TERRACE — Taking. up the
cry ‘“‘North to Alaska,’’ council

has agreed to spend up to

$10,000 to send.a trade mission

" to the neighbouring state.

Tourism and economic
development officer Peter
Monteith said plans called for a
chartered plane to whisk the
mayor, three aldermen, himself
and representatives from up to
nine local businesses to Ket-
chikan and Juneau, .

Noting selection of the
businesses to take part would be
based on the appropriateness of
their goods or service to the
Alaskan market, Monteith said
Shames Mountain Ski Corpora-
tion was one possibility, That
company has in the past in-
dicated it will target the Alaskan
market once the ski hill opens.

Although no decision on the
breakdown had been made yet,
he said the companies would be
expected to pay a portion of the
flight cost. They will also pay
their own accommodation ex-
penses.

TERRACE — Although 1989
was another banner year in the
local construction industry,
revised figures recently released
by the city show it was not quite
as spectacular as first indicated.

Senior building inspector Bob
Lafleur said the total value of
projects. undertaken last year
was $11.5 million — not the $13
million cited in his original year-
end report.

Explaining the error had oc-
cured in preparation of last Ju-
ly’s Figures, Lafleur said the
1988 year-to-date total for
several classifications had in-
advertently been entered in the
1989 column. Having passed
unnoticed, the mistake was car-
ried through the rest of the
year’s reports.

A re-examination of the 1989
figures now showed the true
figure for new industrial pro-
jects, for example, was
$657,000 and not the $3,02
million originally indicated.

Similarly, the total for new
institutional building had been
shown as $1.28 million although
no such projects had been
undertaken.

The error had the opposite ef-
fect on figures for commercial

operation and he didn’t look

like an Indian,

‘Bohit maintained he was part-
ly native, but Head said he
didn’t believe him. ‘If you're
an Indian, you’ve sure got the
wrong colour of hair,’? Head
recalled saying. “Some native
chief would probably like your
scalp hanging up in his lodge.”

Bohn had testified that Head
~ who was in the boat cutting
fishing line — put a knife to his
head and said ‘*maybe I should
lift your scalp.’ Head denied
the allegation and the fishermen ©
with him backed him up,

“This whole conversation
about natives, non-natives,
whites and blockheads was

doubt,”

Iverson did'find Head guilty °
of driving with a blood-alcohol [|
’ level over the legal limit of .03,

however, and fined him $500
and prohibited him from driy-
ing for one year.

Defence lawyer Douglas
Halfyard argued that after
Head’s car was stopped, the
RCMP never told him his rights
to legal counsel and to remain
silent until they were at the
RCMP detachment. But Iver-
son rejected that claim, noting
the officer involved — RCMP
Const, Sheryl Armstrong —
had eight years experience and
had dealt with more than 250
impaired driving cases.
