Youth Centre

asks city for funding assistance

TERRACE — The city’s Rec- - reation and Community Services - Committee will be taking a look

at a request from the Terrace Youth Society for financial / assistance. According to Ella .Goodlad, chairperson for the

society’s fund raising commit- tee, the request is necessary because they have been inform- ed by the provincial government that any funding for the project will not be available until 1990.

According to Goodlad, the - Terrace Youth Centre has been

open since March 4 of this year “

and the society’s 26 member/ volunteers have worked hard to establish a recreational facility to help youth realize their poten- tial and develop their own per- sonal strengths. And the response by local youth, she says, has been tremendous. ‘'There have been as many as 30 youths using the center on a busy evening.”’ .

But due to limited human and financial resources, the. center has been limited to opening only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7 to 10 p.m. ‘“‘The Terrace Youth Society is very pleased with its efforts and results achieved to date, but this is only the beginning. Our objec- tive is to continuously strive to develop programs and activities to better’ meet the youths’ ‘ needs,” says Goodlad.

‘rose above 11.5 percent again,

meaning we’re back to the old system requiring ten weeks of work in order to qualify for benefits. Acting assistant manager at the Terrace Employ- ment Centre, Gail Gourie, said the new system was in effect for four weeks, until September 18.

“Anyone who filed during that time and was told they didn’t have enough weeks. to qualify will be getting a notice.

Witness aids police in arrest of vandal

_ TERRACE — Terrace RCMP are crediting a local citizen for supplying information that enabled them to arrest a.20-year- old male driver from Terrace who jis accused of damaging the Christy Park soccer fields by driving over them with a vehicle.

The incident occurred about 6:30 a.m. Sept. 25, The man has been charged with ‘committing mischief in relation to public property, impaired driving, driv- ing without vehicle insurance and operating an unlicensed vehicle. He will appear in Ter- race provincial court to answer the charges Oct. 28.

A blown tire has been iden- tified by Terrace RCMP as the cause of a motor vehicle acci- dent near Big Oliver Creek on

‘ Highway 16 Sept. 22. A 1981 ‘Chevette driven by a 23-year-old

Stewart man left the road and rolled over. Damage to the car is estimated at $4,000, but the driver escaped without injuries.

the RCMP have accumulated a

large collection of bicycles they’ve recovered that were reported as lost or stolen. They are requesting anyone who has filed such a report to check with

the detachment and claim their

bikes.

must fulfill a number of re-

quirements, including more than

ten weeks of work in some job

categories, in order to qualify.

When the area has a higher rate .

of unemployment, all are re-

. quired-to have a basic ten weeks. ©

_ Looking at employment sta- tistics over the years, it appears the upswing in the local economy, bringing Terrace under the 11.5 rate and into the variable weeks system, was sim- ply part of the cyclical nature of work in the area. In past sum- mers, unemplyment dipped to 11.7 percent (July, 1987), 11.6

(1986), and 12.8 (1985), while

January unemployment for those years were 15.3 , 14.0, and 16.4 percent.

In 1988, unemployment rates

‘in Terrace have ranged from a

high of 12.8 percent in January to 10 percent in June. The cut- off number of 11.5 percent has remained the same since 1971, when a revision to the Unem- ployment Insurance Act brought in the variable entrance require- ment.

“It was the first time in years that we had under 11.5 percent employment,” Gourlie . said.
