Ad Terrace Review — Wednesday, January 2, 1991 Seldon-used law decides winners in local election by Tod Strachan The Terrace municipal election was finally concluded on Dec, 19. It took a month and two days to get the final count and, in case you've forgotten, these are your: city aldermen for the next three years: Bob Cooper, Ruth Hallock, Rick King (the only new face on council), Darryl Laurent, Danny Sheridan, and Mo Takhar. The election of 1990 wasn't stressful for all, of course. At the helm of the city is mayor Jack Talstra. He won by acclamation long before a single ballot was cast. And for three city aldermen the election ended at the polls. A Nov. 20 recount did nothing more than confirm the results for them. First there was Hallock, who topped the polls with 992 votes and after the recount remained in the lead with 988. Takhar came up with 903 votes at the polls and 893 in the recount to finish in second. And Cooper finished third with 821 at the polls and 817 in the recount. For three other aldermen and one hopeful, though, confirmation of the final results was a slow and painful process. Incumbent Dave Hull was spared... In a way. With only 701 votes at the polls he was out in the first round. For King, Laurent, Sheridan and Adrian Van de Mosselaer, how- ever, the November count was only the beginning. With 801, 775, 780 and 766 votes respectively, a recount was called by Van de Mosselaer. This was held at cily hall on the morning of Nov. 20 and ended with King well in the lead with 795 votes. But for the other three, it was just too close. Laurent finished with 768, Sheri- dan with 766 and Van de Mos- selaer with 764. With Van de Mosselaer only two votes away from success, 12 closer than the count at the polls, a judi- cial recount was called by his lawyer. This took place on Dec. 19 and it soon became apparent that it wasn't going to be a matter of simply recounting the ballots. After some discussion, it was decided by the judge that he would only look at questionable ballots marked for King, Laurent, Sheri- dan and Van de Mosselaer. The ballots were sorted by court clerks and each candidate, or his repre- sentative, had them set aside every ballot they believed should be checked. Re-enter the judge. He rejected — Continued on page A13 Terrace firefighters found themselves fighting water instead of fire Saturday afternoon when they iz answered an alarm at Cassie Hall Elementary School.

Skeena Cel readies kilns In 1992 ali lumber imported by European Economic Community member countries will have to be kiln dried. The EEC decision came as a result of concerns about the environmental effects of anti-sap- stain chemicals that green wood has to be treated with. One of Terrace’s two major sawmills, Skeena Cellulose, ships a large portion of its production to Europe and the new requirement will call for some adjustment. Rand Mehinick, SCI’s mill manager in Terrace, said recently the mill already has four dryers on site. The company currently operates two of them, and Mehi- nick said the other two will be started up this year. Lumber ex- porting countries, he noted, are seeking an extension to the 1992 ruling and exceptions may be made for cedar and hemlock lum- ber, two species that are difficult to dry because of their high mois- ture content. SCI’s dryers were new in 1978 and not as efficient as more recent designs, Mehinick said. They are a direct-fired natural gas type. There will be additional costs in ihe process, he said, but those should be recovered through pric- ing because the product is more valuable. "We in fairly good posi- tion for this,” he said.
