when he appointed alderman
Darryl Laurent as the committee
"whip". It would be Laurent’s job
to keep track of items referred to
committee -- if they didn’t resur-
face within eight weeks it would
be Laurent’s job to find out why.
Amd there were other ‘system
changes, too. A year ago this ~
week the city administrator was
asked fo review department ac-
tivity on a bi-monthly basis and.
conduct annual performance eval-

Council would follow a similar
process in evaluating the ad-
ministrator.

Fishing guides had nothing to

do with fraud but there was a
- problem with a travel agent, some

U.S. travel companies and local
drivers a year ago this week. A
local ex-travel agent, Bob Harvey,
was chatged by the RCMP for
fraud in excess of $1,000 and he
was scheduled to appear in court

‘in March. Also on the travel

scene, RCMP issued a warning
that travel promotions coming
from some U.S, companies may

not be what they seemed. Holiday .

tours involved four travel destina-
tions, the Bahamas, Florida, Mex-
ico and Hawaii, and there were
"prizes" to be won. Promoters,
however, forgot to mention that a
$369 (U.S.) registration fee didn’t
include airfare, accommodation, or
anything else normally associated
with travel.

And it seems a few local driv-
ers were forgetting things too.
Specifically, just how their fender
or door was damaged. RCMP said
a year ago this week that the
number of hit-and-run complaints
seemed unrealistically high. They
suspected that many of these
complaints came from driver who
had driven their vehicles’ into
solid objects Jike trees and hydro
poles and then fictionalized a
second vehicle leaving the scene.
The motive was to collect in-
surance money to pay for the
repairs, but RCMP said their
investigators and ICBC were both
wise to the scam and would be
cracking down. Those filing bogus
claims of over $1,000 could face
up to 10 years in jail.

‘Mobile homes, RV’s

and foreign-owned
fishing lodges

The Regional District of Kiti-
mat-Stikine held three public
hearings a year ago this week
and none of the proposals were
very well received. Civil engineer

John Morgan made a presenta- 7 @ =

veloper Roger Sheppard but_ y

crowd of about 50 strongly op-
posed Thornhill residents. Shep-

tion and promised visual and
noise isolation from the neighbor-
hood and to cost share an upgrade
of the area’s water system. But
for the neighbors, who feared an
average property. devaluation of
$15,000 each, it was no sale.
Bert Orleans suffered a similar
fate with his proposal for the
development of a gas bar and RV
park at his hot springs property.
Orleans presented a revised and
reduced version of previously
proposed development plan before
a crowd of 17 Lakelse Lake
residents and concerned citizens.
Kolbjom Eide said there was:
already commercially

zoned land at the Jake and Or-

leans proposal threatened the

‘salmon habitat in Mountain Creek.

The Steelhead Society called for
protection of Mountain Creek,
five adjacent residents said they
didn’t oppose Orleans proposal in
principal but were disturbed by
the Jack of information available,
and two of these residents added
concerns over increased property

‘taxes in the area. -

The third public hearing in-
volved a proposal for a fishing
lodge about five miles west of
Terrace made by Terrace resident
Pierre Lussier on behalf of two
foreign entrepreneurs. At least one
of the investors proposed to live
on the site and according to Lus-
sier they would host groups of up
to a dozen European tourists who
would be catered to by a locally
hired fishing guide. Comments
from the Fish and Wildlife Bran-
ch, however, made no promise of
a guide licence due to the area
already being "oversubscribed"
and pointed out that a guide
licence moratorium was in effect.
But one resident, Noel Gyger,
said, "There’s more room out
there than you can shake a stick
at." .

Weed wars

Jt was about two years ago

today that CN rail was sent back

to the drawing board when they
lost an appeal involving their

preferred brushing method on

their right-of-way -- Tordon 101.

CNR was told to meet with local

organizations and Native groups

to find a mutually acceptable

means of brush control, but fol-

_ Sports

Skeena Grade-8 boys’ and girls’
basketball teams both made the
zone finals a year ago this week
but finished the finals in the
runnerup position. The boys lost
their final game of the series to
Kitimat. 34-27 while the girls

were defeated by Prince Rupert’s §

Booth Memorial. 54-24. On the
same weekend, Skeena and Thor-

‘nhill junior girls’ lost all their

road games at Lambrick Park in
Victoria but did wind up with one
second all-star pick each. Selected
were Skeena’s Rochelle Pelletier
and Thornhill’s Nicky Schaf-
hauser. -

In team play. Skeena junior
boys’ were winners, though. They
put together a four-game winning
combo and defeated Thornhill,
Kitimat and Prince Rupert in a
single tournament. For Caledonia,
the Kermode boys continued their
winning streak and were preparing

to advance to the B.C. champion-

ships in March.
