CASTLEGAR NEWS, July 3, 1983 The All-Star Game returns to its roots * cutcaco (AP) — Sif ate as a one-time event to it a World's Fair, major league baseball’s All-Star Game has survived a half-century to become one of the sport's proudest attractions. The game that became a tradition celebrates its 50th birthday Wednesday night, returning to its roots at Comiskey Park, where the firat one was played in 1983, When the idea of an All-Star game, gathering the best players in the National and American Leagues together for a mid-season contest, was first presented by Arch Ward, sports editor of the Chicago Tribune, baseball's reaction was not enthusiastic. National League owners were in no rush to go up against a stacked American League squad that would include all-time greats like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Al Simmons. Some AL owners also opposed the concept, concerned with the break in the schedule that such a game There was also the belief that selection as an AllStar might capo biayerp Xo. eet An infated ides bon helt vale, But Ward presses on, supported ‘by other baseball figures such as commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who saw it as an opportunity to promote the sport.

Now, 60 years later, Comiskey Park will host the golden anniversary game at a birthday bash with some of the played in that first game exactly 60 years to the day earlier. ‘They will be part of a record gathering of 42 Hall of Famers, a galaxie of All-Stars brought together to salute their game, 3 Scheduled to join the 1983 stars arc some of the most cherished names of baseball's past.

Sally’s the There's Vice-principal, “Happy,” on the other hand had no such aspirations. “If anybody had told me then that I was going to be a teacher I would have said they were crazy!” ‘Herbert Wallace Crandell, nicknamed “Happy,” and Sally came to Castlegar a couple of years ago with one Ppurpoee in mind: to set up a private Christian school. No small task, as they were soon to find out. I visited the two of them, in the lower level of the Apostolic Church, which serves as the school. They were doing all those end-of-the-year things, like taking down posters, and finishing up the record keeping and paperwork. Lasked them what this year had taught them. Sally, beaming (she was always “A lot of reply was, “It no peer ure for more elaborate things, no poking fun at the child who can’t afford more elaborate dress.” After » Sally went to UBC where she studied education and art under Robert Wood, famous for his idyllic scenes. After she received her BA in Education she immediately got a job teaching in the public’ school system in Victoria. Teaching, she says, has been her “lifelong vocation.” She has taught all her life, except for three years when she travelled around Spain and Portugal as a tour guide. She took groups of tourists from Holland, England, and Canada and the United States all around Spain, Morroco and Portugal showing them the sights. “That was delightful.” When the government tolerance! This is a different situation that we came from. It’s a smaller town with less facilities. It teaches you a great deal of tolerance and you acquire an understanding of people.” And Happy added, “it teaches you patience.” Sally was born in New Westminster and had all her schooling in private schools in Victoria, first Saint Margarets and then Craigdarroch College. So no one had to do any convincing to her that private schools were an important alternative to the public school system. When we got to the subject of school uniforms her comment was, “There's no question in my mind that uniforms are the way to gol” The Castlegar Christian Academy dall ig from the tour guide service, Sally came back to Canada and teaching. A Scot by family origin, Sally grew up playing the "pipes and from an early age competed all over the Northwest in Highland Dance. Does she still play the pipes? “Oh no, I don’t have my pipes with me, but I still love them.” “Happy” acquired his nickname when he was a child, and it’s stuck to this day, a positive descriptior. of his nature. He was born in Vancouver, and has lived in a number of places; Ocean Falls, Coquitlam, the Okanagan. He received his teaching certificate from Portland College in Oregon and then he travelled to Tempe, _,.school should work together.” Together, Happy and Sally have studied Christian school ind have including one i Abbotsford where they told me they were subject to “22 lectures a day!” The Castlegar Christian Academy isn't their first endeavor, They began the Emmanuel Christian Academy in New Westminster where they worked for three years just prior to coming here. They-use the “Alpha-Omega” curriculum, which are two Greek words meaning “the beginning and the end.” The curriculum contains five basic academic subjects; math, language arts, science, socials and the Bible. Besides these subjects, they also offer French, P.E., Art and music and next year possibly courses in domestic science, computer science and oil painting. At the C: Christian Acad the learn'at their own speed. “We don't have grades here,” says Sally, “we have levels.” And every single one of the 28 children are on which to the Crandells is a good idea. A child may be a Grade 5 math student but a Grade 7 in reading skills. Because each student works individually, tutors — and lots of them — are a must. Currently they have two volunteer teacher's aides, and are looking for more. Happy has this to say: “You go to one desk, and it’s two times three and you go just over to the next room and it’s X equals something. It’s a real change and you have to adapt quickly.” Sally and Happy and the full staff of volunteers work hard to not only provide a good academic program, but to provide as well. “The first thing we had was a Christian concert and play,” says Sally. “It was a play I wrote called ‘The Light of the World.’ We had bake sales, fun fairs, car washes all to raise funds to take the students on a three-day trip to Fort Steele, and the Wildlife Sanctuary in Creston and the fish hatchery.” They held a Sports Day against the Christian School.in Nakusp and came home with the trophy. They even produced a yearbook which they showed me with pride. But with all the fun goes the work as well. The students take turns doing the chores. The floor must be swept, the books put away. “We're like a family school,” she continued. Parent involvement is high. The school doesn’t administer punishment, they told me. The parents do. “If the parents to discuss it. And we urge them to handle the discipline. And if orporal punishment is deemed necessary the parents yadminister it. We like to keep the lines of communicatién: open with the parents.” What do the parents like about the private school? Why is there a waiting list? And why do the parents not only send their kids, but give their own time to work in the library, the office? “The main thing that the: parents appreciate isthe freedom from the humanism and thé humanistic leanings in the schools today,” says Sally. “They want them (their children) to have a Christian background.” Some people, she told me, have the mistaken idea that theirs is some kind of “reform school” for those children who can't make it in the public school classroom. They both assured me that this is not what they are about. “Until the student wants to be reformed, there's nothing we can do for him. We're not a reform school.” Both of them are firm believers that “the Parents and ‘he Crandells have seven children and 14 grand- children and have always been active, not only in school work, but church work as well. Two of their sons are teachers in the public school system in the Lower Mainland. Because the school keeps them busy 12 and sometimes 14 hours a day, and on top of that, Happy works weekends at Celgar, they have little time for favorite hobbies. Sally enjoys ceramics, “but all the greenware is sitting down in the basement now,” says Happy. Sally describes her husband as “an expert gardener.” But even with all this overtime work without pay, they don't complain. “It’s our ministry,” they say. Their present facilities are small and cramped, but Sally and Happy are looking ahead. “It’s a dream,” says Sally, “but we'd like a nice piece of property where we could build.” They feel that 150 students is not unreason- able number. “And we'd like more teachers.” And they're definitely doing something right. Happy explains, “We have had students who have been off since last Thursday drop in for a few hours to help clean up. So they're coming to school even when they don’t have to!” CASTLEGAR NEWS, July 3, 1983 83 Kokanee Creek open for summer By DAPHNE VANALSTINE The summer in tation programs at the Visitor Centre in Kokanee Creek Park (19 km east of Nelson) began June 24.

Leave the baby animals alone By CAROL HOAR Creston Valley Wildlife Int iterpretation Centre While enjoying a pleasant walk in the warm spring air, or a leisurely drive in the country, many of us at one time or another may have come upon one of nature's babies. These little creatures — whether it be a spotted fawn, a fluffy owlet or soft, furry bear cubs — are very cute and endearing. Because the animal is alone and exposed, we might assume it has been abandoned for some reason — perhaps the mother was struck by a car or killed by an out-of-season hunter. Feeling sorry for the poor, hapless creature unable to defend itself from predators, we gently pick it up and take it home to care for it. Right? Wrong! Almost ost assuredly the mother is nearby but because of her of people has from view or, as in the case of the fawn, is likely off finding food and water. In order to produce enough milk for her fawn a whitetail doe must eat five to seven kg. of grass and leaves each day, so most of her time is spent away from her baby. She returns only five or six times a day to nurse and lick the fawn. Fawns are well camouflaged and have no body scent and simply lying still, unnoticed, is their best defence. Only if the animal is lying on or very near the road, where it is likely to be hit by car or truck (travelling at a not so leisurely a pace) is it advisable to gently pick the animal up and move'it to the’side of the road. If you know the mother ‘has in fact been killed, call the local conservation officer and give him directions to the fawn's location and he will remove it. If it is a nestling bird you have encountered look around the immediate area for its nest, and if you spot the little one’s home gently place him in it — don’t worry about leaving your scent on the bird. Scent is important to mammals in recognizing and feeding their young but not to birds — the parents will continue to feed it. Ifa nest cannot be found it is best just to leave the bird where it is and leave the area as the parent is very likely waiting for you to depart so it can continue feeding it. Only if the bird is noticeably hurt, wounded or very weak from starvation should you pick it up and have it professionally cared for. Again, you should contact the local conservation officer as it is illegal to have moat wild animals or birds in your possession. Wild animal mothers are very dedicated to their young and can do a far superior job in caring and raising their - families than we can. Young birds and animals often do not thrive well when separated from their parent. So, if you see a lone baby in the wild in nearby all cases the very best thing to do is to leave it alone.
