The Terrace Standard, Wednesday -News In Brief Internist search narrows HEALTH CARE officials are narrowing down their search to fill two vacant internal medicine speci- alty positions here. Cholly Boland, the Northern Health Authority of- ficial in charge of medical services in Terrace and Kitimat, said seven applications have been re- ceived. “Two of them are very strong,” said Bo- land of the applications in hand. - The area has traditionally had two internal medi- cine specialists, but that number dropped to one when Dr. Michael Kenyon moved-to Nanaimo in 2001, leaving Dr. Barrie Phillips as the sole spe- cialist, A search for a replacement has been on-going . since then and health authorities decided this year to recruit a third specialist. While there’s more than enough work for two in- ternists but not enough for three the plan is to find a third one who also has an interest in kidney ail- ments. That’s based on the opening next year of a six-station hemo dialysis unit at Mills Memorial Hospital. Opposing Kyoto TERRACE’s business community is solidly against Canada’s implementation of the Kyoto Accord to slow the trend of global warming. _ The Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce sai? 135 respondents to a survey of its members op .2 d Kyoto. Over 90 per cent of the people who returned our survey said they did not want to see the accord ra- tified this year and they wanted to see a made-in- Canada solution,” chamber president Sheila Love said. She said local businesses fear increased costs and uncertainty as a result of measures to combat climate change. , And the U.S. refusal to implement Kyoto threa- tens to create a huge cross-border cost disparity. “That was the big thing,” Love said. “We’re al- ready al a trade disadvantage with the States. And the high enerpy costs are another thing we can’t afford.” The chamber has sent a letter outlining its concerns to the prime minister. Councillor chosen STEW CHRISTENSEN, one of Terrace’s two new city councillors, will join mayor Jack Talstra as the city’s representatives to the Kitimal-Stikine re- gional district. Christensen and Talstra were selected Terrace directors on the regional district board through a vote of council members Dec. 2. Councillor Rich McDaniel, who for years had been one of the two Terrace directors, was also no- tminated but did not get enough votes, Christensen has dealt extensively with some re- gional district issues in the past in his role as chair of the region’s solid waste management commil- tee. All council members were also declared alter- hates,.in.the,.event,-Talstra or Christensen, can’t make*a meeting. McDaniel, ‘Lynne Christiansen and Marylin Davies are primary alternates.
