David Black’s overseas trip positive for refinery planCameron Orr

Kitimat Clean President David Black says the response to his Kitimat-based re� nery proposal in Japan and China has been positive, while his critics in the oil sands have been growing more silent.

Black, also Chairman of Black Press, the newspaper chain which owns the Northern Sen-tinel, spent his Halloween, and the days after, travelling to Tokyo then to Beijing to pitch his re� nery plan to about a dozen companies.

Each company he spoke with has asked for more information, he said, while at least one is planning a trip to Canada in December to speak to him further.

“It was all pretty positive. Everybody was interested, everybody wanted more information and not one of them said ‘well, no, we’re not in-terested.’,” said Black.

In addition he said each company also in-quired about their ability to potentially invest in the proposed re� nery. Black said there is the op-portunity for minority stakes but he would want to keep the company controlled in Canada.

Black said he’s baf� ed by early critics to the plan who had suggested Asian markets did not want to import re� ned fuels.

“I never understood that. That’s what [John] Horgan and others said. I never understood where they got that information from,” he said. “There’s a big market in re� ned fuel. In fact it was the single biggest export from the United States last year. They sold $88 billion in re� ned fuel.”

While Black has plans to visit other coun-tries, including Korea, he said Japan and China both have strong reasons for getting behind a Kitimat re� nery.

In China the reason is fairly straight-forward; they need more oil each year, said Black, and their option is to build their own re� neries or get it from Canada. Getting it from us would be cheaper, Black argues, and better for the environ-ment. China’s main source of power for re� neries would be burning coal.

“So if they let us build a re� nery instead, they don’t have the same pollution issue.”

The situation in Japan is a bit more unique. Black said that they’re actually at over capacity for re� nery production, but the changing supply of oil means they have serious investments to make in the future.

Habituated wolves from the Hospital Beach destroyedCameron Orr

A pack of wolves which had grown cozy feeding off the kindness of strang-ers were destroyed on Nov. 14 because they had become too habituated to hu-man contact.

Area conservation of� cer Dale Kluivers con� rmed last week that the wolves, which to some people had been an attraction around the Hospital Beach area, had become way too comfortable around humans, a dangerous thing to be when you’re a wild animal.

Two wolves had been seen for about two weeks prior to Kluivers arrival to their hangout and he said in all there was a family of � ve.

“They were very habituated. When I came there they came right to the truck,” he said. “They were really looking for handouts.”

He said conversations with Rio

Tinto Alcan employees revealed that the wolves would actually follow people around who parked at the beach and got out of their vehicles.

“By feeding them...they get so ac-customed to human food that it decreases their natural food gathering skills,” said Kluivers. “They should be hunting deer and moose with their family.”

The potential danger to humans is that if they don’t receive a steady supply of food once they’re habituated like these ones are, they can get quite bold in their behaviour.

Kluivers suspects these wolves were being fed by people in the summer and through the fall but as the weather got colder people stopped coming by as of-ten.

“Because they ware so skinny, I think they just didn’t know how else to get their food anymore.”

Maryann Ouellet, who manages the Kitimat Humane Society shelter, said that they initially heard about the wolves when they received a call about a “mangy looking dog.”

When she got there she found one of the wolves laying on a rock. She thought it was a coyote at � rst.

Speaking to the Sentinel before the wolves were destroyed, she said she al-ready knew what likely lay in store for the animals, due to the fact they were be-ing fed.

“You’ve basically just signed their death warrant,” she said.

Efforts were made by her to try to get the wolves into a wildlife shelter, but wolves cannot be legally trapped without receiving special permits, and Kluivers thinks destroying them was actually the best option for them.

Continued from page 1“I don’t like to destroy those beautiful ani-

mals. [But] for the animals themselves, it’s no suffering anymore. I think for the animal itself it’s the best solution.”

He said putting them into a shelter would mean they would have to spend their entire lives in a cage.

Relocation also likely wouldn’t work be-cause, due to their habituation and lack of hunting skills, they would very quickly end up in a work camp or in a town somewhere.

The biggest takeaway for the public from this is to think before trying to feed wild animals.

Handing food to them will only make them dependent on food and take away their own ability to hunt.

Continued from page 1“The world is moving to

heavier oil. The supplies of light oil have been going down about three per cent a year so more and more refineries are having to put in coking equip-ment so they can handle heavier oil,” he said. “In Japan’s case, they’re going to have to put a lot of money into their refiner-ies… why not come over here, buy into a new Kitimat refinery, and bring the refined product back to Japan and land it there cheaper than they could pro-duce it?”

He also said Japan’s tight energy infrastructure could be loosened by shutting down some of their existing refiner-ies, shifting their supply from a Kitimat refinery.

“Sure enough there was a lot of interest [for that],” he said.

Interest continued to grow, not just from Asia. He said he had a recent meeting from a North American company in-terested in the refinery to sup-ply diesel.

Meanwhile he said the plan’s critics have for the most

part been coming around.He noted criticism which

said that the oil could just be re-

fined off the Gulf of Mexico in Houston, Texas, but Black countered that a cost analysis showed that incorporating all the extra transport costs meant the product would cost an extra $20 per barrel.

“They’re in the wrong ocean,” he said.

Black plans to stick with Kitimat Clean as chairman for as long as it takes to get the job done properly and to ensure it’s environmentally sensitive, but doesn’t expect he’d be in charge long after the project comes to reality.

“I wouldn’t think my time as chairman would be very long,” he said, pointing out that if it takes eight years he’ll be 74 when it’s done.

But he does feel the time crunch to see the project done.

“I would rather there wasn’t too big a gap in time between when the refinery’s finished and the pipeline’s finished,” he said. “The quicker I can get the refinery on stream the less pressure

there will be to start shipping bitumen.”

Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, November 28, 2012 3

David Black’s four key points for why a Canadian facility could refine fuel cheaply:

1) The feed stock of oil to sup-ply the refinery can be provided to a Kitimat refinery more cheaply than it would be for other countries re-quiring to import it.

2) It takes a lot of natural gas to run a refinery — it costs more than the labour, he said — and North America has a natural gas supply which is four to five times cheaper than in Asia.

3) The economies of scale work for a Kitimat refinery as it would be larger than anything that currently exists in China.

4) The cost to deliver refined fuel to Japan or China is far lower than shipping the crude product to a country.

Council seeks power answers from HydroKitimat Council is asking BC Hydro

for some information regarding power needs for proposed Kitimat-area LNG and pipeline projects.

The motion, put forward by Phil Germuth, has the District of Kitimat writing a letter to BC Hydro asking for a copy of a final report on meetings and forums the utility company held earlier this year regarding projects in North-western B.C. Also they will be request-ing that BC Hydro host a public forum in Kitimat.

The same motion will request the

provincial government clarify their posi-tion on the supply of energy to proposed liquefied natural gas facilities and pro-posed Northern Gateway Pipeline. Fi-nally the motion calls for a request from B.C.’s official opposition to a comment on their position regarding electricity supply for these projects if they formed the next government.

Speaking to his motion, Germuth referred to cost analyses provided by Enbridge during Joint Review Panel hearings which he said made no mention to the cost of electricity on taxpayers to

supply the oil pipeline. He said he’s seen calculations that suggest residents of B.C. could be subsidizing the electricity needs of the pipeline proposal by $50-$70 million a year.

As the motion simply sought more information regarding electricity needs it received unanimous support for all at-tending councillors.

As reported in the Sentinel on June 6 this year, LNG development is among the largest industrial sectors driving up demand for electricity according to BC Hydro’ draft Integrated Resource Plan

2012 document.The report says that there will be an addi-

tional demand of 4,900 gigawatt hours of energy by 2021 and 12,500 by 2031, just due to the two larger LNG proposals for Kitimat — Kitimat LNG and LNG Canada.

When we last spoke to proponents for the BC LNG Co-op they said their electricity needs were unclear as they were determining whether or not to self-generate their power.


Language and its interpreta-tion often opens up heated divi-sions of opinion.

Case 1: Business protests in Quebec over new interpretations of government rules on the use of French, will be moved, inevi-tably, into the courts as Walmart, Costco, Best Buy, Gap, Old Navy and Guess aren’t prepared to change their one-word names into French-i� ed versions, if that made up word can be used.

This is based on new interpretations by the minority Parti Quebecois govern-ment of the old – to me, equally silly – lan-guage predominance laws. What the Que-bec government wants, as an example, is for Walmart, as an example, to take down its one word ID “Walmart” name sign and replace it with one that says “Le magasin Walmart.”

The Quebec language “watchdog” is more of an ultra-aggressive “mad dog” called the Of� ce Quebecois de la Langue Francaise, and what it wants is for multi-national (and other non-French-language-based retailers) to change their signs to either give themselves a generic French name or add a slogan or explanation that re� ects what it is they’re selling. (In French of course.) It is truly obsessive, pretty expensive if you own a chain and a real unnecessary waste of everybody’s time.

Some companies have bowed to the

pressure. The Bay, in Quebec, is La Baie. Scotiabank is Banque Scotia, Kentucky Fried Chicken is Poulet Frit Kentucky...easy enough I guess, but that is compli-ance, and most of the big stores that are now going to court insist they have com-plied with the existing content of French-language laws, in place for 35 years, but these new demands are seen as the thin edge if the wedge, excessively stringent and not written in the laws.

Really, does this make any sense what-soever? Shoppers are mostly grown-ups who can tell what a store is. They don’t need the government to order retailers to explain they’re a drug store, a big-box vari-ety store, a hardware store, a pub or a res-taurant.

Is this what the courts should be focus-ing on in Quebec in these days of rampant unemployment and economic stress? Is this what the voters and taxpayers of Quebec want? I really doubt it. The Charbonneau Commission gives a much better indication of where the government of Quebec should be promptly focusing its attention. This is

where the reputation of Quebec is in tatters – no matter which gov-ernment or what cities brought it about.

Case 2: While we are at it, do the people of British Colum-bia truly expect or appreciate their Minister of Aboriginal Af-fairs “apologizing” on behalf of the government for the colonial days hanging of two native men in

1869? B.C. didn’t even become a province of Canada until 1871.

So, while there may be some questions about the guilt or innocence of two men, John Anietsachist and another man named Katkinna, who were hanged at Estevan Point, north of To� no, for the alleged mur-der of two shipwrecked sailors. Historians however have suggested that “faulty inter-pretation” of testimony in native language may have contributed to their conviction. “May have.” They don’t really know.

To be fair, there’s nothing wrong with Ida Chong attending a “reconciliation” feast with the Hesquiaht First Nation. But it’s clear even Ms. Chong was aware that an “apology” would be examined – so to my mind, she acknowledged there might be a “difference in interpretation,” by merely expressing regret for the deaths. The expression of regret, and not an apol-ogy, was � tting because British Columbia did not of� cially become a province until 1871, Chong said.

How bad is it?Dana Larsen’s recent tour to promote

the decriminalization of cannabis use brings up a long-standing issue of whether we as a society really care about whether people get high or not.

I don’t know about everyone else here but I know I don’t.

After talking to Larsen recently I can begin to appreciate what he means when he talks about the policing resources it takes to deal with marijuana is not worth the trouble. Right now I’m looking at the number of Kiti-mat RCMP � les that were opened regarding marijuana and so far this year there have been 25 cases.

For possessions, there have been three cases for cocaine, and none for meth or ec-stasy. There have only been two cocaine traf� cking cases and two of traf� cking other drugs.

So on the drug front, marijuana is de� -nitely taking up a bigger slice of time than all other drugs combined, if the numbers of cases are anything to go by.

Of course that says little of whether or not smoking up is actually harmful. And sure, smoking marijuana is harmful. As bad as cigarettes? I doubt it. As bad as alcohol? Comparable, I’m sure.

To get a better sense of this I turned to reports from the Canadian Centre on Sub-stance Abuse. According to their documents, they say research is showing cannabis could negatively affect mental and physical health, cognitive functioning (skills like memory, for example), ability to drive a motor vehi-cle and the development of children born to those who use cannabis.

If I didn’t know better I might think they were talking about alcohol, or Halloween candy. (“Wait, how many peanut butter cups did I eat?”)

Even when it comes to brain function, their report continued that long-term use doesn’t appear to produce lasting impair-ments, the concern is really when adoles-cents use it, in which case maybe the prob-lems would last because of the stage of their brain’s development.

Now, they said frequent users are at in-creased risk for psychosis or psychotic symp-toms, and while I have nothing to counter that claim, I do wonder whether the studies for that were using medically supplied can-nabis and not drugs people have been acquir-ing from the street.

Continued from page 4But she went on to say, “With all our govern-

ment was doing with respect to other First Nations — with reconciliation, with recognition, with re-spect — we felt that this was one area that had to be dealt with before we could move forward with any other matters,” she said from the ceremony with the Hesquiaht and other bands.

Talk about a cold case – and maybe re-writing history. An inquest found the two men responsible for murder and they were sentenced and hanged – the prescribed punishment of the day. There’s no real evidence that the decision was wrongful, other than the claim by the families (and histori-

ans) that it was unjust – which started about eight years ago.

Anyway, not to make “a federal case” out of it, I do wonder, seriously, if the government will allow itself to be persuaded to pursue the indi-vidual cases of other people executed for crimes committed in the last two millenia – and dispatch a Minister to express regret for the pain in� icted on all of the families, native or non-native.

It’s sympathetic and garners media coverage, but I question, with all of the aboriginal issues facing the B.C. Government, whether this is re-ally a good use of ministerial time or resources.

The Bible’s word is reliableHebrews 4:12-13: “For the Word

of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword.”

It’s nothing new for the Bible to come under attack, this has been going on since the beginning, and so today we will look at a couple of the accusa-tions that have been used to discredit the Bible and see if they stand up.

The � rst accusation is, “The Bible is just a book of made-up stories.”

For this we can look outside of the Bible and see what archaeology has to say. From the walls of Jericho to the Sea of Galilee; from newly discovered writ-ings and manuscripts to building inscrip-tions, the more they dig, the more they prove that the events of the Bible are not � ights of fancy, but that they are actual events that involve real people in real places. And so, in terms of historical ac-curacy, the Bible is reliable.

The second accusation is that it is a human document and God was not in-

volved in writing it. Well, consider that it has lasted intact for centuries against all the opposition against it and that there are 24,000 ancient manuscripts of the New Testament alone that have been pre-served (the next closest is Homer’s Iliad with 643). That has to be God preserving His Word. A second way to see God’s hand in the Bible is in the prophesies in Scripture. No human can predict the fu-ture 100 per cent of the time, but even if we look at just one aspect of prophesy, that of the coming Messiah, we can see the Bible’s accuracy. There are 61 dif-

ferent prophecies of the Messiah in the Old Testament; and from Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem and His betrayal for 30 pieces of silver, both proph-esied 500 years before His birth, to His death on a cross prophesied 1,500 years earlier, we can see that the Bible has an unblemished re-cord of ful� llment of all 61 of these prophesies in Jesus Christ. And that’s just the prophesies of Christ.

This could not happen in a human docu-ment.

Friends, it is not possible to properly defend the Bible in this short column, so I will simply challenge you to read it for yourself, or � nd a church in Kitimat that proclaims God’s Word as truth, and see for yourself. It is living and active and in it we have been given God’s promise of eternal salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. No other book has that. It is God’s promise to you. You have His Word on it.

Amen.

Warnings from out east

Police seize cocaine, other drugs

Dear Sir,As someone who has been dealing with the

environmental impact of an Enbridge project in Kincardine, I think I should share my experiences with those living along the proposed Gateway pipeline route to consider.

Enbridge began operating a 115 wind turbine project in our com-munity in early 2009. Residents living among the turbines started complaining about health issues almost immediately but they were brushed off by Enbridge whose local management chose to hide behind � awed Ontario government rules. A complaint resolution protocol formally written into government approvals for the project was ignored.

Over the past two years, as we have present-ed case studies of twenty health affected house-holds, Enbridge has still taken no action to ad-

dress these problems. Our local Medical Of� cer of Health responded that these residents concerns were ‘absolutely legitimate’; but Enbridge contin-ues to stall taking actions to address the peoples’

issues.The Enbridge record of behavior

with our project would indicate that their responsiveness to problems as claimed in their Statement of Cor-porate Values is fantasy. When seen in the cold light of day outside the

Enbridge boardroom, it is merely a poster for a public relations exercise of the most cynical kind.

Our experiences should be a warning for your community to be wary of Enbridge’s promises.

Kitimat RCMP announced they successfully executed a search warrant which lead to the sei-zure of a “large quantity” of cocaine.

On Nov. 21 at around 10:30 a.m., RCMP members entered a home in the 500 block of Co-lumbia Avenue and recovered an untold quantity of cocaine, marijuana and cash.

Police also say that a man was found in the home and was taken into custody.

The man was released later in the day pending a future court appearance.

As of the RCMP’s last report to council for the month of October there had been two cases of cocaine traf� cking for 2012.

Cameron OrrAs long as Canada can develop its transpor-

tation and port infrastructure it will see a fast-growing trade relationship with China and other growing countries towards the year 2025.

That’s as trading slows with other traditional partners, including with the United States, says a report released by the Conference Board of Can-ada under its Global Commerce Centre.

The United States will remain Canada’s larg-est trading partner by 2025, the report suggests, but Canada will see China likely be the largest growing trading partner, and it’s expected that China’s share of Canadian goods exports will increase to 6.8 per cent by that year, compared to three per cent right now.

“Not surprising-ly, our share of trade to places like China would increase sharply while our share with the U.S., while still high, would go down, and the issue is would we have the infrastructure to meet the demands,” Principal Economist Kip Beck-man, who authored the report, told the Sentinel.

The report does address the challenges Cana-da has had in meeting export demand.

“It may take many years for Canada to build the capacity required to transport raw materi-als to foreign destinations,” it says in the report. “For instance, the production of mineral fuels in Canada was flat between 2002 and 2010, even though prices—especially for oil—surged over the decade.”

Beckman said, “If we want to take advantage of that [Chinese] market we’re going to have to

[build infrastructure] but you have to countervail that with the environmental issues that are being raised in terms of building the pipeline.”

“There’s a trade-off that Canada has to face,” he said.

The report itself doesn’t many any conclu-sions about whether things such as oil pipelines are necessary or good or bad.

The high value of the Canadian dollar is something they also see staying where it is, which hurts manufacturing exports into markets like the U.S., but the exchange rate doesn’t have a large impact when it comes to raw material exports to places like China or Japan, where that country’s

gross domestic product is a much greater indi-cator of trade.

It is raw materi-als which comprise the bulk of Canada’s export demands to places such as China.

China, Brazil, Mexico and India are the countries with the high-est potential for trading growth in Canada. In Mexico the report forecasts a rise in overall trade from today’s 1.2 per cent to two per cent in 2025. In India it may double to 1.9 per cent while Brazil trade will double to 1.3 per cent of overall Cana-dian exports.

For the United States, overall Canadian ex-ports may drop from 75 per cent in 2010 to 68 per cent in 2025.

Weak economies in the United Kingdom and Japan may also mean drops in Canadian trade. U.K.’s share of exports is expected to fall from 2.9 per cent today to 1.9 per cent in 2025 while Japan’s will go from 2.3 per cent to 1.6.

A plaque dedicated to workers injured or killed in the line of their work was unveiled on Nov. 17 at Coghlin Park. The plaque, set in stone, was installed in collaboration with CAW 2301, the Kitimat-Terrace District Labour Council and the District of Kitimat. Shown above are representatives of each of those three groups at the dedication ceremony. Also instrumental in installing the plaque was Jack Oviatt, who selected the rock from his gravel pit and placed it at the site. Cameron Orr photo

There’s no mistaking the importance of Kitimat, B.C., to the Gateway project. It’s where the pipeline ends, and it’s where marine operations begin.

I’d like to set the record straight on why we chose Kitimat, at the head of the Douglas Channel, as the site for Gateway’s marine terminal. The answer took thousands of hours of research, planning, engineering, environmental science, oceanography consultation, weather monitoring, and simulation. But the simple reason is . . . safety, all the way.

The Douglas Channel is one of the widest and deepest inland waterways on North America’s west coast. Government research had already determined Kitimat to be among the safest ports in B.C., and about 1,500 tankers carrying petrochemicals have docked safely at Kitimat over the past quarter-century.

Strategically speaking, Kitimat provides the lowest environmental risk for all aspects of Gateway operations. It offers a safer endpoint for the pipeline route, from a geotechnical perspective. The marine terminal at Kitimat also provides safe approaches for tanker traffi c — with a suitable turning basin in Kitimat Arm, and natural deep-water berths that are sheltered

from open-water wave conditions.

At its very narrowest, the Douglas Channel is 1.4 kilometres wide — three times wider than Transport Canada’s recommended width for two-way tanker traffi c. Water depths in the marine channels are up to several hundred metres.

As an added measure, full simulations of vessel traffi c in the Douglas Channel were carried out at a world-leading facility in Denmark. It tested the largest proposed vessels in environmental conditions that tankers would experience in the marine channels. The result was a thumbs-up on the shipping route, endorsed by both government departments and the British Columbia Coast Pilots.

Why Kitimat? Why the Douglas Channel? It’s the safe option for Gateway.

Public NoticeTraffic Light Installation

on Smelter Site Road

Motorists are advised that a permanent traffic light is in the process of being installed on Smeltersite Road at the intersection of the KMP Construction Village entrance and West parking lot.

Please drive with caution through this area and be mindful that work zone barricades have been erected, heavy equipment is operating on the roadway, and flagging personnel are directing single-lane alternating traffic.

As always, observe posted speed limts. Public safety is our number one priority.Members of the Unis’tot’en protest pipeline development through

their traditional territory. Submitted photo

PTP workers blockedCameron Orr

An eagle feather was reportedly handed to surveyors working on behalf of Apache Canada to develop the Pacific Trails Pipeline, the first and only no-tice of trespass under Wet’suwet’en law.

The feather was handed over by Chief Toghestiy of the Unis’tot’en Clan, un-der their traditional law called Bi Kyi Wa’at’en, or “responsibility of a husband to respectful-ly use and protect his wife’s territory.”

Toghestiy’s terri-tory, he said in a me-dia release, is located on Clore River, which is a short distance east from Terrace.

“We will be stop-ping all proposed pipe-lines,” he said.

The surveyors were apparently stopped at the bridge crossing for the Morice River. After denying the surveyors access, the protesters say they have confis-cated the equipment and will not release it until Apache and the Pacific Trails Pipeline company agree to open up “appropriate lines of

communication” with their clan and grass-roots Wet’suwet’en members — neither group is affiliated with the Office of the Wet’suwet’en.

This clan, they say, are dead-set against all pipelines that are pro-posed or expected to cross their territories — that also includes the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline from Enbridge.

Freda Huson, who is the clan’s spokesper-

son, said that the Pa-cific Trails Pipeline has no permission to be on the territory.

“You’ve received your warning. Don’t come back,” she also said through a media release.

M e a n w h i l e Apache’s communi-cations spokesperson Paul Wyke confirmed that surveyors were asked to leave tradi-tional territory on Nov. 20.

“We under-

stand that there are some members of the Unis’tot’en who have expressed some con-cerns and we continue to consult with First Nations along the en-tire proposed pipeline right-of-way, including the Unis’tot’en,” said Wyke.

He added, “The proposed Pacific Trail Pipeline project con-tinues to benefit from strong First Nations’ involvement and sup-port.”

Channel Watch given awardThe Douglas Channel Watch and it’s rough-

ly 50 members were congratulated by the B.C. Sierra Club with a Rosemary Fox Conservation Achievement Award.

The Kitimat-based group has members here and in Terrace, and are regular attendees at Kiti-mat Council meetings where they typically pres-ent information pertaining to the proposed En-bridge Northern Gateway Pipeline.

The group has been a little silent the past cou-ple of months at meetings only because members are focused on ongoing Joint Review Panel hear-ings in Prince George and, later, Prince Rupert.

DCW member Murray Minchin said the rec-ognition is nice.

“We’re just a newly formed group, just a few years ago, so we’ve just put our heads down and just been chugging away and working really hard and it was really nice to be recognized for it,” he said.

Councillor Phil Germuth did publicly thank the group for their work in light of their recogni-tion with the award.

Out of the 50 or so members in the group, three are actual intervenors in the JRP process, meaning they get the privilege of asking ques-tions of the company during their application process.

The award, said Minchin, who noted that no one in the group has any distinctive titles, gives their group more exposure and legitimacy.

“It puts us out there in a new kind of way. It’s nice to be an award winning environmentalist than an enemy of the state,” he joked.

He said their regular appearances at council meetings were something they were “forced” into after what they perceive as a lack of attention or movement from the local government.

“It was our job to go up there and keep re-minding them of the dangers and the things to watch out for.”

Meanwhile, the group has been frustrated with a lack of information from Enbridge at the

hearings.“It was our job as intervenors

to test the evidence. And there was nothing to test,” he said. A lot of their questions were put off, saying they would be answered through fu-ture studies.

“Their finalized spill response plan will be done six months prior to operations,” he said, saying that they

were told that only up to 40 per cent of detailed engineering work would be done by 2014. “It was like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall.”

At least with this award, he and the group’s other members know that all of their hard work and hours of dedication is being recognized.

“There’s been a lot of work by a lot of people.”

Shaun ThomasThe Enbridge Northern Gateway Joint Review

Panel will be spending more than two months in Prince Rupert early next year as part of the final hearings on the project.

The panel released a revised hearing schedule on Nov. 15, outlining opportunities to provide oral statements on the proposed pipeline from Edmon-ton to Kitimat, with Prince Rupert being one of only four communities in BC to host the panel.

There will be three weeks of hearings in Feb-ruary, on the weeks of Feb. 3, Feb. 10 and Feb. 24. March will include two weeks of hearings, in-cluding the weeks March 10 and March 17. Hear-ings will resume on March 31, and will carry on through the weeks of April 7, April 21 and April 28, and a final week of hearings will be held the week of May 12.

The hearings are scheduled, with the excep-tion of the week of March 31, to run from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday with four weeks including a Saturday morning hearing.

According to Annie Roy, communications manager for the Joint Review Panel, the schedule is based on the expressed need.

“The way it works is intervenors needed to provide us an estimate of how long they need to question the panel or the company.... Based on that information the weeks needed to be extended in order to hear from everyone,” she said.

Other hearings will take place in Victoria and Vancouver. The panel expects to begin its delib-erations in July and release its report on Dec. 29, 2013.

Anna KillenKeeping with this years trend, the number

of passengers at the Northwest Regional Airport continued to break records, with October 2012 being the second highest month in recorded his-tory and easily the busiest October on record.

“Usually October is on its way down,” said airport manager Carman Hendry.

October 2012 saw 13,086 passengers come through the airport. That’s 383 more than Sep-tember 2012 and 1,617 more than October of last year.

The highest month on record was August of this year. 13808 passengers used the airport that month.

“For a fiscal year it equals a 15 per cent in-crease over last year, and for calendar year its 16 per cent,” he said. The fiscal year ends March 31.

“We’re five to six months into the fiscal year and 15 per cent ahead of the game,” he said.

Airlines are keeping up with the demand, said Hendry, noting that Air Canada has three flights a day for the first time in a long time, and Hawkair is also seeing three departures a day, both seven days a week.

“Usually the Saturdays have been one flight for Hawkair, two for Air Canada,” he said.

And Central Mountain Air flies six times a week, adding to the total number of flights, which is around 50 per week according to the airport’s online schedule.

The flight schedule this fall is equal to a summer flight schedule, he said.

Want the speed reducedCouncillor Corinne

Scott was taking a sec-ond swing at a proposal to reduce the speed lim-it on a portion of High-way 37S at a recent council meeting, some-thing that had been � rst brought up by Mary Murphy in the past.

The area in ques-tion is the highway from the Kitimat snow-� ake to Hirsch Creek Bridge. Currently a 100 km/h zone, Scott wants to see it dropped to 80km/h, as a safety measure mainly for the turn-off into Cablecar.

This is a continua-tion of another motion council passed — that one also moved by Mary Murphy — that has the council asking the ministry of trans-portation to incorpo-rate turning lanes into Cablecar.

“However that may take awhile,” said Scott at the council meeting. She said reducing the speed limit is a poten-tially less costly ac-tion for the time being while turning lanes are worked on.

Scott said that it’s unsafe having the speed limit so high, meaning that it takes a lot of at-tention to not slam into the back of another car who may be slowing to turn into Cablecar.

“I think the reduc-tion of speed right from the Kitimat entrance welcoming sign would be viable,” she said.

Chief Administra-tive Of� cer Ron Poole also suggested to coun-

cil during discussion that this could be a good time to invite Transpor-tation’s newest district manager to a meeting to discuss transporta-tion issues.

The motion as passed was to reduce the speed limit, and council added attach-ing an invitation to the district manager and to seek input from the town’s traf� c commit-tee.

The only opposed vote to the motion was from Mario Feldhoff

who wasn’t in disagree-ment with the idea of reducing the speed lim-it but rather he would have been more com-fortable seeking input from the traf� c com-mittee before proceed-ing with the request to the ministry of trans-portation.

“I’ll vote against the motion because I feel technical input is important,” said Feld-hoff, who still opposed the motion after it was added that the traf� c committee would be in-

volved, however not be-fore the request would be mailed.

Scott said that she has no problem having the traf� c committee discuss the issue but she didn’t want to seek their input � rst because she said she didn’t want the motion being lost to other layers of govern-ment.

Council’s repre-sentative on the traf� c committee Phil Ger-muth said that they had only met once in the past year.

Shoppers checked out the wares at the 40th annual Christmas Craft and Gift Fair at the Riverlodge on Nov. 2nd and 3rd.

Minor Hockey wants your pointsKitimat Minor Hockey is hoping to

score some points from the community.The non-pro� t organization works

entirely off of donations, grants and reg-istration to cover their operating costs and this year is no different.

However they’re not asking for mon-ey outright from the town; they’re look-ing for Overwaitea points.

The points will go towards a raf� e which will fundraise for the group, ac-

cording to a letter from their executive.They’re asking that anyone who

wishes to donate some of their grocery points can do so by completing a points transferal form available from kitimat-minorhockey.com, and handing that completed form to 28 Bayer Street, or mailing it to KMHA, Po Box 84, Kiti-mat, BC, V8C2G7, or even faxing it to 250-632-4646.

The goal of KMHA is to collect

enough points for two free airline tick-ets with HawkAir. Two tickets works out to about 200,000 points, and they’ve already received a generous donation of 10,000, adding up to 15,000 total.

Their goal is to have enough points by December but will be collecting points until February next year.

Any more information can be found by e-mailing [email protected].

Points for DemonsContributed

The Kitimat Ice Demons picked up four points on the road recently, with a roughhouse win 10-4 Satur-day Nov. 17 over the rambunctious Omineca Ice and a competent 4-3 win Sunday afternoon, Nov. 18, against the Houston Luckies

On the Saturday night, the Om-ineca Ice fell behind 1-0 early in the � rst, when Jeremy Brady scored the � rst of a hat-trick 2:59 into the game, assisted by Terry Whelan and Josh Slanina. The assist was the � rst of a six point night for Whelan, three goals and three assists, as he � nally got the scoring monkey off his back. Omineca tied the game 1-1, just � ve minutes later on a goal by Braden Babcock, (Tyrone Turgeon, David Guden) also on a power play with Jeff Mildenberger off for hooking.

But that was the last bright spot of the night for the Ice as the rough play escalated and the Demons went on to score four more times in the � rst to take a 5-1 lead to the inter-mission.

David Guden took a two min-ute slashing penalty a minute later and Jeff Baker (David Venman, Ian Coleman) made Omineca pay. Jeremy Brady (Jeff Mildenberger, Terry Whelan) made it 3-1 about four minutes later, followed by Terry Whelan’s � rst of three at 17:11, un-assisted.

With 35 seconds left in the pe-riod, Whelan got his second (Dave Venman, Jon Aiken) again on the power play, with Tyler Turgeon off for a trip. The Ice were unable to connect on two late power plays in the � rst as Josh March took two for a high stick and David Venman sat for roughing.

The Demons picked up the pace with another � ve straight goals in the second period, with Derek De-Lisser (Steve Venman, Josh Slanina) starting the parade at 5:39, another power-play goal with Nathan Silver-Vickers in the box for slashing. Ter-ry Whelan added a power-play goal at 9:47 (Jon Aiken, Dave Venman) with Montana Turgeon penalized for slashing and two minutes later

Josh Slanina (Brandon Wakita, Jeff Mildenberger) made it 9-1 with Ice captain, Phil Simoes, in the box for tripping.

Jeremy Brady scored his third at 15:36 (Derek Wakita, Brandon Bye) and Jeff Mildenberger � nished the � ve-goal run with 1:37 left, with Si-moes serving a two minute penalty for goaltender Nathan Vandelaar for delay of the game. Assists on the Mildenberger goal went to Jon Ai-ken and David Venman.

Travis Champion and William DeJong had engaged in a rough-house with 3:53 remaining and both got two for roughing and 10 minute misconducts as the rough stuff just kept going.

With the 10-1 lead, the Ice De-mons did not score again in the game, but clearly decided enough was enough – although the rough play was going both ways. Four minutes into the third Jordan Gon-calves earned a roughing penalty, which led to a power play goal at 4.19 by Matthew Stang (Braden Babcock, Dustin Erickson). John Allessandrini got the score to 10-3 and with 3:31 remaining and Jordan Goncalves serving two for roughing. With about eight minutes left Jon Aiken and Michael Simoes roughed it up for two and a 10 minute mis-conduct each. In all the Ice took 70 minutes in penalties, and Kalen Bird was tossed for � ghting after being hooked by Derek Wakita who didn’t drop his gloves but got a seat for two minutes at the 6.41 mark of the pe-riod.

That was the last of the scor-ing but the whacking and slashing continued with Steve Venman get-ting two for a slash and Jordan Gon-calves two more for interference.

On Sunday the Demons found the Houston Luckies more prepared to play hockey than Omenica and, with Tommy Mildenberger in net, took a tied game 1-1 into the � rst intermission with goals for Houston by

Jaden Janzen, who put the Luck-ies in the lead at the 13:15 mark of the period, assisted by Alonzo

Slaney and Curtis Hendrickson. But the Demons answered that goal with one of their own at 18:50 when the Demons penalty killers had a short-handed goal by Jeff Mildenberger, (Terry Whel-an) with Jordan Goncalves in the box for hooking.

Although shots in the period were 12-12, Demons were shorthanded twice in the � rst pe-riod, and then took the next three penalties in the second period. The penalties included two and a game for Kyle Boudreault for a hit from behind just three minutes in. That penalty however came just 90 seconds after Josh Slanina had given the Ice Demons a 2-1 lead inside two minutes, scor-ing on goaltender Brock Henricksen. At 1:20 on a passing play that saw assists go to both Venman brothers, David and Steven.

Ian Coleman made it 3-1 at 13:18 of the second period, from Brandon Wakita and Jeff Mildenberger, again short-handed, but, with just four seconds left in the period, Alonzo Slaney got one back (unassisted) to make the score 3-2 at the second intermission.

Shots in the period were again very close, with Demons out-shooting the Luckies 12-10 and the teams taking taking two minors each.

The third period was more of the same with the teams exchanging goals with Slanina scoring for the visitors in the second minute, assisted by Derek DeLisser and William DeJong, while Blair Dinelle (Jaden Janzen) kept the Luckies close, with a goal at 8:19. Each team killed off two mi-nors and the shot count favoured the Luckies 12-

11, but Tommy Mildenberger remained stingy. Luckies pulled Henricksen in the � nal minute but could not beat Mildenberger.

The two wins gave the Ice Demons an 11 point lead in the Western Division as the Terrace River Kings couldn’t get the job done in Smithers against the Steelheads as they lost 7-2 Saturday and the Prince Rupert Rampage, were unable to take any points out of two games on the road, los-ing 4-3 Saturday night to Houston and then falling behind 5-0 to � nally lose 6-1 to the Steelheads in Smithers on Sunday.

Steelheads remained four points ahead of the Ice Demons in � rst place in the Central Division and the League with 20 points.
