City workers get award |

AN AWARD has been given
to the city workers who act as
volunteer weather recorders.
The award from Environ-
ment Canada is for 26 years of
readings collected by workers
at the city’s sewage treatment
plant, now known as the Pol-
lution Control Centre (PCC),
Klause Ridke, a city environ-
mental health technician,
picked up the award recently
from Terrace airport weather
office manager Dan Morrison.
Technicians have been
voluntarily recording Ter-
race’s weather for Environ-
ment Canada since 1968,
sending the data to the main
weather office in Vancouver
for archival use,
“This is a fun part of the
job,’” said Claude Mercereau
who collects the information

visits from city workers Claude Mercereau, left, and Klause
Ridke. City workers have recorded temperatures for nearly three
decades and that’s resulted in an award,

along with Ridke and Kevin
McLeod. ;
“Tis a good conversation

piece,’ he says. “Your
friends say, ‘Boy, it sure
rained ‘last night’ and I can
say, ‘No it didn’t, it hardly
rained at all’,”’

-Ridke feels it also helps
them in their job because they
know exactly what the water
levels should be.

“We're in the business of

water and waste walter sc it
helps to know what’s going on
with the weather,”’ said Ridke.
““¥You learn about the weather

in a Stephen’s Box, a wooden
case that prevents direct sun-
light from effecting the read-
ing because it opens to the
north.

The PCC also measures pre-
cipitation and rate of rainfall
with rain gauges, as well as
measuring depth of snowfall
on a snowboard,

These two stations are
needed, said Morrison, be-
cause the 500 foot difference
between the airport and the
control centre makes a sig-
nificant difference in weather.

“The low-level PCC may
get more extreme highs and
lows, while the airport gets
more snowfall,’ Morrison
said.

The weather station at the
airport runs a much more com-
plicated program using satel-
lite imagery and hourly obser-
vations by meteorologists 24
hours a day, he says.
