ELECTION FEATURE
Nattress is interested
in community activities

By ED YUDIN
Herald Staff Writer

Terrace district council
has been an exclusive men's
club the last few years, but
newcomer Molly Nattress is
afforded a good chance of
breaking down that bastion,

During the campaign,
Nattress has token firm
Blands on stich issues as
boundary extension and
recreation. However, as is
the case .
Politicians, she fas been &

fence-sitter on some topics, -

for example amalgamation.

“We have lo accept
Thornhill as being there,”
Nattress said. “I think it is
inevitable it will some day be
one community but not at the
expense of Terrace tax-
payers.”

_ “Tthink the whole question

should be left until
something is done and all the
findings of the

amalgamation committee
are presented to the public,”

she said, adding, ‘I think the,

communities of Terrace and
Thornhill should be given the
opportunity to decide,”
Nattress has been here
since 1960 along with her
husband, Nick, who is em-
ployed by Price-Skeena
Forest Products. The couple
have three children,
Patriela, Bill and John.
The candidate was born
and educated in England, at

first venturing, into the .
hairdressing business. For d |

ten-year period during the

fifties, Nettress and her

husband operated an English
b.

pub.
After emigrating to
Terrace in 1960, she was
employed as the manager of
the ‘five to one dollar store’
and later worked fer the
Terrace Co-op. In recent
‘years, Nattress who is in her
mid-fifties, has been in-
volved with the Terrace
Little Theatre. She has
served as chairman of the
Advisory Recreation
Commission ‘during which
time she attended council
meetings reguiarly and says
she. has abasic un-
derstanding of the ways of
municipal government.
Nattress has indicated a
key interest in recreation,
and recently has expressed
her misgivings over the 2%4-
month shutdown of the
swimming pool, She would
also like tosee greater utility
of the arena banquet room.

with most.

Her stand on boundary
extension is firm. She would
like to see it come about. “I
think we should do
something about the Cancel
Reload base on Highway 16
by immediately looking at
the extension of boun-
daries,” she said in sup-
porting a move to Increase
the municipality's tax base.
In general, she favora ex-
tengion east and west, with

northward extension to be
studied more closely,

Despite the many issues
yet to be decided, Nattress is
enthused about the
possibility of serving on
council,

“I think generally Terrace
is on the upgrade, we doing
very well compared to the
rest,.and I'd like to work to
bee we continue that way,"
she concluded.

; chalrman of last night's open

meeting to discuss the new

2 Thornhill Community Plan,

was referring to the meagre

Primary School. !

The meeting was called to
give the public their first
comprehensive look at the
new community plan, which

area.
Bach of the members of

the committee - read
prepared statements on

4 different aspects of the plan,

and there waa a brief
discussion period afterward.
There was some

~ discussion, mostly centering

on the orde" of the stages of
development and on the
proposed bus service for the
area. ‘

Les Watmough, Thornhill
representative for ithe
regional district, started the
meeting with a brief history
of the area; From there,
other commission members
read statements dealing with
residential, commercial and
industrial, community and
institutional, servicing and
utility development.

The biggest controversy
dealt with the issue of bus
service in the area, how
much it would cost and who
would pay for-it. Watmough
and Godden tried to steer the
questionera away from the
topic, as there is’a public
meeting scheduled to: deal
with bug service specifically
next Wednesday, but the
audience persisted for ten
minutes or so.

No decisions were reached
on the topic, due to next
week's meeting.

The other contentious
issue was the order in which,
the proposed development
will take place. Several
questioners wanted to know

Uranium tailing
is said danger

VANCOUVER (CP) — The
B.C, Medical Association has
warned against the health
hazards of storing uranium
mine tailings in two briefs
prepared for the royal
commission of inquiry into
uranium mining.

The commission also
heard in testimony Tuesday
that it is technically im-
possible to totally stop
seepage from a mine tailings
pond,

Discussion of the medical
association's briefs will not
take place until February
but they were released
Tuesday.

Dr. Robert Woollard,
chairman of the BCMA’s
environmental health
committee, said in his brief
that the BCMA is unam-
biguous in stating “that all of
the problems relating to
mine-mill waste
management and high-level
reactor waste management
must be resolved before
uranium mining is in-
troduced to this province,”

He wrote that the history
of uranium mining in
Canada and his assessment
of reactor waste
Management technology
“does not give us any
assirance that mining
should be allowed to proceed
coincident with the attempts
at resolving the many
problems in these areas,”

Dr. Woollard practices in’

Clearwater near the Birch
Island uranium  con-
eentration which Con-
solidated Rexspar Minerals
and Chemicals Ltd. has been
exploring for possible mine
development,

He stated that a failure of
adequate waste
management “will have
significant health effects
(for example, cancer),’”*
Emphasizing the need for

preventive measures, the

doctor said these should
include specific studies for
each uranium site because
“some of the suggestions
made by corporate rep-
resentatives do not represent
a high level of sophistication
or long term concern,”

Dr. Rennie Whitehead, a
physicist employed by an Ot-
tawa_ scientific consulting
firm, prepared a brief oa
nuclear waste disposal for
the association.

He wrote that current
technology for the con-
finement of mine and mill
tallings results in “some
contamination of the en-
vironment and some
marginal risks to man,
mainly through the
radicactive contamination of
air and water in the vicinity
of tailings,"

Dr, Whitehead said that
there has been some
research on permanent
disposal methods for nuclear
wastes but “na permanent
disposal method has yet been
adopted nor has one disposal
site been selected."

The physicist concluded
that mine and mill tailings
are a source of long-term
contamination of the en-
vironment,

“Through the leaching of
acids, heavy metals and
radium by groundwater,
they can add to the hazards
to human health,” he wrote,

He said that “in the long
run dams may crumble,
liners deteriorate and it will
be difficult to maintain any
continuous pumping and
treatment process once a
mine site is abandoned,”

The first witness at
Tuesday's hearings on waste
disposal was Earle J, Kiohn
of the Vancouver firm of
Klohn Leonoff Consultants
Ltd. :
He said in his paper that
dry land storage Is planned
for two propased uranium
mines in B.C. rather than
putting the tailings inte
small lakes or depressions as
in other parts of Canada.
