A2 Terrace Review — Wednesday, June 26, 1991

WE CARE. That was the motto of last week's Law Enforcement Torch Run. The event, organized

. throughout B.C. to promote awareness of law enforcement activities and to raise money for B.C.

Special Olympics, drew 25 participants in Terrace and raised over $1,000 for Special Olympics. .

Torch Run collects $1,000

The evening of June 18 saw the
Terrace portion of the Special
Olympics Law Enforcement Run
successfully concluded with sun-
shine, congratulations and generous
donations all round.

Cst. Jane Andrew says the run
raised over $1,000 for Special
Olympics. Several Special
Olympics athletes and 25 law
enforcement officers — regular
and auxiliary RCMP members,
sheriffs and crown counsels —
participated in the first section of
the 16-kilometre run from New

Remo to City Hall and more

joined them on the final leg to the
first rest stop east of town in
Thornhill.

At City Hall, alderman Darryl
Laurent proclaimed Law Enforce-
ment Week in Terrace. Special
Olympics co-ordinator Joan Cox
introduced all the Special Olympic
athletes present in floor hockey,
bowling and swimming. Organizers
Jane Andrew and David -Cramm
were. presented with bouquets of
flowers for all their efforts by
Special Olympians Silas Clayton
and Dale Brown. .

From city hall, all the partici-
pants proceeded at a brisk pace to

herrace

McDonald’s Restaurant where
McDonald’s representative Steve
McKeddie presented a cheque for
$213 to the Special Olympics. The
money had been raised through the
sale, by RCMP officers, of 272

Big Macs, Fifty cents from each
Big Mac was donated to Special
Olympics and further money came
from the Donation House on the
front counter at McDonald's.

LIBRARY TALKS BEGIN

The question of a Terrace Public
Library expansion is expected to
be presented in the form of a refer-
endum in November. but the pro-
cess of getting there seems to be
moving at a snail’s pace.

It was several months ago that
city council said a referendum
couldn’t take place until the issue

of cost sharing with the greater .

Terrace area could be resolved.
According to council, rural library
use has increased significantly but
under the current cost-sharing
agreement rural users are paying
far less than they should.

After a long period of silence,
the first city-regional district meet-
ing on the cost-sharing issue final-
ly tock place recently behind
closed doors. Regional district
director Les Watmough says both
he and fellow director Sandy Sand-
hals agreed at that meeting that the

shortcomings of the current cost-
shariig formula need to be
addressed. "We need a sharing
agreement that is fair for every-
body," says Watmough.

The process of developing a new
formula, though, could take longer
than it took to get to the first
meeting where it was agreed that a
new formula is needed. Watmough
says usage, costs and charges have
to be reviewed. But even if that
work is completed in time, the
regional district wants to see firm
plans and better cost estimates on
the library expansion proposal
before they agree to a referendum.

Asked if all this can be done in
time for a November referendum,
Watmough said, "I think we can
barely squeak through," but added,
"The library board, the architect
and city council have some work
to do first."
