It shows Grandfather Charters — walrus moustached, substantial and benign — sitting ina heavy, carved wooden chair, the very picture of a turn-of-the-century head of the family. Standing demurely at his left is Grandma Charters — long black satin gown, high-boned lace collar and rolled hair-do, a meek- expression on her face and a hand resting respectfuly on his shoulder. Their two sons, my father and uncle, both senior university men, are wearing proper dark suits, high celluloid collars and the non-commital expressions of men of the world. That one picture is a key to an entire gallery of impressions, recollections and scenes of an earlier time.

Box 1200, Castlegar, B.C. VIN 3J1 lege ses-7a02 opportunity. I grew up in a time of “make-do” and “waste-not” even though in our case it was not an absolute essential since my father had a good job, but we were a big family (eight children) and it was a part of the culture. We had a large basement complete with a coal-bin, and an ancient hydra of a furnace. We also had a very large attic with two dormer windows that looked out onto the old Vancouver harbor, the coast sunsets and the Second Narrows Bridge. My grandparents lived on a little farm in Coquitlam on the banks of the Alouette River and I was a fairly regular visitor. When Grandfather died quietly one day at his dinner table, visits to the little farm and the spawning salmon runs ceased and Grandmother came to stay at our house. Grand: h i was an pack-rat so that our large attic was well stuffed with a variety of multi-colored lamps, big round-lidded steamer trunks full of old-fashioned clothes, bags of cloths, buttons and rags, and two wooden flour barrels filled with the letters and covers of a life-time. In the basement was a beautiful carpenter's tool chest (an apprentice carpenter's project) filled with neatly racked tools — sharp and gleaming with oil — cases of first edition British Columbia hand-prints and books, the first vertical hand-printing press to be used in New Westminster, fonts of type, radio equipment going back to World War I, a telescope and hand-ground telescope lenses and huge stamp catalogues, to name a few. My father was a collector too. Since Grandmother firmly believed that “the Devil finds work for idle hands to do”, hers were forever busy crocheting, knitting socks, and ripping apart old clothes, turning the fabric and making new ones. The cloth scraps and rags reappeared as patchwork quilts. When Grandmother died the barrels of letters became a backyard bonfire. When my father died, my practical brother, Atilla, sent many of those papers to the same fate. The historic vertical printing press he sold for scrap metal. History is so enduring and yet so fragile, and we forget so easily. But sometimes there are alert far-seeing people. For example, shortly before he left for the coast I went with John Charters . . . Reflections & recollections local historian, Harold Webber, to visit the National Exhibition Centre. Here he showed me some of the artifacts that he and some friends had rescued from the drowning of Renata ahd Deer Park. As a consequence these, as well as a considerable number of donated artifacts, papers and films, are securely deposited for the future. Meanwhile, the searching and collecting goes on, and Heritage Week (February 14-21) gives citizens the opportunity to show that they care for the symbols of their own heritage. Castlegar Heritage Advisory Committee secretary Sherrel Riley Koreen has been having a fine time recently contacting Prospective donors and lenders, reminiscing over old ph phs and wishing that she had brought along a tape recorder to collect some of the stories that came with them. Alex Lutz and Ralph Desauniers spent last Saturday preparing a new set of display boards to match the ones they built for the chapel house last year, and Bunny is setting up the displays for the railway station. Some of the black and white photos such as the snapshot of Fomenoff's first store, donated by Nora Popoff Fomonoff, go back to the 1920s. Another later one is a shot of the station platform with a passenger car in the background and it comes with a little story. Apparently, in those simpler days students could board the train and ride to West Robson for a dime. They would then leave the train at the dock and board the S.S. Minto where the cook would give them a meal. It raises the curtain just a little on a lost world and I for one would like to hear more about it and a hundred others like it. Mrs. Eremenko has dipped into her albums and has EREMENKO ... The second Eremenko store, lorms a part of the present Castlegar News building. lent us a number of early black and whites, including several of the second Ermenko store (the first was lost to arson) and the old dance pavilion which stood behind it. I wonder how many remember that? The store now forms 4 part of the present Castlegar News building. A third clear, sharp picture is labeled “Grandpa Sanderson's barge and houseboat” (Capt. Robert iderson?) and shows a handsome, bearded gentleman sitting in front of a once-familiar (to me) houseboat. In any case, we would like to start getting an early handle on our heritage. Therefore, when these pictures go on display they will not only have acknowledgements to donors or lenders, but will be numbered. A book with matching numbered pages will be placed nearby’ and visitors will be invited to identify the time, the event, the Place, the date and the persons involved. A new opportunity to renew old remembrances. For those who were unable to see the station move, Kathy Armstrong took an excellent set of color Photographs and these too will be on display. Citizens are again invited to come, enjoy the entertainment, study the artifacts, analyze the pictures, take a little refreshment and once again get back to their heritage. Displays will be set up in the station on Monday, Feb. 15. Any assistance is welcome. It will open for view on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. The chapel house on Zuckerberg Island will be open on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, February 17, 20 and 21 from 1 to 4 p.m. In closing, a word about photographs: They are not always what they appear. That meek Victorian lady expression on Grandmother's face, for example, hid a whim of iron. One word from her and . . . COMMUNITY NEWS February 7.1988 CastiégarNews ss HERITAGE WEEK... Bob Rivers points to one piece of telegraph equipment that is part of the original communication equipment that was in the old Castlegar station. Rivers has offered to donate and set up the equipment in the station for heritage week which begins Fel CasNewsPhoto by John Chi By JOHN CHARTERS Heritage Week will be observed throughout British Columbia this year from Feb. 14-21. To get things underway here Castlegar Heritage Week chairman Bill Sloan met with members of the Castlegar Heritage Advisory Committee arid made preparations to put the newly-acquired Castlegar railway station and the Zuckerberg Island chapel house on public display for the week. As was done last year, companies, organizations and citizens are being contacted and invited to take part as entertainers, craftspeople, donors or volunteer hosts. Bob Rivers, a retired Celgar industrial relations manager, early ham radio wireless operator and a World War Two RAF pilot, is one such donor. As a consequence of his interest in wireless and in air cadet training, he was given several pieces of original Castlegar station telegraph equipment. Heritage week approaches He has offered to donate and set up the equipment in the station for Heritage Week. Afterwards, they will become a permanent part of the proposed transportation museum in the station. Other artifacts and pictorial material have been received from Bud Godderis, whose family has roots in local railroading, Harold Webber, a local historian and collector, Mr. and Mrs. P. Letkeman (nee Jean Lawson), Teresa Oswalk Klinchuk, Adeline Sutherland, Coralee Riley Fitzgerald, and Nora Fomenoff Popoff — all of whom have close associations with the history of Castlegar. Sherrel Riley Koreen is contacting prospective donors. Lenders and volunteers and anyone wishing to assist is asked to contact her or Bill Sloan. All partici- pants will be recognized in the community historical project. Lottery numbers The winning numbers in Wednesday's Lotto 6-49 draw were 5, 29, 30, 33, 41 and 49. The bonus number was 1.

The first stage is pure selfishness, like the small child who cares only for his own wants. Unhappily, some adults are still incredibly self-centered. They use people, rather than love them. Some first-stagers may even be in prominent positions in a church, but it's all for their own power and prestige. They've not yet learned to care for anyone else but themselves. Stage two is organized re- ligion. The young person learns the teachings and practices of his parents’ re. ligion, and finds them com- fortable. The self-centered adult becomes converted, experiencing for the first time the real point of re- ligious faith, and out of grat- itude for a changed life be- comes enthusiastic over the doctrines and the church that showed him a better way. Second-stagers do not question their faith. They just go along with it out of sincere appreciation of the order and insight and com- fort it brings into their lives. Many who happily attend their chosen church, satisfied and grateful and happily con- vineed they've found the right way, are second- stagers. The third stage is one of questioning. Teenagers quite naturally move into a ques- tioning stage, because it's part of growing. Others are older when they begin to have questions about what they once so easily have accepted in the past. They question the doc- trines of their faith, admit- ting there are other ways of looking at things. They question the prac- tices of their church, recog- nizing and finding them- selves troubled by it many imperfections. Stage three may lead a person into deeper faith, or it may cause them to abandon their faith. Especially if others give the doubter the impression that it’s wrong to question, the stage three person may give up their religion. I am caused to wonder if many who no longer attend church are stuck at stage three, not realizing that their questions are natural and po- tentially helpful, mistakenly thinking that to doubt is the same as to disbelieve. So they call themselves an un- believer and stop practising their religion. Doubting is not disbeliev- ing. Doubt may be the begin- ning of a deepr understand- ing, the fourth stage, where you believe not because you accept simply what you're told, but because you have developed your own faith. The strongest faith is often found in those who have faced their questions and doubts, and come through the turmoil with better, more mature answers to some of MALL BUSINESS . . .

This is a highly- P y Financial Management Production those qudstions, and a quiet trust in a reality higher than our ability to comprehend. At this fourth stage, you may understand some tradi- tional doctrine in a different way than in your simpler stage-two period. At this stage, you may have moved into a gracious acceptance of the obvious weaknesses of your church, as you realize also the necessity of an in- stitution to be a gathering, teaching, worshipping centre for believers. At stage four, you more comfortably accept others who differ from you, and you sense the presence of God in His mystery as well as in helpful but imperfect state- ments about Him. I have found these de- scriptions of four stages a helpful way to'look at my own spiritual history, and that of some others who seem to fit into the pattern. I wonder if you are able to recognize yourself in one, or more, of these four stages of religious development.
