‘Dedication tat | ,

_ '. Contibuted by
Terrace Pentecostal Assembly
' ‘Since we broke ground in
April of 1989 until the dedica-
tion on October 7, 1990 of the
new sanctuary of the Terrace

Pentecostal Assebly, 18 months —

have passed, 15,000 volunteer
hours have been worked and
hundreds of gallons of coffee
have been drank.

But we made it.

On Thanksgiving Sunday we
held our first service in the
facilities. Present for this ser-
vice. was Lester Markham,
District Superintendent of B.C.
& Yukon. District of the
Pentecostal Assemblies of
Canada. He serves the 155 chur-
ches of this denomination in
this province.

On Thanksgiving Sunday at
2:30 p.m. the official dedication
took place. Many friends from
the community came and par-

ticipated i in this time of celebra-
tion. Members from
Pentecostal congregations - in
‘Kitimat and Prince Rupert came
as well. Terrace Mayor, Jack
Telstra, brought greetings on
behalf of the city, there was
much music and a reception
followed.

This is the fourth building in
the church’s 58 year history.
Having a seating capacity of 500

_ or so, the building covers 14,400

feet of space. With the comple-
tion of the sanctuary and foyer
the first phase is complete. Con-
tinued work on the perimeter
class rooms will bring to com-
pletion the second phase.

John Caplin, who is in his
tenth year as Pastor of the con-
gregation, feels that the facilites
should be adequate for a few
years and commended the con-

gregation for it’s vision, com-
mitment and support in pro-

BIG DAY. There was a large turnout al the entecostal Assembly's

dedication ceremony for its recently completed sanctuary.

viding a place where people
might find spiritual help. He
also gave thanks to God for His

provision and guidance,
All in all it was a great day of

. thanksgiving and dedication.

Workshops work —

“Its been a full two days,”
commented Canadian National
Institute for the Blind (CINIB)
area representative Wendy
Goebel following a recent two
day visit lo Terrace.

And that was good news
because it underlined the suc-
cess of the CNIB’s workshops
held here.

With the first day of the ses-
sion devoted to providing local
health care professionals with
information about the services
offered by CNIB, she said she
was pleased with the turnout
which included public health
sector and home support, group
home and Terraceview Lodge

| Thanks ,

Dear sir: ;

On behalf of the Roadrun-
ners Motorcycle club of Ter-
race, E would like to thank
the individuals and
businesses that made the re-
cent Toy Run so successful.

‘Thanks also to the

Terrace Harley Davidson
Riders to put gas tanks where
patrons could Jeave dona-
tions in prominent locations
in their establishments. As a
result, more than $850 was
raised to kick-off the Salva-
tion Army’s Christmas cam-
paign. .

Few people know — and
that’s the way he likes it —
Gary McAvoy spearheads
the gas tank campaign and
then canvasses the bikers for
more!

The total that can be at-
tributed to his efforts in-
cludes more than just the gas
tank funds. Yes, this is the
same guy who raised over
$1,000 by himself for R.P.
eye research during the Ride
for Sight held earlier this
year, Thank you very much,
Gary.

Last and biggest thanks
goes to the many motorcycle
riders who continue to sup-
port the Toy Run. Without
their participation it
wouldn't be the same. The
two-block long parade of
bikes turns heads and awakes
the community to the fact
that Christmas isn’t so far
away. Roadrunners is an ac-
tive, but small group and it is
all those other riders who ral-
ly to. the call that make it a
spectacle worth stopping for.

The eighth annual Toy
Run raised nearly $1,000 and
more than 100 toys to start
the Saivation Army's cam-
paign. which benefits people
in both Kitimat and Terrace.
It was just a start and now
it’s. time for everyone to help
the less fortunate.

_ Thank you again to all in-
volved.

, Yours,

James Gilham,

workers,

Also successful was the se-
cond day workshop for CNIB
clients. Pointing out her
workload usually allowed only
three or four visits to Terrace,
she said ‘‘lt was an opportunity
for me to meet more of them.”

Goebel said clients heard
from sight enhancement nurse
Val Derham, rehabilitation
teacher Linda Evans and orien-
tation/mobility specialist Lor-
raine Taylor, adding they were

quick to take the opportunity to -

discuss matters of interest with
them once the formal pro-
ceedings had ended.

Such sessions were impor-

tant, she said, because blindness
often meant previously indepen-
dent people. “‘suddenly find
they're having to do things dif-
ferently.*? The workshop had
outlines how the CNIB could
help,
wkkekk:

This week is Blind Awareness
Week and members of the local
Downtown and Centennial
Lions clubs will be asking
residents to help them in their
efforts to raise money for the
CNIB.

Centennial secretary-
treasurer Ray Tremblay said the
two clubs were joining forces to
conduct door-to-door and

business canvasses and “hoped
. those approached during the
campaign would be generous in
their support.

Seymour's story

All through elementary
school, Seymour hated reading.
In fact, he would avoid almost
any kind of desk work, was
hyperactive and _ easily
distracted, and soon regarded
seachers and counsellors as “‘the
enemy”.

Seymour had above average
intelligence, a supportive fami-
ly, and did not have a learning
disability. Yet he was getting
poor grades and reading a year
below his age level. Special
testing and a school vision
screening. revealed no iden-
tifiable problems.

In desperation, his mother
asked the family optometrist to
do a full eye examination. It
was then that the doctor
discovered that Seymour had a
vision problem, even though he
could ‘see 20/20°’. Seymour's
optometrist prescribed a special

pair of glasses to match focus-
ing and pointing of the eyes at
the reading distance. He also
had Seymour do specific eye ex-
ercises for several months to
help strengthen the underlying
weakness. Seymour was soon
able to catch up to his
classmates — and he no longer
hated school.

His mother, much relieved,
was able to smile when Seymour
teased “I should have been
named .‘‘See-less’’. But op-
tometrists find that Seymour's
case is all too common. A
child’s ability to perform visual
tasks depends on. the brain’s
ability to synchronize thinking
and seeing. If for any reason,
visual skills — focusing, depth
perception, tracking, aiming
and teaming the eyes, etc, — are
not working well, it may place
great strain on the child.

Seymour’s attention was:

spread between trying to make
his visual system work, and
understanding the material.
Good vision is not simply
good sight, but-the result of a

complex series of tasks, per-'

formed - well;
muscles, the eyes, and the brain.
The B.C. Association of Op-
tometrists recommends all
children have a thorough eye ex-
amination by the age of three,
and regular eye exams during
their school years.
