Recycling depot’s rent raise hurts KUTE Once again KUTE (Kitimat Understanding the Environment) is faced with a financial crunch which has them seeking support from council. With their lease up for renewal, the recycling organization is faced with their rent for their recycling warehouse in the Service Centre rising by over $2,000 a month. Right now they pay $1,656 plus tax, which is rising to $3,800. It’s a drastic increase which put their operation in jeopardy. The change is also very sudden. KUTE President Barb Hall said they only learned how much their rent was increasing about four weeks ago. Hall said she needs assurances from the District that they can increase their subsidy to the organiza-

tion to cover the additional costs. The boost would be in addition to other possible monies the group may ask for in upcoming budget discussions. “I don’t feel comfortable signing a lease with that much of an increase without some assurance that we’ll be okay,” she told councillors at the November 25 Committee of the Whole meeting. Cutting labour is the only other way the society can see to make up the difference in their rent. The increase equals 173 work hours, more than a single full-time employee. Alternately it could mean a 49 hour per month reduction in the depot’s hours. The new lease would be for three years. Continued on page 2

Humane society needs financial bump Cameron Orr With a self-imposed $5-an-hour pay cut for the manager and other concessions, the Kitimat Community Humane Society is still lagging in resources and wants the District of Kitimat to kick in over $100,000 next year. Councillors at the November 25 Committee of the Whole meeting heard a presentation from shelter manager Maryann Ouellet. Under the District’s current animal control contract with the shelter, they receive $73,380 a year, or $6,115 a month. Their contract has actually expired as of March 31 this year, but they’ve been operating

under the terms until a new contract is established. Now Ouellet wants to see an increase in their contract to $178,496, as well as see their funding become an operating grant rather than an annual contract. Primarily the proposed increase will alleviate staff problems at the shelter, allowing a better wage and reducing the amount of time they are shortstaffed. She said her proposal, which included a personnel list of new positions should she get the funding, is flexible and she could adjust the budget, if only slightly. “We could probably do with one less

full time dog control officer and just have someone part time, because I’m the one who does the majority of the work, and just so there is that back-up person who will have the experience and knowledge to deal with the problems,” she said. “It can be flexible to a point.” While right now it is herself and two parttime employees, she proposes one bylaw officer, one full-time dog control officer, two part-timers of the same position, one receptionist, two full-time shelter employees and two part-time employees. Except the manager, all should be unionized, she wrote. Continued on page 6

Dating site swipes person’s pictures November 18 The RCMP were alerted to alleged threats made on Facebook to a person. The individual didn’t seek police action, but merely wanted the report made in the possibility the alleged threats escalated. The person told police they were going to block the other person from their account. November 19 The driver of the semi-truck which went into the ditch (photo in

the November 27 Sentinel.) received a traffic violation ticket for conducting a u-turn on a curve. The driver was reportedly from Michigan, USA. A young person with their father went to the RCMP detachment reporting that the images of the young person were being used without permission on a dating website. The photos are said to have come from a Facebook account. An officer found contact informa-

An intoxicated male was reported on a bus by City Centre Mall. Police attended

and found a male who was reportedly “passed out” at the back of the bus. The male was in a deep sleep and the officer could smell a strong odour of alcohol. The male was eventually woken by the officer and arrested for being intoxicated in a public place. He was put into cells at the Kitimat CRMP detachment until he was sober. RCMP assisted the fire department at 6:48 p.m. on a call of some

power lines reportedly on fire near apartment buildings on Kuldo Boulevard. There was a small fire seen on the top of a power pole near the 728 and 730 Kuldo apartment buildings, and police provided security at the scene until BC Hydro could arrive to fix the issue. BC Hydro arrived an hour later to fix the problem. There were some minor power outages reported in the area. Police attended a

KUTE “It crossed my mind that I personally would like to see the District of Kitimat look at having a whole new warehouse built specifically for recycling and put it at the landfill site,” said Councillor Corinne Scott. “I’d like to be able to have the staff look at that, where we can maybe put up a metal clad building that can incorporate all the space they would require.” Mario Feldhoff agreed with the idea but didn’t think the landfill was the place for it. “I’m not sure the landfill itself is

Continued from page 1 Councillors were expecting a report from staff on the matter at their next regular council meeting, and would then likely make a decision on giving the extra money. However the issue brought up a sidethought from councillors, who pondered whether a whole new depot could be created, so the society wouldn’t be locked in to long term high rent. (KUTE and council did recognize the fair rent cost that the building owners have historically charged.)

the best site, I was thinking more along Forest Avenue, perhaps the fire training ground that would be close enough to the community for recycling drop off...at the same time maybe lighten the load on the way to the landfill.” This past July, KUTE was also given a $30,000 increase from council, money which went towards hiring a new manager at the depot to handle the depot’s immense backlog of material. Prices have been low on materials they collect which contributes to financial challenges for the group.

Seats The B.C. government is accepting public comments until Jan. 15 on a proposed bill to restrict the number of MLAs to the current level of 85, and to maintain the current rural and northern seats. The last review in 2008 recommended that an urban population shift should result in a reduction of one seat in northern B.C.

They only use 10 percent of the energy of traditional incandescent bulbs, and can last much longer. What a way to brighten your holiday! Bill Manery, project manager for the PNG Looping Project, points at the pipeline’s terminus in Kitimat on a map at last week’s open house.

PNG early in review process Cameron Orr Once complete, the PNG Looping project will do something no other natural gas pipeline in this region will do: lower our rates. But that will be years off, as Pacific Northern Gas (PNG) is early in the review process for their proposed project, which will effectively twin their existing pipeline from Summit Lake. The company held an open house last Tuesday, part of their process with the Environmental Assessment Office to gather what information will be needed in their eventual environmental review submission. So far the company has just submitted a project description, which is what tells the

EAO whether or not a project triggers an environmental review. Bill Manery is the project manager and spoke of the project to the Sentinel. He explained the proposed route will start at Summit Lake where their existing line meets Spectra Energy’s line, and will parallel PNG’s existing route until the Telkwa Pass. Instead of sharing the existing route through there the pipe veers north around the mountains before heading south into Kitimat. The Telkwa Pass, he said, is just not ideal for construction. “There have been issues in the past, we’re anticipating there could very well be issues in the future...we just don’t want to go back

in there,” said Manery. PNG has two primary customers they are aiming to serve with their new capacity. One, Douglas Channel Energy, is a co-operative which plans to establish a floating liquefaction facility on the Douglas Channel. Manery said that project will actually take up the unused capacity on PNG’s existing line. There is a second LNG proposal the pipeline would serve as well but Manery didn’t provide details on what that company is. “There is one other project,” he said, “It’s less developed. It’s a consortium, but it’s a second project of about the same size,”

he said. While that consortium is also looking at Prince Rupert, “We think it’s probably going to be Kitimat.” People can comment on PNG’s project during this Application Information Requirements (AIR) process, which runs to January 2. The Environmental Assessment Office website is at www.eao. gov.bc.ca.

Propaganda, Inc. While spending a week in Vancouver I indulged in one of my guilty life pleasures: hoarding free commuter and community papers I collect throughout the day. The prevalence of printed news gives me warm feelings in my heart, as I’m always hearing about the impending doom of printed news products, a doomsday I’ve yet to see realized. But the butterflies I get at printed news is not what I mean to talk about today. An article caught my eye in the Vancouver Metro paper, of which their front page story actually included a reference to Kitimat. Go figure. The story, from their November 13 issue, was about how hundreds of parents, students and teachers have become enraged and signed a petition, complaining to Canadian Geographic that they’ve been sending materials sponsored by the energy industry to schools in the form of educational maps and other materials. I’ll quote a portion of the article: “So far nine Vancouver schools have requested a copy of the “Canada’s Energy Mix” vinyl floor map and a related trunk of materials, which encourage students to engage in exercises such as mapping out pipeline routes.” This program, the article goes on, is called Energy IQ, and is paid for by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, “Canada’s most influential oil-and-gas lobbyist.” Two students started the petition, saying propaganda has no place in schools. I happened to be in Vancouver on some family medical appointments at the time so I found this article particularly interesting given other propaganda in public places I’d seen. The most recent example I can think of is the tape measures that doctors use to measure my toddler son’s head. In big letters, the measuring item is clearly branded with the Similac brand. It’s certainly ideal not to mingle branding with health care or education but there’s a benefit to be had if handled with care. Doctors have never told me my appointment “was brought to you by Similac,” or even drawn attention to the logo on the measure. Meanwhile in addition to the activities provided in the materials from Canadian Geographic, teachers have an opportunity to have students think critically about the nation’s role in energy. We shouldn’t have students mapping out pipelines without also asking them if they think pipelines are needed. Explain their dangers, but also explain their importance. Teachers don’t have to say no to getting educational materials, just as doctors don’t have to say no to measuring tapes. But having teachers apply the materials responsibly and critically is the key.

at the GIF illustration itself. It was a visually changing series of photos that demonstrated how a typical Toronto street car could transport approximately 40 people in a fraction of the roadway space needed to transport 40 single drivers and their cars. It did this in four quick-rotation photos — the streetcar, the 40 cars on Bay Street, the space occupied by the single drivers (without their cars) and the space occupied by the same 40 people in the seated configuration inside the streetcar. It was fascinating in its own way and no doubt true. But that’s a story for big cities with serious traffic congestion problems. But, yes, this was really a good GIF (Huffington Post uses the term “compelling”) and if you’ve seen it, you’ll likely agree. And frankly it’s only the abbreviation/acronym element of the use of GIF in the headline that really frosts me. There are just so many of them. By now, most people are familiar with many. Like ‘em or not, they can live with LOL, LMAO, L2MS, B/D, even smiley faces and other similar abbreviated illustrated messages. But they are proliferating at such a rate as to become almost impossible to keep up with. Continued on page 5

Something you can take to the bank Luke 7: 50, “And Jesus said to the woman, ‘Your faith has saved you.” When I was a kid I used to love watching the Flintstones. I remember the episode where Wilma and Betty were cruising around town with Fred and Barney’s credit cards triumphantly yelling, “Charge it.” We Canadians have become used to being in debt. It is estimated that the average Canadian carries over $5,000 of debt on their credit cards and the average mortgage is now over $300,000 (even in Kitimat). So, with all this debt how can people manage? The truth is, many can’t. When people realize they are in over their heads they begin to consolidate loans or pay one credit card off with another one, but sooner or later the crushing debt has to be dealt with. So, how would you like to

Ouellet had the sympathy of councillors who didn’t realize the budget was so tight. “I was appalled when I read this letter, not knowing at all you were struggling to the point where you had to take time off because you had no money,” said Scott. The request was forwarded into council’s future budget discussions which are expected to begin before Christmas. The society’s contract has risen $800 over the past eight years.

60 years of service in the auxiliary after 1966 when she moved to Kitimat, because until roughly that time memberships couldn’t transfer. She said the legion’s ladies auxiliary is quite an active place, even as they have room for more members, if people were inclined. “They provide a lot for the community, they give bursaries to the high school and things like that,” she said. “We do a lot of catering too for different organizations.”

At 21-years-old, Eileen Craven signed up to her local legion in Caron, Saskatchewan. At 88-years-old, she’s been recognized with a medal and certificate for sticking with the legion’s ladies auxiliary for over 60 years. Craven said she hasn’t felt like that much time has passed since she first signed up. She remained a member of the Caron legion until

driver admitted to police that he had a “few beers” and finished his last drink only 30 minutes prior. The driver failed a roadside breath test, and under provincial rules had his vehicle impounded for 30 days and prohibited from driving for 90 days. A 9-1-1 call had a man reporting that his ex-girlfriend had allegedly come to his door and pepper sprayed him. Through the investigation, police reported that the woman had apparently wanted the man to come to the bar with her but the man refused, leading to the alleged incident. A friend of the man was standing behind him when the alleged act took place and he reported burning sensations on his lip following the incident. The suspect was found nearby, intoxicated, and arrested for assault with a weapon. She was released on a promise to appear in court at a later date. If you have information about these or any other crimes, please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 or contact the Kitimat RCMP at 250-632-7111.

Continued from page 2 November 20 A car was reported in the ditch on Haisla Boulevard near Harbour Road. The driver and passenger were uninjured. Police say the vehicle likely lost traction due to the icy road. Police say the “road surface at the scene was a sheet of ice, and a sand truck came through just after the scene cleared.” November 24 A complainant called the RCMP at 2:54 a.m. to report that he was allegedly punched in the face while at the Kitimat Hotel earlier. When officers attended to the man’s home to take a statement his level on intoxication prevented getting any more useful information. A member arranged to speak with the person on their next shift to take further statements. A caller reported a possibly intoxicated person attempting to drive at Tim Hortons at 1:53 a.m. Police located the vehicle on Quatsino Boulevard and pulled him over. The

Students and staff at Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School stand behind a log just after it was delivered to the school. The log was donated to be carved into a totem pole which will eventually stand inside the school.

Log arrives for MEMSS totem pole Cameron Orr It has arrived, the 28 foot log which is set to be carved into Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School’s totem pole. Skeena Sawmills donated the log and arranged for its delivery to the school on November 25, where it was placed outside before it was eventually covered. It’s the latest development in a plan the school put into action in late 2012. “It’s been a long time dream, to have something in the building that represents unity of our community and incorporates the awareness of the First Nations culture in

our school community,” said Katherine Johnsen last December. Johnsen is a counsellor at the high school and a key member of the committee which is arranging this totem pole project. With a number of corporate and government donations, the program is on track, but a timeline for when the rest of the process will take place is not yet known. The next steps are, however, to get someone to officially bless the log, and to get approval by their carver for the log. “We’ve got to find someone in our community to

come over and bless the pole before we can do anything to it,” said First Nations support worker Sheila Duncan. “We have to set up a place for the pole to be where the carver can work, where the kids can access it,” said Johnsen. The pole, expected to be 10 feet once complete, is anticipated to be placed in the lobby of the school near the main office. The plan will be to have the students at the school participate in some way with the carving as well, both in learning the process of carving and the history of totem poles as well.

Community rallies behind typhoon relief Cameron Orr Kitimat councillor and president of the Filipino Association of Canada in Kitimat Edwin Empinado says the community has stepped up in raising money for relief in the Phillipines. Collections were put around town at the grocery stores, banks, and restaurants, as well as at Kitimat Ice Demons games to aid in assistance after the devastating Typhoon Haiyan.

Empinado didn’t have a total ready for the community fundraising, money which will go towards the Canadian Red Cross — the government has committed to matching donations to the Red Cross — but did say that two Ice Demons games raised $700. The primary fundraising campaign was just to the end of November, but donations are still being accepted.

responded to the calamity by not just giving monetary contributions by sympathy, prayers and words of comfort and encouragement”, Edwin wrote in an e-mail to the Sentinel. “I would like to express on behalf of the Filipino Canadian community in Kitimat our sincerest gratitude for those who shared their blessings to our countrymen back home in the Philippines.

Edwin Empinado Doris Empinado can be contacted to give donations, at 250639-9749 or 250-2790196. “I could see how the people in Kitimat

Sinopec enters LNG scene Tom Fletcher Chinese petrochemical giant Sinopec, another Japanese player and an unidentified Indian company are joining the international move to explore liquefied natural gas exports from northern B.C., says Rich Coleman, B.C.’s minister for natural gas development. Sinopec, ranked the fifth largest global company in 2011, is looking for LNG imports equivalent to the output of the world’s second largest LNG terminal, Coleman told reporters as Premier Christy Clark began a trade trip to Asia. Another new player is Idemitsu Kosan Co., the second largest petroleum refiner in Japan, which is applying for a federal export permit in a partnership with Calgary-based AltaGas called Triton LNG. China National Overseas Oil Company and its new subsidiary Nexen has put up a non-refundable deposit of $12 million toward purchase of provincial land on the north side of Grassy Point near Prince Rupert, Coleman said. Another unidentified company has shown interest in the south side of Grassy Point.

The new proposals add to a lineup of international investment proposed by Petronas, Chevron, Shell, British Gas and others, which are expected to make final investment decisions in 2014. Coleman said the tax rate for LNG producers is to be presented to companies by the end of November, but it may not be public until the B.C. government table its budget in February. 10 ft
