snow and “Into the Sun” the Kitimat Concert Association invites you inside for their next concert.
David Myles will be bringing his award winning album “Into the Sun” to the Mount Elizabeth Theatre on Novem-ber 9 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are for sale in advance at Hollywood Video.
Multiple-award winner David Myl-es has been bringing audiences to their feet with his spirited songs, � awless musicianship, and his warm and engag-ing stage show right across Canada as
well as internationally. Increasingly in demand in theatres and at festivals, Da-vid’s unabashed joy at being on stage is infectious. His enthusiasm, along with his tendency to entertain audiences with his humorous anecdotes, wins him fans instantly.
David is known for his versatility and ability to fuse styles such as soul, reggae and jazz and more recently hip-hop, into a unique form of folk music. He has as well written and performed with international opera star Measha Brueg-gergosman.
David’s surprising and intricate
songwriting has garnered him wins in the International Songwriting Contest, song placements in � lm and television, and a place on CBC’s Great Canadian Song-quest. He has won or been nominated in multiple categories of the East Coast Music Awards and Folk Music Awards, among other notices. This is all the more impressive since the Halifax singer-songwriter, guitarist and trumpeter hasn’t been the easiest talent to market.

Provincial response to be reviewedEmergency Management BC (EMBC), the
province’s crisis management arm, will be con-ducting an internal review to seek where im-provements can be made in light of the Oct. 27 earthquake and tsunami warning.
That was a message in a media conference call on Oct. 29, which had reporters getting one-on-one time with EMBC’s executive director of emergency coordination and operations Chris Duffy and manager of strategic initiatives Kelli Kryzanowski.
But while the pair assured reporters that they’d be looking at ways things can be improved — while also defending the hard work of their staff in spreading information — reporters were hard on them, asking why it took nearly an hour for some emergency coordinators in communi-ty’s to hear any official word from the province and why not use social media channels to send out information faster.
Duffy said that within a minute of getting West Coast Alaska Tsunami Centres first warn-ing, which was at 8:09 p.m., EMBC staff were on the phones contacting key people and organiza-tion regional emergency centres and key partners, such as the RCMP.
“I believe that there was a staged and pro-gressive communication that fanned out from the initial information coming in to the emergency coordination centre,” said Duffy.
He said that initial communications were de-livered based on priority, and said he’s confident that the communities who needed information the most received it the fastest.
“As far as I can see, most communities re-ceived the West Coast Alaska tsunami warn-ing centre feed direct and our staff would have been engaging those communities directly on the phone... I’m quite comfortable and confident that staff on a priority basis used all their efforts to get information out and share with communities ac-curate information in as timely a fashion as they could,” he added.
He said that they do have a social media communications team but technical issues from Alaska’s tsunami centre and the need to verify information delayed anyone hitting the “tweet” button right away.
“Any time after hours there’s going to be

some pressure between all the dif-ferent parties to make sure they have communication that is consolidated, accurate and ready to send out. But I hear you there are certainly ways you can get information out quickly. The catch is making sure it’s accu-rate and validated information.”
Kryzanowski added that the website for West Coast Alaska’s warning centre crashed due to high demand immediately following the quake and as that’s where a lot of information is sourced that slowed down further communications.
Social media isn’t the only way information is sent though. Duffy said in these instances amateur ra-
dio society’s are always called in as a back-up to more modern commu-nication methods.
The Sentinel asked if their web-site is a reliable source of informa-tion for emergency responders, as the Haisla’s volunteer fire depart-ment said that they were referred to the EMBC website for information which had little for up to an hour, and Kryzanowski said that they will be working on educating the public to go to their actively updated Emer-gency Info BC site, which is sepa-rate from the Emergency Manage-ment BC site.
Emergency Info BC is located at http://emergencyinfobc.gov.bc.ca.
Cullen slams JRPMP Nathan Cullen is not soothed by Enbridge
Northern Gateway company representatives’ an-swers at Joint Review Panel hearings in Prince George regarding spill response.
That’s because the company won’t need to have a specific response detailed out until months before a proposed oil terminal goes live in Kitimat.
“Only after they give approval does the com-pany have to have a specific spill response in place,” said Cullen. “What a bizarre and stupid way to build a pipeline.”
Cullen slammed the Harper Conservatives for eroding power from the JRP, which Cullen said began the process being able to stop the project, something they can no longer do.
“This panel used to have the authority to say yes or no to this project. That’s been stripped away,” he said, adding that such actions erodes public confidence in the process.

4 Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, November 7, 2012
Do you ever � nd yourself reading the paper or listening to the news and becoming almost instantly apoplectic, growling, “Are you kidding me – what a ridiculous waste of government money!” It can be public money of any kind, especially if it’s be-ing spent to ensure some need-less bureaucracy is not being thwarted.
For example, just minutes ago I learned that — at the behest of the fed-eral Of� cial Languages Commissioner — “under cover” federal agents are snooping around half a dozen airports across Cana-da making sure that required services are available in both of� cial languages, i.e. French in English Canada.
I have little argument that more uni-versal of� cial-languages availability is a splendid objective, even in these days of federal austerity and lay-offs. But when somehow it gets argued that the need ex-tends to the Feds ensuring a passenger landing at Vancouver airport can order a coffee in French in an airport Timmie’s or rent a car from in independent rental agent in French, it exceeds my expecta-tions. Even more so at a time when coast guard search and rescue operations are be-ing closed in Vancouver and elsewhere to “save money.”
Nonetheless, about $90,000 will go into this exercise at eight airports across the country fall, including Halifax, Que-bec City, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Win-nipeg and Edmonton. A problem really
is that $90,000 is seen to be “nothing” in government terms– just chump change.
So, how much more impressive is it when Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty quits, a year into his mandate and pro-rogues the legislature bringing an abrupt end any legislative progress underway. His resignation is followed by announcements by a few other highly-paid cabinet minis-ters who don’t want to run in any upcom-ing election jumping -- like lemmings off the cliff in pursuit of the master. All this however comes at an estimated of� cial “severance” cost of just under a million dollars.
McGuinty, we are told, served long enough for a severance of $313,000, prov-ing once again that not working for the public pays a lot better than working.
Of course that won’t be the end of it. Ontario will now have to wait, hope-fully patiently, without its legislature sit-ting - for the appointment of a new leader (Premier-select, as they say).
This rigmarole will likely to followed by an expensive early election. Maybe what’s left of the Liberals will learn that quitting is not a useful process, even if it
can be personally pro� table. But it leaves the frustrated supposedly-ingrate electorate to start anew, minus a few million dollars and a whole lot of wasted time at a junc-ture when Ontario is in deep eco-nomic trouble.
I can’t blame McGuinty alone as premier. He’s just following a tiresome, repetitive practice – ex-
ample, former B.C. Premier, Gor-don Campbell, who saw his writing on the wall after 26 years in public service, nine years as premier, as his popularity plum-meted. So he resigned.
I’ve searched but can’t � nd a written reference to his severance, but his pension will be over $98,000 a year. Severance for his deputy minister was over half a mil-lion dollars. When an election is held next year, John Cummins, currently in receipt of a $98,000 federal MP pension, will lead the B.C. Conservatives into the fray against the Liberals and NDP.
Anyway, Gordo � ed B.C., stepping virtually immediately into the lucrative new role as Steven Harper’s Canadian High Commissioner in London, England. That came with some excellent perks, in-cluding very comfortable digs, a big ex-pense account and, for Gordo, a Canadian host role in yet another Olympic Games. So, no doubt, Campbell was not hurt in the wallet and probably continues to be supremely disinterested in how low he re-mains in the esteem of the bulk of British Columbia taxpayers.

Paper learns its own lessons after the 7.7 earthquake in B.C.
As government agencies debrief them-selves following the Oct. 27 earthquake, I felt it might be worth it to debrief our readers on how the Sentinel handled the situation.
In short, there were ups and downs and just as with everyone else involved, from emergency responders to provincial crisis managers, there are ways to learn from this.
Here’s how it was handled here: Except for a brief stop to the Sentinel of� ce in the Service Centre (amid the confusion at the time I was a little worried a tsunami was about to sweep me away) I chose to work out of my home following the event.
The Sentinel has two primary ways it de-livers the news online: on our website, north-ernsentinel.com, and our Facebook page un-der Kitimat Northern Sentinel.
Unfortunately for me, I discovered once at home that I didn’t have the access to our online publishing portal I thought I did. I’ve since corrected that, but it does little good af-ter the fact.
Despite that, our of� cial Facebook page was still accessible, and as I received infor-mation I posted it online. Once I sat down at the computer to do some work, I saw our publisher Louisa had already been posting links to primary sources online where people could see how big the quake was and see up-dated information.
I posted a fax bulletin, minus some jar-gon, from the Kitimat Fire Department — sent to them from Natural Resources Canada — showing that the supposed tsunami wasn’t causing any devastation when it hit Alaska.
I called the Kitimat Fire Department and shared instantly what they knew — no evacu-ations, no panic in general — and I called the Haisla � re department which were evacuat-ing people to higher ground, but things were going smoothly overall in Kitamaat Village, no injuries and no damage.
There was a lot of misinformation over the weekend but we tried to provide as much accurate, simple-to-read news as we could.
It’s disappointing to us that we missed the chance to keep our main online presence updated, our website, but with about 2,000 people reached through Facebook, and with people sharing and re-sharing our news, we’re glad some were able to get the mes-sage that needed to get out.

Dear Sir,It is very positive that so many people are in-
terested in protecting the environment by increas-ing recycling in Kitimat. Crystal Smith’s letter of Oct. 24th raised a number of good questions. The � rst issue was curbside recycling. (blue bin or blue bag) This is a question to di-rect at City Council, but is primarily a cost issue. As for the central recycling bins, history in numerous locations has shown an unsupervised site leads to contaminated product.
The provincial government has implemented a number of Product Stewardship programs to build and sustain the infrastruc-ture to support recycling of numerous products: Tires, Batteries, Paint, Electronics, Small Ap-pliances, and Beverages Containers. In May of 2014, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) will expand to include Paper and Packaging. (See
BC government website for more information: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/epd/recycling/pack/faq.htm#pack) Packaging includes cardboard, shrink wrap, metal, plastic and glass containers. With this signi� cant change in the near future, the local recycling depot operated by Kitimat Understand-
ing the Environment (KUTE) can’t justify the expense to set up to recycle plastics. KUTE currently recycles pa-per, cardboard, tin, aluminum, paint, electronics, small appliances, power tools, cell phones, batteries, smoke and CO detectors, all types of light
bulbs and � xtures. For all those interested in protecting the envi-
ronment, KUTE is always looking for volunteers to help with the recycling programs and education efforts in the community.
Ken Maitland, Director of KUTE
Dear Sir,In regard to the
article of October 31st about the council being unable to decide what to do about the Duck Creek bridge: Seri-ously?!
We have no way out of this town if our highway bottlenecks for whatever reason-like trying to escape from a tsunami warn-ing.
If Kitimat council can up with money to support Shames Moun-tain couldn’t they come up with money that may actually help our own community?
It is a great concern to many people that we have no alternate way out of here. Shouldn’t we be making this a priority?
That back road is in horrible shape but don’t make it com-pletely inaccessible-it may save someone one day since there doesn’t appear to be any other road in the works.
Thank you.T. Berndt
An opinion editorial sub-mitted by Northern Health re-garding food quality:
Kitimat General Hospi-tal (KGH) is proud to have a dedicated team of food service supervisors, cooks and workers who prepare high quality and nourishing meals. This team strives for patient and resident satisfaction and takes pride in providing residents and patients with appetizing and delicious food. The local quali� ed cooks prepare a combination of items from scratch and items pur-chased readymade right on site. This allows us to increase the variety of menu items offered at each meal.
The core menu is carefully developed by a team of food service managers, supervisors,
cooks, workers and dietitians who represent all of Northern Health (NH) including KGH. The menu is developed with resident and patient safety as the number one priority, and each item is selected because it meets the provincial and federal legislative requirements for nu-trition content. The menu com-plies with Canada’s Food Guide and sodium reduction legisla-tion and includes variations for people who require therapeutic diets.
Feedback on meals is en-couraged and received through a variety of venues across NH and the team meets regularly to discuss and act on the feedback received. All food services staff are trained in FoodSafe and the food safety plan is approved
by the public health protection department, who also conducts regular inspections for safe food handling.
The food services team is an integral part of patient safety, and the provision of appealing, nutritious and delicious food. Through their dedicated work, we ensure that we are consistent with industry best practices and strive to continually improve the food services at NH facilities. Their efforts are making a sig-ni� cant contribution to north-erners to provide high quality health care.

Continued from page 4Now, of course, the B.C. Legislature is not
sitting either – more to keep the opposition ex-posure down than anything else – and nothing is being seen to be done democratically in B.C. ei-ther. Meanwhile, millions, maybe billions, of dol-lars have been directed into political and public service severances in the federal government as well as in B.C. and Ontario. Remember, there’s only one set of Canadian taxpayers – all paying provincial taxes as well.
People will argue that many of these things are not a waste of public money in the context of the millions and billions of dollars needed for provincial and federal business operations, not to mention overseas wars. To me, its a debate that only has validity for those with a vested interest.
But, I would also say any hard working but lower pay-scale public health worker, a proba-tion of� cer, a teacher, nurse, a retail clerk, a low-income retiree or a small business person -- all under a different scale of economic pressure -- would be likely agree that any part of even $90,000 spent to simply monitor whether there’s at least one French-speaking employee to sell you a double-double coffee in Tim Horton’s donuts at the airport in Edmonton is indeed a total waste of public money.

NHA talks work camps
Coastal GasLink gathers feedback for pipe
Cameron OrrNorthern Health is digging into the issues of
industrial work camps with the release of a new report which introduces the subject for future study.
The report, “Understanding the State of In-dustrial Camps in Northern BC,” seeks to fill in knowledge gaps about what work camps are pro-posed, which are active, and what their health care needs will be.
In the report’s own introduction, it says “the impacts on the health of the workers staying in the camps, health services and surrounding commu-nities are not well-known or understood.”
From the report, Northern Health does high-light Bechtel with their Kitimat Modernization work camp has having “the best practices regard-ing health and health promotion.”
That’s based on information available from the company’s website.
The modernization work camp is the largest camp identified in the Northwest health services delivery area, with a current estimated capacity of 600. (To peak to 1,500 in a later phase of con-struction.)
The responsibility of health care for workers in camps is really a question that Northern Health will grapple with in future studies, this report be-
ing the foundation and start of that research.Northern Health board chair Charles Jago
said that there is a bit of responsibility on both the health authority’s side and with industry. For example NHA would be responsible for treating a U.S. tourist passing through the area.
“I think industry has a responsibility too,” he added.
As for how the challenges of industry camps change from remote ones to ones closer to towns — such as Kitimat’s — Ulrich says it’s really about location and size as to what services can be offered by the company and what needs to be provided by Northern Health.
The report was prepared and presented to the board by Dr. Ronald Chapman, NHA’s chief med-ical health officer.
“We know there is a transient work force in the north...We don’t know the complexity of their health challenges, where they might access ser-vices and what services we may need to provide in the north for that group,” he says in a news re-lease. “
There will be two further reports following this one, one which will show how communities have changed over time in relation to economic activity, and the third will identify the impacts on health services.
When TransCanada representatives came through Kitimat recently they wanted to listen to community comments ahead of filing for an en-vironmental assessment for the proposed Coastal GasLink natural gas pipeline to be built to service the proposed Canada LNG terminal in Kitimat.
But what the community also heard was that the pipeline also has the potential to service the other LNG projects for Kitimat, specifically BC LNG Co-Op and Kitimat LNG.
No deals or arrangements have been made or announced (And BC LNG is said to use existing capacity on the Pa-cific Northern Gas pipeline owned by AltaGas), but the capacity of the pipe, for about 300 km at its east-ern end near Dawson Creek, will be available for third-party clients, said Coastal GasLink president Rick Gateman.
He said such an arrangement, which would be arranged through TransCanada’s sister company NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd., could save other companies money who need to bring their gas product to the west coast. The furthest the pipeline would carry other people’s natural gas is near to Vanderhoof.
The proposed Coastal GasLink line is set to have a capacity of 1.7 billion cubic feet per day (bcf) of natural gas, which may expand to 3.4 bcf if Canada LNG expands their production. The pipeline will start with one compressor but if capacity grows they will build additional ones along the route.
TransCanada’s existing pipeline network is
monitored 24 hours a day he said, out of a control centre in Calgary.
Meanwhile TransCanada’s director of proj-ect planning and execution said that as they de-velop the route for the GasLink pipeline they hope to follow, as best they can, the proposed Pa-cific Trails Pipeline (which is planned to service Kitimat LNG).
He was on hand for questions during the company’s open house at the Riverlodge, where people could ask questions of the company.
He said they will work hard to keep work and support local as they build the line. He said a work camp would be established during construction, which is expected to last up to two-and-a-half years.
He said conversations with so far 32 First Nations have also been going well.
Construction is estimated to begin in mid-2015 for a start at the end of the decade to meet Canada LNG’s proposed start-up date.
TransCanada’s community relations advisor Jaimie Harding said that the province stands to benefit from $17 million in annual property tax-es, $2.5 million set to go to the Regional District of Kitimat Stikine.
Back to Gateman, he said they expect to file for evironmental review in early 2014.
“We’re just getting together our informa-tion to file with the BC Environmental Assess-ment office,” he said, adding they will also file with other agencies, such as the BC Oil and Gas Commission.
TransCanada Project Director Bruce Wells stands by a mock-up showing how large their proposed natural gas pipe will be.

A mine to call our ownSome people from afar have thought
of Kitimat as a mining community. Who could blame these folks for assuming that because of our smelter that we also had a mine. But we don’t mine here.
Or do we? Well yes. Believe it or not, Kitimat is
a mining community and we have a large mine worth millions. Ours is an open pit or, should we say, an open hillside mine. Ours is known as The Sandhill.
The Sandhill has historically been an essential element of Kitimat’s success. In pioneer times it was prominent. It was featured in the early 1900s with a picture in an early edition of the church newspa-per, The Na-Na-Kwa. In those days, the valley did have a few hard rock mines, including The Golden Crown Mine. Since then, our most valuable and suc-cessful property has been The Sandhill
The origins of our pile of gravel, goes back tens of thousands of years ago when the continental ice sheets were in retreat. In melting, the vast glaciers left huge ground up rock or gravel depos-its known as moraines. The Sandhill is a particularly deep deposit of material which at one time not so long ago, was below sea level, thus accounting for the marine shells that are periodically dis-covered within.
The Sandhill came into its own in the 50s, when 15,000 cubic meters a day
were being extracted. For months, 85 dump trucks
worked round the clock to re-move fill for industrial and resi-dential sites. By the mid-1950s the dump trucks had been re-placed by a more than 4 km long conveyor belt which connected The Sandhill to the Alcan site. This conveyor clanked and groaned, 24/7, for years.
Mined gravel from our Sandhill was essential to our town and the three prin-cipal industries that founded it. At Alcan the delta lands were so boggy that a solid gravel base was mandatory. Likewise in the late 60s when Eurocan was con-ceived, the gravel again was an essential element. Of course, neither the Ocelot/Methanex site nor the government hatch-ery sites would have been possible with-out huge amounts of gravel as well.
In its heyday, The Sandhill gravel pit mine, had a crew of 24. Of that crew, up to nine were cat-skinners, otherwise known as skilled bull-dozer operators.
Like most mines our Sandhill is frought with danger. Avalanche slides have been a constant worry. In the 1950s Charlie Richardson, who supervised the gravel mine extraction, witnessed a major slide, when his routine dynamite charge went off and a large chunk of the mountainside came down with the hop-
per assembly and the complete 100 metre tunnel. All went cascading into the Kiti-mat River. Similar to hard rock mines, our Sandhill mine has a deadly record; it has claimed lives.
Considering that The Sandhill was once situated right at the river’s edge, at the current site of the Alcan and old Eu-rocan pump houses, it has receded con-siderably. By 1957 nearly ten million cubic metres had been extracted and the hill had moved 80 metres west. Geolo-gists today tell us the gravel reserves in The Sandhill are still quite prodigious. Gravel reserves are limited, but that will not prevent plans like Cascadia from be-ing reformulated. Who knows, perhaps the mine of the 50s will resurrect itself into another Kitimat export industry.
Our Kitimat Sandhill remains an as-set. Its vast content of gravel should, if managed, be able to develop a new gen-eration of Kitimat business and industry but don’t let anyone tell you we don’t have a mine in Kitimat for as was said in the 50s, we have The Sandhill.

There’s no mistaking the importance of Kitimat, B.C., to the Gateway project. It’s where the pipeline ends, and it’s where marine operations begin.
I’d like to set the record straight on why we chose Kitimat, at the head of the Douglas Channel, as the site for Gateway’s marine terminal. The answer took thousands of hours of research, planning, engineering, environmental science, oceanography consultation, weather monitoring, and simulation. But the simple reason is . . . safety, all the way.
The Douglas Channel is one of the widest and deepest inland waterways on North America’s west coast. Government research had already determined Kitimat to be among the safest ports in B.C., and about 1,500 tankers carrying petrochemicals have docked safely at Kitimat over the past quarter-century.
Strategically speaking, Kitimat provides the lowest environmental risk for all aspects of Gateway operations. It offers a safer endpoint for the pipeline route, from a geotechnical perspective. The marine terminal at Kitimat also provides safe approaches for tanker traffi c — with a suitable turning basin in Kitimat Arm, and natural deep-water berths that are sheltered
from open-water wave conditions.
At its very narrowest, the Douglas Channel is 1.4 kilometres wide — three times wider than Transport Canada’s recommended width for two-way tanker traffi c. Water depths in the marine channels are up to several hundred metres.
As an added measure, full simulations of vessel traffi c in the Douglas Channel were carried out at a world-leading facility in Denmark. It tested the largest proposed vessels in environmental conditions that tankers would experience in the marine channels. The result was a thumbs-up on the shipping route, endorsed by both government departments and the British Columbia Coast Pilots.
Why Kitimat? Why the Douglas Channel? It’s the safe option for Gateway.

Purchase found guilty of 2009 murderMargaret Speirs
A Kitimat man convicted of second degree murder for a stab-bing three years ago will spend 12 years behind bars before hav-ing any chance for parole on his life sentence.
A jury found Robert David Purchase, 33, guilty June 11 for the stabbing death of Arkadiusz Rejczak from September 2009 after a confrontation between the two on Rejczak’s driveway.
Second degree murder car-ries an automatic life sentence so issue to decide at sentencing was how long he would have to wait until he could apply for pa-role – the minimum is 10 years.
“Today Mr. Purchase ex-pressed remorse for the death of Mr. Rejczak. I have no reason to doubt he’s genuinely sorry for what happened,” said Mister Justice James Williams Oct. 29.
“I certainly hope, Mr. Pur-chase, you’re 33, your life is not over by a long shot. I certainly hope you can find a way to be the man you should be.”
Rejczak’s family, his sister, mother and father, read their victim impact statements in court before crown and defence gave their sentencing submis-sions.
His sister spoke of how she still misses her brother and how it still feels like he had been murdered yesterday even though it’s been three years and how her daughter will never know him.
His parents spoke of their grief that af-fects their ability to
sleep and the knowledge that they will never have grandchil-dren from their only son.
In the early morning hours of Nov. 8, 2010, Purchase and Rejczak, who were acquain-tances, saw each other at a local bar, the court heard before sen-tencing.
A woman who was out with Rejczak had been in a relation-ship with Purchase and he and her were not permitted to have contact with each other, court heard.
Purchase’s presence at the bar was a breach of his curfew that he was under at that time, court heard.
He text messaged the wom-an while both were in the bar, court heard.
“Nothing happened at the bar but there were angry feel-ings taking root,” said Williams, referring to Purchase and Rejc-zak.
The woman and others went to Rejczak’s residence and Pur-chase went home but contin-ued to text the woman and then texted Rejczak, in what became an almost frenetic conversation between the two, court heard.
The two grew more bellig-erent, resulting in both telling the other how tough they were, court heard.
The conclusion was each threatened the other, court heard.
At some point, Purchase
called the police to report he was being harassed by the woman and there might have been some mention of Rejczak as well, court heard.
The police dispatcher told Purchase very pointedly and clearly not to do anything, not to do anything stupid and to stay at home, but instead of taking that advice, Purchase grew more and
more angry and at 7 a.m. when his curfew ended, he got into his vehicle and went to Rejczak’s home, court heard.
He texted Rejczak saying he was there and Rejczak came outside with a baseball bat, court heard.
There were no witnesses to see what happened but appar-ently Purchase had armed him-self with a knife and was able to disarm Rejczak, court heard.
Purchase then stabbed him approximately 17 times – some wounds were to vital areas in
the chest and abdomen, including four stab wounds to the heart, liver and lungs and the fight ended very quickly, court heard.
Purchase left, Rejczak went to the ground, others came out and called ambulance, who took him to hospital where he died, court heard.
Kitimat RCMP were called to a residence on Angle St. at 7:15 a.m. November 8, 2010 where a 29-year-old man was found in a driveway, taken to hospital and passed away there, said police at that time.
Police said Purchase was seen at the scene and began looking for him, said police.
They set up roadblocks and said they believed Purchase had left the Kitimat area.
Purchase was described as being “armed and unstable,” and officers warned people not to approach Pur-chase and to call 911 instead.
Police later arrested Purchase in Terrace.
“The jury was invited to find that Mr. Purchase had acted in self-defence but clearly they did not find that to be the case,” said Williams.
Williams noted that Purchase had a significant criminal record dating back to 1988 – what made it significant was that except for two offences, the others were all for per-sonal violence and assault, assault causing bodily harm, assault with a weapon, uttering threats, harass-ment, sexual interference or failure to comply, court heard.
Prosecutor Claire Ducluzeau asked for parole ineligibility for 13 to 15 years while defence lawyer Terry La Liberte urged court to leave it at 10 years.
“One thing I wish to make clear: whether [the sentence is] good or bad isn’t gauged by the number of years,” said Williams.
“It’s not a matter of [being] the court’s responsibility to exact ven-geance for those who feel aggrieved.
“The sentence won’t bring Mr. Rejczak back to life and probably won’t enable [his family] to sleep better tonight,” he said.
Purchase must also submit a DNA sample to the national regis-try and is prohibited from owning or possessing firearms for life.
“Today Mr. Purchase expressed
remorse for the death of Mr.
Rejczak. I have no reason to doubt he’s genuinely
sorry ...”

Tourism industry amazingly diverseFor some, a dream job
would be a vacation planner – for themselves! Vacationing in B.C. can take so many forms that it would indeed be a full-time job.
The tourism and hospital-ity industry is an extremely diverse industry with over 400 different occupations – in-cluding occupations that lead to longer-term careers, as well as those that fit well for those seeking part-time work, like students or older workers who are not yet ready to retire.
British Columbia’s tour-ism industry will be a leader in provincial job growth as businesses look to fill 101,000 new job openings by 2020, according to a study of labour demand and supply by go2, the BC tourism industry’s hu-man resource association.
The Tourism Labour Market Strategy, released in the spring of 2012 by go2, sets out the plan to recruit, retain and train the workers needed to keep pace with the growth projected for the industry. Nearly half of the 101,000 openings will be new jobs created by the tourism industry across the province,
adding 44,220 more jobs to the provincial workforce by 2020. The other approximate-ly 57,000 openings are due to replacements (i.e. retire-ments).
“The labour strategy co-ordinated by go2 is a key pillar of industry growth in the province. Without it, we simply wouldn’t have the skilled workers in place to deliver the visitor experience throughout BC,” says Lana Denoni, Chair of TIABC, the Tourism Industry Association of British Columbia.
British Columbia’s loca-tion, bordered by the Rocky Mountains on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west, makes it unique within Can-ada. Its mountain and coastal scenery, opportunities for summer sailing, winter ski-ing, and other activities such as fishing or sightseeing in coastal or inland waters or experiencing our vibrant cit-ies all make us a world-class destination.
Tourism helps to diver-sify our economy and also brings new community ser-vices to permanent residents.
BC’s tourism and hospi-
tality industry is now the sin-gle largest “primary resource industry” in the province, generating an annual real GDP ($2002) of more than $6.4 billion in 2010, ahead of forestry, mining, oil and gas extraction, and agriculture.
Tourism and hospitality generated $13.4 billion in an-nual revenue in 2010. Over-all, between 2004 and 2010, industry revenues grew by a total of 25.5 per cent, rep-resenting an average annual growth rate of 4.2 per cent.
The provincial govern-ment’s Gaining the Edge: A Five-year Strategy for Tour-ism in British Columbia tar-gets revenue growth of five per cent a year that will top $18 billion in tourism spend-ing by 2016.
The fastest growing sec-tors for tourism job growth over the next decade are ex-pected to be recreation and entertainment and travel ser-vices.
There are an estimated 17,943 tourism-related busi-nesses across the province, employing about 260,000 workers, or 10.8 per cent of B.C.’s total labour force of
2.4 million people. More than 80 per cent
of tourism’s new job open-ings are projected to come in Food and Beverage Ser-vices (43,410 openings), Recreation and Entertain-ment (20,530 openings) and the Accommodation sector (18,920 openings).
“After several years of slow labour growth, the tour-ism industry is poised to expand,” said Arlene Keis, Chief Executive Officer of go2. “Labour shortages are al-ready being felt in places like Northern B.C., the Thompson Okanagan and in the Rockies regions. By 2016, the crunch will be more acute through-out the province.”
“The tourism industry of-ten provides people with their important first job and sets them on their career path,” said Keis. “Tourism is also the largest employer of youth, with one in four British Co-lumbians under the age of 24 working in the industry.”
“This anticipated growth in tourism reinforces the need to plan carefully and ensure that there are enough work-ers with the right skills in the
right communities to meet the tourism in-dustry’s future labour needs,” said Keis.
Boomer Gaye Dolezal of Sidney, BC says “Working part-time in Tourism In-formation was a fun
way for me to use my great knowledge of Canadian cities. I of-ten astounded visitors with the connections I could make to their hometowns.” She adds “People like to feel like welcome guests, not just tourists.”

Clair Arnold Robertson, Jr.
If the measure of a man is his ability to relate to a child, then the world lost a giant on October 30th. Clair Robertson played many roles – amateur thespian, part-time cowboy, long-haul truck driver - in his 72 years but none as important as the one he valued and cherished to the end, as playmate to his adoring grandsons: Ethan, Gavin, Heath and Hunter. Despite many years of physical pain and discomfort, he always found the time (even from his bed) to be an underdog Storm Trooper, the menacing General Grievous, or – if his boys were feeling generous – the wise Obi-Wan.Clair was born in Bloomfi eld, ON but lived most of his adult life in Kitimat, BC. He was a proud member of the Kitimat Fire Department for 19 years (the department fl ag fl ew at half-mast in his honour on October 31st) and was known in the community for his generosity of spirit and time. At Christmas, he was Santa Claus in the mall, on his days off he was a bus driver for school sports teams and the hospital’s long-term care ward, he was the community’s Citizen of the Year in 1983, and in 1992 he was awarded a Confederation of Canada medal for his “signifi cant contribution to his fellow citizens, his community, and the country”.While fl owers are appreciated (and will be thoroughly enjoyed), Clair would have been grateful, instead, for donations made to the Northern Lights Wildlife Society in Smithers, BC (www.wildlifeshelter.com). Northern Lights is dedicated to giving injured and/or orphaned wildlife a second chance at survival and was a great source of inspiration for Clair. He spent much time there as a volunteer and even animal re-locator (once driving a rehabilitated bear from Smithers to the Sunshine Coast).Clair is survived by, and leaves a lasting impression on the lives of his brothers Mel (Joy) and Ken (Joan) Robertson, his wife, Rita, his children Tracey (Blaine Moore), Danny (Stephanie), and “his boys”, Ethan, Gavin, Heath and Hunter.
“I will miss playing Star Wars with Grandpa,” Gavin.“Yep, he always let you win,” Ethan.
A celebration of Clair’s life will be held on November 17th in Victoria.

Marlins start off a new season in Prince RupertContributed
The Kitimat Marlins swim club had 15 swimmers attend the � rst regional swim meet of the season in Prince Rupert recently.
With teams from host Prince Rupert, Terrace, Smithers and B.C. powerhouse Prince George also in attendance and the Marlins focussing on their weaker events for the meet, competition was tough. The Marlins held their own though with all 15 swimmers achieving personal best times and many swimmers winning and placing top three in events. For overall points the Marlins � nished third out of the � ve teams
respectively.In the 10 and under girls Hannah Pear-
son (10) continued her rocket rise to the top as she took the silver medal in overall points in the division.
In the 11-12 girls division Kleanza Cathers (12) � nished with a bronze medal in the division.
Achieving the tough task of swim-ming to personal best times in all seven of their individual events were Madison Landry and Nolan Striker.
The Marlins will compete next at the very competitive Prince George Invita-tional in mid November.

The Kitimat Iron Steelers stole the win away from JHW from this Oct. 21 Oldtimers Hockey League game at Tamitik Arena. The � nal score was 2-1 for the Steelers.
Demons shake up RampageSubmitted
The start of this CIHL West Division tilt was delayed for 40 minutes as Tamitik Arena rolled and shifted as Kitimat felt the effects of the 7.7 magnitude earth-quake off the north coast of B.C. How-ever, despite the accompanying tsunami warning, play resumed after the arena was evacuated and of� cials checked for building stability and the ice-making equipment. Players and spectators stood outside while the checks took place.
When the game resumed, Kitimat was off to a fast start with Nick Mar-kowsky opening the scoring at the 2:14 mark of the period, with assists to Jeff Baker and Jeff Mildenberger. It looked like Kitimat would carry the play but a couple of defensive lapses in the remain-der of the third led to goals for Prince Rupert, three minutes apart – a slick un-assisted break-through by Josh Kierce, who beat Tom Mildenberger cleanly with a deke at 9:11 and a quick, neat de� ec-tion by Kory Movald on a Tom Robinson cross ice pass slid past and into the net at 10.24.
The Kitimat defense tightened up and Keano Wilson in the Rampage net seemed well up to the occasion for the
rest of the period. Wilson and Milden-berger in net kept the teams scoreless in the second period as both teams had op-portunities but could not cash in.
A boarding call on Kyle Boudreault just 34 seconds into the third period put Kitimat shorthanded and Rupert tried to use the opportunity to add to their lead. But it was a breakaway goal by Josh Slanina, (Jeff Mildenberger, Dave Ven-man) that pulled Kitimat level at 2 – 2.
Both teams had opportunities to win the game in a back and forth effort but shots were blocked, missed or stopped and the � nal whistle left the teams tied.
With the early game delay and the shootout, the Rampage players were con-cerned about getting home to see what was happening in Prince Rupert, post earthquake.
The shootout went this way: Rupert shooters Kory Movald went � rst, and found the twine behind Mildenberger while Brandon Wakita was stopped by Wilson. However the score was evened up again by Josh Slanina, shooting sec-ond for Kitimat, after Josh Keirce failed to score.
Rupert players Jared Meers and Bryan Tates also failed to beat Tommy
Mildenberger and Jeff Mildenberger at the other end was stopped by Wilson be-fore Steven Venman showed some good hands scoring to break the tie and give Kitimat the two points from the win.
Prince Rupert went home from its weekend trip with the single point from shootout loss to add to the two points earned on Friday night fro m a 5-4 shoot-out win over Terrace River Kings.
In other CIHL action Saturday, the Smithers Steelheads remained in � rst place in the league, with 10 points from � ve wins, after beating Quesnel 5-1 in Quesnel, while the Lac La Hache Toma-hawks earned a 5-4 home win over the Houston Luckies. In the other game the Williams Lake Stampeders also � nished with a 5-1 home ice win over the Omin-eca Ice.
In Sunday games Smithers Steel-heads won a tight one, 3-1 in Williams Lake against the Stampeders to remain undefeated, the Lac La Hache Toma-hawks showed they will be a real pres-ence this season, with a 6-2 win over the Omineca Ice in Lac La Hache and in Quesnel the Houston Luckies fought throughout, but ran out of skaters, losing 9-3.

Tankers will reduce speeds in the channels…Tankers travel slowly, but to make sure that marine species and their habitats are respected, tankers will be required to reduce speed as they pass through certain sections of the channels. Even their escort tugboats will have quieter engines to reduce underwater noise.
Additional radar and navigational aids will improve safety for all vessels…For increased safety and sure guidance, additional radar systems and navigational
aids, such as beacons, buoys and lights, will be installed throughout the routes. This will not
only improve safety for tankers, but for all marine traffi c on the north coast.
Discover more about our rigorous marine safety plan and join the conversation at marine.northerngateway.ca.
Although tankers have been safely navigating the north coast and its channels for decades, marine safety remains a top priority for British Columbians. We have been planning the Northern Gateway Project for over a decade, with a particular focus on protecting the environment. We have added specifi c safety requirements to our marine operations plan to help
make the waters of the north coast safer not just for tankers serving the project, but for all marine vessels.
Qualifi ed BC Coast Pilots will board and guide all tankers… To prevent spills, all tankers
serving the project will be modern and double-hulled, and will be vetted
by independent, third party agencies before entering Canadian waters.
Once strict safety and environmental standards
are met, they will be guided through the Douglas and Principe Channels by qualifi ed BC Coast Pilots.
Powerful tugboats will escort tankers…Tugboats have been shown to signifi cantly reduce tanker incidents worldwide. Powerful tugboats that have
been specially commissioned for Northern Gateway will assist in the
safe arrival and departure of tankers. All tankers will be attended by a close escort tug. In the channels, laden tankers will have two tugs–one tethered at all times. These tugboats will
have emergency response equipment on board and will be capable of assisting any marine vessel.
