TO THE TERRACE STANDARD

Writer suggests solutions
to brown water problem

Dear Sir:

I have recently returned to
“Tropical Terrace’ after a
three year stint in ‘‘Snowy
Stewart" only to find that
some things have changed
for the worse,

Included in the changes are

the following:
The water is brown, Last
fall's washout, weather has
apparently damaged the Spr-
ing creek water shed and this
winter’s warm weather has
likely had something to do
with the continuing
cloudiness of the water.

The district must have say-
ed big time on the snow
removal budget this -year.. I
vote for using this saving on
a proper filtration system,
The trees are missing, Has
Terrace adopted a policy of
removing things that grow?
The ‘‘sick’”’ trees that were

An open letter to:
Helmut Giesbrecht, MLA,
Skeena Riding,

Dear Mr. Giesbrechi:

On behalf of the Ter-
race/Kitimat Construction
Assaciation, we would like to
express our support for the

mill project.

Our association represents
local trade contractors from
all segments of the construc-
tion industry. We, in turn,
are part of the provincial and
national construction
associations. -

In our opinion, the provin-

cial review process has been ~

unduly delayed. Since the
public has had ample oppor-
tunity to voice. its concerns

and the review process has."
not disclosed any serious ©

problems, we believe: this
project should proceed im-
mediately.

It is obvious that there is

widespread support for this .- 7

project within the Skeena
region, as evidenced by the
efforts of the City of Terrace

and the Kitimat Chamber of |

Commerce, for example.

Mr. Giesbrecht, we would. .

like to know where you stand
regarding this

Orenda Pulp Mill project.
Yours,
Colin, Carlsen,

removed along Halliwell
have not be replaced
although some cedars have
been planted along Sparks
Street.

But the city put up a chain
link fence instead of fixing
the old style fence that sur-
rounded the Heritage site.
More money wasted that
could have been used
towards clear water.

Other trees have gone
A.W.O.L. (Absent With Out
Leaves). Recent removal of
trees on the Kalum Hill does
nothing for soil stability.and
topping them may have been
a better idea, Removing them
is interesting, but didn’t they
do that on Lanfear Hill a few
years ago?

Crosswalks from Hell.
More crosswalks are propsed
along Kalum Street. Has
anyone from the city counted

the number of crosswalks
already on this stretch of
road?

Maybe they shouldn’t.
That would waste money
that could be used toward
that water filtration system.

I think people would
rather have clean water than
having to walk an extra block
to cross the road safely.
(They should paint the ex-
isting cross walks before put-
ting more in).

$30,000 expansion. The ci-
ty wants to spend 30,000
dollars on a new traffic light
all because Safeway is expan-
ding and the road had to be
moved.

1 wonder how much
money Safeway makes by
selling drinking water to us.
If they want to expand and a
traffic light is truly needed
then why can’t they be good

corporate citizens and pay
for it.

This would then allow the
city to save that much more

toward that crystal clear
water.
No sheet! Does brown

water take longer to freeze?
Spending a half a million
bucks on a second sheet of
ice should be left to the
private sector—.

Everyone in Terrace drinks
water ... not everyone skates.
I can almost ‘‘not taste’’ that
cool, clear water now.

I] would like the city to
publish a list of other ‘‘ideas
that don’t hold water’’ that
they intend to spend my tax
dollars on, and let them be
warmed ... the whiner is
back.

Dehydratingly yours,
C. Spanel,
Terrace, B.C.
