Trailer park plan pitch for Riverbrook

Cable Car concerned with quarryCameron Orr

The proposal for a rock quarry and borrow pit just south and on the opposite side of the highway from the Cable Car neighbourhood hit a lot of resistance from concerned residents.

As well as those who came in person, Kitimat Council was also presented with a petition of 131 signatures against the pro-posal by Daudet Creek Contracting.

As it is the council at the moment can’t decide if a pit gets approved as it’s an application to the Ministry of Forest, Lands & Natural Resources Operations, however they have forwarded the list of community concerns to the ministry in the hopes they can take those in to consideration with their decision.

Council will get their shot at determining the fate of the quarry in the future themselves as, if it’s approved by the prov-ince, it will still need a temporary commercial use permit which is issued by the municipality.

Jack Oviatt, who is on the board of directors for his son’s Daudet Creek Contracting, tried to sooth concerns of the proj-ect with council and the public. For noise, one of the big con-cerns, he said the location is far enough away that it should not

be a problem. The pit’s � rst phase is at the property’s southern-most area which is a further distance than the land� ll even. Ex-isting haul roads will also be used to manage dust and there will be no more trucks operating with the pit than there is with today’s operations.

Cable Car resident John Pozsgay, also owner of John’s Contracting, in turn presented council with a letter that includ-ed 131 signatures of Cable Car residents concerned with the project, and said that the impacts of traf� c on the highway from the project should be a concern to anybody who uses Highway 37S.

RockContinued from page 1

Poszgay said concerns over the pit remain even if the developer only opens the southernmost area.

Later Mario Feldhoff, while debating what to do with the information, said that if the pit devel-opment was limited to just the south end’s phase one he’d be quicker to support it.

Councillors voted to forward the commu-nity’s concerns off to the provincial government for consideration. While the Advisory Planning Commission had been forwarded the application for comment as well, the deadline for comment to the government was approaching before the APC could meet. The District of Kitimat already had the deadline extended to November 20 to allow the town to gather feedback.

The District will get their chance again to re-view the project when it returns for a temporary commercial use permit. (TECUP)

The idea of the rock quarry and borrow bit adjacent to Highway 37S has some speci� c concerns by area residents:

1) Traf� c on the highway. With a 100km/h speed limit, will it impact safety having trucks entering the highway?

(Speaking on behalf of the project, Jack Oviatt says the pit won’t mean any increase in traf� c over what currently exists.)

2) Noise. Will the development and operation impact quality of life in Cable Car?

(Oviatt says the area is far enough that noise won’t be an issue, plus the landscape will be used as a noise barrier too.)

3) Dust. Will air quality be impacted?(Oviatt says haul roads will be used with dust control management,

including tarps on trucks. That said, John’s Contracting’s John Poszgay says tarping of trucks, including his, is very rarely enforced.)

4) Will this impact recreational access?(Oviatt says upgrades to haul roads will in fact improve access.)

What are the concerns?

Pedestrian still in hospitalCameron Orr

The Kitimat RCMP say they are re-viewing camera foot-age and are still inves-tigating the incident where a pedestrian was hit and seriously hurt near the Haisla/Tsimshian Boulevard intersection.

On November 12 a 47-year-old man crossing the road at around 7 a.m. was hit by a pick-up truck and was eventually � own

to Vancouver with life-threatening inju-ries.

Police say that, as of Friday November 20, the person was still in critical condi-tion.

Police also ex-plained that the driv-er of the pick-up, a 25-year-old, has been cooperating with their investiga-tion too, and there has been no indication of intoxication.

With the investi-gation still ongoing, if anyone has infor-mation or saw the in-cident take place they are encouraged to con-tact the Kitimat RCMP at 250-632-7111.

Police re-mind people to take caution with the shorter hours of the day and with the ar-rival of winter weather and snow.

Cameron OrrThe Fraser Institute has declared a bold prediction that

a ruling in an appeals court earlier this year will put eco-nomic development at risk in B.C., and speci� cally cited the Kitimat smelter as a project that’s put on rocky ground.

The ruling by the BC Court of Appeals grants permis-sion to the Saik’uz and Stellat’en First Nations to level a lawsuit against Rio Tinto relating to allegations of envi-ronmental damage from their Kenney Dam near Vander-hoof.

The author of the Fraser Institute’s report, Ravina Bains, says this ruling opens the gates for First Nations to sue private companies, where in the past First Nations could only take the government to court.

It’s a ruling, they say, that risks current and future

projects in the province. Bains says in particular it can cause issues if cases drag out as others have for decades.

“If you end up having these litigation cases on Ab-original title between private companies and First Nations that go on for decades, that could put an impact on the project in question.”

A survey by the Fraser Institute, she said, found that uncertainty over land claim was a big impediment in the mining sector.

She adds that under the ruling First Nations have to prove Aboriginal title through the individual cases but it also creates questions as to whether the government will acknowledge the title established in the individual case or if First Nations would have to re-litigate against the gov-ernment.

Bains’ report suggests that judges should also consid-er the economic impacts of their rulings as well, which she wrote would provide more clarity on title issues.

Rio Tinto declined comment on the Fraser Institute’s publication due to it being a third-party independent re-port.

We also sought comment from Haisla Chief Council-lor Ellis Ross, however Ross was unavailable for a state-ment last week.

As reported in the October 21 Sentinel, the suit in is-sue here relates to the � ow of water in the Nechako River, which is affected by the company’s Kenney dam.

The Canadian Press had reported the nations said the dam breaches their rights to the waterway and were seek-ing damages for property-rights violations.

Refinery proposal looks to oil by railCameron Orr

The proponent of the Kitimat Clean oil re� nery David Black says he’s com-ing around on the idea of supplying his pro-posed re� nery by rail.

Black, who is also Chairman of Black Press and who owns this newspaper, said he’s been persuaded on the safety of oil by rail for two main rea-sons: the consistency of oil in a rail car is far different, and safer, than in a pipeline, and it reduces costs associ-ated with providing a diluent.

Bitumen oil, he said, is a fairly solid substance that requires diluent material to pump it in a pipeline.

In a rail car it just has to be heated to be poured in and then re-heated at the other end to enter the re� nery.

For the journey the material is so solid that he said in the case of any derailment of the train there’s a good chance the bitumen might not even leak out of the rail car.

“As it cools a few

degrees it sets like wax,” he said. “That’s what you’re shipping. If there’s a derailment it’s not going to run out of the car.”

Oil by rail was not always in his plans though.

“I lived in Wil-liams Lake for 10 years beside the rail line and I knew how many derailments there were continual-ly. It’s just an ongoing fact of life in the rail business,” he said. “So I thought this could be a disaster.”

But he said consultations have changed his mind.

He said the bitu-men has to be heated to 60C to be poured in to rail cars.

When it arrives at the re� nery, steam coils built in to the cars are connected to live steam to loosen it again allowing it to be poured out.

“It could go by pipe too, but rail, in many ways, is sim-pler.”

He told a gather-ing at a Rotary Club meeting in Surrey last

week that he expects six trains a day would run every four hours.

As for the over-all game plan for the re� nery, he says he

had some questions regarding the site to work out before he could submit his envi-ronmental description with the government,

but said that descrip-tion, the � rst step in an environmental review, would go in before Christmas.

I’m not sure everything has been told about the Paris attacks and the other big evolving and complicated story on Canada’s efforts to bring in 25,000 Syrian refugees from camps in Lebanon or Turkey.

This happens a lot faster and more continuously than can be cov-ered by a weekly column.

But one thing is sure, writing this on November 19, exactly a month af-ter the October election, as Rick Mer-cer pointed out in one of his famous rants, “the honeymoon is over for new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.”

He has a lot of work to do and a lot of people are watching. Some are watching more closely than others.

I came across a new website through Google called “Trudeaume-tre.” Its author identi� es himself as the administrator, Dom Bernard.

“I started this website because I felt it was a great time to do it. Af-ter almost 10 years of Conservatives

in Ottawa, we now have a brand new government in power. This is a big change, and on the campaign trail big changes were promised.

Everyone pays close attention be-fore voting day, but what about what happens after that? What about the next weeks, months, years?’ Bernard wonders.

Trudeaumetre he insists is a non-partisan collaborative citizen initia-tive that tracks his performance with regards to his electoral program.

I like the look of it because it outlines each of the Liberal govern-ment promises emerging from the campaign, some 184 of them. Each

is broken down in segments - culture, economy, environment, government, immigration, indigenous people and security - and clearly each is connect-ed in one way or another to all of the others.

Reading the site, it indicates that in its � rst 16 days in of� ce, the Lib-eral government has not started on 171 of its promises, but has made a start on 10 of them and has actually achieved three.

Not bad, I suppose, considering the hectic state of the world in the same period of time and Mr. Trudeau’s intimidating travel schedule to date.

The site says these have been achieved: revocation of rules and reg-ulation to muzzle scientists allowing them to speak freely about their work, a return to the mandatory long form census, and to achieve a cabinet with an equal number of male and female representatives.

Tinker trailer, zoning try

There’s a double whammy of community con-versation at the moment, between the proposed rock quarry near the land� ll and Cable Car, and a new zoning application to build a manufactured home park next to the Riverbrook development behind Li-ard and Nadina streets.

For the rock pit plan it’s hard to take any con-crete position since I don’t live in Cable Car, but the concern for traf� c I think is the big one.

I understand that traf� c in general, especially speed, is a big concern along the highway in that area. Aside from the pit itself, this may be the time the ministry needs to really take a hard look at reduc-ing the speed limit in the area. As much as I might side with some that going 100km/h as far as we can is nice, I can bite the bullet if it means better safety on the road.

But hey, a new trailer park proposal. Lets talk about that.

I asked our social media followers about the plan when I saw it coming up to council. Kerkhoff Con-struction is proposing the mobile home park next to their other development, Riverbrook Estates, behind Nadina and Liard Streets.

Feelings were mixed, some saying if it means more affordable housing then great, others saying it’s just more oversupply in a market that needs no more development.

I for one think a new trailer park is not a bad idea. Sure there’s a limit, but manufactured homes are an affordable way for people to have their own homes, and certainly there are people who are not comfortable in some of the existing locations.

But even today rents remain quite high, even if they have tapered somewhat since last year. And owning detached homes comes with a high price tag too.

The people who dedicate time to housing mat-ters in Kitimat have consistently said that Kitimat doesn’t just need more housing, it needs more diver-sity of housing.

We’ve seen townhouse complexes being built over the last few years, and apartment complexes are going up at Haisla Town Centre (even if they are, for now, leased out to speci� c companies.)

Allowing a manufactured home park to be built seems to follow along with the housing needs of the community.

The town may not necessarily need more of cer-tain kinds of housing, but my sense is that a new de-velopment of a park will be welcome by those who’d use it.

Luke 23: 33-34: “And when they came to the place that is called the skull, there they cruci� ed Him, and the criminals, one on His right and one on His left. And Jesus said, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do” This is our text.

You can tell a lot about a person by their last words. Usually what is most impor-tant to a person is what will be on their mind just before they die.

For example: P.T. Barnum of the famous Barnum and Bailey circus’ last words

were, “How were the receipts at Madison square gardens today”

Humphrey Bogart said, “I never should have switched from Scotch to Martinis,” and Winston Churchill said, “I’m bored with it all” and with that he died.

Tw o - t h o u s a n d years ago, a man on a cross dying for the sins of the world said some words that re-veals something about Himself and what was the most important thing to Him; What He said was, “Father for-give them, they know not what they do.”

The person we are speaking of is of course Jesus Christ and it shouldn’t sur-prise us that forgive-ness was on His mind just before He died.

It’s the reason He gave up His throne in heaven and came to this Earth, to pay the penalty that our sin demands so that we

might be forgiven, but it is still remarkable that He would say this as He died.

To say Jesus was treated like a common criminal is an under-statement. He was beaten with a cat o’ nine tails. The cat o’ nine tails was another lovely Roman inven-tion. It wasn’t enough

to simply whip some-one. No, they embed-ded small bits of metal and glass into the leather to cause maxi-mum damage.

This is what they did to Jesus.

Then they jammed a crown of thorns onto His head so that the thorns would embed in His scalp and cause blood to run down His face. And yet His last words were of forgive-ness.

So what do you think you or I would do in the hour of man’s worst treatment of us?

Would we pray for their forgiveness?

Likely not. It really shows us

that Jesus is who He says He is doesn’t it?

Only God can love like that.

The truth is, you and I are only here today because Jesus prayed that prayer 2,000 years ago and God is still honoring it; and so for a time, forgiveness is God’s free gift to every

repentant heart. The price is paid,

the feast is prepared, and God calls each one of us into the light of His salvation.

May God bless each one of you with humble and repentant hearts as you gaze upon His Son who gave His life that you might be forgiven and receive eternal life.

Amen.

WINTER WONDERLAND!The Kitimat area is beautiful in the winter, so take advantage and get out in the crisp fresh air! By observing the same “green rules” as in warmer months, we can ensure that our pristine winterscape stays beautiful for all to enjoy. Stick to trails, pack out what you pack in, and be respectful to wildlife. Also, consider hiking, snow shoeing or cross country skiing; these are all great, green ways to enjoy the winter wonderland without contributing to emissions or noise pollution!

Continued from page 4There’s apparently a lot of public interest in the website with more than

2,000 public comments to date on the various elements of the Liberal pro-gram. As with regular media, which has been blitzed with similar comments, the immigration promise to bring 25,000 Syrian migrants to Canada, has at-tracted the most comment. As with day-to-day media the comments run the gamut rom objectionable to fawning, depending on your point of view on this issue.

I’ve bookmarked this site and will return to it from time to time to see how it evaluates the government’s progress. Hopefully it will develop and expand into a deeper evaluation tool, but we shall see.

However it has only been a month and public reaction to some of his “in progress” issues have been loud and often aggressive.

Such as the promise to pull out of actively bombing ISIS in favour of a larger training role, which will put more Canadian military on the ground in the danger zone and has not been universally hailed by Canadians since the Paris terrorist attacks.

Or the plan to reverse Canada Post’s objective of establishing community mail boxes across Canada, a sore point with many.

Others started: cancel the Northen Gateway Pipeline, popular on some fronts but certainly not in struggling Alberta; reopen maritime rescue facili-ties in St. John’s and in Kitsilano, B.C.; end the process to buy F-35 aircraft to replace CF-18s; launch a national public hearing for missing and murdered aboriginal women; legalize marijuana and amend the criminal code and de-sign a new system to sell and distribute marijuana; and follow recommenda-tions of the Cohen Commission to restore sockeye salmon to the Fraser River.

I will be watching this site to monitor government progress in conjunc-tion with my usual political reading.

Election

Rethink Canada’s Syrian refugee planDear Sir,

The federal government should seriously reconsider the moratorium on oil tankers in the Northwest and instead look at a moratorium on the refugees from Syria.

It is utter folly to allow 25,000 refugees into our country without strenuous vetting especially since it has been documented that sleepers are being in� ltrated with the refu-gees.

Personally, I think the sen-sible solution would be to use the money that would have been spent on supporting the refugees, on setting up refugee camps and setting up training facilities to arm and train the males to re-enter Syria and � ght for their country.

We expected nothing less from our fathers and grandfathers 76 years ago.

Sincerely,Kenneth MacAulay

The � nal details of the plan could also change, given a sugges-tion from Mayor Phil Germuth to include long-term recreational vehicle parking as part of the site design.

Kerkhoff said it was a suggestion he could take back to the project’s partners.

Another linger-ing question for the proposal is the land structure, as in will it be strati� ed or rental pads.

Kerkhoff said the current leaning is to have it as strata but nothing was settled on that.

Building the trailer park would require the removal of a no-build � ood covenant on the site as well, due to its proximity to the dyke.

Even with that removed a covenant would still be needed to build trailer sites el-evated from the ground in defence of potential � ooding in that area.

The Ministry of Environment would also have to approve the removal of any � ood covenant on the site.

The proposal also received the endorse-ment of Paul Lagace of the Kitimat Housing Resource.

“If there are stra-ta lots as part of the amendment it could provide some secu-rity for other folks at the other two existing trailer parks if they wanted to transport,” he said.

Town sets temporary worker policiesCameron Orr

Kitimat Council has taken in a staff report that details the community’s position on tempo-rary workers.

The report outlines various existing policies which serve to discourage as much as possible the hiring of non-local workers for various projects.

The staff’s report notes that the town can’t in general restrict how a business runs their op-eration but the municipal code and the Of� cial Community Plan does have some outlets for this subject.

Through the OCP the town has encouraged workers who may arrive through a construction

phase to be converted to an operations employee, allowing them and their family to remain. That comes with making Kitimat a desirable location through services and facilities.

Density bonuses with temporary housing zoning also means contributions by proponents into Kitimat’s own housing fund, in effect adding to the permanent stock in the community.

The report also highlights that the community can get better direct bene� t from workers housed away from an industrial site, which would likely mean use of Civeo’s or Horizon North’s camp, or leasing buildings as LNG Canada has done for lo-cations in town.

B.C. has been asked to take in 3,500 refugees from civil war and terrorist attacks in Syria and Iraq and is ready to do so, Premier Christy Clark says.

“The federal gov-ernment has asked us to welcome 3,500 ref-ugees as part of this, and we’ve said yes, we think we can do that,” Clark said Wednesday. “We’ve set a million dollars aside and the federal government has also said they’re going to restore the resettle-ment funding that was cut not that long ago.

“We are going to fund their children when they go to school, of course, and support them in � nding the counselling services, the housing and gen-eral settlement services that they need.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has stuck to his election commitment to bring 25,000 refugees into Canada by the end of December. But as lo-gistical issues and se-curity concerns have arisen, the deadline may be altered.

Con’t from page 3It’s a two year

process to get permits, and he said he’ll be seeking � nancing dur-ing that time too.

“While we’re do-ing that I have to raise $100-$200 million to do all the rest of the preliminary engineer-ing. I’ve done the � rst part, but the second part is more money than I have in my bank account.”

Once � nancing and the review is done he said it will take up to six years to con-struct the facility.

At those estimates the re� nery could po-tentially be running by 2023.

Black also told the Surrey Rotary Club that the federal Liberal government’s move to formally ban crude

oil tankers from B.C.’s north coast means the Northern Gateway pipeline plan is “pretty much dead” but that shouldn’t block tanker exports of re� ned fuel, which would be less damaging than a spill

of crude or bitumen at sea.

CN Rail said they don’t comment on speculative busi-ness but said “CN has ample capacity across its North American network to haul ex-

isting and future vol-umes of all types offreight traf� c.”

CN does not trans-port oil to the west coast at the moment as they say there is no demand for it and that there are no export

terminals to accom-modate rail-to-ship movements of crude oil, said CN Commu-nications Direction Mark Hallman.

He continued, “Railways have an ex-cellent safety records

for crude oil transport overall. Both rail and pipeline have compa-rable safety records and are a safe means of transporting crude oil.

A return of census abilityCameron Orr

Kitimat Council will pen a letter to the federal government thanking them for coming to their census.

That is, the gov-ernment has commit-ted to returning the mandatory long-form census to Canada, which planners say is a crucial piece of data gathering.

Kitimat’s own planning department, in past meetings, has re� ected on how the loss of the long-form census has impacted their own data collec-tion abilities.

Director of Plan-ning and Community Development Gwen Sewell told the Sen-tinel that losing the mandatory long-form meant the town lost data on people at the higher and lower ends of the socio-economic spectrum, which is a huge part of the com-munity.

It creates a re-sponse bias which makes planning issues challenging. For in-stance what are the in-comes of these homes so the town can bet-ter understand what affordable housing

means in Kitimat, or what kind of housing may be most needed.

It’s not just plan-ning information either. Sewell says businesses rely on the information too, such as decisions on what stores to bring to Kiti-mat. Company’s may just see our 8,000-ish population but not know it’s full of high-earning people.

Even more, Sewell says “It’s not the qual-ity of the data,” but the consistency.

After 2011 when the format changed it made tracking trends very challenging.

Mario Feldhoff did vote against deal-ing with anything long-form, includ-ing writing a letter, because he feels its a misplaced priority.

“What upsets me is we have many...out-standing motions but have chosen to priori-tize this,” noting that he had voted against past motions encour-aging retention of the long-form census.

“I personally be-lieve our reliance on the data is overstat-ed,” he said, saying it would not have helped

guide decisions during recent construction pe-riods in Kitimat.

Report shows local business perspectivesCameron Orr

A report which formal-ly breaks down the results of the District of Kitimat’s Business Walk has been re-leased.

Sixty-four businesses were surveyed on a num-ber of questions which included if the business was growing, shrinking or holding steady, what their challenges are and what can be done to help busi-nesses do better. An equal per cent of business own-ers say their business was growing or shrinking (34 per cent each) while 32 per cent say their business is holding steady.

“Several respondents linked their outlook to ma-jor industrial projects such as the Rio Tinto modern-ization and lique� ed natu-ral gas early works,” the report states.

Kitimat’s location eas-ily took the top spot for the question of “what do you

like most about doing busi-ness in Kitimat.”

Sixty-nine per cent say location was what they liked most, while Kitimat’s clientele ranked second with 56 per cent.

The cost of doing busi-ness ranked at the bottom with two per cent.

A business friendly local government hovered in the middle of responses with 11 per cent saying it was a bene� t of doing busi-ness here.

The report shows that attracting and retaining quali� ed employees was one of the greatest com-mon themes when asked about challenges.

Fifteen per cent also said competition from out-of-town businesses was a challenge.

Economic uncertainty was another at 11 per cent.

The top comment for what help businesses want to help them thrive

was to encourage localshopping initiatives.

Just nine per cent said that continued industrial growth would “have a sig-ni� cantly positive impact on their busi-ness.”

Five per cent of busi-nesses said skills train-ing initiatives would bene� t them too.

Tw e n t y per cent of re-sponses given on what infor-mation busi-ness would like access to say they want more infor-mation on construction projects, new b u s i n e s s e s and growth prospects.

E i g h t

per cent also had interest in a community calendar to know in advance when community events were taking place.

With these answers

in hand the District of Kitimat will be holding aBusiness Round Table dis-cussion this week to further follow up with interested parties.

“The District of Kiti-mat intends to conduct another Business Walk in 2016 to measure changes in the local business climate.” the report concludes.”

Cameron OrrWhile the Kitimat Modernization Project may be all but

done, it's not the end of Rio Tinto's plans in Kitimat.The company is still working their way through an en-

vironmental review process to extend their Terminal A, their shipping terminal for the aluminum smelter.

It's a process that began June 2014 and the company is now awaiting � nal word from the BC Environmental Assess-ment Of� ce

"It's just a matter of when everything's complete and the BCEAO makes their decision," said Kevin Dobbin, Manager Communities and Media, BC Operations.

Rio Tinto has held a series of open houses on the project

which will increase the capacity of Terminal A, a result of a lease arrangement for LNG Canada with the company's other wharf, Terminal B, in Kitimat.

As it is now, Terminal B is used for shipping out the smelter's metals but when an extended terminal is built, the company will use that single terminal for import and export purposes.

The Ministry of Environment says the application is go-ing through themselves and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for a decision.

Once the application has been referred to the minis-tries there is a 45-day window for the ministers to make a decision.

Story of Kitimat reaches to ItalyCameron Orr

The story of Kitimat is reaching far.Last year a group of students from

Italy spent a week exploring and learning about our community � rst hand.

The lesson continued with presen-tations in October about Kitimat to stu-dents in Italy itself. The presentation was led by John Allsop, who lived in

Kitimat for a time and is a key organizer to the cultural exchange program under-way.

A translation of an Italian newspa-per’s article, written by di Maddalena Di tolla, describes the Italian students’ visit to Kitimat in 2014 through the Marie Cu-rie Institute, a trip which focused largely on the issues that surround the Northern

Gateway project.Allsop liaised information on this re-

gion on behalf of some members of the Haisla. Haisla member Gerald Amos is expected to arrive to Pergine, Italy him-self next Spring, along with a number of students from Kitimat.

Allsop had presented a Haisla drum to the school in Italy.

Bert passed away peacefully, with family members by his side, on November 11, 2015 at Kitimat General Hospital, after a very long and courageous battle with carcinoid syndrome (a rare form of cancer).Left to mourn him are his wife of 45 years, Karen; sons Zefferino and Neeno (Lisa); daughter Nika (Mike Sorensen); and grandchildren Trinity, Tristan, and Tiah.Bert was predeceased by his parents Zefferino and Guilia, brothers Domenico and Sebastiano, and sister Antonia Massari. He is survived by his brother Vincenzo, sisters Rosa Colangeli and Maria Genzale, and many nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews.Bert, at the age of 12, with his mother and sister Maria, emigrated from Navelli, Italy on November 09, 1956 aboard the “Conte Bianca Mano” heading to Canada to join his father in Kitimat. They arrived in Halifax on November 18 then traveled by train to Kitimat, arriving on November 23, 1956. He attended school in Kitimat and then went to Vancouver to become an Ironworker and Welder. Bert was a very proud and dedicated member of the Ironworkers Local 97 for 49 years and was still working at the age of 69. The family would like to thank Bert’s doctors: Dr. Huang, Dr. Johal, and Dr. Au, and the nurses at Kitimat General Hospital; Home Care Nurses: Aynsley, Ashley, Gloria, Debbie, and Sabine, and other caregivers over the past eight years.Thank you to friends and neighbours who sent cards, fl owers, food, and their kind words of sympathy and support.

Big win for PeeWeesThe Kitimat Winterhawks PeeWee rep team played in the Cliff Sharples Memorial tournament in Terrace October 23-25, and were victorious in the final game to win the tournament. Kitimat played Terrace in the first game and lost 8-4. In their second game Kitimat played Smithers and won the game 6-3. In their third game Kitimat beat Prince Rupert 6-2. This set up Kitimat to play Terrace again in the final game. Terrace scored in the first minute of the game to take an early lead, but Kitimat would come back and win the game 8-5. Goal scorers in that final game were, Phillip Tremblay with five, Chase Pacheco with two and Jack Poznikoff with one and Lucas Aiken with three assists. It was a total team effort with the kids taking care of their defensive zone first. The coaches were very proud of the kids for their dedication and work ethic throughout the tournament. Submitted

Kitimat’s Dumas selected to prospects campJason Cathers

Sixteen-year-old Kitimat Marlin Swim Club swimmer Zach-ary Dumas has quali-fied and will be attend-ing the 2015 Swim BC prospects camp in Kelowna.

The camp is de-signed for the top 14-16 year old boys and girls in the province to further their devel-opment in the sport towards national and international levels.

Over the two days the swimmers will work on improving

their swim technique through world level coaching and video-taping. They will also have presentations in mental skills, nutri-tion and have a moti-

vational presentation from Canadian Olym-pic medalist swimmer Brett Hayden.

Dumas qualified for the camp by being one of the top eight 16-year-old boys in the province.

The camp selects the fastest sprint free-style, distance free-style, breaststroke, butterfly, backstroke and individual medley 16-year-old swimmers in the province.

It also selects two wild card swimmers for the next two fastest

16-year-olds regardless of stroke. With Dumas taking a bronze medal in the 400 meter in-dividual medley and a top eight finish in the 200 meter IM at last summers BC pro-vincial swim champs Dumas obtained one of the wildcard spots. Swim BC will provide $500 to help Dumas travel to the camp.

Dumas had a breakthrough season in his swimming last season with many pool and regional records as well as many top eight

finishes at provincial champs and top 16 fin-ishes at western nation-als. Dumas is training hard this season and

looks to continue on his success from last season.

He has already taken the gold medal

for overall points at the first regional swim meet in the season in Prince Rupert last month.

The Kitimat Midget Winterhawks put up a valiant effort against Prince Rupert’s Sealwolves the November 14 weekend in Kitimat.

The Winterhawks made the Seawolves work for their victory in game one, with Prince Ru-pert barely taking it with a 5-4 victory. Game 2 was played on Sunday morning in Kitimat, and

it featured another tight game. Game two ended with 4-2 for the Seawolves as well.

Prince Rupert was itching for this win as the Winterhawks handed Prince Rupert double-losses earlier in October.
