” Nisga’at to vote” TERRACE AND area Nisga’a have their first chance Friday to accept or reject the treaty initialed with the fed- eral and provincial governments in an advance poll. It takes place at the Nisga’a Tribal Council’s local office in the Anglican church building at 4506 Lakelse Ave. between Sa.m.and 8pm... A‘ yes” vate of 50 per cent plus o one of all eligible Nisga’a voters is required for the treaty to be ratified. Every eligible voter whe does not vote will be counted as a vote against the treaty. Full-fledged voting takes place Nov. 6 and Nov. 7 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. at the Nisga’a Tribal Council office. Advance and regular voting is taking place in eight cities and villages across the province. Pub vote wanted AN OPPONENT of a proposed neighbourhood pub on Hwy 16 West says he’s going to try to force a local referen- dum on the issue. Frango diMambro, operations manager for the Kalum Motel on Hwy 16 West, says he has appealed to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch to require a vote by local neighbours on the application for a liquor licence for a pub that would be built adjacent to the nearby Evergreen Inn. City council held a public hearing on Evergreen Inn owner Sulakhan Hundial’s application and based on sub- missions at that hearing, it decided a majonity of residents were in favour of Hundial’s pub plan. The branch normally approves liquor licences if city council doesn’t oppose it. DiMambro says council could not be sure of local wishes because the most important issue for neighbours - whether access to the pub comes off of Hwy |6 or off Earle St. - hasn’t been resolved with the highways ministry. DiMambro is opposed to the pub, saying it'll bring more noise, more traffic and patron behavioural problems to the area. He’s also considering applying for a licence so the Kalum Motel can open a small lounge and offer room liq- uor service to counter competition from the pub. If ordered, a referendum would require approval of 65 per cent of residents within one mile of the proposed pub, diMambro said, The Zalm comes north He’s-baaack, this time as Reform BC president. . Bill Vander Zalm is coming to Smithers on Nov. 4 as part of a swing through northern B.C. - He'll be in Houston earlier in the day for a no-host luncheon and will speak Nov. 3 in Burns Lake. The former Social Credit premier has made similar appearances in other regions of the province. Accident claims four . NEW HAZELTON RCMP believe alcohol may have been New Hazelton residents, The accident occurred about 13km west of Hazelton on Hwy 16 at 7:30 p.m. when a westbound pickup crossed the centre line and hit two eastbound travelling cars. The three occupants of the truck, Raymond Frederick Pierre, 27, Richard Barry Morrison, 42, and Gary Mowatt, died at impact. The driver of the first car, Bernard Roy Derrick, 51, was also killed on impact and a female passenger was trans- ported to hospital with serious injuries. The oceupants of the third car were not seriously injured. involved in an Oct. 24 head on collision that killed four ; Strike rejected | UNIONIZED WORKERS at Kitimat’s Eurocan pulp mill turned back a strike, by a narrow 58 per cent margin, Oct. 22 in voting to accept the company's iast position on several local issues. Acceptance means the elimination of a 1976 letter between the company and the Communication Energy and Paperworkers union that guaranteed the company would maintain eight dedi- cated first aid position, and a phasing out of those positions. Union local president Bill Whitty said those attendants will be offered severance if they choose to leave the company at any time during the agreement. There is no raise in the first year of the deal, which is retroac- tive to 1997, then a two per-cent hike in each of the remaining five years, It will raise the base wage from $19.85 to $21.90 per hour by the end of the agreement. The union bargaining committee-had recommended rejecting the company’s package because five local issues remained unre- solved at the time talks broke off Oct. 10. Whitty said the executive is disappointed with the result as the final position comes down ta jab losses. He conceded the pressure of crises in the forest industry around the province influenced the vote, pointing to the recent closure of the Gold River pulp mill in Gold River. The union local also earned six new apprenticeships in the bar- gaining unit and a $20,000 payment to it in recognition of its giv- ing up the 1976 letter. ; Whitty said it is hard to get across the executive's position, that Eurocan's parent company West Fraser is in much better finan- cial shape than a lot of the ather companies. the clock is ticking...
