"VOLUNTEERS NEEDED for _

Making
all the
difference

It's the little things that make ~

such a difference.
That truism could very well be

_ the slogan of the Terrace Beauti-

fication Society.

Since its beginnings back in
1986, the socicty has been in-
volved wilh a host of projects ta
beautify the city.

“We're very small in number
but we get a lot of work done,’’
says society vice president
Yvonne Moen.

One needs only to look around
the streets and sidewalks to agree
with this statement, where the
society’s effects are obvious. Just
think ‘‘Iess is more’’; specifical-
ly, less garbage. A part-lime em-
ployee picks up litler year-round
from focal litter bins and around
town as part of the ‘‘Terrace
clean up’”: project.

In addition, a two-hour garba-

thon is held annually to keep the ©

surroundings pristine. About 40
people from Terrace and Thorm-
hill turned up this past April to
take part in the project.

Every year, the society gives a
plaque to the school that has the
cleanest grounds. This year,
Thomhill primary claimed this
distinction. ;

The society, whose membership
fluctuates but includes about

“eight really keen workers,” has.

also added dashes ‘of colour
throughout the local landscape.

The arena hill was landscaped in.

1989. Trees have been planted
down Lazelle Avenue: and: from
the Co-op corner to Sande Over-
pass, and there are also plans to
plant wild flowers and ‘a grass
background on the overpass.

’ But the most visible addition to
the local scenery has been the siz-

able Dower planters that decorate
the town’s walks. The first

planters. goipped up on city streets,

in 1990, 18 planters were set up

that year, and the number has.

grown ever since. This ‘year, 41
planters were added to the streets,
for a grand total'‘of 140, They will
go on sale once again in the fall.
In addition to making Terrace a
prettier place to be, the planters
have also provided employment.
With the help of Creative Op-
tions, a local service agency that
helps people with mental dis-
abilities find work, three jobs
have been provided, Peter Wesley
is employed year-round, working
full-time for the summer months
and part-time for the remainder.

Danny Bushman also works [ull-
time five months a year, and Dale
McKinnon holds a part-time job
for the same period. The crew has
different dutics, including watcr-
ing and ferlilizing the flower
planters, communily garbage
pick-up, mowing and walering
the blovlevard on Lakelse Ave-

nue and weeding throughout the

downtown core.
“T’s a tremendous .win-win

bargain,” says socicly treasurer
Conrad Ganzenberg. .

The organization receives fund-
ing: through the city’of Terrace.

‘This year, $13,000 was'slated for

the society.
In 1986, then-councillor George

Clark came up with the idea of

forming a group to clean up Ter-
race, He became the society’s
first president.

Since then, 2 new president has
been clected annually by society
members, Following the recent
May elections, the new president
is Linda Wagner, also the director
at Creative Options. She nates
that the public has been very ap-
preciative of the beautification ef-
forts. ae
“We get alot of good feed-
back,”’ she says.
