me young. At the tender age
of 17 1 was working as a copy

and bustle of the cluttered

Above all, I wanted to write.
That began ‘early. When I was

However, after apprenticing
for one year with The.

world to make my fame and

newspaper. Iwas
writing...eventually as a

strive for, But there was
something about a weekly that

~ [ missed: - And there was the’

British Columbia ‘that I

missed. So, I got myself a wile’
and here 1 ‘am, living and.

loving ‘it in Terrace.

As a weekly (or to be
precise, a. twice-weekly)
newspaper like The. Herald,
you forget about making.a
fortune ‘and such, fringes, as
overtime, and - the 40-hour
week.. If I .get..through a 60
hour week I'm lucky. And it’s
a six-day week at that; and,
sometimes, even seven days.

’-Tt's a little ego, too. And
don’t tell me you havent’ got
that.

But when the day the paper —
comes out rolls around, you
know you’ve done your job to
the best of your ability, And if
you happen to beat the other
media’ a few . exclusive
stories, “ts all the more.
satisfaction of a job well done,

- But it's more than that. The

time ‘reporter, ‘one: part-time

reporter and “a part-time
photographer we manage to
get two newspapers crammed
with local news to you each
week. That means digging
and probing and attending
meetings to gather up the
news. Not all of itis nice. But
isn't that life?

so we can bring the paper: to --

you (and, provide the oil ‘to

economy). There's the gal

It’s tenmwork that makes The

mirror that community with

growing knowledge of Terrace
