A2 - the Terrace Standard, Wednesday, July 22, 1998 Man hospitalized after attack. TERRACE R.C.M.P. arrested and charged a man with assault causing bodily harm late Saturday, after a brutal attack. Heber Grose, 44, is charged with attacking a Terrace man at a home in south Terrace. Although no weapons were used in the attack, the man sustained injuries to his head, neck and rib cage and was taken to Mills Memorial Hospital for nonlife-threaten- ing injuries. Cyclist injured A CYCLIST was injured Friday in an accident between a cyclist and a motor vehicle. The 18-year-old cyclist was riding on the sidewalk in the 4700 block of Lakelse Avenue when he was struck by a vehicle. He was not wearing a helmet and the bicycle did not have any breaks. The 17-year old driver of the vehicle was not injured. Mushroom export plant proposed A PINE MUSHROOM exporter is looking for provin- cial government assistance to start a processing plant in the Nass Valley. Tsunami Mushroom Co. president Stephen Mills says the plant would create up to 20 jobs in the Nass. It would process and specially package the mushrooms for export to Japan and fly them out via Terrace and Alaska. By processing directly in the Nass, Mills hopes to trim the amount of time required to get the $40 million a year crop to market. “By packaging near to the source, Tsunami will capture a larger share of the retail value of the harvest,” his proposal States. “Opening up more direct shipping routes will carry B.C. mushrooms to overseas markets more quickly thereby preserving quality and fetching higher prices.” Mills said he has a deal to buy a S6-acre property between Aiyansh and Nass Camp where the plant would be located, He says the $450,000 project has lined up $215,000 worth of backing from the Business Development Corporation. And he’s hoping to get a provincial government loan to finance the remaining amount required for startup. Mills said he’s hoping to work closely with northwest native groups, who could develop their own labels for export to Japan. Gillnetters waiting UNEMPLOYED GILLNETTERS are waiting. Waiting for the federal job-replacement programs to be, approved by cabinet, . ,, But the federal government, hagn’t, approved any, new programs, since announcing Skeeng closures last June, Ip, fact, it doesn’t expect to announce "job- replacement proce Hures until almost the end of summer. “We're hoping the programs wili be approved by mid- August, Shirley Kimery of Human Resources Development (HRDC) said Friday. In the meantime, the HRDC will assist unemployed fishermen who want to leave the industry. At HRDC fishing industry people apply for a number of job placement pro- grams, restoration projects and workplace-based training programs HRDC operates. Last year, the program initiated 54 programs for 440 unemployed fishers. This year, two new programs involving dog fish proc- essing plants in Prince Rupert were given a total of $426,347. The money went to two companies, Omega Packaging and a Lax Kw'Alaams plant, which together employed 175 people. HRODC is classified as an adjustment service — it con- centrates moving people out of the fishing industry. Kimery said that's necessary because the industry is changing so fast that it's like comparing phone service in the 50s to the 90s digital communication industry. Why Food Supplements It's hard to believe that some people still resist taking food sup- plaments like vitamins, minerals, and herbs. “l always eat balanced meals." they say, or “Why bothar? | faal fine.” Thay scoff at the con- cept of praventive nutriion, “Whal- me worry?” This phrase may wal! become an appropriate epitaph. Here are atew reasons why: The soil our food crops grow in is no longer pure. It's bean overworked and overdeveloped. It's been polluted by chemical fer- tilizers, insecticides, herbicides, and wastes. The produce we buy al the local market has been harvested green and ripened wilh gasas. This immature produce Is then stored and shipped losing it's freshnass, it nutritional value, evan it's natural colour. Most of the foods we eat are dead and processed. The nutri- pnts processed out ara replaced with chemicals, Animals have been force-fed and injected wilh artificial hormones and other sub- stancas lo make them fatter, The processed foods we buy ara usually ovarcooked..Their ‘= vitamins ere dumped cut with the cooking water.

The rate of logging in the Nisga’a controlled territory over the next decade was also an issue to the end. The treaty sets a starting annual cut of 165,000 cubic metres of timber. Logging stays at that level for five years, before drop- ping to 135,000 cubic metres in years 6 to 8 and then to 130,000 cubic metres in year 9. Existing licencees Skeena Cellulose and Simgan start with almost all of that tim- ber, but their share declines to 75 per cent by the five- year mark as increasing amounts of timber are allo- caled to the Nisga’a. The Nisga’a core lands, set out in the agreement-in-prin- ciple, become strictly fee- simple lands under the treaty, meaning they can be sold or used as collateral. And wildlife hunting allo- cations for Nisga’a and non- Nisga’a hunters are now complete. The agreement in principle spelled out how the moose hunt would be divvied up. The treaty now does the same for grizzly bears and mountain goat. A fish chapter also guaran- tees the Nisga’a a minimum five per cent portion of summer-run steelhead in the Nass — something negotia- tors say is in place to recog- nize there’s some degree of bycatch for most types of fisheries the Nisge’ a might . embark on. we eet bie Col oe he) Shots fired: REPORTS OF three shots being fired Friday in the Kalum Gardens Trailer Park proved a case of resi- dents with firecrackers.
