ey . Virtually every application for ‘a permit to use the herbicide Vi- ‘sion (also known as Round Up) in the Northwest during the past two years has been challenged -through the Environmental Ap-. peal Board. It now appears that - appellants will have additional -gmmunition in their battle againse use of the chemical on local reforestation sites. - Jorma Jyrkkanen, a biologist living the Northwest, announced -tecently that a laboratory analysis of a sample of Vision he says was obtained from the Kalum District Forest ' office revealed the presence of 1,4-dioxane, an established car- cinogen in lab animals and a kidney and- liver toxin in humans. The analysis was done by Cantest Laboratories of Van- couver. The lab’s findings indicated 350 parts per million of 1,4-dioxane in the surfactant used in the Vision formula. Ex-. cept for the active herbicide glyphosate, all ingredients are trade secrets protected under U.S. and Canadian law. Jyrk- kanen’s search for POEA in the mix was prompted by the con- ‘Trailer’ not what jit. seems Te Bayt atags Ue Fate fet Complaints Tegistered — with Terrace city council recently regarding a mobile home being illegally moved onto residential property at 4709 Straume were unfounded. Although the unit looks like a mobile home at first glance, it’s not. According to city .adminis- trator Bob Hallsor, the unit is actually a portion of an old motel and unlike most mobile homes, it meets all CMHA stan- dards for residential housing. Hallsor says the addition meets all city bylaw requirements and will be placed on cement footings, matching siding and a roof will be added, and when complete, it will become an in- tegral part of the home. — Wednesday, Jover foresinyh herbicide. chemical clusions of Dr. David Monroe, a Washington environmental toxi- cologist and public health con- sultant, who postulated the pres- ence of the ‘chemical after analyzing a series: of deaths in- | ‘Japan that resulted from the in- gestion. of Round Up. -Jyrkkanen called 350 ppm of 1,4-dioxane “‘much too high to be safe for such a carcinogenic substance and... totally un- acceptable.’’ There are currently two ap-— plications for permits to use Vi- sion in the Kalum Forest District, and both are being ap- pealed. The history of En- ‘ vironmental Appeal Board -rul- ings indicates that the hearing. panel will decide the issue solely on the grounds of whether the is being applied according to the manufacturers direction by licensed personnel. The board has claimed in the past that it has no power to rule on the safety of pesticides legitimately registered with. Agriculture Canada. Jyrkkanen speculates that the laboratory finding may ultimately result ‘in the de- registration of Round Up, an agricultural herbicide, in the U.S. under the terms of the Delaney Act, which forbids the application of carcinogens to food, drugs or cosmetics. “The dioxane finding raises once again, serious questions about the registration of pesticides.in Canada and about the practice of protecting trade secrets, and suggests that major reforms are long overdue,”’ Jyrkkanen said. Dennis Griffiths and Martin Parks (center) recelved ICBC's “Living Proof Award” recently from Terrace ICBC clalms unit-manager Dennis McKinney and RCMP Constable Ken Harkness. This award would not have been possible If it were not for the.proper use of seat belts. Seat belt a life-saver On May 8 of this year a Ministry of Highways vehicle was routinely checking the road surface between Meziadin and Stewart. The truck, loaded with nine tons of lead shot to test the condition of the roadbase. under weight, was being driven by Martin Parkes accompanied by another highways employee, Dennis Griffiths. Road and weather conditions were dry and there was little cause for concern as they proceeded west. But at 2:30 p.m., as they pass- ed Glacier Lake at the base of, the Bear Glacier, they. would - both have lost their lives had . they not been wearing seat belts. With no-warning, a large rock estimated to. be at least six feet across crashed down: on ‘the front of the truck, destroying all steering and braking capability. Out of control, the vehicle trav- -elled a full 620 feet before com- ing to rest, In the last. 100 feet, the truck traversed 40 feet of the Road condition hot. line. Motorists who want to know what sort of driving conditions ‘they’re going to encounter on a trip before they leave home now have a toll-free number to call. The B.C.

According to Reimche, rx me vehicle, engine and body parts were strewn through a mass of. brake fluid, antifreeze and oil for 500 feet from the point of impact. But the evidence was misleading. Neither occupant of the vehicle sustained serious in- jury. ‘‘Both Martin and Dennis are to be commended for using seat belts which surely saved them severe injury,’ Reiniche concluded in his report. y* “Terrace “Interiors Ltd. _ Exterior and interior paints. _ Armstrong flooring * Harding carpets . _ .
