The flame Pappas refers to was
first fit in the Stein Valley last
winter, and will be brought to the
stadium during the peace rally.

Pappas has also recently released
a cassette of her songs, including
one in honour of her friend, Haida

The song is called Guaawa-
Hanas, which means land of the
beautiful island, and is dedicated
to the preservation of the Queen
Charlotte Istands. Reid was born
in Skidegate, on the islands.

Pappas said she was inspired to
write this song after attending a
Haida benefit in 1984, where a

said she heard the song in her mind
and put pen to paper.

“PT wanted to make people more
aware of the land and to save the
trees. Through the song I've been
able to explain that to people,’* she
said.

Another song by Pappas that
has proven popular is called Van-
couver: City of the Century, It was
a runner-up in the Vancouver Song
writing contest, held prior to Expo

porate as many aspects about
Vancouver to make the song a true
rendition for all residents.

She had 1,000 cassettes printed,
and so far has only 300 left.

Many of the cassettes Pappas
has given away as gifts to friends
and visiting tourists at Expo. She’s
performed there about a half
dozen times since the fair opened,
including Aug. 4 for B.C, Day.
