Hefty drug fine issued

TERRACE — A Terrace drug
dealer has been fined $12,000
for his part in a failed attempt
to import 50 pounds of high-
grade marijuana.

Robert Victor Bonner was
sentenced Sept. 10 to one day in
jail and ordered to pay a
$12,000 fine after he pleaded
guilty to conspiracy to traffick
in marijuana, +*:s,

The sentencing came two

weeks after Bonner’s partner —
Robert Erb — also pleaded guil-
ty. Erb was sentenced to a day
in jail, fined $12,000, and was
also ordered to forfeit a $28,000
GMC truck he bought with drug
trade profits.

The two Terrace men were ar-
rested on Oct. 3, 1988 near
Williams Lake, where RCMP
watched them complete a drug
transaction,

Police seized a sealed con-
tainer of 50 pounds of Thai
marijuana ~- worth nearly a
quarter million dollars on the
§treet — and the $60,000 cash
the pair had just handed over to
their North Vancouver supplier.

Several other northwest
residents were arrested in con-
nection with the drug sale. Two
other: defendents who have
pleaded not guilty to the charges

Man given one year to clean yard

TERRACE — Council has
given a Graham Ave. resident
until Aug. 31, 1991 to clean up
his property or the city will do it
for him and charge accordingly.

That decision followed a
Sept. 10 public hearing, the first
since the city began its
crackdown on what the
nuisance by-law describes as un-
sightly premises.

Enforcement officer Fern
Sweeting told aldermen she first
received complaints about the
property in late March of this
year, A visit to the property had
revealed a substantial part of
the lot was littered with derelict
vehicles, tires, large appliances
and “vast quantity of scrap’
metal.”’

Pointing out requests the prao-
perty be cleaned up had resulted

‘in “very little, if any improve-
. ment,” Sweeting said Don Gan-

son, father of owner Dean Gan-
son, had ‘‘indicated it may take
him two years,’’

Suggesting that was an
unreasonable amount of time,
she asked council to set a firm
deadline and advise Ganson if
the work was not done by that
date, city crews would do the
clean-up with the cost being ad-
ded to his next tax bill.

In reply, Ganson said the
scrap had been accumulated
over the 22 years the family had
lived there and it would

therefore take a lot of work to
remove it,

Arguing it was not ‘junk, ”
he said there was very little that

could not be re-used. ‘'It wasn't -

very. long ago (alderman) Mo
Takhar bought an axle out of
my back yard,” he pointed out.

Clean up would involve sor-

‘ting through ali of it to salvage

what was re-cyclable and then
arranging for a scrap dealer to
haul away the rest. He
estimated it would take a year to
do that, ‘‘All I’m asking for is
what's reasonable,’ he added.
In imposing the deadline,
council rejected alderman
David Hull's suggestion the
clean-up job be broken down
into stages, Ganson given a
deadline for each and the city
move in if he failed to meet any
one of these. While one for
completion of the job was ac-
ceptable, Hull argued ‘‘'The
neighbours deserve to see some
improvement before then.’’
Given the impossibility of any
clean-up operation once the
snow arrived, the potential dif-
ficulty of obtaining the services
of a scrap truck before spring
and the likelihood imposing a
number of deadlines would
simply iead to a series of battles
between the cily and Ganson,
council settled on the Aug, 31,
1991 date with the warning
there would be no extensions.

Unions promote
new store boycott

TERRACE — The Kitimat-
Terrace District Labour Council
wants members of its union af-
filiates to boycott a new fur-
niture store here.

United Buy and Sell, which
opens next week, used Tri-City
Contracting, a Kamloops-based
construction company, and out-
side workers and did not pay in-
dustry wages called for in union
contracts, said council president
Wilma Costain last week,

A majority of the sub trade

work, however, did go to locai.

firms.

Costain said the boycott re-
quest is being done in support
of building trades unions which
belong to the council.

She did not know how long
the boycott would last, what its
end result would be or if it also
applied to a video store leasing
space in the building.

“(The Jy! wants to tet
people from the outside know
that they should be using local
people and if we should support
them, they should support us.
You don’t bite the hand that
feeds you,’’ said Costain.

Members of building trades
unions last month picketed the
construction site, saying jobs
should not be going to outside
workers.

This is the second time in less
than a year the labour council
has called for a boycott, since
ended, of a retail operation,

Last fall it asked members to
boycott Terrace Co-op because
it chose a company to do a ma-
jor renovation project whose
workers were represented by a
union the council said did not
act in the best interest of the
workers and paid wages lower
than those in construction
union contracts,
