◆ INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR

US launches formal investigation into the competitve advantages of Canadian Ports By Alan S. Hale The Northern View Prince Rupert’s container terminal has been put in the international spotlight after the US government decided on to launch a formal investigation into accusations that Canadian ports have an unfair advantage over American ports that is causing carriers to divert their cargo north of the border. The issue has reached the attention of the federal governments of both countries, and the air is filled with talk of trade wars and accusations of unfair government subsidies. A group of American west coast ports are pushing for a fee on goods that are unloaded in Canada in order to “level the playing field.” But the Prince Rupert Port Authority says it will defend Prince Rupert’s competitive advantage from US protectionism if need be, but hopefully it won’t come to that. “We are working with the Canadian Government, we are working with Foreign Affairs, Transport Canada, the Canadian embassy in Washington...To defend our position. There is the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) and other free trade agreements that we will use to defend our position if it indeed did requires that,” CEO of the Prince Rupert Port Authority, Don Krusel, told the Prince Rupert Northern View. The Federal Maritime Commission, an independent government body responsible for regulating the commercial use of US waters, voted unanimously on Wednesday to start a study into the effect of the Habour Maintenance Tax on the competitiveness of American ports when compared to ports in Canada and Mexico. The Harbour Maintenance Tax is charged to shippers when they dock at American ports; the amount paid is determined by the value of the cargo. The money is then used for projects like dredging harbours all over the US. Essentially, the tax is to get companies who use the ports to help pay for their upkeep. But companies unloading cargo at

Fairview Terminal is one of the ports at the centre of the US investigation. Canadian ports do not have to pay this extra money because Canadian ports are responsible for their own upkeep and simply absorb the expense instead of charging more to shipping companies. Prince Rupert’s harbour has a natural deep-water harbour the deepest in the country- and so doesn’t need dredging. In the US, the Harbour Maintenance Tax is being blamed for making US ports less competitive than Canadian ones. Members of Congress from Washington State and California reacted to the industry’s worries and sent letters to the maritime commissioner, Richard Lidinsky, asking him to investigate the problem and come up with changes to policy or regulations to solve the problem. The US government is projected to lose anywhere from $575-million and S2.1billion USD over the next 10 years because of cargo being diverted to Canada. “It is imperative that we level the playing field between international ports and domestic ports so that the U.S. can continue to compete for cargo ultimately bound for the United States,” reads the letter to the commissioner signed by seven members of Congress. Now that the commission has accepted their request for an investigation, it will

be three weeks before all their parameters of the study will be worked out and released. The Congress members are worried that the tax is the major reason that carriers are turning away from US ports in favour of Canadian ones because it means shippers can save money by going to ports like Prince Rupert. Figures have been tossed around in the media that the tax costs carriers anywhere between $130-140 extra per container. The Northern View asked the Seattle Port Authority what was the average cost of the tax at their facility, they said the average was about $80 USD with some containers going going as high as $250 or as low as $40, depending on what the value of the cargo is. Seattle is a member of a group of American west coast ports called, the US West Coast Collaboration. They say the solution to the problem is to impose a fee on every container from overseas entering the country from overseas by truck or train after being unloaded in Canada or Mexico. Goods originating in either country would be exempt for the fee, so things like Canadian lumber, oil or grain coming into the US by land would not be charged. See Ports, page 2

Port Authority continues to see growth in traffic numbers By Alan S. Hale The Northern View The Prince Rupert Port Authority continued to make big gains in cargo levels this September over last year, while ports in the US have seen their traffic dwindle over the past year. With an investigation into about to get underway in that country into Prince Rupert’s competitiveness, more people will be watching these statistics closely over the next few months. The total number of TEUs (average containers) coming in and out of the Port of Prince Rupert in September was 50.9 per cent higher than in September 2010, rising to 36,072.5 TEUs. This is up from August which saw 34,016.5 TEUs come through the city. Prince Rupert’s import business is at the heart of the investigation by the Federal Maritime Commission in the US. It also made a major gain over last year, going up 39.7 per cent to 24,927 TEUs this September; up only about 200 TEUs from August. The container port’s export business has also seen a impressive gain over last year. Exports rose in September by 41.9 per cent to 20,496.5 TEUs, which is an increase of close to 2,000 TEUs from the month before. The number of loaded containers being exported, though was up 84 per cent year to

year. The amount of logs being shipped out of the Prince Rupert harbour fell by 17.1 per cent when compared to the year before. 54,697 tonnes of logs moved through the city in September, over 11,000 less than a year before, but still more than last month which saw 44,560 tonnes of logs. In August the only product being shipped out of the Prince Rupert Grain terminal was a massive 215,650 tonnes worth of wheat. This month much less grain was shipped from Ridley Island but it was a wider variety, including Barley, Canola, and Wheat. It was still much less than August, only 147,695 tonnes, but that was still a huge jump of 86.4 per cent more than September 2010. Ridley Terminals Inc. hit a record high in August when the amount of Metallurgical Coal being sent from there was almost three times as much as they year before. In September things have evened off at 543,376 tonnes, which is only half of what was shipped the month previous. It was also less than September of last year, seeing a drop of 34 per cent.

Conservatives hold local AGM By Rod Link Black Press MaryAnn Freeman is starting her second oneyear term as president of the federal Conservative Party’s constituency association for the Skeena – Bulkley Valley riding. The Terrace resident was chosen at the association’s September 24 AGM in Terrace. The first vice president of the association is Ken Minifie from Kitimat and the second vice president is Cathy Lindseth from Terrace. Clay Harmon, who was the party’s unsuccessful candidate in the this riding in the spring federal election, is the association’s financial agent. Freeman estimated that 20 people were at the annual general meeting. “We talked about the election. A lot of us are new people so we talked about what we did and what areas we can improve upon for next time,” she said. And although the ultimate goal of the Conservative constituency association is to defeat current NDP MP Nathan Cullen, Freeman said it does wish him the best in his run for his party’s leadership. “Just because we are from a different party doesn’t mean that we can’t wish him good luck as another northerner,” said Freeman. “If he did win the leadership, he would have a bigger voice for the north. That would be something. There’s no animosity,” she added.

RTI signs another long-term deal By Shaun Thomas The Northern View On October 5 Ridley Terminals and Peace River Coal announced a new longterm agreement that will see coal from the northeast moving through Prince Rupert. The deal runs until December 31, 2021, with an optional five year extension. While the specific tonnage isn’t being made available, Ridley Terminals chair Bud Smith notes that the volume under the new agreement will grow and that can only be good news for Prince Rupert. “The Anglo agreement is important to RTI because it provides predictable volumes well into the future. Predictable volumes enable us to plan for new capacity.

New capacity means more jobs at Prince Rupert,” he said, adding that the benefits extend beyond the North Coast. “Importantly this agreement also provides communities in northeastern BC with confidence to makes municipal plans knowing Anglo has made a long term commitment for capacity at RTI. Growth in shipping capacity at RTI in Prince Rupert will result in new jobs being created at northeast BC mines.” The same day as the new long-term deal was announced, international mining giant Anglo Amercian announced that it had completed negotiations to take 100 per cent ownership of the company in a deal valued at $166 million US. Company CEO Seamus French said they plan on

OPINION

MY VIEW…

A tale of two varied performance stats This week there were two different groups that released performance statistics, and they paint two very different pictures of where Prince Rupert is at and where Prince Rupert is going. First there was the Northern BC Real Estate Board, whose figures show that property sales and prices are down this year compared to last in Prince Rupert while they are up in Terrace, Kitimat and Smithers. That would point to Prince Rupert being in a bit of a slump at the moment, as property sales are usually an indicator of people either moving into town or doing well enough to buy a home. But then you look at the stats provided by the Prince Rupert Port Authority, and they paint a completely opposite picture of a town that is going to need a lot of people in the future. The number of containers being imported is up almost 10 per cent and the number of loaded containers being shipped out is up 79 per cent year to date compared to 2010. Ridley Terminals is also up 18 per cent compared to the record year the company saw in 2010, Prince Rupert Grain is up 6.6 per cent and the number of logs being shipped out is up 51 per cent compared to the same time last year. When you couple that with the story on the front of Friday’s Northern Connector, which indicates the number of weekly ships could jump to 10 once the expansion north is completed and I have no doubt that people on the outside would see Prince Rupert as a town on the upswing. The

number of jobs needed during construction and with seven additional ships per week paint a bright future in the not too distant future. Though that is the not too distant future. Today, based on

what I see and hear, the realty numbers sound about right. But I would much rather look to a future with plenty of jobs and income than dwell on a town that remains in transition. ~ Shaun Thomas

What to know about the Northern BC Tourism Association The Northern BC Tourism Association (NBCTA) represents the tourism industry in Northern British Columbia. The Association is contracted to provide Tourism BC development and marketing activities. It represents one of the six regions of Tourism BC (formally the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation), but includes well over half of the province’s geography. The Annual General Meeting and Conference of the NBCTA was held last week in Prince George. I believe that there were about 100 delegates this year, including a strong contingent of university tourism students – which is always a very promising sign for the future. This is the main annual event for northern tourism organizations and businesses, and is an effective venue for us on many levels. It is an exchange of information, swapping ideas which have worked in other areas, and a venue for developing partnerships that span the northern region and the broader tourism industry. The Northern BC Tourism Association

This sort of relationship is funded through the hotel tax-based provincial Talking tourism holds true for almost everything we do. For example, say it was tourism funding, which is important for a certain travel used to partner dollars and guide or magazine to include a effort with communities and strong Prince Rupert presence. tourism operators throughout The NBCTA might offer to “cothe north. op” a certain amount of space I can do no more than in that publication, paying a touch upon all of the portion to make it affordable different things that Northern for us. We might then offer BC Tourism does for Prince further savings to our members, Rupert. On the financial side, BRUCE WISHART paying for a portion of their they form an important part advertising, making it affordable of our fundraising. The hotel tax received by a community DMO accounts for them to advertise where they wouldn’t for only about a third of the budget of an normally have the resources to do so. The average DMO. We take those dollars and end result is a section of Prince Rupert use them to increase our available resources advertising, encouraging the publication through a complex series of programs that to increase the amount of editorial allow us to leverage the initial investment. coverage of Prince Rupert.

In Prince Rupert, TPR, the NBCTA, and often addition to that, the region uses a portion of its other agencies such as the Canadian Tourism funding to do things that are of benefit to the entire region – from traditional advertising, Commission.

such as the Northern BC Travel Guide, to a variety of social media platforms. Even this doesn’t tell the whole story. They advocate when we need advocates, working at the provincial level to further the needs of the communities. When needed they come into the communities to solidify local support for tourism. Given the size of our region, we have a special situation in the North. We have NBCTA satellite offices in Prince Rupert and Fort St. John, ensuring the strong connection between the individual tourism stakeholders, the communities, the region and the province. That highlights one more vital role. The regional tourism office is a conduit that fuels the ongoing relationship of northern DMOs. I don’t remember a time when we didn’t have some sort of initiative on the go that included at least a few communities between Haida Gwaii and Dawson Creek. The northern communities have much in common, and though we gather just once a year we work together on a daily basis through the regional organization.

PRDTU chair talks school funding on World Teacher Day Editor: It is somehow appropriate that on World Teacher’s Day (October 5), I would be making a presentation to the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services, on how BC school funding is not keeping up with the rest of Canada. World Teacher’s Day has been celebrated across the globe on the 5th of October, every year since 1994 when UNESCO inaugurated the first World Teacher’s Day. On this day, teachers are to be honoured for their immense contribution towards the education and development of children. And so, while appropriate it is somewhat ironic that today would be the day I would publicly share the fact, that in Prince Rupert our teacher librarians have been reduced by an extraordinary 72.7 per cent since 2001. Our special education teachers, have been cut back almost by half at 42.1 per cent during the same time frame. Across the province, FTE staffing levels for specialist teachers have decreased to 1 459 fewer specialist teachers in BC. In April, Madam Justice Griffin of the Supreme Court, in her decision on Bills 27 and 28, which stripped class size and composition language from teacher

contracts across the province said, that arbitrary legislation, rather than good faith collective bargaining, was seen by teachers as a message that “the government did not respect them or consider them to be valued contributors to the education system.” She could not have been more accurate. This is not how a government, or our society honours teachers for their commitment and dedication to the students of our province.

Revised report show Port Authority looking to expand Fairview Terminal toward town By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - On September 29 the Prince Rupert Port Authority released the mitigation strategy report for the phase II expansion of Fairview Terminal, and the report to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency outlines a much more extensive project than first submitted for approval in 2009. Expansion will now take place in to phases. Phase one is expected to get underway once a commercial decision to pro-

ceed is made, which would be in late 2012 at the earliest, and it includes expanding the terminal north towards town – something that was not included in the 2009 submission to the agency – and the construction of a five kilometre road connecting Fairview Terminal to Ridley Island to allow truck traffic to bypass downtown. Phase two, which will not get underway until after 2015 although a decision to proceed with construction and buildout of the southern expansion will depend on market conditions at that time, will expand the terminal south toward Ridley Island, but not to

the same extent. The end result is that the terrestrial portion of the terminal has been reduced from 33 hectares to 15.7 hectares and the amount of material to be disposed of at sea is reduced from 1.8 million cubic metres to just 180,000 cubic metres. Another change from the 2009 submission is the number of ships calling on Prince Rupert and the number of trucks moving through the terminal. According to the report, when phase one of the expansion is complete there is projected to be 10 vessels per week calling on Prince Rupert

along with 1,570 truck movements while the second stage of the expansion could see up to 14 vessels per week and 2,500 truck movements per week. To accommodate the increased vessel traffic the Prince Rupert Port Authority is planning to add an additional six cranes to the existing three currently at the terminal. Along with the truck and vessel traffic, the number of trains moving in and out of Fairview Terminal is expected to increase 10 per day, with five inbound and five outbound each day.

Walmart coming in isn’t a bad thing for Rupert Editor: Walmart, for or against? Zellers, Walmart, Target, Hudson Bay, K-Mart, they are all the same. My understanding of this move is that Walmart is taking over the Zellers location. Therefore Rupert is not gaining or losing a commercial outlet.

In all malls you need an “anchor” tenant, in Rupert it is Zellers. When Zellers leaves it will be Walmart. In effect Zellers will now be called Walmart and instead of seeing the big red Z in the store you will see the bright yellow happy face and the sales associates will be in Walmart blue rather than Zellers red.

As far as saving money, that is yet to be seen. Yes they will have deals, just like Zellers, Canadian Tire and every other large retail chain. Remember this, Walmart just as every other company, will follow the price line set in the community. The pricing will be what the market will bare.

In my view the local retailers will not be significantly impacted by this move. It will be business as usual. In fact this may help the local retailer in the long term as it will keep people in Rupert rather than going to Terrace to shop Walmart. Len Lovering

Televising riot trials is just a two-bit sideshow Editor When it comes to the law, BC’s premier has just exposed her naivety. When it comes to cameras, Clark is forever overexposing herself. By overriding the advice of the provincial prosecutors and by

insisting cameras should be placed in the court rooms with the hockey hooligans, Clark has proved her priorities are out of focus. Perhaps this is just a shoddy attempt to market the lawyers’ verbal cuts, thrusts and parries as

an educational training aid to show wannabe hooligans how modernday gladiators mete out justice with their digitally enhanced wits. Real criminals will probably learn even more, like how to dance around the criminal code by concentrating on

fancy footwork while keeping one’s mouth shut. Most British Columbians can recognize a political circus and a two-bit sideshow when they see one. Lloyd Atkins

Independent Power Producers hold a benefit to BC DISTRICT OF PORT EDWARD 250-628-3667 www.district.portedward.bc.ca

Editor: How many of your readers realize that 92 per cent of the 32 per cent rate increase BC Hydro was seeking prior to the recent rate review was directly related to the updating and renewal of BC Hydro’s own generating, transmission and distribution infrastructure? Not many I suspect. Only eight per cent of BC

Hydro’s rate increase was related to purchases of new energy supplies from independent private sector producers Unfortunately, independent producers seem to be getting all the blame in the media for the entire rate increase. This is neither fair nor is it in the public interest considering that independent producers are obviously not the big cost driver behind the

requested rate increase. One needs to separate the cost of renewing BC Hydro’s own energy infrastructure (the 92 per cent) from the cost of acquiring new supplies of electricity from independent producers (the eight per cent) and then deal with each on its own merits. When you look at the eight per cent portion of the rate increase on its

â—† ELECTRICAL ERROR

Tripped generator leaves Rupert with no power on Thursday By Alan S. Hale The Northern View Rupert residents and businesses were caught off guard on Thursday when the power abruptly went out at around three p.m., leaving the entire town without power. The power was out in some areas for three hours before it was turned on again, but most people had their electricity again after about an hour. The outage was caused because three different power generators

all shut off within minutes of each other after one of them had some kind of mechanical problem, the cause of which is still being determined. “The reason those units were on is because we were doing scheduled maintenance to the transmission lines coming in from Terrace, so those lines were out of service,� says Bob Gammer from BC Hydro.

Hunter Safety C.O.R.E.

The workers were repairing parts of the power lines, which usually feed Prince Rupert’s energy demands, that were expected to not last through the next winter. To allow them to work Bob Gammar on the lines and not disrupt the power coming into town, they started up the two gas-powered generators and the Falls River generating

station. “It was a nice seamless transition, nobody noticed anything different. It was running well all day until three in the afternoon when unit two tripped, then unit one tripped, and then Falls River tripped as well,� says Gammar. BC Hydro is still investigating what caused one of the gas generators to shut itself off. It’s possible the safety sensors detected some kind of vibration in the unit and shut it down to protect the equipment. The

other stations are also designed to do the same if a problem is detected. The gas generators were back up and running by four p.m., which got most of the city back on the grid, but Port Edward, Ridley Island and the port were still out of power because the transmission line from Terrace was still being repaired. When that work on the transmission line was done by six p.m., electricity was restored to everyone who had been affected by the outage.

◆ OP-ED

Bloody red wines that are sure to be a Halloween treat Red wines are perfect if you are looking to find something that will help you get into that spooky Halloween spirit and theme. Red wine soaked lips also look pretty ferocious with a vampire costume. If you are out choosing some wines to serve at your Halloween party think about red wines that will appear thick and heavy in the glass, something with that slightly blue hue that is reminiscent of blood. To get that bloody effect, look for rich Australian Shiraz or California Zinfandel; want to find something Canadian? Why not get an Ontario

Baco Noir. Many, many years ago the Mediterranean winemaking countries would fine their wines with pigs or cows blood. It is still very possible to find wines made like this today, although the use of blood as a fining agent is prohibited by some countries like the United States and France. Today most wines are fined using bentonite; a silica clay that can remove suspended materials in the wine giving it a better appearance. Eggs and milk have also been used as fining agents in old world winemaking.

escape should be taught to open their windows and wave an article of clothing to attract attention. Instruct them to wait at the window until someone comes and to never hide from the fire. Discuss with a fire department official whether an escape ladder would be appropriate to install. - If awakened by a smoke alarm or a fire, instruct family members to feel the door for heat and check air at the bottom. If you don’t smell smoke and the air is cool, kneel and open the door slowly, turning your face away from the opening. If smoke is present or the door is hot, use another exit. - Purchase an A-B-C fire extinguisher, whose rating is based on the fuel: ‘A’ originates from a wood or paper fire, ‘B’ is caused by flammable liquids and ‘C’ is an electrical fire. - Practice Your Escape Plan!

Develop and Practice a Fire Escape Plan

- In order to be able to react quickly to fire, draw a floor plan of your home showing all possible exits from each room. - Where possible, plan two exits: a main route and an alternate route from each room. - Since the majority of fire deaths occur while you are sleeping, you should practice your plan at night as well, getting down on your hands and knees with a flashlight while crawling to safety. Heavy smoke impairs breathing, which is why staying close to the floor increases chances of escape. - Make certain that everyone understands that if they hear the smoke alarm, or someone shouting “FIRE”, they should immediately evacuate the home. - Designate a meeting place outside your home in the event of a fire. - Small children unable to

Report says any pipeline in the region By Andrew Hudson

627-1561 Fax: 627-8881

www.thenorthernview.com

Black Press Landslides will eventually cut any pipeline routed through west central B.C., says a report submitted last week to the Bulkley Valley Research Centre. The report looked at how landslides and erosion form along a proposed pipeline route that runs from Burns Lake to Kitimat. “It is a highly unstable area, and the likelihood of a landslide happening is extremely high,” said James Schwab, who authored the report. Schwab retired three years ago after working 30 years as a research geomorphologist in the BC Forest Service. His report draws primarily on his own published work and experience in northwest B.C. While the report does not specify any one pipeline, it does looks at the same east-west corridor where Enbridge, a Canadian oil and

Hazelton Mountains and the Kitimat Ranges. The Nechako Plateau south of Houston has sites of spreading bedrock that show active landslide movement, said Schwab. And along the Morice River, he said, glaciers have deposited lake sediments that caused large landslides as recently as the 1950s and 1960s. West of there, the proposed pipeline corridor moves into the Hazelton Mountains. “They are a real problem,” Schwab said. With so much volcanic rock lying on top of harder granite and other materials, he said the Hazelton Mountains are covered in landslide sites. And in the last 30 years, he added, rockslides in that area have cut a natural gas pipeline three times. 1740 Prince Rupert Blvd, Prince Rupert, BC 250 624-2859 Finally, in the steep valleys of the Kitimat Ranges, Schwab said debris flows have caused many landslides, as have the glacial marine deposits in that area.

Haisla victorious in four-year old libel lawsuit By Malcolm Baxter Kitimat Sentinal A dispute described by Justice Robert Punnett as arising out of “divisive band politics and a conflict over who speaks for the Haisla” ended last Thursday with the BC Supreme Court judge’s decision in a libel law suit. The law suit was launched in late October 2007 by then Haisla chief councillor Steve Wilson and council members Margaret Grant, Rod Bolton, Kevin Stewart, Ken Hall, Ellis Ross, Keith Nyce, Alex Grant Sr., Godfrey Grant Jr., and Henry Amos Sr. - the plaintiffs. Named as defendants in the suit were Morris Amos, Allan Williams Sr., Jennifer Grant Howard, Harvey Grant Sr., Sandra Robinson, Wendy Bolton and Janice Switlo, a nonpractising lawyer. Punnett noted the action revolved around 14 “publications”, 12 of which were alleged to be libelous and two slanderous. “Generally, the impugned words raise allegations of conflict of interest, misrepresentation, fraud, deceit, dishonesty, incompetence, corruption, breach of trust and treason, and relate to the conduct of the plaintiff council members and the

The six women Robert Pickton was convicted of killing: Brenda Wolfe, Sereena Abotsway, Georgina Papin, Andrea Joesbury, Mona Wilson and Marnie Frey. Right: Missing Women Commissioner Wally Oppal. The inquiry ended up reshuffling its budget to hire four lawyers to represent various interests, a move opponents call inadequate. The government has “lavished all its resources on one side – that of

the police and bureaucrats,” Holmes said. Some of the families and friends of Pickton’s victims are worried the inquiry will be hampered in its search for answers.

◆ LACK OF PLAYERS

Rampage forfeit both weekend road games By Shaun Thomas The Northern View The rough start for the Prince Rupert Rampage continues, as four points were forfeited by the team after they were not able to get enough players for a road trip this weekend. The Rampage were to travel to Vanderhoof to face the Omenica Ice on Saturday night and play the Houston Luckies in afternoon action on Sunday, but the team notified the league on Saturday morning that not enough players were available for the games. As a result, both Houston and Vanderhoof were awarded the two points and a post by the league indicated the Rampage would have to pay both teams $1,000 for causing the

cancellation of the games. With the forfeit, the Rampage start the season at 0-3 after losing 11-2 to the Kitimat Ice Demons in the season opener. In other western conference action this weekend, the Ice Demons just edged out the Terrace River Kings 2-1 on Saturday, while the Hazelton Wolverines defeated the Lac La Hache Tomahawks 10-2 before falling to the Williams Lake Stampeders 8-2. The Rampage will look to turn things around on Saturday as they host the Terrace River Kings for the home opener, with the puck dropping at eight p.m. Look for results from that game next Wednesday.

◆ DEBRIS BURNING

PRPA explains the smoke from Tuck Inlet By Shaun Thomas The Northern View Residents looking toward Tuck Inlet last week would have seen a fair amount of smoke coming over the hillside. The reason for the smoke was a burn being undertaken by the Harbour Debris Society, a non-profit group that looks after keeping the harbour clean. “They tow up driftwood from around the harbour and the mouth of the Skeena, including abandoned boats...There was quite a bit of

debris,” explained Michael Gurney of the Prince Rupert Port Authority. “The permit from the BC Government was to expire Friday but was extended 72 hours to Monday because they had trouble getting the fire started.” And while some in town pointed to the burning of old rail ties as the cause for the smoke, Gurney said he traveled to the site and can personally vouch that was not the case. “There was no creosote soaked lumber being burned. I checked it out because I was getting inquiries as well,” he said.
