GARAGE SALE season, like everything else, is rapidly drawing
toa close. Late season sales, however, did include this rather
historic one held by Julia Little. Up for grabs at the old
machine shop on Little Street were the parts and machinery
used for years by her late husband and city pioneer, Gordon
Little.

the University of Northern, B.C,

if the institution ‘is to be
anything other than a university

That was the “warning ‘Hans

new university's interim govern-
ing board — issued last week
while. speaking to. School
District 88 trustees, —

“I's my “Assessment that
politically there is will and there
is committment: — that this
university is going to be a
regional institution, not just a
Prince George institution,”’ he
said, ‘But the time will come
very soon when we will have to
set out our goals and address in
which manner and how we want
to see the ‘shape and the
presence of the university in our
Tespective communities,”

He said people in the nar-
thwest tend to wonder if a
Prince George’ university with
only token representation in
outer regions would be an im-
provement over the existing
situation. ‘It’s still a seven-and-
a-half hour car ride from here,"
he said. ‘‘What purpose and
what benefit would it be? We
want more than just another

— Smelter years away

TERRACE — A company that *

smelting in the province says
Kitimat remains its choice for a
proposed $470 million plant but
cautions construction is several
years away yet,

PRM Resources director Tex
Enemark said it would be six to
eight months before the com-
pany entered the permitting
stage required under the major
projects approvals process. On-
ly when that review process had
been completed — it will likely
take two years — could: con-
struction begin. Construction

per cent of sulphur produced by
the smelting process to be recap-

With the slag left after
smelting being barged to Van-
couver where it would be used
in another industrial process,
Enemark said the only emission
from the smelter would be “a
very, very small amount of
sulphur dioxide,” -

He said Kitimat had been
selected because it was on-tide

land and offered the necessary

nions on and ask questions
about the project.

Conceding the image of cop-
per processing plants was not an
environmentally pleasant one,
Enemark emphasized there had *
been significant technological
advances since the 1930s, the
last time such smelters operated

inB.c.

These advances would be in-
corporated into the Kitimat
plant including a clésed-loop
water system which eliminated
discharges into surrounding
water bodies and ‘'proven

infrastructure including power
supply. Another factor was the
presence of the Ocelot methanol
plant. ‘“There are some things
we and Ocelot might be able to
do together,”’ he explained.
Noting the copper contained
in concentrates (ore) extracted
from 8.C. mines currently

amounted to 370,000 tonnes,

company president Roger

Taylor said it was projected the

Kitimat smelter would have an
annual capacity of 150,000 ton-
nes.

“We want to get away to be north of here

from the idea of exporting the
metal in its raw state of concen-
trates,’’ he explained, adding,
**It opens the door to all sorts of:

He said annual copper pro-.
duction now stood at eight

million tonnes but, with con- -

sumption increasing at the rate
of one to two per cent each
year, a world-wide shortage of
smelting capacity was forecast
by the end of the decade. He an-

Taylor said the project ‘Would.

employ 1,000 at the peak of
construction and create 350 per-

payroll of more than $20
million.

While that would obviously
benefit Kitimat, Enemark sug-
gested Terrace could also profit
in its role as the area’s major
retail centre and a continuation
of the established pattern of
people commuting between the
two communities.

The smelter would also ac-'
celerate development of new

in Prince George. We want a
real regional ‘presence.”” __
‘Wagner said. the university
will ‘sink or swim'’ depending
on the success. of its branch
campuses in the outer. regions,
and therefore it has a vested in-
terest in making sure there is
more than just token represen-
tation outside Prince George.

To ensure that, he said, nor-
thwesterners must get involved
in the process, ‘One way or
another, we'll have to put our
thinking caps on and organize
ourselves as communities to
make sure that our opinions are
counted in the shaping of the
regional part of the university,”’
Wagner said,

‘He conceded the university
will likely end up with a “‘major
presence’’ in Prince George, but
said it ‘‘will be up to us to make
sure the regional part won't be
overlooked.”
