Food Bank moving outCameron Orr

The Kitimat Food Bank, which has been in the City Centre Mall for � ve years, will have to � nd a new home as early as the end of January.

The lease they hold with the mall is not being renewed, so as of January 31 — or later if they can arrange a month-to-month lease — they’ll have to either be in a new home, or Kitimat may see a temporary hiatus of a crucial community pro-gram.

Food Bank President Marjorie Phelps said they want the word out that they’re looking for a new home.

The Food Bank does have a preference check-list for potential new homes, which includes being on a transit route and in an affordable spot.

So the Service Centre, with no bus access, couldn’t work for them.

“It should be fairly central because our clients have to use public transit or walk or bum a ride from someone,” said Food Bank Vice-President Bill Willis.

But he doesn’t intend to leave their current lo-cation on a sour note with the mall owner.

“This place, we’re really, really grateful for getting this place at the price,” he said. “It was a lifesaver for us because we were in Nechako Centre...the only reason it wasn’t condemned is because we were still there.”

Phelps said that depending on what location they eventually � nd, they may go to the communi-ty — either to the District, from which they don’t receive money from now, or other donors — for a boost to help them afford Kitimat’s new rent.

“We know the rent’s going to be high because of the economy right now,” she said. “Maybe there is someone in town who can help us out.”

They’ll be crossing their � ngers they can � nd a place with enough space. Right now they have a number of refrigerators and freezers, in addi-tion to the fully stocked shelves of non-perishable food.

They also use their location for initial stock-piling for the Christmas Hamper program.

“I supposed we could do with a little bit less, but not much,” said Phelp.

But no one really believes the Food Bank will have to close its doors, even though it’s a possibil-ity on a short term basis.

“We’re doing everything we can possibly think of to keep ourselves in business,” said Wil-lis.

We reached out to City Centre Mall owner Jerry Minni on this subject, but he said it’s a mat-ter between landlord and tenant and wouldn’t comment.

Landfill won’t get Tuesday openingCameron Orr

The Kitimat Land� ll won’t be getting its Tues-day opening after all.

Councillors were fairly split, but not enough to provide the majority to give direction for it to open.

A staff report from the District to councillors recommended not changing their hours of opera-tion, following a motion from Phil Germuth on Oc-tober 7 to re-open the land� ll Tuesdays, as well as reviewing its hours of operation.

The report, including a nine-point list of thoughts, was compiled with input from the land-� ll operator.

That list included thoughts such as a $1,000 a day increase for being open on Tuesdays, overtime costs, and an impression that the demand is not great enough to warrant another day open.

Also, a $25 after-hours fee is available to people who need it, but the report says that since the introduction of that fee calls for after-hours service ceased, “suggesting it was a matter of planning more than necessity to deliver outside the usual hours.”

However the list of reasons not to open an extra day of the week didn’t sway Germuth, who felt they didn’t provide a com-pelling argument.

He said it looked to him more like a list of ev-ery excuse to say no.

For starters he took issue with point one which basically stated how the land� ll has been closed on Tuesdays since 1993.

“This isn’t 1993 anymore, this is arguably Kit-imat’s busiest time in history,” he said.

He also countered the claim it would cost $1,000 a day to open Tuesdays, saying any reason-able business owner would hire someone to work those days, rather than paying overtime.

Instead of a 30 per cent increase in cost, he said in reality it’d be more manageable, at around 5.7 per cent.

As for the after-hours $25 fee, Germuth said that from the contractors he had spoken to, few were aware such a service was even offered.

Joining his argument was Corinne Scott, who said that six of the nine points on administration’s report did not make much sense.

And while some believed that the current land� ll contract, only now in its fourth month, shouldn’t be tampered with, Scott didn’t want to wait.

Case files routinely up from 2012Common assaults notably up, 69 more cases this year than last year

While Staff Sergeant Phil Harrison tempered the “bad” news on this month’s crime statistics noting that calls for ser-vice was relatively quite low for Septem-ber — at 335 calls — he was open that in many categories the amount of � les now beats the number of � les they had at this time in 2012.

Sexual assaults now beat 2012’s total � les of 12, with 13 this year after three new � les in September.

There were no aggravated assaults, but the three total for the year still ex-ceed’s 2012’s single � le.

Assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm saw � ve cases opened in September, now bringing to even this year and last year’s total of 24 � les.

Common assaults meanwhile remain way up from last year. After 24 � les opened in September the year so far has seen 165 cases. In 2012 there were 96.

One robbery in the month brought

2013’s total to six cases. There were two in 2012.

This year there have been 19 crimi-nal harassment � les, four from Septem-ber. There were 17 in 2012.

There were no business break and en-ters, but the year total is still 16, against 2012’s eight.

There was one residential break and enter, meaning eight more cases this year than 2012’s 30.

Three vehicle thefts were reported, bringing the year total to 34. There were 14 in 2012.

Nineteen � les were opened for mis-chief to property under or over $5,000. There were actually more reported in September of last year, 24, but 2013’s to-tal of 195 still beats 2012’s 160.

Remarkably, drug offence � les are down, or at least are not up in any signi� -cant fashion.

One cocaine possession brought this year’s total � les to seven, one less than

2012’s total.There was also one marijuana pos-

session case opened, but there’s been only 19 this year, compared to 28 in 2012.

There have been no other “other drugs” possessions this year.

There were no traf� cking offences in September either, but there have been six cocaine traf� cking � les this year in total, which is up two from 2012’s four.

As Harrison gave his report to coun-cillors, Rob Gof� net inquired why shop-lifting � les were so low (three in total for the year, none in September) and Harri-son suggested it was because businesses much of the time won’t want to pursue charges that might not go very far in the system.

Meanwhile on the vehicle thefts, he said the RCMP were aware that the ma-jority of the cases were the work of about half a dozen people, and the police have taken steps to stop any further activity.

“Aluminum in� nitely recyclable”

READ ANDRECYCLE

The West Fras‑er Timber Company has decided, due to the mountain pine beetle infestation in the B.C. interior, to shut down its Houston mill before summer 2014.

The Mountain Pine Beetle Plan, released last Thur‑day on the WFTC website, covers how the company plans to remain vi‑able in the wake of the pine beetle dec‑imating available timber, the release stated.

“The three‑part MPB Plan consists of the exchange of certain timber rights which will help maintain the compet i t iveness and viability of sev‑eral of West Fraser’s B.C. interior mills,” read the WFTC re‑lease. “The closure of West Fraser’s Houston, B.C. mill and the announce‑ment of significant investments in two major mill upgrades in Smithers and 100 Mile House, B.C.”

“Closure of the mill will be com‑pleted in the second quarter of 2014 and will affect 225 em‑ployees,” stated the release. “Where possible, the Com‑pany will be assist‑ing employees to transition to other West Fraser opera‑tions in B.C. and Alberta.”

WFTC has been harvesting pine beetle killed lumber for more than a decade and will continue to do so according to the release, but the The MPB Plan, which consists of three parts: “secur‑ing an improved long‑term timber supply, the perma‑nent closure of one of the company’s B.C. mills and a capital investment plan to strengthen operations in the province,” has been chosen by the com‑pany as the best way forward.

Business recognition awardsMembers on the Advisory

Planning Commission (APC) took a walk through town recently for the annual Business Recognition Tour.

They set about grading busi‑nesses and industry to figure out the town’s winners this year.

City Centre and Service Centre were split into two separate award categories for the judging. Judges looked for a neat and tidy appear‑ance, building design and finishes, signage, display window, landscap‑ing, garbage storage, a visible ad‑

dress and the overall appearance.In the City Centre, Dairy Queen

earned the overall win, as well as took the Most Improved award. Honourable mentions went to Tim Hortons, Subway, Envision Finan‑cial and A&W.

In the Service Centre, Lapointe Engineering took the overall win. Two businesses shared in the most improved category; Chevron Card‑lock and Technicon.

The honourable mentions went to 101 Industries, Kildala Grocery, Kitimat Lodge and Pyrotech.

Seeking decriminalizationCameron Orr

Canvassers for the Sensible BC campaign to decriminalize mari‑juana have to Decem‑ber 5 to get hundreds of thousands of signatures to spark a referendum vote.

In the Kitimat area, and surrounding elec‑toral district, Zachary Canuel is the district coordinator, a Kitimat‑raised young man who has seen the trouble criminalized marijuana can bring.

He said six years ago when he was 18, he was detained by police on suspicion of mari‑juana possession — no criminal charges fol‑lowed — but that mo‑ment is what brought him out to fight for marijuana decriminal‑ization today.

But one thing he wants people to know is the campaign isn’t about giving the people the ability to just get high.

“A lot of people don’t realize it has nothing to do with get‑ting high, it’s about the fact that our expendi‑tures in law enforce‑ment have achieved nothing. Drugs are stronger, more acces‑sible, cheaper than they’ve ever been,” he said.

And it’s not a path to free access to mari‑

juana either. He said it needs to be sold care‑fully, such as liquor in designated liquor stores, and regulated similarly.

In fact alcohol it‑self is not even as safe as marijuana, he says.

“Alcohol is more dangerous than most of the illicit drugs that are out there.”

Kitimat, as well as Terrace and Smithers, has been a receptive community to the cam‑paign, he said.

There’s only the occasional scowled face from people who pass by.

“It’s easy to shrug those people off when pretty much 90 per cent of the people I see are very supportive,” he said.

With a need for 15 per cent of the sig‑natures of registered voters, he said they’re looking to gather 3,090 names in the Skeena riding.

P r o v i n c e ‑ w i d e most campaigners are behind in hitting their milestones, while Canuel said he’s about half‑way there locally.

“Being a little bit behind on the first half of the campaign, we’ve got to get things in gear,” he said. “I’m sure the Skeena area is doing a lot better than certain other parts of the province. I’m not too worried about our area.”

At the campaign’s 30‑day mark, Sen‑sible BC spokesman Dana Larsen said the

campaign had 65,000 signatures as of Oct. 9 – 15,000 less than their aim of 80,000 by the 30‑day mark of the 90‑day petition drive.

“We’re a little bit behind the target we set,” Larsen said, add‑ing getting canvassers officially registered has proven more onerous than expected.

Kitimat’s #1 News Source

I would have loved to fol-low up this week on my previous columns on the odious Senate ex-penses scandals and the conten-tious dog and cat � ghts going on in the House of Commons question period and in the Senate itself, as the three Stephen Harper appoin-tees (Mike Duffy, Pam Wallin and Patrick Brazeau) vigorously de-fend themselves against a possible government-driven expulsion from the Senate (without pay and bene� ts). But clearly this is a barn burner still in the skirmish phases

Writing on Thursday for a Friday deadline, it’s evident there will be so many turn-overs, bad decisions, ac-cusations and contradictions between now and next Wednesday that I could expect to be ridiculously out of date even by midnight tonight (Friday) so that’s a non-starter.

This past week has has seen some pretty good soap opera scenarios in Ot-tawa and I stayed tuned to CBC-TV every day as the chief players, Duffy and Wallin, went into their cornered raccoon acts, forcing Prime Minister Stephen Harper to get a little down and dirty himself. It’s fascinating but fast moving.

And, really, while nobody knows the whole truth of the matter yet, it’s safe to say Mike Duffy was right on

about one thing at least when he said the Senate needs TV, as he left the Par-liament Hill battleground. So while it could be that round three or four will end by publication day, I’m sure this is going to be a 10-rounder before it winds up in court.

So on to pipelines versus rail-way lines. The rhetoric is piling up thick and fast but so are the incidents that must simply fry the minds of the oil � elds companies. The two major explosive derailments - Lac Megan-tic and Gainford, Alberta - have also been absolute worst-case scenarios for railway carriers and their much bally-hooed stance that a “pipeline on rails” was an example of thinking outside the box and one that could compete with pipelines.

Using the rails was supposed to offer three advantages: to help speed up the progress and effectively lower overall costs for oil shipments from the west coast to Asia, eliminate a lot

of the perceived spill risks of an un-derground pipeline across northern B.C. and to allow Canada to get out of the Keystone and Gateway pipe-line bottlenecks that have frustrated the industry by forcing it to sell oil at hugely discounted prices into a satis-� ed U.S. market.

This is seen as costing Canada millions of dollars annually.

Last week’s throne speech an-nouncements that Ottawa plans to both tighten safety standards for railway shipping companies or those operat-ing offshore, or running pipelines and obviously increased liability insurance can only drive up the cost of moving oil by rail. The government simply could not ignore a need to step up the safety elements of hazardous goods transpor-tation. The recent incidents have not yet given pause to the rapid increases in the volume of shipments of oil by rail, up incrementally in the past three years, while pipelines have been under the gun.

Last month environmental activists for Greenpeace said documents in their possession showed CN Rail, pushed by Chinese-owned Nexen Inc., is con-sidering shipping Alberta bitumen to Prince Rupert, B.C., by rail in quanti-ties matching the controversial North-ern Gateway pipeline.

Rhetoric piling up on oil by rail

Putting the ‘health’ in health care service

Business recognition

Health care is on my mind this week.Partially that’s because I’ve spent the week

physically feeling like I’ve been run into a rock wall by one of Wil-E-Coyote’s eternally defective Acme Roadrunner traps.

But it’s also because the whole debate about health care workers being required to get the � u shot is in the news again.

The introduction on the policy, where people in the health care � eld would either need to get immu-nized or wear a mask during the � u season, was ob-jected to by the health care unions.

But a labour arbitrator rejected those objections.As Black Press provincial reporter Tom Fletcher

wrote in his report on this, the Health Sciences As-sociation, a union representing lab techs and other specialists in the health care system, had argued that its members were entitled to make their own decision on whether to get the annual vaccine.

The report continues, arbitrator Robert Diebolt wrote that given the seriousness of in� uenza, a se-vere respiratory condition that causes death in frail elderly people each winter, increasing immunization protection is a reasonable policy for health care fa-cilities.

I’m quite happy that this decision has come down. I thought when this whole issue erupted that it was quite silly.

I won’t pretend I like needles but if my job in-volved caring for people who are sick, it seems fair that immunization would be a part of the work.

It protects the health care worker from the � u, and protects their patients.

If I were a patient I’d certainly want to know my health care worker took reasonable steps not to be infectious.

The union may say getting a � u shot is a per-sonal health decision, but it’s really not when you’re responsible for other people’s health.

Cameron Orr

I’m not saying the results are wrong, because I think they did pick out the nicest looking places in town, but with this year’s business recognition awards, I couldn’t help but notice all but one of the City Centre businesses on the awards and honourable mentions list were for fast food places.

Dairy Queen won overall and most improved, certainly for their recent renovations, and Tim Hor-tons, Subway, and A&W all made the list.

Envision Financial was the only other business on the list.

It’s just a good reminder that local businesses should take care that they’re looking out for the look of the town, and not just leave it to fast food.

Working together bringing the news to you.

by Allan Hewitson

UnderMiscellaneous

Toshimitsu Motegi is not a happy camper these days.

Neither is Veerappa Moily.The Japanese minister of

Economy, Trade and Industry and the Indian Energy minister respec-tively, they and their governments are ticked off by the price they are having to pay for their LNG (liq-ue� ed natural gas) imports.

And they forcefully expressed their displeasure at an LNG pro-ducer-consumer conference held in Tokyo early August.

What’s driving them really crazy is they are having to cough up around $16 per million British Thermal Units (mmbtu) while nat-ural gas is freely available in the United States at dirt cheap prices - around $3.70/mmbtu at Henry Hub at the time of writing.

(By the way, Canadian natural gas is even cheaper.)

The problem of course is that Asian LNG prices are tradition-ally linked to the price of oil via an index with the wonderful name

Japanese Crude Cocktail.The buyers argue that with

North American prices where they are and a lot more LNG produc-tion expected to come on line around the world in the coming years, it is time to de-link from oil and establish a global commodity market for LNG.

They’ve sung this song be-fore, of course.

But what was new this time is Japan and India have agreed to form a buyers group - which other Asian countries are encouraged to join - with the goal of bringing pressure to bear on suppliers and ending what they call “the Asian premium”.

And they point to the fact that

some Asian buyers have already signed long term contracts with US pro-ducers-to-be based on Henry Hub prices.

One such US out� t is Freeport LNG which announced last month it had signed 20-year deals

with Toshiba of Japan and SK of South Korea at a price of Henry Hub plus $7/mmbtu.

In other words, based on to-day’s Hub price and rounding up, only $11/mmbtu.

(Henry Hub is a major distri-bution point in Louisiana and its name is applied to natural gas fu-tures contracts.)

However, producers both existing and proposed are unim-pressed.

Qatar is the largest producer of LNG in the world and supplies both Asian and European cus-tomers.

At that same confer-

ence its oil minister, Mohammad Bin Saleh al-Sada, essentially said what is happening to prices in a “remote market” (read North America) was irrelevant to the Asian market.

In other words Qatar is not likely to buckle to pressure any time soon.

Appearing just as unyielding is Chevron, the lead partner in the proposed Kitimat LNG project.

In a conference call to an-nounce the company’s second quarter results, CEO George Kirk-land left no doubt: “We do not plan to have Henry Hub linkage.”

This was consistent with the company’s oft-repeated position that it needed oil-indexed prices to justify spending billions of dollars

to build the Kitimat LNG plant and pipeline to supply it.

But he also threw out an in-teresting idea: if Asian customers bought equity in the project, in the long term they might do as well, if not better, than Henry Hub-based contracts.

Basically his argument is that if a customer buys into the proj-ect, what they lose on the swings (oil-indexed prices) they gain on the roundabouts (a share of the revenues from the project).

And they get a guaranteed price whereas the cost of contracts tied to Henry Hub will likely in-crease over time, thus eroding any supposed bene� t.

It will be fascinating to see how this plays out.

Energy prices making for interesting debates

Dear Sir,“The cleanest

LNG in the world,” and “100,000 new jobs,” are among the many prom-ises being made by government and indus-try about the bene� ts of LNG development. There is strong support for LNG development from First Nations, who are determined to ad-dress the chronic issues of poverty in their com-munities. There is also support from folks who are simply trying to get by.

And there is op-position: from First Nations who have re-fused permission for pipelines to cross their lands, to folks who don’t want to see this region transformed into a Fort McMurray.

While our region has seen dozens of de-

velopments proposed, and subsequently abandoned over many decades, we’ve never faced a push for major resource development that is so complex and challenging to under-stand as LNG.

We live here be-cause we were born here, or chose to be here but the economic issues we’ve faced regionally, as smelter jobs disap-peared and the forest industry nosedived, are real. So we need to � g-ure this LNG thing out.

We know there are questions about LNG that aren’t being asked or answered, and both supporters and oppo-nents are troubled about its sheer pace and scale.

There are serious questions about air quality, increases in tanker traf� c, First Na-

tion’s rights and title is-sues, and social issues. Health care experts and frontline workers are already worried about rapidly increasing so-cial problems. These are issues that need to be addressed.

We need to talk about how much devel-opment is enough.

Many residents are asking these questions. We don’t presume to know all the answers to these questions, but we are going to try hard to present factual and un-biased information.

If we fail to be fair and balanced in pre-senting information - we expect to be held to account.

We know most people’s value systems extend beyond just money. Politicians and industry have not pre-

sented a balanced approach to these issues, so we, as citizens, need to do this on our own. It’s our right, and our responsibility.

Continued from page 4Greenpeace, according to the

Canadian Press, claimed internal memos obtained by them under the Access to Information Act show CN raised the proposal in the spring with Natural Resources Canada to transport oil to Prince Rupert, ac-cording to departmental brie� ng notes setting up a March meeting.

An attached CN presentation paper notes that “CN has ample ca-pacity to run seven trains per day to match Gateway’s proposed capac-ity.”

Railways, according to CN’s

Mark Hallman, as quoted in the Sentinel last week, have a solid re-cord of delivering 99.997 per cent of hazardous materials safely.

But B.C. Minister of Natural Gas Development, is also quoted as stating oil by rail is not the Prov-ince’s preferred shipping methods.

However this sounds a whole lot like the ongoing oil and LNG development “waltz” that has been going on in B.C. for the past de-cade.

One step forward, one step back, one step to the side, and change partners.

Weather keeps GasLink reps away, but make it to TerraceJosh Massey

While TransCana-da representatives were meant to be in Kitimat on October 21, foggy conditions meant they couldn’t land.

Those people did eventually make it to Terrace a day later to host a meeting there and meet with their councillors.

Terrace Council heard from Joe Zhou, project manager for the proposed Coastal GasLink Pipeline, a subsidiary company of TransCanada that is proposing a 650-kilo-metre pipeline to carry natural gas to an LNG processing facility in Kitimat.

Zhou said that con-struction crews would be in and out of the Terrace area over three years sometime within the planned 2015 to 2020 construction pe-riod.

Zhou said there will be 2,000 seasonal construction jobs for the entire pipeline that passes north of Prince George, crosses High-way 16 near Fraser Lake on its way to a Shell majority-owned processing facility proposed for Kitimat called LNG Canada.

Camps will be lo-cated close to the right-of-way and will have anywhere from 50 to 1,500 hundred workers in them, said Zhou. The closest the pipeline will come to Terrace is 50 kilometres.

He said the impact on local infrastructure of this particular proj-ect would be minimal, however he said he could not speak for other projects and the impact they might have on top of this.

“We might place some stress on the in-frastructure on roads to get to the sites,” said

Zhou, but stressed that TransCanada’s goal is “to be self-sufficient in-stead of relying on the community to house workers.”

Several of Terrace’s council members want-

ed more of a commit-ment of support for a bid to forge a revenue-sharing agreement with the federal government.

Councillor James Cordeiro said munici-palities have been “lob-

bying to have a revenue sharing regime put in place similar to other areas in the province, and I know that one of the things that council has been hoping for is not only the support

from our communities, which I think we have, but also the companies coming in to do these projects ...”

“Our communities are already facing these stresses,” councillor

Stacey Tyers told Zhou, citing the Kitimat Mod-ernization Project and Northwest Transmis-sion Line as drivers of high housing costs.

Zhou said Coastal Gas Link hopes to sub-

mit their application for an environmental as-sessment in early 2014, and will be back in Ter-race for the public con-sultation process, that is part of the assessment, next spring.

Tattoo parlour gets zoning

CN CFO downplays oil by rail plans

Cameron OrrCouncillors unanimously approved a rezon-

ing application which will allow a tattoo parlour — which currently is a home-based business — into Nechako Centre.

Numerous letters came in regarding the ap-plication, all in favour of the business, with some making comments to how the business should be visible to the public, namely the activities should be kept discreet from potential children walking by.

Such practices have been promised by busi-ness operator Claire Rattee, who presented to councillors at an earlier council meeting.

In making the motion, Mario Feldhoff amended staff’s own recommendation to adopt the zoning, rather than going only as far as third reading.

“We don’t need to drag this out any longer,” he said.

Rob Goffinet said before the vote that it is understood by all that it will be a “well situated” and “discreetly laid out parlour,” to alleviate the concerns from the letters.

Deputy Chief Administrative Officer War-ren Waycheshen read out seven submissions that were received through the public comment.

As for the nuts and bolts of the “Personal Ser-vice Shops” bylaw, such a business is defined as “where the sale of retail goods is only accessory to the provision of services related to the care and appearance of the body or the cleaning and repair of personal affects.”

By passing this bylaw, Personal Service Shops are now a permitted land use in C2 com-mercial zones.

Shaun ThomasOil-by-rail won’t be happening any time soon,

according to the chief financial officer of CN Rail.Luc Jobin, who is CFO and executive vice-

president, made the comments after being asked about shipping crude to a B.C. port for export during the company’s Oct. 22 earnings call.

“There’s no project. There’s no infrastructure on the Canadian west coast to receive crude by rail. There is no project proponent. There’s really no support,” he said.

“I don’t think it’s in a kind of a near-term type of potential.”

However, CN CEO Claude Mongeau said oil-by-rail is a viable alternative and a part of CN’s business.

“We move more than 99.997 per cent of dan-gerous goods to market without incidents and we have to keep getting better. And if we do, I believe we are a viable alternative to move all the energy projects — products, including crude,” he said, noting both heavy and light crude is currently be-ing moved.

“We believe this is there to stay with us, as long as we continue to operate a safe railroad, which we are committed to do.”

Mountain biking trailblazingCameron Orr

This is Nik Berndt’s last stand to get a mountain biking and hiking trail system built in the area. He gathered potential supporters for a meeting on October 20, and is trying to organize the movement into a non-pro� t organization. Right now they just go by the name Kitimat Trail-builders and can be found on Facebook.

“What we’re trying to do now as a group we’re trying to come up with a name to go ahead with this non-pro� t so-ciety,” said Berndt.

If they can get the society estab-lished, they can begin applying for grants to build the trail systems he hopes to see.

It’s Berndt’s second time trying to get a society like this established. He said several years ago he tried and approached the city but he felt he was effectively brushed off.

But today he has a solid community support and people are pitching in to get this idea off the ground.

His interest in mountain biking be-gan with races he did when he was in grade 8. Today, he thinks mountain bik-ing is a good alternative to kids hanging out at the skate park exclusively. From his own days as a student he said he knows there can be bad things passed around in those groups.

And with the town getting busier, he’s worried it’ll just get worse.

“There’s a lot more harsher things now coming in to town than when I was a kid, at least from what I’ve noticed,” he said.

And the Riverlodge doesn’t always provide relevant, modern programming, he added.

“I haven’t seen any mountain biking stuff,” he said.

But Kitimat isn’t, so far, ideally set up for mountain biking anyway.

“I wish Kitimat had something better. A lot of the trails around here are not le-gitimate, they’re actually illegal because

they’re on private property.”He said he has gotten permission

from some landowners to use trails on their property but it’s always an imperfect solution.

“We’re trying to make everything le-gitimate, get everything going.”

So far he said he does have the sup-port of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. He also has told supporters than there’s a good chance if trails start getting built, a bike shop could easily follow, either run by him or a collaboration of people.

Between working six days a week and on his way to buying a house, Ber-ndt is burning the candle from both ends getting this organized, but he’s hopeful to see things taking shape early next year.

“I’m aiming to have everything ready to go and we can start put-ting shovels in the ground by the time the snow’s gone in the spring,” he said.

Continued from page 1“Because it is a

contract that is for � ve more years…to wait another � ve years would be wrong,” she said.

Mary Murphy meanwhile said that with a contract just re-cently entered into, as well as no actual com-plaints or concerns from the contractor, there’s no reason coun-cil should be worrying about this.

“I’m opposed to changing the contract as it stands now un-til the term is up,” she said.

When the vote was called Edwin Em-pinado, Corinne Scott and Phil Germuth were the three votes against maintaining the current schedule.

Landfill Demon’s blankedSubmitted

The Demons were still on the road last weekend in Terrace and Prince Rupert, looking to regain momentum after two losses the weekend before.

The Kitimat Ice Demons dropped both of their � rst double-header week-end games on the road, getting blanked 4-0 on October 19 night by a stingy Houston Luckies defence and hot goaltender, Colton Wardrop, and then the Demons were unable to sustain a third period comeback to tie the game, getting edged 4-3 in a penalty � lled affair with the Steelheads October 20 at Smithers.

The Houston Luckies came out strong to score one in the � rst period.Meanwhile the Ice Demons, prominently missing defensive stalwart Jeff Mildenberger, who did not make the trip, had weary bus legs and were not at their best in the early going and into the second period of this game.

Meanwhile the Ice Demons moved in looking for some better luck in goal-scoring at Smithers, but fell behind 2-1 early in the second period after each team recorded a goal in the � rst.

In other games that past weekend the Prince Rupert Rampage came up with their � rst win, dropping the Terrace River Kings 3-2 in Terrace while the Williams Lake Stampeders split two games the Stamps winning Friday night by a score of 6-4 and Quesnel took the close Saturday game 5-4.
