The chief adminis- trative post at Mills Memorial Hospital has been filled after being vacant for ten months. Norman Carelius, the new administrator, comes to Terrace from Nelson, B.C., where he spent 14 years as chief laboratory technician, and later assistant ad- ministrator at the Kootenay Lake District Hospital. In a recent interview Carelius, who has had a month to settle into his new job, said, ‘I feel very comfortable about working in this hospital, It’s similar in size and ac- tivity to the hospitals I’ve worked in before. I find it a well-run hospital in comparison to others I've had experience with, a busy hospital with a good range of specialty services and enthusiatic and well-qualified per- sonnel.’’ Carelius said that when he commenced his duties here, he found Mills Memorial in “good operating shape’’ and gave credit to Shirley Bentley, who has been acting administrator since Robert Finlayson left the position in June of 1985. ‘She carried the ball admirably,’’ Care- lius said, ‘‘She got the 2 Terrace Review — Wednesday, April 2, 1986 Administrator likes what he sees” at Mills Memorial Hospital Norman Carelius takes the helm at Milis Memorial Hospital with 14 years of administrative experience. hospital a three-year ac-. creditation. You can’t do much better than that.” With regard to changes in hospital operations, Carelius said,‘‘There will prob- ably be some internal juggling and fine tuning on the organizational charts. There is a possiblity that we may be contracting out ad- ministrative services to the Terraceview Lodge in the future. That may re- quire a few added per- sonnel in accounting, ad- ministration and phar- macy for the extra workload in those departments.”’ In revealing the hospital's first-draft ver- sion of capital equip- ment requirements for the coming year, Care- lius remarked, ‘‘This is a common problem for all hospitals: the demands always exceed the available funds.’’ He ex- plained that although the costs are partially met by contributions from the provincial government and the regional district, the hospital relies heavily on donations from the community. ‘Without donations from in- dividuals and organiza- tions, we'd really be ina mess,’’ he said, and add- ed, ‘‘The support in this community is very good. The Mills Memorial Ladies’ Auxiliary deserve particular credit for their efforts.’’ Carelius also feels positive about the Mills Memorial board. ‘‘I find this board very easy to deal with,’’ he said. ‘*They represent a good cross-section of the com- munity, they’re qualified and enthusiastic. I would describe them as sensibly pushy and very forward- looking.”’ Carelius concluded by emphasizing the continu- ing need for community support to enable Mills Memorial to provide Terrace with top-quality medical services. It would appear that the Terrace hospital has acquired an ambitious, experienced and en- thusiastic new manager — and the staff all call him ‘‘Norm’’. Sewage disposal plan QUESTIONET coniaes trom page 1 supervisor at the branch office, stated, ‘“We will mostly be addressing the treatment system. Samples will be taken at the discharge point, and the quality of the ef- fluent must meet established standards.’’ In assessing the effec- tiveness of lagoons in treating sewage, Bindra commented, ‘If they work, they are a reasonably good method. Lagoons are consistent with regard to effluent quality because there are no mechanical parts to fail.”’ Bindra went on to explain that lagoons work through the actions of micro- organisms which break down organic waste pro- ducts through a series of biochemical reactions. If granted, the permit would allow discharge of 30 cubic meters of ef- fluent daily from May 1 to October 31. Bert Orleans, spokesman for Mt. Layton Hotsprings Resort, said in a recent interview that immediate development plans for the site consist of pools, a coffee shop and water slides. Orleans stated that the waste disposal aspect of the operation ‘‘will be well covered by the Waste Management Branch. The system is designed by engineers and the effluent will be very, very well treated before it hits the lake.’’ The impact of com- mercial and residential development on the water quality of Lakelse Lake has been the sub- ject of numerous studies over the past two decades. Most of these studies were consulted in the compiling of the Greater Terrace Official Community Plan, a massive document con- taining analyses and recommendations re- garding land use and developments in the rural areas surrounding Terrace. The Communi- ty Plan was authored for the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine by Dr. Norma Kerby, a Terrace land management con- sultant. The Plan expresses concerns over substan- dard septic tanks in residential lots around continued on page 18 ») The Stork’s | Delivery ook Stephen and Helena James are proud to announce the birth of thelr daughter, Melissa Anne, March 12, 1986 at 9 a.m., weighing 7 Ibs. 9 ozs.
