IEEE Th Aw yy ew Pe Page At2 — Terrace Standard, Wednesday, May 1, 1997 | at city TERRACE -- Spring may have sprung but Gord Bielman’s grass hasn’t riz. * The problem, he says, are city snowplaws which push salt-laden snow off the street and up onto the lawn of his Munthe Ave. home. That salt destroys the lawn and Biclman’s spent more than $600 in the three years he’s lived on Munthe trying to rehabilitate his grass. “Pe called city hall. Pve ‘talked to the mayor. They say they have 2 crew in the spring that'll come to fix it up but they never show up. it’s the same thing each years” said Bielman recently. 1ey aie wing the snow | Fjustdon’t:wabtto. gels into the lawn, the grass is gone,” he said.

Scientists head for the Kitlope TERRACE — A team of 20 scientists will spend a week stu- dying the Kitlope River valley south of Kemano next month, says Haisla chief councillor Gerald Amos, Amos is working with an American-based environmental group called Conservation In- ternational, which wants the 317,000-hectare watershed preserved from logging and has organized the May 3-10 scien- tific expedition. The team will carry out an ‘ assessinent of fish, wildlife and vegetation in the remote valley, Amos said. Filming for a video an the Kitlope -- contracted by the Kitamaal Village band — will also be taking place then, he ad- ded, He said members of another . environmental organization — the Western Canada Wilderness Committee — will also be in the Kitlope in early June, conduc-. : : ting a tour of the valley to raise money to fight logging plans there. Skeena Sawmills holds cut- ting permits for the area, It has delayed its plans to log — originally set to slart this year — to 1994, and it says it would - sel aside a parkland area sur- rounding Kitkope Lake. But the company has said the efforts underway to preserve the | entire watershed would have a major impact on its operations, costing as much as 36 jobs at its Terrace mill. |) TERRACE: ‘There ‘will be a couple of extra a flags flying at ci- ty hall this ‘month and the local organizations involved. hope it will remind: residents thelr: financial support. is. needed to help the groups help others. .- The Purple Cross flag acknowledges May is Speech and Hearing month, an annual . event for the local Elks. and Order of the Royal, Purple lodges. . ; This Saturday, May 4, representatives of those.service clubs will be holding.a tag day seeking donations to- its § Purple Cross Fund, | oa fund, the local foidges may app-"'f ly for money from it to’ further.
