“third year’ UNBC holding off on med students coming to Terrace "A ‘PLAN ‘to base a’ small — group of third year medical | students here next fall has been delayed for a year, says the person in charge of the University of Northern Brit- :- ish Columbia’s Northern © Medical program? " - Instead, two students will » spend a year in the northeast as a pilot project to fully flesh out how students will spend their third year working and . - ledrning under the guidance of a practising physician, ‘says Dr. David Snadden. : “We are part of UBC’s [medical program] and what » we want to do must be ne- -gotiated and we want to get all our ducks in a row,” he added. The overall plan is that students. will spend a year in smaller com- ” munities and hospitals such -as' Terrace, and learning every facet of medicine. : It’s different from : a tra- ditional _model involving large hospitals in large cit- ies, which features students spending eight week rota-. tions in emergency medi- cine, operating rooms and the'like. . “We know that in other _ countries where this hap- Cancer | ‘om clinic . . ‘THE NORTH can support its Cn ° ‘own. radiation therapy can-— , cer treatment*—~ programs . would need to be expanded — ‘and improved, -the. authority, ‘says in a cancer care update | Feleased last week. - Also needed is a plan to ‘iain the people needed to avork at the radiation thera- ‘py centre and related facili- Parks & Feil Foreman ities as well as the money to SERVICE Above Self .

Snadden said the stu= ' dents who might have come - to Terrace next year will instead be based at Prince George Regional Hospital in a more traditional learning ‘ environment. But he, added that a long- | standing practice of having UBC medical students spend a month over the summer in . communities such as. Ter- race will continue. When the third year | pro- gram is fully developed, Snadden expects four stu- dents to come to Terrace. © “That’s. a good number for a critical mass for the students,” he said. ing students who will be do- important because if they ‘will. be working together, ‘they may as well learn to- gether as well.” The medical students at UNBC in Prince George are studying in.a state-of-the art facility opened this year.

Still short week -at lumber mill — THE TERRACE Lumber Company continues to oper- ‘ate on a shortened work week as it waits for more large wood to enter its yard. “We're doing the three days a week and that’ S going to continue until the wood supply i improves,’ manager Terry Bennett. The mill is now in its fourth week of running the ab- ’ breviated week. “We'd rather be working four or five days a week but we.don’t have the log inventory to.do it,” Bennett says. The company has an ample supply of what’s called gang sized wood — timber with tops 15 inches or smail- er. But that type of wood is sold primarily to the’U.S. market, a market which is no longer profitable, company officials say. . They are instead trying to market their wood to the | Asian market, but that requires standard sized wood ' — wood which has tops: larger than 15 inches. The company does have wood coming in from Kalum Ventures, which is logging in the Poupard Creek area ‘north Terrace. That area does have some of the larger . profile wood the ‘company requires. ” says mill BELIEVING | IN THE CHILDREN YOU LOVE, Unconditional Commitment with Pat O'Brien: from New York. : Pat O’ Brien i is the.
