Garden contest starts soon

I THOUGHT I'D give everyone
a littl news update from the Ter-
race Beautification Society this
week,

We're well into another busy
season and I'm pleased to see the
renewed interest and an increas-
ing membership, ;

The Beautification Society is
presently developing both short
and Tong term projects as part of a
five year plan for the Terrace
area.

Our society started the year
planning the 10th annual Gar-
bathon. Thanks to everyone who
helped make it such a great suc-
CeES.

Also we are pleased with the
results of the judging for the
cleanest school year. Our judges
— Vesta Douglas, freeman of the
city, Roger Leclerc, school board
representative, and society mem-
ber Conrad Ganzenberg chose
Thoruhill Primary School as this
year’s ‘winner.

The two renner-ups were also
primary schools, What happened
to those energetic teenagers in the

higher grades?

’ Most recently the Beautification
Society planted the flower tubs
downtown these last few weeks,
Everyone will be able to enjoy a
colourful display of red
geraniums, marigolds, Dusty Mil-
ler and trailing Lobelias this sum-
mer.

In addition, Otto Grundmann
helped plant a beautiful Black
Walnut tree inside the Terrace
Areni garden, in the memory of
Rick and Paul King. Later this
fall we will:bave a special dedica-
tion, and the society will place a
plaque on the tree,

Speaking of plaques the society
also will replace all the broken
plaques on the flowering tubs
downlown. Thank you to Don
and Irene Ritchie of Hilti Tools
for their help in this matter.

As I said earlier, the society de-
velops long term plans as well.
One of our most exciting projects

is the development of a linear
park alongside Highway 16 West.

This proposed park would run
from the Sande overpass west to
Kenny and down to Frank Street,
between the highway and the
CNR tacks. A walking path
would rin along the entire length,
That area has already been im-
proved thanks to a litter pickup
by Northern Metworking and their
workers, Keep up the good work.

The Terrace clean up crew have
also taken on extra litter or gar-
bage pick up in some unsightly
empty lots, such ss the corner of
N. Kalum and Scott, the corner of
N, Kalum and Leen Ave., the
empty lot beside Gus’ pool hall,
behind the Al Marlin building
and behind the Skcena Hotel.

If any of the owners of these
lots would like to make a small
donation for these cleanups, send
it to the workers at Northern
Networking. Phone Michelle at
635-4479,

If others around town cleaned
up at least once a year, these
empty lots and other areas, they
would not only look better, they
would be safer for the children.

The Terrace Beautification
Society’s next project is the con-
test to choose the mast beautiful
garden in town. And this year the
Terrace Real Estate Board joins
us on this project, beaded by Al-
lison Johansen and Howard and
Judy Chafin.

will be judged — commercial, in-
dusirial, apartments or ‘multiple
dwellings, mobile homes and
residential.

The criteria is as follows:
