It is what is known as a cavity nester, nesting in dead trees and, in particular, old woodpecker nests.

A ‘standing ovation to Norm and Linda Frank, Jim Stain- ton, Bonnie’ Larson, Sharlene Butler, Ann Ansen, Sharon Kohl and to those I’ve inadvertently left out. The attendance was ex- cellent although some of “‘us . out of towners’’ were somewhat disappointed in the ‘'non attendants’’ living locally, How wonderful it wauld have been to see you again, too. -The 1965 reunion allowed us to stroll down memory lane hand in hand with our former friends and classmates.

The puppets all told stories about the woods, the creatures — “our friends in the forest’’ — living there and how we should not destroy the forest. The audience also learned. about all the different trees and _ their uses. For example, how the Indians used cedar bark to make fishing nets and buckets and the tree itself for canoes and totems. Each puppet was also made of a different type of " wood. After the: performance, everyone had the opportunity to sample some freshly made Zaporzan will be Contributed Approximately 200 people gathered at the Sacred Heart Catholic church July 25 for the funeral of Vic Zaporzan. Born in Bonnyville, Alta, Oct. 10, 1937, Vic moved to Terrace with his father, Michael, following the death in 1942 of mother Tilly. School completed, he began a more than 20 year stint working with Beaver Logging. Vic then bought his own equipment and contract logged for a number of local forestry operations, . « - In 1964 he met and married Pat Bohan. The couple had three children — Susan, Terry and Christine. A keen outdoorsman, Vic spent many weekends hunting and fishing. That love of the outdoors also meant if you travelled with him you soon learned to slow down and ap- preciate the natural surroun- dings. Vic also volunteered much of his spare time to coach, manage and provide transportation for local minor hockey teams, Dur- tst 2nd Prize Winner ’ congratulated Safeway manager, -Johanson.
