~ 6 Terrace Review — Wednesday, December 9, 1987 A lakeside view of Herman Creek Letter To the Editor; With reference to Jorma Jyrk- kanen’s article on Lakelse Lake residents’ fears of being flooded - First, I would like to say that the last thing we are looking for- is any sympathy from Mr. Jyrk- kanen, All we are asking is to have a man made problem (in this case-a Branch of the Federal Fisheries caused this problem in the first place, at Herman Creek) be corrected and return- ed to its original state. Surely a person like Mr. Jyrkkanen,who appears to be nature’s answer to every problem we have in our world today, couldn’t object to returning Lakelse Lake and River to its original shape. Mr. Jyrkkanen states Herman Hole (this is his name for it - to us at Lakelse Lake it is the Her- man Creek Bar) is, and I quote, “the best spawning habitat, generating millions of dollars in revenue and food supply’’. As a user of the Lakelse River every year for the past sixty-odd. years, I would like to point out that Herman Bar is dry for five months of the year, and on the average Herman Creek is dry for three to four months of the year. Any fish that spawn there can only do so in high water, and when the bar goes dry the eggs planted freeze out in the winter months. The area where this bar is now located was a very productive part of the Lakelse spawning Truckers TERRACE — Monday, Novem- ber 23 proved to be an unusual day in Terrace provincial court as more than 20 members of the Northwest Loggers Association appeared to answer 45 counts of violating the Commercial Transport Act. The charges were the result of a two-month crackdown by Ministry of Highways personnel last December and January aimed at overweight and over- length logging trucks. The NWLA hired one lawyer to represent the group’s members on a single court date. . ‘*They won some, and we won some,”’ remarked a Ministry of | Highways spokesman at the Where it’s .. system in the years prior to the build-up of gravel to a depth: that the area is now out of water for several months each year. Just for the record, the east side of Lakelse Lake was sub- divided shortly after the turn of the century (10 yéars prior to the Terrace townsite): And to the best of my knowledge, there hasn’t been a subdivision on the east side in the past 25 years, so I can’t see Mr. Jyrkkanen’s state- ment of greed as valid, . In summary, the bottom line is that the residents of ,Lakelse Lake are only asking that Lakelse River and the Lake levels be returned to levels that Mr. Jyrkkanen maintains were set by nature. Surely, with his article reflecting back-to-nature, he couldn’t do anything but agree. Lloyd M.

Things could be worse o) by Stephanie Wiebe Christmas shopping can be a real bother. But it’s fun if you - know what you’re buying, and sometimes I quite enjoy it. This year, though, I’m distressed.
