Vol. 4, Issue No. 42 ~ Major woods shutdown — are out of work and the situation could go from “very serious”’ te. “critical”? if something doesn’t happen soon, says Northwest. - Loggers. Association secretary- YOUR HOMETOWN LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED NEWSPAPER "TERRACE, B.C., WEDNESDAY, October 19, 1988 manager Al Bishop. It’s a pro- blem he says began about three weeks ago when a backlog of timber at the. new Skeena Cellulose mill made it necessary for them to shut almost all of their logging operations down. _ Civic candidates file TERRACE —Local election ac- tivity is gearing up, with Dave Hull declaring his intention to run for city council and some in- cumbents starting to make their decisions whether or not to run again. The Coopers have both decided to throw their hats in for the November 19 election, Edna for school board and Bob for ci- ty council. Both ‘school trustee Laverne Hislop and city coun- cillor Bob Jackman told the Ter- race Review.they’re still ponder- ing the question. Trustee Francis Sabine said Tuesday he just made up his mind: he’s going to run again. “1 feel that my being on the school board has made a dif- ference, and. there’s still some “unfinished business I’d like to see through,” he said. He cited the first: contract between the school board and the Terrace District Teachers Association as of vital interest to the communi- ty. “It's important to have a _. person there who can see both sides and I think that’s been my role, I'd like to continue in that. "I would feel like I was running out if I left now.” . Sabine said that while a lot of his goals were accomplished over the last term, with the assistance of a ‘‘very helpful ad- ministration”, there were a few disappointments. “‘I guess my greatest disappointment was not getting French immersion into the senior secondary level. I don’t suppose very many people here will agree with me, and I might even lose some votes because of it. But I believe the only ‘appropriate program’ for French immersion students, is French immersion.” The candidates have until Oc- ‘ty, and he says he’s been told According to Bishop, the new — mill is only operating at about 40 percent of its maximum capaci- that the shutdown will last ‘‘in- definitely’’.. But he says many. small contiactors will. be in’ serious trouble if the shutdown lasts more than a couple of mon- ths, and they need to know how soon they can get back to work. Bishop says that even though Skeena Cellulose is cutting a Legislative Library, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C.

Realtors give boost | to Fire Safety House The Terrace firefighters’ project to build a Fire Safety House got its first major donation last week when Gordie Olson, president of the North West Real Estate Board, presented firefighter Ray Tremblay with a cheque for $500 on behalf of realtors in Terrace, Kitimat and Prince Rupert. The Fire Safety House, when completed, will be a self- contained unit on wheels designed to teach children how to get out of a burning building safely. With smoke, light and sound, the house creates a realistic impression of a house fire. Tremblay says the concept has a proven record of saving lives, citing a recent incident in Nanaimo in which an eight year old girl saved both herself and her sister by using, skills she had learned in that community’s Fire Safety House. He also points out that a recent tragedy in Prince Rupert — a fire that resulted in six deaths -— could have been avoided if the people involved had been educated ‘in escape techniques. Community support for the Fire Safety House in Terrace is growing, Tremblay said. In addition to the donation from the Real Estate Board, Convoy Supply has agreed to supply roof- ing, siding and insulation for the project, E.B. Horsman will provide part of the wiring, and the trades program at North- west Community College has volunteered to build it. — Tremblay says operation of the house will require a large commitment of volunteer time from Terrace firefighters: each of the seven will put in 15 days.a year taking the program to schools in Terrace and Thornhill. ‘‘It’s ail worth it if it saves one life,’ he said, , Individuals wishing to contribute to the project can make donations to the Fire Safety House account at the Terrace branch of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
