US pea meet Kitsumkalum me youth group gets federal grant. by Nancy Orr Robin’s Rocking Good Times, a music group from Kit- sumKalum, have received $3,100 from the Ministry of National Health and Welfare, under the National Drug Strategy Pro- gram, the Honorable Perrin Beatty announced on June 25, When the news release came through last week, the Rockin’ Robins were first on my list for. an interview. Not too many rock groups receive a grant from a government agency. Laura Miller, the contact number nam- ed in the release, was phoned to arrange an interview and picture with the group. . She seemed a little puzzled with my questions and when asked if instruments, or music would be purchased with the grant money. ‘Well, they are not active during the .summer,”’ Laura said. ‘It may be difficult to get them together. They meet during the winter on Saturdays and Sundays, sometimes other nights. They have not decided exactly how the money will be used, but Nintendo Games were first on the list, and equipment for making videos: these were the main thrust of their applica- tion. Among other activities, they were planning a Nintendo . tournament for recreation and also as a fund raiser.” When she realized my concep- tion of the group, she laughed heartily and went on to tell me about “ther” youth group.» It had been formed to help provide activities and focus for the youth of their community in Kitsumkalum. The Rockin’ Robins want to develop new skills, to learn the value of hav- ing fun in an alcohol-free en- vironment. The National Drug Strategy directs funds to alcohol-free events planned and implemented by native young people. . The name? Robin is the name of their house, or-clan, ‘so they chose ‘Rockin’ Robins” fo their group. . - Last summer, high school ‘students -had been trained to research the needs of the young people of the community and to present a proposal. Robin’s Rocking Good Times was one result of their research, and also the proposal to the ministry. The group consists of young’ people of all ages ‘‘from two to 21’? as Laura explained. They plan their own activities, and often go to the pool at the hot springs, on local picnics, or have bake sales to raise funds. The numbers vary during the year “depending on local activities’’. There is a plan for topics to be researched by the older ones. during the year and these include ‘ the environment, literacy, urban crime, Aids, apprehension of children by authorities and other serious subjects. ite Terrace Review — Wednesday, July 18, 1990 B13 This Is the gang — or most of it, anyway — called Robin’s Rockin’ Geod Times and their -_ coordinator, Laura Miller.

She loves Pete and will always love him, but she wants a future together, something she can.plan., on. . Pete is Al’s best pilot, but Al knows he’s taking too many chances; he’s notorious for put- ting his life on the line to save others. And Al has a feeling that time, and luck, have just about run out for Pete. Fate finally catches up with Pete when he sacrifices his life to save Al during a mission. But it’s not over for Pete, not yet. He has one more mission to fly, this ‘time as a ghost. And he’d better not screw up because Dorinda’s whole future is at stake. His success or failure will all depend on whether or not he can let go. Steel Magnolias Starring Sally Field, Dolly Par- ton, Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis.

M’Lynn (Sally Field) — her boisterous family has filled her life with an over-generous por- tion of love and contentment. But she is destined for a great tragedy.

Annelle (Daryl Hannah) — quiet and soft spoken, Annelle is like a shy forest creature hiding always in shadow. Truny (Dolly Parton) — good-hearted to a fault, she is everybody’s friend and con- fidante, Yet her life is filled with a secret sadness. Ouisser (Shirley MacLaine) — full of vinegar, Ouisser could curdie milk with just one look. But hidden beneath all the fire is a suspiciously soft heart.
