Kitimat-Stikine regional district
directors. Mar. 16.

- "FT he Tegional district board
‘couildn't agree on whether to
‘give. the school a ‘grant of

$10,000. So they voted instead a

; the’. -district’s budget — which
had. to be passed at that meeting
— in ‘case they do decide te back
the: ‘school at a future meeting.

: Aurora” president. Brian

Koven. has ‘asked both the city .

and regional district for $25,000
grants to help the arts school get
started in-its first year.

“The | planned three-week
school would take place in

visual arts, music and drama.

~ Kitimat: director Ray Brady
said -the: project would only
benefit Terrace and opposed
any regional district grant to the
school until the city of Terrace
foots a substantial part of the
bill.

"The council 77 represent
would run me out of town on a

tune of whatever, while Terrace

city council subsequently turned
it down,” he said.

Directors hoped to reach
agreement on the issue at the
board's April meeting,

Directors were uncertain how
to respond to a native Indian
group's plans to fog the tower
Stikine River valley,

The Tahltan Tribal Council
has proposed helicopter logging
of the northwest wilderness
region, but the natives there are
not united behind the plan,

Director Dave Brocklebank
said the Tahltan band council at
Telegraph Creek —’one of the

. two band councils that makes

up the tribal council — is recon-
sidering the plan.

“They don't want to jeopar-
dize the economic base of the
region for short-term jobs in the
forest sector,’? he said.
“They're beginning to view
fishing and tourism as being

The timber would be boomed
down the Stikine River to
Wrangell, Alaska for export.

Kitimat alderman. Ray Brady

opposed giving blanket ap-.

proval to the natives. “Saying

‘Let the Tahitans do whatever:
. they want’ is a blank cheque,’”

he said, “The Lower Stikine is

‘too important for that,”..
Brocklebank predicted. the

natives will, if the plan goes
ahead, ensure logging is done
selectively by helicopter, instead

‘of building logging road net-

works for clearcut lagging.

“I cannot foresee that the
Tahlitan people would be foolish
enough to destroy a resource
like this by clearcutting.”

Regional district directors
decided to support the tribal
council’s wishes when it reaches
a consensus on the logging plan,
which hasn't been completed.

Staff of the regional district
will study a suggestion that 911
service be brought into the
region,
