THE GREEN GRASS of
Terrace is gonna’ be
smokin’ blue Sept. 11-13.

Terrace is going to be in-
vaded by the most avid
bluegrass-lovers from as far
away as Chilliwack for the
Annual General Meeting.

That means three days of
music and fun at the Terrace
Curling Rink with a large
selection of bands showcas-
ing their talent.

Rene Lucier and Rene
Therrien will host the show.
They are well-known for
their singing and fiddling at
Heritage Park, Skeena View
Lodge and other local func-
tions.

Bobby Ball, who is well-
known from Telegraph
Creek to Terrace and places
he only knows about, is a
talented singer, guitar and
fiddle player. He is truly a
legend in our time. We al-
ways look forward to hear-
ing him perform.

well-received local group
has performed at many
functions including last
year’s Rosswood music fes-
tival.

Slade Compton and Com-
pany will be doing our Sun-
day Gospel in word and in
song. This is another
heavenly group of voices.

Reviver from Kitimat in-
cludes Arthur Lucier and
Friends. This is a new group
we are all waiting to hear,

Andy and Amie, a great
brother and sister fiddling
duo, hail from Quesnel and
ate hometown favorites.
Andrew also plays with a
gioup known as Andrew
and the Old Timers. They’re
sure to get your feet tapping
and heading for the dance
floor.

Moonshine with Earl
Crawford is comprised of
talent from Terrace and
Kitimat.

Uncle Elmer and The
Hayseeds, are sure to catch
everyone’s attention. Look
for Elmer with his Canjo

ments. This man is a genius

| who can play them all! This .

is a really terrific comedy
act with the redhead and the
rest of the Haysceds. A must
see.

You BE THE JUDGE

ls Your Dobermann A Deadly Weapon

“Darling, get that phone, I'm busy In the kitchen.”

Raymond dashed to the hall phone.

“Hallo, Raymond speaking.”

There was 4 long pause.

“Hallo? Who Is this?”

Finally, a voice answered. A familiar voice, it was
Ed, his former business partner,

“i'm going to gat you for what you did to me.”

Raymond froze. His Dobermann started growl-
ing. The dog could sense Raymonds fear,

“Ed, ara you crazy? It was a business deal that
went sour. You lost money, | lost money. That's the
way the cookie crumbles.”

The voice on the other end of the line was slow
and deliberate,

“That's the way YOUR COOKIE IS GOING 70
CRUMBLE.”

The line went dead.

Raymond started trembling, He had been
warned against Ed, “Don't do business with him. He
gels dangerous when things dont work out.

Raymond's wife called out from the kiichen,

“Ray, can you get some sugar from ihe corner
store?"

Raymond was grateful for being shaken out of
his gloamy memorias. He grabbed his jacket and
headed for the store. Raymond was almost there
when suddenly--ha stopped dead in his tracks.
There was his former parner, Ed, waiting at the
corner.

“Ed, what are you daing here? | just spoke to you
on the phone.”

Ed pulled his cell phone aut of his pocket and
patted it ominously.

“Handy little thing. Gets your message across
fast and easy.”

Ed started pulllng something from his other

pocket,

“Youre gonna pay for what you did to me.”

Raymond turned white as a ghost, His haart
started racing. Suddenly, he turned and dashed
back to his house, Raymond grabbed his
Dobermann by the collar and ran out onto the
street.

*Go get him, boy!” He pointed at Ed and let the
dog loose, In twa seconds flat, the Dobermann
pounced on Ed, threw him to the ground, and
mauled him severely.

When Ed got out of the hospital, he had crimi-
nal charges laid against Raymond for using a
deadly weapon--his Dobarmannt

In court, Raymond tried to explain, “Your Honor,

_ | was scared for my Iifel | thought Ed was really

going to hurt me. | let the dog loose just to scare
Ed and to get him to slop making those creepy
phone calls. | sure didn't mean for Ed to gel so
beat up. Dogs have minds of thelr awn. It’s not my
fault.”

Still wearing bandages, a cast, and an sye
patch, Ed was not convinced. “Your Honour,
Raymond's story doesn't make sanse. After | made
the threat, ha went inside, but came cut again with
his vicious dog. #f he was so scared, why didn't he
stay home and call the cops? He obviously wanted
the dog to attack me!”

Should Raymond pay Ed damages? YOU! BE
THE JUDGE, Then look balow far the cacision.
