Walk safe

TERRACE RCMP want
young women to be careful
when walking alone, after
recciving reports that six

to 12 women were fol- -

lowed by an unknown man
in the last 10 weeks.

All of the women, in
their late teens and early
twentics, thought the inci-
dents were suspicious and
calied police.

The women have de-
scribed different men in
different vehicles and no
one was injured in the re-
ported incidents.

The complaints are not
confined to one area of the
city, said Terrace RCMP
Cnst. Liz Douglas.

She advised women to
be careful and observant.

“Don’t walk alone,” she
said. “If you do, call
people and let them know
you’re coming, take a cab
or have someone pick you
up.”

She also said it’s safer
to walk down lit, well-tra-
velled streets, and if tailed

downtown, walk to the

RCMP detachment. ,

“As always, get as ‘good
a description of the vehi-
cle and licence plate num-
ber as you can, Douglas
said.

School
robbed

RCMP are looking for your
help in the March 3 break
and enter at Thornhill Ju-
nior Secondary School,

Sometime after 11 p.m.
March 3 and 9 a.m. March
4 thieves broke a window
in the front door.

Although the school’s
alarm bell sounded, they
went to the school’s main
office, pried open a filing
cabinet and stole two cash
boxes, containing less than
$150,

By the time the security

system alerted RCMP the
thieves were gone.

“They were in and out
in less than four minutes,”

said school principal Fred .

Woods.

The boxes were found
behind the Thornhill ani-
mal shelter, a short dis-
tance away from the
school.

Woods is asking anyone
who saw a two-tone later
model hatchback in the
school’s parking lot after
11 p.m. that Friday night to
call the RCMP.

The stolen money was

to be used to help leader-

ship program students or-
ganize community events.
RCMP believe the
thieves had personal
knowledge of the school
and are asking anyone
with information on this
crime to cail Crime Stop-
pers at 635-TIPS (8477).
All calls are confidential.

ALEXIS AHRENS, who
suffered serious spinal in-
juries in a motor accident
in Venezuela last month,
was transported from a
Miami hespital to Vancou-
ver General Hospital
March 7 to recuperate clo-
ser to her family.

“Ahrens, manager. of
Ground. Works coffee bar,
and her husband Rolf, an
employee at Cypress For-
est Consustants, were hon-

“eymooning in South Amer-

ica when the accident oc-
curred, _

They were passengers
riding in-the back of a
Toyota Landcruiser when
the vehicle drove over an
embankment, throwing the
couple from their seats.

Ahrens broke vertebrae
in her back and neck, and
Rolf fractured his shoulder,
leg and tore knee liga-

hed

ments.

After 17 days in Jack-
son Memorial Hospital in
Miami, where dactors
fused and pinned vertebrae
in her neck, Ahrens re-
quested that she be moved
back to B.C. for rehabilita-
tion.

“Now she’s in an area
where. people can come
see her,” said Ahrens’ bro-
ther Chris Chicgine, - of
Terrace..

He explained that Ah-
rens has regained some
sensation in her lower
back and legs.

“But we don’t know if
it’s feeling or sensation,”
he said. “There's definitely
some hope [that she will
feel her legs again.]”

Chicoine said his sister
also has good use of her
left arm down to her wrist,
but her right shoulder re-

mains broken,

“Right now she has
fecling but no movement
in her hands,” he added,

Chicoine thanked the
community: for the support
shown for his sister and
brother-in-law.

“The generosity from
people: has been over-
whelming,” he said.

Grace Makowski, fram
Northern Savings Credit
Union, said local residents
have donaled thousands of
dollars to a trust fund set
up for the couple.

Although the newly-
weds had traveller’s insur-
ance, which covered their
medical bills, the money
will go towards Alexis’ re-
habilitation treatment,
some of which can’t be re-
covered by medical insur-
ance. Donations will also
go towards Rolf’s living

Alexis Ahrens
expenses in Vancouver
while Alexis remains in
the hospital.

Donation jars are avail-
abie at all the wickets at
Northern Savings Credit
Union and at Ground
Works, People can aiso
donate money to a trust
fund at the credit union.
