by Betty Barton

Stefan Kolbeins is a very
active Mason and Shriner and
the new catering manager at the
Terrace Inn. Stefan came east to
Terrace on Labour Day weekend
from the coast — Prince Rupert.

There, Stefan had been with
the Crest Motor Hotel off and on
since January 1975. For the past
three years, he served as the
inaitre d’hotel. of the Crest’s
Waterfront Restaurant.

At the Terrace Inn, Stefan
Kolbeins is currently "chief cook
and bottle washer", with the chef
having recently left. Normally,
he explains, his job as catering
manager is to book banquets and
arranging the catering and facil-
ities for banquets.

Stefan has been in the hospital-
ity industry for more than 20
years. He’s learned through
experience and courses and
seminars. Stefan says anyone
who thinks they’re finished with
school when they graduate from
high school is kidding them-
selves. There’s always some-
thing new to learn. He calls
himself "a jack of all trades and
master of some."

Besides being a learner, Stefan

willing to help anybody out.
Last year, he was instrumental in
establishing a reward fund fol-
lowing the Brooksbank building
arson in February 1990. Three
employees of the Crest Hotel
were killed in that fire. "The
whole community supported the
project," says Stefan with grati-
tude.

Stefan Kolbeins is a first gen-
eration Canadian from Iceland.
In the early 1900’s, his father’s
brother migrated from Iceland to
Canada. It is rumoured that his
father had “girlfriend problems"
which caused him to follow his
brother. Stefan doesn’t speak the
language, but he did visit his
father’s homeland and, prompted
by a cousin, almost got to meet
the girlfriend! Stefan himself has
two grown children, one in
Vancouver and the other in
Toronto.

The day this interview was
conducted, Stefan was busy
packing his bags to attend a
Shriners’ Convention in
Vancouver on behalf of the
Prince Rupert Shriners.

Stefan speaks highly of Ter-
race already, "I really like it
here. Terrace is a good place to
live. Gloria is a great lady to
