TERRACE — Brad Ben-
son, local Optician,
recently received a letter
of thanks, through coun-
cil, for the glasses he
donated to a woman in
Poland.

by Philip Musselman

In the letter Eugene
Maciejo, the woman’s
‘son, and his family
thanked the optician, the
city, and the nation for
the gift of friendship. In
Poland it is very hard for
citizens to get glasses and
they cannot be ordered
from another country
because, in Poland, it is
illegal to have possession
of foreign currency.
Meanwhile Polish cur-
rency is not accepted
anywhere in the world,
but Poland. Therefore
the Polish family could
only hope that someone
would reply to a call for
help.

A request for the
glasses had reached Ter-
race Council in August.
The plea was answered
by Brad Benson who
generously offered the
glasses to the family as a
donation of friendship.

escalating cost of liability
insurance, attributed by
various authorities to
outrageous court settle-
ments favoring liability
claimants, to insurance
companies attempting to
recover misdirected in-

vestments by inflating “

their premiums, or to a
peak in the cycle of
sunspot activity.
Whatever the cause may

be, local governments will

have to look at either
limiting the legal extent of
their liability, as Terrace
did recently by getting
amateur sports organiza-
tions to sign waivers when
using municipal sports
facilities, or the formation
of an independent in-
surance pool by a large
number of municipalities.
Premier Vander Zalm
has expressed an intention
to experiment with new
forms of local government
such as proposed pilot
project for a county
system on the Queen
Charlotte Islands. There
are several models of
county government to
choose from, some of
which feature pro-
vincially-appointed
members in local bodies of
government, Any locally-
elected official would
probably view this sort of
tampering with loathing
and suspicion; the
Ministry of Municipal Af-
fairs will bear close obser-
vation in coming months.
Nearer to home, evi-
dence has appeared in the
last year that communities
in the Northwest are mak-
ing an effort toward co-
operation rather than
competition in trying to
attract tourists and com-
mercial investment. Coun-
cils will continue to play a
prominent role in long-
term economic planning
for communities and the
region as a whole.

‘construction appears to be

securely in the past,
another major municipal
project is looming on the
horizon. In spring 1987,
tenders will go out for
construction of a $1.6
million sewage treatment
plant; it will be viewed as a
legitimate test of judg-
ment and skill for a coun-
cil tempered with some

hard experience in the.

tendering game.

Other municipal ser-
vices will continue to
develop at the gradual
pace permitted by Ter-
race’s paltry industrial tax
base; petitions and re-
quests for paving will be
filed, and all but a few will
be tactfully rejected. Fun-
ding is already allocated

Tourism

for the extension of
gravity-fed water
throughout the district;
the spectre of a fluorida-
tion referendum will con-
tinue to haunt the council
chambers, and pigeons,
having been grounded in
one area, will inevitably
spring up in another.

Unforseen issues will
appear from week to week
before this council, but
whatever form the issues
take council members will
have to deal with them as
veteran officials. Terrace
voters have opted for
established figures in this
election, and in the gover-
ning of this city for the
next year no one on this
council can use inex-
perience as an excuse for
error.

TERRACE — Earlier this
year, August to be exact, a
group of Japanese fisher-
men visited the Terrace
area through the coor-
dination of Skeena
Holidays. The fishermen
showed great enthusiasm
towards the potential of
the northwestern resource.

by Philip Musselman

The group received a
friendly welcome and did
well out on the rivers. The
event was so successful
that the fishermen have all
but confirmed a trip back
to Terrace for next year.

Representatives from
Skeena Holidays will be
visiting the Japanese
Fishing Show in Tokyo,
which is the largest show
of its kind in the world, on
Feb. 13, 1987. These Ter-
race reps will display a 22
minute sequence of the
fishing visit. Several
Japanese groups have ex-
pressed interest in this
area and it is the hope of
the Skeena Holidays peo-
ple and everyone else who

is involved in the goodwill
project that the act of
friendship will bring closer
ties to the nation.

School board —

son at the next board
meeting, Dec. 2 in Ter-
race. At that meeting they
will have their first oppor-
tunity to begin dealing
with the problems iden-
tified during the election.

The contract dispute
with the Terrace District
Teachers’ Association has
reached a level of absurd
protraction, and the
disagreement has sent
echoes of tension
throughout the school
system from board room
to classroom. Both the
board and the teachers
have to demonstrate
decisiveness in acting im-
mediately for the benefit
of education in the
district.

Raising residential pro-
perty taxes by 14 percent
in the spring and having a
half-million dollar surplus
appear in the fall is not

a sequence of events that
inspires public confidence
in the board’s ability to
handle finances. The
secretary-treasurer was
summarily dismissed but
given a settlement that
amounted to more than 10
percent of the surplus he
discovered, and the settle-
ment was supposedly con-
ditional upon the board
being preserved from a
lawsuit. There are serious
questions involved here
that have not received ade-
quate answers; if doubt
and speculation are going
to be eliminated, a full ac-
counting of the events sur-
rounding this situation
will have to be presented
to the public, along with
safeguards to ensure no
repetition,

There are numerous
concerns about the
students themselves. High
drop-out rates from
universities among
graduates of Northwest
high schools raise several
questions about the
academic preparation
students receive here and

the fairness of the post-
secondary education
system in B.C. as a whole.
The ongoing problem of
self-destructive behavior
such as substance abuse
and suicide will continue
to be a focus of attention;
although schools cannot
entirely be responsible for
the mental health of
students, the board can
play a leading role in
determining what should
be done through the
education system both ina
crisis management capaci-
ty and in addressing the
deeper causes of despair
among young people.

In the coming year the
board will be dealing with
an ambitious capital
works program for the
district, including the con-
struction of new secon-
dary schools in Hazelton
and Terrace.

Premier Vander Zalm’s

latest rearrangement of
cabinet functions has
transferred apprenticeship
counsellors from the
Ministry of Labour to the
Ministry of Education.
This will provide the
board with a new program

to administer and a new.

educational resource to
develop. .

The board members
from the Terrace area will
be accompanied by
another new trustee, Val
Napoleon, who was
elected by acclamation for
the District of Hazelton.
The reserves of Kitwanga,
Kitwancool and
Kitsegucla failed to
nominate any candidates,
and school district
superintendent Frank
Hamilton said under the
terms of the School Act a
trustee for the reserves will
be appointed by the
Minister of Education.
