We See

Hot & Sunny Thursday --- Rain Friday

City Crews still checking out Sewer lines for Hays Creek Diversion

As said before this is a major project – 5$M budget --- DFO wants the sewer line removed from steam bed of Hays Creek

 

 

 

Looks like project running behind schedule if meant to be tendered in June – and presently not sure where it will go

 

This is from City of Prince Rupert

Stage 2 Liquid Waste Management Plan

The arrow at left shows the approximate area crews are working in (arrow also points to McBride Street) – according to my previous page – sewage catchment area I by far the largest and in area and accounts for 40% of total flows --- it is separated already – more later

 

Mark was located here in 1985 doing local morning shows etc --- Last time I have in PR was in February 2002 discussing Oil & Gas exploration in Hecate

 

 

 

Mark Forsythe in PR Thursday at CBC for BC Almanac show --- discussing closure of PRDN etc

 

 

Prince Rupert has acted as a training ground for many CBC personalities as they gained ‘on the ground’ experience----ditto for the PRDN, which at times brought criticism, especially of latter where journalists often wrote for a cosmopolitan audience rather than locals --- I often attended meetings in past to be ‘surprised’ by the PRDN write up the next day – wondering if they had attended the same meeting I had – often a minor point in the meeting would be main feature of the subsequent story --- perhaps like Bedard’s question about future of print media at Tuesday’s Council meeting becoming the lead story next day etc

 

 

Scooter and sidewalk cutaways

Sidewalk cut aways allow scooter easier trip home

We often see City Crews doing things one has to wonder about --- thus the cut aways below on 2nd West – but then I had chance to observe all the manoeuvring the fellow on scooter had to do just to get across streets at intersection – like finding driveways and thus forced onto highway etc

One of the historical anomalies is that this wooden frame work not done by City Crews but Union fellows – said to date back over a half century agreement etc (I saw an ‘unmarked van’ etc building these)

 

 

 

Road Painting crews

Provincial Road painting crew in town this week adding new directional markings etc

 

 

Sunny Thursday for Cruise ship

And looked to be a successful Farmers’ Market too --- not sure if the 2 door stretch limo had anything to do with Cruise ship etc

 

 

Signs of season

Elderberries turning red very quickly – bird migration period must be approaching
