Grade 7 -. her favourite grade to teach — since 1981. “It was good. I . enjoyed every minute of it,” she said. Hedberg, a few years away from retirement age, said she thought “when I find “something better, I'll retire.” The ‘something bet- - ter” turned out to be her first grandchild, eight-month old. Amelia. Hedberg will be taking care of her when she retires. But she admits that leav- ing the school will hurt. “This is my second home, and this is what I'll miss, my family,” she says of the kids - and staff. Parker agrees. After subbing at Uplands’ for a couple of years, she. moved “to Thornhill Elementary in ~ 1987.

After 25 years of tonstant use; the theatre’s lighting syS- ~ tem is being replaced by up-to-date technology. And none too soon, according to the manager, Karla Hennig. “T can’t tell you how happy we are to.get this upgrade,” says Hennig. “Tt’s taken some years of planning, but we are actually ahead of schedule.” When Hennig became the theatre manager in 2001, she realized she had a dinosaur on her hands. She saw a wonder- ful building that had been lovingly maintained and a lighting system that she can only call a “working museum piece.’ Hennig contacted Alan Brodie, a one-time Terrace resi- . dent, now one of the foremost lighting designers in Canada. Brodie drew up a plan, detailing what the theatre needs now and what it will need in the future. “Alan has been a constant resource for me,” says Hennig. “He has guided me through ‘purchases, given me a tutorial on new consoles, and really been the brains behind this entire upgrade.” As Hennig began to: raise money the REM Lee. re- ceived a lighting console as a private donation — the first phase in Brodic’s plan. It was the first step,” staff and community volunteers helped in the installation. “Jt was a tense time, pulling out the old board, running ca-— bles, soldering equipment and really hoping that, at the end, the console would talk to our antiquated dimmers.” It did. Then, the Rotary'Club of Terrace donated $8, 000 of new. lighting instruments. ~~~ ° “It was like Christmas, says Hennig. “Suddenly we had... instruments which could really do what we wanted them to — that was phase two.” _ This week, the last phase of Brodie’s plan will begin. The 30-year-old dimmers, in use since the theatre opened, will be pulled out and replaced. “We’ll have an up to date system,” says Hennig. “| think the audiences will really notice a dif- ference in.the quality and flexibility of the lighting ~ I know _the performers will.” . Theatre Alive, a non-profit group that raises ‘money ‘for . arts in Terrace, bought the new dimming system. It will take over a week to install and will happen after the Scottish Fid-. | dle Orchestra show July 8. 3005 Dr. R.E.M.
