meet in Ter by Nancy Orr Terrace will be the site of the November meeting of the board _ of governors of the University of Northern British Columbia. At its meeting in Prince George on Sept. 15, the board discussed the logistics of holding meetings in other centres in the north and decided to meet in Fort St. John in October and in Terrace on November 22. “It will be an opportunity for all the members of the board to become acquainted with the university areas to be served,” said Margaret Dediluke, UNBC Board member from Terrace. “And an opportunity for in- terested people to talk to the Board in its early stages of plan- ning.”’ The board also received in- _ , terim reports from the site selec- - tion. Committee and the president ‘ search committee. . “Both these committees are at a very sensitive stage,’ said.

The best little newspaper in the west began publication, my first-born son graduated from high school and... Five years ago Saturday my home bummed, That event now seems like a part of another life. Time has worked its miracle. Time has separated me from the trauma and the pain. But once in a while I am reminded of my Josses. Like when I discovered the cardboard box. Of things collected after the fire from the ash ruins, stored then restored later (or discarded), one box remained, tucked away in.a dark corner of the basement, forgotten. It had been overlooked during that other-life time of sifting, sorting, reclaim- ing, and restoring. | At the bottom of the ash-littered box was a dulled and damap- ed wooden plaque which used to hang on the wall in my office, above my desk. Where a collection of inspiring little savings and favourite family photos used to hang — nothing survived: nothing remain- : ed. Just black charcoal. But this plaque, soiled, sooty and grimy, must have fallen from the wall and lodged: behind my desk. It was protected, somehow, from the flames... to survive. After the fire it was thrown in this box, along with the other possibly . salvageable treasures, and forgotten... Now here it is, a little rough round the edges, still smoky, per- manently scarred and smoke-stained. But on the plaque the bushy-tailed skunk still smiles, reposing among now-yellowed grass and. now-grey daisies. And the little bluebird-of-happiness still perches on the skunk’s éxtended paw, smiling a birdie-smile back. Along the bottom of the plaque the caption still reads: “When you're happy, life looks good from any angle.” A special treasure, my only remaining plaque from that other- life, looking a little worse for wear and displaying a few of the bumps and knocks of life, is hanging on a new wall in a home | now filled with new treasures. It’s there to remind me that even when life is viewed from an angle buried beneath soot and ash, life can still look good... You are happy because you survived. Life does look good. “EXPECT THE EXTRAGRDINARY” _WE DELIVER 635-4080) 12 - 4741 LAKELSE, TERRACE TERRACE FLOWERS A LA CARTE LTD Your chance to get involved — The Royal Purple Lodge #216, Terrace holds meetings the 2nd and 4th Mondays of evary month.
