The way |

Tse it...

- by Stephanie Wiebe —

There’s been this really cool -

guy cruisin’ through the mall
parking lot in an old white ©
Mustang lately, his stereo’
system blaring hot tunes. The
first time I noticed him, I
thought, What an obnoxious
person. Who are you trying to
impress?

The second time I saw this
awesome guy, cruisin’? down a
city street, I was quite irritated.
Must we all listen to your

music? 1 had dreams of stopp- __

ing this guy, dragging him out -
of his hot car, tying him into
my stationwagon and forcing _
him to listen to Elvis Presley.
But I don’t like Elvis Presley, .
and I’d probably get arrested.

The third time I saw this
totally rad guy, I was getting
quite tense. I watched this guy
‘cruise around for a while, and
then I noticed a few other cool
guys, There was the black
truck, and the red chevy. (I -
haven’t noticed any females in
this species — ‘perhaps that’s
‘the gender this-is all aimed at.) I
‘decided to go. public with my —
message:

‘Dear Cool Guys: |

You are so impressive in

The board of Northwest Com-

“munity College held the first

meeting of the fall term in
Smithers on September 8-9, in
the new campus building which
was Officially opened on Satur-

‘day by Mayor Brian Northup of

‘Smithers and Skeena MLA Dave
Parker.

 poung rand cool. ‘We used to

fact that stereo equipment was —

awesonie stereo. ‘The Terrace _

cruising talents. ft too, was once —

cruise down 6th “Avenue in-
Tacoma, Washington, and
hang out with the coolest guys.
Our-excellent music was not so
loud, however, owing to the:

not as technically advanced as
it is now, We irritated others
with our mere presence, not
with our music.
How thoughtful. of you to

want to share your hot music
with those us us not so cool as
you, But, someday if you’re
lucky, you too will grow up to

_ become a responsible adult.
You will think of those around
you, and not as much about
how cool you are. You may
even marry and have children, |
become an accountant, take up
golf — who knows? It’s hap-
pened to the coolest, And one
day, when you're walking
down the street, humming that
very song you now blast into’
our ears, some new cool dude
will fly by in a spaceship, play-
tig the latest loud noise, and
you'll realise just how old you
and your music are, And it will
- irritate you.

1 Please consider this when
you cruise through the mall
parking lot and city streets.
Turn it down a wee bit, okay?

By the way, have you ever -
heard of “The Beatles?’ I just
wondered.

Musicians

Local musicians came through in a big way
last week for elderly and disabled people in Ter-
race who want to continue living independent
lives.

A concert two weeks ago organized by
Northern Pride (Ralph Trelenberg and Wayne
Millar, center) sold out and raised $2,100,
enough to buy three emergency. alert

(Teleguard) devices. Joy Dover, a board direc-

tor of the Terrace and District Community Ser-
vices Society, shows major Jack Talstra how
the system operates: the unit, worn by the user,.
is pre-programmed to telephone a series. of

emergency contact numbers if it isn’t reset ‘at -

periodic intervals during the day, under the
assumption that if the unit isn’t reset, there’s
something wrong. It provides added peace of
mind for both the owner of Teleguard and the

bring aid

owner’s family,
The success of ‘‘Jam ’89”’ drive the musi-
cians to greater heights, spawning plans for

another event — ‘‘Jam 1990”, scheduled for

the Terrace Arena at this time next year — and
an additional donation from the Terrace Musi-
cians Association general fund for another two
Teleguard devices. The Royal Canadian Legion
Branch 13.in Terrace contributed another one,

‘the government will buy one; unit for every
three donated by the community, so eight of the |

emergency alert systems will go out to people in
Terrace who need them.

The remaining proceeds from ‘‘Jam 99",
which include return of deposits on the Thorn-
hill Community Hall and other miscellaneous
items, will be contributed to. the Salvation Ar-
my Christmas Fund, Millar said. .
