FROM FRONT Justice idea adopted: for adult of- fenders, Scott says that’s up to the community, A case of arson, for ex- ample, was handied using this method in Australia. Scott is talking ta police here about setting up a group, and says they’re in- terested, However, noth- ing has been decided yet and their support is criti- cal, she says. In addition to the police, volunteers are also needed to help set up these groups. **But it’s not a compli- cated, bureaucratic pro- cess,’’ she says. ‘It’s very low-tech, low-cost and close to home.”’ NEW CROWN counsel Rita Scott brings a diverse back- ground to her new job pros- ecuting criminals here. She’s worked as a nurse, teacher, social worker, probation officer, then celebrated her 50th birthday by going back to school to become a lawyer. She's also worked as a program director for the al- cohol and drug centre in Golden, is a founder of the Quesael food bank and the Victoria rape relief centre, And in between causes, she likes to squeeze in a bit of kayaking. “If you live long cnough, you get to do almost any- thing,’’ she says, laughing, Before coming to Terrace Scott worked as Crown counsel in Fort St. John. She says she won’t be SS Rita Scott focusing on any type of cases in particular, since Prosecutor heads for P.G. WHETHER HE was tossing knives and tomahawks or throwing questions at suspected drug dealers, Carl Gustafson hit his mark. The 45-year-old lawyer has been serving as Crown Counsel in Terrace for the ‘past three years. But last week he packed his things and headed off to Prince George. The move will make it easier for Gustafson to visit family in Edmonton and Vancouver, but he says he'll miss Terrace. “I've made a lot of good friends in the northwest,’’ he says. “T’ll be back to visit for sure,”" In Terrace’s courtrooms, Gustafson represented the public, prosecuting those ac- cused of criminal activities in our community. During the past three years, Gustaf- son has put away his fair share of bad guys. The job of Crown Counsel is similar to that of ihe Dis- trict Attomey in the U.S., a * job popularized by the hit television show Law and Order. “It’s a reasonable estima- tion (of the job),’? Gustaf- son says. ‘‘But what takes 40 minutes on the show takes weeks, months or maybe years to accomplish . in reality,” Gustafson compares his job to a game of poker, pointing out that the defense has advantages which can prove very [frustrating for the prosecution. “Crown Counsel has to show all their cards, but the defense doesn’t,’ he says. “And they can evaluate their position based on what the Crown has,”” An active member of both Rolary Clubs and the Rod and Gun Club, Gustafson was also known for his prowess with tossing knives. ‘ST guess people won’t be secing me practicing with a block of wood in my back- yard anymore,’ he says. 4711D KEITH AVE.
