Ministry of Education’ in cooperation with participating school districts saw 30 students travel to China’s Pacific Rim in July, 1988. Of those, several were from the Northwest. Echo Shrum was ‘from Stewart, Gina Jaarsma from Kitwanga and— Dean Wirth from Hazelton. The Queen Charlotte Islands School District and Nisga’a District 92 also sponsored students. by Pam Whitaker From the Terrace area were Caledonia high school student Tina Thomas, Michelle Michaud from Thornhill Junior Secon- dary and Dalice Kelin from Skeena Junior Secondary. All the students were between the ages of 15 and 17. Four adults accompanied them, with Elizabeth Metzmeyer, a Thorn- hill Junior Secondary counsellor being one of the chaperones. The entourage crossed the ocean to the Orient by air, leav- ing Vancouver July 11. Terrace’s students arrived home July 24. os They landed in Shanghai, the largest city in China with a population of 12 million, where they spent three days. ‘(We always had a tour guide,” said Elizabeth’ Metz- meyer. ‘There was a national tour guide, and each city provid- , ed another guide. They were superb people, enthusiastic and happy. The tour was very well planned. We did not feel restricted in any way.” While in Shanghai, they went * to acircus and browsed through Chinese gardens with interesting rock architecture. “'The gardens always contain. the four elements, rocks, water, plants and of course, air,”” Metzmeyer commented. They also visited what used to be called a com- mune, now known as a township. “Shanghai is a bustling hub- bub of acity,’’ said Metzmeyer. “People seemed well’ fed and there was much private enter- prise on a small scale.”’ It has been open to private enterprise for nine years now, and there was evidence of outside invest- ment, like a Volkswagon Rupert, 110 Third Avenue West, will be opened by Prince Rupert Contract, Schedule “/ ‘CONSTRUCTION OF Prince Work under this contract Involves the construction of six addlt existing whart adjacent to the existing facility, and quarrying and filling to form additional back-up land, rail, Wgnend, electrical drainage and water services to the new area. ° *, Latour Conditions and Tender Enve _-pefunded.upon the return of the above documents.in.g * ‘for the retarn -of :tenders..If: the documents. are. not: “fortelted. a PORT OF PRINCE RUPERT NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS FOR PRINCE RUPERT, B.C. - Port of Prince Rupart Choukalos Woodburn McKenzie +10 Third Avenue West Maranda Ltd. - - + ......-Prinea Rupert, B.C. - o . 206,1412 West-7th Avenue — - oe MBU 1K8 - Vancouver, B.C.

The locomotive travelled about 20 mph and it was a ‘‘soft seat’’ luxury tour (there was some cushioning on the seats). Metzmeyer _— described Hangzhou as a ‘‘nestled place _ with lots of greenery’. They en- joyed palatial accommodations complete with a swimiming pool, and were toured around a large. lake — West Lake. All the cities they visited were more than 2,000 years old. The next train they boarded was a faster train taking them-to Suzhou, the ‘Venice of the East’’. According to Metz- meyer, ‘This city was covered by magnificent canals.”” On their way inland to the city of Nanjing they noticed changes in the terrain. It was hilly (perhaps like Thornhill) and the temperature rose to an average 39 degrees celsius. Nanjing is called one of the four ovens of China. “The humidity was terrible,” Metzmeyer said. ‘‘Eighty-three people had died a week before we arrived due to the incredible heat.” . She continued: ‘‘There were a lot of beautiful sycamore trees in that city. The Chinese are mad about trees.” On March 12 every single person plants a tree — it is .called Arbour Day. Helicopters even take seedlings to the tops of mountains, Each city has certain kinds of trees they are fond of, ; The capital city of China, Bei- jing, is a “‘truly international city’? according. to. Metznieyer: They saw vast. numbers. of foreign travellers of all races... - In Beijing the party walked ~ along the Great Wall of China, — toured the Ming tombs, the | - Summer Palace, and the Forbid- den City. — oe They also visited an em- broidery factory where they saw silk being taken from cocoons, watched jade’ and ivory being processed and. carved, mahogany being milled, and _- carpets being made by hand. The food was great, they said — and fun. All 34 of them are — now adept at using chopsticks! Although much fish, chicken. oy and pork was served, the food was not the same as the Chinese food we are familiar with. Elizabeth Metzmeyer said that - it was Harold Cox of School - District 88 that ‘‘initially got this - thing together”. The next trip being planned is to Japan. Metz- meyer summed up her feelings of China by saying: ‘‘More than anything else, I remember the’ people and particularly, the faces of the children.” . Caledonia. student Tina Thomas agreed. ‘‘The highlight of my- trip was seeing the - children — they were so open and eager. | would like to. go back again and walk among the - people more.’”’ : ‘The Great Wall was a highlight for the students. Dalice Kelin noted that walking along it: was an experience to remember. She said too-of the simplistic liv- ing conditions of the people, (no indoor plumbing in the home. they were shown, etc.) “‘It really: made me appreciate Canada... me We have somuch.” Women’s Centre reopens — contributed by Mary Bowering ‘The Terrace Women’s Centre is open again after summer closure.
