‘Burning ban in Terrace? ©

‘Several environmental complaints
due to the burning of grass, leaves
and garbage have been reported in
Terrace this year, and as a result a
ban on burning the offending items
could become law...

A discussion on this topic during
the most recent meeting of city
council arose from a letter written
by Terrace resident Jacqueline
Webb. According to Webb, most-

Grass fires too often burn out of
control and destroy fences and
sheds, or even homes. Sparks and
burning materials from other types
of ‘residential fires also pose a
threat to neighbouring property if
there is a stiff breeze. Beckett says
he is preparing a report for city
council:

Council may already have an
answer to the problem. City ad-

ministrator Bob Hallsor has told
council the issue could be dealt
with through the city’s Nuisance
Bylaw, or by refusing to issue any
more buming permits. The Public
Works Committee has been asked
to take a closer look at the prob-
lem and there may be a response
to Webb’s call for a burning ban
by mid-May.

Terrace Review — Wednesday, May 1, 1991 15

Cookies for compassion was the order of the day at Veritas
- School last week. Kindergarten students raised about $100 selling
morsels like the one displayed here by Christine Leclerc.

people are concerned about pollu-
tion and believe in the "right to
breathe clean air", yet the burning
of garbage in neighbourhoods

continues to be a problem.

Webb points out that the burning
of garbage at the city dump isn’t
allowed; "So why is it allowed: in
town?" she asks. When a beehive
bumer at one of the sawmills was
belching smoke in town, almost
everybody who was affected
signed a petition asking that it be
torn down. The bechive bumer is
gone. Still, Webb writes, "On nice
days I would like to be able to
have the windows open but often
cannot because of the smoke."

Terrace fire chief Bob Beckett
supports Webb’s call for a burning
ban. Beckett has had to field sev-
era] environmental complaints this
year, and in addition to these con-
cerns, he has a personal concern of
the threat posed to private property
by fire danger from any type of
residential burning.

Cookies for Kurd relief

by Stephanie Wiebe

The kindness and concern of
some Northwest residents is. reach-
ing out across the world. Last
week Terrace’s Sacred Heart Cath-
olic Church sent a $6,000 cheque
to the Red Cross Kurdish Relief
fund. "The idea is that these are
our brothers and sisters, and they
need help,” said Father Al Noonan,
parish priest.

The Kurdish relief money was
raised through special church col-
lections, donations, and food sales
from Veritas School. "The people
gave because they understand that
there’s a need," said Noonan, "and
the kids...they think of other little
boys and girls in other countries."
Veritas students raised close to

$700 selling cupcakes, cookies and
hot dogs.

Noonan’s parish regularly. sup-
ports many third-world projects,
including.an orphanage in Brazil
and seminary studies in Peru.
“"The philosophy behind it all is
that social justice is an integral
part of evangelization. This parish
has really been good."

Sacred Heatt church is a part of
the Prince George diocese, which
recently announced a diocesan
effort to send financial support to
the Red Cross Kurdish refugee
fund,

The Red Cross has reassured

church officials that one hundred.

percent of donated funds will go to
the aid of Kurdish refugees.
