“Pro-life, pro-chastity and proud

of it” is a slogan more and more

young people are picking up

across Canada, according to

Heather Stillwell of Cloverdale.

Stillwell, past national president
of Alliance for Life, addressed
about 60 people in.a meeting
room at the Pentecostal Church
Sept. 21.
She arrived in the northwest
Sept. 20, speaking to a group in
- Smithers the previous evening.
Stillwell is the mother of eight.

Those familiar with Alliance for
Life and the industrious nature of
her position were awed to learn
that she brought into the world
two of her children during the
three and one half years she held
a position on the executive.
Alliance for Life is the education-
al wing of the Canadian Pro-life
organization.

At the meeting in Terrace, Still-
well gave an overview and update
on the Pro-life movement in
Canada. Giving an example of the
‘involvement of young people in

. the issue, she stated that debates

are being held at McGill Univer-
sity in which the alumni are tak-
ing part.

_ “Tn general,” she said, “although ,

we don’t have any law protecting
the unborn at the present time in

Canada, people are becoming bet-
ter informed of the issues.” Such

as: “there’s no such thing as a~

safe medical abortion, the reality
of post-abortion trauma, or the
myth that it is mainly very young
girls and rape victims who have
them.” (Statistics for Mills
Memorial Hospital in Terrace
show that of 81 abortions, only
six were for girls 14 to 16 years
of age; the majority involved
women over 19.)

There was a discussion on the -

ramifications for the future
regarding the possible use of fetal
‘parts and the link between the
“abortion mentality” to euthana-
sia. Euthanasia, when taken to its
extreme, could become the dis-
posal of those in society who are
not “useful” -— like the very old
and handicapped.

Stillwell, a member of the
school board in Surrey, suggested
that parents take a long, hard look
at the ethics that are beginning to
be taught in our school system.

She said that those concerned

with these life issues can best
help in theit own back yard. “Are
you sensitive to the person down
the street who may feel that she is
in a desperate situation? Do your
kids know why you go to those
meetings?” she asked. "How
about your brother-in-law, is he
informed?”
_ She concluded her address by
saying that she believed most
doctors do not particularly like to
do abortions. “We need to change
the emotional climate so that doc-
tors will-have the courage to say
no,” she said. “Then perhaps we
will avoid tragedies such as
occurfed in Terrace recently.”

he Premier and several of his cabinet ministers drew about 450

people to a Town Hall meeting one year ago this week. Major
issues were concerns about the future of the forest industry,
land claims, health, education and the Shames Mountain road. Front and
centre of the forest industry concems, and in fact the Town Hall
meeting, were the government’s inability to help Weedene River Timber
from falling into bankruptcy earlier that year and the awarding of the

’ Sustut-Takla timber licence to Pririce George interests.

Also this week in 1990 Skeena River professional fishing guides were
lamenting the loss of tourists duc to poor steelhead returns. The local
guides said Japanese fishermen had spent a considerable amount of
money in the area in past years but the tourists would probably prefer

. to fish in other areas of the world than to get "skunked" on the Skeena

again.

Northern Native Broadcasting received a $100,000 grant from the B.C.
General Communications Grant Program. The grant was to allow NNB
to expand satellite radio distribution to rural native communities by
assisting with engineering and capital costs.

Organizers of the B.C, Northern Winter Games telethon were
delighted when it raised over $16,0000 this week last year.

Also one year ago this week, Terrace Review sports reporter Len
Harrington and Terrace Chito-Ryu Karate Club instructor and organizer
Roland Lagace were among eight British Columbians to receive an
award of recognition from the B.C. Youth Advisory Council. The
awards were for special contributions in the service of young people.

Aviation Safety Board into the Skylink Airlines crash that had
occurred the previous week were just concluding. The investi-
gations included comprehensive ground and air surveys and interviewing
about 35 witnesses. While investigations were being carried out

T wo years ago this week on-site investigations by the Canadian

‘Transport Canada suspended Skylink’s operating certificate. It was

expected to be six months before a final report would be issued by the
Canadian Aviation Safety Board.

This week in 1989 the results of a-survey by Nortwest Aims for
Health were released. The survey was part of a project launched by the
Skeena Health Unit and involved the public’s perceptions of threats to
physical well-being in the region. The abusive comsumption of alcohol
was way out ahead in first place, with drug abuse, mental health

Also three years ago this week the Okanagan-Skeena Group unveiled
a new mall concept. According to an Okanagan-Skeena Group
spokesperson, the structure would house existing businesses wanting to
expand or move into the downtown core. .

Repap Enterprises officially launched Project Starship at the Skeena
Cellutose mill in Terrace three years ago this week. Local, regional,
provincial and federal polititians were on hand for the opening of the
state-of-the-art lumber plant, as were corporate heads from around the
world and many of Repap’s board of directors.

This week in 1988 the Skeena Union Board of Health announced a
project that would have Skeena Junior Secondary theatre arts students
take part in the production of two plays. The creation of the project
came about through a Ministry of Health report on drug and alcohol
abuse among teenagers. The report indicated the use and abuse of
alcohol and drugs among teenagers was higher and more widespread
than was previously believed. The two plays, Juice and Squeeze, were
to be produced by the theatre arts students under the guidance of teacher
Brian Koven.

E lections were big in the news this week in 1988 as a federal
