THE TERRACE Public Li-
brary began a drive last weck
to raisc $87,000 to help fi-
nance its expansion with Iet-
ters to local businesses and
appeals to its members.

More than $30,000 has al-
ready been raised in cash or in

kind cven before the
campaign started, says library
board chairman Dan Gilgen.

“We've already received
some gencrous donations and
now we’re looking for strong
support from the patrons,’’ he
said.

Helping the effort along last
weck was a $1,000 donation
from the Terrace local of the
Nisga’a Tribal Council.

Although city and rural area
residents have approved the
borrowing of moncy for the
expansion project and the
provincial povernment gave a
grant, items were cui from
original plans to bring the
project in on budget.

Gilgan noted: that shelves,
paint, air conditioning and a
book securily system were
climinaled even with the li-

brary board commitment to
taise the $87,000.

"Even at $87,000, all we're
getting is the finished build-
ing,” he said.

Among the material dona- |
tions was lumber from local
mills. for the framing of the
new section.

And the Skeena Valley
‘Rotary Club has volunteered
its time to paint the interior.

Gilgan said the board hopes
the more than 10,000 people
who use the library will real-
ize the value they’re getting.

He noted that it costs an
average $30 10 buy one book
and that there are na user fees.

The expansion will double
the library’s space to 12,000
square feet,

The board wants to raise the
Moncey over two years but has
pul a special emphasis on the
month of December,

Among the plans for the ex-
pansion is setting aside space
for computer work stations to
lake advantage of the growing
amount of information avail-
able electronically.

Graves p

ALCAN HAS spent $500,000 to
protect a Haisla grave site near
Kemano from erosion.

The grave sile dates back to the
last century and is located on a
spit of land jutting out into
Kemano Bay where the Kemano
River flows into the Gardner

_ Canal.

It’s unprotected and is subject
to tides and waves driven by
winds from several directions,
says Alcan public relations offi-
cial Allan Hewitson.

Alcan had. already reduced the
speed of its boat which travels
from Kitimat to its Kemano
power station to reduce the size
of the wash lapping against the
spit, said Hewitson,

The work involved putting in
layers of rip-rap as protection
against waves, he added.

He said a study by Alcan
determined erosion was caused
by waves crealed as a result of

winds and not by the company
boat,

Tide, wind and wave action
over the years resulicd in the
toppling and loss of grave
markers and even some tradi-
tional totems,

The last burial took place at the
‘site in 1980,

The Haisla had tried without
success to get money from the
federal and provincial govern-
ments for rip rap.

“Since the locale was a beach,

. tidal. conditions dictated working
times and we were anxious to be
sure the project gets completed
before the onset of ihe worst
winter weather,’’ said Hewitson.

More than 6,900 cubic metres
of material was barged from
Kemano for rip rap wall.

Haisla band council members
said they were happy with the
project and were grateful for Al-
can’s contribulion,
