that travelling carnivals. and
amusement parks cause parking
and dust control problems, and
it was suggested that it should be
a condition of the permit that
operators will be responsible for
addressing these problems. The
matter has been tabled, how-
ever, to allow the Superin-
tendent of Parks and Recreation
time to. contact other

municipalities in the area to

discuss measures they may have

already taken.

- Under existing requirements,
the operator is required to en-
sure that parking lots and en-
trances to nearby businesses not
be blocked during regular oper-
ating hours. The operator is
charged a licence fee of $220 a
day and required to post a
$1,000 security deposit. They
don’t pay, however, for the use

of city-owned land.

‘Letters to the Editor

Elks disappointed

To the Editor;

The Elks have just completed
their annual sports day for chil-
dren at the Elks Park on Mor-
day, May 22 with over 1,100
children and approximately 300
adults .in attendance. Upon
speaking to the adults who were
there, it seemed they were quite
pleased with the event and hope
it will continue for years to
come.

_It was very disappointing not -

to see anyone attend this func-
tion from the city council; but
for the Terrace council, this is

quite normal, as I get the feeling”

they do not care if this kind of
event is successful or not. The

Editor’s reply: At the Terrace
Review we make every possible
effort — including working
weekends and evenings —. to
publicize the activities of service
clubs and non-profit community
organizations in the Terrace-
Thornhill area, Due to. the
number of such organizations
(there are well over 100) and the
realities of editorial staffing

rectified.

Most of the active clubs in the

A park is born

To the Editor;

A bench: parent association
was formed in early May to
commence development of a tot
park next to the Kin Hut at the
Terraceview site. We called our-
selves V.I.P. (volunteers in
parks). After a few meetings,
things were well under way.

The park would only have
been a dream for the future
without the valued help of local
businesses and the talents and
equipment donated by members
of our group.

_T would like to take this op-

- portunity to thank those who

contributed to our park, ex-

pecially the local merchants and .

contractors who helped. out,

‘Steve Scott (Superintendent of

Parks and Recreation), the City
of Terrace for the adventure
playground equipment and the
Kinsmen.
I hope our park is ‘only the
beginning of such community
endeavors. There is nothing

more gratifying than being a

part of such positive change.
Once again, thanks so much
to those who played such a large
role in our park.
Megan Smaha,

Terrace. -
