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.

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

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.

TERRACE — The Ker-
modei bear from munici-
pal hall was part of an
escort team that
chaperoned the spouses
of those attending the
North Central Municipal
Convention around the
Terrace area,

by Sherry Halfyard

Representatives of
municipal councils from
all over the Central
North region were in
Terrace last week. 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,
