become the home for a new cor-

. rectional centre.

owner of a five-acre. ‘parcel
under option property under
negotiation and didn’t know
who owned another seven-acre

Drug sting draws.

TERRACE — Drug trafficking
charges are pending against nine
Terrace men following “an
undercover sting operation car-
ried out by RCMP officers at
the beginning of the month.

An undercover officer bought
primarily cocaine and LSD dur-
ing the eight-day operation, said
Terrace RCMP Cpl. Don
Woodhouse. -

He said most Of the + purchases

were of cocaine in ‘single-gram
amounts, and LSD in blotter
paper form. A small amount of
marijuana was also bought.

It was the Terrace detach-
ment’s second such sting opera-
tion in about. 10 months.

“We picked up a fair amount
of intelligence as to the goings-
on in the bars and how local
Terrace dealers use the bars to
distribute their cocaine and

other drugs,’”. he said.

Cocaine is now selling in Ter-
tace: ° $190 ‘a gram,
Woodhouse added.

BCBC, the provincial govern-
ment’s fandlord, was looking at
a large parcel in the park last
year but it was bought instead

by Skeena Cellulose for a log

storage yard..

Skeena Cellulose vice presi-.
dent .Reg Lightfoot said last ~

week the company was prepared
to sell a small portion but
preferred not to.

“Tf they’re in dire need we'll
do that.
because we have long term plans
for that site,’’ he said.

’ Local B.C. Hydro spokesman :

Roy Stavely said negotiations.

“between it and BCBC were in a’

‘delicate stage."

Getting the property could
mean the end of a more than
two-year search for a new jail

cessful, the. project then has to
go through a city public: hearing
