Sockeye
pink and
steelhead
up in
Skeena

-Terrace— This year
the run of Skeena River
sockeye is about one-
third as large as fore-
casted,

by Philip Musselman

The sockeye run,
which was forecasted at
about 2.8 to 3 million
fish has only come to
about 1.2 to 1.4 million
thus far, According to
Les Jantz, the Skeena
and Nass Management
Biologist, the smaller
number of sockeye was
replaced by a larger run
of pink salmon. The run
of pinks which was sup-
posed to be about 2.4
million has increased to
over 2.8 million.

In July there were
seven days of commer-
cial openings and in
Aug. there. was an in-
crease to 14 days of
openings. The depart-
ment expects no further
openings for September.

For sportfishing, the
chinook salmon return
was a very large one, but

-the coho run, up to this

point, has been very
‘poor. Jantz expects an
arrival of stronger coho
runs later in September.

This year has seen a
great steelhead return
which is now recorded as
the second best on
record, Last year the
steelhead run was the
third best on record, but
that has been altered by
this year’s return.

Fire
report

On Saturday, Sept. 13
at approximately 8:34
p.m, the Terrace fire
department, the Thorn-
hill volunteer firefighters
and a helicopter worked
together to put out a
blazing pile of logs just
beside the Skeena River
bridge.

The fire, endangering
the two bridges, burnt
many of the cable lines
above it, leaving most of
the Thornhill area
without cablevision and
telephone. In some
parts, hydro was also af-
fected.

At 2:45 a.m. the fire
was finally brought
under control, allowing
the last fire truck to leave
the burn site.

~School board approves
plan to replace Skeena

TERRACE — An am-
bitious capital expen-
diture plan for the
1987-88 school year was
given an additional boost
by School District 88
trustees at the Sept. 9
board meeting. The $5.4
million for renovations
at Skeena Junior Secon-
dary in the draft plan
was increased by another
$2 million to provide for
replacement of the aging
building instead of
restoration.

In putting forward the
motion to increase the
expenditure, trustee
Dave Parker remarked
that he would prefer to
see $7.4 million spent for
a new building with a life
of 40 years in preference
to spending $5.4 million

' On renovating a structure

with a projected life of
20 years. The inclusion
of the extra funds
brought the total draft

Local MLA favors
new district

Frank Howard, MLA
for Skeena, said recently
he would be pleased to
work with residents in
the Hazelton area
towards the formation of
a School District for that
area.

Howard said, ‘‘A few
years ago, when the two-
mile school was closed, a
strong sentiment
developed for the forma-
tion of a School District
for the Hazelton area,
However, the feeling ob-
viosly wasn’t strong
enough for an organiza-
tion to be developed to
pursue the question.’’

“The proposal for a
Hazelton area School
District reflects a desire

for regional control,
something we in the
North know about and
experience every day in
our relationships with
Victoria.”

The establishment of
a School District requires
a Cabinet decision — an
Order in Council — and
I would imagine the
government would want
a very clear local deci-
sion before it acted.’’

**T would be most hap-
py to work with any
organization that desires
to develop such a local
decision and then to
work further with them
in pursuit of the School
District idea.’’

plan to $11.3 million,
and the motion was car-
ried without opposition,
It was pointed out to the
board that the capital
plan is still in the pro-
posal stage and that
passage of the motion
would not- limit future
discussion on the matter.

Parker noted that ap-
proval now will allow a
year of planning time
before the capital plan is
fixed in the 1987-88
budget.

The architectural re-
view of Skeena Junior

Secondary was funded
through the 1986-87
capital budget; the pro-
posed construction of a
new school and other

capital expenditures will

require endorsement
from the Ministry of
Education for inclusion .
in next year’s budget.
