Crash claims second victim

A second person has died as a result of a four-vehicle crash near Fraser Lake Monday. The collision occurred when the driver of a westbound Jeep Grand Cherokee, with two occupants, crossed the centre line into the path of an eastbound Toyota Tercel, with one occupant. After colliding with the Toyota, the Jeep Cherokee was pushed back and into the path of an eastbound commercial truck/ trailer unit, which was following the Toyota Tercel. The eastbound commercial truck and trailer was then struck from behind by an eastbound commercial crane unit. The male driver of the Toyota Tercel, a resident of Fraser Lake, was pronounced deceased at the hospital.

One of the female occupants of the Jeep Cherokee has now succumbed to the injuries sustained in the collision. She died after being transported to Vancouver General Hospital and receiving medical treatment. The second female critically injured occupant in the Jeep Cherokee remains in stable condition in the hospital in Vancouver. The two female occupants were related to one another as mother and daughter and were from Prince George. The two commercial vehicles had one occupant in each. There were no injuries to either of the commercial vehicle drivers. The investigation will continue, to establish the causal factors in this collision. The investigators are looking into a number of considerations, which may have con-

tributed or caused this collision. It is too early for investigators to make any comments relative to the causal factors in this incident. Weather, road conditions, distractions and vehicle mechanical condition are amongst the considerations being examined. The Vanderhoof Unit of the Prince George Regional Provincial Traffic Services is investigating this crash with the assistance of the Fraser Lake RCMP Detachment and the BC Coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Service. Anyone who may have witnessed the crash or may have any information for the police in this investigation are asked to call the Fraser Lake RCMP Detachment at (250) 699-7777 or the Vanderhoof Traffic Services Unit at (250) 567-2222.

Council mulls core review options

DeLynda Pilon

newsroom@pgfreepress.com

Though they didn’t ask council to cancel Christmas, KPMG’s list of suggestions within the draft of the core services review’s final report contained some ideas that seemed extreme. For example, the suggestion to lower service levels for snow removal was vetoed unanimously by council. Another suggestion, however, to lower the number of councillors representing the citizen’s of the city from eight to six will be discussed further. “Council is not making decisions today,” Mayor Shari Green, who chairs the select committee on the core services review, pointed out Friday before KPMG presented its final report. Rather, the committee members along with the rest of council who attended the meeting perused chapters five through 13 in the report, deciding which suggestions could be acted on readily and therefore would be forwarded for further discussion at the Nov. 14 committee of the whole meeting. Several suggested land sales, from the Pine Valley Golf Course to the Civic Centre will be discussed further at the upcoming meeting. The report suggests one option for the city is to terminate operating Pine Valley as a golf course and develop it for sale instead. Although KPMG did not estimate the actual economic benefits of the Civic Centre, the company did mention its usefulness in attracting functions. Green said she understands most municipalities don’t operate a civic centre, however she is aware the facility is an economic driver downtown.

The report states: “The goal is to retain the availability of the PGCC for community based functions and as an attraction to bring events to Prince George and support the role of gateway to northern British Columbia as well as related economic and business development while reducing or eliminating the net cost to the city and property tax payers.” Continuing to support the venue in a diminished capacity while allowing an organization like Tourism Prince George to take over was one of the various ideas presented in the report. The report also suggests a merit based approach be taken when it comes to tax exemptions for not-for-profit organizations. Coun. Cameron Stolz pointed out council recently discussed tax exemption issues at a previous meeting and is working on a solution. Coun. Albert Koehler agreed and added there is a lot of work to be done yet and said the suggestion should not come before the committee-of-the-whole meeting, but rather be left for a future talk. Bylaw enforcement changes opened a discussion of suggestions that ranged from outsourcing to scheduling enforcement for the evenings. Downtown parking and how it should be enforced, from using a boot to curtail a vehicle moving until a fine is paid to ensuring the fine is paid with the tow bill after a car has been impounded, was briefly discussed. “We need to be more pro-active. I think common sense should direct us,” Coun. Dave Wilbur said. Stolz pointed out that council was already looking into certain bylaw enforcement items and a report on them was expected soon. Several other points will be discussed at the meeting.

Recreational fees also came under discussion, with council concerned that an increase in prices would dissuade families from using the facilities. Green said ensuring youth had ice time is important, however council could consider raising fees for adults, exploring a pay to play ideology. Closing the Four Seasons Pool or bringing in a third party operator, like the YMCA, to take it over, were among other suggestions in the report. “If they can’t recover the cost, what would be the advantage for them?” Coun. Murry Krause asked. He was told the YMCA offers pool services in many of its locations. Stolz said the idea of bringing in a third party operator was worth a discussion. The item will be looked at further during the Nov. 14 meeting. Working with the province to get a better price on asphalt or supplying the product through a portable unit, ideas council was already grappling with, were included in the report. Waste collection overflow fees and outsourcing a door to door recycling program were other suggestions in the public works chapter of the report. A miscellaneous chapter including a variety of other suggestions, from fleet recommendations to ideas about transit will be discussed at a future meeting. The results of the discussion of the various items the committee chose to forward to the committee-of-the-whole meeting will then be forwarded to the following council meeting. The rest of the suggestions, most of which could not be implemented right away, will be investigated at greater depth at a future meeting.

Enbridge willing to look at details

DeLynda Pilon

newsroom@pgfxreepress.com

Enbridge panel experts were questioned once again Monday about the lack of detail in certain parts of the plans they’ve filed, only to remind interveners the level of detail required at this stage has been met. A few quick questions regarding the mitigation of the effects of the Northern Gateway pipeline on the Daiya-Matess Keyoh were put to the expert panel members at the joint review hearings for the Northern Gateway pipeline Monday afternoon. Jim Monroe, speaking on behalf of the Daiya-Matess Keyoh, wondered if Enbridge continued to maintain that none of the areas, activities, species, sites, systems, practices or other rights required further mitigation mea-

sures beyond those already proposed. Paul Anderson, Enbridge expert, said the mitigation measures, in a general way, would be sufficient. From an environmental perspective, he said, any issues next to the Keyoh can be mitigated. However, he added the assessment looked at the area in a very general way. The next step is to get more details and plan out exactly what would be done to mitigate the effects of the pipeline, kilometre pole by kilometre pole, deciding on site specific measures based on site specific information. “That’ll involve doing centre line surveys to look at everything that would be on the proposed center line and really nailing down the exact centre line,” Anderson said. However, generally, they see nothing that

can’t be mitigated. “But in a general way there isn’t anything specific in that area that we don’t think can’t be mitigated through the measures that we’ve put together in our Volume 7,” he said. Monroe then asked how long it would take to complete the further assessment required to put together specific mitigation measures. “The detailed routing of the pipeline occurs or will occur post-certificate. So once we receive the National Energy Board certificate, we would proceed through detailed engineering and detailed design and really nail down that routing. And that’s when we do the detailed centre line surveys and some of the other things that I’ve spoken about,” Anderson said.

Fort Nelson airport small, but very busy

This August, the Northern Rockies Regional Airport (YYE) in Fort Nelson was the busiest small (Tier 2) airport in Canada, with more aircraft movements than were experienced in much larger centres. YYE services the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality (with a population of less than 6,000 people) and the Horn, Liard and Cordova Shale Gas developments. Even with the extremely low natural gas prices, YYE recorded its busiest season ever with 4,053 movements in July and 3,875 movements in August. According to aircraft movement statistics recorded by NAV Canada, YYE had more air traffic than any other Tier 2 airport (airports with flight service stations) including Fort St John, Grande Prairie,

Prince George, and even Ottawa Ontario. YYE also tallied more itinerant movements, composed mostly of Scheduled and Charter Aircraft, (flights from one airport to another) than 13 of 42 Tier 1 airports (airports with Air Traffic Control such as Abbotsford, Whitehorse and Hamilton International Airports), ranking it as the 29th busiest airport in Canada. The airport has seen dramatic climb in traffic in the past decade: an increase of 59 percent in the last six years alone. Upgrading and expansion is now crucial to bring YYE’s aging infrastructure to a level at which current activity can be sustained. Both the terminal and aprons often operate beyond their designed capacity during peak times.

The UNBC Timberwolves didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the start to their inaugural Canada West regular season they wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve preferred. Swept by the TRU WolfPack in Kamloops on the weekend, UNBC sports a 0-2 record entering its home-opening doubleheader against Trinity Western (Friday and Saturday, 6 p.m. at the NSC). If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a positive to their position, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that three other Pacific Division teams are also at 0-2: Trinity Western, Mount Royal and UBC-Okanagan. The WolfPack outscored the Timberwolves 78-61 on Friday and 83-62 on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came out really, really poor (Saturday),â&#x20AC;? Timberwolves head coach Loralyn Murdoch stated in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we were mentally prepared. We played a better second half but we were too undisciplined in the first half to make any run at it.â&#x20AC;? WolfPack fifth-year post Diane Schuetze recorded a double-double with 18 points and 18 rebounds. She also had six assists and five blocks. Teammate Jen Ju, a fourth-year guard, recorded a game-high 27 points. Fourth-year guard Mercedes Van Koughnett led UNBC on Saturday with 23 points. With 11 rebounds, she also collected a double-double.

Singer-songwriter sets weekly date for music at local club

Teresa Mallam arts@pgfreepress.com

She has songs in her heart and jazz tunes that she wants Prince George audiences to hear. Ali Henry is a formally trained jazz vocalist who mixes it up with traditional and timeless jazz, Blues and Bossa Nova standards to create a fusion of melodic creativity with a chic, classy and progressive sound. Learning lyrics in different languages come easily to her as a biologist and vocalist. Henry has carved out a musical niche for herself locally and she hopes that her unique song stylings will bring back jazz to the city. “I work at this full time so I really put myself into it.

left the city [for example Maureen Washington who lives in Victoria] and I want to bring back that 1930s kind of vibe in Prince George,” Henry told the Free Press Tuesday. “I’ve recently formed a duo with Eric Tompkins and we’ll be performing jazz music at The Twisted Cork every Thursday.” Her website describes her style: “Music, etched upon her soul, is used as her primary form of expression, emotional translation and perception. Exposed vulnerability, oneness with the music and correctedness to self, delivers not only sound to an audience but the opportunity for others to receive and tune into new frequencies of energy and endless possibility concerning inner realization.

Henry lives with her husband, a biology professor at UNBC, and the couple’s toddler and, while it’s a busy life, the singer songwriter wouldn’t have it any other way. She plans to tour western Canada in the future and perhaps move to Shanghai, China. “I’m already working on my new album which will have some of my original songs on it and will be out in 2013. I’m really looking forward to it.” Starting Nov. 29 newly formed jazz duo with guitarist Eric Tompkins and Ali Henry will be at the Twisted Cork every Thursday from 7 to 10 p.m.
