Terrace Review — Wednesday, Augusi 10, 1988 3 | - “Hand-print” T-shirts were all the rage in the concourse of the Skeena Mall Saturday as children lined up to have Ter- race Children’s Festival volunteer Lori Merrill paint their palms and then transferred the image to a shirt. Funds rais- ed from the one-day project are used to support the children’s festival, coming up this Sunday. Day for kids Sunday Noriko Shiga, a local origami {paper-folding) artist will lead a workshop at the Children’s Festival on Sunday, and there will be a Stilt Parade around George Little Memorial Park at 3 p.m. Festival volunteer Elizabeth Snyder also said a number of local performers will be there, including Kathleen Palm and Silvia Morales, and Peter Bra- ganza will lead festival goers in a “family dance.’ Other events for the afternoon festival, which will be held from 1 to 4 p.m., include wood work- ing, face painting, parachute games, and more. The whole family is welcome, and remem- ber — it’s free! Commission critical of | wastage in fisheries The Kitimat-Stikine Regional District’s Economic Develop- ment Commission believes that the federal government should stop wasting money on over- enforcement and do something to permit the full utilization of our fisheries resources. Director Gordon Robinson introduced the issue during the commission’s regular meeting last Saturday. by Tod Strachan According to Robinson, the commission is always talking about mew economic develop- ment but has failed to address the needs of the fishing industry. He says that last year, millions of sockeye died in Douglas Channel because the run was so large there was no room left for them to travel up river. “‘The rivers are jammed,’ he explain- ed, adding that this year is no different. He says that right now there are millions of chinook, sockeye and springs dying in the channel because they cannot go up river. And, he adds, due to federal regulations and closures the commercial fishing industry is only able to catch a small percentage of them. ‘‘It makes no sense for all this food to go to waste when it’s selling at ten Beautification winners announced _ Four winners have been selected in the 1988 Terrace Beautification Society Contest. Each will receive a plaque from the society recognizing the ‘‘ex- tra effort’? they have made in making their property more at- tractive to residents and tourists alike. In addition, the winner of the residential category will receive a picnic table donated by Terrace Builders.

Eby St. gory of the Terrace Beautification dollars a pound,” he says, “There is so much wasted through the incompetence of fisheries.’’ Director Gordon Sebastion suggested the problem was caus- ed by the Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean's unbalanced focus on enforcement rather than utilization. As an example, he described the situation in the Hazelton area where as many as 16 to 20 enforcement officers were often on duty at the same time — using riverboats, helicopters and boats — in order to find someone fishing in the wrong place or using illegal gear. Director Dan Pakula agreed by saying that the ministry had separate ‘‘bureaus’’ for enhancement and enforcement — and the enforcement body was overstaffed. Several solutions were sug- gested by various directors, who all agreed that proper utilization of this food source would cost very little money — much less than the federal government spends annually on regulation enforcement. Les Watmough said that once the rivers are full, fishermen should be allowed to simply put a net across the mouth and catch everything they can — this wouldn’t cost the government anything. Robinson pointed out that there are lakes near the channel that have as much as 10 miles of gravel, much more than the renowned Adams River, and for about $100,000 they could build a containment dam on a salt water lake which would keep the salt out and open up two new river systems for spawning. “Kitamaat Village Council has tried dozens of times to in- terest the federal government in this,’’ says Robinson. ‘‘Maybe it takes a body like this (the Economic Development Com- mission) to impress them.’’ The commission has written a letter to Fisheries Minister Tom Siddon asking that he increase his resource management staff and place an emphasis on the development and utilization of the resource, New donut shop to open in downtown Terrace The new Tim Horton donut shop should open in November if everything goes according to schedule, John Barker said from Calgary, The 2600 square foot store will locate on the former Shell station property on Lakelse, and construction is due to start September 1. The Terrace store opening is part of a general expansion in western canada. Currently there are two stores in Prince George, | and about 60 in the prairie pro- vinces and B.C., up from 17 western stores a few years ago. Terrace was chosen because of its busy shopping area and because ‘‘everybody going to Prince Rupert and Kitimat has to drive through it.’ Although Barker wouldn’t disclose the identity of the franchise Owner, he said the couple was from nor- thern B.C. and familiar with Terrace. About 15 full-time employees will be required.
