TERRACE — The work of two
Kitselas carvers now stands in
Vanebuver’s Inuit Gallery in
what they hope is the first of
many displays down south.

Cousins Stan Bevan and Ken
McNeil, both 30, last week
finished 1wo rovem poles carved
in the old Tsimshian style —
carving the entire pole so that it
no longer looks like a Ing. They
were commissioned by the
gallery in April.

The cousins. who last year
worked on four loiem poles for
the Muks-Kurt-Ol housing pro-
ject, are irying to break into the
lucrative market for native carv-
ings down south.

“People down south don't
know our work.” McNeil ex-
plained. **There's quite a few
carvers down (there) and there's
a [ot of pole contracts thrown
around down there, so hopeful-
ly we should get our foot in the
door,”

The seven and eight-foot
poles ~- one representing a
grizzly bear helding three
salmon and one representing 2
human figure and two frogs —
took just over two months to
complete.

“IV feels really good as an at-
tist 10 see your work finished
and standing up, more or less
unveiled, aftcr working on it for
a_long time,” McNeil said.
“This is what we work for.”

McNeil has, been carving for
14 years and Bevan for 11. Both
took training under their uncte,
Dempsey Bob.

The poles, fogs for which
were supplied by Skeena

ellulose, were shipped down
to Vancouver by truck last
week.

TERRACE — Animal lovers
take note.

Revisions to the city’s
animal control bylaw — in

ince Sly 18 — will be
strictly enforced, says animal
control officer Frank
Bowsher,

Bowsher said horse riders
in particular should be aware
they now face the same
regulations regarding exere-
Ment as do dog owners.

“H horses dump on the
sidewalk (riders) ave to
clean it up,” he explained.
Failure to comply will result
ia a $50 fine,

Bowsher said intreduction
of the regulation was promp-
ted by an incident last year
outside 4 Kalum St. store.
“Some young horse rider
had actually allowed his
horse to dump right in front
of the entrance way fo the
store and refustd to clean i:
op.”

Another new regulation
prohibits riders travelling
between Terrace and Thor-
nbill from using either Keith
Ave. or the Sande overpass.
Instead, a new route has been
laid out.

Now, riders coming off the
new Skeena bridge and
heading for the north part of
lown must turn down either
Cramer or Kalum to
Haugland, and then follow a
Haugland-Molitor-Agar
Toute to Kenney,

“They can go anywhere
from there as long as they
stay out af the downtown
core,” Bowsher sat.

‘That core has also been ex-
tended to stretch from
Munroe St. in the west to the
Old Skeena Bridge in the

east, and from Davis Ave, in
the north to Keith Ave. in the
south,

Another sig:
to the bylaw is the addition
of the term “harbourer,””
which is “a person or per
sans who gives shelter to,
feeds or keeps an animal.”

This means that anyone
who looks alter a
neighbour's animal, takes in
or feeds a stray animal is
kegally responsible for it,
Bowsher explained.

‘If you're going to look
after your neighbour's dog,
make sure you can handle
