YVONNE MOEN

Then in 1970 Gerry
moved to Richmond and in
1991 retired as an ear, nose
and throat specialist.

Although Gerry had
moved from Terrace he con-
tinued to visit here on a reg-
ular basis.

He was a well liked doc-
tor. His patients remember
him as a soft-spoken man.

When Gerry retired he and
his wife Anne went to live
on Gabriola Island. He
loved the natural beauty
there,

Gerry will be deeply
missed by his wife, daughter
Wendy, son Brent of Van-
couver and sister Peg, and
the rest of family and
friends,

Both Gerry and his brother
Roger are now gone. They
helped many Terrace tesi-
dents in times of sickness.

The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, April 2, 1997 - B3

Soup for the soul

THESE DAYS many people gel caught up in the dif
ferences between cultures, whether they be native, East In-
dian, European or Asian.

A modern dance company that’s coming to Terrace will
try to use an ancient European fable to show that there’s
More that unites people than divides them. And the
audience gets a tasty bowl of soup at the end!

The Karen Jamieson Dance Company from Vancouver
will be in Terrace on Saturday, April 12 to perform a
dance called Stone Soup.

Stone Soup tells the story of a time of great hunger in a
small European village, A stranger arrives and wants food,
but the villagers don’t have much, so they hide their food.

The stranger is carrying a cooking pot, and isn’t dis-
turbed by the villagers’ actions, saying he can make soup
from a stone. He does just that, boiling waler and stones
and tasting it. Then he laments that if he just had a carrot,
it would be even tastier. Someone in the village finds a
carrot and gives it to him. Then the stranger says if he had
a leaf of cabbage it would be even better, and a cabbage
leaf appears. Soon the soup pot is full and the village feasts
and dances till dawn.

The Karen Jamicson Dance Company is being brought to
Terrace by the multicultural organization,

“Dance and song are international,” says board member
Jane Dickson. ‘‘This is about weaving cultures together.”

The dance will take place in the Kitsumkalum Hall, and
Kilsumkalum chicfs will invite the dancers in. Then the
Many Nations dance group will dance them wp to the stage
to a new song they’ve written for the event, called Heart-
beat of the Nations. After the dancing is finished everyone
will be invited to enjoy a bowl of soup, which will be
served up by the dancers,

The dancers will be in the northwest for about two
weeks, giving performances at a number of native com-
munities, and holding workshops at schools.

The Terrace performance takes place at 7 p.m. on April
12, Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for seniors and stu-
dents aged 16 and under. Donations to defray the costs of
bringing in the dance troupe are also welcome.
