Dashing through the Snow...

The carollers
are coming

There’ll be music in the air Dec, 20 when the Thornhill
Volunteer Fire Department and the Terrace Rotary Club offer
mobile Christmas carols.

Thornhill firefighters leave their firehall 5:30 p.m. on two light
festooned trucks complete with sound system, Santa Claus and a
snowman,

They’!] be touring Thornhill until 9 or 9:30 p.m.

Terrace Rolary Club members begin at 7 p.m. from the Coast
Inn of the West.

There'll be a flatbed full of singers and a decorated fire truck.

The procession will work its way through Terrace and end up
al the college.

Musicians receive
high honours

Two Terrace musicians have been accorded the highest honour in
B.C. in their disciplines,

Bonnie Juniper and Tim Phillips have bath been given the silver
medal from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto for excellence
in their examinations.

Juniper won in Grade 4 violin and 14-year-old Phillips won in Grade
6 guitar.

Both had the highest marks in their grades in the province.

The Royal Conservatory examinations took place last June. The win-
ners were announced at the end of November.

“Tvs the first time it’s happened up here,”’ said the academy’s
Marylin Davies. ‘‘Il usually goes to the major centres.”

She said such an honour gives a boost to the local musicians and to
the academy.

“It’s a real shot in (he arms for the kids who study here — not to
mention a real boost for the teachers.”

Juniper's teacher is Heinz Radek, while guitar instructor Anne Hill
has coached Phillips.

Christmas came early

Dick Eichhorst is calling it the ‘easiest unwrapped birthday present”’
he's ever had.

And that’s certainly true because he’s now the proud owner of a
$25,000 B.C. Loticries Corporation cheque,

Bichhorst won the money from a scratch-and-win Royal Flush bought
at Mohawk on Nov. 22, his 44th birthday.

“Tt took me 10 good looks,” said Eichhorst of making sure his run of
cards on the licket made him a winner.

He spoke from Richmond last week after driving pon-stop. to pick up:

his winnings.

A regular purchaser of lottery tickets, Bichhorst says the money will
last him a kong time,

He’s planning to pay off his house, take care of a few other bills and
head to Las Vegas on a vacation with his girlfriend.
“Em looking forward to being a little more comfortable,” said Eich-
horst. ;

better than ever.

Tt doesn’t happen until
March, but organizers
like Rod Freeman from
Centennial Christian
School are getting ready
now,

'S]t’s a hig effort this
year,’’ he said, ‘We're
putting a lot more effort
into it than we have in
previous years.”’

Science World's ever-
popular discovery boxes
are back this year after a
two-year hiatus,

And there will bea
Science Carnival with
hands-on science
demonstrations going on
at the library on Science
Fair Week — Mar, 2-6.

There'll also be
scavenger hunts, egg
drops, boat races and
tower-building contests.

Entry forms will soon
be available in all the
schools, so young minds
are urged to sign up early
and get started!

Freeman said
organizers are also look-
ing for judges — particu-
larly focal people who
have a science back-
ground for thelr work.

They'll be holding a -
gift-wrap fundraiser in
the mall on Wednesday,
Dec. 16 and Thursday,
Dec, 17, It’s part of an ef- ee

Relief donations
have fallen off

Local donations to World Vi-
sion Canada — the largest Cana-
dian aid agency in Somalia —
have fallen off despite the
worldwide focus on thal country.

Terrace organizer Sigrid Bahr

said the donations to the organi-
zation’s charity coin drops in !o-
cal slores are down by more than
a third in recent months.
--“Sometines you think at
Christmas it would pick up,’’ she
says, ‘‘bul it doesn’t.”
She said some of the boxes are
alten stolen as well.

World Vision Canada’s Dennis
‘Kiffiak said last week the greatest
danger now is that Canadian
donations will fall off with the
UN occupation of the country.

“Don’t stop giving aid just be-
cause Mogadishu is. under: con-
trol,’ he said, ‘Just because
they’ve secured one arca doesn’t

town of Biadoa, located 250km
northwest of Mogadishu, where
World Vision Canada has con-
centrated ils relief efforts.

He said 60 per cent of aid
workers have left Biadoa, but said
World Vision’s six feeding
centres are still open.

People there are still dying at a
rate of 100 per day.

Kiffiak said it takes at least
three months of careful feeding te
nurse famine victims back to
health --- and for the ‘‘skin and

months because their stomachs
are so shrivelled.

World Vision’s aid consists of a
high-protein multi-grain cereal
usually combined with sugar and
either water or camel’s milk.
