Pictured above is a crowd gathering a section of the wail being torn down with the help of a large crane. The wall is in the pro- cess of being completely dismantled, Travel funding called unfair TERRACE — The school board wants Victoria to recognize the higher cost of stu- dent transportation in the north by supplying more money for extra-curricular travel. School trustees say northern schools are discriminated against because there is no extra money to compensate for the vast distances students travel. That means band students and sports team players are penaliz- ed for living in the north. he: situation, forces students. and teachers to raise thousands of*dollars to: make up the dif- ference, trustee Wayne Braid. said. Trustees voted last month to. send a letter demanding the education ministry provide an extra northern travel allowance. They also decided to try to find out exactly how much stu- dent: travel costs area schools. That's not known because most of the money for out-of-district travel is raised by the schools. Caledonia Senicr Secondary School principal Tom Hamakawa said the problem is serious. The school district is: only allotted money to cover student travel within the district — for trips to Vancouver, Prince George, or Prince Rupert the students are on their own. - “Our difficulty here is because of our location,”’ he ~ RITA MACNEIL - believe said. ““We're just trying to give our kids an equal opportunity to other kids in the province — but that’s not easy to do.’ A team that wants to prepare itself for provincial competition must travel out of the district, he said, while Lower Mainland teams can often find top-calibre competition in their immediate area. ; ‘Travelling to tournaments in the Lower Mainland can cost a team more than $5,000, Hamakawa added. Money must be raised to cover the cost of substitute teachers — to replace travelling teachers — airfare, travel, motels and food. “That's all raised totally by the students and coaches,”” Cooper said the problem is just one part of the board’s long-running battle to convince Victoria some things cost more in the north.

Pat Ogawa said the the facili- ty, called a log merchandiser, will take over. when an agree- ment to have West Fraser chip logs for Skeena Cellulose ends. | He said the merchandiser will determine how much of each log is good for sawmilling, how . much is good for, the new Kalum Wood Products speciai- ty mill (partially owned by. Skeena Cellulose) . and. how much should end up as pulp. fibre destined for the company's Port Edward pulp mill. ‘*What ‘we're looking at: is. something that will provide us with the best possible use for each log. We have to start look- ing very carefully at the best possible utilization — to get the best possible value,’? Ogawa said. A decision on where to put thefacility hasn't yet been made and it could employ between 15-20 people, he added. It will have an estimated capacity of 400,000-600,000 cubic metres a year, Log merchandisers of this sort aren’t new to the nor- thwest, There’s one at Westar’s Carnaby mill in the Hazeltons.
