BCIT, Nisgaa | strike deal

For the first time in B.C. a na- live group and a post-secondary institution have established scholarships specifically designed to encourage native students to enroll in trades and technical pro- grams,

The Nisga’a Tribal Council and the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) have teamed up lo officially launch up to six BCIT entrance awards for Nisga’a studenls worth up to $2,000 each.

Students must be Nisga’a, have good marks and be involved in school or community activities to qualify, said BCIT financial. aid coordinator Jennifer Orum.

“Marks, while important, are nol everything,”” she said. ‘We are looking for highly motivated, all-round students who - know what they want to get out of BCIT.”’

Interesied students need to app- ly by an April 30 deadline.

She also said BCIT would give Nisga’a award winners ‘‘priority assistance”’ in finding accomoda- tion on or off campus.

“BCIT will make a special cE

fort to help find housing for any mature students who wish to. take

(heir families,’’ she added.

Only 35 to 50. native students currently attend the Bumaby in- stitute,

“Clearly. this number is too low,’ Orum said. “ We hope this pilot program will.open up op- portunities: so that other First Na- tions will, be. able to fake ad- vantage of the. trades and tech- nologies we have to offer.” .

School District 92 ‘chairman Jacob McKay hailed the scholar- ships.

“These. scholarships provide a pathway to an institution that few nalive people have ever al- tended,” .McKay said. ‘‘We should be proud. Once again, we are al the forefroni.’”

Nisga’a Tribal Council presi- dent Alvin McKay said the scholarships were first discussed at a B.C. Lions: football game hosted by the Nisga’a last fall in Vancouver.

The . idea was received enthusiastically by BCIT presi- dent John Watson and a series of

meetings followed to work out

the details. “We are: looking” forward to a very productive relationship with

BCIT, *” McKay said.

Of fish and brewis and sweethearts, too

Terrace Little Theatre’s third

production of the season opens:

ihis week at the Terrace Curling Club on Sehioo] St.

Salt Water Moon will run as dinner. theatre April 16-18 and April’ 23-25. The buffet dinner will be served at 7:00 p.m. and the show will start around 8:30 p.m.

Dinner theatre is not new to the theatre society, which ran The Art of War in a dinner theatre setting

_ three years ago,

_ “Tt was very popular then so we decided to-do it again,’’ said society president Gordon Oates. “It’s really a great entertainment package,”’

The ‘set for the play was dis-

mantled. and moved. from the theatre to the curling club earlier this week and the club’s lounge is

now transformed into a quaint

Newfoundland village.

Although the entire play takes place in one seiting It pulls you in io the changing moods of the ac- tion. with excellent lighting changes and its intimate nature.

John and Maria McGowan are the husband and wife team cast in

the roles of Jacob Mercer and Mary Snow, the only two chatac- ters in the story.

Jacob has retumed from Toronto hoping (o win back his

. former sweetheart, Mary...

- But she’s engaged to ‘wealthy Jerome McKenzie, the son of Jacob’s archenemy. Mary is siill hurt and bewildered by Jacob’s abrupt departure a year earlier and she won’t be wooed easily.

Jacob won’t be deterred, how- ever, as he atlempis to rekindle the spark- of their past rela- tionship. -

The play rons the gamut of emotions from tears ta laughter.

Although the story takes place in a 1926 Newfoundland fishing village, the accents are not too Severe.

“John and Maria have done a gtéat job of creating believable accents, but not so strong that you can’t understand them,’’ ‘said director Merty Hallsor.

Tickets to Salt Water Moon are $20 at Carter’s Jewellers, the Bank of Montreal and the Ter- race Curling Club.
