Nechako kids dip toes in world of entrepreneurship Cameron Orr The supply and demand lesson was very real for 90 Nechako elementary students last week. Three classes, composed of grades 5 and 6, participated in a program from Envision Financial called Power Play Young Entrepreneurs. Through the program, which ran six weeks, students learned about financial literacy and entrepreneurship by learning how to plan a business. From a business plan, the students then made products and sold them at a trade fair held at their school last Tuesday and Wednesday. The experience was invaluable to the students, who pitched products from decked out duo-tangs to bird houses. Trey Allen was one of the would-be captains of industry, who prepared lavendar bath salts for sale. The products were made at home with the help of his parents, and Allen said they proved more challenging to make than they expected. And more expensive. For 40 bags they had to spend $70, he said. The individual packages he sold cost $6. It was certainly a humbling lesson in the world of manufacturing and retail. But the experience did inspire him to consider business ownership in his own future, but he said he’ll definitely not be in the bath salt business. (A shame, because his business name, Trey Bien, was nothing short of genius.) Just across the way from the bath salt table was an assortment of handmade snow globes, being marketed by Malachai Slanina. Like Allen, he found benefit from working together with his family to bring the snow globe idea to fruition. At $3 a globe, made from glass jars, he found the product took a bit more time to make than he anticipated, even with an assembly line family by his side. But it wasn’t too challenging a hurdle to overcome. “I think I could do it,” said Slanina about being in the self-employment gig, even if that’s not where his passion lies. He said he has more interest in being a paleontologist and letting others worry about product creation. This is the first year the program has run in Kitimat, and Nechako was the only participating school this year. As sponsors, Envision staff spent time in the classrooms teaching students the fundamentals of business planning. With hardly enough leg room to even step to the next student businessperson’s table, it was clearly a successful event that got the entrepreneurial spirit going.

Emotion underlines escort meeting
Cameron Orr Around 70 people took up chairs in the Riverlodge to hear first hand from the District of Kitimat what is happening so far regarding a potential business licence application for an escort service. An inquiry has been made but not official application has been made to the District. Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Warren Waycheshen and the District’s business licence inspector Lyle McNish got the ball rolling explaining the limitations of the local government when it comes to these sorts of businesses. As previously reported, an escort service is considered a lawful business in the eyes of the Canadian Criminal Code, which binds the town’s hands on whether to allow the business or not. They can’t unreasonably refuse a business licence, and since the business is legal, they won’t have a leg to stand on if they deny the application and it gets challenged in the courts. In their efforts to apply “reasonable restrictions” to the potential business, the District staff is considering bylaws to deal with escorts. Those restrictions include keeping a registry of any escort service contractors, and limiting the hours of business to not allow business between 4 a.m. and 5 p.m. McNish said those hours would dissuade the business operating during daytime hours. Also, the town suggests for the future bylaw that the escort agency and escorts themselves have their own licences. Annual fees suggested for the agency is $1,000 and the escorts themselves would need to pay a $250 fee for their licence.
While the town likely couldn’t ask for things such as medical tests for escorts, as that would be considered invasive, they may be able to direct escorts to operate in a “safe manner”, which would give the town leverage investigating any potential complaints about the business. McNish did note that the propsective escort operator for Kitimat is doing so “above board”, while pointing out that there are at least two escort services which already advertise as servicing Kitimat, despite no business licence having been granted for either. One speaker, Jim Johnstone, said from his experience dealing with all corners of society that an escort service “legalize the abuse to women, and legalize gender discrimination.” Tracey Hittel, who operates a lodge in Kitimat, said that he’s heard from hotel operators in Terrace that escort businesses cause a huge drain on hotels in clean-up and other issues. “What she [a hotel owner] told me was that escorts were using hotels as a toilet,” he said. “All the escorts were known to police.” Haisla member Dolores Pollard also gave an emotional argument against the proposed business, suggesting the business would enable the growth of the local drug trade. “We can’t use our blinders,” she said of local drug trafficking. She said that increasing rental prices may push people with no options into the escort business. “Yes we’re becoming a big, booming town,” she said. “But we don’t want to be known like this.”

She’s concerned that there will be nothing left over as a legacy for the town once the PTI proposal is packed up at the end of the construction cycles. In her letter she encouraged the council to demand the PTI Group to build houses, townhomes and apartments, which would mean the investment would remain in Kitimat once everything had finished. She concluded by saying the council should not allow companies that would not leave lasting benefits to the community.

Caulking
Not all onboard with PTI lodge in Kitimat The second PTI Lodge open house saw mostly people curious about the proposal, and at least one who wished them well on their pursuits. But one person, Susan Jiang of the Kitimat Hotel, was not entirely sold on the concept. Jiang expressed her concerns through a letter to the Mayor and Council, and made available in their Information Package. She said she was shocked to learn about the proposal for a 2,100 bed work lodge, and had wondered how such a thing would be allowed — essentially building a new Kitimat inside the old. She said that workers living in town and filling up the apartment

Developers of the camp say they are aware that the site is currently only serviced for 300 beds, but staff had recommended that phase 2 also be approved by council at their March 4 meeting to “proceed with permit approval for Phase 2 upon the applicant providing satisfactory documentation without requiring further considering of Council,” says staff’s report. Phase 2 would bring another 300 beds into service. The staff report also notes that a water supply over what’s available hasn’t been confirmed but trucking in water from the municipal water system may be put in place initially.

A temporary building permit has been granted by Kitimat Council that will allow the construction of phases 1A, 1B and phase 2 of Camp One of the Kitimat LNG project. The camp will in part help service the workers already doing preliminary work regarding the LNG proposal, headed by Chevron Canada and Apache Canada. A final investment decision has yet to be made for the project. The camp is set to be built on the former site of the Eurocan Pulp and Paper Mill, and the entire Camp One will allow for 600 beds, in a single-storey 44-bed building. It will be similar in style to the Rio Tinto Alcan work camp. The first phase of the camp will mean 155 beds (phase 1A) and 145 (1B).

Mayor frowns on camp mailer Cameron Orr Mayor Joanne Monaghan had strong words for the anonymous writers of a mailer delivered to Kitimatian’s mailboxes a few weeks ago. “A number of households in Kitimat received a flyer concerning the PTI Lodge,” said Monaghan at a council meeting. “I want to emphasize that although the mayor and individual council members’ names and phone numbers were in-
cluded, this was not, I repeat not, a District document.” Monaghan showed distaste for an anonymous document to be sent to area households. “We did not have anything to do with its contents,” she said. “It saddened me greatly that those responsible for this mail-out would not sign their names. I would suggest that in the future if you want to send out information, please be brave enough to sign your name.”

The public weighs in on an escort proposal I’m vain enough to just assume that one of the talking points of last Friday’s meeting on escort services and related policy related to one of my very fine points. (If I do say so myself.) I had earlier in this space argued for the creation of bylaws which would force “adult oriented businesses” to have a physical establishment in town, namely office space that the District could then monitor through zoning. I felt that it was a reasonable way to impose restrictions on an escort business while also not crossing the line of “unreasonable restrictions” which is something the administration is currently trying to get a handle on. And, I might add before I continue, I think the town’s been doing a great job being so open on this issue, allowing so much public feedback on an issue they, for the most part, have little control over, despite it being such a hot topic. But back to my own brilliant idea, turns out my plan actually would be “unreasonable”, according to staff who headed up the meeting. Because they don’t have policies forcing other businesses to physically be in town, they can’t really do that to an escort business. It makes sense, and was a counterpoint that had been going through my head when the idea first came to me. Oh well. Otherwise, it was a good meeting, very calm if also emotional. Balancing the community interest will be a tough one for staff, especially as they have nothing in their arsenal to actually stop such an operation opening. Even District staff member Lyle McNish noted that if you look around (which unfortunately for him has been his job since this issue came up) you can find other escort agencies that advertise as having services in this town. What it all comes down to is the town just needs to get something on paper on how to handle the issue. The town isn’t really legitimizing such businesses — the criminal code already does that — they just have to manage the risks. As much as so many are against the whole idea, we’re powerless to turn it away. - Cameron Orr
Not snubbing the Coy
I felt it was important to add this little note here that even though the Coy Cup winner will have been clear over the weekend, the schedule of our deadlines means it would have been very challenging to include the full coverage of the tournament for this week’s paper. So photos and the full results will come in the week following in print. Of course you can check our website to see how it went down before then.

seas countries (all no doubt for worthy causes), many of which do not seem to be demonstrably well spent. Over a billion Canadian dollars, for example, have been dispensed in Haiti alone in the past six years, much of it directed to aid following the massive earthquake in 2010. It’s hard to tell whether Canadian money has been spent responsibly – the whole world weighed in with an estimated $10 billion for immediate help with this disaster — but three years later news coverage show thousands and thousand of people are still living in the tents that were set up after the quake. That’s not to say that disorganization, dysfunctional government that itself had to be re-established, presented some almost insurmountable obstacles. It’s not to say no progress has been made. But I certainly think Canada’s best approach to Haiti and other such impoverished countries should focus on food aid. The earthquake wasn’t the most recent tragedy there, Hurricane Sandy was, and followed numerous other hurricanes and tropical storms that continually damage rebuilt construction and worsens shack and tent community living on that benighted island.

Reader concerned about emissions Waiting is the Dear Sir, This is a letter I would rather not be writing. I attended a community meeting on March 4 sponsored by Rio Tinto where they attempted to explain why they thought the new Kitimat smelter should be allowed to produce 17 more tons of sulphur dioxide every day than the old smelter presently does, 42 tons vs. 27 tons. (Sulphur dioxide is what causes acid rain which kills trees and the life in lakes if it goes on long enough in high enough concentrations.) The life expectancy of the smelter is 55 years. The apologist for Rio Tinto, Mr. Morin, put forward the argument that the new smelter would pollute far less amounts of three dangerous and undesirable pollutants. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emissions will be reduced by 98 per cent, gaseous fluoride emissions by 72 per cent and greenhouse gases by 36 per cent. He called the first two really nasty. The upside of this for the company is that they are now able to use new technology that allows them to reduce their costs by reprocessing the elements that polluted in the past. He seemed to feel that we should be so happy with that, we wouldn’t mind the company’s plan to produce more sulphur dioxide as it prepares to double its production. The purpose of the meeting was to do the community consultation required to get the permit to do just that.
Understandably, Mr. Morin did not spend any time addressing the question of why the company was permitted to be such a major polluter for so long. Nor did he touch on what they could have done over the years to reduce that pollution instead of waiting for a complete rebuild of the smelter. That would have been of high interest to a community that has suffered a very high number of cancers and respiratory ailments during that time. Interestingly, a Globe and Mail story the next day described how Suncor Energy and Syncrude Canada are being taken to task for very similar emissions in the Tar Sands. The argument for why Rio Tinto should be allowed to now produce more sulphur dioxide pollutants is that the company predicts these emissions to have little effect on the Kitimat/Terrace valley where most of the fallout will occur. A few small, unused lakes will become more acidic but not Lakelse Lake. It did not seem to occur to Rio Tinto that they could use the saving from reducing other pollutants to reduce the amount of sulphur dioxide pollution. Scrubbers are available but Mr. Morin seemed to infer that they are used for heavy industrial polluters. I guess 42 tons a day isn’t heavy enough for Mr. Morin. Besides, it presents him and his company with the problem of what to do with the collected

pollutant. Storage under the sea? Storage in a land-fill? Better to build a high stack and disperse it into the air so that its disposal would be diluted, even if over a larger area. In addition to the tonnage of pollutants involved, there are several equally large issues here. What gives a large corporation the right to pollute the community landscape? When do jobs become bribes? What protection should we be able to expect from our governments? What constitutes an acceptable public consultation? For something that will have such a major effect, Rio Tinto Rather, we have been treated to a propaganda exercise designed solely to allow the corporation to say it consulted the affected communities. No one would say that the Kitimat smelter should not be rebuilt. But Rio Tinto should hold the public consultations on its projected sulphur dioxide emissions again. This time they should do it right; involve all levels of government, give the communities sufficient notice, make their research widely available and be prepared to take responsibility for the pollution they produce. With their enormous profits from the sale of the electricity they are not using in the production of aluminum, they can well afford it. Rio Tinto does not have a social license to pollute.

hardest part
Dear Sir, The waiting period for blood tests in our hospital has become unacceptable. It used to take half an hour which I thought was normal. Then it crept up to one hour which was somewhat irritating and now I was waiting two hours which is not what I call good service. Just because our MSP charges have increased does not mean the services must decrease. If we must save more money I suggest that the person responsible for the declining service be put on a periodic blood test schedule and have his salary reduced because of his unproductive waiting period. Remember us octogenarians do not like to sit there waiting for God, we sit there until our name is called. Rolf Leibac

Get on track for the 14th Relay for Life Cameron Orr In just over two months Kitimat will start it’s 14th annual Relay for Life event. At just about a decade and a half running in Kitimat — and 75 years running for the Canadian Cancer Society — this year’s event will combine aspects of the old and new to create a good time at the track at Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School. This year also marks the first for the Kitimat Relay’s new leadership Chair, Ariel Winkelmeyer. Winkelmeyer, who moved to Kitimat just last year in January, responded to an ad in the Northern Sentinel and found herself heading up this year’s event. “I love getting involved, I love volunteering,” she said. She said the learning curve has been huge but it’s been eased by the support of many. “I think whenever anyone is new to something it’s a challenge but there’s a lot of people who have been on the committee for awhile,” she said. She said this year’s Relay will be a little different from other years in some ways, but she’s not planning an entire re-envisioning of the iconic event. “The event I think is going to be different this year. It’s going to
be a little bit of the old and a little bit of the new coming together,” she said. The Relay crew is looking for an Entertainment and Activities coordinator to help them bring out some new entertainment for the event, and the executive is also looking for more people in general to help our the event. But still being early in the year, they’re mostly been developing corporate sponsorships and getting teams set up. Early bird registration for teams has passed but anyone can still form a team, right until Relay day itself on June 1. When the Sentinel spoke with Ariel there were already 10 teams signed up. As ever year, organizers hope to beat last year’s total, bringing the cancer fundraising even higher. Last year the relay raised $109,785 in Kitimat. “That’s phenomenal considering we had 215 participants last year,” said Ariel. Already fundraising has passed the $17,000 mark, according to the total on the Kitimat page of the Relay for Life website. And although people have a lot of time to start a team, Ariel encourages people to start early so they can do the fun things teams do.
The B.C. Liberal candidate for the upcoming May election took a few moments to introduce herself to Kitimat councillors at last week’s Committee of the Whole meeting. Carol Leclerc, who’ll so far be vying for the MLA position against current NDP incumbent Robin Austin and B.C. Conservative candidate Mike Brousseau, gave a brief overview of her position, including her thoughts on David Black’s proposed oil refinery for the Kitimat Valley. But the opportunities of Kiti-
mat’s and Prince Rupert’s port beyond oil is also important, which she heard at the recent LNG conference in Vancouver. “Prince Rupert and Kitimat. That’s all they talked about,” she said. “I’d like to see these LNG stuff ahead, I think it’s really important to have a diversified economy.” As for Black’s refinery proposal, she said it would be “foolish” not to consider it at this time. She said it’s a great opportunity for Kitimat but it has to be “the right fit.”
Leclerc introduction
Money
Continued from page 4 But money, even in a depressed economy which has been Canada’s status since 2008, appears to be in no shortage supply, including cash for advertising the policies and plans that have us running on the spot, faster and faster. Example: The latest report shows the Harper government spent $21 million on a number of major advertising campaigns under its Economic Action Plan in 2011-12. Ottawa sprayed out $78.5 million in the last fiscal year telling Canadians about everything from the switch to digital TV, the War of 1812, and such varied subjects as elder abuse and anti-drug awareness. “The central theme remained the promotion of key initiatives,
programs and benefits available to Canadians through Canada’s Economic Action Plan,” says the introduction to the Public Works report. The Finance Department spent $7.2 million on two major action plan ad campaigns, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada spent just over $7 million on two campaigns and the Canada Revenue Agency spent $6.7 million on a single campaign. Canada’s Economic Action Plan started out with the January 2009 stimulus budget during a global recession, but it has been maintained by the Conservatives as an all-purpose demonstration of Conservative propaganda, using money that, I am certain could have been put to a lot better use for Canadians.
“For me half the fun is getting together with your team and fundraising, and getting those events out,” she said. Anyone looking for information about the Relay for Life can contact the local group at kitimatrelay@bc.cancer.ca.
People can also go online to register or to donate. Just go to relaybc.ca/kitimat2013. But act soon, June 1 might be closer than it appears. But then again, relayers know all about distance.

Mounting bills has a family looking for a little boost Cameron Orr Chloe Harwood didn’t wait for formalities before calling her guest over to see her pet hamster. The chubby little animal was resting at the top of a long, vertical tunnel, and Chloe was clearly very amused by her pet, even remarking it should spend more time in its wheel. Chloe didn’t really care about the conversation that was going on when she first entered the room, either a story she’s heard before, or just maybe, because she’s eightyears-old and there are more important things to deal with. The conversation she walked in on was her mom, Kita, explaining Chloe’s medical condition, cerebral palsy (CP). A condition that covers a wide spectrum of extremes, Chloe’s own issue is, in a very general sense, that her muscles are kept way too tight. That leads to complications, namely she can’t stand up on her own weight. Things started off rough for Chloe, even before CP was diagnosed. She was born after only 29 weeks in a hospital in China where they lived at the time before eventually coming to Canada and Kitimat, and Chloe was just barely three pounds. “Our turkey was bigger,” Kita jokes now, although the situation at the time was of course far more frightening for her and her husband. Her problems from birth included difficulty breathing and jaundice. “It was a very hard two month period,” said Kita. Things improved, but they sent Chloe in for an MRI scan at 13
months when she was still unable to sit up on her own. That’s why they discovered she had CP. Kita said her initial thought was worry that her daughter would be cursed with unnatural postures and gestures. “Now we know much more,” she said. “It has so many scales.” Chloe is probably around the third or fourth level on the scale, said Kita. An informational brochure online, developed by the Hugh Williamson Gait Laboratory a the Royal Children’s Hospital in Australia, says that level four means using a cane, while level three is needing to use crutches. The Harwoods have, for the most part, tried to avoid surgeries as treatments, mostly from a fear that complications from surgeries are very hard to reverse. Instead they’ve opted primarily for physiotherapies and some other natural treatments, which have been hit-ormiss on their effectiveness. Last August, however, they did go ahead with one surgery, called Selective Dorsal Rhyzotomy, in St. Louis. The surgery was successful in loosening up Chloe’s legs. But the doctor said that in the first two years recovery will be fast, which means Chloe should get into therapies and treatments very quickly. Which is why Kita took to the newspaper for support. The Harwoods are not Canadian citizens and efforts to become permanent residents have failed. Kita said it’s because of Chloe’s health condition. That makes health coverage challenging. Even health insurance

That surgery from last August wasn’t successfully claimed, leaving the Harwoods with a huge bill. But if time wasn’t important, they’d just wait until their savings caught up with their needs. But being in the two-year window from Chloe’s surgery, the Harwoods want Chloe moving forward. There’s a special therapy being offered in Toronto in April that Chloe can join. It’s called Cuevas Medek Exercise Therapy at a place called the Blue Balloon. It’s pricey, at $150 an hour, but they have in the past managed to get Chloe into the program and it was very effective. With bills mounting up, the Harwoods are stuck trying to get Chloe needed therapies while faced with the task of paying for it all in such a
short time. They have opened a page on a website called You Caring, which lets people fundraise for various causes. People can donate through Chloe’s page. People can go to the website www.youcaring. com and enter “Chloe” into the search field. Hers is the “Chloe’s journey towards independence” page. Kita makes sure to say that it’s not a matter of income that’s their issue. “We’re not really, really poor,” she said. “Time is so pressing. We haven’t finished paying the last bill yet.” As of last week the page had raised just over $2,000 of the $9,000 goal, to cover transportation, accommodation and the therapy itself. The fundraising on the website ends on April 19.

Councillors voted in favour of the request sent in by event organizers, with the Hill Climb scheduled for the June 29 and 30th weekend. The 30th is reserved as a rain-out day. Even co-ordinator Harley Bell said that last year’s event was another success for organizers,
with even their dance selling out of tickets. Last year saw 2,000 people come out as spectators to see 60 racers from the region. This year 2,500 spectators are anticipated for the event on Haisla Hill. One-third are expected from out of town. New District sponsorship rules and eligibility means their grant goes up.

Pipeline promises vague An area man with expertise in responding to environmental incidents says that the District of Kitimat needs to hold a tabletop exercise with Enbridge. Manny Aruda spoke to councillors at the March 11 Committee of the Whole meeting, responding to the Northern Gateway proposal’s Kitimat River Drainage Area Emergency Preparedness report. He said the company has put forward a lot of vague comments about “adapting” to situations in the Kitimat area but he’s found little as far as concrete details on how the company would respond to an oil spill in the Kitimat river. And not to mention the environmental effects, he said contaminated water in Kitimat would affect the town’s drinking water and intakes for places like the hatchery or the former Methanex site which may in the future be an LNG facility. “They’ve...said that Kitimat is a high consequence area, and rightfully so,” said Arruda. Arruda has worked the control room for Methanex when it operated here, was a first responder with the company, and is now a team leader at Rio Tinto Alcan. He’s also a team leader for the Kitimat Search and Rescue. “There’s obviously a lot at stake,” he said, which is why he sees benefit in the tabletop scenario. That scenario – which he has offered to help set up – would give the company a list of questions on how they would, specifically, deal with a variety of situations that would come from a spill. He said the company has referred to a three hour window to respond to spills but Arruda doesn’t think that’s a likely scenario. “You can’t just make a statement without
backing it up,” he said. “I’m curious to see how they would adapt at night.” He also said that he “[feels] that it’s irresponsible to say that could be done within a three hour window.” By escaping the committments of a threehour response the town can better understand best and worst case scenarios. “I think we have a pretty good understanding what the worst case is, that’s what they dealt with in Kalamazoo,” he noted. A notable issue for this area he said is the constant movement of water, from stream to rivers to the ocean. It’s much different geography than Alberta, he said, where oil won’t just sit where it spills. The document on responding to spills in the Kitimat River is available on Enbridge Northern Gateway’s Joint Review Panel website under the public registry. The report notes a number of ways that Northern Gateway will respond to incidents, including in the winter time and at the Kitimat River estuary. The company notes in their report that “Given the segments of the Kitimat River drainage area are areas of high consequence... pipeline inspection procedures along such segments will exceed standard Enbridge integrity management processes.” Measures may include “high-resolution internal inspection tools...ultrasonic crack detection...ultrasonic corrosion detection, and ultrasonic magnetic flux leakage.” The company in their report also say that will consider technology that can be uses in waterways themselves to detect in-water oil. That may be considered in particular in the upper Kitimat River drainage area because they say access to the river is more limited.
“You can’t just make a statement without backing it up.”
FORECAST: BC’s natural gas industry could employ over 40,000 workers . Good for BC. And better energy for people the world over. *
Today, safe, cleaner-burning natural gas is fuelling the BC economy, powering homes and businesses and providing new export opportunities. Forecasts say the natural gas industry could provide the BC government with more than $160 billion in royalties and taxes over the next 25 years - and could directly employ over 40,000 people in BC alone by 2035*. Now that’s energy. ™

Rental market a tough one for local resident Cameron Orr The housing question looms big over Jim Leppard. A 34-year-long resident of Kitimat and long-time renter is facing a unique issue in Kitimat’s history, that of drastic increases to rental costs. The apartment building he lives in is set for renovations, which means he and others will eventually have to go. Under the Residential Tenancy Act, landlords may give tenants two months notice but they have to give the tenant one month’s worth of rent, or the tenant can withhold the last month’s rent. Leppard’s search for alternate housing highlighted the challenges the community is facing. He said he found a furnished two bedroom apartment for $1,400 a month, any entirely ridiculous notion to him. His own rent is $464 right now, but that will be short lived. Since embarking on a quest for new housing he did find a one bedroom unit, for $700. “I can do it,� he said. “But a lot of people can’t.� He said he knows a man on income assistance who is forced to take on a roommate because rent increases meant he’d have next to

Jim Leppard. nothing left over after the rent for things like food. The problem isn’t even limited to people in apartments going through renovations. He said he can understand to an extent rising rents where renovations have taken place, but the situation is the same in places work hasn’t been done. Even with that, though, the Tenancy Act can allow rent increases over the allowed maximum. Landlords can petition for a thing called an RTB order, which, among other things, can allow rent increases where the landlord “can demonstrate the rent for a rental unit is significantly lower than that of similar rental units in the area.�

Kitimat hotel seeks to build an outdoor patio Cameron Orr The first application has come in for the District of Kitimat’s new patio policy. The patio policy was only just recently passed, on February 25, when the request came in from Susan Jiang of the
Kitimat Hotel. Jiang wants to install a patio on the municipal sidewalk that abuts 506 Enterprise Avenue. The patio will be for outside dining. It would also allow for a licensed patio for pub visitors. The adoption by
council means this application will now to to a public notice for the granting of a license of occupation for the outdoor patio. District staff also recommend that snow clearing and sanding to be a responsibility of the licensee.

Onboard Arno Kopecky and Ilja Herb’s sailboat during their travels up to the north coast area. Submitted
Setting sail for Kitimat Cameron Orr Armed with a sailboat, a camera, and a notepad, two young men embarked on a journey along B.C.’s coast. The journey, conducted by Arno Kopecky and Ilja Herb, took place in the summer of 2012, almost a year ago, and they’re purpose was to solidify a position on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Pipeline. Their experiences are recorded on their website oilmainandthesea.com, and were written as a major feature in a recent Readers Digest magazine. Arno called it an opportunity to see our area first hand, as opinions on the proposed oil pipeline heated up. Yet he doesn’t deny that they already had an idea of where they stood on the whole thing. “I’d be lying saying we didn’t go in there with bit of an
opinion already,” he said. “It seems like a bit of a bad idea.” That said their adventure on the sail boat, which took them through the Douglas Channel, and through various side inlets, showed them a lot of amazing scenery. “It was kind of a Canadian safari,” he said. While the area shares similar geography to the south coast, he remarked at how remote it is here in comparison. However it was not so remote that when the pair stopped at the Europa Hot Springs, which is a ways towards Kemano, they ran into another group of people out on their own aquatic adventure. The people turned out to be retired industry workers from Alberta, and the conversation turned into one of Arno’s highlights from the summer. The friendly conversation pitted Arno and Ilja against the
retirees, who were in support of the pipeline development. Working in mines, for instance, worked out well for them in their lives and they never had problems. For Arno it highlighted generational differences. “It highlighted for me what worked for previous generations isn’t necessarily going to work for this generation,” he said. But the pipeline, he admitted, is just a symptom of larger issues of energy in Canada. “No country in the world has achieved any kind of development without access to energy. And that energy is quickly coming to a halt,” he said. What they’re saying is not close down the oil sands, but rather use the energy from it to somehow transition to new forms of energy, whatever that might be.

Marlins reach for the top in Victoria Submitted The Kitimat Marlins had four swimmers in Victoria recently competing at the AAA Provincial Short Course (25 meter pool) swimming championships. The AAA Championships is the highest Provincial age group swimming competition with 650 of the best BC swimmers aged 11-18 in attendance. The Marlins swimmers had some excellent swims with all four swimmers placing at or near the top of their respective age categories. Alivia Salema (12) had an incredible swim in the 12-year-old girls distance swim the 800 meter freestyle. Her entry time was ranked sixth going in but with a 25 second
improvement she came out an AAA provincial champ taking the gold medal in the event. Salema also took the bronze medal in the 200 and 400 meter freestyle and placed fifth in the 400 Individual Medley. Her times in the 400 freestyle, 800 freestyle and 400 Im made the tough age group national qualifying time for the 12 year old girl category. Salema swam 100 per cent personal best times in all five of her races. Brander Pacheco (14) achieved his first age group national qualifying time in the 14 year old boy’s 200 meter butterfly. His time placed him sixth in the final of the event for 14 year old boys. Pacheco also placed eighth in
The Marlins had some great swimmers in Victoria recently for the AAA Provincial Short Course championships. Alivia Salema, Brander Pacheco, Kleanza Cathers and Kyler Cordeiro represented the club in the provincial capital. Submitted the 100 meter butterfly and swam to 100 per cent personal best times in all five of his events. Kleanza Cathers (13) competing in the girls 13-year-old girl category also place in the top 10 in the province with a ninth place finish in the 400 meter freestyle.
Kyler Cordeiro (17) competed in the toughest division, the boys 16-18 age group. With many first year university swimmers competing in the division Cordeiro had his best result in the boys distance event, the 1,500 meter freestyle placing 17th overall in the event.
Terrace midget hockey team denied their appeal Anna Killen Hockey Canada’s decision is in, and it wasn’t the one the Terrace Midget Reps were hoping for. As Smithers and Kitimat replayed the finals here on March 7, the Terrace team was trying to overturn a ruling that had dashed their hopes for provincials. The Terrace team wanted Hockey Canada to overturn the ruling that rendered their provincial hopes over – or at least allow them into another tournament, like the Tier 2 tournament in West Kelowna that began March 17. Smithers appealed to BC Hockey on the basis that Terrace should have forfeited a round robin game against Kitimat after a suspended player took to the ice. “While the NAC is sympathetic to the Terrace team, it is satisfied that BC Hockey applied the Regulation correctly and, as such, the NAC sees no
basis for overturning the Branch decision,” he says in the letter, while also noting that Hockey Canada does not have the jurisdiction to allow Terrace to enter into another tournament. Smithers went on to replay the final game against Kitimat, which Smithers won 4-2. Smithers is currently at the provincial championships in Port Alberni that began March 17. The committee accepted the position taken by BC Hockey in its appeal decision that the NWDMHA (North West District Minor Hockey Association) regulation stating “If a team is found to have played an ineligible player the game is forfeited and the coach may be subject to further discipline by BC Hockey” is unequivocal, the letter states, nothing that the regulation does not provide any flexibility in its interpretation or application.
Kitimat’s Kurt Havery took two firsts at the Cold Smoke drag races in Burns Lake early in February, first in ‘600 modified’ and first in ‘700 modified’. Walter Strong, Lakes District News
