Thank
You

Dear Sir: ;

Tam an educational consul-
tant and adjudicator who
travels around the province.
In a recent visit to Terrace I
noticed that one of your busi-
ness people, Marilyn Kerr,

Chamber of Commerce for
her work in fostering the arts
in your community,

I just had to applaud Terrace
Chamber for their far-sighted
and progressive attitude in
making such an award,

In my travels I work in
many different places. I can
make comparisons of the vari-
ous cultures that have devel-
oped over time in these
respective communities.
Some better, some still strug-
gling. Tertace, in my view, is
blessed with an enlightened
outlook towards the arts.

Leadership makes. the. dif-
ference towards creating a vi-
tal culture and arts scene. Ter-
race has it. The effort of civic,
business, and school
authorities, as well as hard-
working individuals, has paid
off over many years to make
Terrace a beacon of artistic
activity.- Giving business
leadership awards is but one
form of this leadership.

Well done, Terrace,

Dennis Tupman

Dear Sir:

T would like to thank the
person or persons who found
me unconscious in my car
about 6 p.m. on Saturday,
September. 16 in the Safeway
parking lot, and arranged to
get me to the hospital.

I would like to thank you in
person, but as this docs not
seem possible, I am using this
newspaper as a way to say
“thank you very much.”

farming community. When
they first moved to old Rema,
the trees were huge, remem-
bers John.

“The stumps were so big
you could hide a stationwagan
behind one,’” be said.

Another feature of the region
is frequent flooding. But John
says that he has never had any
water in his house. He’s also
surprised ai how quickly the
fields dry up after a flood.

John and his wife have three
children. Their son Dieter
lives on one side of his parents
and daughter Anne lives on
the olher side. Another son,
Juergen, lives in Terrace. They
have 13 grandchildren and 18
great-grandchildren.

John says that he never
Tegretted the move _ that
brought him and his family to
old Remo. He says the secret
to a long and happy life is to
keep busy in hard work.

And he lives by those words.
He still thins tumips in the
field and frequently works in
the greenhouses. He often ac-
companies his son Dieter to
the Farmer’s market,

Speaking of the markel, I'd
like to remind everyone that
there are only three market
days left. The last market day
is October 28.

The Farmer's Market starts
every Saturday at9 a.m. in the
parking lot across from
George Little Park. Lynne
Christiansen ts a vendor at the
market and a member of the
market board.

Living with a
brain injury |

By Yvonne Nielsen
In recognition of Brain -
fnjury Awareness Month
IMAGINE you were a passenger
sitting in the. back seal of vehicle,

with your seat belt on, traveling |

back to Terrace from Prince
George, on October 4, 1987. One
minute you’re fine and the next

minute your. life has...changed. ..

forever. You are in a serious head
on car crash that has feft you
permanently brain damaged.

I don’t have to imagine this
crash. was the passenger of that
car. That night, at the age of 23,
my life changed dramatically, I
sustained a traumatic brain injury,
broken lower back, a stroke ‘on
the right side (I have’ mobility
problems), and a seat belt burn.

For four and a half months I
was at Shaughnessy Hospital in

‘Vancouver, first in the. Spinal
' Cord Unit and then in the Rehab

Ward. My ‘rehab consisted ‘ of
relearning to walk (from a wheel-
chair, toa walker, and tu a cane),
speech therapy, leaming to use
helping aids to dress, and daily

living skills. _ -
I still get dizzy, nausea,”

pain, and fatigue every ‘day, Lalso-*-

have short term memory.loss: and
other cognitive problems, - -

‘When I retumed to Terrace, my
Rehab: ‘carried on and will. con-
tinue for the rest of my life. Over.
time my Rehab need will change,’ |

-For.. ‘my ..physical . therapy,-.I.....:| -
walk, cycle, and swim. For -my

. mental therapy, as well as for my.

physical. therapy for my Tight
hand, I attended the college twice
a week, taking a computer course

~ in the Office Careers Program.
~ [ got very tired after the class.

Due*to my short term memory
lass, I have to Tepeat things over
and over again to remember
them.

jured and you want to understand
