TERRACE —Local election ac-
tivity is gearing up, with Dave
Hull declaring his intention to
run for city council and some in-
cumbents starting to make their
decisions whether or not to run
again. The Coopers have both
decided to throw their hats in for
the November 19 election, Edna
for school board and Bob for ci-
ty council. Both ‘school trustee
Laverne Hislop and city coun-
cillor Bob Jackman told the Ter-
race Review.they’re still ponder-
ing the question.

Trustee Francis Sabine said
Tuesday he just made up his
mind: he’s going to run again.
“1 feel that my being on the
school board has made a dif-
ference, and. there’s still some

“unfinished business I’d like to

see through,” he said. He cited
the first: contract between the
school board and the Terrace
District Teachers Association as
of vital interest to the communi-

ty. “It's important to have a
_. person there who can see both

sides and I think that’s been my

role, I'd like to continue in that.
"I would feel like I was running

out if I left now.” .

Sabine said that while a lot of
his goals were accomplished
over the last term, with the
assistance of a ‘‘very helpful ad-
ministration”, there were a few
disappointments. “‘I guess my
greatest disappointment was not
getting French immersion into
the senior secondary level. I
don’t suppose very many people
here will agree with me, and I
might even lose some votes
because of it. But I believe the
only ‘appropriate program’ for
French immersion students, is
French immersion.”

The candidates have until Oc-

‘ty, and he says he’s been told

According to Bishop, the new —

mill is only operating at about 40
percent of its maximum capaci-

that the shutdown will last ‘‘in-
definitely’’.. But he says many.
small contiactors will. be in’
serious trouble if the shutdown
lasts more than a couple of mon-
ths, and they need to know how
soon they can get back to work.

Bishop says that even though

small amount of ‘‘snecialty - eee

areas, that’s not doing local con-

that the contractors involved,

ing Prince George contractors.
He explains that Prince George
contractors can haul into Ter-
race if théy first obtain a permit
from the Motor Carrier Branch,
but he had been told by the

HARD COAL,

. Realtors give boost |
to Fire Safety House

The Terrace firefighters’ project to build a Fire Safety
House got its first major donation last week when Gordie
Olson, president of the North West Real Estate Board,

presented firefighter Ray Tremblay with a cheque for $500 on
behalf of realtors in Terrace, Kitimat and Prince Rupert.
The Fire Safety House, when completed, will be a self-
contained unit on wheels designed to teach children how to
get out of a burning building safely. With smoke, light and
sound, the house creates a realistic impression of a house fire.
Tremblay says the concept has a proven record of saving
lives, citing a recent incident in Nanaimo in which an eight
year old girl saved both herself and her sister by using, skills
she had learned in that community’s Fire Safety House. He
also points out that a recent tragedy in Prince Rupert — a fire
that resulted in six deaths -— could have been avoided if the
people involved had been educated ‘in escape techniques.
Community support for the Fire Safety House in Terrace is
growing, Tremblay said. In addition to the donation from the
Real Estate Board, Convoy Supply has agreed to supply roof-

ing, siding and insulation for the project, E.B. Horsman will

provide part of the wiring, and the trades program at North-
west Community College has volunteered to build it. —
Tremblay says operation of the house will require a large
commitment of volunteer time from Terrace firefighters: each
of the seven will put in 15 days.a year taking the program to
schools in Terrace and Thornhill. ‘‘It’s ail worth it if it saves
one life,’ he said, ,
Individuals wishing to contribute to the project can make
donations to the Fire Safety House account at the Terrace
branch of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

working hard to cover their -
appointed areas, some hav- -
