That figure is down slightly from the 19 drunk drivers caught in last year’s holiday season road blitz. Cpl, Garry Moritz said 14 24-hour suspensions were also issued, as well as more than 550 other traffic charges and 121 written warnings. He said police stopped more than 2,500 vehicles at the roadblocks from Dec. 8 to Jan, 3. There weren't any fatalities during the holiday season, but “| 15 people were injured in automobile accidents. And alcohol was a factor in five of the 37 collisions. Tenders to be called” TENDERS WILL soon go out-on an $800,000 construction project to build new government offices here. ; Plans now approved call for construction of a 579-square- metre building at the corner of Eby St. and Keith Ave., said B.C, Buildings Corporation spokesman John Murphy.

Construction is expected to start in late February, and isto be completed by September, “Socreds seek unity UNITY WILL BE the key to rebuilding the Social Credit par- ty, says the president of its Skeena constituency association. ‘‘Peaple have to work together and: quit stabbing each © other in the back,’’ said John LeSage. Most of the problems the party faced in last fall’s election were caused by what LeSage called ‘‘a few bad apples’’. Yet once the vote was called, LeSage said party members drew together. And it’s that spirit which will have to continue at the party's Jan. 10 and 11 convention in Vancouver,:he added. ‘There are so many things we have to do-to start rebuilding. We'll have to sit down and see what people come _ up with,'’ LeSage said. ; He said the party has had a good response to membership sales since the October vote. Co-ordination needed | SKEENA Union Board of Health directors want a: more co- ordinated approach when asking the provincial, government , for health grant money.’ Independent proposals from community groups for health dollars may soon be first channelled through individual com- munities and then reviewed by the board, said health unit ad- ministrator David Bowering. That con eliminate some confusion, such as. the separate applidttion’ & * filed “if Tecent years of seviral: Bulkley Valley proups-to-carry-out Studies on the. area’s lingering smoke pollution problems. © Such a system could mean more efficient use of the region’s health dollars and a greater benefit to.more residents. The idea was Suggested at last month's board meeting. Water moratorium stays. THE MORATORIUM on the granting of new bulk water ex- port ficences has been extended six months. Environment minister John Cashore ‘said new licences won't be issued again until. after June 30 to enable the govern- ment to get gauge public reaction from a soon-to-be-released discussion paper. Details of a‘new public review process for water export: licences will be released along with the discussion paper. A Vancouver company —- Moss Management Inc. — has three applications for the rights to export 50,000 acre-feet of water. from sources near the old Anyox: ‘mine site 70km nor- thwest’ of Aiyansh.. ~ Kermode H2O Export Ltd., of Coquitlam, already has a water export licence granted before the moratorium was im- posed last year after controversy erupted over ane company’s plans to export B.C. water to California. Kermode hasn’t shipped any water so far, but has the rights lo export nearly 30 tanker loads of fresh water a year out of Whalen Lake, 90km south of Kitimat on Princess Royal Island. ; Kitselas Canyon park plan on hold TERRACE — Planning for a national historic site at Kitselas Canyon is on hold, Kitselas band chief Ralph war. yaa wae prc arn zee more time and money. before ALCOHOL CAN IMPAIR ‘A DRIVER'S REACTION TIME BY CRITICAL SECONDS Orava) SECONDS INPUT iNTERPAET DECIDE ACT « foot Sor oO ey YO INPUT — IMTEAPAET DECIDE ACT any agreement can be reached . am with Parks Canada on joint development. of the canyon area. “We have to study it to death,” he said, adding he hopes.to-meet-again with parks officials in January. Pat Inglis, Canadian Parks Service area ‘superintendent, said ‘the new Kitselas band council — elected last spring — has taken a more cautious line on the historic site proposal. ‘Since the new . administra- tion’s come in, .they’re saying ‘Let’s think things through a lit- tle bit-more, Let’s not jump in too quickly’,’” he said, The project would have seen development of a-road, parking lot, interpretive centre and trail network around the canyon area. - Archaelogical evidence points to activity in the canyon going back as far as 5,000 years. The Kitselas used the canyon to con- ‘trol and tax trade -- of both natives and settlers — on the. river from their fortress Gitlax- dzawk on the north shore of the seen Ralph Wright canyon. The original plun would have Parks Canada and the band split development costs, with. the band retaining owner- ship of the park. Inglis said it's possible the site can still be developed into a historic site. “We're still wanting to work with them,” he said. ‘‘I think there’s still promise for some kind of development. It just may not be as grand as was first envisioned.” Inglis said the next step is up to the band. ‘We're waiting for them to come up with a new proposal,” he said. ~ OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK "~@ EAT IN/TAKE OUT © CATERING AVAILABLE 4660 Lakelse Avenue, Terrace, B.C. 635-7855 ath gE 1982 Fard 4x4 pickup 1980 Dodge Van 3 ACS Computers 1 Wang PC 4 ACS Keyboards 2 ACS Monitors 3 ACS Printers 8 Wang Printers 6 Wang Keyboards — 11BM Keyboard 12 Wang Monitors 1(IBMMonitor © 7 Wang CPUs 8 Wang Printers 4 Paper Feeds 3 Sound Covers External Disketies and Hard Drives R.A. 1 TELKWA, B.C, Lunch on the grounds, AUCTION SALE Saturday, January 18, 1992, 12:00 Noon For the Government of B.C. and others. hot Nt the Round Lake Help" 3) sth Leave Highway 16; 6 miles east of Telkwa and follow Round Lake Road and auction signs - 2 Metal Desks -78 Drawer Map Cabinet _.4 Electric Typewriters : Dictaphone Plus many items too numeraus to mention. + TEAMS CASH + KERRS’ AUCTIONS Not responsible for accidents. a : d Wang Electronic Unit 12 Bicycles 4 Arm Chairs Cardwheel 7 Partitions ‘Goat Closet ’ Display Rack 3 Steno Chairs © -2 Office Chairs 2 Dynamite Boxes 9 RFE Repeater Mods. 8 GE PRO Repeater Mods. 14 UHF YAG Antennas 3 UHF Corner Reflectors Misc, AES Cables Phone 846-5392 “OnrDfeup HOME VIDEO Thu Wall Chinuy Company, SUPERIOW VIDEO!
