A10 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, October 9, 1996 News in Brief Carvings bypassed A PROJECT to re-roule sections of a Ferry Island trail means hikers will have to go off the beaten path to find some of Rick Goyette’s popular carvings. ; There are 32 of the carvings, typically of old men’s faces, carved into the thick bark of cottonwoods along the trail on the west side of the island. Earlier this year vandals destroyed a number of the carvings. Now the clty is re-doing parts of the trail, in order to bypass swampy sections. Goyette says in the process of doing this, the city has cut down two of his tees with the carvings, and has bypassed another six carvings. City councilor David Hull says the trail work had to be done. The original trails were ‘‘cut out willy nilly’’ and now they have become so heavily used, the city de- cided to upgrade them. But Hull adds that the old trails won’t be eliminated, and people will be able to take detours to see the trails. And he encourages Goyette to keep carving, since the faces are a popular attraction for many who use the trails. Phone before you go PRIME MINISTER Jean Chretien may have announc- ed $5.6 billion worth of investment in the oil sands in- dustry in Fort McMurray, Alberta, but that doesn’t mean there are any new jobs, Yet there’s been a steady flow of people moving to the community far north of Edmonton and that’s creat- ing a problem, So the Fort McMurray Regional Business Develop- ment Centre has set up a 1-888 line to give out in- formation on job opportunities, accommodations and social services to those contemplating a move. The toll- free number is 1-888-791-5553. Chretien’s announcement was made in June and the money is to be spent over the next 25 years. And he said promised jobs will be created all over Canada — not just in Fort McMurray, Pollution charges laid THE WHITE PASS and Yukon Railway company is being charged with polluting a section of railway track in the northwest corner of the province. The Skagway, Alaska-based company faces seven charges under the Waste Management Act in connec- tion with alleged dumping of waste petroleum byproducts and industrial solvents near the B,C.-Yukon border a year ago. , Also charged are employees Paul Taylor, Preston Claytor and Ed Hanousek, according to Atlin conserva- tion officer Glen Stater. The first court appearance is Oct. 7 in Atlin. The railway company operates a summer tourist pas- senger service between Skagway, Alaska and White Pass on the B.C.-Alaska border. It has ifs origins at the turn of the century by acting as a freight service for those who went north to find gold. Accident snapshot THE PROVINCIAL government is taking credit for photo radar being one of the reasons for a drop in the number of accidents last month. Vancouver, for example, recorded 2,184 crashes in August, down from 3,324 for the same period in 1995. And there were 209 crashes in Victoria compared to 272 in August of last year. “While we cannot say photo radar was the cause of the drop, there are strong indications it was a sig- nificant factor,’’ said highways minister Lois Boone. ICBC officials are encouraged by the figures, adding they are waiting for September results. Crosswalks studied ALOCAL man’s request for crosswalks on Keith between the Sande Overpass and the Little bridges is being examined by the highways ministry, But one official there warns they might not work, Cecil Pratt decided to ask that crosswalks be put in after this summer's paving job along Keith was completed, With Keith becoming ever busier, there was ho safe way for a pedestrain to cross the four-lane section, he said, Yet acling highways manager Randy Pen- ner Says crosswalks along that stretch might give pedestrians a false sense of security, “Pedestrians might step off thinking it's safe without making sure it is safe,’? said Penner. “They might have a tendency to assume motorists will see the crosswalk.’? SAFEWAY FOOD & DRUG 13,00 vehicle counts a day in the surmer,”’ There’s also the possibility that pedestrians won't walk to a crosswalk, preferring to cross Keith at places they regard as more convenient. Yet Penner did say ministry engineers are looking at the Keith situation. Ritch Malle depend on. > ‘Terrace Chrysler Ltd. Val 4916 Hy 16, Terrace » 635-7187 1-800-315-7187 TERRACE MOTORS TOYOTA 49)?
