A2 - The Terrace Standard, Wecnesday. ay 3, 1996 STOP Press FROM FRONT Horses disease watched HORSE OWNERS in the Terrace area are being asked to keep their horses at home following an out- break in the north of a mysterious disease. At least 15 horses in Terrace have been infected so far. The disease first appeared i in the Houston and Bums Lake area. Initial symptoms are little pimple-like bunips on the horse's tongue. These pimples can then tum into blisters and may be accompanied by heavy salivation. The horse's appetite may also be affected. “They don't eat 100 per cent, but it shouldn't have too much of an impact,” said Terrace vet David Farkvam. He doesn’t yet know what's causing the disease, but warns that it could be transmittable to people, cattle, sheep and goats, “Yd be very diligent about my hygiene and handle their mouths with gloves,” said Farkvam, However the disease is not “foot in mouth disease” as some people feared, and it is not vesicular stomatitis or any type of herpes disease. A bleach solution should kill the disease, he added. School rebuild frozen THE REPLACEMENT of Skeena Jr. Secondary School is one of many projects frozen last week by the provincial government. The six-month freeze on capital spending is part of finance minister Andrew Petter’s budget announcement, in which he said the election was a signal that voters want the government to pay closer attention ta the debt and deficit. The only projects stil going ahead are ones in which legal contracts are already signed and the pro- vince is committed to carry out the work. Loggers target Orenda deal * opportunily to put on additional pres- sure,’? said Carle. Giesbrecht, who has asked the forests minister to look into what can be done about Repap’s payment policy, says he’s not surprised it’s been raised in connection with the licence hearings. ‘Any forest licence tansfer in the north is going to raise issues, because it's part of a land claim area and its a resource that various groups take ownership of,”’ Giesbrecht said. ‘*There isn’t a lot of forest harvest land left — (people in the region) FROM FRONT wanl to make sure there are jobs for their areas.” Repay's proposal to buy Orenda, an- nounced carly this year, was put on hold until after the provincial election, ‘Il wants to buy at least 75 per cent of Orenda’s 8.2 million shares and will pay $3 each. The purchase would give Repap control over an additional 342,000 cubic metres of wocdl, and help buffer the loss of.as much as.170,000 cubic metres that goes to the Nisga’a as part of the proposed treaty, Repap will in turn offer the Nisga’a a chance to buy 49 per cent of Orenda. It's the second time in as many years that Orenda has gotten a buyer and made it to the stage of secking the approval of the forests minister. Last year a New York-based con- sortium tabled an offer to buy Orenda — at a higher price — as part of a plan to re-open a closed pulp and paper mill at Gold River. That proposal fell through. Forest licence ownership changes arc evaluated as to whether or not they will contribute to the economic devel- opment and stability of communities. Jury hears murder evidence with the interview.
