R.D. NOTES Race grant denied Kitimat-Stikine regional district has turned down a Skeena Valley Triathlon association request for $1,000 to stage a wine and cheese social prior to its July 12 race. Pointing out this was the first time the association had ask- ed for public money, spokesman Steve Scott said the reason was this year's event was hosting the 1992 Olympic Distance B,C. Triathlon championships, The event would therefore be bigger and more costly than in the past. However, given the economic climate, Scot! said corporate sponsors were not increasing their financial contributions. Organizers therefore anticipated a $5,000 shortfall. In rejecting the request, directors concluded the district should not be providing grants for individual sporting events “in general and wine and cheese socials in particular. © Although the district had agreed to contribute to the Onion Lake cross country skiing project, Telegraph Creek director Dave Brockelbank said there was a difference. The Onion Lake development was something that would benefit many residents of the district for many years to come, not “‘a one-time event’. What happens now? _ Inthe wake of the Cassiar asbestos mine closure, the the district wants answers on the fate of two government opera- tions based there. Dave Brockelbank, director for the district's northern por- tion, pointed out the highways maintenance yard located in that community was the only one between Dease Lake and the Yukon. He wanted a letter be sent to the provincial highways ministry seeking clarification on what, if anything, would happen to that Facility. The federal minister responsible for Canada Post will also be asked to outline what the corporation’s mail delivery plans _ now are for the north. Brockelbank noted Canada Post had in the past explained delays in delivery to Iskut and Telegraph Creek were caused by the need to temporarily hold mail in Cassiar, the only com- munity which offered the secure premises necessary. Area residents therefore wanted to know what the corpora- tion’s plans were now and what the effects would be on mail delivery, Drilling still a no-no The district still opposes geo-thermal test drilling near Mount Layton hotsprings and is making sure new energy minister Anne Edwards knows it. Area C director Sandy Sandhals said he received a letter from resort owner Bert Orleans expressing concern about a report that geo-thermal proponent Brian Fairbank was con- sidering approaching Edwards to get exploratory drilling rights in the area. A year ago, Fairbank’s application to do exploratory drill- ing rights on land to the south of Mount Layton was rejected by the ministry after Orleans persuaded district directors to call for a drilling ban within a 6km radius of his facility. Fairbank’s proposal had also run afoul of then Skeena MLA and Lands minister Dave Parker who maintained there was no justification for either geo-thermal exploration/elec- et . - tricity; iproduction i in the northwest. “‘now or in the forseeable 1: 100 tons of veardhoai ‘Another ‘potential: “problem” ona seat Cian Ane eeihe : future:! : 3 Sandhals said Orleans had reiterated his ‘earlier claims the proposed drilling could disrupt the flow of hot water to his resort and asked the district, to reaffirm their opposition to any drilling. Agreeing their position had not changed, directors decided a letter to Edwards would ensure she too was aware of that. Led of Bottle bucks tough going TERRACE — The recycling depot’s new bottle depot isn't turning out to be as profitable as hoped for, Skeena Valley Recycling Society spokesman Scott Schooner said the bottle depot turned about $1,400 worth of business in the first week, net- ting about $290 — enough to pay workers’ wages and leave a | small profit. But Schooner says it doesn't appear the bottle depot: will make a substantial dent in the depot’s rent, which the depot will have to start covering next year, The rent has been paid for by the city through to the end of 1992, A likely reason for the poor showing is that the recycling society is offering less than other outlets, such as grocery stores and the liquor store. The depot pays $1 a dozen for beer bottles and cans, for exam- ple, while the liquor store is closer to downtown and offers $1.20. “T don't know if it’s that or if people just don’t know where we are,’’ Schooner said. ‘We thought it would be a bit busier than it is.’’ Schooner says they’re work- ing on federal and provincial grant proposals right now. In those applications they will be asking for money for an expart-density baler to pack cardboard. The baler would make their cardboard more valuable, help- ing pay the rent and subsidize the shipment of other recyclable materials at a loss. “We're hoping this card- board baler is going to be the one to kick it up over the top,”’ he added, They’re contemplating buy- ing one for about $50,000. Another option is leasing one from Canadian Fibre, a com- pany that specializes in marketing recyclable products, but that requires a Quarantee o for the depot lies with newsprint. The broker that will buy newsprint has told the depot it doesn't want newsprint older than six months. ‘‘ Apparently it’s harder to get Datalrain Computer Package Datatrain 386sx system > BOS8G sx processor (16 Mhz) ¢ 2 Mb RAM, 52 Mb Hard Disk. 1.44 Mb Floppy © Super VGA 1024 x 768 Colour Monitor + Mouse and Windows 3 Raven 9705 Printer Raven has dramatically reduced the nofse level of dot matrix printers with the new Hush Series 91.05.
