Better arena hours
requested

A public hearing to at-
tempt the determination of a
schedule for use of the
Arena and Swimming Pool
was held by the Terrace
Recreation Commission on
June 29. The Commission
listened to briefs submitted
by teams, clubs and con-
cerned patrons of the
facilities regarding times
and dates for usage of the
recreation buildings this fall
season. There was a large
number of requests put
forward to the Commission
as well as criticism,
suggestions and even a few
compliments.

A representative of the
Minor Hockey Association
stated that this year, as in
years past, the Club ex-

ected ta have one of the
argest registrations per
capita in the province. Last
year, with its large
registration and the limited
ice time afforded it the team
rosters averaged 19 players.
This resulted in boys being
on theice only seven to eight
minutes per game.

Another problem en-
countered during the £975-76
season was the effect that
limited ice time had on the
team’s ability to provide
return engagements for out-
of-tawn teams. ‘'The
Association was able to
invite only one team to
Terrace for every four that
were sent out. If our ability
to provide return
engagements does not
improve we will not receive
the out-of-town invitations.”

The Minor Hockey
Association requested a 10

rcent increase in ice time

ours on a weekly basis.
This increase would allow
them to lower the team
rosters to a realistic number
of players per team as well
as to provide return
engagements. In addition,
the association requested
time for the following: the
Coaches Clinics in Sep-
tember, the Referees
Clinics, the Skatathon on
November 7, the Pee Wee
Pup Tournament in
December and the
Provincial Playdowns late
in the season. The
association also asked for a
possible reallocation of the
early morning practice
hours.

The assaciation
representative finished by
pointing out the contribution
made to recreation in
Terrace by the Minor
Hockey Association and
stated that there were
“virtually no unresolvable
problems”,

The Terrace Figure
Skating Club made a
request for more hours to
the Commission as well as
some changes of the existing
time slots.

“Last year we had 18%
hours of ice time per week
but we gave up one hour of
this as it was from 12 noon ta
1 p.m. which was an un-
satisfactory time and we
were not able to utilize. it.
Approximately 14% hours of
the weekly time was used
for ice cleaning leaving us
with 16 hours for 260 skaters.
This time is most
inadequate and has been cut
down several hours from the

previous season. We really
could use 25 to 30 hours
weekly to good advhntage.
However, we are not able to
utilize the ice during school
hours except for one grou
of preschoolers. Even adult
skaters do not fit into this
time slot, as most of them
work.”

The skating represen-
tative explained how the
club works at a deficit and
how the Skating Carnival
that is held each year is
taken out of practice time.
Other annual events held by
the club that reguire ad-
ditional ice time are the
Inter-Club Competitions, the
Judges and Coaches Clinic
and the Test days. She
stated that there is a definite
need for another ice surface

in Terrace. .
The Terrace Minor
Lacrosse Association

presented a series of topics
stating that its hourly
requirements per week in
the arena would be 16 hours.
It asked for two six-hour
periods on week nights for
practises (preterably
Tuesday and Thursday) as
well as four hours prime
time (i.e. Friday night,
Saturday night and Sunday}
for game times.

The spokesman for
lacrosse stated, ‘‘Our
asscciation believes minor
sports should receive
priority for arena time, ance
a schedule has been sub-
mitted. Due to other func-
tions in the arena, our
association found it very
difficult to realize our
schedule. Of the time
marked on our calendar, 35
percent was cancelled. At,
the most, lacrosse only goes
for a 16é-week period and
witha third of that cancelled
it does not make inter-city
league play very successful.
We would like to explore the
possibility of opening up the
school gymnasiums for
some of the minor sports
when the arena is not
available.”

A Commercial Hockey
representative asked for
better time slats — Monday
and Wednesday from 3 to 12
each night plus one
Saturday night a month for
games. He also asked for
one hour Thursday nights
for all star team practices.

The Commercial Hockey
League lost $1500 last year
in what the spokesman
termed ‘‘a financial
disaster”’.

Last season’s § mem-
bership fee of $35 will
probably be raised to as
much as $60 this year and
the number of teams is
being dropped from six to
four.

Jn terms of priority to the
clubs, perhaps the best
statement was made by the
figure skating represen-
tative. “Naturally every
group using the arena would
like to have their club or
group designated as
“priority” .... we are fully
award that to
define priorities is very
difficult. We feel that the
dedication plaque says it
very well: ‘Dedicated to:
the very young, the young
and the not so young’.”

Forest fire report

Prince Rupert Forest
District forest fire report for
the week ending July 9, 1976,

Once again the un-
seasonably cool, moist
weather has kept the forest
fire hazard in the low range
during the week over most
of the district. Na new fires
have been reported during
the week and the total to
date this year remains at 28.
At this same time last year
150 fires had occurred in the
district.

The Prince Rupert
District contingent of two A-
26 «air tankers and the

aerostar bird dog plane are’

currently in Prince George.
It is planned to move them
to the newly completed air
tanker loading hase at the
Burns Lake air strip.

At this time we would like
to remind everyone that in
British Columbia any
persons who throws or dreps

any burning match, ashes of |

a pipe, lighted cigarette or
cigar, or any other burning
substance, or causes a fire
by any means in or on any
forest or woodland is
required by law to com-
pletely extinguish the fire
before leaving the spot.

...with the Centennials

The 1976-77 season is little
more than a month away as
the Cents selection and
training camp is scheduled
for an August 19 start. The
camp will run for one week.
At the end of the week,
Coach Phillips will know
how many players he will be
selecting at Pincher Creek,
site of this year’s Calgary
Centennial Camp.

This year due to increased
financial pressive, each
player trying aut for the
Centennials will be required
to pay a $30 entrance fee. In
this way the Club hopes to

_keep the number of players

at a manageable level as
well as ensuring that only
those players who are
sincere in their hopes to
become a Club member will
try out. Those players
selected to the team will
receive their $30 back
following the first league

Rain fails to dampen races

Hi Racing Fans

Despite the rain the
racing did go on. The fans
seemed to think the racing

as much fun. We were
missing some cars due to
blown motors etc., but we
still had a good turn out and
some fine racing. The times
were greater and the ac-
cidents fewer but there were
