AIO- The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, September 18, 2002 TERRACE STANDARD Out & About AARON DUNBAR of Terry's Drywall works on a new chiropractic office opening in the Lazelle Mini Mall. Businesses on the move Several local businesses are opening, closing or changing their operations. Groundworks Coffee has closed and bailiffs have seized the coffee shop's assets from owner Roger Chi- coine for non-payment of nearly $20,000 rent, according to a notice on the door. Owners of Principal Construction, which owns the La- zelle Mini Mall, say they expect to lease the space to new operators, anu Opening up in the same complex is a chiropractor’s clinic. Davis Lindsay grew up in Terrace and had a home-based office here prior to moving to Victoria in 2001. He’s now returned and renovations are in progress for the new clinic, to be named North Coast Family Chiropractic. “We miss Terrace, we love the community spirit here, and it’s a great place to raise a family,” Lindsay said. He said he combines elements of physiotherapy with chiropractic work, particularly in his sports medicine work, Davis said his patients range from babies to se- niors. Ee Ikon Office Solutions moved Sept. 1 to new space on the ground floor of the Almarlin building on Eby St., va- cating its Lakelse storefront. “We've gotten out of the retail sector,” explains manager Jeff Brandenbarg. “We're now strictly commer- cial copiers and fax machines.” He said Ikon has also sold the office furniture side of its business off to local businessman Dave Materi. He has opened Pro Line Office Furniture in a storefront in Thornhill. a Two local outdoors stores are changing their ap- proach. Azad Adventures, which has operated alternately as a, a home-based biisiness and a seasonal’ storefront, has opened a permanent location facing Lazelle Ave. on the ground floor of the Tillicum Twin Theatres building. It stocks climbing, mountain sports equipment and whitewater kayaks. Azad co-owner Suki Spencer says they’re also build- , ing an indoor climbing cave for rock climbing And the Valhalla Pure Outfitters outlet here has drap- ped the franchise and changed its name to Lost Boy Outfitters. It’s still owned and operated by Louis Bibaud. He says the change will allow him more flexibility in product lines and save franchise fees. Skeena Cel boss gone THE NEW president of Skeena Cellulose has made a quick exit from the company. John Lukosevicius is described as no longer working for SCI, however officials are not elaborating on the si- tuation. He was to share key management roles with Skeena’s CEO and chairman, Dan Veniez. “It?s between John and Dan,” company rep Scott Randolph said of Lukosevicius’ departure. Gov't ready to sell SCI subsidiary THE PROVINCE is fina- lizing a deal to sell off Buffalo Head Forest pro- ducts, officials say. The former Skeena Cel- lulose subsidiary was left in Victoria’s hands when NWBC Timber and Pulp said it didn’t want Buffalo Head to be part of its pur- chase of SCI. “The purchase agree- ment is presently being fi- nalized,” -said enterprise ministry spokesman Maur- een Murphy. But the deal may be coming over the objections of some Stewart loggers. They say the chosen buyer is Terrace firm Tim- ber Baron Contracting Ltd. And Stewart contractor Garry Belcher says the Timber Baron offer wouldn’t create as many jobs in the area as a rival bid by Stewart Forest Pro- ducts Ltd. “It never was advertised or anything like that,” Belcher said. “They should retender it and do it right.” Murphy said the mini- stry believes the sale pro- cess was open, fair and well organized. “I think the process was quite well established,” she said, An Aug. 30 deadline for a deal was extended one month by the province. That's the date Buffalo Head’s 315,000 cubic metre a year forest licence was to revert back to the Crown. The forests ministry had previously given three months notice of intention to cancel the licence for non-payment of its annual tent of $0.25 per cubic metre or $80,000 per year. Tenures forester Steve Osborn says the ministry has agreed to a one month extension to the end of September to allow time to complete the sale, at the request of the ministry of competition, science and enterprise. Buffalo Head’s timber is considered marginal. It's also weighed down by hefty silviculture obli- gations — the company is required to spend about $6.3 million over the next 10 years on replanting, brushing and other activi- ties. Forests ministry offi- cials said about $900,000 worth of that work was to get started this year. Murphy said any buyer must take on the fuil re- planting obligation, adding Victoria won’t agree ta anything that would amount to a business sub- sidy aiding new owners. Timber Baron could not be reached for comment. Torstar buys into newspaper company BLACK PRESS Lid., the Terrace Standard’s parent company, is taking on a minority partner. Torstar Corp., the com- pany that owns the Toron- to Star newspaper, will pay $20 million to buy a nearly 20 per cent stake in Black Press, the two companies said last week. “Torstar is a steady, long-term participant in the industry, run by know- legeable, passionate news- paper people with strong principles,” said David Black, owner of Black Press. “One couldn't hope for better investors and partners.” Black said the infusion Did you know, in the last 13 years, the Children’s Miracle Network RY tbe, v¢ Telethon has raised nearly $54 million to fund essential equipment, af = research and special programs for B.C.’s Children's Hospital? idren's Hospital www. kidstelethon.cam 1-888-443-3033 #04717 * Phane.Orde » SEPTEMBE 19-2) i * BUTTERICK ATTERNS All instore stock D,:)eet Phone Orders Welcome | 7 i 635-5315 | positions his company for further acquisitions of weekly and small daily newspapers.
