Phitip Musseiman photo Students raise funds TERRACE — Students from Terrace to Williams Lake were busy this past month selling raffle tickets to raise money for their many school band projects. New instruments, music and uniforms were just a few of the items students were attempting to raise funds to buy. In an effort to assist these band students, Ter- race Sight and Sound sponsored the raffle, and provided all the tickets and prizes. Each school was able to keep the money they raised which was well over $7,000 in total. Over 8,000 of these young musicians, the best from Canada, gathered in Vancouver in May to compete in the Canadian Music Festival held this year at Expo. Regional champion bands from Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert, Burns Lake, and Prince George, chosen in the competitions held in Ter- race last March, fared well. Bronze awards were won by Caledonia Senior Secondary School from Terrace and Lakes District Secondary School from Burns Lake. Richard Kean of Kitimat was chosen for the Honors Band. Terrace Sight and Sound is pleased to an- nounce the results of the raffle. First prize of a microwave oven was won by Jake Wiebe from. Burns Lake. Second prize of a Sanyo portable was awarded to Jay Prill from Prince George, and third prize, a Kodak camera, was won by Luane Lulua from Williams Lake. There were 17 winners for a case of Pepsi. The four local winners from Terrace were W. Bachynsky, G. LeGel, Moira Sheridan, and S. Lindsay. All and all a total of $7,304 was raised.

No new fires were reported in the Kalum Forest District during the past week, said Gerry Dodd, District Manager for the B.C. Forest Ser- vice. Fire danger over the past few days has been low but with present warm, dry weather, the fire hazard is expected to climb up to moderate and high. The Ministry of Forests requests that everyone exercise cau- tion with fire if they are travelling in the woods. Anyone spotting a fire can report the blaze by calling Zenith 5555. tended the ‘‘Paint In’’, said Ed Harrison, teacher at Caledonia school. The Grad Committee thought by painting signs and placing them throughout the commun- ity it would promote the “Grad Spirit.” Harrison added that it’s also a possible alter- native to the students painting on the rocks. Already Terrace residents can see brightly painted Grad °86 signs appearing around the community in various places. Harrison said the signs will remain up as long as they are not violating private property. The Caledonia Grad Committee, along with Ed Harrison, would like to thank Terrace In- teriors for donating the paint that the students used, and Terrace Builders Center for help- ing out with the plywood needed. Kinsmen assist class of ‘86 TERRACE — This year, as they have for the past five years, the Kinsmen Club of Terrace will be working with the Caledonia graduating class, the Terrace RCMP and community busi- nesses to provide a safe environment for gradua- tion festivities. by Doug Watt Terrace Contributor Members of the Kinsmen Club sponsor and chaperone the After Grad Dance at the Ter- race Arena. The dance, which is organized and funded by the graduating students through their Grad Committee, pro- vides an outlet for the grads to celebrate throughout the night. In 1985, more than 200 grads attended the event. To ensure that the grad’s evening is safe as well as enjoyable, the Kinsmen inaugurated a free taxi service for the grads four years ago. Started as a service the Kinsmen provided with their own vehicles, it is now supported by Ter- race businesses and last year provided almost 500 riders with a safe means of transportation. Grads are given a phone number they may call at any time throughout the night for transportation to the dances and parties and for rides home. Radio controlled vehicles driven by Kinsmen offer a ‘door to door’’ ser- vice. The Kinsmen also provide transportation for the grads from their dance to the after grad breakfast. The vehicles for the Grad Taxi Service are provided by Avis Rent a Car, Budget Car. and Truck Rentals, Farwest Bus Lines, Tilden Rent a Car, the Salvation Army and Totem Beverages. The project is also sup- ported by B.C. Tel, Loomis Courier Service and the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine.

School district billed TERRACE The School District 88 board of trustees was informed at the June 10 meeting that, despite its recent withdrawal BCSTA, the district is being billed for 1986-87 fees by the provincial organization. The board voted to get out of the BCSTA at its May meeting, although the trustees were aware that the BCSTA terms of membership specify a minimum of one year’s notice for such action. The board decided at that time that the withdrawal would be ef- fective June 30, 1986. District superinten- dent Frank Hamilton stated after the June meeting that the item had been tabled until the next board meeting in September. In the in- tervening time, he said, from the’ the board has no inten- tion of paying any fur- ther fees to the BCSTA. A number of local boards around B.C. have pulled out of the BCSTA in the past year, and several of those boards did so oa short notice. Hamilton stated that, up — to this point, no collec- tion actions regarding the fees has been taken anywhere in B.C. OneComet .
