A8 Terrace Review — Wednesday, August 14, 1991 Letters to the Editor White Cane Club states position To the Editor; In response to Mr. Gregg’s letter to the editor of the Terrace Review - which appeared on August 7, 1991, I would like to set the record straight. The White Cane Club has always conducted itself in good standing and has nothing to hide and/or be ashamed of. The information in Mr. Gregg’s letter is not correct. The police have charged John MacDonald, not Felix Goyette, with misappropriat- ing funds. We did not and have never accused Felix of stealing. It is surprising to me that he is con- sidered .a "felon" without first being charged with a crime. Felix became president of the fledgling White Cane Club and enjoyed member support. He attended the Prince George mect- Impact of by help fro To the Editor; While starvation and natural disaster afflict millions of people worldwide, residents of Terrace have helped show that Canadian ing, not because he was the “only one willing to attend it", but because he was the only one who did have previous commitments. It is correct that I controlled the club’s accounts during this period, however, the fundraising account was started by Felix and John: MacDonald, and they were the only signers of this account. The bookkeeping for the account was controlled solely by MacDonald. If Felix had suspicious about Mr. MacDonald’s integrity he did not voice these concerns to the White Cane Club: In addition, I asked for a statement from the fundraising account several times from both Felix and MacDonald, and was told that this account was not my concern. > I do not understand how the cyclone generosity is not running dry. Bangladesh, one of the world’s most impoverished nations, suf- fered the most lethal storm of the decade.

Music in the Park To the Editor; The Terrace Regional Museum Society would like to thank all the people who contributed to the success of our annual "Music in the Park" celebration held at the lessened m Terrace sponsors | Olympics Progressive year for Kitselas Band Changes and progress are the order of the day for the Kitselas Indian Band this year. A new band office has recently been built on Queensway, along with a carving house. Stan Bevan, a Kitselas carver, is currently showing two of his carved totem poles at the Inuit Culture Centre in Vancouver. The band is planning a housing development at the Kitselas Canyon, east of Terrace. According to Chief Councillor Ralph Wright, a $2 million contract will be awarded this week to build 20 houses just east of the Kitselas Canyon historical site. Money for the development will come from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The Kitselas band will hold the mortgages and the single-family dwellings will be leased to band members. In June Ralph Wright was returned to the position of Chief Councillor of the Kitselas band after a four year absence in which Mel Bevan filled the elected post. Wright was Chief Councillor for about 14 years previous to Bevan’s term. Although Ralph Wright is believed by many to be the Hereditary Chief of the Kitsclas Band, he says that he is not. Since the death of his grandfather, Walter Wright, there has not been a hereditary chief. Walter Wright died suddenly of illness without naming a successor and therefore took the name of the - hereditary chief with him. White Cane Club has behaved "in a most disgraceful manner" in yiew of the fact that the charges were laid against Mr. MacDonald. Also, Felix resigned as president on his own accord early in the year. I am rather confused that Mr. Gregg has been involved in inves- tigating this so-called fiasco. If he received the correct information, he would have known that the case has not reached the courts as yet and is still under investigations with the proper authorities. If Felix was not ina position to handle the accounts he was certainly welcome to request assistance from other members of the club. .

Food and medical supplies sus- tained survivors in the chaos after the winds died away. I am glad to report that five Bangladesh children, supported through World Vision Canada by sponsors in the vicinity of Terrace, have survived the recent tragedy. The monthly donations provided food, clothing, education and = medicine for the children, as well as helping their communities become self-supporting. Without this help these communities would have been ill-prepared for the cyclone and the casualties in Bangladesh would have been much PUBLIC HEARING TS REZONING APPLICATION TAKE NOTICE that an application has been made to amend the m City of Terrace Zoning By-Law No. 401-1966, and amendments there io. i THE SUBJECT m City of Terrace described as: 83645, AND A 6.87 (MORE OR LESS) LOT 616, PLAN 7753, as shown sh map.
