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. “Guaranteed Nelson Quality, Delivery, Service and Price” The Legacy Continues to Build...
