Yes, no and maybe:

Council has endorsed a mixed bag of committee recommen-
dations on a number of requests for financial help from the
city, . :

Northwest Community College student Kirsten Murphy
will receive $100 towards the cost of her planned trip to Zim-
babwe under the Canadian Crossroads International cultural
exchange program. a oe ;

The finance committee noted the city had donated a similar
amount for fellow Crossroader Kim Saulnier’s 1990 trip to-
Ecuador. oo

Rejected, at least for the next 12 months, was a-request for
anew sound system at theice arena. That had come from the
local figure skating club which panned the present system as
‘an extreme embarrassment”. ee

Pointing out the estimated $18,000 cost had not been in-
cluded in the 1992 recreation budget and the system couid
probably not be installed in time for this year’s ice carnival,
the recreation committee recommended it be considered in the
1993 budget.

In the meantime, the city would look at renting better
equipment for events planned for this year.

And still waiting for final word is the Skeena Valley
Triathlon association. It had asked for $7,500 to purchase
electronic timing equipment .to be used at this year’s event —
also the provincial championship.

items up for consideration. A final decision is expected within
the next month.

An alderman’ s request the entrance to the local cemetary be
made more attractive is on hold pending a report. from the
recreation department.

facility had something ‘'more dignified’.

Recreation superintendent Steve Scott says several ideas are

count of parking, pedestrian access and security re-
quirements. So

His department was waiting for more information and
would be making a report as soon as that was available.

cent hike in cemetary fees.

Little sign on way

Variously known as the library park or Lower Little Park,
the official title for the green space in the heart of the
downtown core is the George Little Memorial Park.

And that fact will soon be clear to all users of the park.
Recreation director Steve Scott confirmed a memorial plaque
and park entrance sign are ready for installation as soon as
weather permits.

The park is named for city founder George Little who
donated the land for the park.
Juc-aceValsh rezone sought

‘A request to rezone property on Walsh Ave. to R3, multi-
family residential, comes before the planning and public
works committee meeting being held at noon today.

Located at the southwest corner of Walsh and Sparks, the
property is currently zoned R2. Owner Lawrence Stella wants
the change to allow construction of a four-plex rental unit.

Also up for consideration is a rezoning application from

TERRACE — Vandal Watch, a
project of the Terrace District
Chamber of Commerce to curb
damage to property, officially
begins today.

A special tips phone line —

635-5556 — is now in service,

Those who phone in with in-
formation about an act of van-
dalism are given an identifica-

tion number -to - protect- their

identity and are eligible, if they
wish, for a cash reward should
that information lead to a con-
viction.

The program is meant as
much as a means to solicit infor-
mation leading to convictions as
it is a deterrent to vandalism
taking place at all.

Award amounts begin at $200
and go to $500 depending upon
the size of the vandalism act.

They’ll be judged by a sub
committee of the main body
which worked to set up the pro-
gram,

"I personally am very excited
about the committee and what's

“happening,” said co-chairman

Doug Smith al a press con-
ference announcing the today’s
official start.

The idea grew owt of a
chamber of commerce resolu-
tion last December after revela-
tions about the high cost of van-
dalism. :

Inspector Lawrence Yeske
told the press conference that,
on average, there are two
reported acts of vandalism a
day in Terrace and immediate
area,

a

_ Anti-vandal
line ready

“That's far too much for a
community this size,” added
Yeske who has tagged the
monetary cost at $300,000.

The reward pool is being set
up with the help of a $1,000
grant from the ‘city. It’s
allocated a further $10,000, the
interest fram which will add to
the pool in future years.

Smith said businesses have
already donated approximately
$1,500 to the program. They
have the choice of putting the
money toward program
operaling expenses or being
placed in an interest-bearing ac-
count for the reward pool.

The phone line will be mann-
ed whenever possible and an
answering machine connected
when not.

Yeske said that since those
who give information are iden-
tified only by a number, the
onus is on them to keep check-
ing on the status of resulting
charges.

Convictions that result in
rewards will be publicized to
spread the knowledge of the
program and its effects, said
Smith,

Also sitting on the committee
are representatives of a parent
and teen group that formed last
year and which works with
street youth worker Greg Mc-
Quarrie.

He and group member Joe
Allenback said they become in-
volved to counter accusations
that only young people commit
vandalism.
