Terrace Review — March 13, 1992

stonewalling and runaround. Some of us have
installed up-to-date standard systems: that work at
best for a few weeks. "

All this was finally brought to a head Feb. 4,
1992 when one resident was given a cease and desist
order by Public Health. He was given until Feb, 29,
1992 to comply with the order.

The solution proposed by Public Health ta, his
problem was described by a local contractor as 30
stupid that it is beneath contempt. Its cost is royghly
$10,000 and the contractor wouldn't guarantee that
it would work. Of course Public Health has ignored
the fact that this is the only homeowner in the area
who has enough property to even install the system. :
So, at best, if the system worked for this homeowner,
none of the rest of us have sufficient land area. to
install it. _

It is patently obvious to anyone with even, a.
modicum of intelligence that the only solution lies i in
a community disposal system. Yet Mr. Robin Blencoe,
Minister of Municipal Affairs, has publicly stated
that funding for a system will only be available if we
amalgamate with Terrace. This imbecilic. proposal
completely ignores that we have residents who are
facing possible eviction today! Also, the health risks
as outlined in a report by Public Health include
typhoid, cholera, hepatitis, salmonella and a host of
others I can’t even pronounce.

What is the matter with these people i in Victoria?
When you see the bureaucrats playing politics with
a situation this serious, it is not hard to understand
why the word "politician" has taken on the connota-
tion of a curse word. .

VICIOUS, COSTLY CIRCLE.

To the Editor;
In the past month people have witnessed the fall,
of the Cassiar asbestos mine which in turn affects.
Stewart in a great way, because Arrow drivers haul
the asbestos from Cassiar to Stewart. The ashestos is |
then loaded onto a barge and taken to Vancouver..

In total over 40 people from Stewart are
employed, including truck drivers, longshoremen and
tug boat operators. Each employee who relocates is
accompanied by a family, which will have a signifi-
cant impact on the Stewart economy, therefore
causing other companies to fail. It is a vicious circle
in which everything is affected.

With all of these employees going on unemploy-
ment, along with the over 400 people from Cassiar,
you would think it would have been just as good for
the economy to keep the mine going until a majority
of the employees were equipped with jobs and a way
to support their families.
