1.30 INCLUDES TAX

Recycling changes coming Cameron Orr Director Ken Maitland with Kitimat Understanding the Environment (KUTE) said there are questions that need to be answered regarding possible changes to recycling processing next year. A shift is taking place in paper and packaging, where instead of taxpayers funding its recycling pick-up, the industries which produced the product will pick up the tab. That will be a service run through the non-profit Multi Material BC(MMBC). An offer from MMBC has been given to local governments who already collect recyclables or garbage from the curb side, said MMBC Chair Allen Langdon. Langdon said the offers are to provide recycling collection for the paper and packaging materials, and whoever gets the contract, whether the local government or a private contractor, will be paid on a perhousehold basis. While it’s a good sounding plan on paper, the practicality of it may prove challenging for

KUTE’s own depot, if that’s where this extra material will go. “The issue for KUTE is once the materials are collected they have to go someplace, and be sorted, handled, packaged and shipped,” said Maitland. Although KUTE would be paid for such processing under the MMBC program, their location doesn’t leave a lot of room to participate. “For the depot, they will be paid a sum for the material processed by weight, tonnage,” he said. “But this program has eight categories, so there’s paper, there’s packaging, there’s grades of cardboard, there’s plastic containers, metal containers, you have to have plastic film being separate, so [there’s] a total of eight of these streams that will come about.” Keeping in mind the volumes KUTE already deals with, it may be impossible. “At this point, they haven’t defined what ... a load looks like, so when KUTE deals with material today, we need to ship single strand material, so I need to ship a truckload of

20 tonnes, 22 tonnes, of cardboard,” explained Maitland. “I have to have the same volume in paper. So because we’re running the cardboard and the paper, you now have to stockpile 20 tonnes each. So now you have to store 40 tonnes of material, plus the truck doesn’t come as soon as you have that, so you have to have some buffer space.” What KUTE doesn’t know yet is how material has to be packaged before shipping. For instance he doesn’t know if they can ship out mixed loads, or if they have to send out loads of the same product. If they have to store 20 tonnes each of those eight streams of materials “now instead of being a processing centre, you’re a warehouse.” “You have to have a huge facility,” he said. Other questions KUTE hasn’t yet had answers to is how many truck loads of garbage goes to the landfill each day, a number which would help them figure out how much material they’d be expecting.

PTI moving ahead on project Cameron Orr Vice president for business development with PTI Group said as much work as it was getting to the point they’re at now, “now the real hard work begins too.” Sean Crockett said the company is now in the conceptual and engineering phase for their proposed work lodge, which recently received approved zoning from the District of Kitimat to build in the Strawberry Meadows subdivision. But even though they have the clear to eventually construct the facility, they won’t close themselves up from the community. “Our approach to this point and our commitment going forward is to be very open and transparent about the plans and to continue to consult with the community,” he said, saying that’s the key to their success in Kitimat so far. “Our goal is to get the support to do our project...and to be a long term part of the community,” he added. The company, he said, anticipates opening the lodge to guests starting in late 2014, although the

“Our approach to this point and our commitment going forward is to be very open and transparent about the plans and to continue to consult with the community.” company still has approvals to go through with their own board of directors, and at the municipal level, he said. Crockett does note that the company has not made any capital commitments quite yet on the project and is so far just in the planning stages, he said. After a lengthy process, PTI Group received their zoning amendments, which would allow them to construct a temporary workforce accommodation facility, which is planned to house, at it’s eventual peak, 2,100. There were many conditions to the approval, including contributing to an affordable housing fund.

Kitimat’s Canada Day fireworks lit up the night sky over the Riverlodge on July 1, capping off the usual full, busy day of celebrations around town. The fireworks themselves were said to be a particularly good set from a community which regularly puts on a good show. More photos and details from Canada Day on page 7.

Bomb threat Kitimat police responded to a call of a possible bomb at the entrance to the Upper City Centre Mall parking lot on July 5 at around 7:30 a.m. Staff sergeant Phil Harrison said he and other police officers arrived and blocked off the area, and found a red container. “It was a red cardboard box, although it was painted up and looked like a metal box, with wires leading to a battery pack,” he said. Pictures were taken from a short distance away and sent to the RCMP bomb unit based in Vancouver, who were initially set to come to Kitimat, but Harrison said he managed a closer look and saw it was clearly a fake. “Upon closer inspection, it became obvious it was a fake bomb, not a real one,” he said. “So [the bomb unit] was called off and the fake bomb was hauled away and disposed of.” He said one side of the package was open with a loose panel which he was able to see into, where he noticed there were no explosives. He said local RCMP detachments don’t have any bomb disposal equipment which is why a bomb unit from Vancouver has to be called in for such occasions. So far they don’t have any motive for the threat, except for possibly someone looking for their 15 minutes of fame, said Harrison. The initial call regarding the bomb was not from anyone involved in this incident, he added. “It was called in by a passer-by. Somebody going to Timmy’s for their morning run and noticed it.”

Recycling

Continued from page 1 The upcoming recycling programs may also have other costs. Plastic wrap recycling would have to be baled in a specialized baler, which Maitland said is estimated to cost about $100,000. “For the volume of material that we would collect, you would never be able to justify that kind of money,” he said. He said that there’s a deadline in September this year for the District of Kitimat to decide whether or not they want to enter into a deal with MMBC to collect the materials. If not, MMBC will likely look to private contractors to do that work. Langdon told the Sentinel that whoever gets contracted for the pick-up could look at curbside pickup or depot drop-off services such as we already have now. He said in the fall MMBC would do a request for proposals for processing or collection of the material. In practice, a collector would take the material to a central point and from there the processor would manage the material to wherever it needs to be sent. That would all be contracted through MMBC. Maitland theorized that there’s

Cameron Orr The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has been invited to talk to Kitimat Council, to discuss the waste left behind by riverbank campers, as well as the increased usage of the riverbank during construction projects. The motion was put forward by Mary Murphy, who sits on the Leisure Services Committee, and said comments and questions on this issue were being brought to them. “There were citizens that were raising concerns about it,” said Murphy. She remembers seeing the riverbank completely packed with people in years past which isn’t the case so much anymore, she said, but she knows there are many people setting up campers and tents along the river today. Ideas heard at the committee include gating off access to the riverbank, which Murphy knows could not happen due to the risk to the public. “If anybody gets hurt on the riverbank and you’re preventing any type of rescue from the area you could be sued,” she said. “We can’t kick them off, it’s not our property, so the only way to go about it is for Fisheries to monitor it properly.” Murphy said something to consider is the work done by a local woman, Vivian Douglas, who years ago received permission from Kitimat Council to collect garbage at the riverbanks, and charge campers $10 a day for that service. “Nobody seemed to have a problem paying to have their garbage removed,” said Murphy. Murphy’s motion did pass, so council is waiting to hear a response from Fisheries and Oceans. “We just want to make sure the riverbank is kept clean and safe, and that they’re not putting anything into the river,” said Murphy.

a possibility a more regional depot could be built to support the new program, especially in light of the fact that the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine is looking in to a recycling pick-up program, he said. “You have three communities within 60km of each other, and if you read the Multi Material BC guidelines, they’re suggesting that a depot could be within 60km of the regional boundaries, so all three of these areas would be within that bubble,” he said. “So if you were to build a central depot, you could have one site...handling material from all three.” The District of Kitimat’s Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Warren Waycheshen said that staff has in the past been directed to work with KUTE on recycling options, and at the June 24 committee of the whole meeting were instructed again to meet with KUTE to prepare a plan for the 2014 MMBC changes for recycling pick up. Staff are also looking at MMBC’s stewardship plan and will work on having several options to present to Kitimat Council ahead of the September 16 deadline to decide.

Making a pipeline more palatable

This isn’t my own idea, but it’s one I thought would be good to share in the spirit of discussion. It has to do with what would make the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines project something that people would support. Now, assuming you didn’t light this paper on fire right as you read that, the idea is that if Enbridge were to ever build a pipeline, they should, concurrent to that, build an operational highway along its right-of-way. Based on Northern Gateway’s current maps on their website, such a highway would connect Kitimat to Burns Lake. There were a few reasons given for such a plan. It would open up new country for outdoor recreational enthusiasts, would significantly cut down commuting time and costs for people travelling that direction, who didn’t want to head north to Hazelton before making their way back south, and it could make the pipeline safer. On that it was argued that people using the road would be a great first-hand look, just in case anything may be spilling out of the pipe and rising to the surface. Long time readers of the Sentinel may remember suggestions from the last editor about a Coastal Connector highway, which would have run from Houston to Kitimat. It wasn’t a plan that gained much traction. I recall some thought it would be hard on the communities that it circumvents, depriving them of tourist dollars. Then again, likely a lot of people heading to Prince Rupert from the direction of Prince George would keep on the existing Highway 16. And a circle-route through the region taking the new hypothesized highway up to 16, and back, could be a new venue for tourism promotion. This would all be hinged on the idea, though, that Enbridge would ever agree to build B.C. a highway, or that the province would want them to. In the end it would be a huge stretch of road that would have to be maintained. There are certainly a lot of variables to work out in this scenario. But the point made to me is that people may soften to Enbridge and the Northern Gateway if there was a tangible benefit from the construction. In this case, a highway would provide new travel opportunities and be a real, visible benefit from the project. I don’t expect everyone to agree. I know it doesn’t change what product is being transported. Yet maybe it’s worth wondering how hard the line against the project would be if something like this would be on the table with it.

protest spread unsavoury details of Toewes’ personal life all over the newspapers and I guess it’s this type of “reaction” that I feel amply demonstrates the potential intrusiveness of even the existing Internet structure. Toewes is thick skinned, thicker than most I’d say, but I keep in mind most of the Twittered material was already in the public domain. CSIS and the RCMP have been quick to capitalize on the reported successes in Toronto and Vancouver, to appeal for more resources to fight extremism with more and better counter-intelligence and its messages about security risks are leveraged by the increasing concern of Canadians, who like me, find these “cells” or destructive, dissatisfied extremists in our midst, most concerning. Our world is in turmoil over “security” and rightly so, as the Big Brother syndrome takes over - but noone seems to be able to set limits. “When I am president, there will be no more illegal wiretapping of American citizens. No more national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime. No more tracking citizens who do nothing more than protest a misguided war.” Barack Obama (Dec. 24, 2007).

Let them eat cake You can understand the stress of making enough dessert to feed all of your guests when you host a party. For the Kitimat Girl Guides’ Trefoil Guild, they’re tasked each year in making enough cake for 1,000 people, sometimes a little more. It’s a task that starts at the end of May, and eventually concludes with you holding a piece of Canada Day cake, which you would have picked up in the gym at the Riverlodge. “There are usually about six of us who bake it and it takes 54 cake mixes, and 14 dozen eggs,” explains Lois Godfrey. They bake 18 cakes, at 12x18”. Three of the cakes are saved in case of unforseen accidents, and in the absence of any trouble, they’ll get cut up and served as well. One cake may get set aside for the Riverlodge’s summer students. Marjorie Phelps and Barb Knapton, she said, will decide on the design of the cake, which depends on the theme of the year.

The cake is homemade, but was at a time made at a local bakery, said Godfrey. However they were never entirely satisfied with the product. “There was just absolute gallons of red icing,” she said, saying they’d walk away from the bakery with icing in their hair and clothes. The Guild offered to just make it themselves she said, after trying that way, but the Guides are paid to make the cake, she added. The massive cake can serve around 1,000, maybe 1,100 a year, although she said just shy of 1,000 people took a piece this year. Godfrey said that it was nice to have Mary Sheil in town for the event. She was there helping to hand out the cake, and was the local division commissioner when the Guides started making the cake for the event. She was in town celebrating her 50th wedding anniversary. “So it was very fitting she would be back this year.”

In the very early hours of June 30, another fire ripped apart a cabin and a two storey structure at the former Aluminum City Motel. It is the second fire on the property in the past three months, the first which destroyed one of the motel’s former cabins on April 2. Staff Sergeant Phil Harrison says the RCMP is suspecting arson as the reason for the blaze, due to the fact no gas or electricity services the old motel. He said the investigation is continuing and that they have no suspects as yet. Fire Chief Trent Bossence said at 2:30 a.m. that morning eight firefighters responded to the fire with one engine and a ladder truck, and they found the two structures fully engulfed in flame. With the fire as bad as it was they decided to let the smaller building burn and focus on the main building. He said he hoped the fire department’s investigation would be wrapped up by last Friday.

Spying Continued from page 4 Does the American president have any control over the NSA and its activities? He appears to have defended its activities vigorously since details were leaked around the world by whistle-blower, Edward Snowden -- and the reverberations are still rippling around the world. I know that the general sense among Canadians is that “if you’ve

nothing to hide, you’ve nothing to worry about.” Yet we all know this is not quite true .. and when eventually, the snooping goes too far, or becomes politically manoeuvrable you have big issues to deal with. I’m sure I’m not the only one wrestling with a lot of mixed feelings and lack of information about the status of government’s “need to know” detailed information about our day to day activities.

Born in Heerlen, Netherlands, Katharina immigrated to Canada and eventually made Kitimat her home where she met Karl. Katharina passed away after a short battle with cancer at the Kelowna General Hospital. Surrounded by her loving family, Mom went peacefully in her sleep. She left behind her loving husband of 58 years Karl, a daughter Barbara (Greg) Brosnikoff, plus the Apples of her eye, her three beautiful grandchildren Travis, Matthew and Kristen. And last but not least, Jennifer Gorden who she always referred to as her second daughter. No matter what role Mom was in whether it be Wife, Mother, Oma, her family was always number one in her life. Mom and Dad had recently moved from Kitimat, which was their home since the beginning of Kitimat, to Winfield, BC to be close to their daughter and grandkids. Also so she could start her cancer treatments. In the end her wish came true to be surrounded by her family who love her so much. Katharina, Mom, Oma will be dearly missed but never forgotten. She loved life and we loved her laugh and her big smile and most of all her loving heart. Mom left her mark on all of us and for that we will never forget her and are eternally grateful. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the BC Cancer Society. Condolences can be sent to 10768 Sherman Drive, Winfield BC V4V 1W5

He is deeply missed by his wife Pat of 47 years, sons Daryl (Debbie), David (Nikole) and his precious grandchildren that he loved so very much, Nicole, Samantha, Jourden, Kera and Brayden.

Obituaries

Doreen Desson 1919 - 2013

Long-time Kitimat resident, Doreen Desson, died peacefully at age 94 on Monday, June 24, in Ottawa, Ontario. Predeceased by her husband of 58 years, Jim, in 2008, and by sister Eleanor and brother Clarence, Doreen is survived by her sons, Ken (Lisa) and Lorne, and by grandchildren, Rhys and Rae, and numerous nieces and nephews. Doreen was born in Victoria, B.C., on March 20, 1919, but grew up in Calgary, Alberta, where she enrolled in the Holy Cross Hospital School of Nursing, graduating as an RN in 1943. Doreenâ€™s nursing career spanned 43 years, beginning as a surgical ward nurse in Calgary, then moving to the emergency ward of the Edmonton General Hospital, and finally to emergency room and maternity care nursing at the Kitimat General Hospital. When Doreen began her nursing career, antibiotics were still years away from widespread use and serious illnesses such as pneumonia were treated with fresh air and mustard plasters. By the time she retired, marvels such as organ transplants, MRIs, and a huge pharmacy of wonder drugs had transformed health care. Doreen moved from Calgary to Kitimat with her husband and son, Ken, in 1956. Her second son, Lorne, was born in Kitimat in 1958. Kitimat was a brand new town at that time, created out of northwest B.C. wilderness by Alcan in the early 1950s. Jim and Doreen helped to build the community by participating actively in the Anglican Church, service clubs, and community events. They moved from Kitimat to Ottawa in 2000 to be close to their grandchildren. Doreen will be laid to rest in her familyâ€™s burial plot in Ross Bay Cemetery, Victoria, B.C.

Marlin swimmers go to Victoria Submitted The Kitimat Marlins Swim Club had four swimmers attend the 2013 Swim BC Long Course (50 meter) AA Championships in Victoria recently. There were 350 swimmers from around B.C. and the Yukon in attendance. To attend swimmers needed to achieve a minimum of one AA Provincial qualifying time and not yet achieve the higher AAA Provincial qualifying times in any of their races. This made for some extremely close fun swim racing for all involved. All the Marlins swimmers had some excellent results with all four swimmers achieving the tough task of making finals (top eight finish). Gabriel Lamarre (11) competing in the 11 and under boys category swam to 100 per cent personal best times in all five of his races and became the AA Provincial Champion

in the 400 meter Individual Medley with a super tight race that saw gold and silver decided by 6/100th of a second and gold through bronze decided by 1/2 a second. Lamarre also placed 4th in the 100 meter breaststroke, 5th in the 200 breast and 8th in the 100 backstroke. Ethan Velho (12) competing in the 12 year old boys category swam to 100 per cent personal best times in all five of his races. Velho made the finals in the 100 and 200 breast finishing 5th in both events and 6th in the 200 IM. Raychel Davies (13) competing in the 13 year old girls category swam to 100 per cent personal best times and made finals in four of her five events. Davies placed 6th in the 400 IM, 7th in the 100 butterfly and 400 freestyle 8th in the 800 fr. Robyn Alderman (16) competing in the 15 and over girls category made the finals in the 200 IM finishing 8th.
