Fire damages motel AFIRE last Sunday afternoon caused about $20,000 in damages to the Kalum Motel, on Hwy. 16 west. The fire started in the laundry room in one of the back buildings at approximately 1:30 p.m. It tock fire crews four minutes to reach the motel, and another 20 minutes to put out the fire, says Terrace fire chief Randy Smith. The fire in the laundry room was extinguished quickly, but it also extended up inside a wall to reach the second story of the building, No one was in the room at the time of the fire and there were no injuries. — Smith says the cause of the fire is under investigation, and arson is not suspected. Snowmobile fire A BRAND NEW snowmobile caught fire on the evening of Jan. 17 at 321 Old Lakelse Lake Dr. The owner had just taken the snowmobile out for a run and parked it in his shed. He was walking back ta his house when he smelled smoke. The fire spread to the garage addi- tion and to a shed.

Bulkheads may be unsafe SAFETY INSPECTORS with the Workers’ Compensation board are cracking down on unsafe logging truck bulkheads. The inspectors will be conducting roadside inspections from now until mid-February to ensure bulkheads comply with safety standards. Bulkheads are metal cages that protect the cabs of log- ging trucks from logs that may slide forward in emergency braking conditions. The WCB says that unsafe bulkheads, especially aluminum types, have resulted in several serious accidents and at least one fatality in the past year. Logging truck owners and operators will have until Feb. 16 to bring their bulkheads up to proper standards. For fur- ther information about bulkhead safety, call 1-888-621- SAFE. Help ice victims THE CANADIAN Red Cross is asking for financial donations to support ice storm victims in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Cash donations are the best way to help since the Red Cross can purchase supplies locally in the affected area, helping small businesses which were hurt by the ice storm. Donations can be made by calling 1-888-356-6336, or mailing them to the Red Cross Disaster Response, 1399-6th Ave., Prince George, B.C., V2L5L6, RECALL CANVASSERS Jim and Nora Lecleir are among the 150 registered canvassers Knocking on doors in search of peaple who want to sign the recall petition. Recallers need more from Kitimat THE CRASH HELMUT campaign's petitioning blitz of Kitimat over the weekend fizzled slightly but recall organizers claim a favourable response for what they’ve done. Lorme Sexton, co-chair of the Committee to Recall Helmut Giesbrecht said he had about 15 canvassers out on what the group refereed to as its “Get the hell back to Terrace blitz.” He added they were discouraged by the fact a lot of people weren’t home, but encouraged by what he claims is a 50 per cent batting average on the doorstep. Sexton said they’ve now covered about one third of the households in Kitimat and with the weekend's results added on they have about 900 signatures from the Aluminum City. He added their goal is to eventually collect 3,000 signatures in Kitimat and they'll try moving on to a team approach, saturat- ing polling areas with canvassers in the coming days. Meanwhile, a man who filed a petition to recall Skeena NDP MLA Helmut Giesbrecht to protest how the process was set up has abandoned his quest. John How never did seek signatures, instead saying he thought the recall regulations were badly drafted, He said the current rules allowing people to attempt a recall for any reason are wrong. What How prefers is a code of conduct for politicians which, if violated, can then result in recall. “Our political practioners would seem to be the likeliest group to understand all of the ‘pitfalls, and d pratfals of aris 10- Fae sen. profession aid; ‘How: dn “a Agtler, tf" chief ‘electoral ‘off of er Bob Patterson last week...” . con ie neal “They “should be: entrusted to Graft a political code of conduct for themselves, with some independent officer of the assembly (like a conflict of interest commissioner) investigating alleged violations,” he continued. “Recall could then be invoked to discipline offenders, should constituents deem that warranted.” How also wants the ability to sign recall petitions limited to people who voted in the most previous election, Get away to it all!
