The Jaws of Life were required -_ to free the man before he could be transported to hospital by ambu-. lance attendants. He recovered in - hospital over the weekend and was released Monday. That he was not ‘more seriously injured has been attributed to the fact that he was wearing a scat belt. The driver of the van was apparently uninjured. At about 8:15 p.m. Friday night, ‘a van carrying two people rolled end over end and landed right side up in a swamp at the foot of the Kitimat-side airport hill. One pass-. enger was uninjured but the other, a Terrace male in his mid-thirties, remains in Mills Memorial in stable condition. | Yesterday, two more motor vehicle accidents were added to the tally.. Shortly after 9 p.m., a 17-year-old Prince Rupert youth suffered bruises to the back of his legs and arms when he lost control of the 1981 Chevrolet Camaro he was driving towards Prince Rupert.

At noon yesterday, two Terrace women were reported to be in stable condition at Mills Memorial Hospital following a collision between a pickup truck and a car at the intersection of Kenney St. and Park Ave. The accident occurred at about 11:23 a.m. when the driver of a Chevrolet four- wheel drive pickup apparently failed to stop at the intersection and hit the driver’s door of a Ford Monteray sedan, Terrace fire- fighters assisted ambulance attend- ants at the scene. Terrace fire chief Bob Beckett says the number of accidents over the five day period was unusual, but manageable, thanks in part to new equipment obtained earlier this year. Last spring, city council approved the purchase of a new $4,300 set of Jaws of Life spreaders, and the Provincial Emergency Program came up with a $5,700 Jaws of Life generator. The department still requires one piece of equipment, however. Beckett says they are currently using a loaned pair of Jaws of Life cutters. Because they are currently in mid-budget there are no funds to purchase the needed item.

When the girl was crossing the street in the 4500 block of Little Avenue, a fed cat, possibly a Datsuri hatchback, came speeding down the street, struck the little girl and dragged her down the street for a distance of approxi- mately five feet. She was rushed to Mills Memor- — ial Hospital and treated for cuts and bruises along her back, arms and legs. Fortunately, the girt will suffer no long-term physical diffi- culties, but to this day is quite emotionally disturbed over the traumatic incident. ms The driver of the vehicle instant- ly fled from the scene and has not been heard from since. The little girl remembers the driver as being a young man. She also said that the driver had a moustache and was wearing a red, white and black _ baseball cap. - If anyone has any information, please contact the Terrace RCMP. Oil spill in Terrace? At about 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 27, a number of people noticed what appeared to be a small oil slick on the Skeena River. The source was the city storm sewer outlet south of the old . Skeena Bridge. Conservation officer Glen Slater says small amounts of petroleum products emitting from city storm sewers is an ongoing problem and while most are small, there is potential fora serious problem. In most cases, he says, the source of the problem is probably someone YOUR LOCAL POLICE CICBC THE KIDS ARE THERE. DRIVE WITH CARE! who has disposed a liquid like paint thinner or used motor oil in a ditch. = Slater says the practice of dump- | ing hazardous materials is illegal. Even though one such incident may be relatively harmless to the environment, the situation could become serious if several people did the same thing within a short period of time. Slater asks that anyone witnessing the dumping of hazardous’ materials record . all details and report the incident to the Ministry of Environment. ~ | hatever you wear » a fe clean with care, 7 8:00 am, to 6:00 SHIRT LAUNDRY DAY Men’s or Ladies’ cotton or poly blend shirt Richards on Emerson THE DRYCLEANER & SHIRT LAUNDRY Swing in to our DRIVE THRU 8:30 a.m, to 5:30 p.m. — Saturday p.m. — Monday to Friday
