From Premier Clark
This is the 10th anniversary of
Rick Hansen's Man in Motion
World Tour.
This week I wrote to each pre­
mier across Canada, inviting them
to join with Rick Hansen and I in
establishing neurotrauma funds
across the country.
Recently my government an­
nounced Canada's first such fund, a
unique program that directly links
brain and spinal injuries with their
major cause. WE will raise up to $2
million annually, financed through a
surcharge applied to those motor
vehicle violations that result from
driver behaviour that directly con­
tributes to brain and spinal injuries.
The money will be used for vital re­
search and rehabilitation.
The reality is nearly 5,000 British
Columbians suffer spinal and brain
injuries each year — and half of
these injuries are from motor vehi­
cle accidents. These accidents are
often preventable, the result of irre­
sponsible driving habits. They in­
clude impaired driving, speeding,
driving without care and attention,

not wearing seatbelts and not wear­
ing helmets when on a motorcycle.
The B.C. Neurotrauma Fund will
be financed from motor vehicle
fines which are directly linked to
brain and spinal injuries. At Rick
Hansen's urging, B.C. is the first
province in Canada to adopt a sur­
charge on motor vehicle violations
in order to fund research and pre­
vention programs.
You'll recall Rick's remarkable
effort. He wheeled around the
globe to raise awareness of the po­
tential of people with disabilities
and to raise funds for spinal cord
research and rehabilitation.

Rick Hansen is calling the B.C.
Neurotrauma Fund a model for the
rest of the country. I'm asking all
other provinces now to join with
British Columbia, honour the Man
in Motion, and be a part of a na­
tional strategy that turns adversity
into hope.
Thanks for listening. I'm Glen
Clark.

Doug Ruffell is presented with his Life Time Membership Card by Legion
President Ray Proulx.

Look for Connections,
an all new dating column,
coming soon to
The Tumbler Ridge
Observer.
You've read the personals column in
the past and thought to yourself, “Hey!
This ad doesn’t sound bad. Utilizing
the personals column allows you to
bypass the initial getting-to-knoweach-other stage of a relationship. We
all know that this is what makes the
first date so uncomfortable.
The Tumbler Ridge Observer has a
new approach to dating in the 90’s with
Connections, our voice personals col­
umn. Say goodbye to singles night at
the grocery store and trips to the laun­
dromat when your washer and dryer
are in perfect working order! There is
a much more effective and convenient
way to meet your perfect match without
even leaving the house.

This innovative voice personals soft­
ware makes ad placement simple.
You’re given an automated and com­
pletely confidential interview which
makes it easy for you to tell others
about yourself. This information is
typed into a print ad which stresses all
of your wonderful qualities.
Let’s say you’re a male seeking a sin­
gle non-smoking, non-drinking female
between the ages of thirty and thirtyfive with no children. The computer
searches the system for all of the
women who’ve placed ads with that
criteria. You’re then informed of how
many “matches” you have, and you
take it from there. You can listen to
what these women have to say about
themselves in more detail. You might
find out that one of them is, like you, a
big Woody Allen fan. If you like what
you hear, you call the 900# and leave
her a message. You’re then one step
closer to the relationship of your
dreams.

Face it! It’s hard to find the time to go
out and meet people the old-fashioned
way. You’ve got a busy schedule. You
go to work; you cook; you clean; you
have to walk the dog. Placing a per­
sonal ad takes just a few minutes of
your time. Meeting that special some­
one could change your whole life.

Look for the Connections column every
Sunday in The Tumbler Ridge
Observer. Your days of desperately try­
ing to lock eyes with people at the
video store could be over. Placing an
ad is absolutely FREE. All it takes is a
phone call, and you just might find
someone to curl up and watch a movie
with this weekend.

We Help Injured Birds
If you have any injured birds
please call Mark or Nathan at 2425766 for help.

Canada is an
important partner in
the global effort to
help children in the
developing world
beat the odds against
six deadly, but
preventable, diseases - measles, polio,
tuberculosis, tetanus, whooping cough
and diphtheria.
Through the worldwide initiative,
more than three million young lives
are saved each year. Despite this
encouraging statistic, nearly two
million children a year still die for
lack of immunization. The odds can
be beaten with your help.

Book Review
Beverly Byrne
A Matter of
Time
Sarah Myles, a young woman on
the go, bound and determined to be­
come director of the Gugenheim
Museum. Then, one rainy day on
her way home to visit her parents,
she is involved in a terrible accident
and suddenly life changes. The four
notes she has had running through
her head since childhood, become
much, much louder and more insis­
tent and tremendous headaches sur­
face and now images of long-for­

gotten items appear. Sarah turns to
Father Lasky, who refers her to
noted-parapsychologist Jarib
Baraak. He believes Sarah is being
haunted by a racial memory, but of
what or whom he is not sure. Now
begins the long journey that they
will take to search the past, and find
out what is hidden and why. Be­
cause others to seek the answers
that have been hidden for over 1900
years and some of them will stop at
nothing to find it first.
