A12- The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, October 4, 2000 Hawes leaves the northwest for new home down south LINDA HAWES won’t be running for the nomination for the Liberal party in Skeena in anticipation of the nexl provincial election. After living in practically every northwest communily since moving here with her family to Hazelton as a young teenager, Hawes is leaving the region. Her husband, optometrist Vic Hawes, died in the spring and her children have grown. “It s time for a change,” said Hawes. She was interested in becoming the Liberal candidate and had signed nomination papers bul now says that was perhaps a reaction to her husband's death and the grief and denial that happens after such an event. “They say the grief process takes one or two years and it’s only been about eight months since. Vic died,” said Hawes, “I’m not moving to forget; I’m moving away to rebuild. y two children need stability right now. A po- litician’s life is not stable.” , She’s chosen Tsawwassen as ier home for now, de- scribing it as the best possible location in the lower mainland, Hawes has some plans for a new career but won’t re- veal them for now. And she’s also made contacts with provincial Liberals in her new home riding and expects to be actively involyed with the party there. Hawes was part of many organizations during here time in the northwest, including the chamber of com- merce in Terrace, the Skeena Valley Rotary Club and she is a Big Sister. While living in Smithers when her husband had an optometry practice there, Hawes owned the Uniglobe travel agency there. They lived in Smithers from 1985 until moving to Terrace in 1992, Hawes was elected to a three-year term on Terrace city council in 1996 and ran unsuccessfully against Jack AFTER YEARS in the northwest, Linda Hawes is Talstra for the mayor’s chair in 1999. leaving.

Harry Nyce, the Nisga’a Lisims Government direc- tor-of fish and wildlife, has taken out a membership in the party that has made it a priority to defeat the Nisga’a treaty in court. Nyce, who was one of the top Nisga’a leaders in the battle to negotiate the treaty over the past de- cade, says he didn’t set out to join the B.C. Lib- erals, \ “I got invited by a member to listen in at a meeting,” he said. “As it turned out, it was for members only. So I had to sign up.” McDaniel hints at trying for Liberals RICH McDANIEL is con- sidering running for the B.C. Liberal nomination in Skeena. The Terrace city coun- cillor has taken out nomi- nation papers and has until Friday to file them. “Tm pretty confident | will be there,” McDaniel said. “If lots more candi- dates come forward I may look at the card game, as you might call it.” He said health and for- estry would be his top con- cerns if elected, “I think the needs and concerns of the Skeena ri- ding need to be addressed and not necessarily what's happening in Vancouver, “It was 4a misunder- standing on both our parts.” Nyce said he was urged to attend to hear a discus- sion on treaty negotiations. “C signed up for 10 bucks to listen,” he said. “TY didn’t hear anything dif- ferent.” Although the Nass val- ley is traditionally an NDP stronghold, this is not the first time Nyce has be- come involved in a right- wing party. He unsuccessfully sought the Social Credit nomination in the North Coast riding in 1991 when premier Bill Vander Zalm went down to defeat at the hands of the Mike Har- court-led NDP, Nyce said his involve- ment that year was his personal payback to Van- der Zalm for fulfilling his commitment to bring the province to the Nispa’a treaty table in an effort to resolve the land claim issue. “He lived up to that,” Nyce said. “It was then my turn to come to the table.” While Nyce now works for the new Nisga’a gov- ernment, he was previous- ly a commercial fisherman and still owns his own gill- net boat. “ep ma ‘free enterpriser in my own right,” he said.
