It takes serious planning to issue a city-wide proclamation against speeding, and alderman Darry!
Laurent and Cst. Ken Harkness had an advisor on hand — the RCMP Safety Bear. This week was
proclaimed anti-speeding week at the start of Riverboat Days, in conjunction with an open house

at city hall.

kick off Riverboat Days

Special events for Riverboat
Days started at 7:30 p.m. on
Thursday evening, Aug. 2. Peo-
ple gathered to admire the vin-
tage cars parked beside the City
hall. Near the fire hall, the full
array of fire trucks with Fire
Chief Best and his men were
staging a demonstration of the
use of fire extinguishers and
equipment for interested spec-

tators. Behind the parking lot
the large equipment pieces that
the City owns were drawn
proudly in a row for all to ad-
mire.

In front of the building a pro-
clamation was read.

His biggest concern, Thuriborn
said, is for the loggers that work
for the company. "They really

their prime season," he said. Pro-
duction lost now cannot be made
up later in the year.

When asked about the Westar
mill in Kitwanga, Thurlborn
replied that the last mecting
belween the company and Kit-
wanga. natives was about a month
ago. Westar told them they needed
a more specific proposal. Dis-
cussion involved a joint venture,
and Thurlborn said the company is
willing to talk further about it.

In a spontaneous action last

several hours. A spokesman said
the action was directed at the

of Terrace, proclaimed the week
of Aug. 25 - Sept. 7 as ‘‘Speed-
ing Awareness Campaign’’ week
in Terrace. The giant RCMP
Safety Bear assisted where ever
possible, meeting and greeting
spectators and delighted chil-
dren.

Inside the building, the SPCA
and the Animal Shelter had a
table featuring special pets — a
kitten, a rabbit and a large
friendly dog to gladden any
child’s heart (young or old).

On the landing and up the
stairs, through the Council
Chambers and the working
areas, even into the Mayor’s of-

fice, the public was allowed to

wander and admire the informa-
tion booths showing the work of
city departments. In one corner,
community facilitator Doug
Smith had his special projects on

view, with the plans for the new .

Community Centre catching
particular attention, flanked
with an eye-catching display of
sophisticated promotional
material for Terrace.

Early in the evening, the sun

came out from behind the clouds
and children and adults roamed
through their favorite displays.

| Restaurant makes slow

headway in getting

pub licence approved

by Tod Strachan

The Bavarian Inn is slowly jump-
ing the bureaucratic hurdles on
their bid for a neighbourhood pub.
Bavarian owner Gus Gerdei wants
to give up his combined 225-seat

dining lounge and cabaret liquor

licence on the ground floor of the
Bavarian Inn in favour of a 65-seat
neighbourhood pub licence.

This caused Terrace city council
last month to pass a resolution
stating that the city, not the
Bavarian Inn, would post a sign at
the Bavarian Inn and purchase

newspaper. advertising to make

public the Bavarian’s intent. De-
pending on the reaction to this
campaign, council will then have
to decide if further community
input is required which might

‘mean a public hearing.

City Planner Marvin Kamenz
was asked why the city should go
to such lengths in seeking public
approval for a licensing application
to the province,

In the past, a business like the
Bavarian Inn would have applied
to the Liquor Control and Licens-
ing Branch, commissioned an
independent public opinion poll,
and then, if everything fell into
place,. open their doors for busi-
ness. But then there was the
Knight Street Pub affair
Vancouver where the poll didn't

Because of this little scandal the
rules of the game were changed
last April. The government also
published a set of instructions:
"The Role o£ Local Government in ©
Liquor Licensing". Now it’s’ the
responsibility of municipal govern-
ment to make sure everything in a
neighbourhood pub application is
in order,

Victoria took care of the first two
rounds. To date, the Bavarian has
received preliminary site and appli-
cant approval. At this point the
government checks out the credi-
bility of the business and people
involved... and collects an applica-
tion fee. Also at this point, the
government assesses the commun-
ity need for the liquor outlet and
it’s proximity to existing liquor
outlets. A new outlet is supposed
to be outside a one-mile radius of
all existing outlets, but according
to Kamenz an exception to the
one-mile rule was made in this
case due to the size of our com-
munity and the proximity of the
three downtown hotels.

With this done, the applicant
must then approach the appropriate
municipal government and seek
their approval. This is called
Pre-Clearance Approval and it’s
where the city begins to assume
some of the responsibility. They
