The actual arca of the pond is in the northeast corner of . the Samson’s property and the western end of the Ben Webber property which faces North Sparks. Webber might still have a probl- em, however, even with the pond filled in. What happens if the culvert plugs? Where does the water go then? Talstra admits that there are no requirements as to exactly where Kinkead distributes the fill but Christensen says it is his under- standing that there is an agreement between Kinkead and his neigh- bours and the fill will be distrib- uted as outlined by Talstra. But this raises another old issue. Continued from page A1 Who is responsible for what takes place on private property in that area of the bench? The installation of the 10-inch culvert apparently didn’t require the permission of either the city or the Water Man- agement Branch. Last winter, Dreher said the problem was located within municipal bounda- ‘ries, the city was responsible, and he was satisfied they were taking care of il. At the same time, though, the city said it wasn’t their problem, it was a dispute between neighbours. A discretionary clause in the Muni- cipal Act that says the city engin- eer "may order the release of stored or impounded water that he he considers a danger to life or property" apparently didn’t apply. Another section of the Act also gives city council similar powers. But the city’s position hasn’t changed. Talstra said on Monday that the city tries not to involve itself in civil problems; those are matters for the courts to resolve. And: according to Talstra, this particular problem is a civil matter between neighbours. Christensen and Colongard hold the same view. There is still a chance, however, that the situation at Samson’s Poultry Farm may be resolved. Dreher appears ready to take the bull by the horns and find some sort of equitable solution to the problem, Dreher said yesterday that he is getting renewed com- plaints from Kinkead’s neighbours stating, "The city’s not going to do Lots of light action for firefighters in past few days A fire started by overheated cooking oil caused serious burns to the right arm, shoulder and back of the owner of a mobile home in the Col-Smith Trailer Park last Saturday at about 2:30 a.m. Thornhill fire chief Art Hoving says they transported the © burn victim to Mills Memoria! Hospital and a quick-thinking neighbour saved the mobile home by rushing to the scene with a fire extinquisher and putting the blaze out before the fire depart- ment arrived. The only other fire in the Thornhill area in the past week occured at the site of the Thorn- hill tennis courts now being built by the regional district south of Thornhill Junior Secondary School. Hoving says they are unsure of the source of a fire that destroyed the seat and battery of a bulldozer at the site. It could have been ignited by an unknown arson but it may also have been caused by an electrical short. In Terrace, a small fire on the CNR tracks west of the Skeena rail bridge was quickly extin- guished at about 5:20 p.m. last Thursday. Terrace fire chief Cliff Best says the fire started in a small amount of coal dust that hejnraceg had spilled onto the track. It may have been intentionally lit. Over the weekend, Best says the Terrace fire department responded to several calls but none of them were serious. At about 6:30 a.m. firefighters were called out to the Inn of the West but there was no fire; only an overheated airconditioning motor Tourists — and his wife had to move from a river near Kitwanga when native people in that area set up a protest fishing camp ~ The determining factor that com- pelled them to move on, he said, was a new (to them) $10-per-day fishing fee. "For the two of us, for two months, that’s just too expen- sive," he said. He expressed doubt that they will be returning. The B.C. government airs tour- ism advertisements on a Portland television station they receive at home, he added. "Come to Super- natural British Columbia, come and fish B.C., they say. Well, they didn’t say anything about this."

At 9:10 p.m. the same day, a small brush fire of unknown cause was extinguished in a field above Lanfear Hill and another weekend call turned out to be a false alarm. Best says that a guest at the arena mistook a fire alarm for a light switch. Continued from page At ing guide. Kalina said it is part of the new rivers classification adopted by the Ministry of Envi- ronment to control sport anglers . and licensed fishing guides. The fee is applied to rivers experienc- ing angling pressure and, Kalina added, "unfortunately most of them are in this area." "I’s a management strategy, a classification system reflecting the unique rivers. There is a tremen- dous overcrowding problem. The ihing people come here looking for is rapidly being overrun." Kalina said for the most part the new fees have been well-received by anglers, and he doesn’t believe the cost is prohibitive, "Have you played a round of golf lately?"

When asked what his authority was in matters of this kind, Dreher responded by saying the Heek Brook drainage area falls under the Water Act and under that act his branch of the Ministry of the Envi- ronment has the authority to do "almost anything”. Dreher didn’t say what kind of action he might take; only that he would be review the most recent complaints regard- ing the Heek Brook drainage prob- lem before making any decisions. In the meantime, the memory of what happened to Joey Parsons hasn’t faded in the memory of people living in the area.of the pond, and some are looking towards other avenues for straight answers and a resolution to the problem. A date for hasn’t yet been set for a coronor’s inquest into Parsons’ death but it is. expected to take place sometime in September. There is also the possi- bility that law suit against both Kinkead and the city will be filed by Parsons’ parents. ' A NEW LOOK Coroner remve INN NeEeWeS — by Robert Q. Smith General Manager ; We’re all spruced up and looking great! On the out- probes death At about 1:45 p.m. last Tuesday, 25-year-old Cedarland Tire employee Todd Gieselman was fatally injured in an industrial accident at the Skeena Cellulose sawmill log yard. According to Terrace coronor Jim Lynch, Gieselman was working with a crew changing a tire on a Letourneau log stacker when the 4,300-pound wheel fell from the front of a fork lift, striking Gieselman. He was immediately taken to Mills Memorial Hospital before being transferred to Vancouver General Hospital where he died in the Intensive Care Unit a short time later.
