Don’t bite the hand that puts
the fly on the end of the line

Dear Sir: and steelhead

away our resources.” CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD fraction of the

That's how Rob U.S. and = Eur-

Brown ended his opean anglers

column a couple of
weeks ago on non-
resident anglers, and
fishing with and
without guides. _

This non-resident,
an Onlarian, as opposed to a non-resident alien, just
spent $42 for a fishing licence, $20 for a salmon stamp
and I'll have to get a $40 steelhead stamp to fish the
Copper this week.

On top of that, Pll pay $10.72 —-per day = to fish the
Lakelse or other classified waters. Twice that to fish far-
ther up the Copper before the end of October.

Who’s giving away what here?: ; :

Come to Onlario. A catch-and-release angler from
B.C. can get licensed for $18.50, of which $6°is for’a
three-year Outdoors Card to hold the licence sticker.

And fish atl you like for our salmon and steelhead,
without coughing up big bucks for extra stamps on your
licence.

I'm struggling with Mr. Brown’s logic. He takes out
two Americans up the Copper, and that’s OK. But two
Europeans meet up with a European buddy with a raft
and that’s ali wrong.

And the out-of-province guide he met. Surely a fisher-
ies officer could look after that problem, There are en-
ough of them out here. [ saw more officers in Tim Har-
ton’s the other day than we have in the entire province
of Ontario. Perhaps that’s why we don’t pay for salmon

make a profit off them at the food stores, bed and break-
fasts and motels. If they buy a meal, some gas or a beer,
you're making money.

Rob advocates an elitist approach to bring in a few
fly-fishers with fat wallets attracted by the elitist ap-
proach to managing access to these rivers. With guides
costing US$300 to US$400 a day, you won't see too
many average Joes, or the Canucks Rob js protecting the
resource for.

The number of fanatical anglers, who can drop family
responsibilities in favour of a big-buck trip, is a failing
resource as we North Americans change our concept of
quality time. So don’t invest in a disappearing market
segment.

One problem you share with Northern Ontario is the

sheer cost of getting here, both in terms of dollars and |

time. We should make it easier ta fish when they do get
here.

No, don’t give away your resources. But remember
that at least our European friends aren’! going back
home with a cooler full of dead fish.

Segregation isn’t needed here

Dear Sir:

My daughter came home from school Wednesday No-
vember 6 with a note for First Nation students only, It
was addressed by First Nations Education Centre,
School District No.82 (Coast Mountains).

In it was a proposal for the establishment of a school
specifically designed for K-7 First Nation students only.
It outlines a distinctive or specialized curriculum em-
phasizing First Nation culture.

If this is only a program it is a very good idea. How-
ever, it should also include all students. [f this is a pro-
posal for the establishment of a separate school in this
community, then we are looking al segregation. The for-
mative schoo] years are the ones promoting tolerance
and acceptance to new and different influences includ-
ing cultural awareness.

If you iook back at the 50s when integration began in
the United States between the Afro-Americans and the
whites, violence and riots resulled due to fear of the un-
known.

Departure Arrival

Do we want to see the same thing happen in our com-
munity, where, even though some tension exists (as it
does with lack of knowledge) we do-get along and thus
have a richer community because of it.

Al this point I am not sure of the exact nature of the
letter that | received yesterday, but it immediately
struck fear in my heart for the future of my children and
my community. Let’s all watch out for further develop-
ment regarding this matter.

Intersection appreciated

Dear Sir:

Congratulations to all of the people and organizations
involved in making the entrance/exit from the highway
to Kalum Lake Road much safer, It is indeed an impra-
vement.. The three stop signs at McConnell and Bailey?
I’m still scratching my head over that one.
