6 Terrace Review — Wednesday, November 23, 1988

— Sibling rivalry |
on a global scale

Commentary —

by Stephanie Wiebe

This. time of year, I think
about my brother a lot. Fred
lives in San Jose, California,
and our relationship strains a bit
as Terrace weather cools down
and San Jose stays balmy.

For seven months out of 12, I
love my brother. That leaves two
months of resentment and three
of jealous hatred.

T-enjoy the mild summer and
the cool autumn. And the first
few snowfalls are magical. Fred
will phone,.and we can carry on
a normal conversation. But
when-we get into the heart of
winter, with harsh winds, heavy
parkas and driveway shoveling,
I can’t bear to talk to him. He’ll
mention that it’s getting cold,
and I know he’s talking about 62
degrees Farenheit. When I men-
tion cold, I mean 25 below zero
Celsius.

This man travels to Lake
Tahoe each year so that his chil-
dren can play in some snow. We
travel to Rupert to see the warm
rains. This man goes for an
evening walk in a light sweater.
We put on four layers of
polyester fill just to get the mail.
We’re draining natural
petroleum resources to stay
warm, while he’s happy that his
air conditioning bills are low.
How can you talk to someone

Changes
for small
loggers

Interim policies for the prov-
~ince’s Small Business Forest
Enterprise Program have just
been released by the Ministry of
Forests.

Forests Minister Dave Parker
says the program’s new thrust —
to promote and encourage fur-
ther manufacturing through a
new process of awarding timber
sales. called ‘bid proposals’ —
has been very well received.

“There is agreement that this
is the right direction and the in-
terim policies, therefore, reflect

. the new thrust,’’ Parker said,

The minister said the British
Columbia Forest Service
notified more than 3,000 entre-
preneurs about the changes to
the program in July and invited
their comments.

Copies of the new interim
policy are available from the
Kalum Forest District office in
Terrace and from thc Timber
Harvesting Branch, 1450 Gov-
ernment Street, Victoria, B.C.
V8W 3E7.

. Comments on ibe policy
should be sent to the Timber
Flarvesting. Branch in Victoria
by December-15, 1988. .
