“The Melloyds “should”

“especially youth involve-
ment in the prevention of
drinking driving. Per-
forming a cappella (with-

ceeded, in a short period.
of time, in gaining an

_ ever-growing reputation

for upbeat, entertaining
performances,

Much acclaimed for
their fine performance
and style, the Melloyds are.
a quartet to rival the best
in a cappela music, con-
tinually pleasing diver-
sified audiences wherever
they sing. To date the Mel.

cluding television in Cana-

have the unique ability to

entertain audiences of all

‘descriptions, The Mel-

loyds were’ a ‘featured
group at Expo. 86 and per- -

formed for Prince Charles

and Princess Diana when -
in Vancouver to open’ the

Letter

We, the Friends and
Family of Schizophrenics,

(FOS), would like to invite

all interested people to
help us provide a warm
and enthusiastic welcome

‘to Dr. Norma Calder, who

will be meeting with our
support group on Mon-
day, May 4 at 7:30 p.m. in
the Education Room, of

Mills Memorial Hospital. .

This is a very special
event because Dr. Calder
and her physician — hus-

band have had. the per--
sonal misfortune of hav-.

ing some members of their
own family become: -ill
with Schizophrenia.
Therefore, Dr.-Calder will

be speaking from a per-

sonal level, as well as pro- —

fessional. Only those peo-

. ple whose loved ones have

been afflicted by this dif-:
ficult medical disorder can
truly know

heartbreaking it is.

Recently, I overheard a.

_ person remark: ‘“‘No one-
is going to attend those

monthly meetings uniess
they are personally involv-
ed,’ Is this entirely true?
In the past year and a half,
we have had people come

to the meetings, who are

how.

very socially aware, care

deeply ‘about their fellow
human beings, and strive
to understand the problem
of Schizophrenia. ‘These
people have proved :to me
that ‘there are practical
solutions, as well as com-

munity services available, —

to assist the parents and
patients concerned.

The really important
message here, is: that if
you have a friend, hus-
band, wife, mother, sister,
brother, son, or daughter,
who has been diagnosed,
we can help you. Help be-
gins with self-education
and meeting others in the
‘same predicament.

TERRACE — The North-
west Community College
Mobile Computer Centre
recently conducted an
Electronic Mail, Hands-
on Workshop.

by Daniele Berquist

Instructors for the
workshop were Rainer
Giannelia and Karen
‘Deakin.

Giannelia said the
workshop was very much
in demand throughout the
rest of the college region.
As a special feature, par-
ticipants of the seminar
had the opportunity to
send at least one letter
through electronic mail
which could be delivered

to a relative or a friend

anywhere in North Ameri-
ca. The letters reached

their destination the next

tronic mail.

day, added Giannelia,
Deakin explained fur-
ther the benefit of elec-
“It’s just
great’’, What a person
basically does is use their

home or business com-

puter to electronically
send or store messages
that would normally be

sent over the telephone

system verbally, or hard
copy through the- mail,

etc... Deakin added the.

advantage of the system is
economical as well as
prompt.

Over the past year this
same type of workshop
has been offered on a con-
tract training basis to
businesses in the region.
We're pleased to be able
to offer the seminar to the
general. public, in a joint
venture between the col-
lege and B.C. Telephone

Company.

The Mobile Home
Computer Centre has also
offered workshops open

to everyone on topics such,

as computer accounting,
spreadsheeting, integrated
software and the current
electronic mail series. .

Over the past months,
added Giannelia, the Cen-
tre has attracted the atten-
tion of a Vancouver Radio
Station hot, line interview
as well as some articles
printed in the Globe and
Mail.

Another’ workshop is
scheduled for tomorrow, .
Thursday, April 30, at the
Terrace campus from 6
p.m, to 9 p.m.

Pre-registration is a
must to be able to attend,
said Deakin.

’ Let us show Dr, Calder
.the hospitality for which
the north has always been
known.
