a Coffee time

CITY COUNCILLOR Ron Vanderlee pours a wel-
come cup of hal coffee for Peggy Julseth of the
Terrace Anti-Poverty Group Society at an all-night
campout Oct. 18 in front of city hall. A small group of
people gathered pledges for the local emergency
- shelter in return for staying outside overnight to
highlight the need for more affordable housing.
The city is asking other municipalities to urge the

provincial and the federal governments to increase
monies to combat homelessness in general. The
provincial government is also being asked to in-
crease specificially the shelter allowance portion of
social assistance payments in areas where housing
is expensive so as not to place an undue burden
on people who also have to buy food and other ne-
cessities.

Fruitless
search

TERRACE SEARCH and
rescue, volunteers, family
and friends of Alex Wes-
ley took to the woods west
of Terrace Oct. 15 in hopes
of finding the 65 year-old
man who’s been missing
since late June.

‘But all that turned up
was a pair of boots, and
it’s not known whether or
not-they belonged lo Wes-
ley. -

He was last seen head-
’ ing toward Terrace on the
West Kalum_ Forestry
Road or Old..Nass Road
about 15-20~ kilometres
north of Highway 16 be-
tween June 22-25,

According to Terrace
RCMP, the car he was in
with friends had crashed,
and he decided to walk
back to town.

“The vehicle went off
the road and rolled twice,”
said Cst. Gerry Brown,
“Alex Wesley and the dri-
ver got out, a female pas-
senger remained inside
with minor injuries.”

Brown said that the
RCMP hadn’t heard about

Wesley’s last known loca-
' tion until a few weeks ago.

“We immediately went
up there’ and walked
around with dogs,” he said.
“We turned up nothing al
that time.”

About two dozen people
participated in the search,
including about a dozen
family members and
‘friends that came from
Gitseguecla,

“We're looking for arti-
cles. of clothing, boots
anything that might have
belonged to Mr. Wesley,”
said John Van De Velde of
Terrace Search and Res-
cue beforehand.

Searchers spent more
than three hours scouring
the bushes. A single boot
was found, just south of
the search headquarters.

A subsequent sweep of
the area’ by all searchers
turned up the matching
‘boot but nothing clse was
found,

_ It’s not clear whether or
not the boot was Wesley's.

“I’m confident that Mr.
Wesley isn’t in this area,”
said Van De Velde, fol-
lowing the search.

"Last week, the Terrace

RCMP requested public
-help in their search for
more clues-in the case.
~ - Anyone who has any in-
formation is asked ta con-
tact the Terrace RCMP al
638-7400.

_ They want to talk to
anybody who may have
given someone a ride back
from the area,

“The person for persons]
“who may“have given these
pedestrians a ride are not
in any trouble,” said Staff-
Sat, Tom Forster.
