Heavy rink vote turnout predicted |

ADVANCE VOTING suggests a heavy tumout for Satur-
day’s Second Sheet of Ice referendum.

The first advance poll last Wednesday closed with 69 -
votes cast in Terrace and another 12 votes cast in the outly-

“T think this is quite high,’’ returning officer Blaine
Johnson. said.
They’ve been to some of these and died of boredom be-
fore, but it wasn’t too bad.” a

But she said we'll have to wait to see whether the good
advance vote translates into a major turnout on referendum

“My . girls were .quile impressed, too.

“It certainly sounds like people are interested, ” she said.

Voter turnout is often dismal when a referendum is held |
by itself — without an accompanying municipal election:

A second advance poll runs today from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

*Tt’'s a false fear,”’ he said. “Whether
people want it or don’t want it — that’s the
question,”’

‘Any time a complex becomes a burden
on the citizens of Terrace the fees will be
raised and that can be done in one meet-
ing,” he said. ‘“There’s no question that
would be doné and it would be done in-
Stantly.”?

McDaniel also targeted Peggy Julseth, a
critic of the’ Project who made comments
last week:

“Peggy ignored us and deliberately didn’t
attend any meetings. She’s now out con-
demaing it with unfactual material.’

MecDatiiel said: the project is a design-
build project that will be built for $2.8 mil-
lion.

The cost to taxpayers, he said, will ‘be.

$2.12 million’ in borrowed money. That
could be reduced should the project receive
grants from the province,

McDaniel said a tremendous amount of
volunteer work has been poured into the
project so far.

“Total soul-searching blood, sweat, and
tears went into this,’’ says McDaniel, ad-
ding he has no doubt organizers will raise

LOCAL BUSINESSES
should be wary of a new
telephone long distance
fraud scheme, which could
add up to thousands of dol-
lars onto their long distance
bills.

A group operating in New
York City is offering. long
distance calls to their
‘customers’ to anywhere in
the world, for as long as
they wish to talk. They
charge approximately $15
for this service.

To provide this service,
they cal] the main listed
number of a. business —
using stolen long distance
calling ‘card numbers —
hoping to reach the recep-
tlonist,

They then pose as a tele-
phone company technicians
— in the case of Terrace
that is B.C. Tel — and ask
to access an outside Line to
complete some repairs.

In order to. do the repairs,
the fake repair person asks
the receptionist ta dial ‘9’,
then ‘0’. This gives him ac-
cess to an outside line, and
dialing ‘0’ connects him to
an operator. Once in contact
with the operator, the caller
is free to place a call any-
where in the world.

These calls will show up
on a company’s bill as oper-
ator assisted calls: placed
from the main number. B.C.
Tel representatives say they

have scen charges of several
thousand dollars due to this .

against each other, with the end result that
