CORRESPONDENCEFOR THE TERRACESTANDARD The Mail Bag II I Myths are all right Dear Sir: In reference to the letter writer who wondered why Centennial Christian School would pull Harry Potter from its library shelves yet stage The Hobbit as a school production, there's a slight difference between the two. It has to do with the world views of the authors. J.R. Tolkien, who wrote The Hobbit, used the saga of myth to deal with the absolutes of good and evil. It might surprise people to learn Tolkien led C.S. Lewis to Christ. Both of Lewis' books on Narnia and Tolkien's works on Middle Earth were influenced by each author from a Christian perspective. In Narnia, Asian the Lion symbolizes Jesus. In Tolkien's work Gandolf resurrects as did Christ, after saving the Fellowship in the dark tunnels of Moria. Aragom, who becomes King of Middle Earth at the end of the Lord of the Rings, is named after a great Christian king of Europe. Saruman, the evil wizard, is in the spirit of Antichrist; and Sauron is the satanic overlord of the rings. J.K. Rowlings' Harry Potter does not have the absolutes of Tolkien except that friendship, not sorcery, is what save us. Harry Potter is about the importance of friendship, NANCY AND GORDON Lee lost their daughter Laura, 17, to a terrible car crash in June, 1999.

Dental care is an ongoing process during one's life. To be successful regular dental examination and preventative care are essential. The use of fluoride toothpastes, floss and excellent hygiene are invaluable controlling this problem. Fluoridation of public water supplies ensures an ongoing exposure to supplement these preventative measures. It not uncommon to see individuals who have had good teeth because they have had good care experience dramatic increases in dental decay if this level is care is reduced.

What about the elderly who loose their dental plans and do not continue regular care programs. The provincial government's refusal to properly fund dental care for low-income families is placing many children and adults at risk for higher decay rates. Currently a majority of poorer families are struggling to find the resources to make up shortfalls in funding for this vital part of their health care. Significant numbers of families in this community, through no fault of their own, have lost their dental coverage as employment Apples benefits expire.

Steve Scott "It is eliminated as opposed to him being released," Poole said. "It will not be filled." "It's nothing he did wrong," Poole added. "He did good service here." Because there are no other management vacancies, Scott has not been offered another job, Poole said. He said it came in part because not enough savings planned by council were achieved over the past year and there's pressure for new savings as part of the 2003 budget. "We need to reduce operating costs by $200,000 or $300,000," Poole said, adding most of that is coming out of services and staffing. Skeena Cellulose's failure to pay its taxes will leave the city nearly $2 million short by the end of this year. It's by far the biggest financial problem, Poole said, admitting Scott would still be on the job had SCI paid its taxes. He said there's also been a hiring freeze imposed on many union positions, which are being left open to save money. "We are probably down six to eight positions right now," he said. No other union layoffs or management terminations are planned, Poole said. less...

"So, if we can teach them at this level to be more efficient we'll have stronger athletes as they get older," Carlyle said. Some athletes from out of town and even some Bluebacks whose homes are out of the city were unable to take part in Sunday's events due to the snowstorm which caused terrible driving conditions throughout the weekend. Some out of town swimmers spent an extra night in Terrace at the end of the meet to allow for a safer road trip home, Carlyle said.
