Fire - grad » Having successfully coni- pleted a recent training course, Nass Valley volunteer fire department captain Cliff Asak will soon begin running courses on municipal fire protection for native band fire departments around the province. Asak is one of ‘four native firefighters who. last. month graduated from a firefighting. instructors course. Under con- tract with Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, the new in- Structors were trained at the Justice Institute’s fire training centre in Vancouver. . Fire Academy director Paul Smith said “Indian Affairs needed to train native band fire departments, so instead of hir- ing trainers and setting up a separate system, they brought their best candidates to us,” Although the fire academy has offered training to native band fire departments in B.C. and Saskatchewan since 1983, it hadn't employed native instruc- tors until this year. The fire training course in- cluded instruction on teaching techniques and technical skiils . in addition to lessons on handl- ing fires in buildings, cars and aircraft. Training police, fire and am- . bulance personnel, the academy also provides instruction on handling dangerous goods and medical emergencies. Page BZ. —. Terrace Standard, Wednesday, July 18, 1990 Nishga Band member Cliff Asak recently graduated from a fire- training officers program and will be conducting firefighting courses at native band fire departments. Clowns entertain young and old By MARY ANN BURDETT Young or old, we all love clowns and happily most of us are familiar with the Shrine Clowns. But were you aware that we are fortunate enough to have a Shrine Clown unit in our own area? _ The Skeena Shrine Clown Unit was formed in September 1989 and is made up of ten members from the Ter- tace/Kitimat area. These ten members have appeared in parades, at community func- tions and anywhere they can make youngsters smile. So far they have put in 351 hours. The Skeena Clowns under the direction of president Rick Wintemute, secretary Ron Burnett and director of enter- tainment Jake Terpstra have a busy schedule ahead of them this year wiih many events UNICEF British Columbia 1-604-68 74-9096 SLUMBER LODGE TERRACE 41702 Lakelse Avenue Phone 6354302 Restauinan te Lleensed Premises : HOURS: ; Weekdays 1. 6:30 a.m. 8:30 p.m. ‘; Saturday . 7:00 a.m. - 8:30 p.m, : | Sunday 48:00 a.m, - 8:00 p.m. # GOOD FAMILY DINING AT i REASONABLE PRICES scheduled as well as attending training workshops.

Lots of them. The beautiful array of huckleberries, blueberries, bunchberries and even devil's club berries make for a colourful walk along the trails of local B.C, Parks. Berries are very important the life cycle of many plant species, Inside the berry is the seed of life from which a new. plant may grow, Seeds that are covered by a tasty berry can travel far before landing on the soil because birds, bears and even people will eat the berry, but not digest the seed. You could say that these animals are acting as “gardeners of the forest’’. Some plants rely heavily on animals to spread the seeds, That is exactly why most berries are not harmful to animals. r the berries were harmful, the animals would not want to eat them! That does not mean that all berries taste good to humans, Some, such as baneberries are poisonous, But there are many kinds that taste good raw (eg. bunchberries, huckleberries), others are better sweetened (eg. soapberries), and some will probably not hurt you but are best left alone for the birds and the bears (eg. Devil’s Club), There are many kinds of plants which people eat from our local forests, and berry walks are a great opportunity to swap recipes. Want to learn more about edible berries and plants? Then bring your sense of adventure to our “Incredible Edibles” . walk on Sunday, July 22 from 3 - 4 p.m. We will meet at the Furlong Bay Picnic Shelter, at the beach.
