TARGETING TREES to be cut, Shames Mountain project
manager Mark Grabowski goes over the ski run plans with
T.T, & C, Contracting crew members. Moments later the first

Ski run work starts

TERRACE — Work began
last week on clearing runs for
the Shames Mountain Ski
Corporation’s development.
’ Forecasting a trail clearing
completion date of Aug. 4
project manager Mark
Grabowski said a second
crew would follow the log-
gers up the mountain
brushing out areas where
trees had been felled.

The development, schedul-
ed to open this winter, is tak-
ing place on Shames Moun-
tain west of Terrace and off
of Hwyl6.

Work will begin soon on
grading areas‘slated for park:
ing lots, rough grading oi
base area and constructing a .
maintenance building, said

Grabowski.

Grabowski said dismantl-
ing. of the chair and T-bar
towers at Kitsumkalum
Mountain for use on Shames
would likely begin within the
next month but the exact tim-
ing depended on the
availability of a large
helicopter.

“There's. still mot a big
rush on that,’’ he said, ad-
ding lift’ construction at
Shames would not take place
until the fall.

The airlift, he explained,
was safer, quicker and mare
gost effective than dismantl-
ping the ‘itoWers where they
"stood ‘and bringing them
- down piece by piece. After
being brought down to the

conifer fell to signal the beginning of the two-month, trail
clearing project. The new ski hill plans to open this

December.

said they. would be broken
down and the assemblies sent
to a local contractor for
rebuilding.

Grabowski said the timing
of the remaining major
undertaking — moving the
day lodge from Kitsumkalum
to Shames — would depend
on completion of an access
road.

That $2.6 million road
leads to Shames Mountain
from a logging road and
should be finished in late
August. It’s being financed ,
by the provincial: govern
ment.

“We're going to have to.
keep in touch with them on
how their schedule is going,”

Grabowski said.

Although Grabowski said :

snow will probably fall and
stay on Shames at the end of
September, main lift. struc-
tures will be in place by then
and remaining work won ‘the

Young s
on healt
wanted

TERRACE — The Skeena
health unit wants to help young
people to stop smoking,

Health unit director Dr.
David Bowering said last week
the effort comes in part from
realizing that while there are
programs to prevent young peo-
ple from starting smoking, there
are none to help them quit.

**(Smoking) is a
psychological aspect of rites of
passage, but it has long term
consequences,”' he said.

“‘It's easy to become addicted
and the question then is of
motivating them to quit and
helping them to stay that way,”
Bowering added,

He said health professionals
are particularly worried about
an increase in the number of
teenage girls who smoke,

Bowering’s plan is to have all
of the 10 secondary schools in
the health unit area develop
their own stop smoking cam-
paigns.

That involvement of young
people is important because it
will be teenagers speaking to
their peers, he said.

Video distributed

TERRACE — Video copies of
two dramas done by local
secondary students last year on
the use and abuse of alcohol are
now on their way to schools and

. others around North America.

Project Squeeze by Skeena
Junior Secondary School drama
students resulted in a major
length production and one of a
series of vignettes,

Each has been copied 200
times and are being sent free of
charge, said Stephanie Wiebe,
the person in charge of distribu-

tion.

There? 5 also 200 copies of a

documentary on the production

of Project Squeeze.
‘“We have a lot of requests.

list

“Students understand. en
about their peers than do: most wee
qualified adults,” he said.) .

Bowering has submitted . the
idea with a request for-a grant.
to the B.C. Health Care
Research Foundation. and ex-
pects an answer soon... >".

“What we'll do is take a
survey in each school: before
their programs start and then
one afterward. There'll be an .
incentive for the best one,’” he
said.

Students could develop
dramas, use radio or television
or other media forms to create
and deliver their stop smoking
message, Bowering continued.

“‘We could take the best one
and market it to other areas of
the province or even out ‘side.
Or, take the best parts of each
program,” he said. °

Bowering said the idea grew
out of last year’s: Project
Squeeze project in which
Skeena Junior Secondary
School drama students
developed and then toured with
two dramas on use and abuse of
alcohol.

counted,”’ said Wiebe: She,
along with two other members
of the Terrace Writers Guild,
wrote the script for the

documentary.

“We've received requests
from everywhere — Saskat-
chewan, Alberta, even

Floriday,”’ she said.

The project has enough
money to send the first batch
free but will have to charge a

copy fee if supply outruns de-
mand.

Video ownership rights . are
held by the Skeena Health Unit,
the. prime back of -Project
Squeeze and its intent is to have
as many copies as possible in
circulation, said Wiebe.
