24 Terrace Review — Wednesday, January 8, 1992

ONE YEAR AGO

-THIS WEEK... |

Alderman Danny Sheridan, tour- .
ism and economic development
officer Peter Monteith and real

‘estate appraiser David Lane were

appointed as a working committee
to. organize a housing forum in
Terrace, expected. to be held in
February or March. The forum

_ would be expected to. provide a
_ . focus. for a local housing commis- .
sion. According to Monteith the

housing . shortage anda strong
demand for social housing in Ter-
race brought about the need for a
commission. Monteith stated that.
developments such as the Willows
always have waiting lists and the
Muks-Kum-O! Housing Society
had been filling native housing as
soon as it was developed.
‘Meanwhile, a public hearing was

‘set for the following week to hear
public views on a proposed. apart-

ment complex on the east side of

Eby, Street, between Davis and
' Walsh Avenues, At issue was
property owner Ray Lovstad’s

wish to rezone from Two Family
Residential (R2) to Multi-Family
Dwelling Residential (R3), as well

_as fecommendations from the
‘city’s. Planning Department to

| Looking back...

amend the R3 and Central Com-—

mercial (C1) zones to allow the
construction of more than one
multi-family dwelling per lot. The
Pianning Department cited traffic,
land use, the Official Community
Plan, the availability of R3 land
and the shortage of rental units as

factors in their decision. Council,

however, had received a petition
the previous month, signed by 100
residents opposed to the idea. -

Seniors Advisory Commission
member James MacKay had sent a
letter to city council a few weeks
earlier expressing concem over
open drainage ditches in the city.

MacKay said the ditches contrib-

uted to a lack of street-side
parking and when filled presented
a hazard to children.

for injury or. Joss of life due to a

fire. What did causé minor cortcern
for the fire department was the age
of the buildings,. However, accord-
ing to Halvorson, a fire plan was
in place for the 4600 block. Also,
‘the tenants and owners were aware
of the age of the buildings they
occupy and had taken. precautions
with updated. wiring, renovations

and. adequate emergency ‘exits,

lighting and fire extinguishers.
Milis Memorial Hospital in Ter-
race released a study showing a

. | 442 percent increase in. the use of

the emergency department over the
previous three years. The increase
was said to be due to the waiving
of the $10 emergency room user
fee in 1986,

Terrace school children were
recipients of an extended Christ-

mas holiday after parents were.

advised by School District 88 not
to send the kids to school. Every
school building in the district was

- behind picket lines, and both the

Terrace and District Teachers
Association and the school board
expected the strike to be a lengthy

one. due to. the number and d scope °t0

of items on which they disagreed.

The strike was affecting 300

teachers, more than 100 CUPE
employees and about 5,300 stu-
dents.

The board of trustees of Mills
Memorial Hospital decided to
investigate the acquisition of a $1
million’ dollar piece. of diagnostic

equipment, despite. being told by
the Ministry of. Health that they .

were on their own as far as fund-

ing was concerned. Norm Carelius, .
‘the hospital administrator, said the |

board decision to investigate buy-
ing a CT scanner came as a result
of lobbying by medical staff from
every hospital in the northwest.

According to Carelius, a Ministry

_Of Health representative. had said

the population. in this region did
not justify the purchase of a CT
scanner. However, Carelius also
said the Dr. R.E.M. Lee Hospital
Foundation had expressed willing-
ness to raise a portion of the capi-

tal cost under the assumption that

the ministry would provide the
balance. In addition to the initial
investment the scanner would be
staffed by two trained technicians
and would cost $300,000 annually

‘operate. Carelius said doctors
and hospital staff were keeping an
informal tally of the number of
patients who travelled to other
areas for the diagnostic service to
determine the level of demand ‘for
the CT scanner in this area.

concern in the committee’s report
were the fact that the application
was not in keeping with the Offi-

cial Community Plan, the assessed _

value of mobile home parks is
significantly below average for a
residential sub-division, the neigh-
bourhood expressed strong opposi-
tion, the development would create
traffic congestion in the area and
drainage problems would require

extensive work to correct. Accord-

ing to the committee there was
potential for better use of the Prop:
erty.
