16 . Terrace Review —- Wednesday, October 30, 1991 ONE YEAR AGO THIS WEEK... Heavy autumn rains had brought back the “Heck Brook pond”, in spite of attempts by the - Jandowner to deal with the excess water by installing a culvert. The _ pond had been the subject of con- troversy since earlier in the year . when a young child drowned in the overflowing creek. City staff members and a representative from the Ministry of Environ- ment’s Water Management Branch met at the site and were to report to the next city council meeting on their findings. In ques- tion was the actual jurisdiction of the pond, which would lead to the question of all waterways within city limits. In spite of poor weather, the search went on for a TransProvin- [Looking back... cial Airlines flight that had disap- peared between Bronson Creek and Terrace the previous week. Weather conditions were hamper-- ing the crews based in Terrace, but conditions were better in Smithers, where two aircraft had taken up the search, The search master said the search would continue as long as there was any possibility the victims were still alive. Indifference again prevailed in local politics with only the six Terrace city council seats and the Area C director’s position for the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District were not filled by acclamation.

Interest in school board positions was vir- tually absent, with six of nine seats filled by acclamation, leav- ‘ing three seats unfilléd. It was believed the vacant positions would be appointed by the Minis- ter of Education. - Under new legislation, all posi- lions in the city council, regional district and school board would. be for three years and the next civic election would not take place until 1993. | TWO YEARS AGO THIS WEEK... . The arena’s refrigeration sys- tem improvement project went over budget, but it was expected savings from other recreation- related projects would help cover the costs. Both the re-roofing of a section on the east side of the arena and the resurfacing of the tennis courts came in well under anticipated costs, Another $8,000 was “saved” when a project to have movable playing field wash- rooms at Christy Park was scrapped. In“Fesponse tO. concerns expressed since the fatal crash of a Skylink Airlines flight, the Kiti- mat-Stikine Regional District voted to ban all prescribed burns within a 10-mile radius of the Ter- race-Kitimat airport. The regional district board decided that while the smoke in the area at the time of the crash did not cause the crash, rescue efforts could have been greatly hampered by the smoke if a rescue needed to be launched by air, instead of by ground, .

The problems had been occurring for some time but came to public attention earlier in the year when a young child was struck by a school bus, Two of the solutions recommended were extra crossing: guards and re-routing school bus traffic, Also suggested by the concerned parents, was a pedestrian-controlled traffic light or, at the very least, an amber light. at the Old Lakelse Lake Road-Clark Street intersection.
