A2 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, July 29, 1998 [STOP Press NEWS" “Body found THE BODY of a 40-year-old Terrace man was found Monday northeast of Terrace. Two watershed restoration workers found the man in his parked car around [Qa.m. near Kalum Lake Drive and Lean-to Creek. Terrace RCMP say the body appears to have been there for several days. RCMP are investigating the cause of death and are withholding the man's identity until family members are notified. Back in business PSYCHIATRIC PATIENTS from outside the area are once more being admitted to Mills Memorial Hospital’s psych unit thanks to the temporary biring of a psychiatrist. Dr. Karl Enright began work Aug. 31 and will be on duty until Aug. 16, temporarily ending a ban on admissions to the 10-bed psych unit for people from outside the Terrace area, That ban came after local general practitioners said serv- ices at the unit were too inadequate to admit those patients. Although there are three psychiatrists on duty in Terrace, they haven't been active at the psych unit although one has been providing advice. Prince Rupert health care professionals said the admis- sions ban caused problems for coastal residents in need of more advanced care. A local physician, Dr. Gillian Hodge, who has operated a geriatric outreach program in the region, will work at the psych unit for three months, beginning Aug. 17. Dr, Enright, formerly of Riverview, will also be in con- tact with out-of-town patients and health care professionals by telephone and will work with Northwest Community Health Services Society mental health workers. Court bid fails A GROUP of dissident Nisga’a opposed to yesterday’s initialling of the Nisga’a land claims treaty failed in their last-minute bid to halt the proceedings. From Kincolith, one of four Nisga’a villages, the group had said the 1996 Agreement in Principle, which formed the basis for the treaty, was not approved by enough Nisga’a in 1996. And they felt the agreement and subsequent treaty gave up too much land and resources. But Kamloops-based Supreme Court Justice Robert Hunter found that the group did not act ina timely manner but waiting until 1997 to file their claim. The group now has the option of organizing opposition to a referendum needed by the Nisga’a io approve the treaty.
