Public invited ae talk on
autism and life plan services —

Autism is a mental disorder
that has recently gotten a lot of
public attention due to the suc-
cess of the acadmey-award win-

‘ning film “Rain Man”, which’.

portrayed ‘the - -yelationship be-
_ tween an autistic adult and his
newly-found younger brother.

In the lead role of Raymond,
Dustin Hoffman piays an autis-
tic savant with an astounding

memory for numbers and the.

ability to make inconceivably
fast calculations. Savants make
up only about 10 percent of the
autistic population, but even the.

non-savant autistics are fasci-
nating people who display re- -

markable behaviors. Their in-

‘nate disregard for language and

lack of instinct for social be-
havior has prompted at least one
well-known scientist to conclude
that ‘‘autistic people are going
to teach us about the founda-

>. tions of language in the hurnan

mind’’, ’

The Pacific : Association ‘for

cacy group, is sponsoring a pub- - ma
-meéting is’ available from

lic meeting at the Inn of the

‘West May 29 at 7:30 p.m., and

anyone interested in learning
‘more about autism is invited to
attend. Natalia’ Bouvier, life
plan services coordinator ' for-
PAAC, will discuss the advan-
tages and drawbacks of remov-.
.ing autistics and other mentally [,
challenged: people from institu- *j;
tions, integration in schools and
communities, behavior manage-
‘ment, minimizing. transition
shock, and the need for service
continuum among government
agencies. &£

Nice place,
"| TERRACE — Was that a re-

gional district director wander-

' fing our city streets in the wee
hours of May 13? Carrying a

blanket and pillow with ‘‘Slum-

_ ber Lodge” in bold print? Yes it
- was. But he didn’t steal the

bedding and: he wasn’t: thrown -
- .when he tried .to get a room,

out of his room.
It was Pete Weeber, embar-

rassed Hazelton.director for the

Regional’ District of Kitimat-

"+ Stikine, who forgot to reserve a

but where do you stay?

hotel room before he came to
town to attend the monthly
‘board meeting. An error he may
never make again. __

It seems the evening meeting

on May .12 ran quite late —.

12:30 or 1 o’clock some. say.
And. following the meeting,

there-wasn’t a thing available in
town. Now a well-meaning staff
member came to his rescue, he
offered him his camper. —

Firefighters await.
_ Vancouver contract

Terrace firefighters will be |

getting a raise, but we'll have to
wait to find out just how much.

According to city administrator, -

Bob Hallsor, the firefighters
have signed’a memorandum of
understanding on an agreement
that will keep them within one
percent of Vancouver firefi ghter
wages. The only problem is,

their. Vancouver counterparts .

haven’t yet reached an agree-
ment with the City of Vancouv-

- er. Hallsor says, however, that

Vancouver City Police have
signed a new agreement for a 7.5
percent wage hike in each year
_of a two-year contract and Van-
couver firefighters are likely to
get the same.
. The current wage range in
Terrace is $2,122 to $3,712.

Apparently, the lights didn’t
