Queen to visit

THE GOLDEN JUBILEE of Queen Elizabeth U's
reign will take on a B.C. flavour next year when
she and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edin-
burgh visit the province Oct. 4-8.

They'll also be visiting Nunavut, Manitoba, New
Brunswick and the Ottawa area.

The Queen and the Prince were last in B,C. dur-
ing the 1994 Commonwealth Games.

Wood exports approved

THE PROVINCIAL government is allowing the ex-
port until next spring of trees damaged by the
mountain pine beetle. In-the the Prince Rupert for-
est region, up to 65,000 cubic metres can be ex-
ported as Long as it is deemed surplus to domestic
sawmilling needs. Each applicant can only export
up to 5,000 cubic metres.

The rough-peeled wood is of low, low quality be-
cause it is dry and damaged owing to the beetle
attack, says Kerry Readshaw of the forest service.

“But there does seem to be a market for it,” said
Readshaw in adding that some purchasers use the
wood for pulp and others for log house construction.

The mountain pine beetle has attacked interior
forests, causing substantial damage to marketable
limber. In the Prince Rupert forest region, the ex-
port go-ahead primarily applies to the Burns Lake
and Houston areas.

Beds parcelled out

PRINCE RUPERT is to get 12 continuing care
beds and Houston five, health care officials have
decided. The 17-bed allocation for the northwest
was first announced last December and officials
first conducted a survey of regional aeeds before
making their decision, says Dave Dennis, who
looks after continuing care for the Northwest Com-
munity Health Services Society, the former Skee-
na Health Unit.

In Prince Rupert, the 17 beds will be attached to
a larger proposal for a new and larger Acropolis
Maner, that community’s extended care facility, to
number 86 beds, said Dennis.

Houston’s five beds will be used to establish a
greater health care presence in that community
which now only Has‘a-bagic.clinic, he said.

for acute — ot hospital‘type - tare but-it does mean‘
the benefits flowing from those beds can be blen-'
ded in to boost other types of services, Dennis
added.

Widows missing out

THERE ARE about 50 thousand low-income wi-
dows throughout the country who are not receiving
federal spousal allowances due to departmental in-
formation-sharing barriers and confidentiality is-
sues, Says a recent report.:

According to Canada Customs and Revenue offi-
cial Michael Proulx, widows between 60-64 are
the most affected. Seniors can call 1-800-277-9914
to see if they qualify.

Board
revises
student
travel

policy

SCHOOL DISTRICT offi-
cials are revising the stu-
dent travel policy because
of terrorist attacks in U.S.
The board wants to re-
duce its liability in the
event something poes
wrong when students take
sports or extra-curricular
school trips, the superin-
tendent of schools says.
“We don’t want to go
the way of the Calgary

school district and do
away with all travel
everywhere,” Randy

Smailbrugge said.

The policy committee
will be taking input from
teachers and school princi-
pals.

So far, no other school
districts in Canada have
taken that step, according
to the B.C, School
Trustees Association.

Boards are liable when
a student dies or is injured
during a school trip in Ca-
nada, or abroad, but not if
reasonable care has been
takea to mitigate risk.

The association has told
school districts the risk of
terrorism aboard commer-
cial flights “does not ap-
pear at this time to be
more significant than other
travel-related risks.”

_jeTheC Sik 25 advisory —
‘dees point out boards risk

losing deposits because
there’s a risk travel ser-
vices could be disrupted.

The school trustees as-
sociation also warns dis-
iricts the issue is likely to
receive media attention
regardless of what boards
decide.

Cancelling all trips will
be portrayed as overly
cautious, it says, and nat
doing so may be charac-
terized as insensitive to
the safety of students.
