TERRACE By MARY-MARGARET SNEED The Recreation Department Fall registration and. late registration has now been completed. We have had the most successful registration in our history this fall. We fee] that it is primarily due to five factors. First we have made efforts to ask the com- munity, through the media, what programs they would Hke to see. We received an excellent response with many good suggestions that reflected the com- munity’s needs and desires. We have followed through by trying to find instructors or leaders for the requested programs. ; Tn some cases we are unable to find the appropriate instructor or we lacked equipment or facilities but for the most part we have been successful in filling the most popular requests. An example is providing more programs during the day for women, with day care. Popular programs like Womens Morning Jog, Adult Skating and Quilting and Enjoying Your Baby’s First Year attest to this fact. Wealao had many requests for more programs for children on Saturdays, par-. ticularly music lessons, We now offer more regular childrens Saturday programs than ever before; ograms like advanced and beginners guitar, Kids in the Kitchen, the Art of Drawing for Children and Girls Soccer (in the spring) have all received an excellent response, We hope to offer more exercise programs for women during the day with day care in the winter session as we have had numerous requests in this area. We have also responded to the requests for women for more evening sports programs with, womens soccer, volleyball, basketball and hockey. The second factor influencing increasing par- ticipation in recreation programs over the past year is the great amount of publicity that we’ve been doing. We feel that we have made great efforts through every media available to make people aware of what recreation programs are available to ehem. We-are now seeing results of our efforts. Publicity is one of the key factors in getting people out to participate. The third factor is that we have brought programs “to” groups in the community that don't normally participate for one reason or another. For example programs for senior citizens are now being held at Skeena Center where many seniors are already located and where they have excellent facilities like a kitchen and arts and crafts room. For those seniors that find it difficult to get out Skeenaview picks them up at their homes, takes them to the program and returns them home free of charge. This co-operative effort between Skeenaview and the recreation department has resulted in several very well attended programs like the Senior Song Book, Flower Crafis and the Senior Chef. We hope to offer even more programs for seniors this winter. We alsorun a Native Wood Carving course out of the Kermode Friendship Center and take registration for the program the first night of the class at Kermode in hopes that more native Indians come out and participate in something that interests them in the friendly comfortable atmosphere of the Kermode Center. . The fourth factor in creased program participation is that we now offer numerous programs during the day and on weekends. There are many people who do not find it convenient to come out for evening . programs, like children, seniors and mothers with tots. INTO ARSONS Recreation news Finally we feel that we have tried to offer “something for everyone” — tots to seniors, day workers and home makers etc, Most of our efforts have been successful In this respect except with programs we've offered for the older teens. Almost every such program has had little response except the Teen Discos which of course are always very popular. This fall the programs that were overwhelmingly popular, filling upinstantly were four seasonal programs: Mushroom Collecting, Paper Batik and Candlemaking for Adults and Children. Three new programs — Quilting, Childrens Drawing and Kids in the Kitchen — also filled up. quickly. Sewing, Stained Glass, Advanced Macrame with Weaving and Beginner and Advanced Guitar and Adult Badminton and Skating — all previous popular programs remained as popular as ever. Sewing, Quilting and Adult Skating were co ‘that we are offering additional sessions for them. People can stil register for those three programs at the arena ice. Tots on Ice and Time for Tots, two old favorites filled up quickiy as well, oo Pre-Ski Conditioning and Ladies Keep Fit — both no charge programs in Thornhill: had overwhelming responses with 30 to 50 people coming out to get in ape. There are still a few programs ‘open for late registration. These include How to Entertain Your Child, Time for Tots and Crochet. Adult Co-ed Fitness has started but still has a few registration spares. This is a really great program led by the very fit, George Sojka. George will lead you through a vigorous exercise session each Tuesday and Thursday evening. George is a physical education major from U.B.C. He is very well qualified, extremely. enthusiastic and quite an inspiration himself. There is no excuse for sitting at home and com- plaining about your shape when you have a program like this to go to. You can register at the arena office for a $15 fee. The program runs to December, it is held in the E.T, Kenny Gym. . Another program that we'd like to see people par- ticipate in is the Senior Chef. This is a free program — open to all seniors in the community where they learn how to make, plus actually make easy and economical, meals from foreign lands. Sitting down and eating the creatlons over tea offers a nice social aspect to the program. The program is held in the Skeena Center kitchen, Skeenaview will provide free transportation to and from the program every Mon- day morning. This program is geared to all senior citizens in the community! Simply call Skeenaview at Womens Hockey is open and looking for participants each Saturday evening at 7 p.m. at the ice arena. ‘Womens Soccer has also started at the Caledonia Gym on Wednesday evenings at 8 p.m, There are many other free fitness and sports programs starting this week like co-ed volleyball, women’s volleyball and basketball, men’s soccer, rugby and archery. Call the arena office at 636-1174 or check your program booklet for times and places. 7 ’ Also don’t forget to use our new 24-hour recorded information line, 635-9212, for public ice times and fees, pool information and special event information like registrations, etc. Doukhobors call for an inquiry GRAND FORKS, &.C. were arrested during the (CP) — Orthodox Doukhobor leader John J: ‘Verigin has renewed his demand that Attorney-General Garde Gardom authorize a com- mittee to Investigate burn- ings in the West Kootenay. “7 accuse the attormey- general’s department of false arrest,"’ Verigin said in a terse written statement issued following a meeting Thursday night of the executive of the Union of Spiritual Communities of hrist, He also said the attorney- general has falled to respond “to the urgent nest of people's representatives to a meeting for the purpose of developing a commorrsense solution to bring an end to the buralngs and bombings and unjust stigma of the Doukhobor name.” A spokeaman sald that the union also wants the at- torney-general's office to investigate the cancellation of moat of the insurance on the union's cultural centre at Brilllant, just outside Castlegar, B.C.

Verigin's charge of false arrest echoes atatements he made when arrested late last year and charged with four counts of conspiracy to commit arson, He repented the claim after he was acquitted on three of the charges following a week-long county ry trial in Sep- was stayed during the trial by the Crown. Evidence against Verigin came from several Freedomits, whose sect yes in burning and to reject materialism and achieve salvation, They insisted they acted under Verlgin's orders, a clalm hotly denied by the 58-. year-old honorary chalrman of the unlon, commonly known as Orthedox Doukhobors. _Verigin has repeatedly called for the attorney- general to authorize a committee to investipate who is orchestrating the increasing incidents of arson in the area.

Following Verigin’s an Orthodox spokesman said that Gar- dom’s ministry had in- dicated it would soon establish the committee, however, the spokesman said Thursday that the ministry now seems to be ignoring the situation. He said that the union "got nothing but the runaround” in a recent telephone call to the. ministry asking about the status of thelr request.

The teachers are seeking a pay hike and will ‘request more teachera be hired for the elementary schools. “What we're seeking is to try to provide some sort of preparation time for teachers in the Terrace Shopp! elementary grades,” explained Ken Norton, the chairman of the TDTA agreements committee. The teachers will ask for additional staff hirings to free part of the day for class preparation.
