: WHILE MOST PEOPLE are wondering 4 what to put ia their gardens this year, Lissi i and Peder Sorensen are already tending tiny budding tomatoes. Peder will be at the farmers market by the end of June with plenty of juicy tomatoes, garlic, chives and : cucumbers.

i Like many others at the market, Lissi and Peder came to Canada from Europe. They were both born in Denmark — Peder in Ringkobing’ (Jutland, the west coast) and Lissi.in Copenhagen,

Lissi lefl Denmark with her parents Chris and Elna Odin when she was 10 years old. Their long journey began with a week long voyage, with a stop over in Norway, and andther week by train from Halifax to Prince George.

Later Mr. Odin and a friend (Lindberg Carlsen) decided to look for work in Prince Rupert, however, their car broke down near Terrace. They were towed into town, and while waiting for repairs they had a job of- fer, with the CN to work on the new line going to Kitimat.

So, Lissi and ber mother moved to Ter- race while her father worked out of Kitimat. Later on Mr. and Mrs, Odin worked as bull cooks and kitchen workers at the old Can Cel bunk houses that were situated where the Twin River Estates sland today.

Lindberg Carlsen was the blacksmith in Terrace for many years.

Lissi’s parents found it very hard when they came to Canada. They didn’t speak any English and were very homesick,

Lissi left Terrace to take a hairdressing course in Calgary. That’s where she met Peder, in 1958. Later on she would work dor Hilda ; ‘Neuhoven, at the hairdressers

IF YOU don’t mind sharing a dressing room with a six-foot tal] invisible rabbit, then you might want to audition for the up- coming play Harvey.

Harvey is a light-hearted comedy about a man who lives with an invisible rabbit, and his sister and niece. [t’s based on a movic from the 1940s.

‘His sister is tying to launch the young woman as a debutanle, and they aren’t im- pressed with the man’s insistence that Har- vey the rabbit is real. So they try to have -him put in an insane asylum.

“But Harvey is real,’’ says director Karla ‘Hennig.

‘The play starts in November, and that means Harvey will be spending the summer at Hennig’s house.

He’s a fairly finicky fellow she says, and

while moving from Toronto to Vancouver and then to Calgary.

Peder was an agricultural green house worker in Denmark. In Calgary he worked as att clecirician for $1 an hour.

Affer a holiday in Terrace, in 1962, Peder and Lissi decided to pack up in Calgary and move to Terrace.

They lived on a farm in Old Remo and were among the first to come involved with the farmer's market, which started in 1983. Peder did most of the garden work and Lissi ran their stand at the market.

They were a part of the small core group that got the market going, and Peder even managed the market at one lime, It was through the devotion of these beginning vendors that the market established itself.

The Sorensens now live on Agar Ave. Their town size lot is packed full of fresh garden produce bound for the market. Peder _warks the stand. at the markét,'these days.

"Peder says 4 ‘good ‘salesntat’should ‘pres-

attentive to customers. He feels it’s worth giving a free sample now and then.

he’s refusing to show up for rehearsals, which start in September.

Instead hell save his appearance for opening night.

“He'll open and shut doors... you can hear him walk across the stage. We haven’! worked out yel whether we'll see him carry anything across the slage,’’ says Hennig, She’s still negotiating his contract.

The play also needs five men and five women, aged 20 to 65. All levels of experi- ence are welcome.

So if you don’t have any allergies to rab- bit fur, come down to the McColl Playhouse, 3625 Kalum, at 7 p.m. June 12 or 13. A script is available to read at the Terrace Public Library.
