Hale’s tales of the grizzly

who likes to steal porridg

I WOULD like to inform
everyone that on Saturday,
June 24 from 1 to 3 p.m,
Jerry and Rose Hale will
be at the Coles book store
at the Skeena Mall for a
book signing session,

Their’ latest book, The
Adventure of Muskwa, is a
true life story that took
place in the beautiful Cas-
Siar mountains at Tatogga

. Lake, BiG; - -

In it, Jerry and Rose tell
of Muskwa, a huge grizzly
bear who paid them an un-
expected visit in 1997,

After-a’ few years of
some very hard times
while living. in- Alberta,
where they lost their home

‘la. the. ‘bank, Jerry and

Rose .

Hale moved to Tatogga
Lake to operate the Tatog-
ga Lake Resort. In 1994,
they sold’ the business to
Bunty Altaus and retired to
live in their home at Ta-
topga Lake. © ,

Once, while they were
away visiting their family
in Alberta, Muskwa, a
huge grizzly bear, entered
their home and proceeded
to tear the place apart. The
first time he entered, he

went through a window

and made himself comfart-
able in the bed.

-Later, he returned and
started ripping apart a
wall, and starting destroy-
ing things. He somehow
smashed a rocking chair
and proceeded to eat
everything he could - in-
cluding the porridge.

When ‘Jerry and Rose
returned home to this ter-
tible mess, they had to buy
a new bed, a new rocking
chair, and, of course, more
porridge. Then they went
ahead to try and bear-proof
their house.

After this was all done,
and when Jerry and Rose
told friends about their ter-
tifying story, they said it

Marion Purschke, seen here holding the cake, was the guest of honour at a

recent party marking her 7Oth birthday, where she was joined by her good
friand, Jean Maroney, seen seated to her right, and Bernadette Hallock.

was like a real-life fairy-
tale: Goldilocks and the
Three Bears,

So, they decided to
write about the bear exper-
ience in a book, and that’s
how The Adventure of
Muskwa came to be,

So, if you want to find
out more on Muskwa, just
drop down to Coles book
store in the Skeena Mall
on Saturday, June 24, and
you can talk ta Jerry and
Rose Hale about their life

on the shores of Tatogga
Lake.

Jerry and Rose have
now had three books pub-
lished. The other two are /
Never Walked Alone and
My Walk With God.

YOU BE THE JUDGE

BY CLAIRE BERNSTEIN

Take My Ex-Wife!

Joe was sitling facing his psychologist.
Tears streamed from his eyes.

His psychologist, was sympathetic.

“Tissue?”

“No thanks.”

Silence.

The psychologist broke the silence.

“So how did the divorce trial go, Joe?”

“Terrible. Linda, my ex; gol custody of
Amanda. Amanda's fifteen...

She's such a wonderful child. And |
won't be there for her during these important
years,” Joe sighed. “The judge ordered me to.

pay Linda $1200 a.month. for her. support...

and $500 .c month for Amanda,“
The psychologist looked puzzled.

“What's the matter with Linda? Can‘t

she work for herself? I's not as if you're a
high-flying executive. You work in a sawmill.”

The lears kept pouring.

“Tissue?”

“No, thanks,”

Silence. ;

Finally Joe spoke up. “Linda never got
beyond high school. Shes only worked in low
paying clerical jobs. Plus, she’s bean off the
work market for 13 years. Because‘of all
that, the judge ruled that she can‘t work. Sof
have to pay.”

The psychologist looked at his watch.

“Time's up, Joe. See you next month.”

Al the next session Joe was terribly
agilated.

“You've got to help me. Linda won't let
me sea Amanda.”

The psychologist tensed.

“Did you speak to your lawyer?” |.

“Yes, We went to court. But she still
refused and the judge held her in contempt of
court, She went fo jail for 30 days.”

_ Its time she went out and go! ajob

BASED.ON
ACTUAL COURT

The psychologist relaxed.
» “So everything is okay, right?”

“Wrong!!! Linda still refuses to allow
me to see. my daughter! And now, Amanda
herself refuses.ta see me, Linda has poi-
sohed Amanda's mind. | spoke to my law-
yer. Nothing can be done.’

Joe's head drooped on his chest.

"| love my daughter. | don't deserve
Linda's hatred.” ~~ |

One month later, the psychologist got a
phone.call from Joe:

“I can't come today. |'m going to court.
last my job. What a disaster! I’m asking
the court if can stop paying Linda alimony.

In court, Joe was desperate, “Your

Honour, ils unfair for me to pay any support
to my ex-wile, Linda has made no effort to
ind ‘a job, meanwhile | am being laid off.
She has been in contempt of court and had
not allowed me to visit my daughter for five
years.”
Linda fought back, “Joe is grasping for
any excuse he can to gel oul of paying, Your
Honour. | can’t work Becouse | have no job
skills. | should not be persecuted just
because Amanda does not want to see her
aller.”

Should Joe be forced to pay alimony?
YOU! Be the Judge! Then lack belaw for the
