Rick King
Why is Rick King running for
council? He believes there is a
real need for the views of the
average person’ to
represented on council.

What issues concern him?

* Projects and developments
in Terrace must be in the best
interest of the: community’s
long-range plan and not the
self-interest of a few.

* A recycling program must
be developed to reduce the im-
Pact on our resources and waste
going into the landfill site. Col-
lection, handling and develop-
ment of a regional colection
depot could create jobs,

® We should be manufactur-
ing value-added cedar products
to create more jobs. As an
alderman, Rick will encourage
local industry to process value-
added products, sos

* There is a need to develop

growing demand. on recrea-

tional facilities. As a coach/par- .

ticipant in hockey and soccer,
Rick sees at first hand. the
frustration caused by increased
demand on already. stretched
facilties,

* Rick would discourage tax
dollars being spent on the pro-
posed convention centre, in-
stead encouraging private fun-
ding. .

® Rick will work hard to en-
sure increased property
assessments are not reflected in
increased taxes.

A 17 year resident of Terrace,
Rick is married to Isabel and
has two sons, He is a plumber-
gasfitter with the school district,
active on the C,U.P.E. ex-
ecutive and in minor hockey
and soccer.

tion, we must provide goods .

and services to attract this im-
mensely valuable trade.

This has not been an easy task :
to date and will not be any
easier in the future; but with
hard work, perseverance and
dedication we can continue to
serve existing clients while
developing new ones.

One of the most important in-
itiatives undertaken by council
was the trade mission to south-
‘east Alaska, a region of im-
measurable trade possibilities,

Shames Mountain is coming
on stream and Mount Layton
Hotsprings continues to ex-
pand. The possibility of Terrace
as a regional tourism: destina-
tion provides almost unlimited,
service sector potential. Free
trade also opens opportunities
for the industrial and commer-
cial sector,

In the next three years council
must find innovative ways to ex-
pand our industrial-commercial
base. We must also look
seriously at the environment —
clean air and .water, waste
disposal, landfill- sites and
recycling. co

Danny Sheridan

Elected to council in 1987,
Danny Sheridan believes the
issues are: ;

* Amalgamation with Thor-
nhill — it offers the benefits of
co-ordinated planning, a greater
tax base, joint usage of services
(e.g. sewage treatment plant)
and an increase in population
statistics for calculating money
the community receives from
different agencies and groups
{proper negotiation with the
province should ensure a for-
mula beneficial to both the city
the outlying areas.

* Capital projects — We
must proceed to design and
costing stages on the com-
munity/conference centre, the
library expansion or including it
as part of the centre and
another ice surface to enable us
to increase figure skating’ and
minor hockey training functions
‘arid hott toureaaee Dart of
‘économic development for the
community.

*Waste

‘management/Recycling —

council has to seriously look at
this problem. We only have 10
years’ capacity left at the tand-
fill site, Recycling has to be part
of the solution. We cannot just
sit and wait for other levels of
government to do something.

® Seniors’ services — This
will continue to be a serious
economic development function
in this city. We need to attract
this segment of society and con-
vince them Terrace is where
they should retire. Aside from
the dollar benefit to the com-
munity, it provides us with very
talented people with 2 wealth of
knowledge and available time to
contribute to its needs.

Many of you may know my
name and possibly even my face
from my job -as_ officer-in-
charge of the local: weather of-
fice. However, the purpose of
an election is not to put a
weatherman on to city council.

My wife, my son and I have
settled into Terrace and I would
like to see this city continue to
-be one of the best communities
in British Columbia to raise a
family or operate a ‘business.

Recreation facilities, a strong
economic base and safe streets
are all important facets of a city
that is a good place to live.

. A number of people in Ter-
tace know me to be an “action”
person..On many occasions |
have listened to citizens raising
valid: concerns, but too ooften
they. are aired only over coffee

a ae

or on the street.

‘Those same people would like
to have a voice on the city coun-
cil but do not feel that some of
the incumbents are ap-
proachable or action-oriented.

Approachability should be of
primary importance to an alder-
man. Democratically elected
council members should be
there to represent the citizens of
Terrace, you and your
neighbour, —

-Hf-you want input into how
this city is administered, if you
want input into the kind of
community your children grow
up.in, if you want input into the
kind of life you live, go to the
