Council Shorts - City picks GM vehicles ALL OF THE smaller city vehicles will eventually be replaced with GM trucks and cars, That’s the plan that councillors approved last week, on recommendations of city staff, ‘Public works committee chairman Gordon Hull said it makes sense because about 24 out of the 35 small vehicles the city owns are GM models already, - As the existing city fleet gets older, retired vehicles will be replaced with GM vehicles, he said, Until now car purchases were put out to tender, and -|-GM’s-fleet -price- had generally come in lower’ than competitors’, Hull said, Heritage sites declared CITY COUNCIL is designating Heritage Park and the old Kitsumgallum cemetery as heritage sites. , ~The designation was recommended by the Terrace Regional Museum Society. Council is expected to pass the bylaw making it offi- cial next week, Cul-de-sacs approved AFTER MUCH debate, city council has decided 10 al- low a set of three cul-de-sacs in the area of Highland Drive, Planner David Trawin had wanted to see Highland Drive run in a wavy crescent from Terrace St. to Twedle Ave, Engineering director Stew Christensen said he preferred a thru-street rather than cul-de-sacs to save money and time during winter snow removal. But councillors backed some area property owners who wanted cul-de-sacs. Planning committee chairman Ed Graydon noted the plan would keep options open. The city is selling off a chunk of property it owns in the area, at the east end of what was to be Highland Dr. It’s expected the buyer will subdivide that property and sell off view lots there, Island fish idea boosted COUNCIL is supporting one man’s idea to turn a lagoon on Ferry Island into a fish-rearing area. Councillors endorsed Chris Spangl’s idea of deepen- ing an old gravel pit at the south end of Ferry Island and tuming it into artificial fish habitat. The project would have to meet the approval of fisheries and environment ministry officials. The site would be an added attraction on Ferry Is- land, councillors said. Spangl says it might be a year or two, however, be- fore there’s money available in the Watershed Restora- tion Project fund for the site. Hatchlings from Deep Creek hatchery could be released in the rearing area. Right now Deep Creck’s * production is limited by the size of its rearing area.

The unmanned border has become a sensitive issue be- tween Canada Customs and Stewart residents since the lat- ter agency installed a 1-800 phone line at the Stewart RCMP detachment, - , Residents are required to phone Canada Customs offices and report even when they cross back and forth without making purchases, Stewart RCMP and Canada Customs for years have been worried about the amount of unreported — and cheaper — cigarettes and tobacco being smuggled across from Hyder into Stewart. “The officers found the experience very interesting and the people treated them well and were friendly,"’ said McGrath of the rodeo weekend border post. He said the experiment went so well that Canada Customs is planning on repeating the crossing checks dur- ing the July t-4 combined Canada Day and July the 4th events in Stewart and Hyder. McGrath added that the manned post meant people did not have to line up to use the 1-800 line at the Stewart RCMP detachment. In the meantime, Canada Customs is still working on a plan to further increase its presence at the border. Under consideration is everything from a permanent manned post to a system whereby residents can obtain permits to cross without then having to report in, Open longer? SHOULD the library open up on Mondays or holidays? Some city councillors want to revisit the question, and they want to meet with library board officials. Councillor David Hult says it doesn’t make sense to him to have the library closed on statutory holidays, “l really think we should Jook at, if nothing else, Monday openings for the next budget year,’” he said, It’s estimated the cost of opening the library on Mon- days year round would be as little as $8,000 to as much as $35,000 depending on whether the library was open four hours (as with Sundays) or a full 11 hours (as with weekdays). shite The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, June 19, 1996 - A7 JUNE 1996 JUNE 1996 LUCKY DOLLAR BINGO PALACE ' . : t . ood ' . . . _ SUNDAY MONDAY - TUESDAY“ WEDNESDAY’ THURSDAY — FRIDAY. “SATURDAY - Minor Softball Kinsmen Tet.
