Page 2, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, May 7. 1986 Study to be conducted at Kimberly-Clark TB pulp mill continued from page 1 intends to stay in Canada. '"'The question is the depth of our committment here," he added. There is over $403 mill- ion "tied up in assets" at K-C's Terrace Bay mill, and with a 17 per cent pro- fit margin goal, the local plant is roughly $83 million below target, he explained. Smith joked that since the total labour bill in all of K-C's pulp and forest oper- ations in the area is almost $85 million, he could reach the target by firing everyone at the mill. He then added on a more serious note that "we have to start from where we stand and make progress step by step."' He also added that the original press release, Council continued from page 1 didn't put in a heating system in 1980," Chapman replied. In that year, the Recreation Centre was renovated. "It boils down to wheth- er you want to spend $100,000 or $250,000, and hopefully get some grant money,' Councillor Peter Romanuk said. "'We should also look into the actual costs for our own heating system," Zie- gler suggested. "It would not take 10 years to save that money." '*We could get a consult- ant's study to look at the at the Doors Open at 6 p.m. St. John Berchman's Altar Society Mother's Day Penny Auction Sunday, May 11, 1986 Rossport Community Penny Auction starts at 7:30 p.m. which came out on April 17 and warned that "alter- nate solutions to the prob- lems" are needed, was not issued to scare anyone or to '"'break the union."' "The plain fact is, if you're working for a sick company, you've got a sick facing large expense building and get some op- tions," Simons said. The existing heating lines date back to 1972 and 1973. Council then passed a motion which resolved that as a result of the impending notice of termination of the heat supply by Birchwood Terrace, Council will in- vestigate the availability of grant funding for an indep- endent heating system for the Recreation Centre. Council will also invest- igate the costs of such a system. Later in the meeting, Council also passed a mot- ion to apply to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for a Planning Study Grant to assist the town with preparation of Official Plan amendments relating to Site Plan Con- trol Policies, Community Improvement Policies, and Heart & Stroke Foundation available from Anna McKie 8 Hazel Lang 8 Beth McAdam 824-2854 RAFFLE Township of Terrace Bay SPRING CLEAN-UP 1986 The week of May 12th to May 16th, 1986 will"be "SPRING CLEAN-UP WEEK" in Terrace Bay.

Council agreed to meet on May 13 to discuss the re- quest by local Public Works Department employees to negotiate for a first contract. The next day, Council will meet with representatives from the Canadian Union of Public 'Employees. That date has yet to be con- firmed with the Union. May 23 to June 1 was declared as Physical Ac- tivity Week by Council, with May 23 designated as Sneaker Day. Clean-Up Week in the township will be held from May 12 to 16. Questions asked continued from page 1 asked and everybody should be able to discuss these (things) with us," she said. "Council should have input."' Desrosiers did point out that Permanent Concrete is unable to go ahead with its plans because the provinc- ial government has refused the permit, but he was still upset that the town had iss- ued the permit anyway. "*You people are elected to run this town,"' he said. "They (Permanent Con- crete) won't even be em- ploying one person from Terrace Buy."' The Permanent Concrete permit application had been made by Randy Mercure of Terrace Bay on April 23. Simons noted that the permit had already been signed by the town's Building Inspector even before Desrosiers had come. in with his com- plaint and request. "'Now I'm wondering about the powers of Coun- cil,' Reeve Chapman said. 'Do we have nothing to say on the issuing of permits?"' "'T just wanted you to have a look at this before it was issued," Desrosiers said. "I wasn't asking you to refuse it."' Baker, who was at the Council meeting, pointed out he had made a number of phone calls to see if he could refuse the Permanent Concrete application. 'At that point you should have said this should go to Council,"' Reeve Chapman told Simons and Baker. "There is no provision (for us) to refuse," Simons responded. "'T just want to make it quite clear that this is not over,"' Desrosiers said just before leaving the meeting. 100 years for Schreiber P.O. The 100th anniversary of the Schreiber Post Off- ice will be celebrated next month with coffee and cake to be served to a number of invited guests, including Cochrane-Superior MP Keith Penner.

'*We have an economic problem...we are all in it together,' Smith added. **All you have to do is have your mind open to change and keep a_ positive attitude." He noted that many of the mills the company has had to shut down over the years have been older ones, with employees resistant to change. "Right now the Terrace Bay mill is one of the old- est in the K-C family," he pointed out. During the subsequent question and answer period, Keith Rogerson, the Vice-President of Local 665 of the United Paper- workers International Un- ion, said what might be a contributing problem is the high ratio of managers to workers in the mill. "In the woodlands it is 3.5 workers to one manager, and (in the mill) it's 3.1 workers per man- ager," he told Smith, add- ing the Federation of Labour has suggested that a realistic ratio is 10 workers to each manager. '*We're going to have to find out," Smith replied, suggesting that the study will do just that. Gilles Pouliot, Lake Ni- igon Riding MPP, had a chance to speak at the meeting, and he said he was seeking assurances from Smith that the comp- any will "endeavour to investigate all possibible avenues of assistance."' **Give us a chance to act," Pouliot suggested. "*Give the federal and pro- vincial governments a chance to act."' '*You've got it," Smith replied. Pouliot had visit- ed the Terrace Bay mill last month as part of a study group headed up by the Minister of Northern Af- fairs and Mining, Rene Fontaine. Frank Hurley, the inter- national representative for the union Local, also spoke at the meeting, and told Smith that he was '"'very disappointed" with the way Smith had used the media as a "negotiating tool." "'T wish I could manipul- ate the press the way you may believe I am," Smith responded. "It simply isn't true."" Hurley said that he is confident the operation in Terrace Bay is firm and that the union Local is. more than willing to sit down with the company. At the end of the meeting, Smith again told the crowd that no im- mediate action would be taken by the company at the mill, aside from the study which he said should be completed as soon as possible. (Further details were un- available at press time, as copies of Smith's speech were not distributed until after the second meeting on May 3, which took place following the week- ly deadline for the News.)
