ON GOLDEN WING, Doug and P.J. (Pirjo) McPhail of Vanderhoof,

seen above on their 84 Honda Gold Wing Aspencade, were among
the many northwestern motorcycle enthusiasts who converged on
Terrace last weekend for this year's Ride For Sight. This is the
fourth year the couple have taken part in the event which raises
money for research into retinal pizmentosis, a serious eye disease.

‘Church plans new
centre for youth

‘TERRACE — The Terrace

' Pentecostal Assembly is work-
ing on a plan to open a youth
centre, °-

Pastor John Caplin.said the
centre idea is in response to a
need by young people for a
place to gather,

“There's often no place for
young. people or nothing for
them to do, They then find
something that’s counter-
productive,”’ he said.
The need grew out of weekly
sessions of the church’s Christ
Ambassadors youth group and
by church young people talking

to'others around town, Caplin

added.

biems with that — on the
weekends, for instance — just
to get off the street,”’ he said.

The centre would be located:
in a house on church property
that has been renovated for use
as a gathering place. ,

Caplin described the centre as
not only a community project
but as a place to continue the
mission of the church.

The church board has met
once to consider the. proposal
and an information meeting for
the congregation will soon take
place. The board will then meet
again to discuss the proposal.

In years gone > by, amateur
radio operators tended to be
technically oriented individuals
but that, says local radio buff
Kim Olfert, is no- longer the
case. ‘You're finding now
there’s all kinds of people.”

Olfert, a member of the Ter-

race Amateur Radio club, said
they also find satisfaction in dif-
ferent facets of the hobby.
While he began as a builder of
radio sets and now enjoys. morse
code, ‘‘many. get enjoyment
from getting involved in con-
tests to see how many countries
can be contacted and on how
many frequencies.’

Still others simply tiked the
opportunity to talk to fellow
hobbyists, particularly those in
far off countries. Depending on
the frequency being used and
the conditions at the time, he
said the average operator could
“more often ‘then not’ reach
Europe.

Satellites even offered the op-
portunity to talk to radio hams

on ‘the other side of the world. -

However, he pointed out the in-
dividual. had to wait for the

- satellite to circle the giobe

before getting a reply.

And if that is still not far
enough away, they could always
try talking to the moon! Olfert
explained that was achieved by
directing a transmission at the
moon and then waiting for the

echo to return to Earth. “‘It’s:
really unlimited, what you can

do,” he added.

To obtain a federal Depart-
ment of Communications
licence, operators had first to
obtain their proficiency and
radio certificates, That involved
passing examinations in theory,

- basic electronics and rules and -

regulations as well as attaining a
speed of 10 words per minute in
morse code,

While that might sound
somewhat daunting, Olfert em-
phasized, ‘It is attainable.”

He said the Terrace Amateur
