A12 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, December 3, 1997 = Thieves beware THE TERRACE PUBLIC Library has installed new ant-theft measures in the form of magnetic sensor gates, That means if you walk through the gates like children's librarian Holly Ngyuen is doing here, without checking out your books, an alarm will go off, It cost the library about $13,000 to install the system, and it will take months before staff can finish putting matching magnetic tags in books, cd's and videos ~— about 55,000 items in all. Thousands of dollars in books are stolen every year, so the system should pay for Itself in five to ten years. Escapee caught THE ESCAPE of a prisoner described by police as violent from the local correctional centre has raised questions as to why he was in a minimum security institution in the first place, Cecil Floyd Alfred escaped Nov, 23 and was on the loose for two days before police arrested him at his Kenney St. apartment. Alfred has since been transferred to a correctional facil- ity Prince George. He will likely not be returning to the correctional centre as he is mow considered a higher security risk, “He was considered violent in that he committed a violent act (assault),”’ says Inspector Steve Leach of the Terrace detachment about Alfred. But Patty Walker of the Terrace Correctional Centre says that the police and corrections have different ways of determining the risk an offender poses to the community. “I don’t want to say that he (Alfred) is not violent,’’ she says. ‘He was here on an assault charge, but that’s just one of our classification concerns.”’ Walker says the centre looks at many factors when deciding whether or not to accept a prisoner, including past behaviour. ‘He (Alfred) had been at this centre before without problems,’” she says. ‘“The judge had also recommended that he be close to family.’’ Alfred escaped from the correctional centre on Keith Ave, Nov. 23 by climbing over the barbed-wire fence, He was the first prisoner in more than two years to have broken out of that jail. ny OW SKEENA VALLEY FakneRs MaRKeT GENERAL MEETING The Skeena Valley Farmers Market association will be holding a public meeting at the library meetingroom December § at 7:30 pm.

The move ends an 18-month long dispute in which park owner Enos Kyle installed new units without permits from the city. City staff said they held off taking action to avoid being drawn into arbitration disputes, still outstanding, between Kyle and tenants in the park. But Kyle last month applied for a development permit that would map outa layout for the park. City planner Dave Trawin has approved that layout and council issued the permit last week. That paves the way for city inspectors to examine and approve individual units there. Park owner Enos Kyle wants to be able to place more units within the park. Kyle takes over a city road and services as part of the de- velopment permit. The park, comprised of at least six par- cels of land, is also amalgamated into one property. Terrace Anti Poverty advocates, who have been active in defending the rights of tenants there, asked that the devel- oper pay the costs of changing addresses there. City councillors backed that request and it was written into the development permit. BC Women's is the only health care 1 facility in British Columbia devoted to “4 women and newborns.
