Sharon promises prompt action

' By DAVID RICHARDSON
Associate editor

If elected mayor, Sharon Biggs will
prepare 4 report on vandalism and show
e taxpayers of Terrace what it fs
em yearly, the mother of three

yo :

“The figures would be astronomical.”’
she. predicted,

Involved with the Justice Council for
the past two years, Biggs is especially
interested in the petty crime that
plagues Terrace and possible measures

might be used to combat it.

Community works projects which are

being used with some success in other ©

municipalities throughout North
America deserve serious study, she
suggests,

- Under such
forced to work off the cost of the
damages they have done with an act of
vandalis

. In addition to being less

‘ costly to society, this method is more
likely to rehabilitate the chronic law-
breaker. than conventional im-
prisonmeént and fines.

‘I understand CUPE (Canadian Union

of Public Employees) is opposed to this —

rograms, juvenile are’

kind of program because they say it is
taking a job away from one of their

members, but I don’t understand that

way of thinking. ;
“This whole idea needs more con-
sideration,” she said,
Prior to coming to Terrace, Biggs

- lived in Kitimat where she ran for a seat
.. 0 the school board and was defeated.

While there, she wrote a regular column
for the steelworkers er and was

_ active in civic affairs,

Before Kitimat, the Biggs lived in the
een Charlotte Islands. At Juskatla
damp Biggs was largely responsible for-
pressuring MacMillan Bloedel into
improving the town's sanitation system.
“algo, it was through my organization

that we had a community center built ~

there,” she said.

With her three children grown, the

 mayoralty candidate says she has the
time to hucte to the ice which she

would like to'see expanded to a full-time
pesition. .
if elected, she says, she will study the

question of a full-time mayor and report .
her findings to the voters by November —

when the regular municipal election
takes ;

e

will certainly go along with whatever the
facts and the voters indicate. Even if we
don’t go to the full-time mayor, I will

probably run for the office anyway.” she
. ga .

Terrace, at present, is jus coming out
of a. slump, Biggs noted, and it is
therefore, imperative ‘‘that we get hold

. of ourselves now.’

The mayor, she views, as the co-
ordinator, the council as the institutor

| and the administration as the im-

mentor of policy. When any one of
bodies fails, the whole procedure
of local government fails and that, she
insists, is what has happened'in the
otwn's recent past. ‘
“I'm afraid in the last few years we
have had precious little co-ordination,”
she said

Biggs told the Herald she has received
indications that Terrace “is ready for a
erathe aor I tting is not just

said.

_ She proposes to encourage the growth
of touriam and seco Pius Fin the:
town and make h “available” to .

the public if she.is entrusted with the
.town’s most important political office.
