heal Board mombers
and passed a propos
for a change in the fee
structure at Caledonia
Senior Secondary.

Each student is assessed a
‘student fee at the beginning
of each school year, in
addition to course fees to
cover the cost of materials
used in elctives like art and
home economics.

The proposal eliminates
some of the course fees and
reduces others, The cost of
“expendable supplies” will

now be paid from a fund
allocated in the district
budget. (Expendablesare

itmems like sandpaper,
glue, and nails used in
woodwork classes.)
Students will only be
charged the purchase price

for the materials they put
into an individual project,
which later becomes their

reduced from its present

breakdown of the fees in-
cludes a $3.00 allccation to
the student council and to
the “transportation fund.”

‘There was lively

- discussion atthe board table

about the need for such a
large student’s council fee
and the existence of the
transportation fund.

Nan Harrison, board
trustee, sald that a lot of
parents ‘resent and
misunderstand’’ the two
fees because they do not
know what the money is
used for. She questioned the

OWNERS DISGRUNTLED

Municipal grass

too good

for goats

By ANDREW PETTER
Herald staff writer

Terrace goat owners are unhappy with the district.

They say their kids and nannies are being -

discriminated against.

So Monday evening, a
delegation from the Goat
Owners Association of
Terrace (GOAT) went
before council to request
changes in a Terrace bylaw
that prohibits goats from
being kept on rural land
wi the municipality.

Pointing out that cattle
are permitted, GOAT
president Edward Chapplow
said, ‘While it is true that

- male goats emit a musky
odor during breeding season
in the winter, the female
goat is a completely. inof-
ensive animal.’

“She is cleaner and
quieter than cattle and has
nothing in common with
pigs which are also
prohibited,” stated Chap-

Pan people who can’t
drink cow's milk can
tolerate goat’s milk as it is
more easily digestible,” he
said. “It seems a shame
that people who live on five
or 10 acres of land are not
allowed to use their

Bee easromee tl

Chapplow told the
meeting that if some
restrictions are required,
they should be directed
against only male goats
over six months of age. -

“Why has the goat been
discriminated against?” he
demanded.

“Here, here. I'd like to

know to,” responded
alderman Jack Talsira.
. Chapplow said that the
Broup had decided. to come
fo'e council after several
GOAT members had heen
ordered by the district to get
rid of their animals.
Alderman Vic Jolliffe
asked how the group
planned to breed goats if the
municipality banned males.
Chapplow replied that few
GOAT members had bucks
and that he kept some
outside the municipality for
reeding purposes. ,
Alderman Helmut

Giesbrecht wondered how:

the district would be able to
- tell when a male goat
reached six months of age.
‘That's when they start to
smell,”’ Chapplow replied.
But he also said that one
could assertain the age from

agoat’s teeth.

The GOAT presentation
was supported by letters
from Norco ‘Veterinar
Services and the Britis
Columbia Goat Breeders
Association.

Uncertain about. the
question, council passed the
buck to its planning and
public works committee,

FOR LOCAL STREETS

By ANDREW PETTER
Herald Staff Writer

A proposal to install
parking meters in Terrace
will be given “further
consideration’ as the reault
of a decision taken by the
distric council, Monday.

The council had an op-
portunity to kill the parking
meter proposal, but decid
instead to refer it back to
committee where it can be
reviewed and a recom-
mendation made.

The proposal calls for
parking meters to be in-
stalled along the north side
of Lakelse Avenue, from the
Zilicum Theatre to Clinton

Meters would also be
located on Lazelle, from

. Midway between Sparks

and Emerson to Atwood: on
Park, from Emerson to
kalum; on Greig, from
Emerson to Atwood; on
Ottawa, from Lakelse to
Lazell; on Emerson, from
Lakelse to lazelle; and on
Kalum, from the railroad
tracks to Park.

Helmut Giesbrecht,
chairman of the committee
dealing with the matter,
said that parking meters
would have a number of
advantages:

- they would make parking
enforcement easier;

- bring in revenue from
people liv: outside the
district; an

-ensure that those who made
the most ue ot the down
town area or par’
énforcement in the area. 8
But he cautioned that the
meters should not be viewed
as a means Of raising extra

revenues.

Giesbrecht told the Herald
he felt that the proposal
“has certain advantages”
but he indicated that there
should be input from the
public and businesses before
any action is taken.

Mayor Daye Maroney
said that he has a “real
hang-up about parking
meters” and would not
favour their installation in
Terrace. .

Alderman Jack Talstra,
however, said that he hes
spoken to some businesses
who think that it is a good
I

idea.

that people park all day,”
at people par ¥,”

Talstra paid.

Alderman Robert Coaper
said that he would be £
to support parking meters
“4f the people concerned are
in favour."

Both aldermen Vie Jolliffe
and Mumford spoke
against the proposal.

“Meters are a damn
nuisance,” Mumford stated.

The proposal will come
back to council as soon as
the committee has had a
chance to review it and
make a recommendation.

PARKING METERS Davis side-steps
Dease questions

Special to the Herald

Transport minister Jack
Davis has refused to say
whether or not the govern-
ment-owned British
Columbia Railway agreed to
terminate its plans for the
Dease Lake extension in
order to obtain $81 million
from the federal govern-

ment. .
During question od in
the first day of a unusual

summer sitting of the 4,

legislature, NDP member
Gary Lauk (Vancouver
Centre) repeatedly asked
the government to explain
contradictor evidence

uestioning the
Social t minister, Lauk

noted that BCR chairman I

Jack Fraine had told the
McKenzie Royal Com-
mission the loan had been
iven on the condition that
he government cease
construction on the. Dease
Lake extension.

At an April 5 press con-
ference, Lauk told the
legislature, Premier
Bennett had not mentioned
this commitment; he had
only said that there would be

& pause in construction,
vis refused to answer

the question,
Sald Lauk: “The B.C.
Rail officials testified at the ©

McKenzie Commission that

completed the Dease Lake

extension fer $117 million,
the federal contribution
negotiated by the former
NDP administration.

“The question is: why did
@ government therefore
accept $81 million and agree
to tetiminate the Dease Lake

Davis said he would
“endeavor to answer" the
question before the royal
commission but he dedlined

ature,
Lauk then asked: the
minister: “Is the minister
prepared to commit the
government to complete the
B.C, Railway Dease Lake
extension, to open up the
area of the north and
provide employment to that
area which has the highest
unemployment of most
areas in country?”

Davis replied, “I can't
commit the government to
do that.”
