Discussion on the intérsection centered around access to Tetrault by emergency vehicles and it was felt that the addition of a third lane from the Sande overpass to Tetrault and a larger turning radius at the intersection would allow vehicles to negotiate the corner safely and more quickly. Letters Terrace Review — Wednesday, Aug st 17: 1 988 ‘Be To the Editor; I would like to know what de- centralization is really supposed to accomplish. Here in Terrace, the board of the Terrace Health Care Society recommended that H & H Builders of Terrace be awarded the contract for the extension of Terraceview. As everyone must know by now, the difference ’ between the lowest bid (non- union) and the second-lowest bid (union) is only three percent. Kermodei is an unknown quanti- _ ‘ty with no track record, while H -& His a local, well-known and Think about this time-tested company... - Mr. Parker, as our MLA, how can you justify de-centralization . plans when this government doesn’t listen to local govern- ment anyway? ~ We also seern to have out- siders hired with sub-union wages, for a paltry three percent difference. Think about that, Terrace business community, How much money: do you think will be spread around Terrace from this job? Gary McAvoy Terrace, B.C. Heard too many horror stories To the Editor; Having heard too many hor- ror stories with respect to what happens, or should I say what doesn’t happen, at Ministry of State economic development and social services committee meetings, I have broken my vow and asked to be placed on both boards. Taxpayers’ money is being spent on time, effort, and high-priced help, and it is my belief that someone willing to ignore a ‘gag order’ with respect to the media has got to be a watchdog. Speaking of ‘gag orders’, we saw the ultimate last month, in the firing of the entire B.C. Enterprise Corporation board when that Crown Corporation was done away with, My con- solences to the hard working, well-intentioned members of that board. Their only crime was to speak out against what they believed to be wrong — a freedom that is ‘verboten’. _On the question of leadership, it would appear that the Premier has adopted a philosophy of “do as I say, not as I do.’’ Knowing full well that he was being investigated for’ his in- volvement with Peter Toigo, he did not — as he would have demanded of his Cabinet Ministers — step down until the investigation was complete. Perhaps he was afraid of being hung before the results of the in- vestigation were known, as was the situation in 1987 with a cer- tain Minister of Forests and Lands. Jack J. Kempf, MLA, Omineca., Pavement extended Three hundred feet of Graham Ave., from Kenney St. west, will be paved at a cost of $6,987. This is an extension to an approved project to pave Graham Ave. from Eby to Ken- ney and was requested by local residents. The area of the project exten- sion has three homes on the north side and the city’s Public Works building on the south. Two of the three residents signed a ‘Petition for Upgrading and Frank Donahue Paving’’ giving the city the two- thirds majority they needed to proceed. Based on frontage, and if funded over a 10-year period, the total cost to the city will be $6,170, while home owner Ann Leclerc will pay $1,230 and the cost to Manuel Viveiros will be $2,460. Graham Ave. resident John Michalchuk, who didn’t sign the petition, will pay $1,860.
