Huckleberry in court An application to halt the Huckleberry mine project will be back in court this Friday. The Sierra Legal Defence Fund, acting on behalf of the Carrier-Cheslatta Nation, is arguing for an injunction - to halt construction on the project 80 kilometres south of Houston. Karen Wristen, lawyer for Sierra Legal, said the B.C. Supreme Court justice hearing the case wants to reconvene because there wasn’t enough time to finish on July 5, The Cheslatta want construction on the mine stopped for a number of reasons, one of which is that a full wildlife habitat study must be completed. “They’re destroying habitat and they haven’t assessed wildlife values init yet,” Wristen said, “If you don’t know what you had before you started the project (hen you’ ll never know,” ' A few threatened species have been seen or are believed to be in the area, a wildlife consultant hired by the Cheslatta said in a report.

Flora fire THE TERRACE fire department responded to a call July 7 of a brush fire behind the REM Lee theatre at 4920 Straume. . Fhe fire had been set in two locations, leading the fire department to believe that they had been intentional- ly set, likely by children playing with matches. Power-outage problems Two separate power failures in Terrace, Monday, caused at least one injury, as a woman tumbled down a flight of stairs in the new Park Avenue Medical Centre. The fire department was already at the scene to help someone who had been stuck in an elevator as a result of the power failure. The woman who fell apparently could not see where she was going because the emergency lights failed to come on, She was taken to Mills Memorial Hospital, Deputy-Chief Rick Owens says that because there were two power-failures that day, the batteries in the emergency lights may not have had time to recharge before the second failure. ‘zoning as multifamily for z Bright a Co UMBIA. -. _Vietin of Crime -_ ol Attorney General. ; Effective July 1, 1996, British Columbia's Victinis of Crime Act gives victims of crime the right to receive information about: * victim services available to you * compensation for criminal injury * how the criminal system works, the status of the police j investigation and the court case: * the administration of the offender's s sentence * your, rights to privacy.

Unfortunately, the bear is still there. **Quite often we'll get a bear that won't go in a trap," says conservation officer Doug Forsdick, ‘‘Bears are smart.” Forsdick says that tranquilizing the bear without trapping il first is really not an option. It takes quite some time for the drug to take effect. So officers try to trap or corner the bear ina tree before darting it. “The last thing we want is a half-drupgged bear wander- ing around,”’ he says. So if the bear doesn’t take the trap, officers might have to shoot it, although that is only as a last resort, And Forsdick doesn’t think the dump fence is necessarily . to blame.
