1.30 INCLUDES TAX

On November 19 a semi truck slid sideways on Highway 37S, between the Kitimat Chamber of Commerce and Kitamaat Village road. Traffic backed up on either side although RCMP allowed smaller vehicles around it along the shoulder. Larger vehicles had to wait for a tow truck to arrive to get the truck out of the way. The RCMP say the driver was attempting to turn around, then jack knifed, with the truck ending up in the ditch, the trailer across the road. A motor vehicle act violation ticket was issued to the driver. The truck was cleared from the road at approximately 11 a.m.

Tom Fletcher Premier Christy Clark set off last Thursday on her fourth trade mission to Asia, after sidestepping questions about the environmental impact of liquefied natural gas export plants on the Kitimat-area environment. A new report from environment group Skeena Wild concludes that if three LNG processing plants are built to burn natural gas for compression and cooling – what the industry calls direct drive – they would use two and a half times more gas than Metro Vancouver. The report calls for modern gas-fired power plants to be built outside the narrow Kitimat Valley to reduce the impact of sulphur dioxide and other pollutants that affect air and water quality. Speaking to reporters at

Vancouver airport, Clark rejected the report’s claim that the government has “tacitly endorsed” the use of direct-drive production of LNG. “The study can’t have final answers on any of that, because they don’t know yet how liquefied natural gas plants will be powered,” Clark said. “We don’t know how many there will be. We’re still in negotiations with the companies about how all that’s going to unfold.” Environment Minister Mary Polak said in an interview that one LNG proposal has applied for an environmental assessment, and two others are in discussions on B.C.’s technical requirements for a permit and how the plants would be powered.

Common assaults up, shoplifting down Cameron Orr October’s police statistics were released to council and the public on November 18, showing 383 calls for service in that time. Sexual assaults edged slightly further with one file opened in the month, bringing the year total to 14, two more than 2012. There were no aggravated assaults for the month, but the total still stands at seven against 2012’s one.

There were four assaults with a weapon or causing bodily harm, bringing us four more than in 2012, to 28 files. Common assaults were at 24 for the month, with the yearly total at 189, way ahead of the 96 last year. There were four files opened for criminal harassment, taking the yearly total to 23. There were 17 last year. There were 11

threats against persons, furthering the gap between 2012, with 84 this year to 53 last year. There were six residential break and enters for October, bringing the year to 44 files. There were 30 in 2012. This month last year saw three files for B&E. Five vehicle theft files opened, another area where we’re far ahead from last year with 39 files for the year against the 14

seen in 2012. One shoplifting file was opened, but Kitimat is actually far down in this category, with only four for the year, versus 13 in 2012. Meanwhile mischief to property is up with 216 files for the year, 21 from October, while 2012 topped out at 160 files. There was one more causing a disturbance file opened over the same month last year, at 21, bringing the

year to 193, not that far ahead from 2012’s 165. Marijuana possession took up the bulk of the drug files, with seven cases in October. For the year we’re two down from 2012 at 26. There was one possession of cocaine file, putting this year on par with 2012 at eight files. Impaired driving cases are also on par with last year at 51 files, four from October.

Police Beat the driver was treated for a minor head injury. Driver not driving in erratic manner, RCMP state, and the road was covered in frost at time. The second incident took place around 7 p.m., when a vehicle

hit some trees at Kuldo Boulevard and Quatsino Boulevard. No driver present but was later found who indicated he had already called ICBC. Driver indicated some pains but not enough for him to go to the hospital. Finally, just before midnight, a single vehicle was reported in the ditch on Haisla Boulevard, in the di-

rection of the Rio Tinto Alcan site. The driver was on scene when police arrived and they found no sign of impairment. Snow considered main factor. November 12 A caller reported to RCMP of a possibly impaired driver coming into Kitimat on the highway. The grey rental vehicle was re-

Petition

Dana Larsen isn’t conceding defeat yet, but the head of the Sensible BC campaign to reform marijuana policing is already talking about another petition drive if the one now underway fails. Canvassers have less than two weeks left before the Dec. 9 deadline to submit the petition bearing the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters in every B.C. riding. They have around 150,000 signatures counted as of Nov. 19, or about half the number needed and far short of their target of 450,000 to provide a buffer against disqualified signatures. “In at least half of the ridings we are struggling,” Larsen said Tuesday, adding that means a quarter or less of the signatures have been gathered. “We have a long way to go.”

Carbon The B.C. government has announced the first money-saving moves in its “core review” of provincial functions, eliminating Crown agencies that buy offsets for government carbon emissions and manage heritage properties in the Victoria area. The functions of the Pacific Carbon Trust and the Provincial Capital Commission will continue, but will be run directly by government ministries. Bennett, minister in charge of the core review, said winding up the Pacific Carbon Trust is expected to save $5.6 million annually by 2015. Winding up the Provincial Capital Commission is expected to save about $1 million, while maintaining the agency’s cultural and student outreach programs. Post-secondary schools and health authorities will continue to pay millions to offset their fossil fuel use.

survey conducted by Insights West show a narrowing gap between those who oppose the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines proposal and those who support it. That’s in comparison to a survey the same company conducted in February this year. The survey was conducted online using a representative sample of B.C. residents. Overall support for the pipeline proposal stands at 42 per cent in their results — inclusive of people who are strongly or somewhat in favour — while 47 per cent are opposed. The company says that 42 per cent shows a seven-point increase since their February survey. The opposition, meanwhile, dropped 14 points from 61 per cent in February. That said, the

admittedly very low. With 749 total respondents, Northern B.C. encompasses just 25 people. “Unfortunately the number for the north is pretty tiny, I wouldn’t draw a lot of conclusions from it,” said Mario Canseco, vice president of public affairs for Insights West. “But when you’re looking at the province as a whole you start to see an interesting trend.” He said they would hope to at some point in the future do a study that’s more focused on the northern region. He said there’s a number of things that could have shifted opinion on the project. That includes the rail disaster in Lac Megantic in Quebec which killed 47 people. “You see what happens by rail, there’s a lot of people who say well maybe pipelines are the option if rail is

going to be so dangerous and cause so many difficulties,” said Canseco. He also said the political situation in B.C. could be a factor as well. “You have a situation where there’s no legislative assembly sitting, there’s no opportunity for the opposition to talk about specific misgivings they have about the project, and we have an NDP leader who’s on the way out,” he said. The B.C. Liberals push on a jobs platform has also done well and grown their base, Canseco adds. Oil tanker traffic increase off of Kitimat

An elevator for the museum not on its way up just yet Cameron Orr At the November 18 council meeting Mary Murphy moved that staff report on the costs of installing an elevator at the Kitimat Museum & Archives building. However the motion was ultimately referred for discussion to the museum board, by Mario Feldhoff, council’s representative on the museum board. He said it would be “inappropriate” for the council to pass that motion without letting the board prioritize their planning. “The museum board recently had a strategic planning session,” he said. “Several key objectives came up in those discussions. First one was to

decide on a new building or expand existing facility,” he said. Murphy had brought up the issue due to resident feedback. She had a letter from one person who could not attend her mother’s exhibit at the museum because of accessibility. “Everywhere in town people have access to the mall, the library. Everywhere except for the museum,” she said. “We need to allow people to enjoy the same opportunities that others do in town.” She said she hadn’t yet seen the minutes from the museum board and was not aware of their strategic planning meetings. She voted with the rest of council for the referal to the museum board.

Meanwhile MLA Robin Austin says this same poll tells a different story when it gets into the kinds of concerns people have with the project, saying those problems aren’t going away. “Looking at the details of it, people are still extremely concerned about the marine side of it.

Includes tax.

A taxing idea I have an idea, and it’s a little crazy. But most of the best ones are, aren’t they?

This is something that my brain has been spinning ever since a recent stay in a hotel. Each night had what was called a Destination Marketing Fee. (Or was that tax? I’ve been mixing up those terms all week.) Regardless, as time passed and I wondered where those costs come from — does the municipality or the province impose those? — I came back to Kitimat and re-entered the discussion about affordable housing. Then, with talk about the mandatory contributions that could be asked of temporary worker housing in Kitimat — such as has been put into the bylaws for the PTI Group proposal — I wondered about other ways the town could help fund important affordable housing projects. Now I say that, realizing it shouldn’t be a 100 per cent District responsibility to provide affordable housing. But maybe there’s a way the District can help raise resources to contribute to projects or housing in addition to the work camp situation. I sent a question over to the helpful Deputy Chief Administrative Officer at the District, Warren Waycheshen, asking if the town could impose fees or taxes per nights of stays at local hotels that could go into something like a Community Improvement Fund. He said through fees — not so much with taxes — the town could theoretically do something like that. With the possibility there I counted the number of hotel rooms the town has. Between the Chalet, City Centre Motel and the Kitimat Hotel, there are 101 rooms, based on numbers from the Tourism Kitimat website. If the District charged $1 per room per night, and given hotels here are booked solid, that’d be $36,865 a year. Not a bad number to sustain a project or specific fund, maybe even a contract coordinator to manage these things. I then added proposed rooms, another 87 as mentioned in the mayor’s ‘good news’ portion of the November 18 council meeting, and the possible 300 with the Crossroads project. At $1, assuming full capacity for the year, that’d raise $178,120. I didn’t include the potential from the proposed hotel on top of City Centre Mall. As I say, this just an idea, it may not work out or be ideal on some sober second thought, but perhaps it’s an idea worth investigating to provide support, or at least some boost, to the idea of developing affordable housing projects and plans for the town, which housing situation is currently so strained.

Gifts reveal little accountability Most salaried people in or out of public service provide their skills and labour to their jobs and are rewarded commensurately, as agreed when they accept employment offered. Depending on the job, either private or public, there by Allan Hewitson may be a bonus for performance. ahewitson@telus.net In general proportional bonuses are built into most public service Amounts spent in this category, in this contracts. Intermittent performance bonuses single federal department, more than are sometimes offered but it is still a quadrupled from $25,000 in 2006 to a little surprising to me to learn that high of $134,000 in 2011 and $112,000 one single government department, last year. If this instant awards policy the Treasury Board, with about 1,900 runs across all federal ministries and employees, now spends well over departments how much is being spent $100,000 each year on instant incen- in total, and at whose discretion?

Clement responded that the

Under Miscellaneous

Treasury Board had bought four employees $1,109 worth of NHL tickets to Senators’ games between 2009 and 2011. The minister then moved to ban purchases of sporting event tickets within his department, after the details became public. The Foreign Affairs department also subsequently banned such sporting event purchases when it was revealed officials had spent $69,498 on hockey and baseball tickets at U.S. missions between 2006 and 2012, largely to promote Canadian exports. These revelations, I feel, fail to demonstrate much real accountability with taxpayers money, an avowed objective of the conservative government when it took its majority. Accountability, just like justice, needs to be seen to be done. Reward and bonus programs are common in the both the public and private sector but usually the procedures associated with these programs are well set out and understandable and are provided for exceptional work or suggestions resulting in significant cost cuts or improvements to safety records.

Ultrasound campaign kickstarted Submitted The Kitimat General Hospital Foundation has taken a request from Kitimat’s physicians and kickstarted a fundraising campaign. The campaign is to raise $50,000 to buy a portable ultrasound machine. At the hospital foundation’s October meeting, Dr. Derek Carstens made a presentation, requesting the foundation’s help in buying the machine. The machine would be used in the emergency room and acute care unit. He explained that it would be very beneficial to have the ability to do ultrasounds in an emergency or after hours when the diagnostic imaging depart-

Compressor stations Dear sir, A natural gas pipeline is more than a pipe buried in the ground. To keep the gas moving, natural gas pipelines require compressor stations, located every 100 to 200 kilometres. Stations typically cover an area of 15 hectares (over 37 acres). TransCanada Pipelines proposes to build a compressor station near the banks of the Skeena River, and a rural residential area in the Kispiox Valley. Powered by large turbine engines, this industrial site would be audible for many kilometres. A tall, continuously burning flare stack, and industrial

READER’S WRITE lighting would illuminate the night sky. A station brings significant increase in industrial traffic. Compressor stations pose many serious risks to health, safety, and environment. There are numerous documented cases of explosions, fires, leaks, and spills. Routine ventings, accidental escapes, and continuous flaring release carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, fluorocarbons, sulphur hexafluoride, and other compounds or elements that are toxic,

carcinogenic, or neurotoxic. When powered by natural gas, station emissions further degrade regional air quality. In some natural gas pipelines, water and hydrocarbon liquids condense out of the gas stream as the gas cools. The toxic condensate is collected, stored, and disposed. Additional compressor stations can be added after a pipeline is built. Sincerely, Marnie Pole, Kispiox Valley

Accountability Continued from page 4 I also recognize that in a multi-billion dollar federal budget, $135,00 a year in incentives/rewards for a job well done by individual employees in one department is not a lot of money but the perspective is of this taking place at the same time as so many other departments are selectively laying off employees, irrespective of performance, to meet budget cuts.

It makes one wonder if some civil servants indeed earn rewards by accomplishing personnel cuts within their departments. Perhaps the total amount spent, however, would be in the multi-millions when added up over a period of five years. These are also multi-millions of dollars that could be better spent in more inclusive programs, in my opinion.

Police beat Continued from page 2 November 14 RCMP responded to a call about a fight between five people on Albatross Avenue. There was a possible report a person fell from a balcony as well. RCMP could not find any evidence of that situation taking place. An officer came upon a couple a short distance away, and the woman was reportedly yelling. They were warned that more yelling would result in an arrest for causing a disturbance. Police say “both the female and male walked away somewhat quieter than when they were found.” An allegedly drunk male was reported to police at 3:54 p.m., who was apparently asleep on a bench inside the mall. Police took him to cells for the night and was released when sober in the morning, without charges. Someone called the RCMP at 10:49 p.m. to report that she had seen an unknown man dressed in black walk from behind her neighbour’s house on Wathl Creek Road in Kitamaat Village. RCMP patrolled the area but no one matching the description was found. November 15 RCMP responded to a complaint of a break and enter to an abandoned townhouse on Alexander Avenue. An officer met with the manager who has apparently been dealing with break and enter issues at the location for years. The police have no suspects and the manager requested more frequent patrols at night. A caller at 9:38 p.m. reported a person

in or around their garage on Liard Street. The caller said someone had opened the lock from the shed and taken a single sheet of plywood. There was no sign of forced entry

Fire chief welcomes new rules An announcement from the federal government on November 20 that puts new rules on rail companies is being welcomed by Kitimat Fire Chief Trent Bossence. The federal minister of transport, Lisa Raitt, announced a protective order that directs rail companies to share information with municipalities of all dangerous goods that are being transported through the community. Bossence said that Kitimat has always kept a close eye on whatâ€™s being moved through the community, but these new rules will be an added boost. â€œIt improves our awareness and in a sense it should improve the pre-planning of municipalities and fire departments to K

He said right now there isnâ€™t much dangerous product being moved by rail locally. â€œWeâ€™re pretty safe in a sense of rail activity and the products that come in by rail, now that the condensate and methanol and all that is no longer being shipped in and out of Kitimat,â€? he said.

With this development for rail transport, Bossence did suggest itâ€™d be helpful for similar kinds of reporting to be made available for materials transported on highways. He said thereâ€™s a lot of gasoline and diesel being transported to service the camps and construction in the area.
