That’s a wrap! |

[f you thought you had a lot of presents to wrap at
Christmas, imagine having to deal with 1,000 gifts. That was
the approximate final tally for volunteers at Keenleyside In-
surance says agency employee Pat Sheichuk. rn

For the second year, Keenleyside (located in the Co-op:
building) exchanged the wrapping service for donations with
the money going to the Child Development Centre. ;

Sheichuk said residents of all ages supported the fund raiser
with donations ranging ‘‘from a few pennies up to $20," |

FOR MOST REVELLERS the New Year's party was over but 7.31 a.m. marked the beginning of a
celebration for Jean and Tim Obzera. That was the moment their new addition, Kierra Noelle arrived to
become the city’s first baby of 1990. And in choosing Jan. 1 to make her appearance, 7lb. 140z.
Kierra continued a family tradition - her uncle, Frec Euverman was born on the same day 30 years age.

_ Flossie mourned

One of Terrace’s most
revered ladies has gone to her
place of rest — Flossie Lambly
passed away peacefully on Jan.
2 at Mills Memorial Hospital.

Flossie will be sadly missed by
many who loved her, It was a
great pleasure to know such a
lovely lady and I will always
remember the special quality in
her voice whenever she spoke.

I’m sure everyone at Ter-
raceview Lodge __ will miss her
dearly and I wish her well in her
new home of rest

Wrapping began in the last week of November and ended at -
11 p.m, on Dec, 23, the last day the Co-op was open hefore
Christmas. The Co-op donated all the paper, ribbon and tags
used. Sheichuk said she and fellow volunteers Jayne Hillert
and Vivian Raposo faced some interesting challenges during
that period including hard-to-wrap presents such as
snowhoards, “But it was a lot of fun,’’ she added.

Describing the 23rd as a ‘very busy day,’’ she said the rush
was in part prompted by most stores in the city running out of
wrapping paper. However, with owner Jim Keenleyside and
Co-op managers being drummed into service, the demand:
was met.

Although current plans are to offer the service again next
year, Sheichuk said the wrapping team would probably be
looking for extra volunteer help ‘‘especially in the last week
(before Christmas)’’ because the end of December was also a
busy period for the agency,

Blizzard warning

Can your preschooler skate? Have you wanted to attend
the family or public skating sessions with your child and been
afraid that since he or she is a non-skater they'll have an-acci-
dent? Or did you feel the Terrace Arena was too cold for your
to spend the time teaching your littke one how to stand on
skates and move around?

The Terrace Parks and Recreation department have solved
these problems for you by offering Learn-To-Skate lessons
for preschoolers. Our aim is to provide your child with the
opportunity to learn basic skating skills while having fun,

The classes allow the child to progress at their own speed
and ability with lots of help from our qualified instructor,

‘Rachelle Mastrodonato. We accept only 10 children per class.

Rachelle has been teaching skating with the Terrace Figure
Skating Club since September and is familiar with the pro-.,
blems of teaching children of all ages to skate, ;

Classes will be offered Wednesday and Friday mornings
starting January 10 from 9 - 9:30 a.m. for non-skating
preskaters and 9:30 - 10 a.m, for those preschoolers who can
stand and move on their skates and more, Lessons are offered
Monday and Wednesday afternoons as well. Registration is to
be held on an ongoing basis at the recreation office with
preschoolers accommodated on a first come, first serve basis.

Preschool skating lessons will be offered from now until
the end of March and children can continue through the
department's Learn-To-Skate Level system.

Children start as Ice Cubes where they learn to cross the ice
without failing and to stop, to Icicles where they learn push-
glide skating using alternate feet, to Snowballs, Icebergs and —
finally Blizzards — the final level in which they learn
crossovers, turns and power stroking.

For more information on the Preschoolers’ Learn-to-Skate
lessons call the recreation office at 638-1174 or come down
and register.

SKATING INSTRUCTOR Rachelle Mastrodonato was back in
action this week as the recreation department's Tots on Ice
program resumed at the arena. Although the first sessions got
under way Monday, children between the ages of two and five
years can still be registered if there is space available at their

skill level, .
