ONE YEAR AGO THIS WEEK...

West Fraser Timber Ltd., owner
of Skeena Sawmill in Terrace, was
ready to sign the papers to acquire
the assets of Tay-M Logging. The
purchase of the North Kalum-
based logging operation would
include company assets and a
240,000 cubic metre per year
forest licence. Among the contrac-
tual responsibilities West Fraser
would take over as part of the
agreement would be payment of
Tay-M contractors and silviculture.
obligations.

In other forestry news Orenda
Forest Products filed a prospectus
with the provincial government’s’
Major Project Review Process.
Orenda’s plans were to build a
pulp and paper mill north of Ter-

race, in the Van Dyke area near .

Meziadin Junction. According to
Orenda, the plant would manufac-
ture a type of lightweight coated

paper that was currently made only
in Scandinavia. They said the mill
would be of a zero-effluent design
using a Finnish process involving
hydrogen peroxide instead of
chlorine. .

Twenty barrels of toxic
herbicides were uncovered in a
Ministry of Highways gravel pit in
Thornhill. It was determined the
barrels were buried in the late
1970’s, when burial was an accept-
able method of disposal for toxic
wastes, According to the Ministry

-of Environment, the barrels were

likely disposed of at the time due
to increasing awareness of . the
hazards. of those herbicides, es-
pecially to employees working
with the chemicals. The Ministry
of Highways said the barrels
would be removed and stored ina
locked, fenced compound.

TWO YEARS AGO THIS
WEEK...

Two area loggers announced they
were pulling out of the woods
because they could no longer oper-
ate at the prices offered by Westar
Timber. Both Lyle Gold and
Roman Pelletier said they felt they
had no choice, and their biggest
concern was the employees and
sub-contractors that had to be put
out of work. They also said that
over the two previous years prices
paid for logs harvested had gone
down while costs of logging had

steadily risen. Both contractors laid

the blame on changes in upper
management at local Westar mills.
About 50 employees and sub-con-
tractors were directly affected.
Construction was continuing at a
steady pace on the Shames Moun-
tain Ski Resort road. The regional

City council decided to give the
swimming pool renovations project

one more try. Costs for the project,

including necessary revisions, were
getting completely out of hand.
Recommendations made to the city

were for them to determine if

additional provincial funding was
available from the new GO B.C.
program. They were to then to re-
tender the project on the conditions
that a definite time frame for a
final decision be set, that it didn’t
cost the taxpayers more than
$350,000, and that it didn’t add to
design fees. The city was also
going to re-evaluate its recreational
needs to see if the moncy desig-
nated for the pool project couldn’t
be put to a better use to a benefit a
greater number of residents.
