‘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. Pa 3 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.
