A2 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, December 14, 1994 News In Brief Light up your life THERE'S ONLY a few days Icft to get in your entry for this year’s Christmas lights contest. The deadline is Dec, 19 and judging takes place Dec. 20. Entry forms are available at any real eslate office. The Terrace branch of the North- west Real Estate Beard | is the event, There are four categories — best residential, best street, best theme and best commer- cial. Ambulance phone switch STEWART — RESIDENTS now have to phone a 1-800 number if they need an am- bulance. The number replaces a Stewart local one which had been answered by nurses at the Stewart hospital and health centre, But switching to a 1-800 number puts callers in direct contact with the ambulance service’s main dispatch centre in Kamloops, says regional ambulance manager Jody Holmes. ‘The nurses had another job to do and sometimes the phone could ring for awhile because they were busy,’’ he said, With Stewart converting to 1-800 there is now only one community in the northwest — Atlin — to have a local ambulance dispatch number. Holes said the Stewart ambulance gets called out ap- proximately 40 times a year. The new number is 1-800- 461-9911. More | ~ housing © HARD ON the heels of 10 new homes being built right now in Greenville in the Nass Valley is word of a 20-unit social housing project. The 20 units will be the first on-reserve social housing pro- ject of its kind in the north, says Mitch Stevens, housing chairman for the village government. “There’s Muks Kum Ol in Terrace and Meen-Sga-Nist in Prince Rupert but this is the first time for one on reserve, Tt took some doing and effort but we gat in through,’’ said Stevens. He estimates construction will start next May and that costs, excluding outfitting of the units, will be approxi- mately $1.8 million. Six of the 10 new homes now under construction are nearly at the shell stage, There are seven ticket carpenters from the village working on the $1 million project. Con- tractor is Polar Tech. Liquor store collects food THE PROVINCIAL liquor store in Terrace is putting out a bin to collect food for the Salvation Army Christmas hamper campaign and for the Terrace Churches Food Bank. Store represenative Barb Barker said last week the store will collect non- perishable food items up until Dec, 24 for the Salvation Army and thereafter for the food bank. The Terrace Churches Food Bank operates in November, takes December off in light of the Salvation Army hamper campaign and then starts again in January. Its November distribution was the highest ever for that month and stripped the bank of cash and of food items. The churches food bank’s next distribution period Is Jan. 9-12, OPEN UNTIL 11 P.

Although chlorination can also form harmful by-products, its benefits are much greater than the small risk of health effects from these compounds.
