The trend was _ expected to continue for the next few years. ae drumming and feasting high- Compiled by Diana English = lighted the event, attended by ne year ago this week the Ternice Health Care Society was reborn as the Terrace Regional Health Care Society. The name change ‘was made to more accurately reflect the regional nature of health care services in Terrace. Chairman David Lane told the society membership that Terrace had served as the centre for the © Pacific Northwest, in every way except name, for the previous 10 years. He added, "It was time we stood up and told people what we have in our community and pur- sue the regional concept." Also one year ago, Advanced Education and Job Training min- ister Bruce Strachan cut the rib- bon on Terrace’s new Technical and Enterprise Centre, The centre houses the Northwest Community College downtown centre, the | Skeena Labour Market office, Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce, 16-37 Community Futures and the Ministry of Advanced Education and Tech- nology. It allowed local NWCC students to register at universities and other colleges by taking courses via computer and satellite dish. The other departments cited the downtown location and better accessibility by the public as part of the reason to be in the centre. In a letter to Terrace city coun- cil 1990, the Skeena Senior Citi- zens Housing Society requested a traffic light be installed at the Lakelse Avenue and Apsley Street intersection. According to the society secretary Frances Olsen, the combination of the traffic from the bridge, the Twin River Estates, the restaurants on the eastern section of Lakelse Avenue, and the Legion, curling rink and Riverside Park could causé major congestions problems in the future. Council referred the matter to the Planning and Public Works Committee. ‘The Muks-Kum-Ol Housing Society officially opened their new 26- unit housing complex on Pear Street this week one year ago. The ceremonial raising of four totem poles on site along with traditional singing, dancing, _ more than 500 people. Included . among the spectators were repre-- sentatives from the city, provin- cial and federal governments as well as chiefs and elders from tribes throughout the northwest. The totem poles were carved by Kitselas carvers Stan Bevan and Ken McNeill and symbolize the four major clans of the region, the wolf, raven, eagle and killer whale. The family-oriented hous- ing consists of 13 duplexes and is occupied by native families from the area. n this week in 1989 a QO public meeting was held by concerned residents to object to a rumoured proposal to move the Terrace Correctional Centre to a 32-acre site on the bench. Smoke and noise from the centre’s firewood operation as well as security risks were the basis of the objections, and the group resolved to solicit the support of the entire community to oppose any form of correction- al institution in any residential area of the greater Terrace area. As one property owner pointed out, "It could be your neighbour- hood", Two tourist information bro- chures issued by the B.C. govern- ment in the summer of 1989 did not show the location of Terrace on condensed maps they featured. - A pamphlet on B.C. parks printed by the Ministry of Environment gave the location of Lakelse Lake as being 25 kilometres south of Terrace and 40 kilometres north of Kitimat. However, neither community appeared on the map. The brochure was displayed at every Tourist Information Centre in B.C. The second omission occurred in the Salt Water Fish- ing Guide, which is printed by the B.C. Ministry of Tourism. The Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce was not amused. Terrace city council asked Parks and Recreation to compile a permanent washroom facilities "priority list” to be used in the next round of budget talks. Sites on the priority list would include Ferry Island and Christie Park. caused the fishing guide industry in Terrace to lose much of its clientele. According to guides, the return was one of the worst in the past 25 years and some called their European clients to cancel bookings. The guides maintained that the commercial gillnet fish- ery at the mouth of the Skeena was to blame for the diminishing numbers of steelhead. n a 1988 whirlwind tour O of the area, Federal Fisheries Minister Tom Siddon showered Prince Rupert with $190,000 from the Small Craft Harbours Revitalization Program for work at Dodge Cove and Rushbrook floats. He also announced the same program would provide up to $1,000,000 for work at the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine’s MK Bay Marina in Kitimat. Terrace was promised an advisory body to represent sport fishing interests in the Skeena River watershed. Both the fill in front of the arena and the soccer fields at Christy Park were vandalized by vehicles during this week in 1988. The Terrace Public Library and the Northwest Community Col- lege Learning Resource Centre both went high-tech three years ago this week. The facilities both switched to user-friendly .com-... puter catalogues: from the cum- bersome and inadequate wooden drawers of index cards. Librarian Ed Currel said that public opinion of the new method was positive and most thought it "great" and "Fun", The record for one-day rainfall that had stood for 16 years was broken this week in 1987 with 100 millimetres in 24 hours. Roads heading east and south were closed due to the hazard. Fund raising by the Performing Arts Shell Society to build a bandshell in George Little Mem- | orial Park was assisted by dona- tions from the Terrace Centennial Lions, proceeds from a Terrace Musicians Association dance and the sale of "Brick Shares".
