The regional district recom- mendation would allow the hot springs development to obtain possession of several hundred acres of crown land located im- mediately to the south of their present boundary, which would extend to the west as far as an escarpment bordering the wet lands area. The portion of the thrown from passing floats. wet lands immediately south of the lake would become a wildlife reserve under the jurisdiction of the wildlife branch of the Ministry of En- vironment, and the drainage area flowing into the reserve would be managed by the Ministry of Forests under an integrated management plan. Regional District director Les Watmough says there will be some people that are not happy . ; with the board’s recommenda- tion, but he says he believes it is the best possible compromise which addresses everyone's in- terest. He says it will allow the Ministry of Forests to continue logging in the southern portion of the area under question, Orleans will be able to build his golf course with some re-design work, and the area which is en- vironmentally sensitive will be protected, to witness the Riverboat Days Parade and none were disappointed — n anticipation then leapt into action when candy and goodies were Bids in for government center TERRACE — Amidst specula- tion on where a new one-stop provincial government building may be located, Alderman Bob Jackman has expressed fears last month that it could be outside of the downtown core. One choice he believes the government might have, is property the government already owns near the B.C. Hydro building on Keith Ave, By moving such ser- vices as the Government Agent or Social Services out of the downtown core, Jackman says, the government will be hurting the business community, and he has asked that both the federal and provincial governments meet with city council to discuss their plans. According to Peter Moyles of Taxi license refused TERRACE — Ada Solowoniuk of Chimo Delivery has appealed a decision by the Passenger Licensing and Safety division of the Ministry of Highways which refuses her the right to start a second taxi service in the Terrace area. Solowoniuk says when she asked licensing manager, R.B. Finlayson, for a reason for the refusal, he told her he was not obligated to give one. Finlayson was unavailable for comment at press time. Her application was supported by Terrace city council who said “‘Chimo Delivery has a proven reputation in our community, and we have every confidence in Mrs. Solowoniuk’s ability to provide a worthwhile and competitive service. Support was also offered by the Chamber of Commerce who said, ‘‘You have proven yourself to be a competent, reliable operator, and we would not hesitate to give you a recommendation for a job well done,” This is the second time that Solowoniuk has been refused a taxi license — the first time she was refused, one unnamed “‘objector’’ told the ministry that ‘‘Terrace is a transient community whose main payroll is welfare,’’ British Columbia Building Cor- poration (BCBC), the provincial government does want to move ““quite quickly” in Terrace but the choice of location will be a ministry decision and will be based on a number of factors — one being accessibility, Moyles says that several lease proposals have been submitted and are currently under the scrutiny of BCBC officials. If one of the proposals is found to be suitable they will begin negotiating a price. If not, he says the present proposals will be scrapped and BCBC will try again. BCBC is currently looking at proposals from: Manuel DaSilva Catering, 4554 Lazelle; Epp Talstra, 203-4650 Lazelle; Fran- cisco Trigo, 3302 Kalum; Fred Weber and R.C, Sandover-Sly, 3614 Eby; George Vogel, 4450 Little; Tom Wilson, for the Ter- race Recreation Centre, 4544 Greig; Michael Johnson, 3825 Westview; and East End Holdings and Kentron Con- struction who are listed with postal box numbers only. Trustee cites need for Terrace-based surgeon On behalf of the Terrace Health Care Society, trustee Olga Power: has written the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District board of directors to outline the Society’s position on establishing an orthopaedic ser- vice in the Northwest. The paper was received by the board of directors for information only. Power writes that while the ‘regional district is trying to determine their own position, the Northwest has been without an orthopaedic surgeon for several years and this has caused “‘considerable personal and financial hardship to the residents of the region’’. She points out that an or- thopaedic surgeon who visited the area last October expressed a desire to locate in Terrace and work out of Mills Memorial Hospital. However, after he was told by the regional district board that he would have to work out of Kitimat General Hospital he declined the offer and the opportunity was lost. **As a result of the decision of the board of directors of the regional district, the establish- ment of an orthopaedic service in our region has been delayed,’’ says Power. ‘‘It is the position of Mills Memorial Hospital that establishment of an orthopaedic practice will provide an impor- tant and needed medical service to the residents of the region.”’ She says that in concurrence with the findings of the medical specialists and the Regional Hospital District’s Advisory Committee, it is the position of MMH that the best quality pa- tient care to the residents of the region would be delivered through the establishment of an orthopaedic surgery practice in Terrace. “Decisions with respect to provision of medical services are too important to be made on other than the basis of optimum delivery of patient care,” says Power, ‘In this regard it should be noted that the Hospital Ad- visory Committee membership represents the hospitals in our region and its recommendations should be carefully considered in the future.’’ SS SS see eTen eae vt ng ee ee oe gs ee SUIS haiaeneanee inalienredicainait aitaiecaitiaetien se on e ag rtm som nae ren
