June 28, 1981 but his spirit will
never give up the fight. That spir-
it brings together thousands of
people from around the globe
every year to elp win more bat-
tles against a faceless and devas-
tating disease. This year's Terry
Fox run happens Sunday,
September 18 and Terry wants
you to be there.

This will be the 14th year for
the Terry Fox Run and it is
bound to be one of the best, The
Run has now become a world-
wide event with over 35 coun-
tries involved.

“This year’s theme takes on a
more universal aspect,” said Pred
Fox, B.C. Provincial Organizer
for the run, “showing that Terry's
dream of one day finding a cure
for cancer has touched millions
of people worldwide. One
Dream, One World, One Run sig-
nifies the global theme that we
can all continue to pursue Terry's
dream together.”

Terry's Marathon of H@pe
took place in 1980 with Tegry’s
simple objective of raising the
awareness of all Canadians of the
critical need to find a cure for
cancer. Terry's fierce determina-

Before he reached his goal he

In order to illustrate the success
of research funded by Terry’s con-

Terry’s Team members are
people that are in remission from

the ultimate goal of the run - an

leukemia was only 17 per cent.
Today it is almost five times bet-
ter at 83 per cent. As for
Hodgkin's disease, one only has
to look at hockey star Mario
Lemieux to see the progress that
has been made. Had Lemieux
been diagnosed just 20 years ago,
he would have had only a 30 per
cent chance of survival. Today,
he has a better thal 90 per cent
chance of survival and has the
capability of weaving future
magic on the ice.

There should be a lot of people
at the Castlegar and District

ity Centre this Sunday at

1:00 p.m. to take part in this
year's run. Each will have their
own reason for being there but
they all will be fighting for some-
thing most of us take for granted -
life. Terry sacrificed his and he
has saved so many more. And all
it took was a step and stride in the
right direction.

PROFILE

The Castlegar Sun WEDNESDAY, September 14, 1994

Nineteenth Century cooking was
no lark. It was done in wretched con-
ditions, without running water,
decent lighting or proper refrigera-
tion. The wood stove and open fire-
place, however romantic to us,
involved endless hours of heavy
labor.

—Lacille Fillin,

Why put up pickles and preserves
at home when you can easily buy
them at every food store, some gift
shops, and even drug stores? Superi-
or flavor is one
reason. And no

reason, the
of

and vegetables,
once considered a
ity to survive
the winter, is still
an annual event,
albeit for reasons other than survival.
Preserving goods is as much a part of
fall tradition as the digging out of
warm, woolen sweaters and socks,
bundling of cut firewood and clean-
ing up the c n’s toys, which,
after a busy summer, seem to scat-
ter the landscape.
With society's attempts to seek out

While
the ingredients might still be the
same, our ways of preparing them
have changed. Kitchens are now

with mi

mer and fall to last through the win-
ter and spring. Not any more. We no
longer need—nor want—to fill hun-
dreds of jars of anything for survival.
If local crops are ready for préserv-
ing but-we are not, we can easily pre-
cook small batches of fruit and
vegetables quickly in our microwave
oven, and freeze them in premea-
sured amounts to be finished at our

years, though
admits the por-
tions she pre-
serves now are
much smaller
than when she
was raising a family. Still, many of
her loaded jars, whether they be yp
led carrots or canned tomatoes, end
up in care packages to her children,
now grown and living on their own.
“People in Castlegar are avid gar-
deners, and most of them keep busy
in the fall doing preserves. Maybe
people are getting back into it
because of the cost of living now.
Families really have to stretch their
budgets, and preserving fruit and
vegetables is a good way to do that.”
If you are just starting out on
the road to preserving and are
perhaps a little unsure of yourself,

cessors, and electric food grinders,

replacing the tedious handwork of
chopping, grating, and slicing.

Until the end of World War Two,

still thought it was a house-

wife's or cook's duty to put up

enough jars of food during the sum-

Popoff suggests that ask around
and find a ‘mom’ or ‘grandma’
who can help out.

“Preserving is easier than most
people think. And there are a lot of
women around here who can provide
some excellent shortcuts.”
