Marco Nieto first had a taste
of Terrace when he helped his
grandparents move from Van-
couver to Terrace this past
summer. Staying with his un-
cle, A&W owner Campbell
Stewart, he found that he liked
Terrace: he liked the mountains
and thought that he would not
mind living here for a while.

Marco is an American

citizen. He and his family live -

in Champaign, Illinois. Cham-
paign is a city of approximately
250,000 inhabitants. The main
industry is agriculture. The city

itself is home to the University -

of Illinois, which makes the
city vibrant and alive. The
Kraft Co. operates a large .
plant in Champaign. Pretty
well everything with a Kraft .

label on it is produced there.

In contrast to Terrace, the
landscape is very flat. The tem-
peratures go to extremes, from

. very cold with lots of snow in

the winter to very hot and
humid in summer. The fact
that he was here on a holiday
meant that he could not stay
and*go to school, He had to
return to the States to obtain a
student visa. After all the for-
malities were take care of, he

’ returned and enrolled at North-

west Community College, tak-
ing. university transfer courses.
Marco has very much en-

joyed the opportunity of living |

in a small city. There is so
much to do here, he says. His
observation is that people are a
little friendlier here, although,
he says, his friends at school

. find it sometimes the other way
_ around. He also observed that

some of the young people do
not really appreciate all Terrace
has to offer. -

I asked him what his goals
are in life, and with a big smile
he says to make lots of money.
Whether that will happen
through a career or business,
he is not too sure. He also
wants to travel. For now, he
knows, that he is going back to
school. His interest right now is
in literature and science, but
that could change, he says. His
favorite sport is soccer. He

played in the Terrace men’s

league this past summer.

He has also played guitar for
many years, but he could not
read notes. He is self taught.
So when he decided. to stay
here, -he took guitar lessons and
is now able to read notes. At
one of the recitals of the
Northwest Academy of Per-
forming Arts, he performed his
own composition he called ‘SA
Taste of Terrace’’.

..Marco has finished the

- semester at the college, and to-

day he is leaving Terrace. He
will meet his family in Florida,
then they will travel to Peru to

spend Christmas with other

_ relatives. After Christmas they

will:go for‘a short holiday to
Mexico and after that it is back
to Champaign, where he has
enrolled in another small col-: -

_lege for the last semester, Next °
- year he.will be starting schoo!

at the University of Illinois.
Talking to Marco I know
that Terrace has-left a very
good impression on him. I also
think that he has left a very

*-. good impression on Terrace.

The Terraceview tea and
bazaar i is history for another
year. As always, it was a good
event.-The setup was a little

different this year.

. Because of the expanded ¢ din-

-ing room, the day was less
disruptive for the residents. .; =:. -
What makes all the hard work ~

of the staff.and supporters of
Terraceview worthwhile is the
overwhelming community sup-
port. The Royal Canadian Air
Cadets, 747 Squadron, deserve
a special mention. These young
men spent their night setting
tables, clearing them off, pour-
ing tea and coffee and bringing
goodies around. One of them
even greeted the people as they
came through the door and

_ checked their coats.

For those who had purchased
raffle tickets, some great prizes
were won. First prize of a
beautiful quilt went to Michelle
Cote. Second prize, the Rag-
gedy Ann and Andy dolls, was
won by Sue Goodmanson, and
Terry Walker was the winner
of the doily. A $50 gift cer-
tificate from Safeway went to
Gloria Cote and Agnes .
Schultz’s name was drawn for
the Co-op fruit basket and a -
$25 gift certificate from Over-
waitea. The cake raffle was
won by P. Richardson and the
table centerpiece went to L.
Liewellyn.-Another cake raffle -
was won by Mr. Jefferson.

The Christmas tree was lit
the same night, looking like
thousands of stars simul-
taneously spreading their light
over Terrace.

Veritas School held their
Christmas bazaar last week. A
crowd was.waiting to get in at
§:30 to get firsthand choice of
all the good things available.
All tables attracted lots of |
lookers and buyers. There was
a white elephant table, a craft
table, a baking table with some

ether diverse elements of the
freshments. Jean Limin and

of the most delicious-looking
goodies ever seen, the ever-
popular fishpond, a bottle table
where people could buy tickets
and 95 percent of the time win

something displayed on the -

table.

Of course a bazaar is not a
bazaar without raffle tickets.
Molly and Stella did a brisk
business in that department.
The Pro Life organization was
also in attendance and dis-
played their pamphlets and
booklets, Another smart thing
the organizers thought of was
having the bazaar from 5:30 to
7:30, which is suppertime for
most — so they sold ham-

. burgers and hotdogs. There

was hardly an empty seat in the
eating area.

Marion Schlegel, chairperson
for this year’s event, wants to

thank the Sacred Heart Parish,

the Pro Life members,, Sister _
Rita for organizing the kitchen,
Don Coburn, Joan Corpi,
Delta Smith, Mary Hernes,
Gerry Mantel, Yvonne Fisher,
Jean Maroney, Gladis Anaka,
Netty Olson, Vera Gervais,
Sheri Onstein, Mary Brown,
Stella Miller, Molly Obzera and

and hard work.

A show with a difference is

Show’’, All the artists have

taken, at some time or other,
Terrace Parks and Recreation
Art courses. Altogether it
makes for a very interesting ex-
hibit. .

The art featured is done by
children as young as six years
old to adults. The show runs to
the 16th of December; if you
have not already been there, -
you still have a few days.
Believe me, it is worth your
while to spend some time in the
Gallery. I was very much taken
by the works of all the young-
sters. Their creativity knows no
bounds and they are not afraid
to use colors.*Phone a friend,
go on over and enjoy yourself.
Gallery hours are Tuesday to
Saturday from 12 to 3 p.m.,
Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. and
Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday evenings from 7 to 9
p.m.

“The Co-op held their annual
seniors’ and handicapped night

Jast week. As always, every-

body was treated royally to
coffee, tea, cake and goodies.
The highlight is the enter-
tainment. For many years peo-
ple have given unselfishly of
their time and talent to make
this a memorable evening. The
Centennial Christian School
choir started the night’s enter-
tainment by singing Christmas
carols, followed by Elly Hig-
ginson, a choir member,

reading a poem.

No evening at the Co-op is
ever complete without Vicki
Parviainen and the Vicki Par-
viainen Dancers. Vicki made it
look easy and effortless, when
she tapdanced to a popular old
tune ‘‘In the Mood”.

Julie Guilanders, Sandy Ir-
ving and Sheri Clark, a dance
trio named Pizza and Pop,
showed their talents with a nice
dance number. The popular
Highland Fling was performed
by Cheranne Shephard and
Kimberly Porter. Lana Gyer |
danced the Sword Dance and
Vicki rounded it all off with a
dance to a number called
Spaghetti Rag.

Next up was the band
‘Double Time’’. They played
and sang popular Christmas
carols, New to this year’s line-
up were the Terrace Pipes and
Drums. They played quite a
few numbers to a very ap-—
preciative audience.

David and Barb Hickey
finished off the evening. These
two have come out for many

"years entertaining the folks

with their songs.

Through and amongst it all,
Santa mingled with the young
and the young of heart, much to
the delight of everybody there.

Enjoy your week. See you all |

again next Wednesday.
