B6 Terrace Review — Wednesday, February 28, 1990

Bits ‘n’ Pieces — by Alle Toop

Sunday, Feb. 18 was the
start of Heritage Week in Ter-
race. The Terrace Arena ban-
quet room was the place where
the celel:-ations were held. The
theme this year was A Heritage
of Song and Dance. And sing
and dance they did.

The afternoon started off
with the music of the ever-
popular Terrace Pipes and
Drv_.s. They are a great group
and . ways ready to perform
wheiever they are asked to.
That goes for the other groups
and individuals as well. The
Native singers from E.T. Ken-
ney school sang a song in the —
Gitksan language about a bear.
The Girls Guides sang some of
their favorite songs, and some
of Marylin Ds: ies’ students
from the Academy played dif-
ferent pieces on the piano.

A great variety of dances
were perform: |. The Skeena
square dancers, the Vicki Par-
viainen dancers and Kenna and
Allanna Turcotte all delighted
the audience with their skills
and talent. And what would a
Heritage Day be without some
original old time French Cana-
dian fiddling? Norm Desjardin
and Vern Zilinski are two
talented fiddle players. It is
that toe-tapping beat that does
it to you every time.

The Grand Finale was grand,
to say the least. Four young-
sters showed us ‘‘Tinikling’’,
the Filipino stick dance. This

dance was the icing on the
cake, it was like a delicious
dessert after a perfect dinner.
The kids practised every day
for weeks and when they did
something wrong, they would
start all over again. They were
delightful. The audience
showed their appreciation with
applause and the kids were
asked to perform the dance one
more time. Beckie Buck and
Carlo Desierto were the stick
handlers, and Erda San Luis
and Camilo Desierto were the
dancers.

A big Thank You goes to all
the performers, to have made
the afternoon the success it
was. It all was put together by
Mamie Kerby and the Terrace
Regional Museum Society, the
Boy Scouts and Girl Guides,
and the Terrace Parks and
Recreation Dept.

One birthday in need of a
special mention is Beth
Holtom’s. She celebrated her
94th birthday on Feb. 19.

-. Beth was born in Austria-
Hungary, which became Yugo-
slavia during World War I. She
was five and a half years old
. when she came across the
“waters with her parents by slow
“boat: The crossing took a
whole month. They first settled

amen pe iepe ste ee

in Indian Head, Sask. Some

_ time later, when her parents

got enough money together,
they moved on to a homestead
in the Wayburn District. Then
it took another three years of
saving enough money to buy a
couple of oxen, a cow and
some pigs. As was.done in
those days, they built
themselves a sod house. It was
in the same district that Beth
Holtom received her schooling.

She married in 1921 and they
had three children. It was in
1953 that the family moved to
Terrace. Her husband passed
away in 1968. Mrs. Holtom has
been a member of the Old Age
Pensioners’ Organization ever
since it started in Terrace, and
she has lived in the Willows
since it was built. Mrs. Holtom
has four grandchildren and one
great-grandchild.

Family and friends gathered
at the Happy Gang Centre on
her birthday to help her
celebrate the occasion. I'd like
to add my best wishes for con-
tinued good health and hap-
piness.

OOPS, just want to set the
record straight. That great pic-
ture in last week’s paper of the
1911 car accident was not in
Terrace. Only on the prairie,
where a person has unob-
structed view, could something
like that happen.

Not that it matters much, it
is still a great shot.

Here’s a little bit of trivia for
you. Did you know that the
world’s first automobile was in-
vented, built and driven in
Mannheim, Germany by Carl
Benz in 1885?

Last week being Guide and
Scout week, I ran into Ken
McDames and Hedy Smith.
They are both very much in-
volved in the scouting move-
ment. Their troops are spon-
sored by the Kermode Friend
ship Centre.

Ken is a Cub Scout leader.
They found that there was a
need to form a group for the
younger kids, and so the
Beavers got their start last fall.
Hedy became the Beaver
leader. They tell me they hope
to go co-ed, and are waiting
for word from head office. The
parents of the children are also
involved. They are part of a
committee, with Ken McDames
as chairman, that thinks of
ideas for raising funds. One of
those ways is by delivering the.
new telephone books. Guiding
and Scouting is probably one
of the oldest movements in the
world, and certainly one of the
best.

Have you ever made a
chocolate marble cheesecake?
If you are a cheesecake con-
noisseur, or would like to become
one, then try the following
recipe. It is simple and one of
my favorite. Think about it, I
probably have a dozen
favorites. That is how many

. different cheesecakes we have
tried and they are all my

favorite. They’re full of
calories and sinfully delicious.
