~ Snow removal can be a dif- ficult problem for seniors and handicapped persons and Ter- race city council’s Public Works Commiitee is going to take an- other look to see if something can be. done. The main problem from the city’s point of view is that even if these residents have someone to. clear their driveways, the city can block them off in a matter of seconds with a snowplow. * The initiative to study the problem came from the City of Prince George Special Needs Advisory Committee, who have written to several B.C. com- munities in search of a solution ~~ but it appears that Terrace will have to find its own solution before council can reply. Ac- cording to Alderman Ruth Hallock, the city has done several studies on this problem in the past but a solution has- never been found or im- plemented. Danny Sheridan sees os the prob- lem as a serious one. We try to City reviews snow | removal procedure trance, encourage seniors to stay in town, says Sheridan, but even if. they’ve made arrangements ‘to. have their driveway cleared, a snowplow will block the en- them to their homes. Bob Cooper has offered one suggestion that could help everyone in town, Borrowing an. idea from a Union of B.C. Municipalities report, Cooper suggested a hydraulic door on the right end of the plow. that would stop the snow from’ sliding off the blade when going - past driveways. He says it’s possible that the door could be: ‘lowered at every driveway in. town, ending forever the curses of residents standing on a. cleared driveway viewing a mountain of snow at the end. According to Cooper, system is relatively inexpensive and easy to use. | The committee will. be exe amining this and any other sug- gestions before making a recom-_ mendation to council. this. effectively confining (am Buy a light. for this tree in honor of a person or group and help support the Child: Develop- ment Centre with their second annual ‘Tree of Lights”.

The board first looked at the proposal last May and subsequently recommended the proposal should be evaluated during the planning process of the Integrated Resource. Management Plan area south of Lakelse: Lake. The proposal, submitted by. the Kitimat Cross-Country Ski Club, called for a network of ski trails suitable for recreation and competition. There was con- siderable opposition to the pro- ject from local trappers who operate trap lines in the same area, but the regional board decided last summer that the two could co-exist with some-design changes and left the decision to the Ministry of Forests. The Ministry of Forests deci- ‘sion was. still pending last month, however, and the board asked administration to. in- vestigate. According to the regional district administrator 7 + Frorahern - MOTOR =|NN= [ieee Bob Marcellin, the ministry ap- pears to be “‘supportive’’ of the proposal, but is still reviewing the issues and concerns obtained during the referral process as well as those coming from a joint meeting between the developers. and trappers on. Nov. 25. Marcellin says there are three reasons for the delay but two of these have already been re- solved. A proposed crossing over Clearwater Creek and a biathlon ‘rifle range have both ‘been deleted from the plan. The rifle range, however, could be ‘ge-evaluated at a future date and temporary permits could be issued for specific events in the — meantime. The third problem — conflict between the developer and local trappers —- could be more dif- ficult to resolve, According to Marcellin, at the November meeting the trappers were con- vinced that the’ development would disturb wildlife in the area, compromise public safety and create a potential for theft.

Marcellin ministry views the development ‘as a. joint venture with the ski.. club and, if it’s approved, the ministry would retain ownership | and responsibility for’ the trail network and the ski.club would assume responsibility for maintenance and track setting. says that the ~ Big Strike Has Arrived” Big Strike Resources Ltd..is pleased to announce the compietion of its | first share issue to the public and Its listing on the Vancouver Stock Ex- charige.
