fe. The C.N.R. extension north of Terrace, the steel heat, and our Environment with Jim: Culp mill and now the Kitimat to Edmonton oil pipeline are all massive developments. which have been proposed for the northwest, with varying degrees of acceptance by the people. The C.N.R. extension caused a stir among the Nishga Indians of the Nass Valley who said, “Our Land Claims must be settled before the railroad extends its right-a-way through our valley”. Environmental and outdoor organizations reacted strongly against the Nippon-Kokan steel mill proposal for either Kitimat or Pr. George, for a. variety of reasons. The most prominent was the social impact of the huge mill, which would directly add more than 12,000 people to the community where it would be built. As well, the mill would have posed a serious threat to air and water quality, while using immense amounts of electrical energy. This, in turn, could have triggered con- struction of a large power project in the province. On the issue of the oil pipeline, the controversy has been so well documented over the past year, I will refrain from going into the reasons for or against it, as I am sure you are well informed on the arguments that have been put forward. What I would like to address my column to is the polarization of attitude about how our country, province and region should be developed. Environmentalists are accused of being against all development. Business leaders, most politicians and many community organizations have been painted as being in favour of most developmentsand only paying lip-service to the environment and social issues. Obviously both assumptions are incorrect: there are very responsible people on both sides of the fence. Unfortunately, a very similar parallel exists © between the anti-developers and the pro-developers as to that which exists in politics in our province. In British Columbia politics, people are drifting more and more te either the Jeft or right of center, voting on one hand for the Social Credit party or on the other for the N.D.P Both parties have some ex- treme points of view which enhance the polarization of people. It seems strange and it is sad that people who care how this province is being developed are fighting each other, either politically or through issues, such as the oil pipeline. ES SS Barry As PHILADELPHIA (AP) — # Barry Ashbee, assistant = coach and former defen- # ceman with Philadelphia It is understandable that an out-of-work in-. dividual may look favourably at any form of in- dustrial development to solve his or her personal problems. While on the other hand, is equally understandable that an individual with a secure and stable income may be choosier as to what'may be acceptable. We are living in a period of high unemplyment both nationally and regionally. To solve this problem, do we accept any form of development that comes our way, regardless of the social or environmental consequences? Or do we all dig in and have a close look at the lifestyles we are living and question the kind of country we are making for present and future generations of Canadians? Are the organized workers asking for too much? — Are business people pre-occupied with the high profit margin - oblivious to the social and en- vironmental problems, and for that matter, ethicai standards which breed trust and cooperation? Are we all guilty of expecting too much from our country? Can we continue to use up our non- renewable resources at an ever increasing rate and expect renewable resources to be harvested and extracted to their very limit? The greatest single problem seems to be the single-minded, narrow approach by most of us. For example, sports fishermen want more fish. ., and blame the commercial fishermen for the’ decline in steelhead and salmon. unwilling to accept the fact that they may be contributing to the decline - albeit in a small way, by comparison. The organized worker may say, I am not getting my fair share from the economy and pressures his or her employer for a larger paychegye. Business leaders balk at development if royalties and taxes reduce their profit margin. Is it possible for those of us who live in Terrace and Kitimat to somehow get together and work towards a sound and viable lifestyle and economy? Possibly we would be better off if we pushed for development which is more in harmony with the region rather than waiting for crumbs to be thrown our way. As well, environmental and outdoor clubs should be brought into the picture before decisions are made. A good example is the proposed B.C. Ferry Terminal for Kitimat. The Steelhead Society of B.C, supports this development, but is disappointed to learn that it could be constructed east of ‘the Eurocan dock, directly into the Kitimat River estuary. Is it any wonder than environmental groups, such as the Steelhead Society, oppose so many developments? On the oil pipeline issue, I understand that our MLA, Cyril Shelford, may be organizing a survey to see how many people are in favour of the pipeline. By doing so, he may be creating more hostility and controversy. [suggest Mr. Shelford would be doing a greater service for his constituency if he were to solicit ideas from the voting public on how the Terrace and Kitimat region should be developed. A number of ideas such as a plywood mill, a cedar manufacturing plant, more farming in the area, and further development of the tourist industry are areas that could be explored. Rather than en- couraging more disunity and controversy through a survev mn those for or against the oil pipeline, more effort -hould be made to get people together worsn. ‘owards some common goals and urge compre ose rather than polarization.

CFL teams now will carry 18 Canadians and 15 imports this season.

The CFL. also adopted a resolution calling for players on negotiation lists ” to be offered contracts “deemed to be considered reasonable by the commis- sioner’s office.” Gaudaur said a reasonable contract offer’ would be determined by the player's experience in the CFL and the position he plays. In past years teams have kept players on their 20-man — negotiation list for un- determined periods while not making contract offers. Now teams must make a contract offer or the com- missioner’s office will take the player’s name off the negotiation list of that particular club. Gaudaur also said players put on waivers-without right of recall must be notified by the club- in writing. Previously teams did not have to tell a player when this procedure was used. °° Also adopted was a resolution that says players may be placed on the retired list up until midnight of a team’s first scheduled league game. In other years the names had to. be. sub- mitted by June 15, or the player couldn't come back and play in that particular season. Gaudaur said he hoped negotiations would soon begin for a new television contract for the league.

The Cleveland situation took up a major. partion of the twoday.. governors meeting. By a unanimous ‘yote except for one or two abstentions, the governors sought to keep the Barons in the league for at least an- other season by setting min- imum conditions for the transfer of ownership. NHL president Clarence Campbell told a press conference shortly after the meetings ended that it’s now up to Greenberg and his partners to make the deal a reality. Campbell said that Green- herg, a Washington businessman, and his group have some financial obligations to fulfil. ‘The total amount of money available has to be iden- tified and the people who provide it and so on. Andit's got to be escrowed.” Campbell placed the immediate figure in the deal at approximately $3 million and the total obligations involved in the sale by the present majority owner, Mel Swig, at closer to $5 ‘million. Swig purchased the Barons from the NHL when the team was floundering in Oakland and he moved the franchise to the Cleveland suburb of Richfield. But he lost close to $7 million operating the last-place club, including about $3 4 million this season. Crowds averaged under 6,000 this season and it takes close to £2,000, depending on the ticket prices, to break even. NHL owners and the players association had to © il him out last February to allow the team to Finish, providing nearly $1 million in new money. Campbell made it clear that the league is not about to go through the same risk again and wants the money up front before new owners take over... * mo Before the meeting ad- journed, the NHL an- nounced that it was post- poning its amateur draft hy alittle more than two weeks to allow for the settlement of the Cleveland problem. It will be held on June 14 in- stead of May 26.
