Women's Day noted

ere at open house |

- TERRACE — The two new.
employees of the Terrace
Women’s Resource Centre say
they want to broaden its ac-
tivities and appeal,

Administrator Bev Lutes and
co-ordinator Karla Henning say
that: involves issues ranging
from human rights to health to
classes teaching how to cook
different kinds of foods.

“We don’t want to go
through the 60s where men are
the enemy — that’s not the way
to go,*' said Lutes.

‘In the past, women’s centres
had the perception of being af-
filiated with women on the fr-
inge — radical and poltical,”
added Henning.

The idea in the 90s, Henning
continued, is to have women's
centres act as community cen-
tres and to be flexible to handle
issues as they arise.

She and Lutes view the 90s as
the decade in which men and
women can support each other.

The women’s centre here has
counterparts in Kitimat and
Prince Rupert.

Their northern Iccations in
more isolated cities’ bring them
prablems not experienced by

A NEW co-ordinator and administrator have taken up positions at

the Terrace Women's Resource

Centre. That's co-ordinator Karla

Henning, left, and administrator Bev Lutes, right. They want to

state a great variety of activities

at the centre,

centres
areas,

in more populated

,

To help cope with that and to
set up a better exchange of in-
formation, women’s centres
across the province are asking
the provincial government for
money to install computers and
modems.

~ “It’s also a case of not having
to duplicate’ services,’? said

Henning. An example, she add-

ed, is a program in the
Kootenays which sets out role
models for teenage girls.

“If they have all that infor-
mation, all we have to do is use
it. It’s a matter of awareness,’?
Lutes said,

Talent search on.

TERRACE — The B.C. Coun-
try Music association’s Country
Talent Search is on once again
and one of last year's winners
says it’s time for talented solo
vocalists to come out and show
their stuff,

“There’s so much talent out
there,” said Karen Ljungh,
“We've got to get them out of
the closet.’ One of two winners
to emerge from the 1989 nor-
thwesiern competition, Ljungh
subsequently won a spot in the
provincial finals,

Describing that experience as
both -fun and “really good ex-
perience,” she said it gave her a
chance-to meet not only other
entertainers from all parts of
the province, but also those in-
volved in the production end of
the business..

Although two ‘‘heats’? have

already taken place, she said
those interested in taking part
still had three more oppor-
tunities ta do so — March 10,
March 24 and April 7. The com-
petitions take place from
5.30-6.30 p.m each of those
Saturday evenings at the Nor-
thern Motor Inn.

The winners from all five ses-
sions will advance to the pacific
Northwest finals scheduled for
April 21 with success there earn-
ing the artist a trip to Kelowna
for the regionals on May 12.
The provincial finals will take
place in June.

Apart from the experience
and the exposure, Ljungh
pointed out there are significant
financial rewards awaiting those
who make it all the way to the
national finals — §44,000 worth
of prizes.
