‘City swimming i in data

TERRACE — Despite concern
a review of the city’s computer
system is proving to be a prolific
spawning. ground for such
bodies, council has agreed to set
up yet..another committee to
deal with the matter. oo

Originally dealt with by the
finance committee, the review
was passed on to the manage-
ment: committee which then
referred it toa financial infor-
mation sub-committee which in
turn has recommended forma-
tion of a new three-member
committee, ~

Alderman David Hull ob-
jected to that suggestions, say-
ing it appears the process is get-
ting “out of hand”.

He was also concerned a se-
cond sub-committee recommen-

dation that up to $8,000 be.

spent on a review of the: city’s
data base and input process was

a case of “throwing good
money after bad.”

Last year the city paid Sierra

Systems Consultants $5,000 to
analyze the city’s current infor-

needs might be.
Administrator Bob Hallsor
defended the recommendations

by pointing ‘to. the recent

discovery of an input error

thousands of dollars in- lost
water and. sewer tax revenue.

“It seems to me we should be

looking at all these things,”’ he

. said,

He alsé noted the proposed
review, which will examine the
city’s data’ base on a lot-by-lot
basis, was in line with a recom-

‘mendation contained in the
Sierra report. Explaining the

cost factor, Hallsor said it

Student recovering,
from shot to eye

TERRACE — A Caledonia
Senior Secondary School stu-
dent shot in the eye with a pellet
gun three months ago has
recovered most of his vision,
Caledonia principal Tom
Hamakawa said last week
17-year-old Grade 12 student
Danny McRobb has regained 60
per cent of his vision in the eye

and is returning to Vancouver

every five weeks for testing.
MecRobb was rushed to Van-

couver General Hospital Dec. 8

after he was hit by the pellet ina

lunch hour incident at the —

school. ‘Hamakawa_ said

McRobb's glasses stopped the.
but shards of glass

pellet,
entered his eye, -
Doctors at that time. were

doubtful McRobb would see

again out of that eye, but his
recovery has proven them
wrong,

“It’s a miracle of modern
medicine,” Hamakawa said.

“Of course only time will tell,

but it’s sure a lot better than we

’ thought.”’ '
