At0 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, March 20, 1996 eT Police Beat Senior faces drug charge Tt was a case of the Mounties always getting their man, but this time, it wasn’t the man they were looking for. Last Friday night, Terrace RCMP busted a 66-year- ald man on drug charges, when they were actually out looking for an armed robber, It all began at about 8:30 p.m. when a man in ‘his late teens entered Riverside Grocery on Queensway, told the clerk he had a gun under his shirt and demanded money. No weapon was seen, and the robber got away on foot with a quantity of cash. In hopes of catching him, Constable’ Datig © Mar- chinew says police set up on a roadblock on Qucens- way about 15 minutes later, but ended up with another situation on their hands. He says the driver of a compact car threw something out of his window before police tried to pull him over. That something turned out to be a quantity of marijuana, and a search of the car turned up a large amount of cash. The man is being charged with dangerous driving and possession for the purpose of trafficking. Mugging suspect held A 17-YEAR-OLD from South Hazelton is scheduled to appear in court in Terrace next Thursday in connection with a downtown mugging. ; The teen, and 21-year-old Ronald Wesley Sampare, also of South Hazelton, are both chatged with robbery, assault, and assault causing bodily harm.

Scott says. he’s. been. criti-. cized for calling. on the government to reimpose transit fees. on American vessels passing through the walerway, “The Liberals have told 7 peuple like myself to be a a a quiet,”’ he said, Mike Scott And although government officials maintain a more measured, cautious approach is wise, Scott says the issue boils down to Ottawa’s indifference to B.C.’s problems. He pointed to external affairs minister Lloyd Axworthy’s recent comments thal compared to American efforts to penalize Canadian businesses that trade with Cuba, the west coast fishing dispule is ‘‘merely an annoyance,”’ “That gives you some idea of Otlawa’s priorities and Ot- tawa’s consideration of B.C. issues,’* Scott said. Congress has passed legislation that says the U.S. won't tolerate any action by Canada to impede the right of pas- sage of American vessels, and commands the Coast Guard to protect the rights of American vessels. Scott says the legislation is so offensive Canada can’t stand back and do nothing, lest the Americans think they can getaway with more. “We should immediately reimpose these fees if for na other reason than to indicate lo the Americans we don’t ap- preciate being bullied around and that these are sovereign . Canadian waters.’’ “Any attempt to enforce this legislation is an invasion of Canadian sovercignly,”’ he said, adding he can’t believe the U.S, would actually send in the Coast Guard. Transil fees were imposed two years ago in an effort to - bring the Americans back to the table to negotiate a fishing plan under the Pacitic Salmon Treaty. “This is one small lever we have to try to bring Alaskan fishing interests to the table to negoliate in good faith,”’ Scott said. , Without that lever, Americans can overtish Canadian sal- non as they swim through Alaskan waters and ignore Ca- nadian pleas to negotiate. Scott says the Americans have now categorically rejected recommendations made by a New Zealand-based interna- tional mediator to resolve the fishing dispute. ‘They have consistently overharvested the resource over the last four or five years, taking increasing numbers of Canadian fish,’’ Scott said. And he said this year’s U.S. election could mean more belligerence coming from south of the border, ; “YT don’t think we'd have seen the, American’ congress pass a bill like that unless if was an election year,"* Scott said. : On April 1st.
