New centre

for youth

Terrace youth don’t have to
meet in coffee shops or street
corners anymore...they have a
place to go.

Seth Essenfeld, a 23 year ald
native of Brooklyn, New York
has offered his place of business
as a meeting ground.

One of Terrace’s newest
businessmen, the ‘‘disillusioned
with the American way of life”
Essenfeld found there. was a
need for a meeting place for
lecal youth.

He has opened the doors of his’

record store, the Flatbush
Avenue Freighter -- named
after his homestreet in N.Y., as
a place where youth can meet,
talk, listen té records, dance

and practice their instruments’

if musically inclined.

Local youth are friendly,
energetic and honest but
withoul a common meeting
ground, he says.

The somewhat psychedelic
store, complete with recerds,
tapes, plastic blow-up chairs
and a waterbed for sale,
nrovides a casual atmosphere
for the. numerous people
already using the facility three
nights a week.

Open to youth Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday nights
Essenfeld, a Braduate
mechanical engineer, has
applied one rigid rule--‘'no
smoking because of the plastic
furniture and other flammables
in the store.”

Altough he has invited youth
to meet al his place of business
since he opened the record store
he has found them slightly
suspicious of his motives,

However, more and more
youths are using the store's
facilities.

The youngsters are
impressed hy Essenfeld’s
outlook of providing a free
service to them.

He says there is no
comparison between Terrace
youth and United States youth
as he knows them.

Here they are concerened w-
ith helping one another whereas
in the States most children have
materialistic motives bre .d into
them almost at birth.

Essenfeld plans to expand his
facilities to provide non-
alcoholic beverages to youth
such as a wide variety of
natural teas.

His decision to open a record
store came foliowing numerous
complaints by youth that a poor
quality of hit records were
available al Terrace.

Local businessmen, have
Essenfeld said, enthusiastically
supported his endeavors and
Terrace adults have entered his
store to buy albums and wish
him luck.

Before his facilities were
provided tothe youth, there was
no meeting cr entertainment
centre for them in Terrace a
number of youths have
complained.

The pool hall and beer parlor
were the only meeting outlets
open to them, they said.

The beer parlor was open only
to those of age or to those who
wanted to risk a confrontation
with the local RCMP.’

Essenfeld wants to open a
youth-oriented cabaret within a
year if financies allow, he said.
Again no alcoholic beverages
will be sold or permitted.

Inspired by the enthusiasim
of local youth he also plans to
hire the arena, when completed
and bring top rated Canadian
groups to perform in Terrace.

This brought — excited
comments from youths in the
store.

“That’s what we need in
Terrace. We've never had
anything like that before,” they
said."

However Essenfeld said these
are plans for the future and all
he wants now is to stay in
business, provide a place for
youth to meat and “‘eontinue to
enjoy the freedoms of Canada.”
