She told them about the frien- diy ghost which lives in her old farmhouse, unseen by herself, alas, but verified by others. One of her sons once held a flute con- versation with an interested bird. She used the incident in her book The Root, Cellar and the Author tells what inspires ‘ illustrator, never having seen her son or a photo, drew his exact likeness! She personally knew Amos, the sheep reluctant to give up his wool in Amos’s Sweater and now wears some of that wool in a shawl. She recalled her own childhood “sin” of painting green stripes on her father’s prized all-white ducks and has tried to atone for that with the white ducks in Duck Cakes for Sale. These personal stories made her books seem even more interesting and the students left the library fegling they’d met a ‘‘real live author.”” Children's author Janet Lunn entertains students from Twin Rivers elementary school at the Castlegar Library. “St Anytime I$. 5+ 2816 Columbia Ave. * 365-5304 We're Celebrating 4 Mexican Sunfiesta ‘90 FREE PRIZES & GIVEAWAYS Beef Dip:...*2.50 fowin........$1000 ENTERTAINMENT: DON “JOSE” HOLLIS P ing afternoon and evening 8 p.m.- 12 midnight MEAT DRAW Saturday, June 2 2:30 p.m.-7 p.m. LEGION BRANCH 170 MISS CASTLEGAR ‘90 QUEEN'S PAGEANT 248 Columbie Ave. Castlegar * 365-7017 Friday, June 1 7 p.m. S.H.S.S.

Things like success, wealth, fame and practicality take on new meaning. The radically committed believers upset the status quo. Instead of suc- cess, they want sacrificial service. In- stead of wealth, they want to give it away. Instead of fame, they want to help in some remote-cortitr pf the world. Instead of being practi y want to be heroic. And in the process they discover the fulfilment that God planned for their lives. After presenting the need for godly example followed by a call to radical commitment, Paul underlines the necessity of developing and using our God-given gifts and abilities. The scripture is full of examples of poeple much like you and me who of- ten feel incapable and ill-equipped for the challenges of life only to have discovered the key that in ‘‘our nothing’’ God loves to Student continued from page B3 She was sponsored for her trip to Canada by the Rotary Club of Umblanga and the Tangaats-Hullets sugar company to which many of the members belong. The company, owned jointly by Indians and whites, is well known for its active sponsorship of students of all races. She was also strongly supported by her classmates. For those wishing to make a comparison, Cristabel’s school schedule and ours is most revealing: Up at 5 a.m., one hour study at 6 a.m., classes starting at 7:45 and going to 2:15 with 12 half-hour lessons and three short breaks, an hour’s study at 4:30 p.m. and another at 6:45. Bed by 9 p.m. Presumably the studen- ts, or some like Cristabel who lives only 40 kilometres from the school, go home for the weekend. In the exchange application form the student is asked, ‘‘What do you expect to contribute to this Program and to your host families and the country which you will be visiting and what do you expect to gain from participating in the program?"" Cristabel writes: ‘‘The program enables young South Africans (and others) to establish positive relations with other countries, therefore I feel that it is very important I, as a young South African, can be “*His everything.’” Look at Jonathan in I Sam. Ch 14. If you'll take time to read it you will discover that his plan would fail in any leadership training course. His backup forces consisted of one friend. His military strategy would never make the top 10 list of ‘‘How to win a battle.” His weaponry amounted to the sum total of one sword. He wasn’t even moving as a result of specific Divine direction. He acted on a desire to use whatever he had and do i able to young people from another country about South Africa and her people. I am looking for- ward to enabling my host families to experience “South Africa’ through me and, as far as possible, I would like to be one of them — participating fully in the reality of their daily living. 1 have always felt that I shall never. be fully educated until I have really ‘walked in somebody else’s shoes.’ I hope that this program will provide ample opportunity for me to do that.”” Speaking for the Rotarians and the city of Castlegar, I have no doubt that the program will do just that. Another question in the application form states: “*List in order of their importance the four major for God combined with a hope that perhaps God would help. The end result was that 3,000 chariots, 6,000 charioteers and innumerable battle- rady Philistine soldiers were put to flight. We live in incredible times and we will often be faced with circumstances like that of Jonathan. We can focus only on the negative and become dejected, discouraged and depressed. We can focis only on the positive and become utopic, unproductive and unrealisitc. Or we can face the struggles, the turmoil and the disasters along with the challenges, the opportunities, and the victories. 5:30 p.m. Sunday Brunch 10:30 am. - 1:00 p.m Reservations 825-4466 NORTHWEST COACH AND RAIL Sept. 16-27, 1990 Toke a ride into the post!

Don't miss your days in the Sun s 1399 issues your country today. State your feeling on any one of these."” She lists he concerns in order as: 1. South Africa’s image. 2. Economic situation. 3. Education. 4. Brain drain. “It is very important for South Africa to have a good image so that friendly relations can be main- tained. Many countries tend to turn their backs on us and so we need to do all we can to make friends. Friends support each other and are always there for each other. They feel comfortable and secure in each other’s company. How wonderful if these feelings could exist between South Africa and other countries: No sanctions, more foreign investments, more jobs and termination of the brain drain.”’ On the international scene, she sees the four major issues as: nuclear warfare, world peace, ozone depletion and AIDS. She writes: ‘‘It is very vital for nations to maintain peace with one another for the welfare of the whole world. Hostility between nations has become very common these days and although the United Nations is doing much to try and preserve in- ternational peace, there is a lot of terrorism going on. People do not seem to realize that violence can never bring about peace but can lead only to more violence.”” And what kind of a person is our Cristabel? She describes herself as friendly, tactful and a lit- tle too trusting and sometimes too impulsive. She dislikes, she says, any unkind treatment to animals, racial segregation and travelling on trains. “*I care a lot about the welfare of other people,”” she says, ‘‘and I am a very good listener.’” Since she is deeply concerned about the welfare of people and of her country she is obviously a patriot and an idealist (in rather short supply these days) and her wish to go to university to become a' psychiatrist in order to help is doubtless well considered and we wish her every success. She will get every encouragement here in Castlegar. And what, I asked her at the end of our brief chat, was your biggest thrill when you came here? And here she scored another first: ‘‘Why,”’ she said, as if it were obvious, ‘building my first snowman.”” Any group or organization which would like to meet Cristabel and have her talk to them about herself or her country is asked to call Ron Ross, the Rotary student exchange program chairman, for details. Any exchange student, Iocal or from another country, would be happy for an invitation to do the same. And speaking of invitations, she or any other ex- change student, has—an invitation to visit the monastery, Westminster Abbey, here in Mission. Please call me for details. COMMUNITY NEWS Support growing Support for the events Castlegar’s Mexican Sunfiesta June 1, 2 and 3 is growing quickly, SUNFEST 90 for this year’s event said. So far 30 Sunfest patrons who have donated cash, goods or services in ex- cess of $250 and another 63 businesses in Castlegar are supporting different events and activities, selling Sunfest buttons, or buying ads in the Sunfest program and the newspaper tabs. “This is the largest support for Sunfest we have ever had and it seems to increase every day,’’ said Sunfest chairman Ross Hawse.‘‘We are so the clock on the da: leading up to Sunfest just to make sure everything goes off without a hitch. “*We hope that people enjoy all the events and activities on the weekend of June 1, 2 and 3,” he added. ‘We have lots of free activities for the whole family, some great sports ‘ac- tion and some great live onstage en- tertainment at Kinnaird Park, When People buy their Sunfest lottery but- ton we hope they will read the program th and make plans proud of the the hi ts and the people of Castlegar and Area I and J. Everyone is digging in and working hard to support Sunfest and make it a success. “For instance, Williamson Bitumen Paving just donated paving at the Robson ramp to smooth it out so the drag boats can get down without hitting the bottom of the 's behind the scenes support that really shows off the great community spirit here in Castlegar.’’ All the people who work on Sunfest are volunteers and many have spent hundreds of hours organizing an event. . “Our volunteers have had very supportive and understanding em- ployers. These employers have allowed them the time to help organize the events and without their suport, we couldn’t have a Sunfest,’’ Hawse said. There are more than 450 volunteers actively working to finish up all the ‘ m ‘ to attend as many events as possible.’” The Castlegar Festivals Society, is anticipating numerous visitors in Castlegar for Sunfest weekend, Canada Customs will provide Sunfest with the numbers of cars and people at the Paterson, Waneta and Nelway” Border crossings who are United States residents and coming into the area for Sunfest weekend. “*We will have those numbers right after Sunfest,”” said Marilyn Strong, publicity chairman. ‘‘We have also been in touch with the hotels and motels in Castlegar, and they are star- ting to fill up for the weekend.”” The impact of visitors to Castlegar is always more than people anticipate. Visitors have to buy food, gas and of- ten need a place to stay. Most of them want to do some shopping, whether it is buying a greeting card, souvenier spoon, clothes, or groceries. It all ad- ds up and helps keep the Castlegar economy healthy. At the recent B.C. Recreation and Parks Association details i set up for the events. “There is always a last-minute “scramble for materials and | know some of the volunteer work around each visitor spent an average of $100 per person per day. With almost 380 visitors, that’s a lot of money coming into the com- munity, Strong said. FLOWERY GIFT Beta Sigma Phi ‘ity of Castl Lim Raspberry Lodge residents with gifts of potted plants.

Children waffle brunch Castlegar’s United Church Sunday School children recently hosted a waffle brunch with 100 People attending. It was a joint venture with the Discoverer Boys group helping to cook the waffles. The menu com- prised of American waffles, with Sausages and syrup, or Bavarian waffles, with blueberries or strawberries and whipped cream. The children participated in host many ways by making posters and decorative centrepieces, setting the tables, preparing the food, minding the cash, waiting on tables and cleaning up afterwards. The event raised approximately $300 for a Canadian charity, Operation Eyesight, which works to restore vision for children in underdeveloped countries. This provided a good opportunity for children to work together doing something practical for others. Auxiliary continued from page B3 for a job well done. The spirit of volunteerism and the hospital support team remains ever strong. A regular meeting took place with the president’s report read. Helen Clay, an Auxilian, made a motion that the new desks for the new unit be installed with name plates. The motion was passed. Easter flowers were distributed on April 11. Teena Leitch, as Easter bunny and granddaughter, enter- tained the residents in the extended care unit. Oldtime Fiddlers were also on hand and played for the residents: A good time was had by all. The Auxilians’ most recent project, the spring rummage sale, was again a success. The Auxilians appreciate the many people in the Castlegar area who support the auxiliary. The Castlegar and District Hospital Auxiliary also took part in the display at the West Kootenay Trade Fair. This booth had displays and infor- mation on the new 60-bed hospital ex- tension. As well, it showed how the hospital care will be integrated. BCAHA conference is to be held in Vancouver June 4-6.
