‘AG - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, September 20, 2006 ‘CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD _The Mail Bag" ‘Council shortsighted in its | flowery spending Dear Sir: | Recently, Terrace city council approved the spending of $1,600 to purchase 10 hanging flower baskets. At that same - “council meeting I, Deidre Price Program Delivery Specialist ' with the Bear Aware program requested $983 or, equivalent “in-kind” donation. This donation would of allowed us to. offer our program to the, residents of the City of Terrace. This-is not the. first time council has turned down funding for Bear Aware while approving other questionable expenses. : In 2003, council voted to spend $3,000 to send the stuffed Kermode bear on a province wide tour to promote it'as the | -mascot for the 2010 Olympics. bubagain turned down the. Bear Aware program. It costs Bear Aware approximately $50 to offer.one school program. During this program we discuss bear safety and how to prevent conflicts with bears at home. At the end: ~ of the program.each student receives a sticker and an activ- '.,ity booklet, and the class is-left with resources to provide additional information and activities. With $1,600 the Bear Aware program could have provided this course to 32 class- . es which is approximately 900 students. The hanging baskets council has voted to purchase will ; “be on display possibly for the next two months, Bear Aware — education can make the difference inmaking the com-: munity a safer place to’live and prevent the destruction of _.- bears for years to come. Our youth are the ones that bring» - information home and educate their parents and they are our _ future homeowners/renters that will be influencing the avail- ability of bear attractants. Terrace council has chosen the Kermode bear as its of- ficial mark, but to date they have done nothing but exploit the bear.

Deidre Price Program Delivery Specialist - Bear Aware " Fly problem exaggerated Dear Sir: : ' just want to say there are more flies in last two years than usual. It has nothing to do with the egg farm. We are far - from the egg farm. We live up Kalum, toward Rosswood. . ~ ['go to the egg farm for eggs and have not seen flies there. ~ My point is there are just a lot of flies. They were worse than the hornets and there v were lots of hornets and flies again this “lyear. We don’t have grass yet, but people have to make sure . . not to compost, and bag their grass. There are fewer mos-. ‘quitoes than flies.
