From front Nisga’a get SCI wood early ~ increased logging in future years, because they’d have control of the company’s full annual cut, plus potentially a huge under- cut that built up over the past five years. Veniez now goes even further and says he doesn’t nezd to keep even ownership of the licences, so long as he gets what he needs ~ a guaranteed supply of fibre to his mills at prices he can count on. “I don’t have to own the licences, J don’t have to run the tenures or manage them — in fact I prefer not to,” Veniez says. “Control is not the issue as long as we contractual agreements in place on the fibre supply,” .- . Such arrangements would mirror ithe rules that govern Skeena’s timber li- ' cences from the goverment, he said. “This is not our land — it's the govern- ment’s land,” he points out. “We enter into contracts with them and are expected . to fulfil certain obligations. I don’t see ' this as any different.” “I’ve got a completely open mind on how it’s done and who’s involved and on - the structure of this thing,” he added, “It's _a blank slate.: Ken Houlden, one of the smaller con- Local fined - A TERRACE woman who plead guilty to defrauding Human Resources Develop- ment Canada (HRDC) of more than $73,000 from its employment insurance . program has been fined a lesser amount for the crime. Colleen Helen Russell was ordered to repay $66,441 and was given a 20-month conditional sentence, to be served in the . community. | She is also prohibited from looking for work with any company involved in.a po- ' sition of trust with employer or client money. Russell’s case was transferred to Prince George after she plead guilty to stealing the money between Sept. 23, ‘ 2001 and Apr. 3, 2002. Russell was charged with 14 counts of : fraud and one count of theft June 24, 2002 after a series of fictional employment in- surance claims were uncovered by _ HRDC’s electronic system.

A2 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, January 29, 2003 tractors who criticized Veniez's plans, said the revised ideas give him hope. “It’s more promising than what we heard prior to this,” he said. Although he has yet to meet with Ve- niez directly, Houlden says a group of smailer contractors are preparing their own proposal to run part of the woodlands. Houlden says smaller contractors have a history of working comfortably together and subcontracting work to each other, because none of them own a full range of equipment, Alfie McDames, a Kitselas chief with experience as a logging contractor, says he and other aboriginal-leaders are pleas- antly surprised by Veniez’s ideas. “I support what he’s doing,” he said. “It’s different, it's new and I’m not afraid of it.” “[t’s going to bust this thing wide open for new opportunities.” McDames says Veniez doesn’t need ta force contractors into aboriginal partner- ships, as long as he makes his expecta- tions clear. “Let the stones fall where they may,” he said. “The partners will find each other,” for El fraud Officials have so far not been able to explain the discrepancy between the money that was taken and the lesser fine amount.
