A10 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, June 8, 1994 New rules at Ferry Island THE OPERATOR of the city’s” Ferry Island campground is put- ting a minimum age restriction on campers. The policy of not permitling overnight campers under the age of 18 unless accompanied by an adult is to head off noise and party problems, said Kress Nel- son of Canadian Wilderness Ex- perience. “Last year we had nowhere near as many problems at the be- ginning of the camping season as we do now,’ he said. The problem is not so much with young campers but with other young people who visit in the late evening or early morning, Nelson added. “This is not a place to party. It’s a campground,” he said of ihe 68-site facility. **We have people who are here to camp. We are running it for them.’? Nelson said he greeted a crowd of more than 30 young people late one night over the May long weekend, “By putting this policy into place now, we’re going to set the tone for the season,’’ Nelson said. Partying teens also affects the way B.C. Parks does business at its huge Furlong Bay site on Lakelse Lake. “It depends on the situation each day. If we have more than five or six campsites of young people, we won’ l permit anymore unless they are accompanied by an adult,’”’ said B.C. Parks official John Trewhitt. “Jf it gets anymore than that, there’s no way our contractors and supervisors can handle it if there are problems,’’ he said. Partying teenagers are more prevalent in the late spring and early summer once the weather turns warmer, Trewhitt added. “It tapers off once summer hits. They're out of school, they don’t seeeach other as much and they have jobs,’ he said. Trewhitt said some parents use the campground as an unofficial babysitting service because they view it as a safe place to deposit . their children, Detox | : plan starts A LOCAL man who wants a drug and alcohol detox centre in Ter- race is drawing together sup- porters of the project June 17. Jim Pushie, a board member of the Terrace Anti Poverty Group Society and a Ksan House Society worker, says the group now needs money to put its proposal together. He first introduced his proposal al a May supper meeting attended by regional politicians and others. The plan is for a centre contain- ing as many as 20 beds where those with aleohol and drug prob- Jems could go throug detox. Also available wlll be counsell- ing and the opportunity for refer- rais to longer term care facilities elsewhere, Pushie said ihe lack of alcohol and drug detox facilities in the northwest places a strain -—— financial and otherwise — on facilities not set up to give treat- ment. “Right now we need money to keep the proposal rolling. We have lots of suppori, il’s now a matter of making it a reality,’’ he said, Pushie’s original proposal was to purchase the Gim’s restaurant building, which is for sale, and renovate it. “Thal was an example of what could be donc,’? he said last week, Pushie said he thinks there have been more than enough studies in the northwest already and that it’s time to make a detox centre a reality. Scheduled to attend the June 17 are politicians from Stewart, Hazelton,- Terrace, Smithers, Prince Rupert and triterested per- sons from Terrace and Prince Rupert. TILANE. YOU Skeena Jnr.
