a worry

ALTHOUGH THE provincial government won't release the details of a public opinion poll: on land claims taken in June, it. docs say nothing much has changed over the past year... Aboriginal affairs ministry © spokesman Bill Armstrong’ says British Columbians con- tinue to rank land claims setlle- ments a top priority. : “The interest is higher than last year and the attitude is. similar,” he said. . Ammstrong” added, that the latest poll. indicates B.C. resi- dents support treaty negolia- tions and that the majority of those surveyed say settlements

They also favour negotiations: -over court action...

The latest poll was done by the Angus Reid group and sold ! to a number of clients, includ- : ing the provincial government.’ And since the government bought the poll instead of com- missioning it, there’s a: clause in the sales contract prohibit- . ing its general release,” said Armstrong. — ,

Tou rist total not bad.

THE NUMBER of tourists who stopped in Terrace for in- formation ‘last month wasn’t’ that’ hard hit despite traffic slowdowns and disruptions caused by resurfacing of the Lite bridges.

There were 1,092: parties totalling 1,918 people “who: stopped at the chamber of commerce’s Keith Ave. in- focentre and 351 parties totall- ing 635 visitors who stopped at . the temporary tourist office at city hall. . te

PRESERVATION of greenbelt - land along Howe Creek may ' depend on the generosity of prop- “erty owners there, .

There are a number of missing chunks of property that prevent “the city from designating and de- veloping a linear park, ;

City council is close to a: deal to

“acquire a 10-acre parcel behind ~_ Christy Park, councillor David “Hull told Terrace Greenbelt Asso-

ciation members at. an. Aug. 11 ‘ Tecreation Committee meeting. - But council has ruled out large

: scale purchases of the properties.

“There isn't a lot of spare

cash,’’ Hull said,

The association has raised $1,500 in ‘one event so far and ~ plans more for the purchase’ of some of the properties,

~ But Hull suggested the associa- ~ tion try to persuade some of those property owners to donate creck-

side Jand as a legacy of parkland to the city for future generations. He pointed to four property owners — whose land is mainly on the bench but includes a toe of land at the foot of the escarpment. The land at-the bottom of the hill is useless to those owners in- dividually. But they could be de- veloped collectively, . Council rejected a proposal to build luxury condos there two years ago in the face of strong op-

_ position from greenbelters.

Hull said there may be ways to make donation of the-land more attractive to owners.

He said an income tax receipt could be. issued for the value of the land. The owner would get a deduction one year and wouldn’t have to pay property taxes on that portion of the land in future. ©

could adorn benches in the park.

Although city councillors ‘said they support the - gteenbelters,.

Hull and councillor. Val George said they’re not prepared to rule out further development of the lots that the city is eyeing.

“We can't make a statement like that at this point,” George said. “It. could be counter- productive.’”

But he says progress is being -

made.

Merrill said the association backs recreation director Steve Scott’s plan for the greenbelt park, but they want to expand it.

Scott's plan stops at the bottom of Lanfear Hill. The greenbelters want to continue on all the way along Howe Creek te. Terrace Steel. They're also more adamant at the need to fill in missing pieces, like the 10-acre parcel be- hind the soccer fields,
