Residents rally against townhomesCameron Orr

Many residents of Margetts Street have rallied against a proposal to build a town house complex along King� sher Avenue near the golf course.

The development would pit three-storey townhomes against Margetts residents’ backyards, and a list of potential problems and con-cerns were put on council’s lap at their July 7 meeting.

The presentation by residents came as council re-entertained a zoning application by the property developer to allow an extra 14 units over the existing allowable 40.

Council had struck down the ap-plication which typically creates a six month buffer before an applicant can return on the same issue, but the Community Charter does give a mayor the ability to bring an item up within 30 days.

Speaking on behalf of 10 homes listed on his submission to council was Margetts resident Leland Harris.

Harris’s backyard is among those most likely impacted by the development. His home backs on to the green space where town houses may be built.

Among Harris’ presentation, he said the current proposal “feels more like a camp” than a neighbourhood asset, his document said, and also the promise of a donation of park land to the District from the site is not that generous as the land is un-suitable for building and may effec-tively translate to a tax break for the developer.

On a larger scale, he said there is still uncertainty that LNG proposals will build in Kitimat and even if they do the town may not see its popula-tion back to its peak of approximate-ly 14,000 people.

The town, he said. could be left with a glut of empty townhomes from an overbuild.

Ideally he said the town should develop complexes already built and left to decay before allowing new construction. He speci� cally pointed to the Alexander townhouses.

The eventual debate on the mo-tion to restart the process on the zon-

ing amendment had Phil Germuth clearly pitted against other council-lors, with him saying that the coun-cil is appearing weak by entertain-ing the issue a second time without allowing the prescribed six month waiting period.

Germuth actually wanted to have the zoning recommendations tabled but councillors opted to dis-cuss the matter before entertaining a motion, which eventually became Feldhoff’s motion to give � rst and second readings.

“This developer has not acted in good faith with the community. We already negated this, we really owe this developer nothing at this time. They made the residents feel disre-spected, they completely ignored council,” said Germuth, noting the developer had promised community consultation which did not occur un-til after councillors defeated the ini-tial application.

“What kind of message are we sending to every other developer out there at this time in Kitimat’s history? This is our best time when we actually have the leverage to do things right. And we’re going out there and saying ‘oh, in Kitimat, no doesn’t mean no.’”

Feldhoff in moving the motion said there were enough changes to the application that he felt comfort-able putting it back on the table.

“I believe that in this particular case the changes proposed by the de-veloper are substantive in nature and warrant proceeding with a new pro-cess, prior to waiting the six month period,” he said.

As set out in staff’s report to council, the seemingly biggest change in this new application is that one town house building at the prop-erty’s southern edge would now be-come a two-storey rather than three structure, a change made to re� ect neighbourhood concerns.

Edwin Empinado said he was in favour as the motion puts into pro-cess a community discussion.

Site proponent Stuart McFad-den was unavailable for comment on this article due to being away on holidays.

Land issues may hold up LNG pipelinesJosh Massey

The Gitxsan First Nation has vowed to block any natural gas pipe-line construction on their territory un-less certain title rights are acknowl-edged by the government for an area of disputed land.

Kitsumkalum and Kitselas First Nations approved land claims agree-ments in principle with the federal and provincial governments last spring, paving the way for � nal treaty nego-tiations.

This would grant them ownership to tracts of land extending east of Terrace, towards the Gitx-san traditional territory, but the Gitxsan argue that part of the land contained in those agreements in principle to form part of the eventual Kitsum-kalum and Kitselas � nal treaties is in fact theirs and want it recognized as such.

To leverage their claim, the Gitxsan now say they want no further work done on planned natu-ral gas pipelines that would pass through their ter-ritory toward planned lique� ed natural gas plants around Prince Rupert and at Kitimat.

This would have an affect on the ability of three proposed pipelines to proceed in their area including the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project by TransCanada, Westcoast Connector project by Spectra Energy and the Paci� c Northern Gas looping project.

“The [federal and provincial] crowns refuse to abide by the rulings of B.C. courts that the Gitxsan have strong prima facie rights and good

prima facie title to these lands since contact in 1846,” says a media release from the Of� ce of the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs.

“There are several parcels of land that are within Gitxsan traditional territory,” said Gitxsan negotiator Bev Clifton Percival in an interview, adding that court decisions over the past several decades upheld Gitxsan rights to the disputed area.

The area includes two rivers near Gitsegukla and Kitwanga and land used by 3,000 people, she said.

12-year-old treated after crashing dirt bikeJune 30At 5:30 p.m. the

police were called to a dirt bike collision on Dyke Road. Two youths had collided while riding and a 12-year-old was treated for a compound frac-ture to his left leg. The police say they’re still investigating.

July 1At 1:20 p.m. an

ATV on the Saunders forest service road went off the road when the driver, a 28-year-old, lost control on loose gravel. The driver and a passenger were treated for injuries by Fire and Rescue. Police

say they are still inves-tigating.

July 2At 2 a.m. a vehicle

was pulled over for speeding near Haisla Boulevard and Euro-can Way. The driver displayed symptoms of impairment and the driver proceeded to fail two roadside screen-ing tests. The 43-year-old from Coldstream, B.C. received a 90-day driving prohibition and a 30-day vehicle im-

poundment.July 3Police responded

to a reported stolen Kawasaki dirt bike. It had been stolen from Columbia Avenue but on July 6 police were told the vehicle was re-covered. Police are still investigating.

July 5At 12:48 a.m. the

police were called on an alleged assault. On arrival the police ar-rested a male with an outstanding condi-tional sentence war-rant. The police say the individual also was in breach of a conditional sentence order. The

52-year-old Kitimat resident is set to appear before a judge soon.

At 7:10 a.m. a break and enter was reported to a residence on Blackberry street. The residence is under construction and the suspect or suspects ap-pear to have entered through a rear window and stole construction tools. The persons tried and failed to break in to two trailers parked outside as well. Police continue to investigate.

At 11:45 p.m. the RCMP saw a 15-year-old walking on Kuldo Boulevard who was known to have a cur-

few. The male was arrested and taken to RCMP cells until the youth’s father came and brought his son home.

July 6A driver pulled

over on Haisla Bou-levard at 4:30 a.m. showed signs of im-pairment but refused to provide a breath sam-ple to the officer. The vehicle took approxi-mately two blocks be-fore the driver finally stopped, police report. The same driver had been warned not to drive earlier at the Kit-imat Hotel by the of-ficer. The 19-year-old

female received a 90-day driving prohibition and a 30-day vehicle impoundment.

At 2:20 p.m. the police were called to a complaint of a male threatened with a weapon. The per-son told police he was threatened with a

chopping maul. A sus-pect was soon after ar-rested on Dyke Road. A 50-year-old male resident of Kitimathas appeared before a judi-cial justice of the peace and released on strict conditions, pending a first appearance in Au-gust.

Continued from page 1An offer from the provincial gov-

ernment to oversee a mediation process has been met with refusal by the Gitx-san chiefs, and Percival said that they want to resolve the issue through a tra-ditional system.

“If you mediate you compromise your position and we are not saying that we do not own the lands,” said Percival.

“We have traditional forms of dispute resolution that these two Indian Act Bands do not want to enter into, so we have our own mechanisms for solving disputes but we are not going to enter a European mediation that would under-mine our own lands.”

Percival also said the Tsilhqot’n Supreme Court of Canada decision late last month strengthens the case for ab-

original title.“And given the Tsilhqot’in deci-

sion this week we know the crown’s legislation and their authority has been undermined severely by the Supreme Court of Canada in the granting of title lands.”

The Gitxsan wish to meet with the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum, she added.

A portable ul-trasound machine is now in use at the Kiti-mat General Hospital emergency room.

That and a laryn-goscope were the two major purchases the Kitimat General Hos-pital Foundation made of� cial at a donors lun-cheon on July 3.

The purchase of the ultrasound ma-chine is the Founda-tion’s � rst major pur-chase for the hospital.

The group be-gan with a donation towards the renova-tion of the emergency room, before fundrais-ing to make this latest purchase.

The laryngoscope was purchased with a $3,000 donation from the Haisla Nation Council.

“I’ve heard a number of people who’ve expressed that they feel its Northern Health’s responsibil-ity to purchase equip-ment,” said KGHF Chair Corinne Scott addressing donors who had gathered.

“That used to be the case a number of years ago, but we are all aware of the pro-vincial government’s cutbacks, not only to health care but other areas of their opera-tions, and as a result

Northern Health’s budget has been drasti-cally cut.”

To date the Foun-dation has raised over

$108,000.Health Services

Administrator for the hospital Jonathan Cooper said the device

is not limited to ultra-sound technicians but can be used by physi-cians as well.

He also empha-

sized that when the hospital puts its pri-orities for equipment it would like, includ-ing the portable ultra-

sound, it comes from front-line staff who make those recom-mendations.

So the ultrasound machine � lls a real need that staff has identi� ed, he said.

The bottom line is that the machine will speed up care.

“One of the exam-ples is if we had a trau-ma and we suspected some abdominal inju-ries we could use this to establish if there’s any obvious bleeding in the belly, for exam-ple,” said Cooper.

He said one por-table ultrasound is enough for a hospital this size.

The electrical fu-ture of the Northwest Regional Airport is go-ing to be a bit brighter courtesy of a � nancial boost from the federal government.

A federal Con-servative Member of Parliament was at the airport to announce the federal government is providing $3,706,121 over two years for an upgrade of the airport’s electrical system.

This is 85 per cent

of the total cost, with the airport having to come up $600,000 of its own money. The up-grades, to be competed this year, include new landing lights installed on the � eld to guide pilots in and new bea-cons on the surround-ing mountain ranges. A back-up generator will also be replaced, with the new one lo-cated in a different lo-cation inside the airport grounds.

Chevron Canada invites you to attend a Community Open House on the Clio Bay Restoration Project

Chevron invites you to learn more about the proposed Clio Bay Marine Life Restoration Project.

This proposed project would see Chevron excavate marine clay from the Kitimat LNG construction site at Bish Cove and work closely with the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans to deposit this natural material in specifi c locations in Clio Bay. The clay will cap-off decaying wood debris left by historic log booming operations that has accumulated on the bottom of Clio Bay, damaging the Bay’s natural ecosystem. A key goal of the project is to restore natural marine life populations in Clio Bay.

Come and share your thoughts and ideas with us and learn more about this innovative restoration project.

Home sale values highCameron Orr

Even as the volume of home sales through MLS has dropped in this � rst half of the year ver-sus the same time in 2013, the value of those sales has kept remarkably steady.

The BC Northern Real Estate Board (BC-NREB) released their six-month � gures for the year, showing 94 home sales in Kitimat. That equated to $26 million dollars.

In 2013 it was 124 properties, worth $26.9 mil-lion.

Half of the 49 single family homes sold so far this year sold for less than $321,000 and, on aver-age, it took these homes 22 days to sell, says the report.

At the end of June there were 78 properties of all types available for purchase through the MLS.

The report does not take in to account homes that were privately sold.

• Wash your dishes, clothes and yourself, including brushing your teeth, at least 30 metres away from rivers, streams, lakes or ponds. When washing with soap, use it well away from natural water sources and pour it into highly absorbent ground.

• Use dead wood you fi nd on the ground to make a fi re (providing fi res are permitted) and make sure the ashes are cool before you leave.

It did not take very long for a B.C. First Nations group to respond in a rather dramatic fashion to the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision recognizing aboriginal land title.

The action called for certainly makes one wonder if this was the kind of response the Supreme Court was anticipating in the hinterland. Really, they are somewhat isolated from real people in Ottawa.

Still, on Thursday the hereditary chiefs of the Gitxsan First Nations served notice to the highest pro� le “squatters” on their 33,000 square mile territory, de-manding Canadian National Rail, as well as logging companies and sport � sher-men to leave their territory along the Skeena River.

That done they will continue to ne-gotiate heir dispute with the federal and provincial governments over treaty talks.

The railway and others noti� ed are being requested to be off the land by Au-gust 4. Really? Not likely to happen.

At the same time, further west, the Gitxaala First Nation, which occupies territory on islands off the North Coast, announced its own plans to � le a lawsuit in the Federal Court of Appeal last Fri-day, challenging Ottawa’s recent approv-al of the Northern Gateway pipeline from Alberta to Kitimat.

This is likely just the startling open-

ing salvo in a landslide slew of ludicrous claim demands as the remaining ap-proximately 200-plus other FNs looking to emphasize their existing overlapping claims to ownership of more then 100 per cent of all of B.C.

It seems fairly clear, in the short term the ruling will likely impact virtually all treaty negotiations - whether active or stalled.

That is not to mention the progress of any many energetically disputed new re-sources developments in the B.C., where there are currently very few historic or modern treaties in place.

After all, there’s nothing big interna-tional investors fear more than the threat of protracted court activity further de-laying multi-billion dollar projects any-where. Kitimat has seen much more than its fair share of this.

It seems to me also that the “yawn” response by B.C. Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation John Rus-tad, who was “on the road” and therefore

unavailable for interview, is indicative of the vague response reaction we can expect while provincial and corporate lawyers survey the potential for dam-age.

Minister Rustad dilly-dallied by e-mailing a brief statement, saying the provincial Liberal government “takes the courts’ direction on consultation very seriously.”

No doubt much of this reaction is already expected by the aforementioned lawyer aggregation.

Rustad - still obfuscating - added in the current Gitxsan case, his ministry has been working with the communities to try and resolve territorial disputes.

At the other end of the spectrum, Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cul-len was much swifter to leap on the po-tential for chaos created by the decision. “The ruling to have aboriginal groups control and claim possession of their an-cestral lands has major implications on northwest energy projects moving for-ward,” said Cullen.

CN has yet to reply of� cially to the “order to evict” and I don’t expect to see train traf� c dwindle on August 4 west of Prince George. I don’t anticipate any slowdown in logging activity and I doubt sports � shermen will be staying “out of the water,” along the Skeena, as if Jaws had been let loose.

Gitxsan ‘evict’ rail, loggers, others

Kings of KingfisherThe situation regarding the townhouse develop-

ment on King� sher Avenue, essentially behind some homes on Margetts Street, is an interesting one.

The situation, as a refresher, is that the developer King� sher Development Corp., wants to build a 54-unit townhouse complex on a plot of land right by the golf course.

They own the land, and its currently zoned for 40-units but the developer wants a zoning amend-ment to let them build 14 more on the property.

Council turned down that proposal on a number of concerns, including the lack of neighbourhood consultation which the developer had promised to do prior to council’s � nal decision. (I was at the meet-ing when Phil Germuth asked if the developer would approach the nearby neighbours and was told they would do that.)

The developers have since held an open house about the project, but that followed the denial of their application.

Now a Community Charter rule allowing the is-sue to return before a six month waiting period is re-quired (I’d say it’s an obscure rule but then I’d argue most rules in the Community Charter are ‘obscure’ to most people) has been invoked and the process has restarted.

A number of Margetts Street residents have come forward against the proposal, saying they have concern over traf� c, proximity to their homes and the impact to privacy, and other thoughts.

They have a good point that with only so much construction investment having been committed for Kitimat — LNG projects aren’t an of� cial go yet — the development is all in anticipating of projects, but there’s a real risk of overbuilding housing. It’s a problem that has occurred elsewhere in the province.

On the other hand a housing study done in 2012 (which I believe will be updated in the near future) showed a need for new housing stock which a devel-opment like this would contribute to. And being right near the golf course would hopefully help support the at-times struggling facility.

Then there are the arguments from the Margetts homeowners that Kitimat still has the Alexander Townhouses, nearly all empty and an eyesore that should be � xed up.

There’s a bunch more to the conversation that’s hard to � t in one spot here — I haven’t even talked about density bonuses — but the bottom line is this is a complicated proposal.

Should the Council have allowed this application to return so soon after denial? I’d lean towards it be-ing the wrong call unless the application was dramat-ically altered. (And some councillors think it was.)

But now that it’s restarted the developer will certainly have to tread very carefully if they ever want to get their way.

Young author’s piece on energy futureThe following is the winning sub-mission in the Kitimat Questions: Energy short story contest spon-sored by the Kitimat Museum & Archives. It is titled The Strug-

gle: An Energy Story. Written by Candace Abercrombie:

It’s been 43 years since they started phasing out the use of gas and coal for energy. The big gas corporations aren’t happy and have been fighting the govern-ment’s decision, trying to insert moles into the system to try and shut it down. Companies have lost millions from the loss of tax money, but they’re still trying to squeeze what they can from what’s left of the old taxes. The men who were once tycoons of the fossil fuel industry have been reduced to poverty, a stark con-

trast to the life they once had. Many people have lost their lives in the struggle to become green-er, most being the leaders of the green movement, assassinated by corporations fearing the loss of dependency on their product.

I adjusted the solar panel strapped to the roof of my car, there were clouds in the sky and the sun was struggling to peek through. Hopefully there’s enough sun to power the car, I thought. The air was a bit chilly this morning, and I shivered while getting my keys from my pocket. I paused before opening the door and looked at my car, my old 3090 black Honda didn’t have a fancy solar panel like the brand new 3120 models, but I didn’t care. The car was only 5 years

older than me and had once run on gas, but my parents had switched it over as soon as they bought it as gas was becoming hard to find. I unlocked the driver’s door and sat down, the grey seat made a slight creaking sound as I put my weight on it. I put the key in the ignition, flicking the switch on the roof to turn on the solar panel, and turned the key. The car struggled to turn on.

“Come on baby, you can do it,” I encouraged, willing the Hon-da to start.

The engine whined and coughed, but still wouldn’t turn on.

“Please don’t do this now,” I pleaded, “not today.”

The car fell silent and I gave up trying to start it. I sat in the

silence for a few minutes and be-gan reliving old memories; it was cloudy days like this that made me miss my parents. They’d been a big part of the green move-ment, and had been killed by one of the gas companies’ hired guns when I was just 16. I looked in the rear-view mirror at the back seat, reminiscing of when I would sit back there on road trips with my parents. There were so many memories made within the grey interior of this car. I could almost see myself sitting back there; singing along to whatever song was popular at the time. I looked down at the steering wheel, run-ning my hand along the smooth leather which my dad used to spend so much time cleaning and caring for. The car still had the

subtle “new car” scent from the car fresheners my dad used to stash all over the old Honda, he would pretend to be scared that the car would catch my “sticky little kid” smell.

While I was lost in my thoughts there was a sharp tap on my window, making me jump and bringing me back to the present.

“Car troubles?”It was my best friend Felix.

He lived next door to me and we often carpooled to work at the so-lar factory. We worked together assembling solar panels for the country. They established the factory in my hometown, Kitimat, B.C., in 3050, because there was a lot of space to expand and build new factories.

Mihoko finds respect in KitimatFinally released

from their internment camp, Mihoko Sakai’s family found that mov-ing back to Richmond wasn’t without prob-lems.

There was lasting discrimination and re-sentment from the war, the 1,200 boat Japa-nese-Canadian com-mercial fishing fleet had been divided and sold and their old haunts just weren’t the same.

But life went on. Jobs were plentiful so the Sakai siblings were able to work and for Mihoko, who had trained as a seamstress, there was work for her too.

For Yasuchi Sakai, Mihoko’s father, there was disappointment. The Fraser River fish fleet, based in Ste-veston, didn’t want Jap-anese fishermen.

Fortunately, up in Prince Rupert they needed fishermen - even Japanese ones. Nelson Brothers wanted expe-rienced people so they called on Yasuchi. In fact they conscripted him to go into the inte-rior and search out oth-er displaced Japanese fishermen.

The Sakais were back in the fish busi-ness.

Now Mihoko was ready for the world and her match-maker friend, Yae, thought she might have just the right person for her

good friend - her older brother Jim.

On a trip to Van-couver from his home in Revelstoke where his family operated Waki-ta’s Red and White gen-eral store, Jim took Mi-hoko out to dinner and the rest is history.

They were married in a very snowy Revel-stoke in January, 1956. Brian, their first born, arrived as Revelstoke’s New Year’s baby of 1957.

For Jim and Mi-hoko business had al-ways been an obses-sion. The Wakitas also were keenly involved in sports fishing and were veteran merchants with extensive retail experi-ence.

Throughout Can-ada, including Rev-elstoke, people were talking about Kitimat, the brand new “Alumi-num City”.

Jim and a few friends, including his married sister Mrs. Ni-shi, decided to travel to the northwest to check out the prospects. They were impressed and convinced that Kitimat had a real future. With-in months, their fami-

lies were packed up and on the road north.

Jim could have worked at Alcan but in-stead followed the fam-ily tradition and opted for retail. His store was City Centre Hardware which opened in 1957 in the lower City Cen-tre Mall.

Jim and Mihoko were the second hard-ware/sports fishing business after Cog-lin’s which was up at Nechako. They fig-ured there was room for both and they were right.

Their business has moved location since but still endures, be-coming one of Kiti-mat’s oldest retail es-tablishments, now for 57 years.

Over the years Mi-hoko and Jim saw their large family of seven children flourish.

They branched into construction and other areas, were al-ways there for the hockey and they sure liked their fishing.

That’s what Jim was doing right un-til the end - he died on a fishing trip down the channel at just 53.

He was doing what he loved but it was still a big shock.

However, life goes on. Mihoko and family were used to adversity and they just carried on with the store and other businesses, helping the community to grow.

Mihoko and her family have had hon-ours bestowed on them over the years. There is a street named in their honour. In 1987 Miho-ko was declared busi-nesswoman of the year and in 1998 the entire

family was named the Kinsmen’s Citizen of the Year.

In addition, they were instrumental in promoting Kitimat as a sports fishing desti-nation and were even advising the Gibbs tackle manufacturing company.

When naming two of their new lures, the company reps turned to Jim Wakita. He told them to name them Kit-a-Mat and Koho, and they did.

Continued from page 4This will all take some time but, no doubt,

we’ll quickly learn how many FN bands and the lawyers will jump into the courts to seek to take creative advantage from the Supreme Court decision.

And we’ll find out whether Nathan Cul-len is right or whether the Vancouver Sun’s Ian Mulgrew has a better handle on the de-cision. He sees it as a “big win for govern-ments” and suggests First Nations will have no greater advantage than than non-native landowners in a fee simple dispute with gov-ernments.

Instead he strongly criticizes the length of the trial that cost taxpayers $40 million and made only lawyers rich. Many of B.C.’s First Nations bands will seek to add them-selves to the lawyers status but again, the best of the rest of our legal minds will be seeking holes in the court’s decision.

Grab your coats, silly season is upon us

Spin control all they have

Dear Sir,Well at last it’s

raining so can’t do any gardening or lawn care so here I am with a hodge podge of things I have been thinking about while doing the above chores.

Took a drive around town on a beau-tiful sunny weekend and did make some ob-servations.

The District gar-dens look wonderful, well kept and colour-ful.

Thanks to the city gardeners. You make us proud as do the ma-jority of homeowners who take pride in their homes.

Good to see the bustling of a vibrant community again.

One thing that made me very sad; the well kept ball fields and soccer fields, which have cost a lot to maintain did not have

one person using them.There was a time

on a weekend you could hardly find a place to park if you wanted to watch a game.

The soccer games were exciting, the Greeks against the Italians, the Germans against the Portuguese, etc.

Yes these were the “foreign workers” who came here to help build this community and then stayed and raised their families, teaching them how to live and be happy in a commu-nity.

All 54 nationalities got along.

If it wasn’t for these people a lot of you wouldn’t be here.

I guess it’s diffi-cult to play games with your ears plugged in and your hands texting or what ever you call that stuff you do these days.

I spend more qual-ity time with my dogs than most people do when they are out with their families.

As far as the soccer fields and ball fields go I think we should turn at least one of them into a dog park.

They’re not used for anything anyway and the number of peo-ple walking their dogs increases all the time.

Now to a subject that really gets my dander up: The word ‘democracy’. What does that mean?

For example when the media and council say “all Kitimat” is either for or against a project it is not neces-sarily true.

There are peo-ple on both sides and therefore it ignores the 46 per cent who are for it.

This is media ma-nipulation at it’s best.

And then to add to the mess council creat-ed, when they are sup-posed to be for all in a community, they give an award to a group who has divided the community.

There are so many good groups doing great things for every-one in the community and they do not get awards.

I wonder who paid for those thousands of plebiscite ballots that had the word “unde-cided” on it and this group didn’t want it so thousands more had to

be printed.We need a change

to a council who is for everyone and not just an outspoken few.

Whatever hap-pens to a new project doesn’t make my pen-sion any bigger. It’s just a case of being fair to all.

And what’s this thing about “good news” at council meet-ings?

Is it good news that some are doing the job for which they were elected.

I would think good news is over and above your job description.

Who cares how many meetings you attend or how many

times your phone rang?We all know the

“silly season” is upon us. The photo ops prove it, and the prom-ises are yet to come.

Maybe a Wendys!Hopefully not

promises of Pytrade, break bulk port and ferries this time.

“Nothing im-proves a man’s man-ners like an election” - T.C.Haliburton, Sam Slick 1836.

Just remember all you politicians:

Today a peacock, tomorrow a feather duster.

One last thing. I think it’s time for all government and union negotiations to be tele-

vised so we know who is really telling the truth.

Everyone these days talks about trans-parency. Of course the media would be out of work.

Just a thought.Aren’t you glad it

doesn’t rain often.I don’t expect or

want everyone to agree with me but these are things I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks about them.

By the way don’t bother to leave rude and silly messages on my recorder.

Keep smiling,I’m watching and

listening,Roma Burnett

Dear Sir,On June 27 Enbridge filed

with the NEB the documents re-quired by conditions 20 and 21 regarding their Transportation Service Agreements (TSA).

They acknowledge “ As of July 2014, Northern Gateway has not executed firm TSAs with its prospective shippers”.

In short there are no agree-ments in place and they are uncertain when there will be. I cannot avoid contrasting this announcement with the CBC piece on August 24, 2011 titled “Northern Gateway Pipeline Fully Booked” which states: “Calgary-based oil pipeline op-erator Enbridge said Wednesday it has lined up enough shippers to fill its proposed Northern

Gateway pipelines project that would ship oilsands crude to the west coast for transport to Asian markets.

Enbridge did not iden-tify which Asian and Canadian companies have committed to use the $5.5 billion facility, but Chinese refining giant Sinopec has said it is on board with the project.

Companies have fully sub-scribed to long-term service on both a 525,000 barrel per day line carrying crude from Alberta to Kitimat, B.C., as well as a smaller line that would bring imported condensates inland. Janet Holder, Enbridge’s execu-tive vice-president of Western access, called the shipper agree-ments “a major step forward”

for the project, which she said would enable Canadian energy companies to fetch a better price for the crude they produce”.

So these announcements were at best, pure fiction in all likelihood designed to reassure Enbridge investors who must be very nervous about this doomed project.

Unfortunately for these in-vestors, the public in British Columbia has learned to sepa-rate the facts from the fantasy world of advertising and corpo-rate spin.

In the case of the Northern Gateway proposal, and despite the Harper government’s preor-dained approval, corporate spin is a about all they have left.

What: A public hearing will be held on Monday 28 July at 7:30 pm at Council Chambers, 606 Mountainview Square to consider

‘R3-A1, 1851 Kingfisher, Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1852, 2014.’

What changes? Kingfisher Development Corporation has submitted an application for Council to consider the following amendments to the R3-A1 Zone: increase maximum lot coverage from 25% to 35%; increase maximum floor area ratio (FAR) from 0.5 to 0.72; decrease in the minimum distance between buildings from 9 metres to 3.5 metres; and increase from 40 to 54 permitted units. Council is considering ‘R3-A1 1851 Kingfisher, Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1852, 2014.’ This bylaw would enable development of an eight building, 54-unit townhouse complex. The bylaw would also replace a Land Use Contract which had governed development of the property. The applicant will provide over 6 acres of land to be designated park, and will contribute up to $70,000 towards Kitimat’s Affordable Housing Fund. Final design and siting of buildings will be determined through a Development Permit Application.

Josh MasseyWhat seemed a long

shot just several months ago has become reality as a Chi-nese investment firm has an-nounced it is going ahead with the purchase of two large sections of land at the City of Terrace-owned Skeena Indus-trial Development Park.

Amongst much specula-tion over which industry or industries would be set up on the site, the city has an-nounced that the first will be an alfalfa protein extraction plant, the first of possibly sev-eral different manufacturing plants.

Taisheng International Investment Services, a Burn-

aby-based investment firm, is making the purchase for $11.8 million from the city of 480 hectares of the industrial park located a couple kilome-tres south of the Northwest Regional Airport off Hwy 37 South.

Taisheng is the invest-ment arm of the Qinhuangdao Economic Development Zone located on the east coast of China, two hours from Bei-jing.

“Today’s agreement marks a major milestone for the City and Kitselas. Diver-sifying our local economy is a priority for council, and this sale will pave the way for industrial development at the Skeena Industrial De-velopment Park, create new employment opportunities and reduce our reliance on residential property and busi-ness taxes to fund services,” said Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski, who has been on business trips twice since November to China to cement the deal.

The alfalfa protein extrac-tion factory will be located on a 13-hectare parcel of the

purchased area and bring 170 new jobs to the region, a city release states.

“Taisheng expects land preparation and supporting infrastructure work will be-gin soon and construction of the first factory could begin in 2017 or 2018,” the release continues.

The area where the one or more factories will be lo-cated is directly west of a Kitselas-owned area of the industrial park which Falcon Enterprises is developing as a camp for workers who would build a natural gas pipeline for one of the planned lique-fied natural gas plants at Kiti-mat.

Marlins breaking recordsSubmitted

The Kitimat marlins swim club at-tended the AAA long course (50 meter pool) provincial swim championships in Victoria.

The AAA provincials are the highest level provincial champs.

To attend swimmers had to achieve a minimum of two AAA provincial time standards.

The Marlins had seven swimmers qualify and had six attended the champs. There were over 700 of the best swim-mers from around B.C. and the Yukon in attendance making for extremely tough competition. Each event had between 40 and 60 competitors competing in them.

Brander Pacheco (15) broke the Points North regional record in the 15-and-over 100 meter butterfly in his

heat swim then re-broke it during the fi-nal placing 6th overall in the 14-15 boys category.

The old record was held by Kyle Nartz of the Terrace Bluebacks swim club from 1999.

His time was 1:02.28. Pacheco’s new record time is now 1:01.41.

Pacheco also made the A final (top eight race again to determine first to eighth every night) and finished 7th in the 200 butterfly.

Pacheco made the B final ( to deter-mine placings 9-16th) in the 400 I’m and 200 bk placing 11th in both events.

Kleanza Cathers (14) achieved her second western national qualifying time in the 50 meter freestyle an placed 12th in the 14-15 girls b final for the event.

Zachary Dumas (14) had his best result in the 14-15 boys 400 IM placing 19th overall.

Ben Anker (15) finished just behind Dumas for his best placing of the meet, a 20th overall placing in the 14-15 boys 400 IM.

Alivia soares (14) had her best plac-ing in the 14-15 girls 200 meter breast-stroke, a 20th overall placing.

Ethan Velho (13) had his best result in the boys 12-13 year old 200 back-stroke placing 23rd overall.

Low-income energy programTom Fletcher

BC Hydro and FortisBC are expand-ing their low-income energy conservation programs to reduce the impact of rising elec-tricity costs.

One program of-fers free energy saving kits, including compact fluorescent light bulbs, weatherstripping, ther-mometers to optimize operation of the fridge and freezer and a high-efficiency shower head. The other offers free home energy evalu-ations to see if they home qualifies for an energy-efficient refrig-erator or extra insula-tion.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett said the government changed regulations to increase the low-income cut-

off to qualify for the programs. A family of four earning up to $57,200 can now qual-ify, up from $44,000, a change Bennett said will almost double the number of households who are eligible. The threshold for a two-person household is $47,100.

Customers of the two utilities have to ap-ply and provide proof of income to take ad-vantage of the pro-grams.

Bennett said last November he would seek ways to provide extra help for lower-in-come customers when he unveiled a new BC Hydro rate plan. That plan will see electricity rates rise by 28% over the next five years, with further increases to be

determined at that time.BC Hydro has

other energy-saving incentives that are not income-tested, includ-ing a rebate program for installation of in-sulation, draftproofing, heat pumps and water heaters. Those require homeowners to pay for assessment to see if they qualify for rebates.

Bennett said BC Hydro spends $160 million a year on its whole range of energy efficiency programs, including those for commercial and indus-trial customers.

The utility has set an “aggressive” goal to meet 78% of its de-mand growth through energy conservation, reducing the need to build new generating capacity, he said.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett, Premier Christy Clark, and BC Hydro’s Gary Hamer and Joanna Sofield demonstrate the products available in the new Energy Saving Kit in Cranbroo. Sally MacDonald

A wedding photo of Mihoko Sakai with husband Jim Wakita. Submitted photo

Winners of the short story competition by the Kitimat Museum & Archives pose with their prizes. They are Jaskirat Dhillon, Alysia Luethje, Candace Abercrombie, and kneeling is Brennan Bantle. They are flanked by writing judges Cameron Orr (left) and Robin Rowland. Not available for the photo was writing judge Eden Robinson.

Continued from page 5They have been

two of the top fishing lures over the years and will always be associated with the Wakita family.

Even after eight decades Mihoko is quite active.

She still does much of the company number crunching for her businesses and as grand matriarch she takes a keen interest in her family and of

course Kitimat. Mi-hoko has always been a cheer leader for our town.

She is not bitter about the confinement years in Lillooet.

She does acknowl-edge the apology and cash compensation provided in 1988 by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, but does la-ment that many of her parents’ generation had died before see-ing the amends which

were made.What Mihoko

admires most about Kitimat, is that it has been a place where ev-eryone counts, where people are valued for whom they are and people are not dis-criminated against.

She says that in Kitimat people are treated with respect.

And the commu-nity of Kitimat cer-tainly respects Mrs. Wakita.

Continued from page 5The government,

in an effort to make ev-eryone become green, forced people to work for the solar companies from the moment they graduated high school.

“Felix, you almost gave me a heart attack!” I exclaimed.

I leaned over and unlocked the passenger door, allowing Felix to climb in the car.

“You’d better hurry up Charlotte. We’re going to be late for our shift,” Felix said, “and you know what they do to people who are late.”

I shuddered, think-ing of the horror stories of what happened to those who were late in the past.

“I know, but the car won’t start. Would you mind taking a look un-der the hood for me?” I asked.

“Sure no problem,” Felix said, opening the door and getting back out.

He hit the hood twice, signaling for me to pop the hood for him. As he was looking at the engine I became lost in my memories again. I looked out at the yard, seeing myself at age 6, running in the sun and grass, kicking a soccer ball with my dad. He loved sports, especially soccer, and always en-couraged me to play them. I stayed in the past for a few more moments before think-ing about my future. Where would I be in 20 years? Will the fighting be over? Will we be-come dependent on gas again? Will I still be working at the factory? Would I have a family? There were so many questions that I didn’t yet have the answers to. I heard the passenger door slam and looked over at Felix.

“Try it now,” he

said, getting comfort-able and fastening his seatbelt.

I tried turning the key once again and the engine roared to life.

“Thank you so much,” I thanked Felix.

“No problem. It was an easy fix.”

I glanced at the clock, it was 10:45, and we have 15 min-utes to get down to the plant. I put the car in reverse and backed out

of my driveway. We turned down the street and headed down the main road to the facto-ry. Only 10 more hours until I can go home, I thought, 10 more hours until I’m free again.

Frank lived the fi rst 19 years of his life in Budapest, Hungary. He was once imprisoned for

weeks for making a political joke while on the bus, and then

severely beaten, suffering some hearing loss in one ear. In October

1956 he fought in the Hungarian Uprising where he was imprisoned and when he was about to be shot, his friends broke him out of prison and Frank fl ed across the border into Austria. He was in a refugee camp for a few months and then in the spring of 1957, he came to Canada. After a couple of short jobs he ended up in Kitimat and started working for Alcan in August 1957. There he worked as a potman, crane operator and mostly as a welder. He retired in 1997 but never gave up welding. People still came to him for his skill with a welding rod. In his spare time he enjoyed fi shing, hunting and camping with his family. Frank was a caring and generous person who always did everything he could for his family. He fought valiantly against his pancreatic cancer and the chemo was working but his kidneys failed. He passed away with his wife by his side. Frank will be missed by his wife of 51 years Nellie, son Frank (Nicole), daughter Heidi (Anthony), grandchildren Alexis and Matthew, and his sister Eva in Hungary.The family thanks Dr. Van Schalkwyk (Skully) and the nurses (especially Debbie) at Kitimat General Hospital for the good care Frank received. Also thanks go to Roger Wallace, Mary Etta Rypma, and many other good friends and neighbours for their care and support. Donations to the BC Cancer Agency in Frank’s name would

be appreciated. There will be no memorial service.

Pushback on Site CTom Fletcher

The community most affected by the proposed third dam on the Peace River is urging the B.C. gov-ernment to get more answers before going ahead.

Hudson’s Hope Mayor Gwen Johans-son made the rounds of Vancouver media last week, backed up by a consultant’s report that questions the need for the $8 billion project assessed by a federal-provincial joint review panel this spring.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett has said the cabinet will consid-er the federal panel’s report and decide this fall whether to issue permits to allow con-struction to begin in 2015.

The report by plan-ning and engineering consultants Urban Sys-tems reinforces many of the doubts expressed

by the joint review panel, including the cost of the dam and the alternatives available to meet anticipated power demand.

Those options include upgrading the gas-fired Burrard Thermal generating station in the Lower Mainland. The federal review estimated that upgrade could be done for the $1 billion that BC Hydro would pay in interest on the debt generated by the Site C dam.

Urban Systems looked at other options, including geothermal, solar, new natural gas generation and “mi-crogrids” with distrib-uted power from solar or other small sources.

Johansson said the dam would flood more productive farmland in the Peace River valley, and commit the region to another big power source for 100 years

at a time when small, distributed sources are becoming competitive.

“Hudson’s Hope has done its bit,” Jo-hansson told CBC ra-dio Wednesday. “We have suffered the con-sequences of the Ben-nett Dam and Peace Canyon dam. If there are alternatives I think we should have a really close look at them.”

The Urban Sys-tems report compares Site C’s estimated power cost of $110 per megawatt hour with a new gas cogeneration plant in Calgary that is expected to cost $30 per megawatt hour.

Johansson echoed the joint review panel and NDP leader John Horgan’s call for Site C to be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Com-mission, to assess its cost estimates and BC Hydro’s projections for future electricity de-mand.

Intersection worksCameron Orr

The town will put a $55,000 sur-plus from their road reconstruction budget towards paving and milling the Lahakas Boulevard intersection at Haisla Boulevard.

That money will go towards the ultimate goal of replacing the traffic control boxes at Lahakas and Tsim-shian Boulevards. The staff say in a report to council that they’ve experi-

enced problems with traffic control at those lights and the replacement will require milling of the asphalt in specific areas.

Engineering notes, though, that the asphalt condition on Haisla Bou-levard around those intersections “is deteriorating and will soon require replacement.”

Council unanimously approved the works on July 7.
