Terrace council and administration were a little gun- shy after an illegally-shot Ker- mode bear that had been donated to the city got everyone into hot water. The city adminis- trator was under fire for picking the donation in the first place. The two were at odds because they both wanted to stuff and donated their labor. And city aldermen found themselves at the center of the fray with no easy answers. So council adopted a new policy a year ago this week. From that moment in history to eternity, administration was to refer all gifts to council: who would accept, decline, or. set specific conditions on the giving of the favor or gift. ‘‘It’s sort of like closing the barn door after the horse has gone,”’ alderman Danny Sheridan observed at the time. Perhaps he meant, ‘“‘After - the bear has come in.” MAYOR JACK TALSTRA took ashot at another problem a ‘little more than a year ago this week. He was concerned about what. was happening: to some items that had been sent to com-. . -mittee. They seemed to be dis- appearing. Talstra’s solution was to appoint alderman Darryl. Laurent to the head of a new committee called the Policies and Priorities subcommittee and it produced an interesting result. Two items suddenly appeared in _ the minutes of a Community '- and Recreation Services Com-. mittee meeting. The first was a. _motion that the committee ex- plore the possibility of up-. grading ‘Ferry Island that was made in June 1987, and.the sec- — ond, which: originated from the city’s. 1987 suggestion contest, involved an idea for an air-to-air heat exchanger system in the swimming pool’s heating _ system. THEKITSUMKALUM SEW- _AGE CONNECTION was in the Young artist — 10 percent are with non-profit employers. . SFU has offered co-op pro- grams in the sciences for over a decade, but the Arts co-op pro- gram is only in its second year. - The program started with 11 stu- “dents and. has grown by leaps and bounds ever since to over 50 students representing most arts departments. a. Dr. Nick Petryszak, one of two Faculty of Arts co-op co- ordinators, points out’ that historically, the Faculty of Arts “was a harbor of. creativity where ideas could develop ir- respective of the outside demands of the work world. The These five members of the Caledonia Senior Secondary School Science Club competed in the UBC Physics Olym- pics in Vancouver last year.

The mayor and Kitsumkalum chief councillor Cliff Bolton each signed the historic agreement . that opened some city services to the Kitsumkalum people and, it was hoped, would be the key to further development east of town. The entire $600,000 cost for the sewage extension line to the reserve was paid by the Kit- sumkalum Band Council and the Ministry of Indian and Northern Affairs. IN OTHER COUNCIL NEWS a year ago this week, the city hall renovation project was moving ahead with $90,000 from a 1972 General Reserve Fund and another $20,000 in- cluded in the 1989 budget, coun- cil was reviewing the “‘image’’ of the city’s ‘‘Riverboat’’ float, and a long-standing invitation to regional district directors Gordon Robinson and Les Wat- mough to attend city Communi- ty and Recreation Services meet- ings was re-extended... even though the invitation had ap- parently never attracted a direc- . tor before. _AND ELSEWHERE IN THE COMMUNITY Miss Terrace candidates were starting down the long road to the 1989 pageant, the Multicultural continued from page B14 Faculty of Arts is appreciative of ‘the need to balance the teaching of skills appropriate to a career with the creativity fostered in the Faculty of Arts.’’ The. Faculty of Arts co-op is gearing up for the summer semester, which starts in May. They hope. to place a record number of students in co-op jobs throughout British Colum- bia. Coordinators welcome op- portunities for the students to go outside the Lower Mainland. Prospective employers who want -to know more about the pro- gram can contact coordinators ‘Horne or Petryszak at 291-38 or 291-3041. ; -, Society was busy with their workshop, “‘Under Your Neigh- bor’s Skin: Building Cultural Bridges’, and the Riverboat Days Committee was beginning to put their annual program together — with a plea for par- ticipation. ACCIDENT PREVENTION was the goal of Alex Houlden from the Northwest Loggers’ _ Association. ‘“The only logical solution is a new overpass to the west of the present one,’’ he wrote in a letter to the Terrace Review. “‘Any one of a dozen mechanical failures can create a disaster.’? There’s no value at all, he pointed out, in even con- sidering using one of the existing level crossings in the west end of town as a temporary measure. Kenney is unsuitable because of the amount of traffic already us- ing the intersection, and at Frank St., there isn’t enough room between the railroad and the highway for a truck to stop if a train is coming. IN THE BUSINESS WORLD a year ago this week a number of events and trends were unfold- ing. After a slow start in January, the building trades were excited. If February was any kind of an indication, 1989 could be a near-record year. Repap announced a manage- ment change at their Skeena Sawmills mill — Rand Men- hinick had taken over from Jim Davis, who had moved to Cana- dian Forest Products in Van- couver. Asitka Resource Corp. announced they would invest $300 million in a new pulp mill at an undisclosed Northwest location. The province said the Terrace Access Centre would be open in a month and it would improve service to everyone. And that included business and private residents. FROM HIS CHAIR AT CITY HALL, alderman Danny Sheridan told all local businesses that the Northern B.C. Winter Games were worth millions. The Games were coming to Terrace in February 1991, and according to Sheridan, who had just re- turned from the Prince Rupert show, we may be able to expect a return of close to $3 million on an investment of only about $200,000 (volunteer labor not in- cluded). This may or may not have had anything to do with council’s voicing ‘‘no objec- tion”? to an application by the Terrace Hotel to extend their bar hours. The final say on granting the application, though, was the responsibility of the Liquor Control Branch. “NORTHERN UNIVERSI- TY DECISION EXPECTED MONDAY!” That turned out to be an empty promise a year ago this week; but it came from a ‘reliable’ source. We were told _ by Ministry of Advanced Educa- - tion public relations spokesman Michelle Poirier that Stan Hagen’s decision would be an- nounced, tied to Finance Minister Mel Couvelier’s budget to be presented March 30, There were a few hints, though. In one letter addressed to the Interior University Society, Hagen stated that full university degrees would be offered in ‘‘several’’ B.C. communities. But it was a ‘few months before we learned the names of those ‘‘several’’ communities. And Prince George wasn’t one of them. STEROID USE EXPECTED HERE is a story from a year ago this week that leads us into sports. Not in a way, perhaps, that some people would like but as was reported then, ‘“There is enough evidence to say it exists.”” The RCMP said there. was a definite suspicion of steroid use and local athlete took that one step further and stated — categorically that steroids are being used. BUT ON THE BRIGHTER | SIDE OF SPORTS there was all ‘kinds of good news to write about. The Terrace Inland Ken- worth bantams : defeated the Prince George ‘B’ bantams in three straight games. In novice hockey, the gold and silver medals both went to Kitimat ina Prince Rupert tournament but two Terrace teams battled in a crowd pleasing ‘‘shootout’’ bat- tle, with the Wilkinson Canons: coming out as the winner. Terrace curlers took the ‘A’ and ‘B’ events in the Prince | Rupert ladies’ bonspiel. The Linda ‘Movold rink ‘topped the ‘A’ event and Kim MacDougal! ° won the ‘B’ event. The ‘C’ and -"E—)’ events both went to Prince Rupert teams. And finaliy, in ~ basketball it was all over for. Michelle Hendry and her Simon. Fraser University squad. They were eliminated in two straight games in the best-of-three district finals by Western Washington. Still, Hendry had the most explosive season ever by a rookie and the future looked bright. THE WEATHER a year ago this week was starting to warm up a little but it snowed... every day of the week.
