TERRACE — Keeping that blank sheet of computer paper, . saving a crumpled handout,-and: hanging onto used paper other-- wise destined for the'garbage, It’s all part of a new paper-. recycling program at Skeena Jr; Secondary School headed by science teacher Dan Houpt. “I’m amazed at the amount of paper we've collected so far,” said Houpt. His class alone accumulated more than 60 pounds of paper in the first two weeks, Half of the classes are taking part and each has empty boxes for white paper. It'll be packed and stockpiled we until there’s enough to fill a truck for shipment to Van-. couver. Houpt hopes to find a . business that brings supplies in from Vancouver that will take the paper back on an empty Newsprint, and coloured paper isn’t being collected yet’ because it must be. recycled separately from white paper. Houpt said the program has classes at the school are now getting involved. - widespread support from both - students and teachers. There's just tons and tons. Of: goad quality, white paper ‘that’s thrown out every day from the § schools,’” he said.”‘‘And everybody seems fo want to do , something about it."”" - The recycling project isn't ex- pected: to turn 6 profit, but Houpt says he hopes the value of the paper will cover the cost of shipping it to Vancouver. “Whether we make money or not isn’t important,” Houpt .. sald. ‘What's important is that ‘by doing this we're raising the. awareness of wastage among students.’” _ Other classes at the school are also getting involved, he said, noting home economics students plan to make canvas bags to’ be sold as environmen- ‘tally friendly shopping bags to help finance the recycling pro- ject. The goal is to collect more than two metric tonnes of paper, he said. "If we can all do, it and keep it going, we should have no problem getting that much.” Oolichan } studied TERRACE — The Nass River oolichan run came a bit early this year but a good start was made gathering information on the life cycle of the prized fish, says a member of the Nisga’a Tribal Council. The council and federal fisheries don’t know much “We want to know where | : they go, what they do to lead to a management scheme,” he said. Nyce added that a managed oolichan fishery will avoid the problems of overfishing from various sources that now trou- ble the Nass River salmon runs. Oil from the oolichan for cen- turies has been a valuable trading commodity between northwest natives. That oil helped give the name ‘‘grease trail’’ to a trading route running MOUNT LAYTON HOT SPRINGS RESORT LTD.

The occasional time there are’ cash transactions.” said Nyce. “Our old people are very knowledgeable about the oolichan but our young people have sketchy information and that’s what we're trying to gather,” he said. This year’s catch is estimated — at 40-60 tons, down from last year because the run came early, Nyce continued. Boy dies ‘tn crash 4047 Lazolle Ave., Terrace, B.C.
