Businsss Review
Few jobs for students

so far, centre

By JOANNA WONG
JERICHO BEVAN and Ta-
mara Sweet have declared
student job hunting season
officially open.

The duo, both employ-
ment officers for the “Hire
a student program,” hope
to help Terrace’s students
and at-risk youths track
down work for the summer.

Last year, the 34-year-
old program placed 210
youths in jobs in the Ter-
trace and Kitimat area,

Tough economic times,
however, have meant less
jobs and more students
looking for work.

Currently, there are
only seven job postings, 10
less than this time last
year says Bevan.

Both officers remain
optimistic about summer
prospects.

“I’m very enthusiastic
and have big expectations
and hope to see them,”
said Sweet.

Raising awareness of
the program and drumming
up new jobs often takes
creativity.

“I like getting out into
the community and doing
fun stunts,” said Bevan,
who took part in a camp
out Jast year to encourage
the creation of student jobs
in Terrace.

This year, Bevan is
thinking of dressing up a
mannequin in a “Hire a
student” T-Shirt and then
putting it in random places
around town.

Council mulls threat of

electricity derégulation

THE CITY is taking an-
other look at the provincial
government’s move to-
wards major changes for
B.C, Hydro.

Council has decided to
ask the Terrace Economic
Development Authority to
examine the issue and
make recommendations.

Proposals to separate
the Crown corporation into
three operating entities
may be sensible, said
councillor David Hull.

But the possibility of
electricity price deregula-
tion — which could cause
prices for residents and in-
dustries to rise at least 30
per cent to continental
Market prices ~ have rung .
alarm bells across B.C.

Hull said the electricity
generated from dams built
by taxpayers’ money
’ should be used to promote
more industry and com-
merce here — and shouldn't
be sold off as an asset that

would then likely be under — |

American ownership.

“They seem to be moving
very quickly.”

“We've got to tell the
government to slow down
on this whole thing,” said
councillor Val George.
