Science Fair °92

FIFTY SIX, FIFTY SEVEN,,.A study in concentration, Sarah
Davis (above) carefully counts the rings on a tree cross-
section in one of the Canadian Women in Timber's competi-
tions at last Saturday's Terrace Science Fair. The Centennial
Christian School grade 4 student was all smiles when the
demanding task was completed. Meanwhile, a crowd
gathered outside in the sunshine to take in the two ege-drop.
At left, eggs carefully wrapped in a protective milk-carton
sheil are flung into space to join the occasionally shattered re-
mains (below) of earlier flights. For results of these and the,
many other competitions held during the day, see next week’s
paper.

Canine clash
all in fun

A group of local dog owners
interested in showing, breeding
and promoting purebred,
registered dogs have got
together to form the Skeena
Valley Kennel Club.

The group will soon be apply-
ing for official status with the
Canadian Kennel Club (CKC)
and in the meantime, with the
dog show season getting into
full swing, it plans to hold a Fun
Match this Saturday, March 7.

This is a mini dog show but,
with the emphasis firmly on the
word ‘fun’, it won’t be held
under CKC rules. That gives
owners of purebreds, whether
CKC registered or not, a chance
to see if their animal has what it
takes to be a show dog.

The first of the show's two
segments is the Obedience sec-
tion, The only requirement here
is a trained dog and there are
several Classes open to entrants.

In Novice ¥ (not a class of-
fered at. sanctioned CKC
shows), all exercises are done on
a lead. Novice A and B sees

some of the exercises done off

the lead. Jumping and: retriey-
ing.are.added for the Open A
and- B events while scent
discrimination and hand signals
come into play in the Utility sec-
tion.

The second part of the show
is Conformation, where the dog

is judged on looks and move-
ment according to its breed
standard. For this section, the
animal cannot be ‘spayed or
neutered nor have any disquali-
fying faults according to its
breed standard.

The entry fee for the show is
$3 per dog, per class and entries
will be taken at the show, It will
be held at the Thornhill Com-
munity Centre and the doors
will be open from 9 a.m. There
is no admission charge for the
public.

Obedience events will begin at
approximately 10 a.m, followed
by Conformation at about 1
p.m. Entrants must sign up
before the class being entered
begins. There will be prizes for
winners, donated by local mer-
chants, and refreshments will be
available from the kitchen.

Those attending are reminded
they are responsible for the
behaviour of their dogs and/or
children.

‘Incidentally, the event will be
filmed’ by a crew from
Evergreen Community TV for

later showing on its Northwest
Window program.

‘For more information on the
Fun Match, contact Lonna

Day of prayer set

Contributed

When Christians around the
globe gather for World Day of
Prayer service this Friday,
March 6, concern for the en-
vironment will be at the heart of
their prayers.

They will be invited to reflect
on the challenge of ‘‘Living
Wisely with Creation’’.

Prepared by women from
Austria, Germany and
Switzerland, this year's service
is written from the perspective
of industrialized countries
which have experienced tremen-
dous economic growth and ad-
vances in technology and are
only now beginning to look at
the environmental costs of
unlimited progress. .

The order of worship careful-
ly weaves together scripture
readings — including an ex-
uberant psalm in praise of crea-
tion — with some of the writers’
experiences in the reconstruc-
tion of their countries following
World War II and concerns
about the present ecological
crisis. The Tower of Babel
becomes a symbol of the yet un-
seen implications of our higher

technology.

World Day of Prayer is a
global, ecumenical movement
of informed prayer and prayer-
ful action, On the first Friday of.
March each year, people in
more than 170 countries par-
ticipate in a common service in
their own locality, Services are
translated into thousands of
languages and dialects. .

In Canada, World Day of
Prayer is sponsored by the
Women’s Inter-Church Council
of Canada which includes
representatives from eleven
denominations.

Local services are organized
by ecumenical committees in
thousands of communities
across the country with each
church taking it in turn to host
the annual service.

The offerings from the ser-
vice are used to provide study
and worship resources, cover
the cest- of printing and
distributing the services. and
support ecumenical projects
both in Canada and abroad,

In Terrace, the service will be
held in the Christian Reformed
Church on Sparks St, beginning
at 4:30 p.m.
