200 Terrace Review. — Wednesday. November 27, 1991 ) Elisa McLaren Terrace area residents will be offered two new visual arts telecourses in January by the Emily Carr College of Art & De- sign (ECCAD) and the Open Uni- versity. The courses will highlight a five-telecourse season to be pre- sented locally through Knowledge Network broadcasts, enhanced by learning materials delivered to Terrace participants by mail. People in the Terrace area who want to learn about the arts in the comfort of home will find these telecourses particularly interesting and useful. They can be taken for ECCAD or Open Uni- versity credits, or simply for the pleasure of learning. New courses include “Materi- al and Form”, offering participants an opportunity to investigate the materials which make up our physical world, and to explore their application im art and design. In 11 television sessions begin- ning Jan, 14, instructor Tom Hud- son and a group of students will demonstrate how to increase one’s awareness of, and ability to use, wood, metal, plastics, paper, fibres, particles, stone, earth, liquid, and space itself, Computer animations reveal physical charac- teristics and ways of processing each material. “Studies in International | Cinema” is the second new course to be available in January. It offers Terrace participants an opportun- ity to study the specialized critical discipline of film analysis. Twelve films selected from the most inter- esting current work from France, Hungary, and Germany will be presented on the Knowledge Net- work Saturday evenings at 10 p.m. Each broadcast will include an introduction and concluding analysis by ECCAD Dean of Academic Affairs, Maurice Yaco- war. Those taking the course for credit will complete a program of reading and writing assign- ments. Prerequisites apply to Performing arts association appoints Norah Ferguson to provincial board At the recent annual general | meeting of the B.C. Association of Performing Arts Festivals, Terrace resident Norah Ferguson was elected as a director-at-large for a one-year term. Norah is the past president of the Pacific Northwest Music Festival society, who nominated her as a candidate for the board. Norah says, "There were other people running, but I did my homework. I really wanted to be elected." Except for Ginny Lowrie’s term of several years on the board of the B.C. Association of Performing Arts Festivals, says Norah, the Association has been run by a southern B.C.-oriented group of board members. Norah explains that she will serve as liaison between the provincial organization and festival organizations in smaller areas outside the lower main- land, She hopes to make the provincial organization mean more to the outlying areas by making them more aware of how the B.C. Association can support the organization and functions of the local festivals. ‘Nort west Arts And Entertainment Calendar -R.E.M.

The Best from the Stacks Reviews of books from the Terrace Public Library by Harriett Fjaagesund Pearl Harbor Ghosts by Thurston Clarke Adult non-fiction by William Morrow and Company Inc. Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. Without a formal declaration of war, a Japanese task force containing six aircraft carriers sailed to a point 220 miles north of the Hawaiian island of Oahu, where it launched 350 warplanes. During a raid which lasted just slightly less than two hours, 188 Army and Navy aircraft, most still on the ground, were destroyed. Four auxiliary ships, three cruisers, three destroyers, and eight battleships were either sunk or destroyed. Japan lost 29 aircraft and five midget submarines. Then, for seemingly no reason, its fleet, which was the strongest ever assem- bled in the Pacific, withdrew without being sighted, having won what was to be one of the century’s most one-sided victories. Although this battle was neither very bloody nor complicated by the brutal standards of World War Two, it has since become one of the most carefully and obsessively examined battles in military history. The author takes you on a compelling joumey back through time, and tells the heart-breaking story of how an entire generation is now finally coming to grips with this battle and allowing old wounds to heal. This i a good read for the 50th anniversary of Pearl Harbor; it does not give a one-sided “American-only” view as so many other books on the subject do.
