FROM FRONT Five battle for Skeena That's different from the traditional 8 a.m. to 8p.m. lime. This change, along with others across Canada’s time zones, is meant to equalize voting times as much as possible. Reform party leader Preston Manning is scheduled to visit Terrace next Wednesday, May 7. A place and time for a public meeti ng had yet to be determined at press time yesterday morming. The northwest is familiar ground to Manning, He made several, visits leading up to and including the 1993 campaign. Reform candidate Mike Scott’s workers wasted no time in pul- ling upsigns. Four were up on the hill leadina to the airport justhours after Prime Minister Jean Chretien made his election call Sunday. Mike Scott has set up his campaign headquarters at his former constituency office on Lakelse, next door to Kendola’ S- Furniture. NDPcandidate Dr. Issac Sobol has set up his campaign office - in the former Department of Fisheries and Oceans office on Lazelte Ave. in the Tillicum Theatre building, It’s probably no indication of actual support, but chamber of commerce members here acted lukewarm when it came to the chance of having lunch with Liberal candidate Rhoda Witherly last week.

Call 635-TIPS LAST ONE: A landing gear collapse last week destroyed the world’s only flying Bristol Freighter. Plane wrecked, but crew safe NOBODY WAS hurt, but the world’s last flying Bristol Freighter is no more, The freighter was destroyed when it landed at Bronson Creek airstrip on the Iskut River around 5:10 p.m. last Thursday. Hawkair Aviation operations manager Dave Menzies said the plane's right landing gear. collapsed shortly: after the craft touched down, ° “The aircraft spun around 180 degrees and slid into the ditch,” Menzies said. The three Terrace crewmembers ~ Captain Murray Hamer, {st officer Dale Lamon and company owner Paul Hawkins — all escaped without a scratch. : The plane, however, was demolished i in the crash, which is now being investigated by | the federal Transportation Safety Board. Menzies said a landing gear strut aie, causing the collapse of the gear. The landing gear had been through all mandatory inspections. he said, including an ultrasonic inspection just two days earlier. ‘There was absolutely nothing the crew could have done to save the situation there,” Menzies said. “There’s no indication or suggestion of any error on the part of the crew whatsoever.” The plane’s toss is a huge setback to the Terrace company, which has the contract to fly supplies into Prime Resources’ SNIP gold mine at Bronson Creek. Menzies said Hawkair is in the process of purchasing a DC-4 aircraft, and continues efforts to get one more Bristol parked at the Terrace airport in flying condition. FROM FRONT | West Fraser to log resulting stumpage is lower than if they were handled individually, “It's not insignificant.” Snetsinger said, “It’s enough to give West Fraser some solace and obviously get them back in the woods.” A dispute with IWA local |-71 is expected to continue despite the return to work. “The union has filed a Labour Relations Bourd action charac- *. terizing the recent logging shutdown as ‘an illegal lockout and claiming back pay for workers. “T think the company owes the workers in both the sawmill and the logging division — and’ owes thet lost wages,” said union president Darrel Wong. Loca! union representatives also expressed | their frustration at West Fraser’s response to tough times. “We've pot a mill across the road that's in financial dire straits and they haven’t lost an hour,” Tony Taphouse told MacNicol at Thursday’s rally. t “We feel like we're being held hostage by a set of circum- stances that are beyond our control,” MacNicol told-the loggers that the business has to make a profit in order for everyone to keep their jabs, “I’ve been off work for six months,”. said Nick Galic. a 63- year-old logger whose worked in this area since 1952. Workers are also worried a takeover of West Fraser’s logging division by a new firm called Terrace Timber Lid. will lead to job losses.
