The showing is at 6:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome. The special guest will be Andy Chelsea, chief of the Alkali reserve. Part I The Honor of All part one is a 56 minute video- taped Educational Docu- drama that re-creates the story of the Alkali Lake Indian Band’s heroic struggle to overcome and conquer its widespread alcoholism. The drama is a true story. All of the in- cidents depicted occur- - red between the years 1940 and 1985. It is told in the words of the peo- ple who lived it, Narrated by Andy Chelsea, Chief of the Alkali Lake Indian Band of British Columbia, The Honor of All begins with those first days when Lake people began receiving liquor for their furs rather than supplies or money. Alcoholism rapidly spread throughout the Band until men, women and children — 100 per- cent of the Alkali Indian Band were affected. All aspects of community life deteriorated and the Lake people developed a_ notorious reputation in the region, the people of ‘Alcohol Lake’’. Not until 1971, when | Phyllis Chelsea took a stand against alcohol, did the situation begin to change. Five days after she quit drinking, Andy, her husband, made the decision to quit. For the first two years, Andy and Phyllis were the only sober members of the Alkali Lake In- continued on page 19 About 40 friends and Invited guests were on hand recently ‘ to take a tour of the newly expanded operations at Skeena Valley Meat fn Thornhill.

The concert was a “great success,’’ he added. Money raised came to $200 which means that the bank ac- count for future plays is in reasonable shape for now, Morton commented | _ that they needed help in getting materials for fix- ing the leaky roof and other repairs. We require volunteers to help main- tain the building by donating some of their time. Morton said that in response to donations this. year they have received $2000. Funds have been used in repairs and in other areas like hydro and heat for their building. Morton said they have also applied to local council for aid. Council has been very sym- pathetic but were upable to help, he added.” Morton said that the theatre group has ap- plied to the lottery fund for a grant but as of yet, there has been no response. He added that The’ the arts council has helped them out as much as possible and the theatre group has really appreciated their effort. . Our membership, - noted Morton, has decreased consider- ably over the past years. The reason: was at- tributed to the amount of people who moved away. We are really in need of finances, said Mor- ton, and we would hate to see the place close up. We take a lot of pride in being the second oldest theatre in the province. We date back to 1952 when it was created and in those years, said Mor- . ton, we've gone through a lot of adversity, and made it. A membership fee is $5, noted Morton, and we would really like to see the young crowd get involved. A_ regular monthly meeting is held, on the third Monday. A special meeting will be held on May 5 to elect the new board of direc- tors. The meeting will be taking place at 4711 Tuck. For more information and donations please contact Ken Morton at 635-7507.
