"OF 20 phone calls made to a. Crimestoppers number in Prince Géorge, one pertained to Terrace, RCMP Sgt, Ken Craig from that, city ‘said last week. It came in the morning after the program aired, he said. “That information is being sent to the local RCMP detach- Head horseman here notes ment for further investigation. Meanwhile, Vancouver police which handled calls from a province-wide tips line to do with the TY program = ac- cumulated 162 tips. None of those are from this area but but that doesn’t mean nobody from here called, said Set. Dave Baker of the Van- couver police department. ‘We received well over 200 calls. The list we have is from calls we received enough infor- mation to act upon immediately or to continue to investigate,” he said. Northwest Crackdown con- tained segments on narcotics and alcohol abuse and on subse- quent law enforcement and community involvement efforts in B.C, and in the northwestern United States. The broadeast in this region was bolstered by interviews with Prince Rupert and Terrace RCMP officers. “The reaction was very positive,” said Baker of com- ments received by his depart- ment following the program. Constable Jamie Praticante, the local RCMP detachment’s community relations officer, said one phone call was received at detachment’s regular number during the program. That phone call was from a in the saddle TERRACE —-Hats off — regulation and otherwise — to local RCMP detachment com- manding officer Inspector Lawrence Yeske who notes 30 years in the force this Friday. “I joined to be of service to my country and to see the coun- try and I've certainly done that,’’ said Yeske last week. He took the service oath Jan. 31, 1962 in his hometown of Kamlocps before training in Regina and a first posting in North Battleford, Saskat- chewan. Over the years Yeske has served in Saskatchewan, On- tario and B.C. The inspector already has a long service medal for his 20th anniversary, a bronze clasp for 25 years and will now receive a silver clasp for 30 years. That'll probably be presented at a formal occasion later this year, said Yeske. The RCMP officer in charge of northwestern B.C., Superintendent Bob Fenske bas- ed in Prince Rupert, also notes 30 years this year. He was a troop mate with Yeske during training.
