18 | Terrace Review — Wednesday, April 2, 1986 . Japanese student arrives in Terrace TERRACE — On Wed- nesday, March 26 Sachi- ko Kawamata arrived in Terrace. Sachiko is a 16-year-old exchange student from Sanjo, Japan. by Sherry Halfyard Sanjo is a town of ap- proximately 80,000 peo- ple, located on the west coast of the island of Hoshu in Japan. Sachiko will stay in Terrace for one year. After the Easter break, she will start Grade 11 at Caledonia Senior Secon- dary School. Sachiko is part of the Rotary International Youth Exchange Pro- gram, said Terrace Rotary Club President Dale Greenwood. While in Terrace, Sachiko will stay a total of four three- month periods with dif- ferent Rotary Club families, said Green- wood, The Rotary Interna- tional Youth Exchange Program allows students to go to various coun- tries for a year’s time. The students choose countries from the Pacific Rim area, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, European coun-~ tries and places in the Southern Hemisphere, Latin America and South America. The students select where they want to go, then they must write an essay, “‘Why I want to be an exchange student”, said Greenwood. Teachers and counsel- lors help in the selection, only above-average students between the ages of 15 and 19 are selected, because of the maturity factor required to stand up to the riggers of a different culture, said Greenwood. A short list of students is presented to the Rotary Club, where a selection is made. From here, a final selection is done by the Rotary Club District. Terrace is part of District 504 which covers half of B.C. and upper Washington. Last September we sent a student to Den- mark, and this year we will be sending one to Australia, said Green- wood. The past eight years, we've sent students yearly to coun- tries all over the world. Sewage disposal plan Questioned continues tcom mse 2 the lake and the use of lawn-fertilizing chemicals which could cause deterioration in water quality. High con- centrations of phosphorus detected in previous studies combin- ed with increased nutrient, sediment and debris loading of the waters from logging ac- tivity and residential development could create an eventual danger of eutrophica- tion, or runaway growth of algae and aquatic plants, the studies warn. The Community Plan quotes the Ministry of Environment as sug- gesting ‘‘a very conser- vative approach to development around the lake.’ In a presentation to the Greater Terrace Advisory Planning Com- mission in 1983, the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans went further in recommending a ‘moratorium on develop- ment around Lakelse Lake until a comprehen- sive study is completed on the lake’s biological carrying capacity. In addressing the topic of future use of the hotsprings, the Com- munity Plan states, ‘If the Lakelse Hot Springs were developed as a resort, then management of the Lakelse Lake and Lakelse River subareas for their high fish, Two ambulance attendants hired TERRACE — A request for two full time am- bulance attendants was approved recently by the Minister of Health. Bill High By Daniele Berquist . Bill High, spokeper- son for the Ambulance Station Division, said that the official date for the two posts is June 1 of this year. High said that last year's officiating mayor (Helmut Giesbrecht) had asked the Minister of Health to review the re- quirements for am- bulance service in the area before they could look at two full time staff, High added that there has been a need for some time of full time am- bulance attendants. High said he was very pleased with the decision, wildlife, waterfowl and recreation values could provide a compliment to activities available at the ‘Hot Springs. Game sanc- tuaries for critical habitat, combined with high fish values and fish enhancement programs in both the Lakelse and Kitimat watersheds, could provide interna- tional attractions for tourism development.’’ The Community Plan contains a recommenda- tion for installation of a sewage treatment plant which would provide a community disposal system for the entire east side of the lake, in- cluding the hot springs, but it is unlikely that such a project would pass referendum due to high cost. Although the developer and the Waste Management Branch ap- pear confident that the proposed sewage treat- ment plan for the hot- springs will meet water quality standards, the larger issue of the impact of overall development on Lakelse Lake as a fish habitat and recreational site remains in question.
