Her travels have taken her to communities large and small all: over B,C.,, the Yukon and Nor- thwest Territories, Each stop has included visits to local schools where she tries to counteract the persistent theme Tess Tessier of violence she says dominates all forms of entertainment these days. Helping her deliver the message is a distinctive entourage of 12 dogs and one cat, known as The Dogooders, ‘'The dogs are all dif- ferent shapes and sizes but they all get along with each other,” Tessier said. That harmony often puzzled her young audience but questions such as “Why don’t they fight?”’ gave her the opportuni- ty to point out conflict need not occur simply because the animals were different. “We must learn to live with each other,’ she said, adding tolerance was especially i important given the multicultural make-up of society today. ‘‘Our theme is caring and sharing.” Known then as Tess Brousseau (Tessier is her maiden name), she arrived in the northwest in 1958, She and her husband homesteaded in Rosswood until 1965 when the family moved into town because it was time for the older boys to attend high school. Over the next 10 years she raised her family of six boys and one girl as well as working for the Zerrace Herald and News Advertiser newspapers. When in 1975 the last of her children “left the nest’? — her hus- band had earlier died of cancer — she decided it was time to “‘fulfill my dreams, so Isold the house, bought a motorhome and I’ve been on the road ever since,” Tessier recalled. Those wandering ways are, however, about to come to an end. Tessier said she will now settle in Penticton — her daughter lives there — and pursue her new career as writer/ publisher of children’s books, She has already published her first story, Jceberg Tea, a story of visiting the Arctic as ‘“‘told’' by Gigi, the little canine who holds pride of place as the first Dogooder. While the book outlines something of Inuit culture and the flora/fauna of the region, it also encourages the reader “‘to see and think about the value of compas- sion, understanding and respect for all life, human and non- human 4. 3.. It is also the first i ina series in which Tessier intends to have each of her Dogcoders tell their:own story, a e s Bikers ride high Although final figures have yet to be compliled, it appears the total raised by northwestern motorcyclists on their recent Ride for Sight will account for close to one third of the pro- vincial total. Co-ordinator James Gilham said approximately 30 of thé 80 participants collected pledges totalling $6,276 and an addi- tional $1,000 was raised at an auction held during the weekend gathering. He said the Terrace Roadrunners club — they hosted the Ride this year — had decided to make a further contribution out of their funds to round the figure up to $7,500, That compared to the provincial interim total of $21,800. However, Gilham pointed out the results of two Rides have yet to come in, Top money-raiser locally was Gary McAvoy of Terrace who collected $1,118 in pledges. Next most successful was P.J. McPhail of Houston with $811 with five other riders top- ping $500. With more than $825,000 already confirmed, Gilham said the final national total was expected to be close to $1 million, All money raised goes towards research on the eye disease retinal pigmentosis. Top gardeners sought For those who put in the work necessary to have a well- kept and attractive garden, the finished product is usually satisfaction enough. However, the Beautification society thinks local green thumbs deserve public recognition for their efforts. Spokesman George Clark judging in the annual Beautifica- tion Contest would take place the second week of August with winners being selected in four categories. Those are residen- tial, commercial, Industrial and — a new caiegory — most improved. Pointing out a nomination was required to enter, Clark ex- plained it was simply not possible for judges to cover every street in the community, ‘‘We might miss out on a very beautiful property and that would be unfair,” he added. However, householders and businesses could nominate themselves for consideration, He said the society would an- nounce where nomination forma could be picked up im the near future. Last call is entrigs ; Anyone still working on that winning poster design for the Northwest Alcohol and Drug Services contest i is reminded the deadline for entries is this Saturday. NWADS program director June Campbell sald the contest — it offers prize money totalling $1,500 — has proved very popular with local artists. = =. **The poster should depict a positive message for responsi- ble substance use and have a strong visual impact," she sald, adding the winning entry would be used by NWADS to pro- mote Its work. . rs beds Ri beteiittalibeitin Mal reest fal 4
