News In Brief Politicos weigh in on SCI TIlE B.C. Unity Party last week urged the govern- ing Liberals to rethink their methods in selling Skeena Cellulose. It said the government's rush to conclude a deal with Swiss-based Mercer International and keep talks closed to other bidders makes no sense. "The government is hell bent on rushing its deci- sion in favour of what appears to be, in many re- spects, an inferior proposal compared to others that have come forward," said leader Chris Delaney. He said the strategy flies in the face of Liberal claims that more competition is better on issues from auto insurance to B.C. Hydro. "They are unwilling to apply the same logic," he said. Unity forestry critic Rod Taylor, who is an SCI employee, said the process underway now has the look of "NDP-style insider deal making." "By acting rashly they may be throwing the baby out with the bathwater," Taylor said. "After five years what is another 90 days?" More white stuff up high SNOWPACK LEVELS are slightly ahead of the long-term average. That's the message from Michael Schuster, Alcan spokesman.

1- :ound Town Medical equipment heads to Honduras ROTARY CLUBS around the world team up to assist the World Help Network in distributing surplus medical equipment to countries thai desperately need it. On Nov. 24, members of the Terrace Rotary Club loaded a transport truck with old medical equipment, donated by Mills Memorial Hospi- tal. From Terrace the equipment was shipped to a central warehouse in Vancouver. The equip- ment was then sorted and loaded in a shipping container and is now on its way to Tocoa, Honduras. Once in Tocoa, the local Rotary club will work with the World Help Network in distribu- ting the shipment. The Rotarians thank Bandstra Transporta- tion Systems LTD. for transporting the equip- ment to Vancouver.
