’ Certainly. | don’t think ©
we need Sunday shop-

they have the right to im-
pose it on the town. Also, |
feel it is hard on the small
merchants.

Alice Lofeudo
Yes. I'm for it. Look at
all the nurses and doctors

who have to work and the |

services that are open
anyway. People don’t
worry about using ail
‘these services on Sunday,

Back street closure suggested

~ If Terrace city council follows
the recommendation of Director
of Engineering Stew Christensen

expected to be put forward at

their July 10 meeting, Hughes
St. between Straume and Hamer

will be closed to motor vehicle
traffic permanently,

- The matter came.before coun-

dil on “June 26 when they.

adopted a Public Works Com-
mittee recommendation to close
Hughes St. providing ad-
ministration could determine
there was no objection from the
RCMP, Fire Department or
School District 88,

At the most recent meeting of

the Public Works Comuniittee,

Christensen told its ‘members

that there was no objection and
he had recommended that the
street be permanently closed. He
explained that the portion of
Hughes under consideration was
only 33 feet wide and there was
no chance it could be widened.
He added that under his recom-
mendation, Hughes would re-
main city property and be open

to pedestrians.

funding sent packing —

The board of School District

. 88 has received a reply-from the

Minister of Education.to a com-
plaint lodged concerning the ex-

-pense of sending district person-
mel to conferences and work-
shops in the lower mainland.

At the May meeting of the

' board, Chair Val Napoleon
~ noted that the cost of travel and

accommodation for districts
outside the lower mainland
places an extra financial burden
on those districts. The board
resolved to write a letter to the
minister outlining their con-
cerns.

In a letter received by the
board in June, Education Minis-
ter Tony Brummett replied that
the situation is addressed
through the fiscal framework —
the operating monies sent an-
nually to each district. A fund of
$10 million for ‘‘implementa-

tion of new programs”? worked ©

into the fiscal framework is in-
tended. to take care of the cost of

conferences, Brummett -
into account ‘‘distance and dis-
persion factors’? in each district,

‘ Brummett concluded’ by: say-

ing, “I regret that I am not ina.

position to offer further finan-
cial assistance to support attend-

ance at the very worthwhile con- .

ferences as you requested.’”
The board received the letter
for information.
