Dr. Jane Pegg Uoctor hooked

FIVE FEBRUARY days in Ter- race and she was hooked,

Although the Terrace area’s new pediatrician Dr. Jane Pegg and her husband Alan Gilchrist hadn’t planned on settling down in one place quite yet, seeing Ter- race four months ago changed their minds,

“We saw the sun shining on the mountains and said we have to come here,’* said Dr. Pegg. “‘We love the. mountains - we'te out- doors people”. -

The couple moved here June 6 and have been fixing up Dr. Pegg’s new office in the same building as Dr. Osei-Tutu. *

She started seeing patients in her clinic last week,

After graduating with her medi- cal degree from the University of Toronto in 1988, Dr. Pegg spent four years specializing in’ pediatrics at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

Since completing her pediatrics in 1993 she has been doing locums, moving from place to place to cover for different doc- lors.

Her last locum brought her

for two months.

After seeing an advertisement for a pediatrician to replace Dr. Howidi from Mills Memorial Hospital, she and Gilchrist de- cided to check Terrace out.

We've found the people Teally.. frlendly,” she said,,‘'This is the. size of place J like.?? °

As the only pediatrician in the area west of Smithers, she ex- pects to be dealing with a variety of medical problems that doctors in large cities don’t see.

“*T like the small arcas where it is more challenging because you aie the only one,’? she said.

Dr. Pegg will be working as a consuliant to family doctors, caring for patients that are referred to her from other doctors.

She plans to spend two days here and two days in Kitimat, along with running travelling clinics in Prince Rupert and Haz- leton.

She will do daily rounds to check on patients in Mills Memorial Hospital.

Some of her time will also be spent working with children and Staff at Terrace’s child develop- ment centre.

New jobs for local airport

THE TERRACE-KITIMAT air- port will gain three jobs as a result of a decision to cut Eight information services in Sandspit atd Prince Rupert.

All seven Hight service station employees in Sandspit will be sent elsewhere and two will be transferred out of Prince Rupert by cutting the midnight shift, says Transport Canada spokesman Rod Nelson.

Those new positions in Terrace will be needed lo pass on weathér information to pilols from auto- mated systems being Installed in Sandspit and Prince Rupert, he sald.

“IVll be a positive effect on Terrace by adding two positions and by filling one existing vacan- cy,’ Nelson continued,

“They'll be talking to pllois coming into Sandspit and Prince Rupert,’* he said.

The automated sysiems will provide Information on forecasts, winds, precipitation, cloud cover, lemperature and the like.

One benefit is that pilots land- ing in Sandspit and overnight at Prince Rupert will now be able io dial in a radio frequency giving them direct information. from the automated systems, said Nelson.
