By CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Staff Writer The tone of technical hearings into Celgar Pulp Co.’s expansion proposal changed abruptly Thursday afternoon as one of Celgar’s lawyers peppered a consultant for the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans with i on the of his courtroom-like atmosphere during the first day of hearings. Thursday was devoted to the issue of wood chip supply for an expanded pulp mill. The study, commissioned by the federal department, concludes that Celgar will have to cut aboitt 3,000 hectares per year of pulpwood from Pul; dA No. 9 to meet study concerning wood chip supply. Brian Wallace’s exami ion of the study by Ray Travers during 45 minutes of questioning gave the Hi Arrow Motor Inn banquet room a creased fibre demands if the $650 million expansion and modernization of the Castlegar mill is approved. Lorne Parnell, vice-president of Power Consolidated (China) Pulp Charters returns Inc.,. one of Celgar’s parent /com- panies, told the panel conducting the review into Celgar’s proposal that company officials have some “‘serious concerns’’ about the study. For thé sake of the study, Travers assumed the available residual chip supply was zero, Parnell pointed out. “The chances of this (the chip sup- ply not existing) is remote to say the least,’’ Parnell told the panel. Forestry consultants have said a chip supply greater than double the amount Celgar will need for the ex- “‘We've inched our way along a continuum that’s very, very lengthy.

The ministry could not allow Celgar to cut more than the yearly limit placed on the pulpwood agreement without contravening the Forestry Act; said Jalius"Sumasz, the director of the timber harvesting branch. Juhasz made the comments Thursday during the first day of technical hearings on Celgar’s provincial Major Project Review Process guidelines are also being followed. In response to a question from McGee, Juhasz said a strong pulp market can have an effect on the an- nual allowable cut a forestry company is granted. If a timber company can sell pulp logs at a profit it will be willing to log im areas it had previously ruled out, since they are high in so-called decadent, or decaying, trees that can be used only by a pulp mill, Juhasz said. In that case, the company could be granted a larger cutting area, he explained. ~~ ¥/ —— Dan Madlusig, general manager of the B.C. southern region for Westar Timber, which sells its wood chips to Ceigar, said a market for his com- pany’s pulp logs “‘closer to home”’ will lessen Westar’s losses but the company will not make moncy. The cost of cutting and transpor- ting decaying trees which are only suitable for pulp production is higher than the revenue generated by selling those logs, Madlung told the panel. Westar must harvest decaying trees under the terms*of its cutting rights for tree farm licence No. 23. Curren- thy, Westar sells its pulp logs to a Cache Creek pulp mill but if Ceigar expands company officials have said il ill be pulp logs. Westar would cut its losses selling please see pege AZ Proposed $650 million modernization of its Castlegar pulp mill. And before Ceigar could cut the yearly allowance for the pulpwood agreement area, the company would have to satisfy ministry officials that the company could not fulfil its fibre requirements any other way, Juhasz said. Pulpwood agreements are also similar to other forms of cutting licences since the holder of the agreement must provide logging plans that are subject to “‘public input” and must be approved by the ministry, he added During the ministry presentation, conducted by Juhasz and Viggo Holm, a resource consultant with the ministry, questioned by Kenyon McGee, a lawyer representing a number of en- vironmental groups, including the Slocan Valley Watershed Alliance and the Valhalla Society, under an um- brella organization known as the Kootenay Coalition for an EARP.

He said the current fee system makes it difficult for doctors to make a living despite the popular belief that doctors make too much money. By CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Staff Writer Sick people who need to be in acute-care beds at the hospital cost the government more in health-care paymen- ts than preventative measures designed to treat people before their problems become serious, the Royal Com- mission on Health Care and Costs was told during a day of hearings in Castlegar. Representatives of the Castlegar and District Chapter of the Regi: d Nurses A iation of B.C. that community walk-in clinics or changes.to the way people are handled at the hospital could save money in costs by providing information and fielding questions that currently require billing if dealt with at the hospital. One nurse, Connie Harborne, told the commission about a woman who came to the emergency room to find out if her child could get AIDS from swimming in a pool with a child who might have the disease. The woman's question could have been answered over the phone rather than through a hospital visit, she said. “We believe nurses have a greater role to play in the quest for optimal client care, including assisting clients to take responsibility for their own health to achieve a high level of wellness,’ the nurses’ brief said. Hospital beds that should be used for acutely ill patients are being given to people who should be in a dif- ferent kind of care facility or situation — such as a long- term care or home care — or who do not need to remain in hospital for so long, nurses association president Roberta Hamilton said. However, commission member Robert Evans, a health economist and health research scientist at the University of B.C., noted that Castlegar and District Hospital generally has about 50 per cent of its acute-care beds full at any one time and questioned how much incen- tive that statistic would provide to local health-care Professionals to work on freeing up beds being used by people who could be cared for elsewhere. A presentation by the Castlegar school board echoed some of the themes of the riurses’ brief. The Ministry of Health is more like a ‘‘department of disease’’ right now since it deals mainly with people who are already sick and in need of care, school board trustee Mickey Kinakin told the commission. Being a ministry of health is ‘‘far less costly’’ than being a ministry of disease, he said. - The ministries of Education and Health should work together to promote healthy lifestyles through the school system as well as provide means to help prevent health Problems from starting or getting out of hand, Kinakin said. Public health nurses’ should work through the Presentations were also made by the Central Kootenay Health Unit, Castlegar and District Community Services Centre, Castlegar and District Home Support Service, Castlegar Hospice Society, Kootenay Health Ser vices Task Force, Kootenay Columbia Child Care Society, Dr. Stephen Maskall, a chiropractor, and Filip Manzhov, a naturopathic physician. Evans, speaking to reporters after the hearings, said the commission hopes to make specific recommendations on the B.C. health car€’system that will result in changes the average person will notice. The panel is independent of the provincial gover- mment and can make whatever recommendations it chooses, he said.
