PTI plan gets rubber stamp
By a wide margin, Kitimat Council has ap-proved zoning changes that will allow the PTI Group to build their proposed work lodge.
With one councillor absent, Corinne Scott, the vote passed in favour 5-1, with Phil Germuth the sole remaining opponent to the changes.
Mayor Joanne Monaghan said that her phone lit up in the days following from prospective busi-nesses, who had been hesitant to commit to Kiti-mat before knowing whether PTI Group would get a pass. She didn’t disclose what those busi-nesses were.
Monaghan also said she was sure that PTI Group would have set up quickly in Terrace if Kitimat rejected the plan, and believed they would have done so in a more streamlined manner than was done in town. She had heard unof� cially that Terrace would have accepted PTI with “open arms,” she said.
She outlined the various bene� ts the project would have to the community, including easing the housing market, the approximately 200 local jobs, and the millions of dollars of infrastructure it would leave behind.

Final hearings being held in TerraceJosh Massey
Anti-pipeline activists will be on guard outside the � nal public hearings for the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Project, scheduled for June 17 in Terrace.
Protesters are coming in from as far as Vancouver and Prince George to demonstrate outside the Best Western on Greig Ave. where the hearings are taking place, while inside the hotel lawyers from the province will present the B.C. govern-ment’s “no” decision on the project in its current form.
Among the other 34 individuals and groups presenting for or against the project include nine First Nations, Skeena-Bulk-ley Valley MP Nathan Cullen and the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce.
Enbridge is the � rst up and has two hours to present their � nal argument. The other presenters have an hour each, which means the hearings could last well over a week, according to National Energy Board spokesperson Kristen Higgens.

Continued from page 1Traffic was a major public concern,
and according to the staff report, PTI will rely primarily on shuttles to move its guests, but PTI will pave Loganberry Street. No other traffic management measures are being considered by PTI at the moment, but the District say they will monitor traffic complaints.
A tree buffer will be in place to shield the facility from nearby residents.
Explaining his opposition to adopt-ing the bylaw, Phil Germuth said that it’s not any problem he has with the PTI company or necessarily with work camps in a town, but rather his ongoing concerns with how the town’s admin-istration, and council, has handled the entire procedure.
“I was more voting against it be-cause of the process we used,” he said.
Namely there are questions he didn’t feel were adequately answered ahead of adoption, including possible traffic problems.
He’d rather studies be done now and not wait for a problem, he said.
He also wished residents were more included in the process from the outset.
The stipulation that at least 80 per cent of the beds have to be used for workers is also an area he felt could have been fine tuned, and by that he means including language that prevent-ed people from living there on a perma-nent basis.
“I don’t want Kitimat to be a fly in-fly out, a work community for the work-ers,” he said.
He understands the needs for con-struction workers but he would have rather had language that prevented peo-ple from staying in the lodge involved in the operation, rather the construction, of Kitimat’s proposed projects.
“Being on council is a learning process, and next time if anything like this comes up I’ll definitely be speak-ing out earlier to try to get council more involved in the process and try to make
sure we try to do a better job as the Dis-trict of Kitimat of consulting with peo-ple who might be affected by a certain project.”
Changes to Kitimat’s Official Com-munity Plan also had him concerned, saying the changes, which he said will allow the town to entertain work camp applications in Imatra Heights and the Haisla Hill area in addition to Straw-berry Meadows, shouldn’t have been made.
“My concern is we haven’t even fig-ured out what the effects of one camp might be, yet here we are putting the possibility of three of them in there,” he said.
He would have rather the town ap-proach each possible proposal, if there are more, individually, rather than changing the wording to say they could be open to more such developments.
PTI Group was sought for comment on the approval however no one could be reached by press deadline.
PTI approved

Cameron OrrAs long as the powers that be
agree, motorcycle law activist De-nise Lodge will join Kitimat coun-cillors at the upcoming September Union of B.C. Municipalities con-ference in Vancouver.
Denise Lodge submitted a let-ter to council on May 21, asking for support from them to encourage the government to establish graduated learning program for motorcycles, as well as implement power restric-tions.
Through her letter, she said the program is almost ready to go, but just needs a solicitor general or the minister of justice and attorney general to back the plan.
She had expected the programs to have already been put into place, however it has been delayed at the provin-cial level.
In a letter from the superintendent of motor vehicles to Lodge, he writes that “after further analysis, we have found that the nature of these changes will require significant changes to technology and busi-ness processes, which in turn will impact implementation time.”
That said, the writer, Steve Martin, does say that gradu-ated licencing and power restrictions on motorcycles do re-main a high priority for himself and the ministry.
Council at their June 3 meet-ing passed a resolution to request meetings with relevant ministries to discuss this issue, and to ask that Lodge be allowed to join.
While staff had recommended that a travel subsidy not be provid-ed to Lodge (as it would not meet established District policy), she did end up getting her request for assis-tance and will receive $500 to help her travel.
Lodge has been campaign-ing for more stringent motorcycle regulations ever since her son Co-rey died in a motorcycle accident in 2005.
Lodge said that inexperience combined with his purchase of a high powered bike contributed to the fatal accident.

It’s ‘Green’ BBQ and Picnic Season!
Now is the season to enjoy the outdoors. Here are some ‘green’ tips that can make your outdoor meals enjoyable knowing you’re protecting nature.
Use reusable dishes rather than plastics or styrofoam. If you absolutely must use disposables, pick up compostable varieties beforehand and put in the compost bin when you’re � nished.
Solar backpacks are great to take with you on picnics or day trips. Whether you’re at the beach or on the go you’ll be able to run and recharge a wide range of portable devices on solar energy.

Switching up the parking stalls
Council has directed staff to flip the taxi and handicap parking stalls in Mountainview Square.
Councillor Edwin Empinado, who is the town’s representative to the Advisory Commis-sion for Persons with Disabilities, moved for the change at the May 21 council meeting.
He had also initially presented a motion to resize the handicap parking stalls in front of the Super Valu store, but withdrew the motion on the grounds that work had already taken place.
In the case of Mountainview Square, two handicap parking stalls in front of the former Ed’s Bake Shop were to be repainted as taxi stalls, while the taxi stalls closer to Overwaitea would become the handicap stalls.
In Empinado’s background to his motion he said the taxi stalls as they were, were not heavily used, while the handicap parking stalls proved challenging for offloading people from vehicles.
His proposal would be safer, he said.He told councillors that input from taxi
companies was included at the commission and there were no concerns regarding the change.
The motion passed unanimously.

One of Premier Christy Clark’s � rst tasks of the new term will be to resume trade talks with Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Several daunting tasks await. Clark must repair relations with Alberta Premier Alison Redford after B.C.’s theatrics over oil pipelines before the election, and prepare for the results of a federal environmental review of the En-bridge Northern Gateway proposal in the fall.
Some people were surprised on Friday when the B.C. government re-leased its � nal written submission to the federal environmental review panel on Northern Gateway. It was widely interpreted as B.C.’s outright rejection of the project, but it’s not as simple as that.
Clark and B.C. Environment Min-ister Terry Lake signalled several times before the election that they were not getting the answers they wanted from Enbridge. But they stuck to the prin-ciple that the hearings must be com-pleted.
The NDP repeated for months that the B.C. Liberal government had for-feited its own review and handed juris-
diction over the environmental assess-ment to Ottawa. In fact, a pipeline that runs across two provinces is by de� -nition a matter of federal jurisdiction. B.C. could have held its own parallel set of hearings, which was the NDP’s stated preference, but in no circum-stance does the province have a veto. And both the B.C. Liberal government and Enbridge were careful to leave the door open for further talks.
A closer reading of their comments shows that the key difference at this stage is one of timing.
“The panel must determine if it is appropriate to grant a certi� cate for the project as currently proposed on the basis of a promise to do more study and planning after the certi� cate is grant-ed,” Lake said. “Our government does
not believe that a certi� cate should be granted before these important questions are answered.”
According to Enbridge execu-tive Janet Holder, those important questions can’t all be answered until the hearings are over. The company maintains that every riv-er crossing and spill response plan can’t be done in detail during the two-year hearings.B.C.’s � nal submission runs to
nearly 100 pages. It goes into de-tail on the inconsistencies and unan-swered questions on such vital topics as whether diluted bitumen can sink in water.
In short, the province argues that it can sink if the oil is in fresh water, or if it is exposed to weathering so lighter fractions evaporate, or if it is mixed with sediments that increase its den-sity.
These are pertinent conditions if heavy oil were to leak into a river in springtime, when water runs fast and cold and brown with sediment. Then there are the obstacles presented by responding to a spill in remote wilder-ness and heavy snow.

Northern Gateway is not dead
Do we need a little support from the top?
While no one from Kitimat was at the recent Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference in Vancouver — and that’s � ne, as best I can tell there wouldn’t have been a huge bene� t — out of the coverage I’ve seen on it suggests that infrastructure funding was among the top issues.
What I read — speci� cally from a June 2 article in The Globe and Mail — is that small towns are fac-ing greater � nancial scrutiny even as towns demand better infrastructure funding.
I didn’t see Kitimat’s name come up, but the discussion had me thinking about our own town and where we stand.
I kept thinking back to council’s discussions on their � ve-year � nancial plan and how they hacked away to prevent rises of eight per cent a year on our tax bills.
The money from those tax rises were set to go to things like road improvements and needed mainte-nance to Haisla Bridge, AKA our only river crossing.
So I wondered, in the context of the FCM con-ference, where Kitimat stood. Can we stand to trim back, or are we just not getting enough?
Well, it feels like the council is trimming the best they can. But even that is sometimes not enough.
To even out the proposed future tax increases staff had to assume new revenues from industrial projects.
Perhaps there’s more that can be done from the higher levels of government to give places like Kiti-mat a boost.
I’m hesitant to say we just need to be given more because I’m sure there are a lot of communities out there who could stand to have more, and everyone can’t have it all.
So I’d hate to say that Kitimat is a special case that just deserves more because we are who we are.
But we are who we are, a town at the frontier of B.C.’s energy hopes.
Perhaps B.C.’s municipal auditor can work with northern towns to crunch the numbers, and � gure out where infrastructure funding is needed most.
Maybe we’re actually better off than I think.But with a hotel complex proposed for up the
hill, and word that they’ll have to look at solutions to the town’s aging infrastructure, we’re seeing growth of which our current infrastructure is being chal-lenged.
I’m not suggesting anything is crumbling, but I just hope we’re not going to face down a huge bill to bring things up to modern standards, and potentially throttle developments and industry construction right off the bat.
If so, then we need the help.Cameron Orr

Working together bringing the news to you.
Darcie Reid and Dana Amado had just finished giving their spiel to some Radley Park campers about how to be bear aware when they took off around the corner to find some more camp-ers.
The occupant of the next camp site they found wouldn’t need any lecture on how bears behave: he was one.
A black bear was standing on a picnic table eating away at the remnants of the camp-ers’ crab.
Reid and Amado slowly backed away, but not before realizing that, yes, this is exactly what they’ve been talk-ing about.
“We actually had to use our skills that we preached to everyone else,” said Amado.
That was in 2012, and now for the sec-ond year in a row, the two are returned as the coordinators of the Dis-trict of Kitimat’s Bear Aware program.
The students’ ap-proach is to get people aware of all the bear attractants they might
leave lying around. Garbage put on the curb
the night before? That’s an attractant. Ripe fruit
on a tree? That’s an at-tractant.
They’ll be knock-ing on people’s doors and going to businesses making sure people know how to be bear aware.
They started this year in May, earlier than they did in 2012, and are finding that people’s habits are starting off worse than they did in 2012, when they first set up in June.
But they think people are just slowly starting to realize bear season is here,
With the season of bears now being real-ized, they hope people
will work better, and that includes the several businesses they’ve seen with dumpsters not properly secured.
They also plan to get into the schools be-fore they let out for the summer and speak di-rectly to kids.
The two can be reached with bear relat-ed questions by e-mail at [email protected], or by call-ing 250-639-6082.
They also have a Facebook page and can be found on the District of Kitimat’s webpage at www.kitimat.ca.

A new summer for Bear Aware
Conservation Officers give bear safety tipsConservation Officer
It is that time of year again; bears are coming out of their hibernation and some have already showed up in our communities.
Bears that are at-tracted into our com-munities and work camps by poor waste management quickly learn to associate peo-ple with food and lose their natural fear of hu-mans.
These habituated bears may cause un-expected and unsafe bear-human encoun-ters. They may turn over garbage cans and in some cases may violently protect gar-bage that they consider theirs. Habituated bears eventually end up be-ing shot by agencies whose responsibil-ity it is to maintain the public safety (like the Conservation Officer Service and RCMP). The Conservation Offi-cer Service advises the public to be bear-smart regarding anything that might attract bears dur-ing the spring, summer and fall.
If possible, place garbage bins in secure-ly locked buildings. Bring out garbage bins on garbage removal day only and rinse them after. Double bag smelly waste like fish offal and place it in the freezer until garbage
removal day. Feed your pets indoors or clean up any food your pet did not eat. Take bird seed feeders and bird suet down until winter arrives — birds do not need additional food during the spring, sum-mer and fall.
Clean your barbe-cue by turning up the heat and remove the grease trap after each use. Do not deposit smelly matters like egg shells, fish offal and cooked food in com-post piles, only deposit raw plant materials. When camping, store garbage, food, soap, detergent, tooth paste etc. out of reach from bears.
If confronted with a habituated bear, please dial the toll-free Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) line at 1-877-952-7277.
Anyone who re-peatedly leaves bear attractants out may be issued a Dangerous Wildlife Protection Order and a monetary fine. This is to protect
both fellow citizens and bears. Remember: a fed bear is a dead bear.
For further infor-mation to prevent and reduce bear-human conflicts, please visit the Bear Aware web-site at http://www.bear-aware.bc.ca.

Continued from page 4Given both provincial and
aboriginal opposition in B.C., the Enbridge pipeline is unlikely to be imposed, and last week Con-servative cabinet minister James Moore clearly ruled that out.
The B.C. government has consistently maintained that the current project does not meet Clark’s often-repeated five con-
ditions, including the vaguely defined “fair share” of revenues, and Moore said the federal gov-ernment agrees with those condi-tions.
The B.C. government has to face some other uncomfortable realities as well.
If heavy oil pipelines are such a risk, how does B.C. man-age the one that has stretched
across remote and populated ar-eas for 60 years?
Does the government take a stand against new pipelines, and then watch as rail cars full of heavy oil cross those same riv-ers? No permit is required for that, and in fact there are more hazardous materials than oil moving by rail and road across the province today.
A sign in Radley Park warning people about the potential for bears. The District is running a Bear Aware program for the summer.

Final hearings
Students at Nechako Elementary, as well as special guests, gather around the school’s new Trail Rider. The school held a demonstration of the specialized device which allows people with mobility limitations to still enjoy trail walks. The item was purchased through generous donations from community businesses and the District of Kitimat.

Continued from page 1The deadline to submit written material,
which was required to participate in the oral hear-ings, was May 31.
Jensen’s press release also says the larger dem-onstration of the two will be Sunday, June 16 at 2 p.m. beginning in George Little Park. Speakers in-
clude Art Sterritt, Executive Director, Coastal First Nations and Gerald Amos, Chair, Friends of Wild Salmon with live performances by Rachelle Van Zanten and the Gitlaxdax Nisga’a Dancers.
This is the third time the hearings have been in Terrace, the first time in January 2012 at the begin-ning of the process.

Jackie Rutsatz provided these photos of families and children having a great time at the Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School track field, where the Kitimat Relay for Life was held on June 1.
Community spirit on displayCameron Orr
This year’s Relay for Life, held as usual at the track field for Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School on June 1, sur-passed the fundraising total from last year.
Beating $109,785, this year’s committee co-chair Ariel Winkelmeyer said they are currently at $114,000 and counting for donations.
That came from 27 teams, representing about 250 partici-pants, which Winkelmeyer said is a great turnout.
She said kids in particular had a great time with a number of activities throughout the day designed for them, adding that
those games seemed to be a hit.But her personal highlight for the day was the efforts from
the organizing committee and the volunteers, saying everyone was “on the ball” with their roles, keeping the whole operation running seamlessly.
From here, the committee will meet one last time to catch up and review on this year’s event and brainstorm ideas for next year.
Overall, she said she is pleased with this year’s event, not-ing weather cooperated, “which is half the battle,” and again emphasizing the volunteers kept things running smoothly.

The Northern Spirit dragon boat team, during a practice in early May. The team works hard to prepare for a number of competitions in the year, including in Prince Rupert, and in Kitimat’s own dragon boat regatta.
A decade of paddles on the water Cameron Orr
As the Northern Spirit dragon boat team began hitting the waters this year, they were marking the start of their 10th year as a team.
The all-women’s team were splitting their atten-tion between training for a May 25th regatta in Prince Rupert and celebrating their 10 years on the 31st.
While the team has grown substantially over the past decade, many orig-inal members still remain dedicated to the sport.
Among those early
members is Ruth Mills, who ex-plained the team began with Mary-ann Thompson who wanted to gather some ladies to compete in Van-couver at the Alcan Dragon Boat Festi-val.
“We gathered a group of mothers and daughters and friends and just practiced for a few months,” said Mills, saying they brought back a bronze medal that year.
From then everyone was hooked on the sport, and spread it to neighbour-ing communities. Now Terrace and Prince Rupert have their own teams and she credits the Northern
Spirit for its rise in popu-larity. And of course Kitimat now has an an-nual dragon boat regatta at Minette Bay Marina.
“We call ourselves so-cially com-
petitive,” said team coach Michelle Wakita, who has been with the team for around eight years.
“Northern Spirit is such a great, dynamic group of
incredible women,” she said.
She said at all ages the team is very competitive, but those who have been with the team from the start are indeed the most eager to win.
“They give their all in every practice,” she said.
Carole Gagnon, an-other in the 10-year club, remembers how theirs was the � rst dragon boat in the northwest, and how the team has grown with each passing year.
“Now we have a more dedicated, competitive team.”

Shaun ThomasPaddlers from across the Northwest
were in Prince Rupert on Saturday, May 25 as the Rainbow Warriors hosted a Dragon Boat Day in the harbour.
The day included competition in two divisions, and it was teams from
Kitimat that took home the top prize in both.
In the A Division, the RTA Youth Dragons bested the RTA Dragons with a time of 1:18.04 compared to 1:18:74. Third place in the division was the Tragically Quick, also from Kitimat,
with a time of 1:22:69. In the B Division, Northern Spirit
handily won with a time 1:27:96, fol-lowed by Motley Crew of Prince Rupert at 1:32:97. Rounding out the top three was the Lakelse Dragons with a time of 1:41:09.
