He said Transport Canada’s business plan for the airport would eliminate the $200,000-a-year deficit by 2000. But if the city took it over and wiped out the deficit sooner, it could pocket the $800,000 federal subsidy that will be extended to cover the airport operation for the next four years. That money could then be put ina fund to cover eventual capital improvements like new buildings and runway maintenance, Critics of the airport-devolution plan say it doesn’t provide enough cash for long-term capital works. “But he ‘admitted the cost-cutting plan would mean a reduction in service at the airport, And there’s also some- -thing of a gun to the city’s head as it negoliales. ‘Jones said federal policy is to offer its small airports first to the province, then 10 local governments, then to non- profit boards and commissions, and then finally to individ- uals: and companies, “If the City of Terrace also says no, we will move down the hicrarchy,”’ Jones said. One way or another, he said, either somicone else is going to own the Terrace airport by Mar. 1, 2000 or the airport will be closed. The sooner it happens, the sooner the airports can work on becoming mote viabie. “Think about getting control of your airport before your competitor gets control of his airport,'’ Jones added. The issue of competition is important becawse of the paos- sibility that either the Terrace or Prince Rupert airport might have to close if there isn’t enough business to sustain both. Jones said the competition issue is most acute between airports al Comox and Campbell River, Kelowna and Penticton, and Prince George and Quesnel. He said it is federal government palicy not to pick sides in such issues, but to let the marketplace sort it out. Terrace cily officials want control of the airport, but ihey’re holding out for the province to tum over control of 1,000 acres of land surrounding the airport to the city. The province has said it will lease extra Crown lands around airports in exchange for a share of profils, but has yet to set out specific details of the policy. The land could become a light industrial sile whase tax base would then help pay for the airport operation. In the next century, locals can expect to pay even more to fly than they do today. It’s expected most airports will have place surcharges on passengers that pass through to raise exira moncy. But Jones said airport operating costs could go down somewhat this fall if requirements to maintain separate fire departments at small airports are climinaled as expected, CBC transfers reporter DECADES OF an official news presence for CBC Radio in Prince Rupert have ended with the transfer of its last news reporter there to Vancouver. CBC Radio used to have a fully-fledged radio station in Prince Rupert and a staffed newsroom, Bolh covered the northwest but that ended in 1988 when the CBC moved more than half of its employees out of Prince Rupert to bureaus in Prince George and Kelowna, The bureau in Prince Rupert was left with only one reporter who fed stories into the radio newsroom in Van- couver. That presence began to drop off last year when the reporter spent more time working out of the Vancouver newsroom, CEC official Susan Englebert says that the transfer south of the news reporter shouldn't be taken as a sign thal the corporation is abandoning the north, “We still have the shared morning, show and we will be able to move our resources around the province,’* she said, One plan under consideration is having, morning show employees also do news stories. “The CBC would like to have its workforce be more flexible,’’ Englebert added. But having a moming show person alsu do a news story would cross over wiion jurisdictional lines and that still hasn’t been ironed out yet in contract talks between the CBC and its workers. As it is, CBC employces are scheduled to hold strike votes beginning April 22. Englebert said the CBC Radio will fill ils vacant news position in Prince George and does have a temporary per- son there now, : When filled, that reporter could cover stories in the northwest if need be, she said.
