A2 - The Terrace Standard Wodnosby, September 2, 1998 ‘Bars raided RCMP and customs officers from Vancouver inspected three Terrace hotels and one restaurant Aug. 17. Both the Terrace Inn and the Coast Inn of the West had late cighties stock — including some ‘88 brandy — seized because they were unable to provide receipts. The Northern Moter Inn and Gim’s restaurant were searched but it’s not known what, if anything, was seized. “We're looking for stolen, American or Alaskan alcohol,” said Dick Gratton the officer in charge of the investigation. Gratton, a liquor distribution representative, and a group of officers say they surprised each restaurant by walking in, identifying themselves and asking to immediately see all bar stock and matching receipts, If booze was purchased in Alberta or Alaska, t the bottles were seized. “They? re taking tax money and resources out of my pocket,” said Gratton, “This is not a victimless crime — you and [ are the victim.” Gratton said inspectors also looked for home-brew wine, watered down alcohol and ‘pre-made drink mix. In total, 22 northwest bars and restaurants were inspected from Smithers-to Prince Rupert. Two bars passed without any infractions. Officials are in the process of investigating the charges. , Angel gets evicted THE man others call Michael the Archangel was evicted from his Greig Avenue apartment Monday at 2:15 p.m. Michael Anthony Wallace, who recently moved here from Prince Rupert, faces charges of obstruction and assault of a police officer. August rent has not yet been paid the apartment where he and three women were living. The arrest is the result of a lengthy arbitration and appeal process involving one of the women living with him, landlords Richard and Wendy Petit and social services. At his arrest, Wallace shouted that the rent had been paid before police dragged him to a waiting police car. “The rent is paid, the rent is paid. I haven’t done anything,” said Wallace, claiming he was wrongfully arrested. As of Manday moming, Wallace has refused to be Finger- printed. Wallace has strict religious beliefs and has previ- ously refused to be fingerprinted for almost five weeks in relation to a mischief charge when he refused to leave a Kincolith residence he was visiting last June.

That means if Nechako ever loses the maintenance contract, the compound can be sublet to the new maintenance company. Bell Pole’s Ian Smith said the company was already planning to reduce the amount of land it occupied and look at marketing the rest in response to difficult times in the industry. “We were looking at in- ventory consolidation and minimizing our footprint on the site,’” he said. “When we were ap- proached it seemed to be a very good fit in terms of our needs, their needs and the timing of this,”’ ing Stew Christensen said initial estimates indicate it will cost the city around $250,000 to extend a 10- inch water line from the Frank St. well all the way to the Bell Pole property.
