Kitselas support large coastal LNG projectTERRACE - A major energy company may be delaying its de-cision on whether or not to spend billions on a liquefied natural gas plant near Port Edward but that hasn’t stopped it from wrapping up business arrangements with local governments and First Na-tions.

The Kitselas First Nation and Pacific NorthWest LNG on Dec. 22 announced an impact man-agement benefits agreement term sheet has been signed.

It’s been described as an “in-tegral step toward concluding negotiations and finalizing an agreement between the two par-ties.”

“Our agreement with Pacific NorthWest LNG addresses the environmental and social safe-

guards we require in negotia-tions, as well as the delivery of economic, employment and edu-cational benefits for our commu-nity,” said Kitselas Chief Coun-cillor Joe Bevan.

“These core components mean substantial benefits for our community – now and in years to come.”

Pacific NorthWest LNG con-cluded negotiations for a term sheet with the Metlakatla First Nation two weeks ago and has also reached a taxation agree-ment with Port Edward.

Pacific NorthWest official Krissy Van Loon anticipated the company signing up to six ben-efits agreements with First Na-tions who have interests in and around Lelu Island where the

company wants to build its LNG plant.

“The Kitselas First Nation was identified as one of the First Nations with traditional fishing access in the Skeena River and near the Skeena estuary and it’s one of the groups we are working closely with,” she said.

There will be annual pay-ments made to the Kitselas, Van Loon added, as well as a payment upon signing the term sheet.

The Kitselas have also agreed to provide a letter of support for the project which has drawn worries from environmental and other groups because of poten-tial impacts on Skeena River fish populations.

Pacific NorthWest LNG, which is majority-owned by

Petronas, the Malaysian state-owned energy giant, wants to build a LNG plant of two parts, each able to produce six million tonnes per annum of the super-cooled product.

A third part, also to produce six million tonnes per year, could also be built.

A final investment decision had been expected by now but the company in early December 2014 said that decision was on hold.

Company officials were gen-erally happy with taxation ar-rangements worked out with the provincial government but cited declining energy prices and con-struction costs as reasons to de-lay its decision until a future date is set.

Apache sells Kitimat LNG portionBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Apache Corporation, which had been seeking an exit from the Kitimat LNG as well as Wheatstone LNG in Australia, is get-ting their wish with a confirmed deal between them and Woodside Pe-troleum.

Woodside has agreed to buy the proj-ects for $2.75 billion.

Woodside will also pick up the tab for spending on the proj-ects for between June 30 2014 and the clos-ing date, which was not specified. Apache does say it is expected in the first quarter of 2015, and is subject to govern-ment and regulatory ap-provals. The estimate for those costs is $1 billion.

Apache’s share of the Kitimat LNG project is 50 per cent.

“Today’s announce-ment marks the success-ful completion of one of our primary strate-gic goals of exiting the Wheatstone and Kiti-mat LNG projects,” said Apache Chairman and CEO G. Steven Far-ris in a news release. I am proud of Apache’s

legacy in advancing the Wheatstone and Kiti-mat LNG projects, and I am confident that Wood-side’s participation will have a positive impact in seeing these world-class LNG facilities through to first production.”

The sale of the stake in the Kitimat LNG project, the company adds, is subject to “cer-tain operator consents.”

Apache indicated back in July they want-ed to secure an exit from their stake in the compa-nies.

Kitimat LNG has all of its required per-mits and licences but has been undergoing a lengthy front-end engi-neering and design study which would finalize a price tag and move the company towards mak-ing a final investment decision.

Media reports over the summer indicat-ed Apache was under pressure by investors to leave Kitimat LNG.

Financial reports for the company in July showed Apache had spent $339 million on Kitimat LNG so far in the year, $183 million in the first quarter and $155 million in the sec-

ond.Between Kitimat

LNG and Wheatstone the company has spent $894 million up to that point in the year.

Apache was a very early entrant to the pro-vincial LNG possibility

through its ownership stake in Kitimat LNG and in the natural gas pipeline that would feed it, Pacific Trails Pipe-line.

Earlier partners EOG and Encana have already been bought out.

Recreation user fees increasing by 10 per cent in RupertBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - People making use of the City of Prince Rupert’s recreation facilities can expect to pay a little more in the near future.

At its Dec. 15 meeting, city council gave first three read-ings to a bylaw that would im-plement a 10 per cent across the board increase to user fees at the Earl Mah Aquatic Centre, the

Jim Ciccone Civic Centre and the arena. It was a recommen-dation that came from the rec-reation commission and largely found support from council.

“This is an overdue adjust-ment to account for inflation, since it was last adjusted four years ago ... it will help us fun-damentally improve the level of service,” said Coun. Blair Mi-rau.

“If you look at the fee struc-ture relative to Terrace or Kiti-

mat, we are about 40 per cent lower ... if you look at the rate of inflation, I don’t think we’re keeping up with that. The infra-structure is suffering, we have just been doing band-aid repairs

to things to the point where it is becoming a serious problem,” said Coun. Barry Cunningham.

“We need to increase these fees in order to pay for it, oth-erwise people won’t have some-thing to use ... it will be closing the door and nobody can use it,” echoed Coun. Wade Niesh.

Although the increase would result in approximately $75,000 in revenue that could be spent on maintenance and improve-ments to the facilities, Coun.

Joy Thorkelson voted in opposi-tion to the fee increase.

“I think the better idea is to increase the number of people that are coming rather than raise the fees,” she said.

“I don’t think people are rich-er and I think the poorer are poorer than they were in 2010.”

As well as increasing the fees, the bylaw establishes a reserve fund for future infrastructure needs created using five per cent of recreation fees collected.

“I don’t think people are richer...”

Watch for wine soon at grocery storesBy Jeff NagelTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VANCOUVER - The prov-ince’s latest liquor reform will make it easier for wine stores to relocate into grocery stores – provided they offer only B.C. wines – but there’s no sign the government is rethinking its change to wholesale wine pric-ing that will sharply drive up the price of more expensive

bottles.The announcement by Jus-

tice Minister Suzanne Anton in Langley at Chaberton Estate Winery is being hailed by B.C. wineries because some super-markets that can begin selling wine come April will be barred from stocking foreign wines.

Under the change, existing VQA and independent wine stores can relocate or transfer

their licence to an eligible gro-cery store as long as 100 per cent B.C. wine is sold. Those licence transfers won’t be lim-ited by a rule that disallows new outlets if there’s an existing one within one kilometre.

Liquor policy reform leader John Yap called it a “winning combination” to allow grocery shoppers to also buy B.C. wine and support the local industry.

“The B.C. wine industry is entering into a new era of wine-making,” added Chaberton co-owner Eugene Kwan.

The new model is differ-ent from the store-within-a-store model in that it allows B.C. wine to be on regular gro-cery store shelves and shoppers would pay for it at designated registers staffed by trained em-ployees who are at least 19.

Yes, time to think about taxesBy Kim InglisTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TORONTO - As one year passes and another unfolds, it’s time to make Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) contributions. They’ve been around since 2009 and yet Canadians still largely misunder-stand them.

The annual BMO TFSA Re-

port says 66 per cent claim to be knowledgeable about TFSAs, but only 22 percent correctly identi-fied the contribution limit and 77 percent are unfamiliar with the over-contribution penalties. That would explain why one-in-ten have inadvertently over-contrib-uted in the past, paying an aver-age $412.50 in penalties.

TFSAs are available to Cana-

dian residents 18 years of age or older, who can save up to $5,500 per year in cash and investments. Unused contribution room can be carried forward indefinitely into future years.

Withdrawals can be made anytime in any amount, without being taxed, and can be fully re-contributed the following calen-dar year as well.

Hotel ground brokenBy Josh MasseyTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Ground has been broken and the framing work begun for the 92-room Comfort Inn Hotel to be located immediately east of Ca-nadian Tire on Hwy16.

According to the agent overseeing the development, Charles Sung Soo Kim, the ini-

tial work on framing the hotel is underway and he foresees construction being completed either by the end of the con-struction season in 2015 or spring 2016

“We have started breaking the ground,” said Kim, who repre-sents the numbered real estate company in-vesting in the project. “Sooner or later we are

starting the foundation and framing work. Our construction has start-ed.” He said that because the hotel is classified as limited service without a restaurant that the hotel probably won’t be part of the star rating system. There will, however, be a continental breakfast offered and the rooms will be about $159 a night, he said.

High FlightOh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirthOf sun-split clouds, - and done a hundred thingsYou have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swungHigh in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,Ive chased the shouting wind along, and fl ungMy eager craft through footless halls of air…Up, up the long, delirious, burning blueI’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy graceWhere never lark nor even eagle fl ew-And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trodThe high untrespassed sanctity of space,Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. -John Gillespie Magee

Cousins playing excellent hockeyBy Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Osoyoos Coyotes are enjoying their stron-gest season in the Koo-tenay International Ju-nior Hockey League (KIJHL - Junior B) since 2010-11 when they were indoctrinated into the league, won 42 of 50 regular season games and captured the Cy-clone Taylor Cup.

This year, they’ve strung together 27 wins in 34 games, sit in � rst in the KIJHL by a six-point margin, and have scored 84 more goals than they’ve allowed.

One of their secrets?Two cousins from

Prince Rupert.Tyler Os-trom, 20, a graduate of the Prince Rupert Mi-nor Hockey Seawolves

program, and a former member of the Prince Rupert Rampage, is en-joying his second and last year as a junior hockey-eligible player with the Coyotes and joining him is his young-er cousin, Judd Repole.

Repole, 17, is also making his presence felt in the KIJHL, hav-ing already doubled his point totals from a year ago, scoring two goals and eight assists for 10 points in just 26 games compared to � ve in 40 in 2013-14.

“That’s what brought them down here is that they’re cousins. They’re pretty close [on and off the ice],” said Coyotes head coach Ken Law. “They roomed to-gether last year and they’re separated this year just because Judd’s

a school-age player so we only have so many [billet] homes that � t school-age players’ [needs],” said Law.

Law found Ostrom when he attended the Coyotes’ annual Spring Prospect Camp in 2013

and invited the teen to join the Coyotes’ main camp. The Rupertite soon found a home de-fending opposing for-wards as a stay-at-home defenceman and has been doing that job ef-fectively ever since.

Marlins swim wellKITIMAT -The Kitimat Marlins hosted the � rst regional swim meet of the season recently with 103 swimmers from Terrace, Smithers, and Prince Rupert. The Marlins had some excellent results with pool re-cords set, new time standards met and many swimmers winning med-als for overall points. With their strong results the Marlins were able to win the meet, over second place Prince Rupert Rapids by a whop-ping 322 points.

Kleanza Cathers (15) in her � rst regional swim meet in the 15 and over girls division broke two pool records in the division. In the 100 IM she posted a time of 1:08.97 which broke the old record of 1:09.27 set by Stephanie Nich-olls from Prince Rupert in 2002. Stephanie Nicholls went on to swim for University of British Colum-bia and break BC and Canadian records. Cathers also broke the 50 backstroke record while leading off the Marlins medley relay. Her time of 32.34 eclipsed the old record of 32.96 set by Laura Woodman of

Prince Rupert from 2004. Cath-ers took the gold medal for overall points in the division.

Brander Pacheco (16) broke two pool records in the 15 and over boys division. Pacheco posted times of 27.41 in the 50 meter but-ter� y and 1:01.01 in the 100 but-ter� y breaking the previous records of 27.75 and 1:02.20 by Brett Zol-len of Smithers from 2012. Zollen is now swimming for University of Victoria and swimming extremely fast! Pacheco took the silver medal for overall points in the division.

Alivia Soares (14) became the fourth Kitimat Marlin to achieve the tough Western National quali-fying time in the 1500 meter free-style. She is now welcome to at-tend Western Nationals in February in Edmonton. Soares took the sil-ver medal for overall points in the divison.

Achieving his � rst AAA Pro-vincial qualifying time was Hayden Dobbin (15). Dobbin achieved the time in the 14-15 year old 1500 me-ter freestyle.

City holds off on raising the fee for Digby Island FerryBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Rupert city council is holding off on a rec-ommendation to raise the fees for passengers of the Digby Island Ferry.

Chief financial officer Corinne Bomben said the idea behind raising fares to the airport is related to im-proving the overall passenger experi-ence while taking some of the burden off the taxpayers of Prince Rupert.

“We are looking to increase the ferry fees to compensate for in-creased costs such as fuel and wag-es and at least bring it back to on par with what it was in 2012. This way we are charging the users a little

more for the service and not subsidiz-ing the operation quite as extensive-ly through property taxes as not ev-erybody uses the Digby Island Ferry Service,” she said.

“Additionally we recognize that the service needs some upgrading, new buses and that sort of thing. We did send out a request for proposal (RFP) and in that we requested new buses so we can have a better service for our citizens and for visitors to our community. Obviously we have some constraints, being the ramps at the docks themselves, and therefore we need some buses with a special-ized weight load. The buses includ-ed in the RFP require us to increase the fees by roughly 50 cents per year

each way.” Increasing costs by 50 cents per

passenger each was would bring in an additional $35,000, but council had a number of concerns.

“Buses are contracted out to a con-tractor and I have been told that in the last contract or the one previous to

that there would be a change in buses because of the old Blue Bird school bus and other things. If it is a private contractor, why are we upping the fee to supply buses,” said Coun. Barry Cunningham, with Bomben respond-ing that only one contractor respond-ed to the RFP and the current con-tract expired in 2004.

“What I am concerned about is buying a bus for a private contractor and the contractor uses it not just for the bus service they supply to Digby but also to service they provide for other uses,” said Coun. Joy Thorkel-son.

Coun. Gurvinder Randhawa said his concern had to do with an in-creased fee driving even more people

to using the Terrace-Kitimat Airport.“Already a lot of people fly from

Terrace and if we increase the cost more people will fly from Terrace so we could have less money at the end of the day,” he said.

“We already have a lot of leakage to Terrace and it is mostly families, the business people will use it regard-less,” echoed Cunningham.

In the end, council decided to table the fee increase until it had more in-formation available.

The discussion came just days af-ter a report commissioned by the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce showed the lack of ca-pacity on the ferry could drive indus-try to use the airport in Terrace.

“Already a lot of people fly from Terrace ...”

Coun. Gurvinder Randhawa
