One of the reasons is the growth = in _native-run governments and enterprises tied to the economic bene- fits of existing or anticipated land claims settlements. It's a growth thal’s sure to continue as more and more native groups take over con- trol for everything from forestry to municipal work to schools to health care. Some private — sector unions, the carpenters for example, already seek to sign sepatate labour agree- ments for construction work on reserve lands. And now public sector unions have discovered there’s a potential pool of members. Several unions, including the Hospital Employees’ Union and the B.C. Govern- ment and Service Employ- ecs' Union, dedicate consid- erable resources to organiz- ing workers. Already, the Canadian Union of Public Employces Tepresents Nisga’a school district workers, Other workers in the Nass Valley, home to the Nisga’a, have taken a different ap- pruach to unionization. In 1993, with the help of we BCGEU, workers formed the Nisga’a Employ- ees’ Union (NEU). Its aim is to represent pri- vate and public sector workers in the Nass, Today the NEU is closely tied to the BCGEU to the point that a joint application has been made to certify Nisga’s Valley Health Board workers. The NEU already Tepresents employees of Nisga’a Economic Enter- prises, a development com- pany owned by the four vil- lages in the Nass Valley. Back then, NEU organizers said they were unhappy that so many jobs were going to people aut- side of the valley. But the NEU’s efforts have not been without oppo- sition, The Nisga’a Valley Health Board opposes the NEU ap- Negi sc C- ie : CREWE a STOPPERS 635-TIPS Police release sketches POLICE ARE asking the public to help them find two men and a car they hope could help solve the dissap- pearance of college student Lana Derrick. RCMP Cpl. Rob McKay says the two composite drawings were prepared following a hypnosis session with a woman who was one of the last people to see Derrick. Under hypnosis, the woman described seeing Lana Derrick at the Copperside store in Thornhill at about 4:30 im. the night she dissappeared. The witness, who was waiting in an adjacent parked car, saw Derrick get out of a car wilh two men in it, enter the store, buy a package of cigarettes and return to the car. There were two men in the front of the car, she said. The’ car drove’ west’ on’ the frontage‘ road” ‘towards’ the Northern Motor Inn “The cat is “described as a “bine/gtey foindoor car, ubout a 1987, in rough shape with a horizontal scrape wong ihe bottom of the driver’s door, with paint peeling and rusting near the rear driver’s tire.

Anyone with information can call Terrace RCMP at “T still don’t know if they're suspects or witnessess,” McKay snid of the two men in the drawings. Investigators have already found and interviewed a man who closely resembles the more heavier set image in composite #1. McKay said that interview was inconclusive and that police decided to release the composite because police can’t assume the man they talked to is who the witness saw, He anticipated a large number of calls identifying drawing #1 as the man they've already talked to. Police so far have ao leads as to the identity of the niin in the second drawing, A video camera running at Copperside at the time ran out of tape and recorded over itself, McKay said. Police tried to enhance the recorded-over image, but those efforts were unsuccessful, McKay says police still have no clues as to where Dertick and the two other men wenl after leaving Copperside. , “You can make an asssumption she was trying to 20 home,” he said. ‘You can make an assumption that she was going to a party in Thomhill, But you can't say any- thing for sure.” Searches so far have ‘concentrated on the highway cast of town towards Derrick’s home, 26 miles east of town, Attention . _Showmobiler s, Trail Bike.
