Dear Sir:

Tam alarmed over what
Tam hearing regarding the
sale of SCE to. Mercer In-
ternational from Switzer-
land. ;

“It is being suggested
that this potential buyer
wants some environmental
concessions before it is
willing to sign on the dat-
ted line.

_ With. the. provincial
government in a straight
jacket, the potential buyer
of SCI knows that they are
between a-rock. and a hard
place. As a result it would
appear thal unseemly and
unacceptable concessions
-ave being demanded.

‘It is neither right or in
the best interests of British
Columbians for any envir-
onmental concessions: to
be granted, [t has: taken
years, after much environ-
mental abuse and destruc-
tion, for regulations. to be
developed and implemen-
ted that protect water
quality, fish,‘ wildlife and
non-commercial ‘forestry
values. fo

Yo take one step back-
ward, even at this most
critical time Of negotiating

the sale of SCI; further.

‘jeopardizes the future of
this company regardless of
‘who owns it, -:~

I spent close to nine
years as a representative
‘. from the tourism industry,
volunteering .my .sérvices
along with representatives
from the forest industry,
first nations, the trappers
"association, local govern-
ments, the B.C. Wildlife
Federation, the mining in-
dustry, environmental
groups, and provincial
government ministries ne-
gotiating a Local Resource
Management Plan
(LRMP).

Is this long term strate-

gic plan for managing the -

forest lands in the Kalum
Forest District in jeopardy
by bejng wattred down or
even "being fesgindedert
assure the salé of SCIts

Just a reminder to -the
provincial government and
local governments , that

| can't
get in

Dear Sir:

I was upset the other
day when I went to the Pa-
cific Northern Gas building
to find a big sign saying it
was closed to the public.

I went around to the

back and found I couldn’t ,

get in there either.

How are you supposed
to lay a complaint if you
can’t get in?-

How is the utilities
commission supposed to
monitor complaints if you
can't get in to make a
complaint inthe first

place? The whole thing is.

‘ridiculous.

CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD

The Mail Bag

under the saft wood umber
agreement, Americans
perceive inferior or unsa-
tisfactory environmental
management of forest
Jands, water,--fish and
wildlife as a form of a sub-
sidy.

I am as concerned as
any one else in the Skeena
watershed about bringing
security and resolution to
the fortunes of the forest
industry.

Jobs and the economy
are under terrible stress
throughout the watershed
and must be turned around
by establishing a stable
and productive forest indu-

stry, but not at the expense
of environmental protec-
tion and other economic
values such as tourism.
Rather than discussing
environmental concessions
the provincial government
should be talking with
Mercer about downsizing
Skeena Cellulose to be-
come a smaller and more
efficient company that
consolidates its operations,
including raad building
and maintenance and re-
ducing its pulp production.
This 1 would suspect
would require a reduction
in the annual allowable
cut and an amendment to

Don’t abandon environment
to help the sale of SCI

its forest tenure which

could allow some smaller

operators and or first na-

tions to play a greater role
in the industry.
