Beautiful
Sunsets as play strong light and showers |

But 3rd
Avenue almost empty of cruise ship tourists – moving the Farmers Market might
not have been such a good idea |

Rudy Kelly
to get Civic Center Administrator job |
|
I hear he is to start
on the 13th of June --- good move on the City’s part --- sure he
may not have all those administrative credentials – but he does have strong
links to youth and sports sector. His former job was with Friendship House
--- There was always the impression that Civic Center was becoming a ‘Country
Club’ with poorer youth marginalized into taking charity for access (‘Everyone gets to Play program’) – that
while the City and RCMP got free use of facilities --- hopefully things will
change for better |
|
Doesn’t look
adequate for the job – Subsequently City told me that foundation will be
upgraded and this only temporary |
On street
Patios ---new one being constructed at Coast Hotel |
|
|
|
|
While the use
of street patios somewhat controversial (my 2004
story)--- (using public space for business purposes) --- still there is a
yearly charge |
|
See
my 2005 previous where the charge 2$/ sq
foot per ‘term’ --- I am told the Rupert Hotel bar site will pay a fee –
though smaller square footage than Rain --- the latter has gone out of
business – and may not have paid last year’s fee – but presumably goes
against taxes – and presumably the fee continues (against property owner)
even though no business present |

From Long-Term
Wastewater Treatment Effectiveness of a Northern Wisconsin Peatland --Dale S.
Nichols* and Dale A. Higgins |
Using North Coast
Peatlands for Sewage Treatment |
|
See my previous
where discussed-- first gave
an overview and then where look at one
of the key studies (left) --- First Dodge Cove and Oona River will be
using secondary treatment --- thus hopefully only the clearest water taken
from settling tanks and spread out on Peatland --- where the oxygen deficient
bog water will denitrify
the effluent (Wikipedia article) --- (removing the Phosphorus more
problematic) Here I won’t go into longer term etc – (nutrient rich water will
change the bog ecosystem in a few years etc) – here I wish only to contrast
with the City Sewage treatment study where they too are foreseeing secondary
treatment in the not too far future (maybe) |
|
|
Dodge Cove wants to
remove as many nutrients as possible (using local bogs) – while Rupert will put
its UV treated secondary treatment effluent directly into harbour --- Both
‘solutions’ have problems --- I suggest we have little info about deeper
waters in Prince Rupert harbour – and how
well they are flushed (pun intended) See my earlier
where harbour geography discussed etc: Harbour System
is complex – and Image left is to show
how nutrient poor Prince Rupert soils – thus a shame that ‘we’ can’t put more
emphasis upon collecting our ‘night soil’ and recycling it into our ecosystem

Here is

I will
