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

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
