Mayor Joanne Monaghan in one of her � nal tasks as mayor on December 1, along with Janet Meyer, former Roy Wilcox Elementary staffer, joined Walter Thorne and Sue Jay at Nechako Elementary to go through a time capsule � rst put together in 1964 (but later added to) at Roy Wilcox. The capsule was opened in front of students at a morning assembly. The capsule was moved to Nechako when the school closed. Shown here is a 1988 declaration making October 7 of that year “Roy Wilcox/Whitesail School Day in Kitimat.”

Cause of blaze unknownCameron Orr

The Kitimat Fire Department sourced the � re which burned down a mobile home on Cran-berry Street to a spot underneath the trailer in a far corner, but extensive � re damage has ulti-mately meant the cause of the blaze will go un-known.

“Looks like the � re potentially started in or around the skirting and potentially underneath the trailer, so [it was] burning up in to the con-tents,” said deputy Fire Chief Pete Bizarro.

One of two per-sons in the home was treated for mi-nor injuries, howev-er two of � ve dogs in the home didn’t make it out.

The � re broke out on November 30 at around 7:20 p.m.

Crews from the � re department re-sponded with a ladder truck and were on scene for approximately three hours. Upon arrival, the mobile home was fully involved. An adjacent shop structure was saved from sustaining � re damage.

Eleven � re� ghters and two chief of� cers responded along with personnel from the Dis-trict of Kitimat Public Works Department, BC Hydro, Paci� c Northern Gas and the RCMP.

“Due to the fact that there was substantial structure damage, at this point it’s undeter-mined,” said Bizarro.

He said an investigator from the homeown-er’s insurance company would also come up to do their own investigation.

Meanwhile the � re department did come up to some unanticipated challenges which they were able to easily work around during the � re.

Namely that two � re hydrants didn’t work for them and an additional � re truck from the � re hall had to be called down to provide back-up water.

“We were unable to get water. Not sure what the cause was,” said Bizarro, adding that District staff were called in to � x the problem before they left the scene.

A hydrant on Quatsino Boulevard worked and provided water, and Bizarro said those tech-nical challenges didn’t impact � re suppression, and that there is usually some unanticipated challenge on any call out.

“From a bystander’s perspective it’s tough to hear these issues,” he said, but added, “That’s what we do and that’s what we’re trained for...It’s all about how you manage these problems.”

Prentice pitches petro pipelinesCameron Orr

In a speech to the Vancouver Board of Trade on Decem-ber 1, Alberta Premier Jim Prentice called pipeline proposals — including Northern Gateway — “nation building” projects, saying such developments have the potential “to transform our country for the better.”

Prentice calls the revenues that oil sands expansion will generate as “long term” and will be sustained over 50 years.

Prentice gave Canada a timeline of no later than 2020 to get pipelines built, otherwise the country’s pipeline capacity will fall short of new production in Alberta, and will impact the value the country receives on oil.

“We will start to get bottlenecks,” he said. “We will be sell-ing Canadian energy to U.S. marketplace at deeply discounted prices.”

The problems will grow further and will limit the revenue available for social programs and for health care.

He said that all Canadians “will feel the pain” if energy projects aren’t development. Energy, he said, is “at the core” of Canada’s prosperity.

“And make no mistake, if we prove unable to meet global demand, then someone else in a competitive world will gladly

step forward and do it instead of us,” he said.Along with Northern Gateway Prentice also was speaking

in reference to Trans Mountain pipeline expansion in Burnaby and Keystone.

Prentice doesn’t exclude lique� ed natural gas development in B.C. as a nation building project as well.

All that said, Prentice does admit that development does come at a cost beyond � nancial.

“I will not minimize the cost of increasing Canada’s pres-ence in global energy market,” he said. “If we are going to be leaders in energy we must also, as Canadians, be leaders in environmental protection.”

Skeena MLA Robin Austin says Prentice is doing what an Alberta premier needs to but says the notion that Alberta inter-ests equate to national interests is wrong.

“He wants to make sure he can get the best dollar for their oil, and that’s why they want to see pipelines built,” said Aus-tin. “I think that each community and each province has to de-cide what’s best for themselves.”

He said it’s not nation building like railway development was at the turn of the 20th century.

Cameron OrrVancouver Aquarium researcher Dr. Lance

Barrett-Lennard spoke on the subject of whales to people at the Kitimat Public Library last week.

Barrett-Lennard has been working with re-searchers of the National Oceanic and Atmo-spheric Administration (NOAA) in learning about whales and what makes them tick.

And much like anglers on the Kitimat River in the summer, the thing that makes them tick is chinook salmon.

“They’re very picky eaters and chinook is re-ally what they want,” said Barrett-Lennard.

As to be expected, in times when chinook numbers are low, the mortality rate of whales goes up.

Learning about whales and what impacts them has been important research and conducting it has meant using novel means.

“We’ve been using manned helicopters, basi-cally just drones, to get these aerial photos,” he said.

Whereas a typical helicopter will disturb whales from several hundred feet up, drones don’t cause those same problems. With drones they can get to about 100 feet and take photos without any behavioural reactions, he said.

Using those aerial photos they can gather in-formation they can’t get from a boat, such as the weight, if any are pregnant, and gender.

On the issue of noise pollution — especially important in light of potential marine traffic with energy exports — he said it’s hard to say what long-term impacts are on whales, but in the short

term, food supply and long distance communica-tion become difficult with high levels of noise.

“Sound carries well up and down the fjords re-ally well, like Douglas Channel. It’s easy enough, actually, to design ships that are much quieter than the current generation but it hasn’t been on anyone’s radar until very recently,” he said.

Newer ships, he said, can cut down on noise pollution considerably.

Province offering $10 mil pipeline benefitRod Link

First Nations stand to earn mil-lions from having natural gas pipe-lines cross over their traditional ter-ritories from northeastern gas fields to liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants on the coast.

So far the province is offering $10 million per year for each of four natural gas pipeline routes now be-ing planned to be divided up among applicable First Nations once those pipelines are in operation.

It’s also offering signing bonus-es and pipeline construction mile-stone payments to those same First Nations.

Speaking last week, provincial natural gas development minister Rich Coleman said the provincial money is intended as one way for First Nations to benefit from what could be a significant industrial base for decades.

“The First Nations side is com-ing along very well,” said Coleman of the provincial monetary package being offered as part of the prov-ince’s overall LNG strategy.

The Nisga’a Nation, using its 2000 land claims agreement with the federal and provincial govern-

ments as a foundation, has already signed onto one route – Prince Ru-pert Gas Transmission owned by TransCanada Pipelines, a 900 km 48-inch pipeline to feed PacificNorthwest LNG, a facility Malyasian-owned Petronas wants to build on Lelu Is-land near Prince Rupert.

The Nisga’a are to receive $1.014 million right away and $5.07 million divided into two equal in-stalments – one when construction of the pipeline has begun and the second when the first gas starts to flow.

These payments are in addition to a separate benefits agreement the Nisga’a Nation has signed with TransCanada and separate to any tax revenues the Nisga’a would re-ceive from the pipeline as it crosses through Nisga’a Lands.

Provincial information indicates the same basic package of a signing bonus and construction milestone payments as accepted by the Nisga’a is being offered to each and every First Nation along the four pipeline routes now being planned.

Coleman did stress that other than the sign-ing bonuses being of-fered, no money will be paid out until the prov-ince starts receiving taxation revenue from LNG developments.

“What these are are back-end loaded agreements,” said Coleman. “As the revenue comes in, that’s what we’ll then share.”

At last count, there are more than 20 First Nations, for example, who have traditional territory along the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission route.

Citing confidentiality of ongo-ing negotiations with First Nations, provincial government officials would not release how much money each of the First Nations would re-ceive for construction payments.

But if the Nisga’a are to receive $6 million for the 83 kilometres of the 900 kilometre pipeline which would pass through their core lands, the overall dollar amount would be substantial.

The other three pipeline projects to which payments would apply to northern First Nations are the West-

coast Connector corridor of two 48-inch pipelines Spectra Energy wants to build to feed a BG Group LNG plant called Prince Rupert LNG on Ridley Island, the CoastalGas Link pipeline for the LNG Canada project at Kitimat and the Pacific Trail Pipe-line project for another LNG plant at Kitimat called Kitimat LNG.

First Nations who wish to re-ceive a signing bonus must sign a benefits agreement by June 30, 2015 or risk losing their eligibility, says the province.

“[But] they would still be eligi-ble for construction milestone pay-ments,” adds the province in back-ground information.

June 30, 2015 is also a key date to decide on how to divide up the $10 million being offered in annual payments for each of the pipelines which to go into service.

For now the province is leav-ing that up to the First Nations over whose territories the pipelines would cross.

“However, if no agreement can be made between eligible First Na-tions by June 30, 2015, the province will decide on allocation,” reads the provincial background information.

Kitimat’s Almeida joins U16 Team BC for GamesCameron Orr

Kitimatian Justin Almeida continues his rise in hockey ranks with placement on the U16 Team BC, which will be competing in the Canada Win-ter Games in Prince George next year.

BC Hockey released the team roster last Tuesday, which included Almeida with 20 others.

Goalie Dorrin Sekikawa-Luding is the closest other team member geographically, hailing from Prince George.

“The Team BC evaluation staff has put on thousands of miles and countless hours to get to this place in our journey, but after looking at our

completed roster, I am extremely excited at chal-lenge that lies ahead,” said Team BC head coach Jim Dinwoodie. “Hearing the excitement in the boys’ voices after making the calls today makes the whole process worth it.”

Almeida already made headlines this year when in July Hockey Now magazine named him the Minor Hockey Player of the Year.

Team BC male will compete in the second week of competition at the Canada Winter Games. The competition will begin on February 22, 2015 culminating into the Gold Medal Game on March 1, 2015.

very well.”


Every once in a while a less-than-epic news headline jumps out at you and leaves you speechless. Of course, the speechless effect doesn’t last long. It happened to me on Monday last week and I very quickly went back to read the story under the headline; “Ottawa priest who stole more than $130,000 from church, welcomed back after release from jail.”

It was a longish story from the National Post, and frankly, I was sur-prised by the accompanying public comments, which ran the gamut from in� ammatory to overwhelming for-giveness and “welcome back,” as the headline suggested.

The story was about a popular Catholic priest, Father Joseph LeClair, who had been sentenced in March to one year in jail for theft and fraud. Fa-ther LeClair, a diagnosed pathological gambler and heavy drinker, pleaded guilty to defrauding Ottawa’s Blessed Sacrament Church of the money over the course of � ve years.

Over time, about $1.16 million had been deposited into LeClair’s per-sonal bank account, including roughly $400,000 that could not be explained. He had also been charged with breach of trust and laundering the proceeds of

crime, but those charges were dropped.He served two-thirds of his sen-

tence and was to be released on Nov. 18 on “earned remission,” after which he will be on probation for a year. In fact, LeClair was released earlier, on Nov. 9, after he was granted a tempo-rary absence.

The prosecution had requested a minimum 18 months sentence in court, while LeClair’s defence wanted a two year conditional sentence of commu-nity service.

Literally, I don’t get this. His pa-rishioners were certainly split at the time but that seems to have faded. The Church did not � re him, and from what I can see he has been welcomed back to resume his duties with the support of a large number of the parishioners. Forgive and forget clearly works for some. Turn the other cheek? No, no, re-ally, I don’t get it. By the way, further

research shows the church received half a million dollars in donations and received more than $300,000 in insur-ance so its � nancial affairs “are back in order,” according to CBC. The faith-ful come through as Father LeClair is back.

With this “feel good” pre-Christ-mas story behind me, what else is hap-pening?

Just caught a commercial on Glob-al TV - on Wednesday, December 3, at 12:25 p.m., “...act soon, Black Friday sale must come to an end shortly...” I guess that makes sense almost a week later.

Oh, and Environment Canada says this winter will be shorter and warmer than last year. Also on December 3, on Environment Canada’s 2014-15 out-look. Yes, the news is good. Canadians can expect a milder and shorter winter than last year.

Say goodbye to the reign of the po-lar vortex.

“Not as long and as brutal a winter as we had last year … for all Canadi-ans,” according to senior climatologist, David Phillips. “We won’t have to be migrating and hibernating like we did last year.”

Headlines to leave you speechless

Paying the piperYou know, I’m just not sure.Alberta Premier Jim Prentice was in Vancouver

the other week talking about pipelines — including bitumen pipelines — as important “nation building” projects that will mean the difference between a na-tion of wealth and prosperity and a world where se-niors are left to fend for themselves in a post-apoca-lyptic “Mad Max”-type scenario.

Prentice didn’t actually say that, that’s really my own colourful interpretation, but he did say that pipe-lines are important to feed the revenue of social pro-grams, including health care for seniors. And Cana-dians could “feel the pain” in the absence of energy projects, not as a threat but as a warning that there will be impacts to not � nding outlets to our natural resources.

That leads me to my uncertainty in the � rst line of this piece. Because honestly, he is, at least partly, right. Industrial development, including pipelines, will provide a revenue that will keep the govern-ment humming. And I don’t doubt that eventually our country’s transportation capacity will fall to our potential output, which will hurt our oil value.

But then I see a report on the CBC’s website which highlights a report from Clean Energy Canada that says employment in renewable energy initiatives is outpacing employment in the oil sands.

From that aspect it seems renewables are a bright spot in our economic future.

Yet, even as renewables may go a long way to-wards our own country’s future, it’s hard to ignore the revenue potential from exporting oil. We can’t ship wind-power and earn what we could with the fossil fuels. (Also, I’m con� dent someone will start calling it “legacy fuel” any day now.)

That’s really what keeps the natural gas pros-pects relatively positive in B.C., it’s a fossil fuel but burns fairly cleanly. It will have a better impact on air quality than sending more raw oil products overseas.

Really, if Prentice is trying to sell the country on oil pipelines, he should broaden his scope and talk about things like re� neries.

I won’t talk much about particular plans for re� neries — and I’ll just have to add the usual dis-claimer that a proponent for a re� nery in the Kitimat area shares his namesake with the company I work for, Black Press — but if re� neries start becoming a real part of the discussion we’ll see development move far faster than pipelines have been going so far on their own.

And just to end, I do have to have a bit of a chuckle when Prentice calls energy development “nation building,” given how divisive the question of pipelines is, especially in Kitimat.

Weather you believe the Almanac or notYes, it’s time again

for the traditional look ahead at what we can expect in terms of the weather as forecast by the Old Farmer’s Al-manac.

Last month Jack Frost nipped at our noses with a couple of brilliantly sunny, sub-zero spells fol-lowed by last week’s first measurable snow.Is that a warning of what’s to come when winter gets serious? The ancient agrarian says not really.

The rest of this month is supposed to be a bit warmer than usual with about aver-age precipitation. That translates into a back and forth between showers and flurries/light snow with a chance of real snow late in the month.

The question is will it come in time to

give us a white Christ-mas?

January will be pretty average in terms of temperatures and precipitation and start out more wet than white.

Cooler weather in week two will bring enough snow to put a smile on the faces of cross-country and downhill skiers/board-ers.

But it then warms up bringing a mix of snow and rain which will last the rest of the month.

February will open mild and sunny

but week two will see mainly rain. Expect a sharp cold snap in week three but then the clouds will move back in, again giving us a mix of white and wet for the rest of the month.

Old Man Win-ter has one last kick at the can in March with cool tempera-tures prevailing and sunny weather at the beginning and end of the month bookending two weeks of rain or snow.

It looks like Spring is going to be a bit late next year

as cool temperatures continue to dominate in April. On the upside we should see a fair bit of sunshine between the showers.

May opens with cool, showery weather but sunny and warm conditions take hold in week two. Then it is back to cool and showery before sun-ny and very warm weather closes out the month - good news for gardeners.

June won’t be able to make up its mind as it alternates between cool and showery and sunny and warm. The plus is overall temper-atures will be above and precipitation be-low normal.

The next big ques-tion is whether, after two excellent sum-mers, we will see the hatrick?

The Old Farmer

says it will be excel-lent for the July 1 fes-tivities and tempera-tures will continue to climb through week two with only a few showers.

It then cools off and gets damper but the final week sees a return to sunny, warm weather.

Unfortunately Au-gust will not be able to quite match that run.

After a showery opening we will see sunny “nice” condi-tions to mid-month then it’s back to cool, showery weather and, after a few sunny days, rain to close it out.

Fall arrives in September with show-ers but it looks like there is a chance of the Fish Derby be-ing held under sunny skies.

Week two is going

to be a wet one but it will brighten up and be mild for most of the rest of the month.

To finish off the forecast we are prom-ised a not bad October after a wet start as it

then alternates be-tween sunny/cool and mild with showers.

And there you have it.

Bill seeks to prevent LNG lines from being convertedChris Gareau

The day after the province issued environmental assessment certificates to two liquefied natural gas (LNG) pipe-lines planned for northern B.C. and an LNG export facility in Prince Rupert, Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson put for-ward a bill that would forbid the Oil and Gas Commission from allowing LNG pipelines to be converted for oil or bitu-men transport. Donaldson said if the bill passed, it would apply to all pipelines in B.C., including those already built.

“I think [companies] should be made to go back to the environmental assess-ment process if they’re going to change its use to oil, and if that becomes the will of the people, if there’s social license, then the bill can be amended... but right

now people do not want to see a natural gas pipeline turned into an end run in or-der to get oil from the tar sands to our coast,” said Donaldson, who plans on re-introducing the bill when the legislature is back in session in February.

Donaldson said he felt the need to propose the bill after chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en expressed concern that Aboriginal Relations and Reconcilia-tion Minister John Rustad ap-peared to be backing away from a promise to introduce similar legislation, opting to instead use regulatory measures that would not have to go through the legislature.

Hereditary Chief John Ridsdale (Na’moks) was in

Victoria for the bill’s introduction last Wednesday. Ridsdale said Rustad had promised legislation during a Moric-etown visit in April.

“We accept legislation, but we don’t accept regulation because it is too easy to change,” is what Ridsdale said Rus-tad was told again less than a month ago, adding the chiefs also had a problem with the routes.

Anna KillenOn December 3, the Coast

Mountains School District trustees were sworn in.

Raymond Raj was sworn in as one of two Kitimat representatives, returning after his election victory in November.

Margaret Warcup, the second Kitimat trustee to win a seat and a new face to the board, was also sworn in. She replaces Linda Campbell, who was on hand at the ceremony and re-ceived a farewell gift and bouquet from the district, presented by board chair Art Erasmus, who gave a short speech about how Campbell came on as trustee during a crucial time in the district’s history and will be missed.

Erasmus and Roger Leclerc, the vice chair during the last term, were

sworn in as Terrace trustees, with Gary Turner sworn in for Thornhill. And Shar McCrory was sworn in for Hazelton, replacing Lynn New-bery, who travelled to Terrace for the swearing in.

Angela Brand Danuser of Stew-art was sworn in, she was elected by acclamation and replaces Shan-non McFee, who sent her regrets but could not attend the ceremony.

Secretary treasurer Alanna Cameron acted as moderator for the swearing in, following a short in-troduction by school superintendent Katherine McIntosh.

District officials, including may-or Carol Leclerc who is the district’s trades coordinator, were also on hand for the ceremony and reception that followed.

During the recent furniture swap, coor-dinated by the Kitimat Chamber of Com-merce, an unknown individual left an old upright piano in front of the former Humane Society building for the swap.

Upon hearing about it, Kitimat Gen-eral Hospital Founda-tion (KGHF) Chair Corinne Scott checked it out and received per-mission from Jonathan Cooper, the hospital’s administrator, to have it installed in the lobby at the hospital.

This old unwanted upright became a ‘trea-sure’ to be used to lift people’s spirit during the Christmas Coffee House hosted by the KGHF each Decem-ber, as well as being available for recitals throughout the rest of the year.

Surplus won’t go to social spendingTom Fletcher

Premier Christy Clark and her min-isters are fending off calls to increase spending on pressing social priorities as the financial picture brightens for the B.C. government.

With the bills tallied for the first half of the fiscal year, the province is fore-casting a surplus of $444 million by next spring, about twice as much as was pro-jected in last February’s budget. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the improve-ment was helped by a strengthening U.S. economy, despite commodity slumps that have produced declining lumber and coal revenues.

Both de Jong and Clark said their highest priority is to repay about $5 bil-lion in debt accumulated during a string of deficits before the budget was bal-anced in 2013.

“Like any family that’s been through tough times, the first thing you need to do when you get back to finding a job and making an income again, is to pay off your credit cards,” Clark said in an interview. “We’re going to pay off these credit cards that got charged up after 2008 pretty heavily.”

NDP children and family critic Carole James said the government has achieved surpluses with the help of in-creases to medical premiums, ferry fares, BC Hydro rate increases and other charg-

es, and it’s time to put some back to the people who need it. Her party has been pressing for removal of a claw-back of child support payments from social assistance and dis-ability recipients, an estimated annual cost of $17 million.

“It’s not simply people who are the recipients of child maintenance dollars, but in fact all British Columbians see how unfair it is that that money is clawed back from children,” James said.

Another priority is to in-crease post-secondary educa-tion funds, which are looking at one of a series of budget cuts next year despite the govern-ment’s high-profile jobs plan, James said.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond, meanwhile, turned away calls from retiring B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

After a series of increases brought the B.C. minimum up to $10.25 by 2012, Bond said the issue is being monitored, along with factors like youth unemployment and inflation.

“You’re certainly not going

to see us move to $15 an hour in the short term,” she said.

piano’s tired face to its former glory. After much careful, pains-taking work, the piano has received its face-lift and been rejuve-nated.

The tone of the piano is resonating and beautiful, so an internet search was conducted to see if the

history of this lovely old lady could be dis-covered.

It has been deter-mined that it was built approximately in 1914 by the Columbus Piano Co. in Columbus, Ohio and is called “The Boudoir Piano,” due to its smaller size.

It has a scale of

6 1-3 octaves, D to F, with 76 notes. The case is made of ma-hogany with a spe-cial spherical built-up sounding board, with a tone sustaining acous-tic rim. This is what provides the resonating sound. It is only 4’ 2” high x 4’ 2” long, with a depth of 2’.

Similar recondi-tioned pianos have sold for thousands of dollars.

Bandstra Trans-portation graciously agreed to move the pi-ano from the Furniture Swap site to the hospi-tal in time for KGHF’s Christmas Coffee House on December 3.

A man escaped a cougar attack but lost his dog to the big cat out at Lakelse Lake.

“He had been walking it (chocolate lab) in the picnic site there along the beach,” said con-servation officer Gareth Scrivner on Dec. 1.

“He turned around and saw four feet behind his dog a full-sized cougar pretty much tailing them the whole way. He got pretty much half-way back to his vehicle and he couldn’t scare it off and it wasn’t really showing any signs of fear. It took down his dog right in front of him, a full grown 10-year-old lab.”

The big cat had carried the dog back where it came from to the far side of the parking lot and into the trees.

About 150 yards off into the trees, Scrivner found the cougar feeding on the dog and he put the big cat down. - Terrace Standard

Cougar attacks dog

Hockey may be big in Cana-da, but in the U.S. northeast it is bigger than big.

In Boston, otherwise known as Beantown, it is supreme and they take their hockey very seri-ously.

In Massachusetts and the Boston area there are four col-leges - Boston University, North-eastern University, Harvard and Boston College - that compete in the College Hockey Beanpot Tournament.

In Boston it is as big as the Stanley Cup and has been running for the past six de-cades, beginning in 1952.

There were al-ways fanatic, sell-out crowds and the favou-rite was usually Bos-ton University, which in the 1970s had won seven out of ten Bean-pot Championships.

Throughout the Beanpot’s history un-til 1980, the perennial underdogs were the Northeastern Univer-sity Huskies - they al-ways lost.

But that all changed in 1980 when coach Fern Flaman, a former Boston Bruin player and NHL hall of famer, teamed up with an unassuming star from Kitimat.

Wayne Turner grew up in a hockey family in a hockey town.

He and brother Dale were born in Athabasca, Alberta but spent most of their formative years in Kitimat.

Brother Dale, the eldest, paved the way for Wayne.

Dale was one � ne hockey player, going on to star with B.C.’s Kelowna Buckaroos and the Penticton Broncos.

Both brothers bene� tted greatly from having good coaches in their youth, Bill Flounders and Morley Mazurak be-ing two of them.

Wayne had many friends both on and off the ice.

Playing with him in Kitimat in the early years were the likes of Robin Lapointe, Henry Kur-bel, Doug Linton and Bruce Drummond.

Joey Atamanchuk was one of his closest friends.

In his senior rep days Wayne’s teammates included Brad Mazurak, Chris Dennil,

Denton Bailey, Ian Dennison, Drew Wallace, Robin Hoffas, Ernie Markwart, Mark Hammer-quist, Darrel Ferner, Doug Lin-ton, Dave Barclay, Dave Bloom-� eld and Bruce Drummond.

Through Wayne’s teenage years he was always a Kiti-mat rep team star. Eventually he moved over to the AJHL in Alberta, playing for coach Doug Messier and the SpruceGrove Mets.

In his 1976 season, two of his friends and teammates were Mark and Paul Messier, the coach’s sons.

Doug was a great in� uence who helped advance Wayne’s career.

Wayne, a talented student both on and off the ice, was awarded a full athletic scholar-ship to attend Northeastern Uni-versity in far off Boston, playing for coach Flaman.

Wayne adjusted to univer-sity life in Massachusetts and there was steady improvement in his skills and, as a result, the success of his hockey over the� rst three seasons Wayne was there.

His stats as a forward spoke for themselves - 108 points and 51 goals scored, good for 12th in all-time scoring for the Huskies at the time.

around the Huskies were actually contenders for the championship.

In that Beanpot they knocked off perennial favourite Boston Uni-versity in a thrilling 6-5 overtime victory in which Wayne scored two goals.

And in the finals they faced formidable Boston College who had a hot goaltender in Bob O’Connor. It was tied after regula-tion time and it was Kitimat’s Wayne who scored the big over-time goal that cata-pulted him into hockey immortality.

Even to this day, nearly 35 years later, Beanpot Turner is a legend. If you were to Google him you would get numerous hits and stories with pictures and even videos.

Wayne’s glory goal was the collegiate equivalent of Paul Henderson’s overtime goal against the Rus-sians and it set off a buzzer that was heard clear around New Eng-land.

Wayne’s hockey stardom earned him many accolades: he is in the Great Book of Boston Lists, the Beanpot Hockey Hall of Fame and North-eastern University Hall of Fame. He still lives in the Boston area, now working in the Human Resources Department at the prestigious Mas-sachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T).

Some of Wayne’s Kitimat-days col-leagues would not even know of his fame - his modesty was such that he would not be the one to tell others of his successes.

After Northeast-ern, Wayne gave up hockey, becoming a nationally-ranked rac-

quetball player and sub-sequently an avid squash enthusiast.

Wayne Turner from Kitimat is another of our home grown talents who has gone on to fame and success in the wider world.

Beanpot Mayor’s comments at the starting lineFollowing the new council’s

swearing in, Mayor Phil Germuth took a minute to express a few words of thanks to the community.

“To my fellow councillors, today we start our four year journey of work-ing together, serving our community

to the best of our ability and for the well-being of our citizens,” he began, before also praising the city’s admin-istration for their work, and to the city workers themselves for their “constant dedication.”

Germuth also noted the large voter

turnout in the elections and showed appreciation of the trust and confi-dence the turnout indicated.

The task now, he said, is to build trust and relationships with the Haisla, neighbouring communities and all lev-els of government.


Rupert to get air studyThe provincial government will be spending

$500,000 to determine what impact industrial development in the Prince Rupert area could have on air quality in the region.

The Ministry of Environment issued a re-quest for proposal for the study on Dec. 2, with a Jan. 2 closing date. The study is to include the potential of seven LNG terminals, a proposed oil refinery, existing and proposed development through the Prince Rupert Port Authority, gas turbine powered electrical generation facilities and marine and rail transportation related to those industries. As well as looking at the im-pact to the environment, the study is to examine potential health risks to resident and effects to water, soil and vegetation.

The successful bidder will be required to complete the study and have a final report to the government by May 15, with conclusions from that report to be used in future environmental as-sessments, permitting and regulatory decisions within the airshed.

North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice said she welcomed news of the upcoming study.

“Examining the cumulative impacts of mul-tiple industrial projects in the Prince Rupert area

is necessary for well-planned development so this good news,” she said.

“As these types of reports are highly tech-nical, my hope is that when complete it is pre-sented in such a way that the public can be well informed about potential impacts and what steps can be taken to mitigate or reduce environmental impact, and risks to human health.”

Petronas puts plans on pauseTom Fletcher

Malaysian oil and gas giant Petronas has put off its final investment decision on a large-scale liquefied natural gas project until some time in 2015, but it’s not because of B.C.’s taxes and conditions, says Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman.

Pacific Northwest LNG, a consortium led by Petronas for a pipeline and terminal at the Prince Rupert port, issued a statement December 3 citing con-struction costs and federal approvals it still needs for a pipeline and plants worth $36 billion.

“Costs associated with the pipeline and LNG facility remain challenging and must be reduced further before a positive final investment decision can be undertaken,” the statement says. “...Pacific Northwest LNG will continue to work to secure necessary regulatory and other approvals.”

The ChecklistOnly you know what is normal for you – so tell a doctor if you notice any of these warning signs:• A new or unusual lump or

swelling in the testicles, chest or any other body part

• A sore that doesn’t heal on your body or in your mouth

• A change in the shape, size or colour of a mole or wart

• A cough, hoarseness or a croaky voice that doesn’t go away

• Problems swallowing• Blood in the urine, stool or

mucus• Change in bladder habits, such

as pain or problems urinating• Change in bowel habits

(constipation or diarrhea) that lasts more than a few weeks

• Indigestion that doesn’t go away

• Unexplained weight loss, fever or fatigue

• Unexplained aches and pains• Any new skin growth or areas

of skin that bleed, itch or become red

• Unusual bleeding or discharge from the nipple

“Having any of these signs doesn’t mean you have cancer. They may be due to some other medical problem or they may not be serious at all,” says Michelle Taylor, Community Giving Coordinator, Canadian Cancer Society. “Only a doctor can tell for sure. You have nothing to lose by getting a change checked by your doctor.”Some cancers, like colorectal cancer and prostate cancer, can be found at a very early stage, before you even notice a change to your body that might be a problem. Talk to your doctor about getting screened.Colorectal cancer: If you are 50 or older, have a stool test at

least every 2 years. Research shows that having these screening tests work! A stool test is a fecal occult blood test (FOBT) or fecal immunochemical

test (FIT).Prostate cancer: Prostate cancer can be found early using a PSA test (a type of blood test) and a digital rectal exam. However, research doesn’t clearly show if the bene� ts of testing for prostate cancer outweighs the risk. If you are 50 or

older, talk to your doctor about your risk of prostate cancer and about the risks and bene� ts of

� nding this kind of cancer early. “We tell men, don’t delay, report it right away,” says Taylor. “Being aware of changes in your body, seeing your doctor regularly and eating a healthy diet all help. For more information about other risk factors and treatment options check out the information on our website, cancer.ca.”

Some Common Excuses “I don’t feel sick, so why worry about this change?”When cancer � rst develops, you may feel � ne. Better to � nd out now that its “nothing” than to wish later you’d seen your doctor. “I’m sure this will just go away on

cancer early? According to the Canadian Cancer Society, when cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, treatment is often simpler and more likely to be successful. Finding cancer early means there is less chance the disease has spread to another part of the body, and when you � nd cancer early, you have a better chance of surviving.

Kitimat’s new council for 2014-2018 are sworn in on December 1. From left to right are: councillors Edwin Empinado, Larry Walker, Mario Feldhoff, Mayor Phil Germuth, and councillors Rob Goffinet Claire Rattée and Mary Murphy.

PrenticeContinued from page 1

Austin continued that Pren-tice’s arguments are much the same as past leadership’s, and those argu-ments don’t hold much water.

“In fact, I think most Canadians now are much more worried about climate change and our effect and

our responsibility to the rest of the world than we are about putting oil in to a pipeline,” he said.

As for Prentice’s claims that no new pipeline development would drastically impact health and social service programs, Austin says there are other things which

impact those revenues more than pipelines.

“The price of oil has gone from almost $150 a barrel, a year and a half ago, down to $80. Surely the drop in the price of oil would make a much bigger dent in the revenues of different provinces

than whether we have another pipe-line or not.

“And yet we survive, we con-tinue.”

He said the oil sands is only one aspect of the economy.

“That’s not what benefits the rest of Canada.”

manac says Winter temperatures will be colder than normal, with the coldest peri-ods in late December, early to mid-January, and early to mid-and-

late February. Precipitation will

be below normal, but snowfall will be much greater than normal, with the snowiest peri-ods in mid-December,

mid-to late February, mid-to-late March, and early April. April and May will be slightly cooler than normal, with near-normal pre-cipitation.

Since CTV can’t seem to get the after-noon right for northern B.C. on any given day, I guess we’ll do what we always do: wait and see.

LNG Canada chooses GE turbines for plantCameron Orr

GE Oil & Gas an-nounced last week that LNG Canada will be using a high-efficiency, low emission gas tur-bine for power produc-tion for its proposed liquefaction plant.

A news release from GE said the tech-nology chosen is cost effective and is de-signed to handle loads of typical LNG com-pressors.

LNG Canada said their choice will keep fuel use low and re-duce emissions of greenhouse gases.

LNG Canada has also recently an-nounced an agreement with BC Hydro where about 20 per cent of their operations — not relating to the lique-faction process — would be provided by the provincial power utility.

Accidental high beams lead to tailgating motoristNovember 24At 5:46 p.m. the

RCMP were called on a complaint of tailgat-ing. A motorist said they had accidentally high-beamed another car and that vehicle subsequently tailgated them. Patrols for the vehicle were unsuc-cessful.

November 25At 1:30 a.m. police

were waiting for a tow truck to take away a vehicle being driven by a person with no valid driver’s licence. A per-son arrived to pick up the vehicle’s occupants but RCMP noted signs of impairment from the

person and that person subsequently blew two “warn” signs on a road-side screening device, leading to an immedi-ate three day driving prohibition.

November 26Police were called

to a collision near the Kitimat Modernization Project camp entrance at 12:50 p.m. Police found a northbound vehicle on the road had rear ended an-other vehicle stopped at the lights. The three people in the vehicle which was rear ended were taken to the Kiti-mat General Hospital. Both vehicles had to

be towed, and a tick-et was issued to the northbound vehicle for driving without consid-eration.

Police were called for a panic alarm at a local business. An em-ployee reported than an ex-boyfriend had shown up, despite a probation order and re-cognizance of bail. The 45-year-old male was arrested on police ar-rival and remanded in custody.

November 27Police are inves-

tigating threatening voicemails received by a KMP supervisor from a recently termi-

nated employee.November 28Police could not

find the suspect vehicle after a complainant called to say they have been passed by another vehicle on a double solid line on High-way 37 near HirschCreek.

November 29Police were called

to Nechako Centre on a report of mischief, the caller saying that over-night someone had torn down some Christmas

decorations. Police are looking through video surveillance.

November 30Police are investi-

gating an alleged fight at the Kitimat Hotel. At 4:02 a.m. a male could found with a gash on the back of his head and a cut under his eye. The male was taken to the hospital for treatment. Police say it seemed a fight broke out on the dance floor.

At 1:37 p.m. an officer conducted a traffic stop and found the driver of the ve-hicle was flagged as a prohibited driver. The

42-year-old Kitimat male faces charges of diving while prohibit-

ed, and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.

St. Anthony’s choir sings Christmas tunes to a crowd at Kitimat General Hospital for the Hospital Foundation’s annual coffee house fundraiser. Foundation Chair Corinne Scott says the coffee house raised $2,035 towards their goal of purchasing IV infusion pumps.

Kitimat cold weather shelter moves to Baptist churchThe co-managers for the Kitimat

cold weather shelter at Mountainview Alliance Church have gotten their wish,

with the shelter being re-located to the First Baptist Church on Columbia Av-enue. They had said earlier they would

prefer that site due to its more central location in the commu-nity.

The shelter still runs 8 p.m.

to 8 a.m., seven days a week.The managers had said the facility is

open to anyone, while they are hoping to focus more on men, given the limited options for men’s shelter. People can call the Child Development Centre for infor-mation at 250-632-3144.

Demons close weekend with winCameron Orr

The Kitimat Ice Demons just squeaked by with a win against the Prince Rupert Rampage on Novem-ber 29.

The Demons wrapped up their match 5-4 to the Rampage, even as the Rampage spent the better part of the third period rapidly gaining on the Demons’ early lead.

The Ice Demons opened up scoring late in the � rst period with a goal by Jeremy Brady. Prince Ru-pert tied it up again near the end, but the Demons pushed hard in the second period to give a substantial 4-1 lead.

The � rst two minutes of the third saw the Rampage and the Demons each scoring, before the Rampage concluded with two more goals minutes later. That 5-4 lead by the Demons was held from then on until the end.

The win came on the heels of

an Ice Demons loss to the Terrace River Kings the night before on home ice.

The match was notably rougher with 73 minutes of penalties being handed out over the evening.

The River Kings got an early lead with a goal just 30 seconds into the � rst period with a shot by Chapen Leblond.

The Ice Demons worked back up to tie the game by the end of the � rst 2-2, but let go of that lead in the second and had it slip just out of grasp, with Rajan Sangha earn-ing Terrace’s sixth and � nal goal for the night in the third, ending it 6-4.

The Kitimat team next faces the Terrace River Kings and the Smith-ers Steelheads on the December 12 and 13 weekend, in two away games.

The next home game is Decem-ber 27 against the Prince Rupert Rampage.
