24 Terrace Review — Thursday, November 12, 1987 Scoop Lake — recover the carcass of a downed animal, but Braidwood argued that on the first charge, a false statement had not been given because, in fact, a report had not been filed at "all. Crown counsel Vern Frolick told the court that fees for ’ guiding services in the province ran as high as $15,000.and that Hansen, as operator of Scoop Lake Outfitters, was responsible for all actions of his employees, - Braidwood described his. client to the court as a man who has Housing - — continued from page 1 Sheridan said the Muks-kum- ol Society (‘White Bear’ in Tsimpsian) was originally form- ed by the Kermode Friendship Centre, who had plans for -a- 25-unit complex beside the cen- ter. Sheridan said he project was put on hold when the society met a “some adverse public rela- ti "According to Sheridan, the program was developed quietly with 10 houses being purchased in the first phase of the project last fall which required $40,000 in renovations, flooring and ap- pliances, ‘‘all of which was spent locally’’. He said an additional 10 homes and the old Tetrault -Manor were purchased and ren- _ovated this spring. ‘‘So in one year, from Oct. 1986 to Oct. 1987, the board has gone from nothing to having 42 housing units of various types in the community of Terrace, * he stated, _ Sheridan said there: was a good reason for developing the program quietly: ‘‘The board wanted to quietly accomplish its goals of acquiring its houses and not go for a lot of publicity.” - "When Starting | something new like that, there are areas of concern. The ‘board went quietly about its business, accomplished it, and have excellent tenants in their. homes and these people {the tenants) have proved, quiet- ly, that they are good contri- ‘buting members of this com- munity,”’ he explained, During a banquet recognizing areas is critical,’’ the brief stated. ‘‘It is our concern that exemptions (in physiotherapy training requirements) not be us- ed as. a loophole for physio- therapists who would otherwise not be qualified to practise.

Frolick said he is satisfied with the outcome of the trial and feels the decision would be a deterrent to other Outfitters in. the future, “In ‘this case there is more PQ hae! than just the sentence,” ‘said Frolick.‘‘There’s the investiga- tion, the adverse publicity, and hunters were contacted,”’ _ Frolick explained that a- ‘business such as Hansen’s ‘‘runs .on goodwill’? and there was a considerable deterrent in- terms of the investigation alone. ‘‘He does, I think, understand the consequences if he does not ex- ercise his responsibility : to his ' ... license properly.in the future.’ Hansen said he felt he is guilty the. significance of. the day; board chairman Ray Jones sum- med up the words of many. guest speakers by expressing his vision ofa brighter future for the com- munity asa result of the project. “There are long term benefits,’’ said Jones. ‘‘Not only better living conditions, but bet- ter social development. And bet- ter social development means a much stronger and tighter fami- ly unit.,.the family unit is the future. " ‘Jones predicted a brighter future for children living in the housing units. Quoting a com- . ment made earlier by School District 88 chairman, Lavern Hislop, Jones said, ‘‘With our children living in better: ‘housing: conditions, their success ratio in _ their educational endeavors will be much greater.” Jones also predicted a better understanding between the native and white cultures. **Programs such as ours are the kind of programs and ac- tivities ‘that we, as human be- ings, can get together on and cut these (social) costs down. This is what we're all about — to help ‘each other.”? _ Jones also credited the invest- ment made by CMHC as having a significant social value. “Indirectly, the work they’re doing through such programs as ours tightens the family unit fabric. It is a part of their work that is unrecognized and the cost benefits are hidden, but the cost: benefits are enormous in the long run,’’ he said. Jones said there are normally between 60 and 80 potential tenants names on file who need housing and that the board i in- Physiotherapy - —— continued trom page 18 tends to ‘add about 10 units per year.in the future. - In addition, he:said the board is exploring the possibility of a non-native social housing: pro- ject, the possibility of mid-term . care senior ‘citizen - housing, hostel and emergency. housing units, a half-way centre for de-. _ > linquents, and they may even consider providing housing in. 7 in. the. ‘Pacific other centers Northwest. if the need is there. ‘The society is currently seek- ing information and statistics to establish a non-native social housing program with funding through the B.C.

However, our members do support amendments which pro- vide for the temporary registra- tion of qualified, foreign-trained physiotherapists, with recog- nized qualifications. ” The brief concluded by saying that the Jorig term solution to the’. - shortage of physiotherapists in | the province is ‘‘a drastic in- }- - crease in the number of physio- therapists educated to British ‘Columbia”’. It suggested that this would require the ‘‘dedication of fund- ing’’ by the Minister of Educa- tion to create more positions within the province’s universities for the training of professional - physiotherapists. “We urge the Minister of Health to work with the Minister of Education to expand physio- therapy programs to meet future needs,”’ the brief concluded.
