AS Terrace Review — Wednesday, September 11, 1991 To the Editor; Why are we agonizing through a Major Project Review of another Orenda pulp and paper mill prospectus? In medieval times it was consid- ered necessary, if a person died before judgement could be deliv- ered, to exhume the convicted corpse and hang, burn, or behead them anyway. In keeping with this bizarre bureaucratic tradition, ‘tthe MPRP continued inexorably onward — eventually publishing its decision on Orenda’s first pro- posal (to site the mill near - Meziadin) long after Orenda had_ _abandoned the scheme. If Orenda’s objective going into its Meziadin prospectus review was to gain ‘approval in princi- ple’ for its project, it flopped. Many of the government review- Totem Saddle Club details its ing agencies reported that the prospectus was inadequate, that more information was required before such approval could be considered. Several agencies rec- ommended a Stage II process, which can involve an independent review panel and full public hear- ‘ings. The federal government. specifically recommended that the Stage II review “include addi- tional information” and “more extensive opportunities for public participation and a mechanism for dealing with native interests”. Environment Canada noted that “the adequacy of long-term fibre supply from the Kalum North timber supply area (where Orenda proposes to get the wood for its -mill) and the adequacy of re- source planning throughout the harvest area... must be better _ Letters to the ~Has the MRPR revived.a mediev resolved”. B.C. Environment was similarly concemed that “Forest Resource Planning in. the Kalum North TSA is inadequate. Studies on fisheries, wildlife, sensitive habi- tats, recreational use, visual impacts, wilderness values, etc., have not been carried out”. Both environment departments recom- mended Stage II reviews. The terms of reference for the review of the Meziadin proposal — dictated by the mandarins on the Major Project steering com- mittee in Victoria —- restricted that review to “the pulp and paper mill and the site on which it is sit- uated”. That the two environment ministries insisted on ignoring that restriction suggests very seri- ous concerns about resource plan- support of local businesses To the Editor; ‘On behalf of the Totem Saddle Club and the Timberland Horse Show, I would like to answer a letter published in the Sept. 4 issue of the Terrace Review. It is true that we don’t buy our ribbons and trophies locally, but it is the only thing our club pur- chases outside of Terrace. Our canteen uses local distributors for its bread, hamburgers, coffee and other food and beverages sold there. The lumber and supplies - needed to repair and build fences __ and barns is bought locally. Our grandstands, replaced in the past three years, were built by a local shop and cost $1,500 to $2,000 each, The equipment used to spread hogfuel. in the riding rings and to haul debris and manure away were owned by local com- panies who we paid to do the work. Yes, we do ask for donations from the businesses of Terrace, but, this spring we asked once, in the form of a letter, and have raised other funds needed our- selves. We’ve had two horse shows, one of them the Timber- land, several riding clinics, a garage sale, and run our canteen at shows and gymkhanas to make money. We have one big trophy order per year at the Timberland horse show during Riverboat Days, and when we used a local business years ago, it was so much more than what we usually paid, we decided to go back out of town. We did buy trophies locally for our annual gymkhana on the Fall Fair weekend though. Heritage Park closes To the Editor; As the 1991 summer season at Heritage Park Museum is draw- ing to a close, the Terrace Regional Museum Society would like to thank all the people who contributed to the successful sum- mer. — We extend a special thank you to the donors of artifacts to the Museum Society during 1991 for the Heritage Park Museum. Also, a special thank you to the people who contributed their talents to The crowds came out the park and to the local citizens and businesses who donated flowers, helped with the dry cleaning, the rental piano and the purchases and services needed to keep our park beautiful and active. We look forward to continuing our effort to preserve the early history and artifacts of our region. | | Aileen Frank, secretary, Terrace Regional Museum Society. for Loggers’ Sports To the Editor; ~ We at the Terrace Downtown - Lions Club would like to say thank you for the great promotion you gave to our Loggers’ Sports before the Fall Fair weekend. We truly believe that your coverage helped peak interest in our show. “As a strvice urganization who supports local projects, we appre-_ ciate your help in bringing out the crowds who support us and in turn, support the organizations we help with the money we raise. Sharalyn Palagian, Terrace Downtown Lions, Loggers’s Sports Chairperson. Our club is always short of money and workers. Our mem- bership is small and consists of mainly kids and teens. There are eight of us who plan our events and keep the club going. Next year all our fences need replac- ing. If we can save $200 on tro- phies by buying out of town, I think most people can under- stand, We will make sure, in the future, that-we check our prices more closely and give local businesses a chance to compete. I just want- ed to write and let people know that our club does support local business and we are proud to be part of this community. Cathy Jackson, director, Totem Saddle Club, . Terrace.

The Resource Manage- ment Plan for Kalum North will | not be ready before 1993. Until then, we would have to expect — barring more interference from al tradition? | Victoria — that B.C, Environ- ment and Environment Canada will continue to deny Orenda its “approval in principle” and con-. tinue to insist on full Stage Il hearings. So why are we agonizing through a Major Project. Review of another Orenda pulp and paper mill prospectus?
