- Director -Joe ‘Banyay,, “who yi

represents Kitimat on the
Kilimat-Stikine.- Regional
Board, was livid with anger at
list ‘Wednesday's . meeting

because of a memo received

from Chairman Ev Clift
although signed for him by Mrs.
Pat Menzies, Secrelary to the
. Board. He labelled the missive

"Your Speech from the Throne”,

Mr. Banyay took exception to”
several parts of the memo. The
most irritating to him were his
dismissal from the Municipal
Finance Authority Committee;
the fact that it was signed by
Mr, Menztes;, the appointment
of John Pousette to the Nor-
thwest Area
Promotion Committee; and the
deletion of Village cf Hazelton
Director from that same
committee.

Aller referring to the ‘“Speech
from lie Throne’ angle Mr.
Banyay asked Chairman Clift if
he no longer trusted him and,
for this reason, had booted him
off the Municipal Finance
Authority Commillee after tour

years of faithful service,

He then altacked Mr, Clift's
formation of the Northwest
Area G Travel Promotion
Committee for two reasons.
The first being the removal of
Director Perry York frotn this
committee and the second was’
the placing on a commitlee of a
non-elected member of the
administration in the person of
Jahn Pouselte. Director won
his point on this matter and,
Pousette was taken off and’
Director York returned to that
committee.

Director Banyay objected.

ulso to what he referred to as
“brainwashing’’ through the
memo, He queried why this
matter-coild not be taken up at
acommittee meeting and why it
had to be discussed over the
telephone through a call te Mr.
Clift's home.

Another. factor that annoyed
the Kitimal Director was the
appointments of Administrator,
John Pousette and his Assistant
Ray Parfitt as the members

" representing the Distrec! Board

Regional District

Proposais for —
Green Belt Land

nN

During the course. of the last
meeling of the Kitimat-Stikine
Regional District Board a
recommendation from ad-
ministration was studied by the
Directors and approved that the
undernoted parcels of land be
‘reserved as Green Hell Araas.
This is part of the Land Reserve
Plan to be submitted ta the B.C.
Land Commission.

Under the Land ‘Commission
Act, Bill 42, provision is made
for Green Bell Reserve and
Land Bank Reserves for in-

dustrial and residential land.

Ihe Tuya

on the Community Resources
Council, Both Joe Banyay and
Director George Thom debated

. these appointments at length

stating that this was strictly a
Terrace ofganization-- and
should no t involve the time of
the Regional District Ad
ministration.

Both Directors indicated that

there was a. -similar
organization in most com-
munities in the Regional
District. and that this’ would
mean that each one would
expect Lhesame representation.
The menio, which included
the composition of ail com-
mitlees was passed with only
the York-Pousette change
however.

Hereunder is Chairman Ev
Clift's “Speech — from the
Throne”’;-

First, 1 wish to thank you

whether you voted for me or not .

for the honor of being the
Chairman of the Regional
District for 1974 and also’ take
ihis opportunity to assure each

of you indivicually. of my in-

THE HERALD, TERRACE, B.C.

’ tention ty co-operate with you as

an individual in the pursuit of,

the Region's business.

While normally itis a Mayor's
job to be Captain of the ship of
state and to direct operations
this is, [assure, nol the case for
a Chairman of a Regional
District where all Directors are
area-people representatives
and entitled to put forth all
necessary Information on
behalf. of the area they
represent, 1 therefore, to a
degree, look on this honor as a
bit of a muzzle which Inhibits
the input participation from the
District of Terrace al least in
the open sessions, I donot
however, intend this to be the
case in Commitlee activity
where I plan to participate as
fully as possible. Ialsointend to

participate in voting on alt
Board resolutions and will deem

atie, wherever it occurs, tobea -

negative or nullifying vote.

Among the first items of

-important business are the

public hearings which “are
scheduled for Thornhill

elementary’ “sahool, 7 pm, ¢

Monday, January 28th, 1974,
and the New Hazelton Hall, 7:00
p.m., Wednesday, January "30th,
1974.

* While any director is entitled
to attend ‘elther of these
hearings if he so wishes, 1
‘specifically “request the
Directors Allen, York, and
Banyay allend. the New
Hazelton hearing with Director
Banyay acting as Chairman, At
the Thornhill, hearing 1
respectfully request the at-
lendance of Directors Colthurst,
King and Thom, and” iflam
unable to-attend ‘this ‘session, J

request Director King t to take ‘

the Chair, 1 would have ap-
preciated the attendance - of

Directors Armitage and Black -

al either of these hearings, but
realize that winter condtions
would make. such -a _ request
unreasonable.

With respecl to Committee
and other appointments my
recommendations for your

consideratian for the next.

Marty Allen said that he had

Mr, Allen said that ‘there is

that non-natives are also killing
