as Official
mascot

Appropriately named
**B.C.”’, the cartoon
character, has been
adopted as the official
mascot of the Provincial
B.C. Games organiza-
tion.

The design — a styliz-
ed drawing of an
evergreen tree bearing
the games torch — was
developed two years ago
when it was decided the
games needed to be
represented by more then
the ‘‘torch and
dogwood” logo.

**B.C,’’ readily lends
himself to film anima-
tion and has been used in
TV, radio and
newspaper advertising
on behalf of the games.
He also makes personal
appearances (in the form
of “B.C.” costume) so
be sure to watch for him
during the 1986 Winter
Games,

TERRACE — Bev Shaw
is one of the volunteers
for the B.C. Winter
Games. For four hours a
week, Shaw answers the
telephone ready to pass
on any information on
the games and to be part
of it with her husband
Len Shaw, who is in
charge of communica-
tions for the games.
Shaw’s six-year-old
son Aaron attends
school all day and she
said, '‘It was a chance to
get out and to do
something for Terrace.”

Terrace Review — Wednesday, Feb. 26, 1986 WG15

Torchlighting ceremony
; signified weeks of

hard work to come

It was a bitterly cold
evening, but the weather
didn’t deter several hun-
dred people from turning
out at the Municipal Hall
for the ceremonial torch-
lighting program late in
November of last year.

Hard work

It signified the begin-
ning of weeks of hard
work leading up to the
province-wide B.C.
Winter Games, which
had been awarded to
Terrace months earlier.

A small parade from
Lower Little Park to the
torch site kicked things
off. Three local ath-
letes — Mee Law Long,
Michelle Johnson and
Joe Mandur — conveyed
the small portable torch
to its massive sister

erected beside the
cenotaph in front of the
hall.

Provincial cabinet
minister Jim Chabot and
Inland Natural Gas vice-
president Geoff Solly
combined to light the tall
structure.

Words of pride

A few dignitaries
spoke words of pride
that our small communi-
ty should be chosen for
such a major event. The
crowd heard from for-
mer Mayor Helmut Gies-
brecht, local games’
chairman Gary Baker,
games’ managing direc-
tor Ron Butlin and
Skeena MLA Frank
Howard.

And they were treated
to music by the Veritas

school choir with their
rendition of O’Canada,
and the winter games
song which was written
by Jo-anne Holden. It
was chosen best among
several song enteries.

| Fireworks

Many of the hundreds
on hand then headed for
Skeena junior high
school where they were
treated to a_ special
display of fireworks to
top off the evening's
events.

The torch-lighting was
the first public indication
that our hundreds of
volunteers must now roll
up their sleeves and get
on with the massive task
of producing the best
B.C. Winter Games ever.
