A2 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, April 18, 2001 Election In Brief Familiar haunt THEY JUST can’t stay away. For the third election in a row, the NDP is setting up shop for Helmut Giesbrecht’s campaign on Lazelle Ave. in office space on the first floor of the Tillicum Twin Theatre building. That’s where Larry Guna had his offices in last year’s federal campaign and it was where Isaac Sobol worked out of in the federal campaign of 1997, And it’s not far from where Helmut Giesbrecht ran his 1996 provincial re-election campaign.
