INDEPENDENT falling contractors in the Terrace area ~ NORTHERNASSOCIATE say they're being unfairly penalized by the Workers' Compensation Board. The WCI] has increased insurance premiums for manual tree falling and bucking, affecting independent loggers who have formed limited companies to work as contractors, said Mike McKibbin, a local fuller. He said about 200 fullers in the Terrace area are in- eluded in the new WCB classification. The new rates for contract fullers will climb from an average of $7.75 per $100 in wages to more than $20, but McKibbin fears it won't end there. "The main thing is to try to get the brakes slammed on now," he said. The rate for integrated forest companies with staff railers and buckers, meanwhile, will remain at $7.75. "We're being discriminated against," McKibbin said. Loggers affected by the changes were invited to an informational meeting in Terrace Jan. 13, two weeks before the WCB holds its own meeting at its Richmond headquarters about the changes. Oppositi6n to the WCB's rate changes is mounting, McKibbin said. "No other industry in B.C. got touched," he said. He's also angry because he believes the large forest companies forced loggers into becoming contractors to begin with. Conflict advice sought THE COAST Mountains School District is seeking legal advice to determine if Terrace trustee Hal Stedham is in conflict of interest. School trustees have also decided to check with education ministry guidelines to see if Stedham can continue holding public office while working in another school district. Elected in ]999, Stedham has since taken a job in the Stikine school district as principal of the school in Lower Post, a community in northern B;C. near the Yukon border - a 12-hour drive from Terrace, some 860 i ,, w , " " " !
