may move here
A NEUROLOGIST could be
based in Terrace by next spring.

heads a large hospital neurology
department, wants to move here
to get away from the city and
closer to more rural living, ac-
cording to Terrace Dr. Bill Red-
ph

that people of this stature are be-
ginning to’ relocate here for life-
style reasons,’” Redpath said.

The new neurologist would
have an office in the new Park
Ave. Medical Centre, now under
constriction, and would establish
a Tegional ‘neurology referral ser-
vice based here.

He still needs to get hospital
privileges here,

Redpath said the service would
be much more convenient, for
northwesterners whe often must
travel. to Prince George or Van-
couver for neurology referrals.

Mills Memorial Hospital has
not supported the clinic’s request
for permission to, build.an x-ray
lab, because of concerns a com-
petiting service could hurt the
hospital’s budget.

Also planning to relocate to the
new medical centre here are a

husband and wife pair of general ©

tinues to rise, and Redpath is still
hoping it will be open Mar. 1. |

@ Paint swapped

AT LEAST 40 people — including Mary and Benjamin Haigh — - stopped at the B.C. Paint
Care Association's mobile paint exchange truck Sept. 19 to drop off old paint and maybe take
something they need. The program is aimed at diverting ald paint containers from the landfills.

More money in recycling

THE ECONOMICS of recycling
may have improved since the
Skeena. Valley ~=—-—- Recycling
Society’ s depot shut down nearly
three years ago,

A’ Kitimat recycler says the
depot operated by Kitimat Under-
standing the. Environment
(KUTE) is getting a good retum
now on newsprint and cardboard.

‘We're not making gobs of
money,’ Wendy Clement said.
*‘But we're certainly able to stay
afloat.’?

She said cardboard prices have

_Tisen to the point that many

Kitimat suppliers to the depot
have started marketing — their
cardboard elsewhere and pocket-
ing the profit themselves.

Councillor David Hull said he’s

heard people in Vancouver are
now stealing cardboard out of the
dumpsters for the recycling value.

“It’s a very volatile market,’
Clement added,

Newsprint is recycled at
Eurocan’s pulp and paper mill in
Kitimat. ;

KUTE plans io set up a ance-a-

month branch depot in Terrace in
the form of a truck parked on the
Skeena Mal! parking lot.

Clement said she hopes the
depot could be open here by late
October,

She said they’re also going to

: be looking for Terrace volunteers

to work with KUTE in operating
the Terrace depot. .

The last recycling depot to op-
erate in Terrace closed around
Christmas 1992 because it was
unable to make esough money to
pay rent on its warehouse.
