The idea received endorsement from Ter- race city council at a meeting held Oct. 27, but its finalization will de- pend on a decision by the Ministry of Forests and Lands. The concept was originally proposed by the administration of the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District to .the Terrace Tourism and Economic Advisory Committee, and afterward the Minister of Forests and Lands, Jack Kempf, was 2. approached, Further “progress has been delayed, however, by the intervention of the pro- vincial election. Although the Omineca constituency has re- elected Kempf, Premier Vander Zalm_ recently stated he will not make any cabinet appoint- ments until the final results of the Section 80 (unregistered) vote are in and the membership of the legislature officially confirmed. The Chief Electoral Officer will an- nounce .the final count on Nov, 4, and Vander Zalm is expected to reveal his cabinet roster on Nov, 15. “When the electorate involved in the regional . district skil hill function voted this summer to close Kitsumkalum Mountain, the regional district withdrew from the operation and jurisdiction over the recreational reserve pro- perty around the moun- tain was returned to the Lands Branch. It was ex- pected at that time that the land would remain a — recreational reserve, but the Lands Branch also has the option of transferring jurisdiction to the Forest Service, in which case it could be in- cluded in the annual allowable cut for the Kalum Forest District. Ald.- Robert Cooper said at the Oct. 27 coun- cil meeting that if the land could be withheld from the allowable cut it could be logged by someone other than a tree farm licensee and the profits applied to the $.6 million capital. debt left over from the ski hill operation. Cooper said the size of the area to be harvested and the poten- tial revenue cannot be | determined until a log- ging plan is established, and the plan will not be drawn up until minis- terial approval is obtain- ed.

Social Credit candidate Dave Parker, a Terrace school trustee in his first provincial campaign, defeated | veteran NDP incumbent wc Frank Howard by an unofficial margin of 1,157 votes. Skeena will return a Social Credit member to the legislature’ for the first time since 1975 when Cyril Shel- ford was elected to repre- sent the riding. The composition of the legislature is current- ly. projected to. be 49 Social Credit members and 20 NDP members, but an extraordinarily high number of Section 80 (unregistered) ballots coupled with narrow margins of counted votes place the results. in thir- teen ridings in doubt. Parker’s victory in Skeena appears to be secure according to elec- toral officer Barbara McGowan, who specu- . lated that there are fewer than 1,000 Section 80 votes to be counted in the riding. Official results will not be an- nounced until Nov. 4 because the names of unregistered voters have to be compared to names on the registration list to ensure that no one voted twice. Parker received a total of 7,182 votes for 49.28 percent of the 14,572 ballots cast in Skeena. Frank Howard got 6,025 votes for 41.37 percent.
