By Allyson Reid This coming May will mark the Sixth Anniversary for Stella Gusola and her upholstery business she operates in Terrace Bay. S. G's Upholstery shop is located on Radisson Avenue below the Credit Union office. Stella told the News that she was "*fascinated by watching people strip and reupholster furniture." After Stella realized that she had such an interest, she enrolled in 13 upholstery courses and she said she thoroughly enjoyed each of them. Stella said she started her upholstery career by working at Birchwood Terrace. She had her own rented room where she did sewing and seamstress work. Stella also reupholstered the fur- niture in the lobby of Birchwood Terrace. Needed more room Although Stella enjoyed her work at Birchwood, she found herself to be very cramped. When she heard that a bigger room was up for dibs (where she is now) she jumped at the chance to open her own shop there, she said. She has been working in her pre- sent shop since Februray of 1985. She said she always finds herself very busy. Stella reupholsters couch sets, chairs, and various other furniture items. Her customers come from Marathon to the east and Red Rock from the west and they are always pleased with her work. In her shop, Stella has many sample books of coverings that can be ordered for her customers' con- venience. She orders the requested coverings from Winnipeg and other Above is Stella from S.G.

Lavallet stated that he is open to suggestions of someone buying and running the mill as long as that operation does not adversely affect the pulp mill's operations. Lavallet's primary concerns now, he said, are to "'protect ma- jor operation [pulp mill] and to save jobs."' Countervailing duty negative The release sent to all employees of Kimberly-Clark summed up the announcement in a nutshell. Part of the release stated that 101 jobs 'The 15 per cent countervailing duty on lumber announced October 22, 1986, had a heavy negative impact on sawmill profitability. Although we had considered the possibility of changing the sawmill operation to a seven-day schedule, we have now concluded that the unavailability of a sufficient and economical supply of sawlogs makes any attempt at such an operation impractical. '"'We sincerely regret that this serious action had become necessary. We will do our best to assist the af- fected employees in all reasonable ways possible." The release was signed by Jack L. Lavallet, president of K-C of Canada and general manager of the Terrace Bay mill. ADVERTISING DOESN' IT PAYS!!! _TRY IT and SEE Call Betty at the VMEWS T COST! 825- 3747 | towns from the east. It will be six years this May that Stella has operated her upholstry business. Not one of her customers has ever complained about her work, she said. This customer satisfaction is probably the result of the fact that Stella takes her time while doing her work. Her husband Harry calls her "fussy" when she works. Stella is quite pleased with her shop presently, and has no future plans relating to renovations or expansion. From Thunder Bay Before living in Terrace Bay, as she has for the past 30 years, Stella and her husband of 41 years resid- ed in Thunder Bay.
