Road crew back on

A SKEENA CELLULOSE
road crew returned to work
yesterday after an agreement
was reached with # native
group,

The company wants to build
a road into the Fiddler Creek
urea east of here so it-can cut
wood this winter, ~

Bul access was blocked fast
month when the: Gitksan Eagle
clan said the road .was entering
terrilory they claim.

Talks last week’ resulted j in
the Eagles withdrawing < any ~
threat. of further - blockade
action after it was, discovered
that the first 2.5km of the
planned, road was not within
the Eagle claim.

That Means Skeena
Cellulose can build that
section and gain access to two
cutlblocks for winter logging,
says company official Ray
Zimmerman.

“We're starting up today,”
said Zimmerman yesterday
morning. ~*‘We're slad the
situation has been resclved for
now.”

The company had planned to
ask for a court injunction to
stop the blockade had an
agreement not been worked .

“out:

Skeena Cellulose says it
needs the wood this winter to
help feed it s mill here.

Fire insurance
check advised

DON’T TAKE reduced fire insur-
ance premiums for granted,

That’s the word of caution of-
fered by Kitimat-Stikine regional
district administrator Bob Mar-
cellin to people in north Terrace,
Braun’s Island and New Remo.

Those residents are about to go
to referendum on a proposed
agreement which would sce Ter-
race’s fire department look after
administration of fire protection
for those areas and provide one
pumper fire truck. The Thornbill-
depariment would provide a
pumper/tanker and tanker,

If the referendum passes, the
owner of an $80,000 home would
have to pay extra taxes - $32. in
the first year to cover start up and
$194 for operating costs.

On the other side of the equa-
lion, however, the regional dis-
trict estimates that same
homeowner could save approxi-
mately $340 on fire insurance,

It also noted insurance un-
derwriters were prepared to pro-
vide coverage at the reduced rates

News

In Brief

UNBC’s Weller

steps down

UNBC PRESIDENT Geoffrey
Weller last week said he will
resign and retum to the class-
room.

The official opening of the new
university this year along with the
move of faculty and staff to their
permanent offices at the univer-
sity’s Prince George campus sig-
nal the end of the startup phase,
Weller said.

“Tam very proud to have been
the founding president of
UNBC,’’ Weller said. “I am
elated that the plans laid more
than four years ago have come to
such magnificent Eruition.”*

But Weller said he’s always
considered himself an academic
first and founding president sec-
ond.

Weller’s resignation is effective
June 30, 1995.

He'll stay on at UNBC to teach
political science and carry out re-
search.

Water well
] . s a
drilling begins

WORK BEGAN last week on a
well that will hopefully provide
much of the city's water require-
ments in the future.

Drilling is underway at a site at
the corner of Frank St. and Hwy
16 West. The work is being done
by a company called Field Drill-
ing Ltd.

The whole project is expected
ta cost-$1.2 million. A federal-
provincial infrastructure grant
will cover two-thirds of the cost,
leaving the city to pick up about
$400,000.

That price covers the cost of the
drilling, construction of the well
and pumphouse and conncction
of the well to the clty water sys-
tein.

Cily director of operations John
Colongard said they're hoping to
get a 3,600 US gallon per minute
capacily out of the production
well,

The well casing is going to be
24 inches diameter, shrinking to
20-inch diameter part way down.

The well is needed to bolster
the city’s present water supplics
which cannot keep up with sum-
mer demand. ‘That, in turn, has
foreed the clty to impose water
restrictions the past few summers.

iu

fo any property that is within —

eight miles of the fire hall.

However, Marcellin warned,
homeowners shouldn’t assume
their insurance company will
automatically drop premiums.

If the referendum goes through,
he advised people to check with
their carrier. ‘‘They may have to
shop around,’’ he added,

Advance polling in the
referendum takes place next
Wednesday, Nov, 23, 8 a.m. to &
p-m., in the Kitimat-Stikine
tcpional district offices located at
4545 Lazelle Ave.

The main vote is scheduled for
Saturday, Dec. 3 at Clarence
Michiel elementary school, also 8
a.m. to 8 p.m.

Still unresolved is a plan by
Skeena Cellulose to build
another 4km of road to more
logging areas.

This section of road and
logging area is within the
Eagle claim and more talks are
scheduled to reach an
agreement , says forest service
spokesman Norm Parry.

“We hope to determine the
native interest along that
section of the road permit and
look into
aspects,’’ said Parry.

‘Determining: native interest
on -undeveloped crown land is
government policy.

It stems from court decisions

larger‘ planning

job

which state that while natives

cannot block development on
land they claim, they must be
asked for their opinion on
resource and other use.

The Engle claim is part of
the larger Gitksan elaim to
territory centered on the
Hazeltons.

It has been the object of two
court cases with the Gitksan
Claiming title and rights to the
terrilory.

The Gitksan and the federal
and provincial governments
agreed this: past summer to put
any further court action on hold
in an attempt to negotiate a
settlement.
