= TERRACE STANDARD INESS_ EVI Pizza place renos begin - PIZZA HUT in Terrace is undergoing a $300, 000 face lift. The local eatery was pur- chased from the Critchley family by Lloyd and Lana Hull in the summer of 2005. At the time the couple was not sure if they would keep the restaurant where it is or if they would consider mov- _ing it to anew location. Lloyd Hull says the cou- . ple decided to keep the busi-: ness where it is and invest in: ° ” a major renovation that will bring the Terrace location - ° in line with the new look of Pizza Hut i in other areas.

Support for. northern _ power push grows | '.A CAMPAIGN backed by northwestern governments and resource companies to convince the provincial government to extend hydro- electric power. north ‘on Hwy37 continues. Called the’ Coalition ta to’. -. Electrify’ Highway 37, the group has been gathering sig- natures and letters of support in its effort to provide hydro. power for industrial and do- _ mestic use. din. It has also offered to sell - a portion of its project to the Tahitan whose traditional ter- ritory takes in the Red Chris . property. . Preliminary cost - esti- mates to push hydro, power north of Meziadin depend _ upon the size of the line and range from $120 million to- more than $400 million. The lowest cost op- tion features a 138kV line branching off of. the exist- ai: ‘Hydro. power.now.stops:at:.ing. one,,that now stops, af the Meziadin Junction north” of Kitwanga on Hwy37. Past that, communities and com- panies are served by diesel generators. | * One of the principle back- ers of the hydro line push is ‘bcMetals which has the cop- per and gold Red Chris prop- erty just off of Hwy37 south. of Iskut. It has received provincial environmental approval for its mine plan on the condi- tion it cannot proceed unless . hydro is provided north of Meziadin. — “We'll be the first, but others will follow,” bceMetals ' president Ian Smith said. re- . cently of his company’s proj- ect and of the lobbying effort. He said the Red Chris devel- ‘opment, scheduled to cost $228 million with a forecast: life of 25 years, isn’t viable “unless there is hydro power. The company has already lined up (US) $110 million in debt financing through a _United Kingdom bank and has arranged for the sale of copper and gold concentrate. But both of those agreements are contingent upon a provin- cial commitment to. extend hydro power north of Mezia- Meziadin with the most ex- pensive one being a 287kV line of more complexity as it would involve more work at: _ the Skeena hydro substation near Terrace. The coalition favours building the infrastructure . for a 287kKV line but only. - “running through 138kV un- ~ til demand warrants an-in- | crease. Though beMetals has. tagged a late 2007 start date to produce concentrate at its Red Chris property, hydro line construction estimates made by the B.C. Transmis-....... sion Corporation indicate two years of study and prepa- rations would be needed be- fore any construction -could begin.
