A year ago — this week — errace city council T approved another contro- out of the Kitselas forest area via North Sparks. and Halliwell a year ago this week. There wete, how- ever, some restrictions. Skeena Cellulose could haul 720 loads of logs in total, but only 20 each day between the hours of 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. The operation was to take place between Dec. 1 and Mar. 15. Dan Tuomi of Skeena Cellulose said the logging operation was part of a five-year development plan scheduled for 1989 to 1994, but added that this would be the only request for a North Sparks haul permit. Skeena Cellulose was committed to developing an alter- hate route to Kitselas, he explained... provided development cosis were shared by everyone having an interest in the area. Interested parties, according to Tuomi, included ihe Kitselas Indian Band, CNR, the Ministry of Highways, the Ministry of Forests and the City of Terrace. | A "logging operation’ on a some- what smaller scale was also receiv- ing council’s attention. A Birch Hill resident had attempted to improve his view by cutting a few trees on the side of the bench and council cautioned that. anyone who thought this was a good idea should first consider their liability. The city alone had jurisdiction over cutting trees on city-owned property, but even if the trees were on private property the land owner would be responsible for any ero- sion of the hillside. HK ity, even after a couple of @ heavy frosts bears were still a problem, particularly in the area of Twedle St. and Lanfear lsewhere in the commun- versial permit to haul logs ° Hill. And Hallowe’en pranksters, . perhaps better described as van- dals, had begun their work early. Fireworks, as always, were a prob- lem but a few were going even further. A dumpster was set ablaze - behind Elker Auto Supply, a couple of Molotov cocktails were thrown at Skeena school, and an empty baby carriage was lit on fire inside the bandshell. None of these incidents caused serious damage. The RCMP were busy with traf- fic violaters as well. Seven motor vehicle accidents were reported and two pedestrians were injured in separate incidents. One pedes- trian was struck while using a crosswalk at Greig and Emerson and the other was hit at Kalum and Lazelle. The drivers in both cases where charged with failing to yield to a pedestrian. During this same period four charges were laid for impaired driving and seven 24-hour suspensions were handed out. Further afield, the Skylink appeal on the revocation of their operating certificate was on hold for an indefinite length of time. Moments ‘after the Civil Aviation Tribunal began the proceedings, Skylink’s attorney received two volumes of background information from Transport Canada and asked for an adjournment, saying it would take considerable time to review the information. On the brighter side of the law, Dennis Griffiths and Martin Parks received "Living Proof awards from ICBC. The use of seat belts had saved the lives of the two Ministry of Highways employees when their vehicle was struck by a large falling rock near Glacier Lake on Highway 37.

McColl, a Skeena Secondary gra- duate, was practising law in West Vancouver at the time of the ap- pointment. I directors of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine went on record as being in opposi- tion to the establishment of a liquor store at Meziadin Junction. During their October meeting, the board expressed concern about the lack of. cohesive planning in the Meziadin area and said they would not give "ad hoc" approvals to land referrals and other development proposals until an appropriate development plan was in place. And the regional board was also fuming over another issue... pre- scribed burns on clear-cut forest lands. Boatd members therefore quickly approved a motion made by director Les Watmough that called for a ban on all prescribed burns within a 10-mile radius of the Terrace airport. "It’s strictly a motion for the elimination of n regional news, the board of -hazards to flights," Watmough explained. In the business world, - AirBC added a third flight on their North- ~ west run. According to a. company spokesman, the addition of an afternoon flight would make it easier for Northwest residents to connect with other AirBC and Air Canada flights in Vancouver. At the same. time, Alcan announced a quarterly dividend of 28 cents U.S. per Common Share but Repap announced a profit decline. A Repap spokesman blamed a rise in the Canadian dollar and.a fire that temporarily shut down their Watson Island pulp mili for the decline. Still, the company reported $19.6 million in profits; this compared to $233 million in 1988. On the health care scene, Mills Memorial Hospital was considering some new services for the area, The province had just announced the Hospital/Community Partner- ship Program and this made it possible to give serious considera- tion to four new services. Palliative cate would provide nursing care in a residential setting for the ter- minally ill, adult day care would provide something for seniors living on their own during the day, short-term treatment and assess- ment would provide a measure of preventative medicine and reduce the demands on acute care, and day care for psychiatric patients might put the old Mills Memorial nurses’ residence to good use. I modes broke Kitimat’s. hold on the Northwest zone title a year ago this week. The win came on Terrace soil; Kitimat forfeited the right to host the finals in their community due to poor field con- ditiéns. The 4-0 win meant the Kermodes were on their way to the provincial finals in Burnaby and fund raising for the trip was under- way. n sports, the Caledonia Ker- Poppy Campaign begins Contributed by Peter Crompton | By now you will: have seen _ members of the Branch 13 Ter- race out around town selling wreaths for the Royal Canadian Legion’s Remembrance Day campaign. a On Friday, Nov. 2 and again on Saturday, Nov. 3, there will be members of the Branch and members of the 747 Squadron of the Air Cadets out around town and in the Mall on our once-a- year Poppy Campaign. The Poppy is the symbol! of Remembrance and funds are used for the following: assis- tance to ex-service personnel and their dependents, low rental housing and care facilities for the elderly or disabled persons and their dependents, communi- ty medical appliances and medi- cal research, day care centres, meals on wheels, transportation and related services, and the cost of poppies, wreaths and sup- plies. This money is in trust to the branch from the community. The generosity of the Com- munity of Terrace has helped us to ensure that our veterans and the needy have been given assis- tance throughout the years. Speaking of fund raising, Cale- donia boys’ and girls’ basketball teams were hard at work raising some cash of their own to offset an unbalanced travel schedule. While Caledonia teams found only two southem teams willing to. travel north, their schedule required five southern tours for the’ boys and three northern trips and two southern excursions for the girls. In the only other school action a year ago this week, the Skeena junior high Tsimpseans came through in style when they won a .10-team volleyball tournament in Prince George. Their display of skill won Scott Hudson the MVP award and Chris Wilkinson a spot on the first all-star team. The opening Terrace mixed bon- ‘ spiel for 1989 was history. The Neil Seimans rink took the ’A’ . event. They were the only rink to finish the bonspiel with a no-loss record. The "B’ event went to the Henry Rauter foursome while the Danny Fisher rink won the ’C’ event. In the final story of the week, a $47,712 upgrade project io the Terrace arena refrigeration system was over budget, but it was said the cost overrun would easily be made up in savings on three other recreation projects. Re-roofing a section of the cast side of the arena was completed at a cast of $14,800, $3,200 under. budget. It only cost $6,200 to — resurface the tennis courts; $10,000 had been set aside for this project. And $8,000 was saved by scrapping a moveable playing field washroom facility. The saving: $15,000. The cost overrun at the arena: $9,712. The net saving: $5,288. The scrapped mobile washroom idea was to have been an alterna- tive to a permanent facility at Christy Park that would provide necessary. services al any city- owned property where they were required. But according to superin- tendent of parks and recreation Steve Scott, the allotted $8,000 fell far short of what was required and & priority list for permanent wash- toom facilities would be. con- Sidered in the 1990 budget. Speci- . fic sites were not identified.
