highway proposal

TERRACE — A joint

statement of support from
Terrace and Kitimat
municipal councils for
construction of a new
highway through the
Telkwa pass drew expres-
sions of outrage from
both Hazelton directors at
the Feb. 28 meeting of the
Kitimat-Stikine regional
district board.
- The Telkwa pass high-
way proposal calls for

_ Management changes begin

_ Airline n merger approved

TERRACE — The only
two airline companies that
provide regular service
between Terrace and Van-
couver are now part of a
single corporation. The

' Canadian Transport-Com-

mission recently announc-
ed unconditional approval
for the purchase of Cana-
dian Pacific Air Lines
(CPAL) by |. Pacific

Western Airlines (PWA).

Objections to the
amalgamation filed by
two unions and a national:
consumer organization
failed to bring about any

constraints on the sale, ac-

cording to PWA public af-
fairs representative Ruth
Montgomery.

PWA has already begun
putting its corporate
stamp on top level manag-
ment in the former CPAL
organization. Following
the recent announcement
of resignations from
CPAL president Don Car-
ty and four of the com-
pany’s senior vice-

presidents, four of the six

highest positions in CPAL
management were filled
with PWA people.
Montgomery said the
combined companies are

undergoing an interim

management restructuring -
as far down as corporate

vice-presidents. When
asked if changes will be
seen at the local level, she

replied, ‘“‘As we go further.
into the transition there.

could be changes, but for
now changes are only
taking place in upper
management.”

. The company is present-
ly assessing its routes and
scheduling, Montgomery

’ said, and a new combined

system schedule will be an-
nounced April 26. She
confirmed the new sched-

Resident disputes rules

TERRACE — Terrace
resident Glen Bannister
recently expressed concern
that as a taxpayer sub-
sidizing the MK Bay
Marina, he is being denied
access to the miarina’s
dock area for fishing.
‘Bannister spoke to the
board of the Kitimat-
Stikine Regional District
Feb. 28, informing direc-
tors that the. gate to the

docks is padlocked and ac-

cess is restricted to boat
owners who have moorage
agreements with the
marina, He expressed sur-
prise that he was denied
admission to a publicly
supported facility, and he
indicated that the publicly
owned docks in Prince

Rupert are open to anyone -

who wants to cast a line
off them.

Bannister said he had
been told by marina
employees and regional

district’ workers that-

restrictions were imposed
to prevent vandalism and
comply with the terms of
the marina’s liability in-
surance, and he requested
clarification from the
board. |

Gordon Robinson, di-
rector for Area C, stated
to the board, ‘‘These
questions reflect the
reason that the. facility
should be disposed of. We

should get rid of it so we
don’t have to face these
kinds of questions.”

Kitimat director Bey

Rodrigo entered a request
that the marina advisory
commission review their
policies and address the
points in Bannister’s com-

plaint.
In a later item of
business, the regional

district board voted ap-

_ proval for renewal of the

foreshore lease for the
marina between the
Ministry of Forests and
Laads and the regional
district for a period of five
years. A tender was
recently called to contract
an operator to run the
marina for a one-year
period from April 1, 1987.

uling will be. directed at
eliminating some duplica-
tion in-service between the
two airlines, but she added
that service increases may
be seen on some routes.

PWA is currently
negotiating with. the Boe-
ing aircraft. corporation
and the British Airbus
firm for purchase of new
wide-bodied long-range

jets for transcontinental - }

routes. Montgomery said
the company’s objective is
‘to acquire between six and
eight Boeing 767-300 or
Airbus A310 aircraft by
1988 in order to offer
more non-stop service be-

tween major centers in ©
eastern and western .

Canada.
Montgomery. said PWA
_ will not file any objections
to Air B.C.’s recent. ap-
plication to begin service
between Vancouver and
several points in northern
B.C., including Terrace.

construction of a ‘new
road westward from the
village of Telkwa up the
Copper River valley to
join Highway 16 just east
of Terrace; the routing

would effectively bypass.

Smithers, the Hazeltons,
Kitwanga and other com-
munities along the north-
ern loop of the Yellow-
head and shorten highway
travel between Terrace

and Telkwa by about 80

kilometers.

‘Director Sheila Ryan,
who represents the rural
areas around. Hazelton,
declared absolute opposi-
tion to the scheme. When
Terrace director Jack
Talstra pointed out the
proposal would require a
considerable length of
time to develop and
evaluate, Ryan replied,

“You can ask me tomor-.

row, you can ask me a
year from now, I’ll still be
opposed.””

District of New Hazel-

ton director Pete Weeber

said it would be an ‘“‘ab-
solute ) Sisaster” for

resident

Hazelton if the plan

materialized. ‘‘We’re go-
ing to take. this very
seriously,”’ Weeber stated.

Weeber’s observations
were echoed in an open
letter addressed to the
mayors of Terrace and
Kitimat from Terrace area
it Jim Culp.
‘‘Smithers. and. the Hazel-
tons are trying to increase

their tourist revenues to

diversify. their. economy
just: as much as the
Kitimat and Terrace area
— a highway by-passing
their communities: could |
be disastrous for them,"
he stated.

Culp argued that short-
term increases in employ-
ment: for Terrace and
Kitimat during road con-
struction would be offset
by the economic effect on
by-passed. communities,
the neglect of other
needed road improve-
ments in the region, and
negative environmental
impact on the Copper
River as a habitat for fish
