TERRACE — Beginning next
week, local residents flying to
Edmonton will-no longer have
to head for Vancouver first.

Monday,, May 27, Central
Mountain Air is introducing a
new Terrace-Smithers-Prince

’ George-Edmontan service to fly

daily except Saturday.
Spokesman Peter Burns said
flight time to the Alberta capital
will be three hours and 40
minutes, an estimated time sav-
ing of one to two and haif hours
over dog-legging via Van-
couver.

And because the flights will
land at Edmonton municipal
rather than international air-
port, he pointed out there
would be further time savings
for those heading for the city

Noting the move came in
reponse to public demand for
“‘direct’’ flights to Edmonton,
Burns said reaction at the recent

*Trade Fair here had been en-

thusiastic.- That included not
just local business people and
travel agents, but also residents
with family in Alberta...

vAlso well received by the local
chamber of commerce had been
the introduction earlier this
month of a daily Terrace-
Watson Lake service with con-
nections on to Whitehorse,
Here again, Burns said, demand
from communities at both ends
of the run had prompted the ad-
dition.

Northwest ‘owned and

now employs 70 people in
Smithers and Terrace making it
one of the area’s larger Private

_Kitlope wildlife

“EUs a very rich estuary,’? he
said. ‘‘We're still assessing our
information.”

He said they found the
Kitlope was representative of

_the north -coast’s old-growth

‘temperate rainforest between
Bella Coola and the Alaskan
panhandle.

‘ The team identified more

than. 80 different species of

birds, he added, including a rare
eagle-like raptor called a black
merlin, and the marbled mur-
relet, The murrelet is a sea bird
that nests only in old-growth
forests and is considered
threatened because its habitat is
being logged off,

_ Travers said they also spotted
both grizzly and black bears,
mountain goat, moose, harbour
seals.

A report is being compiled on
the scientists’ findings, he said,
adding that should be com-
pleted and released in a month
or two.

He said the area around
Kitlope Lake — which Skeena
Sawmills has proposed be
preserved as parkland — is an
area of “outstanding recrea-
tional opportunities.”

Spencer Beebe — vice-

president of Oregon-based Con-
servation International — is the
director of Ecotrust and joined
Skeena Sawmills representative
Scott Marleau on the Kitlope
survey trip.

wants to develop a “‘conserva-
tion’ and sustainable develop-
ment strategy’? for the Kitlope
area, which he says could be the

He maintains Ecotrust. isn’t
out to stop all logging. ‘We're
really talking about logging
forever. We're talking about
fishing forever,’’ he said.

The organization has been:

working with the forest industry
in Oregon, he said, to promote
the growth of value-added in-
dustry to increase the number of
jobs forestry provides.
