The tribal. council pro- bably has reports on it by Marius Barbeau as well as our own oral history and ver- bal agreements among ourselves. The names of our uncles, father and aunts live on to- day and are held by the chiefs from A5 AS Council stand rebuked parking for employees in the downtown area and better road maintenance. Nothing disturbs me. more than seeing council trying to promote Terrace by welcom- ing newcomers yet not telling them they'll have no decent place to live, no where to Safer crosswalks needed Dear Sir: Just a small article of great concern regarding the death of a pedestrian at the over- pass crosswalk the first week in Dec. 1991. . My deepest sympathy goes out to that family. I have HOSTMBPICeHsVENG i any: LS: Erosswalk after that incident, of today. My concern is, are these names, traditions and culture being used by the chiefs of today in making wise decisions for their peo- ple or is the tribal council on- ly looking after themselves, Are the decisions made go- ing to benefit all of our peo- ple or just the chosen few, | and how many people know about this? When these deci- sions are made, the chiefs children are left out. I know some areas need to be protected, and in these areas, the governments must be informed. We saw the real estate signs up for years at . park as an employee downtown and no unpothol- ed roads to get there on. it’s time for the members of city council to reah:« we area growing city with grow- ing needs to be fulfilled before the personal needs of each individual member. thinking I could be next, or that it could have been me at that time and place. Once I came very close to getting killed if I hadn't swiftly moved out of the way of a speeding driver that had no intentions of stopping or Boulder Creek, It changed hands several times by non Indian owners. My realistic view is, the Frog Clan and some members of the Tribal Coun-- cil should -have gathered all of their information, evidence, archeological reports, that it is a prime fishing site and negotiated with the Minister of Crown Lands to have the reverted. back to the, crown and then turned back to them with conditions, . . - If it was sold to them through real estate who owns Unless something is done to improve this city’s situa- tion, I am confident’ that a totally new council will be -. elected next term. Sincerely, - Mrs. T.F. Franzmann - Terrace, B:C. : land’ © it now? And which depart- ment paid for it? Rather than the Gitksan spokesman’s strategy to’ pay the man a visit and give him 48 hours in which to, Quote: ‘*To get to hell off the land”, the man already cleared the land and built a house. . And a group of Gitksan paid the owner approximate- ly $90,000 for the land and house. If a group of people paid me a visit and told me to get to hell off the land, | certain- ly would call the RCMP. If this is going to be the trend to buy land they already claim --.as their own and kick people out. Who is next? There is ‘logic missing here. : By holding onto our tradi- ~ tions and culture within our -own sytem, is not to take away anything from our non- Indian neighbours, who are our friends. _ Our homes are our castles and we want to keep and en- joy the security we have in owning our own homes. I, for one, am not going ta get to hell out, not for any clan who claims this area as year. HOW TO CONTACT US: _ We are located at - vnc een pee 4647 ’ Lazelle Avenue In Terrace, B.

Terrace, B.C. Shames season doing: well TERRACE — Shames Moun- tain did a brisk business ‘during the Christmas holiday ski season. “T's been bloody busy,’ manager Scott Siemens: said last week, ‘'We're up at least 50 per cent over last year.’ Except for a few rainy days around Christmas, he said weather cooperated during. the holidays.-And= he said better organization this year helped the bottom line in all depart- ments. , Siemens said at least 1,000 gift certificates were sold before Christmas to be exchanged later for lift- tickets, rentals or lessons. . The Christmas season also brought the mountain’s season pass sales total to about 600, with about half that number be- ing family. passes. Out-of-town skiers also con- tinue to frequent the mountain, he added, with increasing numbers of Kitimat residents coming out. ‘*Prince Rupert is by far the strongest of the out-of-town groups we have,” he said. ‘'In fact the bulk of our midweek lift ticket sales are from Prince Rupert.” Siemens played down the possibility that the closure of Mount Hayes in Prince Rupert may have bolstered the number of skiers from that city travell- ing to Shames, But he predicted the closure of the Rupert ski area will hurt ‘Shames in the long run. ‘It’s not going to help us,” he said. ‘‘We depend on smaller ’ mountains to create new skiers, if they didn’t have a ski hill there for the last eight or 10 years, there’s no way we'd be getting the numbers we're. get- ting out of Rupert.” Siemens is expecting plenty of skiers cut next week when a 576 Victoria St. Prince Georgs STEPHEN PELLIZZARI, CAIB Barton Insurance Brokers are pleased to announce their new arrival - Stephen Pellizzar, CAIB.
