Terrace cedar for Holland homes

SOMETIMES even when you
go half way around the world,
you find a bit of home.

During a four week vacation
to Holland, Derk Van De
Velde spent a day with his
nephew, Henry Ten Klooster,
a fransport truck driver at
Stiho warehouse. On a build-
ing material delivery trip they
noticed the red cedar shingles
on the truck were stamped
Copper Mountain Cedar Pro-
ducts Ltd., Old Lakelse Lake
Road, Terrace, B.C,

These number one grade
cedar shingles were all pre-cut
and had been shipped from
Jake Penner’s cedar and
shingle mill.

Derk Van De Velde and his
wife Anne were in Holland
visiting their relatives, They
also timed the visit to coincide
with the May 5 50th anniver-
sary celebration of the end of
World War II. Every town in
Holland took part in the
festivities.

Neither Derk nor Anne were
directly involved with the war,
but they and their families
were living there during the
war, They and many others
were forced to flee to safety,
and both remember the
hardships very well.

During their visit to Holland
they made several day trips to
Belgium, Luxembourg and
Tricr, Germany.

They had a great time, visit-
ing relatives and friends.

Now, for a little background
about the Van De Veldes.

Both Derk and Anne were
born in Holland. The couple
married on September 1, 1950
at Zwartslivis, Holland. At the
time Derk was working on a
dairy farm.

While living in Holland,
three of their children were
bom. Then on June 29, 1954
Derk and Anne and their chil-
dren immigrated to Canada.

They stayed for one week
with a relative in Telkwa, then
moved to Terrace on July 15,
1954, 41 years ago.

The family first stayed in a
little house on Park Avenue,
next door to Harvey Doll.

Derk got a job working for |

Ermie Sande in the mill. Then
in 1956 he bought some prop-
erty at 4722 Loen Ave.

With help from friends they
built a home, and still live’
there today.

Derk worked at the Sande
Mill for 11 years, then went to
work for the Department of
Highways as a truck driver.
He worked there until his
retirement in 1988 — 21 years
of service.

Derk and Anne Van De
Velde are now enjoying their
retirement years, travelling
and spending time with fam-

ily.

Just a little side note about Jake
Penner’s cedar and shake mill. He
says everything is cut here, then
shipped to Mission, B.C. to his
broker, Anglo-American Cedar
Products,

From there, the wood is put into
containers and sold to buyers in

With this I would like to say
hats off to all the Terrace loggers
who go to work in the wee hours
in the moming in many
dangerous conditions. They help
keep Terrace alive.

kkkkk

I would also like to say a job
well done to the city crew who
did the clean up at 4600 block
Lakelse Ave. They cleaned all the
weeds from around the trees and
sidewalks,

Now if only the rest of the
downtown could be done.
Certainly it could look much
tidier.
