On Monday, Aug. 5 at I p.m. the Skeena River at Ferry Island. will be the site of the Wild Duck Race sponsored by the Terrace Rotary Club. _

The yellow plastic ducks will be loaded into a tarp, then drop- ped by helicopter into the Skeena River near Old Bridge Properties. The ducks will then, float downriver along the west side of Ferry Island. The first

line, near Graham Street, will be declared the winners.

The three winners will each receive prizes of $1,000. The re- maining ducks will be netted and taken out of the river at the end of the race, before they enter the mainstream of the river.

Original plans were to hold the Wild Duck Race at Williams Creek, near the Lakelse Lake picnic site. These plans were changed due to numerous log

| Wild ducks to go with the flow |

with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

Spectators are asked to note the change in location, and also asked not to use the Dudley Lit- tle bridge over the Skeena River to watch the race. Ferry Island and the eastern side of Graham Street are recommended by the Rotary Club as the ideal viewing sites...

Only 5,000 tickets are being

‘sold at $5 each. They are

take on customs duties

TERRACE — The city still needs the approval of Canada Customs, but council approved a recommen- dation Monday night that the city’s bylaw enforcement officer take on "on call" customs duties at the Terrace-Kitimat airport.

The city would pay all costs, but council hopes it would not be on a long-term basis. The move would determine the need for a Canada Customs officer at the airport, and therefore give the city the ammuni- tion they need to doa little lobby- ing in Ottawa for full federal cus- toms service.

Getting tagged for release in Ted Gamer's back yard recently

are the 5,000 "wild ducks” for the Terrace Rotary Club's feature event in Riverboat Days. Proceeds will go to the R.E.M. Lee

Foundation CT scanner fund.

Dr. Hook, featuring Ray Sawyer, played to a full house at the Terrace Arena Friday night. The doors opened at 8:30 and an hour later the dance floor was crowded.

First up was Willy and the Poorboys with their credible renditions of Creedence Clearwater Revival tunes. This band was a lot of fun and roused the crowd by opening with their namesake song, Pieces like Have You Ever Seen the Rain, Put a Spell on You and Proud Mary rang with surprising similarity to the original CCR recordings.

There was delay in the arrival of Dr. Hook, bringing the crowd to its feet in waves, chanting for the band. At last the show got under way, and the distinctively eye-patched lead singer, Ray Sawyer, opened the set with I Got Stoned and I Missed It. Sawyer is still a true showman, despite appearing older and (more) weather-beaten.

The current band has been together for four years, playing the circuit with oldies like Cover of the Rolling Stone and Walk Right In. They also did some more recent work with a song called Missing You, due to be released soon on a yet-to-be-named solo album. a

Sawyer said in an interview that the band took its named from _ him. He was dubbed "The Hook" because of the cye patch he wears

on his right eye. He got it in a car accident in 1967 that left him

partially paralysed for a year. Sawyer stills offers a showy stage presence that seemed to delight the Terrace audience.

Around town: In its final week at the Northern Motor Inn, Easy Money is playing George’s Pub. To follow them is Long Gone, engaged for a three-week stay. At Gigi’s in the Terrace Inn, the Shameless Hussies are playing. And that’s it for this week.
