Stewart mayor vows to —
fight Orenda decision

"Are we unhappy? You bet we’re
unhappy,” said Stewart mayor
Darlene Cornell a few houss after
Orenda Forest Products announced
July 3 that its proposed pulp and
paper mill project had been moved
out of the Stewart area.

Cornell said the port community
won't take it lying down. "We’re
going to follow through and sce if
we can convince the government
that the mill should be in the area
of the wood cut." Orenda original-
ly wanted to locate the mill near
Swan Lake in the Meziadin Junc-

tion area, right within its forest
licence chart area. The company
says it changed its mind after
inordinate delays in pushing the
proposal through the provincial
government’s Major Project
Review Process. The decision is a
blow to Stewart, which was count-
ing on economic benefits from the
mill.

Although Orenda officials claim
they were told informally by the
government that the original site
was unacceptable, Cornell places
responsibility for the move square~

“Traffic duty
keeps police busy

An investigation into a motor vehicle accident that sent three
people to hospital early Sunday morning continues, but Terrace
RCMP Cpl. Garry Moritz says that alcohol was a contributing
factor. According to Moritz, the accident occurred on Kalum Lake
Drive by Frank’s Field and resulted in a total of $6,000 damage
when one vehicle rear-ended another. A Mills Memorial Hospital
spokesman said Monday that two of the injured persons were
treated and released while the third was hospitalized until Monday
morning for observation. ;

ly with Orenda. "There was no
report from the government, this is
strictly Orenda’s doing," she said.
“Now they’re saying there’s not
enough hydro, no natural gas, no
proximity to infrastructure. Well,
those things were never issues
before." mo

Stewart can’t afford to lose this
industry, Comell said, and
expressed fears that in addition to
the potential benefits of the pro-
posed mili, the community might
also lose some of its current com-
merce with Orenda as wood flows
south to the new mill site.
"It’s good for Terrace but they’re
taking it away from us," she said.
"it’s jike we're walking and
they’re driving cars."

Moritz says the Terrace detachment was kept busy over the
weekend. RCMP officers responded to more than 75 calls Saturday
and Sunday and apprehended five persons for impaired driving.
Over 200 hundred drivers were checked in a road block set up at
the Highway 16-37 intersection Sunday night. |

‘Most were returning after a day at the beach, and four drivers
were charged with offenses under the Motor Vehicle Act while
warnings were issued to 12 others for a variety of offenses. It
seems that most people are getting the message about drinking and
driving, though. "Most satisfying," says Moritz, “was that no liquor
related offenses were discovered."
