A delegation from Unifor 2300’s bargaining team, at top left, speaks to Kitimat Council in a particularly heated exchange April 7. At right is councillor Mario Feldhoff, CAO Ron Poole and Mayor Phil Germuth as they listen to the presentation which included hollering from the gallery. Below right, the union held a rally before the meeting.

No ground was gainedCameron Orr

It was likely not what either side wanted in a municipal strike which has ground onwards for over 40 days.

An April 7 council meeting turned, temporarily, in to a public hollering match when Unifor 2300 members were given the � oor to present informa-tion to council.

But union members hoping to hear answers to speci� c questions were de-nied when council opted to maintain only hearing from the union as they presented details from their � nal of-fer, a response to the union’s belief that councillors hadn’t been given adequate explanation of their demands from the city’s bargaining unit.

That said, council through the may-

or, and through councillor Mario Feld-hoff even, did shoot back a few words, although nothing that speci� cally ad-dressed items in the contract.

The union’s presentation centred on two points, one that councillors were not properly informed of the union’s own offer to settle before the strike even began, and secondly to question why some aspects of a new collective agreement are not being discussed at the bargaining table.

“We need to know why council never got to see the offer to settle,” said Martin McIlwrath, the business agent representing Unifor 2300 in bargain-ing. “If you look at the way things have played out, council wasn’t willing to continue bargaining, never got to see

our offer to settle. Our members, your employees, were out on the streets from February 28 to March 16. March 16 is the � rst time council got to see our offer to settle. How is that possible?”

Mayor Phil Germuth reiterated what he’s said publicly before, that council has been very informed on of-fers.

That said, he admits that all coun-cillors likely didn’t read the entire 40+ page union document, relying on the town’s bargaining team to inform them of any changes made from existing of-fers.

“They updated us on whatever changes were there from previous days of negotiations,” said Germuth.

Union brings lines to other facilitiesCameron Orr

Both the Kitimat Public Library and the Kitimat Museum & Archives closed for the day, April 7, due to Unifor 2300 pick-eters in front of the facilities.

The library is staffed by CUPE members and the library workers reportedly opted to show support for the day by not crossing the line.

That said, the library association and the CUPE members later each voted to continue operations as normal at the library, meaning the facility won’t close if a line returns.

The staff at the museum are not unionized but the facility

also opted to close for the day in support, but like the library have no plans to close again.

Picketers had returned to the library and museum in the days since.

In a statement from museum curator Louise Avery, she writes that “Although the picket line continues at the muse-um…staff members are back to work, returning the museum to its regular hours of operation.”

The museum and the library are District of Kitimat owned buildings which gives the municipal union the ability to picket them.

Outside support called in for strikeCameron Orr

It’s come down to an external hand.The District of Kitimat will follow

through on taking on the services of a third-party to � gure out the best way to resolve the impasse of the municipal Collective Agreement.

In an open letter to the community

Mayor Phil Germuth said that the town had given the union until 4 p.m. Sunday to reconsider the town’s last � nal offer, otherwise it would be rescinded and the external party would be brought in.

“Negotiations with the Union have not resulted in the � nalization of a Col-lective Agreement. Both sides recognize

we have reached an impasse. It is evi-dent another course of action must be un-dertaken,” Germuth wrote.

It didn’t take long for the union to publish their own response, saying that they’d even be looking at legal options, as they dispute the mayor’s message.

Suspect vehicle in erratic driving calls found in ditchMarch 30At 11:59 a.m. the

RCMP were alerted to a possible missing person, reported by the woman’s ex-boyfriend who had not seen her for a couple of weeks. The person was located at a home in Kitimat and the complainant was notified.

March 31At 7:50 p.m. the

RCMP were given two reports of an er-ratic driver. The police, while patrolling, came

across the suspect ve-hicle, off the road in a ditch on Nalabila Boulevard at Sparks Avenue. The driver was suspected of being impaired by drugs, and was given a 24-hour driving ban and given a ticket for driving with-out due care and atten-tion. The driver was also taken to the Kiti-mat General Hospital.

April 1At 9:25 p.m. po-

lice were called to deal with an intoxicated

male at a business at City Centre. The offi-cers found a man who had slurred speech and could not walk without stumbling. The man was arrested for being intoxicated in a public place and held in cells until the morning when sober.

April 2The back window

to a pick-up truck was reportedly shattered, police say. Investiga-tion has led officers to suspect the window

was broken by a rock slung from a neigh-bour’s lawnmower.

At 6:49 p.m. the police picked up a woman near Nechako Centre under the Men-tal Health Act. The woman was reportedly talking to herself and walking without shoes. She was taken to the hospital for an assess-ment.

April 3The RCMP at-

tended to a collision between a youth on a

dirt bike and a pick-up truck, on Columbia Avenue. It was a minor collision with no inju-ries. The youth and his parents were spoken to, police say.

A 32-year-old male was arrested af-ter police were called on a domestic assault file. The person ar-rested was actually the complainant who called police, saying he was allegedly be-ing assaulted by his girlfriend, the police

say. The individual has been released on a promise to appear and an undertaking.

April 4Police checked in

on a person reportedly intoxicated and sleep-ing in his vehicle on Alcan Way. Police ar-rived to find the person outside of the vehicle, and told officers he had fallen asleep while

charging his cell phone but had no intention to drive. The male was brought back to his room.

April 5A 48-year-old

Californian male was given a three day driv-ing prohibition after blowing a ‘warn’ in a roadside screening de-vice after being pulled over in a traffic stop.

The union followed up that message saying they would seek a mediator from the Labour Relations Board.

The LRB offers several services relating to collective bar-gaining relations.

Unifor’s Business Agent Martin McIlwrath told the Senti-nel that they have made the application and at press time was awaiting word from the LRB if the District of Kitimat would accept the offer.

“This is an opportunity to settle this and get through this labour dispute and we hope they take us up on this offer,” he said.

Mayor Phil Germuth said, as of early Monday morning, he was not aware of the District having received the application from the LRB, but such a request, if received formally, would be discussed at the council’s meeting later that day.

He said the external negotiator the District has hired is not a part of services offered through the LRB.

“This is somebody to go in and do negotiations for us see-

ing as we’re refusing to put our people back in to an envi-ronment like that, where they’re getting sworn at and abused everyday. We’ve had enough of it,” said Germuth.

He expects some new movement on negotiations by mid-week.

“What we’re expecting in a day or two this person is go-ing to know either there is a deal to be made or there isn’t, and from there we’ll go right away to hope-fully agreeing to a mediator or an arbitrator.”

Germuth couldn’t immediately say who this external negotiator is, or how much the services of this person will cost.

Part of the cost will depend on how long they employ this person for, but Germuth maintains the Dis-trict was forced into this direction.

Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, April 15, 2015 3

Motorists stop-ping for Tim Hor-tons in Terrace need to be aware they could be breaking a traffic law while waiting in line at the restaurant chain’s Keith Ave./Hwy16 location.

The warning issued by Terrace RCMP follows a complaint made about traffic spilling across the sidewalk and on to Kalum Street at the en-trance to the drive-through.

“Police will be monitoring this situation and issu-ing fines for those drivers insisting on blocking the flow of traffic and pedestri-ans,” said Corporal Philip Crack of the RCMP’s highway patrol.

“Drivers should consider using alter-nate routes so as not to contribute to this problem,” he said.

The fine may only be $40 for blocking a business entrance or exit or blocking traffic but repeat offenders can get a ticket of $196 and six points against their driver’s licences.

The federal govern-ment will not be asking the country’s highest court to overturn a se-ries of court decisions which ruled that the Kitselas First Nation is owed compensation for a land transaction dating back over 120 years. The government had 60 days to file an appeal with the Su-preme Court of Canada following last year’s Federal Court decision which upheld an earlier Specific Claims Tri-bunal ruling that dates back to 1891 and deals with a 10.5 acre parcel of land located on the banks of the Skeena River.

The tribunal acts like a court with a judge and was set up in 2008 to hear cases claims on First Nation land out-side of the treaty pro-cess.

KITIMAT UNDERSTANDING THE ENVIRONMENT

K.U.T.E.

THIS MESSAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY:


“Aluminum in� nitely recyclable”

READ ANDRECYCLE

Seasonal Clothing StorageStoring your seasonal clothing can be done using natural alternatives instead of using mothballs - which are comprised of chemical pesiticides and deodorants.Cedar wood balls, or cinnamon sticks, bay leaves or whole cloves wrapped in cheesecloth will keep clothing smelling fresh and help reduce any damage from mold or moths.

Recycling society needs people or depot could closeKitimat Understanding the Environment, the

non-profit society which operates the recycling depot in the Service Centre is potentially on its last threads.

The society issued a notice last Friday which announced all of the existing board members will resign following May 26, the date of the society’s annual general meeting.

It was said each board member had decided to resign independently.

The AGM will be held at the library at 7 p.m.The Society Act requires a minimum of three

officers on the board. If not then KUTE loses its society status.

The conclusion to all of that would mean the

recycling depot would close down.“We encourage the citizens of Kitimat to step

up and volunteer to keep the Society and the Re-cycling Depot going. Please direct any inquiries to [email protected].”

One of KUTE’s current directors says the de-cisions to resign were personal, which essentially lead to this perfect storm of having no one left at the end. There are only three people on the board at the moment.

“What happened was I got sick, and to reduce the amount of stress I have in my life I’m shed-ding some of the more onerous responsibilities I have, one of them being KUTE,” said Ken Mait-land. “There are times where we’re having to deal

with stuff multiple times a week. That was just added stress I didn’t need.”

Another director had health issues in their ex-tended family which took their focus, and it left the majority of work on to Barb Hall, KUTE’s president.

“That’s a lot of stress on her,” said Maitland.He said the directors spoke with a lawyer to

figure out the best way to go forward and it was recommended they go public on the need to give people time to understand the importance of the society and for people to step in.

“What [the lawyer] recommended is an-nounce resignations well in advance to try to ex-plain to the community what the consequences will be, see if [we] can round up more members to step forward.

Closing the depot would also put four em-ployees out of work.

“If you have enough people it’s manage-able,” said Maitland, adding, “This series of cir-cumstances that make it difficult with all of these projects going on, resulted in a very high turnover. We were regularly having to go search for people, interview people, hire people, go through that whole process.”

Constant fundraising was also part of the job, he said. With KMP ramping down things might get easier, but if LNG goes ahead work will go up again.

Town budget nearly completeAhead of municipalities

May 15 deadline to submit their budgets to the provincial gov-ernment, Kitimat has approved its 2015 budget in principle, and established their flat tax rate.

Adopting the budget comes with approving the tax policy which sets how much each tax class pays to the total town rev-enue.

Mario Feldhoff stepped

out on that one, given that the town’s only major industry at the moment, Rio Tinto Alcan, is his employer.

Residential taxes in 2015 will apply to 16.48 per cent of the total tax revenue in Kitimat.

Major industry continues to take the highest burden at 63.69 per cent — which amounts to $13,673,255.

Light industry pays 10.59

per cent, and business and com-mercial taxes are 8.84 per cent.

The flat tax portion of resi-dential taxes is a policy dating back to 1990 which is based on the theory that all households in Kitimat use a base amount of services.

The flat tax can also go to-wards protecting against poten-tially wild fluctuations in the yearly tax rates of homes.

Big BG buy by ShellShaun Thomas

The BG Group, proponents of an LNG export facility on Rid-ley Island near Prince Rupert, has been sold to Royal Dutch Shell.

The two compa-nies announced a deal on April 8 that will see Shell, which is spear-heading the LNG Can-ada project in Kitimat, pay approximately $70 billion to purchase the BG Group.

“BG’s deep water positions and strengths in exploration, lique-faction and LNG ship-ping and marketing will combine well with Shell’s scale, develop-ment expertise and fi-nancial strength.

“The consolidated business will be placed to develop the growth projects in BG’s port-folio. The transaction will take time to com-plete, during which my team and I will remain committed to BG and our shareholders, and to safely delivering our 2015 business plan,” said BG CEO Helge Lund in a statement.

“This is an im-portant transaction for Shell, accelerating the delivery of our strategy for shareholders. The result will be a more competitive, stronger company for both sets of shareholders in to-day’s volatile oil price world...we believe that

the combination is in the interests of both our companies and their shareholders,” said Shell chair Jorma Ol-lila in a statement fol-lowing the announce-ment, with Shell CEO Ben van Beurden not-ing “LNG is a very important component of this”.

When asked by the Sentinel, Shell didn’t make any comments as far as how this deal plays with the ongoing proposal of the LNG Canada project.

However a Globe and Mail Report on Business article says this move will “bol-ster” the LNG Canada project here while it

hampers the BG Group project, given the com-parisons of the regula-tory distance the Kiti-mat project has over Ridley Island.

The more things change the more the stay the same.

An old saying, yes, but still true on so many levels. This morning I was scanning through my e-mail when I came across a new device for a smart phone. It was a “retro” old-style hold-in-the hand wired earpiece and mouth-piece telephone unit that plugs into the earphone of a smart phone and easily converts your media device into, yes, an old school wired telephone. Adjust the volume or answer a call with the push of a button.

Why? Who knows but I was not tempted to spend $10.49-to-$15 on it, pink coloured or not.

It’s just another gimmick and the world is becoming more and more gimmicky.

I opened another e-mail from Huff-ington Post, which featured a noti� ca-tion that HP had scanned my computer and observed I did not have the iTunes app downloaded.

What? HP says it can can scan my computer with an e-mail?

The fact is I have no need for

iTunes, don’t want iTunes and can’t even stand the thought of iTunes. I un-subscribed to HuffPost. That kind of gimmick, I just don’t want, not that I think HP can scan my computer, but just the thought is enough. Worse, it came in my primary mail, not in spam.

Passing through a major airport is a hassle. I think we’re all agreed on that. It’s a hassle where you have to keep your wits about you, be patient and above all keep your comments to yourself.

Still, I was surprised to read this week that one of the little “hassles”, putting your car keys, spare change and other metallic objects in the bin to by-pass the scanner, results in a loss of a lot of money. I guess people in a hurry

leave a lot of spare change in the bins. The Americans keep a trace of that

spare change left behind by frazzled passengers.

Last week, the Transportation Security Administration released its annual report, which disclosed the government agency collected almost $675,000 in loose change left behind by travellers in 2014 and it gets to keep every penny.

The TSA claims to make every ef-fort to reunite passengers with items left at checkpoints, however there are instances where loose change or other items are left behind and unclaimed.

Unclaimed money, typically con-sisting of loose coins passengers remove from their pockets, is docu-mented and turned into the TSA � nan-cial of� ce, only the latest in a steady increase in yearly collections and amounted to $674,841.06 compared with 2008, when the TSA collected a “mere” $383,413.79.

I wonder if they check down inside the cushions in the waiting rooms?

The strange ways money travels

The shadow over the town

Each year Punxsutawney Phil gets pulled out from his cage and the mayor of the small Pennsyl-vania town listens closely to hear from the ground-hog whether it saw its shadow, which as we all know means six more weeks of winter.

Kitimat does not have a groundhog named Phil but we do have a mayor named such, and after hear-ing his response to the union at last week’s council meeting I feel like we’re in for another ‘six weeks of winter’. (That’s my metaphor for the strike, if it wasn’t clear.)

Now, it’s not to say a terse response wasn’t in some way coaxed. There was shouting and hollering, eventually leading to calls to resign or to bring back past mayor Joanne Monaghan.

Union members were also demanding a response from councillors, asking for feedback from the union’s formal presentation to councillors that night.

As far as any out-of-control back and forth it was smartly blocked. I understand many people would have wanted an open and public dialogue between the council and the union but as was pointed out, presentations to council have never been the place for that.

Back a few years when open arguments would erupt during the public presentation portions of meetings — this is going back a couple of councils — the town at the time had a reputation for dysfunc-tion going well beyond our municipal boundaries.

So as much as people would want answers that night, opening up a conversation on the � oor would lead the town back down a path we don’t want.

So all that being said, Phil, you need to be care-ful how you talk to people. It’s not about who’s right and who’s wrong, I’m talking about not poking at people already frustrated.

In terms of tone, the District communications so far have been fairly measured and balanced — again, talking tone and not content at the moment — but the mayor showed some cracks in that through some of his choice of words or answers.

Basically, questioning how much the union has done for its workers or ‘take it or leave it’ attitude by saying they should apply at RTA, or even just point-ing � ngers at who really started the strike, all doesn’t lead anywhere productive at this time.

Comedians are told to read their audience. This union strike is not funny but a similar rule applies here. Sticking to the script of “it’s a fair offer, etc.,” would have suf� ced without the shots over the bow.

Council as a whole just have to continue to tem-per their feelings as best as they can, because after the April 7 meeting, we all saw the shadow, and it got awfully cold afterwards.

Northwest Community College is on the verge of cutting the number of university credit classes it offers at its main campus locations of Terrace, Prince Rupert and Smithers.

And, in Smithers, it could mean the end of face-to-face classroom instruction.

The result will also mean fewer university credit instructors being employed at the college.

College communications director Sarah Zim-merman said no decisions have been made but that the college needs to respond to budget pres-sures and lower enrolments specifically in its aca-demic programs.

“What we're trying to do is minimize the impact,” she said of everything from offering early retirement incentives and voluntary sever-ance packages to instructors to combining classes where it makes sense to do so.

A number of instructors have already been given notices of at least partial layoffs in accor-dance with union contracts, said Zimmerman.

Zimmerman was responding to an April 2 release by the Northwest Community College Students' Union which indicated college officials

were about to cut up to 40 university courses – 15 in Prince Rupert, 6 in Terrace, and 14 in Smith-ers.

Since there are only 14 courses being offered in Smithers, it would mean the end of classroom instruction there, said the union.

“The one place locals can start a post-second-ary education in our region is Northwest Com-munity College,” said students' union chair Steve Verblac in criticizing the college's plan.

Trades and other programs, so far, have not been affected.

Zimmerman did not confirm nor deny the numbers released by the students’ union but said in places such as Smithers, alternatives to direct classroom instruction are possible.

“To say that we won’t be offering instruction in Smithers isn’t true. We’re going to ensure there are options for our students,” she said.

The college already offers classes through closed-circuit viewing in which students in one community are taught by an instructor in another community.

College to cut back on budgetBravo to the pianistDear Sir,

I don’t know who the fellow was, all I know is that on the af-ternoon of Thursday, April 2, there were staff members, the public and patients with faces aglow while this gen-tleman so effortlessly and lovingly played the

piano in the main lobby of the Kitimat General Hospital.

Not only did this bring me a great de-light and peace in lis-tening to your redition of Que Cera, Cera, and other melodies, to sim-ply see the positive ef-fect on so many others

is simply priceless.I would personally

like to thank you for donating your time and gift to where it was so appreciated. You de-serve a standing ova-tion, and yes, we would like an encore!

Sincerely,Cindy Harmel

People make the changeless God all about change1 Corinthians 1:

22ff, “For Jews de-mand signs and Greeks seek wisdom but we preach Christ cruci-fied, a stumbling block to Jews and a folly to Gentiles.”

It is said that the only thing constant in this world is change.

We have seen many changes in our society for both good and bad. Even here in Kitimat, it was only a couple of years ago that the economy was in the tank and now look at what is happening.

It is true that things change, but what about God? The Bible clearly tells us that God is the same yesterday, today and forever, yet people always seem to want to put their own spin on Him. Jesus in particu-lar. In the first centuries Jesus was considered friend of the lowly and downtrodden.

By the year 500 He

was had been adopted as the great supporter of the establishment and Roman Empire. By the first millennium He was portrayed as the mighty warrior in whose name the cru-sades were launched; By 1500 he had been altered into a Lord so angry with humanity’s sin that priests doled out all sorts of punish-ments in order to ap-pease Him; and now, well, Jesus is many things; from a genie in a bottle who will give you your heart’s desire, to your homeboy, to a good teacher and phi-losopher.

So, has Jesus changed or have we perhaps just tried to make Him into our im-age?

In the verse above Paul; tells us that Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom. It seems like people want Jesus to be anything

other than Christ cru-cified for our sins and raised for our eternal salvation; a stumbling block to our pride and folly to the hardened, sceptical heart.

The truth is, we cannot change God, but He can change us.

Peter writes in 1 Peter 1:3, “Blessed be the God and Father or our Lord Jesus Christ. According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”

In Christ we are changed from being children of wrath into

children of God; we are changed from being spiritually blind to hav-ing our eyes opened to God’s grace and mercy.

We are changed from people who are

travelling on the wide road to eternal destruc-tion, to people follow-ing Jesus on the narrow path to Heaven.

When it comes to us, our changeless God is all about change.

You may be some-one who has tried to reinvent Jesus or ig-nore Him, but let me ask you, do you have peace?

You likely have more stuff than your parents, but has that given you any peace?

Do the things that you have done in the past follow you around like a black cloud, nagging at your heart and mak-ing each day dark and dreary?

Do you feel angry, hurt, neglected and sad? Are you at peace?’

And if the answer is “no,” then I have some good news for you.

There is no one who is too terrible to be forgiven by our cruci-fied Christ, and there is

no one who will not re-ceive the peace and as-surance in eternity that Jesus so freely gives through faith in Him.

Jesus lived, died and rose again, so that through the power of the Holy Spirit, we might repent, believe and be saved.

That is the great change that the Lord wishes to give every soul upon this earth. That is the change He wants to work in you.

Amen.

Scenes from the dress rehearsal of the play ‘Kitimat’, which opened in California last week. Carrie Rosema for Pomona College

Kitimat, the pipeline stage show

Sales down in the first Q

Cameron OrrA stage play inspired by Kitimat’s experience

with a pipeline plebiscite has opened at Pomona College in California.

The play was written by Elaine Avila who spent time in Kitimat to research the script, which is a drama that focuses on two sisters who are on opposite ends of a pipeline debate.

“I tried to show both sides and how the re-lationship between the two sisters shifts. I also wanted to consider all of the story more deeply,” said Avila in a Pomona College article on the play from their website written by Mary Marvin. “Be-cause of my experiences in Kitimat, I’ve become very interested in our connections to land and story and ancestors and what it means to become part of a community as an immigrant.”

Cameron OrrThe BC Northern Real Estate Board has re-

leased their first quarter results for 2015.In Kitimat, 20 properties worth $5.7 million

were sold, down from 36 properties sold in 2014 worth $10.4 million.

Of those 20 in Kitimat, 14 were single fam-ily homes, five were half duplexes and one was a home on an acreage.

There were 93 properties of all types for sale through MLS at the end of March, up from 47 the same time last year.

Terrace’s sales were slowing too. Fifty-two sold versus 101 for the same period

last year, and the value dipped to $12 million from $23 million in 2014.

In Prince Rupert, 37 properties sold in this first quarter worth $8.1 million.

In 2014 it was 83 properties worth $14.7 mil-lion.

“Although the volume of sales was down slightly across BCNREB area, in the first quarter of 2015, the regionsmore closely associated with the oil and gas indus-try, the Northeast and North Coast experienced a more significant drop, year over year.

This can be attributed to the uncertainty withthe long term effects of lower oil prices,” said BC-NREB President David Black, in a media release.

Kitimat-raised poet is up for an awardCameron Orr

A Kitimat-raised author is up for a prestigious award for her new, and first, book of poetry.

Kayla Czaga is up for the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize for her poetry collection, For Your Safety Please Hold On.

She came to Kitimat Monday for a reading as part of the BC Book Prize tour at the library.

She arrived with author Gabrielle Prendergast for her book Capricious, which is shortlisted for the Sheial A. Egoff Children’s Literature Prize.

For Czaga, her collection covers a number of differ-ent themes, about family and childhood, and about travel, she said.

“The title itself is taken from the stickers you see on buses in Vancouver that say ‘for your safety please hold on.’”

Czaga lived in Kitimat from 1996 until 2007 when she embarked on travels of her own. From Kitimat (and being born in Lethbridge) she travelled to Victoria to do her Bachelors of English, and did spend a little time in high school in Europe and has trav-

elled around Canada.This book is the result of

her work to get her Masters, which required her to work on a book, whether it was poems or short stories or other.

She began with a series of poems about her dad.

“I don’t know why I started writing about him one day,” she said, but noted that he has lived an interest-ing life and is himself aninteresting person.

Halfway through writing the book she was connected with a publisher.

And now here she is shortlisted for an award.

“It was really weird find-ing it out, I guess because it’s my first book. I think I’m the only one on the list that’s been nominated with a first book.”

One of the other short-listed authors for her category is a long-time writer who she has admired so the signifi-cance of sharing a nomination with him is not lost on her.

She said the book does have a couple of poems set in Kitimat, and thinks the north is a good place to be raised for a writer if just for the natural beauty of the area.

“And I had great teachers in high school,” she adds.

A Global Calgary film crew record students at Kildala Elementary during one of their energy challenges, this time as a stuff swap to determine how much material things people really need in their lives.

A special classroom dietCameron Orr

It’s a unique chance for elementary school students to take a closer look at the impacts their make on their environ-ment.

A project, called the Classroom En-ergy Diet which is jointly provided by Shell Canada, Canadian Geographic Ed-ucation, and is being featured by Global TV as their film crew tracks two classes in Canada, one in Halifax and the other here.

The Kildala teacher running the pro-gram here is Allison Whicher who said getting involved came from an e-mail invite.

She teaches a grade 4/5/6 French Im-mersion class.

After getting set up, classes had to conduct three environmentally conscious challenges, which would be filmed by the Global film crew.

“The first challenge that we did was a recycling challenge where we went through three days of garbage within the school...and we sorted it in to stuff that should have been recycled, stuff that was actual garbage, and then wasted food,” said Whicher. “That was a huge eye opener.”

The second challenge covered water use, and had students monitoring their own consumption of H

2O.

“They took notes on their water us-age for a week and then charted that,” she said.

After monitoring it a second week to see how much got cut down she said the class saved about 1,000 litres.

To really emphasize the point, and to make good film footage, the class was shown how much water that approxi-mately was by filling a ‘pool’ — made with their desks laid on their side — with shredded paper.

“The last challenge...that was a ‘do you really need it’. Discussing needed items versus wanted items,” said Which-er. “We had a toy swap, so kids in this class brought in toys, then we had it set up in the lunch room and other kids in the school brought in their own toys and they would swap for what they have.”

There is a bank of potential projects the class could choose from and with the help of the project organizers help nar-row it down to things that would be most appropriate locally, leaving Whicher to pick the final three.

The project has been great for the

kids, she says.“It’s a term we use in school, secret

teaching, which is they don’t know that they’re learning anything but they actu-ally are,” she said. “They were very ex-cited to be on TV, which is no suprise...but they took the challenges to heart.”

She said the students really put in the effort to not just look like they knew what they were doing, but to actually know what they were doing.

“They are generally, with everything we do now, very much aware of their sur-roundings. If they see someone throwing something in the garbage that should have been recycled...then they’re ‘hey you, we just did this challenge, you need be recycling this stuff,’” she said.

They’ll also keep an eye out on how to repurpose food that looks like it’s heading to a garbage bin.

To participate the class been given $500 for a charity (which has not yet been announced to which one) and an-other $500 for the class to spend on how they see fit.

To note, a class in Thornhill also has a grade four class putting in extra time on energy diet lessons. Their teacher Karen Ting is leading those exercises.

TO CRASH IF THEY ARE TEXTING

Distracted Driving Awareness

Distracted driving is any task that takes the driver away from the primary task of driving, such as texting, talking on a cell phone, eating, tuning the radio, putting on makeup or shaving. The three main types of distraction while driving are visual, taking your eyes off the road, manual, which is taking your hands off the wheel and cognitive, taking your mind off driving. Distracted driving is a dangerous epidemic on Canada's roadways. The best way to end distracted driving is to educate the public about the danger it poses. With the rise of cellphone use around the world, the number of motor vehicle collisions caused by distracted driving has also increased. Texting something as simple as “LOL!” can result in the loss of life.

Consider this scenario: you’re driving down the highway when your phone buzzes. You’re cruising at 80 km/h. You take � ve seconds on a straight stretch to look at the message. It’s your friend wondering if you want to go out for dinner.

After � ve seconds at that speed you’ve already traveled the distance of a football � eld, without the

bene� t of looking up. That’s essentially being blindfolded.

It’s something to think about though. In 2010, the RCMP say distracted driving contributed to 104 collision fatalities in British Columbia alone.

It’s a common enough problem. Statistics show that 80 per cent all collisions and 65 per cent of close calls can be traced to some kind of driver inattention.

It’s not just phones that keep people out of focus while driving. Looking up directions can be a source of distraction too. It’s suggested that drivers already plan where they’re going with maps or written directions before they start driving.

In fact leave plenty of time to get to your destination too. Being rushed can lead to poor decision making. You can make that yellow light, right? Well, one misjudgment can make a huge difference to how the rest of your life plays out. Loose items can also distract. Things that aren’t secured makes noise and can take your attention away from the road.

And speaking of noise, use caution when traveling with your pets. Especially smaller animals that can get in to places in your vehicle creatures have no business being, like by your feet.

Even larger animals wanting to share your space in the vehicle can be a possible hazard. A cat or dog pushing their way to the front seat can easily knock your car in to another gear, not to mention possibly block your vision by climbing into your lap or licking your face.

For you parents out there, prepare whatever your kids

might need for the drive ahead of time so you’re not needing to reach to the back seat or issue some ‘car justice’ for misbehaving siblings.

Avoiding distractions really isn’t that hard. If you’re getting a call on your phone, just let it go to voicemail. Whatever the message is it likely isn’t so important that you can’t wait from your drive from Margetts to City Centre Mall.Just avoid any time wasters entirely. Sur� ng the web isn’t usually that healthy at home but can cause major consequences on the road. No e-mails, texts or Internet for the commute. And for those who generally groom themselves on the road — yes we know you’re out there — just stop it.

Pull over if it’s important or there’s a call you just have to make.

FOOD AND DRINK ARE DISTRACTING TOOWith the number of fast food drive-thru’s on seemingly every corner in the most dangerous driving areas, the task of eating while driving has been normalized by our society. Nobody thinks it’s a big deal and in fact, our vehicles and fast food companies have made it as easy as possible for you. Just because a certain form of distracted driving is overlooked, that doesn’t mean you should take part. Eating while driving is just as dangerous, if not more dangerous, than texting while driving.

The majority of food related accidents occur in the morning hours. Eating while driving also occurs more frequently when people are running late.

Manual transmission vehicles double the chances of distracted driving crashes caused by food consumption.

The top ten worst foods to consume while driving are:

10) Chocolate9) Soft Drinks8) Jelly/cream � lled or

powdered donuts7) Fried chicken6) Anything barbecued5) Burgers4) Chili3) Tacos2) Hot Soup,

and the number one most distracting food is...

COFFEE Coffee is responsible for more distracted driving accidents than any other food item. If you spill coffee on yourself while driving, it will likely burn you and you will no longer be focused on the road, but the burning skin on your hands or legs or possibly even your face. The main reason the majority of these foods are on this list is because they are messy and the messes they make can be very distracting.

DID YOU KNOW?

• Of the 269 people killed on the roads in the last year in B.C., distracted driving led to 77 deaths. That was second only to

speed, which was a factor in 78 deaths. Alcohol and drugs were blamed for 63 deaths.

In North America, driver distraction is a factor in about FOUR MILLION

motor vehicle collisionseach year.

Distracted Driving Drivers engaged in the following distractions

are more likely to be ina crash or near crashevent compared with

non-distracted drivers.

Texting on a cellphone23 times more likely Talking on a cell phone4 to 5 times more likely Reading3 times more likelyApplying makeup3 times more likelyReaching for a moving object (child/pet)9 times more likelyDialing on a hand-held device3 times more likely

• The World Health Organization (WHO) states that by using a cellphone while driving, drivers are about four times more likely to be involved in a car crash than a driver who is not using a phone, and this appears to be the same for hands-free devices because it’s the cognitive distraction as opposed to the physical one of holding the phone.

• Passengers can be distractions as well. According to CAA, children are four times more distracting than adults as passengers and infants are eight times more distracting than adults as passengers.

• In Nova Scotia, the RCMP reported that in the summer of 2013, distracted driving surpassed impaired driving as the number one cause of deaths. Saskatchewan’s public insurance bureau noted the same.

• ICBC suggests if you’re sharing a car with a friend, make the passenger a designated texter or caller.

• I CBC also reminds motorists who may have an L or N licence, they are not allowed to use any electronic devices behind the wheel, and that includes hands-free headsets and speakerphones. As for the people who can use such things, remember those wireless headsets can only go over one of your ears, not both.

Trades course sets groundwork for more projectsCameron Orr

A training program that’s been running at Kitimat Val-ley Institute will go a long way in providing trained workers for a potential LNG construction boom in Kitimat.

The Construction Craft Worker (CCW) is B.C.’s new-est Red Seal trade although it’s existed for years in other parts of Canada.

A CCW can install utility piping, place concrete, con-struct roads, perform selective demolition, and other tasks.

The program is a col-laborate effort, and is funded by the Industry Training Au-thority (ITA), and contracted out to Northwest Community College.

The college partnered with KVI to deliver the pro-gram through the KVI cam-pus on Alexander Street.

Right now students are completing the level 1 CCW program, but there’s plans to deliver level 2 in the near fu-ture as well.

This program is a result of industry demands.

“It was a demand from industry. We don’t just do this stuff because we want to,” said ITA apprenticeship advi-sor Crystal Bouchard.

Roger Bennet, the service representative organizer for the Laborers’ International Union of North America Construction and Specialized Workers Union (LiUNA), the

union which has supplied all of the students for this first round of training, said from an employers’ perspective he said he’d be fearful not to have a foundation of workers with this certification.

Bouchard agrees.“The more that we can of-

fer those training opportuni-ties...the better qualified and more successful these proj-ects will be locally,” she said.

She said with the RTA project transitioning to an op-erations stage, right now was good timing to do this train-ing as people are coming off the project but still living in the community.

Bennet said from be-ing on worksites in Kitimat

many fresh workers have seen what is required to be in work which translates to value for the CCW. More than 50 per cent of people in this first class had never been on a work site before KMP, he said.

This course is funded through ITA, and was sup-ported through the STEP program, the skilled trades employment program, which identified several candidates for the program.

The program’s need arose from the B.C. Skills for Jobs Blueprint and ITA’s own LNG Action Plan.

“This is the tip of the ice-berg for this,” said Bennet on training programs. “And it’s great.”

Reflecting on Haiti journeyTwo nurses in Kiti-

mat are reflecting on several weeks in Haiti, a trip which they say was made possible through community donations.

Amanda Slanina and Hope Bechard spent several weeks in Haiti in late fall last year, with Bechard even returning to the country again in a week’s time, on an-other mission to deliver health care to Haitians, this time with a group of 16 nurses.

In October the pair went under the umbrel-la of Hands Up for Hai-ti, and the two adapted to a major change in daily quality of life as they held clinics and workshops which they say proved very suc-cessful, even as they worked their way through an obstacle

course of broken down vehicles and flooding.

But such things were just facts of living in a different country, and both have no plans to give up on support-ing the country through their trips, having sup-ported providing medi-cal care to hundreds of Haitians.

“I hope to go back in the fall,” said Slani-na. “The hardest thing is to leave, actually, because it’s a different world there. You see the change you make.”

Thanks to com-munity donations they raised $7,000 which essentially paid for the trip — which included funds to help provide the services in Haiti — and people also sent with them other care packages of donations for clinics there.

The pair travelled

around the region to deliver clinics and pro-vided other services for the organization, although they’ll admit the biggest highlight for them was a wom-en’s group they estab-lished for women in the city they stayed in.

Several dozen women would come out to learn about vio-lence issues and health education, they say.

“Whereas in Can-ada we have free edu-cation and you have to beg people to come. There they take on ev-ery opportunity,” said Slanina.

Bechard’s now supporting a nurse pro-gram for Haiti, through partnerships of various organizations.

“Now, from our work, we’ve started a new program called Sponsor a Nurse,” said

Bechard, which al-lows people to directly sponsor nurses through Hands Up for Haiti. “We saw there how much a nurse can make a difference in a com-munity.”

Her trip back to Haiti in a week will see 16 nurses join her as

part of a pilot project which would see the nurses earn academic credits for their time out of country.

Despite leaving behind the comforts of home, both definitely show a strong attach-ment to the country and the people.

KCH welcomes return of a school yearbook

No shortage of effort from Eagles in Langley championships

Julia Gerard-GrayKitimat City High is excitedly welcoming

the return of a school staple; the yearbook.Since the 2010/2011 school year,

KCH has not had a yearbook, but that’s changed this year, as the school anticipates the largest graduation class it’s ever seen.

Kathleen Cherry is the organizer for this new year book.

She is helped out by Denise Pedro, who is the designer and illustrator for the book.

Denise will also be in charge of yearbook layout.

KCH is looking towards a possible gradu-ation class of 27 students if everyone stays on track. That’s over half the school.

Several students are involved in making the yearbook happen this year. Dee Galaske

and Jayme Clifton are taking photos around the school and on school trips, while Chelsey Wright is gathering the graduates’ baby photos. Britta-ny Hall is in charge of the grad write-ups. Julia Gerard-Gray is taking pictures of everyone’s art-work and ceramics work.

The students, especially the grads, are very pleased to be getting a book full of great memo-ries to our wonderful school.

MESS Eagles from Mount Elizabeth Mid-dle Secondary School departed out to Lang-ley on March 10 with Coach Dan Striker and Assistant Coach Norm Fossl to com-pete at the BC Boys High School Basket-ball Provincial Cham-pionships.

It’s an unforget-table experience for every young man. The team hasn’t had a his-tory of success in the sport for many years and it wasn’t looking entirely hopeful for this year’s team but that was not going to stop them from trying.

Game 1 was set against Victoria’s St. Michaels University School, the first seed in B.C.’s AA league. The Eagle’s defensive play was powerful and the game stayed even during the first few minutes. Beyond the start it was a one sided game and SMU defeated the Eagles however it was not a bitter loss. Being 16th seed and play-ing against the tourna-ment favourite, it was more of a learning ex-perience.

The feeling of playing against a team that you can readily tell is levels beyond you can only be de-

scribed as an amazing experience. SMU later continued on to win the championship, seemingly with ease.

Game 2 was against Richmond’s Cambie Crusaders, the 8th seed in the tournament, another very tough opponent. Cambie took an early lead but the Eagles fought back and even took a small lead for a short time. Eventual-ly the Crusaders took

the game away and se-cured a solid lead.

Game 3 was against Vancouver’s Britannia Bruins. The game tied four times and the lead switched three. It was an especially good performance from the team’s two start-ing guards Kaennon Alcoseba and Dylan Fossl. They combined for 44 points out of the teams total of 62, Kaennon with 23 and

Dylan with 21. Britan-nia scored 77 points, winning by only 15.

This time around the taste of a bitter de-feat was very vivid.

The final game was against Vander-hoof’s Nechako Val-ley Vikings.

This game would be another close one with a switching edge in scoring. Kiti-mat never trailed be-hind exceedingly far but victory left their

clutches towards the end of the game. This would also be the fi-nal game for seven seniors, Jas Dhillon, Dylan Fossl, Lucas Fontes, Jake Minaker, Kody Welsh, Ray-mond Grant and Eu-gene Chang, which made it all the more of a devastating defeat having lost by only nine points, 55 to 46.

The entire season up to and including the provincial cham-

pionships will forever be an irreplaceable ex-perience for every one of the 14 who went including Kaennon Alcoseba, Marc Brais, Eugene Chang, Jas Dhillon, Lucas Fon-tes, Dylan Fossl, Ray-mond Grant, Elmer Grant, Matthew Ham-merstrom, Jake Samu-el-Minaker and Kody Welsh along with 3 latecomers, Kameron Smith, Nolan Striker and JJ Ymasa.

Anger awareness class brings out positivesAmy Kuppers

As a student of Kitimat City high, I enjoy participating in some of the school’s programs and ac-tivities. I joined a class known as “Anger Awareness” and have been pleasantly surprised at how much I’ve learned.

When most people think of an “anger class” they think anger management or perhaps some-thing out of an episode of Frasi-er, but I think I speak for all the students attending the class when I say it has been so much more. During this time, Bruce Robinson and Sabrina McDowell explain to the students where anger comes from and shows them a step-by-step guide to recognizing and dealing with negative emotions

(called “The Eight Tools of An-ger”).

I talked to Bruce to hear his thoughts on the program.

“Basically what we do is in-corporate strategies to be aware of anger. I call this class Anger Awareness because once we’re angry, we can’t control it. But if we’re aware of our anger, there are strategies we can use to mini-mize the impact.”

The class also teaches teens how to react with the anger of those around them. When asked about the effects of the group on students, Bruce said, “I think it’s had a major impact as they are willing to try new experiences and new tactics and be more willing to express themselves and engage in

conversation. They learn positive ways to show their feelings and differentiate between what is pos-itive and negative.”

Sabrina, who runs the group with Bruce, also gave her thoughts on the matter.

“I’m essentially mentoring under Bruce, being his second when it comes to the anger aware-ness class. It’s been incredible to see how he runs his group and the dynamic he has with the youth. Seeing the progression from the start of the class to the end and seeing how the individuals be-come more comfortable with sharing and making the connec-tions to implement strategies in their lives. Not only does he teach his youth, he also helps mentor

other people in his field of work.”Being a participant in the

group, I have seen changes in both myself and my peers.

I found the group to be con-fidential, positive, and non-judge-mental and I’ve seen others open up more and more as the weeks progress. We share our stories and opinions and talk about the nega-tive situations that have gone on in our lives and how to better cope with them. Bruce makes the expe-rience not only educational but enjoyable.

I also spoke with Em-ily George, a part-time teacher at KCH regarding her opinion on the program and its effects on the students. “I would say the top benefits to the students are that it

gives them tools for coping and understanding their own anger triggers while in addition giving them strategies for how to navi-gate the anger of important people in their lives. We are very lucky to have Bruce Robinson running the program as he is a skilled, knowl-edgeable facilitator with many years of experience working with the youth in the northwest region. He brings a unique perspective due in part to his First Nations background and his ability in re-lating to students and their needs.”

Anger Awareness is coming to a close for the year at Kitimat City High, but we thank Bruce and Sabrina for their dedication to the program and to the teens that take part in it.

The Overwaitea Food Group says they have no plans to offer sale of B.C. wine in their Kitimat grocery store.

The question was posed to them after a Surrey Save-On-Foods began offering wine sales earlier this month.

The Surrey store was the first to take advantage of new regu-lations allowing sale of B.C. wines directly from grocery shelves. Supermarkets now have the option of in-cluding a liquor store with separate checkout for alcohol purchases.

Meanwhile pro-ducers are raising pric-es slightly and others are offering short-term discounts as B.C.'s new liquor price wholesale model took effect re-cently.

Pre-tax retail price changes at B.C. gov-ernment stores show

little change for the most popular brands of beer, hard liquor and other alcoholic bever-ages. Government store shoppers will see lower prices on the shelves, because as of April 1, government stores add provincial and federal sales tax at the

cash register.Of the top 10

brands of spirits, a 750 ml bottle of Crown Royal whiskey retails for $23.49, a two-cent increase, plus taxes. For the larger bottle of Crown Royal, govern-ment stores are reduc-ing the price by $1.98

for the month of April.The government

store retail price used to be the benchmark for B.C. sales, with discounts off that price to private liquor stores, agency and B.C. wine stores. Now all re-tailers pay the same wholesale price to the Liquor Distribution Branch, which retains its wholesale monop-oly.

The LDB whole-sale markup is now

124 per cent of the supplier price for hard liquor, 73 per cent for coolers, 89 per cent and ciders and a per-litre tax with ascending rates for small, medium and large breweries.

Justice Minister Suzanne Anton says the system is designed to create a level playing field for retailers, while maintaining the gov-ernment's revenue of $1 billion a year from the wholesale markup.

SubmittedThe Kitimat General Hospital Foun-

dation (KGHF) was the recipient of a $2,000 donation presented by members of the Masonic Kitimat Lodge #169, at the Mason’s Dinner at the Royal Cana-dian Legion on March 27, 2015.

Ron Burnett with the Masons, said “the success of the Friday night steak dinners at the Royal Canadian Legion is in large part due to the assistance and cooperation of the Kitselas Lodge #123 and the Kitimat Dynamics Gymnastic Club. It is the collaboration between or-

ganizations that benefits the entire com-munity.”

Corinne Scott, Chairperson of the KGHF, stated “the funds received from the Mason’s will be put towards provid-ing ten...IV Infusion pumps for Kitimat General Hospital.

More home care, fewer drugs

Toast of the townAn area speech and evaluation contest held in Terrace resulted in top wins for Kiti-

mat’s Nechako Toastmasters Club.M.K. Anand, second from left, for the Kitimat club placed first in the speech contest.

Kitimat’s President Reg Barnes, far right, followed behind with a second place finish. Terrace’s Daniel Glass placed third. For the evaluation contest Barnes placed first for his constructive critiques. Anand took the second place in that competition, and Glass again placed third.

As many as 15 per cent of B.C. seniors in residential care could have more independence with assisted living or community care support, B.C.'s Seniors Advocate says.

Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie also compared statistics for B.C. seniors in home and residential care with those in Alberta and Ontario, find-ing B.C. patients are prescribed more anti-psychotic drugs and receive less physiotherapy and recreation therapy than other provinces.

Mackenzie said the potential overuse of residential care is "troubling on a couple of fronts" with the shortage of residential care beds for high-needs seniors.

"Most seniors would prefer to live independently than in residential care and so we want to ensure all supports and alternative living arrangements are exhausted before we move someone to residential care," Mackenzie said. "If we are filling even five per cent of these scarce beds with folks who could live independently, that is 1,500 beds that could open up province-wide."

Health Minister Terry Lake said the ministry is aware of the problems highlighted by the report, and is putting more resources toward home care and community health services, with spending up $1.2 billion to $2.8 billion since 2001.

Cameron Orr, files from Tom FletcherA sudden cancellation of George Abbott’s appoint-

ment to lead the B.C. Treaty Commission (BCTC) has thrown the whole future of the commission in to question.

Yet Chief Councillor for the Haisla Nation Council El-lis Ross says many people seem to have a misinterpretation of the organization and a cloudy future for it doesn’t spell trouble.

Recently Premier Christy Clark said in its current form, the B.C. Treaty Commission would need a century to settle all the aboriginal land claims that are before it.

She was taking questions for the first time about the sudden cancellation of former cabinet minister George Abbott's appointment to lead the commission, Clark said she doesn't know yet if the organization will continue. She emphasized that having only 50 out of 200 B.C. First Na-tions involved, and painfully slow progress with those, is not enough.

"There have been some results, but four treaties in 22 years for $600 million is not enough result," Clark said. "We have to be able to move faster, and we have to find a way to include more First Nations in the process."

The Haisla have not been at the treaty table since about 2010, said Ross, but added the commission is essentially a flow-through for money and that they don’t have real power to implement any treaties.

“I am surprised at the amount of importance that is be-ing put on this,” said Ross. “Everybody seems to be up in arms about it and I don’t see why.”

He said the BCTC is “mainly a flow-through for mon-ey that comes from the feds and the province. That’s all they are.”

As for the future of the commission in general, Ross is sure it will continue, and they do have a role in essentially chairing treaty negotiations, but the real work happens with the other parties.

“It’s [Treaties] one of the most complicated documents ever put together,” he said. “A treaty, in today’s context, is actually a document that describes how a First Nation is going to exist within the borders of B.C. and Canada.”

He said the only way for the treaty process to change, with or without BCTC, is for Canada, the province and First Nations to “take a good, hard look at mandates and make efforts to change the mandates.”

The Haisla, for instance, had a mandate just for lands, but treaties are more than just that issue, he said.

“Haisla, for instance, we knew what we didn’t want, but at the same time we never had a hard mandate like what B.C. and Canada had.”

As it is, he said the only way he could envision the treaty process proceeding under his watch is with an in-teractive community meeting with his membership to talk about what treaty is.

To lose treaty commission no big deal: Ross


Continued from page 1Further the union

pressed for clarification on why there was no move-ment on certain key issues, namely language that es-tablishes mutual shared values, and language that cements the number of full-time positions at the District. The union says they’ve figured that the District needs an overall minimum of 90 full-time positions, taking in to account all the work that could be done by union members and an not con-tracted out.

Contracted-out work was a major sticking point for McIlwrath at the council meeting, also proposing that contracts for work must include provisions that the wages paid are equal to the wages accepted by the union for comparable posi-tions.

“We’re sitting, watching the erosion of ser-vices before our eyes and we’re not going to put up with it anymore.”

Germuth did end the back-and-forth with the union with a final statement, saying the District of Kitimat and Unifor had to share responsibility for issues which have existed for the past 30 years.

The District, he said, responded directly to union concerns by increasing the number of full time positions in Leisure Services and addressing safety and training issues by offering to take on the services of an occupational health and safety officer to give recommendations.

A joint union-District committee would also be formed under the new agreement to look at training needs to keep staff at the right skillset for any future potential jobs.

He also said the pay raise keeps the union in the top two in the province with other municipal employees.

“We feel we are taking our share of responsi-

bility for the past, however the union must also accept their share of responsibil-ity in addressing employee discontent. The history of grievance claims against

the District of Kitimat does not support the union’s claims. There are not numerous complaints to the Workers Compensation Board for unsafe practic-es and there have been no complaints to the BC Human Rights Tribunal regarding the exploitation of women,” he said.

Germuth also said that he doesn’t buy the union saying grievances haven’t been filed due to threats of retribution.

“Well, isn’t one of the reasons to belong to a union is to have the union stand up for your rights when you, for whatever reason, aren’t able to do so yourself? What has the union been doing to represent our District workers for the last 30 years?”

He added, “You cannot fix 30 years of prob-lems in two-to-three months.”

As for the demand of wage parity with Rio Tinto Alcan employees, he said that handcuffs future councils and taxpayers to wage increases “out of our control.”

“RTA is RTA, the District of Kitimat is the District of Kitimat. You cannot compare an indus-try to a municipality. If workers want RTA wages, and we would be sorry to see them go, then they would have to apply at RTA.”

Germuth’s statement was not embraced well by union members in attendance.

“The only thing you’ve guaranteed is this strike is not going to end with that statement. You guys should all resign, you’re killing this town, you’ve been killing it for 20 years. You’re in trou-ble,” shouted McIlwrath, who at this point was back in the gallery.

Apache officially lets go of their Kitimat LNG shareApache is out, wel-

come to Woodside Pe-troleum.

Apache announced on April 10 that their anticipated sale of their 50 per cent stake in Kitimat LNG has been completed.

The sale includes Apache’s upstream lands in the Horn River and Liard natural gas basins.

The sale totaled

$854 million in pro-ceeds, including $354 in “adjustments” for reimbursment of ex-penses from July 1 last year to the closing day.

Apache’s intention to sell their stake was announced last July.

“Consistent with the company’s ongoing repositioning for prof-itable and repeatable North American on-shore growth, Apache

intends to completely exit the Wheatstone and Kitimat LNG proj-ects,” said a report at the time.

Wheatstone LNG is an Australian-based liquefied natural gas project. Kitimat LNG has all of its required permits and licences but is still undergoing a lengthy front-end en-gineering and design study which would fi-

nalize a price tag and move the company to-wards making a final investment decision.

Media reports had indicated Apache was under pressure by investors to leave Kitimat LNG, and the company had indicated they were already in-terested in reducing their 50 per cent stake in the Kitimat-based LNG project.

The dock at the Kitimat LNG work site. Kitimat LNG as of now is a Chevron and Woodside Petroleum partnership.

“You guys should all resign, you’re killing this town.”

- Martin McIlwrath

Continued from page 11Such an event is something he said he’s promised to

his membership but hasn’t had enough time to host giv-en the work making agreements with companies and the province on revenues, land issues, and decision making, “to achieve the same things treaty promised, by the way.”

As for treaties’ future, Ross doesn’t see restructur-ing the process as a problem and in fact could be a good thing for everyone. He sees the B.C. government as pos-sibly trying to find ways for people to achieve goals off the treaty table.

“I think it’s being proven, especially in our territory, that it works...I don’t think people realize how hard it is to move back from a mandate that you’ve been living under for 30 years.

“If that’s the reason why BC wants to reconsider BCTC, then it’s actually a good move.”

He said he’ll wait to see if the government takes the successes seen so far and applies those lessons to the trea-ty process, which he said would be significant.

“This could affect so much if B.C.’s looking to change their approach to reconciliation,” he said. “That would probably be the first significant move in treaty negotia-tions in the last 10 years. Without a doubt.”

As for the reaction to the rejection of Abbott, which sparked the province-wide dialogue on treaty, it came with surprise and disappointment from outgoing chief commis-sioner Sophie Pierre and commissioners representing the other two parties it represents, the federal government and B.C.'s First Nations Summit.

NDP leader John Horgan said the B.C. government's sudden decision to leave a key position vacant is a vio-lation of trust with aboriginal communities and Ottawa, which provides the cash for treaty settlements. B.C. pro-

vides Crown land once claimed territories are defined."I don't disagree with those who suggest the treaty

process can be revitalized," Horgan said. "You don't do it by blowing it up without talking to your partners."

Pierre and others have expressed their own frustrations with the slow pace of progress, particularly from Ottawa.

Treaty deals involving a share of salmon runs were put on hold for years while the federal government held an inquiry into the state of Fraser River sockeye runs.

Pierre has also called for forgiveness of the debt piled up by First Nations as negotiations drag on — Ross said the Haisla have an $8 million bill due to the treaty loan funding.

Money to continue talks is borrowed against future cash settlements for resources extracted from aboriginal territories, leaving the parties with little left to invest in communities.

A file photo of a Kitimat Marlins swim meet. A core group of 20 Marlins still practice in Terrace with Kitimat’s pool closed.

Marlins adjust to life without a poolCameron Orr

With the Kitimat swimming pool cur-rently off-limits to the public due to the strike, the Marlins Swim Club has had to make adjust-ments in getting their swimmers to practices.

That means out of the Marlins’ 65 swimmers, 20 are still making the practices, which are being held in the Terrace swimming pool.

It also means the club is scrambling to decide what to do about a regional swim meeting planned for early May.

“It’s frustrating. We’re supposed to host a regional swim meet here in the beginning

of May. We’ve already been told too that if they do settle, it will be at least two weeks before they can get the pool re-opened,” said head coach Jason Cath-ers.

The region in-cludes Smithers, Ter-race and Prince Rupert. He said they’re looking at various options, in-cluding hosting it in a different town.

Even so, the pro-gram as a whole suffers without a pool.

“It’s just sad for our program. The pro-gram we’ve had, we’ve gained membership numbers every year for the past four years. Our performance level has improved over the

last four years. This year we had the most swimmers qualified for Western Nationals out of any team in the region,” he said, listing off the club’s accom-plishments.

“Basically, we are swimming in Terrace but we’re swimming one practice a day, between an hour and an hour and a half. To be at a national level those kids, at a national level...they need to be swimming seven to nine practices a week. They’re not getting what they need.”

He adds, “Most of those swimmers are just doing three days a week as maintenance. This is going to have a long-term affect on our

club, not just this sea-son but beyond.”

He said it could affect future mem-bership because club performance and membership “go hand-in-hand”, and if they aren’t making results because of the pool be-ing closed it can affect future enrolment.

Not to mention the club will be down six to eight swimmers in the near future as well, as those are from families in town for the Kitimat Modernization Project which is in its final stages.

Director of Leisure Services Martin Gould said a pool start up could potentially take as much as 15 days to be ready for the public.

That includes draining and filling the pool, properly treating the water and then fi-nally having the water submitted to the health inspector for review.

Does Kitimat want to host the 2017 National Aboriginal Hockey Championships?

The Aboriginal Sport, Recreation and Physical Activ-ity Partners Council is conducting a province-wide process to identify communities in B.C. who are interested in hosting the 2017 National Aboriginal Hockey Championships.

The group can approve and endorse one community from within B.C. to be put forward in the national bid process where they will compete amongst other communities from across the country. So they’re launching a provincial process to choose a B.C. community.

The selected B.C. community will receive a funding com-mitment of $50,000 to offset the event’s operating costs should they be successfully awarded the rights to host the 2017 NAHC through the national process.

The first deadline is the submission of a letter of intent, which is required by Wednesday, April 29.

For more information visit www.aboriginalsportbc.ca.Held annually each spring, the National Aboriginal Hock-

ey Championships serve as a premier event that showcases elite Bantam/Midget age Aboriginal hockey players from across Canada.

Money diverted to repair sewer damageCameron Orr

A $150,000 pre-budget approval was passed unani-mously by council to fix a sewer line on Mallard Street.

Kitimat’s engineering department says the fibre-glass liner installed in the sewer line, designed to re-habilitate it, detached and is causing a major constriction in the pipe’s capacity.

Using the District’s usual sewer flushing tools has not solved the problem.

The staff’s report to council says that it’s possible that more separation of the lining could result in a total blockage of the pipe, which

services all streets along Nalabila Boulevard, east of Kingfisher.

The Sikh Temple has already experienced sewer back-ups as a result of this issue.

Sewer flows have been diverted so cameras could go in and look at the line.

There were three poten-tial options to fix the prob-lem selected.

The challenges with fix-ing this sewer line is that it runs through a right of way at 99 Mallard Street, and a garage attached to the home has been constructed over the sewer. Replacing the

main would mean removing the garage.

The most expensive po-tential option would have cost $250,000 and would mean re-routing the sewer around 99 Mallard, which would require extensive sew-er installation and removal of sidewalk and road crossings. Such work also likely would not be timely, as well as be-ing the most expensive.

Option two would be boring out the existing lin-er with specialized cutting tools.

The final option would be essentially to replace the sewer pipe but in a way

that doesn’t require remov-ing the garage. Doing that work would require an ac-cess trench at both ends of the line, which would require excavation to some of Mal-lard Street.

Both of those final two options would cost $150,000 each and the town hasn’t yet determined which is the best route to go.

Even so they’re confident in one of the $150,000 op-tions and the pre-budget ap-proval would open up funds for the sanitary sewer trestle joint repairs which would then be diverted towards this sewer main repair.

Park rezoning moves ahead Hearing set for parking spacesCameron Orr

A rezoning appli-cation which would move a proposed park space in the later phas-es of the Forest Hills subdivision has moved forward with a second and third reading.

That just leaves adoption for the rezon-ing that takes a plot of land currently zoned for park and moves it to the north west bor-der of the area.

That would con-nect the park, smaller in size compared to the original plan, to a trail head that leads to the Hirsch Creek Trail.

The application received a number of comments, only one against the proposal, which was worried about the potential of vandalism of a pro-posed water fountain at the park, and was also concerned with a lack of green space buffer between the homes and the cem-etery.

The remaining comments were basi-cally all in favour, pri-marily due to the fact the park would keep an accessway to the trail system.

The loss of the more central park space wasn’t unani-mously supported.

Mario Feldhoff wasn’t happy to see it move, making ac-cess to park space more distant for future homeowners in the neighbourhood.

He suggest a hy-brid solution where the District itself might buy portions of land to maintain the park space. Feldhoff said he was not in fa-vour of maintaining a trailhead if it meant at the expense of a play-ground.

Developer Brian Wakita didn’t outright say no to such a pro-posal but indicated timing is crucial and wasn’t looking to add any length to his time-line to get the next phases under con-struction.

The park space proposed for the out-er edges is still large enough to install play-

ground equipment, the city’s director of plan-ning and community development said.

Claire Rattée said she supports the move, and even notes that the existing proposed park

space, being more central and closer to streets, could even be considered less safe than the new spot.

Mary Murphy also sided with the three readings, saying they

can’t delay the project just for this issue.

At a vote it passed with Feldhoff the sole vote against, still hop-ing to arrange a “hy-brid solution” with Wakita.

Following an approval in principle, council has unanimously passed the first two readings of a zoning amendment which would allow a pro-posed warehouse in the Service Centre to reduce its parking require-ments.

Inland Industrial Supply’s planned warehouse at the corner of Enter-prise and Seventh Avenue wants to limit how many parking spots its re-quired, which after rezoning would also require a development variance and then payment in lieu of actual parking spaces. A public hearing has been set for May 4.
