Ina presentation to city coun-
cil last Monday night, Terrace

‘and District Chamber of Com-

‘merce manager Bobbie ‘Phillips
‘asked the city to offer $2,500 in
financial support for Miss Ter-
race and .her two Princesses.

Phillips explained that the Ter-
race Jaycees, the pageant spon-
sor, had asked the Chamber to
manage the girls’ scheduling and
public appearances and offered
in turn to contribute to the travel
fund. She told council members,

City recreation —
‘user rates rise

TERRACE. — The costs of
operating recreational facilities
in the city have risen, effective
yesterday, and that increase has
now been passed on to the
public. Some rates were increas-
ed last fall but the Superinten-
dent of Parks and Recreation,
Steve Scott, told the city last Ju-
ly that they were still only realiz-
ing a 40 percent recovery on

their operational costs. He sug- |

gested that a figure of 48 percent
would be more appropriate.
City council’s Recreation
Committee agreed in part, but
cut Scott’s recommended
aquatic centre increases and sug-
gested that they be reviewed
again next year. One reason for
this, explained alderman Doug

. Smith, was that projects such as
the swimming pool expansion |

project has not yet taken place.
_ Under the new rate structure,
adult ice rentals at the arena
have gone up to $68.75 per hour,
a 10 percent increase, and youth

_ groups will now pay $23 per

hour, which is roughly an
average of previous rates which
were more expensive after -6
p.m. Overtime rates, after mid-
night, will be set at an additional
$25 per hour, 47 percent higher
than the old rate. Public skating
costs will increase by an average
of about 25 percent, while sum-
mer rentals would go up by
about 10 percent.

General admission to the pool
will be increased by an average
of about 10 percent, but this is
much less than Scott’s proposed
increase of about 25 percent.

Strip tickets will rise by an

average of about 15 percent,
while the increase in the cost of

pool passes will be slightly under |

20 percent. As with ice rentals,
youth clubs using the pool will
pay $18.50 per hour from 5 a.m.
to midnight which is an average

of morning, afternoon and eve- .

ing rates. Per lane rates for
youth groups and adult rates
have risen by about 15 percent..

Park future still dark

“TERRACE .— Debate over

future development in Christy
Park continues, but Mayor Jack

. Talstra says that any decisions

will have to wait for the recom-

_ mendations of the Terrace Ad-

visory Parks and Recreation
Commission who meet later this
rhonth. The commission’s
recommendations will be receiv-
ed by city council sometime in
mid-October.
Discussion on the subject was
initiated by a Recreation Com-
mittee report which noted local
residents’ opposition to both a

clubhouse and additional fields

in the park. The committee
recommended the issues be sent
to the advisory commission for
further study and a recommen-
dation. The report also recom-

. mended that Terrace Youth Soc-

cer president Don Highe be ask-
ed to submit an alternate plan to
field development which would
leave a wooded area and trails
beside Howe Creek.

The question of future
development in the park began
earlier this year when Highe re-
quested the city’s permission to
begin work next year on the se-
cond phase of the Youth Soccer
development and build the two
remaining fields in the original
plan. About the same time,
however, Dave Hull, represen-
ting the Terrace Northmen
Rugby team and two other adult
sports teams, proposed

however, that even though the
girls had some fund raising ideas
of their own they would still
need additional funds, and
because they were ‘‘ambass-~
adors of the city” council’s sup-

port would be appropriate.

-To date, she says, Miss Ter-
_ race has made appearances at
the Skeena Valley Triathion, the

”-Skeena Valley Fall Fait, andi in
Rossland. :

Following Phillips’ presenta-
tion, Miss Terrace, Laura Huhn,
told council that they aren’t
looking for handouts. ‘‘We’re
prepared to do a lot of work,”
she said. She explained that they
had already participated in a
Jaycees’ bingo and made banana
splits at Dairy Queen in order to
raise money; they also had plans
for a dinner and dance, car
washes and craft shows. She said
