PAGE 8, THE HERALD, Wednesday, March 1, 1978 Disagrees with Shelford on Oil Spills. The Herald Terrace, B.C. T listened to Mr. Cyril MLA. for the Skeena riding, being in- terviewed over Hanmas Hot Line from C.B.C. in Prince Rupert, It was an open line with a number of people calling in to express thelr views or ask questions. Of course the proposed oll port at Kitimat and oll tanker traffic was mentioned, and Mr. Shelford came out strongly in favour of the pipe line, and belittling the effects of an oil spill. He mentioned the oil spill of the Torrey Canyon, a medium tanker off the south coast of England, and noted there was no evidence of dead fish from that spill] and no lasting effects on the shore Ilne of either England or France. He also mentioned the Chedlabucto Bay oll spill in Nova Scotia which occured about ten years ago, and which was cleaned up to the best of man's ability. He stated that fishing there was better than ever, with no apparent ilheffects, About four months ago it was reported there was still much evidence of cil on the rocky shore, and last summer I heard lobster fishermen fishing that area | being interviewd over C.B.C., stating that a per- centage of their catch, posal 15 percent was still uneatable due to the effects of the oi] spill, No trace of . the survey. He will be assisted damage was apparent on surface, but people cooking and eating these oil con- taminated lobsters got violently sick. Possibly an oil slick out on the open ocean isn’t too the eel grass a mess of thick oil, will these myriads of fragile fingerlings be able to survive and grow on an oil soaked diet? Again I think not. The sea birds, the seals and other sea life, we know how little oil it takes to kill them, And there are afew large colonies of sea birds on just a few islands, in our northern waters, not nesting elsewhere, that an oll spill would wipe out. Maybe you say these aren't important. So what of our salmon, a multi-million dollar in- dustry. Each fall millions of these fish congregate along our northern coast on their - waytotheir spa rivers.I sized have stood oi i ta ofa ship bound for Vancouver at the time the salmon are congregating and watched as hundreds of them sur-. ‘faced or jumped clear of the water. Witha thickskum ofoil on the surface, each time a fish surfaced or jumped from the water it would get an oll coating. Is Mr. Shelford or are the oil magnates able to guarantee that this will have no effect on the salmon? If Mr. Shelford believes oil will not affect fish, let him get a tub of clean water and put a few ameall fish in it, Then drop a tablespoon of oil on the water and see how long the fish survive. I learned the hard way when I was a boy, it wasn't very many minutes before they suffocated. So how would a crude oil spill many miles square affect the sea life beneath, Imagine seining herring, gillnetting, or trolling salmon, in a mess of oll, Do we have to sacrifice out fish stocks to find out? If ollis so harmless why the big objection to taking ail into Cherry Point or to refinereis altPort Angeles? And a refinery at Kitimat to refine Alaska crude oll would bring oa another problem, The Alaskan crude is high in sulphur, and we would run the risk of mass clouds of swphur or sulphur dixoxide inour air, and in our narrow valleys when the alr is still this could create a health - hazard, I certainly do not set myself up as an expert, but I believe I have a bit of common sense, and I am not selling ofl, and 1 believe the risks we would be taking for outnumber the benefits. F.Frank Cultural grant to ballet group The Vancouver Ballet Society has announced that they have received a $3,000 grant from the Cultural Services Branch, Ministry of Recreation and Con- servation to enable them to condut a survey on the status of ballet and con- temporary dance in.

Arta Board and members of the Vancouver Ballet Society in determining the specific areas and concerns for damaging, but amoung out research inner waters thick oil on the surface of the water willdlow up onto all. the sand and gravel beaches twice a day with the tides, and as the tide goes out a thick oil scum will remain. Can our clams, crabs, and other shell fish survive this constant contact with oj] and survive? I doubt it very much. The tide will bring the oil into the river estuaries where the millions of young salmon are among the acres of grass.
