A6 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, June 22, 1994 Arcade effort faces opposition TRYING TO OPEN a new fam- ily amusement centre in Terrace hasn’t been all fun and games. Bill Boreham is planning on opening a family fun centre with children’s rides and games, video games and pooltables at 4613 Lakelse sometime this wesk. But almest all of the neighbour- ing businesses are opposed to Boreham’s business. “These stores are afraid that this will turn into a pool hall,” said Boreham. ‘Their point of view is that this is the old part of . Terrace and they want family values upheld in it —so do I.” Because the centre will be closed by 10 p.m, Boreham said he is not appealing to the bar crowd, “My business will cater to the family,’’ be said. ‘*T want people to be able to come in and play a game of pool or a video game without worrying about drugs and swearing.” While the 4600 block mer- chants did not comment, they did send a letter to the city signed by 16 businesses expressing their Concems. In the letter, the businesses said they were “‘in strong opposition to anather family recreation busi- ness in the area,”’ referring to Danny’s Pool Hall on Kalum St. between Lakelse and Greig that Chamber BARB KERR was named first vice president and Sharalyn Pal- agian second vice president of the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce’s annual general meeting last week.

Many of the merchants, reads the = letter, have = already ‘experienced the grief and anxiety of such a business’? that brought to their area ‘vulgar lan- guage, loitering, littering, theft, breaking and entering, and the consumption of drugs and al- cohol.’” Although the city understands the concerns of the merchants, said city director of licensing and permits Bob Lafleur, Boreham will get a business licence when he applies, “7 can sympathize with the worties of the businesses, but we don’t have authority to withhold a business licence,”’ said Lafleur. . *T think Bill Boreham is being unjusily criticized before he has a chance to prove himself.” He thinks some of the prablems associated with Danny’s will not plague Boreham’s business. “The biggest problem. with Danny’s was that it had a back exit to the alley behind,” said Lafleur. ‘“This business has only one ffont entrance from Lakeise.’’ While city council could amend bylaw 401 to allow the city to restrict where future pool -halls and arcades move in, Lafleur said, it would nol apply to Boreham’s business. executive to be sworn in ning Equipment and Joanne Thomson from CIAO Art.
