‘TERRACE, B.C., WEDNESDAY, March 18, 1987 ~50CENTS

FERRACE — Malcolm
Hilcove, the man who
brought the Golden Ar-—
ches to Terrace, has been
named Businessperson of
the Year by the Terrace
and District Chamber of
Commerce.-

Hilcove and his wife

‘Peggy received the award ..
during a recent. luncheon
at the Inn of the West, but
not without suffering a
few well-intentioned barbs -
first from Doug Smith and |
Dr. Joe Zuchiatti.

Zuchiatti observed that
Terrace’s position: as a: |
regional center enables it.
to support a variety of |
ethnic restaurants, and he
credited Hilcove with es-
tablishing ‘‘Scottish’’. .
cuisine in the community. ©
Hilcove, he said, had iden-
tified three previously un- |
exploited segments of the
restaurant market: ‘‘Peo- -

~ ple who like their meals
with no soup, people who »
like their meals with’ no*
salad, and people who.
prefer to eat with their |
hands instead of cutlery.””
Zuchiatti also . extended
Hilcove congratulations
from local health care pro- |
fessionals for single-
handedly ‘‘eliminating..:
mayonnaise deficiency ~
syndrome”. <° -

Doug Smith claimed to
have written. assessments
from the staff at. Mc-

' Donalds describing Hil-
cove as “‘a porcupine with ©
ingrown quills’? with the -
“disposition of an untip-
ped waiter’’.

After enduring the
good-natured prodding,
Hilcove was presented
with a plaque by Mayor
Jack Talstra.

Hilcove emigrated to.
Canada from his South
African home in 1981. In
B.C. he became involved -
with management in the
Kentucky Fried Chicken ~~
organization and later
made a lateral move to
McDonalds. Hilcove and
his. family moved to Ter-
race in 1983 to establish
the first McDonalds fran-
chise in the Northwest.
Since then he has been a
prominent member of
community organizations
such as the Terrace Clean-
up Committee and the
Terrace Beautification
Society.

Last year the Terrace
McDonalds outlet col-
lected more money for
community causes than
any other B.C, franchise -
on McHappy Days.
