By J. ROCKY GRAY I had. decided to go about Terrace and check the road con- ditions, that were supposedly looked after by the: snow removal equipment of the City of Terrace, Well, Mrs Christensen and*Mr, John Col- ongard, this Bud’s for you. You both must think you have the people of. Terrace under some sort of mass hypnosis. If you think we can’t see just how bad all the roads of Terrace are dur- ing the times of the heaviest snow falis and for several weeks there after. . As I had looked ‘around, I had noticed some roads taken’ care of better than others, and the ones that had been.cleared and widened the best were the higher taxpayers, much like on Labelle and Lambly, just to mention a few. But when a person crosses the overpass it is just like going from day into night. South Sparks is a prime example. This road had not been ploughed out since the first major snow fall. Actually that would include all of Sparks (North and South), Everyone that I had mention- ed this to said basically the same thing, ‘‘Terrace’s snow removal Page AB — Terrace Standard, Wednesday, February 21, 1990 Rocky roads - Stewart WHITE.WHEELS.

If a person ever fell in, they would need Search and Rescue and good climbing gear to get out. If a small car drives through one of these, there is a good possibility the car and driver will be lost forever. a And the intersections are real- ly something else.

Well now is the time if ever there was one. We are very fortunate to have such a program in. Canada. Okay, 50 most of the che- ques don't seem big enough. Where would we be right now without them? How would we survive? ' [just read a. children’s story about a man who caught.a fish. When the fish asked the fisherman to let him go because he really was a prince, the fisherman did so. The act of kindness on the fisherman’s part was. not good enough for the fisher- man's wife, however, so she insisted the fisherman ask for a pretty house from the Magic fish, Her wish was granted but that wasn’t good enough - either. The wife wanted a castle and that wish was granted. Each time she asked for more, her wishes were granted until she wanted to be queen of the moon and the sun, Al that point, she lost everything and. ended up in they’re dreary cottage again. Greed is a nastier state of being than being poor, Greed is also scary. The native people of Canada have access to land, homes, and education and also to social assistance. Not denying them those things, they, on the whole, might be wise to really take stock of all that they do have access to. One day the money might not be there for all the land claim settlements and for what they now have ac- cess to, The same with unions and wages also comes'to mind. The more we get, the more we want but many more jobs Skylink inquest here ’ TERRACE — A coroner's in- quest will be held in Terrace this. spring to investigate the crash of Skylink flight 070 here last year, Prince George regional coroner John Wolsley said Friday. The 19-seat Fairchild aircraft disintegrated when it hit trees just west of the Terrace airport Sept. 26, killing all five passengers and the two crew members on board. | Canadian Aviation Safety Board investigators — wio are still piecing together what hap- « pened to the flight — will pre- - sent ‘some of their findings at ‘the inquest, Wolsley said. Investigators have released some of the data they have col- lected, including the informa- tion captured by the plane’s flight data recorder, but refuse to release the contents of the . cockpit voice recorder. The voice recorder is the second half of the plane’s black box, and in- vestigators have said the crew's last words recorded on the device gives them a gaod idea of what happened. The safety board’s final report is to be written and cir- culated to involved parties this spring before being made public.
