Joint promotion may result from tourism seminar TERRACE — A two- day course, ‘Tourism Planning for Communi- ties’’, held recently in Terrace could eventually affect the competitive at- mosphere between Ter- race and Kitimat in a positive way. The course was offered by the UBC Centre for Continuing Education, and it drew 22 participants from throughout northern B.C. Municipal planner Rob Greno attended the course, and he assessed it as being a beneficial ex- perience. ‘“There were a number of things cov- ered,” he said,‘‘but the main thing that emerged was a consensus that a regional network is need- ed for the northwest, that it would make sense to market this area as a regional product.’’ Greno said that one con- crete proposal was the idea to create a joint brochure featuring tourist attractions in both the Kitimat and Skeena River valleys. He concluded that the most economically effective approach for Terrace and Kitimat will be cooperation rather than competition. The seminar was con- ducted by Linda Swaine of Thorne, Stevenson and Kellogg Manage- ment Consultants and Jay Wollenberg from Coriolis Consulting. Following the final ses- sion of the course, Wollenberg explained that the thrust of the presentation is how to get maximum effective- ness out of the time, money and energy in- Support appreciated The Terrace District Teacher-Librarian’s Association would like to thank the following organizations for their financial support given to the recent young writers’ conference held in the community.

The course emphasizes spending money wisely to attract visitors and get them to return. I’m really im- pressed with the sort of gusto I've encountered here in the north.”’ Wollenberg will be returning to Terrace May 15 to participate in a panel discussion during the North Central Municipal Association convention. t Local airline connects Terrace with Queen Charlottes TERRACE — Direct airline service between Terrace and Sandspit has become available to travellers through the Terrace-Kitimat airport as Terrace Air recently began its new scheduled flight operations to the Queen Charlotte Island destination. The locally- owned air service will fly a return schedule year- round every day of the week except Tuesday. The inaugural flight of the new service on April 24 was cancelled due to 110-kph surface winds at the Sandspit airport, but Terrace Air operations manager Les Hanberg was unperturbed. ‘‘In these situations it’s bet- ter to cancel,’” he said. One-way flights to Sandspit were available through Pacific Western Airlines during the sum- mer of 1985, but the airline scrapped the schedule late last year due to low passenger de- mand. Hanberg, however, seems confi- dent of success in his company’s venture with return service and smaller aircraft. ‘‘Even if we only get half the traffic that PWA’s figures indicate,’’ he said, ‘‘it will still be worth our. while.’’ Although jet service from Terrace to Sandspit is available, the routing involves changing planes in Vancouver.

Terrace,” he said. The staff at Terrace Air consists of four full time pilots, two seasonal pilots, a dispatcher, an engineer and two mechanics. Chief pilot Max Neubacher has 20 years of flying ex- perience in Terrace, and dispatcher Diane Elkins also has several years of aviation background in the area. Hanberg emphasizes that charter service is still the basis of Terrace Air’s business, and he stated unequivocally that the charter aspect of the company’s operation will be unaffected by the new scheduled service. He said that they are in the process of obtaining an eight-passenger Piper Chieftain to insure that enough aircraft are available to meet demands. He added that plans are presently being laid to build a hangar in the fall and winter of this year. When asked if Terrace Air intends to start scheduled service to other destinations, Hanberg replied that fur- ther expansion will de- pend on the success of the Sandspit operations and public demand for other services. 1985 FORD TOPAZ Automatic transmission Air conditioning * only9,000KM 1 YEAR FULL WARRANTY 1979 CHRYSLER LeBARON 2-door Hardtop Automatic Transmission Cassette player and Radio Bucket Seats 1983 SUBARU 2-DR COUPE 5 Speed x» AM/FM Radio Cassette Piayer ONLY 31,000 KM 1971 23 FT MOTOR HOME 1984 VALLEY CAMPER to fit an import pickup 1982 HAWKE CAMPER 1979 VALLEY CAMPER 1979 KIT CAMPER THORNHILL Grae 3040 Hwy. 16 East — Terrace Phone: B35: 7288 or 635-7286 D.L. no, 7041 RTM at ep ts = ea een sete peepee penne Ton eg af
