THE BIG SHOE:
Terrace residents
Jan Bruggeman,
Marianne Brug-
geman and Nel
DeJong took in
the recent Hol-—
land Happenings
celebration of all
things Dutch in
Oak Harbour,
Washington.

Dutch days dazzle

UNDREDS and

huncreds of tulips .

were just one colour-

ful part of a pil-
grimage of a group of Terrace
people to a Dutch Festival in Oak
Harbour, Washington.

The walkers klomped down the
street in their wooden shoes.

Everyone was treated to an eve-
ning that began with a fabulous
dinner and ended with a hymn
sing at the Christian Reformed
Church — just as it did 90 years
earlier when Dutch settlers built
their first church there. .

Nel De Jong, Jan Bruggeman,
Len Brugeeman and Marianne
Bruggeman all polished up their
wooden shoes and left Terrace by
car April 21 (Len’s birthday) and
drove to ‘‘Holland Happenings”
at Oak Harbour.

The history of the- Dutch people
of Oak Harbour goes back to
1894 when the first settlers ar-
rived by boat at Juan de Fuca.

Over the next 20 years several
hundred artived, cleared land,
planted crops, built churches and
-schools, homes and businesses, -

. And over the, gat 99 -yeans, ‘the:

. “Here 'n
_There”’
by Yvonne Moen

Dutch of Oak Harbour became as
American as baseball and apple
pie.

Holland Happenings first began
with a bunch of town folk who

would whoop it up on main

street.

Someone decided to turn it into
a festival.

Now every April the com-

- munity is filled with tulips,

wooden shoes, lace caps, ethnic
dancers, and Dutch costumes im-
ported from Amsterdam.

It’s not the . only festival the
town has.

The Irish paint the town greon
every March,

And the Whidbey Ysland Race

__ in July is rated among the top 20

‘yachting regatias in the world: = ;

Already the Terrace group is
lalking of returning for the 1994
Dutch centennial next April.

They all had a wonderful time.

THANK YOU!

The Terrace branch of the $.P.C.A. would like to thank all of the
-| people who supported our Groom-A-Thon held on Saturday May 22.

K-9 Connections donated their time, skill and all of the proceeds to
Our spay and neuter program. Karen and her staff put a fot of energy
and dedication into grooming 21 dogs‘during the.course of the day.
The income generated will go far in our efforts.to eliminate the number
of unwanted litters bom to so many animals in Terrace,

‘We would also like to. thank Skeena Broadcasters for: their
wonderful coverage of our event, and a special thanks to Renita Neys

Thank you to Safeway for their Support by donating the helium

heat.

live a long and healthy life.

‘The Groom-A-Thon showed very clearly the need. to
check your pets nail growth and also the need to brush and
demat your dogs coat. It is very easy not to notice the
length of your pets nails, especially when it is hidden by
long hair. Long nails can lead to pain and cause a dogs toe
to arch backward instead of standing flat on their-pads, as it
Was meant to, Letting your animal become matted leads
very often to hot spots and skin conditions, nat to mention
‘the discomfort of wearing the matted coat in the summer

‘After having a close up view ot mats and long: nails,
which were nat immediately apparent on many of the dogs,
we would like to urge pet owners to make routine checks of
their animals physical condition: Checking ears for sores or
rashes, eyes for puss or cuts and ensuring that your animal
has an abundant supply of fresh water daily, along with
good nutrition, without too many treats, wilt help your pet

The S.P.C.A, would like to remind pet owners not to leave their
animals in cars during the summer months. Even with the windows
open the temperature Inside your car will reach 39° (1 02°F) in the
shade. In 30 minutes it will reach 49°(120°F},

Your dog does nat sweat as you do, it pants to cool Itself through

evaporation. With nothing but overheated air to breath a dog can last -
only a short time before brain damage will occur or the dag could die.
Ifyou find yourself in a public place such as the beach-and animals
are not allowed, please take. the tima_ to bring the animal home,
ensute it has a shady place to get out of sun and has plenty of water.
Your animal will be alive and happy to to sea you when you arrive home.

For more information about
the issues mentioned, or the
S.P.C.A. in Terrace please”
