Abortion a council topic

by geith Aiford The abortion debate

came home to Terrace city hall at its first meeting in 1986.

Mr. and Mrs. Mark Ruelle sent council a letter charging "in effect every taxpayer in Terrace is unwittingly paying for abortion counselling, a situation which many will find to be in direct conflict with their social conscience and moral values."

The Ruelle's wrote "the Terrace Women's Resource Centre, which receives a substantial subsidy from the District on the rental of its premises, carries out abortion counselling and referrals." They continued by stating a newspaper advertisement lists abortion counselling under the same telephone number as the Women's Centre.

The Ruelle's suggested action was "all financial subsidy be withdrawn from the Women's Cen- tre so long as it continues to support or participate in abortion counselling and referrals."

A lde rman George Clark said the subsidy was not really a budget item since the Women's Centre only pays $1 per year to occupy the city; owned house it uses and noted that out of its own funds the Centre had undertaken major reno- vations to the structure. He also wondered if there might not be some legal ramifications for the city under the lease agreement the munici- pality has with the Cen- tre if the Ruelle's suggestion was followed.

Alderman Bob Cooper said he had not seen the adver t i sements , but wondered " i f there might not be some misunderstanding" concerning them and proposed perhaps the Wom- en's Centre was counselling against abortion. Other aldermen present (both Mo Takhar and Ruth Hal!ock were absent) assured Cooper he mi sunde r s tood the Women's Centre counselling.

Mayor Jack Talstra said, "I don't presume we're going to cancel the lease over this .matter."

Council followed Tal- stra's suggestion that the matter be sent to Coun- cil's ~ newest committee the mayor proposed, the Social Planning and Cul- tural Services Committee chaired by Fred Mac- Donald with Hallock and Takhar for members.

MacDonald wanted the question to also go to the finance committee, but council decided his committee could recommend any financial changes it thought appropriate for every alderman to vote on.

Terrace almost had its own lottery as a result of the Jan. 13 council meeting.

A l d e r m a n George Clark presented a mo- tion proposing an annual or semi-annual lottery to raise money for one designated community project per year.

Clark said such a lot- t e ry would insure all funds would stay witfiin town and added a tele-

approves expansion

T I

by Michael Kelly TERRACE -- A study which has been an- ticipated with a certain degree of dread among the faculty and students of the Northwest Com- munity College (NWCC) academic division was adopted unanimously by the college board at its Jan. 11 meeting.

The final report of the "Task Force on the Pro- visions of Academic Ser- vices in the Northwestern Region of B.C." put forward an analysis of the current overall performance of the NWCC academic program and recommendations for its future. •• The recommen- dation endorsed by the board, termed "Option Y' in the report, will leave the Terrace program virtually intact, establish a first-year arts and sciences program for the Prince Rupert cam- pus, and provide a d is tance educa t ion teleconferencing system for d i s t r ibu t ion of

academic courses to the remainder of the college region.

College president Dr. Pal George called the proposal "a very major enhancement and a very • major expansion of the academic divis ion. . . there is a real potential to double enrolment in the academic program."

George Stanley, president of the Academic Workers' Union, seemed pleasantly surprised by the terms of the proposal. "It 's not bad," he remarked. "There are a lot of positive things here. ' '

Beyond this particular issue, however, relations between the acad¢~ic~

and the col~e~e~ faculty administration remain somewhat less than cor- dial. At the commence- ment of the meeting Stanley requested permission to comment on the Task Force report after its reading. The

B.C. Old Age Pensioners Orpalmt ion

TERRACE -- The first monthly general meeting of the B.C. Old Age Pensioners Organization (BCOAPO) Branch 73, (Terrace), for 1986 took place on Thursday, Jan. 9 at the Happy Gang Centre, Kalurn Street, starting at 2 p.m.

Following the opening ceremony, all members present observed a one minute si lence in memory of three long- standing members - - Emil Haughland, Grace Mantel and Cecil Lever - - who had passed on since the last meeting.

Af t e r the u s u a l reading of the minutes, President Lou Gair called on Muriel O'Boyle to install the new Officers; - - Fran Lindst rom, Secre ta ry ; G e r t r u d e Grundmann, First Vice- President; Walter Me-

Play it safe Terrace RCMP ask

local residents not to make it easy for the thief. They recommend people: ® Close the windows, lock the doors, and pocket the key of motor vehicles. • Put valuables in the trunk and credit cards in your wallet. • Secure tape decks and radios and keep a record of their serial numbers. • Finding keys identified with name and address is a thief's delight. • Park in well lighted areas. • Report tampering and other suspicious activity to the police. • You might consider an anti-theft alarm.

The key to car theft is in your hands - - it starts or stops both your car and the car thief, police said.

RCMP add that if your car is stolen: • Notify the police immediately. • It helps the police if you give a good description of your car, in- c lud ing the l icence number.

If you would like more information on this or any other law enforce- ment topic, call your local police detachment.

ConneU and Pearl Nor- mandy -- two year Directors and Joe Hipp Di rec to r one year . Walter McConnell was absent - - as was Gladys Oliver who is now Past President.

The President then spoke of the excellent Carol-Sing that was put on for senior citizens at the centre by 75 students of E.T. Kenney Primary School. It was a great show and was very much enjoyed and appreciated by those members present.

Participants were then " i n t r o d u c e d t o " a beautiful sweater knitted by Jack Kurolok. It will be the first prize of a raffle to be drawn, ten- tatively, at the Valentine Supper which is to be held, n a t u r a l l y , in February, for members only. The date and time is to be announced shortly.

The Senior Citizens' counsellor then wished everyone the Happiest New Year ever and said that plans for a special member-only trip to Ex- po are still on-going. The hold-up at present is the high cost of hotel accom- modation. There is also the strong possibility of a coach round-trip from Terrace to Expo and back. Fuller details are p romised for the February meeting.

The Treasurer, Chris Troelstra, then gave his report during which he brought to mind the fact that 1986 dues are now payable. If you have not paid your $3.00, please contact Fran Lindstrom at your earliest convenience.

This is more like a typical Terrace winter, according to Environ- ment Canada's George Blakey at the local weather office.

Blakey said that the community had been through a relatively dry spell. This past week, however, was not dry.

Blakey said 19cm of wet snow fell on the city Friday, Jan. 10, and it is expected the temperatures are going to remain well above the -6 to -8 °C which is normal for this time of year.

The situation has caused concern for many local residents. There have been many reports Qf basement flooding.

Ralph Keen, Terrace public works engineer, said the city had crews and eqoipment on the road trying to clear up the drainage problems.

Keen said, "When we get a rainfall with heavy wet snow and a freezing- thawing cycle, the drains and culverts freeze up. The water won't go through and consequent, ly backs up."

Keen said work crews were using backhoes and a steam machine to thaw pipes to get the water running again.

"We've been working overtime," said Keen, "and trying our best to keep ahead of it as much as possible."

Keen said if people have problems they should give their address and describe the situation to the district's switchboard.

Terrace resident wins poetry compet=t=on b~, Sherry. Half.yard Terrace resident Jayne

Green was very surprised after recently hearing she had won the Vancouver Sun's leisure's annual poetry competition.

"I didn't think I was good enough," Green said upon~ receiving the news.

Her poem Christmas Eve was one of over 500

entries submitted to the Vancouver Sun.

Green received a copy of the book Scottish Symphony with photo- graphs by Michael Ruetz and an introduction by David Attenborough.

Green is a mother of two and a teacher/librar- ian at Clarence Michiel Elementary School.

She gives credit to her husband who has sup- ported her work and en- couraged her to enter the Sun's contest.

Green, who is originally from England, has liv- ed in Terrace the past 12 years.

Her future plans are to continue writing with hopes of publishing a book.

Jean Martin Yes, I am, I guess.• I'm worrying some as I am not working but I'm hoping 1986 will be better than 1985. I am one of those people who a lways thinks things will im- prove later on. And l believe Expo 86 will help the economy and perk B.C. up a little.

Minimum tax proposed

by .llm Fulton HIP for Skeena

During the election debate of party leaders, Ed Broadbent told a national television audience that Canada's tax system is unfair.

A system that permits wealthy Canadians to avoid shouldering their share of the tax burden must be changed. He pointed out that in 1983, 8,000 people with in- comes over $50,000 paid no income tax.

Millions of Canadians pay their share of taxes - - why should a wealthy few be able to get away with not paying even one cent?

Strange as it may seem, Brian Mulroney agreed. The Conser- vative leader said if he formed the government the rich would pay and, in his words, they would "pay handsomely".

Since the election, my New Democrat colleagues and I have re- mained faithful to our promise to fight for tax fairness. Across the country we have spoken up for tax fairness and tax reform.

As a result of a cam- paign we initiated to mail out over one million letters throughout Canada, the prime minister's office has publ ic ly acknowledged that it has received 1,000 pieces of mail per day in the past couple of weeks from Canadians urging tax reform.

By maintaining our pressure on the government, we have finally seen Brian Mulroney and the Conservatives announce something we have been fighting for - - a minimum tax on the

rich. Although the propos-

al, in my opinion, is flawed and will do little to simplify an extremely complex tax system, it is nonetheless a positive first step on the part of the government.

After the finance minister made the announce- ment in the House of Commons, Broadbent said, "A good beginning has been initiated here today.

"On behalf of my colleagues in the House of Commons and New Democrats all across the country I want to say that we will continue with our mandate to fight for tax reform from now until the minister's next budget," Broadbent said.

He added, "We want tile minister, in that budget, to deliver total tax reform on personal income tax and cor- porate tax. We will be watching."

The fight for tax fairness will be heating up in the coming months at both the federal budget and the deadline for filing income tax returns approach.

My colleagues and I will be leading the fight. A commission headed by our f inance crit ic, Nelson Rib (MP for Kamloops-Shuswap) , will be travelling across Canada to talk to and consult with tax experts and ordinary Canadians.

We want your input so we can continue developing very specific propos- als on how to make the system fairer. Then we can fight for tax fairness in parliament, as we were successfully able to do with the minimum tax.

Homberg had written council complaining the city snow plows pushed excess snow onto his driveway. Council noted that happens to every resident of Terrace.

receive the signal has been ordered and it's expected the CBS signal will be available to cablevision customers within 90 days, said Bryan Edwards, president of Skeena Broad- casters.

A specific channel allocation has not yet been determined. Every effort is being made to have CBS included on the VHF dial, Edwards noted. However, it is likely that a CRTC mandate requiring the car- riage of the House of Commons channel on cable systems will mean that the CBS signal could be bumped to the mid- band range. This would mean CBS viewers would require a cable converter or a cableready television set, Edwards said.

The CBS signal (WJBK-TV) will originate from Detroit and be scheduled in an eastern time zone, as is the case with the current ABC (WXYZ) feed.

Accompanying the addition of the CBS signal will be a CRTC approved 53 cent general rate increase. The rate will offset the cost of signal delivery, Edwards explained.

Skeena Broadcasters Ltd. is pleased to Wovide the additional service CBS offers, Edwards said. Cablev is ion customers can expect fu r the r in fo rma t ion regarding a specific start date and channel allocation for CBS in the near future.

honor well-deserved. The centre's highly-

skilled and well-trained team has a difficult and demanding task.

Twenty-four hours a day, year-round, they stand ready to help in operations designed to assist people in trouble and to save lives.

It's a task made more difficult by the size of our Province, its rugged te r ra in and long coas t l ine which sometimes pose special challenges for sailors and pilots.

They do an excellent job and it was gratifying to see them honored for their efforts.

So at this time of the year, it's appropriate to take time to salute all the unsung heroes who help out in time of trouble or disaster.

All of us hope that we'll never have occasion to call upon our police, f i r e f igh te r s , rescue center workers or our health care system.

But it's comforting to know that should we need them, they'll be there with the kind of quick response and dedicated service that they always provide.

As Premier, I 'd like therefore - - on behalf of all British Columbians -- to say a special thanks to all the people involved in providing essential services.

_,_P_ett¢ J to tke Pddtot Conrad unsure about replacement systems

Institute president raises co college e; cern .sucatlonof

To the Editor, Northwest Communi-

ty College 's recent amendment of its statement of philosophy, and the college's public statements in defence of that change, in my opinion, raise some serious concerns about college education both in the northwest region and in the province as a whole.

By deleting the phrase that related quality of in- .struction to student- instructor contact, the college board has moved the college away from its original and defining commitment to classroom-based, live instruction.

Students and teachers have consistently in- dicated that this is the preferable, and in many cases the only, method of successful learning.

This was a fundamental finding of the Socred government's Winegard Commission in the later 1970s - - the commission

held hearings throughout the province and reported that people, particularly those in the interior, were almost unanimous in wanting on-site, live, classroom instruction as opposed to correspondence, electronic, or other forms of distance education.

This is not to say that other forms of delivery should not be used in specific circumstances.

Forms of distance education were in fact possible under northwest 's statement of philosophy. In deleting the reference to student- instructor contact, itap- pears that the college is no longer prepared even to commit itself to live programming as the normal method or the method for most courses.

The college's action is consistent with the trend by the Ministry of Edu- cation to define "quality of education" in narrow-

ly economic terms. The probable conse-

quence is that post-secondary institutions will increasingly offer a pre- tence of education rather than education itself.

Communities in the interior like those in the northwest region stand to suffer the most from such regressive policies, for residents of those communities already have very limited access to post-secondary education.

A college that sets aside live, classroom instruction as its normal delivery method will cease to be a community college in any mean- ingful sense.

The northwest college board should review its decision in light of what is best for the residents of the college region.

The response from other communities to participate in the four- day event was over- whelming. Consequent- ly, Terrace entered a second team of local boys.

The result was an excellent display of good, solid hockey enjoyed by all.

Raffle thanks Beta Omega Chapter

of the Beta Sigma Phi would like to thank all persons supporting their Christmas raffle.

The winners of the prizes were: 1st place, Ken Bradley of Kitimat who won a Christmas table center-piece; 2nd place, Dianne LaRose of Terrace, who won a cross stitch tablecloth; and 3rd place, Mrs. Mary Doell of Terrace, who won an oil change and lube job at Eastend Wes~end Chevron.

But there were a number of people who were never formally thanked for numerous donations for door prizes, raffles and food

"products. I'd like to take this op-

portunity to extend our sincere gratitude to these merchants and associa- tions.

F.W. Woolworth's, Wilkinson's Business Machines, Richard 's Cleaners , Sundance Sports, You're Special, Shan Yan, Video Stop, Northwest Sportsman, Inn of the West, Bert's Deli, Bee's Head Shed.

Mohawk, Ackland's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, R.B. Baker Construc- tion, Ladies' Softball Team, Northern Motor Inn, Video Station, Piz- za Patio, Queensway Trading, Terrace Drugs.

1st Choice Travel, Elker's Auto Supply, In- dependent Industrial Supply, Northern Mag- neto, Terrace Co-op, Auto Marine, Skeena Valley Meats, Wayside Grocery, Donut Factory, Canada Safeway, Over- waitea Foods and J-5 Uplands Store.

Without their support, our hockey team would not have enjoyed such a successful tournament as

we did. I do not want to

overlook you, the public, for your kind words of encouragement throughout the whole affair.

Press coverage was continuous and thor- ough from our own community as well as from outside our area.

A sincere and humble thank you also goes to all the volunteers and parents for without your help, none of this could have been possible.

There is one particular group of individuals that I must directly draw at- tention to, and they were our volunteer first aid at- tendants organized under the direction of Brian Perry of the Thornhill Fire Department.

We were unsuccessful in acquiring help from qualified personnel to cover our tournament from inside our area, and it was through my desperate appeal to Ms. Jean Moore of the emergency room staff at Mills Memorial Hospit- al, that the appropriate medical help came to our assistance.

Thank you all from the~ bottom of my heart.

TERRACE -- The fam- iliar figure of train ticket agent Ted Conrad with his VIA Rail hat will not be seen strolling through Terrace streets after Saturday, Jan. 25; but he is still not certaina good system is in place to replace him.

Conrad's last day at the Terrace station ends at 4:30 p.m. on Thurs- day, Jan. 23.

Two days later he takes VIA Rail to Prince Rupert to begin a new posi t ion as senior counter sales agent there. Prince Rupert will have two agents after that date while Terrace will have none.

Travel agent George Clark said all local travel agencies have VIA Rail ticket stocks now in place.

He said passangers can chose to book their train trip months in advance or wait until just before the train pulls in, providing they allow enough

been told what services the future contractor will be able to provide.

He envisions passen- gers entering the station, having to tag each of their bags themselves and then carrying them to a baggage cart on the south sidewalk of the station.

Each cart, he said, holds between 40 and 50 pieces of luggage, depending upon their various sizes.

Over the holiday period, Conrad said, some trains required the handling of over 100 bags.

He also said, as yet, he has not been informed by VIA Rail of any provision made for lost or damaged bags.

A traveller with such a bag might have to phone VIA Rail 's toll-free number in Winnipeg, or perhaps the western end- of-the-line at Prince Rupert where Conrad will have to search for

missing Terrace luggage. He hopes to hear more

details from the company on how such items will be handled before he leaves so he can pass the information on to the public.

Wilderness meeting Monday The Wilderness Ad-

visory Committee appointed by Environment Minister Austin Pelton will meet in Terrace at the Terrace Hotel on Monday, January 20 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to l0 p.m. to receive input concerning primarily the Khutzeymateen Valley, Gitnadoix, Stikine River and Tatshanini.

The committee is scheduled to make its recommendations to the B.C. Government by February 15, 1986.

time to get from the travel agency to the train station.

However, Conrad still believes VIA Rail has not fully considered some possible problems that may result from remov- ing their own personnel from the Terrace station.

He said CNR workers will open the passenger station about one hour before a train arrives and

close it again after it leaves, but the station will not be as large as it currently is.

Conrad said a large portion of it will be wall- ed off to serve as a locker room for CNR crews,

VIA Rail plans to con- tract out the handling of baggage at the station, but Conrad has not yet

A lot of strange calls bY Lea Harrinllton

You've heard about peop le wi th phone numbers similar to that of a thriving business, haven't you?

There's always some poor individual whose number is o.ne digit either way from a company getting hundreds of daily phone calls. The person suffers constantly from "wrong number" or "errant" calls.

Think about situations that could arise. Suppose a funeral home and a car repair shop had similar numbers.

Suppose a women phoned the wrong one to make a funeral arrange- ment...

" O h my goodness, what a strange way to answer the phone. I've a good mind to call your competitor."

"Look lady, l don't write the blurb. The boss says that's the way I got- ta answer. If you wanna go to our competitor, go ahead. Just remember, he charges twice as much."

"Well, I don't want to pay too much."

"Yeah, well what's wrong with the old wreck."

" G r a c i o u s y o u ' r e crude. The 'old wreck' as you say is dead."

"Lady, if its juice you want to get it started, call

Len 's Pen Macs down at Fifth and Main."

"Young man, it was too much juice that led to this phone call."

"Well, what shape is the body in? Any wrinkles you want straighten- ed out?"

"That would be nice. Actually only the head wrinkles would show."

"Look, ma'am, when we fix up a body we do all the wrinkles. We even replace old parts with new ones. Has it any dents?"

"Not that I've notic- ed."

"How's the bearing." "They never were

much good. W e ' r e childless, you know."

"So what! Look, better bring it down here. I'll put it on the hoist and check it over from top to bottom. I'll even drain the crankcase free of charge."

"Alright. But can't you send_ _ the. .. er... wagon to get him?"

Only a couple weeks before graduating from high school in Smithers, I went on an overnight fishing trip with a couple friends -- something to do before we went our separate ways.

The two guys I had with me were Kirk Linley and Junior Something- orother. Junior was a Rotary ex- change student from Brazil - - his full name was about four feet long and unpronounceable so everyone called him "Junior".

We took Dad's pickup and my canoe to Parrot lake south of Houston -- very near the Swiss Fire of a couple years ago.

We paddled to the far end of the lake where the fishing is best and set up our tent at the edge of the lake. Junior had never done this type of thing before so he was as ex- cited as a little kid upon catching his first rainbow trout.

We had fish for supper as we set- tied into camp late that evening at the end of the long summer day. My tent that had housed three boys a few years before seemed to have shrunk - - the three of us didn't have room to all sleep on our backs.

We squashed and laughed about the silliness of It, but proceeded to go to sleep. After waking up several times because of the cramped con-

ditlons, however, I wiggled out of the tent and went fishing with the sky beginning to hint of the day ahead. The lake had tiny ripples radiating from the corner where the creek came in, and a light mist was rising from the surface - - an occa- sional loon call greeted me as Iset up my fishing gear.

Alone in the canoe I was trolling a lure with the rod held between my legs, and my fly line was trolling out the other side with the rod wedged under the seat.

I ran into difficulty a couple times with a fish on each line, and I lost far more fish than I brought in.

About 6 or 7 a.m. with no signs of life from the tent yet, I went in to start breakfast.

Kirk and Junior woke at the sound of wood splitting for the fire and they s tumb led out shor t l y thereafter.

I told them I'd been up for three hours already and had my limit of trout in the canoe. Neither of them believed me and there was nothing I could say to convince them because I had simply added my catch to those from the night before.

To this day they don't realize they missed out on some of the best fishing I've had anywhere.

Athletes to carry NBCWG flame

TERRACE - - About 2,500 athletes, coaches and managers are expected to show up in Smithers Feb. 7 to 10 to participate in the Nor- thern B.C. Winter Games (NBCWG).

To kick off the "spor- ting spirit" a torch, along the lines of the Olympic flame, will be carried into Terrace.

Flip Cervo, acting secretary for the NBCWG said a "sym- bolic run" is scheduled to take place this weekend.

An athlete will begin the run in Kitima't, the site of the 1985 winter games, and take the torch a mile from town.

A motor vehicle will then transport the athlete along Highway 37 to a destination about a mile outside of Terrace.

A runner from Terrace

Flip Cervo

will then take the torch into town. The group will meet for lunch and a short ceremony.

Another runner from Terrace will take the torch out a mile along Highway 16 toward Hazelton.

The flame will be

transported by motor vehicle to a rite one mile before Hazelton where a runner will be stationed to carry the flame into town.

Another athlete will pick up the torch and carry it a mile toward Smithers.

The same procedure will take place in Smithers with a runner carrying the torch into this year's host community.

Competitors from 100 Mile House to the Yukon border and individuals from Whitehorse, the Yukon and Northwest Territories will be par- ticipating in the winter games at Smithers.

The youngest competitor will be about nine years of age and the oldest possibly 60 or 70 years, Cervo said.

Shirley Hughes is a distinguished author-illustrator of children's books. She won the Kate Greenaway Medal for Illustrators in 1978 and the eleanor Far- jeon A ward for her overall distinguished contribu- tion to children's literature in 1983. Now, through Douglas and Mclntyre, her Nursery Collection has become available in Canada.

The first three books in the series each present a simple concept. Bathwater's Hot depicts opposites; Noisy illustrates a series of d~fferent sounds; When We Went to the Park is a simple counting book. Each concept is presentedthrouah the activities of a fami- iy, little girl, baby brother, parents, grancO'ather, pets and home, so that there is a continuity between the books and a simple relationship withtheir own sur- roundings for the children reading them.

These are very good introductions to the concepts given, and their bright, realistic illustrations and touches of affectionate hurnour, (For example the six runners running followed by the seven dogs chasing) make them as much a delight for the parents sharing them as for the child. The books cost $4.95 each.

Firefighters respond to call

by Dmflele Berquist The Terrace Fire De-

partment responded to a number of calls this past week, reported fire chief Clifford Best.

Fire fighters were call. e d to a chimney fire on Friday, Jan. 3, at the 5100 block on Mills Avenue. There were no damages reported, said Best, and the fire was out b y the time t h e fire department arrived.

A small blaze at the Skeena Hotel was reported on Monday, Jan. 5. The fire chief said it was a windy day and so- meone had discarded a cigarette butt which was probably blown against

the wall where it ignited On Jan. 6 ~ the firq

department was called t( the Terraceview Hospi tal. Best reported it was I false alarm. ' !

A fire on the 450 block on Olson Avenu at a residence caused ap proximately $500 dam age, said Best. An elec triced panel caught fir igniting a bag of do food. The panel had t, be replaced.

Residents to discuss fire protection

On Sunday, Jan. 19, residents of L a k e l s e Lake and surrounding area will gather at 11:30 a.m. in Ole's Place, at the lake, to discuss the possibility of fire protection improvements for the region.

Roger Lamotte, Lak- else Lake resident, said he has "dug up" information on the costs which would have to be absorbed by homeown- ers in the area if fire protection was an acceptable option.

There is no fire protection at all in the Lakelse area at the moment, Lamotte said. As a result, residents pay high insurance costs.

Fire protection would reduce insurance rates for dwellings by ~approximately 40 percent, Lamotte explained.

Local residents will be given an opportunity to voice their opinions at the meeting and be informed of the amount of tax they would have to pay for the introduction

• of fire-fighting services. Depending on the re-

sponse, Lamotte said, the issue will either be dropped or taken to a

referendum later on for a vote of approval.

He said the project would probably not get of f the ground for another year, even if approval were given, as a number of operating details would have to be worked out.

Lamotte said a core group of volunteer firefighters would have to be organized to man the station. He explained that a fire hall, situated near Lakelse Lake, had been built about five years ago.

The station is equip- ped with a pumper truck which was donated b y Alcan.

Audience captured by Michael Kelly

T E R R A C E -- Don Diego's restaurant recently hosted a full house of literate and curious locals who came to hear a northern B.C. author read from a selection of his works.

The introduction was provided by George S t a n l e y , N o r t h w e s t C o m m u n i t y Col lege (NWCC) English instructor, who immediately issued a disclaimer that Brian Fawcett "is not a romantic" and political poet, as advertised by the promotional pos t e r s for th is reading."

The reading which followed justified the disclaimer.

Brian Fawcett's short stories are written in a l inear a n d s t a igh t - forward manner, giving them an easy readability which tends to conceal the wealth of craftsman- ship in their construc- tion.

His readings of three

of these stories were delivered in a direct and unassuming fashion - - an approach which com- plemented his prose style and, if anything, under- scored the frequent har- shness and violence in the storylines.

Fawcett prefaced the first pair of stories by warning t h e audience, "You cannot stand outside the structure of these stores."

Both tales, based on actual events, concerned e n c o u n t e r s be tween bears and humans. The feeling of inevitability and moments of comic relief in the development did nothing to diminish the impact of the end- ings, which proved to be particularly ghastly ex- pe r i ences for bo th species.

His final selection, taken from The Secret Journal o f Alexander MacKenzie, was a lengthy• description of thesocial and economic deterioration of a corn-

munity following the t a k e o v e r o f loca l business and industryby multinational corpora- tions.

This one tended to contradict his disavowal of political writings. However, the politics here are not of election campaigns and ballot boxes, but the politics of real and often nameless forces which influence and sometimes distort human lives on an individual level. During t h e discussion period following the reading he identified Prince George, his boyhood home, as being the community upon which the story was modelled.

W h e n q u e s t i o n e d about the rather dark and violent nature of these stories, Fawcett replied, " I grew up in an atmosphere of violence. To push that aside would be to deny something of the fundamental truth in my writings. I haven't put anything into these

stories that isn't already at large in the world - - and working on you."

Brian Fawcett's northwestern tour was spon- sored jointly by NWCC and the Canada Council.

Sue Springer from the Northernway Fitness Club recently donated gifts to the CFTK Television fund. The money was used to provide needy families in the Terrace area with gifts. A fitness workout was held at Cassio Hall School to raise funds to be donated to CFTK. There were 25 participants In the workout. All the presents were distributed to the needy families by the Salvati0n Army.

His,latest book is The Secret Journal of Alex- ander MacKenzie, published by Talon- books of Vancouver.

Mayor Jack Talstra has kept all the previous council committees for 1986 and added one more.

The addition is the Social Planning and "Cultural Services Com- mittee headed by Fred MacDonald with Ruth Hallock and Mo Takhar as members.

Talstra said with 20 percent or more unem- ployment in Terrace, 500 local families living below the poverty, line and the revived food bank handing out 150 bags per month, the time had come for such a committee.

He added he hopes for industrial development for Terrace, but when it comes the town must be sure it serves some use for the community such as low-cost housing and jobs.

Jackie's Column Osteoporosis:

A preventable disease Have you fed your bones lately? Do you know how much calcium you normally consume? If your diet contains few dairy products or vitamin/mineral supplements containing calcium, your bones may be underfed -- especially if you're a woman.

Osteoporosis, a severe loss of bone density and weakening of bones can be the end result of a calcium-poor diet. This crippling bone disease now afflicts 15 or 20 million Americans -- eight times as many women as men.

Once thought to be a natural phenomenon of old age, osteoporosis has now been, established as a preventable disease. Older Americans, especially women, need no longer resign themselves to poor posture, humped backs or easily fractured hones.

Prevention of osteoporosis, however, needs to begin early in life. As early as age 30, this gradual deterioration can begin if the body needs to con- tinually draw calcium from bone reserves to supply the need for proper blood clotting, muscle contrac- tion and heart function.

This process naturally accelerates for women around age 50 as menstruation ceases and hormone levels change. Hence, by age 70 to 80, a woman risks severely weakened bones if bone mass has not been built up over the years through a diet rich in calcium and proper exercise.

Diet: The average woman consumes about 450rag of calcium per day -- less that half of what she needs. The current recommended daily allowance of calcium is 800rag, but many experts now feel even this amount is too low. Many physicians now recommend 1,000 to 1,200mg per day for women in their child-bearing years and 1,500mg per day for post menopausal women.

Dairy products, leafy green vegetables and can- ned fish with bones are the foods highest in calcium. A cup of milk or yogurt contains approximately 300mg.

Whenever possible, these foods should he included in the diet to provide a natural source of calcium. To ensure, however, that you are getting the recommended 1,000 to 1,200mg per day, it may be necessary to supplement your diet with a vitamin/mineral tablet, If so, the tablet should he taken with meals for maximum absorption.

Exercise: A regular exercise program can be almost as important as proper diet. The most beneficial workouts include weight-bearing exer- cises done in an upright position, e.g., jogging, ten- nis, walking, volleyball, soccer, etc. These activities cause the bones to become more dense by placing weight on them:

In addition to proper diet and exercise, your physician may recommend low-dose estrogen therapy at the time of menopause to decrease your chances for bone loss.

For more information on ways to promote good health through diet and exercise, contact the Diet Center.

Current Figures to perform - - On Saturday, Feb. 8 at

8 p.m. Current Figures will be on stage at the REM Lee Theatre in Ter- race pro~;iding the audience with a unique brand of electronic music.

Edwin Dolinski and Bob Caldwell have performed together in a variety of musical situations during the past nine years.

The concept of Cur- rent Figures grew from a series of electronic music demonstrat ions they gave at Vancouver's Ar t s , Science and Technology Centre in 1982 and 1983.

The response to these mini performancesand demonstrations was so encouraging that the tWO

decided to form an ensemble which would explore the public performance possibilities of electronic music.

A year was spent acquiring the $30,000 worth of equipment necessary to enact their vision.

Then, once the equipment was in place, it had to be mastered and used to create music which would take full advan- tage of the virtually in- finite range of its creative possibilities.

' About the artists Edwin Dolinski, was

born in Ontario 27 years ago. At the age of seven he began his musical studies on the piano; at 15 he began his career as a professional musician and shortly after started working with the syn- thesizer.

The next few years were spedt in show biz, exploring many different styles, playing clubs,

cabarets, restaurants and dance music.

In 1978, with that experience under his belt, Dolinski went to the University of Western Washington where he studied electronic music and composition.

In 1982, he was asked to establish the syn- thesizer program at the Institute of Communca- tion Arts and continues to teach and guide its development while working on his own composi- tions and developing Current Figures.

Robert Caldwell, is a 30-year-old Victoria- born percuss ionis t , began his musical studies at Oak Bay High School and continued them at Douglas College and then the University of Vic tor ia where he graduated in 1982 with a Bachelor of Music. His musical experience is a varied as Dolinski's.

Caldwell toured Eur- ope with the Oak Bay Concert Band in 1972 and has played concert halls and cabarets as a freelance percussionist and drumset player.

This has been counter- pointed by his work as a percussionist with the Victoria Symphony and as a private teacher.

He also regularly plays with jazz bands, new music• ensembles, mo- dern dance groups and in recording projects.

Before joining with Dolinski to found Cur- rent Figures, Caldwell was involved in West Coast Percussion, a government funded percussion ensemble which performed and gave percussion workshops in Vic tor ia area high schools and colleges.

Entertainment scene by Kelth Alford

At the Northern Mo- tor Inn the Don Pickston Duo will entertain with coun t ry -and-wes te rn tunes until month's end.

Both the Royal Cana- dian Legion Branch 13 and the Thornhi l l Neighborhood Pub are still in the process of booking groups to play for their clients, but both state on weekends music will be filling the air at those establishments.
