Skylink
hearing

adjourned

It appears that the Skylink
Airlines appeal against the
revocation of its operating cer-
tificate may take a considerable
amount of time.

The appeal, lodged with the
Civil Aviation Tribunal,. began
in Vancouver Monday after-
noon, but was immediately ad-
journed when Skylink’s defense
counsel was presented with a
mass of background material he

_ had requested from Transport

Canada.

- Skylink’s operating certificate
was suspended and later can-
celled by Transport Minister

Benoit. Bouchard. during an.

audit of its records prompted by

a fatal crash at the Terrace- —

Kitimat: airport Sept. 26.

Michael Hutchison, Skylink’s |
Jawyer in the hearing, told the

Terrace Review yesterday he
received more than two thick

volumes of documents shortly
after the hearing opened and he
will require time to study them

in order to determine the exact
reasons for cancellation of the
operating certificate.

Hutchison said Skylink was

‘given periodic ‘‘bundles of non-
conforming notices’? -—- cita-
tions for breaking regulations —
by investigators during the audit
of the operation. The material
he requested, ‘‘a substantial
body of documents’’, give
underlying cross-references to
various regulations that Skylink
allegedly broke or failed to com-
ply with.

Stephen Rybak, a public. af-
fairs officer with Transport
Canada, explained that Skylink
had been given the reasons for
the cancellation, but there is
detailed documentation to sup-
port the reasons, involving sec-
tional cross-references to the Air
Navigation Orders, Air Regula-
tions, airworthiness directives
and other acts, regulations
orders and laws, Hutchison was
supposed to receive the material
by Oct. 19, Rybak said, but on
Oct. 26 he was notified that
everything he wanted would not
be ready by the hearing date.
‘Hts a lot of stuff,’’ he remark-
ed,

Accidents are not predictabie... you always have to be
prepared. Two lives were saved when this truck was
unexpectedly struck by a six-foot boulder because the:

occurred May 8, and the two Ministry of Highways
workers involved were given an award last week. Story

businesses for sales of wreaths, and the annual Poppy

Bears up late

TERRACE — Even though
we've had a couple of heavy
frosts, bears can still be a pro-
blem, according to local Conser-
vation Officer Ken Hoffman.
He says there have been several
complaints in the past month,
most of them from the Lanfear
area.

Last Friday there was a report
of a bear on Donald Rd., on
Sunday night a driver had to
swerve to miss a bear on Lanfear
Hill, and most recently, a bear
was sighted on Twedle Ave.

Garbage is always a problem,
says Hoffman. Even when

Hallowe’en is always an
exciting time for young trick-
or-treaters but the usual
problem of pranksters setting
off fireworks during the
week preceeding Hallowe’en
is a cause for concern.
Besides the fact it is illegal to
set off fireworks on private
property without permission,
or public property without a
licence, fireworks can be
dangerous to the user and
start unwanted fires.

At least two events, how-
ever, went far beyond simple
pranks and could result in
criminal charges. According

to Terrace fire chief Cliff

Best, police are investigating
a fire lit in a dumpster behind
Elker Auto Supply last
Saturday evening and an in-

which two Molotov cocktails
were thrown at Skeena
Junior Secondary School.
Best says that neither inci-.
dent resulted in serious
damage — the gasoline
bombs smashed against con-
crete and burned harmlessly
— but that doesn’t negate the
severity of the act. A full

report on Tuesday night's
Hallowe’en activities will ap- -
