Yes of course the reloca-
tion will affect the quality of
local news. Prepare to hear
more about events in the big-
ger apples and less and less
about local activities,
regardless of what CBC ex-
ecutives may say. It’s in-
evitable - it’s like when the
sun shines on your house it
gets warm....when the moun-

tains get in the way, you still

get daylight but little heat -
so we'll be In the shade with
our local coverage and local
events.

Finn Larsen:
{don’t think there will be
much effect at all as long as
reporters remain stationed in
the area.

Mary Witten
. What’s wrong with having
-an office in Terrace where it
would be more central?

_ news coverage?

Prince Rupert staff would.

Val MacDonald

If a person listened to FM
Stations then it may make a
big difference, but | think
most people in Terrace don't
get any stations other than
CFTK anyway.

Judi Hannon
It will have to make some
sort of difference because of

the greater distance. Local

events may not have as
much of a priority as in the
past and personne? will pro-
bably be hired in Prince

George for the most part,

and that staff may not show
the interest in the area that a

if the CBC’s proposed reorganization of its 8.C. operations Is approved by
federal regulatory agencies, the CFPR studic and office bullding in Prince
Rupert will be sold and the technical equipment In it will be distributed to:
uther facilities in the province.

_ Lynn Cogar .

It shouldn’t' effect
coverage that much as long
as there are reporters in each
area. But, as with most
businesses it becomes com-
plicated when staff are

« spread too thin over a larger

area.

Anti-theft
program
working

TERRACE — The Terrace
RCMP’s Lock It or Lose It pro-
gram in December appears to
have had a definite impact on
pubic attitudes toward locking
unoccupied vehicles.

The program was conducted
by members of the Terrace
detachment Auxiliary force,
who left notes and brochures on
unlocked cars and trucks found
parked in the downtown area.
The proportion of unsecured
vehicles went from 26 percent
when the program started on
Dec. | to 17 percent when it end-
ed Dec. 31. A statement issued
by the RCMP last week indicates
2,566 vehicles were checked in
the course of the program, 510
or 20 percent of which were
unlocked.

December is historically a pro-
minent month for thefts from
vehicles, but in 1987 only five
percent of the year’s total occur-
red during that month, a total of
15 incidents (reported) and the
iovrest in the past five years.
During 1987, 327 thefts of items
from vehicles were reported.

Fulton presents
End-of-the-Year

awards for 1987 _ 2

by Skeena MP Jim Fulton

Medium range missiles were
scrapped at the Superpower
Summit, and the doomsday
clock was rolled back. Scandals
and resignations continued to.
rock Parliament: this time it was
Sinclair Stevens

Musselgate was in full swing.

What a year it’s been. To
celebrate the successes and
failures, here are my own end of
the year awards:

. Better to Give than Receive
Award: to Simon Reisman and
Pat Carney for the Mulroney
Trade Deal.

Revenge of the Tainted Tuna
Award: to John Fraser, who was
canned after contradicting the

Prime Minister over Tunagate. :

John sprang to life again as
Speaker of the House. I sup-
ported him for the role, which
he. then used to gag me for
criticizing Mulroney’s treatment
of the West. Good man that he
is, Fraser. then chastised the
Prime Minister and welcomed
me back to the fray.

Nice Wrapping, But Where Is
The Present Award: to Finance
Minister Michael Wilson who in-
troduced a tax reform package
that gives the very wealthy a tax
cut five times greater than the
average family. British Colum-
bians still pay $1,000 more per
year in tax than when the Mulro-

Bonded Agent for:

* Mutual Life
* Mutual Trust
x Investco Inc.

* 7 investment funds

Bissonnette. At year-end,

(CDIC) insured GIC deposits.

* Highest competitive rates *& Personal service.

ney government was elected. |
Nice wrapping, but where’s the

beef? We need economic
development in the West, not
tax cuts for the rich.

Sharing the Vision Award: to:
the House of Commons for

unanimously passing my motion —
calling for the creation of a-
South Moresby National Park |

Reserve. This motion brought

$106 million to the Northwest.

and a promise of settling title
with the Haida people.

Can I Return This On Boxing
Day Award: to Brian Mulroney
who said: ‘‘Free trade affects
Canadian sovereignty, and we
will have none of it, not during
leadership campaigns or at any
other time.’” Hmmmm. What's
that mean?

Run That By Me Again
Award: to Conservative MP
Don Blenkarn who defended
Sinclair Stevens’ continued
presence in the Conservative
caucus after the latter was found

in a conflict of interest position.

14 times. ‘‘We’ve had MPs who
have been convicted of drugs,

beating their wives, drinking and ~

driving, and all sorts of things
and none of them were ever
thrown out of caucus, so why
should Sinc?’’ said Blenkarn.
Honest, It Won't Bite Award:
to External Affairs Minister Joe
Clark who wants to resettle gun-
