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.

A10- The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, October 17, 2001 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. Willpo wer On sale right now at Weight Watchers.
