; The problem of pine
mushroom. pickers trespassing
on Indian reserve land in the
Nass Valley is a serious one, but
New Aiyansh Band Manager Ed
Wright adds that most people
respect reserve boundaries once,

--they are told where they are. He

says most people. simply move to
another area and the problem
ceases to exist, but others soon
move in and they also have to be
told.

He explains that the primary

‘problem is one of competition.

With a dramatic increase in the
number of people seeking the
valuable mushroom this year,

people are looking farther from

home. But, he says, mushrooms

growing on reserves belong to
the natives and shouldn’t be

. picked by anyone but a native.

According to Wright, the
worst offences are occurring at
the old village site, Gitlakdamix,
jJocated a few miles northwest of
New Aiyansh on the north side
of the Nass River. He- explains
that this is not only reserve land
but is also. the location of the
original village before it was lost
in a flood, and it isan area with
strong traditional ties.

He says that the best advice.he
can give anyone wanting to pick

Timber company fined
for habitat damage

Wedeene River Timber has
been fined $17,000 and the com-

_ pany’s owner, Terrace resident

John Williams, was fined a total
of $5,000 in Prince Rupert Pro-
vincial Court last Friday. The
fines stem from charges of caus-
ing environmental damage to a
tributary of a river on the
Douglas Channel south of
Kitimat while constructing a log-
ging road in April, 1987.
According to Prince Rupert
Fisheries Habitat Protection Of-
ficer, Greig Caw, both Wedeene
River Timber and Williams were
charged with ‘‘harmful altera-
tion to fisheries habitat’? and

“deposition of a deleterious
substance’’. He explains that the
logging company had removed
part of the material adjacent to
the river bed to use as fill for a
road under construction in the
area.

-He says this resulted in a large
amount of dirt being washed in-
to the river, causing serious en-
vironmental damage to spawn-
ing grounds. According to Caw,
charges were laid by Fisheries
and Oceans in the fall of 1987
and the company and owner
were found guilty on April 8,
1988,

race. She says the committee has
been preparing for the event for

More nuisance fires

TERRACE — At 9:27 last
night, a report of smoke coming
out of vents at the top of the
Terrace Hotel building sent the
Terrace Fire Department out on

” a general alarm, but investiga-

tion showed there was nothing
wrong, Lieutenant Per Halvor-
‘gen said. However, the person
-calling the fire department did
‘right to report it.

- Garbage - can fires at the
Skeena Junior Secondary School
have become a real nuisance,

Siddon here |

tomorrow

TERRACE — The Terrace and
District Chamber of Commerce
has called a last-minute lun-
cheon meeting to hear federal
Minister of Fisheries Tom Sid-
Chamber secretary-
manager Bobbie Phillips says

‘they informed just yesterday
‘that Siddon will be in Terrace.

The meeting will take place

. tomorrow in the Inn of the West
at 11:45 a.m.

Siddon will be in Kitimat dur-

ing” the morning. °

with three fires being responded
to in the past few days —— one
last Friday and two on Monday.
Halvorsen estimates the cost of
sending a truck and four fire-
fighters out to a fire is about
$200 an hour, if an outside agen-
cy was charged for the service.
However, in the case of the gar-
bage can fires, the taxpayers
foot the bill.

pine mushrooms’ in ‘the Nass
Valley is to consult with the

‘Band Office or local natives first -

to find out where the reserve

boundaries are. He adds that the -

Nisga’ a. don’t mind- outsiders.
coming in to pick mushrooms —
they only want them to stay off
private property. ok.

Wright adds that ‘another
problem created by the influx. of.
a. large number of mushroom
pickers is the traffic hazard it
creates for local people. He says
that this problem has been partly

main road and into New
Aiyansh, where business can be

-done: away from the traffic.
‘Wright asks that. drivers un-
familiar with gravel roads or the -

Nass area exercise caution while

‘driving.

An employee. of a local
mushroom buyer verifies that
forests everywhere are teeming
with pickers, She says that there
are at least five times the number
of people looking for mush-
rooms as there were last year

This lady sings the blues

She discovered her voice just
after leaving high school, and
what a discovery it was — good
enough‘to put her on stage and
in the recording, studio with one
of the greatest performers of the
swing era... Duke Ellington. ‘‘I
like to say that I started at the
top and things have been deter-
iorating ever since,” Eve Smith
laughed from behind the key-
board at Augie’s Lounge in the
Terrace Hotel.

A deep, rich voicé betrays the
joke. She could still be singing
‘“Mood Indigo’? or ‘‘Sophisti-

cated Lady”’ with the Duke, but »

now she’s doing it solo with her
own rippling piano accompani-
ment.

This is Smith’s first visit to the
Northwest, and she says she de-
cided to take the offer from Ter-
race Hotel manager Peter Benias
because she wanted to get out of
Vancouver for a while and see
some more of B.C, When she
was driving through the spec-
tacular scenery between
Smithers and Terrace, she knew
the trip was worthwhile.

Born in Washington, D.C.,
Smith came to Canada early in
her life and became involved in
singing, acting and television
productions in Montreal and
Toronto, Then came Vancou-

ake

ry

ver, and she’s been theré ever
since, performing with her jazz
group at prime locations like the
Three Greenhorns, Estella’s, the
Alma St. Cafe, Annabel’s and
the Hot Jazz Club. More recent-
ly she’s offered her talent to the
Vancouver Blues Preservation
Society by playing the recondi-
tioned Lux Theatre on Hastings
St.

This is Smith’s first venture as
a solo performer, but she says
the piano playing comes as
naturally as her vocal abilities.

She had a minimum of formal '

music training, and in fact her
parents wanted her to be a
school teacher; pop music

solved by moving buyers. off: the “and about double the number of

buyers. This makes the competi-
tion heavy and prices fluctuate
rapidly, a

As an example, last Monday
the price for number one
mushrooms at 5 p.m. was: $37
per pound, up $5 from.an hour
earlier, and she expected the-
price would rise to $40 before
the day’s business was done. She
said the highest price paid dur-
ing the previous week was $68
per pound.

— and more
wasn’t a “‘respectable”’ career at
that time. Her time with Duke
Ellington set her musical
preferences.

And what does she like to
play? Ballads. ‘‘I like songs with
meaning, songs: that tell a
story,’’ she says. At Augie’s,
listeners and loungers can expect
to hear blues and jazz classics by
Cole Porter, Richard Rogers,
Duke Ellington, George Gersh-
win, and many of the songs
made famous by the great Billie
Holiday.

‘Eve Smith will be playing the
lounge Monday through Satur-
day from 8 p.m. to midnight un-
til September 26. _

Terrace City Council decided to

support” to the Interior Univer-
