WGI16 Terrace Review — Wednesday, Feb. 26, 1986

Local resident creat

centerpieces with a
sporting motif

A background in Arts
and Crafts with a great
imagination, a few pur-
chases and donations,
and many long hours of
putting them all to-
gether, has resulted in
the production of a series
of B.C. Winter Games
special table centerpieces
and decorative bears by
‘Cathy Morgan of Ter-
race,

Morgan started work
on her creations late last
summer. The sport dolls
are based on an Ameri-
ean doll called ‘‘Stump-
kins’’, To make them she
stuffs panty hose with a
fibre filler, molds the
doll into shape and sews
it up to stay firm.

Eyes and mouths are

added by buttons or
marking pencil, then
dressed up in mini-
toques and, in some
cases, sweaters and
pants. For the costumes,
she acquired single sheets
of wool yarn and sewed
them together, adding
tassles on the toques in a
different color. Much
yarn was donated by
Pat's Knit Shop.

Kermode Bears

The dolls were then
mounted on small slabs
of treated wood and set
in position for the par-
ticular sport involved. In
some cases extras were
added, like wooden
tongue depressors for

Upbeat sound
soars with
inspiring lyrics

Writing the official
B.C, Winter Games
(Terrace) Song was a
labor of love for Joanne
Houlden of Terrace.

Houlden is a young
woman who has made
music an important part
of her life from the time
she was a small child.

At 28, Houlden, who
is married and the
mother of a five-year-old
son, spends as much time
as she can spare from
daily duties writing
music and lyrics in a
variety of categories.
Her keyboard has pro-
duced an impressive
number of compositions
including some of a
classical nature, while
others are in the pop-
rock or country cross-
over category.

When Houlden first
heard of the B.C, Winter
Games songwriting con-
test through a friend, she
immediately set about
trying to put the right
lyrics to the right music.
Her completed work was
submitted and ultimately
selected as the official
Winter Games musical
hallmark.

Houlden and her
brother, Jim Larkin, did
vocals on a_ recording
which was produced in
Terrace late last year
under the direction of
recording technician An-
drew Paulitseh. A back-
up band was organized
comprised of Jean Ray-
mond (bass guitar), Lor-
na Sandhals (keyboard),
Jim Ryan (saxophone),
and Jim Ljungh and
Wayne L’Strange (per-
cussion).

It was also beautifully
rendered by the Veritas

School Choir during the
Torchlighting Cere-
monies in November.

It’s a rousing number
with an upbeat sound
and inspiring lyrics.
Listen for it —- you’ll like
it.

skis, toy plastic racquet
for net sports, and
styrofoam for balls or
pucks.

Cathy made up at least
three dozen centerpieces
which have been and will
be used at various din-
ners, luncheons and
receptions, The actual
total was 12 large-sized
and 30 small-sized
pieces.

She also put together
three Kermode Bears,
one huge bear and a
couple of smaller ones.
To make these she used
acrylic pile, styrofoam,
fibre fill and beads.

She didn’t do all the
work by herself. Cathy’s
three youngsters —
Bethaney, Michael and
Sarah, all contributed to
mom?’s hard work.

Cathy is hard at work
constructing two adult-
sized dolls and two child-
sized dolls which will be
arranged in an outdoor
display at Premier Bill
Bennett’s game-opening
reception.

Cathy Morgan has cer-
tainly done her part to
make the B.C. Winter
Games an enjoyable
event.
