Let SCI go bankrupt,
Hazelton mayor says

IT’S TIME to let Skeena
Cellulose die, says the
mayor of Hazelton.

Alice Maitland said she
won’t join other northwest
mayors in lobbying for an
extension of the creditor
protection that has so far
shielded SCI from bank-
ruptey.

The Nov. 8 court ap-
pearance is expectéd to
see provincial and munici-
pal officials square off
against the TD bank in try-
ing to get a further 90-day
extension to allow nego-
tiations towards a final
sale of SCI to Mercer In-
ternational. ;

She said she and many
Hazeltons area residents
feel there’s no sense’ in
trying ta keep the compa-
ny alive,

“We think it’s maybe
lime to let the poor thing
die,” she said.

Maitland said the Ha-
zeltons area has suffered

Alice Maitland

the most because the Car-
naby sawmill and associa-
ted logging has gone down
frequently.

“We're always the first
down and always the last
up,” she said, “We're the
last people to benefit from
any prosperity that flows
around.”

Bankruptcy and a
break-up of SCI would in-
Stead allow small busines-
Ses ta tap wood that SCI

had locked up.

There are smail value-
added mills that employ
just a few people each in
the area that are doing
well, she said.

“Then you don’t have a
whole community tied for
its life to a company that
you can’t predict what
they’re going to do,” she
said. “Then our community
will know we're really
poor and we have to find a
way to survive and take
responsibility for our
lives.”

Maitland said she won't
argue with the TD bank in
favour of bankruptcy. —

She said she’s also op-
posing the idea of north-
west towns banding toge-
ther to invest in the new
company.

“I think we've taken
enough chances and put
our necks on the line too
many times for other
people,” she said,

Four locals arrested
on cocaine charges

FOUR LOCAL men face
cocaine charges after they
were stopped in a vehicle
in what police are calling
a “high risk” take down
Oct. 19 on Hwy16 between
Terrace and Prince Rupert.

Police say they found
three-quarters of a pound
of cocaine approximately
150 metres away from the
vehicle,

The stop and then the
discovery took place
around 10 p.m. that night.

“We knew that they

were coming and they
were stopped. We had
been waiting on the high-
way for a while,” said lead
investigator Cnst. Max
Fossum of the events.

The cocaine was found
in a large plastic bag with
smaller packaged quanti-
ties within it, he said.

Police believe the co-
caine was intended for re-
sale and arrested the men.
They were released the
same night.

Police also seized the

2000 Ford crew cab pick-
up truck in which the men
were travelling.

The men range in age
from 20-36 years old, po-
lice said.

No names can be tre-
leased until charges are
sworn by federal Crown
Counsel bul RCMP antici-
pate that process to be
complete later this month,

Fossum expects to
charge the men with pos-
session of a narcotic with
the intent to traffic.
