A fishy

experience

A CUSTOMER service
program which originated
at the Pike Place Fish
Market in Seattle is com-
ing to Terrace at North-
west Community College
Oct. |

It's designed to boost
customer satisfaction and
to retain employees, lead-
ing to more profitability.

The program began
when employees of the
fish market, which was
struggling economically,
were asked for their ideas
on how to boost perfor-
mance.

That success resulted in
the program, dubbed
FISH!, being developed as

Giant auction on Thursday

THE BIGGEST industrial
equipment auction Terrace
has ever seen gets under-
way Thursday morning.

Ritchie Brothers auctio-
neers are here to sell off
all the equipment of
K’shian Construction and
Logging.

Frank Cutler, the firm’s
owner, is selling out for

now — but says he may buy
back in when the forest
sector bounces back.

Other contractors have
added items to the auc-
tion, say Ritchie Brothers
officials.

That has boosted the
auction to more than 300
lots from the 160 assorted

ally listed by K’Shian.
Ritchie Brothers hasn't

staged an auction in Ter-

race since the two times it

-came here during the indu-

stry downturn of the early
1980s. Its first visit here, in
1982, was also for Cutler,
who sold everything then
and got back in business a

Road is to resources, Alaskans admit

By JEFF NAGEL
TERRACE mayor Jack Talstra is
continuing to back Alaskan efforts to
develop a road into northwest B.C.
even though state leaders now admit
they have their eyes on B.C. te-
sources.

The mayor said Alaskan Senator
.Robin Taylor, who headed a visit
here Sept. 8, told Terrace city coun-
cil the road likely would carry re-
sources to tidewater in Alaska,

That’s a reversal from previous
' visits, where U.S. proponents of the
road tried ‘to portray it as primarily
for tourism.

“He called a spade a spade,
Talstra said. “He said it probably
would be used for resources and

”

probably wouldn't be tied exclusive-
ly to tourism, as they tried to say
last time.”

“He was quite candid.”

The Bradfield Canal road would
tun from near Wrangell, Alaska up
the Iskut River valley to connect to
Hwy 37.

Opposition to the road has centred
on the possibility B.C. ore and tim-
ber would be hauled to a new Alas-
kan port, costing jobs in Stewart.

Talstra said Terrace council and
the Alaskans agreed the road should
be pursued’ so Jong as it benefits both
B.C. and Alaska.

“If it means employment for the
area, we want to take a look at
that,” Talstra said..

While the expectation is the U.S.
government would shoulder all the
costs of the road, B.C.’s agreement
would be required. The next step is
to carry out-a study to analyze the
costs and benefits to B.C. of such a
road, Talstra said.

Terrace council pledged to lobby
Victoria to get that work done.

If the road does go ahead, Talstra
said, some kind of aid may need to
be found to assist Stewart.

He said Terrace is also lobbying
strongly for the proposed road con-
necting Hwy 37 to the Kemess mine.

“That will definitely benefit Ste-
wart and we should try to get that
done as quickly as possible,” Talstra
said.
