| Think of the ones you love Contributed by Kitimat Coast Guard Aux. How much does a VHF radio cast? ‘In dollars, most boats here in-the area burn that amount of fuel in two weekend fishing trips, some in only one, But the real cost of not having a radio is what hap- pens to your family and lov- ed ones when you get into trouble. _First they get a little wor- ried and say ‘He'll be OK. The fishing was good and he’s just jate.’’ Then as the hours drag on’ they start to imagine all the things that can go wrong. , Was the water too rough to come home? Has the motor broken down? Or have they hit a rock and - J sunk? My ’ | husband/brother/loved one may be floating around somewhere out there. The last five search and rescue operations in this area all shared two common Tesults: 1. Fortunately no lives were lost, 2, They all escalated to a Search and Rescue operation because none of them had a VHF radio. Had they been able to communicate, their situation would not have been as hard on their loved ones. Knowing that you are only overdue doesn’t give the coast guard the information and time to find you and pre- [vent an accident becoming a tragedy, Although Prince Rupert coast guard can pick up VHF transmissions from the five- watt portable hand held radios, there are ‘‘dlind spots’? in this area. A 25-watt transceiver will reach Prince Rupert in all but a very few of these spots. - | Please, spare your family a | - | whole lot of grief and buy a | VHF radio. Jeweller reflec Friends from the Skeena Mall gathered together on Saturday evening — Mar. 21 — at the new Terrace Inn for a surprise farewell retirement party for Mr. and Mrs. Lehmann. A presentation of a beautiful framed picture of the Seven Sisters Mountain by Vi Timmer- . man was given to the Lehmanns asa gift of farewell from friends in the mall. Mr, and Mrs. Lehmann arriv- ed in Terrace in Nov. of 1967, first starting up their jewellery business on Kalum &t. Heinz Lehmann first arrived in Canada on Nov. 15, 1951 from Germany. He went to work at the Premier mine in Stewart where he worked until late in 1952 when he was injured and hospitalized in Prince Rupert. While recovering there he first met Edith Kawinsky ‘who was nursing there. Mr. Lehmann moved to Van- couver where he found work. It was there at a’New Year’s Eve celebration that he met his wife Gertrude. On Sept. 4, 1954 they were married. The Lehmanns had two daughters — Karen and Sabrina — both of whom were born at the Grace Hospital in Van- couver, While Mr. Lehmann was working for Simpson Sears (in charge of the watch depart- ment} a friend told him of a jewellery store for sale up in Terrace. The store had belonged to Jake Broer, who had passed away. Mr. Lehmann went home that night and said to his wife “How would you like to move to Terrace?’’ Two weeks later the Lehmann family packed all their belong- ings and drove to their new home in Terrace in November of 1967. After a few. weeks in town, they received a phone call from Edith Kawinsky asking if he was the Mr. Lehmann she nursed in the Prince Rupert hospital, Mr. Lehmann said this was such a wonderful feeling as to be living in a new place not knowing anyone, Mr. and Mrs. Lehmann stayed at their Kalum 5t. loca- tion until 1974, when‘they: move.

Their retirement plans are to stay in Terrace — both say it’s a ereat place to live. The Lehmanns say they will spend some time visiting their children now.

A big thank-you to Mrs. Murray from Delta for the old photographs. In the picture you can see the 5 cent to $1.00 store, then owned by Mr. Duffus, In the middle is the jewellery store, first opened at this location by Mr. Cook from Cook’s Jewellery in Ptince Rupert in the al 1954, It was later sold to a Mr. Feen and then to Jake Broer — and then of course Mr. Lehmann. The Royal Bank opened at this location on July 2, 1947 and 1 believe the building was built by the Eby people. kkk kkk I know I’m in deep trouble. I must apologize to Muriel Michiel for last week's gaffe of giving her 90 candles when she only deserved 70. Happy birth- day, Muriel — we all know you look great at 70. Many more years of good health. kek kkk I hope you went out to the Terrace Figure Skating Club's ice carnival “Skating through the ages’’. What a great show! Both skaters and costumes were wonderful. A big pat on the back to all the hard workers who made such a fantastic even- ing come together. ; ‘ A FIFTIES-ERA view of Kalum Street shows the original jocation of Lehmann Jewellers, The location is now an empty lot adjacent to where Don Diego’s restaurant now stands. The Lehmanns operated the jewellery store for 25 years — through three generations of some local farnilies. HEINZ AND TRUDY Lehmann marked 25 years in Terrace with their retirement last week.
