A6 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, Aprii 3, 1996 Ferry captain plans better service on the north coast Dear Sir: 1 am writing in response to the March 6 article, ‘Ferry rep roasted’’, The article reports that the North By Northwest Tourism Association takes issue with BC Ferries’ northern ferry transportation strategy, and calls for daily service to Prince Rupert. Instead, we are developing the new mid-coast roule as a first priority, to provide badly needed marine transporta- tion service to those who currently have either limited ser- vice or no service at all. Unlike Prince Rupert, which en- joys good marine transportation service provided by B.C, Ferries and good highway access, many communities in the mid and north coast have neither, The new Discovery Coast Passage route will bring sig- nificant benefits to the communilies of Bella Coola, Finn Bay, Klemtu, McLoughlin Bay (Bella Bella), Namu, Ocean Falls, Port Hardy and Shearwater, much as the In- side Passage has benefited the north. These communities either have or will have facilities in place to accommodate business generated by the new summer service. I am fully sympathetic to the business fluctuations caused by an every-other-day schedule. Unfortunately, B.C. Ferries cannot bring new ships on stream without solid evidence that the market will expand profitably. CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD The Mail Bag I was dismayed to read that the tourist association thinks B.C, Ferries is ‘‘turning a deaf ear again,’’ On the con- tary, I believe the north has never been listened to more than since the advisory committee and public consultation process began in 1994, The northern ferry transportation strategy was based largely on the input of these com- munitics, and agreed to by consensus, The corporation is committed to implementing the north- em ferry tansporlation strategy in stages, and to continu- ing the public consultation process. ] am looking forward to receiving input from members of the north coast advisory committee to develop plans for the replacement of the aging Queen of Prince Rupert, which will have direct benefits to Prince Rupert and the north coast. , Captain Tom Whelan, B.C. Ferries, Swartz Bay, B.C, Death causes search for truth Dear Sir: lam writing regarding the death of my cousin, Dale El- lery Wilson. Elfery was found slabbed on the road in the Village of Kitwanga on Dec. 28, 1995. Two people were taken into custody and a minor was later released. Ellery was raised by my grandmom and mother with myself and his only brother, Jason. In remembering Ellery, I can’t help but recall when he was rescued from the Skeena River near our home in Cedarvale. He was fishing when he slipped into the raging river. My dog, Loho, came up to the house to alert us by nudging my mother with his nose until she recognized that something was wrong, El- lery was found clinging to a branch. Lobo saved his life. This time there was no Lobo, and a beautiful daughter has been left without a father. Why? Has the right signal been sent to the youth who has been teleased? Were there other minors involved? What are we to do about the lack of respect for human life so apparent in this tragedy? Where is the truth? Natalie Davis, Prince Rupert, B.C.
