~~ 22 = Terrace Review —— Wednesday, October 23, 1991 | Looking back... Compiled by Diana English ONE YEAR AGO THIS ..-The Ministry of Forests approved West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. and Enso Forest Prod- - ucts Ltd.’s plans to purchase the Tay-M Forest Products forest licence, The sale was condition- al on West Fraser and Enso des- ‘ignating a part of the purchase price to alleviate Tay-M’s out- standing debts. The Kitimat-Stikine Regional District was pondering whether, and how, to restructure local government in Thornhill. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs had offered up to $40,000 for a study that would examine the local government options for Thornhill, Amalgamation of Thornhill with Terrace was con- sidered, a move that would cre- ate the largest city in the north -west. Also contemplated was incorporation of the town of Thornhill. A‘TransProvincial Airlines twin-engine Piper Navajo went “missing with the pilot and three passengers on board. The air- craft was enroute to Terrace from Bronson Creek when it dis- appeared. A full-scale search including military aircraft was under way but an electronic sur- vey was unable to detect any signals from their emergency locator transmitter. Terrace city council turned down a request from the Skeena Senior Citizens Housing Society to install a traffic light at the intersection of Lakelse Avenue and Apsley Street. The city said that the volume of traffic did not warrant a traffic light but they would review the situation when the need arose. They did not specify how they would recog- nize the need when it arose. TWO YEARS AGO THIS WEEK... .1t was the end of an era when the wood waste burner at the Skeena Cellulose sawmill was brought down, after not being in use for some time. Skeena Cel- © . lulose had installed a smokeless hog fuel machines a number of months prior to the burner being laid to rest, making it only a memory in Terrace’s history. - A bylaw to restrict Sunday shopping hours was voted down by Terrace city council, More than 50 people crammed council chambers, with even more lined up to the stairway inside city hall, to have their views heard on the contentious issue, Over an hour and a half was spent lis- tening to business owners, man- agers, employees and other resi- dents speaking for and against the bylaw. Some of the reasons given by council members for their decision to strike down the bylaw were that local businesses should be allowed to chose their own operating hours, that Sun- day shopping had been proven to be a success and that if Ter- race didn’t open up on Sunday, Kitimat would. Also mentioned was that people would have the freedom of choice of whether or not they wanted to shop on Sun- day. The owner of Skylink Airlines was vowing to appeal a Ministry _ of Transport decision to cancel his operating certificate after an — audit into the fatal crash of a Skylink flight near the Terrace airport four weeks previously. The ministry cited problems with maintenance and other records, unqualified pilots and falsifying safety documents as among their reasons for their © decision. Skylink owner Rafael Zur claimed the problems were minute clerical errors to do with flight log entries and illegible handwriting. In spite of being finished, the results of the audit -were not being released until the Ministry of Transport heard © from the RCMP or the Justice Department. : THREE YEARS AGO THIS | -.Community relations and . crime prevention officer for the . Terrace detachment of the RCMP, Ewen Harvie, was cho- sen as a recipient of the B:C. Solicitor General’s Crime Pre- vention Award. Harvie was cho- , sen for his outstanding work in crime prevention, including his~ uniquely successful shoplifting prevention program, as. well as — putting in efforts above and i beyond the scope of a crime pre- . vention officer. The British Columbia Build- ings Corporation was getting closer to deciding on a site fora one-stop shopping centre for government services, Prospects were narrowed down to just one proposal, and the BCBC Corpo- Tate Affairs Manager was hop- ing to have arrangements com- pleted within a few weeks. It. was expected to have at least six _a building within five months. The Terrace Peaks Gymnastics Club was awaiting a decision to a proposal put forth to city.coun- cil for a land grant on which to build their own gymnasium complex. The city was consider- ing the proposal along with input from the Community and Recreation Committee and Ter- race Advisory Parks and Recre- ation Committee. The gymnas- tics club said they had outgrown facilities available in local school gyms and were in need of their own space, - FOUR ' YEARS AGO THIS .Richmond-based Skylink Air- lines announced a decision to expand a strictly cargo service between Terrace and Vancouver _ to include passenger service. The airline had already received their licence and planned to begin carrying passengers before Christmas. “A solution of what to do with the old police building on the’ corner of Kalum Street and Lakelse Avenue was finally found. The Happy Gang Centre had wanted to purchase the two lots on the corner and asked the city to remove the building. Nobody wanted the building torn down and the Heritage Society did not want to move the building to Heritage Park. They said Heritage money could be obtained for restoration, but only if the building were not moved. After reaching an agree- ment with the Happy Gang Cen- tre, the city’s Community and Recreation Services committee . recommended the Old Age Pen- sioners Association purchase the property, sub-divide, then deed the portion on which the police building was standing to the city. The city would then restore the building and lease it to the Old Age Pensioners who could then sub-let ‘it ; gavernment. branches in place in Our Coming Events column is a public service offered by the Terrace Review.
