Sharing the spotlight for this week’s
featured pet are pooch Gadget and an
orange tabby kitten who as yet has no
name. Gadget is nine months old, has all
his shots, and is housebroken. Terrace
Animal Shelter staff say he’s a stay-at-

home kind of dog but he doesn’t seem to

be comfortable around young children. .
The kitten, 10-12 weeks old, is described

as cute, lovable and feisty. If you’d like

to get to know them, contact the Terrace
Animal Shelter.

must consider the appticant’s prox-

_imity to things like schools and

churches; traffic, access and
parking; noise and appearance; and
whether or not the residents are in
favour of the licence.

Just how all this is done is really
up to the city but provincial policy
offers an array of alternatives from
which they are "required" to setect.
The policy doesn’t mention how
the expenses are to be paid, how-
ever. Even though the LCB has
already collected an application fee
it would appear that either the
municipality has to pay il, charge

a second application fee, or ask the

applicant to pay the expenses
himsetf.

In the case of the Bavarian Inn,
the city isn’t going to pay for the
advertising themselves, says
Kameiz. They’re going to make up
the ads the way they want and let
Gerdei have them published at his
expense.

With council's approval in hand,
the applicant has two final hurdles
to clear. The first is called Plans
Approval which decides if the
layout of the proposed facility is
adequate. If the plan is approved,
the applicant can go ahead with
construction and renovations, and

once that work is done apply for
Final Approval and, if everything's
okay, the actual licence.

" Terrace Review — Wednesday, August 8, 1990 Al§

oliday includes

by Tod Strachan

Holidays are the things that
memories are made of, but for two
Terrace residents not all of this.

year’s holiday memories are plea-

sant ones. After only a few happy
days at a lakeside cabin, Melancy

_ Jones and Biair Pylot of Terrace,

along with three Vancouver

friends, found themselves hiding

out in a room at the rear of: the
Bednesti Resort while an uniden-

_ tified sniper took pot shots at the

front of the building.

Jones says that for her and her
friend, July 27 was to be the be-
ginning of a 10-day holiday re-
union at Cluculz Lake east of
Vanderhoof. They would be joined
by three Vancouver friends who
owned a cabin near Pylot’s. For
the first three days, the holiday
measured up to its billing, but on
the. moming of Tuesday, July 31,
everything changed.

Jones, Pylot and their three
Vancouver friends decided to head
out to the Bednesti Resort on

_ Highway 16 west of Prince George

where they could purchase some
marine gas and buy breakfast. The
gas at the resort was cheap and
buying breakfast would provide a
nice break from the routine of
household chores at their two
lakeside cabins.

Towards the end of a leisurely

meal, however, they noticed some .

unusual activity in the gravel
parking lot of the resort. A large,
late-model blue car backed up
rapidly and slid to a stop in front
of the cafe. The driver, his face
covered in blood, got out of the
car, opened the trunk and casually
took out a rifle. He loaded the rifle
with ammunition, took off his shirt
and tied it around his head, painted
his face with grease, and then took

up a position in a ditch on the far

side of the parking lot. "Just like
Rambo," recalls Jones.

As they sat and watched this
sequence of events unfold, their
concentration was suddenly broken
by resort staff warning everyone to
"get down... take cover", For
safety, resort staff escorted every-
one to a bar in the rear of the main
resort building. But it offered little
protection; windows covered two
sides of the bar.

flying bullets

At this point, says Jones, they
didn’t know exactly what was
happening. Just that they were
supposed to. be on a holiday at
Clucuiz Lake but were instead
hiding in the rear of a resort as
they counted three shots. . ;

Because of their vigilance, the.
gunman was seen making his way
from the ditch to the side of the
building. This gave everyone time
to move into a central hallway.

Ten minutes later police finally
arrived and with the help of a
police dog arrested the sniper.
Their ordeal, which began just
before 11 a.m. and lasted for more
than an hour,was over.

Prince George RCMP had little
information to offer when con-
tacted by the Terrace Review
Tuesday moming, but from her
conversation with resort staff after
the incident, Jones offers this
account of events leading up to the
shooting.

A "shifty" individual about
30-years old and wearing two
hunting knives entered the service
station at the resort. He was appa-
rently a tourist from Kelowna and
needed a radiator hose for his car.
When he was told by staff that the
required part wasn’t in stock he
became irate and tried fo attack
them with a screwdriver. The staff,
with the help of a few customers,
got the. better of the man and he
left the building.

But he wasn’t finished. He drove
erratically around the parking lot,
hitling a service station attendant
in the process. According to staff
there, says Jones, they tried to stop
him by throwing a 4x4 timber
through the open driver’s window
but only injured the man. It was at
this point that he parked in front of

the cafe and loaded his rifle.
It was a frightening experience,

says Jones, but laughable when it
was over. Even with their incon-
venience they still had to pay for

their breakfast, she says, and they
couldn’t buy the gas which was the
primary purpose of their trip to the
resort in the first place. By the
time it was all over, the police had
cordoned off the service station
area and the gas pumps were
closed. And they didn’t return to
the resort for gas, says Jones. "We
never left the cabin."
