Polish church to expand |
_by going into business _

“Members of a Pentecostal
church in the southern Polish ci-
ty of Gliwice are turning to free
enterprise to raise money.

The idea, says-a local pastor
recently returned from a visit to,
Poland, is to use profits from
businesses for church develop-
ment and to provide. employ-
ment.for church members.

“They're interested in
everything — fast food
restaurants, new products —
anything to bring. in revenue
and turn it back to the church,”' *
said Terrace Full Gospel Chris-
tian Fellowship pastor Slade
Compton.

“Their first thought was of
depending.on the west to pro-
vide. finances: That's. changed.
They're now out to work with real commitment, ” he said.

Officers added
to murder probe

TERRACE — Two extra
RCMP investigators from
Prince Rupert are helping local
police probe the 1974 murder of
Monica Ignas, after Terrace
RCMP received a number of
new leads in the case this sum-
mer.

“They've generated some in-
teresting information,’’ Prince
Rupert RCMP subdivision Sgt.
Wayne Watson said. ‘Now we
think it’s time to stop, sit back,
and re-analyze everything.’

The 15-year-old Terrace girl
dissappeared from downtown
Terrace in December of 1974 —
possibly while hitch-hiking —
and her strangled body was
found in a wooded part of
Thornhill the. following spring.

A massive RCMP investigation:
al. .the..time..failed :to..find. the -

killer.

A fresh attack on the case by
investigators here. this spring
turned up three new witnesses
who underwent hypnosis to give
police information about the
vehicle that may have picked the
girl up.

RCMP are now trying to
trace parts of a licence plate
number obtained through the
hypnosis. They hope to use
that, along with descriptions of
the vehicle, to find the driver of
the vehicle on that night in
1974,

Watson said the next step is
to take the new information and
compare it to the hundreds of
interviews police carried out in
the case over the last 16 years,

Two Prince Rupert RCMP

subdivision officers last week
joined Terrace Cpl. Don
Woodhouse, who is leading the
investigation, and Const. Lee
Oldham to begin the process of
reviewing the Ignas murder
case,

““We need to completely tear
the file apart and put it back
together again,’’ Watson said,
noting investigators have a
system to completely cross-
reference every fact and witness
in the case, ‘‘It’s very labour in-
tensive, but it’s the only way to
deal with it. You have to hteral-
fy tear the file apart and start
again from stage one.’'

He said that’s necessary
because the new information
could lend new meaning to
alder information which was.
previously discarded as irréle-
vant, considered unimportant at
the time, or was simply
overlooked.

After an initial month- long
drive’ at re-assessing the file,
Watson said a decision will be
made about whether another in-
vesligative team should be
brought in.

“When we do this something
seemingly small and unimpor-
tant can suddenly mean
something in light of the fresh
information,’ he said. “And
it's a lot of little things like that
that can come together and |
build a case.”

He said significant advances
have been made in the case this
year, but said much more in-
vestigation will probably be
needed before the case is solved
— if it ever is.

OFFICE.

' Q: I’m thinking of buying a new car in 1991.
How will the proposed GST affect prices?

A: The outgoing Federal Sales Tax(FST) is =|
now part of the price of new cars. So, while ‘|:
they will be fully taxed at 7% in 1991,
the expected effect of replacing the FST
with the GST on the average $22,000
mid-size car is a reduction of around $850.
