Letters te the editor “government wants $800 more for the property than the value of the building on it. The. B.C. government spends next to nothing for re- creation in the Cassiar area so people have gone ahead and made their own recreational facilities on the lakes and rivers. Now it would appear that they are to be pen- alized for that also. Much volunteer works, especially by the Lions Club, has opened up two lakes in Particular, Chain and Simmons, Most recreational cabins from Chain Lakes to Dease Lake have provided the inhabit- ants of Cassiar.an escape from the work week_and have improved roads, lake and river shores, and tourist facil- ities, The government gives little chance for an individual to consult a lawyer or to apply for an court injunction so. that individual can receive a fair hearing. After all, most court days are 60 days apart in Cassiar and the law- yers who accompany the circuit court are criminal law- yers, not realty or consititutional lawyers. Andy Scott OUR TEENS ARE FANTASTIC | would like to make a rebuttal to Mr. Brocklebank’s “Letter to the Editor” about our teenagers, in the May issue. | also am a dues paying member of the Cassiar Com- munity Club and it is my understanding that the teen club is the only activity just for teens sponsored by the C.C.C. and that the teens support that club themselves. ¢- It does seem a shame that Mr. Brocklebank wasted his evening on so few teens, but did anyone ask the teens if they wanted this dance? Were the teens invited to any meetings to discuss the date or other details of the dance? If the family part of the dance was so popular that’s an in- dication of what our kids want. - : As for teens “working’’ and “making things happen”, and “having get up and go”’ |’ personally think the kids are fantastic. | have worked on several work parties with teens to bring about projects. that wouldn’t have happened but for them, because there were-not enough adult volunteers. Sure they have to be asked, and also guided and taught how to get organized, how to make a committee work, what a chairperson’s responsibilities are. | believe, as an - adult it’s my duty to pass on such knowledge to those who are coming along behind me. If the teens I've worked with are any example of ‘‘what’s coming some day soon” | can’t wait till they reach the age of eligibility to join the service club | belong to. We could sure use people who are able to “produce’’ for 5 hours a day, take extra curricular courses or play hockey or skate or do gymnastics for an hour, do homework, help with the dishes, volunteer to — help with club work parties on weekends and then pee our smaller kids when we want'to “‘relax’’. Sure, you have kids who are “sluffers’” when it comes to work, but perhaps they are only following the example set for them. | can name several adults who have lived in Cassiar for 10 years and more, and have not once volun- teered for anything. Perhaps the answer is for more adults to show.a better example and to feel less the right to criti- size our Cassiar teens. Pam Krawczyk 6 Walls Furnishing Co. show show Swim.

WEEBER, THE POLITICIAN New Hazelton, April 17th, 1984 During the past few months I’ve been asked at least a hundred times why I decided to get into federal politics. There are many reasons why I did, I’m not going to go into all of them here but I would like to share one of the more important reasons. I have watched this NorthWest grow into a modern, prosperous region with fine cities, good roads and har- bours, and good people. In recent years I have, along with many Northerners, become alarmed at the preoccupation with the harvesting of our natural resources, our forests and our fish, and the growing neglect of our Governments to manage and replenish these resources. We have. been like farmers, on a big harvesting binge without planting or growing crops. The rest of the country seems to be rising from the ashes of the recession, while we are still in a nose dive. Why do we have 8000 people idle, while there are thou- sands of potential jobs reforesting our logged over lands to produce new forests? To carry out the massive stream ~ Management and enhancement programs that are needed to replenish our vanishing fisheries? Why must we be un- employed in the midst of vital work? We have to stand up and be heard, and pull our region out of the doldrums!!! We have to become part of the re- covery instead of victims of the recession, and we have to tackle that recovery on all fronts. We have tremendous untapped resources; minerals, oil, great coalfields, and unused pulpwood reserves. We need dedicated politicians and Governments who can set the stage for business men to develop and capitalize these Tesources so that they can benefit our people. We need visionaries and economists who can diversify our economic base, so we are never again caught with all our eggs in one or two baskets. We still have our infrastructure, our highway network our railways and harbours. We still have the basis for our Tesources, Our great rivers and streams, our fertile valleys and the tremendous capacity to grow fish, and trees and crops. And we still have our people, the same Hood peo ple who helped us build and prosper. But all of these will not help us if we sit on the side- lines complaining. We have to get in on the action, by be- ing part of a dynamic new Government, by having a strong voice in the decisions, the directions and the prior- ities that will affect our lives and our future. And that is one of the reasons, why Pete the Logger i is now ‘P.C. Pete’ the politician. P. Weeber.
