6: Terrace Review — Woda: January 27, 1988 Commentary Loose thoughts on food and by Stephanie Wiebe Some people will eat anything. Have you heard of the latest food craze in the lower mainland? ‘‘Sour Toe Soup’’, It's chicken broth simmered with an amputated human toe in it. Pretty revolting, eh? Sipping this soup must be the 780’s: equivalent to swallowing goldfish. It takes a certain type of per- son to eat abnormal and disgusting food. Take escargot, for example, a supposed gourmet delight. How can anyone actually enjoy eating a creature so closely related to a slimy fat slug? And caviar. What a disappointment to discover that caviar tastes just like fish eggs. Surely these gourmets are just faking their enjoyment, in a pretense.of hav- ing some class. Occasionally in the grocery store, Til notice packets of chicken’s feet or pig knuckles. Do people actually eat these things? Think about where chicken’s feet have been — they’! walk through anything. If Big Band Dance a SUCCESS _ Pe wr eect et ree reent Lette To the Editor; On behalf of the Terrace and Thornhill Band Parents Associa- tion, I would like to thank all those who’ helped with the 1987 Big Band Dance. 1 especially want to thank the Board of School District 88, and the staff of Caledonia Senior Secondary School for permitting us the use of school facilities; and the mer- chants of the Skeena Mall for their donations of prizes. A number of individuals also deserve a special thanks. They are: Donna Graf, who organized the food for the dinner; Brian Lopston and the students from Northwest Community College who organized bar service; Judi Anderson, who took charge of decorations, and Joy, Bill and Sandra Adams for decorations and picture taking; Sharon Fell, who took reservations and organized tables; and the Fell family who turned out the next morning for clean-up. I would also like to thank Robyn Bagg for her ability to overcome many obstacles and see that the dance was held, and a success. A very special thanks goes to the Bandmasters Big Band who provided the music, and to Doug Smith who acted as Emcee, Thank you, too, to the school band directors, their students, and many parents, who worked hard in many different ways to _ make the 13th Annual Big Band Dance a success. Without their help it would not have been possible. And to all those who attended, thanks for supporting us, Funds raised will benefit the many band and choir students in ; the Terrace/Thornhill area. Gloria Jones, Secretary Terrace and Thornhill _ ‘Band Parents Association the flu God had intended us to eat things like that, Swanson’s would put it in a T.V. dinner. At least we can be grateful that these people have to eat this stuff in the privacy of their own home. The day that fast food chains start serving McSnails, then we're really in trouble. And... The Russians are making my life miserable. We should’ve known, that with Reagan and Gorbachev’s talk of nuclear peace, there would be some sneaky strategies going on, but | didn’t expect this — germ war- fare in. Terrace. At first I thought it was just the flu again. But with the third flu bout ‘this winter, 1 remembered that Canada lies between the two superpowers, and that nuclear weapons are now a no-no. Obviously, they’re experimenting with germ war- fare, in the typical Canadian small town of Terrace. So how do we know that it’s the Rus- sians? Well, I’ve heard of the ‘Russian flu’’, but I’ve never heard of the ‘“‘American flu’’. And isn’t Reagan always telling us how untrustworthy and underhanded those commies are? | It was casy to infiltrate our population. They simply install an infected agent in one of the elementary schools, have him spit on the drinking fountain, _and wahilah! Anstant epidemic. They're probably still out there roaming our streets, spitting on any doorknob, mailbox, or library book. Any object that the unsuspecting public handles will spread this annoying flu. You may have caught it by reading this article. We can only fight back with Pepto Bismo! and ginger ale. But while you’re riding out this Russian flu, why not dash off a note to Mikhail Gorbachev — and sneeze on it.

But Kitimat roared back and had an 11-9 victory at the final buzzer. Lafluer and Shutt showed they still have a lot of sting left in their sticks as they scored four and three goals, respectively.
