AN ATTEMPT to elect a
new board for the Terrace-
Kitimat Airport Society
failed June 25 when not
enough current directors
showed up for a planned
annual general meeting.

The new plan is to have
the annual general meet-
ing in September once va-
cations and other commit-
ments are concluded, cur-
rent society president Fra-
ser Mackie said last week.

The saciety is a not-for-
profit enterprise created in
the last decade to manage
the affairs of the airport
following a federal govern-
ment decision to get out of
the airport business.

“We had enough mem-
bers, just not enough dir-
ectors,” said Mackie.

The members are the
City of Terrace, the Kiti-
mat-Stikine regional dis-
trict, the Terrace and Dis-
trict Chamber of Com-
merce and the Kitimat
Chamber of Commerce.

Each member selects a
director who then select
three directors-at-large.
These directors then select

THE CITY will spend up
to $100,000 for a statue of
a Kermode bear and land-
scaping to welcome visit-
ors to town.

Those are the newest
additions to plans for a
gateway. area that motor-
ists will see as they drive
acrass the new Skeena
River bridge into Terrace
and past the new Wal-
Mart store.

The money comes from
what development services
director David Trawin de-
scribes as savings from the
$500,000 the city had bud-
geted for highway impro-
vements required as part of
the Wal-Mart develop-
ment.

A new lighted intersec-
tion, extra lanes and other
off-site costs were expec-
ted to cost $750,000 — of
which the city was to pay
about two-thirds.

But Trawin said bids
came in at about half what
was anticipated, and the
city now only has to con-
tribute $300,000.

That means there’s an
extra $200,000 available,
he said.

“You can’t have a mickey
mouse bear. It’s got to be

sharp.”

Some councillors felt
the city should check on
the cost of getting a sec--
ond statue made that could
be placed elsewhere, pos-
sibly in a spot tourists
could reach more easily.

Councillor Carol Le-
clere predicted some tour-
ists will brave multiple
lanes of highway traffic to
try to get their photo taken
beside the bear statue,

“T can see people doing
it,” she said,

The planner said the
statue and landscaping
will help improve the ap-
pearance of the city as vi-
sitors enter — distracting
attention away from the
Wal-Mart store.

“It gives you something
else to train your eyes on,”
Trawin said.
