After many years of planning, the Thornhill sewer project is another step closer to becoming a reality.

At its March 20 board meeting, the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine board voted in favour of amending two bylaws about the sewer system and the financing of it.

Costs are estimated at $3.4 million.

Currently, upper and lower Thornhill residents have independent on-site septic systems.

Thats excluding homes and businesses on the south side of the Thornhill Creek Bridge and on Churchhill St., which had a sewer system put in after a bylaw was approved in 1994.

That bylaw allowed for the expansion of the sewer system as money became available.

The Thornhill core area is this next phase of the sewer system and includes from Thornhill Creek Bridge on Queensway over the CN tracks, up on Substation Road all the way across to the Skeena Landing hotel across the four-way stop, and goes down the Thornhill Frontage Road to Husky next to where the new hotel is being built and across the highway as far as the Chevron station.

That area also takes in the Northern Motor Inn, down Paquette St. and the west side for the community zoned properties.

Mahwah The Planning Board has approved a subdivision of a heavily wooded 8.8-acre parcel on Monroe Drive.

Owners Anthony and Vincent Fasciano and Joseph and Terese Rizzi sought the subdivision to create two lots: one with 115,055 square feet, or 2.9 acres, and the other with 261,736 square feet, or 6.5 acres.

The owners plan to evenually build two homes on the properties.The board, however, attached certain conditions to protect neighboring properties. The owners must connect each lot to the township sewer system, install swales to route run-off, and delineating an easement to protect trees planted on the property.

The vacant property lies in the single family R-40 zone and has 150 feet of frontage on Monroe. It partially borders Ramsey and features a stream and wetlands.

Under the plan, Monroe Drive will be extended to create a cul-de-sac to provide driveway access to both lots.

Several neighbors of the property have voiced their concerns about the plan, citing the location of the proposed driveways and the potential drainage onto their properties. The plan includes a storm water runoff system that would collect the rainwater in the swales, directing it to basins at the rear of the property where it will drain into the wetlands.

The homeowners would be responsible for maintaining the storm water runoff systems on their properties.

Joseph Vinci, an engineer for the applicant, advised that the plan had been changed at the request of the board to show an 8-foot right-of-way behind the curb instead of 10 feet and a larger drainage basin. He said 74 trees would be removed and 47 trees would be added, not counting 19 white pines that will be planted as a buffer.

David Roberts, the townships professional planner, advised the board that if a buffer was provided to mitigate the impact on a neighboring property, the board should require a 10-foot planting easement to ensure trees in the buffer will not be removed by new property owners.

NORTHWOOD A local piece of architectural history is prepping for a face-lift thanks to a very green helping hand.

The Northwood Congregational Church UCC was recently awarded a $200,000 grant from the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) to help update and rehabilitate the structure.

In addition, the church ran a fundraising campaign last year that raised more than $270,000 for the project, which will include construction on the churchs upper attic, bell tower, front porch and support columns, as well as restoration work to the columns, the removal of decaying and damaged wood and the realignment of the structures foundation.

The churchs structural decay was first discovered in 2010 by the churchs Sanctuary Preservation Committee.

In 2013, the church hired an outside consultant to help with fundraising and research.

The church is listed in the National Register of Historic Places so it was crucial for the town and church patrons that the structure not only be updated, but updated within standards set by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior.

Construction on the church is expected to begin this year.

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. -

Members of a historic church in Fayetteville are making plans to repair the damage after a fire.

St. Joseph's Episcopal Church burned Tuesday evening. Firefighters responded to the church at Moore and Ramsey Streets at 6:46 p.m.

Although flames were large and smoke was heavy, the fire was contained to the sanctuary's main entrance and roof area near the steeple. Smoke and water spread throughout the sanctuary.

On Wednesday three red tarps were still covering important parts of the sanctuary's interior. Firefighters had placed them over the altar, the piano and organ combo and the baptismal font in an effort to protect them from water.

I'm just thankful it was just contained, and the firemen did a wonderful job of taking care of the facility, said Rev. Teddra Smith, the church's Rector. Coming in here this morning I was like, ooh, thank you God.' I said, you must have sent your angels' to contain it in one area.

Smith said the church's insurance would cover the cost of repairs. She said there will be a nationwide search to find craftsmen who can restore the church, including its 119-year-old woodwork. The building has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1982, and because of that everything must be put back just as it was, Smith said.

The church formed in 1873 after African-Americans branch off from nearby St. John's Episcopal Church. A plaque in the sanctuary says the building was erected in 1896. The windows surrounding the altar came from Tiffany & Co.

Smith said compared the fire to the season of Lent, which began on Ash Wednesday.

We're going to come out of the ashes with hope, Smith said. Lent is the season when we are in the ashes. When we come out of the ashes with Palm Sunday and Easter there's hope, and there's resurrected life, and that's what's going to happen here.
