Page A2 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, December 9, 1992 Police report Counterattack campaign begins While most of us prepare to enjoy the coming holiday season, Ter- race RCMP officers are getting ready to battle B.C.’s most common criminal — the drinking driver. The annual Christmas Counterattack campaign began yesterday and will continue through to January 3. With the campaign comes the roadblocks. Police will have their portable ALERT breath testers with them. A failed blow could mean a trip to the detachment for a breathalyzer test. Impaired driving is the most common criminal charge laid in the city. Const. Kim Hall says nearly 200 impaired driving charges have been laid so far this year. Rape, assault charges laid A 38-YEAR-OLD Terrace man faces a series of domestic assault charges after he attacked two women in a Thornbill trailer 3 a.m. Dec. 3. Neither victim was seriously injured, The man — whose name is withheld to protect the identitics of the victims — is charged with two counts of forcible confinement, three counts of assault with a weapon and one count of sexual as- saull Beware of the Grinch THERE REALLY is a Grinch that steals Christmas. So says RCMP Const. Chris Swanson who is watching the break- aud-enter statistics shoot up as the holiday season approaches. Police received reports of 12 break-ins during the month of Octo- ber, with seven of those happening at homes, In November those numbers doubled to 24 break-ins with 16 of them taking place at residences. . And Swanson says those numbers could continue to increase in December. The thieves often step up their activity before Christmas to give presents to their families — by stealing from someone else, Lock it or lose it YOU'RE SHOPPING. Your car is unlocked, And there’s a $300 VCR in it you just bought for the family. It’s a recipe to become one of the statistics of car theft in Terrace, RCMP Const. Kim Hall says there have been more than 300 thefts from vehicles so far this year. And to drive the point home, the RCMP’s ‘Lock it or Lose it’ runs from Dec, 11-13 and Dec. 13-20. Police officers who find insecure vehicles around town will leave behind a pamphlet to let them know they were lucky — this time. Motorists who leave their cars unlocked with the engine running or with the keys in the ignition can be subject to a $75 fine.

We'll ask what the Nisga’a position is and they'll say they can’t tell us,’’ he said. Talstra likened it to speaking into a vacuum, not knowing if their comments will have an ef- fect or what might happen, “It'll be easier to give advice if we know the parameters of what we're talking about so that we can react to something that is on the table,’” he said. Talstra pointed to the Nisga’a interim protection measures agreement as an example of what has been going on. Released two weeks ago, the agreement had been the subject of speculation about its contents. “There’s nothing bad in the agreement, but we could have saved a whole lot of hassle and Jots of time if the document had been released prior to signing,” said Talstra. | THURSDAY | “BLL DAY. | @arp ; INSTOCK Huge Selectian V-tRoLe: Marked Dept. includes glasses, crystal, dishes, ; Gh giftware PY ALL JEWELRY & CLOCK ALL BOXED CHOCOLATES “native communities, were not in- - the northwest, he said. ole TOYS _ ai up ante “The communities, the non- volved in the process,”” he added.
