Page A8 — Terrace Standard, Wednesday, January 24,1990 ” Mike Corbeil No snow does cost TERRACE — The city may be experiencing one of its mildest winters in years, but the director of engineering says the city has still gone over budget on its winter maintenance program, There are a number of fac- tors involved in the 1989 ex- penditure of $225,000 com- pared to the $220,QXX) spent in 1988, says Stew Christensen. He said the city spent $71,000 — nearly a third of its total budget — dealing with the heavy snowfalls of last January. While there wasn’t much snow this past November and December, Christensen said a crew was kept on night shift in case the snow did come. Job here disappear's ~ eye, Candidate's future up TERRACE — One of the NDP . candidates for the Skeena riding nomination .could be going to Victoria regardless of his elec- toral future, - ; Mike Corbeil, manager of th Skeena health unit, was told earlier this month his job was being eliminated and he was be- ing transferred to the health ministry in Victoria. The manager's. respon- sibilities are instead being blended in with those of the units medical health officer. Corbeil said he will stay with the health unit until at least the NDP’s nomination date the end of March, : If Corbeil is successful in win- ning the nomination, he'll be: working out of Terrace for the health ministry until the election is called. . “Tl cross that bridge when I come to it,’” said Corbeil when asked if he will move to Victoria should his nomination bid be unsuccessful. “My job will no longer be in Terrace. There are other aspects to consider — family and such,” he said. , Corbeil added he was told of the transfer. after he - had declared his candidacy Jan. 4. — in air: - The combination of medical health officer and manager is & not unique in. the. province's health units, ‘They exist in all but -the. four northern health units because there had been difficulty in attracting and keeping doctors. op Corbeil said that was no longer the case in the Skeena health unit as medical health of- | ficer Dr, David.

Pool project delayed TERRACE — The ‘completion date for the pool expansion pro- ject has again been set back — the second time the date had been revised — and is now not expected to occur before early March, ; City recreation director Steve Scott said the delay was caused by ‘fa whole series of things.”’ Among them was the need to wait for an engineer from the Vancouver-based company that had designed the plumbing system for the new wading and whirl pools to come up and in- spect the installation. Scott explained backfilling the area around the pools and construction of the decks could not begin until he had approved the system, Although the concrete work for the pools had also been completed, finishing work could not proceed until the drain channels had arrived — Steve Scott - they were expected to be on site by the beginning of next month. A shortshipment and incorrect rolling of roofing materials had also. delayed that part of the project. ; Scott said all the rough carpentry had now been com- pleted and 95 per cent of plumb- ing, electrical and mechanical work was also done. Remaining jobs included dry walling and putting in floors in all rooms, insulating the outside walls, back filling and concreting for the pool decks and the new mechanical room and tiling the pools, While finishing of the ex- terior of the south wail would have to wait for dry, above- freezing weather, he said the new part of the facility could open without that job having been completed, Although some extra costs. had been incurred as a result of a few design changes, Scott said these were covered by a con- tingency fund in the original cost estimates and the project was still on budget. Confirming final cost figures would be available approximately six weeks after completion, he add- ed, “I’m not expecting any sur- prises.”” : ; a ‘ M ake a Fashion Statement With — -.s~ Your Windows! + ~ Available in aver 160 colors!
