Advertising that works: the Terrace Review

Anyone without a tank or « four-wheel drive who considers tackling one of those strips of snow
in the centre of the street should consider it at least twice. More than a foot of snow fell overnight
Monday and the driver of this car was lucky there were lots of willing volunteers around after he

high-centred his vehicle early Tuesday morning on one of our famous mid-street “drifts”.

Beaver
fever
outbreak.
nothing
new, says
official

TERRACE — Is there beaver
fever in Terrace? Yes, according to
one Terrace Review reader, who

says she was diagnosed recently as. §

having the disease after weeks of
suffering from headaches, diarrhea
and nausea. Our reader adds that
- she was told by her doctor that
there could be as many as 13 cases
of beaver fever in Terrace at the
present time.
. But according to Ron Craig,
Skeena Health Unit chief environ-
mental health officer, there is not
an unusual risk in Terrace. Craig
says that in September, . for
example, there were seven reported
cases of giardiasis (beaver fever)
but that is not an unusual number.
He explains that the parasite that
causes the disease, giardia, exists
in most water systems from
Mexico to Alaska, and
consequently water systems are
monitored for giardia.
Science in our area, however,
hasn’t quite caught up to giardia,

according to Craig. Tests for the ff

‘parasite are still being developed,
and to do any testing in the North-
west we have to borrow the neces-
sary equipment on a periodic basis.

That situation is about to change,
though — the Skeena Union Board
of Health recently came up with

the money necessary to purchase | |

equipment of our own.

Craig and Skeena Health Unit
chief medical officer Dr. David
Bowering are currently gathering

the necessary data for a complete .

report on the beaver fever situation
in the Terrace area, In the mean-
time, says Craig, there is no cause
for panic: There are some incidents
of beaver fever in the area, but the

tisk of actually contracting the

disease is low.
