35 clients have-started businesses,
most of them home-based and
involving art or craft products,
under the self employment incen-
tive program. The program pro-
vides $200 per week in income for
a year during the start-up period
for the client’s new business.
Clients receive preparation and
managerial advise from Com-
munity Futures staff on their busi-
ness ideas.

The program received a commit-
ment of $748,800 from the federal
government to cover three years.
Stowell said that. works out to an

average of five successful business -

starts per month, which is about
the number of applications they’re

Terrace Review — Wednesday, October 24, 1990 B9

- Self am ploym ent program gets funding

man who has made a business out
of reconditioning logging chains.
He explained that wom or
damaged chains previously had to
be sent to Vancouver for recondi-

tioning, making the process more

expensive than buying new ones.
As a result hundreds of pounds of
potentially useful chains were
being thrown out by local logging
companies, The man, who has
worked in the woods industry has
machining and metalworking skills,
is now able io recover the chains,
making a living out of the work
and offering a far less expensive:
product to local industry.

The 16-37 Community Futures
program, located in the Training
and Enterprise Centre by the
Government Agent office on Eby
St., was approved for Terrace in
1986. The self employment incen-
tive option is one of several pro-
grams the agency delivers to help
people who are out of work get
started again.

Westar to |
halt logging

Westar Timber will shut
down its logging operations
in the Hazelton area for at
least four weeks starting ©
Friday. Reg Thurlborn at
Westar’s Cammaby sawmill in
Hazelton said last week that
it is a normal seasonal
stoppage due to wet weather
and contractors have known it
was coming for several
months.

Whether logging resumes
after four weeks remains to
be seen, Thurlborn said. The
decision will depend on
conditions and the shutdown
may be extended this year.

Westar recently announced
a halt to all its logging
operations in southeastern
B.C. due to high costs and
low selling prices for lumber.
When asked about
comparable conditions for the
Northwest operation,
Thurfborn replied, "Poor...

| dismal... pick your word."
