“LETTERS _

TO THE TERRACE STANDARD

Our Skeena Angler

Dear Sir:

As a citizen of B.C., a taxpayer
in the Terrace area and as a mem-
ber of a "share group" J take ex-
ception to the column entitled
The Skeena Angier by Rob
Brown. This particular article
was entitled "A Sell Job for the
big Corporations."

Mr. Reb Brown does not state
where his research took him, but
it is my opiaion that he used the
research paper that was commis-
sioned by NDP Bob Skelly who

happens to be from my riding of

Albemi on Vancouver fsland,

If Mr. Brown had done full re-
search he would have also been
aware that his federal representa-

tive Mr. Fulton had on his staff

Colleen McCrory of the Valhalla
Seciety who was one of the
people instrumental in "saving"
South Moresby.

It would be in the best interest
of the so-called environmental
movement to discredit the share
groups of B.C. (was there a con-
nection?)

If Mr. Brown would have been
more diligent in his so-called re-

search he would also have found
that Mr. Skelly later "No", when
asked directly by Art Duhame,
"Do you think that anyone in the
B.C. share groups have any con-
nections with the Moonies, Causa

or Death Squads?"

This question was repeated and
again the answer was "No", That
being the case the taxpayers
should be asking why were tax
spread un-
subslantiated rumour, innuendo
and guilt by possible association
‘to discredit the share groups.

dollars used to.

Mr. Brown would be bet-
ter believed if he had done
his homework and at least

talked to the share groups.

Could it just be that the rural
voice of B.C. through the share
groups is finally being heard and
making the so-called environ-
mental groups accountable for
what they say and do?

Mr. Brown’ would be better

called ‘‘misguided”’

if he had done his
‘homework and at least talked to
the share groups that he speaks

believed

about, Has he done this yet?

As Mr, Brown said in his open-
ing paragraph he is "misguided",
hopefully he will now stick io
what his column implies "an-
gling", raaybe he will do better at

that topic.

To the editor, if Mr. Brown is to
continue his ramblings in your
newspaper it would be a credit to
your readers to have the column
title changed to reflect what he

really is writing about,

In closing let me also say that
the citizens of the Terrace area
should become more familiar
with their local issues as it relates
to land use, be it for forestry,
mining, cattle grazing, agricul-
ture, wilderness and urban setile-

ment.

Just look to the Killope, Khut-
zeymateen, Seven Sisters etc. and
wait till the so-called preser-
vationists take your area by

storm.

There’s no evil

Dear Sir:

As a member of Nirvana
Metaphysics and Healing
Centre, a spiritual healer, and a
United Church’ member, I
would like {o respond to
Kaeleen Bruce's letter.

I am traly amazed at the fear
generated by Kaeleen, as if we
are tying to entice weak-
minded souls into our web for
terrible purposes. Step out of
your fear, and open your eyes
and your heart. Many people
from a all walks of life come to

Nirvana to learn to meditate,
and come in closer contact
with their higher selves, —
“The lessons hhelp us to under-
stand our spiritual journey in
this life. We are able to bring
gteater peace, joy and light
into our lives as a result of de-
veloping a spiritual discipline. -
{ am privileged to have heal-

ing energy around me, and. ~

have learned to channel’ this -
energy for spiritual healing,
both in laying on ‘of hands and
telepathically. In most Chris-
tian Churches this would be
called Jesus’ healing power. I
consider that it is all God’s
love or universal energy, one’
and the same, however you
choose to name it

And I do feel ever so
honoured to have it Mow so
strongly through me, and to be
of service to others in healing.

We can all have direct com-
munication with the spirit
world, without having a minis-
ter as an intermediary. God is

active in our lives! And we can
surely tell the difference be-
tween a positive, healing ener-

_ gy showering us with love and

light, and one filled with
negativity, fear and darkness.

In my way of thinking, this
in no way contradicts the basic
creed and beliefs of the United
Church of Canada. There is
still a welcoming spot for me
in the Choir loft every Sunday,
and the congregation at Knox
United is truly my faith family.

’ Butso also are the healers and

Centre extends’);

classmates at Nirvana.

There are many different
ways to come to God’s love.
No one way is the absolute
true path for all. And evil
doesn’t lurk behind the door at
Nirvana just because some fear
the spirit contact. Let go of
your fear, Experience God’s
love in your own way, but ex-
tend to us the same courtesy.
Show the tolerance Jesus had
for.all people.

Shalom,

Frances Birdsell,

Terrace, B.C.

Rental disputes require —
new set of guidelines —

Dear Sir:

I feel myself being checked
and checkmated in a
bureaucratic game. I have a
dilemma that a lot of people
may find themselves in.

At present, and becoming
more prevalent in the future,
we will find a large percent of
the population living in shared
accommodation because of a
low rental vacancy and high
cost of living. The Terrace
rental vacancy is 0.08%. ..

I was recently renting a room
with the remainder of the
house to share and at the cnd
of the tenancy I found myself
in a dispute with the former
landlady over the return of my
security deposit.

On following the avenues of
resources to the renter I found
I fall into a "Catch 22” situa-
tion, The B.C, Renters Associ-
ation will not verify I am ac-
ceptable for arbitration without -
the $35 application fee. This.
fee is forfeited if my case is
unacceptable because of the
shared accommodation...

-It was suggested that it may
fall under a different common

law act and I should go.

through small claims court. On

I feel as if I am -slippiag

- Support police
rallies needed

Dear Sir:

We - need more "police
brutality"! The leftist media
says,"The youth Is frustrated".

Clear thinking productive
people say,"We are frustrated
and fed-up about growing
numbers of not studying, not
willing to work, looting,
vandalizing kids, who prefer a
street life of dope, alcohol, sex,
and mind destroying rock
*music,"

But there is also good news.

There is a group rallying be- .

hind the police in Toronto that
are no fascists and they say,
"The police should .not be |
» handcuffed", We : teed’ more.

rallies like that in ow nation, So

Authority should ‘be re-
established and the spirit of
rebellion quenched,

It all begins when the media
instigate unrest, when people
turn their backs on God and
His laws, when the. Bible is
removed from public schools,
when preachers tum liberal,

and when churches become, ~

empty.
The slogan of the French rev-

olution was, "No God, nao:

Our generation says)... -
the same thing. History repeats:
itself and we are not learning, ane

master".

our lessons.
