AG - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, September 14, 1994 | ‘a Happy 25th’ WHAT BEGAN 25 years ago as a small enterprise now covers northwestern B.C, And Petrocan area manager Greg Nanton was on hand last week to present Tymos- chuk Agencies with a 25th anniversary plaque, With Nanton ara Jan and Shannon Tymoschuk. The company has 15 employees in three locations. - TERRACE STANDARD © the airport TRANSPORT CANADA em- ployees at the airport here will soon be keeping a television eye on the Sandspit and Prince Rupert airports, Coming soon is a video connec- tion to cameras set up at the two north coast airports. For Sandspit il be a 24-hour watch for changing weather con- ditions and for the Prince Rupert airport, the signal will be monitored when flight service stalion employees there aren’t on shift. The technological change is being accompanied by the trans- fer of all of Transport Canada’s flight services employees from Sandspit and a cutback of em- ployees at Prince Rupert. “With high resolution video colour, it can be remoted to a flight services station for observa- tion and monitoring,’’ said Mike Matthews, Transport Canada’s Radio viewed as way to aid HIGHWAY TRAVELLERS will be tuning into tourist information on their FM radios if a local plan comes about. Northen Native Broadcasting (NNB), which provides radio pro- gramming via satellite to northern and central northern com- munities, wants to set up low power FM transmitters at test spots in the northwest. ' Travellers will be able to listen . to information about the area and to commercials purchased by businesses aiming at the tourism market. NNB official Ray Jones said it has applied to the provincial tourism ministry for money for © five-test sites but has been told there is no money. Yet he expects to make a presentation to area and provin- cial tourism officials this fall when the North By Northwest Tourism Association holds its an- nual general meeting in Terrace. ‘Now that the lava beds are a provincial park, that would be a good location, Ksan in Hazelton would also be good, In the Prince Rupert area, the North Pacific Cannery,” said Jones of tentative sites, NNB wants to use technology developed by a Whitehorse firm called Total Point, That company has put in similar transmitters in the Yukon and op- regional director for aviation. “The technology available is very flexible and the pictures can easily move through the phone lines,” he said. More flights service station em- ployees will be added in Terrace as a result of the changes. The effect of the cuts in Prince Rupert is to reduce service tS 16 hours a day from what was an around the clock operation. At the same time, Transport Canada is moving its flight ser- vices station from the Digby Is- Jand airport to the Scal Cove scaplane base area. That’s because there are far more floatplane landings and take offs a year at Seal Cove than wheeled-aircraft movements on Digby. The new Seal Cove base will also be able to observe conditions at Digby via the same kind video connection that'll be coming here. tourists eraled a test site near Banff, Information won’t be on tape but will be on a microchip, says Total Point official Gardon Dun- can. “There are no moving parts,’’ said Duncan adding that the result is a system which can handle all kinds of weather. He said the system can be also be used to provide highways in- formation to motorists. THE COMPANY with the con- tract for road and. bridge maintenance in this area also wants to do the same job in Smithers and the Hazeltons. Nechako Northcoast Construc- tion Services was one of two companies to submit a bid for a two-year contract Should Nechako get the con- tract, it represents a homecoming of sorts. That’s because Nechako was the first company ta do road and bridge maintenance in Smithers- Hazelton in 1987 when the provincial government contracted out the service. Bulkley Valley Maintenance then beat out Nechako when the contract was re-tendered, But the highways ministry took the job away from Bulkley Valley last month when it failed to secure a performance bond. Also bidding on the new con- Out & About tract is Interior Roads Ltd. of Kamloops. It was named as the temporary maintenance company when Bulkley Valley lost the job. kkekkk The number of business licences continues to rise, reports the City of Terrace’s licensing depart- ment, Total licences for August 1994 number 1,158 compared to 1,105 for the year before, There were 1,074 licences as of August 1992 and 1,021 as of Au- gust 1991.
