New RCMP inspector’s rank awaits official confirmation THE TERRACE RCMP detachment’s new com- manding officer hasn’t been town earlier this summer for -a very good reason. Dave Fenson, who had been a staff sergeant in Daw- -son Creek, won’t be a fully commissioned inspector un- called an.order in council. - That might not happen ~ until next month because of the summer recess amongst cabinet ministers and other - politicians i in Ottawa, Dave Fenson Prince in uniform since arriving in tila group of cabinet minis- _ - ters in Ottawa sign off on his: appointment through what’s: And until that occurs, ‘Fenson remains as an acting inspector and can’t'wear the - commissioned RCMP offi- cer’s uniform of dark pants. and a white shirt with appro- priate signs of rank. " _ He’s also being paid at an -acting commissioner level until his official promotion papers are signed. “It’s really one of those things. because of the sum- mer,” said Fenson last week. “Until it happens, I’m in an acting position.” Fenson’s official appoint- ment will be on parchment- like paper and he’ ll receive a copy at some point from a superior officer. There’s no official cer-— emony to go alongwith his’ appointment. The rank of inspector is the first in a series of com- missioned officer appoint- ments. Next. is superintendent followed by ‘chief superin- ; ‘assistant commis- sioner, deputy commissioner and, at the.top, commission- tendent, er. (AY superintendent in Prince George is in charge of detachments and services throughout the north, » George aboriginal agency to hire Highway of Tears managers AN ABORIGINAL social services agency wants to hire at least one person to put in place efforts to stop women from i _ hitchhiking along Hwy 16. Money for:the position comes from. the provincial gov-” ernment but the’ person would be responsible for finding _ more money, says Mary Teegee of the Prince’ George- based - Carrier Sekani Family Services agency. ~And-some of the money would be used to hire another person to work in Prince Rupert, she says... The positions stem from a report released earlier this year that lists everything from free bus rides to more police offi- cers as ways to stop women from hitchhiking along Hwy16 from Prince George to Prince Rupert. That stretch of road has been dubbed the Highway of Tears because at least 10 young women, all but one of whom is aboriginal, have disappeared since.1974. The bodies of several of the missing were subsequently discovered but no trace has ever been found of. the others. The report came out of a spring conference on the subject held in Prince George “{ think it’s a long time in coming and I’m really looking forward to hiring a coordinator right now,” said. Teegee. Whoever i is hired will have a complicated job in pulling. together existing services offered by a variety. of native and ° other groups, establishing new services and building aware- ness among government and other agencies. The complexity of what’s required i is why they want two co-ordinators, said Teegee. The spring conference in Prince Georg ge Was also financed by the provincial government and featured a list of speakers, including senior RCMP officers. » Native and other groups have been critical of how the - “RCMP has handled the investigations. The number of missing and murdered women along Hwy 16 has ‘caused speculation that perhaps one Person is responsible. Police in their investigations so far have not been able to tie together the disappearances and murders. » RCMP have now assigned eight officers to review ‘each of the cases. That follows two previous major file reviews in the past several years. 1 The Terrace Standard, 1, Wednesday, August 30, 2006 - A13 he best slaces to alay and s stay in.British Columbia better than yed: reading your stories and pictures and sharing them with our way BC... dventure Prince Rupert where you will-enjoy a ‘stay at the four-star Crest Q you and a guest will be taken for a day trip through the * Northwest wilderness with Prince Rupert Adventure Tours to view whales, grizzly ~ bears; or’on.a trip around Kaien Island.
