SHIMMERING LIGHTS
spotied over Dease Lake
several weeks ago likely were
from the star Vega,

That’s the expert opinion of
H.R. MacMillan (Vancouver)
planetarium astronomer David
Dodge.

- However, he cautioned, ‘t
wasn’t there, I can only go on
what I'm being told.”

-lionary, low on the horizon
and flashing red, green and
blue —- were spotted at ap-
ptoximately 11:30 p.m. on
Wednesday, Jan, 4 by a num-
ber of residents including two
officers at the Dease Lake
RCMP detachment.

After punching into the
-]| computer the longitude and

datitude of Dease Lake plus
‘the date and time of the sight-
ing, Dodge said two bright
stars would have been visible
to the north of the com-
munity: Vega and Deneb,
- Noting Deneb would have
been higher in the sky and
more to the west than reports
indicated, Dodge said “My
‘personal guess would be
Vega,”
'- The brighter of the two
stars, Vega would have ex-
hibited a lot of twinkling and
‘colours because of the atmo-
sphere the Hight had to travel

The strange lights — sta-

‘through, he explained.

Council postpones plan
to chase Thornhill taxes

The city has given up plans to go
after Thornhill tax money — for
this year at least.

City councillors voted Monday
night to put the discussion on
hold until the 1996 budget
deliberations, a year from now.

They had planned to go to this
Saturday's Kitimat-Stikine
regional district board meeting in

an effort io get Thornhill and .

other surrounding rural areas to
pay part of the cost of supporting
community organizations.

The cily saw it as a way to
share the $130,000 cost with the
rural areas much the same way
those areas already contribute to
operation of the Terrace arena
and library,

The amount of money isn’t

large, but the whole thing started
to look sinister to Thornhill resi-
dents when they realized other
regional district directors —— from
as far away as Telegraph Creek,
Stewart and the Hazeltons —
could outvote Thornhill’s fone
representative and spend Thorm-
hill tax money any way they
want,

Those directors — who are
eager to see Thornhill restructure
and stand on ils own — could
still ram through any measure
they want.

But such an initiative won't
come from the city of Terrace this
year, says councillor David Hull,
who came up with the original
idea.

the Greater Terrace restructuring
underway,’ Hull said, ‘I don’t
regret bringing the item up. It
helped raise awareness.’’

“But to stir the pot — though
not unnecessarily — the damage
might outwcigh the reward.”’

With Thornhill only just begin-
ning to look seriously ai restruc-
turing, he said it's wiser to be

_prudent now.

But if Thornhill residents resist
the idea of restructuring and cling
to the presen! system, Hull
predicted the regional district
board will begin to “‘tighten the
serews’’ on them.

‘Tf the outcome is the status
quo the city will likely vigorously
pursue it (community grants cost-
sharing) the following year,”
Hull said.

More remote direclors might
take an even ‘harder line, be sug-
gested, and pass extreme
Measures to force mandatory
building inspection or literally
anything else on Thornhill — all
at the expense of taxpayers there,
