The first of

—— Hospital rings

New Year’s Eve has come and
gone and so has another occasion
of note: the birth of the New
Year's baby at Mills Memorial
Hospital. § This year’s honours
went to Robyne and Kevin Earl of
Terrace. The blessed event
occurred on Jan. 2 at 1:11 p.m.
when 3,730 gram (8 Ib. 34 02.)
Kirsten Earl entered the world,
taking away “baby of the family"
honours from her two-year-old
sister Melissa.

Second and third place in the
New Year’s running, if this was
indeed a race, went to Mary Jane
and Sheldan Morven and Rhona
and Mike Smith. On Jan. 3 at
12:59 p.m. 4,749 gram (10 Ib. 7
oz.) Ms. Morven was born and just
six minutes later, at 1:05 p.m.
3,450 gram (7 lb. 10 oz.) Shawna
Smith entered the world.

There was also a special award
this year... or perhaps we should
say last year. Welcome Wagon
representative Karen Farrell bad
some special gifts for the last
Terrace atea baby born in 1990 to
; mark the 60th anniversary of Wel-
come Wagon in Canada. The gifts
were presented to Phillip
Theodorou'’s mother, Donna Lee
Theodorou of Terrace last week.
Phillip was born on Dec. 28. at
9:15 p.m. and weighed 3,170

grams (6 Ib. 154 0z.).

...and the last of 1990

in New Year

| with gifts to newborns

Although much revelry is
attached to first baby bom each
year, every birth, marriage and the

arrival of every new resident in the

Terrace area is a special occasion
for Welcome Wagon rep Karen
Farrell,

On the average, says Farrell, she
visits 40 new babies and 30 new
families every month with gifts
from eight local Welcome Wagon
sponsors: Gingerbread Playhouse,
Video Stop, Grace Fell Florist,
Shoppers’ Drug Mart, Overwaitea,
Electrolux, Our Baby Impressions
and Sure Exposure Photographic.

But there is, of course, extra
booty for the New Year’s baby. In
addition to free portraits, flowers,
gift certificates and other items
donated by regular local sponsors,

Farrell presented Robyne and
Kirsten Earl with gifts from ICBC,
B.C. Woman to Woman,
Kimberly-Clark, Milupa, Univer-
sity Scholarships of Canada, Desi-
tin, Playtex, Johnson and Johnson,
Grolier, The Children’s Club,
Disny and UNICEF.

And there was more. From Ter-
race doctors there was an infant
car scat and the Mills Memorial
Hospital Auxiliary gave Robyne
and Kirsten a stuffed rocking
horse, a Mills Memorial T-shirt
and a bear bank.
