TERRACE — B.C.’s environ-

of environmentatists, says Skeena
_ Reform Party candidate Mike
Scott.

- .He-was responding to enyiron-
ment minister John Cashore’s
recent four-day trip to the Kitlope
River valley.

‘Before the decision lo turn the
Taishenshini into a park, John
-Cashore went on a whitewater
rafting trip down the. Talshenshint
River,” Scott said. -

- Keeping that in mind, he said, »
Cashore’s latest trip doesn’ t bode

well for the Terrace and Kitimat

forest industry jobs that depend
on the Kitlope.

interest groups in the Tat and he’s

Sunset development
plan angers resident

TERRACE — Sunset Drive arca
residents want council to abandon
a plan to help a developer build
there.

Jack and Susan Peters want a
development variance permit
from the cily that would allow
them to build a house only 11 feet
from the street, instead..of the
normal 25-foot minimum setback.

They are seeking the variance
for five lots on the street.

The city’s: planning commitiee
had recommended approval of the
application.

But council sent the application
back to committee for more study

after hearing concerns of resi-

dents at last week’s meeting.
Opponents claim some of the

lots are too small to build on and

‘any attempt to do so will create

erosion problems.
At the back of the lots is a steep
escarpment going. downhill to lots

_on Med:ek St.

Resident ‘Anne Hill described
the lots as. ‘“‘swamp’’ and said
they shouldn’t be developed.

‘We don’t feel lots 3, 7 and &

should ever be developed,’’ said
Hill, “They should be designated
green space permanently, so we
don’t have to debate these issucs

again.”

She and other street residents
maintain no variance permit
should be given.

If Peters is to build there at all,
they say, he can wrestle with the
same construction problems they
did,

_ “Who's responsible if there are |
sliding problems or erosion prob-

lems,” Hill demanded.

City planning technician Jack
Hepplewhite also recommended
approval of the permit. '* Without
the variance, the developer has al-
most no chance of developing the
lot,” he said.

Local firefighters’ US trip

TERRACE — It was an eye-
opener.

Fire chief Bob Beckett says his
recent trip to Phoenix, ‘Arizona

- with Dave’ Jephson and Kelly —
_Gilday gave them a look at how a

large, advanced, proactive fire de-
partment operates.

They toured emergency
facilities by day, Beckett said,
and hit the road at night, riding
along with emergency personnel
tocalls,

In 1992 Beckett went to Los

By comparison, Beckett says,
Phoenix was a piece of cake.

There .were heart attacks, as-
saulis, car crashes, drug over-
doses and major fires,

Bul no snipers,

“They're heavily into the emer-
gency medical service,’’ Beckett
said of the Phoenix firefighters.

He said firefighters are also
very aware of the potential for
dangerous chemicals or fumes at
fires.

One fire Beckett rode to in-

There were five serious injuries,
two of which were critical.

He said firefighters. had begun

If nothing Is happening at the particular moment plan your own
activities for the kids. Be an animal tracker and look for tracks in
the mud or wet sand, Have the kids make sketches and sea how
many you can identify or ask your park naturalist about ones you
aren't sure of, Gat to know your insects, on hot day find an ant
and follow it for a least ten minutes, Use a magnifying glass to sea
them better and talk to the kids about their different activities.
Ants, like us, have jobs.

Take a walk in the forest and needle a pine tree. Find ¢ a pine
and try to identify it from Its needles or let cones be your clues.
Try soaking a dry cone later and see what happens, Discover the
dusk and look closer at what happens as the suns sels. Listen fer

_ birds and other creatures that begin to sing as darkens descends. -
