Aé - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, February 23, 2000 as CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD The Mail Bag Sheep must obey Dear Sir: The recent heavy fines inflicted upon businesses whieh allow smoking on the premises is a warning flag of what to ex- pect in the future, Now it is official -- whatever our masters say the sheep must obey, or else punishment. will be swift andsure. ©. : Of course, thissis not true when it comes to-real crimes ‘against God and. man. ; Pity the few poor policemen who actu- ally want to do their job, After a great deal of their effort and sometimes a large amount of taxpayers’. money, when the police finally bring someone to court, often the judges release: them. For example, in our area there have been two homicides-in recent years and those who killed: are. now free because one was found incapable because of drunkenness and the other due to mental illness. Perhaps there should be an insanity plea made on behalf of those victims ad- dicted to cigarettes. Aside from smoking, there are other ways to wind up in jail. If you tell the truth about certain evil deeds which previously were always pu- nishable by law you may find yourself guilly of a hate crime - even if what you say can be demonstrated to be factual ~and true. .-[f you dare tell the truth about the de- ‘structiveness of birth control, divorce, pornegraphy, homosexuality, lesbianism, Godless “Jews” and especially abortion, you are labelled a hate monger. There was no “eatch and release” pro- gram for a Canadian woman such as Linda Gibbons who has spent most of the last years in a number of prisons because she had the temerity to pray outside of abortion killing centers. In the brave new world of totalitarian government, the truth will not set you free, And because Christ the King has been uncrowned by ordinary citizens, civil government and especially the Vati- can II heretics of Rome, do not expect a return to justice, decency, or even sanily. Tom Brophy, Terrace, B.C. Health plan queried Dear Sir: As if the rift between the administra- tion medical staff and Mills Memorial staff is not large enough, the administra- lion want to move out of the hospital. This hospital was built to accommo- date 105 patients. Even if the planned cancer vlinic became a reality, ‘there should be ample room for M.M.H. to be- come a more inclusive community health centre. Wilson backer Dear Sir: This facility can likely include mental health, home support services, and Red Crass loan cupboard, etc. The community, administration, medi- cal and M.M.H. staff need to work closely together to improve and ensure service excellence to our community. What benefit will this planned move have on patient care, working relation- ships, or efficiency? C. Delmanque-Smith, Terrace, B.C. if you've got EMAIL, you can reach us electronically.

With reference to the Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2000 edition of The Terrace Standard | was surprised to read in your article that MLA Erda Walsh would be supporting--leadérship- candidate Ujjal Dosanjh at, the upcoming “leadership - convention. Being the MLA in question, the inaccuracy of your reporling is disap- pointing and is made even more s0, as you made no atlempt whatsoever to contact me to verify the information in your article. Had you done so, I would have informed you that on Jan. 5, 2000 I an- nounced. my support for leadership candidate Gor- don Wilson. , Although in the scheme of things this may appear to be an inconsequential | error, it does epitomize the widespread problem of misinformation. being pre- sented to the public as truth. ] am a former resident of Terrace and have family and friends who presently reside in Terrace and who - are interested in my stand on various issues.
