Performer Rick Preston was in Terrace la Elvis Presley. Elvis impersonator — visits Terrace | By Barbara Gail Kennedy Four years before the death of Elvis Presley, who would have thought of im- ” personating the king of rock n' roll, Elvis Presley, a man who by the Church was branded as the Devil's Own. Rick Preston, who ap- peared recently at the Red D'or Cabaret in Terrace started his singing career at the age of fifteen. Born and raised in the Vancouver area, Rick's singing career began in Harrison Hot Springs. His singing ied him to New Westminster where he worked at the Flamingo Hotel in the beverage room in North Surrey, Rick got his first big break when he joined a recording group by the name of the FEDERAL CASES, which he was with off and on for six years. It was the, two weeks fore the. death of Elvis: group did a Tribute te Elvis Presley. The idea was well received, and Rick decided to stay with the idea of im- Construction workers personating Elvis Presley. On that New Years Eve at the Flamingo Hotel, Rick was approached to do his impersonation tribute full time, to which he agreed. Two of the Federal Cases group left the band to join Rick, which has led to their success today. "It was in the year of 1970 ‘Rick had his first recording called “‘Moody Blue", which was not in relation to Elvis Presley, but he felt it was, recorded at the wrong time. The Rick Preston Band has planned a tour and will spend the next few months on the road with steps such as Yorkton, Saskatchewan, for a two week engagement, one week in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, one week in Regina, two weeks in Courtney B.C., with a 3 “month tour package of the _: Yukon and Hawaian Islands.

The agreement only squeaked through the, first step of the union ratification procedure, however, when five smaller unions turned it down. Under the union bargaining council's con- stitution, all strike and ratification votes must be approved by the mem- bership of 12 of the 17 unions before the al] membership ballots are considered. Then a simple majority of all ballots is necessary. . The contract provides for an 31 cent an hour wage increase retroactive to April 30, followed by another 81 cents an hour in 1979, which is a 12 per cent pay raise aver two years. Construction Labor Relations Association, representing the con- tractors, has not finished ratifying the agreement bul president Chuck McVeigh said Monday that he did not Youll anticipate any problems. About 15,000 ballots were cast by construction workers, about half the current membership, Kinnaird said. FIRST YEAR It is the first year that the unions have negotiated under the auspices of a joint bargaining counell. ; The Operative Plasterers’ and Cement Masons’ In- ternational Association, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the International Brotherhood of Boiler- makers, the International Union of Elevator Con- structors and the In- ternational Association. of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental ironworkers rejected the agreement. “It's not without coin: . cidence thal some of these Same unions The cement masons, the boilermakers _and elevators constructors have been party to shut- downs of the industry in the past,’ Kinnaird said: The council was formed after Labor Minister Allan Willlams asked provincial labor relation board to look inte imposing one om the strike prone in- dustry la vo . ity AF LUNE, ALL WINNEAS NOTIFIED BY MAIL immediate plans at present, but there are possibilities of doing a show for television in. the future. As for Rick’s voice in comparison to Elvis Presley, Rick Preston has been the . closest since the. im- personations first started shortly after Elvis’ death. . When asked about the erowds Rick receives, he enjoys the variety he gets. As for problem crowds, there are a few jeers or com- motions. All in all he said the crowds were good. — The costumes for Rick Presten are specially made for him in Vancouver, by THE HOUSE OF BLUES SACK and his scarfs are made by a woman in Van- couver. The Band ranges in the age group from 19 to 26, Rick being the oldest... Janet: Ross,’ lead singer, Mark Leevi who plays drums, is new with the band, lead guitar is played by John Christopher, Kerri Yawki, keyboards, Randy Sheppard -plays bass, and Peanut Campbell is the lighting technician. ; The group travels a great deal. When asked how they relax, Rick explained they jog, do exercises, fix costumes, watch TV. and rehearse as much as they can. Rick wants to continue to sing as long as the public wants him. ‘As for the show at the Red: D'or, the crowd loved him, women squealed, and bounced in their chairs, and ‘clamoured for the scarfs Riven to the girls. Lights flashed off and on during the performance. Just to listen and go back to the days of our King of Rock it was the memory of our Elvis all over again. It was an evening well enjoyed by all. Thank you Rick Preston for a memory never to be lost.

Botulism is caused by the toxin produced by the bacteria, clostidium botulism which is found everywhere in the soil, Garden vegetables, because of their contact with the soil, are almost always infected ‘with this bacteria. Meats and especially seafoods are frequently contaminated as well. The bacteria, by itself is harmiess but the toxin it produces is probably the most poisonous substance know to man. A few ounces of the crystalline toxin is adequate to destroy the human race. Two other characteristics of clostridium botulism are that it can't tolerate oxygen "and that it can form ‘heat resistant spores when ex- fo an oxygen en- vironment. This is very important to know when canning low-acid vegetables such as beans, peas, spinach, asparagus etc., as well as all meats, These foods, when contaminated with botulism spores and improperly canned, become an ideal environment for the bacteria - fo grow from the spores and produce its deadly toxin. This is because the sealed ean has no oxygen in it. Foods containing botulism toxin are deadly. Even a small morsel can be fatal. Historically, as many as 50 percent of the victims of botulism poisoning die, although there are now antidotes for this toxin available on an emergency basis from the health unit. Botulism poisoning causes dryness of mouth, sore throat, drooping eyelids, blurred vision and even- tually death by paralyzing the respiratory system. The best method of preventing botulism poisoning is by properly processing home-canned foods. This can be done in a pressure cooker equipped with pressure gauge. At 10 Ibs. of steam pressure, the boiling temperature of water is increased which is adequate to destroy the botulism spores in 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the type of food being processed. (Exact cooking times can be obtained at the Health Unit.) Boiling foods at 100 degrees Centigrade, is not hot enough to destroy the heat resistant spores. Care should be taken in home canning, to make sure that the air is bled out of the pressure cooker before placing on the presure relief valve. Make sure that you read the instruction booklet for your pressure cooker or canner as exploding cookers are just as dangerous as botulism poisoning. Proper processing of commercially canned foods is regularly monitored .by government inspectors, and samples of batch lots are routinely sampled for the presence of the botulism toxin. However, the public can further protect them: selves from botuliam by doing the following: a. Never buy bulging or “exploded” cans fram the supermarket as the lack of vacuum may indicate botulism poisoning. Help get these cans off the shelves by giving them to the cashier for dispozal. b. Don't buy badly dented cans as their seal may be broken, c. Whereever possible, heat canned foods by boiling them for at least 10 minutes, as this will completely destroy the toxin. Never sample canned foods prior to heating. ‘Further information on botulism poisoning ar other types of food poisoning can be obtained at the local offic of the Skeena Health Unit.

Bonner also said energy production must take precedence over project prevention envi- ronmentalists if Canada is to meet its energy needs, “The lead time to production has doubled in the last decade as a result of the environmental revolution. It is now a 10 to 15-year process to get from spreduction of energy.” IMPORTS INCREASE Canada, which now im- ports some 630,000 barrels of oil per day, will have to import two million barrels a day by 3990, he said.n “And the exotic alter- natives so dear to the hearts of protesters and writers of popular articles cannot make a serious impact upon the energy supply prablems for at least 10 years.” He defined exotic alter- natives as wind power, tidal power, solar collectors, geothermal power, _ photovoltaic ceils and fusion. It also takes years to realize net energy gains from conservation, he said. “Even if all Canadian homes were properly in- sulated, it would take 10 years to achieve net energy gains because of the energy required to install the in- sulation in the first vlace "' UP TO 235% (per annum return) Real Estate Investment secured by residential income property $5,000 minimum investment.
