$20,000 raised in only three days

Wednesday, March 16, 2016

1.30 INCLUDES TAX

Shannon Lough In a short time, community support for a young commercial fisherman who was recently diagnosed with cancer demonstrates the incredible generosity of people on the North Coast. In only three days after a GoFundMe page was set up for Cody Scheureman by his girlfriend’s sister, $20,000 was raised by 200 donors. The initial goal was $10,000 to help with the financial burden while Scheureman goes through five months of chemotherapy treatment at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital. But the donations keep rolling in from friends, acquaintances and even strangers. How do I say thank you?, Sheureman said. At only 30 years of age, he was diagnosed with a rare form of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. While he battles the cancer that affects his immune system he is unable to work with his crew who are currently in the south fishing for herring. The story of his diagnosis touched the hearts of many in the small city, where he shares a home with his girlfriend Sam Kasdorf. “My family is blown away because they see it all online. My friends and family who live in Alberta, and who have wondered why I’ve stayed up here so long in this rainy little town, see something like this happen,” Scheureman said trailing off in a loss of words. He doesn’t know where to begin to say thank you to everyone. He grew up in Kitimat, and then his family moved to Alberta. Homesick for the North Coast, he returned to study at the NorthWest Community College 10 years ago. He found a job and stayed. The names of the donors are shown on the Continued on page 9

More than 30,000 comments have been submitted to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency on the draft environmental assessment report for the Pacific NorthWest LNG Project which ends Friday, March 11.

Pacific NW submits new info to CEAA Shannon Lough The have been more than 30,000 comments and new information provided by Pacific NorthWest LNG since the public consultation for the draft environmental report on the proposed Lelu Island project began 29 days ago. “We will be evaluating new information submitted by the proponent in an efficient way that meets our obligations to Canadians, as we do for every major project,” said the Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna in the House of Commons on March 8. The proponent submitted its comments to the minister’s office on March 4 to address some of the environmental concerns that were raised by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) in the draft report. The deadline for comments on the environmental report ends March 11 and then the final decision whether or not to approve the LNG project will rest with McKenna. The first document from the proponent addresses the

CEAA’s conclusion that the project will have significant adverse affects on the harbour porpoise. Pacific NorthWest’s letter to McKenna, sent via email, states that the information in the “Marine Mammal Program Interim Report” was delivered on an interim basis and it was not the final report.

”

CEAA came to its conclusion was not satisfactory with the proponent. “Project environmental effects must be assessed in isolation from effects caused by existing and future activities, other than those associated with the project,” the letter from the proponent states.

We will be evaluating new information submitted by the proponent in an efficient way that meets our obligations to Canadians

In the final report, the proponent found through data collection and habitat suitability modelling that there is an alternative habitat available for the harbour porpoise and “the project is not likely to result in a significant adverse effect to the harbour porpoise,” the letter states. Another letter sent to the minister addresses the CEAA’s analysis of how the LNG project would have significant greenhouse gas emissions causing adverse environmental effects. How the

The CEAA’s draft environmental impact statement found that the nature of greenhouse gas emissions are cumulative with climate change happening globally. “These findings are incapable of supporting the conclusion that the project will likely cause significant adverse environmental effects as a result of it’s GHG emissions.” Pacific NorthWest LNG suggests other amendments to the CEAA draft report, such as how storm water runoff from the LNG plant will be

collected to avoid contamination. Other nitty gritty amendments to the draft include adding seasonal temperature averages in Prince Rupert and semantics, such as adding “calm” to describe the winds that occur on Holland Rock. The public process is transparent, and all new information from the proponent and the 30,000 public comments are available to view online. “Once the report is finalized, all information will be provided to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change to help inform her determination as to whether the project is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects,” said Karen Fish, the communications adviser to the CEAA in an email. Fish also confirmed that a day before that public consultation process ended there were some in-person comments submitted to the agency.

$9 million for Tsimshian Roundtable to build industry workforce By: Shannon Lough Whether the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry develops on the North Coast or not, the B.C. government has committed to spending $9 million dollars on Tsimshian people for skills training. The provincial funding is over three years and will be handed over to the Tsimshian Roundtable, a partnership between six First Nations communities in the Tsimshian Alliance, and LNG proponents. The organization came together two years ago to make sure Tsimshian people benefit from proposed LNG projects in the area by making sure a workforce is prepared for when the industry does decide to develop in the province. Gitxaala Chief Clifford White co-chairs the roundtable with Simon Nish, the vice president at BG Group. “It’s a coordinated approach

Gitxaala, Kitselas and Kitsumkalum Nations. White said the group has been working with unions, the province and the LNG proponents to make sure 25 per cent of the work force is apprentice related and of that number 50 per cent of the apprenticeships or trades will be available for First Nations. The funding isn’t just for skilled trades. The workforce that the Tsimshian Roundtable plans to build includes short-term occupations with little training, such as cleaners, to long-term positions that require more train-

by the Tsimshian communities, first of all, seeing how training can be provided through each of the communities without major duplication,” White said adding a hypothetical example where each community might train 12 millwrights, totalling 72 trained but there are only positions for 30 millwrights. “We want to make sure that we’re not all training for the same trade, and making sure that our people have those opportunities,” he said. The Tsimshian Alliance is made up of the Metlakatla, Lax Kw’alaams, Gitga’at,

ing, such as doctors, lawyers, financiers and supervisors. The provincial government invested $1.2 million in May 2015 for a similar purposes — to fund the Aboriginal skills trade program, Pathways to Success, in Prince Rupert and Terrace. Since that time, the provincial government announced in a press release that the program has resulted in setting up more than 180 Tsimshian women and men with jobs in customer service, construction and environmental monitoring with an average wage

of $18.75 an hour. B.C. Premier Christy Clark announced the $9 million in new funding on Tuesday, March 8. “We have three things we’ve got to do. We’ve got to connect with the private sector, figure out what those jobs are, then we’ve got to work with First Nations and figure out what their aspirations as individuals are, and then we have to connect them through the appropriate training,” Clark said. Each First Nations community is evaluating its own members and how they should be trained and educated to meet the immediate needs within the community themselves, Clifford said. Some communities will continue on Pathways to Success program. Despite the waiting game for a final investment decision from at least one of the LNG proponents, Clark said the

Climate action useful for emissions reduction A plan to get funding for residents, businesses and municipal governments who reduce emissions was proposed to the District of Kitimat last week. Though there were not enough town councillors present at the council meeting to make the presentation official (no quorum), Kitimat CAO Warren Waycheshen said the information was timely. District planning and economic development staff joined a conference call to discuss local government climate action with the province yesterday, March 15,

and Waycheshen said he would bring forward the ideas presented last week. The ideas came from Thornhill resident Martin Holzbauer, who said that all parties — residents, businesses, municipalities and the provincial government — would benefit from a few changes to the incentives in the Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program. The program offers conditional grants to municipalities for reducing their carbon footprint and is up for public review until March 25. “All the local gov-

ernments [should] ask to expand the program to give the same benefit of a rebate for anybody who reduces [emissions]. People, businesses that reduce [could] also have a dollar amount given to them and the same dollar amount to the municipal government where the reduction occurred,” Holzbauer proposed. “This way, B.C. may meet their 2020 emissions reduction target.” He said that B.C. is not doing well in climate action compared to other provinces and areas, and should use carbon tax money more

for efforts to reduce emissions. He added that the effects would benefit everyone and bring more local investments in clean-energy projects, local jobs, emissions reductions, better air quality, and more funding for municipal governments. It would also benefit the province through tax revenue from local investments, energy-savings, and less emissions. Mayor Phil Germuth and CAO Waycheshen thanked Holzbauer for his ideas to pursue an expanded incentive program to

include people and businesses. “You can’t argue with his points,” said Waycheshen. “We can only measure the municipal and only get the credit for municipal reductions.” “It’s definitely a point that we will be bringing forward [in the conference call with the provincial government],” he said. Waycheshen said that district staff are joining the conference call to hear input from other communities before they determine whether or not they will formally submit input on the climate action plan.

Gas relief It’s time for the provincial government to address the home heating inequity faced by natural gas users from Vanderhoof west to the coast. For years northwestern customers of Pacific Northern Gas have been paying more to heat their homes with natural gas than anywhere else because the large industries which once used the majority of the capacity of the utility’s pipeline have disappeared, leaving the remaining customers to shoulder the entire burden of maintaining the line. That would have changed had the Douglas Channel LNG project at Kitimat gone ahead because it would have taken up all of that surplus capacity and paid its share accordingly. With that project now shelved, northwesterners will continue paying delivery rates easily three times what they are elsewhere in B.C. The province has a ready-made tool to deal with this inequity. As part of its revenue-neutral carbon tax policy, the standard $570 homeowner grant currently increases to as much as $770 for northern and rural residents depending upon where they live. It is a partial recognition that they pay more for energy because of where they live. It would be more than reasonable to increase that amount specifically for northwesterners because of high natural gas delivery rates. With the May 2017 provincial election not that far away, it is a stance voters should urge candidates to pursue. Rod Link

Fascinating stories spark interest One of the elements I have enjoyed most about writing the “Under Miscellaneous” column for the last 14 years is simply the opportunity to pass along stories and information that fascinates me. Maybe me alone, but numerous readers over the years have commented favorably on that very thing... On Tuesday (last week) the New York Times covered a “war” in Europe that few people have heard about. It is being waged in the famed Italian wine country of Chianti in Tuscany. The battle field is the vineyards and the enemy is a growing and voracious wildlife -wild boars and deer -- that have been increasingly ravaging the vineyards. People around the world love the dark wines of the region while the animals love to feed on the tender vines and the fruits of the vineyard. The toll is estimated at $11 million to $16 million a year in lost harvest The problem has been caused in recent years by a trebling of the numbers of boar and roe deer. The government has now passed laws to conduct a major cull that will take numbers down

from an estimated 400,000 to a more manageable 150,000 over three years. Traditional hunters, wine farmers and environmentalists have all found elements of the plan to be questionable... Hunters and environmentalists differ on changes to hunting seasons, hunting areas and methods. Vineyard owners have resorted to numerous techniques -- seven foot high wire fences, electric fences and machinery to produce high ultrasonic sound waves that repel animal invaders. Much of the public has concerns about fences impacting the visual beauty of the region as well as increased arming of the hunters. War among humans -- or with hungry wildlife -- is still hell!

----I have a couple of computers, a “smart” phone and even a nice big screen “smart” TV. I have security, anti-virus and antimalware protections on my “devices” - Geez, I hate that word -but I was surprised to find that owners of “smart” TV sets can be hack victims, while using the smart features of the TV when connected to the internet. Not what I wanted to read while scanning the news last week. Of course it is not surprising to many people who have had information stolen through TV-hacking. So I guess it’s wise to treat your TV like your computer. These TVs are a computer, so use the same common sense you would for keeping your laptop safe. It goes without saying, do not visit suspicious websites or click on strange links. And, keep your TV system up-todate.

In the Smeltersite days the goods available to residents were few and essentially limited to the basics. But some of the new residents saw that as an opporunity. Recognising the many fathers working on the project needed to be able to send greeting cards and small gifts to loved ones back home, Malcolm Baxter’s mother Cathy teamed up with friend Clare Wright to set up a home-based business filling that niche. Similarly Ron Burnett’s mother Iona established a thriving women’s clothing business out of her home, #80 Smeltersite - and she counted Cathy among her customers. Having clearly inherited his mother’s entreprenurial spirit, Ron became Kitimat’s first paper boy, securing a Vancouver Sun franchise. After picking up the papers from the Northland dock, Ron would head up to the Mess Hall where hundreds of hungry workers in line for their meals would scoop up his papers. He was invariably sold out and made plenty in tips too. Ron did so well that he was able to finance a trip via Queen Charlotte Airlines from the Alcan Beach seaplane ramp to Vancouver to attend the Commonwealth and Empire Games in 1954 where he witnessed the famous Miracle Mile race in which on the

March 2016 is

National ENGINEERING Month Discover what engineering can offer you! Engineering is more exciting than many think. It is truly all around us. When you drive across a bridge, fly a plane, use a computer or make a cell phone call, you experience the brilliant work of engineers. The results of their work can also be seen in satellites orbiting the Earth, on offshore oil rigs and in tall buildings rising from the world’s metropolitan cities. Canadians can work more efficiently, play more safely and enjoy life more fully, thanks to engineers. Engineers shape our future with forward thinking designs, new technologies and breakthrough developments that haven’t been thought up yet. They prove, each and every day, that anything’s possible. National Engineering Month is the biggest national celebration of engineering excellence, where volunteers in each province and territory host over 500 events that show Canadians how rewarding the career choice can really be. During the month of March, the profession strives to reach out to young Canadians to let them know what an exciting and fun career choice engineering really is. It is an opportunity for youth to learn about many disciplines of engineering, and allow them to see where their skill set and interests are best fitted. Since there are so many areas of engineering, it’s important for students to understand the various things they can do as engineers so they can pick the discipline that truly motivates and excites them the most. National Engineering Month also gives students the opportunity to learn about the remarkable accomplishments Canada’s engineers have made over the years. Be sure to check out this site’s Great Canadian Engineering section to learn things like how engineering work pushes the boundaries of flight and contributes to amazing man-made structures, and the Engineers in Profile section to meet incredible engineers who have been conducting important work like allowing amputees to control their artificial limbs with ease and building earthquake resistant structures. Parents, teachers, students, aspiring engineers and engineers themselves can get involved in exciting National Engineering Month volunteer opportunities. Learn more through this site’s Volunteer Opportunities section. Engineers who get involved can showcase the amazing work they do and Canada’s youth will discover that anything’s possible when it comes to engineering. There is certainly no other profession like it!

There are a large variety of engineering fields to choose from. Aerospace Biomedical Biomechanical Automotive Mechanical Civil Architectural Electrical Computer Robotics Microelectronic Chemical Environmental Materials Science Agricultural Paper Sustainability Design

Engineering Management Systems Industrial Manufacturing Petroleum Geological Nuclear Marine Engineering Physics Photonics Nanotechnology Mining Ceramics Metallurgical Geomatics Project Management

Engineering has affected Canada and the world in many ways. We have listed a few of those ways below.

Engineering Safety and Hockey Without a doubt, hockey is a risky game — players skating, pucks flying, sticks up, boards and super solid ice. Canadian engineers took into consideration the dangerous impact areas of the skull and the areas where injuries occur most often, and developed a comfortable helmet that wouldn’t obstruct vision or hearing. Most importantly, this design allows us to safely play our beloved sport. Trans Canada Highway The Trans-Canada Highway between Victoria, British Columbia and St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador is the world’s longest national highway with a length of 8030 km. That’s over 87,527 football fields! Thanks to the brilliant minds of engineers, the road truly connects Canada and allows visitors to see fascinating Canadian landmarks along the way. CN Tower A trip to Toronto wouldn’t be the same without it! It remains the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere, the signature icon of Toronto’s skyline and a famous symbol of Canada. Each year, it attracts more than two million international visitors, and is even declared as one of the Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Teaching an Artificial Limb to Move Engineers have truly changed the lives of amputees by discovering just how electricity in the body controls artificial limbs. This will mean increased freedom, comfort and mobility for amputees or people born with a defect. The limb actually “learns” to move just the way the wearer wants thanks to small motors in the prosthetic limb. IMAX The IMAX experience is so much more than watching a movie on a massive screen. With flawless sound, and of course funny glasses when watching in 3D, the IMAX system has truly revolutionized the way the entire world experiences the movies. Seeing the problems of past projectors, three young Canadians—Roman Kroitor, Graeme Ferguson and Robert Kerr—knew that they could come up with a better system to watch films. At the time, the challenge was to marry the

film with the projector, a problem other inventors struggled with over the years. After many variations, and chewed up tape, they found the right fit and truly changed the way the world watches movies. The Canadarm One of the most significant advances in space engineering, the Canadarm, measures 15.2 metres in length, and weighs 410 kilograms! One of the Canadarm’s most impressive engineering achievements is its ability to capture a free-flying payload in a zero gravity environment. The slightest contact with an object in space would send it spinning away. Safety is most important in the minds of Spar Aerospace’s (SPAR) engineers, as there is no room for mistakes in space. During more than 50 missions and after 7,000 orbits around the earth, the Canadarm has never malfunctioned. You can see why the Canadarm is one of the greatest Canadian engineering achievements. Transcontinental Railway Canadian engineers truly had their work cut out for them while creating the Transcontinental Railway. The railway’s route linking east and west had its challenges, including going across the Canadian Shield, frequent avalanche zones, three mountain ranges and heavily forested areas. Through well planned construction and the creation of two tunnels – the railway is a great Canadian landmark and a fantastic engineering achievement.
