Ag - the Te Terrace Standard, Wechesdeyy September 10, 2003 CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD “The Mail Bag It’s about the economy and not about bears Dear Sir: After being witness to the way city councillor David Hull handled himself with the issue of stores opening on stat holidays, I have te wonder why he would even consider speaking out on something as silly as not killing black bears-in order to save the Kermode bear, ] read the article in the paper and have to agree with Dr. Ritland, and the provin- cial government biologists. The Kermode bear has shown up in other regions and scems to not be at risk at this time. The city of Terrace is however a bit at risk. With the forestry being what it is, shouldn't Mr. Hull be concentrating more on bringing new business and new indus- try to our town? Many people here are out of work, and many are leaving- town. Terrace is a great place to live and to faise a family. I feel that the growth and success of our town is far more important at this time and would hope that he could focus on it for the immediate future. Darlene Reid, Terrace, B.C. Brilliant corporate move Dear Sir: It seems every time you open the pa- per, there's something about New Skeena. My question is, what Skeena? This is an on going thing, and going where. I'm told that George Petty said that he was back to correct a mistake. What was that? Bankrupting Repap B.C, or the loss of all the money. Something to think about. — Now steps in George’s boy, Dan Ve- niez, the man of the hour, to fix all and make things right again. Hey, give Danny credit. He got unions ta the table and got what he needed. But still not good, In steps Prince Rupert City council and says we'll lend you twenty million, but we ask the people first. They say yes. Rupert council attaches some strings to save themselves and the people of Prince Rupert, good thing. Now what Dan; too many strings. Then there’s Hazelton. The town hit hard, almost zero work with mill and bush down. And there are also back taxes. Mayor puts lien on equipment. ‘Smart™-. move, but may be a little too late. Still Til take my hat off to him. Now the latest NDP and Kitimat Sti- kine regional district are asking for an in- quiry. Why? because Campbell will not listen, Or is this the new Liberal business plan. Start in the nosth were there’s not much chance of hurting their party, then filter it down into the rest of B.C. Take a look at the Jatest contract off- ers to the unions, Pretty close to what Danny got. Think about it, folks. Why would the Liberals sell te NWBC Timber when they already know George's track — récord with Repap B.C. Dan, if you keep the-company brilliant move. But [’ll lay odds you sell, Camp- bell gets what he wants and George gets what he wants. All from the backs of the working people and small business of the north. Brilliant, brilliant B.S. H.J Broeks, Terrace, B.C. No need for the horn Dear Sir: I am writing to the lady that honked her horn at me on the afternoon of Aug. 27 at the Keith and Kalum intersection by Tim Hortons. ~T-am not claiming to be the world’s best driver, but I do know the rules of the road, When approaching an intersection and the light is red, you must stop, even when making a right turn.
