QU CAN SENSE

something — special
aboul Deb Cascy
from the moment

you meet her.

There is a presence about her —
a quiel confidence — that tells
you she will go far.

At the age of 16, she: is the

youngest person in Terrace to
hold a black belt in karate.

And now she is becoming the
only student from this area ever
lo be accepied into the prestigious

Lester .B. Pearson College of the

Pacific.

Only 100 students are accepled
into the world-renowned school
each year.

Twenly-five are selected from

across Canada, and 75 more are _.

picked from countries around the’
world,

“It really is a big honour,” says
Caledonia Sr. Secondary School
principal Tom Hamakawa.

Her karate instructor, Norm
Goodlad, is not surprised by
Deb’s success.

“When she sets her goal
on something, she’s going
to make it. There’s just no
stopping her.”’

“*That’s the kind of delermina-
lion she has when she sels out to
do something,” he says. “‘When
she sets her goal on something,’
she’s going to make it. There's ,
just no stopping her.”?

Perhaps one in 500 people who

enter the local Chito-Ryu style
karate club have what it takes to -

persevere and altain a black bell.

Thomson.

But it will be interesting, all &X-

the senses, she says.

“It’s never been done before in
Terrace,” Thomson says. “The
lown itself doesn’t know what it
is — in fact nobody will know

whal itis until we do it.”
Eight girls from Caledonia Sr.
Secondary School and Skeena Jr.

Secondary School are participa-.

ting in the project, which is caor-

dinated by Thomson, a local

painter, and Carla Glen, a theatre
actor and director,

The performances are schedul- .

ed for May 25, 26, and 27th.

But that doesn’t mean the gal-
lery is closed until then. -

Everyone’ s welcome to drop in

and watch the evolution of the:

set, she says. The preparing of the
set got underway this-week.

“The gallery’s going to be.

‘THE SALVATION ARMY

transformed,’’ Thomson says. ‘‘Tt
will look more like a forest than a
gallery.’’

“When the public enters it they
become part of the artwork
ihey’re among — nol just spec-
tators., They experience and inter-
act with the installation.”’

Tt won't just be a visual experi-
ence either, she says, There will
be sound and smell as well.

It’s all part of the gallery’s plan
to do more outreach programs
and get the community more in-
volved in the art gallery.

“We watt to get more young
people ‘involved, she said.

Walkathon planned to help Guy

Walk your dog and help a Terrace youth in his battle against can-
cer,

That’s the idea Skeena Valley Kennel Club members had when
they planned their May 23rd Canines for Cancer walkathon to sup-
port 19-year-old Guy Mortimer.

“We just wanted to do something for him,’’ said Shannon Bogart.

Mortimer is in hospital in Vancouver recovering from a hip re-
placement operation and a third round of chemotherapy.

He was diagnosed with bone cancer in January.

Bogart’s brother, Dave Dempster, was one of seven friends of
Guy’s who shaved their heads in solidarity,

The walkathon will take place May 23 [rom-10 a.m. to 3 p.m..in
Lower Little Park.

Bogart said anyone is welcome to get pledges and come. out and
walk their dog in support of Guy.

The course set oul is two and a half kilometres,

There will be a canteen and bake sale sel up, 2s well as obedience
demonstrations and a purebred dog display,

“I’m hoping we can make. this an annual event,”’ Bogarl said.
“It’s a really good cause and there are always people who can use
this kind of help.”’

They're encouraging clubs and businesses to patcipate by chal-
lenging cach other. ;

It’s time to raise the flag

Local residents have a chance at cakes, refreshments and enter-

“tainment this Saiutiay as part of ‘Raise the Flag’’ activities al the
‘Kin Hut.

The event is sponsored by the local Kinettes club and is being
held in conjunction. with similar ones across Canada the same day.

The first ‘*Raise the Flap’’ day took place last year during the
country’s 125th birthday, says local organizer and Kinelle Kathy
Hicks,

selas Dancers, Terrace. Pipes and Drums,” Scoitish dancers,
