AB - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, June 25, 2003 @ Road work A POLICE car and a taxi were vandalized as RCMP shut down an out-of-control high school graduation party which saw between 300-400 young people whooping it up at a north Terrace home recently. Police were called to 4635 Willow Creek Drive around midnight June 8 after receiving a complaint from a neighbour. “Apparently the home- owners had moved from the property a while ago and they don't reside at the property. The son was staying there and he had some people over without his parents' knowledge,” says RCMP Cnst. Natasha Roberts. Four RCMP officers and two auxiliary police constables arrived at the party at 12:30 a.m. and kept on eye on the partiers until the homeowner was able to arrive later. Police said there were several confrontations be- tween officers and intoxi- cated partiers, but no phy- sical altercations hap- pened. “Once the partygoers understood that the owners of the house wanted it shut DARREN HOFFOS, of Skeena Project Services, surveys Walsh Ave. for upgrading being done next to Skeena Jr. Secondary School.

We call it a clear zone and it is narrow where those tracks are.” Even for seasoned travellers of the road, the prospect of having a large truck bearing down on one side and a train on the other can be a daunting experience.
