free to use their creativity
and otiginality — as long as
the emblems contained the
Olympic rings and the
northwest’s very own ker-
mode bear.

Downie and Monaghan
were impressed with youth

“T liked the way the
bear came out,” said Mo-
naghan. It really showed
the kermode as the white
bear.”

Downie liked the way
Erin worked the torch into
her design. “It’s a symbol
of the Olympics and it’s
very clear,” he said.’

When it came to Holly
Wassink’s entry, Downie
liked the way the kermode
was placed amidst moun-
tains and greenery. “The
bear is in its natural envi-
ronment," he said. i...)

News In Brief

If it’s too good to be true,
then it probably isn’t

POLICE warn Terrace area residents of a lottery
fraud which tells victims they’ve won millions of
dollars. The fraudulent letters come from Madrid,
Spain and ask tecipients to keep the news of win-
ning more than $26 million U.S. a secret until the
claim's processed, police said.

A local man received two such letters fram sep-
arate companies in Spain bearing the same Ietter-
head - Santa Luca Security Co. and Seguros Map-
fre Security Co. :

Police advise the letlers requests that the recipi-
ent contact a claim agent as-soon as possible and
to complete a payment processing form. which asks
for personal information and bank. account
numbers, police say.

Both letters also contain several graminuatical
and spelling errors and provide an overseas tele-
phone and fax number. Police advise any local res-
idents who receive such letters not to respond or
provide any sort of personal information.

Paintball pranks

prompts police warning
LOCAL RCMP are asking local paintball gun
owners to transport the guns in the truck of their
car or in a closed bag while in public.

The reminder comes after two reports to police
involving paintball guns in recent weeks.

A tocal home was vandalized recently when it
was shot by paintball guns at 9:45 p.m. Oct. 18. A
vehicle was seen speeding away and was stopped .
shortly after by police. Four young men were ar-
tested and a paintball gun. was seized.

They were released with no charges because the
victim has agreed to a cleanup arrangement with
the four youth, And another incident just two days
later resulted in police seizing another paintball
gun which closely resembled a shotgun from two
young men, police said. ,

Police were called at 9:20 a.m. after. receiving a
report by a passing motorist of two boys handling a
gun near Sparks St. and Tuck Ave. Police quickly
located the two youngsters who were. on their way
to school to show the gun to their friends.

Police said the Coast Mountain School District
is reminding students paintball guns are not per-
mitted in area schools. Police treat all firearms re-
lated calls as potentially life threatening.

Flood aid needed

THE RED Cross wants to raise $1 million for flood
victims in the Pemberton and Squamish areas.

“We're appealing for financial donations only,
nol personal items or household goods from indi-
viduals,” said Red Cross official Carmen MacKen-
zie last week. “Cash provides the most flexible
and efficient way of helping those in need.”

support Crime Stoppers have been to sponsor a poster contest
which ran throughout the elementary schools. The theme was
“Promoting Crime Prevention.” Funds have also been used to
purchase promotional items to promote the society. These have
included items such as golf balls, fridge magnets, white boards,
fish lures and tshirts. Other uses of funds include registration to
Crime Stoppers conferences and ongoing training, tips line
monitoring, the purchase of a laptop computer for RCMP Crime
Stopper liaison, and a booth at the spring trade show promoting
the society. Funds also provide the opportunity to promote our
annual Jail’n‘Bail out at Riverboat Days in August. Without
monetary assistance from the Lucky Dollar Bingo, mony of our
awareness and promotional campaigns would not be possible.
