celebrate,

‘Dorothy had arrived in

YVONNE MOEN

week before and had been
staying with Suzanne in
Prince George. No one let
the cat out of the bag, and

‘both parents were equally

surprised to see her,

Then Les presented his
wife with a huge bouquet of
50 red roses. It was quite an

eventful evening.
The next evening, Les and
Dorothy were told to be

. teady to go out at 7 p.m. To

limousine drove up in front
of the house to pick them
up. They were handed a
drink and then taken for a
fide around Terrace and
Thornhill before returning
lo the Kin Hut, where more
than 50 friends and relatives
walted for them.

daughters presented them
with gold medals that had
been inscribed with "for sur-
viving 50 years of marriage

Lambert brothers are’still biking

PEDAL POWER: James (left) and Jon Lambert are

half way through their bike trip across the country.

TWO TERRACE brothers
biking across Canada are
right on track for making it
to St. John’s, Newfoundland
on Canada day.

James, 19, and Jon Lam-
bert, 16, have already biked
through Ontario, their half
way mark, and are well into
Quebec, ‘

The Lamberts _ started
pedalling April 18 from Port
Hardy on Vancouver Island
and hope to make it to St.
John’s on July 1st.

To avoid heavy traffic,
they have been sticking to
secondary highways.

They decided to pedal
across Canada ‘‘to see the
country,’’

And, so far, they've seen a
lot.

According to their parents,
John and Cathy Lambert,
they have made a lot of new
friends and have discovered
some wonderful cities, Win-
nipeg in particular,

On the road, they’ve met
cyclists from the U.S. and
Japan. One Canadian they
biked by was walking across

Johannah lowered her eyes.
“He tried to.grope me!"

The gitls froze,

"Like before?”

“Exactly.”

Dead silence.

Johannah looked up, her face tear-stained,
“Walt tilt | tell you about the creep. | stil

The friends huddled close to her.

"
Johannah booked around, pulled her friends

"That horror? What did he do now?"

Then one after another whispered.

‘You BE THE JUDGE.
College Trouble

“Look, Johannah is sitting by herself in the
cafeteria, Let's find out what's wrong.”

The four friends, weighted down with their
books dashed over to Johannah.

When Micheal got the phone call to attend
the disciplinary meeting,

“Who do they think th
I'm guilty! How can | prepare a defense in
less than a day? The college doesn't even
have a policy on sexual harassment.”

The next morning, Micheal spoke before
the hearing. The committee made their deci-
sion on the spal.

“Suspended for four years."

Micheal rushed to his father’s lawyer.

“Sue the college.”

Micheal was furious, “Your Honour, my
future is on hold and | don't know why.

“He tried the same with me,’

Johannah suddenly stood up.

‘Would you complain to the college
administration?”

The five girls stomped into the Dean's Office
and lodged their compiainis of sexual
harassment. ;

The next day, the college administrators
were called to an emergency disciplinary

hearing.

The president of the college acdressed the
ream. :

"We have a complaint of sexual harassment.
it we don't act immediately, our reputation in
the community will be ruined,’

One of the younger administrators spoke up.

"That so-called ‘creep’ must be allowed to
speak in his defense.”

The president relented, “Call the creep in for

doing something wrong. There wasn't any
sexual harassment policy. | find out about
the hearings a day beforel_| wasn’t given a
chance to defend myself. This whole situa-
tion is unfair, Make the College litt my 4 year
suspension.”

Indignantly, the collage stated, "Your
Honour, this case shouldn't even be in court.
We made a perfectly valid internal decision
based on our procedures. You have no pow-
er to change It. We had a dralt sexual har-
assment policy from which we made our
decision. Micheal shouldn't need a policy to
know what behavior is acceptable, Dismiss
this ridiculous casel” ;

Should Micheal’s suspension be lifted?

the country.

The cyclists haven’t run
into any major problems
along the way, thanks to
maps and their parents, who
are helping them research
routes ahead.

Everything but the
weather in Ontario has been
cooperative, They were
stopped by hail and heavy
rain in Sudbury last week,

Jon and James ride about
six hours a day, and have
been able to camp most of
the time.

What’s surprised them,
said their mother, is how
kind Canadians have been,
They have been offered ac-
commodations on several
occasions in most provinces,

The hardest part of their
trip, so far, was the grueling
20-mile climb to Crowsnest
Pass, especially since each
of them are carrying 50 tbs
of gear. Strong headwinds
on the prairies also made
every pedal a chore.

Both Lamberts were born
and raised in Terrace, so this
ride has -taught them a lot
about what the rest of Cana-
da is like. They are im-
pressed with how beautiful
itis, their mom said,
