Orenda and others must

help stabilize Stewart |

» Dear Sir: .
... Lagree totally with the recent
.« letter entitled ‘‘Thanks, But no
“Thanks, Orenda.’’
“ oTtis high time that the com-
--., panies that were awarded the
“1,000,000: cubic meter North
_« Kalum annual allowable. cul
- = were made to live up to the ini-
-. tial intent of the agreement.
oi’ The three licencees, Orenda,

--,.(since’ sold to West Fraser)
2 2 Were provided cutting rights at
25 cénls ameter on low quality
“wood and $1 a meter on export
- as well as‘a standing green cx-

In retum for these conces-
sions they assumed road build-
ing, replanting and long term
silviculture commitments, as
well as the implied commit-
ment to build a local process-
ing Facility.

The municipality of Stewart
with and for these licencees,
operating for them a log dump
facility in ‘Stewarl and con-

vincing the government of the
day to exiend the B.C. Hydro
grid into the community.

The obvious and understood
intent of this extension was {o
power a value added wood
processer at or near Stewart as

Sport permit by order in council.

per the original intent of the
licence. This intent has clearly
been lost in the shuffle.

As Mr. How stated in his let-
ter - let's get back ‘to re@lily..
Stewart badly needs ‘the
stability that investment in

some type of practical realistic .

wood processing facility would
bring.

It is high time that one or
more of these’ companies bit
the bullet and put their money
on the table, We cannot sup-
port continuation of the cul and
mn concept.

_ Financial pressure growing
to find cheaper health care

Dear Sir: possible, Right across
This is in response to the let- counlry now provinces are
ter. from G.M Appleton in the trying to do more with less.

If there is an ‘‘NDP agenda
to totally control all aspects of
the system’’ as Dr. Appleton
suggests; then why would the
minister be encouraging public
participation in the health sys-
tem.

The government is encourag-
ing greater public involvement
in the health system by in-
creasing public representation
on., professional regulatory
boards and by establishing
community health councils.

Dr. Appleton also makes
reference to **Governments
with a past record of having to
be dragged by public opinion
(often led by the B.C. Medical
Association) into enacting pre-
ventative Icgislation on seat

“March 10, issue of The Terrace
~ Standard,“

damental. reason why this

these were all prior to 1991 he
must be talking aboul the pre-
vious government. This current
government is on the forefront
of preventative health care
legislation.

More resources are going
into communily health pro-
grams such as the hepatitis B
vaccination for children and
‘changes to the Tobacco Sales
Act. More, measures are to
come. Even the school lunch
program will indirectly help in
the prevention of disease.

Investment is a must if com-
munities such as Stewart are to
survive in the long run.

Strong. regional economies

' sequire. sound stable. com-

munities within the region.

We would all be better off if
the North Kalum A.A.C. was
reallocated to a sincere compa-
ny that was prepared to invest
in the long term future of the
Struggling communily of
Stewart.

Dear Sir:

Self-government for nalives
means asking for apartheid and
racism.

Do ‘they hate. the whites,
blacks, and yellows?. It scems
that way. Is this what we want

’ for Canada? ©

Was it bad that teachers in
Catholic residential schoois
forced’’ native children to
learn and speak Enelish? I
was in their own best interest,
laking them out-of their isola-
lion and cultural ghetto.

We immigrants were alsa
**forced’’ to learn English, and
we are happy we were! It gets
us somewhere,

Many natives are still living

in and longing for the stone
age, and are way behind Sikhs,
Chinese, “Vietnamese, and

- other ‘‘foreigners’’ who had to

start from scratch but climbed
high up the social ladder.

Natives should stop dis-

« (Yimination-themselves, get to

work, and join the resi of the
world! ,

’ Sitting around doing nothing
but running gambling halls,
and smuggling cigarettes is
just making a bad name for
themselves,

That money comes in their
pockets without effort. What a
shame.
