TERRACE — Householders liv-
ing near the 4900 block Park
Ave, will be:pleased to hear of

plans to close the Highway’ ‘s

maintenance shop there, but it
‘ may-be a while before anything
happens. Mike Zylicz, manager
of North Coast Road Mainte-
Tance, says. their long range
_ plans include the construction of
"a new maintenance shop near
the intersection of Hwy. 16 and.
the Copper River logging road,
-but there are several hurdles to
cross first.

First, the B.C. Buildings Cor-
poration, the owner of the pres-
ent Park Ave. site, has to agree
to: the proposal, and then the
Regional District of Kitimat-
Stikine has to approve a rezon-
ing application for the Copper
River site. He says that as far as
BCBC is concerned, however,
they do agree that the Park Ave.
shop is in the wrong location
and they may be cooperative.

- But the regional district may
- be more difficult to convince. At
last weekend’s meeting, board
directors brought up several
concerns. - Among these, en-
-. vironmental concerns due to the
-. proximity of the proposed site to
the Copper River and the prox-
-imity to Kitselas reserve lands
: have yet to be dealt with.
Also, there is the question of
‘s what would happen if North
"Coast -was. unsuccessful in re-

<mewing. theif district road and.

: bridge maintenance contract
~ with. the . Ministry of Highways
when it expires in three years.
<Would the. regional district be

_ faced with another rezoning ap-

“plication from ‘the new ‘con-
- tractor? -

is Zyliez says no. He explains

" “that:two. options are being ex-
“plored. BCBC could build the
ew maintenance shop and lease

-it:to North Coast, or North. -
. Coast could build it themselves,’

" in which case, says Zylicz, they
would probably sell it to the new
“contractor if their bid fails.
_ Another issue raised by the
‘board, whether or not the new
site could pose unfair competi-
tion to the Kitsumkalum Indian

Poet to read

_ A Nanaimo poet described as

‘an unrepentent self-publisher”’
will be speaking at the Terrace
Art Gallery tomorrow night.
Tim. Lander says he has
watched the poets of his genera-
tion grow up to find positions in
English departments, creative
writing programs and Canada
Council reading circuits, but he

‘claims he ‘‘would rather look his .
reader in the eye than read rejec- —

tions from the C.C, (Canada
Council) approved apparatus’’.

The event begins at 8:30 p.m. .

‘‘Yes, we now have your Tavorite selection of Imports!”’

OP cor

Band’s gravel operation, is not a
concern according to Zylicz. He

says that the reject from Kitsum-; |
kalum’s railway ballast rock op- -

“eration is unique:- “It’s a very
specialized product,’ 2” he says,

“A product you can’t get any-
where else.”

The regional district has ta- .

bled. the rezoning request and

invited Zylicz to next month’s

meeting to more fully explain
the proposal. And he says that
hg hopes that all concerns can be
dealt with at that time because
the company is anxious to make
the move soon. It would make

North Coast more efficient be-.

cause they would have every-
thing at one site — maintenance,

Fish issues to be
examined in depth

The Kitimat-Stikine Regional
District’s submission to the Min-
istry of Environment’s Recrea-
tion Fisheries Branch in re-
sponse to a discussion paper,
“A New Approach to Guide
Angling Management”, is still
one of controversy. At the

-board’s March meeting, the pri-

ority given to various users of
the fishery resource caused con-
siderable debate.

‘The board agreed on an
amendment that called for fed-
eral and provincial authorities to
work together, but a motion
made by Kitimat director Chee
Ling, that would have recog-
nized the sports fisherman as an’
equal to commercial and Native
users, was defeated. According
to Ling, his motion would have
“eliminated the notion that the
sport fishing sector is the lowest
priority’,

“Hazelton director Gordon Se-

bastion -was disturbed by Ling’s
thinking, however, and he made
another motion at last week-
end’s meeting that was adopted

by the balance of the board. The:

regional district will form a sub-
committee on fisheries policy
that will seek more local input,

deal directly with fishery issues, |

and make recommendations to
the board.

According to Sebastion, fish- |
_ ery issues are a “hot item’ and

the board has been making deci-

sions with too little first hand,

knowledge. He pointed out that
on their recent submission to the
Ministry of Environment they
had input from local guide/out-
fitters but other users were left

ut, “We should contact all
parties before we make any deci-
sions,” he said. “Different in-
terest: groups should be in-
volved.”’. _
