A12 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, July 26, 199 Triathlon unveiling | Have boat, will travel THE TERRACE WATER RES- CUE puts its new boat into use for the first time at the Skeena Valley Triathlon at Lakelse Lake on July 30. , The rescue group has been rais- — ing money for a boat for a num- ber of years, So far, $18,000 has been collected from bingos and donations, of which $10,500 was given by the Terrace Rotary Club. “The boat will help improve our immediate response time by quite « bit,’? says Dave Jephson, president of the water rescue society. “In the past we've had ex- cellent support from B.C. Parks, and members of the community have also helped out, but it will. make a big difference to have a boat on standby and-ready to go _ Te from the downtown area.”’ The boat is 19 fcet long, with a 150 hp engine and 15 hp kicker. it’s equipped with spotlights and wiring for night searches, and was built by Neid Enterprises, Total boat costs to date are $24,000, with $5,000 worth ex- pected in the future to purchase radios, life jackets and pike poles. ‘We stil have a lot of fundrais- ing left to do,’” says Jephson, The water rescue boat is entered in the Riverboat Days parade, and will also be on hand as a safety measure during the ‘Terrace Rotary Club’s wild duck race on August 7, “We thought it was fitting we be there, since the bulk of the - money from the boat came from *~” last year’s duck race,’’ says Jeph- son. . i cost to grow THE CITY is going to have.to | pay about $100,000 a year more: for keeping prisoners at the” RCMP lockup. - “84 The city shares with the federal ” and provincial governments in the cosis of keeping prisoners there. All of the expenses are paid by the city, which is then reimbursed - for a portion of those costs. But city treasurer says the che- ques paid to the city from the RCMP have been about $9,000 ~ °> less than usual each month. The city is supposed 1o pay the | entire cost of prisoners arrested . within: city limits. They're referred to as = ‘“‘municipal ©~ prisoners”, And the RCMP picks up the =~ cost of “provincial prisoners’ caught outside city limits. City administrator Bob Hallsor says it appears RCMP accoun- tants have just recently realized they were reinbursing the city for more than they should and have moved to correct the problem, City councillor David Hull said the city las to find a way to reduce RCMP costs to make up . the difference, He proposed cutting two of- ficers from the detachment, and possibly adding a photo tedar camera to replace a traffic officer, Insp. Steve Leach said photo radar is not part of his plan for the detachment, noting they’ve just recently added a highly accurate laser radar unit. Council decided to take no im- mediate action, but will be look- ing for ways to save money on policing by the end of the year. City councillor David Hull said there is an obvious solution. “T think the whole secret is to arrest them afl outside of city limits,’® Hull said. ‘“Put each one in a white Bronco and have them drive slowly towards Thornhill.'' The city is still trying to get the RCMP to honour its agreement to pay part of the cost of a $32,000 video image booking system for recording mugshots, For years, Pat wanted ) to quit smoking... ie Then he got COLD FEET.
