Third parties file for status
in Alcan water control case

In a case which has
close parallels to the pre-
sent dispute between the
Department of Fisheries
and Oceans and the
Gitksan Wet’suwet’an
Tribal Council, Alcan
will take on the DFO in
B.C. Supreme Court in

March 1987 to determine

who controls water levels
in the Nechako River.
The Gitksan dispute in-
volves the DFO’s fish
management jurisdiction
on the Skeena River, and
the Alcan case will
decide the DFO’s status
regarding the amount of

water discharged from |

Alcan's Kenney dam into
the Nechako River.

Alcan was given the
flow control rights to the
dam following its con-
struction in the early
1950’s, but in 1980 the
B.C, Supreme Court
granted a temporary in-
junction to the DFO
when a dispute arose
regarding the level of
water necessary to main-
tain the Nechako as a
salmon rearing habitat.
Alcan voluntarily renew-
ed the injunction annual-
ly until April of this
year, when the company
announced that it would
seek a court decision on
the issue for final
clarification of its legal
obligations.

An alliance of in-
terested groups calling
itself the Rivers Defence
Coalition stated recently
that its legal represen-
tatives have applied for
intervenor status in the
Alcan case. If the status
is granted by the court,
the Coalition will be
given the right to present
evidence, examine wit-
nesses, and put forward
legal arguments along
with the principals in the
case. The Coalition in-

Federation, the B.C.

the various groups range
from preserving the

Bulkley-Nechako system
as a viable habitat for
recreational and com-
mercial fish, to main-
taining adequate water
levels for irrigation of
agricultural land.

behalf of the Coalition,

Lotter -Hidden dangers of Rambo

To the editor,

I would like to res-
pond to comments on
‘“‘War Games’? by Bill
Homburg.

A new album by Mike
and the Mechanics,
features a song called,
“Silent Running’ which
encourages young people
to stockpile weapons —
to ignore the Church and
the State, but to listen to
the ‘‘father 'and the
spirit’’.

A quick definition of a
cult is that it is an
organization that tries to
get to God the Father by
bypassing God the Son.
The absence of God the
Son is obvious in this
song. The album, which
features the hit song, ‘‘I
Need A Miracle’’, is a
self-confessed call to
arms.

Nowhere in the,
gospels of Jesus does he
Say we are to stockpile
weapons. As Bill has
pointed out, the state is
responsible for defend-
ing the people against ag-
gressors, such as the
Soviets, but individuals
are not to take action.
Those who look to the
U.S. as a model for
Christianity should be

aware that pastors have
been arrested in that
country for having
Christian schools in their
church basements — and
the churches themselves
have been padiocked. In
the U.S., the State is op-
posed to the existence of
the church.

I happen to know that
the American Indian
Movement (AIM) has
received guerrilla train-
ing from Red China, and
that {0 years ago a cer-
tain B.C. native nation
was asked to be the train-
ing center in the war
against the white man.
This, despite the fact
that communism is a
white man’s racist
ideology. The Women’s
Movement, too, likes
socialist China, despite
the fact that over one
million baby girls were
murdered after they were
born because they were
female. Communists on-
ly consider women and

Indians to be equal in

terms of economic

slavery.

The point is that there
is a growing movement
to create violent and
bloody revolution in this
country. Of course, the
Social Credit party with

its attitude towards

recession and people like
the owner of the Gainers
plant in Alberta don’t
help matters they
drive the dissatisfied to
revolution.

Mike and_ the
Mechanics are calling
people to stockpile arms,
supposedly to be used in
self-defence, but they
also call upon rock and
rollers to follow the
spirit of the Father of
Lies, as Jesus called Sat-
an in John 8. The Devil
is capitalizing on the

‘popularity of Rambo

movies; but he will, in
the end, use these
stockpiles, not againsi
communists as society is
led to believe, but
against the Church and
the State. That is,
against you.

reps —
praised

To the editor,

Due to my experience
(30 years) in dealing with
sports as a participant,
coach, organizer, and

-mostly newspaper and

radio-television reporter,
I should be able to offer
accolades for a job well

- done.

-In all my time in
Northern B.C., I have
only once before offered
a pat on the back
through a letter to the
editor. And now I have
occasion to add to my
small list of kudos due to
the superlative job done
by the Terrace Youth
Soccer Association in ar-
ranging the recent B.C.
Youth Soccer Associa-
tion’s Interior District
‘*B’’ championships.

To co-ordinator
Graham Palmer and his
crew, I’m sure I speak
for hundreds of players,
parents and just plain
fans when I say your
group should be
justifiably proud of
everything from billets,
grounds and officials, to
the awards, banquet,
and hospitality shown to
our visitors. It was proof
once again that Terrace
can put on a class ‘‘A’?
act and send people back
to their homes,
spreading the good word
about what a great city
we have. .
' From a media aspect, I
can honestly say it was a
pleasure to be able to go
into the recording office,
get the scores right away,
and phone them into the
No drawbacks
like searching for
someone who knows the
score. The entire group
was ‘‘on the ball’? and
deserve a ‘‘hats off?’ and
a bow for the effort.

Is it any wonder that
in recent years Terrace
has been under con-
sideration for several
major events? The soccer
show was proof. Con-
gratulations, soccer peo-
ple — can the World
Cup for Terrace be far
away?
