26 Terrace Review —— Wednesday, October 2, 1991

-Pro-lifer Stillwell — speaks in

Terrace —

Contributed by

Pam Whitaker “Pro-life, pro-chastity and proud

of it” is a slogan more and more

young people are picking up

across Canada, according to

Heather Stillwell of Cloverdale.

Stillwell, past national president of Alliance for Life, addressed about 60 people in.a meeting room at the Pentecostal Church Sept. 21. She arrived in the northwest Sept. 20, speaking to a group in - Smithers the previous evening. Stillwell is the mother of eight.

Those familiar with Alliance for Life and the industrious nature of her position were awed to learn that she brought into the world two of her children during the three and one half years she held a position on the executive. Alliance for Life is the education- al wing of the Canadian Pro-life organization.

At the meeting in Terrace, Still- well gave an overview and update on the Pro-life movement in Canada. Giving an example of the ‘involvement of young people in

. the issue, she stated that debates

are being held at McGill Univer- sity in which the alumni are tak- ing part.

_ “Tn general,” she said, “although ,

we don’t have any law protecting the unborn at the present time in

Canada, people are becoming bet- ter informed of the issues.” Such

as: “there’s no such thing as a~

safe medical abortion, the reality of post-abortion trauma, or the myth that it is mainly very young girls and rape victims who have them.” (Statistics for Mills Memorial Hospital in Terrace show that of 81 abortions, only six were for girls 14 to 16 years of age; the majority involved women over 19.)

There was a discussion on the -

ramifications for the future regarding the possible use of fetal ‘parts and the link between the “abortion mentality” to euthana- sia. Euthanasia, when taken to its extreme, could become the dis- posal of those in society who are not “useful” -— like the very old and handicapped.

Stillwell, a member of the school board in Surrey, suggested that parents take a long, hard look at the ethics that are beginning to be taught in our school system.

She said that those concerned

with these life issues can best help in theit own back yard. “Are you sensitive to the person down the street who may feel that she is in a desperate situation? Do your kids know why you go to those meetings?” she asked. "How about your brother-in-law, is he informed?” _ She concluded her address by saying that she believed most doctors do not particularly like to do abortions. “We need to change the emotional climate so that doc- tors will-have the courage to say no,” she said. “Then perhaps we will avoid tragedies such as occurfed in Terrace recently.”

he Premier and several of his cabinet ministers drew about 450

people to a Town Hall meeting one year ago this week. Major issues were concerns about the future of the forest industry, land claims, health, education and the Shames Mountain road. Front and centre of the forest industry concems, and in fact the Town Hall meeting, were the government’s inability to help Weedene River Timber from falling into bankruptcy earlier that year and the awarding of the

’ Sustut-Takla timber licence to Pririce George interests.

Also this week in 1990 Skeena River professional fishing guides were lamenting the loss of tourists duc to poor steelhead returns. The local guides said Japanese fishermen had spent a considerable amount of money in the area in past years but the tourists would probably prefer

. to fish in other areas of the world than to get "skunked" on the Skeena

again.

Northern Native Broadcasting received a $100,000 grant from the B.C. General Communications Grant Program. The grant was to allow NNB to expand satellite radio distribution to rural native communities by assisting with engineering and capital costs.

Organizers of the B.C, Northern Winter Games telethon were delighted when it raised over $16,0000 this week last year.

Also one year ago this week, Terrace Review sports reporter Len Harrington and Terrace Chito-Ryu Karate Club instructor and organizer Roland Lagace were among eight British Columbians to receive an award of recognition from the B.C. Youth Advisory Council. The awards were for special contributions in the service of young people.

Aviation Safety Board into the Skylink Airlines crash that had occurred the previous week were just concluding. The investi- gations included comprehensive ground and air surveys and interviewing about 35 witnesses. While investigations were being carried out

T wo years ago this week on-site investigations by the Canadian

‘Transport Canada suspended Skylink’s operating certificate. It was

expected to be six months before a final report would be issued by the Canadian Aviation Safety Board.

This week in 1989 the results of a-survey by Nortwest Aims for Health were released. The survey was part of a project launched by the Skeena Health Unit and involved the public’s perceptions of threats to physical well-being in the region. The abusive comsumption of alcohol was way out ahead in first place, with drug abuse, mental health

This week in 1988 the Skeena Union Board of Health announced a project that would have Skeena Junior Secondary theatre arts students take part in the production of two plays. The creation of the project came about through a Ministry of Health report on drug and alcohol abuse among teenagers.

The two plays, Juice and Squeeze, were to be produced by the theatre arts students under the guidance of teacher Brian Koven.
