LNG deal sets bar for others Cameron Orr and Tom Fletcher The B.C. government last week passed a project development agreement for an LNG project in Prince Rupert but the Skeena MLA says the deal will be applied to Kitimat projects too, and from his perspective British Columbians are getting a raw deal. “The PDA which the government passed...is the framework which will be given to any LNG terminal plant coming in the future,” said Robin Austin. “The deal that Petronas got, the 25-year tax holiday and indemnity from any extra charges that may come, that will be offered to Shell, that will be offered to Chevron. It will be offered to everybody.” He said that is actually written in the legislation, which he called “unprecedented” in what it gives away. Premier Christy Clark said the project development agreement with Petronas-led Pacific Northwest LNG for the Port of Prince Rupert is complete from the government’s standpoint. She ruled out any further exemptions to the provincial sales tax that applies to investments in plant and pipelines that could reach $36 billion. “We aren’t considering changing the way the PST is treated for this or any other projects,” Clark said, responding to comments by David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance. Keane questioned the suggestion that LNG investors are getting a discount for investing in B.C. “This is the only regime where we have to pay a special LNG tax,” Keane told reporters in Victoria last week. “It’s the only jurisdiction where we have to pay a carbon tax, and we also have to buy carbon offsets to get down to our greenhouse gas target that was legislated last year.

A swim in Douglas Channel Walter Thorne was kind enough to share this photo he snapped of a pod of orcas in the Douglas Channel. He said there were five in the pod, one male and several females and perhaps a calf. He suspects they chased the chinooks right in to the Kitimat River. Caitlin Birdsail, a coordinator for the North Coast Initiative of the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre in Prince Rupert, told Thorne through e-mail that she believes the whales are from a known family the centre has tracked. If it’s the same family, there is the mom Sonora, along with a large male son, and three additional offspring, the youngest just over a year old. That family was in Prince Rupert harbour in April and they were seen in Portland Inlet a few weeks back.

A July 24 stolen vehicle file led police to discover the remains of this Nissan. Anyone with information on this is asked to contact the local detachment.
Cable Car vehicle vandalized July 13 The RCMP received a complaint of a vandalized vehicle in Cable Car. The complainant says their vehicle had scratches consistent with being keyed. It was thought to have been done over the previous couple of days. An abandoned vehicle was reported to police near an apartment building set for construction and demolition work. Workers feared the vehicle would be damaged during the work in the coming weeks. The last registered owner was contacted and advised to have it moved. July 14 A portable walkie-talkie-type radio was found. The radio is being held at the RCMP detachment and is asking the owner to come identify it so it can be returned. July 16 Responding to a report of disturbance at Haisla Marina, RCMP say they found an assault had taken place and a male has been arrested in connection to the incident. The person was then charged with several offences, and released under conditions ahead of court dates in September. July 18 Police tracked down a vehicle after receiving a report of a possibly impaired driver. The vehicle was located driving erratically. The officer found the person was intoxicated, and also did not hold
a valid driver’s licence. The police say they are thankful to the public in these situations, saying they rely on these reports from the public to keep the roads safe.

Bonuses
In the June 29 closed council meeting, councillors approved a $3,500 performance bonus to regular, full-time exempt staff “in recognition of their efforts during the labour dispute.� The information was released through the normal release of closed meeting minutes. The memo says that the $3,500 is in line with the signing bonus given to the town’s unionized workers under their new Collective Agreement. Kitimat Chief Administrative Officer Warren Waycheshen says there are 20 staff members receiving the performance bonus. It’s the same bonus regular fulltime union employees received for signing the new contract. Regular part-time employees received a $2,000 signing bonus and part-time/ temporary and casual employees received $1,500.
Health firings B.C.’s new Ombudsperson has been given extra authority to investigate the case of eight ministry of health researchers whose work on drug effectiveness was terminated three years ago. The B.C. government passed amendments to allow the Ombudsperson to review the case that has had the government on the defensive since the abrupt dismissal of university researchers in 2012. The researchers were assessing drugs for eligibility under the province’s Pharmacare program. The health ministry initially said a database of B.C. patients who had taken various drugs had been misused, and some appeared to have conflicts of interest.

Recognition Grant MacDermid has been an on-call guard at the Kitimat RCMP detachment since 1999 and has been a volunteer for programs for the local RCMP as well. He’s moving out of Kitimat so the RCMP honoured him with a plaque for his services. Here he’s being presented with the plaque by Sgt. Graham Morgan.
KLNG wants more input Chevron has asked the District of Kitimat to re-open the public hearing process in to the M1 Manufacturing Zone bylaw, the bylaw which effectively sets contributions to the town for temporary camp worker beds. Chevron, the major proponent behind Kitimat LNG, had spoke to the bylaw in earlier public hearing sessions, but had not contributed new opinions
in the later stages. The public hearing process had been ongoing for over a year. With the hearing now closed and the bylaw on the verge of adoption (at the time of writing) the District received a letter from the company indicating they had expected to be directly consulted on the proposed bylaw. Their letter didn’t do much to sway council who may have felt
no inclination to reopen such a lengthy public consultation process. Rob Goffinet was sympathetic, saying the strike may have meant difficulties in the company being consulted on the plan and out of fairness it might be wise to reopen it. He was the only vote in favour that way. Mayor Phil Germuth said there is always
Fire ban stamped out As of July 22, campfires were again allowed within the District of Kitimat, following the lifting of a regional ban the day before by the Northwest Fire Centre (NFC). We’re not out of the dry, flammable woods yet though. The Northwest Fire Centre still notes that there is a wildfire risk out there and campers must take careful precaution in extinguishing any flames. The NFC rescind of the fire ban allows for campfires no larger than half a metre high, outdoor stoves and tiki torches. Open burning in the region and in the District remain banned, as do fireworks. The NFC says the category 2 and 3 open burning prohibitions will remain in effect until September 30 at the latest. Bans cover Crown Land, BC Parks and private lands. The Northwest Fire Centre extends from just west of Endako to the North Coast and from the Yukon border to Tweedsmuir (North) Provincial Park.
Anyone lighting a campfire must maintain a fireguard by removing flammable debris from around the campfire site and have a hand tool or at least eight litres of water available nearby to properly extinguish the fire. The person must make sure that the campfire is completely out and the ashes are cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time. Anyone found breaking the rules of a fire ban may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

Election time Election season is a funny time. The lead-up to an election, particularly a federal one, is, for me on a personal level, obnoxious and tedious. (As an editor it means other things, but I won’t bore you with job descriptions.) Already I’m getting tired of the whole process. The Conservative government, as you know, recently gave parents a bump in the monthly baby bonus. (Or whatever it’s called now.) I won’t re-tread ground columnist Hewitson covers to your right, but the move was seen by many as an election move. Meanwhile on Twitter I am bombarded with near daily polls from the Globe and Mail about who would win the election were it called today. It’s a good thing elections for the national government aren’t held weekly with the way it teeter-tots. The main message I get from those is that the NDP and the Conservatives are effectively neck-inneck for who will win the most seats. I don’t recall if it was any of their polling which determined the NDP would be victor in the provincial election here. Then there’s the attack ads, which sadly, science has revealed, work quite effectively. They tend to do the opposite to me. The Justin Trudeau “He’s Just Not Ready” ads tend to make me want to support him, just for the fact that the opposing party, in this case the Conservatives, aren’t offering any substance about what they offer, just that the other party isn’t what we want. I say this as a person who, in this space months ago, slammed Trudeau for coming to Kitimat and, from my vantage point, met a few token people and took some pictures then took off. Newspapers and its people really don’t like being left out. Within media circles Stephen Harper is beginning to take ever more flak as well, for rarely allowing journalists to do something as simple as ask a question. Many media events come with the disclaimer “Photo op only”. Where’s Tom Mulcair in all this? Well, for the most part he’s so far keeping his head low. The election battle volleys have really, for the most part, been between Conservatives and the Liberals. I couldn’t say why that’s been the case so far. But with the polls showing a 50/50 split between NDP and Conservatives, that battle perhaps will get most heated closer to the October election day. Thankfully we don’t have the same election system as down in the United States. Their election isn’t until November 2016 yet we still have to endure Hillary campaign ads and Donald Trump interviews. Or some do. I’m often afraid of turning on my TV. Cameron Orr
CPC program a real cash and burn The fall election, for the family parent voter is starting to look like some kind of a “fall-guy” election. Middle class families are being wooed in one way or another, by all three parties with a heady-sounding assortment of cash incentives based on family composition. But the Conservative government’s version of universal child care benefits program got off to a critiquefilled start as public and media responded harshly, likening the UCCB as more of a come-on, which will, it appears, largely be taxed right back after the end of the year for large numbers of families. Still, the federal Conservatives willy-nilly rushed out the first avalanche of what will be three million dollars worth annually of taxable government UCCB cheques last week in an apparent attempt to woo young parent votes. The move was hailed as “Christmas in July for Moms and Dads” by slippery-sounding party hack, MP
Under Miscellaneous by Allan Hewitson ahewitson@telus.net
Paul Poilievre, who is also the Minister of Employment and Social Development. Unfortunately the “Christmas in July” boast by Poilievre, boldly dressed in a blue Conservative open-neck shirt, unleashed a hail of negative response with the word “insulting” highly prominent on Twitter, on Facebook and in a tidal-wave of e-mails. It may be that the government has badly misjudged some public’s belief in its infallibility. It was July 21, and although the election is not until October, it launched the campaign with a bang and with a barrel-load of caustic cov-
erage, most of it suggesting the government is buying votes from the parental electorate using their own tax money to do it. I personally feel this way, I think it may be one of the most cynical kick-offs to any election by a Canadian political party ever. Government television ads promote the UCCB as providing nearly $2,000 annually for each child under age six, and $720 yearly for children aged six to 17. Not explained clearly, is the fact that the UCCB is not only taxable (later), but also coincided with the elimination of the Child Tax Credit. The government could have withheld taxes on the cheques, but then they wouldn’t look as large. And it would be cumbersome to make adjustments for income differences later. Easier just to tax the whole amount in February and March, without explaining the implications. Continued on page 5

Medical contract bad deal for union Dear Sir, As a retired and once proud CAW 2301 member, (Alcan employee of 32 years), I must say how disgusted I am with both the union (now Unifor) and the company at the plan to contract out the first aid (among other departments) at the smelter. I am angry at Unifor for accepting the arbitration decision without a bang or even a whimper, and at the company for pushing to arbritration. Though I am retired, I feel betrayed nonetheless. I was an activist in my working years, and I can’t imagine having taken this laying down! I spent most of my working years as an Occupational First Aid Attendant. The patients we treated (both staff and hourly) were people we got to know on a first name basis.
These people, many who had ongoing conditions, were more than just a number, we knew each well and how to address them as individuals. The value of the rapport we as First Aid Attendants, had with the plant population was inestimable. Now the remaining attendants are to be relocated perhaps to less desireable jobs that do not match their training and skills. I feel what the workers need is a union that has the intestinal fortitude to speak up at the arbitrator’s decision, and a company that gives a “rat’s ass” about the total well being of their employees. A caveat to all Rio Tinto workers is that no job is safe. Sincerely, John De Silveira Retired but not silent
Cash and burn Continued from page 4 So starting last week, a typical family with two children under the age of six will get $320 per month, but high-and middle-income earners will lose roughly a third of that through taxes. Another $30 per child will be clawed back through the elimination of the current child tax credit. Tax experts describe the move as “giving more money monthly with one hand, but taking it back with the other hand.” An almost apoplectic Liberal finance critic John McCallum made no bones about his opinion the Conservative government’s decision to roll out the cheques in July and then tax them later was “pure politics” and intended to make people think they’re getting more than they really are. “Many Canadians won’t think about tax,” he added. “They hear a bigger dollar amount so they think more money.” McCallum said, (if elected) the Liberals’ proposed child benefit would be tax free and would provide up to $6,400 annually for every child under six and up to $5,400 annually for children aged six to 17. The benefit would vary depending on the family’s income, and 90 per cent of families would get it. A typical family of four earning $90,000 a year would receive a taxfree monthly cheque of $490 under the Liberal plan. The catch? The Liberals would have to be elected and then change the process and of course their proposal still boils down to paying parents their own money back. If you can wait and think that’s a deal keep your “x” handy. The NDP was also all over the Conservative plan, proposing instead of sending out cheques that they would create one million daycare spaces that cost parents no more than $15 per day. My sense is that would probably look after about half of the double earners in Toronto and Montreal. As for the rest of the country? And haven’t we heard this before? Anyway, there it is, the cheques are out and furious election fever is rampant. I’m not a young family parent any more. But I am pretty certain if I was I’d be p’d off and turned off a very serious way. I think an Ottawa Citizen editorial said it best: “This increase in the child benefit is Canadians’ money, not the government’s money and certainly not the Conservative Party of Canada’s money, despite Poilievre’s decision to launch the benefit wearing a CPC-emblazoned shirt. Not only are we Canadians paying for the government to give some of us some of our money back (and then tax it), we are also paying to be told about it incessantly because the government is apparently very concerned that some parents might not collect. Conservative MPs, following the prime minister’s instruction to tout the increased benefit, are obediently telling people to Tweet the prime minister to let him know personally that their money arrived safe and sound. Thanks, Santa!”

Camping issue has big history A wave of nostalgia swept over me when I saw the story in the July 15 Sentinel on riverbank camping. It was like being reunited with an old friend after many years. And it has been many, many years since the issue first came up at a council meeting - in fact nearly three decades. But the issue really grabbed the headlines over an 18-month period from late 1999 to early 2001. That included a petition in 2000 spearheaded by the late Ross Slezak calling for action that garnered more than 500 signatures. Council of the day was unmoved and employed its usual delaying tactics by saying it would do nothing until it saw the results of a survey carried out by Debra Stokes of the Haisla Fisheries Commission. She presented the results of said survey in February of 2001 and they showed that more than 90 per cent of respondents wanted restrictions on riverbank camping. So what did council do in the face of this
evidence of discontent? It decided to spend $12,500 on an "information campaign" that included huge signs at both the Giant Spruce and Lower Dyke beaches requesting people not camp within 30 metres of the water's edge. But former Mayor Rick Wozney was at pains to make it clear this was not a by-law - in other words the city was doing nothing again. And how is the not-a-bylaw working? Just look at the photo accompanying the story and you see at least

a dozen RVs flagrantly ignoring the 30 metre zone. So what did today's council have to say, through mayor Phil Germuth, in response to the issue being raised again? The issue is within the strategic planning initiatives by the council. So they are at least looking at it? Nope,
there hasn't been any formal discussion about what the direction will be on the matter. Translated, we are doing nothing yet. On the idea that access to the beaches be shut off, Germuth raised the old issue of the inability of the city to block access to private land.

LNG deal Continued from page 1 “And in addition to that, we’re also going to be paying PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes, and corporate income taxes at both the federal and provincial levels,” said Keane. Austin says the
government has given away the store through the quarter-century tax protection. “It’s a gigantic sellout of our public resources. Can you imagine giving a 25-year tax guarantee to the mining
industry? To the forest industry? To the hightech industry? It’s unheard of,” he said. He said the government gave such a sweet deal due fulfill political promises. “We’ve [NDP]
been supportive of LNG. I voted for the LNG tax even though that was hard, from seven to 3.5,” he said, saying he’d love to see LNG plants in the Northwest. But, “This is a fi-
nite resource. Once it’s gone it’s gone. So it’s a terrible deal, it suits the Liberals political agenda but it certainly doesn’t suit British Columbians. It’s not in our best interests.” No promise of
job guarantees in the project development agreement also has him worried. He had hoped the government would follow the Australian model which includes provisions for using local workers as much as
possible. He said he suspects that with many LNG project partners being based overseas we might see a lot of temporary foreign workers brought in over Canadians.
Camp Con’t from page 4 May I suggest that even if you install a locked gate, you are not preventing the private landowner access so long as you give them a key for that lock - as is done at the landfill to allow garbage trucks to access it when it is closed to the public. As an aside, I am sure someone will say that the closure of Radley Park was the reason for so many RVs on the beaches this year. While that may be the cause in part, I have to point out that back in 2000 when we had a logjam of campers on the Giant Spruce beach in particular, I took the time to drive through Radley Park and count the number of empty campsites. There were a lot. In conclusion, Germuth said he does envsision a day when there will be no more free camping on the river. Mr. Mayor, that ain't going to happen unless you and your council do what none of your predessors have been willing to actually do something.

Leisure Service fees will rise
Cameron Orr Council has endorsed the recommendations from the Leisure Services Advisory Commission to do a general increase in fees, but they won’t happen this calendar year. The recommendation is to increase fees by three per cent beginning in January. Leisure Service fees are routinely reviewed and increased annually, but given that recreation facilities have only recently reopened from the strike the commission recommended to council that any increases be held off until the new year starts, so that users aren’t hit with a rate increase just as the doors open. Director of Leisure Services Martin Gould said raising rates at all wasn’t unanimous in the commission but most understood that costs are going up. “As costs rise, everything from wages and hard costs...you need to increase. And the increase can only come from two areas, one is an increase through taxes or an increase in cost to the users,” said Gould. There are some minor changes coming to Leisure Services effective September 1 though. Apart from some minor fee schedule changes, the town will implement a day pass system which will allow users to purchase a pass at, for example, Riverlodge, which will also get them in to Tamitik that same day. Speaking to the recommendations, Councillor Mario Feldhoff said they were good ones, and noted that he has hope that if the industrial base gets larger in Kitimat that fees can see even better improvements at that time.
Beach whale saved by volunteers Kolby Solinksi Beached for more than six hours last Wednesday, an orca whale was saved and finally able to escape in Hartley Bay, with the help of researchers and volunteers who rushed to the animal’s defence. “It was a team effort, and fortunately on some level this transient orca understood that we were trying to help,” wrote Whale Point, on its Facebook page. The group said it used water pumps and sheets to keep the ani-
mal cool and safe before the tide could rise. Hermann Meuter, cofounder of The Ceteacean Lab (aka Whale Point), said his group was joined by local volunteers, including members of the WWF and the Guardians of Hartley Bay, in aiding the orca. He told the CBC the tide rose to the animal’s level about 4 p.m. Wednesday, and it took nearly an hour for the orca to free itself after that, when it was able to return to its waiting pod.
An orca was stuck on rocks along B.C.’s northern coast last week for over six hours, before the tide rose and it was able to escape with the help of volunteers and members from Whale Point, the WFF, and the Guardians of Hartley Bay. Whale Point (The Cetacean Lab)

Strike meant DoK missed B.C. budget deadline Cameron Orr The provincial May 15 deadline to have all of a municipality’s budget information audited and submitted was missed by the District of Kitimat due to the skeleton crew working in the financial department during the municipal strike. While the province does have some routine consequences for towns that do so, Kitimat won’t be in any notable trouble for overshoot. It also helped that the ministry responsible, Community, Sport and Cultural Development, was kept informed about Kitimat’s struggles. Council was informed about the situation through a letter from Sean Grant, the Director for Local Government Finance.
The letter indicates that the 2014 audited financial statements and the 2014 local government data entry forms had not been submitted. District Treasurer Steve Christiansen noted it’s not the first time the District of Kitimat has been late submitting their documents. The town, he said, had previously worked on a timetable which always had them overshooting the deadline, but the town’s new budget schedule allows them to better meet the goals. He said that were it not for the strike he has all confidence that everything would have been submitted in time for the deadline. “This year, due to my deputy being in
Weather station renewed Cameron Orr Kitimat Council approved a request from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Op-
erations for the renewal of occupation for the automated weather station at the Kitimat Air Park. The deal provides a five-year stay for the
station and means a $1,000 licence fee paid to the District. The station was originally installed at the air park in 1995,
and the station’s purpose, according to a District of Kitimat memo, is to support regional fire suppression activities, “and is an in-

that’s the best we can do.” Other ways Christiansen has improved the budget timetable — not inclusive of this year due to the extenuating circumstances — is the delegate more work to the deputy treasurer. “What I did...was push some of the work on to the deputy treasurer which I don’t think was done before that. But that couldn’t be done this year,” he said, adding that even now he’s in the position of not having a deputy treasurer at all. The former deputy treasurer Lyle McNish, it was recently announced, had accepted a job in Prince Rupert. A replacement has not been announced.
labour negotiations for three months and then through the strike action for another three months...basically it took him out of the picture for six months,” said Christiansen. In addition he did not have his usual staff to do budget reconcilliations. The ministry has set a new target date of August 7 for the documents but it will be the fall before anything actually arrives to them. After reconcilliation in August, the District will have to conduct an audit on the numbers, which won’t produce the required documents until October, said Christiansen. “That’s not what the ministry wants but

Record breaking Marlins in Victoria Submitted The Kitimat Marlins swim club had three swimmers in attendance for the BC AAA Long course (50 meter pool) swimming championships in Victoria. The B.C. championships had 720 of the best swimmers from around B.C. and the Yukon in attendance. Only three of the six Marlins who qualified for the meet were in attendance due to the Kitimat pool closure. The three who attended all have made big sacrifices since April. They all moved to other communities and swim clubs to continue their training away from their families and changing schools. Zachary Dumas had his most successful swim meet ever. He competed in the boys 14-15 category. In the 400 meter individual medley Dumas achieved his second Canadian age group national time and broke the 22-year-old Northwest regional record for 15 and over boys held by former B.C. record holder in breaststroke John Stamhuis, by shaving one second off the record. In the final Dumas shaved another three seconds off the time and achieved his first ever AAA provincial medal a bronze. His time is currently the fourth fastest time in Canada for his age group. Dumas was not content with just that, he also broke the regional record in the 1500 meter freestyle shaving five seconds off the old record held by Marlins alumni Kyler Corderio from 2012. It was also Dumas’ third Canadian age group national
time which fully qualifies him to attend age group nationals later this month. Dumas finished seventh in the event. Dumas also made the A final (top eight) in the 200 fly with a
fifth place finish and two B final results (finals for 9-16 placing), tenth place finishes in the 200 IM and 400 freestyle. Kleanza Cathers competing in the 14/15 girls category
swam to personal best times in four out of five events and made the B final in four events. She swam to an 11th place finish in the 400 free, 12th place in the 400 IM, 13th in the
200 free and 14th in the 800 free. Alivia Soares also competed in the 14/15 girls division. Soares had her best result in the 400 IM finishing 22nd in a personal best time.
