B10 Terrace Review — Wednesday, January 9, 1991 Help from. Kinsmen. lessens. sting of medical expenses | by Harriett Fjaagesund Nine-year-old Knute Olson of Terrace is a pretty normal kid. He likes model trucks, figuring out big-puzzles, playing with his friends, all the normal stuff kids do. He’s positively. bursting with energy and enthusiasm. It’s al- - most hard to believe Knute was born with severe club feet and ; a clasp thumb. Just two hours after their = son’s birth, Patti and Ken Olson |: were informed by Dr. W.L. Redpath that both Knute’s feet F and ankles would have to be put in casts, and that he would re- | quire further treatment at Van- couver Children’s Hospital. The first round of treatments lasted more than four weeks. Then, after only three weeks back home, they were off to Vancouver again. This was a cy- cle that was to be repeated six times a year for the next five years, tapering off to only three trips in 1988, and now once every six months. Knute will need treatment, more operations and new casts until he stops growing. The financial burden on the average family would be stagger- ing, but the Olsons were put in touch with the Terrace Kinsmen from the very first day, and Knute’s mother explains that they’ve been wonderful. The Terrace Kinsmen, with funds raised by the Kinsmen Mothers’ March, supply the airfare to and from Vancouver, which to date amounts to approximately $40,000. Patti Olson says Knute takes the whole thing right in stride, and that his biggest goal right now is to get his feet straighten- ed out so they don’t poke him anymore. Knute often accom- panies his parents (weather per- mitting) on the door-to-door Kinsmen Mothers’ March because it’s something he likes to do. So when a Mothers’ March volunteer calls at your door this month, please give generously. - Your dollars go a long way to helping those in need. do it.

In Hazelton, the regional district director won by acclamation and the aldermanic race posed no great questions, but a couple of referenda were photo finishes. A referendum for a new library won, according to the count, but failed, because it wasn’t unanimous. A referendum for Two Mile fire protection failed by one vote, but it doesn’t really matter — the vole has been declared null and void and a new referendum will be held. The library referendum passed in Two Mile, 11-42. it Passed in 2 MORESO RTI PGA Rear eo Kispiox 30-10, But it failed in South Hazelton when 30 of 39 voters said "No". And the South Hazelton vote was the problem. The referendum required the approval of all three communities. So even though the final tally was 110 votes in favour and 82 against, there will be no new library for the Hazeltons. Two -Mile fire protection was a different matter. That referendum only concemed one community. The final vote of 44 against and only 43 in favour of fire protec- lion, though, still spelled defeat. But there’s a twist to this story. Due to a litile confusion in inter- preting the Municipal Act, two Two Mile residents were refused the right to vote. It seems the residents in question were long-term residents of the area but had only lived in Two Mile for a matter of weeks. But does that really matter? It did during the vote, but apparently it doesn’t now, Adding to the con- fusion was a failure to advertise a clear 10 days in advance. So the final result then is not "defeated", according to the regional district board, it’s "inconclusive". So when wili thls new referen- dum be held? No one knows... yet. The regional board has agreed 4 new referendum is fair, but they have tabled the matter until they get a final report from the return- ing officer. 1 oe ee | cHupen “DIRECTORY Thou shalt not bear false - witness against thy neighbor.
