Josh MasseyKitimat teachers came out
in force to Wednesday’s all-can-didates forum making education one of the hot debating points of the event.
Facing off for the position of Skeena MLA were � rst-time Liberal candidate Carol Leclerc, second-time Conser-vative candidate Mike Brous-seau and incumbent NDP Robin Austin, vying for a third term.
The forum was held in a
quarter-full Mount Elizabeth Theatre on a night of vigorous rain and sleet. In his closing remarks NDP candidate Robin Austin said it was a shame so many Kitimat residents “were too busy watching the hockey game” to make the debate.
Those who did attend made sure to get the candidates pinned and wriggling, with several ed-ucation-related questions � red by audience members wearing “teachers vote” shirts.
Austin said during his open-
ing statement that “Eighty per cent of new jobs will require post-secondary education,” and he continued to pick apart the Liberal government’s record on eduction, saying that cur-rent Liberal party leader Christy Clark was in her time “the worst minister of education in B.C.’s history.”
Leclerc responded by de-fending the gains in education that the Liberal government has made recently.
“There is de� nitely rec-
ognition that there are issues,” she said in rebuttal to Austin’s jabs, citing the recent Learning Improvement Fund and an in-jection of $650,000 into school district 82 as evidence of Liberal change for the better.

Candidates talk issues at forum
Being with friends is what really counts. These three Girl Guides members link arms during a hike on April 27, during the local Girl Guides hosted Revelrama, where units from Kitimat, Terrace and Prince Rupert came together for a weekend of activities.
PTI CEO responds to some concernsCameron Orr
Despite the remarks from mayor Bill Streeper in last week’s Sentinel, PTI Group CEO Ron Green is con� -dent that their proposed workers lodge will, in fact, be bene� cial to local businesses.
That’s because the nature of work in Kitimat versus what happens in the Fort Nelson area are quite different.
“This is a different type of work-er,” he said of Fort Nelson.
“This is a � y-in, � y-out kind of guy.”
PTI’s proposed development, by comparison, aims to integrate better into the surrounding community.
“[Ours] won’t look like...some-thing that doesn’t really conform with community standards,” said Green.
And he’s certain that at some point during a worker’s stay at PTI’s lodge they will have reason to come into town.
While PTI at past public meetings have noted their other lodges some-times have convenience store facili-ties, it’s not something they as a com-pany seek to offer themselves.
“We’d prefer actually not to do that,” said Green, saying its better for workers to get into the communities and off-site sometimes.
“We’re all happier if we have outlets for recreation and everything else.”
The lodge itself will also provide job opportunities for local people.
He said if they have a facility of around 250 people, for their � rst pro-posed phase for Kitimat, there would be around 25 to 35 people working on site.
If it gets to the full 2,000 people, over 200 people would need to work for the lodge.
And Green said for the compa-ny it works far better to hire people from the local community rather than bringing people in from out of town.
“We � nd that, just over time, we’ve done nothing but enhance what happens in those smaller communi-ties,” said, referring to some Alberta locations, such as in the municipality of Conklin, Alberta, or inside a First Nations community north of Fort Mc-Murray.
The Sentinel also asked about opportunities for integration of local

While a local bakery providing products might not work after all in a facility that provides all the food in their price, he said there have been opportunities included in their loca-tions in Australia for example, where a barber will come on-site three times a week.
If there are enough women there are sometimes demands for manicures and pedi-cures, and massage therapists are also some-times booked for on-site work.
“We’re open mind-ed on all that stuff.”
Meanwhile, if ev-erything lines up exactly as they’d like they’d have their � rst rooms op-erating by the end of the year, but Green empha-sized they’re not rushing anything. Even if zoning and other considerations come through, they still
want to have a dialogue with the community to make sure they’re not butting heads with anyone.
“The important thing is to not do it fast but to do it right,” he said.
Finally, to the concerns that there may be social problems from their lodge being so close to town, he said the company has checks and balanc-es to prevent that from happening, including a policy that any worker banned from the facility is banned from all other PTI facilities.
The Royal Canadi-an Navy, the Royal Ca-nadian Air Force and the Canadian Coast Guard held joint train-ing exercises with the United States Coast Guard and the United States Air Forces in Prince Rupert last week.
In a release, the Canadian Navy said all the listed branches were participating in a Search and Rescue Ex-ercise.
Residents in Prince Rupert were expected to see an increase in military activity com-ing from their airport during that time, and more ships visible from shore.
According to the release, “The purpose of the training is to exercise the ability of rescue personnel in both Canada and the U.S. to work together in responding to a mar-itime emergency.”
With the June 1st date of the Kiti-mat Relay for Life fast approaching, organizors are seek-ing out as many cancer survivors as they can for the Sur-vivors Victory Lap.
Caregives are also encouraged to join as well.
Survivors can register for free by going to www.relaybc.ca and se-lecting “Join your community.” From there click on “Kiti-mat” and then “Get Involved”. A link there should take to you “Calling all cancer survivors.”
Even if you don’t register on-line, you can join them on June 1st anyway, organizers just ask that people be there by 9:30 a.m., as the Victory Lap begins at 10 a.m.
Questions on this can be directed to Ariel Winkelmey-er at [email protected].

Brousseau laid it all on the line, not holding back from emotional displays.
“My great grand-father was scalped in northern Manitoba. I know how to take the pain and turn it into something beautiful,” he said.
Austin was more tactical and workman-like, presenting himself
as an experienced leader con� dent of his party’s edge, someone to repre-sent the people’s wishes against sel� sh corporate interest.
Leclerc demonstrat-ed her concern that an NDP government would bog down industrial de-velopment opportunities in red tape.
On the topic of the Kitimat Clean proposal to build an oil re� nery within the boundaries of the Skeena riding, Leclerc expressed ten-tative support, saying she had concerns about how it would affect air quality in the region, while Austin said he thought it made more sense to process the bi-
tumen in Alberta.Responding to Aus-
tin, Brousseau said that the complexity of pro-cessing bitumen into multiple products would overextend Alberta’s industrial capacity, and that now, after a recent telephone conversa-tion with Kitimat Clean president David Black, he has a better sense of the bene� ts of the pro-posed re� nery project.
“I phoned him and we are in communica-tion right now,” Brous-seau said, excited that the project would create approximately 10,000 direct and indirect jobs in the area. “This is a man who has a vision for this area.”

Estate special report which rated health facilities in Canada, the Senti-nel reached out to Northern Health to react to the � ndings.
The report, available at cbc.ca, gives Kitimat General Hospital a ‘B’ grade, which combines the � ndings under a number of categories, such as “nursing-sensitive adverse events on medical patients” or the same on sur-gical patients. Readmission rates af-ter surgery was also included, as was readmission after medical treatments.
Thirty-two people have also submitted their own ratings of the hospital, which put it at three-and-a-half or four stars for most catego-ries, such as respect, cleanliness
and communication.Northern Health’s regional direc-
tor of communications Steve Raper said that while the information in the CBC’s report is largely publicly available and is information they would already be aware of, they do look to public reports like these and assess the information for future im-provement.
“We believe our staff and physi-cians provide exceptional health care to northerners,” he said, saying they do like to hear complaints as well, so they can further improve their care.
“A key message that I want to re-ally reinforce is we think our hospi-tals are very safe and we want people to be very comfortable and con� dent going into our facilities,” he added.
In our April 24 issue we ran a front page story on two drama students from Mount Elizabeth Secondary. Except we mistook a B for a V, and re-named performer Chelsea Bossence, to Vos-sence. We regret the error and we appre-ciate being alerted to the mistake.

Last week I berated Prime Min-ister Stephen Harper for hypocrisy in smilingly welcoming Justin Trudeau as the new leader of the Liberal Party, at the same time as he was � ippantly dealing with an answer to a valid question -- and also at the same time as he had given the go ahead for a se-ries of tasteless political attack ads about the new Lib head.
This week I’m still on Mr. Harp-er’s case but this time my target is his ear-lier hypocrisy terms of his post-election assurances of more transparency and ac-countability as a majority government.
In retrospect, nothing could be further from the truth.
The Conservatives have demonstrat-ed the opposite - substantial evasiveness, a propensity for obfuscation and what I think is worse - a trend to out and out de-ceit - by hiding strategic legislation in the body, or especially at the tail ends, of om-nibus bills, which they then attempt to ram through Parliament.
I � nd it devious, but I’m aware that they know full well, in most cases, the oth-er side of the House will spot the “out of sync” component of bulk-buy legislation.
Clearly they also expect elements of alert media, impacted business, industry or institutions will pick out weaknesses or “hidden agendas” in the legislation. But last week’s whip-in-its-tail budget imple-mentation bill move to eliminate the tra-
ditional arms-length separation between party-political government and labour-relations elements of crown corporations such as the Post Of� ce, the CBC and Via Rail, pretty well takes the cake.
As for Treasury Board President, Tony Clement, his statements that the objective of the legislation is to permit government to “work with poor performers,” comes across as laughable, when the majority of the opposition and the media identi-� es it as a means to control expenditures at crown corporations, but also focusing more on “content control” at the CBC. The CBC, admittedly, is seen (and criticized) by many as anti-Conservative.
However, few would categorize the CBC as a “state broadcaster,” compared to a public broadcaster and I think very even fewer Canadians are in favour of seeing the broadcaster switching from being pub-licly funded to “government or especially, cabinet-controlled.”
Because many interpret the move as one design to give Cabinet control over all
aspects of contract settlements with its employees, noting that � ve of the CBC’s six collective agreements are set to expire prior to the 2015 federal election and the other, which expired last September, is already under ne-gotiation.
Considering the government’s record in response to public service union issues in the past two years it’s
not hard to see why unionized em-ployees are wary of closer ties to govern-ment, especially the treasury board.
This was discom� ting, coming on top of a less-than-favourable Auditor General’s report, highlighted by the gov-ernment’s inability to account for some $3.1-billion of $12.9 billion allocated for anti-terrorism security, since 2001.
However, the revelation was timely with conspiracy and terrorism charges recently levelled at foreign nationals in Montreal and Toronto, and the deaths of young men from London, Ont. in an al Qaida militant attack on a gas plant in Al-geria!
Coupled with the bombing attacks in Boston and the arrests of young Muslim bombing conspirators in the UK, the focus on national security issues is again at top alert levels in the western world, includ-ing, clearly Canada.
It’s time for government to be on top of its game and the Harper government is hardly showing itself as being there!

Did you know in 2009, only 50 per cent of the people who could vote in the provincial election did so?
That’s one out of every two people saying that voting just wasn’t worth their time.
I don’t know why it happened. At the time there were reports which suggested that the hock-ey playoffs maybe diverted attention away from politics.
I should hope that Canadians are smarter than to put hockey ahead of the democratic system.
Maybe it was something else, like voter apa-thy, where people just didn’t think their vote mat-tered. Is there a point when surely a particular candidate will get in?
The trend among voters, it seemed from con-tinuing to read 2009 news reports, is that turnout is continually going down.
But a vote is still a message. Sure, the top objective is to get the candidate you support into the winners’ circle, but surely the parties look to where support is going to adjust their own poli-cies. A political party certainly wants to represent the people — and by extension, remain in pow-er — and a vote, regardless of for whom, shows where your priorities lie.
The election period is coming to a close soon. May 14 is election day. After that, you’ll lose your chance for another few years.
Locally we have four candidates. The NDP’s Robin Austin, the BC Liberals’ Carol Leclerc, the BC Conservatives’ Mike Brousseau, and the quiet arrival of Trevor Hendry with the British Colum-bia Party.
Personally, I’ve always felt the challenge is to balance your local candidates to the party they be-long. Sometimes a local candidate may be tempt-ing for a vote, even if you’re not a big fan of the party leader.
But it’s not a hard challenge to deal with. It’s all part of the process.
Over the course of the campaign, hopefully you’ve picked up enough to know which party aligns with your life philosophies. Hopefully the May 1st all-candidates meeting helped.
I can’t tell you here who to vote for, but all I can do is encourage you to vote. The Skeena riding did only slightly better than the provincial average for voter turnout. Here, 55 per cent of eli-gible voters turned out in 2009.
We can as a riding do better. As the eternal optimist I believe all votes matter. We only get so many chances to sway politics. They come only every few years.
One of those chances is now upon us. Make some time, and use your voice in the best way you can.

Some missteps from BC NDP leadershipIt is said “those the
Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad.”
Step forward BC New Democrat leader Adrian Dix.
Prior to the elec-tion campaign Dix had been at pains to do two things:
First, reassure the business community that a government he led would not be a bunch of mad dog so-cialists.
And second, damp-en down expectations of the NDP’s hard core supporters.
The latter was important given that whenever a party is re-turned to government after a lengthy period in the wilderness of op-position, that hard core, fired by electoral suc-cess, always wants to let slip the dogs of war.
Which translates to immediately undo-ing every perceived evil thing the ousted
government did during its terms and introduc-ing the huge policy changes they fervently believe will create the utopia they espouse.
Dix, who would probably like to be more than just a one-term premier, clearly knew that route would lead to disaster down the road.
He was also in the enviable position, given the unpopularity of the Liberals, of not really having to promise any-thing in order to win.
The pitch to the electorate would be something along the lines of “you and I both know the government’s
books are a mess and, while we would like to do x, y and z, until we see just how bad it is we can’t make prom-ises that we may not be able to keep.”
But the chances of a politician/party tak-ing a gamble like that are pretty remote.
So it was no sur-prise that when the campaign officially started the promises quickly flowed. Even then, the amounts of money being shovelled off the back of the NDP truck were, realisti-cally, paltry compared to the total budget of a B.C. government.
And Dix stuck to
his cautious approach when revealing the NDP’s full plan by warning that, even with the undramatic an-nouncements to date, an NDP government would deliver deficits for the first three years and maybe even the fourth.
On the face of it, that was a gutsy call. But given voters have long since stopped be-lieving in forecast sur-pluses, it was a smart one too.
So, the universe was essentially unfold-ing as it should at that point in the campaign. Then came Monday, April 22.
That was the day Dix announced that he was opposed to Kinder Morgan’s proposal to expand its Alberta-Vancouver bitumen pipeline and with it the number of oil tankers using the Port of Van-couver. A complete re-
versal of his previous position that he would wait to see the contents of Kinder Morgan’s of-ficial application.
Apparently the change of heart was prompted by fears that the Green Party was gaining ground be-cause of his previous wait-and-see position.
Seriously? The shoo-in New Demo-crats terrified by the idea of a Green jug-gernaut? That’s taking political paranoia to a whole new level.
The announcement was dumb on three lev-els.
One, it will scare the pants off resource industry companies. They must be asking, what’s next, toast LNG exports?
Two, it tells the hardcore that if they exert a bit of pressure, a Dix-led NDP govern-ment will quickly cave in and give them what-ever they want.
Finally, it breathes life into a hopeless Lib-eral campaign, espe-cially given the timing - prior to the leaders debates on radio and TV.
(Lord how the Lib-erals must be wishing
they had a leader other than the thoroughly unpopular and factu-ally challenged Christy Clark.)
Will it change the election result?
I doubt it just be-cause of the presence of the aforementioned Clark.
But it makes me think the gentleman interviewed by the Na-tional Post a couple of weeks back may have got it right.
“They (the Liber-als) screwed us for too long. Now it’s time to get screwed by some-one else.”
Josh MasseyPolice have evidence from a four-wheel drive
stunt that ended in $3,000 damage to the Kitimat golf course.
Joyriders on two ATVs caused extensive dam-age to the greens at Hirsch Creek Golf and Winter Club on April 30, leaving areas of upturned dirt and several broken pins.
One rider spun out of control and flipped the quad, leaving pieces of lime-green plastic as evi-dence for an RCMP investigation that is currently underway.
The vandalism occurred between 10 a.m. and sunrise, the worst of it coming to holes 8, 9, 17 and 18, with 17 being damaged so badly they had to put in a temporary hole to serve until repairs are complete.
“They did about 15 donuts on one of the greens,” said Constable Heather Bradshaw of the Kitimat RCMP.
Sentencing for a crime like this could be up to six months in prison or $5,000 for mischief and possibly a motor vehicle offence as well, said Bradshaw, and she hopes the public will help re-veal the identity of the culprits.
As to whether the golf course will press charges, chairman Art Emmerson said, “We will look at that very seriously because we want to de-ter people from doing it again.”
The location of the course is next to a BMX course, and it appears that the suspects on their quads ripped around there before coming onto the golf course to wreak havoc, said Emmerson.
The course should be completely repaired by May 9 and it is still currently open for play, he added.
The damage could cost up to $3,000, and will include aerating and reseeding, as well as putting in new sand.
It will not be covered under the golf course’s insurance plan because the damage cost will be
ATV drivers damage golf courselower than the deductible.
A release by the RCMP reads: “Police are looking for a green sport type quad that will have damage to it’s body.

sinless life and gave it willing-ly on the cross as the once for all sacrifice for our sin. Now, reconciliation with God and eternal life are ours simply by believing in Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
And so for those who have been forgiven by Jesus, the Good Shepherd, we know that
as long as we live on this earth we will experience deep joy and contentment knowing that our sins are forgiven and eter-nal life is ours. And when we come to the end of our days, as we come to the valley of the shadow of death, as we all must, we will not fear for He is with us.
When all our earthly
guides and so-called shepherds must turn back, our Good Shepherd will take us by the hand and lead us to our eter-nal home in Heaven, where we will, “Live in the house of the Lord forever.”
So maybe the little girl had it right anyway, “The Lord is my shepherd, that’s all I want.”
Amen.

Rather than doing any wholesale changes to the town’s parking bylaws, councillors opted to just slip some addi-tional wording to the � les that gives a bit more � exibility for recreational vehicles.
The situation councillors were faced with was how to deal with recreational ve-hicles on private properties which might affect sightlines for nearby vehicle traf� c.
The issue came to the front based on a
situation with a home on Whittlesey Street where an RV is parked on a property’s side yard.
The homeowners had received a one year exception allowing the vehicle to be stored on the property in 2006.
The arrangement of the property meant it could not be stored behind the home.
Since then there have been no more ex-emptions applied for but the RV remains,
which was discovered during a separate by-law investigation last December, when the placement of Christmas ornaments on the property was affecting snow clearing.
The homeowner was allowed to keep the vehicle there until next November, but in the meantime council had asked for staff to bring up recommendations that would allow the parking and storage of an RV on a residential lot, provided it doesn’t block
traf� c sightlines.Discussion lead councillors to adopt
a wording amendment to the Kitimat Mu-nicipal Code which allows council to grant permission, on a case-by-case basis, for RVs to be stored on a side yard, as well as a rear yard, between November 1 and March 31 of the following year.
Vehicles in excess of 3,700kg would be subject to these rules.

Over 550 gymnasts from across the prov-ince competed in this three-day event held at UNBC’s Northern Sports Centre.
Of the eight zones in the province, the Kit-imat Dynamics offered a strong showing for Zone 7 alongside Terrace Peaks and Smithers Saltos.
The men’s events consist of � oor, rings, vault, pommel horse, parallel bars, and high bar.

Public Noticeofficial commuNity
PlaN ameNDmeNtocP ghg target bylaw No. 1, 2013
Kitimat Council invites public comment before making a decision on the following Official Community Plan Amendment. Kitimat Council is considering a bylaw to amend the Official Community Plan with respect to greenhouse gas reduction targets.
The BC Local Government Act requires that an Official Community Plan include targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the area covered by the plan. Kitimat Council recognizes the long-term need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; acknowledges the overwhelming uncertainty about making a forecast out to 2050; and appreciates any target based on current analysis could soon be outdated by such factors as fuel prices, technology change and community development.
The proposed bylaw proposes adopting measures to document energy and GHG emissions, and establishes an interim target of per capita GHG emissions 10% below 2011 by 2020.
a public hearing regarding ocP ghg target bylaw No. 1, 2013 will be held in the council chambers, Public safety building, 1101 Kingfisher avenue, on tuesday, 21 may, 2013 at 7:30pm.

Cameron OrrVictoria Miles is a storyteller with a knack for
showing the fun, if crazy, side of life in the com-mon family.
Jackson Davies is known as the constable from the long-running Beachcombers television series, the show which hits its 40 year milestone this year.
Together they travelled the northwest, hitting locations in Kitimat and beyond promoting their books, which are shortlisted for BC Book Prizes.
Davies is up for the Roderick Haig-Brown Regional Prize and the Bill Duthie Booksellers’ Choice Award for his book, Bruno and the Beach: The Beachcombers at 40.
Miles meanwhile is shortlisted for the Sheila Egoff Children’s Literature Prize for her book, Mimi Power and the I-Don’t-Know-What.
Miles said the inspiration for her story came from home.
“It’s not so loosely based on my family,” she said of her book, about a girl dealing with life with a three-year-old sister.
Miles said that when her own daughter was a toddler, she was “a real � recracker,” and a lot of time was spent keeping her calm and happy.
“Our family ran into one episode after another and I realized I had material and I didn’t have to look any further than my own family,” she said about putting together a book from her experi-ences.
She said it’s a bit of a departure from older
stories of hers that were a bit more fanciful in their settings. “When I had kids I got a little grounded.”
She explained that the way she approached her story is how she’d speak to aspiring young writers.
“All families have their stories and when I talk to kids, I want them to know that when they’re struggling with writing...they’ve always got some-thing in their family they could write about.”
Davies’s book, which was co-written by Mark Strange, a co-creator of the Beachcombers series, is essentially a look back at the series, with plenty of photos included.
“It’s a bit of a family album,” he said, saying he had to go through 4,000 slides to � nd photos to include.
He said it’s exciting to be shortlisted for an award.
He said from his tour that the Beachcombers still hold a place in the people’s hearts, saying the show ran in a time when familes would usually gather at a TV on Sundays. The show has also been syndicated in several countries which helps its mass appeal.
Kitimat was the pair’s � rst stop, with their � -nal visit at the Terrace Public Library on April 27.

Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, May 8, 2013 15
Palm 23:1: “The Lord is my shep-herd, I shall not want.”
A Sunday School teacher asked her class one Sunday if any of them knew the 23rd Psalm. A young girl 4 ½ years old shot up her hand and said, “The Lord is my shepherd, that’s all I want.”

You will soon want something bigger, or bet-ter or newer. The reason worldly things leave you wanting is because they are temporary and � awed; they will never

He did this because our sin broke our perfect relationship with God and we were banished from His presence. The greatest longing of your soul, whether you realize it or not, is to have that eternal relationship with your creator restored; and anything less that than reconciliation with God will leave you wanting.
Only Jesus can take away the want-ing in your heart because only He lived a
