B4 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, August 13, 1997 Manitoba reunion attracts Terrace family THE BEA BARNETT family from Terrace recently travelled back to Manitoba for the Rural Municipality of Laurence home coming, It was the first time in 42 years that the Barnett famil ly all have been together. The Bamtetts were in Manitoba July 18 for the homecom- ing which took place in Rorketon — population 650. About 3,000 people attended the celebration. There was a parade, beer garden, lots of music and dancing and plenty of entertainment. It was a great lime, with everyone meting lots of old friends and family, The Barnett family consists of father Pete Bamett, now deceased, and mother Bea (Ackerman.) The couple was married on Nov. 12, 1936 at Ochre River, Manitoba, 10 miles from St, Rose, Bea came froma family of seven children. Pete only bad one brother. His parents both moved to Manitoba from Scotland in 1910. Pete’s grandfather was in both world wars and was responsible for building the United Church a home in Rorketon, Pete and Bea and their family left Rorketon to move to Terrace in 1955. Fete found a job working for Lloyd Johnstone as a mechanic. He then got work at Columbia Cellulose. Pete died in Terrace in 1984, Bea is now in the extended care unit at Kitimat hospitat. She’s waiting for a room to come open at Terraceview Lodge. Fortunately Bea was well enough to be able to travel back to Manitoba with her children for the homecoming celebration, Daughters Verna, Bertha, Kay, Irene, Sharon aud son Chas came with her, as did Trish, her youngest granddaughter, Claude Chepif and his wife Diane also went to the reunion — their home town as Magnet, Manitoba. The Barnett family is now planning another reunion — this one for the Ackermans, Bea’s side of the family. It will be beld in Terrace in 1999 during Riverboat Days. They’re hoping relatives from all over the world will travel to Terrace. And now I wish Bea good health and hope a room opens | for her soon at Terraceview, so she can come home again. Gypsy sign makers enjoy Terrace. By LYNNE CHRISTIANSEN MEL & LOIS Kostiuk are back at the Skeena Valley Farmers Market with their custom made signs. The Kostiuks live a gypsy life, not staying long in any one place,.However, they spend more time in Terrace than anywhere else through the year. In fact, Mel says if they were ta locate in one ‘Spot, it would be here. Their travel route is planned around local events where Mel can conduct his wood work business and where the fishing is good. They often winter in Arizona. Mel and Lois say that they can feel a difference in people as they travel west from Houston. They are not sure why, but they find in this northwest comer people are warmer and friendlier, more generous and hospitable. Mel says their really good, Jong time friends are the friends they have met in Terrace. He and Lois are very busy getting together with friends, when they retum to Terrace each year, Mel came to Terrace for the first time, 11 year ago, to sell his wood work in the mall. They started coming to the Skeena Valley Farmers Market four years ago. The Kostiuks really enjoy our market. They have seen a lot of markets and are amazed at the success of our Skeena Valley Farmers Market. They are also surprised at the amount of local produce that is available at our market in comparison to other markets in the north. The Kostiuks enjoy visiting with all their friends down at the market. Lois and Mel think it’s great to be able to meet so many people and make friends, while some people don’t even know their neighbours. The Kostiuks have made friends with other trades and arts and crafts people too, who tour around in the same way and often cross paths. Mel’s truck is a wood work shop on wheels. Behind the wood work shop they tow their home — a travel trailer. Mel’s dad joined the tour this year, as he has retired, Mr. Kostiuk Sr. travels in a camper and pulls a boat behind. Mel is happy to have his dad along, It might have some- thing to do with the fact that the fish boat comes along with is dad: ener ce Re fate hen Mel & ‘Lois celebrate their 26th nniversary this- ‘yea 1¢ Their i original home base i is Calgary. 2 ta OS PRS A Means - MEL KOSTIUK uses a router like a paintbrush, and can design and cut a sign like this in minutes, Mel isa carpenter by trade and an artist in his own right.
