The Terrace Review asked:

After a mild and spring- ike

February, Terrace is again in
snow. What kind of personal |
or public events has the sudden
shift back to winter delayed?

lastest in a series: of
mishaps involving logging
trucks on the northern
stretch of Highway 37.
Dave Barton stated the
accident occurred at 11:30
am, Feb. 19 in poor
weather conditions about
25 kilometers north of

. Meziadin Junction. While

negotiating a sharp turn .
on a narrow part of the
road he encountered a log-
ging truck approaching on

the wrong side of the

road, Barton said. Despite
his efforts to avoid a colli-
sion by driving into a
snowbank, Barton’s vehi-
cle was struck.

Both Barton and the

truck driver of Houston
escaped serious injury.
Barton indicated both
men were wearing seat-
belts.

Stewart RCMP at-
tributed the accident to
hazardous road _ condi-
tions, and r no charges were
laid.

Kad safety in the,

vicinity of Stewart has
become a widely-voiced
concern recently due to
several accidents and
reported near-misses,
many of which involved
logging trucks. Logging
activity has been intense
during recent months,
with an average of more
than 400 loads being
trucked into the port town
