It started with brothers Jonathen and Arthur Thorsen wanting to .find an activity for the summer. When they put their desire to have summer jobs together with their love for animals, the answer was obviaus - the animal shelter, Jonathen, 10, and_his eight- year-old brother Arthur asked animal shelter workers if any help was needed. . Even when help is not needed, Said animal shelter worker Deb- bie Bowsher, they still encourage kids to spend time at the shelter - Local actor may go pro TERRACE AMATEUR actor T- Jay MacKenzic may be going pra, in a hormonal kind of way. After his performance at the July 2-9 Mainstage "94 drama festival in Cranbrook with Ter- race’s Orphans, MacKenzie was approached by a. Vancouver director who was wanted him to audition for 2 film role. While the teenage antics and hormones in Serewbalis 4 is not MacKenzie’s idea of fine film, he thinks it would be an interesting. experience working with a film crew. ; “T managed to find Screwbalis i and 3 on videolape and they were both pretty bad,”’ said 20- year-old MacKenzie. ‘‘But still, I think it would be a lot of fun and I'd like to think J have a good chance.”? , MacKenzie sent a videotape of himself reading. lines from the script to the director last week. He hopes to hear back soon as filming of Screwbails 4 is sched- uled to start sometime in August. ‘Because he will be attending Vancouver Community College’s King Edwards campus for musi- cal studies in the fall, MacKenzic would already be in Vancouver for ihe filming: . ‘While theatre has become a major hobby of iis, said MacK- enzic, his main focus still remains on music, He has. been playing the trumpet for eight years and the piano for 10 years. — The. plot of the movie cenlers around the stereotypical stud, jock and nerd working with a vir- tual reality game; MacKenzie said, ce “It’s basically a\ hormonal movie about these three guys,’’ he said. ‘‘ My.role would be of the _-merd-and I grew ‘up a nerd, so 1 could do that oe te ve mee be: tee ee THESE DOGS got treated to a w at oe ¥ ts WS learning about animals, So Jonathen and Arthur started volunteering as soon as school ended. : “*] think working at the animal ‘shelter is the best thing to do be- cause you lear about animals and you get to play with them,’’ said Arthur. “‘All they need is cuddles.’ Their original plan was to volunteer about three times a week. . But after secing all the animals at the shelter without homes, they soon approached their father with the idea of getting’a pet cat, alk outside by animal shelter volunteers Tim Philpott, Arthur Thomsen and Jonathen Thomsen. The three boys have volunteered to spend two hours a day at the city animal shelter. during the summer. Volunteering love for animals If they could keep their rooms clean for one week, their father told them, they could have a pet cat. “When Dad said thal we de- cided to spend even more time at the shelicr so we wouldn’t be at home messing up our rooms,” said Jonathen, Gy They now spend about two hours five days a week at the Shelter playing with the animals and cleaning. Their rooms are cleaner than usual] and they hope to be getting _acat sometime this week. After hearing Jonathen and iy ay Arthur talk about their time at the shelter, 10-year-old Tim Philpott Stared volunteering at the shelter ° July 18. ‘The reason I started here at: the shelter is because I love animals and 1 thought ' what Jonathen and Arthur were doing was good,”’ said Tim. . The three boys faithfully arrive at 3:00 p.m. every day, sald Bow- sher. ° ° “*T think it’s really sad there’s animals in the shelter,’ Arthur said. ‘But we can make them a little bit happier when we're here.’” IT WAS T-JAY Mackenzie's performance in ther ole of Philip in Terrace Little Theatra's production of Orphans that sparked the interest of a Vancouver film director.
