skeena Valley Fall Fair

THORNHILL — The days are getting shorter and there’s a feeling of fall in the air.

by Janny Wassink and Thora Armold-Smith Terrace Contributors

And so it is time again for the Fall Fair; the an- nual exhibition for and by the whole family, 2 neighborly occasion for people to show what they have been growing and

making, and are proud

to show it. To quote Dr. A.F.

Morris, Ontario Assn. of

Fairs and Exhibition: ‘‘It should be instilled into the minds of the ex- hibitors that the Fair is not a place where they go to make money, -but a place where they can compare the quality of their products to the benefit of themselves and their neighbors, and raise the standard of products of our country, and that by the fact of

their proper preparation -

for an exhibit, they themselves are the greatest beneficiaries, and that premiums are only to assist in defray- ing ¢xpenses.”’

Individuals enter com- petition for various reasons: for self-satisfac- tion in showing their work to others and to have their work rated against others; for educational benefits derived from judges’ comments and viewing the work of others; for community support by participating in local ac- tivities. A competitor should enter the event with an open | mind, and realize that it is a judge’ 5 opinion and the quality of other competing en- tries which decides how well an entry is rated. We can’t always win, but great satisfaction can be derived from entering the competition to show others their work.

It is now time to get

your entries organized; if

. hoon to 4

you are a first-time ex- hibitor and have ques- tions, please feel free

-to phone 635-4082 or 635-2607, or any of the |

convenors listed with every division in the prize list. So go and take

stock ‘of your garden;

check out your prize- winning vegetables and flowers and think about the flower arrangements you want to enter.

If you have been sew- ing, knitting, crocheting or canning and making jams and jellies, pick out the best ones and enter them in the Fair. Entries will be taken at the Co- op main store concourse on Aug. 22, 23 and Mon- day, Aug. 25 from 12 p.m. Entries

can also be mailed to Box 495, Terrace, B.C., V8G 4B5; they must be postmarked on or before Aug. 25, Entry forms are enclosed in the prize list; they are still available at the Co-op Garden Cen- tre, the Terrace Library and at Thornhill Grocery. Check out the divisions and.classes and you will find there are ‘many possibilities for you to enter your crafts, flowers and produce. There are many classes for children to enter as well.

The long awaited poultry barn will be ready for the Fair, so your chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits will have a shelter this year. We hope you’ ll help fill this barn with your feathered and furried friends. And don’t forget to take in the showmanship activities in the big barn, where goats, sheep and cattle are shown by their owners. There is a horse- show and gymkhana during the weekend as well, and when everyone is -hungry, there are refreshments available in the hall, prepared by the Terrace Figure Skating Club.

Forest fire update

Four new fires were reported and actioned in the Kalum Forest Dis- trict last week, bringing the total number of fires this fire season to 59.

Fire danger levels throughout most of the district have risen to high and the Forest Service re- quests the travelling public to use extreme caution during any recreational pursuits as

‘the woods have become

tinder dry.

Additional precau- tionary measures in- stituted by the Ministry

this past week include a campfire ban, early shift woods operations and cancellation of all burn- ing permits.

The Forest Service in co-operation with in- dustry plans to have ad- ditional standby forces, ground patrols and air patrols for the upcoming weekend as the weather forecasts indicate contin- uing warm and dry weather. Should drying trends continue, possible complete industrial closures will be con- sidered early next week.

The annual Skeena Valley Fall Fair awards trophies and

prizes for a variety of home prepared goods.

Northwest College offers futuristic building program

TERRACE —Northwest Community College will be offering an Energy Efficient Home Building Program this Fall.

This new state of the art ‘building technology implements energy effi- cient R-2000 concepts said Dick Kilborn, direc- tor of Business and Health Programs. An R-2000 house will be constructed with a home owner supplying the lot and all the materials.

R-2000 is a house con-

struction program which.

is sponsored jointly be- tween Canadian Home Builders Association and Energy, Mines and Resources Canada. The nameé R-2000 means that by the year 2000, with the rising costs of energy, this home will be the only energy efficient home.

All R-2000 homes are registered and monitor- ing of the houses is done

-after occupancy to check

such things as heating costs and ventilation. R-2000 homes feature heavier insulation and continuous ventilation to

each room through a heat exchanger. Tighter construction allows for a quieter home, less dust, more even heat and lower heating costs, because there is not the stratification that occurs in standard leaky houses, Kilborn said.

Energy, Mines and Re- sources have developed a computer program called HOT-2000 which pro- jects the heating costs of the house before con- struction and helps to analyze cost effective in- sulation levels. This in- formation is used during the monitoring period after the house is con- structed to compare ac- tual heating costs with projected costs.

After construction of this home there will be an open house to show the public the latest in housing technology.

Northwest Communi- ty College is now accept- ing student applications for this program, start- ing Sept. 2, 1986. For further information, contact Dick Coxford at the Terrace campus, 635-6511.
