A2- the Terrace Standard, Wednesday, July 8, 1998 FROM FRONT Trustees huddle to plan cuts Campbell — a Kitimat trustee —said the efficiency team was supposed to focus on the budget and ways to save money, not to com- ment on advisory com- mittees and the amalgama- tion process. The report aiso referred to the board's ‘‘apparent lack of sense of priority’? when coming up with possible culs, “It is interesting to note there is no reference to making reductions as far away from direct instruction to students in school as pos- sible as the highest priority principle behind budget deliberations,’’ the report said. Campbell doesn’t agree with some of the report’s proposed cuts, in particular the recommendation. to close the Kitimat office. “It won't be beneficial closing it — not to us in our commiunity,’’ she said. Unless the building is sold for $200,000, Campbell said there won’t be real cost savings. She doesn’t want to see the building sit empty. Perhaps, she said, it will be leased out to a teen mothers’ program. Campbell said that Ram- sey wanls the office shut down because he said that it segregates the district. “fT guess it has to be done so that everyone has access to the district office in Ter- race,’ she said. ‘But I’m not happy with this. It was hard to take.”” Campbell also disagreed with the recommendation to cut advisory committees be- cause then people wouldn’t have a casual forum to voice their concerns, Terrace . trustee Stewart Christensen, however, agreed with the report’s findings that advisory teams should be advisory. “T believe we should get advice from all of our part- tier groups, .and trustees - should vote on that advice =. -not’ advisory’ teams voting on it and passing it to us,”* he said. Overall Christensen said the report was very well done, “T wouldn’t have a prob- lem following it carte blan- che,”? he said, “I don’t think we could go wrong by doing so.” Trustee Marj Brown also agreed the report was well done. She said that another way to save money would be cut trustees’ salaries, instead of taking $20,000 from overall trustees’ expenses. ‘When trustees don’t travel because they don't want to or they’re too busy or whatever, it’s not a big deal. We don’t really feel the pinch. And I think we should be fecling the pinch teo,”’ Paul Ramsey Christensen didu’t agree with reducing trustees’ pay since it might deter candi- dates from running, As for cutting music ‘pro- grams in Terrace, trustees said they were looking at them as the last things to cut, “Can we find $228,000 in other areas to keep that music program going?’ said Campbell, ‘I don't know. The minister said if we can find the money wherever, then we can keep that program going. If not, it hastobecut” Trustees -will- meet again - tomorrow in-a private meet- ing to further discuss pos- sible cuts. And there will be’ another public meeting July - 14 before the preliminary budget is sent to Victoria.

FROM FRONT Natives call fishing _ restrictions ‘genocide’ Frank Wesley, a represen- tative of the Port Simpson Fishing Committee who gave Guno $500 to setup a legal defense fund, said fisheries officials were trying to starve natives out of their land. Since the collapse of a Port Simpson cannery, Wes- ley said 98 per cent of his people were out of work. A far cry from the eco- nomic clout he said local aboriginals usually have during fishing season. “We spend $8.5 million in Prince Rupert alone,’’ said Wesley, ; Wesley went on to say he believed the federal fisheries managers were pointless and aboriginals needed to work nation to na- tion and manage their own resources to bring them- selves out of a now-critical economic situation, Another Port Simpson commitee member, Stan Dennis, expressed anger against the sport fishing in- dustry. “As long a8 sports fishermen are out there fish- ing, I want to be out there too,”” Dennis said. The Friday afternoon protest was conducted under the banner of the ‘Welcome Back Salmon Festival.” It consisted of a parade, dancing and a salmon bar- becue, Kitsumkalum band elder Vera Henry, who led the crowd in a thanksgiving prayer, urged native people to work together against the federal government to Moose collisions spark warning RCMP ATTENDED an accident between a moose and a Chev S10 Pick-up truck Saturday. .

Here’s why: The kidneys can't function pro- parly without enough water. When they don’t work to capacity, some of their load is dumped anto tha liver, One of the livar's prim- ary functions is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy for tha body, Bul, if the liver has to do some of the kidney's work, it can't operate at ful throttle. As a result, it metabolizes less fat, more fat | femains stored in the body and wegiht loss stops. Drinking enough waler isthe best treaiment for water retention. | When the body gels less watar, it percleves this as a threat to sur- f+ vival and bagins to hold on to every drop. Water Is stored in extra FS callular spaces (outside the cells). This shows up as swollen feat, legs and hands. Diuretics offer a temporary solution at best. Thay force out stored water along wilh some essential nutrients, Again, tha body perceives a threat and will replace the lost water at the B' first opportunity. Thus, tha condition quickly returns. The overweight parson needs mora water than the thin one. Larger paple have larger metabolic loads. Since we know that f: water is tha key to fat metabolism, it follows thal the overweight J person needs more water. ~ §o'let me raise my glass of purified water and proposa a Ff Investment Advisor: Investment Advisor: You should consider the year. .to-daia per: Smart chatce. formance, full-year performance, three year performance, fiva-year parformance, ' ten-year performance, average annual izad retum since inception, dividend - schedule, BellCharts rating, Palrack rank: ing, average P/E ratio, average market capitalization, cash position, currency . exposure, Tong- and short-term: capital - gains, the fund's Investment’ objective, : investment stratagy, research capabliiitias, adherence to Investment style, prior his- tory, reputation of fund company, tenure of the portfollo manager, portfolia tum.) over, tax efficiency, risk indicators; alpha, beta, standard. deviation; fund parform-' ance In up markets and down markets, asset growth of fund, size of fund, fund composition, and past and present sector.’ weightings.
