Page A2 — Terrace Standard, Wednesday, September 26, 1990 Timber purchase §& draws protest TERRACE — The: economic development commission of the Kitimat-Stikine regional district wants forests minister Claude Richmond to revoke the licence ofa forestry company and put it up for competitive bids. Tay-M Logging is one of three companies which have culting rights in the northern section of the Kalum’ forest district. It recently agreed to sell its licence for an undisclosed sun to West Fraser Mills. The deal, however, requires forests ministry approval. in calling on the minister to instead revoke the licence, Thornhill director Les Wat- mough said he was concerned the deal might mean Tay-M would, in effect, be making a profit on uncut timber, Watmough pointed out the trees were Crown timber and the whole idea behind granting licences was for companies to make their money from harvesting it. While Tay-M deserved to be compensated for any work and improvements (roads) it had made, it should not be allowed to make money on standing trees it was handing over to West Fraser. ‘‘It’s mot a real estate deal,’” he added. He pointed out his proposal was little different from the pro- cess followed by the ministry five years ago when Westar voluntarily gave up its north Kalum licence and interested companies were invited to bid on the wood. Although the motion was passed unanimously by the commission, an earlier atternpt to persuade the Kitimat-Stikine regional district to take the same position was torpedoed when Kitimat director John LeSage invoked a procedural device which killed any vote on from front Anglers suggested, Pointing out every opening for commercial fishing had been followed immediately by a sharp drop in the number of steelhead passing Tyee, he said ‘“‘We're having great difficulty believing the estimates of the commercial fishery.’” However, he conceded, “When you're asking people to offer up information which may be used to lobby or argue against them, don’t expect to get the full story.’’ As for the effect of the native fishery, Hooton said the branch the issue. Regional district rules allow any director to call for postponement of voting until the next meeting if the board has not been given 24 hours notice of a motion. No such notice had’ been’ given in this case. LeSage used the same tactic to head off a vote on a motion put forward by Stewart director Andy Burton. Burton had asked the board to seek assurances from Richmond ‘a complete review of wood flows and volume in the north Kalum is taking place prior to any changes in existing licences." Here again, Burton's sugges- tion subsequently received the unanimous approval of the commission, The seemingly contradictory results reflect the fact Kitimat and Terrace opted out of the economic development commis- sion some years ago and their representatives therefore do not sit on that body, Commenting later, Burton complained attempts by the smaller communities within the regional district to further their aims of .long term economic stability ‘‘always seem to run in- to tremendous roadblocks.” Although Tay-M has been sending the wood to Stewart's log barge loading facility, West Fraser has indicated it will divert at least a portion of the timber to its Skeena Sawmills operation in Terrace, With the only opposition to both motions alt the regional district meeting having come from Kitimat and Terrace direc- tors, Burton added, ‘‘Let’s be honest, Terrace and Kitimat are sitting in a pretty good pesition regardless of what happens. We're the ones that are hurting.” decline was still working on this year’s estimates. He also pointed oul that fishery ‘‘is not over by any means,” He said a recent patrol of the lower Skeema had revealed: ‘pretty intensive netting activi- ty.’’ With runs for all other salmon species either finished or very nearly so, Hooton said it was obvious those nets were targeting steelhead. He anticipated the total Native catch would fall: somewhere between the com- mercial and sports fishery figures.
