20° Terrace Review — Wednesday, March 12, 1986.

Great Canadian Lives (Karen Ford, J. Maclean
and B. Wansborough: Nelson, distributed by
Doubleday: $24.95) is designed to be used with in-
termediate grade children, It is a new look of the peo-
ple who through their lives affected the growth of our
country; heroes of military exploit, travellers and ex-
plorers, early settlers, road and rail builders, artists,
craftsmen, people who gave generously of their time
and talent, gave even their lives, so that the new

country and the peoplein it would survive, grow and
prosper.

by Andrea Deakin, Terrace Book Reviewer

_ None of ‘the biographies is longer than a double-

page spread, but intriguing enough to send young
readers searching for more material, and vivid
enough to let young Canadians realize that we have
our fair share of heroes and heroines without bor-
rowing from abroad. Muquinna and Vancouver
share equal time, and courageous settlers like
Catherine McPherson, a Selkirk settler, share the
same amount of space as William Lyon Mackenzie.
The book has been generously illustrated with pain-
tings and black and white drawings. Many of the il-
lustrations are from paintings and photographs in
collections around the country.

Do you see what | see?

This book will be invaluable in school and public
libraries, it is also a valuable and interesting addition
to a home library.

Do You See What I See (Matthew Price: Kids Can
Press: $12.95) is an engaging picture book for the
younger child. A small boy watches a circus come to
town. He longs to go, but everyone that he ap-
proaches, elephant, monkey, zebra or pig, is much
too busy searching for something to pay attention to
him. In the end we discover that they have all been
searching for the same thing, their tickets for the cir-
cus.

The illustrations are full of explorations. Windows

onto the next page suggest a different scene from the -

one we find. Each page is filled with detail to ex-
amine and discuss, and in each page one of the miss-
ing tickets is concealed, Sue Porter’s illustrations are
soft-toned and filled with humor. A well-executed
picture book like this is ideal for helping a child
develop observation.

Return of Martin
Guerre to be shown

TERRACE — On
Thursday March 20 at 8
p.m. in the lower level of
the Terrace Public
Library the movie,
Return of Martin Guerre
will be shown. The
movie will also be shown
Thursday, March 20 at 7
p.m. in the LRC Seminar
Room at Northwest
Community College.

The top request from
extension film clubs, The
Return of Martin Guerre
is interesting.

Gerard Depardieu
walks out of his sixteenth
century village, crosses
muddied fields and
disappears. Years later
he returns, tripping over
the very same puddles,
eagerly demanding the
hand of his wife,
Nathalie Baye. But is
Depardieu really Martin
Guerre?

Soldiers returned from
the war say he is not.
Nathalie Baye decides he
is, and The Return of
Martin Guerre becomes
a tug of wits between
legal representatives and
unrequitted love. With
costumes and morals so
very antique, the movie
is a mystery and a

documentary and winner
of three Paris Academy
awards. Depardieu and
Baye are ferocious
spouses.

In the morning of
March 4, a fire broke out
in a home at 3213 Apsley
St. in Terrace. Fire Chief
Clifford Best, said the
fire started on the kit-
chen stove where an ele-
ment had been left on
while the occupants were
out. The pan of grease
ignited, said Best.

Following an acci-
dent, 44.8km west of
Terrace, in January of
1974, an avalanche pro-
gram was set up in the
area by Ministry of ©
Highways.

The accident
occurred at the North
Route Service Centre,
after a heavy snowfall
which caused an ava-
Janche in which seven
people were killed. One
person was dug out
alive after several
hours. Along a 26km
stretch, now an ava-
lanche danger zone, 44
avalanche paths were
identified, by the Min-
istry of Highways.

Mike Zylicz, ava-
lanche technician for
the highway depart-
ment in the Terrace dis-
trict, said that the
snowfalls along High-
way 16 between Terrace
and Prince Rupert are
greater than those at the
Terrace Airport.

There are two types
of avalanches. Zylicz
explained one is called
loose snow, the other
is called slab.

The loose snow ava-
lanches start at a single
point or a small area,
gathering mass and
force as they descend in
an inverted ‘'V'’, These
are generally surface
sluffs of Freshly-fallen
snow reposing on slopes
too steep for accumula-
tion,

Art show

now on

by Daniele Berquist
TERRACE — The
Northwest Regional Jur-
ied Show is now in pro-
gress for the month of
March. The show is be-
ing held at the Terrace
Art Gallery and is organ-
ized by the Terrace Art
Association. —

Approximately 50 to
60 participants are
displaying their talents,
paintings, drawings,
photography, weaving,
pottery and sculpture.

Co-ordinator for the
show is Cathy Pick from
Sandspit. The Juried
Show was organized by
the Regional Arts Coun-
cil, The Festival of Arts
takes place every second
year in B.C.

Works selected from
the show will go on to
Images and Objects IV in
Prince George on May 4,
for the Festival of Arts.

Avalanche threat 4

is monitored

Unlike the loose-
snow avalanches, slab
avalanches are internal-
ly cohesive masses
which break away from
aslope at a well-defined
fracture line.

Zylicz’s job is to
monitor the snow situa-
tion along the 26km
avalanche danger zone.

‘Work consists of doing

tests such as snow pro-
files and detailed
weather observations
at highway level. Zylicz
explained that an auto-
matic remote weather
station on Kasiks Peak,
approximately 64km
from Terrace, radios
down the weather every
12 minutes. That tells
us, said Zylicz, what
gUes on in the mioun-
tain-top avalanche
slarting zone.

From that, continu-
ous evaluations are
done helping us to
determine whether to
leave the road open or
initiate closure or do
active control work,
Zylicz said.

Twice a month,
weather permitting,
Zylicz charters a heli-
copter to take a look at
snow packs on. the

mountains and to check
their equipment. ‘‘We
still have problems with
the sensors freezing up,
he added.

Zylicz said that he
can usually tell within
several hours that an
avalanche situation
exists. There's a lot of
art to predicting an ava-
lanche, you have to get
up there and get the feel
of the snow. However,
he added it is an inexact
science. For this year
the snow pack condi-
tions are below normal
but that can change ina
day, Zylicz noted,

As a public reminder,
be prepared when you
go for a drive, Zylicz
added. Bring snow
boots, a shovel and so
on. [t’s a tough country
out there, avalanche
safety. Precautions
should be taken. Before
leaving for a drive, Zyl-
iez said people would be
wise to get information
on the weather and also
from highway mainten-
ance personnel. In
other words, Zylicz said
one must be constantly
alert when travelling an
avalanche danger zone.

Zylicz has a bache-

a.

Mike Zylicz

lors degree in geo-
graphy and is presently
working for the Minis-
iry of Highway, in Ter-
race. Over the past
summer he worked in
New Zealand to set up
an avalanche safety
program at a new ski
area and will be return-
ing again this July to
complete the program.

Visiting Terrace from
New Zealand is Hamish
Mc Croslie, snow safety
officer. He is here to
learn more about the
Canadian avalanche
programs.
