Page 2 Cassiar Courier MLA REPORT STIKINE - ISKUT HYDRO PROJECT Al Passarell, NDP MLA for Atlin accused BC Hydro of a “‘beads and trinkets approach” regard- ing the recently announced study of the Stikine- Iskut hydro-electric development. Passarell was referring to the presence of Hydro personnel in Telegraph Creek and other towns in the area affected, who spoke about the jobs that the project would bring. “The people of Atlin object to the Hydro engin- eering plans on two grounds,”, said Passarell. “One is the issue of native employment and the second is the issue of Hydro’s priorities,’ he said. “The Tahltan native Indians who inhabit the area act as guides and outfitters. Their livelihood will be seriously damaged if the project goes ahead. The offer of a few jobs at a Hydro substation will not make up for the destruction of their way of life,’ said Passarell. “The second reason for the objections from the people of Atlin concerns Hydro’s priorities, said Passarell. “On page 9 of the recently released Shaffer Report on the Cheekeye-Dunsmuir line, it is pointed out the present government, through BC Hydro, is pursuing a policy of cheap power for industry. The real costs of electrical expan- sion are not being borne by the user, according to the report,’’, said Passarell. “What this amounts to is the same old story of the North of B.C.subsidizing the Social Credit government’s pet projects. We in the North are going to pay in terms of environmental damage - in this case the destruction of one of the last habitats of the mountain goats in British Col- umbia. We are going to pay because BC Hydro is following pricing and planning practices of an- — other era. The people of Atlin strongly object to this condescending and SERUGME RI BPpEoaee: as said Passarell. fe i Watch for the Big coming October 13th AUCTION & BAZAAR HANDICRAFT & BAKE SALE : The Recreation Hall - Raffle it’s a good one} OBITUARY Jack Spycher, age 24, of Cassiar, B.C., formerly of Bentley, Alberta, passed away suddenly at Cassiar on July 7, 1979.

Our program will include the following artists: Vancouver Radio Orchestra Piaf Divas of the Golden West Troika Balalaikas Romberg Remembered Premek & Gina The actual dates of each performance have not yet been finalized but the season will start in Oct. and continue through until April. It should be noted that admittance to the con- certs will be by season tickets only. The cost of a season ticket, which is good for all six - concerts, will be $30.00. The $5.00 increase in price was prompted by two facts. First, the artists fees have increased over the past year and secondly it will only be possible to seat 275 peo- ple in the theatre, and not the 300 originally ant- icipated. We apologize to our present members for the increase. those members for their patience -and_ co- operation over the delay. : Over the past year, the Concert Society has been busy raising money to improve the stage facil- . ities at the theatre and also to purchase the neces- sary piano and sound equipment for the perform- ances. This fund-raising campaign is continuing. Since our last bake sale was such a success we have decided to hold a Bake Sale & Handicraft Sale at the same time. This will be on the after- noon of November 17th. We hope the response from you all will be as fantastic as it was last time, If you can contribute to the Handicraft © Booth please contact Wendy 3 Zabot or ‘Betty Bow-- man. On the evening of November 17, we will hold a “Klondike Nite” at ~the Rec. Centre- Another of our fund-raising projects is the Cassiar — Cookbook, which we are in the process of produc- ing. However, for this project we still need many more recipes. If you have a favorite recipe which you don’t mind sharing, please take a minute to write it out and send to Cassiar Concerts, Box 495, Cassiar, B.C., or give it to Lee Coran or Sandy Crawford.
