Air Cadets getnew — headquarters TERRACE — The 747 Air Cadet Squadron will officially open their new quarters on Saturday, June 7 at 2 p.m., at the Terrace Airport. by Ray Tremblay Terrace Contributor The idea of having their own building after operating out of the basement of Clarence Michiel School for so many years, came about as a result of the District of Terrace wanting to dispose of the Quansit hut, formerly used as a public works building. The Sponsoring Com- mittee made an applica- tion to the District of Terrace for the old building and their re- quest was granted by Council. The idea at that time was to re-erect this building at the Airport as a hangar for their Super Cub and their Glider Aircrafts. Application was then made through the Canada Employment Centre for a labour grant through the VIP pro- gram in order to create’ some loca! employment and get this task ac- complished. This grant was obtained and the project got underway, An application was then made to the Ministry of Transport for lease of a parcel of land at the Terrace Air- port, which was granted but at this point pro- blems started. It was found that in order to re- erect this structure a con- siderable amount of engineering ‘changes had come about in regards to the safety of Quansit huts and the idea of us- ing the Quansit hut was scrapped, as the changes necessitated too much expense. The committee, at this point, ahead with the project and. use whatever materials they could salvage from the Quansit and erect a new building such as. you see today which includes offices and a_ classroom, darkroom and kitchen added to make this a complete facility enabl- ing the squadron to move from the school basement and gym- nasium. This will now allow Cadets to march with their boots on. It has taken two years to complete this facility since the idea was con- ceived by the squadron staff, who have since all left the squadron for various reasons. The sponsoring committee persevered through and saw the construction go on. Work on the building was done as mentioned earlier by workers-employed on the VIP program and later on by workers employed on a Canada Works Pro- gram. The squadron’s Com- manding Officer at the time, Derek Hales, was hired by the committee decided to go 16 Terrace Review — Wednesday, May 21, 1986 Be SHUM aEeaey - Pxesa we; «BATE Say PG ot ae ena, photo Ray Tremblay to supervise the workers. At the end of and throughout the project, the sponsoring commit- tee’s building construc- tion chairman, Tremblay, enlisted the assistance of many businesses. to donate materials and equipment time, in order to get the job finished at minimal costs, as funds were practically non existent when this project was started. Funding was obtained partially through the Provincial Lotteries, some funds. through the above employment pro- grams, and the re- mainder came from the weekly bingo at the Thornhill Community Hall and donations. It must be said that without the great support of all the contributors under the guidance of volunteer Ray Tremblay, this magnificent facility would never have come to be, as this was a tremendous undertaking without having the funds at the onset. This Is the Piper Super Cub owned and operated for training of 747 air cadets. Purchased many years ago, for the training of pilots, it Is also used as a tow plane for their glider air. =a To the editor, I would like to extend a special thank you on behalf of myself, the models and everyone at the recent Caledonia Secondary School fash- ion show to the follow- ing: Jeans North, Up Town Girl Fashions, All Seasons Sports and Ev’s Men’s Wear, who pro- vided the clothing.

A tour conducted by local resi- dent Jan -Staebell in- formed the group of visitors about Terrace’s past as well as showing off some of the finer features that the com- munity has today. Carol Marcellin, Hilda. Talstra and. Edna Cooper are spouses of Terrace council members who joined the tour. The first stop was the Thornhill Nursery, where Glen Goodwill, Quality Control Officer of the Nursery, led the group and explained the procedures of seeding and growing trees. Each person was given their own tree to take home and plant. Next on the agenda was a look at Northwest Community College, given by John Noonan, Coordinator of Adult Education. Bill Mid- dleton showed and ex- plained hatching and nurturing procedures for salmon. By this time everyone was feeling . somewhat famished. Alderman Mo Takhar donated his house and treated the group to a delightful In- dian lunch, Here a pro- motional video of Ter- race was shown enticing the visitors to return. After lunch the group was taken to Northern Lights Studio and owner Kaye Ehses led the group through the recently completed Japanese gardens behind the studio. Members of the tour were amazed at see- ing bamboo growing this far north. Many were complaining that the trees back home were still bare. A walk through Heri- tage Village completed the tour. Even the locals attending the tour en- joyed it and commented that they learned new things about Terrace. The purpose of the tour was to give everyone the opportunity to get to know each other, said Edna Cooper, The North Central Municipal Con- vention is held every year. Next year 100 Mile House will be the host. Muscles Fix Performance Natural athletic ability in part may be linked tothe kind of mus- cles you have. A University of California, Ir- vine study of 30 world-class swim- mers shows that there is a corre- lation between skeletal muscle fiber and athletic performance. A certain type of muscle composi- tion seems to favor perforalance in long-distance or endurance events. Another muscle type benefits short-distance events that demand quick bursts of power over alimited period. Swimmers tn events 400 meters and longer were shown to have a higher proportion of what are called slow-twitch muscle fibers. On the other hand, short-dis- lance swimmers in events of less than 200 meters were found to have a greater proportion of fast- twitch muscle fibers,
