Highway
cleared

WORKERS USED dynamite
to clear a rock slide that
blocked Hwyl6 between
Prince Rupert and Terrace at
Carwash Rock for approxi-
mately six hours Nov. 22.

A huee slab of rock broke
off above the highway and
shattered into pieces when it
hit the road, says highways
manager Linda Zurkirchen.

The tail end of a passing
logging truck was hit, causing
ils load to spill over the high-
way, she added. There were
no injuries to the driver.

Highways ministry scaling
crews were at the site after-
ward to remove more rack be-
fore it had a chance to fall.

A night out

LOCAL BUSINESSMAN

eventful night on Sterling
Mountain north of here alter

tion and location to a second
helicopter that was in the area.

The pilot had survival gear
on board and was rescucd the
next moring by another
helicopter. A snowmobile res-
cue team headed into the area
hours after the crash but was
