We'd like to thank Cathy Davies for pointing out that there are 50 students entering the program, and the actual enrol- ment in all grades is in fact 250.. Lorna Copeland explained, “The need for a personalized service has been identified by contact with people receiving Meals on Wheels and contact with other community agencies. Many elderly people are house- bound and isolated due to their inability to access transporta- tion.” According to Copeland, some communities operate a ‘“handi- committee paving program extended fur- ther south.

The person is then picked up at their residence and given any necessary assistance and transportation at a cost of only $2 for the round trip. Copeland said that the service would “‘enhance the lives of many individuals’? and sug- gested that it could be operated through Terrace Community Services. She added that it could be possible to also offer schedul- ed trips to the Hot Springs or evening performances at the R.E.M. Lee Theatre. The city also received a letter from Aileen Frank, secretary for the B.C. Old Age Pensioners Organization Branch 73, who said that a ‘¢djal-a-ride”’ transportation system would provide a more convenient means of transportation than is presently available. “Many seniors retain their drivers licenses beyong the limit of their driving ability,” wrote Frank. ‘Seniors also find park- ing and winter driving quite stressful, Other lonely seniors who are unable to use the city buses remain at home and miss out on many community ac- tivities.” a Oddjob contest back Terrace and Kitimat are engaged in a friendly competition this week (July 11-20), with the winner being the community that creates the highest number of casual jobs. The ‘‘oddjob”’ competition is organized by the student employment counsellors at the Canada Employment Centre. Counsellor Sherrie Oman says any casual job — like lawnmowing, babysitting or painting — that lasts less than five days will qualify in the competition. To hire a student, call 635-7134 and ask for Sherrie or Annette. The local counsellors are hoping for a better showing from Terrace this year. We lost last margin: 61 jobs in Terrace, against 150 in Kitimat. year by a rather substantial New radio service The new magazine show on CBC a.m. radio in Terrace will inclue a mix of public affairs, modern native music, and a pot- pourri of traditional culture, the executive director of Northern Native Broadcasting said. David French explained the show expands the programming of NNB, which in the past two years has produced music and public affairs programs broad- cast on a number of radio sta- tions including Terrace’s CJFW. The first half-hour will spotlight native musicians living and working in the northern half of B.C, The second segment, ‘Tonee’ Waa’ Lehm,”’ which means everything we do tradi- tionally, will include native legends, children’s stories, and traditional native songs. The public affairs segment, ‘’The Native Perspective,” will be devoted largely to issues that Weather Date AI Lo Prec.

Finally, a native music pro- gram featuring B.C. and Cana- dian recording artists will finish the two-hour show. Interspersed will be general interest news- casts, with sports and entertain- ment, focusing on the local com- munity. French said that considerable negotiation with the CBC, com- bined with some direction from the Canadian Radio and Tele- communications Commission regarding native progrramming, led to the CBC approving NNB’s program schedule and application late in May. The show, heard only in the Terrace area, will originate from the NNB’s studios located above the Credit Union. el eon, Real Estate | you plan, you own. before you buy.

However, zoning is even more impor- tant to the buyers of land who are planning to erect their own home. Some communities may have zoning that will make it impossible for you to build the home For instance, one community may require a specific amount of acreage for a one-family zone. If you buy a smaller lot than the zoning ordinance requires, you may not be able to build the house you want on the lot f home which is allowable in your zoning area. You may plan to build a second floor apartment, possibly for another member of your family or even for rental purposes. If the property is a one-family residential zone, you may be out of luck.
