Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, May 21, 1986, page 5 Almost everything went wrong, says K-C Chairman (This is the second in a series of articles based on a copy of a speech given by Kimberly-Clark Chairman of the Board and Chief Ex- ecutive Officer Darwin E. Smith, as presented at a public meeting in Terrace Bay on May 3. The first in- stalment appeared in last week's issue of the News.) What went wrong--and how can we continue to live with these results, par- Terrace Bay Police Report A theft of over $1,000 in equipment, including a propane cylinder and heater is currently being in- vestigated by the Terrace Bay Police Force. A recent Police Force news release noted that during the first half of May there also was a break and enter at the local residence in which a large amount of money was stolen. An area gas station was also broken into,the release added. The Block Parent Pro- gram, which only began a few weeks ago in Terrace Bay, has already reaped some rewards, of a sort. The police report noted that a complaint of an indecent exposure by a male was Confusion published "'We've had some pro- blems in the past, and these have been reinforced by ar- ticles in the press," On- tario Hydro spokesman Gabe Fritzen explained at a Terrace Bay Township Council meeting on May 12, adding that many local residents assume that the Ontario Hydro office in Schreiber is responsible for what does or does not hap- pen in Terrace Bay. "The impresssion that might've been left with people is one that they should contact Ontario Hydro (in Schreiber) if they have problems, and that is certainly not the case,'" he told Council. '*We are involved as a con- tractor only. People should contact the township office first." He said this is the case for either Schreiber or Ter- race Bay. "*I assume the press will straighten this matter out," ticularly when we see more of the same, even though there is modest strengthen- ing in the pulp market? First, as to what went wrong, the answer is--al- most everything. To begin with, the expansion cost $70 million more than originally anticipated. Second, pulp prices came nowhere near to keeping pace with infla- received through the pro- gram. The culprit had left the scene upon arrival of the police, and to date he has not been identified by the children involved. Police also investigated a motor vehicle accident in- volving damages over $700. No charges were laid. In other police matters during the month, a charge was laid against a motorcy- cle driver under the Highway Traffic Act for improper licence and fail- ing to register. A complaint was receiv- ed regarding a noisy party causing a disturbance and was settled upon arrival of police. An incident of Reeve Ollie Chapman said. The Terrace Bay-Schreiber News was the only representative of the media present at the meeting. In the April 2 issue of the News, a township resident appeared before Council and complained that a broken street light near his home had not been replac- ed in over six months. At that time Reeve Chap- man said the fault for the problem does not entirely lie with the township and the resident should "raise hell" with Ontario Hyddro instead. The township has its own hydro department. Later at the meeting a letter from the Terrace Bay office of Kimberly-Clark of Canada was read. In the letter, Planning Supervisor J.E. Boucher pointed out that from 2 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 24, the townsite will be supplied with water from the com- pany's Emergency Pum- Library Date: Tuesday, June 3rd Time: 4:00 p.m. Place: Schreiber Public School, contact For further information, please our representative in your area: Mrs. Barbara Spadoni Telephone: 824-2761 All registrants are required to pay a non-refundable deposit of $50 per course.

Today's market price for our softwood kraft grade of pulp is substantial- ly below the price an- ticipated at the time the ex- pansion was approved. Third is the cost of limit wood--of which the two largest parts are labour and maintenance materials. The cost of wood is about 42 percent of the total cost of producing pulp, and is way out of line compared to the wood cost of competitive pulps--a subject I will ex- plain further in a moment. Fourth, the cost of mill operations is substantially more than originally plann- ed. Today there are substantially more people in the pulp mill than were planned when the project was approved. In summary, and with the benefit of 20/20 hind- sight, the projections made unlawful entry was also in- vestigated, and the parties involved resolved the pro- blem without any further action taken by police. Several subpoenas and summonses were served and a Warrant of Commit- tal executed. One com- plaint of nuisance phone calls was received, and the person involved was advis- ed as to what course of ac- tion to take in such cases. Two incidents of welfare being requested by tran- sients were attended to and the persons involved assisted accordingly. Police attended to a neighbour despute regar- phouse on the Aguasabon River. 'This is routine," clerk- treasurer Larry Simons told Council. "It happens once a year." Councillor Peter Romanuk explained that the switch in water supply has to do with a Kimberly- Clark maintenance shut- down. The letter warned that during the scheduled period on May 24 there may be a change in the water pressure in the town. A letter from Lake Nipigon MPP Gilles Pouliot was also read, and in it Pouliot told Council that its *21,000 subsidy from the Ministry of Transportation and Som- munications had been recently approved. The 'money will go towards the operation of the township's continued on page 6 ding trespassing and the matter was taken care of by the involved people. One bicycle that had been found was turned in along with a report of a lost wallet. A hunting dog, carrying a radio transmitter on his collar, was reported miss- ing by a hunter from the United States. Any infor- mation regarding this dog would be appreciated. Police located a person who had gone missing from Birchwood Terrace and returned the person to the residence. A report was received of a necklace which was lost the night of May 15 by one of the Kinsmen volunteers assisting with the Child Identification Program at the Curling Club Lounge. Should anyone find this item, it would be ap- preciated if it was turned into the Police office. MN, by Ly Se BEFORE YOU BUY... LET'S COMPARE MAYBE WE CAN SAVE YOU '""MONEY" ON AUTO & HOME CALL NO CHARGE 1-800-465-3916 - LAMBERT 278 N. CUMBERLAND STREET THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO P7A 4K9 at the time the expansion project was authorized bad- ly missed the mark. We thought that pulp prices and costs of manufacture would keep pace with inflation. In 1985, the price of pulp was $249 per ton lower than an- ticipated, while the cost of manufacture was $150 per ton higher. This means that we realized about $400 per ton less than planned. When you multiply that by 384,000 tons, the annual shortfall is almost unbelievable. Equally frustrating was the dramatic shift in the company's originally an- ticipated need for kraft pulp produced at Terrace Bay. At that time, we foresaw the ability of our U.S. operations to consume more than the total of the kraft pulp which could be produced at Terrace Bay. But the passage of time has changed all that. _ Some novel tissue form- ing techniques requiring great quantities of LL-19 failed to result in accep- table consumer products. Other new or improved products required different pulp--such as hardwood. Then it developed that eucalyptus pulp was much superior for our needs than the pulp we could produce from the poplar stands here in this part of Ontario. These were not matters of our~choosing. They were mandated by comp- etition which, in turn, is an expression of consumer choice. Please do not misunders- tand me. The dedication of many of our people to the quality management pro- cess has recently resulted in the production of excellent quantities of some of the best bleached kraft soft- wood pulp in Canada, with the hint that if we can per- suade all concerned to adopt the quality manage- ment process as a way of life, we can consistently make an even better pro- duct. Sadly, however, we no longer need or can economically consume the full output of the mill. Presently, we forecast AT YOUR SERVICE Gilles Pouliot, MPP Lake Nipigon Helping You Is My Job! that on a sustained basis we can consume slightly over half of the production at Terrace Bay. I am trying to increase this amount; how- ever, I cannot compel our other units to use pulp which will result in final products inferior in quali- ty to those of the compet- ition. What this means is that if Terrace Bay is to remain as part of Kimberly-Clark, we must now look at it as a market pulp mill. This is true because the company can buy all the pulp it needs from others at very comp- etitive prices--without making any investment whatsoever. Thus Terrace Bay/Longlac becomes like any other independant business--it must survive out there in the magket place. Otherwise, there isn't much choice--the fac- ilities must be sold either in whole or in part, or shut down either in whole or in part.
