. they will work.

In fact, at a meeting a cou-
ple of months ago, we asked}
_ the professionals present:
“What if it doesn’t work?”
The only response we receiv-

earthquake?”

We only have one chance]
of ‘educating our children
and,-as we love them dearly,
flippant replies are not ap-
preciated, Nor is patroniz-
ing.

I was told I worry - too
much, I do worry! I worry

teenagers will be dble to use
positive peer pressure to
make the violent, abusive]
students behave. I worry
when I read statements by
one Lawrence. S. Finkel in
Circles of Learning such as
‘Students should always be
made aware that their perfor-
mance. will be’ to ‘sink or
‘swim together’ in a
’ sooperative learning setting’
and ‘Students are assigned
to small groups and in-
. structed to learn the assigned
material and to make sure
that the other members of
_the group learn the assigned
material.”

One gets the impression
that not only will my son be
making his classmates
behave but teaching them as
well while the teacher, now
called the learning coach,
cheers on!

I worry when the school
makes such a radical decision
without consulting the
parents or, as far as I can
discover, the school board.

I worry because a lot of
parents just don’t seem to
care.

I worry when I see the

public education system be-
‘ing .eroded because every
child deserves a fair chance.
’ I worry when I see top
notch teachers leave the pro-
fession. How many more will
burn out?

I believe the staff at
Skeena are pursuing the Tight
goals but I wonder if it is the

‘mast ‘appropriate method,
“especially in this district.
, Sincerely,

ed was, ‘What if there’s anf .

Dear Sins! rr

It is the time of the year
when you see a lot of vehicles
with. out of Province licence
plates.

Some,of course, are driven

- by tourists, whom the mer-

chants welcome I am sure,
but a good number of them
you will find parked all day
at construction sites, 7

In case you find it strange
like I did, that tourists spend
their time on construction
sites, let me explain what is
going on,

In Terrace, Nelson Homes
are building family dwellings
for Muks-Kum-Ol, costing:
close’ to $2 million. The
workers on site (no-one from
B.C.), who are employed
there, drive vehicles: whose -

_ licence plates indicate Alber-

ta,. Saskatchewan and even.
Washington State; - ,

Klein Construction: from —

Alberta are building a $12
million school in Prince
Rupert and 90 percent of the

workers on this site are not -

from Prince Rupert, indeed _

Remember DDT

Dear Sir:

I was quite surprised when
I heard the comment:
“Pesticides are banned for
any little reason these days.”
_ I resisted saying anything.
He would not appreciate my
comment especially when
there are close to a 100,000
man-made chemicals impac-
ting the environment and, we
know relatively little about
the majority of them. .

Take DDT, this pesticide °
‘modern —
in the fifties; in-

was declared a
miracle’
stead, it is an ongoing serious
problem. It has been banned
in Canada since the early
seventies yet, it is still the
number one detectable
pesticide residue in carrots
and potatoes, according to
tests done by the U.S.
Federal Department of
Agriculture.

The reactionaries say,
**Well, those are within levels
permitted by governments.”
True, though I can retort by
saying governments are

highly influenced by cor- ©

porate money and lobby; it
greatly influences legislation
that reinforcés their personal

profits. There is @lot of very »-

controvercial evidence. For
instance, British geneticist

Di. O.G, Fahmy has found
that mother’s milk has about

four times the level of DDT”
that is allowed in cow’s milk |

that the public drinks,. ©
Twenty years ago, it was
the alarmist hippies who ex-
pressed ‘the problems of
pesticides in food. Now it is
mainstream institutions, A
1987 US Environmental Pro-
tection Agency report stated,
“Pesticides in food are the
most serious health and en-
vironmental problem.”

Personally, I would not |

buy any food from Mexico,
They still use DDT. They are
not only polluting our
children, they are dumping
cheap products on our
-markets creating unfair com-
petition for our farmers.
The war on toxic chemicals
in food has only begun.
Sincerely,
William Hayes

Construction from Saska- a
‘toon,

MK Bay Marina in Kitimat
has work being done by Lux

Cataline Motel: on.
Highway 16.
Hazelton is jammed with out

of province workers.

Prarie Schooners, pickups,
campers and trailers oc-
cupied by. these gypsy. {
workers are everywhere, at -

campsites, construction sites
and road sites: When asked

to leave, they simply move

‘somewhere else,

/ taxes, .disobey -health and 9

Does it matter that these
workers flaunt motor vehicle
regulations, pay no B.C,

safety regulations, and in

general contribute little or .
- nothing to the- ‘community?

I believe that the taxpayers
of Our communities who pay
for these construction jobs,
either directly or indirectly,
deserve. better.

T also believe that the pro-
yvincial government and cor-
porations, like Nelson
Homes should be insisting
that workers on jobs in our
communities, be the. people
that contribute to the welfare
and the prosperity of the
community, in short, keep
our community alive in good
times and in bad, not to com-
panies and workers who
leave nothing behind except
their. garbage.

Your Truly;
John Fensen,
