Kitimat Mayor Phil Germuth said council opted against advocat- ing for such a buffer, saying competition is healthy for business. “We believe in free enterprise, and I believe competition is good for business, it drives your service better.

Thom says council missed the opportunity to exert some control over the future of li- quor sale locations in Kitimat. “Kamloops has al- ready done it, it’s basi- cally a no-brainer,” he said. “As of right now the city would have no say in ‘em. [liquor li- cence locations]” He doesn’t agree that the issue is a sim- ple ‘competition is good’ argument. “Competition is fine and dandy,” he said, but added if they put wines in liquor stores it will be the cheapest ones on the shelves which will hurt B.C.’s wine industry.” “This affects the gov- ernment liquor store also,” he added. Ultimately he says the “city has missed a big chance.” In June the City of Kamloops opted to adopt the one kilome- tre distance rule after a vote by their council, saying it was to help the B.C. wine industry, reports CFJCTV news. With B.C.’s new auction licence program grocery stores could sell wine even if they’re near existing liquor stores.

June 22Police were called to Nechako Elementary
when the principal reported alleged threats from a parent of a child who had lost some personal property while on a field trip. Police spoke to both parties and RCMP say the man was later apologetic for his actions.
June 23One man was allegedly bear sprayed by an-
other following an alleged exchange of verbal threats on Saguenay Street at around 11 a.m., police say. A 32-year-old Kitimat resident was arrested in connection to the incident and faces charges of assault with a weapon, and was re-leased on a promise to appear.
June 24A pick-up truck went off the road on the
Dyke Road near the water treatement plant. Police say the driver was not familiar with the roadway. The driver was not injured in the col-lision, while damages to the truck are estimated at $5,000.
June 27Police responded to a call of a possibly im-
paired driver and located the suspect vehicle at the Upper City Centre. The driver did display signs of impairment to the officer and failed a roadside screening. The 35 year old driver from Maple Ridge was given a driving prohibition and a vehicle impoundment for 90 days.
At 5:26 p.m. the police respond to a report of shoplifting at an area grocery store. Police say some meat was allegedly stolen, which was discovered when a nearby restaurant was asked for a bag for the person to put meat in to. Police have video surveillance of the male suspect and are continuing to investigate.
Police investigated a call of a dog left inside an unattended vehicle at City Centre mall, but
could not find the vehicle, described as a black Jeep.
June 28Police pulled over a vehicle on the highway
after a report the person had crossed the double lines. The driver turned out to not be impaired but admitted to being tired. He was given a warn-ing.
For the week of June 22 to June 28 there were seven traffic files opened, three cases of impaired driving, and three reported collisions. There were nine cases of mischief, one theft file and four common assaults.
There was one possession of marijuana file, and eight false alarms.

A trailer owner at Vista Village is in a bind and looked to Kitimat Council for some help in delaying payment of her property taxes.
Marie Turner, in her 70s, said she wanted the council to delay the deadline for her on property taxes, which for her would mean nearly $700 for the trailer. The deadline for taxes was 4:30 p.m. July 2, just three days after her meeting with councillors.
Unfortunately for Turner, local governments are apparently limited in how much they can shield people from tax deadlines.
“On something like that our hands are tied,” said Mayor Phil Germuth. “We actually can’t do that. Not on a last minute basis.”
He said to do something like create a new tax deadline has to be done months in advance.
What Kitimat did do for her is assist her in ap-plying to a provincial tax deferral process.
Even so that doesn’t get her off the hook for penalties.
“That doesn’t help her right at this minute though, if you’re past July 2...you do end up with the 10 per cent penalty,” said Germuth, which will add another approximately $70 to her tax bill.
Turner was asking for the tax deferral only on her Vista Village property, although she is actually a dual-home owner at the moment.
She told the Sentinel that she’s been fed up with her situation at the trailer park — she said she’s been in arbitration with the park in front of the Residential Tenancy Branch since March 2014 — and opted to buy a home from her son
to get out.She’s not a resident of Vista Village anymore
since moving out, but she hasn’t been able to let go of her trailer due to bureaucratic issues includ-ing what she says are falsified possession orders by the park owner which have stopped two sales.
In her presentation to council she said there’s been three attempts to evict her in the last 15 months, which were ultimately unsuccessful.
Michael Gemmiti representing Vista Village said that Turner is free to sell her trailer at any time but “she must request Vista Village’s consent to assign the tenancy to a proposed purchaser and her request must comply with the rules and regu-lations of the Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act.”
He adds the park is not scheming to end her tenancy and two challenges from two tenants to the park over perceived sales blockages in the park in 2015 have not held up at the Residential Tenancy Branch.
“Put simply, in 2015, Vista Village has acted in accordance with the law regarding tenants at-tempting to assign their tenancies.”
Gemmiti also notes that it is true the park has filed with the RTB for monetary damages against Turner (this is referring to an issue of back pad rent) and that such action “likely prevent[s] the assignment of Ms. Turner’s tenancy until the RTB makes an order.”
Basically, any new owner of Turner’s trailer might not get a tenancy until this latest RTB issue gets a ruling.

Halfway through a consultation on dis-tracted driving pol-icy, the vast major-ity of B.C. residents who have responded want fines increased.
Justice Minister Suzanne Anton says thousands of people have participated on the B.C. govern-ment’s consultation website, and more than 90 per cent want stronger action to stop people talking or texting on their phones while they’re behind the wheel. The issue now is how high the fines should go.
“British Colum-bians are also telling us they want to see tougher escalating penalties for repeat offenders, because right now some peo-ple see the $167 tick-et as the cost of do-ing business,” Anton said Tuesday. “We need to stop that.”
B.C.’s fine is the second lowest in Canada, and a three-point insurance pen-alty was added last fall. The consultation continues until July 16. Only five per cent of respondents have come from out-side the lower main-land so far.
The B.C. legisla-ture is being recalled July 13 to examine and approve a 25-year tax and royalty agreement for B.C.’s first major liquefied natural gas in-vestment.
Finance Minis-ter Mike de Jong said Tuesday a project de-velopment agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG’s pipeline and export terminal near Prince Rupert has been approved by the energy companies proposing the investment of up to $36 billion. The project still needs federal en-vironmental approval and an agreement with Coast Tsimshian and other First Nations in whose traditional ter-ritories the pipeline and shipping facilities would be built.

REGIONAL BRIEF
GasLink inks deal with 6 First NationsCameron Orr
Coastal GasLink, the natural gas pipe-line proposal which would supply LNG Canada in Kitimat, has signed project agreements with a number of First Na-tions which the com-pany is hailing as a milestone in the pre-development of the project.
The company announced signing project agreements with six First Na-tions on June 29: the Wet’suwet’en First
Nation, Skin Tyee Na-tion, Nee-Tahi-Buhn Band, Yekooche First Nation, Doig River First Nation, and Half-way River First Na-tion.
Coastal GasLink’s Director of Project Planning and Execu-tion Greg Cano said the company is re-quired under the terms of their government certification to con-sult and accommodate with 19 total First Na-tions, although the company has expand-ed their own definition
to 21.He said interim
agreements are made with 20 of those 21,
including with the Haisla First Nation.
He said the com-pany looked at ar-eas of the pipeline which may cross traditional territories of First Na-tions which weren’t under the list of na-tions required by B.C.
Cano said the proj-ect agreements cover monetary benefits as well as contracting and employment opportu-nities.
It can also include further subjects but the specific terms remain
confidential, includ-ing how much these project agreements are worth to the company.
Meanwhile the company is sitting with an environmental certificate in hand and do have their construc-tion permits from sev-en of eight sections of the pipeline from the B.C. Oil and Gas Com-mission, said Cano.
He said they just need the permits for the last section and for a meter station both in Kitimat.
“We have al-
ready provided sig-nificant benefits to First Nations along the route. We’ve had over 300,000 man hours now of field work and about 27 per cent of that has been Aboriginal em-ployment along our route,” Cano added.
The company says in their pre-con-struction phase they have already spent $16 million in contracting and employment op-portunities for Aborig-inals on the pipeline route.

Resident requests tax delay
Fire ban in effect, Kitimat gets some brush firesCameron Orr
The Kitimat Fire Department has been con-tending with a couple of bush fires in the area, one that has been rekindling itself over the past month.
Fire Chief Trent Bossence said a fire near the power lines by the Rio Tinto Alcan smelter, on the mountain, on Canada Day is likely an addition to another one that the fire department and the B.C. Forest Service have been containing for weeks now in the same area.
He said they suspect it’s a human caused fire due to its location.
It’s remote location provides challenges to keeping it contained.
He said the fire department loads water in to an off-road type fire vehicle and drive it up the hill close to the flames. It’s a very labour intensive process, he says.
“My guys spent all day [Canada Day] to about one in the morning,” he said. The work involves a lot of digging to expose any hot spots. “It’s a lot of manual labour is what it is.”
The forest service have also gone in with heli-copters and dumped water in the area in an effort to douse the flames once and for all.
The District issued an active fire warning on the same fire late on July 2, warning of possible smoke as more forest service firefighters were ex-pected to arrive to fight the fire.
Meanwhile a brush fire closer to town had firefighters out on June 28 near Rosarios.
In the hill behind the Kuldo extension Bossence said there was a small fire reported which was quickly contained by fire fighters as well.
These incidents came in the lead up to the July 2 open fire and campfire ban for the District
and for the region as a whole.The Northwest Fire Centre instituted the fire
ban in our region effective July 2.“We follow their lead...if they’re deeming it
too dry in their areas I’m deeming it too dry in my area too,” said Bossence.
In all for this region, the Nadina Forest Dis-trict, the Skeena Stikine Forest District, and the Coast Mountain Forest District are all under a campfire ban.
That’s effectively from just east of Burns Lake, north to beyond Stewart, and the coastal ar-eas, but not Haida Gwaii.

4 Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, July 8, 2015
I am in favour of prudence and common sense. If something is pro-posed, say an industrial project, a government policy or a political strat-egy, I don’t automatically support or reject it out of hand.
I usually try to � nd out details and implications before I form an opinion. I used to think pretty well everybody operates this way. But after 35 years in B.C. I’m coming around to another opinion that this province abounds with people or groups who are seem-ing against against literally every-thing.
Not all of them at the same time, obviously, and therein lies the basis for what I see as one of B.C.’s greatest domestic products; protests.
Just a few examples: B.C. (but not all B.C.) is adamantly against crude oil pipelines, particularly the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline to Kitimat, and many, but again not all, are equally adamant about stop-ping LNG lines and export plants, also suggested and being developed in Kitimat (and Prince Rupert).
This despite the Kinder-Morgan line operating reasonably success-fully for 50 years plus out of Burnaby.
Locally, the Douglas Channel has
climbed to almost completely “un-touchable” status as various groups support a wide range of “stop the (� ll in the blank)” activities.
We’ve bemoaned house prices keeping us “trapped” in Kitimat for years. Now that some new industrial activity is evident, the new complaint is there’s a shortage of low cost hous-ing.
I’m not speci� cally stressing the “objection and rejection capacity” of B.C. First Nations, province-wide, but they are considerable as the rest of BC has become aware.
What else?Well, the Site C hydro generat-
ing dam, ocean � sh farms, any kind of development (other than photo-guiding or national park status) for the so-called Great Bear Rain Forest, run-of-the-river hydro projects, min-ing, particularly in the north, despite a multi-million dollar power line to
encourage industrial development in the north.
Any kind of clear cutting or oil and gas fracking is high on the hate list for many B.C. activists as is, most recently spending more tax money on B.C. Transit in the Metro Vancouver area. Vancouverites have voted “No” in a plebiscite on a $7.5 billion re-gional transportation plan that could determine the future of transit and transportation across the region over the next decade.
Voters were asked to vote for or against a new 0.5 per cent sales tax that would help fund major infrastruc-ture projects.
No great surprise there.Despite marijuana legalization
being one of the few things that a ma-jority of British Columbians appear to agree on, an event that’s been held for 19 years basically without inci-dent, Vancouver’s annual Canada Day marijuana protest, erupted in an ugly confrontation between protesters and police, leaving many up in arms over the city’s policing of pot smokers. It’s roughly the same kind of reaction Vancouverites had twice to losing the Stanley Cup � nals in game seven.

A bunch of funny people, we are
Hot issuesOf course there’s a price to be had.Weekends at the lake, tanning, it’s all a novelty
for Kitimatians who, like many of our sibling com-munities in the region, experience lots of wet weath-er rather than actual sunshine.
But the cost is a danger to our forests.By now most of the province is under a � re
ban, expanded on July 3 from what was a ban in our Northwest area and the Bulkley Valley.
The heat has turned against us.These events are reminders of what impacts we
have on the environment.Whether or not it’s still the case now I’m not
sure but the Northwest Fire Centre, based in Smith-ers, said a few weeks back that all of the notable wild� res at that time were human caused.
In Kitimat we’ve seen the recent brush � re near Rio Tinto Alcan, and last year we had that blaze in the Strawberry Meadows area.
This year a 1.5 hectare wild� re south of Lakelse was also dealt with.
All of these � res, to the best of anyone’s knowl-edge, were human caused.
Whether that meant a � icked cigarette or an un-attended camp� re who knows, but one wrong de-cision turns out costly. Flying water bombers and bringing up forest � re � ghters is not free, and not fully dousing a camp� re can have signi� cant con-sequences.
As of this writing the weather is expected to re-main hot, in fact today might be the hottest of the week, if the long range forecast remains accurate. (Or were a long range forecast ever accurate)
Even a small break in the sun for rain, which might happen this weekend even, likely won’t do much to reduce the � re danger rating.
We’re in the midst of the peak camping season so campers and outdoor enthusiasts should use cau-tion and be prepared by making sure water is avail-able to put out any � re they may build.
The � nal point to emphasize care is that on the Northwest Fire Centre’s website they list seven wild� res “of note” in B.C. at the moment.
There are three in the Prince George Fire Cen-tre, two in the Kamloops Fire Centre, one in the Southeast and one in the Coastal Fire Centre.
Being “of note” means things like Kitimat’s � re near the power lines wouldn’t make the list, even though the District of Kitimat said they expected up to 20 forest service � re � ghters on the cast by last Friday.
Twenty people seems like it should be of note.Bottom line is when the sun’s out keep yourself
hydrated, and your camp� re too.You can keep up with the latest yourselves on-

The problem of loneliness
Car meets Lakelse
Ephesians 2:19, “So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fel-low citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.”
Today we are go-ing to talk about lone-liness. There is no per-son on this earth who has not shaken hands with lonely at some point in their life.
Go down to the extended care some time and you will see lonely people. Look and see the fourth grader who is the only one not invited to the sleep-over or the ju-nior who is the only one in her class with-out a date to the prom.
Go into down-town Vancouver and look at all the lonely people, even though they are surrounded by the crowds.
Look at the widows who have been left to cope on their own, the single mother whose hus-band has left her with small children to take care of or the grown child who watches their parent being whittled down by Al-zheimers.
These are all peo-ple who understand lonely, and there are many others; perhaps yours is different than those I’ve mentioned but we have all had our bouts with loneli-ness.
I can’t think of
anything that can drain the joy out of life fast-er than loneliness.
Loneliness can consume you, it can blot out the sun with dark shadows.
Since the mo-ment that Adam and Eve realized that their disobedience had separated them from fellowship with God, loneliness has been part and parcel of life.
But you see, our God knows how de-bilitating loneliness
can be and that is why He sent Jesus into this world to fix the prob-lem of sin that sepa-rates us from Him and each other.
When you read the story of Jesus’ life you see real loneliness, un-imaginable loneliness.
Not only was He rejected by almost ev-eryone that He came to save, but on thecross, Jesus was for-saken by the Heavenly Father.

A man faces at least two charges after an incident where it’s alleged he drove a vehicle into Lakelse Lake on the June 27-28 weekend.
David Wallis made his first court appearance last week and was charged with dangerous driving and taking vehicle without owner’s consent.
Police say they first responded to a disturbance complaint at the camp-ground at 4:30 a.m. June 28 and after attempting to stop a vehicle of interest did not pursue the vehicle for public safety reasons.
“A search of the area located a man, believed to be the person driving the vehicle that failed to stop for police, swimming in the lake after driving the vehicle into the water,” a police report indicated.
Police say their investigation involves impaired driving coupled with other motor vehicle-related offences.
Volunteers from Terrace Search and Rescue were also at the scene and found the vehicle more than 60 metres from the end of the boat launch.
Items from the vehicle found floating were turned over to the RCMP.

Candidates for a council seat in a small community should be able to spend no more than $10,000 to run for mayor and $5,000 for a council or school board seat, says a leg-islature committee on local election financ-ing.
Which should be just fine for candidates in Kitimat, given the disclosures of cam-paign costs from the last election in No-vember.
From the publicly released disclosures through Elections BC, Phil Germuth topped the list for the mayor candidates on spend-ing, disclosing just over $8,500 in expens-es.
For councillors no campaign expense dis-closure went any high-er than $3,700, leav-ing plenty of room for growth under the pro-posed spending caps for candidates in the Pacific Inland Coast.
The small-town limits apply to com-munities up to 10,000 residents. For larger ones, mayoral candi-dates would be limited to $1 per capita for the first 15,000 people, 55 cents per capita up to 150,000, 60 cents per capita for 150,000 to 200,000 and only 15 cents for communities larger than that.
For larger com-munities, a popula-tion-based formula would limit a mayoral campaign for a city of 150,000 residents to just under $90,000, with other municipal candidates limited to half that. The for-mula would limit a candidate for mayor of Victoria, popula-
tion 80,000, to about $50,000, while Sur-rey’s population of 470,000 would mean a cap of $180,000 to run for mayor.
F r a s e r - N i c o l a
MLA Jackie Tegart, who chaired the com-mittee as it toured the province, said the lim-its are aimed to make running for local gov-ernment “accessible
and affordable,” while recognizing the vast difference between political campaigns in large cities and those in small communities.
The spending
limits still have to be endorsed by the leg-islature, but the B.C. Liberal and NDP members of the com-mittee endorsed them unanimously. They are
part of a series of local election reforms that included extending terms to four years.
The committee wants third-party ad-vertisers limited to
five per cent of what a mayoral candidate is allowed to spend.
The spending lim-its would be in effect starting on Jan. 1 of each election year.

Trudeau’s platform includes tanker bansTom Fletcher
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau came to the West Coast to unveil his party’s en-vironmental platform for the Oct. 19 federal election, promising to ban crude oil tank-ers from B.C.’s North Coast and impose an unde� ned price on carbon emissions after
consulting the prov-inces.
If he forms the next government, Trudeau would invite premiers to join him at the next United Na-tions climate change conference in Paris next December, and then meet them again within 90 days to come up with a national plan
to regulate fossil fuel emissions.
“Central to this will be the creation of national emissions-reduction targets, in-formed by the best economic and sci-enti� c analysis,” the party’s 12-page sum-mary says, adding that the Conservative government’s emis-
sion reduction targets are “inadequate and meaningless without a plan to achieve them.”
Conservative Nat-ural Resources Minis-ter Greg Rickford and Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq re-plied with a statement warning that the Lib-eral plan “will increase the costs of everything
including gas, grocer-ies, electricity.”
Rickford and Ag-lukkaq said Trudeau’s promise to end fossil fuel subsidies would remove Ottawa’s sup-port for development of lique� ed natural gas export facilities in B.C. In Febru-ary, Prime Minister Stephen Harper an-
nounced increased capital cost tax credits for the LNG industry, similar to capital in-vestment incentives offered by B.C.
NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has promised a national cap-and trade plan for carbon emissions, which would impose extra costs based on
higher emissions and reward industries that are able to reduce them.
The Liberal plan promises a minimum $200 million annual spending to “sup-port innovation and clean technologies in the forestry, � sheries, mining, energy and agricultural sectors.”
Con’t from page 5As your sins and
mine were heaped onto His shoulders, God the Father had to turn His back on His Son. In that moment when that stinking pile of sin and � lth was dropped onto our saviour’s shoul-ders; when he cried out, “My God My God why have you forsaken me,” God the Son knew total and complete loneliness for the � rst time ever and He did it so that you and I would never have to know what complete and to-tal loneliness feels like. He died in our place so that through faith in Him, even if all your friends desert you; if all those you care about treat you with indiffer-ence you can still know that He is with you through every second of every day in this life, and that He will be with you for all eternity when the trials of this life will be long gone.
With faith in the cruci� ed and risen Lord Jesus Christ you will never be alone, not now, not on Judge-ment day when the devil tries to accuse you of wrongdoing, and not for all eternity. Jesus will be by your side through thick and thin. He is faithful and He proved it by being faithful, even to death on a cross.
Amen.

Coming Events
Continued from page 4Violence, booze and drug-fueled ag-
gressors and happy pepper-spray and ba-ton armed police ready for some action.
If you’re a homeowner in Vancouver, I suggest you never cut down a tree, even if it’s on your own property, unless you want desperately to see the ugly side of your neighbours.
Locally there’s clearly a significant division between factions that want to camp free anywhere on our river banks and those who oppose the practice.
In Vancouver, house prices are so high, first time home buyers have pretty well ruled the city out while others want sales to wealthy foreigners regulated as competitive over-asking high bids send prices skyrocketing. Real estate profes-sionals are not in favour of restrictions.
I suspect there are a couple of things that B.C. people are actually in agree-ment about. B.C. Ferries are unafford-able and B.C. provincial camping charg-es represent government gouging. B.C. Ferries has reduced service in various areas to reduce costs with the inevitable protest results.
British Columbia’s protesters are al-ways capable of some interesting antics. During the Vancouver Olympics a group of naked animal rights protesters parad-ed at the top of the art gallery steps while chanting “make love, not fur”, “love in, fur out” and “we’d rather go naked than wear fur”. I suppose they were anti-hunt-ing too. That was Liberation B.C. and they can be found more frequently pro-testing the treatment of chickens on B.C. farms. They have an “International Day of Respect for Chickens,” and why not?
Very few of us support cruelty to animals in any form although not all of us are against zoos or large aquaria (..iums?) where young people can see animals from around the world or even whales and other ocean animals, close up.
We are a diverse province so we can expect opinions to be divided, even dra-matically and actively.
Funny
SubmittedA river runs through it.The hallways of Kildala Elementary
School, that is.“Schooling Together/Nous nageons
ensemble” is a new, 3D painted mural at Kildala School.
To honor Sumgas creek, the students at Kildala Elementary School have par-ticipated in painting a stream of fish in the downstairs hallway of the school.
The concept for this mural was in-spired by the beautiful Stream of Dreams
murals on fencing around schools in Brit-ish Columbia.
Kildala’s mural was created inside the school to brighten and beautify the main hallway. The mural also created a sense of belonging, as all students were able to participate in its creation. Stu-dents at Kildala participated in painting Cutthroat Trout, Dolly Varden and Pink and Coho Salmon.
The school had wider community participation with this project as well. Mr. Sluyter from Mount Elizabeth Mid-
dle Secondary School and his wood-working students created the wooden fish for Kildala.
Emporium Building Supplies donat-ed supplies while intermediate students helped to paint the stream and rocks in the main hallway.
This art project was made possible through a grant given by DASH BC. The school is thankful to the community for supporting the project, and parents of Kildala students are encouraged to stop by and see the efforts of the students.

The Kitimat Marlins had 11 swimmers attend the last regional swim meet of the season in Ter-race in early June. With the continued pool clo-sure in Kitimat the club had just a small amount of swimmers in attendance.
Although only one of their four national swimmers were in attendance the Marlins still placed third in overall points. The Prince Rupert Rapids swim club placed first for overall points and the host club Terrace Bluebacks placed sec-ond, just two points in front of the Kitimat Mar-lins.
Angus Bathe, 10, took the gold medal for overall points in the 10 and under boys division. Bathe swam 100 per cent personal best times in his seven individuals events and achieved his first AA provincial time in the 200 meter backstroke.
Also in the division Jayden Johnston, 10, took the bronze medal.
In the 10 and under girl division Olivia Pear-son, 10, took the gold medal while Alexis Florit, 9, took the silver medal.
In the 11-12 year old girl division Charlotte Collier, 12, took the silver medal for the Marlins while Leah DeSousa took the bronze.
In the 13-14 girls Hannah Pearson, 13, took the bronze medal while in the 15 and over boys division Zachary Dumas, 15, took the gold medal.
Joining Angus Bathe in swimming 100 per cent personal best times in all seven individual races were younger brother Archie Bathe, 8, An-nika DeSousa, 8, and Emilie Krabes, 11.
Some of the Marlins are now looking forward to competing at provincial and national champi-onships throughout July.
