Al4- The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, August 17,2005

" By SARAH A; ‘ZIMMERMAN

. THE recent: completion of the. sale of the
Poirier log sorting yard in Terrace’ to ‘Coast
Tsimshian Resources means the City of Ter-
_, Face will be getting a hefty chunk of. money
_ to cover the back taxes owing on that prop-~
erty from the former New Skeena Forest:

Products..  ° a
.. It marks: the first tax money collected by
the city on the property in 2001. a

' That’s when Skeena Cellulose went into
bankruptcy. New Skeena Forest Products

then bought Skeena Cellulose and made
" arrangements‘ to pay left

to get money

at last from taxes |
owed by company

‘Skeena Cellulose’ s sawmill in Terrace and
for its pulp mill in Prince Rupert.

“Now that we’ve got all this money. - |

we’ve got the money from Maynard’s and
ithe money on the sale of the TFL we’re or-

~ ganizing a court report to distribute it,” says:

“Prentice:

- “Some of that will go to the city of Ter-

race for property taxes.” ‘
Along with TFL1 and the Poirier yard,
Coast Tsimshian also completed i its purchase

’ of core lands other.than the Poirier yard for.

a cost of $160,000 and also paid $30,000 for
-- other “fixed assets”.

—: And while the com-

~ went bankrupt last year. - “We've . got: “money | pany has been given
"should. webs s3uues9, from Maynard's and the pt Pree as
- from the sale of the Poirier ‘ Money on the sale of the Farm Licence, the’ sale
Hemming fom the sae ot TEL we're organizing @ yr sing approval

it”. - Fany Prentice ‘try’ for the receiver .to

Larry Prentice, the re-.. ——

“ceiver in charge of-selling -~ a
. Off the assets of new Skeena Forest Products,
"says Terrace should be getting a cheque for...
. just over by the end of this month.

The: Poirier yard is the large: piece of

_].. Property bounded by the CN rail line, Frank
- Ste and Keith Ave. in the area of the com-
bined B.C.. Hydro/B. C. Forest Service build-
“ing and compound.

It served as a supplemental log holding

~ and sorting yard to the main.one tied to the -

former Skeena Cellulose mill ‘which is now

"_ owned by the Terrace Lumber Company. .
The return of the money also stems from ©
~ the completion of the sale of Tree-Farm Li-
' cence One (TFL1) to the Lax Kw’ alaams’

Coast Tsimshian Resources. -

TFL 1 was the main source of wood for

ce “Says Prentice...
He hopes t that approval will also come by

in Prince Rupert by the Chinese government

owned China Paper Group. A subsidiary of ©

that company, Sun Wave Forest Products id
‘expected to take place in September.
An August 11 closing date was not'met

because. many conditions on the sale of the -

_pioperty and its ‘assets require the involve-

ment of the Province of British Columbia, .

Prentice says. .

Sun Wave and the receiver are 1 negotiat-

ing a new closing date which should happen

by the end of the September, after the Pro- t

vincial cabinet i is back i in session.
