No one here stands to benefit in even a long range way, from the log- ging. The jobs go to a few people from elsewhere and the goods and services are purchased in Wrangell. The regen- eration is a catchall phrase for doing nothing. Because of the way stumpage works here in B.C., we taxpayers are in effect paying the loggers to ship our trees to China. The overall economic benefit to the province does not exist. Subsidies are built in, and because of this, reforest- ation is uneconomical in a basic way. The logging will endanger an already ailing fishery, too. Because of concerns, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans has asked for no logging until detailed stud- ies are conducted. The Ministry of Forests figures logg- ing can go on at the same time as the studies. Tourism and wilderness creation are growing indust- ries in B.C., while Forestry is ailing. The answer is not to clearcut more trees and ship as many as possible; espec- ially in a world class wilderness watershed. Across the border the Stikine is highly valued for its wilderness values, and is offered protection. Here, the government seems to think the short term periodic income from log- ging is more valuable than the constant and growing non- stop permanent income from fisheries, tourism and wild- erness recreation. They figure that people will come from all over the world to see still another logged off river. We would like people to know that there are many , many out there and many, many here who do not think logging should happen. The responses to Bowie were mostly saying,do not log. There is inadequate data for logging, even less than there is in other areas. To allowa precedent setting timber sale in a sensitive and controv- ersial area, without listening to the voices of the concerned public and government agency people, is not fair. Resource conflicts can be solved. When both sides play fair, when objective information is gathered and proper planning and studies are done, when all concern- ‘ed groups have a fair voice, the process takes longer, but the results are well worth it. What’s the rush anyway? The trees won't disappear. The market will still be there. We plan to make a detailed response to the Minstry’s press release. ‘XQ 238 ») « Cleaning. & Commercial MCIntyre at 778-7860 Sete R PORK FOR ROTO ROT ROR ARI FIR FOR IDOI IR AIA IA ASA IAI SIA IAA SAAD SIAC A AK ‘ ‘ s ‘ 5 wnt CUTE CCC CTC C CCC CT CUCU CUCU CCC UC CC CCCCUCT OE SCE re bd SCHOOL BUDGET FALLS SHORT Continued from Page 1. month period because the financial year is changing. In addition to this budget’s shortfall, Mrs. Sethen said the budget for the next period, beginning July Ist, 1985, is approximately $300,000 short of the Board’s anticipated needs. TEACHER NEGOTIATIONS Teacher negotiations for a new contract are still underway. These should have been completed by November 15th and were delayed due to the late release of the Ministry of Education’s budget figures. Mrs. Sethen said the Board and the teachers hope to come to an agreement on some non-monetary issues shortly. However, at the time this paper went to press it looked like they would be heading for arbitration. The teacher’s contract expires December 31st. GOOD HOPE LAKE The student enrolment at the Good Hope Lake School is expected to be down considerably next year. Consequently the Board will make a decison in Jan- uary whether or not to close the school and bus the children to Cassiar. At the present time there are 24 students in Grades Kindergarten to 7. Eleven of these are in Grade 7 and will be going to school in Cassiar next September. The School Board does not expect many new students for kindergarten. There are presently two teachers and a teacher’s aide at the Good Hope Lake School. The Good Hope Lake community elected a new School Board Trustee in October. Molly Dennis was elected for the 1984-86 term. DEASE LAKE The Dease Lake School has a new principal. John Wright, who was teaching at Snowridge Elementary in Cassiar, was appointed principal as of November 13th. He replaces Ralph Wild who resigned for personal reasons. Mrs. Marie Smith has been hired as the Grade 3 teacher at Snowridge on a temporary basis until June 30, 1985. Following pressure from the community of Dease Lake the Ministry of Education has given the school board permission to include a full size gym at the new school in Dease Lake, as long as it can be done without increasing the $1.2 million price tag for the building. Original plans called for two possible sizes for a gym: one area designated as an activity room was set at 187 square metres; the second plan calls for a gym of 289 square metres. Residents of Dease Lake want a full size elementary gym of 360 square metres. Tenders for the new school have been let and ‘close the week of December 17th. LOWER POST The School Board will include a request for a new school for Lower Post in their 1985/86 Capital Expen- diture Program. The present school is a log building which is in poor condition. The board would like to build a new two room school at the same location. At present there are- 22 students in Grades Kindergarten through 7 at the Lower Post School.
