TERRACE STANDARD

TERRACE — Northern B.C,
Winter Games organizers say a
recent surge in the number of
people offering to host athletes
has them encouraged and hop-
ing cuts to events can be avold-
ed, ;

With ‘ more ‘than 400
households now confirmed to
take in 1,068 out-of-town
youngsters for the Feb. 1-3
weekend, Games coordinator
Marge Skead said last week
things are looking up.

“We've almost doubled the
number of billets in the last cou-
ple..of weeks;’’ she said. ‘'{
think we'll find a place for them
all somewhere, Terrace can do
it.

Skead said the billeting com-
mittee is still aiming for the
Original estimate of 1,800

TERRACE — At least 80 Ket-
chikan athletes are geared up to
head for the Northern B.C.
Winter Games, according to
Ketchikan’s parks and recrea-
tion director.

Susie Daly said the number of
Alaskan participants is down
this year from the 200 that at-
tended the Games in Prince
Rupert, largely because fewer
events are being’ offered here in
Terrace.

“This time around we're
more limited in what events we
can. eriter,.1 think it’s mainly
because ‘there’s just fewer
events," she said. ‘And there
are some events. that we're
waiting to. hear if there are
openings.” -

_ Daly said the’: Ketchikan
athletes are expected to come to
Terrace to compete in masters
swimming, bowling,

black powder,

‘Other events that the
Alaskans might be participating
in are karate, cribbage, soccer,
bridge, boxing, soccer and bad-
minton,

billets, although | a. more exact
number required is expected
soon as final registrations come
in.

“We'll have a better-idea of
how many we need in the next
week or so,”' she said.’ “Until
then. we're’ still pushing for
1,800.) ,

Skead said some sports
organizations are actively work-
ing to boost the billet total. Soc-
cer organizers have committed
to provide 50 billets, and are
challenging other sports groups
to meet or beat that figure..

All under-i8° youth. athletes
must be. billeted under Winter
Games regulations.

Skead said the sudden -in-
crease. in billets now ‘has
organizers more confident that
some events won't be cut.
Organizers three weeks ago
were saying some of the team
sports with the most players
might have to be dropped from
the Games program if sufficient

~ billets weren’t found.
