Terrace’s first airshow was a grand success, according to the
Terrace Kiwanis Club, .
_ _ Nearly 10,000 people showed up in the less than good weather
_ to see feats of aerobatic performance and to be entertained by a
number of famous and semi-famous fliers, —° ;
Among the parlicipating guests: were Esther Renner, Howie
Keefe, Skip Volk, Jug Shoaf, Pat Johnston and Cece Sorensen.
These people, along with the Air-Sea Rescue Team from the
Ministry of Transport, the Terrace Skydivers and others,
treated the citizenry of Terrace to two days of some of the best
entertainment that exists. . .
The Honorary Chief of ail Indian Tribes in B.C,, Chief Da
George was on hand as a special Kiwanis Guest to sign
autographs. While in town, he spoke and sang for a capacity
crowd at the Tillicum Theatre at the showing of Little Big Man,
and spoke dt the air-show banquet, _
Esther Renner, the celebrated star of the Syndicated TV
series “Esther’s Freedom Machine” flew around in a static
display of flying skill. Her TV show is about a young secretary
who buys.a plane gets her flyer’s licence, and gets away from it
all inweekend holidays. During her stay in Terrace, Esther and
members of her TV crew Dale Nelson and Tom Fleming visited
fishing spots, logging camps, the air show and a number of other
things that will be featured in the serial. ;
Howie Keefe was also on hand in his P-51 Mustang, which he
calls Miss America. Howie and his plane demonstrated racing
rolis, turns and so on, and signed autographs for many more-
than-interested persons,
His sponsoring company, the Cox Company, had a booth with
models of Miss America on sale. Howie is very well known in
the flying fraternity for his abilities as an unlimited class racer,

possible in his high-powered and souped up Chipmunk, a
deHavilland training aircraft. .

This plane has been completely renovated into a high- .
performance aerobatic machine, and among the feats Skip

. performed was the dreaded Lomcevak.. This feat is a wild array

of tumbling, turning, and twisting, and at a glance it looks Jike.
the craft is completely out of control. The word Lomcevak
means Headache, and to see the stint, itis easy to understand
where it got it’s name. Te , . i

Skip also flies a Pitt Special, which is an aerobatic bi-plane,
and one of the most manoeverable in the business, The bi-plane
was not featured at this show, but will be here next year. .

Jug Shoaf demonstrated a number of classic aerobatic
manoevers in his stock champion Citaborea, Jug showed
confident and smooth action in his craft, .

Pat Johnston, a former Terrace resident and son of Mr. and
Mrs. Ted Johnston did'aerobatic demonstrations in a Citaborea
as well, and towed aloft Cece Sorensen ina glider,

Cece really amazed the crowd with his abilities in the craft,
performing loops and hanimerheads in the non-powered airship.

The Air-Sea Rescue Sikorski §-61 demonstrated it’s flying

capacity to the.crowds, and performed a replica of a rescue in

front of the thousands of fascinated watchers.

Despite bad weather conditions, the Terrace Skydivers Club
gave an excellent display, complete with smoke bombs, They
are to be commended for a good job well done. .

The Kiwanis wish to thank the Skeena Valley G.R.S. club for
roe part in the ‘show, as they were an invaluable asset to the
show.

Also to be thanked is the Northwest Stock Car Association.
‘They took an active part in the show, and supplied their P.A,

District of Terrace
looking for. snow

The District of Terrace is
seriously thinking about
purchasing some sidewalk snow
removal equipment to combat
weather conditions this winter.

The idea was introduced at
Monday night's council meeting
when Administrator Jack
Hardy read a letter from the
Bombardier equipment

Inthe letter company sales |:
‘taanager L.L. Parayre stated
‘that the most compelling reason
for sidewalk plowing of snow is
to ensure pedestrian safely,

He said this holds true
particularly in residential areas
where children must walk
several blocks to school, - .

When sidewalks are blocked
by snow, both children and
adults must walk in busy traffic
areas thus endangering their
lives, he said. ; ;

Although no purchase plans
were honestly discussed. nor
established Monday night. the
council members seemed to’
agree that such equipment - .
would be a good investment for
this area, — .

Terrace has been known to
experience some hectic winter
condtions and some oldtimers
remember the late 40's when
snow reportedly fell to match
the height of power wires. .

If this winter proves likwise
there is the threat that Terrace

businesses might suffer.

“Another important factor. is
the adverse effect on business
activity with reported sales
losses of up to 35 per cent where
access to store plazas parking
areas and sidewalks is blocked
by snow,” the letter stated.
