B16 Terrace Review _ Wednesday, September 26, 1990

A year ago this week —

I Terrace made national head-
lines. A fiery crash near the
Terrace-Kitimat airport killed all
seven people aboard Skylink flight
070 and the safety of our airport
was being questioned by provincial
and national media. But not only
the airport was being blamed.
Questions were being asked about
the safety of Skylink’s flight pro-
cedures, Transport Canada had
filed more than 70 charges against
the company for air transport rule
violations over a two-month period
the previous spring. And it was
said smoke from controlled burns
in the vicinity of the airport may
also have been a contributing
factor. |

t was a year ago Tuesday that |

-Heritage Park had a brand new
old artifact. A Nass Valley resi-
deni, Mr. Hughan, left the park a
60-year-old wagon in his will and
a year ago this week the wagon
was moved to Heritage Park by

Alec and Judy Houlden. under .

. Ten years younger than that old
wagon was the marriage of Terrace
oldtimers Norma and Bill Bennett,
who threw a three-day celebration
a year ago this week to mark their
50th wedding anniversary. It was a
gala affair with greetings and best
wishes from family, friends and

"The bottom line is if you want the services you

have to pay for them."

—~ Regional district director Andy Burton on the

GST.

Things were in motion around
the city. At least a few things
were. Public Works took delivery
of their new $149,000 John Deere
grader from Coast Tractor. It was
in motion. But the pool expansion
project completion date of late
September was scrapped. There
had been a delay in the delivery of
roofing materials and this city
initiative was at best only in slow
-motion.

And an item not really in any
sort of motion at all was a solution
for cooling off the arena banquet
room. It been designed with a
whole wall of windows to offer a
grand view of our city but the
windows had created an un-
intended sauna, Alderman Mo
Takhar asked the recreation depart-
ment to search for an answer; if air
conditioning was too expensive
maybe they could at least install
some fans.

Superintendent of parks and
recreation Steve Scott had a less
expensive, simpler idea — a duct-
ing system to exchange the tropical
banquet room atmosphere with the
sub-arctic temperatures of the
arena itself. But the ball was in
council’s court. Nothing would
happen until they budgeted some
money to correct the problem.

Of course it was true the city
was short of money, but they were
working on a potential source.
Bylaw enforcement officer Fem
Sweeting had begun work and was
busily reviewing city bylaws in
preparation for the day her ticket
books would arrive. Soon, it was
hoped, Sweeting would be writing
tickets and violaters would be
paylng the price.

3 rork was progressing on
the Clark Road upgrade
in Thornhill. A 1.5-

metre paved shoulder on the cast
- side of the road was scheduled for
completion before the end of Octo-
ber and although there would be
no new crosswalks, bold stop lines
were to be painted at Clark and
Paquette. And highways district
manager John Newhouse said there
- was more to come. Old Lakelse
- Lake Road where it intersects with
Clark Road was to become a "no
| passing" zone and next year (1990)

; : ‘something would be done to make

array of politicians including the
prime minister, leader of the oppo-
sition, the B.C.  Lietuenant
Governor and the Teirace mayor.
Donations were falling. like the
autumn rain. B.C. Telephone and
the Telecommunications Workers’
Union raised $304 for the Terrace
Food Bank, thanks to the efforts of
Sam. and Kathy Mansouri who
organized a Bowlarama. Skeena
MLA Dave Parker handed over a
cheque for one-third of the esti-
mated cost of $25,000 for moving
and restoring the 1912 Kitwanga
CNR Station to the Kitwanga
Church property. The building was
to become the centrepiece of the
Kitwanga Lions Club. And Parker
had another lottery cheque in hand.
This one, for $9,383, went to the
Thornhill Community Centre and
would help pay for renovations and

new furniture.
E topics of discussion for
the regional district board
a year ago this week, and with two
exceptions they gave it a heavy
thumbs down. Les Watmough
pointed out that American tourists
could get a rebate; thus allowing
them to purchase Canadian goods
for a lower price than Canadian
citizens. And Harry Nyce said that
if the GST were imposed everyone
would be playing "catch-up"; In-
dustry, manufacturers and unions
would ali be looking for more
money to cover higher costs for
materials and transportation.

In the other corner, though,
Stewart director Andy Burton said,
"The bottom line is if you want the
services you have to pay for
them." And Terrace director Bob
Cooper said that even though the
nine percent proposal was too
high, there was "some balancing
going on" and in the long run we
could expect prices on some goods
to go down after the GST went
into effect.

A motion urging Brian Mulroney
to scrap the GST passed easily.
The opposing votes of Cooper and.
Burton were recorded for posterity.

Only one story from the business
front... but it made the front page.
Sunday shopping was gaining
support from the Terrace and Dis-
trict Chamber of Commerce. A’

he GST was one of the

captors tyne picasa as a Mere ghey te a

telephone poll of 366 homes in the
Kitimat, Hazelton, the Nass Valley,
Stewart and Cassiar regions
prompted president Bob Park to go
on record at city hall saying Sun-
day shopping holds great economic
benefits for Terrace.

School District 88 was in the
news. They had been lobbying the
Ministry of Education for funds for
cafeterias and a hot lunch program
in northern schools but had run
into a wall of bureaucratic indif-
ference. The board of trustees was
considering going on their own in
training a teacher for the hearing
impaired, though. If the idea was
approved, it would be the first time
the district had ever provided
professional: upgrading funds for a
teacher, Another item under con-
sideration was a request for Els-
worth camp residents for a school
of their own. Elsworth camp is
about 40 miles south of Meziadin
and a meeting was set to discuss
the matter with parents there.

Northwest Community College
was broadening their horizons.

Registrar Brian Loptson and
Marine Studies instructor Capt.
Ben West were back from Thai-
land where the college was pro-
moting an.exchange of college

level programs. If the Thai tie was ~

tied, it would mean exchange
programs in subjects like Marine
Studies, Cook Training and Hospi-
tality.

up and running. Student organizers
were looking forward to the chal-
lenge of their first season and had
a number of special events on the

n sports, the newly refur-
bished NWCC. students rac-

agenda, Racquetball and squash TZ

lessons and leagues would be
standard fare but under the heading
of "unusual" there would also be a
community Wallyball league and
for the less competitive spirit, Eye
ppener Wallyball. Whatever that

oe 1989 Skeena Valley Golf
and Country Club ladies’ club
championships were history by this
time a year ago this week. Among
the proud winners with a prize
displayed onthe mantle were low
gross winner Leona Wilcox and
overall low net champ Marion
Broom. -

And the last word this weck goes
‘to the Terrace Peaks Gymnastics
Club, who were tallying up the
success of their first ever H.B.O.

Mini-Trades Fair a year ago this -

week. The fair was listed as a
"moderate" success by organizers;
good enough to build on in the
years to come. 7
