A2 Terrace Review — Wednesday, August 29, 1990 Highway development _— Continued from page A1 out of date is the tralfic situation in this city," she said, "and if we don’t address it, we’re going to be in 4 morass (swamp)." Hallock’s recorded vote opposing the fine tuning of Keith Ave. zoning stands alone on the official record. But the issue came back with the next item on the agenda: a news release on the Ministry of High- ways highway corridor _ traffic study. With this, Sheridan sug- gested that maybe we do need to look at some changes. One way traffic on Tetrault might help, he said, and a pedestrian light and crossing at the Greyhound bus depot is also required. "Foot traffic from the bus depot can’t get across the street," he explained. Dave Hull noted that there still Boycott ment are in the process of develop- ing public relations campaigns in Europe. He believes the campaign against Canadian forest productions is being promoted by a Green Party member of the European Parlia- ment, the governing body founded to manage the transition of all European nations into what amounts to a single economic unit in 1992, "I don’t think its repre- sentative (of Europe as a whole), but it should be taken seriously," he said. Despite its corporate policy of maximum market diversification, Westar has a lot to lose if the boycott achieves any degree of success. The company’s market share of UK lumber imports is a healthy 12 percent. Northwestern B.C. has a lot more to lose: 50 percent of the produc- tion from three of the biggest sawmills in the Northwest is sold through Westar to the UK and Europe. According to another source, however, lumber may not be the target of the boycott at all: it will be aimed at pulp and newsprint. David Peerla, a Greenpeace ~ spokesman in Vancouver, said the idea originated when Jup Weber, a professional forester and the Green Party European Parliament member isn’t a sidewalk. “We, sat down with (former. highways minister) Neil Vant over a yéar ago arid he” promised to do something and we haven't seen anything,” said Hill: Hallock, though, pointed out that something was happening: "They’re sending kids out to sit on chairs and count traffic." This, of course, is a part of the ministry’s current study, but Hull offered a suggestion that might get a quicker reaction. "Perhaps Cabinet can stand on the overpass for an hour... and perhaps a logging truck might fall on them." Premier Bill Vander Zalm and members of the Cabinet are sche- duled to visit Terrace at the end of September. After more than two years of prodding from the news media, the , "B.C. Ministry of Environment last: month released a list of. the waste “management permit violators that are causing the government the most concern. None of the vio- lators are located in Tertace. or Thornhill, but there are a number of them in the Northwest. The minisiry says the 116 indus- trial operations and municipalities named are either not in compliance with existing permils or "are deemed by the Minisiry to be a potential concern." On the list of permit violators for this region are: *Alcan Smelters and Chemicals — Kitimat works exceeded smelier effluent permit during March 1990. Continued from page A1 for Luxembourg, came to Vancouver Island this past spring and was given a tour of a Mac- Millan Bloedel logging site. He was so horrified by the devastation he saw there that he vowed to launch a boycott. Peerla noted that Weber is not a novice in the boycott business: he organized an EEC-wide boycott of tropical hardwoods that Peerla characterized as "completely suc- cessful". Peerla said his understanding of the issue is that Weber believes B.C. forests are being logged at an unsustainable rate; that is, the trees ate being cut faster than they can grow back to provide a constant forest base. Weber, he said, believes the same Green Party criteria should apply to developed countries like Canada that are applied to the Third World; hence, an action to pressure Canada into changing its forest management practices. Peerla said the strategy as he understands it would be directed against pulp and newsprint for three reasons: they are a low-value product compared to other uses for wood, they emission problems in the produc- tion process, and they are easy to trace in terms of end use. One scenario would involve boycott organizers tracing the source of 4535 Greig A LL] Cheque Name C1 Money Order Please send a subscription to: Address Phone Postal Code Seniors in Terrac:: and District $30.00 Seniors outside of Terrace and District $33.00 Out of Canada $100.00 involve chemical - Expiry Date THIS SYMBOL has begun appearing on all lumber shipped to Europe by Westar marketing in an effort to counteract an impending boycott. newsprint supply for major Euro- pean newspapers. Having obtained that information, the organizers would then release news stories on the issue as they see it to news- papers competing against those that use Canadian newsprint. The boy- cott would ultimately be directed at the Canadian newsprint user by way of adverse publicity released to competing news organizations. srs Seaman - . © 1Dawra vem venue, Terrace, B.C.
