Graveyard flood
prompts action

A RECENT flood at the Terrace municipal cemetery has
prompted the city to consider pulting a rock pit in for
drainage there.

The heavy rains carly last week, on top of still frozen
ground, caused a portion of the road at the cemetery to
flood over, explained Steve Scott, head of the parks and
recreation department for the city.

The flooded road was an unpleasant surprise for at least
one person last week,

“T bought my mom a rose to put in there and I couldn't
get in,” said Margaret Stanvick. Her mother is buried ina
plot in the graveyard. ;

Stanvick didn’t want to walk around the flooded area be-
cause she didn’t want to have to walk over any other
graves. “ have more respect for them than that,’”’ she said,

Slanvick says she’s seen problems with flooding at the
cemetery before, but Scott said flooding ig not a common
problem.

Since the ground is quite sandy there, and the graveyard
is located far from any sewer line, no additional drainage
was ever included in the cemetery, he explained.

‘The city is also planning to pave the road that goes in
and around the cemetery this sumuner, said Scott.

But Slanvick thinks adequate drainage should have been
put in fom the first.

She’s also angry about beer cans she occasioually finds
in the cemetery. Once she found a full can of beer on the
grave next to her mother’s plat.

“I watched my mother live on life support systems for
six years. I don’t need any more of this crap,” she said.

Scott said the graveyard has no night time securily sys-

tem, but did say vandalism is rarely a problem in the
cemetery.

Poster power spreads

MEMBERS OF ihe Terrace Women’s
Resource Centre are hoping that a
poster campaign will encourage locals
to sign a petition calling for stiffer
sentences for violent offenders.

Nearly 70 Terrace businesses are dis-
playing the poster and they also have
petitions which will be sent to provin-
cial attorney-gencral Ujjal Dosanjh.

The campaign was sparked by the
sentencing last month of Ric White to
two years in prison and three years

probation for sexually assaulting his
estranged girlfriend,

Under Canadian law, those sentenced
to more than two years in jail arcn’t
subject to probation upon release.

Karla Hennig of the women’s centre
says il feels very strongly that this is
not just a justice system issue.

“It has to do with all of us,”’ she says.
“If they failed, we failed, and we all
need to talk about coming to a solu-
tion.”’
