ANOTHER LOAD OF sand gets deposited into a
Nechako Northcoast truck before it heads out onto
the roads to spread out the mixture,

Tough on sand

I1’S BEEN a tough year on the area’s road maintenance
company’s sand supply.

The constant freeze-thaw cycles of this winter have
resulted in Nechako Northcoast going through more of its
sand-salt mixture than nonmal.

“We went through 150 cubic metres of sand in one day,
but that would be an extreme day,’’ said company official
Peter Lansdowne last week.

‘When you get into that freeze-thaw, that’s when you
gct black ice and the need for lots of sand and salt,’?

The company prepares what it thinks will be cnough
mixture in advance of the winter season.

It doesn’t want to mix too much because the salt will

leach out when it rains, said Lansdowne,

He said the company can easily mix more should it run
low of its current stock,

Lansdowne described this winter as much better than last
for road clearing.

That’s because this year’s storms haven’t been constant,
giving the company time to clear the roads,

Last year was much different when there was constant .

snowfall over a three-week period.

‘It was unrelenting, there was lots of overlap with snow-
fall,”’ said Lansdowne.

Highways ministry official Jeff Saby said there have

been few complaints registered about the state: of north-

west highways.

Gun reg coming
THE NEW gun control bill bas left many gun owners
wondering when they will be required to register their
guns, when they have to get a fircarms acquisition permit.

Only certain firearms, such as handguns, now need to be
registered, Hunting rifles do not yet need to be registered.

This will change of as Jan, 1, 1988. That’s when the law
requiring all firearms to be registered goes into effect.

Henry Maphias, the chief provincial firearms officer,
says that from that date, gun owners will have five years to
register their firearms.

But this year the government will likely require anybody
who owns a firearm to have a licence,

Up till now, most people only had to apply for a firearms
acquisition certificate if they wanted to acquire a new gun.
Now all gun owners will need this type of license.

If the legislation gocs effect this ycar as expected, gun
owners will have five years as of Jan, 1, 1996, to obtain
this licence.
