School district stares at deficit THE COAST Mountain school district is facing a $623,000 deficit.

Now it has to ask permission from the education ministry to pay down that debt over two years. A number of other school districts are in the same situation.

The school district actually started this school year with a $711,000 debt left over from the year before, points out secretary-treasurer Barry Piersdorff. That debt wasn't something the school board had anticipated when it submitted its plan for balancing the books in the current school year.

So Piersdorff says the district is about $100,000 ahead of where it could be.

The school district also faced rough

times this year with reduced enrollment numbers. The district gets grants from the government based on the number of students it has, but it also has to hire teachers and support staff in advance of the school year.

Some of those missing students were directly affronted to the Skecna Cel- lulose situation, and the government picked up the tab for them. But there were another 117 students who didn't materialize this year.

Piersdorff noted the deficit could have been significantly worse if the district! hadn't found savings in other areas.

The mild winter helped a lot with a projected $260,000 savings in utility

costs and $90,000 in snow removal. * * * - k ,

Provided the school district can get approval to run a deficit budget, it then has to start worrying about the 1998/99 school year.

It 's too soon to tell yet whether the district will get much of the provincial government's $105 million boost to edu-

i cation, announced last week. Education Minister Paul Ramsey said the money is new, and hasn't been shuffled from one pot to another within the ministry.

Ramsey said the $105 million will help pay for an anticipated increase in enrollment of 8,100 students across the pro-

vince. And he claims the government will increase spending by $93 per pupil

up to $5,849. But if that $105 million is paying for

increased student numbers, the actual dollar increase per student could be just $51, points oat Piersdorff.

And student numbers here are anticipated to drop again, by as much as 140 students by next September.

So it's possible the district might be looking at laying off teachers, or not filling positions vacant due to attrition.

That's ironic since the govcrmnent estimates about 400 new teachers and nearly 300 aides, librarians and counsellors will be hired across the province.

The Coast Mountain school district will also lose some money it gets in ad, ditional grants, admitted Ramsey last week hi a telephone interview.

That's because it's an amalgamated district and some grants such as special education are supposed to be phased out.

That could mean a potential loss he re of up to $370,000 from last year, if all the grants disappear.

Ramsey wants to see school dislricts trim their administrative structure. S o m e districts haven't done that, he said, a n d he'd be reviewing the 1997/98 budgets of districts to see where districts had cut money. He also hinted he might overturn spending decisions he doesn't like.

Trustees want to freeze out drug pushers SCHOOL BOARD trustees are supporting a province- wide move to set up bubble zones around schools similar to the ones around abortion clinics.

While the intent of the zones around abortion clinics is to keep away protesters and those that might harm clinic workers or patients, trustees here want them to keep drug .Imshers from operating near schools. . . . . . . . . . . .

The motion is being put forward by the provincial association of school trustees nnd is being sent to the provincial and federal governments.

Sharon Bundle, assistant-superintendent for the school district, said trustees support the idea of bubble zones because pushers target schools where there are a large amount of potential customers.

The expectation of a bubble zone is that penalties are higher for offences committed within their boundaries.

Rita Hall, a representative for the Thornhill Community Advisory Committee said parents there are concerned that there are a number of drug dealers operating very close to ' three schools in Thomhill.

Hall said the group might petition local government rep- resentatives to quickly deal with the problem.

An RCMP officer is coming to a district-wide com- I munity advisory committee meeting March 24 at 7 p.m. in :. the school board office to talk about the issue. That mcet-i ing is open to the public.

Vancouver has had some luck in banning prostitutes from certain areas of the city. And the courts have so far held up the constitutionality of bubble zones around abortion clinics.

FIRE FIGHTER Lawrence Stella checks young Kyle Jephson's car seat, to make sure the seat is attached correctly and will protect the toddler in an accident. Terrace fire fighters are checking

car seats and booster for small children free each Saturday morning at the fire hall, from 10 a.m. till noon. They're doing it in conjunction with Northwest Community Health Services.

Child car seats can be checkect THERE'S AN 80 per cent chance a parent has installed a child's ear seat incorrectly or isn't using it properly.

But now parents can have that car seat checked free every Saturday morning at the Terrace fire department.

Ester Brisch, who heads the injury prevention program for Northwest Community Health Services, says provincial ear seat checks prove only 20 per cent of parents are using infant and car seats correctly.

There's been no comparable studies in Ter- race, but she fears the same statistics hold true here.

Some of the most common mistakes parents make are having the harness straps too loose or not using the tether straps to anchor the car seat to the frame of the car.

Children are also often moved up to a car seat too large for them, before they are ready. And some parents allow children to ride in the fi'ont seat.

The Terrace fire fighters have volunteered to check ear seats free of charge. They've been trained by health services staff, and started of. fering the service two Saturdays ago.

Fire fighter Dave Jephson even made changes in how he buckles in his own chil-

dren, after watching a training video. He and his wife Debbie purchased a full.size booster seat for their four-year-old daughter.

Previously they were just buckling her in like an adult, but learned she was too small and could be badly hurt in an accident.

Parents who'd like to learn more about how to buckle up their small children and infants can come by the fire hall, next to city hall, between 10 a.m. and 12 noon every Saturday.

In Kitimat, fire fighters have been offering this service since 1994. They were among the first in the province to do this and it 's been successful there, says Brisch.

Airport overseers set to negotiate

THE TERRACE-KITIMAT Airport Authority, which will take control over the airport from the federal government later this year, now has a governing board.

Seven people were chosen by the authority's sponsors- Gerry Martin from the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce, Rod Cox from the City of Terrace, Roger Borycki from the Kitimat Chamber of Commerce and Ken Earl from the Northern Savings Credit Union. At large members are Doug Groves from Alcan, Ron Anderson, who used to work for B.C. Tel and Fraser Mackie from J and F Distributors/Copperside.

Cox was elected president of the authority at the board's first meeting Monday. Groves is vice-president and Mackie is secretary-treasurer.

Terrace economic development officer Ken Veldman, who has worked on establishing the authority, said the group will first acquaint itself with key issues before entering negotiations with the federal government for transfer of the airport.

Sick kids far away from nurses WI-1EN NURSES want to hear how sick children are doing at Mills Memorial Hospital, they now turn to Fisher Price baby monitors.

That's because the children are so far away from the nurses' work station, they can't hear when medical alert alarms go off.

And so they depend upon the baby monitors to pick up those sounds and transmit them to receivers at their station.

The system of using domestic baby monitors is new and follows the closure of a nursing station to save money in what was the hospital's maternity- pediatrics section on its main medical services floor.

There are still rooms in that area for maternity patients and their newborns, but the pediatric cases have been moved over to the other side, away from what is now the sole nursing station on the floor.

Pediatrician Dr. Jane Pegg says the problem is not so much having to use store-bought baby monitors, but a taking apart of the pediatrics section and moving sick children to other rooms.

The situation now is much different from four years ago when Pegg first arrived to work in a fully functional and separate pediatrics ward.

Two years ago pediatrics was moved to the same area as the maternity ward and the first attempt to close down a smaller nursing station was made.

Both the doctors and the local health council agree Mills needs more money but don't agree on how to go out and get it. Page A8

i ,

It didn't work then but the station was , again closed the end of January.

The cuts worry Pegg who says, as do other specialists at Mills, that the hospital treats a higher percentage of sicker children than what be expected for the size of the facility and of the city.

Instead, says Pegg, Mills attracts sicker

people from all over the region because it has more specialists and is in the centre of the region.

"We simply take kids that are sicker that what a normal hospital would take," she said.

Pegg adds that another cost saving plan, to eliminate nursing specialties in favour of general service nurses, sometimes doesn't work.

"I t is a real art to take care of pedes patients," she says of the training and experience needed.

"We really depend upon the nurses because we ' re not in the hospital 24 hours a day."

Pegg fears things will worsen because the city's only other pediatrician is leav-

ing soon and will add to her workload until a replacement is found.

" I just can't provide seven days a week of on-call coverage so there will be some uncovered time unfortunately," she said.

And Pegg says it will be hard to find a pediatrician to come to a place where there isn't a pediatrics ward, where the workload is greater and where there aren't specific pediatric nurses.

Terrace and Area Community Health Council chairman Larisa Tarwlck said Mills isn't the only hospital to combine nursing services and wards.

She did say that what has happened is working and that the nursery fo r sick children remains open when needed.

Fire training means airshow will be a go

THIS SUMMER'S Terrace Airshow is going ahead now that Transport Canada has agreed to train local firefighters with the airport's specialized equipment.

Ten Terrace firefighters will attend the training sessions in April, May and September in Deluth, Minnesota.

Alrshow plans were threatened because, with the recent scrapping of the airport's fire department, there were no firefighters available here with certification in Crash Fire Rescue. That certification was required by most of the airshow participants for safety reasons, and the Terrace Fire Department could not afford the costs needed to cover the training costs.

But on Monday, Transport Canada agreed to foot the bill. The local firefighters will now receive the same training as those from the Vancouver Airport, learning how to handle flammable liquid spills and fires, brake fires, engine fires and many other hazards unique to aircraft.

The training also paves the way for Terrace firefighters to possibly attend scheduled commercial flights at the airport. However, that agreement has yet to be worked out between the fire department and the new airport society.

Wild police chase A HIGH-SPEED police car chase through the south side

Saturday ended with the suspect vehicle flipping over and the chase continuing on foot.

Terrace RCMP say at about 2:10 a.m. Mar. 14, officers spotted a black Ford pickup driving at a high rate of speed along Keith Ave.

Police tried to stop the truck, but the driver fled, at times reaching speeds of 95 kmph. Police followed the t ack for 10 minutes through the south side until the driver attempted to escape through a field and rolled the vehicle.

The suspect then attempted to flee on foot through the field and was arrested on the banks of the Skeena River. He was charged with impaired driving, dangerous driving and other offenses.

Driver dies at the wheel A TERRACE resident died after suffering a heart attack

on the job last week. Ran Cornell, 57, a driver for Excel Transportation, had

finished loading wood chips into his truck the morning of March 12 and was leaving the Pacific Inland Resources log yard in Smithers when the attack occurred.

His truck, a tractor-trailer weighing 63,500 kilograms fully loaded, careened into a nearby hydro pole and crashed to a stop.

Although the pole was knocked off its mount, the line hanging- the main electricity source for Smithers, Hazelton and Kitwanga- remained on.

Comell about to make a trip to Kitimat to deliver his load.

GRIEVANCE FILED

Teachers oppose replacing official

By DERRICK PENNER KITIMAT teachers have filed a grievance against the Coast

Mountain school district over its decision to hire a new assistant superintendent.

Currently the position is held by Skip Bergsma. Andrew S t a t e n , director of Instruction, was recently hired to replace him.

The Kitimat teacher's union hopes it can get the board to reconsider its decision. They have an ally in this battle D the District Advisory Committee, a body made up of stakeholder groups like parents. That group recommended the board look at redistributing Bergsma's responsibilities.

But when Kitimat trustee Peter King made that motion at a recent board meeting, no other trustee was willing to second it.

Nell Worboys, president of the Kitimat District Teachers' Association, said their contract was ignored in the process of filling the position.

"We would like to see nobody hired, but if the school board is going to hire we would like to see a process followed according to our collective agreement," he added.

A clause in the Kitimat contract says the union gets a representative on the selection committee for district officer positions for education, up to and including superintendent of schools.

It carries over from the contract the KDTA had with Kitimat School District 80.

Worboys said the union was mad the school district chose to ignore the clause. But it's also upset the board went ahead with the hiring after Bergsma announced his retirement, despite the fact the district is facing a $623,000 deficit at the end of the school year.

"When there's that amount of money outstanding and they just go ahead and fill the position with a $100,000 (person), where are they going to save the money?" Worboys asked.

The union is worried savings will have to come from teacher and support staff layoffs.

The board did, however, agree to look at the district's administrative structure and possible ways of streamlining.

Worboys said the decision to hire a new assistant superintendent calls the board's commitment to the committee into question.

"It seems they don't see the need to streamline the district. If that was their initial thinking they would have at least held off in hiring this position," he added.

Kitimat trustee Peter King agrees. He opposed the decision to fill the position so quickly, especially since parent and employer groups expressed reservations.

King added hiring a new assistant superintendent now cuts down the board's options for restructuring administration. He'll try to slow any decision to replace Scruton, and encourage the board to take more heed of the District Advisory Committee.

"People are demanding more control over their kids' education. They want to have a say in how and what happens to their kids in the education system, and I think as a board we have to recognize that," King said.

School board chair Roger LeClerc, however, pointed out that the district advisory committee is just that - advisory.

And while the school board does look at the recommenda- tions it makes, it has to "go on with life and make decisions, and it chose to make this decision."

The school district has rejected the teacher's union grievance, so it's up to Kitimat teachers to take the fight to the next level.

Unless held within an Registered Retirement Say. ings Plan, income received from dislributions, or the selling of the fund units, must be declared on your tax return. Each fund you own will send you a T3 slip with capital gains, dividends, and interest itemized because each type of income is taxed differently.

Interest income from bond, mortgage, balanced, or • money market funds is taxed Ihe most, at the same rule as as salary or pension. Capital gains are taxed on 3/4 of the gain. Forexample, $750 of a $1,000 capital gain is taxable. Dividends are taxed the least, after being grossed up 25% then reduced by an off- setting dividend tag credit.

'You may receive foreign income if you invest in a fund that owns foreign securities. Foreign interest and dividends are fully taxable in Canada, and are not eligible for dividend tax credits. If foreign tax was wilhheld before paying income to the fund, however, your "1"3 slip could include an offseuing foreign tax credit.

All these general conditions apply to you whether your distributions are sent to you by cheque or automatically reinvested in a fund. In either case, the distribution is regarded as income. Also, while the amount of the dislribution depends on the number of days you actually owned units or Ihe fund, the entire amount of the distribution is laxahle, regardless of the length or time of your ownership.

To avoid double taxation, capital gains or losses are

calculated on Ihe adjusted cost base of the investment. This means that amounts previously re-

ported are added back to you original purchase price before future gains or losses are calculated.

Ne_ _ws In.Brie__ f Fam,ly kdled mn crash

A TERRACE family was killed last week when their small car collided head ou with a large truck 22km east on Hwyl6.

Eldon Lowell Haugan, 39, his common-law wife Geraldine Ivy Costello, 38, and her son Ryan Costeilo, 9, all died in collision at about 10 p.m. March 10.

Police s ay the family's vehicle appeared to bare crossed the centre line and into the path of the oncom- ing truck. The car was torn into two pieces on impact.

Police say the family likely died iustantly, as none were alive when RCMP arrived at the scene. The driver o f the semi truck was treated=for minor injuries and released.

Sgt. Darcy Gollan of Terrace RCMP notes that road conditions were slippery at the time. The accident is still under investigation.

Guns stolen from shop POLICE ARE lookiug for suspects in a break-and- enter that resulted iu a nuniber of guns hitting the streels of Terrace.

Sometime during the evening of March 12, thieves broke into Northcoasl Anglers on Kalum St. Entry was gained by forcing a door at Grace Fell Florist and then breaking down two more doors to get into Northcoast Aa~glers - - a hunting and fishing supply store.

The culprits made off with a large number of weapons, including knives and about eight shotguns and rifles, worth between $300 and $1,000 each. A small amount of cash aud some fishing equipment was also taken.

The theft has Terrace RCMP concerned because' powerful fiream~s are uow in the hands of criminals" and could be used to commit further crimes.

"Anytime someone steals fiream~s we are very concerned," says Sgt. Darcy Gollan.

Gollan points out that these guns can often be sawn- down or otherwise altered to make them into dangerous concealed weapons. Aa~youe with information on this crime is asked to Terrace RCMP.

Miller case turned down A JUSTICE OF the peace won' t be going ahead on a complaint that a cabinet minister did something wrong in having a lawyer phone a judge.

Deputy premier Dan Miller was accused of obstruction of justice and conspiracy when he asked the lawyer to phone the judge hearing the case to restructure the debt of Skeena Cellulose.

A number of creditors opposed the proposed debt package, causing the govenunent to declare itself an unsecured creditor so its vote would force acceptance of the package. Miller, in advance of the judge's decision, then asked the lawyer to tell the judge the province was appoh~ting a person to look into the creditors' position that they wanted more money as part of the debt restructuring package.

The complaint, filed by lower mainland resident Gor- don Wats'ou, s~it] tlf6 phone call was wrong; But the justice of the peace said there was no suggestion of a threat or attempt to influence the judge. The judge did write a memo notiug he did receive the phone call.

It's too much THE PRIME frustration with health care in B.C. is asking questions only to be told there are no answers to what's being asked. And it makes those asking those questions more than a bit ir- ritated at being given the brush off from those who run or have control of the multi-billion dollar, taxpayer-supported health care system. The most common question from those of us

who live in the north is this: Because it costs more than $10,000 to fly somebody south for emergency treatment, doesn't it make sense to spend that money on hospitals and specialists to ensure the services are available here instead?

But the answer we get is that nothing is that simple and that health care is much too complex to boil down to the simple premise that if we spent money in one area, it would save more inoney someplace else. Sorry, that isn't good enough anymore. What is

increasingly apparent is that provincial health care policy continues to be run by dark, mysterious and unfathomable creatures inhabitat-- ing dark warrens in government bunkers who are afraid that if somebody actually found out what really 'went on, they 'd be dragged up to the daylight and have their empires dismantled. Wasn't it just a few years ago that government forces sallied forth from their Victoria fortresses to tell us that what they called local control was a good thing and that more say over health care would be given over to those who use it? What they didn't say was that there might be more control, but it is control over nothing that would be a threat to those who live down south. It's enough to make you sick.

. . . . N o s e n s e WHILE IT is good news the federal government has wiped out the deficit, the bad news is that it is still doing the strangest of things with the sweat-soaked tax dollars being sent its way.

One prime local example is the $80,000 being handed over to the Terrace Anti-Poverty Group Society for a year-long study on unemployment. The stated purpose is to match what resources there are in this area with those who are unemployed and to point out any problems.

This is not to criticize the intent here of the anti poverty group. It has done good work with tenancy problems and wonders with the community garden concept. But this area already has a truck load of employment and training agencies with clients stacked to the ceilings. Why not just spend a couple of hundred bucks on a meeting room, drag all of those agencies into it and see how things are working.

To position yet atlother type of agency in the same field risks that old time government problem of duplication which leads to confusion which leads to frustration which leads to more problems ~ both for those who don't have jobs and for those paying the freight.

He sees red over smoking VICTORIA - - I 've got a waruing for British Colum- bians living north of Hope:

After a victorious campaign, crushing the forces of reason and common sense in southern British Columbia, the politically-correct army of bureaucrats and politicians, bent on protecting us against ourselves, is advancing north.

The Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) has succeeded in routing smokers from restaurants. Good ventilation doesn't matter. Separate smoking and non-smoking areas no longer cut it in the GVRD. Smokers can go where the politically.correct have wanted them to be for a long time - - to hell.

The Capital Region District (CRD) in Victoria is next. By January 1, 1999, all restaurauts, bars, cabarets and other "public" places will have to be smoke-free. And nobody seems to have the gumption to fight the bureaucratic miniotrs, not until Don Rittaler decided that euough as enough.

Rittaler owns file Sooke River Hotel, about 25 kilometres northwest of Victoria. The hotel, situated at a picturesque bend of the Sooke River, has a pub which, ae-

!

HUBERT BEYER cording to CRD rules, must provide 60 per cent son- smoking seating, until all smoking is banned, 10 months hence.

Rittaler has, so far, refused to comply with the 60-i~er-cent rule. Instead, he has installed a very effective' ventilation system. Not good enough.

One day, recently, a woman from the CRD walked into Rit- taler's pub and observed that. there were ashtrays on every table. Why, she wanted to lo~ow. So people don't butt out their smokes on the carpet, said Rittaler.

Next day, CRD officials came back, accompanied by RCMP, and took pictures of the ashtrays. I 'm not making .this up. The CRD, he was told,

is taking hhn to court. Rittaler, by now seeing red,

decided to fight rather than give in. He got himself a lawyer, one of the best, aud told him to take this thing all the way. At last, there's one sheep not willing to be led to slaughter without a fight.

Rittaler is an old pro, both at politics and at fighting city hall. He used to serve on the Capital Region Board as the director for Sooke. As for fighting, in the 1970s, he battled liquor regulations that prohibited dancing or taped music in pubs. He won that fight.

In the 1980s, Rittaler took aim again at liquor regulatio~ks, and his hotel became the first iu British Columbia;4o:b¢,li~. censed,to serve:hard,liquoLasu well as beer in, its : beverage:~ room.

Rittaler's patrons are on his side, even the non-smokers. They thoroughly resent the in- trusion of bureaucracy into what they consider a private business.

Rittaler points out that he pays about $450,000 a year ill taxes, which should earn him the right to set the rules in his own establishment. He also is quite willing to forego the patronage of those who refuse

I

to atteud a smoking establish- , Inent.

So far, the draconian anti- i

smokiug measures are a phenomenon of the south. Just a few kilometres north of Hope, it's a different world, . where common seuse still prevails. But for how long?

This whole anti-smoking , campaigu isn't so much about health, but about what some politicians and bureaucrats think is healthy for the great unwashed. And nobody could better make that point than C.H. Lewis iu 'God in the Docks':

" O f . all the tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for tile good of its victims may be the most

|

oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than und/:r" omnip0teut moral .... busybodies. , ,

"The ' robber baro~'S cruelty may sometimes sleep, his

I

cupidity may at some point be satiated. But those who tor- ment us for our owe good will tom~ent us without end, for they will do so with the ap- ; proval of their conseieuce."

Be forewarned, fellow Brit- , ish Columbians in the north.

i unish abusers, not victims A N Y O N E IN B.C. suspected of driving while drunk faces an automatic 90 day driving ban. The immediate suspension doesn't violate the driver's charter rights because in Cana- da a driver's licence is not a fight, it's a privilege.

And even if the law did breach the charter, ruled the B.C. Supreme Court, it would be a breach that was acceptable under the charter because of the need to get drunk drivers

especially repeat offenders - - off the road.

Yet iu cases of family violence, the abuser stays cozy at home while his battered wife aud emotionally scarred children must run for their lives.

Until convicted in court, an abuser enjoys the full pro- tection of the law: He's presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. He has the right to remain sileut. He may not be treated as though guilty.

Because she fears the

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI

abuser's threats toward her, her kids, even her parents or other relatives; because the abuser threatens to keep the kids if she leaves; because bank accounts and property are in his name, eveu the most severely and repeatedly abused woman hesitates to leave an abusive relationship.

In a recent Supreme Court decision upholding a second

degree murder charge against a woman who shot and killed her common-law husband after 19 years of physical, meutal and sexual abuse, the two female judges, Madame Justice Bever- ley McLachlin and Justice Clair L'Heureux-Dube com- mented "a woman who is strong, innovative and successful iu other areas of her life may still be a punching bag for the abusive lover."

To escape, an abused womau ueed only phone the RCMP or a taxi. The RCMP will give her a fide to the transitiou house. And the transition house pays taxi fares to its door.

Once she's safe at the transition house, staff will help her apply for welfare, refer her to a lawyer for legal advice, and counsel both her and her children to ease their fears and give them hope.

More available rental housing allows battered women to flee. So Terrace's transitlou

P

house is conducting a drive for , anything you'd give to some- , one setting up a home - - dis- : hes, bedding, fimdture . . . .

I 'm told iu Eugland the , abuser is inunediately arrested and escorted from the home, slapped with an automatic , peace bond, and ordered to . have no coutact with his vie- , tim. Of course, England also has the guts to jail 10-year-old murderers.

Canada doesn't like to get ' tough with criminals. We'd r rather make immcents such as abused womeu and their children uproot their lives leaving behind friends, playmates, teachers. Abusers ~ ahnost al- , ways a man ~ must have their charter rights respected.

Maybe if meu were primary i victims of family violence, the law would change to remove ( abusers ~ not victims ~ from the home.

Get tough or restgn, Ntsga'a leaders told Chiefs accused of

Stories by JEFF NAGEL

S O M E N I S G A ' A na t ives are cal l ing on the i r l eaders to res ign o v e r their refusa l to take a t o u g h e r s tance in t rea ty

i negot ia t ions . T h e Nisga 'a Tribal Council is pressing forward to settle the Nisga 'a land claim more or less in line with the provisions of the agreement-in-principle signed two years ago.

But Ray Guno and other Nisga 'a say their leaders should be fighting for a better deal than that on the basis of the Supreme Court o f Canada ' s landmark Delgamuukw ruling handed down Dee. 11 on the Gitxsan land claim.

"We're calling for them to do the right thing and step down," said Guno, a Nisga'a college instructor and commercial fisherman in New Alyansh.

He said he and many other Nisga'a natives feel the NTC executive aren't making the most of the opening created by the S u p r e m e Court deci- S i o n , viewed by many to s t r eng then n a t i v e claims to abo r ig ina l title.

" I feel and a lot of Ray Guno people feel that they are just not taking advantage of it," Guno said. "We just feel they gave away the farm."

He said he's not sure if the leadership is burned out, or is getting poor advice or if they've simply got too much time and energy in- vested in the treaty currently proposed. - ....

"When someone has a big invest-

giving away farm ment in something they" can rationalize it any way they want," Guno said.

"All the people I 've talked to are very angry," he added. " I ' v e talked to some lawyers. They all tell me we're being shortchanged here."

Guno says the Nisga'a need to seize the chance that Delgamuukw offers, "even if it means shredding the current ALP. document and jet: tisoning the current leadership."

Willard Martin, who runs a bed- and-breakfast in Greenville, also wants the Nisga'a Tribal Council to conduct a full review of their current treaty direction in light of the court decision.

I f the tribal council won' t do it, he said, it should release money to allow people like himself to get independent legal advice.

" W e should have access to the same resources the NTC does because they're not answering our questions," he said.

"They ' re looking for all kinds of excuses not to reopen certain parts of it and I think there's a growing desire among the people to do that," Martin said.

Martin and others, particularly in the coastal village of Kincolith, are angry because many families' traditional territory there has been cut out of the treaty.

The decision on the Gitxsan case is seen as one that might undermine the province's insistence up to now that treaty lands be limited to a small part of a group's traditional territory.

The Nisga'a agreement-in- principle indicates the final treaty will give the Nisga'a 1,930 square kilometres of land - - about eight per cent of their traditional territory.

" I will probably never use the land I ' m addressing but that does not mean my descendents won' t need it," Martin said. "That ' s the way I have to look at i t ."

"And that's the mood the Kin- colith people are in. They want other legal opitfions. And I think they're entitled to it."

TREATY TALKS UPROOTED [] The Nlsga'a have been negotiating a final treaty since signing a March, 1996 agreement-in- principle. It called for transfer of 1,930 square kilometres of "core lands" In the Nass valley (8 per cent of their traditional territory), $190 million, resource rights, access to f ish and wlldUfe, end self.government options. [] Numerous other native groups around the pro- vines have also been negotiating treaties, most expected to be patterned after the Nisga'a treaty. [] But the Gltxsan, whose territory Ip. centred on the Hazeltons, always refused to buy Into the Idea of selecting Just a portion of their territory as "core lands" and giving up the rest. They Instead proposed co-management - - they and the government would together manage land and resources on the entire 57,000 square kllometre tradlUonal territory. The province rejected that and the GIb(sen appealed lower court decisions against them on their Delgamuukwcourt case. [] The Supreme Court handed down Its ruling Dec. 11. It said aboriginal title has not been ex- tinguished, but the extent to which natives still hold title Is up to them to prove. In the Gltxsan case, It ordered a retrial, but continued to suggest negotiations are a better option. Interprets- lions of what the ruling means are varied but most observers agree that It significantly strength- ens the hand of native groups In treaty talks. One likely outcome Is much greater consultation will go on with native groups about land use decisions. The court says In some cases government will need the full consent of the native group and that compensation will have to be paid.

NISGA'A TRIBAL COUNCIL president Joe Gosnell signed the agreement-in-principle two years ago that put his people on the final road to a treaty. But a Supreme Court of Canada ruling now has some of them thinking it's the wrong road.

While negotiations go on year after year, the bill contilmes to go up for the Nisga'a team's lawyers, travel, accomodation and other negotiating expeuses.

Those bills are being paid by the federal government, but it's considered to be a loan that will be deducted later from the $190 million final cash settlement.

Federal govenunent officials won't say how nmch money they've paid on behalf of the Nisga'a so far, but G,no says the figure is around $45 million.

That would mean the Nisga'a have already spent nearly a quarter of their final treaty settlement on negotiations.

Aud every day "hat the talks continue and more money is spear, the final payout to the Nisga'a goes down.

That angers people like Guno, who frequently watch their leaders travel to Vancouver and Ottawa and stay in hotels like Vancouver's Chateau Grauville.

"They 've upped their per diems from $350 to $500 per day," Guno says, adding he thinks that's too much.

" I believe they no longer have the interests of the people at heart," he said. "They're~ia it for

the personal gain. And they could drag this on for a few more years."

As for the money spent on treaty negotiations, Guno says, the leadership just gives a total number and provides no detailed breakdown o f ' how it was spenL

Martin shares Guno's cynicism. "The people on the general exec-

utive board are making something like $80,000 a year in different forms of compensation through reimbursed travel expenses and their per diem," Martin says. " I was on the negotiating team at one point. I know how it works."

While those in charge of the tribal council are enjoying the good life, Martin says, most of the Nisga'a population is unemployed.

"They're getting rich and we're getting poorer," Martin says.

The annual Nisga'a Tribal Coun- cil convention is coming up this spring, but unlike past years, dis- gruntled Nisga'a llke Guno and Martin won't have a chance to vote out their leaders this time.

That's because last year the tribal council changed the rules, switeh- ing from a one-year term of office to a four-year term, so opponents will have to wait until 2001 for a chance to oust the current leadership.

B.C. guns for treaty Certainty words key issue for Nisga'a talks THE MAN who brought the Nisga'a talks to an agreement in principle is now back at the table to bring the final treaty home.

Jack Ebbels, now the deputy premier of the ministry of aboriginal affairs, is also now overseeing the final stages of the talks.

The move is to convey that B.C. is serious about concluding the Nisga'a treaty

something Premier Glen Clark under- scored at the recent NDP convention, saying hewants a final deal this year.

Clark also applauded the Nisga'a for their decision to move forward with negotiations, instead of radically altering course on the basis of the Supreme Court of Canada's decision on Delgamuukw.

While other native groups have talked about pulling out of the treaty process or even launching their own court cases to as- sert aboriginal title, in the manner the Gitxsan did, the ruling has caused barely a stir at the Nisga'a treaty table so far.

Federal, provincial and Nisga'a negotiators are unanimous in saying that the decision is being studied, but has not resulted in sweeping changes, pauses, siowdowns, or other major deviations in course.

The central obstacle to the negotiations now is certainty ~ the need to find language all parties can agree to that guaran-

tees the deal is final and protects all sides. Liberal leader Gordon Campbell is among

those who say natives must "cede, release and surrender" their undefined aboriginal rights and title, in exchange for defined treaty rights.

Those words, in particular "surrender", are a problem for the Nisga'a because they bring connotations of coming out with their hands up as a defeated people.

"That really leaves a bad taste in every- body's mouth," said Nisga'a negotiator Nelson Leeson. "We have a lot of pride. We want to bring this treaty to a close in a way that all of us can leave with our pride intaet and get on with life."

The Nisga'a say the final treaty will ex- haustively set out their rights for all time, and that the three words aren't required.

That 's a non-starter, says Campbell. "When the federal government negotia-

ted with the aboriginal communities in the Yukon, they said they needed certainty and the only way they could come up with is 'cede release and surrender'," Campbell said. " I t ' s absoluti~ly critical. British Columbians want to resolve this issue but it has to be one that creates long term certainty."

Clark indicated last week he is directing negotiators to find some kind of com- promise that avoids using those three words.

Tsimshian to get more say in land use NEGOTIATORS in the Tsimshian treaty talks have agreed to more aggressively explore ways to protect resources before a treaty is reached.

The issue of interim measures - - taking steps now while negotiations are underway - - has long been a big issue for the Ts~shian , who see their future resource base declining each year they negotiate.

The province generally agreed to consult with natives. But the Tsimshian said the consultation. never gave them a real role in decision making on things like proposed developments, logging plans, and new fisheries.

All three parties have now decided that's going to change and a more concerted effort will now be made to give the Tsimshian a real. role.

The Tsimshian will also identify specific areas' they're interested in preserving from logging. while negotiations are underway.

But Tsimshian chief negotiator Gerald Wesley' emphasized they're not out to simply torpedo development.

"We' re interested in a process where we're clearly involved for planning development and ensuring there's a way of benefitting from new developments," he said.

Wesley , Stevenson and it's time tO get on with it," added Alex Bolton, of the Kitsumkalum band.

The Tsimshian, whose territory covers much of the north coast and runs inland as far as the Terrace area, is also interested in establishing an exclusive commercial clamming operation, Wesley said.

Provincial treaty negotiator Mark Stevenson said the action is being taken because interim measures were "becoming a crucial issue to the success of this table."

"There are some things we will be able to do," he added, "and there arc others that are beyond my government's abilities."

Stevenson said interim measures have always been a hot issue for the Tsimshian, but it's become more so since a Supreme Court of Canada decision on the Gitxsan native land claim in decision.

The Delgamuukw case has been interpreted by many natives as strengthening their case.

Stevenson says it's too early to tell what it will mean, but says the case will undoubtedly mean changes to treaty negotiations.

"All of us are going to have to review our mandates nd the way we do things," Stevenson said. "We may have to revisit some of the things we've said at the table."

Wesley said action on interim measures would give Tsimshian leaders something to show their band. members - - w h o are increasingly im- patient for results.

He said expectations have been raised greatly by the Delgamuukw decision.

"We as negotiators have patience," Wesley said. "But our people are giving us pretty dear signs that they may not have the same levels of patience, There's pressures coming towards US."

Yes to condoms Dear Sir:

I reel with wonder at the thought that anyone would think condoms cause teens to have sex.

Think back to when you were a teen. Would the sight of a condom machine or a demonstration of how to put one on have made you rush out and engage in premarital sex?

A condom is more embarrassing than anything. To consider its use mdst cause great anxiety in the avenge teen. I wonder if condoms might even discourage teens from having sex. Condoms can prevent an unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

Teaching kids abstinence can help them make up their minds. Religion and guidance cannon guarantee a teen won't succumb to her/his biological urge.

I get this creepy feeling that those against condom machines kind of want the teen who makes the (possibly wrong) choice of having premarital sex to be punished with pregnaney or disease.

Parents who don't want their kids to be subjected to the apparently overwhelming magnetic pull of a condom machine can always tell them to look the other way, and call on the strength of their God to help them resist the temptation.

The rest of us can cross onr fingers our kids wait to have sex until they are ready. And when they are, that there's a condom machine lurking nearby.

Rock on, CFNR Dear Sir.

Thanks to CFNR for trying to bring some good evening and weekend radio to this town which has lived in the shadow of the Okanagan Skeena Group, specifically Skeena Broadcasters and CFTK Radio for far too long.

When CFNR started to rebroadcast Rock 101 CFMI as its wrap-around programming, myself and a lot of people that I know were beside ourselves with joy. Finally, radio in this town worth listening tol

But once again, we had our hopes up too high and Skeena Broadcasters, instead of changing their programming and trying to be competitive, whined to the CRTC until CFNR was forced to stop broadcasting CFMI,

If CF'I'K thinks it can censor what we listen to by whining to the CRTC and using pirate-like tact•ca, they are wrong.

If you agree that censorship is wrong and the people'! of Terrace have a right to listen to what they want when they want, then join me in writing letters, signing, the petitions that will be circulating and phoning O S G to tell them that they can't whine to whoe,¢er will listen : when something doesn't go their way.

A man's point of view Dear Sir:

In reply to the March 4 letters from Debbie Sear- borough and Karla Hennig.

There is no doubt that shelters and halfway houses are operated at their best by ladies in our society. Never ever have I seen a report of the other side of the coin. I am talking about the man who comes home from the bush or place of work after 12 hours, looking for supper, only to be told " i t ' s in the fridge, stupid" while the couch potato is watching Gilligan's Island.

Ms. Scarborongh lists six items as the reason her job is there - - let me turn this around. Some ladies should never get married in the fast place. They should be de- pendents of the state or province. Please note that n o t . all men are psychiatrists or psychologists m some ladies need one of them ever so often.

Most ladies ending up in Ms. Searborough's care are those which can not look after their own. As the old saying goes, you hit the dog too many times and he will bite you. Tolerance is supposed to be the word but please, both ways.

Marriage is a partnership in a sense, not a male in- heriting a concrete block around his neck. Ladies using the system as some clouds appear is not the answer. Where there grow roses, there are thonis.

As to the RCMP and domestic violence, they have to do what the law tells them but I caution some would be better served to clean up their own yard before coming in to ours. Abuse of power and misconduct must be published in your paper. I can only encourage Ms. Hennig to get to the facts and have them released.

Men in general do not whine, they rather swallow. As a pastor said, men have been crawling on their bellies for so lo,g they do not know how to go upright.

Is this a telethon? Dear Sir:

Applause 98. What is it? Telethon or half telethon, half annual financial report.

I watch on television and attended this function March 1 and was confused by this, mainly how the dollars were reported on the tote board. The phones were not exactly ring off the hook. And then the profits from events were added in and then at the end, bingo profits.

How much money actually came out of telephone? To me this is not a telethon in the true sense of the word. I felt duped. Really glad I did not pledge.

There was also a lack of theatrical acts. Isn't this supposed to be a Terrace Little Theatre fundraiser? Where were the actors? The skits? Something. I 'm confused. Someone please explain this concept to me. Won' t be going next year.

All landlords aren't bad An open letter to: City Council, Terrace

Dear Sirs: Re: March 9, 1998 council meeting. Mr. Hull was making statements as to my fitness as a

landlord without acquainting himself with all the facts concerning the trailer at 51 Kalmn Trailer Park, :

The trailer was in a bad state of repair when viewed by Mr. Gipps but during the pasf year several attempts have been made by carpenters employed by myself to gain entry into the trailer. The tenant would not allow them to enter the trailer.

Several other attempts were made to have her evicted but this was overruled by the Residential Tenancy Branch. The tenant has not paid her rent in full for the past year and any rent she did pay was put into trust with the Residential

CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD

Mail Bag Tenancy Branch. Much of the damage to the trailer occurred during the past year.

If the trailer was so unbearable why did the tenant refuse to move out when requested to do so. It seems to me that the condition could not have been too bad or she would have moved out sooner.

To lay all the blame at the feet of the landlords is not correct. Some tenants do wreck the homes they rent. And this is not the first time I have had problems with renters destroying property.

in washrooms is not going to encourage having inter- course and boasting about it, it will encourage having safe-sex. No matter what, there w i l l always be teenagers having sex. But if we can try to prevent un- protected sex, with condom machines, we can try to lower the percentage of

Condoms needed STDs and pregnancy in this change and we would have town. a condom.

Teenagers, and most likely Yes, we do need time and adults as well, may feel teaching with our academic awkward going into a local subjects to equip us for fu- drug store to buy condoms, ture careers.

We are taught how to use a condom correctly, but if we are too afraid to buy them in public, when will we ever use them?

terminated earlier and who does not now work for Skeena Cellulose, says he's owed $230,360 ($216,360 of which is twice his salary and $14,000 for a vehicle lease pay'out).

Named as fhe defendant is Repap Enterprises Inc. of Montreal, the overall company which used to belong to George Petty.

The suit states Repap En- terprises is or was the owner

pened last year when Repap Enterprises left B.C. subsidiary Repap B.C. in the hands of its bankers, leading eventually to the province buying majority control of the company, which was renamed Skeeua Cellulose.

The three suing employees are Pat Ogawa and Rand Menhinick, who were top executives based at the Ter- race sawmill, and Tom Boughner, formerly general

Pat Ogawa

of Repap British Columbia • Inc., the company whose assets are now called Skeena Cellulose.

Repap B.C. fell into court- ordered bankruptcy pro- tection in March, 1997 after Repap Enterprises bad walked away from it, after loading it down with debt, starting a lengthy financial crisis in the northwest which still has yet to be settled.

The suit was filed in the B.C. Supreme Court March 10.

The trio say they were asked to formalize employment agreements with Repap in June 1996, providing for the severance. amounts should there be a change in control of the~ company within two years.

They also want their legal fees covered by Rapap.

AS- The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, March 18, 1998

Does, health council-..at odds over how to get more money THE TWO groups with primary responsibility for health care in the city have yet to come together in the effort to find more money for Mills Memorial Hospi- tal.

Doctors and the Terrace and Area Community Health Council, which runs Mills, met last week and plan to meet again.

Both groups agree the hos-' pital needs more money but disagree on how to tackle the provincial government.

Health council chair Larisa Tarwick says that for the first time, the hospital is gathering statistics to show the province it offers services which cost more than what the budget it receives will cover.

And she says the province is now at least listening.

"We ' re trying to build a case, and I can speak for the whole board, we ' re working on getting results and we think ~,e.can get some help with the new budget ," she said.

The council asked for, and was granted, a visit from a health ministry official to see how Mills is coping.

Dump costs known IT WILL cost about the same amount to fix up the Thornhill dump as it will to build a new one near Onion Lake, according to a new study.

Regional district staff have just completed a summary of site investigations firom th¢t~o locations. Both a~e being-~c~f~sidered for a potential latgdt-sit¢.~(o replace the' inadequate "£e~ce~'~C-: '.~-~: ~ ........ and T h i n ' i l l dufiips. ~"" '~":~"~"~=:~"

"We ~fd'el :comfortable that we could develop a site a t

_ . . , , ,

either.--.- location, says regional district manager of works and services Roger Tooms. "We 'd like to continue looking at both options."

Toon~ says preliminary findings indicate that the costs of developing the two locations are similar, depending on who uses the Onion Lake site.

Greater Terrace could comfortably use an im- proved Thornhill site for decades. That appears to be the cheapest option if the expanded landfill only received Terrace-area garbage.

But if Terrace were to join with Kitimat in developing and using the Onion Lake site, the price for that option would drop considerably.

" I f Kitimat were to come into Onion Lake, we're looking at comparable costs to if Greater Terrace used the Thornhill site," Tooms says.

He points out that one of the main reasons the regional district con- centrated on finding a landfill site to the south of Ter- race was to allow Kitimat the option to get on board, either immediately or in the future.

Long term, the Onion Lake site would likely still have slighdy greater costs because garbage would have to be transported there.

"We're tired of playing the political game with Victoria and sending stats back and forth. You need a two by four to deal with Victoria, not a bunch of statistics."

"He agreed that we do have some challenges,', Tarwick said.

But the problem, added Tarwick, i.q that the health council is dealing with some issues that are beyond its control.

One of those is the problem in finding specialists to replace those which are leaving.

Another is the lack of population in the northwest to justify the kinds of specialist and medical services that make sense for the people who live here.

"Looking at levels judged on a per thousand (population) is a very artificial way of providing services. We ueed flexibility with the budget and that's what we're working on," Tar- wick said.

But Dr. Geoff Appleton, the northwest representative

on the B.C. Medical Associ- ation, says arguing with statistics won' t work.

"We ' re tired of playing the political game with Vic- toria and sending stats back and forth," said Appelton who attended last week's meeting with the health council. "You need a two by four

to deal with Victoria, not a bunch of statistlcs." "We've agreed to dis-

agree on the tactics." Appleton said local doc-

tors might be more suited to do battle with the provincial government than the health board or hospital adminis- trators.

"We ' r e not in danger for our jobs. We don't work for the provincial government," he said.

But Tarwick cautions that doctors, who are in a separate battle over fees with the

Geoff Appleton province, have their own agenda at work.

"They want more money

and more surgical time," she said.

The same kind of agenda is at work with health care unions who are also in negotiations with the provincial government, Tarwick added.

"There are issues being played out on a different field," she said.

Although the doctors and the health council have agreed to meet agaiu, just who will be at that session is in doubt.

Doctors want nurses and Terrace city council at an open session to air out problems.

The health council doesn't want the council involved and prefers to discuss the issues behind closed doors.

N( ws in Brief Tuition fees still frozen

TUITION fees will be frozen for a third consecutivc year in B.C.

That move met with enthusiastic support from college educators. Ed Lavallc, president of the College In- stitute Educators' Association, said freezing fccs would have a real impact on the cause of student debt.

The freeze will benefit more than 150,000 students across B.C.

The province is also increasing the amount of money available for student assistance by 14 per cent - - worth $13.4 million.

And the province is giving money to colleges and universities to open up 2,900 additional spaces.

Now the province is calling on the federal govern- meat to support a country-wide tuition freeze and additional help for students.

Masset man flips car A 69-YEAR-OLD man from Masset was taken to Mills Memorial Hospital last week after his car rolled into a ditch near Carwash Rock on Hwy16 west o[ town.

Police say the man, who was the lone occupant of the vehicle, was driving east-bound toward Terrace wheu he failed to make a turu. The car left the highway and rolled into a ditch on the other side of the road.

The driver sustained a cut to his hand and bruised fibs. He was trapped inside the vehicle by his seat belt, but later riced.

Terrace RCMP would like to thank members of the public who assisted at the accident scene, in particular drivers from Lomak Transportation.

Kitimaat h o m e invasion KITIMAT AND Terrace RCMP are looking for a suspect in a home invasion last week that left two people stabbed.

Police responded to a call at about 2:30 a.m. March" 13 from a residence in Kitimaat Village. A suspect had broken into a home there and assaulted the male and female residents. A struggle ensued between the suspect and the male occupant, and the suspect fled on foot.

Both occupants were admitted to hospital with stab wounds, the woman was released, while the: man remained in stable condition in intensive care.

The suspect was wearifig a face mask, sweatshirt and sweatpants. Anyone with information is asked to call Kitimat or Terrace RCMP.

Q Why are doctors closing their offices for three days in March? The govermnent's budget for patient care has m n

t ~ out. In fact, it's run over by $70 million dollars, and doctors must work 15 days without pay this year just

so the government can balance its books. Closing our offices-just as major hospitals in BC close operating rooms-is the only way for doctors to cope with this government's chronic underfunding of health care.

Q is this action about increasing doctors' fees? No. We have taken this action because the system needs more money for patient care. Doctors

a are frustrated that they cannot care for their patients properly because of the acute shortage

of health care funding. Already, waiting lists for people needing surgery and medical tests• are dangerously long. If government funding continues to ignore BC's growing and aging population, conditions like these will only get worse.

Q Should the public be alarmed because doctors' offices are closed on March 18th and 31st?

- - No. As they always are, doctors will be on call and k emergency rooms open around the clock. But you

d should be alarmed about the reason for these clo- sures: critically underfunded health care due to this government's refusal to pay for an aging and growing population. The amount of the current overrun - $70 million - is almost exactly the amount necessary for the 4%

increase in population.

Q Have any independent views been sought on health care funding? Yes. Irwin Nathanson, QC, the mediator selected

a and approved by the government, said the following: "The burden of increasing health care costs

should be borne by society as a whole, not by medical practitioners... The position taken by the government is untenable and should be withdrawn." (September 22, 1997)

BC doctors care about your health. Ask the government what it cares about. If you don't like the way these politicians practise medicine, tell your local MLA.

Titanic fever nothing new to local man TITANIC MANIA may only be sweeping the world since the release of the blockbuster epic of the same name, but Pat Smith's interest began long before Leonardo DiCaprio stalked the decks of the movie set.

Even as a child Smith said :his interest w a s piqued when his mother would tell him stories of the great ship which hit an iceberg and sank in the North Atlantic in

1912. Then in 1985, when

Titanic's final resting place was discovered, Smith became really fascinated with the old shipwreck.

"Titanic is a time cap- sule," he explains. "You can see things as they were in 1912."

He was also intrigued with i separation be- distinct

tween the classes on the ship.

Since salvage experts discovered the ship Smith says memorabilia has been slow- ly removed. But that's not

action he favours. an,i prefer to see the Titanic kept intact as a memorial site," says Smith.

And while the movie

As for the love story between a rich first class girl and an artist from steerage, Smith said it did a good job of brhlging the drama of the night home to modern audiences.

"You ahnost forget you're on the Titanic, you're so comfortable with the characters," he says.

The lead characters are fictional, but Smith says there's no reason a similar story might not have taken place on the fateful voyage.

Smith saw the blockbuster movie just once, but has a library of his own Titanic books and movies, coltsist- ing of about 10-15 books and at least four movies.

One of those is Walter Lord's A Night to Remem- ber, the first Titanie movie, filmed in the 1950s.

That movie focussed 'more on the events of the sinking and Smith recommends that fans of the modern day Titanic watch the old one as well.

Titanic is nominated for 14 Academy A wards including best director for Cana- dian James Cameron.

TITANTIC FAN Pat Smith will be watching TV Acad- emy Awards night to see how the movie of the same name fares. He's been interested in the events sur- rounding the great ship for years.

Titanic has prompted increased interest in memorabilia, there's also a growing number of people who feel as he does, that the ship should be left alone.

Smith is full of praise for the movie and says he'll be rooting for it on Academy Awards night, coming up March 23.

"The movie sets were v e r y authentic, very ac- curate."

And he adds the sequences leading to the sinking of the ship were equally as good, down to rite last detail.

Trail

GREENBELT advocates are dismayed by what they're calling the short-sighted decision not to put a riverfront trail in the city's long-range plan.

Terrace Greenbelt Associ- ation representative Lori Merrill said the trail along the Skeena River, behind Graham Ave. properties, was mentioned often last year by t h o s e surveyed about the city's recreation needs.

"That 's what people in this community have dreamed about for years," she said. " I t ' s the whole idea that people can step out of their backyard and go for a long walk and take in our most beautiful natural resource, which is the river."

The area is undeveloped and is to be protected as en- vironmentally sensitive anyway, she said, and therefore it would only make sense to include a trail to allow public enjoyment of it.

Merrill said the river front trail was important to the overall trail network because it provided the potential to tie together different recreational routes.

• She added that the plan was a long-term one that probably wouldn't see anything built for a number of years.

Merrill is urging city officials to continue to look for a way to get the trail into the plan.

She added that controlled, proper fenced access might actually reduce problems the property owners now experience.

"Our access to the river is very limited in our community," she said. "Other communities have huge beautif, i ' miles of green- ways and walk'ways for people to enjoy alongside their rivers."

A12- The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, March 18, 1998

Recallers spent more than did Giesbrecht RECALL FORCES here outspent Helmut Giesbrecht by about $4,000 in their un- successful effort to unseat Skeena's MLA.

But neither group came anywhere near the recall spending cap of $28,968.

Recallers spent a total of $21,437, and claimed contributions of $18,021.

The biggest chunk of spending, $9,400, went for media advertising. Office rental, brochure printing, legal services and telecommunications were the next biggest expenditures.

Of the $18,021 in contributions taken in, just over half of that came from cor- porations, with the rest coming from individuals.

ETS Electric was the single biggest contributor, donating $4,000. Recall proponent Lome Sexton personally contributed $2,045. Wiebe Contracting and Terrace Truck and Diesel each contributed $1,000. Bruce Hallsor, the campaign's Victoria-based lawyer, gave $714. William McRae, V. Froese Trucking, and Bear Creek Logging all gave $500, with the rest of the contributions coming in smaller amounts.

Giesbrecht's defence campaign spent a total of

Helmut Giesbrecht $17,616 during the recall campaign.

Again, the biggest chunk was $6,397 for media advertising. After that came $4,228 for salaries and benefits for paid campaign workers, followed by $1,395 for brochure printing.

Technically, Giesbrecht could have spent double the $28,968, or a total of $57,936, because a second recall petition was filed against him as a satirical gesture by John How. But Giesbrecht said early on he had no intention of using the extra room.

The Giesbrecht campaign

took in $18,519 in total contributions.

About half of that came from trade unions, while the rest came from individuals and non-profit organizations.

The single biggest contributor was the Kitimat- Terace and District Labour Council, which gave $4,500.

Next was the Skeena Tax- payers Association, a Gies- brecht defence group, which contributed $3,197.

Five unions gave a big chunk: the Hospital Em- ployees Union in Kitimat gave $2,000, IWA local 1- 71 gave $1,015, Iron- workers local #97 gave $1,000, the CUPE area of- fic¢ and CAW local 2301 each contributed $465.

The Skeena NDP Con- stitutency Association also filed disclosures as a recall advertising sponsor, indicat- ing it spent $1,918 on advertising during the campaign, and collected $1,032 in contributions. The only listed contributor was the Saanich South NDP, which gave $300.

Also registered as a recall advertising sponsor was the Family Coalition Party of B.C., but the party was not listed as having spent any money.

New boundaries coming CITY OFFICIALS are still optimistic the airport will be within the city's boundaries later this year.

The city has gone ahead with a forma! application to the ministry of municipal affairs to extend its boundary.

Veldman hopes the boundary extension will be finalized by early summer.

BUSINESS REVIEW Out & About

Construction still sagging

TIIE ECONOMIC malaise here is continuing to show up in a slow start to construction.

Construction dropped dramati- cally in Terrace last year after the Skeena Cellulose crisis erupted.

And despite an unseasonably warm El Nino winter that should have given developers an early start, not much has happened. The City of Ter race recorded

just $212,500 worth of building permits to the end of February.

That's way below past years, when the city has consistently topped $1.4 million by this point.

A year ago, the city had recorded five single-family housing starts by the end of February. This year there are none.

The only permits issued so far have been for a few commercial renovations and a couple of small residential additions.

Imports ahoy SOME OF THE rail cars head-

ing east through town are going to be full of steel from now on.

The Port o f Prince Ruper t has landed its first major import deal to bring in 70,000 tonnes of high- grade Japanese steel.

The steel is being transported by rail to Camrose, Alberta, where a f'mn called Campipe will turn it into large diameter pipe for the oil and gas pipeline iadustry.

Band pumps cheap gas Station converts fuel into jobs TAX-FREE gas started flowing through the pumps at the newly opened Kitsumkalmn gas station last week.

And local native drivers immediately began driving the extra few minutes west to gas up for six cents a litre cheaper than in town.

Because the band-operated station is located on reserve, it doesn't have to charge the provincial tax on gasoline to customers who have a status card and band number.

The result is that status natives can fill up for 48.9 cents a litre, while customers who aren't status natives pay 54.9 cents a litre ~ the same as other gas stations in town.

Although the provincial tax on gas is 11 cents a litre, the station isn't passing along the entire saving to its customers. About five cents a litre is being withheld to help pay for the cost of building the station, says chief councillor Steve Roberts.

But while the station may seem to be about cheap gas, from the point of view of the band, it 's about creating jobs and fighting the reserve's high unemployment rate.

Station manager Ernie Gerow says the gas station is providing full and part-time jobs for at least eight band members, plus he says there are about seven students who will also get a few hours work each week to give them job experience.

"There 's so few jobs out there and when young people go looking for a job, people ask for experience," Gerow said. "Hopefully we can provide some of@at here."

Roberts says there's been plenty of interest.

"Some students are volunteering their time so they can leam the

KITSUMKALUM Tempo gas bar jockey Stacy Spalding pumps some of the first litres of gas last week at the band-operated station.

ropes," he said. "They're really eager to get to work."

Besides offering tax-exempt gas, the station has strategic position as the last place to fill up before leaving town for Prince Rupert, and being right across the road from the Fishermen's Park boat launch.

The station was a long time in coming ~ band officials had been planning the project for three years.

The big obstacle was that major gas companies were unwilling to invest in it because land on reserve can never be owned outright - - it's always held in trust by the Crown.

The band gave up on a deal with a big company, built the station themselves, and arranged supply of gas from Federated Co-op.

"They were the only ones who showed interest right from the be- ginning," said Gcrow. "We sent business plans around to all the major oil companies. Most of them wouldn't even acknowledge us with a phone call."

The project also ran into un- expected delays last year after the band found itself among Skeena Cellulose's unpaid creditors.

Roberts said SCI never paid its bill for $177,000 worth of rock

• from the band's quarry, forcing the b a n d to rearrange its financing

plans for the gas station. But Roberts said the band is

hoping to recover its losses because it anticipates turning a profit of at least $100,000 a year on the station.

Wednesday, March 18, 1998 A14" The Terrace Standard,

NATIONAL FASHION plate Skeena Reform MP Mike Scott makes a point while speaking in the House of Commons and by wearing a Canadian flag tie.

MP Scott ties one on in Ottawa review on whether to allow flags and anthem singing in the house.

That review is still outstanding, but meanwhile the Reformers continue to display flags.

Scott says they have also succeeded in instituting a singing of the national anthem once a week on Wednesday afternoons, just before Question Period.

But he says all the' Bloc MPs make a point of missing it and arriving a few minutes later, just in time for Question Period.

Scott says the Liberals and other parties are too con- cenmd about "kowtowing" to the separatists, and says Reformers believe Quebec nationalism should be con- fronted head on.

" I wish they would take their little separatist dream and bury it in the backyard," Scott said.

But most of all, he says, the Bloc is hypocritical by operating as separatists within the federal political system.

"They should go back to Quebec and explain to the people there why they are collecting paycheques with Canadian flags on the top left-hand comer, why they are willing to accept Cana- dian dollars to travel to places like Nagano, Japan and complain about the fact that Canadian flags are flying there," he said. "That is

MIKE SCOTT is front and centre among the Reform MPs using patriotism as a weapon against the separatist Bloc Quebecois.

Like other Reformers, Skeena's MP has a small Canadian flag at his desk in the House of Commons and has also taken to wearing a neck tie sporting a red and white Canadian flag.

And if the sight of all that red and white in the House upsets the Bloc, Scott says he's happy.

" I ' m glad they're offended," Scott said. " I ' m offended that separatists are sitting in the House of Com- InO[IS . ' '

"In any other country in the world these people would be found treasonous and brought up on charges and in Canada they're al- lowed to sit in our House of Commons."

The great flag battle has been in full swing since the Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, when Bloc Quebecois MP Suzanne Tremblay complained that there were too many Cana- dian flags and no Quebec flags visible at the athletes' residence.

Reform MPs responded by waving small Canadian flags inside the House of Commons and singing the national anthem - - m u c h to the irritation of the Bloc.

That led House speaker Gilbert Parent to conduct a

Echools t jrning user-friendly PARENTS or students who feel nervous talking to a find an acceptable answer. Sometimes just having an advo-

' teacher about a problem will soon be able to get help from an advocate.

Parent Advisory Councils (PACs) from throughout the school district are in support o f the idea. John Perras, head of the District Parent Advisory Council, says people in Terrace and Kitimat have expressed interest in being advocates, but no one has come forward yet from Kitwanga, Hazelton or Stewart.

Perras expects the advocates will have completed their training and the program set up for use by April.

Terrace will be joining about 20 school districts across the province who have this program in place.

Perras said local PACs decided advocates would be a good idea here because "some parents arc a little In, tiraidated or uficomfortsble approaching a teacher or administrator."

Advocates can also act on behalfofa student. Normally, when a parent or student has a problem with a

teacher, the two work out a solution together. I f that doesn't work the principal gets involved. I f the conflict still can't be resolved, it reaches the superintendentSs level.

Perras points out that the purpose of an advocate isn't to take sides, or to intimidate a teacher on behalf of the parent or student.

Instead the advocate's role is to help the parent focus on what the real issue is, and tfien work with the teacher to

W H A T ? ~!

CHARLYNN TOEWS

Oh, you wish ~ ON'T YOU JUST hate it when

) you're in a hurry and the person . - in front of you is being so slow?

Oh man, a person could almost, burst from irritation and aggravation.

Our little eat Kip has the right idea: if Nelson the big old cat is moving too slow for her, she simply jumps right over him.

Like this morning. Nelson was standing there trying to remember why he meowed at the door and Kip ran across the yard and hopped over him to get inside before Nel- son could lift a paw.

Don't you wish you could do that in the grocery store? Instead of maneuvering between the slow shopper paused with a huge overflowing cart, reading a can of beans, and a gaggle of teenagers clogging up the: other side of the aisle, you could just jump over the whole lot of them, red little basket in hand.

Instead of saying, "Oh excuse me," then waiting while their brains switched from gossip, or trying to picture palm oil, to register the fact they were hogging the aisle, you could be lightly springing over their heads. If you saw an obstruction of shop- pers coming up, you could take a bit of a running start and leap over them without them even knowing you were there. .YOu could--save.-a great deal of time and trouble; it would be great.

Don't you wish when the service clerk says to you, "Need a hand out with that today?" you could say, "No, but come to my house and vacuum while I have a nap,"

and they would? "Sure, I'll just grab my jacket," the

energetic young person would say, and effi- ciently clean your house, take care of children and start supper.

"Thanks," you could say after your refreshing break. They'd say, "No problem," or "You're welcome," and then skip back to work to bag another order of groceries. That would be grand, don't you think?

Don't you wish there was some sort of way to penn your hair on a good hair day? I mean, you wake up one morning when you have no appointments with great hair - - out of the blue it happens to be completely per- feet. If there were some sort of emergency spray-on perm product you could just quickly apply, you could have that great hair day for months.

Then the next day when you have all kinds of public appearances and photo opps scheduled, you could have yesterday's ac- cidentally great hair again when you need' it. But no, it doesn't work that way.

Don't you wish you could save one cold and dreary winter day for the middle of summer if you felt like it? Your neighbours might be surprised to see so much snow in July and baseball teams would be annoyed to cancel games because it was so chilly and dark, but it would be a nice break for everyone.

Just when it's so stifling all the time and dry and difficult to sleep at night because it's hot and bright, you could say, "That 's it. Today I 'm using February 10th," and wake up to a cool, quiet morning.

Then you could read bundled up inside all day, something dark and mysterious, and

rest because pretty well everything would be closed or canceled because of the confusion.

Then the next day would break warm and sunny and everyone would be so happy the whole town would be cheerful.

Don't you wish real people would suddenly start dancing in the streets like in Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire movies and music videos?

It would take a bit of practice, of course, but that part would be enjoyable. These town-wide rehearsals might even build a strong sense of camaraderie amongst the citizens of our city. This might even completely eliminate the feelings of aggravation and irritation anyone might have because ': they can't jump like a cat. Oh, you wish, you wish.

Volunteer of the Year

Hats off to local volunteers AS GOVERNMENTS trim their budgets, they rely increasingly on volunteers to strengthen the stitches of society's social fabric.

Volunteers are still needed in traditional roles, such as helping seniors or putting out fires, but now government is asking tbr more vo )',uteers.

For example, the attorney general's ministry is asking for volunteers for new community justice eircles. Volunteers, victims and others will meet to figure out appropriate sentences for young offenders and for non-serious crimes.

At the same time as government is relying more on volunteers, B.C.'s economy is lagging badly behind the rest of the country.

That means as people struggle to make ends meet, perhaps working longer hours, there's less energy for volunteering.

In light of this we think there's a special emphasis

behind the fourth annual Volunteer of the Year contest, sponsored by The Ter- race Standard and Over- waitea.

That holds particularly true in Terrace, which is still recovering from a severe setback in the forestry industry.

So if you've benefited

from the actions of a volunteer, or know someone who's devoted countless hours to helping others, we want to hear about that person.

Sometimes just the honour of being nonfinated is enough, says Lovina Tyler, head of the Volunteer Bureau.

"They're doing so much, plugging away," says Tyler. "This is your chance to say, 'Yes. You really made a difference!' "

In the first year Aileen Frank won the honour for her tireless efforts on behalf of seniors. The year after Jinl Ryan was named Volunteer of the Year for the incredible work he's done with the Terrace Com- munity Band and Symphony Orchestra. And last year Carol Zucchialti got the nod for the devotion she's shown to the Pacific NW Music Festival.

Tyler has agreed to be colwencr again, since there's too much possibility for conflict-of-interest for her to act as a judge.

The judges will be familiar faces ~ city councilor Rich McDaniel and Over-

"i i::i!: i !̧ . . . . . .

L o v i n a Tyler waitea mnnager Dale Lufkin have agreed to do the job once more. They'll be joined by last year's winner Carol Zucchiatti.

There are four chances for your volunteer to be recognized. In addition to the top honour, there's also two runner-up spots and a separate award for special set-

vices volunteers. This award was created to recognize volnnteers who typically take specialized training. Examples of these types of services are Search and Res- cue, Victim's Assistance, and volunteer firefighters.

The grand winner Volunteer of the Year will be treated to dinner for two at the Bavarian hut rcstaurant.

And all nominees will be invited to the Volunteer Bureau's amtual luncheon in April.

Nomination forms are available at the Terrace Standard office or the Volunteer Bureau, next to Hava Java. You can also look for nomination forms in this paper next week.

Or skip the form aud fax us (638-8432) all the information yon can about what your volunteer does and why you think he or she should win the honour.

The contest closes April 10 at noon.

Rooms with doors YOU'D think battles over rooms would be something confined to siblings. But in Terrace Little Theatre's new play The Caretaker, the room becomes something more

the only truly safe place in a confusing world.

The room is on the upper floor of a large dilapadated house in London - - t h e year is about 1959.

Floor boards on the lower story are rotting away and no other rooms save this one are suitable for habitation. If you'd call this room fit to live in.

Layers of three or four different types of wallpaper are peeling away. The floor is horrid dingy green. And it's furnished with a remarkable collection of junk.

"The acting has to be deep and intense," says Barnswell. "There's so much going on underneath the language."

Literally. There are three men

battling for control of the room. Two are brothers Mick and Aston.

When the play opens the reclusive Aston is living alone in the room. It's not clear how long he's been up there.

Brother Mick owns the house with Aston, but he lives somewhere else. Just where is left up to the audience to figure out.

Into this odd relationship comes Davies, a xenophobic bum.

"To Davies, this room is goldmine," says director Daniel Bamswell. Barnswell also plays the role of the bum in the play - - complete with a low class English accent, born in the gutters.

In contrast Mick uses sophisticated language, trying to baffle the others with big words, But his brother is just a simple, straight-forward speaking man.

ALL QUIET ON THE SET - - Daniel Barnswell acts In and directs Terrace Little Theatre's upcoming play, The Caretaker. He plays the role of Davies, a burn who covets a dilapadated room, filled with dingy furniture such as this old bed.

S I S T E R S Becky, Toody and Tink grew up on a very isolated homestead in the Cariboo. Now Becky makes her home in Terrace,

Trapping was a way of life HARD WORK keeps thesc three pioneer sisters youth- ful. Known as Becky, Toody and Tink, the three roughed out a life in the Car~oo.

Becky now makes her home in Terrace but Toody still lives at the old homestead at Canim Lake near 100 Mile House.

In 1925 the sister's parents, Everett and Opal Greenlee, hitched up a team of horses to a covered wagon and moved to the Car~oo from Washington.

Becky, Toody and "rink and their sister Edna, who died at 29, were just young girls when the family moved. I t took a month via cov-

ered wagon to make the trip. Everett f'mally chose a homesteading:spot on 160 acresgn Ca nim Lake. ' i '

There was no school, no "hydro, and no road into the homestead. The nearest ncighbours were miles away.

Living in the bush was not without hardship. Shortly after the family arrived their team of horses died of swap fever. S o for a few years the family went without horses, transporting items around with pack sacks.

Since there was no road the family travelled out of the homestead via rowboat. The nearest road ended at the head of Canim Lake, five miles down.

So once or twice a year they would order supplies from Woodwards in Van- couvcr. A typical shopping list would have dried prunes, big buckets of peanut butter, cases of yeast cakes and other necessities.

In the late: fall Everett would go down Canim Lake and usually get 12-14 deer and moose.

Mother and the girls would can the meat for the winter. Becky said a good size deer would yield about 3 5 quarts of meat.

The girls and their father would also fish the lake for trout which they would add to their winter supplies.

Everett was a carpenter by trade, and a trapper and big game guide during the Depression.

Becky and Toody had their own trapline, and they used to ~ ' ap squirrels, weasel, mink, fox and rub-

bits. They'd skin their catch and put the hides with their dad's fur to sell to the fur buyer.

Becky said she could skin 25 squirrels in an hour, but she couldn't beat her mother who could skin a squirrel i~ a minute.

As for school, Becky was about eight by the time she finally went to school.

They would row the boat 14 miles down the lake to McNeil's ranch.

Becky only went to school for three years, then she had to stay home to help on the farm. Later their father

Y V O N N E M O E N

cleared a trail over a big mountain to the Hawkins Lake area and the gifts could ride horseback to and from school every day.

When Becky grew up she became a trapper. She also drove a logging team, skid- ding logs, and drove a lumber truck for sawmills in the Interior.

Later she became a school bus driver for 14 years in the 100 Mile House area.

Toody became a trapper and a rancher and a self- taught violin player. She won a trophy as the best lady fiddler in an old time fiddlers contest.

She also composes poetry, sings folk music and is an artist.

Tink became a trapper as well. She also became a pilot and has worked in the sawmills.

Today Toody still lives at the old homestead. Her husband is now gone.

Becky and her husband Jack live in Terrace near Becky's son Hemy Rosenau and his wife Judi.

Both still enjoy to be in the outdoors.

Good health and good for- tune to these three unique pioneer women.

/ ,sking for help takes courage HE'S CAMERA-shy and reluctant to discuss anything personal. He won't even divulge his age - - but he looks to be in his late d0s.

Donovan Meridith isn't comfortable talking about how he finally learned to read and write. But knowing that gives you an idea of the courage he had to keep pursuing his dream.

Mcridith was born in Jamaica at a time when education wasn't the priority it is today. He doesn't want to speak badly of his birth country, but does say his later attempts to learn the basics weren't successful.

Meridith tried a number of times to learn the basics in the U.S., then in Toronto, but couldn't f'md a situation he was comfortable with . . . .

Finally Meridith moved to Terrace, because "the Lord brought me here."

He tried a few different options for tutoring, and has settled into a comfortable fit with Interconnect and the Community Readers and Writers program at the Volunteer Bureau.

Karen Graham has been tutoring Meridith since the fail, and he says "she's really nice."

Knowing how to read is making a big difference in his

That confidence has given Meridith the courage to start his own business - - D o n ' s Renovations.

He encourages other adult learners to ask for help. "I want to tell others that it's time for them to get out of

the darkness and come into the light. Don't hide it no more. Come forward."

Now that he's found the courage to come forward Meridith wanted to share his own story with others - - in his own words. It 's pictured to the right

,Olympians do Cal proud kHOW DO you get students would jump over either a team. Students were pre-

to study harder than they would for an exam - - and actually have fun too?

Sign them up for Caledonia's Physics Olympics team.

A team of five grade 12 students plus four helpers travelled to the University of BC to take part in the annual Physics Olympics for high school students, held March 7.

Caledonia is considered a powerhouse in the event and the team didn't disappoint said physics teacher Allen Woottoa, placing in the top ranks again.

"All of Terrace should be proud of them," said Woot- ton.

The team raised about $5,000 in order to make the trip. S~dents also put in a solid month of preparatory work meeting Sundays, at lunch and after school, plus putting in individual study time.

"It was way more fun than an exam," said team member Kyla Rice.

"But more work too," added teammate Solveig Adair.

The two, with the addition of Angella Ramsey, won one of the six events at the Physics Olympics, placing ahead of 47 other teams.

That event was called the Derrick. It required the young women to build a wooden ceuntl~rbalanced structure to hold a load o1~ weights much heavier than the structure.

Their structure was a flimsy seven grams, but it held a weight of up to 333 grams.

Another strong event for the team was the jumper. The team had to design a self-propelled structure that

one-metre or two.metre wall. The heavier the structure (within reason) and the higher it could go, the better.

Plus once the gizmo jumped the wall, its landing had to be absorbed, So it wouldn't spin out of control.

The team built a small wooden sliding crossbar, and propelled it with a hugc rubber band. In order to absorb the landing the students constructed a mat of

safe houses on wheels under .a new program being adopted in Terrace.

It 's called the McGruff House program and it allows anyone - - a child or adult - - who feels endangered to board an on- coming bus and get help.

"The bus is a safe haven if you're in trouble or being bothered or threatened," says Mike Docherty, manager of Coastal Bus Lines, which operates the Terrace Regional Transit System.

He said the Terrace bus drivers are all trained to deal with emergencies and have radios that can put them in.

• instant communication with police, fire and ambulance dispatchers.

....... :=;,,, ,,,,~ ~ , ~ ~] .... ....... ' ~ ~~i'i!~ ~,i

Part and parcel with the program is making the public aware that local buses will make stops even if there isn't a bus stop nearby.

Doeherty says drivers will stop on what's called a "flag stop" when a pedestrian alonl~ the route simply raises their hand,

"And the bus will drop people off anywhere for their safety," he said.

The program got a speedy endorsement from city council last week,

"It sounds like just an excellent idea," said mayor .lack Talstra.

There's no cost to the city for the program and all promotion of it will be carded out by B.C. Transit.

Docherty said local drivers are keen to provide the extra service, adding they were the ones who pushed for the program's adoption here.

The elders

F ebruary ' s end and the begin- ning o f March, the waters are always low and clear, the fishing is as s low as fishing

gets. Now, in the autumn o f my life, this doesn ' t seem like such a big deal; there are other things to look forward to: the leaves have fallen and mel ted into the ground leaving the bush transparent like river bottoms under the thin clear winter water. This a the t ime to find a new trail to an old pool, or to mark a cluster o f rocks that will shel ter holdover salmon when it is invisible in high water.

It 's also a good time to visit the elders. The swim club my daughter belongs to has some kind of reciprocal deal with Scars that has me delivering catalogs to the bedroom communities under the shadow of Copper Mountain. There are home businesses, wreckers, houses big and small, bloated and shrunken, shacks and combinations of all the aforementioned, streets that go both ways - - or at least that's what the house numbers indicate - - and dogs everywhere.

I 'm happy to go there and make those deliveries since I can dip a line in the Cop-

per River when my the deliveries are done, and because Dobbie Road is on my route, and that is where Jim Snodgrass's property is, and Gene Lieuwellyn's trailer rests there, perched like a cat on the southeast. comer of it.

Gene Lleuwellyn is an elder. He grew up in a crowd of kids in a small cabin within earshot of the middle reaches of the Kalum River. He logged, he prospected, he trapped, he cruised timber, at times he got up to no good, most of the time he did good, and he still is, one way or the other. On the last catalog delivery I was pleased to see a red and grey Bronco in his driveway. I entered.

Stepping into Gene's trailer is a little like steeping into a sauna. The heat is good for bronchial conditions and arthritis; it 's a small hardship.

"How are ya?" I ask. "Good. . .Good," says Gene, punctuating

the reply with an offer of tea. He does look good, weathered, neat, with that genera- tional sharpness my octogenarian dad and his contemporaries have too.

Because I've had it for two years, I sheepishly give Gene back Ronald Liver- sedge's rare book about the march to Ot- tawa during the depression years. This act leads to talk about the Spanish Civil War where Liversedge and Llewellyn were among the 1,400 brave Canadians, half of whom never returned, who signed on to fight fascism at Jarama, Brunete, Quimo, Fuentes de Ebro and the other battlefields of the Spanish Civil War.

The members of the Maekenzie-Papineau Bat- talion enlisted to fight France and his supporters Hitler and Mussolini because they saw a distant threat to their country; they signed on to fight for freedom and justice. History proved it was' right thing to do.

Gene tells how an appeal by Nomran Bethune from the stage of the Orpheum Theatre in Van- couver convinced him to go, and how, now, there are only he and a handful of "Mac-Paps" left: half of the original battalion was lost in action, the other half taken by time.

A few days later I'm listening to another Elder over coffee. "Saw Gone the other day," I tell Finlay. "He's been catching some fish on the Kalum."

Because his wife Pat has been ailing, Finlay hasn't been able to get out on the rivers for some thne. lie listens to my reports with keen' interest. After that we talk about hidden cut- throat lakes, arid then the eulachon run. I tell Finlay the little fish are in and suggest we drive to Kwinitsa and have a look.

He readily agrees, Soon we're cruising west .on Highway 16.

Atoms host 12 team tourney Locals take on northwest A 12-TEAM Atom hockey tournament had the arena rocking over the weekend.

Teams from all over the northwest arrived in Terrace Friday for the event, and plenty of fans were on hand to cheer for their favourite teams.

A game Saturday morning pitted Terraee's Bargain Shop against visiting Prince Rupert, and it was a classic defensive sU'uggle.

The tight-checking first period saw few good scoring chances on either side. But a penalty by Rupert late in the period gave Terrac~ a two-minute man advantage

HE'S GOT WHEELS: A Bargain Shop player takes off with the puck .during one of the early games In the 12- team Atom Tournament held here over the weekend. Prince Rupert won this defensive baffle 1-0.

going into the second. Terrace had a couple of

good chances, but an energetic. Rupert squad was able to get to the puck first and clear the zone.

Rupert [~ot a chance of their own on a powerplay midway through the second but also failed to capitalize and the score stayed tied at 0-0.

In spite of the fast, end-to- end action, neither team let

up nmeh in the third period. But Rupert's legs seemed to have a bit more drive and that gave them an edge in play.

That edge was obvious when a Rupert player broke away from the pack and out- distanced Terrace's defen. cemen on a brcakaway midway through the third.

Bargain Shop goalie Jor- dan Cownran had to come up with a huge stop, and he

did, stretching out his blocker to knock away a great top-shelf shot.

Thirty seconds later Cow- man was at it again, with another huge blocker save to keep it tied at 0.

Rupert had a third chance on a two-on-one, minutes later. Despite a perfect passing play and a nice one- timer, Cowman read the pass and stacked the pads, sliding across the goal-

mouth to make another great save.

But Prince Rupert continued to apply pressure, and with just 3:40 left in the game, they scored after a wild scramble in front of the net.

Desperate, Terrace pulled their goalie with two minutes left. But a sub- sequent penalty by Rupert gave Terrace a man ad-

vantage and Cowman was put back between the pipes.

But even that advantage wasn't enough to beat Rupert's defence, and the visitors won 1-0•

After the match, Tanner , Nobel was awarded with the Adam Engineering Mr. Of. fence award for Terrace. ~andeep Kondola picked up the Acadia Mechanical Mr. Defence award.

New hockey league has big potential ORGANIZERS OF men's recreational hockey in Terrace are looking to put together a full contact commercial league for next season.

The idea has been kicked around for a long time, but it really took off after the success of full contact tournaments in the northwest this winter.

The event in Terrace was held on short notice, bat still drew a large crowd that really seemed to enjoy the high-calibre action.

"The response from the public was just phenomenal," says organizer Roger Harris. "Terrace wants high-level hockey."

Now Harris and others want to expand the concept into a full blown commercial league with teams from Terrace, Prince Rupert and Kitimat.

Just this past weekend, Terrace players were visiting Prince Rupea for a trial game to measure the interest there•

Harris says if everything works out, there

"There's s lot of enthusiasm for this. The deslre's there and the talent's there. The difficulty is working out ice times.'" --Roger Harris

could be a schedule organized by next season. Each community's team would play two sets of games a month, once at home and once on the road.

That would give Terrace hockey fans one

weekend each month of high.calibre full- contact mens' hockey•

The teams will consist of the best recreational league players and other players who used to play semi-professional or university hockey. •

,There's a lot of enthusiasm for this," Harris says. "The desire's there'and the talent'sthere. The difficulty is working out ice times."

Harris points out that without a second sheet there is no free ice time in Terrace. That means the commercial league would have to bey or trade ice time with other groups.

That could prove difficult, but Harris says at the very least there should be a couple more

' tournaments next year. "We're still in the preliminary stages," he

• says. "But I think it could work."

SCHOOL'S OUT: Youth curlers from Terrace's after school league practice a shot last weeK. ~nars Laura Gunnlaugson and Nina Batjer doing a little sweeping. The school league was a big success this year.

The school program wound down last week at the Terrace Curling Club, bat youths were in high spirits and obviously en- joyed the game•

In fact, the program has expanded fxom 48 children participating last year to znore than 200 this year, coming fxom six different elementary schools.

That meant school chil-

school four days a week for the past month.

And the program's success has club manager Keith Melanson considering ex- panding the program next year to run both in the fall and again in the spring.

"There's a lot of enthusiasm for it," he says. " I f the demand's there, we'll certainly open the facility for them."

Melanson says the program is a great way to get

sport - - an interest that can continue through school and into adult life.

Terraee's b o y s ' high school team was recently at the Provincial Playdowns in Victoria, where they had a strong finish to the season. That team consisted of Skip Shane Burke, third Rob Dennis, second James Adams and lead Brad Gunnlanghson.

School curling isn't the only league w!nding down.

in some leagues, and finishing up in others. The Tues- day Men's League went to the Kevin McDougall rink, while the Thursday Men's League was won by the Da~,e Dennis foursome.

There are also fun spiels happening all month, and coming up are the popular Totem Mixed Bonspiel Mar. 27-29 and the Mens' Log- gets Bonspiel, Apr. 9-12. Neither event will feature all-night curling this year.

Annadelle Kurtz Annie Wittkowski recently attended the Golden Spike toumantedt in Port Coquitlam. It was thek first Level Four competition, so they weren't likely to make the cut.

But the girls' outstanding performances im- pressed judges as well as other athletes, who came from as far away as Ontario and Quebec for the event.

"They did so well," says Lori Schulmeister of the Terrace Peaks Gym- nasties Club. "Their performances really say something about the talent we have here."

A total of 15 gymnasts competed at the event. Wittkowski picked up a bronze medal on the beam, while Kur~z was fourth on the floor.

Schulmeister says there's no doubt in her mind that the girls will qualify at next year's event. " I 'd bet money on it," she says.

CASES "Whose available to move fast? Just got an "Un-

known Trouble" call over the 911 line. Phone dis- connected before the caller said anything."

Officer William Burke and his partner, Officer Lucinda Maven waved to the dispatcher as they sprinted out the door.

"Better send us two other officers as a backup. Never know what kind of trouble we can hit." The officers zoomed to the apartment where the call was

1:32 AM Two police cars swerve to a stop in front of a

house. Four officers, guns ready, dash up the stairs, two

at a time. Officers listen at the door, No sound. Officer Burke knocks on the door, NO answer. "Police, open upl" A big burly, unshaven man in his underwear opens

the door a crack, and looks out. "What do you want?" "Is everything all right?" "Ycah" "May we come in?" "No way," The man tried to close the door, Officer Burke stuck his foot in the space to prev-

ent it from closing. The Officers pushed their way into the apartment. Officer Luclnda hears sobbing coming from the

bedroom. "In there." In the bedroom, the officers found a pitiful sight.

A slight woman curled up, sobbing. Left eye bruised and swollen. "He hit me." "You're under arrest for assault, sir." Officer Burke took out the handcuffs. The man struggled violently. Suddenly, Officer Burke let nut a piercing

scream. "My finger, it's broken." The remaining three officers overcame the man. "We're charging you with assault and resisting

arrest." The man, whose name was Frank, was raving as

he was led away. "You had no right to force your way into my

home. I'm taking you guys to court." Frank was furious. "Your Honour, the police vio-

lated my privacy by barging into my apartment on June I. I told them there was nothing wrong. They should have believed me. If they wanted to force themselves in, they should have got a search war- rant. By allowing them to do this, privacy in the home becomes a sham."

Officer Burke was also upset. "Your Honour, a police officer's duty is to prevent crime and pro- teet citizens. We were completely within our rights to enter that aparlmcnt. After receiving an "un- known trouble" call, we had to see if a crime was committed. Privacy of the home doesn't mean privacy to commit crimes.',

Did the police have the right to enter Frank's home?

Bluebacks big at Smithers' meet

THE BLUEBACK'S development swimmers finished off their short course season on a high note, coming home from a Smithers meet with a number of medals and pool records.

The Bluebacks were one of four clubs competing at the Smithers Swim and Ski Classic two weekends ago. Terrace seat 13 swimmers to the event.

And they weren't disappointed. "They swam their butts off," says coach Joslyn

Bagg. "And they had a great, great time." A number of local swimmers finished in the top three

of their age class. Anna Farrell, 11, took gold in her group, placing either first or second in all her events.

Henrietta Rolling, 14, finished second overall in her group. She boasted several great performances.

. . . . . . . B luebacks also dominated the boys' 11-12 category, • with Edmund Swan and William Shack taking first and

second in that group. Ronnie Sehlegei, 13, finished second in his age group as well.

"Ronnie had to swim one race against a very, very tall young man," Bagg says. "But he managed to keep up with him. It was impressive."

Mos t of the development swimmers have limited tournament experience, so Bagg says the event was a good opportunity for them to meet other swimmers and get used to competitive swimming.

But that's not to say there weren't some pretty fast times at the event. Eight-year-old Allison Knoedler broke four pool records over the weekend. In two of those events, another swimmer also broke the record and placed first, but in the 50 breast and the 25 fly her record-breaking times will stand.

Hayley Gipps also had a good meet, taking an impressive 20 seconds off one of her times and scoring several silvers. Hali Downs and Chelsea Sears had good meets as well.

Bagg says the group had been working hard to improve the front and back crawls, and it paid off. "They 've been really working to improve those

strokes," she says. "It showed." The Blbebacks are now preparing for their coming

long-course season.
