Capacity for civil disobedience Cameron Orr Is Kitimat Council preparing for potential surges in civil disobedience? That’s what Douglas Channel Watch wants to know, ahead of a decision by the federal government on the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines proposal. DCW’s Murray Minchin asked councillors at the May 26 committee of the whole meeting whether the town has planned for protests. “Twenty-thousand people have already pledged to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Yinka Dene Alliance against Enbridge. Those numbers will surely grow if Prime Minister Harper approves this project and if Premier Clark rubber stamps the project’s permits,” he said. Minchin drew parallels to the protests at Clayoquot Sound on west Vancouver Island in the 90s, which drew out thousands of protesters and led to hundreds of arrests. That, said Minchin, was in the days before Internet even, and is sure the potential is there for even larger protests in the Kitimat area. “Kitimat is uniquely designed to accommodate thousands of tents in the many large green spaces throughout the community,” he said. He said citizens have even begun preparing, with the BC Civil Liberties Association holding a recent “Know Your Rights” tour informing people about their rights in dealing with law enforcement. Douglas Channel Watch knows as much as anyone else as far as when the federal government may or may not approve the Gateway project but such a decision is anticipated this month. A few days from the meeting when the Sentinel asked for response on the presentation, Mayor Joanne Monaghan simply said that any issue around preparation for protests in Kitimat is a police matter and they would hand over consideration to the local detachment. Staff Sergeant Phil Harrison said that it’s an issue that is on their radar, but even so they have no indication so far as to whether protests on the project will be large scale or smaller ‘mom and pop’ kinds. “We certainly realize, especially in the northwest here...once this Enbridge thing starts up again there’s going to be protests and it’s probably going to go throughout the whole summer,” he said. “But large scale protests? I don’t know how large they’re going to be.” When they do hear more he said they will dialogue with protest leaders to ensure safety. “We’re a neutral party, we don’t take one side or the other. We’re just there to make sure that the people are safe and property is safe,” said Harrison. “As long as those are looked after, protest to your heart’s content.”

School teachers stand in front of Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School on May 26, part of rotating strikes across the province. Teachers in our school district will be back on the picket lines on June 6 as rotating strikes continue.

Keeping the foot down on walkways Cameron Orr The Kitimat Heritage Group is looking for answers about what will happen to Kitimat’s walkways and where they fit in to the town’s newest neighbourhoods. Speaking for the group, Walter Thorne sat before Kitimat Council with his questions, following a letter he sent on the same issue. The Heritage Group at least annually comes to council to press questions and ensure the continuation of the iconic walking path system in Kitimat. “That defining walkway, greenbelt system is a model that is looked at from afar, and we really, really treasure it,” said Thorne. Specifically he asked about the future of the Gander/Gannet, Osprey/Oriole and Kechika/Columbia walkways. He didn’t receive specific answers on those at his presentation. But Director of Engineering Tim Gleig said there is no immediate plans for decommissioning any of Kitimat’s walkways.

“This is our pet project, as you know. This is our pet city...We really want that system to be as good as it can be.” As the Heritage group reminded councillors and staff, a February 2012 motion sets in policy that the District of Kitimat must advertise planned sidewalk decommissioning in this newspaper. “We might do a survey later this year,” said Gleig, referring to the initial stage of setting out a decommissioning. “But the only reason you haven’t heard from us is we don’t have any on the list [for removal].” Thorne also questioned Kitimat’s newest developments, such as Strawberry Meadows, and encouraged Kitimat to stick to its walkway plans for those neighbourhoods. Town planners said there are plans

for walkways in that neighbourhood. Meanwhile staff also said they are expecting tenders for this year’s walkways restructuring plan. Last year’s plan, which would have focused on the downtown core of Kitimat, didn’t go through due to no bids being received. Staff was directed to redirect that budget towards 2014’s plan, which is the walkways around Kingfisher Avenue. Last year’s walkway plan was around $400,000, while this year’s is estimated around $700,000. Thorne also noted that the Official Community Plan considered a new walkway, one along the Viewpoint, could have been built by this time, but he did understand such an undertaking would be pricey, but was hopeful better times were ahead for the town. “This is our pet project, as you know. This is our pet city...We really want that system to be as good as it can be,” said Thorne. “We kind of like that vision to go on.”

Treaty 8 leader speaks on gas development Treaty 8 Tribal Chief Liz Logan says the government should take a moment to breath as it pushes the liquefied natural gas industry in the province. Logan spent an evening with people at the Kitimat Public Library on May 28, speaking about resource development, as well as her own experiences being a political leader from the northeast area of B.C. And her underlying message is that the provincial government needs to slow down and take in more consideration, she told the Sentinel over the phone before her presentation.

“We need this province to wake up and start doing things right. Where is the term sustainability used in their languages, where is the term conservation used in their language?... it’s not. We’re not against development, we never have been because our people have to make a living like everybody else. But they have to slow down and start doing things right. They don’t want to go in and deplete all the resources that are there today and forget about tomorrow like they did with the conventional gas.” She said there has been documented wildlife illness in northeast,

which many suspect comes from oil and gas extraction processes. The saline content of hydrocarbons, she said, leads them to think animals are consuming contaminated materials, causing illness and cancer. “I’m just raising the concern that there are concerns around fracking. The large amounts of water that they use out there. I’m talking about the concern around contamination from the hydrocarbons from the oil and gas industry. This is becoming more and more alarming because our people are starting to see unhealthy moose, unhealthy bea-

vers, rabbits, and we’re questioning why that is and is it because of the hydrocarbons?” Logan said she hasn’t seen much of an effort by the B.C. government to engage with Treaty 8 nations. “We’ve been...listening to this government tout this whole LNG project, the proposals for the pipeline, and they seem to forget there’s a source that they’re forgetting of where the gas is going to come to go to the pipe to go out to the facilities.” Logan was travelling with a member of the Northwest Institute for Bioregional Research.

Regional Students flown briefs to conference Record Northwest Regional Airport keeps setting passenger records with April being the second month in a row to pass the 20,000 mark. April’s 20,586 passenger total and March’s 21,996 – the highest two months on record – contributed to a passenger count of 78,177 for the first four months of this year. And that’s fully more than 30,000 over the 78,177 recorded for the equivalent period in 2013. Airport manager Carman Hendry says there’s no apparent sign of growth slowing down. “It’s getting hard to believe the numbers. People in the [airport services] industry we speak to are really wondering,” he said. A concerted effort to finish Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kitimat smelter rebuilding project and continued work by companies connected with the region’s potential liquefied natural gas industry are at the core of the passenger traffic growth. The continuing growth means the addition of more parking spots, making 800 spaces in all, can’t come fast enough, said Hendry. Work on the parking area expansion began earlier this year and is being financially aided by the airport being able to crush rock found on its property.

Anna Killen The provincial government and companies working on developing a liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry spent approximately $60,000 taking nearly 60 Coast Mountains School District secondary school students, teachers and chaperones to the Vancouver LNG conference. They were among 110 students, teachers and chaperones from the northwest at the May 21-23 provincial government-sponsored conference attended by 1,400 delegates. “The provincial government offered funding to all school districts from the north to attend this conference, and that was the impetus for industry to sign on and fund the rest,” said Coast Mountains school board chair Art Erasmus, noting it was a unique field trip opportunity for students. Two Grade 10 plan-

ning classes, one from Caledonia Secondary School, and one from Mount Elizabeth Secondary School, Hazelton Secondary School’s Intro to Trades class, and one student from Stewart’s Bear Valley School made the trip. The money was given to the school district in $800 per student subsidies in order to pay for travel and accommodation costs for northern students, confirmed a ministry of energy and mines spokesperson last week, noting that subsidies were provided based on location in the province. The money came from revenue generated through the LNG conference and any costs on top of the $800 per student subsidy were paid by LNG companies at no cost to the school district. Companies involved in the planning to build two pipelines to two LNG plants

Premier Christy Clark stands with Coast Mountains School District students at a recent LNG conference. Submitted at Kitimat and two pipelines to two LNG plants at Prince Rupert contributed to the students’ one-night trip. But one local environmental group raised concerns that the students would not receive a balanced view of the LNG industry and its potential impacts. “Students are young minds and easily moulded and they’re forming opinions, and when industry offers an all expenses paid trip to an industry conference when 90 per cent of the speakers

are pushing industry, I don’t think they’re getting a very balanced view,” said North West Watch representative Anne Hill. “I think it’s much more than a field trip.” Erasmus disagreed. “If I’m a parent, and there’s a conference where you can learn something about some topic, and it won’t cost you anything as parent, why would the parent want to object to that regardless of where the money comes from?” he said.

The taxing season Cameron Orr With Kitimat property tax notices being sent out to residents, people will now get a clear picture on how much their property assessment affected their annual bill. The District of Kitimat held to a three per cent increase in local property taxes. District Treasurer Steve Christiansen explained that with an average increase of 25.5 per cent assessed values in homes in Kitimat, those homes which kept to that average will see that three per cent rise fairly directly. However if your home rose more than 25.5 per cent, you’ll actually see a higher per cent tax bill for the year. As was the case last year, taxes will also go up due to the

other regional taxes that must be paid. The District of Kitimat collects but does not set the rates for a number of other taxes. Notably this year is the school tax which is rising about 13.6 per cent, and makes up 70 per cent of the tax rise on your bill. “This is largely due to a shift of school tax from other communities in school district 82 to Kitimat because of the large increase in assessed value of homes in Kitimat, relative to those in other communities,” explained Christiansen. Terrace’s corporate administrator Alisa Thompson says on average that their city’s school taxes are increasing one per cent for homes which increased the

average assessment amount of 11.4 per cent. Overall, while Kitimat’s property taxes go up three per cent, the total average tax increase for a Kitimat property owner is actually 6.6 per cent this year. Other taxing authorities collected for are the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, the Hospital District and the BC Assessment Authority. Those taxes saw nominal to no increases. In the case of the hospital taxes, the newer Northwest Regional Hospital District replaces an older Regional Hospital District tax. The former actually left a credit behind which was applied to diminished the affect of the newer.

Marine planning It was the May 21 Northern Sentinel where we followed up with a short article about the North Coast - Skeena First Nations Stewardship Society and the province when they held an open house at the Kitimat Valley Institute regarding the draft North Coast Marine Plan. The plan is, essentially, a guideline or document which is designed to influence future decisions from the province as it relates to marine use. That won’t mean tanker traffic, as that’s a federal jurisdiction, but rather things like energy development, seafood development and protected areas. That information is available at their website at www.mappocean.org. (Note the two Ps.) Comments on the draft plan were to officially close yesterday, June 3, but those behind the plan may have got more feedback than they bargained for. Namely, while there was some advertisement ahead of the meeting, some in the public, and on our council, feel that not enough engagement has been done on the plan and the public has only been given a very small window to give their comments. (Comment period began on April 29.) Councillor Mario Feldhoff, to that end, has moved for council to ask the North Coast Marine Plan proponents to meet with local Kitimat groups and agencies to receive feedback on the plan, and that the plan’s comment period be extended to the end of the year, December 31. “I attended the session at KVI a short while ago, and many people...expressed some surprise that maybe the outreach by MaPP has not been to the level that we would hope and many people in the community wanted more time.” He noted extensions had been granted in other regions that will be covered by this new marine plan. Haida Gwaii’s marine plan received an extension as well before comments closed. While it might be too late today if they haven’t changed their minds, the marine planning partnership people would be smart to allow the extension. The process has been going on for some time, but by numerous stakeholders, and none, it seemed, in a very public way. While you could certainly say the marine stakeholders are the ones you really want setting the plan, without adequate public input it’s hard to be assured the plan is taking into account the, you know, public interest. There is really no rush to have the plan done. It’s in a sense an Official Community Plan, but for the ocean, nothing will fall apart in its absence if it takes a little longer to get finalized. But people have spoken, and the process has left many people in the dark. It will go a long way to allow for a longer time.

US gun advocates can lack sensitivity There are times when the better part of indignity is served best by simply keeping silent. That it not a trait that seems to be prevalent among adherents to the gun lobby in the United States. Following the recent tragic murders carried out by unbalanced teenager Elliot Rodger, a lonely, jealous and very disturbed character who felt he had been callously rejected by attractive young women, became America’s latest mass murderer after killing seven and injuring 13 people in a wellplanned “drive by” massacre staged from his black BMW in the Californian college town of Isla Vista. Fortunately, Rodger was not quite as successful at putting his well-publicized plan into action as he wanted to be, but by the time he (apparently) killed himself in his car, three people had been stabbed to death in his residence, another four were shot dead and some dozen others wound up in hospital with various injuries ranging from gun shots to injuries suffered when Rodger ran them over in the street with his car. The news took top spot over that weekend, but quickly the gun control and gun freedom advocates entered the publicity fray that inevitably follows such tragic events. Front and centre, however, was the

Under Miscellaneous by Allan Hewitson ahewitson@telus.net

odious open letter written by political wannabe, Samuel Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, for his fifteen-minutes of fame in the US election campaign. Wurzelbacher, in his open letter to Barbwire, an American news-comment blog, insisted the deaths of innocent people “don’t trump his constitutional rights” to carry deadly weapons. Addressed to the families of victims in the shooting rampage near the University of California, in Santa Barbara, the timing and tastelessness of Wurzelbacher’s contention that his rights trump the rights of slain innocent young people didn’t quite match up to the gall of the claim by National Rifle Association president, David Keene that armed guards and teachers could have helped prevent the loss of life in the terrible Newton, Conn., school massacre. But it comes very close. America, as a country, is having a great deal of trouble dealing with the repetitive gun outrages across the

country, school shootings in particular. In almost every case of a firearms disaster, Americans see gun sales actually go up. Popular CNN talk show host, Englishman, Piers Morgan literally talked himself out of his lucrative three-year contract after he engaged in repeated furious gun control debates with numerous supporters of gun freedom, although CNN never admitted it, basing the firing on falling ratings. Satirical newspaper The Onion has been attacked for its headline last week “‘No way to prevent this’ says only nation where this regularly happens.” However, almost monthly, despite the obvious need to better control the sale of guns, various states continue to loosen control: for example Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal has signed a wideranging gun bill into law, Bill 60, or the Safe Carry Protection Act of 2014, which opponents have nicknamed the “guns everywhere bill” and specifies where Georgia residents may carry weapons. Included are provisions that allow residents who have concealed carry permits to take guns into some bars, churches, school zones, government buildings and, unbelievably, some areas of airports.

Feds need to think of national interest At the May 5 Kitimat council meeting top of the bill was a presentation by David Black, the guy proposing to build an oil refinery called Kitimat Clean on land about halfway between Kitimat and Terrace. I am not going to repeat everything he told Kitimat council but I do want to zero in on what I see as an interesting contradiction. For the last several years our oil sands industry has been going on about how Canada was being shortchanged big time because the US refineries had them, so to speak, over a barrel. While the US happily bought the Alber-

tan crude, knowing there was nowhere else for it to go they were a little mean on what they were prepared to pay. Industry’s argument was if it could export diluted bitumen (dilbit) to Asia via Northern Gateway’s proposed terminal in Kitimat, then Canada would get full value for the oil sands product. And that would be in the national interest. Okay, let’s for the sake of argument accept that they are right. Then along comes Black with his proposal to build a refinery and ship out not dilbit, but fully refined products.

Baxyard Banter

by Malcolm Baxter msdbax@citywest.ca

He says a refinery would create 3,000 direct jobs and the same number again in spinoff industries that would use by-products from the refining process. That’s a total of 6,000 well paying, permanent jobs compared to the few hundred well paying permanent jobs that Northern Gateway would create. And all those workers would be paying substantial taxes

“It’s not going to make enough for us.” Note that the president agreed it would make money year after year after year, but his company wanted more. Hmmm, the first whiff that the oil companies’ interests trump the national interest. It gets worse. “Our oil industry does not want to refine”, Black says, pointing out that the parent companies of the Canadian off shoots are based in countries - read the US - that aready have their own refineries. And he pointed out that the US refines “every drop” of Canadian crude it imports and that those refined

from the resource. Not so, he says. Well perhaps that’s because his numbers on the project’s viability are out to lunch. Black says that the president of one of the big oil companies actually asked to see Black’s numbers - Black had got two different consultants to crunch them. After his own people had taken a “hard look” at the numbers, Black says the president told him they agreed with his projections that the project would make a 10 per cent return per annum. Then came the bad news: his company would not be a partner in the project because

each and every year to the federal, provinicial and even local governments. Therefore Black’s refinery clearly wins hands down when it comes to that national interest, even if it were only half that number of jobs. So you would think that the crude producers would embrace Black’s idea given their apparent determination that the nation should benefit

products are its biggest export. Now here is the killer: “Three of them (major oil companies) told me directly they will never sell oil to this refinery.” In other words, national interest be damned. So here is a suggestion for the federal government: flat out reject the Northern Gateway project or any other export proposal that does not match the value added benefits of a Canadian-based refinery, whether it is Black’s or someone else’s. That would, after all, be in the national interest that it is supposed to defend.

Gun advocates Continued from page 4 Federal legislators are so split on gun control as to appear immovable despite the repeated nature of mass gun murders, or even the fact that in 2010, of more than 31,000 gun deaths, 19,000 were suicides, far more than the number of homicides or unintended shooting deaths. The overall suicide rate is rising so rapidly that it now out-numbers auto crash fatalities. California legislators now feel obliged to consider new laws that “might” have helped prevent some deaths in the specific Rodger rampage, but will have little impact on gun control. The state

lawmakers are proposing legislation that would permit law enforcement officials and private individuals to seek a restraining order from a judge that would keep people with a potential propensity for violence from buying or owning a gun. The process would be similar to the one currently used for restraining orders in cases of domestic violence. Police interviewed Rodger only a few days before the shootings, but found no cause to arrest him, Rodger stated in his 137-page e-mail outlining details of his plans. Frankly the kind of warnings California police were provided by Rodger himself rarely happens.

“Our project will add over $4 billion into the B.C. economy. Think of what that will mean for our schools, hospitals and social programs.” - Janet Holder, Leader of Northern Gateway

Janet Holder:

Partnering in the Project’s prosperity

Janet Holder is responsible for the overall leadership of the Northern Gateway Project. With over 20 years of experience in the energy sector, she has held a variety of senior and executive roles in liquids pipelines, energy efficiency and energy distribution. As a proud British Columbian, Janet works hard to ensure Northern Gateway will be a safer, better pipeline with lasting benefits for B.C.

Ensuring that the economic benefits of the Project are also shared with Aboriginal communities is hugely important to us. In discussions with First Nations and Métis communities, we have offered a 10% equity stake in the pipeline. Additionally, there will be an estimated $300 million in Aboriginal employment and contracts, plus related economic activity, adding up to nearly $1 billion in total long-term benefits for First Nations and Métis communities and businesses.

Over the past several months, I have shared our priority to ensure we protect what matters most to all of us — our beautiful coastline and environment. Our world-class safety and response measures are vital for the approval and success of the Northern Gateway Project — a project that will pave the way for significant economic benefits to help us build a stronger future for B.C. A long-term revenue stream We estimate that over the next 30 years, our project will add over $4 billion into the B.C. economy. Think of what that will mean for our schools, hospitals and social programs. Increased long-term revenue for these programs and services will ensure our standard of living is not just maintained, but enhanced for years to come. A boost for Northern communities The B.C. economy will benefit from salaries, contracts and goods and services directly related to the Project. During the construction phase alone, Northern B.C. businesses will benefit from over $800 million spent locally on goods and services like transportation, equipment, food and hospitality.

Jobs and opportunities for families To build this Project, we will create employment that will especially benefit communities along the pipeline’s route. In fact, we are already helping to connect local residents to future employment and business opportunities, and offering education and skills development. There will be 560 long-term jobs created in B.C., and our plans call for the hiring of 3,000 construction workers. These jobs will create new sources of income for the workers’ home communities. It is expected that each year $32 million in income will be earned, which will have a profound and lasting impact on B.C. families. An investment in the future while protecting what matters to us most As a proud British Columbian who was born and raised here, I am motivated every day to ensure these economic benefits never come at the expense of our incredible environment. Let me assure you that my team and I are working hard to meet all of the 209 conditions for Project approval set out by the Joint Review Panel, to ensure we build not only a safer, better pipeline, but a stronger, better B.C.

Chief Councillor Ross to get Order of BC Cameron Orr Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross joins 24 other distinguished B.C. citizens as he receives the Order of British Columbia. The prestigious award recognizes people who have contributed to the province in “extraordinary ways.” Ross said he only learned about the recognition about a week before they were publicly announced on May 28. Ross joins fellow First Nations leader Chief Chester Moore of Terrace, a hereditary chief and promoter of Nisga’a culture. Ross said he doesn’t know much about how he got nominated but is pleased for the recognition it means for him and his whole community. “It’s really exciting to, basically, know that the work that we’ve done as a council and as a community is actually finally getting recognition and getting results,” he said. “It’s not me. I’m just a face of the organization. I could never do this job on my own.” Recipients of the Order of B.C. are selected by an advisory

committee out of candidates selected from public nomination. The official ceremony will take place on November 6. “The Order of British Columbia is the

province’s most prestigious accolade,” said Lieutenant-Governor Judith Guichon in a news release. “For 25 years, we have publicly recognized those who have

dedicated themselves to bettering the lives of their fellow citizens. These recipients exemplify the positive difference one person can make in a community and are an inspiration

to all British Columbians.” “The Order of British Columbia recognizes remarkable accomplishments by extraordinary British Columbians,” said

Premier Christy Clark, also in a release. “On behalf of all British Columbians, I want to thank this year’s recipients for their dedication – and all they do to make B.C. better.”

Survey reveals changing driving habits as prices rise Jeff Nagel A new poll has found high gas prices are causing financial hardship for a majority of B.C. residents, many of whom say they’re driving less and trying alternatives like walking or transit more. The Insights West online survey in partnership with Black Press found two-thirds of respondents across the province have felt financial hardship from the recent rise in gas prices. Pump prices for regular gas climbed above $1.50 per litre in Metro Vancouver this week, up more than 20 per cent since early January. Kitimat’s gas prices have hovered in the

138.9 to 145 cents a litre in the past several weeks. More Interior B.C. residents cited hardship – 74 per cent – even though they don’t pay the extra 17-centa-litre gas tax charged by TransLink in Metro Vancouver. Insights West vicepresident Mario Canseco said $1.50 per litre appears to be a psychological level where more people seek ways to cut their fuel consumption. “We’re seeing people saying it might be better to take the bus this afternoon, it might be better to walk or try to bike – essentially not to drive,” he said. Fifty-five per cent of poll respon-

“There’s a high number of people who look at the service stations as gougers.” dents across B.C. said they’re already driving less than usual, while 27 per cent said they’re walking more and 19 per cent said they’re taking public transit more. (Twenty-six per cent in the Lower Mainland said they’re taking transit more.) While it’s helpful that gas prices tend to spike in spring and summer, when the weather is more conducive to walking or biking than December, Canseco believes that’s coincidence. “They’re not doing it because it’s lovely

outside, they’re doing it because they’re feeling the pain when they gas up.” The poll also uncovered refueling habits of those surveyed. It may not sound like a winning strategy, but a large number of respondents – 38 per cent – said they’ve refueled with less gas than usual lately, possibly in hopes of lower prices the next time. Just over half said they buy at gas stations that give them loyalty reward points, while far fewer respondents said they use a station close

to home or work (20 per cent), or they buy at any station when they run low (10 per cent.) Sixteen per cent said they don’t own a car. The poll also found widespread belief that gas taxes are too high, that B.C. stations charge more than ones elsewhere in Canada, and 91 per cent said they believe gas stations take advantage

of motorists by raising prices just before a long weekend. “There’s a high number of people who look at the service stations as gougers,” Canseco said. Just four per cent said they’ve considered selling their vehicle and switching to a more fuel efficient one. Canseco said he believes that will change over time as

electric car prices come down. The poll didn’t ask the more than 800 respondents if they regularly drive to the U.S. to refuel with cheaper gas. But Canseco said a previous poll on crossborder shopping habits showed gas savings is one of the top reasons why Lower Mainland residents frequently head south.

Councillor’s departure means reassigned tasks With the early departure of town Councillor Corinne Scott, other councillors had to step in to roles formerly taken by her. Each councillor is appointed to a number of boards and committees as part of their duty. Scott in particular was the council representative to the Regional District of KitimatStikine’s board. Phil Germuth, who had been her alternate for that role, has been promoted to

take the main task. Councillor Mary Murphy has moved in to Germuth’s former role as alternate. Scott’s leave also affects representation on the Theatre Advisory Committee however council agreed to leave the new appointment decision to the mayor, as the mayor is who originally appoints councillors to committees at the start each year. Scott was the representa-

tive for the Northwest Corridor Development Corporation, however there are two alternates already and the organization will close on August 31 anyway. The Kitimat Health Advocacy Group and the Kitimat Age Friendly Committee also lost her as one of council’s representatives, but there are a number of other councillors reps that remain for both so no change will be made at this time.

Invasive plants’ days are numbered in Kitimat Cameron Orr The District of Kitimat is joining the Northwest Invasive Plant Council (NWIPC) for a third year to eradicate the area’s invasive plant species. Municipal and Crown lands identified as having invasive species will be treated, and

the local invasive plant contractor will work with private land owners if it’s known plants are growing on private lands too. The six plant species being targeted in Kitimat are Scotch Brooms, Japanese Knotweed, Burdock, Himalayan Balsam, Mountain Bluet and

Common Comfrey. Two herbicides will be used in Kitimat one called Milestone (aminopyralid) and Vantage XRT (glyphosate). Those with a green thumb will be able to pitch in the weeding effort too. Up to July 15 people can register for the 2014 Commu-

nity Weed Pull on August 16. That event will set volunteers to remove Himalayan Balsam from the drainage ditches near Kildala Elementary. It’s a three hour event. Director of Leisure Services Martin Gould said the District of Kitimat contributes $10,000 annually to

the plan and it has been fairly successful since it began. “The only spot that is always a battle is people don’t realize they have them growing in their own garden as a plant,” he said. People can visit www.kitimat.ca to see a list of the plants being targeted.

College still pondering Enbridge bursary money Northwest Community College is still trying to figure out a way to pass along $15,000 in Enbridge bursary money to its students. College administrators first accepted the money in early March in the form of six $2,500 bursaries and were preparing to decide who among 71 applicants were to receive the money but that was stopped when the college board decided to send the money back just weeks later. The company’s planned Northern Gateway pipeline to carry Alberta crude to a marine export terminal at Kitimat has been heavily criticized as a risk to the environment for potential land-

based and ocean spills. At the time of the board’s rejection, chair Rhoda Witherly said the college would somehow work on getting the money to deserving students. And that’s still the case Witherly said last week. “But we still haven’t come to an exact mechanism,” she added. “Staff were nervous about being seen to circumvent what was a board motion.” Witherly described the situation in which the intent is to help deserving students as “quite awkward.” Enbridge Northern Gateway official

Catherine Pennington said she was frustrated by what has happened. “We’re still completely dedicated [to the bursaries] but haven’t yet been given a mechanism. We have made overtures to the college,” she said. “We’ve asked the college board chair to give us some ideas.” One idea suggested by Enbridge is for it to provide letters to the college which would then distribute them to the students who had originally applied. The letters would invite the students to contact Enbridge directly so the company could then choose the six successful applicants.

Fore scores

Kitimat golfers take on Smithers Submitted Kitimat put up a valiant effort against a talented Smithers golf team at the regional zones in early May. The Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School team of Dylan Kerbrat, Kyle Vales, Joel DeMelo, Darren Cordeiro and Justin Vales represented Kitimat at the Skeena Valley Golf Club in Terrace. It was only Smithers and Kitimat competing in the local zones this time. Smithers took a 39

stroke lead on the Friday, and the day two total had Smithers 83 strokes ahead as well. It was an unprecedented lead, but Kitimat coach Susan Dobbin says that Smithers will have a great chance to win the BC High School Golf Provincials this year. Kitimat golfers were all scoring in the 80s with a couple in the 90s. The lowest rounds were shot by Kyle Vales with an 82 and Joel DeMelo with an 83. Kitimat had three

grade 9s, a grade 10 and a grade 12 on the team this year and Smithers has four grade 10s and a grade 12. Smither’s golfer Kaleb Gorbahn shot a 75 and 71 with the lowest scores of the tournament with a supporting cast mostly all shooting in the 70s.

Kitimat’s team of golfers took to Terrace to take on Smithers’ golf team in zones. The Kitimatians put up a great effort although it will be Smithers that moves on to the high school provincials later this year.

As one of Kitimat’s newest corporate citizens, we’re excited to bring new housing options to a growing town. We’re proposing to build a 54-unit townhouse complex at 1851 Kingfisher Avenue, right by the Hirsh Creek Golf and Winter Club. The site we own allows 40 units but we’re confident an additional 14 can be built while maintaining a welcoming neighbourhood image. To get that extra 14 units we need District of Kitimatapproved rezoning, which we have applied for, and plan for it to be voted on at their June 9 council meeting. We have proposed to contribute $70,000 to the town’s Affordable Housing Fund for those extra 14 units, under density bonusing conditions. We will also donate over six acres of our purchased site back to the District of Kitimat as parkland. We support the District’s efforts to develop affordable housing and we are certain the community will find positive means to use these funds. We’re excited for our townhouse development and we feel assured it will only improve and complement the neighbourhood and the community.

Building a healthy, inclusive community!
