Last week’s.tour was Vander .
Zalm’s ‘second visit to the Ter-

| -race area in as many weeks. The

first visit didn’t consist of much
except a stop at the airport anda

_ drive up the Nass Valley to meet

with the Nisga’a Tribal Council.
This won him the distinguished
honor of being the first B.C.
Premier ever to visit the Nass.

The purpose of the trip was to .
. pure P* ” press conference — but there

kick off a tour of 32. Native
villages to meet: with Native-:
tribal councils and’ discuss eco-
nomic and ‘social issues -—. and:
possibly get Native leaders ‘and

this win a few votes by Novem-
ber? Possibly.

When Vander Zalm was asked
about the time frame for the 32
“ meetings, however, he said it
would take about 18 months.
Does this mean he intends to
complete his tour after the next’
election? ‘‘Not necessarily,”
says Vander Zalm.

Following Vander Zalm's trip
to the Nass, he was asked during
a press conference at the Terrace
Airport to shed some light on

Vancouver firm buys ©
out Terrace Paving.

Terrace Paving has been sold
toa Vancouver: resident, Ward
Munsie, . who represents Kyle
Investments.. This; information
comes from Kentron Construc-
tion Ltd. president Lloyd Scott.

Scott says that Terrace Paving
will continue to operate under
that name and have almost ex-

clusive access to the Terrace

‘paving market here — but will

’ no longer produce it’s own as-.

phalt mix at their Terrace plant.
Instead, they-will purchase mix
from the Kentron plant in
Thornhill.

Scott explains that a plant to
produce asphalt mix is the single
biggest expense in the paving

business. It requires at least two
people to operate a front end —

loader and gravel crusher. With
a limited paving market in the
area, he says, both Kentron and
Terrace Paving were losing

money. Under this new arrange-

ment, however, he says that will

change.

Scott says Kentron will be
busy on the Kemano Comple-—

tion Project for several years
and he expects this will mean
Terrace Paving will be able to

-  gontract about 90 percent of all

local paving jobs during that
period. The city currently has

Paving and Kentron; under that
agreement Kentron gets.60 per-
cent of the city’s work while the
remaining 40 percent goes. to
Terrace Paving. Scott says he
expects to contract their share of

the work to Terrace Paving. for ,

the sale and the company’s
former owner, Les Wiebe, was
unavailable for comment at
press time.

with sexual assault.

Twenty-nine-year-old Terrace
resident Daniel Bruneau has
been charged with sexual assault
and will appear in court on Nov.
27 for a preliminary hearing.
Defence attorney Jeff Arndt
says the charge relates to an
offence that is alleged to have
taken place in 1986. Bruneau
will appear before 2 judge with-
out a jury.

Bruneau was also charged
with second degree murder last
May following the discovery of
the body of local teenager Crys-
tal Hogg at the Terrace Airport
last November. He will appear
in court on Sept. 12 for a
preliminary hearing on that
charge. Bail was set in B.C.

Supreme Court last May -at

$25,000. The court, however,

_attached several conditions to. .
his release. He was ordered to.

Usk residence, and was told not

to have any contact with crown —

If the preliminary inquiry into —

which will be held either in the :
