Health money welcomed NORTHWEST HEALTH officials have welcomed the chance to put an extra $250,000 a year from now on into community-based mental health programs. The money is part of a $10 million package announced late Jast week by the health ministry. , “This és for community rehabilitation, for housing and for residential care to keep people from being instiutionalized. We're very light aa the ground in this region for these kinds of services,” said Dr. David Bowering, head of the Northwest Community Health Services Suciety, He also said the plan to base one person in Terrace to help people with mental disorders who end up in the court system Michael Leisinger of the Terrace Area Community Health Council, which runs Mills Memorial Hospital, said more money for community care will ease the pressure on north- That’s because people with disorders are often admitted as patients in the absence of any other programs, he said. “We still have to apply for the money, but a northwest committee has been working on a plan and we're confident we can get it submitted very soon,” said Leisinger. TWO TERRACE youth are set to appear in court Nov, 24 atter they allegedly robbed K & M Mushroom depot on One adult was released Oct. 2 until his Oct. 30 court date, while the two minors will not appear until Nov, 2nd.

A an hans Press dates set FROM FRONT Leclerc, Turner out of school budgettalks | SOP ES SU pat Leclere has agreed to leave the room when the board discusses how it will eliminate its $1.1 million budget deficit. Terrace trustee Gary Turner has also agreed to abstain from this round of budget lalks since his wife is a teacher, Chairperson Campbell said the two Terrace trustees would be left out of at least one budget meeting a month plus any other regular meetings when budget talks begin. When asked, whether the two missing Terrace trustees would | cause an unlevel playing field within the board, Campbell said, “We've been trying’to make this as equal as possible. You're looking across the whole district (for cuts),” Campbell added that the board can‘t cut any more from the Kitimat board office since there the office there has been eliminated. Regarding cuts in other areas, she said: “Nothing is untouch- able any longer. There is no sacred cow.” Leclere resigned from his chair position Oct. 9 so he could be free as a trustee to represent the community without the restric- tive neutrality that goes along with being board chair. Calling the board dysfunctional, he said he'd have more of a say on educational matters as a trustee. Leclere said he and Turner will resume budget talks once this $1.1 million deficit has been dealt with. FROM FRONT Gov't to decide fate of B-36 relics: pound in Terrace, where they sit now, Borutski said. But exactly where the relics of the bomber’s ghost- ly and fiery flight 48 years ago end up is something provincial government offi- cials will decide. David Suttill, a project of ficer at the archacology branch of the ministry of smal! business, tourism and culture, says other groups may also be interested in the items. He noted the Smithers mu- seum has expressed some interest, and said there might be interest from other groups and aviation muse- wins as far away as the U.S. Suttil] said the ministry will make its decision after there’s been time for any in- terested parties to make proposals. “There are other groups that have an interest in this but didn’t go in and take the stuff out,” he said, “1 don’t think it’s really fair for us to make a quick decision saying ihe people who took the stuff out are allowed to keep all of it.”’ Suttile says he hopes the cannons and other material will find their way to a local museum and not remain in private hands. He said the focus should be on protecting the crash site from future pillaging, leaving enough intact to make the site a true heritage site, Tn fact, Suttile says he would like to see one of the cannons retumed to the site. The Broken Arrow group told police it had removed the weapons, which lead. to Sutlill’s department getting involved, Although the legislation protects as a ‘‘heritage wreck’? plane and = ship wrecks more than two years old, RCMP decided charges wouldn’t be laid because there was no criminal intent to break the law. That upsets Dirk Septer, a researcher of the crash, who says the pilferers should be proseucted, “The RCMP have a list of everything taken. These people should be changed. What else is the legislation good for?” he says. Borutski said some people will be angry material was removed, but said the society wants to work with other groups and js offering helicopter transport for Sep-. ter atid others who want to place a memorial plaque at the site, A2 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, Octoner 21, 1998 Treaty faces court test Liberals, fishermen launch court challenge on constitutional grounds THE B.C. Liberal party has joined a commercial fishing organization in asking the B.C. Supreme Court to order the provincial government to hold a referendum on the Nisga‘a treaty. in documents. filed Monday, Liberal leader Gordon Campbell said the treaty changes the Canadian constitution and so requires a referendum under provincial law. Much the same argument was put forward by the B.C. Fisheries Survival Coalition when it filed last week. Campbell said the treaty will establish a Nisga’a govern- ment with powers, in specified areas, that prevail over fed- eral and provincial jurisdiction. And he said it will deny non-Nisga’s citizens living on Nisga’a lands the right to vote for or participate in Nisga’a government. “We maintain that these measures can not be brought into effect by provincial and federal legislation unless and until reso- lutions to amend the Constitution have been introduced and adopted in the Legislative Assembly and Parliament,” said Campbell. “Tt is especially unfortunate that the Nisga’a should find them- selves confronted with a final agreement that was honourably negotiated on their part — but which nevertheless contains a model of self government that we believe to be unconstitu- tional,” Campbell added. . The fisheries survival coalition opposes the setting up of a guaranteed Nisga’a commercial fishery. as a side agreement to the treaty. “We recognize that nobody else will protect our interests, so at great expense we have ensured that the Courts hear the perspec- tive of the average Canadian fisherman,” coalition spokesman Phil Eidsvik said last week. Premier Glen Clark has responded to the two court actions by saying the government will vigourously defend the Nisga’a treaty. “[t is unfortunate and disappointing that opponents of the treaty fail to realize that negotiation — not litigation — is the way to solve land claims,” he said. The provincial government has been arguing that the treaty doesn’t change the constitution. Instead, Clark and others have said, the treaty detines native rights under the constitution. : Progressive Democratic Alliance leader Gordon Wilson says he might file for intervenor status to oppose the Liberal court action. ; Wilson said he’s convinced the treaty does not amend the constitution. - Spending boosted . The court actions come as the provincial government nearly doubled — to $5 million — its public relations campaign to sel! the treaty. oe Almost $1 million of the money is being put into a series of television commercials which began airing this week. _ The province has established an experienced group of nearly 25 public relations officials to distribute and to take questions on the treaty. - mon Key officials in the negotiations are also fanning out across the province for speaking engagements. =" 7 ra Mak From now on you have to pay a refundable deposit on most ready-to-drink — beverage containers.
