artists.

“I’m concerned too because this is my community now and these are the people I care about and I don’t want to hear about people ending up having prob-lems.”

Future improvements she wants to see is better training for inspectors and for inspectors themselves to be able to dedicate more time to looking in to bad practices.

Now, what does a potential client need to look for in a tattoo studio?

Number one, says Rattée, is that there should be a waiver to sign, and the client should be free to ask any questions and have them answered. The artist should also lay out proper after-care too.

Secondly, make sure there are no fabric surfaces in the studio either. Fabric is an easy place for pathogens to hide out.

A client can also ask about the sterilization process the stu-dio uses. A high level disinfec-tant should also be used by the business.

Even looking through an artist’s portfolio can give a sense of the business too.

“I’ve seen artist portfolios where they take pictures of tat-toos that are clearly infected,” she said.

People should take extra care if the studio is out of some-one’s home. She said a home-based studio in itself is not nec-essarily bad, but be sure it’s also a clean facility and pets and chil-dren aren’t accessing it.

Dr. Raina Fumerton, North-ern Health’s northwest medical health officer, said to media that the health authority was prompt-ed to make a tattoo studio safety push resulting from a complaint of a studio operating in the northwest, but did not specify the community.

Safety paramount for tattoo business

A continued effort to sup-port local Kitimat businesses will lead to a Business Walk set to take place today.

The plan for the walk was announced during the launch of Love Kitimat, a program to highlight local, non-franchise businesses in Kitimat.

Kitimat’s Economic Devel-opment Director Rose Klukas says a group of volunteers have been put together to reach all of

the town’s businesses November 4. The goal is to take in informa-tion about local businesses, such as their accomplishments, ob-stacles and what help they may need to improve.

“We have assembled a group of representatives from the District of Kitimat, Advisory Planning Commission and Kiti-mat Chamber of Commerce that will be out from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m., popping in for a few min-

utes to get a pulse on what it’s like doing business here,” said Klukas in a District of Kitimat press release. “This has been a successful program elsewhere and we are excited about having it here.”

Business Walks, the Eco-nomic Development Office says, were conceived in Sacramento, and in B.C. they launched May 2012 by the Central Okanagan Regional District.

“I’m concerned too because this is my

SubmittedSmoothies, games

and yoga made Necha-ko’s Wellness Wel-come, September 30, an outstanding suc-cess.

“We had fantas-tic attendance. Some teachers said that 100 per cent of families in their classes came,” Nechako principal Da-vid Mills said.

The event was held on Meet the Teacher Night and aimed to increase parent partici-pation while informing students and parents about many aspects of emotional and physical health in a fun, interac-tive way.

Community mem-bers like the Child Development Centre,

the Tamitik Status of Women, dentist Emily Feldhoff, the Ministry for Children and Fam-ily Development and others set up informa-tion tables or organized games and prizes.

“We have been fo-cusing on increasing parent participation in our school,” district counsellor, Kathleen Cherry, said. “Meet the Teacher night can sometimes have a low turn-out so we thought that by involving other community agencies, serving smoothies and having games and prizes we would attract the attendance of more families. We wanted the event to be a fun and healthy introduc-tion to the school year.”

This was funded by an Imagine grant obtained by Kick It Up Kitimat through Northern Health.

Kick it Up Kiti-mat is a multi agency group that promotes health and wellness in the community and the Nechako organizing committee is grateful for this support.

Cherry also ex-plains that the commit-tee hoped to provide an opportunity for families to learn about the resources available in Kitimat to support emotional and physical wellness.

“It was a way to connect a face to a name. I think people are more likely to seek this support if they

have had some interac-tion with the agency or service provider.”

“It was a great success and we got a lot of positive feed-back,” school librar-ian Michele Fraters said. She organized a book swap, and made, with the help of other dedicated staff mem-bers, hundreds of mini-smoothies.

In addition to Frat-er and Cherry, Necha-ko staff members Cori Boguski, Meghan Marshall and Lis Stan-nus with LINK worker Candace Seaby, also worked to promote and organize the event. Yoga instruction was provided by Jamie Corpuz, teacher of the deaf and hard of hear-

ing and Terrace yoga instructor.

In addition to yoga, smoothies and a book swap, bingo, an obstacle course, play

dough, First Nations crafts, a Feeling Wheel game and Veggie Toss also formed part of the evening.

A variety of prizes

were on hand, includ-ing an electric tooth-brush, donated by Feldhoff, a food box and recreation passes.

Coming Events

Trick or treat at the mallThat fearsome cat at left is Arlene Amos, with Karsyn Amos at right as the lovable witch. City Centre Mall hosted trick or treaters, from scary to adorable, on October 30, leading into Halloween weekend.

Cameron Orr

The province’s an-nual LNG conference had nearly all of Kiti-mat’s council in atten-dance and Mayor Phil Germuth says Kiti-mat is still at the fore-front of the industry’s minds.

The International LNG in BC confer-ence is hosted by the provincial government and was held in Van-couver from October 14 to 16.

Germuth says he hears from industry that they’re still look-ing to make their in-dustries cost effective, a process that is being done jointly with the province itself, but the outlook for an industry in Kitimat still seems good, he says.

“Things are mov-ing forward,” said Ger-muth.

Asked what his personal feeling is, he says the ongoing work done by LNG Canada gives him cause for op-timism from their proj-ect at least.

“When you look at the amount of com-mitments they’ve done even just within Kitimat...They’re still moving forward all the time so that’s very positive to see.”

He was referring to a number of housing agreements the Shell-led project has com-mitted to, including Haisla Town Centre, the Civeo lodge, and the site of the former Alexander townhous-es.

Germuth knows nothing is a done deal though. He listened closely to remarks by Shell’s executive vice president of integrated gas Maarten Wetselaar who provided a tem-pered optimism.

“He was there too

and he said ‘hey, things look okay,’ but of course they still don’t have guarantees.”

Germuth knows the decisions are ulti-mately business ones

but remains hopeful for a start up in Kitimat.

“Hopefully the project here in Kiti-mat will be one of those [that make it] and we’re still positive that

they will have that final investment decision next year,” he said.

As for any word if the municipality itself needs to do anything more, he said that’s not

something he’s heard.“Nobody has said

that there’s something that we’re lacking here,” he said. “And we’re fully supporting the industry and doing

everything we can to help them along.”

The council is continuing to press proponents, particu-larly the ones behind the proposed Douglas
