Three planes from Terrace tried out the new Kitlmat landing strip on its opening day July 9.
The 3,000-foot long strip was plenty long enough even for the giant Bristol Freighter, and
more than adequate for the smaller 172 and 206 aircrafts. As well as belng home for the
20-member Kitimat Flying Club, the new airport could provide an alternate landing strip for.

the many charter planes operating in the Northwest.

Terrace approved as

nuclear medicine site

* An application to establish a
nuclear medicine facility in Ter-
race to serve the Northwest has
been approved by the provincial

government, but a method of

implementing the service has not
yet been determined, says Mills
Memorial Hospital adminis-
trator Norm Carelius, The ap-
plication was made earlier in the
year by. Dr. Robert Morrison,
one of four nuclear physicians
who operate Nuclear ‘Medicine
consultants i in Vancouver.

by Tod Strachan
Nuclear medicine is a

. specialized diagnostic technique --

in which the patient is injected
with a small amount of a
radioactive substance which

contains ‘‘markers”’ for specific
_ organs, Although the process

doesn’t replace the standard
x-ray, the image obtained is
similar and in some cases it will

‘define information presently

unavailable through x-rays.

Carelius says the approval is
an indication that the govern-
ment recognizes the need for this
service in the Northwest but the
method in which it is im-
plemented will determine the
cost to Northwest taxpayers.

He said the best arrangement
for Mills Memorial - Hospital
would be for the Ministry of
Health to cover the cost of
establishing the service and to do
necessary renovations to the
hospital, and then allow Dr.
Morrison’s team to supervise the

" program.

He said that if the service was
implemented in this way, Dr.
Morrison would receive a pro-
fessional fee for program super-
vision through the ministry
while the hospital would collect
outpatient fees which would

provide a “‘sizeable revenue” for |
the hospital and would cover the

costs of the program’s opera~
tion, ©

However, if the government is
unwilling to participate finan-
cially, Carelius says, there are
two remaining options but the

| local cost would be higher. In

the first option, Dr. Morrison
has agreed to invest $300,000 for
the necessary equipment, and
Mills Memorial would provide

the space and pay for renova-

tions. However, Dr. Morrison
would then collect his profes-
sional fees plus a portion of out-
patient fees, meaning that tax-

‘payers would have to cover part

of the cost of operation.
The final option, says
Carelius, would be necessary if

. the government didn’t approve
_ of the establishment of a facility

in the hospital. The service

would then have to be provided ~

by through an offsite facility, in-
creasing the cost and making use
and administration of the facili-
ty ‘“‘awkward”. Carelius says

that a firm proposal, containing
blueprints, options and costs, is
presently being prepared to send
to the ministry and an answer is
expected sometime this fall.

Carelius says that the propos-
ed facility will be similar to one —
that has already been established
in Trail, where the image is
transmitted to the offices of
Nuclear Medicine Consultants
by.slow-scan television. It is then
interpreted by the specialists and
local physicians are advised of
the diagnosis the same day.

He says that the facility will

employ three additional
employees at Mills Memorial:
two nuclear medicine techni-
cians and one clerk/aide.
