Bits ‘n’ Pieces — wy ate toop

February means much more
these days than Valentine’s. It
is in February that we celebrate
our heritage,

“A Heritage of Song and

Danc»’’, an event for the entire’

family, will be held at the Ter-
race Arena banquet room on
Feb. 18 starting at 1 p.m. You
are all invited to the festivities
and there is no charge. Here is
a rundown of what you will
see.

There will be music from the
Terrace Pipes and Drums, next
there will be a performance by
Old Time French Canadian
Fiddlers, the Girl Guides will
be there, and the Vicki Par-
viainen Dancers will do what
they do best. Some of the
pupils from the Northwest
Academy of Performing Arts
will entertain you with their
skills on the piano. Around
2:30 or-so there will be a coffee
break. After the break, the
Native Singers’ and Dancers will
be performing chants and a
dance. Next up will be the
Square Dancers, followed by

Allanna Turcotte dancing ‘‘The

Chantreuse”, Romie Maikapar
will delight you with some Rus-
sian songs.
The Grand Finale will be
“tintkling’’, a Filipino stick
dance. The Filipino’s call it the
Bamboo Dance. The dancers
will be-Erda San Luis and
Camilo Desierto. The stick
handlers will be Carlo Desierto
and Becki Buck. If you have
seen “‘tinikling’’ before, you
know it is a fun dance. If
you’ve never seen it, come on
over, don’t miss it.
All the performers will be in
costume. These Heritage Day
celebrations are presented by
the Terrace Regional Museum
. Society, the Boy Scouts, the

Girl Guides and the Terrace
- Recreation Dept. I’! see you

on your list. Cindy Materi 1s

exhibiting her latest works. The
exhibit is called Let There Be
Light. Cindy was born. in
Hazelton. She has lived in
Smithers, Stewart, Tumbler
Ridge, Kitwanga and in Pine
Point in the Northwest Ter-
ritories. Since 1988, Cindy and
her family have been making
their home in Quick. Apart

It is amazing what first let-
ters Of: first names reveal.
Names that begin with the let-
ter S have the strong points of
public service, ambitions, emo-
tional reactions, com-
petitiveness and non-
conformity.

Names starting with T have
the strong points of
domestic/community burdens,
affectionate nature, fine point
analysis and collecting,

If your name starts with the
letter U, your strong points are
social consciousness, creative
expression, emotional
highs/lows and fashionable
ideas.

Strong points for names that
start with the letter V are
dynamic work energy, practical
resourcefulness, visionary plan-
ning and /Jasting results.

For the W’s, it is persistence,
self-evaluation, love conquers
all and adventure that are your
strong points. For example: if
your name is Wayne, your ma-
jor. talent is the ability to incor-
porate physical agility, material
ideas and multiple interests into
career. Your clever and quick
mind facilitates learning and -
your honest approach invites
supporters for your ambitions,
Your personality ingredients
are loyalty, passion and respon-
sibility in immediate relation-
ships. You want a home, good
lifestyle and artistic beauty.
First impression of you is
authoritative, trustworthy and
successful. You enthusiastically
grasp chances to improve in-
tellectually, physically and
financially.

Not many names start with
X, but for those people named
Xavier, Xaviera or Xena (and
that is probably all of them),
you have the strong points of
attracting affluence, excesses,
poor equilibrium and teaching.

For the Y¥’s it is sudden deci-
sions, intellectual freedom,
non-commercial focus and at-
traction to water; and if your
name starts with; the letter Z,
then aspiration,’ perception,
confidence and physical -
balance are your strong points.

And this is the end of all
your personalities i in a nutshell.

I have a beef, Ido not mind
clearing the snow after the
grader has gone by piling it in
front of my driveway. But we
deserve some consideration
when the grader takes it down
to the pavement and puts a
wall of clumps of ice two and a
half to three feet high in front
of all the driveways on my
block. We were not impressed,
to say the least.”

Enjoy your week, don’t
forget Heritage Day.

Lasi week it seemed like the snowbanks reached to the sky. The activities of city works
crews allowed this youngster to explore an 1 interesting new way to get to Clarence Michiel
Elementary School.
