Printers

move in

TOTEM PRESS operations
are moving in with Close
Up Business Services on
Greig Ave. now that both
firms are under the same
ownership.

Clase Up owner Marjor-
ie Bailie has sold her
company to Bill Parmar,
the Prince Rupert-based
owner of Exel Printing Lid.

Parmar last year bought
Totem Press fram Teleme-
dia. He also owns Pyramid
Office Supplies in Kitimat.

The Close Up building
is being renovated to
house both businesses.

Bailie will stay on to
manage Close Up and
publish focal television
guide Close Up magazine.

Totem manager Nelson
McGinlay will manage the
Totem Press operations.

The two operations
aren’t expecting any job
losses in the move, but ex-
pect to save money by
amalgamating premises.

McGinlay said the
move will add consider-
able printing capability to
Tatem’s product line.

“We'll be one of the
largest printers in the
north,” he said. “We'll be
more diversified and be
able to offer a lot more
services.”

The move reunites Bai-
lie and McGinlay under
one roof. They started
Totem Press in 1970.

Ferry cut
slammed

B.C. FERRIES” elimina:

tion of eight sailings in
early October will cut
short the flow of late sum-
mer tourists into the north-
west, says Tourism Prince
Rupert chair Steve Smith.

The discounted shoulder
season sailings are chea-
per than full summer rates
and bring a last spurt of
tourist traffic to the region.

Smith said many pas-
sengers considering Octo-
ber baokings will go else-
where and skip B.C.

The cancellations save
$200,000 for B.C. Ferries
but deprive the north coast
tourism industry of more
than $4 million, he said.

Smith said the corpora-
lion has argued people
booking the cancelled
sailings will simply rebook
for September trips. But
the schedule has been pro-
moted since last May.

“Years of cooperation
and goodwill will be tes-
sed out to sea with this
short-sighted breach of
trust and arrogant
approach,” he said.

“The north is the only
route to receive cuts to the
summer schedule.”

He said the store would have to install
eight-foot-wide landscaped buffer strips
down the length of the west and north
edges of the Safeway parking lot to meet
other requirements of the zoning bylaw.

Trawin said the city has rejected the
proposed red and white colour of the pas

ceed with its plans to turn its Lakelse
Ave. location into a drive-through.

The city in January agreed to close up
the adjacent section of Ottawa St. and _
sell it to Tim Horton’s in exchange for the
area being developed into a public square
area.

HOSPITAL CARE
IS BEING HANDED OFF

During the election, Gordon Campbell promised to protect
health care. But since then the Liberal government has
introduced legisiation that will allow health authorities to
privatize many direct services to patients.

Privatization will lead to a more fractured health care .
system and reduce access for patients. Private companies
are driven by profit and that means either cutting services
or increasing user fees. In rural and remote communities, |
patients may be forced to travel long distance to get the
tests and treatment they need.

Please urge your MLA to support public health
care and put patients ahead of profits. :
