When Kim took on the job of Student Activity Co- ordinator in the fall of. 1988, culture was one of her priorities. . _ And she’s still fulfilling that goal. for students and community, The upcoming dinner theater collaboration between the ‘Northwest Community College Students’ Association and Ter- race Little Theatre, presenting The Art of War, is nota first for Kim, Last spring, NWCC Stu- dents’ Association sponsored the Axis Mime Theatre from Vancouver to perform at a din- ner theater in the NWCC cafeteria. The response was so overwhelming that Kim has de- cided to present dinner theater every fall and spring. Student staff, volunteering for that first evening, were pleased and proud to be a part - of it — ushering guests in, . waiting on tables and serving drinks. There is no shortage of volunteers for the upcoming per- formance of The Art of War. Kim gets. “warm fuzzies just thinking about it”. Much organization and co- ordination with a host of people is required to present a dinner theater evening, as Kim can at- test. She first had to find the talent to provide the evening’s entertainment. Kim is looking forward to the Terrace Little Theatre’s debut at dinner theater on Nov, 17 and 18.

It can sometimes be hard find- ing a home for unwanted pup- pies, but leaving them as gifts in unlocked cars is not the answer to the problem. Terrace animal control officer Frank Bowsher:says at least one puppy, a spaniel cross, was left in an unattended vehicle ; on Agar St. on arrecent Saturday morning. The owner of the car didn’t want it and phoned the police. Bowsher was then called in and the homeless spaniel was placed in the Terrace. Animal Shelter. This well-intentioned act of animal placement was only one of several similar incidents that have occurred recently and Bowsher says the owners, if caught, can be charged under the criminal code for mistreating or abandoning animals. He says four blonde terriers were “dumped” at the door of the animal shelter early Monday morning. A more serious inci- dent occurred recently when a terrior/poodle cross was thrown from a moving vehicle. near the North Kalum Trailer Court. The abandonment of animals used to be a problem in this- area, says Bowsher, and he hopes it’s not. one that’s about to start again. - the Canadian Diabetes Association provides health and nutrition information pamphlets on a number of issues? m = Formore information, contact your local Branch m of the Canadian Diabetes Association or the National Office, 78 Bond Streel, Yoronto, Ontario M59 2J8. du diabéte at the meeting. — You are invited _ toa public information meeting on plans for __atransmission line from ~ Kitimat Substation “~~ to Skeena Substation. (near Terrace). At present, B.C.Hydro has a transmission line running between the two substations. However a possible new 287 kV _ line is necessary to transmit additional electricity purchased from Alcan into the B.C.Hydro system. This new line can also serve asa back-up in case the existing line is out of service. Two routes are being considered. One is on the east side of the existing line along Highway 25. The second, along the west side of the Kitimat-Terrace valley, would require the establishment of a new transmission line corridor. . Environmental and land use consultants have been studying both the environmental and cultural resources in the valley, and initial results of these studies will be shared Meetings in both Terrace and Kitimat will begin at 7:00 p.m. Information displays outlining possible routes and describing the line will be set up for you to view. At 7:30 p.m., Hydro will make a presentation on the project and studies to date, Then the meeting will be opened for questions and discussion. Plan to attend. We would like to hear your ideas about the proposed line.
