MK Bay Marina loses safety appeal
Cameron Orr The MK Bay Marina has lost an appeal to WorkSafeBC (WSBC) over penalties relating to available safety equipment such as ladders. However it wasn’t all bad, as the marina had a re-calculation on their fee. The prior fee of $39,708.23 was based on the payroll of the entire Regional District of Kitimat Stikine - the body who operates the facility - but now it will only be based on the payroll of the marina itself. That new figure wasn’t immediately known. There were a number of arguments by the marina on the reported violations, from the authority of WSBC to respond to matters at the marina to the definition of the word “dock”. However WSBC review officer Bruce Scott shot down all those arguments. This entire process relates back to a January 2012 incident in which an employee at the marina fell into the water while clearing snow with a snowblower, the WSBC review decision states. “According to the worker, he backed into the bullrail and fell,” it continues. “He was able to place his leg over a buoy attached to the bullrail and hoist himself back onto the dock.” One point of argument by the regional district - the named employer in the report - was that sections of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations don’t apply to the marina because section 24.2 specifically applies to “docks”, regarding placement of ladders, and not other structures. The definitions are not quite clear in the regulations and it appears that the word “dock” is not used interchangeably with other structures. But WSBC found that with no specific definition in the regulations, common usage must apply. The reviewing officer eventually concludes that the term “dock” can include all floating structures. The marina’s own website also describes the facility as having “modern concrete docks.” Other suggestions, such as WSBC having no jurisdiction due to the fact that the marina’s operations would make it fall under federal authority, didn’t fly for the review. As well, the actual placement of ladders was argued to create risks for mooring ships, but the officer found that there can be design considerations that would alleviate that concern. “My conclusion...is that there has been more focus on whether the Board [WSBC] has jurisdiction to deal with the issue of ladders at a marina than there has been about potentials solutions,” Scott writes. Due to schedules the Sentinel couldn’t immediately reach the regional district’s administrator or the marina’s manager. The District of Kitimat’s representative to the regional district, Corinne Scott, was available and weighed in on the decisions. Continued on page 6

Port announcement baffles An announcement released March 18 from Transport Canada notes steps being taken towards improved tanker safety off B.C.’s coast. But the one item that has everyone talking is a line-item that reads; “Public port designations: More ports will be designated for traffic control measures, starting with Kitimat.” The idea of turning Kitimat from a private port — as it advertises itself — to a public one has raised eyebrows among the District of Kitimat. Little is known about the process of turning the port public, and Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan said that she
only has questions so far, no answers. “We don’t know the ramifications of taxation, we don’t know any of those things,” said Monaghan. She said that if it does work out to improved safety on the water it could be a plus for the community, but she is concerned with the lack of consultation with the District on this proposed change. A backgrounder to Transport Canada’s release states, “The Government of Canada will designate Kitimat as a public port under the Canada Marine Act. This designation will allow the port to put in place better traffic control measures to facilitate the safe movement of vessels.
A national risk assessment will help to identify other ports for this designation as well.” “As a trading nation, Canada depends on marine shipping for economic growth, jobs and long-term prosperity,” said Canada’s Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver in the release last week. “There will be no pipeline development without rigorous environmental protection measures and the tanker safety initiatives we are announcing today are an important aspect of our plan for Responsible Resource Development.” Oliver was in Terrace last week.

Local briefs Baker fire A house fire brought out emergency crews to Baker Street on the evening of March 19. Just before 7 p.m., 12 firefighters, with two engines, one ladder truck and one ambulance converged at the home and Fire Chief Trent Bossence said one woman was found unconscious at the scene. The resident was taken to the Kitimat General Hospital for health problems related to smoke inhalation. Bossence said the investigation into the cause of the blaze is done but it could not conclusively find a cause, but that it did begin in a bedroom. The fire itself was contained to just one room, with smoke and heat damage to the main floor of the home.
Whittlesey Meanwhile, the cause of the housefire on Whittlesey Street from March 2 has also come back inconclusive. Kitimat’s fire chief said an electrician was called in to look a few things over but in the end it was determined to not have been an electrical fire. That leaves few other leads to conclude on what actually caused the fire to break out.
City Centre walkways focus for this year Councillors have directed staff to receive input from the town’s Persons with Disabilities Commission in regards to the 2013 Walkway Plan which will see significant work in the City Centre area. The town’s engineering and planning departments presented their vision for 2013 at a recent Committee of the Whole, which includes the straightening of pathways extending from the front of the post office, plus the addition of paver stones towards the sidewalk facing the parking lot next to the museum. The walkway project itself comes with a budget of $330,000 and staff has worked with the Downtown Design Panel in settling on their plans. Councillors approved the plan, as well as additional costs of $35,000, which covers a shortfall that couldn’t be bridged by both the recreation department and the planning department’s own reserves. That extra money will go to walkway paver extensions, intersections, and additional lighting, with a total project cost of $405,000, with
a $75,000 shortfall, before the injection of funds from Recreation and Planning. In addition to straightening out of some of the curves, other nearby walkways will be restored back to proper condition, and lighting and new garbage containers will be added to the plan. The major concerns raised by councillors refered to accessibility, with council’s representative on the Disabled Commission Edwin Empinado asking how that had been addressed. Technical Services Manager Wayne Sussbauer said that a curb will be redone as well for accessibility, while all current and future walkway works will include wheelchair accessible curbs which will be entirely flush with the connecting road way. An additional motion to the discussion, which passed unanimously, was that District staff investigate methods to compel and encourage businesses to also comply with the town’s standards for walkways.
Man charged in brutal assault on hotel owner Cameron Orr The RCMP say that 31-year-old Daniel Charles Rinquinha was arrested in connection to a brutal assault that left the owner of the Kitimat Hotel in serious condition. Police say the male, formerly of Kitimat and now a resident of Alberta, has been charged with aggravated assault. At around 5:30 a.m. on March 17, police and ambulance were called to a report of an unconscious woman laying outside of the Kitimat Hotel. Witnesses at the scene directed the RCMP north from the hotel where people say the suspect allegedly ran into a wooded area. RCMP officers used foot prints in the snow to track the suspect down and he was quickly apprehended. Rinquinha was in custody how-
ever he was released on March 21 on a $15,000 cash bail put up by his family. He’s under conditions not to be in Kitimat. The 50-year-old victim was taken to the hospital for treatment of severe head trauma and broken facial bones, and she remains in hospital. The RCMP say they would like to speak with anyone with information or more witnesses who have not yet spoken with the police. The local detachment’s number is 250-6327111. At last Monday’s council meeting, staff sergeant Phil Harrison added words of commendation for those who assisted officers that night. “I want to thank the local taxi drivers because they assisted us in apprehending the [suspect],” he said. “I appreciate their help.”

The walkway system in the City Centre area, including in front of the post office shown above, is the focus of this year’s District’s walkway plan.
Asia needs energy. BC has huge reserves of cleaner-burning natural gas. The next step is natural.
Public port Continued from page 1 However the natural resources minister didn’t make it to Kitimat during his visit north, when he announced a point man for First Nations concerns on resource development. Through e-mail, Transport Canada media relations advisor Kelly James explained a bit more about what this change means. “By designating Kitimat as a public port, it brings it under a regulatory regime to put in place better traffic control measures to facilitate the safe movement of vessels,” she wrote. In a later e-mail, she explained that the difference between a private and a public is that a private is “privately owned land, terminals and wharves,” which contrasts to a public as “a body
of water and/or associated federal land that, for regulatory purposes, has been specifically designated as a public port...” Private ports are subject to environmental regulations that apply to land, and ships are subject to regular navigational rules in the harbour. A public port, though, is subject to port traffic control as they are under the administration of the Minister of Transport. Designating a port as public would entail consultation with stakeholders like the District and users, she added. Rio Tinto Alcan’s Communication and External Relations Manager Colleen Nyce said that they too are seeking clarification on how, or if, they may be affected by this change.
Asia’s fast-growing economies require new sources of energy. BC’s natural gas could create high-paying jobs and generate government revenues, while providing people in both BC and Asia with cleaner-burning energy. Canadian natural gas – fuelling the BC economy and contributing to global economic growth. The answer is natural. ™

Cheers to the old days and the new This weekend is the 60th anniversary of Kitimat. It was incorporated on March 31, 1953. And I think birthday celebrations like these are very fun, especially as it makes me reflect on the ways this town has grown on me since I first moved here. Oddly enough the month of March is my own Kitimat anniversary, the month I moved back in 2012. But moving back in 2012 was a whole lot different then when I actually first moved to Kitimat in 2007. The town was a different place then. I had come to town in the wake of the closure of Methanex, and coasted in just as the whole power sales issue was coming to a head. All in all, it was confusing time to be a new resident. It may have been a more challenging integration process for me if the people here weren’t so kind and pleasant. Economically the town just plugged away, but the people themselves were, and still are, very endearing. As a cub reporter fresh out of post-secondary, it was very helpful to me. That community spirit is what helped draw me back after I had left for Smithers for two years. All in all, Kitimat is just a really easy town to like. When I moved back in 2012, I firmly planted my stake in the ground, buying a home knowing full well I’ll, gladly, be here awhile. Today, the people of Kitimat are still among the friendliest people I’ve ever known, and optimism is growing. The idea that this community will grow, that there will be jobs and that things will, in general, come here is widespread. Not only are people happy, there’s generally a reason for them to be. Just looking downtown, there are new and coming shops to keep our money spent locally. So, at 60 years, the town seems to be in a good and exciting place. And to celebrate, there will be events throughout the year and, of course, cake this Sunday. No celebration would be complete without it. So, as a new resident, and perhaps a future oldtimer (at what point do I start claiming that distinction?), I want to wish Kitimat a very happy birthday. You’ve been good to me, and all the best for the next 60 years. Cameron Orr
Fearless election predictions As British Labour Party prime minister Harold Wilson famously said, a week is a long time in politics. So by that standard I would normally be chancing my arm trying to predict the outcome of the provincial election seven weeks ahead of polling day. Normally. But this time only the most diehard and delusional - Liberal would anticipate anything other than a New Democrat victory. The Liberal death spiral began with the HST fiasco, an extraordinary episode even for British Columbia where a government was returned to power and then almost immediately committed political suicide. It steepened when, following the resignation of premier Gordon Campbell, the Liberal party members declined an opportunity to repair the damage and voted for Christy Clark as its new leader/premier. While the terminally enthusiastic Clark has a winning smile and looks better in a hard hat than any politician I’ve ever seen, it didn’t take long for voters to discover there wasn’t a lot going on under that head gear. And the opinion polls have faithfully chronicled her descent into the abyss. So, the question is not who wins but by how much. I don’t expect a repeat of the near obliteration of the NDP in 2001 or
near 1,900. But Coons has decided to call it a day and the New Democrats have given the nod to Jennifer Rice. Coons appeared to do a good job representing his riding, especially on big ticket issues such as BC Ferries. by Malcolm Baxter So there could be some slippage of msdbax@citywest.ca votes that belonged to him. Plus Rice has a history of annihilation of the Socreds a decade earlier: it just doesn’t have the same feel. working for environmental groups that By my count there are 15 seats have had a nasty habit of opposing where the Liberal margin of victory last economic development, something time was less than 10 per cent and it’s Prince Rupert, like all the Northwest, pretty much a gimme all those are going would welcome. That said, she should win handily NDP. And I would expect the Libs to lose but I’ll be interested to see the margin. Which takes us to Skeena where about half the seats where the margin was 11-20 per cent = eight, give or take. Robin Austin is seeking the hattrick. Here I am going to be looking for So take those 23 seats, add it to the 35 that were NDP last time and you have how many people even voted. To explain, in 2005 Austin unseated my fearless prediction: the NDP will win one-term Liberal Roger Harris by 359 58 seats. Much easier to predict are the three votes. In 2009 Austin’s vote dropped by Northwestern ridings: all are NDP today 301 but at the same time his majority shot up to more than 1,500. and will be on May 15. That’s because the Lib vote crashed The Stikine riding was newly created in 2009 when Doug Donaldson beat out by 2,000. Since that election the Eurocan pulp Liberal Scott Groves. The margin of victory was only 445, slim enough to and paper mill in Kitimat closed with the give the Libs hope in a normal year - but loss of more than 500 jobs with a good number of those employees leaving town as I said, this isn’t one of those. On the North Coast Gary Coons and taking their NDP votes with them. Austin also faces a tougher opponent unseated Liberal incumbent Bill Belsey in 2005 by just short of 1,700. Four this time in Carol LeClerc. None of that will change the result years later and facing a credible Liberal opponent in former Prince Rupert mayor - an Austin victory - but I suspect his Herb Pond, he increased that margin to majority will be sharply reduced.

Lessons to keep learning from Easter From the Pulpit Redeemer Lutheran Church
the religious leaders were worried that some of this man’s followers might tamper with the body. The Gospel of Luke tells us that on the first day of the week (Sunday) a group of women followers went up to anoint Jesus’ body with spices, but when they got there, they found that the stone had been rolled away and the guards were nowhere in sight. Instead two angels are there who spoke to the women reminding them that Jesus had said, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law and must be killed, and on the third day be raised to life.” These women were the first people to see and understand that Jesus is who
He said He is, the Son of God who came to pay the price of our sin on the cross as our substitute; so that all who through the leading of the Holy Spirit repent of their sins and believe on Him as their Lord and Savior are forgiven and promised a resurrection to eternal life just like His.

for those who chose to defy? Having such a disregard for life for such a simple requirement makes no sense. As a ratepayer and user of MK Bay Marina I will be looking for serious action to come from the board of directors who have the duty to oversee this Regional District service. Safety is everyone’s responsibility. Cheating death is a manner of luck and luck does run out. I am very thankful that no one has lost their life for such foolish defiance. Victor Lick.
KITIMAT UNDERSTANDING THE ENVIRONMENT
What is the cost of a life? Priceless. Now the ratepayers are going to have to pick up the legal expenses and fine and all associated costs with this case. The final cost will be in the tens of thousands of dollars for a defiance of the most simple of requirements around water: life rings and re-boarding ladders. The WSBC orders will still have to be met, at a fraction of costs for defiance, or further fines will be coming. Who will be held accountable for such wilful lack of compliance? Will there be consequences

Dear Sir, With the results of a second appeal to WorksafeBC (WSBC) finally in the Regional District of Kitimat Stikine has lost its appeal. They have put the lives of its employees first and patrons second, despite at least one case of a worker for the MK Bay Marina falling into the frigid waters of the Douglas Channel, luckily escaping without serious consequence. Also with five years of noncompliance of orders by WSBC the RDKS chose to defy rather than comply.

Luke 24:5, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here but risen.” You’ve likely heard that old saying; “There’s nothing in this life that is certain except death and taxes.” Well, it is ironic that in Canada we usually do our taxes the same month as Easter; ironic because the message of Easter shows the “Death and taxes” statement to be false. Let’s explore that a bit further. Approximately 2,000 years ago there was a Jewish carpenter named Jesus who was crucified by the Romans. Crucifixion was common in those days. It was particularly brutal to be a

$100,000 for doctors willing to relocate north The B.C. government and the B.C Medical Association are offering doctors a $100,000 bonus to relocate to selected rural communities for three years. That includes Kitimat, as well as nearby Hazelton, Burns Lake, Chetwynd and Tumbler Ridge will also benefit from this program. One doctor for each community will receive the bonus. Quesnel will receive the funding bonus for an internal medicine internist, and Terrace is funded for one anaesthesiologist. In the Interior Health Authority, Princeton and Clearwater are funded for two general practitioners each, and Nakusp gets one. Cranbrook is funded for one anesthesiologist. In Vancouver Coastal region, one general practitioner each is funded for Bella Coola and Pemberton. In the Vancouver Island Health Authority, Port Hardy is funded for two general practitioners and Port Alberni gets the only emergency physician provided for in the program. Tofino and Galiano Island are funded for one general practitioner each. The latest incentive is on top of a program to forgive student debt for doctors who will set up a medical practice outside urban areas, and other inducements to graduating and foreign doctors to venture outside large cities. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid and BCMA president Dr. Shel-

Board members will soon have more power to have a hand on decisions regarding the marina though.

Eligible doctors will get $50,000 up front and the rest after one year, with repayment required if they don’t stay for three years. The Chair of the Kitimat Health Advocacy Group Rob Goffinet said he is also pleased with this additional funding. “With events happening here we can see the future will have openings for new physicians,” he said. He said the money will help doctors in Kitimat because if they want to open an office it will take a substantial investment. “This definitely will help because it will highlight there is some front money that will allow that doctor to set up a practice here.”

KITIMAT’S FIRST COUNCIL - KITIMAT INCORPORATED MARCH 31, 1953 Above, Kitimat’s first council from 1953. Below, an excerpt from the Kitimat Townsite Report, assembled by Clarence Stein, the designer of Kitimat. Above, photo provided by Kitimat Museum & Archives, Northern Sentinel Collection.
Kitimat, the town without people The unique story of incorporation and the early days
Here we are. On Sunday, Kitimat turns 60. That is 60 years from the date of incorporation, March 31, 1953. Kitimat has come a long way, from Alcan’s muddy work camp to a muddy town site to the fully paved community we know today. (People seemed to emphasize the mud in our research.) To get a sense of how far we’ve come, we should look at what the town was really like back in 1953, when the roads were mud, and the walkway system that’s an icon of the community was nothing more than lengthy planks of wood. Kitimat has the distinction of being B.C.’s first community which was incorporated without any actual residents. Houses would be built in short order but when incorporation took place no one actually lived in the town. A public auction by Alcan got the ball rolling for home lots. As many know, the town itself was designed by a man named Clarence Stein, and the weather played a role in why Kitimat is so unique. “Because of the climate - it snows, it rains quite a bit in the community - they wanted to build a town that would be appealing for people to actually come and live in,” said Kitimat Museum and Archives’ Assistant Curator Angela Eastman. “They decided they would plan the community with the help of Clarence S. Stein.” Continued on page 13

Off the boat into the 20th century town Cameron Orr What was any 20-year-old woman supposed to say when the boat pulled in to Alcan’s dock in 1954, a sea of men on shore waiting to see the new arrivals. “Oh my God,” seems a reasonable choice. That was what long-time resident Hilda Prause said her reaction was to seeing Kitimat for the first time. After five months apart from her husband Tom, an early employee of Alcan, she arrived in March to the new community, just about at its one year anniversary of incorporation. She was on the boat with two other ladies, and by sea was the only way to get into the town, except for a flight on a float plane. The highway connecting Kitimat and Terrace was still a few years off. “It was ‘Oh my God, where am I? I’m in the wilderness,’” Prause recalls. “There’s no paved roads. There was mud all over the place.” It was a drastic change from her life in the urban landscape of Vancouver. No roads, little shopping, and men as far as the eye could see. “I will never forget that day,” she said, remembering that it was pouring rain (she used the word pouring three times in a row.) Her husband lived in bunkhouses behind the Hudson Bay Company store — the only source to get, at time questionable, groceries — and she was able to stay
in a house on the hill owned by, she said, a man named Mr. Whitehead. Prause and her husband couldn’t immediately move in to their new house on Oriole Street, because it wasn’t built yet. It would be ready shortly though, and they were eager to have a house of their own. “We didn’t have water connected yet,” she said about when they did eventually move in. Alcan would bring up large garbage containers worth of water, some to use for the toilet and some for cleaning. “It was very pioneer,” she said. “And furniture, well, we had apple boxes for night tables.” Luxuries like running water would continue to add up. Telephone would eventually come to connect people to the outside world, a welcome complement to the radio. Prause still has Kitimat’s first phone book, a two page brochure of names and two-digit numbers. At that time two people could have the same phone number, and whether the phone rang once or twice would determine who it was for. Prause won’t deny that she didn’t at time listen in on others’ calls. Workers in the new town would pile into a large station wagon vehicle and carpool to the smelter for work, and it was the same way women could get down to the store to do shopping. The Hudson Bay Company was, at that

She believes she and her husband were the fourth couple to have moved on to Oriole Street, which was one of the very first streets created in Kitimat. So living in a new house, on a muddy street (paving wouldn’t happen for at least a year), with
Young couple meets Kitimat He was only going to be here for five years. She would have hopped the next flight out if she had the money. And 59 years later, they can’t think of any other place they’d rather be. Such is the interesting story of Rolf and Joan Leibach, who in 1954 were a young couple with aspirations to one day get away from the newly incorporated
mud puddle in northern B.C. Born in Germany, Rolf held many jobs in Canada and Alaska before being hired to Alcan in July 1954, when he moved into the Anderson Creek work camp, where a wood frame about a hip’s height would give way to tenting, a breezy housing solution. He began as a pot room spare — which is said meant just know-
ing how to use a broom — before moving into casting as a crane operator, and later was a
planner before his retirement in the early 90s. Continued on page 15

little contact to the outside world must have been tortuous for the city girl. Except it wasn’t. “It was wonderful,” she said about living on the street. “We were all a big family.” They’d have regular, large parties every week. Prause has a
scrapbook full of old photos of the Oriole Street gang, hanging out in someone’s home, partaking in games and perhaps a little of their weekly allowance of alcohol. (Families could only have so much because it was delivered by plane once a week.) Continued on page 16

Year to be filled with celebration How exciting to be here for Kitimat’s diamond anniversary. On March 31, this little town turns 60, or at least that’s when it became incorporated. Kitimat is a very unique town, designed from the ground up in a very specific way. It’s had it’s ups and downs, but as it celebrates its birthday the community is going to go all-out. The real thrust of celebrations will take place on Kitimat’s birthday-proper March 31. It promises to be a busy day. Throughout the afternoon there will be free access at both the Riverlodge Recreation Centre and the Tamitik Jubilee Sports Complex, which includes free open gym, swimming and skating. Also don’t forget to have a piece of the birthday cake at either facility. A day’s worth of family activities will conclude with a fireworks display at 9 p.m. at the Riverlodge. But that’s really only the beginning. Working quietly behind the scenes is a 60th Anniversary Committee who have organized a year’s worth of 60th anniversary celebration. For instance keep an eye out on Canada Day for the 60th Anniversary float, a special tribute
to six decades of Kitimat. Students are also being reached out to, and those with a Spielbergflair will be invited to submit a short video about life in Kitimat. Prizes will go to the top voted films and depending on the num-
ber of submissions there may be a special film screening at Mount Elizabeth Theatre. In late July there will be two nights of outdoor movies at the Riverlodge Soccer Field (Tamitik Arena if there is rain). There
are also planned heritage hikes around town. The year of celebrations will conclude in October when Kitimat’s top and notable citizens will be recognized at a special event.

Congratulations Kitimat on this 60th year! We are proud to be a part of the community past, present and future.
Houses were all flipped Continued from page 7 Stein subscribed to the idea of designing a community with a lot of green space, a lot of parks and sidewalks, so children wouldn’t have to cross the road to go to school. The plan would also call for neighbourhood grocery stores, churches, and lots of elementary schools for a growing population. “The first area that was constructed was Neighbourhood A, or Nechako,” said Eastman. Stein would hire a company called Mayer and Whittlesey to implement the town plan and to work out some other details of construction. Kildala’s construction would begin shortly after. “The interesting thing about Stein’s plan is that he inverted all of the streets and houses to maximize sun and wind so you would get more sunshine during the day and the wind wouldn’t be as intense,” said Eastman. “It meant that a lot of the houses were actually flipped so that the front door was actually facing the green space, and back door faced the street.” For the most part, all the homes that would be built in town were pre-fabricated. The parts brought up by barge and constructed on site. The town would remain fairly insular until the highway to Terrace opened in 1957. The CN Rail station officially opened in 1955

In 1949, McElhanney began work in Kitimat, four years prior to the town's official incorporation. Due to the company's reputation for survey capability on large industrial projects, McElhanney was engaged by the Aluminum Company of Canada (Alcan) to provide control and construction surveys for one of the most ambitious engineering projects in Canada to date—the creation of a world-class aluminum smelter in Kitimat and a 750,000HP hydroelectric power generation plant in Kemano. Between 1949 and 1953, McElhanney was tasked with surveying the route for the 16km water tunnel, through extremely rugged terrain, as well as the twin penstocks, the powerhouse, the proposed Kenney dam site, the smelter site, marine facilities, the Kitimat and Kemano town sites, all proposed roads and rail lines between Terrace and Kitimat, and the transmission line between Kitimat and Kemano. Astonishing accuracies were achieved for the 16km tunnel, even before the days of modern electronic survey equipment.
A History of Excellence Proud to have contributed to the development of Kitimat
Over the next 60 years, this early project would play a pivotal role in the growth and development of both McElhanney and Kitimat. McElhanney continued to be involved in several major developments within the region, including the Kemano Completion Project in 1988; the Cablecar Subdivision Water Main Extension in 2004; and a transmission line tower replacement in 2007. Established in Vancouver in 1910, McElhanney opened its first branch office in Terrace in 1967, the first of five locations serving Northern BC. Today, the company has 25 locations across Canada and in Indonesia, including Kitimat, Prince George, Prince Rupert, Smithers, and Terrace.

Now back to the future
Hilda Prause Continued from page 8 Families would sometimes be able to make it down to the Alcan site and see a movie at the recreation centre, attend dances, and there was a basketball court as well. “The rec centre was nothing fancy but Alcan did everything they possibly could to entertain the men and also some of the ladies,” she said. But overall the entertainment “was just visiting families, raising children,” she said. Every so often the women would be invited for a steak dinner on Sunday nights
Library posting history The Kitimat Public Library will be contributing some town history of it’s own. They say that by March 31 they’ll post to their website — kitimatpubliclibrary. org — a history of the town written by Hugh Meldum, which was donated to the library in the past. The collection is called Honestly It Happened, Events in the Lives of the Pioneers of the Aluminum Company of Canada’s Kitimat Pioneers. The stories cover the time from 1951 to 1954. Meanwhile the library continues to maintain a database of newspapers dating to 1954. Available is Northern Sentinel (1954-2011), the Weekend Advertiser (from 1995-2005), The Ingot (1954-1985, and 2003-2010), and the News Advertiser (1980-1995).
but she remembers the women all sticking together on one table. It could get hectic when the men starting filling the hall. She said it was nothing in particular about Kitimat that she ended up liking so much, rather it was a community that grew on her as time went by. Her two children were born at the hospital on the beach, and the town’s access to the outdoors sat well
with her husband. Sure there were challenges. Their first holiday out of town meant loading up their car onto a train and travelling to Prince George before being able to drive the rest of the way to Vancouver. And some questionable advice about the opening of the highway to Kitimat on their return meant some dicey conditions in the mud, but it remains a town she loves.
So that was 60 years. From our muddy streets to the rich vibrant town we know today, it’s been an interesting ride through time. But what of our next 60 years? Will things continually look up? Is there grandness in our future? Well, very likely in fact. The headlining project in Kitimat right now has to be the Kitimat Modernization Project, which involves rebuilding the Rio Tinto Alcan aluminum smelter. Once the project wraps up it is said to add around 60 or more years to the life of the smelter. It’s a serendipitous time for such a rebuild, considering the community only formed in the 1950s because of the construction of the smelter. In a sense it’s like the community has come
full circle, to the start of a new cycle of life. But RTA isn’t the only show in town. There is interest to start exporting liquefied natural gas from our shores, projects that will add diversity to Kitimat’s portfolio and unknown other sidebenefits if they all go through. In all the interest in Kitimat is in the billions of dollars. Yet from the stories we’ve told in these pages this week, a lot of the value of work in Kitimat comes from the people. There are interesting people in this town, many who came for the purpose of finding work, but found a lot more in this valley. All this means that perhaps in another 60 years we’ll be telling new stories, but with the same punchline: we came for work, but we just couldn’t leave.
Congratulations Kitimat

That all changed in 1882, however, when Edward Johnson, an associate of Thomas Edison, made the first string of electric Christmas tree lights. He hand-wired 80 red, white and blue bulbs and wound them around a Christmas tree. Few people noticed, though, until 13 years later when President Grover Cleveland had the White House tree decorated with electric lights. Christmas tree lights have come a long way since the 17th century.

At top, the Kitimat Ice Demons face the Williams Lake Stampeders in the Coy Cup final on March 16. Below left, an Ice Demon attempts to break away from a Quesnel Kangaroo. And below right, the Demons’ goalie makes a save early in the tournament.
Coy Cup final tightly played The Kitimat Ice Demons blasted ahead in the Coy Cup round robin series with solid and impressive wins, giving them a bye to the finals. From Thursday, they could only watch to see who their eventual competitor would be. That would turn out to be the formidable Williams Lake Stampeders, playing for the fifth time is as many nights. Alas the winning streak for Kitimat ended that night when the Stamps took a 5-1 victory. It was tightly played and tightly ref’ed, but the Stamps came out fast and took the Demons’ game plan out of their hand, getting the opening goal in the first at 7:07 on the power play from Dylan Richardson (Tyler Fuller, Stuart Sasges). Not to be deterred the Ice Demons equalized to 1-1 at the 10 :07 mark of the period when Scott McGregor hefted a high shot over Justin Foote, after he and Jeff Mildenberger, managed to break around the defence on goaltender Justin Foote. Williams Lake pressed back immediately and scored three minutes later, on a nice shot by Francis, (Dave Gore, Jassi Sangha) after Kitimat defenceman was held up in the end, allowing Johnston to liberate the puck and get in on Tommy Mildenberger. Dave Gore increased the lead to two goals three minutes after that when Jassi Sangha won
a footrace to the puck in the corner to a Francis Johnson clearance, beating the icing call and hooking the puck into the crease, Mildenberger got some of the shot, but could not keep it out. The first period ended early after David Venman was injured in the board check by Francis Johnson. He left the ice under his own power after the stretcher was brought out but did not come back. The Stampeders added a goal in the second, from Dylan Richardson (Dave DeBeer) and one in the third from Nathan Zurak (Stu Sasges, Brent McIsaac.) The Stamps then trapped, flipped the puck out and played a solid defensive game as time ticked down. Kitimat had chances but nothing seemed to be working well, especially the power play, as the Stamps did take eight minors to Kitimat’s four. It was a pretty clean, if hard-played game. Shots in the game were Ice Demons 30 and the Stampeder 32, but the Stampeders had the better scoring opportunities and were able to capitalize. Game star aluminum pucks went to the Stamps’ Francis Johnson, who scored the winning goal and Kitimat defender Jeff Mildenberger who logged a lot of minutes in the tournament.
