Safe launching pad
needed for fireworks |

by Tod Strachan

In years gone by, we’ve had a
problem lighting our fireworks.
Not because the matches were wet
or we were lacking the necessary
talent, but because every time we
find a place to light them we get
complaints.

We first tried the playing field at

| Skeena Junior Secondary School

but that was no good. Neighbours
complained of their pets having
"nervous breakdowns" and there
were a few decks and porches set
on fire by sparks. This was fol-
lowed by a "one-shot effort" on
Kalum St. below the arena hill, but
that didn’t work. It was Hallow-
e’en, a little cool, and everyone
wanted to watch the show from
their car. This created a hazard
because it blocked emergency
vehicle access to major roads.

Next, we tried a vacant lot beside
B.C. Hydro. It seemed like a good
spot. There was plenty of parking
on Keith and Highway, and for the
adventuresome a grandstand view
from a number of locations on the
edge of the bench. Our town was
growing, though, and we were
chased out of there as well. The
construction of a propane bulk
plant in the vicinity promised a
potential show larger than anyone
wanted and then there was
increased tog storage at Skeena
Sawmills. Set those logs ablaze
and we could destroy our econo-
my.

The search for a fireworks stag-
ing site was on again. And we
found one. It was perfect. It was
Ferry Island.

There was a nice large gravel bar

Beautification Society volun-
teers turned out July 22 to set up
additional sidewalk planters in
the 4600 block of Lakelse
Avenue. The concrete planters
each contain a variety of colour-
ful flowers designed to enhance
the downtown core. The plants
were donated by Pacific
Regeneration nursery, who will
continue to donate plants each
year,

There are five planters yet to
be set up at the foot of the arena
hill. Any person or business in-
terested in sponsoring or main-
taining the arena hill planters is
encouraged to contact George
Clark at 635-2281.

Other Beautification Society
news — it’s still not too late to
enter the Beautification contest.
There are categories for best
garden and best industrial/com-
mercial property. Entries can be
picked up at the Co-op, the Ter-
race Review, the Terrace Stan-
dard and Uplands Nursery.
Judging of the contest will be
held the second week in August.
The date is to be announced,

Next meeting of the Beautifi-
cation Society will be Aug. 2 at 7
p.m, at council chambers, city
hall. 0

that was easy to keep the public
away, so from that point it was
safe. And there was plenty of
parking on Lakelse Ave. and High-
way. Residents could park almost
anywhere on one of our bridges, or
so they seemed to believe, and
balance their tots on the bridge
railing while they watched the
show. |

But this is the last year we will
see any fireworks at this site.
Many have decided that there are
unacceptable hazards being created

‘here as well. With both Lakelse

and the highway blocked off for
up to an hour, there’s no way for
police, ambulances or fire trucks to

travel between Terrace and Thorn-
hill as well as a few other points
on Hwy. 16 and 37. Besides, one
of those tots could easily fall off
the railing of the bridge.

So, once Riverboat Days is over,
ihe search for a new fireworks
staging area is on again. The mat-
ter was discussed briefly at the last
city council meeting, whete alder-
man Danny. Sheridan promised it
would be discussed at much
greater length prior to next year’s
event. In the meantime, he said,
Public Works and the RCMP are
discussing the matter in an effort
to identify another site.

Terrace Review — Wednesday, August I, 1990 All.

No relief in sight —

If you can put cement blocks together and do a little plumbing,
the city needs you. We all need you.

If there’s ever to be any relief in George Little Memorial Park the
city has to find someone to build the washroom facilities there that
they budgeted for last spring. They tried once. According to
superintendent of parks and recreation Steve Scott, the job was -
advertised last month with a tender closing date of July 18. Two
local contractors did pick up tender packages, says Scott, but neither
retumed a completed document.

Alderman Danny Sheridan says there are several factors that have
caused the problem: the construction industry in Terrace is too busy
and the job too small, and the city took too long to put the tender
packages together. But council wants to try again. The job is going
io be advertised a second time in the hope that some contractor
might be between jobs. It’s hoped that if the advertising is done
soon the job might begin in September and be compieted in
October.
