To start off, I want to tell
you that next Saturday there is

a bake sale at the Co-op by the

ladies of the Skeena Valley Fall
Fair. They are the best bakers
in town, so don’t miss it. From
there you can go to the Annual
Farmers Market Christmas Sale
at the Arena Banquet room.

Do you know that this week
is Canada Music Week? I
didn’t know, but I found out it
was when I went to the recital
at the Northwest Academy of.
Performing Arts, right here in
Terrace on Nov. 15.

Canada Music Week is spon-
sored by the Canadian Federa-
tion of Music Teachers. It’s
purpose is to encourage the
composing of Canadian music
and to have it heard. The main
focus is on Canadian content.

_ Concerts are being held all

throughout Canada this week,

‘and Terrace was no exception.

Junior students of Marylin
Davies, Jim Ryan and Tanya
McKenzie displayed their skills
and artistry on piano and ,
various other instruments..
Pupils participating were Simon
Phillips, Travis Murphy,
Margot McKeown, Tim
Phillips, Sorraya Manji, Zoe
North, Simon Hilcove, Scottee
Rutham, Kevin Murphy,
Patrick Phillips, Aisha Manji,
Lara Tassaro, Gynette Gogag,

Jennifer Zucchiatti, Erin Parr,

Marco Nieto, T-Jay MacKenzie
and Kelly MacNeill. The ac-
companist was Bonnie
MacNeill.

The really neat thing about
this years concert was that
three pices of music were com-
posed by Terrace people and
heard for the first time at the
concert. Tim Phillips played
‘‘Fanfare and Dance’? on the
piano: an original composition
by Terry Anderson. Marco
Nieto played his own composi-
tion, ‘‘A Taste of Terrace’’, on
guitar, and Erin Parr and Kelly
MacNeill teamed up to play
Jim Ryan’s ‘Northern Calyp-
so” on the piano,

Despite the drenching rain,
parents, brothers and sisters
came out to listen. It was an
enjoyable eveing.

When Rene Le Blanc came
home from church last Satur-
day night, he was surprised by
about 30 people, who had
gathered in the basement of his
home, to help him celebrate his
60th birthday and his coming

'” retirement from Alcan. | hear

py Birthday Rene, and many
Happy Returns.

year-old Flowergirl Lisa
Heinricks and her twin brother
Michael as Ring Bearer started
the procession. Lisa looked
lovely in her long dress of
fuchsia taffeta, accented with.
white lace. Michael looked very
handsome in his black tuxedo.

They were followed by the
Bride’s Attendant, Naomi
Akutagawa. Naomi looked
beautiful in a strapless fuchsia
taffeta dress. She wore elbow
length white lace gloves and
carried a white lace parasol,
decorated with tiny dusty rose
silk flowers.

To the music of: ‘A Gift
from God’’ by Kenney Marks,
the Bride entered the church on
the arm of her father Stan
Kinkead. her gorgeous white
satin gown had a lace scalloped
V-neck, with a delicate white
lace front and a beautifully
flowing white satin train with a
ruffled edge. The Bride also
carried a white lace parasol,

- decorated with fuchsia, pink

and white silk flowers.
Awaiting her was the
Groom, and Best Man John
Richardson, both handsomely
dressed in black tuxedos.
Pastor Paul Mohninger, a
friend of both families, trav-

ceremony.

After the vows, the happy
couple lit the Unity candle and
signed the register. A tablecloth
crocheted by the Bride’s grand-
mother adorned the table with
the Register.

After the church ceremony
the couple went for a romantic

ride in an open carriage, pulled.

by two black horses, with Nan-
cy Nelson in classic attire
holding the reins.

The reception was held at the
Kin Hut, where a delicious
smorgasbord dinner was served
to 150 guests.

Mr. Paul Paquette, the
Groom's father, was the Emcee
for the evening. He started by
welcoming the newlyweds into
the family and as he finished
his ‘speech, he left them with a
verse from the Bible, Joshua
24-15: but as for me and my —
house, we will serve the Lord.
Next was the Bride’s father to
say a few words, and he also
welcomed them into their fami-
ly. Best Man John Richardson
reflected on their friendship
and the good times they had
gone through together. The
cutting of the wedding cake
followed. It was a beautiful.

The newlyweds spent their
honeymoon in Disneyland and

Last Saturday was a busy
day in town, There were teas,
bazaars and Christmas sales all
over the place. I started by go-
ing to the Arena banquet room
where the Home-Based
Business Fair and Sale was
held, Although this group is in
its infancy, I know that his sale
will become very popular. It *
has a lot of potential.

From the Arena I went to
the Happy Gang Centre tea
and bazaar. This is a very
popular one, and this year was
no exception. The bazaar was
held downstairs, and there were
oodles of people milling about,
buying all that good junk they
just could not do without.
There were tables with new ar-
ticles, like the table with all the
beautiful knitting and crochet,
handmade tree ornaments etc.
Personally I can never pass a
table with good baking on it.
So with my muffins and all the
good junk, I'want upstairs to
have tea, The tea just hit the
spot and the fancy sandwiches
and sweets were delicious. The
ladies of the Royal Purple had
given the Happy Gang
members a hand by making the
sandwiches and helping out in
the kitchen. The Happy Gang
members were busy pouring tea —
and coffee and bringing the
plates with the goodies around.
It was a very busy place.

From there I went to the
Ceritennial Christian School for
their annual tea and bazaar and
it was just as busy there. While
the grown ups walked around .
at the bazaar or had tea, the
little folk were not forgotten.
They had lots to do for all
ages. There were long lineups
for the Possum Shoot and the

And then, of course, there
was the annual Christmas sale
at the Skeena Mall. Every time
I go to one of those sales, I am
amazed at the things people
make in this town. We have so
much talent out there. My feet
became glued to the floor at
the pottery place. Kay, Pat and
