day it had struck a deal with the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to build a new integrated traffic signal similar to the one on Kenney St., and will share the $350,000 cost. Once these new traffic lights get installed next spring, the final restriction on long truck traffic crossing northbound will be lifted as well. “Very, very good. Excellent work,” mayor David Pernarowski said, congratulating council and staff for their behind-thescenes negotiating with government. The Frank St. rail crossing has been closed since June 11 when CN Rail responded to an order from Transport Canada to block it following two near miss incidences between trains and trucks stopped on the crossing.

On July 23, the city installed signs along Frank St. to notify drivers about the continued restriction on long trucks. The signs were up and bagged temporarily until the government gave the official goahead, which it can do now that council has passed the recommendation. There was some discussion during the council meeting about enforcement. Councillor Bruce Bidgood asked if there are any special requirements about policing to make sure the remaining traffic restriction is being heeded. “That was not a requirement from Transport Canada,” Avison said. “They did not raise that issue in the discussion.” Councillor James Cordeiro asked if Transport Canada might

order the block again to CN if drivers disobey the new signs. “If it does become an issue of compliance with the signage, is there a possibility that it could be revoked and the section re-closed completely?” he said. Avison responded that, “If there were another incident, yeah, they would likely reissue the order.” Pernarowski added that spring 2014 is the most likely start date for construction of the new traffic lights, but that council will bring the matter up at a planned meeting with Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure officials in the fall. “We will certainly have some conversation about that at the UBCM convention... to see if there is any way to expedite [this process],” he said.

Old pulp mill land still not for sale By Quinn Bender

The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Rupert may have to wait a couple more years before they can sell the potentially-lucrative lands at the old Skeena Cellulose Pulp Mill. A BC Supreme Court struck down Sun Wave’s petition to nullify the city’s tax sale and return the lands, but the Chinese-owned company has already filed a notice of appeal, that prohibits the city from putting the site up for sale. Should this latest appeal fail, Sun Wave has one final option with the Supreme Court of Canada. It’s unlikely the company will be granted that step as it’s very difficult to get leave for Canada’s highest court, but if they do it could be two years before the city can put the legal wrangle behind them. The city has disputed ownership of the lands on Watson Island since 2010. “Someone’s always got the right of appeal,” says Prince Rupert mayor Jack Mussallem, “and therein lies the problem. First and foremost, the city has won three times now. I think in the eyes of the law it’s

pretty conclusive.” Faced with the potential of a years-long wait before the appeals processes runs its course, Mussallem is pushing forward on a resolution with the BC Union of Municipalities to change legislation so litigation like this doesn’t prove so crippling to municipal budgets. He says the city has paid approximately $250,000 on each of Sun Wave’s appeals. In the meantime, Mussallem is also pursuing the BC minister responsible for municipal affairs to use provisions under the Municipal Enabling and Validating Act to force an end to Sun Wave’s appeals. “It’s gone through the legal process enough times, that it’s now starting to be considered an abuse of the legal process. Enough is enough.” In 2006 the City approved a multi-million-dollar tax break to help Sun Wave restart the shuttered pulp mill on Watson Island, but when the company stalled on their commitments the city seized the property for unpaid taxes, after amending the tax bylaw that paved the way for the tax break. The City wants to sell the land to a consortium of stakeholders for a new industrial park and port facility, but that can’t happen until SunWave’s lawsuits are resolved.

District of Kitimat considers second bridge By Cameron Orr

1991 for the Ministry of Transportation. That 1991 study concluded the town did not need a second crossing. The last study followed heavy construction in Kitimat during the 1980s. “The traffic in 1981 when Ocelot was being constructed was a much larger effect on our community than with the construction so far today,” he said, noting that traffic could have been backed up from the Service Centre to Haisla Hill. An attempt to refer the motion to following the council’s strategic planning meeting failed, and the motion to do the study passed, with Mario Feldhoff and Phil Germuth opposed.

KITIMAT - District of Kitimat staff will gather statistics on how well used Haisla Bridge is. Councillor Mary Murphy put forward the motion, in the hopes the information gathered could be brought to higher levels of government for future discussions on whether Kitimat should build a second river crossing. The talk of needing a second Kitimat River crossing has been rising over the past several months, after the issue went quiet following a 1991 report saying the town didn’t need one. But with construction and proposed more construction coming for across the river, the topic has been coming up again. Murphy said she’s been seeing, especially through social media, many people talking about a bridge. Not everyone was in favour of rushing into an investigation into a bridge. Mario Feldhoff said council should hold off for the time being. “What we’re doing is putting staff resources into this,” he said. “Is this more important than some other things we’ve discussed?”

He noted an upcoming strategic planning meeting with councillors regarding LNG impacts, and said they should talk about the issue further there, before committing staff time to the study. “We don’t have the money to paint the existing bridge right now,” he added. “We need to engage the province and put in our prioritization list.” Murphy noted that while the bridge has handled heavy loads of traffic for years, she’d still rather see a study for its current use. Director of Engineering Tim Gleig told councillors that there had been two studies for a second bridge, one in 1970 and another in

PRINCE RUPERT - The Prince Rupert and Region Music Society raised $1,135 for the Charles Hays Secondary School Music Studio at the Summer Swing Dance held on Saturday, July 20. The 18-piece Muskeg Swing Band provided entertainment for the dance, lead by Peter Witherly. The group consists of saxophone, trumpet, trombones, piano, guitar, bass, and percussion players mainly from Prince Rupert. Three Terrace musicians travelled to Prince Rupert to lend a hand in Saturday’s show. The Prince Rupert and Region Music Society has held a number of fund-raising events for the Music Studio since the project was announced. The group will be able to utilize the studio once complete, allowing for more freedom in musical groups practicing schedules. Currently students in Prince Rupert’s school district and members of community music groups must all share the band room at Prince Rupert Middle School.

Kitimat Celebrates Charles William Digby Clifford

For information call:

Years

1953 - 2013

(1842-1916) Walter Thorne

itimat’s first big promoter was Charles Clifford. He was an entrepreneur/politician who had great faith in Kitimat’s future. But who was this man who has a Kitimat street named in his honour? Mr. Clifford was an Englishman born in Sittingborne, Kent in 1842. His reverend father was a vicar whose religious ways may have contributed to his son’s rebellious nature, independent thinking, and decision to immigrate to Canada. After marriage to Harriet Young, a Catholic Irish woman, further aggravating his Anglican father, Clifford became a manager with the Hudson Bay Company, taking up a variety of posts in Canada’s

As an MLA, he became Early on he became firmly entrenched in a fierce politics. He was officially a Conservative and promoter of eventually became a three term Member of the the North and B.C. Legislature. As an MLA, he became a fierce in particular, promoter of the North and in particular, Kitimat. In those days you could ignore conflict of interest Kitimat. concerns. Twice, Clifford was an MLA for Cassiar and in 1903 he was elected in the new riding of Skeena, with 197 votes. He was a member of Premier Richard McBride’s government, earning an impressive 800 dollars per year as pay for being an MLA. Clifford was a landowner, purchasing land at the north west corner of Douglas Channel, including the present day area of Moon Bay, the barge terminal, and Alcan Beach. Despite his religious upbringing, Clifford had no problem profiting from liquor. He built the first Kitimat Hotel, a seven room structure near the Anderson Farm. According to Gordon Robinson in a 1956 Northern Sentinel article, liquor could be purchased by the glass, crate, or barrel. His wharf, which was likely built with government money, was located close to Moon Bay. Clifford gambled heavily on Kitimat becoming the terminus of the northern railroad from Ontario and the Atlantic coast. Besides his wharf and hotel, he helped develop plans for the

townsite at Minette Bay (the inner harbour). He was a partner in the KitimatCharles William Digby Clifford Omineca rail line proposal October 14, 1842 - May 10, 1916 and helped with obtaining improvements on the mail route trail through to Lakelse and Terrace. Two improvements were the cablecar ferries across the Kitimat, one of them at Chist Creek. In 1907 Clifford’s plans came crashing down when Prince Rupert, not Kitimat was chosen terminus for the Grand Trunk Pacific. By then, he was a 65 year old retired MLA. He lived on another nine years, dying in Victoria at the age of 74. Clifford’s greatest contribution was the confidence and vision he had for Kitimat’s future as a port. Unfortunately, he never did witness the success that he knew was inevitable. Today, Clifford’s assets within the valley are all erased. The wharf disappeared in one particularly heavy winter storm, his hotel was dismantled by a disapproving, pioneer rancher, George Anderson, and the mail route he helped to improve became obsolete and was swallowed by the encroaching rain forest. Charles Clifford’s picture is proudly displayed in the pioneer settlement section at Kitimat Museum and Archives. Pictures of his hotel and wharf are also available in the Kitimat Archives. Additional information is available through the Library at the Legislature in Victoria.

Boarding soon: WestJet flight Terrace to YVR By Amara Janssens

The Northern connector

TERRACE - One more airline will be flying northwest skies this fall, with WestJet announcing that they will, for the first time ever, be offering flights between Vancouver and Terrace beginning late November.

Twice daily flights on WestJet’s newest Bombardier Q400 NextGen turboprop aircraft will be offered as of November 25, 2013, said the July 22 announcement, released by the Northwest Regional Airport and WestJet. The growth of natural resources and de-

velopment in the region drove the decision to bring in the new flights, said WestJet, which also noted the diverse economic projects around the region. “The Terrace-Kitimat Airport Society welcomes WestJet Encore as the newest partner providing service to

northwest British Columbia. The addition of Encore service completes another step in becoming the true Northwest Regional Airport,” said airport manager Carman Hendry. And this could mean lower prices for passengers. “It will bring prices

down, we’re seeing that in Fort St. John,” Diane Francis, owner of Uniglobe Courtesy Travel said, as other airlines price match. WestJet’s Fort St. John flight was one of

the first destinations announced for the Encore service launched in February of this year providing service to and from smaller communities in British Columbia. “We’re seeing some

great prices for Vegas and Mexico this winter,” Francis said. The biggest way this service is reducing costs is the elimination of overnighting in Vancouver, Francis explained.

If it’s electronic, Return-It and recycle it TM

You can recycle virtually all of your unwanted electronics. Gaming systems, calculators, electronic musical instruments and now e-toys. Environmental The Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA) is a not-for-profi t extended producer responsibility program that responsibly recycles your unwanted electronic products. Running the Return-It Electronics™ program for EPRA is Encorp Pacific (Canada). Encorp manages the electronics stewardship program, with 152 Return-It™ collection sites across BC. As of August 1st, 2013, collection sites will also be accepting electronic toys for recycling. This will include remote control vehicles, handheld gaming devices, battery powered ride-on toys and more (for a full list of accepted products, visit return-it.ca/electronics/products). Because of the growing Return-ItTM recycling network, consumers and businesses in BC have an environmentally sound recycling option for all of their unwanted electronics. Drop-off at designated Return-ItTM sites is free of charge, as an Environmental Handling Fee (EHF) is paid at the time the products were purchased. The EHF is used to cover the cost of responsibly recycling all unwanted electronics, and includes items purchased many years ago before the EHF existed. Since EPRA’s program began in 2007, more than 94,000 metric tonnes of unwanted electronics have been recycled. That’s over 20 kilograms per person that did not end up in our landfills and were not exported illegally to become someone else’s problem. Electronics collected in BC for recycling are sent to approved recyclers in North America where they are broken down using various manual and mechanical processes. Products like batteries and mercury lamps, which require special processing to recover materials,

Through a variety of refining and smelting processes, the materials reclaimed from unwanted electronics are used as raw materials in the manufacturing of new products. Research shows that roughly 87% of BC households have at least one obsolete electronic item sitting around. While the program is designed to recycle products that have exhausted their reuse

potential, it’s important to try reusing your products first. Ask family members if they have a need for your unwanted items, or donate them to a local charity – just make sure to check with your chosen charity first, to confirm they have a need for your items and how they plan to dispose of the items that are no longer useful. Have a look around your home, if you have any unwanted electronics collecting dust, return them to your nearest Return-ItTM collection site to be recycled.

RCMP warning public of telephone scam By Martina Perry The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT The RCMP are reminding people to keep their personal information private following a recent telephone scam of a Prince Rupert resident. “The Prince Rupert RCMP wants to warn the community of this suspected phone scam to prevent any further victimization. One of the best precautions one can take is to never give out personal information over the phone, internet, or to people you don’t know or trust,” Const. Matt Ericson, spokesperson for the Prince Rupert RCMP, said. The Prince Rupert RCMP Detachment received a complaint on July 5 regarding a suspected swindle that cost the victim more than $150. A male resident of Prince Rupert told RCMP he received a telephone call from two individuals posing as affiliates to Microsoft. During the conversation the alleged scammers, which the victim said sounded Indo-Canadian in ethnicity, offered to “clean up” the person’s computer to help it run faster. The callers originally said the service was free of charge, but when they were granted remote

access to the computer they requested the complainant pay $159 to repair the issues they discovered. The victim paid the amount on a major credit card, and was told the process would take time to complete. After noticing changes hadn’t been made later that day, the complainant contacted RCMP. Ericson said there has only been the one scamming incident in Prince Rupert, however RCMP around the province have been advised of very similar complaints from members of the public. RCMP want to remind the public to never give any personal information over the phone, internet or unknown people. “In this day and age information is very valuable and sensitive in nature,” said Ericson. Citizens can report attempted frauds, actual fraud or suspicious correspondence to PhoneBusters toll free at 1 (888) 495-8501, by emailing info@phonebusters.com, or by fax at 1 (888) 654-9426. Anyone with information regarding this incident or similar ones is encouraged to call the Prince Rupert RCMP at (250) 6270700 or Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222TIPS (8477).

Heritage signs go up on Hwy 37 By Anna Killen

FURLONG CAMPGROUNDS

The Northern connector

TERRACE - It’s a bit easier to learn about the region’s history, thanks to four new signs erected on Hwy 37 last week. The Regional District of Kitimat Stikine erected the signs in order to bring awareness to some of the 11 heritage sites the district has added to its registry since the Heritage Conservation Service was created in 2005. The signs are for the four most northern heritage sites in the district. Three of the interpretive signs were paid for through a grant from the Heritage Legacy Fund under the Heritage Awareness Program. And a fourth, telling the history of the Yukon Telegraph Line & Trail, was funded by BC Hydro as compensation for the Northwest Transmission Line crossing the Yukon Telegraph Line in the Ningunsaw Pass near Bell II. “These four heritage interpretive sign will provide the resident and tourist traveler of this highway with a greater understanding and appreciation of the region and its history,” said Ken Newman, planner for the regional district. He details the signs below: “The first sign is for the Meziadin Fish Lad-

There has been some form of a fish ladder on the Meziadin River since 1916. The second sign is only about 40 km north on Hwy 37 at the Bell 1 rest stop and tells the story of Simon Gunanoot and his epic tale of living in the wilderness with his family for 13 years and avoiding capture for the alleged murder of two men in Hazelton. His grave site at nearby Bowser Lake is the heritage site recognized by the district. The third sign is located at a Hwy 37 rest

stop near Bob Quinn Lake. This sign tells the history of the Yukon Telegraph Line and relates the story of some of the men (including lineman Bob Quinn) who lived in remote cabins and maintained the line for the Dominion Telegraph Service. Associated with the line was a trail used by the men to service the telegraph line but it was also a vital transportation link to many a wilderness traveler long before there was a highway. Today Hwy 37 parallels much of the telegraph trail/line from Bell 2 to Eastman Creek. The final sign was located on the edge of the Stikine River in the

historic community of Telegraph Creek. Long before Dease Lake was a community Telegraph Creek was the hub in the northwest. As the head of navigation on the Stikine it was a jumping off point for those heading to the northern interior of BC. It was also part of a major route for many gold seekers during the Klondike Gold Rush and the community received its name as a result of one failed and one successful attempt to construct of a telegraph line.” More information about the heritage sites can be found in the culture and heritage section of the district’s website at www.rdks.bc.ca.

Hawkair flight declares an emergency By Martina Perry The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT Passengers flying from Vancouver to Prince Rupert on July 14 received a scare when the DeHavilland Dash-8 (DHC-8) aircraft they were travelling on declared an emergency and had to turn around and land in Vancouver. John Cottreau, manager of media relations at the Transportation Safety Board, said the Hawkair DHC-8 aircraft was about 600 feet above sea level after take-off from Vancouver when an issue arose. The plane’s torque, fuel flow and power turbine speed began to decrease on the No. 2 engine. With that, the DHC-8’s propeller auto-feathered. “Propellers can change their pitch so that they’re either gathering more air or less air. They can either slice into the air better which provides torque, or they can feather [where] they go into a neutral position and basically become fans,” Cottreau said. “They keep turning but they’re not producing power for the aircraft... to give lift.” The crew shut the engine down, and with the remaining one engine managed to climb to 1,500 feet above sea level. The crew complet-

ed the “failure in flight” checklist items and then declared an emergency. Cottreau said when an aircraft declares an emergency air traffic control clears the way for the plane to land, putting it as a priority over any other aircraft attempting to occupy the runway. “They got back to [the air traffic control] and were cleared to land in Vancouver where they landed uneventfully,” Cottreau said. After the plane returned to YVR maintenance found and replaced a faulty torque signal condition unit, and the aircraft was reentered into service. Cottreau said he doesn’t want to speculate what could have happened had the failure occurred later in the flight, but focus on the fact that the emergency landing was uneventful. Statistics by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada show there were 260 incidents where Canadian aircrafts declared an emergency in 2012. Aircraft incidents are circumstances where no one is injured.

Friday, August 2 to Sunday, August 11th TERRACE, BC

New: Historic tour of old Pioneer Cemetary By Amara Janssens The Northern connector

TERRACE - The Heritage Park Museum is adding a new historical tour to the River Boat Days festival this year. For the first time, a guided historical tour of the Kitsumgallum Pioneer Cemetery (located off of the Nisga’a Highway) will be offered by the museum. The tours will take place during the afternoon of Sunday, August 11, and during the evening of Tuesday, August 27. Each tour will take approximately 45 minutes to one hour to complete. “This will be the first guided tour offered of the Pioneer Cemetery,” Veronika Kurz, community programmer with Heritage Park Museum said. Tour participants can expect to learn the stories behind well known graves, such as Terrace

founder George Little. The Mills family who was instrumental in the construction of Terrace’s first hospital is also buried in the cemetery, as well as the Franks, a prominent farming family. Kurz will also lead tour guests to one of the cemetery’s larger monuments, which is the site of the Serbian workers who passed away during the fatal Grand Trunk Pacific Tunnel accident on 1911. Additionally, Kurz said many of the people who owned buildings at the Heritage Park Museum are burried in the cemetery, such as the owners of the Kalum Lake Hotel and the dance hall. But the tour will also include a history of some of the lesser known graves. “There’s a lot of people there [at the Pioneer Cemetery] we don’t have information on,”

Kurz said. There are also stories around unmarked children and baby graves which were discovered while the edge of the cliff gave way. “The graveyard started shifting down towards the river,” Kelsey Wiebe curator of Heritage Park Museum said in describing how the unmarked graves were discovered. Terrace’s connections to the First and Second World Wars will also be shared. One such story is of Marino Scirelli, an Italian-Canadian soldier who fought for both Canada and Italy during the First World War. Kurz said he fought with the Italians for two years prior to joining the Canadians. Anyone wanting to attend should register ahead of time by calling the museum at 250-6354546. Tickets are $10, and water will be provided.
