NOB Staff- Northern Ontario could probably double its _ automotive cold-weather testing business if Canada Customs regulations were changed, says a representative of Kaptest Inc. of Kapuskasing. Barbara Reade, business manager of the Kapuskasing testing firm, said current regulations turn away many of the foreign automotive manufacturers who would prefer to use facilities in Northern Ontario. Because of difficulties, delays and costs associated with bringing their products over the Canadian border, however, they choose to do their cold-weather testing in Scan- danavian countries instead, she said. Kaptest has asked the federal government to examine and overhaul the customs regulations that relate to the testing industry. The northern company estimates that there are millions of dollars be- ing lost to the area's economy because of "the onerous system for the temporary importation of testing goods and materials. Reade said the company is laun- ching the campaign on behalf of all the northeastern Ontario testing companies that have grown up rapidly during the past four or five years. Although a positive change in the customs regulations could be a boon to Kaptest, it would also benefit the other companies and the - "Many potential clients are either reluctant to, or simply refuse to come to Canada because of the complexity and cost of complying with the customs regulations."' area as a whole, she said. Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, June 3, 1987, page 7 Cold-weather automotive testing business could double "Everybody is having the same problem."' She stressed the economic im- pact of the new industry on the nor- theastern region. It provides a . growing opportunity for jobs dur- ing the winter, she said, when unemployment is traditionally at its highest. She also saw spinoff benefits to host communities from providing services and accommodations for outside testing crews. "'We (the testing industry) pro- bably would be the biggest industry here in the wintertime,"' she said. In Scandanavia, she said, the governments have tried to streamline their regulations to give easier access and exits to the foreign manufacturers. Humidity in those countries is higher than in North America, however, and Reade believes com- panies would return to Canadian testing grounds if the customs regulations were changed. LAW OFFICES OF Clear the channel The channel at the Terrace Bay beach, shown above top, had to be cleaned out last week so the boats that are launched here could get out to Lake Superior. Terrace Bay Ministry of Natural Resources Conservation Officer, Mike Kenny, shown in the bottom photo above, and Lands Supervisor Jim Nickleson, told the News that an agreement was reached between Bill Donaldson of Ontario Hydro and Will Robinson of the MNR to release the dammed water from Hays Lake. Hydro has a Water Power Lease Agreement with the MNR and has rights to control this - water. The water was released at about 9:30 a.m. last Monday and was to run for five hours to clear the chan- nel of a buildup of sand. The chan- nel down the centre of the boat launch side of the beach was get- ting smaller and smaller resulting in the inability of boats to get through. "Hydro was great" said Lands Supervisor Jim Nickleson. This boat launch is the only good launch site from here to Rossport. eae EDWIN W.
