Geri Larkin, Dec Moore ’ Jim Larkin, Nancy _Holubowski _ Terrace Musicians Association Letter To the editor, On behalf of the Ter-- race Man-In-Motion Committee, I would. like to extend our thanks to all the volunteers who sup- ported and conducted Man-In-Motion activities in Terrace and Thornhill. Man-In-Motion Week was a huge success be- cause. of the dedicated ef- fort of these volunteers. It is almost impossible to name all the volunteers who took part in aware- ness and fund raising ac- tivities, because many events: and contributions were made by people who do not wish to be recog- . nized publicly. These peo- ple gain personal satisfac- tion in the knowledge that they have responded to a greater need without being asked. Although it is not cer- tain at this time how much money will be raised, the public response has been , overwhelming. This alone makes the project a great success. It is the sincere wish of the Man-In-Motion Com- mittee that this spirit lives on because, as Rick Han-. sen, himself, has. said, “The dream is just begin- ning.”’ ‘Steve Scott Terrace Man-In-Motion Committee Terrace | To the editor, I have been following with interest the issue of logging trucks using Hall- iwell and North Sparks. I’ve been to almost all the meetings, listened to the debate and watched Coun- cil members wrestle with the issue. When I hear so- ‘meone declare ‘“‘this is a logging town’’ to win-an ’ argument, I worry enough about what that is suppos- ed to mean to take an in- terest. Terrace is, after all, a community of people. On Jan. 20 some 250 residents, most of them from the bench, attended a public meeting to voice their opinion about the - use of North Sparks and Halliwell as a logging truck haul route. The public was informed by the Mayor that according to City Bylaws at the time the logging trucks could use the streets. The meeting gave the Mayor and his Council a resounding ‘no’ to the no- tion and weight restric- tions were suggested as a method of enforcing the wishes of the residents. Also an alternative pro- posal was suggested which would have required the logging company to build a stretch of logging road north of Terrace. The company said that such a proposal was un- economical, but gave no figures to support their claim. One bench resident wondered whether that meant only that their Pro- fit would be less. idents left the “meeting - confident that the Council would act to prevent log hauling through residen- tial streets. At least, the - Mayor by his closing re- mark gave that impres- | sion. , - The debate continued at the Jan. 27 Council meet- ing, where Council was presented with a petition of 155 signatures of bench residents opposed to log hauling on their streets. Still, Council would: not act. Instead, a new pro-— posal which would send the trucks down North Munroe, Twedle, North Thomas and McConnell was introduced: by Alder- man: Cooper. This proposal was de- feated at the Special Council meeting on Feb. 2 and a motion by Alder- man Clark and Alderman Smith followed to deny. Bell Pole’ permission to use Halliwell and North Sparks. It was defeated by ‘the other members of Council present. Other motions were then passed which basically preserved the status quo. The trucks -kept rolling — after all, the City Bylaws still allow- ed them to use City streets — at least that is what everyone thought. Finally, by an Act of God, the weather got warmer and without the frost in the ground the trucks stopped . hauling. The issue would lie dor- mant for a while. The irony is that much _ of the debate and frustra- Is still a oft . tion was caused by misin- formation, The public has been told that current City Bylaws allow log hauling ‘on all City streets. The . fact is that a Bylaw exists which makes log hauling on Halliwell. and North Sparks illegal. I. believe this issue has been passed over to lightly by the media. One. of the concerned citizens making presenta- - tions.at the Feb. 2 Council meeting was Vic Jolliffe. The Mayor and the City Administrator questioned the accuracy of some of _ Mr. Jolliffe’s statements. Alderman Cooper's re- mark about truth may ~ have helped prompt Mr. Jolliffe, citizen, to do the research to prove his point and prove his point he did at the Feb. :23 Council meeting. The record shows that Bell Pole had approached Council in February of 1986, almost exactly one year ago, and Council had a year to ad- - dress the problem, It had been possible to avoid the confrontation between residents and truck drivers, The urgency ex- pressed at the Jan. 20 Council meeting was cre- ated by neglect. It is also true that in 1977 Council adopted a Bylaw which prohibits the use of Halliwell for log hauling. Concerned | cit- izens could have been demanding that the Coun- cil enforce its Bylaws in- stead of having to beg Council to help them. The ‘serious questions. trucks should not: have been rolling in the first, place. This new revelation cer- tainly strengthens the position of the concerned =~ citizens; it also begs other . One . wonders why no one on Council knew -that this . restricting Bylaw existed - — Mayor Talstra and Al- .derman Cooper were members of Council in. 1977. Why didn’t some- one at City Hall do the ‘research necessary. Need- less to say, some members of Council were suitably embarrassed at the Feb. 23 meeting. I wonder if Bell Pole would have invested their time and money’ if they had known the Bylaw existed. All in all, it sounds like pretty sloppy work, There was some humor in all this. During some of the debate on the issue, a weight restriction sign ap- peared on North Sparks. It faced North so you had to be driving into Terrace to see it and the restriction prohibited logging trucks on municipal streets. You couldn’t see this sign when driving your empty truck » to the Kitselas area, but when it was fully loaded and heading South into Terrace, then you would see the sign. It must have created an interesting di- lemma for a law abiding truck driver. The issue will likely lie. ‘dormant till next winter, but my attendance at the . continued om page 5
