A2 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, June 16, 1999 From front Road probed over habitat worries rules, if. there is an impact to an endangered species such as grizzly bears, the project will have to to mediation or a panel to determine if the socio-economic impacts [of the road] outweigh the significant impacts to grizzly bears,’' “All information to date indicates that the project will go to mediation under the federal guidelines.” But Dave St. Thomas, the highways ministry’s Kincolith road project man- ager, says that level of worry may be a bit premature. He says the alignment of the road has taken grizzly habitat into consid- eration,. adding that foraging area loss is pegged at five per cent of total habitat area. “We have done an awful lot of work and we have made some revi- sions,"’ said St. Thomas. John Mathers of the Canadian En- vironmental Assessment Agency noted that the purpose of the review is to highlight problem areas and then to find ways of dealing with them. “IE the environmental assessment does conclude there are significant ad- verse environmental effects that you cannot mitigate and there are no ways to deal with, a further level of review may be ordered and that could be | a panel or mediation,”’ he said. “One of the outcomes could be is a determination that yes, there are el- fects, but they. are to be balanced or justified by the socio-economic im- pacts of the project.”’ A road linking the village of Kin- colith to Greenville and thereby to the Nisga’a Highway and the rest of the Nass valley has been a long-standing wish of the Nisga’a, Kincolith access is by air or ferry to Prince Rupert, Construction became possible nearly five years ago when the federal government, the province and the Nisga’a agreed to divide the costs.

Representatives of two companies loured the Prince Rupert pulp mill last week but govemment officials stressed talks that could lead to sale of the company are only at a preliminary stage. “With the announcement of the capital expenditure program and with the in- crease in the price of pulp we've seen in the last lite while there’s a little more interest in Skeena,’? said employment and investment ministry spokesman Don Zadravec. This isn’t the first time possible suitors have made inquiries about buying the company, “We've been talking to From Front people for ages and not just these people,” said compa- ny spokesman Dou McDonald. “We're making this com- pany market-ready,” he added. “That's our objec- live, And it’s not surprising people in the investment community are aware of that.” Skeena MLA Helmut Giesbrecht said the govern- ment has been clear it wants to eventually sell the com- pany, but buyers who think they can get it for a bargain basement price are wrong. “We've always said we're not going to unload this thing just to get rid of it,” he said. ‘‘We want to get our equity out of it.’” Giesbrecht said while he’s not worried about selling Students grieve loss Douglas appeared in court Tuesday on 10 charges including two counts of criminal negligence causing death and impaired driving causing death. He is also charged with possession of sto- len property, breach of probation and causing a police pursuit. Charges against Payne are also pending, said Gollan. Lee and Fontaine, high school sweethearts two weeks from graduation, were returning from a smail party. Lee, a bright and friendly student, excelled at band and drama. She was, said Caledonia principal Geoff Straker, a positive student who never failed to say hello in the halls — no matter what her day was like. Fontaine was a Rotary exchange student from Belgium and was to return in July. His body will be flown to Belgium witha Rotary club Jepresentative when the RCMP investigation ends. : “They're” great kids and we ‘don't ‘have them’ ariymore,” ‘Straker- said,-adding students.and staff at the school are shocked. ‘angry and in a state of disbelief, Eight counsellors were brought into the school Monday to help students deal with their grief. Lee and Fontaine's lockers are now decorated with a single red rose, pictures and messages from students. The lockers, like the memorial at the intersection where they died, have become grieving spots for. students to sit tand reflect on the: tragedy, SCI ta a private company, he does worry about any further consolidation of the northwest forest industry. If one company ended up with contro! of most or all of the industry, it would make business very difficult for loggers and contractors, .he said, ‘‘They almost get to name the price they’re going ‘to pay for the wood then,”’ Aiy issues like that aris- ing through a future pro- posed sale would be public- ly aired, he noted. “Any purchaser would have to go through the transfer of forest licence hearings which would give everyone an opportunity to say how they want the forest industry to unfold,’ Selling to a private com- pany also raises question of ‘whether the possibility of community ownership has been abandoned, That’s an idea put forth a year ago by Skeena Cel- lulose president Bill Steele, who is back here speaking at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon Thursday. Giesbrecht said com- munity ownership would be ‘great’? bul would be a complex issue, There’s be plenty of risks ‘for communities that signed ‘On —- perhaps more than they’re prepared to take. Being more responsive to local community concerns could mean the company would also be less competi- tive, he cautioned. “Anything held by any political group is always subject to pressure," Gies- brecht noted. ‘If you con- cede to the pressure it usual- ly means you're less profitable.”’ 4818 Highway 16 West Terrace, B.C.
