Ald Terrace Review — Wednesday, May 29, 1991 Wednesday, June 5, is a very Ruling on AIR CADETS INVITE ALL by Tod Strachan special day for a select few in town and they want to share it with everyone. At 6:45 p.m. on portables will hurt schools School District 88 may soon be in desperate need of a Special Services office. Special Services recently found space in a portable office at the rear of the Kenney St. school board property. The school district obtained a temporary six- month permit from the city before. the move, but that permit expired in April and now the city says they won't renew it. About a month ago school dis- trict treasurer Barry Piersdorff filed an application with the city for either an extension to the tempor- ary permit, or betier still, a perma- nent permit allowing the office space to remain where it is for years to come. The structure is well built, he told city council in a letter, it conforms with the build- ing code and there is no reason why permanent status should not be approved. Council disagreed with Piers- dorff’s assessment of the building Monday night, however, when they adopted a Public Works Commit- tee recommendation thai the request for a temporary permit or the permanent placement of the portable office be denied.-Exactly. what might happén next is unclear. But as of Monday night, it is very clear that School District 88 is the Terrace Bowling Lanes 4807 Lazelle Avanue GET ON A FUN ROLL...

Enter now — proud owner of some nicely painted office space, complete with wheelchair ramp, that is illegal and non-conforming in the eyes of the city and has to go. School board chairman Edna Cooper is disap- pointed with the city’s decision. "It’s a very unobtrusive building," she says. "Most people probably don’t even know it’s there. ; "This is going to leave the school board with a lot of problems." Cooper explains that Terrace has become a northwest focal point for special needs services, and until the portable was located at its present site a growing number specialists were spread around town in any available nook and cranny the district could find. The portable offered "private" office space and centralization, thus better coordination of services to special needs children. "Nobody is really in favour of portables," says Cooper. "But all municipalitiés are having to deal with them ‘because there is nowhere else to put the people." And that, she says, is the fault of a provincial government that won’t come up with the funding to needed to provide more appropri- ate accommodations for schools. 635-5911 that day, the 747 Air Cadet Squad- ron begins their annual inspection in front of the Air Cadet hall at the Terrace-Kitimat Airport. Visiting dignitaries will include inspecting officer Major Moll of CFB Chilli- wack and Mr. McLeod of Sydney B.C., who represents the Air Cadet League. | Air Cadet Squadron 747 has been serving the community for nearly 30 years. The movement to form the squadron here was led by Kevin Van Herd and his step-son Bruce Douglas, and their dream became reality on Nov. 11, 1963, when 75 local teenagers and an eight-parent sponsoring group got together at the Civic Centre. Included in that first sponsoring group were Terrace pioneers Gor- don Little and Harry Smith. Within two years, the squadron had a permanent sponsor in the Terrace Lions Club and, having grown too large in numbers for the Civic Centre, moved their quarters to Veritas Hall. They lost every- thing when Veritas Hall was destroyed by fire in August of 1967 but accepted the disaster as nothing more than one more chal- lenge. They found new quarters at Skeena School and two years later came under the wing of a new sponsor, Branch 13 of the Royal SPECIAL CHILDREN’S SHOW appearing at:.

Command of the Squadron has changed a number of times over the years, the longest running Commanding Officer being Derek Hales, who led the squadron for 12 years. Under Hales’s leadership 747 Squadron moved to Clarence Michiel Elementary in 1972, pur- chased a share in a glider in 1976, and with the help of the Royal Canadian Legion purchased a Piper Super Cub in 1978, In 1984, the sponsoring committee bought the squadron’s own glider, a $12,500 L-233 Schweitzer, a squadron shelter was built at Woodcock airport, and later in the year the construction of the Air Cadet Hall began. . Hales retired in 1985, and since that time command has passed from Charlie Meek, Ron Knoedler and Ron Gowe. Under their leader- ship the ‘squadron continued to grow, In 1986 they purchased a 66-passenger bus with the help of the Branch 13 Ladies Auxiliary. The bus was replaced in 1990 with a newer vehicle which offers far greater comfort. But history aside, what does 747 Squadron offer Terrace teens? Spit ’n polish, shining brass and ironing clothes... and far more. Teens learn leadership skills, take part in sur- - vival training, learn first aid and learn how to handle a rifle. There’s lifeguard training, scuba diving lessons, summer camps, aeronautical studies, air traffic AAAS oo she City ments thereto, THE SUBJECT AREA: described as: THE INTENT: GRIFFITHS ST CITY OF TERRACE PUBLIC NOTICE REZONING APPLICATION TAKE NOTICE THAT an application has been made to amend the City of Terrace Zoning By-Law No. 401-1966, and amend- The application affects the area, within the City of Terrace Lot A, Explanitory Plan 4677, Street) and shown shaded on the accompanying map. © The Intent of this zoning amendment application is to change the zoning of. the subject area from Light Industrial (M1) to Highway Tourist Commercial (C4).
