Tribal fanfare opens new housing complex TERRACE — The ceremonial raising of four totem poles capped the latest triumph of the Muks- Kum-O1! Housing Society Saturday. Their new 26-unit housing com- plex on Pear St. was officially opened with traditional singing, dancing, drumming, celebrating and feasting before more than 500 people. Chiefs, elders and representatives from tribes throughout the North- west and officials from the city of Terrace, the province and the federal government attended the celebration. The totem poles, carved by Ken McNeill and Stan- ley. Bevan and symbolizing the '. ; four major clans of the region — ‘wolf, raven, eagle and killer whale — now stand inside the entrance . ‘to the complex. The housing itself is 13 duplexes in three-, four- and five-bedroom floor plans. The society expects | that fully occupied it will house ‘about 120 people, all of them ‘native families from the area..The ’ duplexes were built on a well-treed '3.24-acre site, with the entire complex enclosed by a six-foot -horizontal-planked fence. A Muks- -Kum-Ol representative noted that. ‘the site is zoned for up to 260 ‘people, but said the society -decided .on a low-density design: *"., there will be a large number of “children residing in the project and children need green space to run ‘and trees to climb." It is a family-oriented complex, and Muks-Kum-Ol intends to set up a society-run on-site daycare for the people living there. If that intention is fulfilled, it will be the first native-owned and -operated daycare in B.C. Space for the daycare was allocated in the ori- ginal layout of the project. Muks-Kum-Ol was founded in 1985 to provide decent and affordable housing for people of native ancestry living in the Ter-. race areca. With the complction of the Pear St. complex the society is now the largest landlord in the city, controlling 88 housing units that accommodate nearly 400. people. Its biggest previous project was Ghet Muks-Kum-Ol, a reno- vated 22-unit apartment complex on Tetrault St. During the past five years they have purchased and renovated 40 single family houses in Terrace, Financing for all projects was “secured through the Canada Mort- gage and Housing Social Housing Program.

Parsons, his eight-year-old brother and a few friends were playing in brush south of Orde ~ Road where it intersects with. Johns Road at about 3 p.m. on March 24 when they ventured out onto the ice of a large pond in the area. The one-inch ice broke and Joey and his brother fell into the water. The older brother was res- cued but it was 40 minutes before rescuers found the body of Joey Parsons. He was rushed to Mills Memorial Hospital by ambulance but was pronounced dead 24; hours later. In a letter addressed to Terrace city council the following Monday, North Sparks resident Ben Webber described the pom, which fs located on property owned by Samson’s Poultry Farm, as a man-made hazard. According to Webber the pond had been created several years earlier when Sam- son’s owner, Stan Kinkead, dammed Heek Creek. He said the hazard should have been eli- minated.in 1986, Kinkead, however, met with the Planning and Public Works Com- mittee a few weeks later and sug- gested the delay in filling the pond was Webber’s fault because Web- ber had failed to provide Kinkead with written permission to enter his property, access to which was necessary to coraplete the work. © Dear Member: 635-2577: NOTICE TO SOCIAL CREDIT MEMBERSHIP OF SKEENA SOCIAL CREDIT CONSTITUENCY ASSOCIATION NOMINATION MEETING TAKE NOTICE that a nomination meeting will be held at 8:30 p.m. on Friday, the 28th day of September, 1990 at the following address: ELKS HALL, 2822 Tet- rault Street, Terrace, B.C. for the purpose of electing a ’ candidate to represent the British Columbia Social Credit Party for the Constituency of Skeena in the up- coming Provincial election.
