Locke-Winsor will also be ad- dressing the board. during her visit to Terrace, #7.

The ‘subject. ‘of-her® ‘seminar will: be ‘Humanizing the Health

Care Environment: I Make a Difference’. Locke-Winsor says of her philosophy, “Humanistic health care involves a recogni- tion of the client as a unique per- son of infinite value, inherently worthy. of our- attention. and

care. We believe, as well, that |

the other persons-in the health ‘systems — _ staff, volunteérs, family/friend sup- ‘port networks — are important and valuable and have needs that must be recognized and ad- dressed if humanizing care is to take place.’’

Terraceview is limiting the seminar to health professionals within the community. As of yesterday 59 of the 75 available registrations were taken. For more information, call the lodge at 635-0223. ~

“Major renovations, planning underway

the facility’s administrator says “>the entire lodge is going to be

“recent interview that construc-

It will be the first major reno- vation since the lodge was built, and Delgatty says ‘‘everyone was involved’? — staff and resi- dents — in deciding on what it will look like.

A tour of the new wing re-

' vealed rooms for residents, each

of which will have a unique color’ scheme and decoration, lounges and an éxamining room for visiting doctors, and staff areas with low, unobstructed counters that are easily accessi- ble for residents in wheelchairs. “We didn’t want them to look like nursing stations,’’ Delgatty remarked. ;

Site development is also on her mind, with landscaping’ in the works and an on-site hous- ing complex. Looking ahead, Delgatty observed, ‘‘This facili- ty is designed to meet needs beyond its time.”’

; Terrace Review _ Wednesday, July 1 9, 1989. 3

Yos, they float and they're ready to go — and If everyone shows half the enthusiasm these kids did during a trial run of the Rotary riverboats at the swimming pool, you had better buy your tickets while there are still some left. On Aug. 7 a boat will be numbered to correspond

with your ticket number and dropped from a helicopter in the Copper River. If yours is among the first to cross the finish line, you could win a gas barbecue, a weekend trip for two to Vancouver, or a cash prize of $2, 000.

Concrete companies mix it up

Two individual business sales have cut the competion in Northwest ready-mix concrete Sales. According to one source, Fred Eichhorst of Terrace has purchased the batch plant and buildings in the 4400 block

Hwy. 16 east belonging to Glac- -

ler Concrete, and Glacier Con- crete in Kitimat has purchased the: batch-plant of Kitimat Val- ley Concrete in Kitimat.

Glacier .Concrete president Norm, MacRitchie says the two sales are simply good business. He explains that there isn’t enough business in either Ter- race or Kitimat for two ready-

_mix suppliers, and by selling out

in Terrace and purchasing the competition in Kitimat he will put Glacier in more stable finan- cial position. He points out that Prince Rupert and Smithers only have one ready-mix dealer each and there are only two in Prince George to serve an area with a population of 120,000.

MacRitchie explains that the mixer trucks at Glacier’s Terrace operation were aging and he had two options — to buy new trucks, at a cost of $160,000 each, or sell the Terrace opera- tion. And buying new trucks wasn’t, in his opinion, a wise choice. He explains that three trucks are required to provide a reasonable level of customer ser- vice but 90 percent of the time only one is in use.

As far as any concern about

rising prices due to a lack of competition in Kitimat, MacRit- chie says it won’t happen. He says Glacier has no plans to in- crease prices in the foreseeable future — unless there is an in- crease in the cost of raw materials. F*

It was thought by some Ter- race contractors that Eichhorst’s purchase of the Glacier Con- crete batch plant would ‘leave Terrace with a ready-mix mo- nopoly as well — but Eichhorst says no. ‘‘Glacier Concrete has been bought by a Vancouver company,” Eichhorst said when contacted by the TYerrace Re- view. separate concrete businesses in town,”’

Eichhorst was referring to FGH Concrete Ltd, East End

“There are still three.

Concrete and the new Van- couver-based firm who “had ‘taken over the Glacier batch plant. But whether or not these three “‘separate’’ companies are actually in competition is an in- teresting question.

‘To begin with, a letter written MacRitchie on July 7 and ad- dressed to Dear Customer states

in part: ‘The plant and build- _ings occupied by Glacier in Ter- race have been sold to Mr. Fred Eichhorst. He will carry on a ‘building materials and ready mix business on the site under the name of G.E.. Building Sup- plies. Mr. Eichhorst plans: to increase his equipment fleet to better serve the Terrace custom- ers." This gives a name and
