for trailer Roger ‘Sheppard has suc- ceeded in part of his bid to _develop a mobile home park in Thornhill. Sheppard was turned down by the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District on two earlier proposals to establish the development in the vicinity of - Krumm ‘Road and Hwy. 37. because his plan didn’t meet the requirements of the regional district’s long range plans for Thornhill. | Sheppard’s latest application for rezoning is for a four-phase, -100-site development which would have access from the Em- pire/Paquette intersection.

The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George. recently made a submis- sion to the Cancer - Control Agency of B.C, outlining a pro- posal for the clinic. Although one of the criteria for the establishment of a clinic is a population of at least 500,000, the Prince George sub- mission points out that there is a ‘widely dispersed population, of more than 300,000 people in the northern two-thirds of the prov- ince who presently have to pay to travel long distances for treat- ment in the Lower Mainland. And although Miller supports this argument, he adds, “‘It is just as costly, and probably more difficult for people on the © north coast to get to. Prince - George as it is for them to get to Vancouver.’ He also points out - that acancer clinic is only one of several basic medical services that are lacking in many north. erm communities and says the cost of transportation for medical reasons, either to Van-.

The land is presently unsurveyed crown land zoned Two Family Residential, meaning it would require. rezoning -to Mobile Home Park before any develop- ment could take place. After reviewing the applica- tion and recommendations from. “the Thornhill Advisory Planning Commission, the regional board gave first reading to a rezoning bylaw for phases I and IA, about one half of the proposal, : and will proceed to a public hearing. on the condition that Sheppard provides better technical information on design layout- and definitions of the boundaries of the portion of the park ‘under consideration, The balance ‘of the development could then be considered at a later date. _ If developed, Sheppard says, ‘the mobile home park will pro- vide ‘‘‘continuity” development in Thornhill and will be attractive to the com- munity. He says the project will include occasional buffer zones ‘and fencing to provide privacy, ~ larger~than-average trailer pads ‘and. will include a caretaker residence plus central play areas for children. According to a 1987: regional district study, most existing mobile home parks are full, says Sheppard, . and this. type of development is required in the area. He adds that the park will ; bring increased revenue to the- - community and provide ‘space for expansion which will be needed with future growth: and: development i in the Terrace area. | Insured medical travel _ ‘cost proposal supported Prince.

Plan. “This type of coverage would not significantly impact .on ‘premius costs, and safeguards can be built into the system to prevent abuse,’? wrote Miller. The regional district board agrees with Miller and will be in- cluding this point in its letter of ' support for. the Prince George Clinic. *— to future . Rotary draw winner | The final episode of the Terrace Rotary Club auction was the presentation by club vice-president Phil Hartl of two return tickets to Vancouver via AirBC to draw winner Byron Heighington. The draw took place at a recent Rotary meeting, with anyone who sic- © _ cessfully bid on auction items being eligible. Hartl, who was chairman of the auction project Nov. 28 and 29, said the club grossed L $27,000 through the- event this year. He ex- generated. pects about $23,500 to be left after expenses, 10 percent more than the 1987 auction . Hartl said the club is pleased with the com- . munity. response to this year’s auction, with the value of donated items being higher than _ any previous year.
