aS 2 Terrace Review — Wednesday, Feb. 5, 1986 Women’s center responds to questions ‘by Keith Alford The Terrace Women’s Resource Centre has responded to a request made by Mr, and Mrs. Mark Ruelle to Terrace city council to have a municipal subsidy with- drawn from the centre ‘so long as it continues to support or participate in abortion counselling and referrals.”’ The Women’s Centre is based in a municipally- owned house which it rents for $1 per year, In return, both council members and women’s centre personnel point out, the centre has done major renovations to the building from funds raised elsewhere. Centre director Pat Cathers said last summer thousands of dollars were spent to remodel their building’s base- ment. It now has natural gas heating instead of oil. It has a large meeting | room, complete with new fire door, available - to other community groups, plus smailer Little hope for soup kitchen meeting rooms. A great plus to centre programs are facilities now available for mothers who need to bring their children along in order to attend centre gather- ings. There is a diaper change room and facili- ties for babysitting in the remodeled basement. Cathers said the child- care facilities will be operated on a co-op basis. Both Women’s Centre members and some al-. dermen say the city got the Carpenters’ Hall provided premises for the soup kitchen from February 1984 to June from p.1 “They told us there was a feeling among the membership that they’d like to have their hall back,’’ Buck said. ‘They were very reason- able — we're grateful they let us use the hall for over a year.” Buck also extended time and talk about their experiences in the °30s when there were bread- lines and soup kitchens everywhere,’’ she said. Food for Thought, as the name implies, gave its clients a great deal more than simple nutri- tion. It served as a drop- in center for people who couldn't afford to go Lunches were given to local school children on a daily basis, and videos were shown one -Satur- day per month complete with popcorn and fruit juices. It appears doubtful that the soup kitchen will open again. Jo Buck concludes, the best of the deal financially on the $1 per year rental, Aside from the mone- tary aspect, the Ruelle’s have raised the question of abortion counselling at the centre. Cathers said the Wom- en’s Centre mandate is as a support service for all women. ‘‘We never mention abortion first,’’ she said, adding, ‘‘we have a lot of mothers here.” Cath- ers said the centre’s stan- ‘dard is that women have choices for everything. Cathers said the Wom- en’s Centre per se does not engage in abortion Terrace Court On Monday, Jan. 20 Larry Bellamy was fined $750 in Terrace Provin- cial Court for operating a motor vehicle while having more than 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres. of blood.

Bridge. to be closed The Thornhill Creek Bridge on Highway 37, between Krumm Road and Creek Street closed on Monday, Feb. 3 fora two-week period, said highways district manager Ken Rensby. We're rebuilding the deck and floor system using “ekki” wood. It’s a very hard wood, ex- plained Rensby. It’s the same kind of material used on the Old Skeena Bridge in 1981, which to date, shows virtually no wear. Thornhill Creek Bridge is expected to re- open on Saturday, Feb. 15. The cost of the pro- ject was not available at the time of press release. counselling, however, the Terrace Pro-Choice Committee sometimes uses the premises for counselling as well as in- dividual homes and then. only when the women in- volved asks for it. It was the Pro-Choice Commit- tee that placed the news- | paper ad the Ruelle’s ob- jected to, said Cathers. The Women’s Centre attempts to tend to all of a woman’s needs, the emotional, the spiritual and the physical. For Cathers women should not be denied the right to. discuss abortion, which is legal in Canada, or anything else.
