LAURA REIBIN is upset at the dissappearance of
her late husband's grave stone from the cemetery.

Desecration of
grave mourned

HERE LIE the ashes of John Reibin, but the only way
anyone would know is by the small marker placed
there by the city’s Parks and Recreation departinent.
The grave stone was discovered missing by Reibin’s
wife Laura on June 7 when she went to visit the site,
“This is a deliberate desecration of my husbands
grave,” said Reibin, who is quite upset about the whole

‘John loved the sea, so I had a big ship engraved on
the slone,’’ she added that she has a good idea of who
might have committed this offence,

“I just wish they’d let John rest in peace,’ Reibin

John passed away on September 11, 1996, and was
well liked by the communily.

Parks and recreation superintendent Steve Scalt, who
also oversees the cemetery, is aware of the missing
grave stone, but only said that the circumstances of the
incident are ‘quite peculiar’,

Loggers call

road standards :

inconsistent

Highways can get away with.
less, practices board told

THE HIGHWAYS ministry
sometimes gets away with
lower road-building stan-
dards than loggers. in the
bush,

That was one of the ac-
cusations levelled at Forest
Practices Board members at
a public meeting last Wed-
nesday.

Terrace-based forestry
consultant Rod Amold said
rural roads maintained by
the highways ministry often
get smaller culverts than are
used When a logging road is
built on the same stream.

He said that situation ap-
plies to highways-

’ maintained roads like North

Eby, just outside city limits
and some roads around
Thornhill.

“Don’t they have to meet
the same — standards?’”
Amold demanded. ‘“‘It’s
kind of hard to explain to
someone why you're putting
in a big culvert on a forest
road when down the raad on
the same stream, highways
is putting in a culvert half
that size. It just doesn’t
make any sense.’’

Board chair Keith Moore
responded that the highways
ministry is not subject to the
Forest Practices Code.

The independent board
handles complaints about
poor logging practices that
might violate the code, and
conducts periodic audits and

reviews of forest ministry
decisions.

The Steelhead Society's
Bruce Hill wondered why
the board gives companies a
month notice of plans to
audit logging.

Hill suggested that could
give offenders time to clean
up their act.

“Tf you warn somebody
it’s going to skew the
results,”’ he said.

Moore said the board
doesn’t specify which cut-
blocks will be audited.

“We think it’s pretty un-
likely that an operator is
going to be able to cover
their tracks,”” he said,

The board’s biggest pro-
ject right now is a caast-
wide investigation of poor
road-buitding practices al-
leged by the Sierra Legal
Defence Fund, That body
issued a report claiming
nearly half of new logging
plans propose cutting trees
on unstable or potentially
unstable slopes. Kalum dis-
Irict cutblocks logged by
Skeena Cellulose, West
Fraser and small business
operators will be part of that
probe,

The practices board is also
investigating at a specific
public complaint against
Skeena Cellulose and the
ministry of forests that re-
Jates to poor road building
practices.
