AB - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, May 17, 2000 ‘CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD ~ The Mail Ba This community > should be safe for all cowardly crime can cause. During my 1999 municipal election campaign, I was shocked by the magni- tude of violent crime when I looked into the local statistics, — owes DL believe-it is-important-that tight. is... shed on‘ this reprehensible crime and’ we should work to make our community safe for all whom live in it, Se Dear Sir: Congratulations to Sarah de Leeuw and the Terrace Women’s Resource Centre for its stand against violence against women as witnessed in its recent education effort. fen eerie aie Violence against women often goes unnoticed in our community. I personally know one of the 272 victims that: reported an assault to the police in 1999, I saw first hand the pain this kind of sheet Injuries Stop Here. James Fraser, ce ee Terrace, B.C. Jim Frase Detox location is not suitable for what it is Supposed to do Dear Sir: : In recent months Ujjal Dosanjh has made many changes ta the way the public is involved with govern- ment. Currently, British Columbians have one of the most transparent and accessible governments ever, So J was surprised to find out that a youth addiction facility has opened in my neighbourhood, without any notification to the neighbourhood in which it was placed. As a northerner, [ appreciate the money the Ministry for Children and Families has allotted for this facility. The youth residential program, which will assist youth in recovering from addictions, is desperately needed. We have had many youths die from alcohol poison- ing. The local high schools have declared a drug: free zone, in order to combat what is a serious drug problem among many of our communities youth. Iam not writing to express my disinterest in this fa- cility being in the Terrace area. ] am however concerned about the current location of the facility. The youth resi- dential program is currently located at 4805 Halliwell Street. The municipality has told Jeanette Anderson, that all parking for this program must remain on site. In recent weeks, there has been much overflow park- ing onto the road, blacking what is a very busy intersec- tion to pedestrians and drivers. 4805 Halliwell Street is also near, where the school district bus drops of children and is very close to the city bus stop. Uplands Elemen- tary School is .6 of a kilometre away, making the flow of traffic in front of this house very heavy. A daycare oper- ates directly across from 4805 Halliwell Street. This location is not only an inconvenience for the Support youth Dear Sir: I have been a youth, I am a mother of four youth, I work and advocate for youth, and I can't under- stand why there exists op- position to a detox centre to help our youth who are asking for help in becom- ing drug free? Do we as individuals, parents, community mem- bers support the drug-free lifestyles and if so, why the resistance to aid us in attaining it? These kids are somebo- dies and they could be yours and mine. We need to be reminded that this centre is a voluntary one and that these kids are wanting help in beating their addiction and living a healthier life style. I believe people will agree that we have a great need for this centre ta exist and that we have been given the opportunity to open one in ovr com- munity is a good thing. We know that drugs and alcohol are a reality for many people, adults and youth and we are now being handed funding to provide a service to ad- dress these issues. I know some of the people involved with the petition against the detox centre’s location, good people, parents, and sup- porters of youth activities in our area. I ask each of them to reconsider such a petition and let us, as I too live on the bench, think of the kids, Let us think if it was our child and how grateful and supportive we would be to have such a service close by so that we did not have to isolate our child further. Finally let us show the kids that we support them in their battle and want them in our community, and that they are valuable to all of us and that they are more important than the remote possibility of a drop in property value Debbie Scarborough, Terrace, B.C, WISE BUYERS READ THE LEGAL COPY: ‘Lease a now 2001 Explorer 2-Door Spart with Premium Sport & Conveniance groups/2000 neighbourhood. The house is also a poor location. It bor- ders the. back yards of many other houses, who can all look in on the activity of the people in the home. ‘There. is no room in the small backyard for clients to get out and loss a frisbee, or kick a soccer ball. There is also no front yard to do these things,:as the front yard is utilized by staff to park on. ee Jeanette Anderson has mentioned that 30 per cent of her clients are going to be of First Nations descent. The small yard at 4805 Halliwell will not allow the program to use any traditional first nations methods of healing. On a larger property, a sweat lodge could be built for both First Nations and other clients. I suggest the program be moved. The new location should not be in the middle of a very busy intersection. This would allow for professionals to work with the staff as needed on the location, without the fear of where they park causing a hazard to pedestrians and traffic as they move through the neighbourhood, ; A new sile would also allow visitors to come and see clients ‘without this same fear. The program should be on a site in which clients are able to use a back or front yard for recreational or healing purposes. 1 would strongly suggest thal the ministry lift any gag order, as Jeanette Anderson has insisted she had put on her, Jeanette could canvas the neighborhood in to which she was putting the program into, in a way which would be aligned with the current attempts by the NDP to have an open, honest, and transparent government, Megan Reid, What are you doing this weekend? 2001 Explores 2-Ocar Spar 24-month fease with $4995 down Purchase: *32,255t 4.01, SORG VG © S-Speed Automatic Huns:nssing # 4-Whocl ABS © Av Conditioning © AM/FM Slereo with Singte CD player # Power Windens/Locks/Mitors .
