The Terrace Beautifica- tion Society is asking gar- deners when they clean out old beds or split plants to consider making a donation to the second annual peren- nial flower and garage sale. The sale will be held May 10 at the City Hall parking lot. It's dedicated to the memory of Eva Daniels, who died earlier this year. It was Eva’s generous dona- ‘tion of -a large number of plants that made last year's sale sucha success. So the socicty is hoping to make this year’s sale even better. Examples of peren- nials are: poppies, daisies, iris, hosta, primroses, jacobs ladder, yarrow, bleeding heart, phlox, hollycocks and lily of the valley. Organizers would also like herbs, strawberry plants, taspberry canes, bulbs and indoor plaints. For those people who would like to donate, but do THIS TEAM OF grade seven girls at Clarence Michiel won third place in the provincial Odyssey of the Mind competition. Another Clarence Michiel team took first place in its category. Medal winners THE THREE TERRACE teams who took part in the chal- lenging Odyssey of the Mind provincial competition, fin- ished in the top five. Odyssey of the Mind is an international competition for teams of students Grom kindergarten to grade 12. It chal- lenges them to solve problems with creativity, logic and teamwork, Adult involvement is strictly limited. All ideas and solutions have to come from the kids. Students prepare a solution to a long-term problem be- fore competition, and have to answer a spontaneous ques- tion at the event. In order to get to the provincials, Terrace students com- peted in the regionals in Prince Rupert on March 8. Three teams from there advanced to the provincials in Kelowna on April 5. Two teams were from Clarence Michiel and they placed first and third in their divisions, while the other team was from Uplands, It placed fourth. Now the first place team hopes to travel to the interna- tional competition June 4-7 in Baltimore, It’s the first time a Terrace team has traveled to the worlds. The team of boys aged 10-12 was coached by Mac Godo. They competed against seven other teams to win the prize in their age division. Godo’s team had to make a bridge out of 35 grams of balsa wood for their solution to the long-term program. They had to design a structure which held as much weight as possible, The team practiced making the bridge before the event by making Jaminated balsa wood beams. The bridge held _ 108 Ibs at the competition. ‘It’s quite sophisticated, even at these levels,'’ said Godo. The team’s gold medal win was even more impressive considering only part of the team travelled to Kelowna and so they didn’t have the recommended minimum for the spontaneous question part of the competition. --..The other-team from Clarence Michiel of grade seven’ girls finished third out of 15 teams. They entered a category called heroic proportions. Their long term problem was to write, produce, direct and act in a play which had a character with an out-of-proportion characteristic, Their play was called ‘*Life’s a Zoo” and was aboul a kangaroo with an extra-long tail. He saved the life of a despondeni mother kangaroo who leapt off a cliff — by using the tai] as a rope — aud the life ofa pig, by using the tail to perform the Heimlich manoeuvre. The Uplands team was boys and girls from grades 4-7. They built an omerdroid, an android-puppet, and uscd it in a play. “They did a really good job,”’ said coach Barbara Ames, '“They had to compete against bigger kids, so it was quite an accomplishment.’’ Now ihe team travelling to the world compelition is trying to raise $7,000 before Junc.
