Logging impacts targeted in study of Lakelse creek A CREEK that was to be diverted to stop the flooding of a Lakelse Lake resort is to be studied under a new provincial program. Scully Creek flows into Lakelse lake and has been edging toward Mount Layton Hotsprings. Last year it Dooded the resort, flooded the resort resulting in a week long closure. Environment ministry officials suspect that clearcut logging in the upper reaches of the creck’'s watershed has contributed to the problem. What's wanted now is money’: from the provincial government’s - watershed restoration program of - its new Forest Renewal B.C. agency to study what should be : Show starts 9:30 done. Salmon habitat protection is a key part of the watershed restora- tion program. It’s intended to fix up crecks considered damaged from past logging practices. A planned diversion of Scully Creek was stopped three wecks ago when spawning salmon were found in a channel from which water was to be directed to anoth- er channel and away from Mount Layton. That diversion. was regarded. as . temporary: pending a decision’ on: | a more permanent solution. Tronically, Forest Renewal B.C, allocated $30,000 for the diver- sion program. Not all of that was $5.00 Cover Charge > Local bodies open up files DOCUMENTS OF local govern- ‘ ments and other public bodies governed by the provincial government are now covered by the province’s freedom of in- formation regulations. Tt means that local citizens now have more access to information. But it also means that some * documents which may have been public before can be tucked away to respect privacy guidelines un- der the same regulations, City administrator Bob Hallsor docsn’t think much will change at city hall because it has had its | own freedom of information by- law for some time. He did caution that some docu- ments — such as plans submitted by developers — may be subject to privacy regulations because they are not public property. “T think in some areas we're going to. have to be a bit more careful,” Hallsor said. The provincial government has designed an information request form and it’s something the city will also be looking at, he said. Also on the lst of local bodies now subject to freedom of in- formation regulations are the regional district, the school dis- arict, Northwest Community Col- lege, Terrace Regional Health Care Society, the Skeena Union Spent because the project was halted. Scully Creek was on a list of lo- cal watershed restoration and Study projects released last week. The amount tageed for the study was $30,000, the same fig- ure allocated for the halted diver- sion program. But that was an error caused by the mixing up of the diversion monies and the plan for a watershed study, says environ- ment ministry spokesman Al ’ Martin. “Until we get soniething definite, the plan fleshed out, we can’t judge how much money will be allocated for the sssess- ment,”’ said Martin. | pe Augie’ ‘Ss Comedy NSE p.m., Friday, Nov. 18 How do | keep more of want out of life? what | earn?
