company's offices a couple of Sundays ago. A leaflet protest-
ing the dacision, saying local people aren't baing hired, has
also been distributed.

Beating results in jail time

A LOCAL man has been sentenced to two years in prison for the
savage beating of another man.

Gerald Harris, 43, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault last Thurs-
day. Judge Hd de Walle sentenced Harris to 27 months in prison
and fines totalling $650 for the assault and a series of other charges,

He had also pleaded guilty to two counts of breaching an un-
dertaking to abstain from alcohol, impaired driving, obstructing a
peace officer, refusing to provide a breath sample, failing to stop for
a police officer, and driving without a valid driver’s licence.

The incident took place in the early morning hours of Aug, 10, at
a house on Agar Ave. Harris went there and beat the occupant, a
man he suspected of having a relationship with his common-law
wife,

“He was severely beaten,” said Crown prosecutor Calvin Struyk,
“*He was hospitalized.’”

The man suffered a broken rib, extensive bruising, a shut eye, and
what Strayk Called a “‘mangled lip’,

B.C. Tel tightens up

Ir’LL BECOME more difficult to get B.C. Tel phone bills pro-
cessed as of November. That's because the phone company is stop-
ping the service at its Phoncmart here.

B.C, Tel spokesman Kathy Mears said the move follows the need
by the company-to save money. She said processing bills at
Phonemarts proved four times as costly as other methods,

Customers will still.be. able to drop off cheques in quick pay
boxes already in place at Phonemarts. They can also drop off cash
but there will then be no record of it being received, said Mears.

“You can put cash into the quick pay slot, but it will be less
secure than cash. We're not stopping people from paying in cash,
we're just saying it won't be as secure,”” Meats said.

Provincial consumer services minister Moe Sihota has protested
the moves to restrict payment by cash.

Mears said there won’t be any layoffs in Terrace as a result of the
new policy.

She said refusal of a B,C, Tel request to raise rates caused it to
look for ways lo save money.
