| would like to see
basic courses enhanc-
ed and less emphasis
placed on extra cur-

ricular activities in
order that our childen
will be better prepared
for post secondary
education and better
able to compete with
students from other
countries attending our
universities. A number
of Canadian students
are having difficulty
getting accepted in dif-
ferent diciplines, such
as medicine where we
have tended to be at an
academic disadvan-
tage. Our students are
not programed to study
the way some pupils in
other countries are.
Too often Canadians
are not equipped with
the experience of inten-
sive study which is re-
quired at the university
lavel.

| would prefer to see
less emphasis placed
on Grade 12 gradua-
tlon. Why should some-
one be considered a
“dropout” If they don't
have Grade 12. That
person could be the
world’s greatest electri-
cian, artist or have
achieved excellence in
many different fields;
yet not have Grade 12.

Bouquet Garni

Bouquet garni is a collection
of herbs, tied with a bit of string,
then placed i ina simmering sauce
or stew, If dried herbs are used,
wrap them in wel cheesecloth,
The bouquet garni is removed at
the endofthe cooking time.

The Terrace Review asked:

Other than the required courses ~
which exist in the education system, what would you
like to see students learn?

Gerry Lichtenfeld
| would like to see a
university established

in Terrace. | have no
problem with courses
Offered at Northwest
Community College but
the subjects of study
are limited in scope;
there are a lot of in-
terest courses with
good information but |
find Terrace has a
healthy population of
fairly young people in-
volved in business and
government orientated
services. These in-
dividuals often want to
upgrade themselves
through courses which
are only offered at the
university level. Only
certain correspon-
dence courses are
available. | would like
to get an engineering
degree but | can’t living
in the north. | would
have to give up a job,
house and live where |
don’t want to be to do
that. | would like to see
more post secondary
academic expansion in
professional fields at

the local institution.

Ken Proctor

When my daughter
was in school she
learned to spell
phonetically, then Ina
certain grade she was
expected to spell cor-
rectly. | think teachers
should go back to the
proper English system
of spelling properly at
the start. Begin as you
mean to go on.

Maureen Worobey

The required courses
are fine but | would like
to see more emphasis
put back on spelling,
punctuation, writing
skilis; generally better
English. Students tend
to get a rounded educa-
tion but the instructors
seem to be letting the
basics slip. lt would ap-
pear that concepts
such as proper spelling
and punctuation are be-
ing ignored. Unfor-
tunately, students hit
the business world and
are told “this won't
do.” The system of
education seems to be
going on with young
people having trouble
spelling, writing and
adding.

John Clift
| don’t want officials
in the education field to
add courses to the cur-

riculum. l feel
educators should con-
centrate to a greater
degree on the three R’s
(reading, writing and
arithmetic). If students
are considering future
studies in a specialized
field or discipline, they
should be given a
grounding in the basics
at the elementary and
high school level and
concentrate on specific
subjects at the post
secondary level.

Thornhill gets new

Open letter
residents of Thorakill,
The Thornhill

Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment has recently replaced
its first response van with
a new truck, It is a 1986
Ford Econoline with a
stretched body and frame
and it replaces the older
1978 van which by now
had: become very familiar
and noticeable in its lime
green shell.

The old van had served
us very well but in our ef-
forts to. maintain modern
and trouble-free vehicles,
it was time to replace it.

The van was purchased
locally and ordered to our
specifications. Even so, in
order to keep costs down
we ordered it with a bare
interior and decided to do
the interior work
ourselves.

It is almost complete
and it is time to pass along
a few thank you’s to
several of the local mer-
chants, distributors, and
individuals who so kindly
gave of their time and in
many cases materials at
reduced prices or free of
charge: Totem Ford,
Pacific Northern Gas,
Rawcoast Signworks,

Riverside Disposal, Nor-
thern Magneto, Auto
Marine Electric, Western
Pacific Maintenance, Ter-
race Interiors, The Ter-
race Co-op Building Supp-
ly Centre, S.K.B. Auto

Stainton and John Ireland
all gave freely of their time
and services.

We take this opportuni-
ty to thank you all very
much. It is citizens like
yourselves that have in
part let us become what
we are today, a modern
and progressive fire
department.

This is also a good time
to mention that with
winter on our doorstep it
would be a good idea to
check that your chimneys
are clean. While you are
checking this and fire

a

prevention is fresh in your
minds, are your batteries
in your smoke detectors in
good condition and are
your fire extinguishers
charged? (You do have
smoke detectors and fire

extinguishers I hope.)
We are also able to ac-
cept applications for
membership to the Thorn-
hill Fire Department at
this time. For further in-
formation call 638-1466 or
635-5078. You can also
make application in per-
sou at the Thornhill Fire
Hall any Thursday even-
ing between 7 p.m, and 9
p.m, -
