Apache finds buyer for Kitimat LNG stakeCameron Orr

The Apache Corporation, which had been seeking an exit from Kitimat LNG as well as Wheatstone LNG in Australia, is getting their wish with a con� rmed deal between them and Woodside Petro-leum.

Woodside has agreed to buy the proj-ects for $2.75 billion.

Woodside will also pick up the tab for spending on the projects between June 30, 2014 and the closing date, which was not speci� ed. Apache does say it is expected in the � rst quarter of 2015, and is subject to government and regulatory approvals. The estimate for those costs is $1 billion.

Apache’s share of the Kitimat LNG

project is 50 per cent.“Today’s announcement marks the

successful completion of one of our primary strategic goals of exiting the Wheatstone and Kitimat LNG projects,” said Apache Chairman and CEO G. Ste-ven Farris in a news release. “I am proud of Apache’s legacy in advancing the Wheatstone and Kitimat LNG projects, and I am con� dent that Woodside’s par-ticipation will have a positive impact in seeing these world-class LNG facilities through to � rst production.”

The sale of the stake in the Kitimat LNG project, the company adds, is sub-ject to “certain operator consents.”

Apache indicated back in July they wanted to secure an exit from their stake

in the companies.Kitimat LNG has all of its required

permits and licences but has been under-going a lengthy front-end engineering and design study which would � nalize a price tag and move the company towards making a � nal investment decision.

Media reports over the summer in-dicated Apache was under pressure by investors to leave Kitimat LNG.

Financial reports for the company in July showed Apache had spent $339 mil-lion on Kitimat LNG so far in the year, $183 million in the � rst quarter and $155 million in the second.

Between Kitimat LNG and Wheat-stone the company has spent $894 mil-lion up to that point in the year.

Park residents pitch planOwners seek protections from forced evictionsCameron Orr

Delegates from the Jed Stumps Manufac-tured Homeowners Association and the Vista Village Homeowners Association, with the sup-port of the Kitimat Housing Resource Project, are pressing council to adopt new, stringent by-laws to protect the owners of mobile homes.

The representatives, Ray Hepting, the chair of the Jed Stumps association, and a long-term resident of Vista Village speaking as proxy for Chair Mike Anthony, have been growing more concerned in recent months with rumours of po-tential redevelopment of the trailer parks.

Such a change, said Hepting, would dras-tically alter their quality of life, given the af-fordable living they enjoy now. If they had to relocate in today’s market in Kitimat, it would simply cause trouble.

Mike Anthony through his proxy also allud-ed to the troubles with evictions from landlords, saying the feeling at the trailer park is stressful and residents need more protections.

Housing Resource Worker Paul Lagace presented a nine-pronged list of possible regu-lations which would protect the manufactured home owners.

Among the recommendations is an exten-sive resident consultation process for pad rent-ers prior to and during any rezoning application for the land.

Also, Lagace proposes that any mobile home park owner must submit a “detailed Ten-ant Financial Assistance and Relocation Plan,” for all residents, and which addresses individual tenant needs.

Such a plan could include payments for relo-cating trailers to another park, and paying for the expenses of such a move.

Hepting points out that at the moment the only requirements from a park owner is to pay 12 months of pad rental to the resident. For peo-ple paying $300 a month, $3,600 doesn’t go very far in dealing with the fallout of being displaced.

Councillors added the submission to their December 15 agenda and moved for the recom-mendations be forwarded to the District of Kiti-mat planning department for review.

The planning department at the same meet-ing had compiled a Housing Action Work plan which set an outline of tasks for the planning de-partment to work on and later present to council, to address housing needs in Kitimat.

Council endorses LNG Canada projectCameron Orr

It wasn’t a unanimous decision but council is officially endorsing the Shell-led LNG Canada project in a letter submission to the environmental assessment office (EAO).

The letter, to be signed by Mayor Phil Ger-muth, begins with “On behalf of Kitimat Council, I wish to extend our formal support for the pro-posed LNG Canada Export Terminal Project.”

Perhaps ironically, Germuth would have been the only person who didn’t vote on the matter, as he was away sick for the December 15 meeting.

The endorsement didn’t reach universal ap-peal.

Councillor Larry Walker said he couldn’t see a benefit of writing a letter, given that the EAO is in a technical review process.

Rob Goffinet agreed, said the EAO is not the place to be giving blanket support of projects. That isn’t to say he wouldn’t support the project, said Goffinet, but that this is not the place to do so.

An amendment was proposed for the letter, which softened the approach and included word-ing that would have given council’s support pro-visional on successful completion of the EAO process.

Mario Feldhoff was against the idea, saying it would be a given that the EAO process continues.

Economic Development Officer Rose Klukas also noted for council’s benefit that through her role on the environmental assessment working group, the District does continually add technical feedback to the application as well.

The motion to draft and send the letter ap-proved, with Goffinet and Walker remaining op-posed at a vote.

B.C. oil refinery backers move aheadTom Fletcher

Backers of a third large oil refinery proposal for B.C.’s North Coast made some high-profile appointments last week, naming former Assembly of First Nations national chiefs Shawn Atleo and Ovide Mer-credi as advisors to their team.

Pacific Future Energy, pro-posing what it calls the world’s greenest refinery near Prince Rupert, announced the appoint-ments at a Vancouver Board of Trade event hosted by Stock-well Day, the former Conserva-tive trade minister who has been the group’s public face since August.

Pacific Future’s proposal is similar to Kitimat Clean, a re-finery bid launched in 2012 by David Black, chairman of Black Press. Both would be construct-ed from modules manufactured offshore to produce diesel, gas-oline and other fuels for sale, avoiding the transport of heavy oil by tankers to reach export markets.

The third proposal is called Eagle Spirit Energy, headed

by aboriginal author and law-yer Calvin Helin with finan-cial backing from the Aquilini Group, the Vancouver family business that owns the Vancou-ver Canucks and extensive real estate and farm holdings.

Eagle Spirit is proposing a pipeline from the Alberta oil sands to an upgrader that would produce synthetic crude oil for export by tankers, likely from the Prince Rupert area.

Black recently announced that engineering firm Hatch Ltd. has completed a design and fea-sibility study for a refinery at an estimated cost of $22 billion, making it one of the 10 biggest in the world.

He said in an interview that he sees obvious similari-ties with the Pacific Future pro-posal, which describes new technology and carbon capture to reduce its environmental im-pact. Kitimat Clean proposes a new refining process that avoids production of petroleum coke, a coal-like byproduct of conven-tional heavy oil refining that is used in steel making.

Black added that the entry of Pacific Future, headed by an executive of Mexican conglom-erate Grupo Salinas, shows the business case for a B.C. refinery is sound and there is capacity for more than one plant.

All proposals for B.C. North Coast refining require oil trans-port to the coast, either by rail or in some version of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project, which received a feder-al environmental certificate this year and awaits approval by the federal cabinet.

The proposals also face op-position to transport of heavy oil.

Pacific Future has appoint-ed Atleo as a senior advisor for partnerships, months after Pre-mier Christy Clark appointed him as an advisor for dialogue between First Nations, govern-ment and industry.

Black said his next steps include negotiating “acceptable compensation” for his project with the Kitselas and Haisla First Nations for use of their tra-ditional territory.

As per tradition, BC Transit is offer-ing free bus rides on New Years Eve in Kitimat.

The free bus service begins at 7 p.m. and ends at 5 a.m.

The service is sponsored by Kiti-mat’s industrial players.

A financial re-view of B.C. Lottery Corp. put a sunny face on an organi-zation that contin-ues to waste money and have significant gaps in control of il-legal activities, NDP gambling critic Da-vid Eby says.

Among the find-ings of the review were that BCLC costs have been ris-ing faster than rev-enues from casinos and lotteries, four departing executives received 18 months severance pay re-gardless of their length of service, and a test of retail-ers found that 40 per cent of them sold lottery tickets to mi-nors.

Finance Min-ister Mike de Jong released the report last Wednesday in Kamloops, with BCLC board chair Bud Smith describ-ing an overhaul of the corporation’s human resources de-partment after a staff buyout program that was designed to save $6.6 million, but ended up costing $25 million.

At the new Kiti-mat Council’s first real meeting the council, as is required, voted for its representative on the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine.

By acclamation, Phil Germuth returns to the role.

Mary Murphy was also acclaimed as the alternate representative to the regional board.

Town outlines housing action planAn action plan

leading in to 2016 regarding Kitimat’s housing has been out-lined.

The District of Kitimat planning de-partment took the rec-ommendations from October’s Kitimat Housing Action Plan and has crafted possi-ble actions in sections where the District has responsibilities.

For the most part council supported the outlines, in a motion that directs staff to re-

turn with recommen-dations regarding the housing plan in the future.

Already ongo-ing from the District of Kitimat, from prior to the report’s pub-lishing, is support for an extreme weather shelter, access to rent supplements and over-all monitoring of Kiti-mat’s housing.

The District sup-ports access to rent supplements by of-fering information on BC Housing assis-

tance programs on the District’s website and newsletter.

Council did divide the question to further discuss two specific items, one relating to living out allowances (LOA) and another re-garding standards of maintenance for multi-family buildings, such as apartment buildings.

On the matter of LOAs, Larry Walker was concerned that the District doesn’t have authority over whether LOAs are offered.

LOAs are better left to free enterprise, he said.

Later, councillors debated maintenance standards for multi-family rental buildings.

Mario Feldhoff was concerned with that proposal which he feared could create more problems than it solves.

The proposed plan could see minimum standards for water, health, light and ven-tilation for such build-ings.

Claire Rattée in-dicated hope that the town could push for-ward on standards only after existing renters in Kitimat can find places to live, if they live in a place which would be impacted by such rules.

Director of Com-munity Planning and Development Gwen Sewell said the plan would not come to council for discussion and specific direction until the first quar-ter of 2015, by which time the department is anticipating that com-munity vacancy rates

will have risen enough to give some breath-ing room to the com-munity, given that the Kitimat Modernization Project will be nearly concluded.

In the long term, that is through to 2016, District staff will also be looking at the po-tential for vacant land to be developed in to additional housing.

The housing re-port, according to the District’s report to council, calls for 740 new housing units needed under some growth scenarios for the town.

Nechako Elementary held their annual Christmas concert on December 18, with the children earnestly singing holiday songs to an audience of proud parents.


In case you missed the outcome of the latest United Nations climate change conference in Lima, Peru, it was another costly, embarrassing fail-ure.

This one is likely to be remem-bered mostly for a staggeringly stupid stunt by Greenpeace employees, who were threatened with prosecution for defacing the Nazca Lines, a world her-itage site in the Peruvian desert.

These vast 1,500-year-old petro-glyphs, visible from space, are among the great mysteries of archaeology. “Time for a change!” blared huge yel-low letters dragged across the sacred site by paid protesters trampling the delicate terrain.

I’ll say it’s time for a change, start-ing with scratching Greenpeace off your Christmas card list.

Earlier there was the spectacle of Canada’s national media, re� exively denouncing Ottawa’s supposed inac-tion on greenhouse gases after U.S. President Barack Obama unveiled a surprise climate agreement with China in advance of Peru.

“Over to you, Mr. Prime Minister,” chirped CBC anchor Wendy Mesley, joining other TV networks in falsely

portraying the U.S. deal as a break-through.

This non-binding gesture soon produced many cartoons, one of which shows Obama stripped to his under-wear in a poker game with Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is surround-ed by a pile of chips and an American � ag.

The U.S.-China announcement served as a preview of Peru, where de-veloping countries would again refuse any substantive restrictions on their fuel use. China graciously agreed to continue ramping up its world-leading greenhouse gas emissions until 2030, while lame-duck Obama pretended he could commit the U.S. to further re-ductions.

Between them, the U.S. and Chi-na account for about half of global human-caused carbon emissions. Due mostly to the surge from China and

India, Canada’s share has fallen from two per cent to 1.5, which should help put all those “tar sands” protests into perspective.

Days later, Environment Canada released its latest national emission statistics, an event ignored by most media.

“Between 2005 and 2012, total Canadian GHG emissions decreased by 5.1 per cent, while the economy grew by 10.6 per cent over the same period,” the report states.

B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak joined the throngs who jetted to Lima.

There she met of� cials from Cali-fornia and other U.S. states to re-an-nounce their modest efforts to put a price on carbon emissions.

TV anchors and other wide-eyed innocents might have been left with the mistaken impression that the huge U.S. petroleum industry is cutting back, when in fact it has grown enor-mously.

And California continues to pro-duce, by its own state government measure, the most carbon-intensive heavy crude in North America.

Climate talks end 2014 in disarray

Not for marketIf you’re looking forward to new housing in Kiti-

mat with the Haisla Town Centre developments you might be out of luck.

Haisla Town Centre is the development where Kitimat General Hospital used to be. Now owned by the Haisla, it’s being developed with Kerkhoff Con-struction to build three apartment buildings, with longer term plans to build an of� ce space, restaurant, and a hotel.

Except you may have noticed a few weeks back in a report on the development in the Sentinel, or if you were listening to a question from Larry Walker at last week’s council meeting, that the � rst apart-ment building being proposed is not a market-unit building.

Is it a rental apartment building or an owner-based apartment building? None of the above.

Kerkhoff has been silent on who they are mar-keting the units to but one can only presume it’s to house temporary residents attached to Kitimat’s project proposals.

Taking a gander through the District’s proposed bylaws and OCP amendments to allow the project to go forward, I saw no reference to things like density bonuses.

Density bonuses are the price temporary worker housing have to pay to build in Kitimat. Civeo (for-merly PTI), for instance, has to pay a dollar amount per bed in their facility which goes in to an afford-able housing fund.

There is another perspective to this though. Namely the apartment building will be permanent — and nice looking, I admit, based on the early render-ings, even if they don’t mesh with Kitimat’s existing melting pot of architecture.

With a permanent building we’ll, I’m sure, see it transformed in the future to actual market housing.

But given its current status, people who thought the buildings might help alleviate Kitimat’s tough housing market, well it’s not really going to in the short term.

I’m not necessarily saying these units need den-sity bonuses, given that it’s not exactly the same construction as something like Civeo, but it seems a little mis-directed to be calling the zoning for them ‘residential’.

As for potential solutions to ease this matter, council could always look to the example of the Crossroads. They anticipate building a 1,000 or so bed camp facility, but they’ve been obligated to build a permanent hotel as well — part of the company’s plans anyway— if they want to be allowed to build the camp.

I don’t see anything wrong with exploring build-ing the Town Centre’s commercial together too.

Year end with ClarkTom Fletcher

A year-end in-terview with Premier Christy Clark. An ex-tended version at opin-ion section of www.northernsentinel.com.

Tom Fletcher: Are you still confident that we’re going to see a major LNG project ap-proved by the end of 2014?

Premier Christy Clark: We’re still in ne-gotiations with Petro-nas and Shell, so I don’t know if it will be by the end of 2014, but I’m hoping in the next few months.

[Days after this interview, Petronas an-nounced a delay in their investment decision un-til 2015.]

TF: I talked to a couple of SFU climate mitigation specialists, and they agreed that it’s unlikely to the point of impossible to have a major LNG industry and still meet Gordon Campbell’s ambitious greenhouse gas target of a 33 per cent reduc-tion by 2020. What do you think?

PCC: I think that

we may prove them wrong. Many of these facilities, not all of them, will be partly or fully electrically pow-ered up, so that reduc-es those impacts, and there’s going to be a real incentive to invest in new technology to minimize that as well.

I think the bigger picture is what really matters, which is that in shipping 82 mil-lion tonnes of liquefied natural gas to Asia, we help them get off coal and other dirtier sourc-es of oil, and that is the biggest contribution that we’ve ever made to reducing climate change.

TF: Ontario and Quebec have taken a page from your book. They have seven condi-tions for an oil pipeline, Energy East, which in-volves conversion of gas pipelines and tak-ing Alberta oil to the East Coast. What do you think?

PCC: I think they took our five condi-tions and elaborated on them. So you’ve got British Columbia, Al-

berta, now Ontario and Quebec, all signed on to some version of the five conditions. And of course Enbridge and Kinder Morgan as well.

TF: What about the conditions they have added?

PCC: One of the things they say they want to protect against is a shortage of natural gas coming to Ontario and Quebec. These are the same two provinces that have put a morato-rium on extracting nat-ural gas. They want to make sure that we do it here, good enough for us to do, and send it to them, but they won’t do that themselves. I look at their last two condi-tions, and I roll my eyes a little bit.

TF: All the way to New Brunswick, they’ve basically bought the anti-hydrau-lic fracturing myth?

PCC: Yes. Some-how they all watched an American moc-kumentary or whatever you call it, and believed it. Here in British Co-lumbia we do fracking better than anywhere in

the world. It is the gold standard.

TF: Finance Min-ister Mike de Jong says we have a surplus es-timated at more than $400 million for this fiscal year, and he sug-gested that much of that would have to go to pay off deficits from previ-ous years. Of course the opposition is interested in welfare rates and in particular ending child support clawbacks. What’s your view?

PCC: 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. And that’s what we’re going to do.

We are going to see if we can find ways to improve some of the programs over time, but can’t do that until we can afford it. It’s typical, the NDP want us to spend the money before we have it.

An interview with opposition leader John Horgan will run in next week’s issue.

History to RTA appealCameron Orr using content, with permission, from submitted piece

Two Kitimatians will have to wait until the spring to say their peace in an appeal of an environ-mental permit for Rio Tinto Alcan.

An appeal process had been scheduled to start early January but the Environmental Appeals Board has postponed the hearings until un-determined times in the spring.

The hearings are still to take place in Kitimat and in Victoria.

With RTA’s smelter rebuild, they’ve been granted a permit that allows them to increase their SO

2

emissions.From 27 tonnes per day, they

will rise to a maximum of 42 tonnes a day, which reflects a larger output of aluminum.

The smelter’s remaining emis-sions are seeing a dramatic decrease, most notably with their Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons which are going from 212 tonnes a year to three tonnes a year, a 98 per cent drop.

Greenhouse gas emissions are also dropping 36 per cent.

Four people and two conser-vation groups sought to appeal the permit on concerns regarding the increase in SO

2, which can lead to

things such as acid rain.Those would-be appelants were

from Kitimat and Terrace.The courts decided that only

the two from Kitimat could have standing and Lis Stannus and Em-ily Toews were on their own on this outing.

Toews grew up in Kitimat and returned here after university and a few years teaching in Williams Lake.

Her own health matters has in-spired her to seek out lower emis-sions in Kitimat. Emily is currently on maternity leave from her teaching job at Kildala Elementary School.

She is a dancer, and considers a healthy environment an essential aspect of any community. Now that she is a new mother, it has become even more important.

Stannus came here 17 years ago with her husband and young son. Like many, they came for only a few years and have since settled here for good. She enjoys the outdoors and her large garden.

Stannus said she’s noticed that small neighbourhood changes in Kitimat seems to get more scrutiny than the permit process from RTA.

Stannus, like Toews, is a school teacher in Kitimat.

Donations room offers up household items for those in needCameron Orr

A donations room has been opened to those in need in the community by the Tamitik Status of Women.

A collection of donations had always been available to people at Kitimat’s transition house, however it could only be opened for a

few hours on Fridays.Dunmore Place House Coordinator Doro-

thy Miller says funding from the B.C. Gaming Commission means they could move it closer to the TSW offices — on the third floor of the Donaldson Building (where the RBC and BMO banks are) — and it can be open longer.

The room is open on Wednesdays, Thurs-day and Fridays from noon to 3 p.m.

Miller said the room has been well used and includes clothing items and housewares for people to take if they need.

It’s a publicly available place, and is all free.

Red Chris mine gets delayedJosh Massey

The opening of the Imperial Metals Red Chris copper and gold mine has been delayed until the new year as the company continues to seek a final provin-cial environmental per-mit and negotiates with the Tahltan Central Council over recom-mendations contained in a review of the facil-ity’s tailings pond.

Speaking in Ter-race Dec. 12, Tahltan Central Council presi-dent Chad Day said the next few months will be critical for agree-ments with Imperial which had originally anticipated starting up its $643 million mine on Tahltan traditional territory by the end of this year.

ClimateCon’t from page 1

Overshadowing all of this is the drop in the world price of oil, mainly the result of Saudi Arabia flooding the market in an effort to push competitors out of business. In the latest sign of the U.S. public’s lack of interest in reducing emissions, sales of larger vehicles immediately spiked up as gasoline prices fell.

I’m still receiv-ing criticism for a re-cent column in which I declared myself an “agnostic” on human-caused global warm-ing. Agnostic means searcher, and my search has continued for real signs of climate change and its poten-tial causes.

Our glaciers are receding, no question, but the current trend started around the 1850s, when a sport utility vehicle had one horsepower in leather harness and B.C. was about to be declared a British colony.

But amid the noise, there is serious evidence being put for-ward that our province is undergoing a climate shift with major conse-quences. And there are calls for action.


Saving is a slice.

NorthernSentinelKITIMAT

30+ years of a political pillarCameron Orr

Joanne Monaghan remembers landing at night at an airport in Rankin Inlet, the northwest corner of Hudson Bay, which is to say, far away from everything.

She was there for business with the Fed-eration of Canadian Municipalities, where she served as president for two years.

On the flight was a couple with a baby. She asked the couple where they were going and they pointed off in the distance. Their home was still another 70 miles away. When they landed, the whole family got on a snow-mobile and took off in to the night.

Monaghan was amazed, and remem-bers that moment as a lesson in always trying to see life through oth-er people’s eyes. Ev-ery one lives a unique circumstance, such as night-time snowmobil-ing being a commute for a young family

Today Monaghan, for the first time in three decades, has time. After the Novem-ber local election cam-paign, she steps away from local government with a legacy of ac-complishments.

Her entry in to lo-cal government wasn’t necessarily easy, though.

She first got the taste for political life via her then-husband Paul Monaghan, who was Kitimat’s mayor in the 1970s. (She says her parents were very political as well when she was growing up.)

She never missed a Kitimat council meet-ing — where she was always guaranteed to be in the gallery, hook-ing pillows and other crafts — and as the 1980 election neared, she realized it was her time to run.

There was a prob-lem though: she wasn’t yet a Canadian citizen.

The November 6, 1980 Northern Senti-nel describes her or-deal, saying Monaghan had to fly to Vancouver to obtain her citizen-ship papers which were delayed, forcing her to appeal to a judge to get herself on the ballot.

She won her ap-peal, and subsequently won her seat on the council.

Perhaps in com-parison to the career to come those initial chal-lenges were easy, as she stepped in to what she calls an old-boys club.

In terms of pro-ductivity she was a hard person to match, with extensive efforts in promoting Kitimat and local government rights.

In fact one of the top achievements she recalls from being on council was work she did with the Union of B.C. Municipalities, getting municipalities considered a third tier of government, which meant better support and funding for local governments. She said it’s an arrangement that’s benefited all governments, not just Kitimat, ever since.

She doesn’t hide the fact that gender was a challenge — al-beit not an insurmount-

able one — at points in her political life.

Even today she thinks there’s still work to do on that front, but she credits a long line of very supportive peo-ple who helped even-out any speed bumps.

She even trail blazed some firsts; first female president of the Yellowhead Highway Association, for in-stance.

She was later the first female president for what is now the North Central Local Government Associa-tion.

In the mid-90s she was president of the Union of B.C. Mu-nicipalities as well, al-though she can’t claim to be their first female president.

Monaghan also took a shot at running for MLA for the Social Credit party in the 80s.

Her time as a councillor was cer-tainly fruitful, yet when Mayor Richard Wozney decided to leave his mayor’s seat in 2008, Monaghan de-cided it was time to set her sights on that.

Another mile-stone; Kitimat’s first woman mayor.

As her 34 years on council came to a close, she still prides over the work she was able to

help get accomplished in Kitimat, from start-ing up the Unsightly Premises Committee to establishing Kema-no Gardens at Coghlin Park, among a list of so many other things. She does quickly add that no one works by them-selves and she received lots of support.

And for her ef-forts in running for a third term as mayor, she said she wanted to be there to guide many other initiatives to a landing, including a 24 hour clinic and getting a medevac service in Kitimat.

“I wanted the wa-ter access and having that ready for the com-munity,” she added, re-ferring to a donation of waterfront land from Rio Tinto Alcan in the closing days of her fi-nal term on council.

For Kitimat’s council today, she only says that the town is in a good place and looks forward to seeing them guide the town ahead and for them to take advantage of all of Kit-imat’s possibilities and advantages. She also adds that development shouldn’t be at the sake of the environment, but there are ways to mini-mize impacts to nature and still allow for job growth.

She does think fondly of Kitimat’s growth while she was mayor.

The town, ris-ing from about 8,500 people to over 10,000, and with new devel-opments and sub divi-sions coming in, she sees Kitimat enjoying a new economy.

“To me that’s something that’s help-ing our community, gives our community a lift, and it can just go up from there.”

Joanne Monaghan and husband Simon Cammish.

Person picking fights at NechakoDecember 8Police, responding

to a call of an intoxi-cated person near Co-lumbia Avenue, found a 55-year-old male lay-ing in the snow on the side of a sidewalk. The male was taken to the detachment and looked at by paramedics be-fore being sent to the hospital.

December 9Noticing a traf-

fic violation on Haisla Boulevard near the Ser-vice Centre, the RCMP pulled over a vehicle where the driver was found displaying signs of impairment. A 44-year-old Alberta driver was given an im-mediate roadside pro-hibition and lost his car for 30 days.

December 10At 6:15 p.m. on a

call of a group of males behind Nechako Cen-tre apparently picking fights, the RCMP at-tended and found an in-toxicated 22-year-old, who was subsequently arrested and placed in holding cells until so-ber.

At 7:22 p.m. po-

lice attended to a col-lision on Highway 37 near Onion Lake. The driver indicated she had swerved to miss an animal and ended up in the ditch. No injuries reported.

December 11A complainant re-

ported thefts of a tablet and a purse from their home, after persons were invited to the home by her room-mate. Police continue to investigate.

Kitimat attended to an apartment after a resident in the unit had called the RCMP de-tachment intoxicated. Police found that the 22-year-old female in the apartment had an unendorsed warrant from the Kamloops RCMP, and was ar-rested.

December 12A prohibited driv-

er was caught after he failed to come to a complete stop at a traf-

fic light. The 28-year-old Kitimat resident faces charges of driv-ing while prohibited.

December 13During the evening

the RCMP conducted a counter-attack road-block throughout Kiti-mat. Two, three-day driving prohibitions

were issued for driving under the influence, while another driver was caught behind the wheel while prohibited to drive. Another per-son was also dinged for not having a valid driver’s licence.

December 14At 12:38 a.m. an

officer stopped a ve-hicle on Haisla Boule-vard for driving errati-cally and learned the driver was impaired through a roadside screening device. The 48-year-old Kitimat resident was given a 90 day driving ban and a vehicle impound.
