If the offer is accepted, the move could be costly for both the Northwest and the Prince George firms. The first license has been of- fered to Takla Track and Tim- ber Ltd. The company is a con- sortium formed specifically to bid on the Sustut, and consists of five forest companies in Prince George, one in Prince. George and Strathnaver, anoth- er in Vanderhoof and a com- pany formed by native Indian — bands near Fort St. James. The second license has been offered to Prince George Wood Preserv- ing Ltd. and Rustad Bros., who fil joint bid. iled a joint bid 12. te was Jown'n diny jast x Thureday a as MOGA (Most Outrageous Group Activity) Madness struck Caledonia Senior Secondary School students. For story and more pictures, see page According to Cheston, if they accept each licensee will be given a 20-year forest license with an allowable annual cut of 200,000 cubic meters each. However, transportation could be a problem. It is ex- pected that the licensees will rebuild, operate and maintain about 250 kilometers of the presently unused B.C. Rail Dease Lake extension line from Fort St. John to the northwest boundary of the Sustut area. The initial cost for repairs and rolling stock has been estimated at $40 million. And a road into the area may cost even more — as much as‘$1 million per mile in continued on page 3 The B.C.

Toby Nunn Riverboat Days picks up steam The 1988 Riverboat Days nicely, committee president Monday night. She attributes the progress in part to a generous donation made by the Terrace Centennial Lions which will go a long way towards publicizing the event. Cox said a major change for this year’s event is a compact schedule. She says that activities will be scheduled during a five- day period rather than 10 so that more will be happening on the weekend and there won’t be the usual ‘‘stack time’? during the week. The same number of events will take place however. Cox says Riverboat Days will begin on Thursday, July 28 and continue until Monday, Aug. 1. She added that nothing has been scheduled for Thursday so far, but there are still several groups such as the Kinsmen who are organizing events and she’s con- complete. = Scheduled to begin on n Friday, July 29, are two four-day events: Native Soccer Tournament’’ at Skeena field and the Men's Slo Pitch Club’s invitational tourna- ment at Riverside Park. Also on Friday, the Kinnettes will be -holding a Kiddies Karnival in George Little Memorial Park. Saturday, July 30, will begin with the Downtown Lions pan- cake breakfast, followed at 11 a.m. by the Legion parade. The Centennial Lions will then hold Memorial Park and the Ker- mode Friendship Centre — will host an Arts and Crafts Fair at ed in the evening by a demon- stration of native dancing. | On Sunday, July 31, the Museum Society will be hosting ‘*Music in the Park”’ from 1 to 4 p.m. Featured in this event will be the Terrace Community Band as well as several other groups. Riverboat Days will end on Monday, Aug. 1, with the run- ning of the Centennial Lions’ “Cardboard Boat Race’’ and “Bathtub Race’? at Furlong Bay, as well as the final rounds of the All Native Soccer Tourna- ment and the closing innings of the Slo Pitch Tournament. It’s beginning to look like a busy five days, but Cox says there’s room for more. She says that entry forms for both the Legion parade and other River- boat Days events are available at the Chamber of Commerce of- fice on Highway 16.
