In Tsimshian custom,
poles are erected outside of
“living quarters to inform
visitors of the identity of
those living there.

Bevan and Neil say the car-
ving has been more difficult
than usual because the dry
spring causes cracks in the
cedar,

“The cedar dries out fast
(when peeled) and the heat
takes out the oils in the
wood,”’ says Neil.

They've been countering

’ through a sprinkler system

longhouse. which | adds
humidity to the inside air.

And, the pair say it’s
becoming more difficult to
find clear cedar from which
to create their art.

“There aren’t many large
trees left,’’ says Neil. ‘Even
the sawmills tell us it’s hard
to find good clear wood.”

The longhouse is located
next to the Kitselas band of-
fice off Queensway.

Rupert eyeing
provincial job
_now based here

TERRACE — The city’s recent
and failed attempt to have the
RCMP subdivision head-
quarters moved here from
Prince Rupert seems to have
provoked a response.

Prince Rupert mayor Peter
Lester said last week he wants
the Provincial Emergency Pro-
gram zone manager moved to
his city from Terrace.

“We'll be in contact with the
people in charge of the
emergency program,’’ said
Lester.

He added that Prince Rupert
has always wanted the program
officer position moved back

after it was transferred out in
the early 1980s.

Prince Rupert's most recent
efforts began about. four mon-
ths ago, Lester said.

That’s about the same time
Terrace council first made its
pitch to have the RCMP head-
quarters moved here.

The attempt failed and the
RCMP now say they'll be
building a new headquarters
building in Prince Rupert.

Lester said having the

emergency program manager in -

the same town as is the RCMP

headquarters makes sense in-

case there is an emergency.
