A year ago
this week —

he Halliwell Ave. log
; hauling question was back
before Terrace city coun-
cil a year ago this week. Skeena
Cellulose was seeking a permit to
haul 750 loads of logs out of New-
ton Creek via North Sparks and
Halliwell between Dec. 1 and
mid-March, a request which coun-
cil sent to the Committee of the
Whole for a recommendation.
Because of the condition of the
road surface on Halliwell between
Sparks and Thomas, residents had
opposed logging truck traffic on
Halliwell for more than two years.
Council had issued hauling permits
in the past, during the winter
months when the road bed was
frozen, but felt it was time to
review the haulers’ past perfor-
mance to see how well city-
imposed restrictions had been
followed.
' And council had another prob-
lem. Four city aldermen entered
the Celebrity 4x2 Slab Race at the
Skeena Valley Fall Fair, but they
had no idea what they were getting
into. Someone suggested that it
involved strapping the feet of a
two-man team to a couple of slabs.
This team, then, was to race to the
other end of the course, but it
required cooperation and
coordination as well as a little
skill, and it was suggested that our
city aldermen might have a bit of
a problem with the first two items.
Around town, Twin River
Estates, the seniors affordable
housing project, was proving to be
popular with seniors. Project man-
ager Dennis Palmu and super-
intendent Cliff Johnston were
already preparing plans for Phase
II of the project a year ago this
week. An office manned by mem-
bers of the Skeena Senior Citizen’s
Housing Society was also opened

a year ago this week. From this
office, volunteers would conduct
tours and display samples of a
variety of interior finishes and
other items.

n the business front, the
Vancouver Stock
Exchange was setting new
records due to recent assay results
from a gold exploration project
north of Stewart. The property was
Eskay Creek. The index and num-
bers of shares traded hit a one-day
historic high, and the value of
shares traded wasn’t far behind.
VSE legend Murray Pezim’s Cal-
pine Resources owned 50 percent
of the property, and according to
Pezim Eskay Creek could be one
of the biggest sulphide gold
deposits ever found in Canada.
Jim Bartlett, a mining analyst
with a Vancouver investment firm,
was taking a more cautious
approach, though. He told the
Terrace Review that eight test
holes had been drilled at the site
but only the results of one had
been released. He said he was
walling to see the results of the
other seven core samples before he
gat too excited.
The Ministry of Forests was
showing off the results of a little
investment program of their own a

year ago this week. Forests Minis-
ter Dave Parker, along with a few
staff member. from the Kalum
Forest District and Prince Rupert
Forest Region offices, took a
covey of local reporters on a tour
to show them the silviculture work
that had been accomplished with
FRDAI money in order to explain
why the area needed a FRDA Il
agreement. At that point federal
and provincial politicians had
failed to agree on a FRDA II cost-
sharing formula.

Asbestos was one of the primary
topics for discussion in the world
of health care a year ago this
week. The question of a possible
health hazard due to asbestos in-
sulation began in Kitimat General
Hospital when it was thought as-
bestos might have been linked to a
health complaint by a hospital
employee there.

Originally, funding was only
available for Kitimat but for eco-
nomic reasons it was later
expanded to all hospitals in the
district where asbestos insulation

was used in the original construc-

tion. A year ago this week, there-
fore, the Kitimat-Stikine Regional
Hospital District approved the first
of a two-stage asbestos abatement
program at hospitals in Terrace,
Kitimat and Stewart.

munity College -announced

the name of a new and ener-
getic leader in the program deve-
lopment field. Gary Morrison had
just returned to northern B.C. from
a year-long posting in Abu Dhabi
in the smal! state of United Arab
Emirates on the Persian Gui.
Morrison’s challenge in Abu Dhabi
was the formation of a new col-
lege.

Along with the announcement of
Morrison’s posting at NWCC, the
names of several new instructors
were released as well. Some of
these included Judy Chrysler,
Personal Fitness Management in
the nursing program; Kathy Mac-
Donald, nursing instructor; Mary
Swift moved into the English
department, Jim Bathgate into the
vocational/technical field, Chris
Baird specialized in Science and
Math, Wendy Abbott in Adult
Literacy, Suzanne Gardner in
Science, and Scott Neis became a
lab technician. .

t was a record, yet it wasn’t.
I The annual Prince Rupert to

Terrace bicycle race was
completed in four hours, one
minute, 41 seconds a year ago this
week. This was a record because it

was the first year the race had ever
been run from the coast to Terrace.
The previous year's time was 14
minutes, 41 seconds faster but that
race had been run in the usual
downhill direction from Terrace to
the coast. But it was also a record
for another reason... four riders
finished the race in a pack,

In the senior men’s division,
Mike Christensen of Terrace, Mark
Henry of Prince Rupert, and Tyler
Cochrane of Smithers placed one,
two, three. The junior men’s divi-

A year ago this week, Twin River Estates, the affordable seniors’ housing project at the east end
of Lakelse Ave., had been so well received that project manager Dennis Palmu and superintendent
Cliff Johnston were looking over blueprints to start planning Phase II of the complex. At the same
time, members of the Skeena Senior Citizens’ Housing Society opened an on site office from which

they could conduct tours and display samples of interior finish and other items.

sion went to Guido Schnelzer of
Prince Rupert, Randy Huisman of
Smithers and Chiron Kantakis of
Terrace. Smither’s Patti Huisman
led the senior women, followed by
Cheryl Steele of Prince Rupert,
Deanne Hatfield of Houston and
Sandy Dyson of Smithers. Karl
Klein of Ketchikan, Alaska, was
the only entry in the master’s
division. He placed eighth overall.

Two Terrace teams had a crack
at B.C, championships a year ago
this week, but both fell short. The
Terrace Northern Motor Inn
Stealers started off well in their
quest for the B.C. intermediate ’B’
provincial ladies’ fastball title by
winning their first two games but
lost their third and were eliminated
in their fourth.

And there was the All Seasons
Expose, in the running for the B.C.
intermediate ’A’ mixed slo-pitch
softball championships at
Nanaimo. They lost the opener,
came back to with the second, but
were defeated and eliminated in
their third game of the series.

Termace’s Paul Clark was in
Seattle a year ago this week and
placed 13th in the annual "Wheels
of Fire" 15-kilometre race, Clark
felt 13th wasn’t good enough, but
he was up against 250 other ath-
letes, And, “Only a few of the best
in North America missed the race,"

Clark told the Terrace Review. .

Clark had three races left in his
1989 season. These were to be

held in Montreal, Heidelberg, West
Germany, and Oeda, Japan. -

And finally in the news a year
ago this week, representatives of
Terrace city council, School Dis-
trict 88 and the B.C, Northern
Winter Games Society gathered in
Terrace to formalize an agreement
for the 1991 games that were to be
held in Terrace. This was a 'first’
for the games in that Terrace and
the school district were

-*co-hosting’ the games.
