Local family helps battle agains Sigrid Bahr has been involved with the work of World Vision Canada since 1972, when her family started sponsoring two third world children through the humanitarian organization, For 12 years she’s been volunteering her time here in Terrace to distribute and monitor about 30 counter-top collection boxes, which channel your spare change into World Vision’s pro- grams meeting urgent needs in 62 countries around the world.

He explains that the building is 30 years old and was ‘‘suited for nothing’? as far as Christy Park was concerned but, “It might make a good bordello on Highway 16 or something,”’ says Highe, “‘It’s got a common room, a kitchen, and then a long hallway with little rooms on either side.”’ Highe says TYSA already has future plans for a “‘pavilion”’, not a clubhouse, but he says it’s something that hds to be well thought out.. According to Highe, a wood frame building is difficult and costly to maintain and is susceptible to vandalism and arson — it has to be cement block to be permanent and secure. And it doesn’t have to be a large building either, says Highe, ‘All we need is some washrooms, showers, storage for uniforms and maintenance equipment, and maybe a small meeting room.” Highe says he’s upset about the discussion of the clubhouse proposal and the lack of any response from the city on their proposal to bring the develop- ment to a logical conclusion — a tournament class facility with five fields. He says that a meeting with Land law —_ continued from page 19 Indian-Government relations in Canada, there has- been much betrayal by successive Govern- ments, both federal and provin- cial.

"Help for Children and Adults with Reading and Writing Problems Frequently, bright children with learning problems are labelled ‘lazy’, ‘unmotivated’, or ‘dyslexic’. They cannot keep up with their classmates in reading, writing or spelling. They may be disorganized, inattentive or forget- ful, They are often uncoordinated and clumsy, ‘tripping over their own shadow’. Being fussy, accident prone, or poor sleepers, they have an energy treaty or other aboriginal rights. hope that will not happen.” The Kitsumkalum band is not currently looking into taking ad- vantage of these legislative changes. Noting the federal government recently ‘messed things up” with band member- ship transfers, that is, allowing bands to develop their own membership codes but failing to have their own system ready to transfer the resulting changes to per capita payments, Bolton said they'll wait until more informa- tion is available. tioning Canadians to “‘give before you go.”” With a drought currently in northeast Brazil threatening the lives of thousands, with the Afghan refugees in Pakistan over-burdening that country’s resources, and with the continu- ing war and hunger in Mozam- bique, World Vision predicts that the generous giving of Canadians will be greatly needed this summer. Mrs. Bahr got involved with World Vision because she believes in the work they do. She and her husband starting spon- soring a child in Korea and one Mayor Jack Talstra last week ‘went nowhere’ and he has been invited to attend the September meeting of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Com- mission. But he made his request in November of last year and the lack of response has cost TYSA a year’s delay — and next year is the final year of the five-year agreement. Highe compares the Christy Park development, which TYSA built at no cost to the city, to the arena hill which is costing tax- payers thousands of dollars and says, “I don’t understand how anyone can be against what we want to do. We’ve done this pro- ject on our own, it hasn’t cost the city a nickel, and L think we’ve done a good job. How they can jack us around like this is beyond me.’” _ Subse LOSE Terrace Review — Wednesday, July 6, 1988 23 in Indonesia, because ‘‘with five children of our own, what’s add- ing another two?’’ As the years went by, the child in Korea no longer needed their help, so they started sponsoring one in the _ Phillipines.
