I'ma skier and I would like to see a good resort in the area as | recently moved here and plan to stay for some time. | never did ski the local hill last year but | went to Smithers which is real- ly too far away for one day. It would be nice to have a ski facility in the area which would be open all winter long. PE: ae Vicki McQuade Yes. | think Kitsum- kalum is a fosing pro- position. It's not in a very good location. The Terrace Review asked: Are you in favor of permanently closing down the Kitsumkalum Ski Hill operations? Vicki Parviainen Yes, if the other development gets go- ing. But! think it will be a shame if we are left with no ski facilities, especially for those who like the downhill sport. Darline Lockhart Yes. | think Terrace needs another ski hill that will be open for the duration of the winter outdoor season. “Ves” erat et tet = Kurt Houlden Yes. Considering the amount of hours and days Kitsumkalum was open the last few years. | don't feel, in this case, it is worth the effort. Ski opera- tions are expensive to maintain and require a full viable. Democracy sh To the editor, Brian Gregg’s ‘‘con- spiratorial’’ article is cer- tainly not without basis in fact. The CFR and TC are indeed elitist clubs which use money and media manipulation to attain their goal — an economic oligarchy. That all American Presidents are complicit in this order is, in my opinion, a given, in- cluding Ronald Reagan. In my opinion, he believes as much as any of them that ‘‘the people cannot run their own lives.”’ I strongly disagree with Brian, however, that it doesn’t matter who the voters elect. Yes, we are a long way from economic democ- cracy but political democracy should not be Letter abandoned. Brian further ex- trapolates that Ed Broadbent is ‘‘striving for the same new world order,’’ This is unfair and untrue. While we (New Democrats) may all be subject to the ‘forces’? of the elite oligarchy, we are not consciously or willingly facilitating their goals. We will all go fighting, screaming and kicking both inside the political forum and out, before we will capitulate to elitism. History has shown us that people can be in control of their destinies but to do this we must all Terrace Review — Wednesday, June 11, 1986 5 Ould not be abandoned be in possession of the facts and issues.

The skiing has been so unreliable at -Kitsumkalum in past years and the Shames proposal looks like it could provide consis- tent skiing for the area. Why keep pouring money into a losing proposition? N at ive leaders meet continued from page 3 “We are fighting, not only for ourselves, but for future generations. The government would like to divide us, but we must not allow the government. to. settle claims in court. Unity is what we need the most; where we have unity we can move with power.”’ The opening presenta- tions were capped by a powerful speech from Cliff Bolton, chief of the Kitsumkalum Band. ‘‘We have all depended on logging at times in the past, but now it is going too far, destroying the land. The forest industry is destroying everything connected with the land, with no consideration for anything but com- mercial timber. Twenty years from now they may say they’re sorry, but what good will that be to us?”? Bolton concluded by calling on the in- dividual members of the council to put their dif- ferences aside and to form a united front pressuring governments to begin negotiations. Election of the ex- ecutive for the council resulted in Mel Bevan, a member of the Kitselas Band and one of the primary organizers of the meeting, being voted president. Other officers are vice-president Fran- cis Lewis of Kitkatla, secretary Heber Clifton of Hartley Bay, and treasurer Art Sterritt of Hartley Bay. In an inter- view following the gathering, Bevan stated that the next meeting is scheduled for early July in either Terrace or Prince Rupert. ‘‘We have just begun this pro- cess,”"’ he _— said. dashed lines.
