Parachutes set SENIOR executives at Repap En- terprises will have a soft landing no matter what happens to the firm. Repap’s precarious financial posi- tion led it to cut loose B.C. mills now run by banks as Skeena Cel- lulose. Stock plummetied when a merger bid with Avenor failed. Now the company is accepting bids for its operations in an effort to raise nearly $250 million. But the Financial Pest reports that Repap executives gol agreements with the company a year ago thal eusures they get rich payouts even if they’re removed by future owners.

Tourism promotion flounders Regional directors lukewarm on city request for money THE CITY of Terrace has run into an- other roadblock on the drive to get out of the tourism marketing business. On Friday, the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District tabled a bid by the city to collect seed money to pay for operations of the Terrace Tourism Council. The council is to be responsible for increasing tourism in the area, by marketing its strengths. awe Terrace has agreed to invest $45,000 this year and $35,000 next year towards the project. The plan is to eventually get out of the tourism promotion business entirely and have the private sector pick up the tab. But the city needs more start-up money, A proposed two per cent hotel rooin-tax would have brought in an estimated $60,000, but that plan was widely rejected by hotel operators. The idea of a straight additional levy put on businesses was also abandoned as it would violate the Municipal Act. So on Friday the city requested the regional district invest $15,000 this year atid $11,000 next year, on the premise- that the tourism council would bring more people to the whole area, not just ‘errace. But that concept didn’t wash with some of the RD directors. “All I see in this plan is Terrace,”’ RD chair Joanne Monaghan told tourism,courcil proponent Ken Veld- man. ‘Terrace, Terrace, Terrace. Nothing about Kitimat or Hazelton or Stewart, I have deep concerns with that.”’ Veldman admilted the focus was on Terrace, but insisted there would be regional benefits. Stewart director Andy Burton agreed, saying he thought Monaghan needed to be more open-minded. “T think Terrace has taken a leader- ship role here and they should be con- gratulated,’’ he said. ‘? think this is a ‘very reasonable request. I don’t live in Kitimat but if I did I’m sure I'd be happy to see this go forward.”’ Director Dave Brocklebank echoed Burton’s comments, saying it was nearly impossible for Terrace to baost tourism without benefiting the region -as. a Whole. “It’s like the old saying, what's good for General Motors is good for U.S.A,’ But Kitimat director Jim Thom argued Veldman-had jumped the line by going-to the:board first-instead-of | selling the concept the towns in the district. Thom put forward a motion to table the board’s decision until other town councils in the region had a chance to discuss the issue. The motion passed seven votes to four. “You're all a bunch of wimps,” Burton said after the vote. ‘You should have called Kitimat’s bluff.’ JOB SUMMARY: (3:00 p.m. - p.m.) shifts.
