Teens help out Cameron

Troubled youths turn to the healing circle

RACIAL TENSIONS between
youths are a hot topic in town,

Especially after a non-native
Caledonia grad loses his legs
beneath a train and the youth
charged with attempted murder
for pushing him is native. ,

But according to one group of
teens such tensions exist only. in
the smal! minds of some parents,

Enter the Responding Teens
and Parents Group.

About 15 teens, most. native,
showed up for a recent meeting of

the group to count the money ~

they raised from a May 15 non-
alcoholic dance. .

Nearly 150. students aitended
the dance al the arena banquet
room and $1,100 was raised.

All of it is ear-marked for a
trust fund for Cameron Davis.

- “Byerybody was

“I’d be awesome if we could
get the whole amount. of the
money for him,” says one youth.

Youth worker Greg McQuarrie,

"who" participates in the group,

says the March 31st accident has
beena catalyst for local teens and
street kids.

Tt gives them the feeling that
they can actually do something
worthwhile,’” he explained.

recalls one teen. ‘If could have
happened to any of us. We just
want to find a way to help.”’

“To us — to people who know

him — it’s like having your
brother there in the hospital with
no legs,” says another.

And the group says most adulls

_ blew the situation out of propor-

lion — and weren’t around to
help either. °

‘*Where were the parents when
this happened?’ one demanded.
“We had to help each other.’’

A ‘lot of kids tried to quit

tecalls,

Some succeeded, some have
not,

Many are still troubled and are
irying to unlock their feelings.

Fifly-cight students turned up at
the Skeena Jr. Secondary gym-

nasium the weekend after the ac-
cident for a healing circle
cércmony.

Sweat lodge organizer Joanne
Peters and others have held a
series of sweat lodges since then
for teens troubled by the incident.

The sweat lodge they’re using,
incidentally, is one Davis helped
them build in three-foot deep
snow on Jan. 3.

Most of the youths in the group
knew Davis before the accident.

They particd with him, and
many considered him a friend.

Now they’re trying to help him.

“They're being role madels for
their parents — that’s what
they’re doing,’’ McQuarrie says,

SALVATION ARMY

A changing of the guard

By GLENN DREXHAGE
ERRACE IS losing a
pair of lieutenants.
The husband and
wife team of Lt

Mike and Li. Lee Anne Hoeft
will be feaving town to take up a
new Salvation Army: posting in
Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

-The couple, who lived in Ter-
race for three years along with
their (three-year-old son Matthew
and two-year-old daughter Sarah,
will be leaving on June 28. A re-
placement is planned, but no de-

Although the Hoefts were very
involved in church and com-
munity services while in Terrace,
they became committed to the or-
ganization much earlier.

-Mike’ Hoeft was born into the
church community in Regina in

“We felt that God had called us

Slimy
memories
sought

PORT EDWARD — Ever
worked the slime line in a north
coast cannery? Ever pulled roe, or
packed eggs for a living?

Then Gladys Blyth and the Oral
History Committee of the North
Pacific Cannery Village Museum
Sociely in Port Edward wants to
hear from you.

Blyth, the author of Salmon
Canneries , British Columbia
North Coast and A History of
Port Edward, 1907-1970, hopes
to put together a historical des-
cription of the life-style and cul-
ture of cannery workers all along
the coast. -

The commitice wants to get at
least 100 interviews with people
who lived and worked at the can-
neries, focusing on senlors who
lived the lifestyle from childhood
to retirement.

Seven of the 10 peopic.on the
committee are themselves seniors
who will be looking at both the
social and technical aspects of
working at 4 fish cannery.

**Much of the history lo date is
from the manager’s point of
view,’ Blyth said; “We would
like to.do a. cross-cultural oral
history of cannery village life.’

By focusing on north coast can-
neries, Blyth hopes to find more
people who remember such a life,

. “Further south, much of . the

populations | with * this life-style

_ have dispersed,”’ she noted. :

The results of the oral inter-
views will be transcribed and
stored at the North Coast Cannery
Museum archives.

The history commiltee received
$5,700 from the federal govem-

‘ment’s New Horizon’s Projec, a ,

program for seniors. ; .
