ee | Borderline diabetic moves with caution TERRACE — Paul Nichol, member of the Terrace Branch of the Canadian Association, has lived in Terrace for about 22 years. Nichol has been a member of the C.D.A. for about nine years and is a borderline diabetic. by Philip Musselman Over the nine years he has been with the C.D.A. Nichol has participated in several canvassing runs in Terrace. He finds that people are generally plea- sant and try to donate depending on their economic status. ‘‘The main problem is that we cannot find enough people to canvass the area.’’ Nichol stated, ‘‘It’s hard to find people that will volunteer their time to ‘help.”’ November is Diabetic month and the reaction is very favourable. During this time the organization sells tickets for the Honda Raffle that is held every year. Ticket sales have gone well; the Terrace group only has about ten books left. Nichol is also -involved with the Elks Club in Terrace, who have contributed to the C.D.A. in the past. During his ex- perience Nichol has found that about three quarters of the homes he canvassed gave what they could. As a borderline diabetic Nichol has to stay away from sugar, and be careful what he eats, or drinks. He finds that he isn’t do- ing too badly and he feels fairly good. The impor- tant thing is to be cautious and take one step at a time, Nichols concluded. The C.D.A. is doing a lot of research into the disease and within about five years, Nichols thinks that they should have diabetes pretty well cor- raled for children. azkkt What's new in town?

Diabetes - A shoplifting prevention program was Introduced in local schools recently by Constable Ewen Harvie of the Terrace detachment who answered the many questions from Grades slx and seven students at Copper Mountain Elamentary School In Thornhill. Shoplifting: It’s no way to make your mark TERRACE —Constable Ewen Harvie was out visiting Terrace schools last week. His theme was prevention of shop- lifting. by Daniele Berquist Harvie stressed to local students that shoplifting is stealing, which is a crime. You may not be sent to jail for it. You may just be given a fine, or put on probation. But there will be a police record, and that record will show your name, and beside it there will be the word ‘‘thief’’. Harvie answered the often asked question, ‘‘why do kids shoplift?’’ Here’s what shoplifters have said in a survey: I did it for kicks, it was an im- pulse, 1 did it on a dare, just a prank and it was part of an initiation. It takes more courage to turn down a dare than to accept it. Harvie explained that, yes, you’re a juvenile, but you’re still responsible for what happens. The identi- ty of a juvenile who com- mits a crime isn’t made public, but a juvenile who. is arrested and convicted Drug, alcohol abuse workshop held TERRACE — On Noy, 12 a drug abuse workshop was held for local parents. The event was spon- sored by the Terrace Centennial Lions Club, and was designed to let parents know there is help available for children hav- ing drug related problems. RCMP representative Constable McNevitts and the Northwest Drug and ‘vice Alcohol Counselling Ser- covered several aspects of help available in the community, as well as laws and guidelines related to drug use. It was stressed that parents should seek counselling in order to deal with a teen’s prob- lem. Information about fu- ture workshops is available from local schools or the RCMP. Swimmers to finals High school swimming is one of those rare sports whereby students only have to beat set times, and not other teams in order to participate in the B.C. finals. Such is the case with coach Barry Davies’ Caledonia High School team which is competing against the best teenaged _ swimmers in the province at the B.C. Champion- ships for schools this weekend. The Terrace youngsters will swim in time trials and heats on Friday at UBC's swimming pool. The finals will be held Saturday afternoon. The seven Caledonia swimmers making the trip are Tony Broman, Eric Bergsma, Brad Lane, Inga Davis, Justine Ewart, Tammi Hodson and Tracey McFarland. Weather unpredictable TERRACE — Winter is here with its icy lash, engulfing Terrace with snow and ice. The’ first snowfall at the airport oc- curred on Oct. 31, and the Weather Office reported nothing out of the or- dinary when compared to earlier years; although George Blakey did admit, that it did seem a little ear- ly for the snow to be ac-_ tually staying on the ground. Temperatures have fallen a_ bit prematurely, but this is nothing to be alarmed about. ‘‘Just because winter has come early doesn’t necessarily mean that Terrace is in for a long winter season,’’ Blakey concluded, still gets a police record, and that record can ruin your chances in life. The courts also have the power to transfer a juvenile offender to Adult Court, where young peo- ple can be given jail sentences, and quite often are. Theft is a criminal of- fence and shoplifting is theft. If you are arrested you can’t hide it from your parents, Harvie noted. He tells youngsters, “be smart, don’t shop- lift.”’ It just isn’t worth it, whatever way you look at it. You’ve got too many things to see and do and be to risk losing any of it. Constable Ewen Harvie is part of the Terrace RCMP crew, police who care. a NORTHWEST COMMUNITY COLLEGE 5331 McConnell Ave Terrace B.C.
