Terrace Review — Wednesday, September 10, 1986. §

| think that we
should be blowing our
own horn more than
we are right now. We
live in one of -the
greatest parts of the
country and the Ter-
race lifestyle is one
that many urban
dwellers aspire to.
Let’s tell them more
about us so they can
add their skills to our
community.

Bobbie Phillips

' We definitely need
to diversify in order to
bring about a secon-
dary industry. We area
service area for the
Northwest and we
need to get after some
government contracts
to Insure our position.
Also, we should em-
‘phasize our tourism
potential in order to
stimulate economic
growth. An encourage-
ment in the direction
of more community
projects, like a more
extensive promotion of
Riverboat Days, is
bound to start the ball
rolling. Our tourism
potential, as far as
fishing Is concerned,
is definitely a great
factor in our develop-
ment in this area.

The Terrace Review asked:

Roy Greening

| feel that concentra-
tion on the tourist in-
dustry would definitely
get us on the track. We
have just proved that
with our successful
visit from the
Japanese fishermen. If
we can, we should in-
sure that these people
know that they are
welcome to come back
anytime.

Petri Nystrom

We should try to
take more advantage
of our primary
resources and try to
find secondary in-
dustry that will
establish itself here. A
more aggressive ad-
vertising campaign
would tell others of our
potential. We should
try to make Terrace an
attractive place to be
because If our
sawmills packed up
and left here where
would we be?

What do you think the community of Terrace
could do to increase its economic potential? 7

Ore of the most

substantial problems
in this area is the high
fuel prices that we
have to pay. Down in
Vancouver they are
paying almost ten
cents a litre lass for
their fuel than we
are. The government
should give us a break.
| think we should find
some way of training
our young people at a
grass routes level in-

stead of having pro- .

fessors, who think that
technology will re-
place ‘‘experience”’

and manpower, teach-
ing our young people
at expensive univer-
sities. A university
graduate may be the
first to be hired, but he
or she may also be the
first to be layed off
because another guy
with “practical” ex-

perience ‘will ‘get the
job done. There are
two types of knowl-
edge; one Is for peopie
who can explore fur-
ther possibilities and
the other Is for people
who can do a job that
is already practiced.

Vi Timmerman

| think that we
should vote for the par-
ty that will probably
win the next provinciai
election which
Idoks like the Social
Credit. We . definitely
need secondary in-
dustry and city council
should be making an
effort in this direction.

Children's Shoes

A child’s first shoe should be
soft and flexible and should have
plenty oftee room.

Sandals do not make the feet
spread. A well-fitted sandal al-
lows a child’s feet the freedom to
develop naturally.

Member's Message

Frank Howard, MLA for Skeena, says that once
again the north is being discriminated against by the
provincial government insofar as the distribution of
tax money is concerned.

Howard said, ‘‘Expo 86 has attracted record
numbers of visitors while northern areas have seen
either fewer visitors than last year or have had their
expectations raised too high for the reality. Either
way it is the lower mainland and the provincial
government treasury which has prospered.’’

' With Expo 86 attendance predicted to be more
than 20 million, it doesn’t take much to understand
that they will spend a fair amount of money and a
portion of that money spent in the lower mainland
will find its way into the provincial government’s
hands, How much is difficult to say precisely without
having access to government records, but there are
taxes on gasoline, taxes on liquor, taxes on hotels,
taxes on meals, taxes on you-name-it,

Prince Rupert forest region is underfunded and the
demands upon it are increasing. This year the region
was allocated some $10.9 million for silviculture, ex-
Clusive of Section 88 activity. The actual requirement
is closer to $21 million.

Prince Rupert is complaining about a shortage of
funds to complete a section of Highway 16 in the
Prince Rupert constituency,

The Expo Legacy Fund is short. There won't be
enough money to cover the applications.

We deserve better treatment than this.
