‘More’ “that
curling

TERRACE CURLERS
came vp just a bit short at
the Legion Provincial Curl-
ing Champonships February
1-4.

On the senior’s side, the
John Veldman rink finished
with a two and two record,
while Larry Burke’s rink
finished at zero and five in
regular play.

Jim Gallaugher’s
Esquimalt rink beat Tom
Wild of Vernon 8-7 in the
final round of senior’s play.

Tom Carmichael’s Prince
George rink downed Arm-
strong’s Val Schawb 7-6 to
take home winning honors
on the regular side,

But even though Terrace
didn’t come awy with any
immediate awards, the long
term benefits for the city
may still be to come,

“Some of the out-of-town
curlers raved about Ter-
race,’” says Championship
chair Marge Skead.

“They were really im-
pressed with the scenery and
generousily of the mer
chants and the beauty of the
city.” ;

GYMNASIUMS IN this area are bur-
sting at the seams, and the older stu-
dents become, the fewer the ap-
portunilics there are available to them.

Uplands grade 7 teacher Dighton
Haynes says there’s currently about 340
grade 6 and 7 kids involved in basket-
ball, in grade 8 he says that number
drops off to about 60, and in junior high
it’s only about 30.

And he says the lack of gym time is
the main reason behind this.

‘*Kids at the schools do come around
looking to help out in some way and
become involved in sports because they
didn’t make the team,’’ he says.

‘Jf there was more time available, il
would be used.’’

Haynes does point out there is an ac-
live intermural program at the schools,
but says because there’s so many teams
involved, it can often be weeks between
each match,

And that he says makes it to keep in-
terest up.

On the senior level, it’s a slightly dif-
ferent stary though.

“At this level, I’m quite pleased with
amount of gym time, because there’s
not a fot of teams at Cal,”’ says girls
basketball coach Scott Stewart.

**The biggest problem I see is the lack
of coaches.’’

Stewart says more gym time isn’t

going to help anyone unless there’s
more people willing to head up the

tcams.

Skeena principal Rob Greenwood
says they do have a number of coaches
who are from outside of the school sys-
tem, but adds so far it hasn’t been a
scramble to find them.

“There are — excellent,
coaches,”” he says.

“Bul T do find it surprising: that a
town this size doesn’t have a recreation
facility,””

Greenwood says some adult recrea-
tion groups call to book gym time up ta
a year in advance,

But the city’s supervisor of Parks and
Recreation Steve Scott says adding a
new facility simply can’t be considered
under the current budget plan.

In 1995, Parks and Rec was allocated
just over 1.7 million dollars for their
operating budget.

And although Scott says final figures
aren’t available yet, he thinks they'll
probably end up with a $100,000 sur-
plus. -

But that money doesn’t necessarily go

excellent

back to Parks and Rec for the ’96°

budget,

Ivll go into the city’s accumulated
surplus fund, and council members will
decide what to do with it from there.
