ZihlMERMAN PEOPLE from virtually every sector of the northwest woods industry ‘areonce again calling on the provincial government to designate the area a special economic zone for forestry. ’ It’s a call that’s been made numerous times over the last two decades. This time the calls are more urgent because a high Ca- nadian dollar, a soft international lumber market and cos.tly softwood lumber tariffs are strangling an already devastated industry. The idea of a special economic zone in which com- panies would pay lower amounts for the timber th’ey‘buy from the province and in which the province itself would pay for roads to timber stands and spend money to boost sil- viculture gained momentum in a 2000 report commissioned by the former NDP government. Wes Cheston, a former assistant deputy forests minister, was specific on those recommendations and more in his re- port. It was followed by a City of Terrace report, completed in 2004, and backed Cheston’s findings that high logging costs needed to be cut because of the law value of north ests. A’ “A special ‘economic zone means that ydu pu, around an area of the province where you can be very cre- I ative,” says Roger Harris, former junior minister of state for I forestry. “Maybe we have a unique silviculture policy, be a different policy for BC Timber Sales - when y “special zone,” it really says nothing, so under that window

However, Terrace Tourism Society has roof that we have met the objectives of our strategic pP an, have developed good relationships with other tourism associations withinworkin\ t e province of BC and with regional groups. We have represented our membership in great marketing campaigns, measured our successes with careful monitoring of all marketing activities and passed a clean financial audit. ‘All of these successes are documented in Terrace Tourism Society’s 2005 Final Report which you are in receipt of.

One reason City of Terrace and The Regional District Kitimat Stikine agreed to work togther to insitute this tax was because Terrace Tourism Society could not duplicate already existing tourism initiatives. You knew this. You signed it. Yet, under your new plan you will allocate 2% monies to the Chamber of Commerce Visitor Information Center, duplicate product development that TEDA outlines in their 5 year strategic plan.

This new, larger mandate does not have the required approval of 51% of the accommodation sector rooms and 51% of the accommodation properties. This accommodation approval is a Provincial Government requirement.

After failing in your first attempt to redirect the money from Terrace Twrism Society to the City of Terrace, council is now poised for a 2nd attempt to pull the 2% tax fundina from ‘Terrace Tourism Socieb by‘ changing the existini bylaw at the upcoming RDKS meeting in Hazelton on August 1 1th.

Terrace Tourism Society is continuing business as usual with our marketing initiatives on track for the 2007 year, but we are upset with having to fight to retain the 2% funding as per signed contracts. We would like to be spending 100 percent of our time and resources on fulfilling our goals of increasing tourism for Terrace and area.

Again, I have to ask you, what is your signature worth?

AN EXPLOSION similar to one seen in an action movie injured a gas station employee in an accident that had the potential for much more damage last week. Terrace fire chief Peter Weeber said a pilot light on a mo- torhome stove ignited the explosion while a gas station at- tendant was filling the vehicle with liquid natural gas at the Copperside on Hwy 16 west ardund 11 a.m. July 26. “Thank God the fuel operation was not compromised,” he said. ‘‘There could’ve been a mushroom cloud in Terrace on Global [“VI.” The explosion caused a flash fire that burned the attendant up the back of his head and on his right arm. - He went to local hospital to be checked oui, Weeber said. No one else was injured. At the time of the explosion, a Trimac truck was filling the gas station’s fuel tanks only five or six feet away from the motorhome. J < If its fuel had ignited, the situation could have been much worse.

“We were very concerned,” Weeber said. (J 1 When firefighters arrived, the gas was still ’leaking and they had to shut it off. The gas fumes dissipated quickly afterward.

Weeber has seen videos of gas station fires and said it’s not uncommon for motorhomes to overheat and catch fire on highways. “It was an accident but I mean this accident could’ve been so much worse because of the major fueling going on,” he said, adding the city got as close as it gets to a gas station fire. “We were lucky all the way around.”

I, Museum’s the place to be POSITIVE FEEDBACK is all it ,takes to keep a good thing going. That’s why the folks at Heri- tage Park Museum are again of- fering workshops in traditional arts and crafts during Riverboat Days. Acting museum curator Bren- da Guernsey says she was ap- proached during its recent Canada Day celebration by children who ‘ spoke excitedly of the crafts they ‘ had made last year. “We had kids askini about the arts and crafts workshops - they still have things from last year,” Guernsey said. Tliat’s exactly what the mu- seum is hoping for.” The museum’s summer staff will lead the workshops, teaching of First Nations culture, nature and pioneers’ way of life through arts and crafts. 0 Some examples include mak- ing hornenlade stilts and paper, hand knitting and marble making. Guests Melodie Johnson and Dani Pigeau will teach the youngsters how to make button blankets and dream catchers respectively.
