Page 8B vod. The Castlegar Sun Wednesday, June 6, 1995 Understanding individual dif ferences and accepting them can be the key to a “good” life Good as opposed to unhappy, crazy, or dysfunctional. Some personality styles described by Gary Smally and John Trent who work with help- ing families to. understand the different personality traits, and more ly to understand how to blend the differences. Meet the wonderful Golden Retriever. This person is made Understandin Nobody is perfect. How about Mrs. Beaver? This person actually reads the “how to do it” instructions? DAY BY fore d relati Pp they are deeply loyal and have great listening skills. The Gold- en Retriever needs security and order in his life and he lives in the present. Sounds wonderful, he is but he tends to carry too many people on his shoulders. And one day he may realize that he too needs to be heard Awesome. (you can tell lam not a beaver). I being a lion would not have time to read the directions, “just do it as quickly as possible” is my creed Mrs Beaver likes stability, and secu- rity and is not comfortable with risk. You might have known personalities her as the perfectionist in my mother's day column, Her greatest weakness can be unre- alistic expectations of others. Mrs. Beaver gets the job done but she rarely knows how to have fun. Speaking of fun, meet Mr. Otter. He is “a party waiting to happen”. He definitely likes to be the centre of attention and risks are his forte. Beware of this person because he can motivate you to do almost any- thing. He is a people-person. He is more than happy to leave the work and detail up to Mrs. Beaver. Mr. Otter tends to leap before he looks, or makes deci- sions without all the facts. Sad to say there can be too much optimism!! Last in the personality styles is the Lion or Lioness! I am partial to lions since I ain defi- nitely this style. Lions want to do it now, don’t bother us with details or problems. We like a challenge and variety and we like to be the boss. Lion's make strong leaders and can get the job done. With all these won- derful characteristics we can be insensitive, pushy and fail to really listen to others. Lion's do not relax! Trust me, it's true! As we said in the beginning, we are what we are. I have a favorite word that is needed in all areas of life. Balance. We can all take on some of the won- derful traits of each style and work on softening the ones that can be abusive or harsh. It is the extremes, of all these styles that make us “unpopular” people. Well, how are you doing in identifying yourself? “ST AY IN CIRCULATION Submitted by: Rankin McGougan of New Life Assembly In his Book “Come Before Winter and Share My Hope” Chuck Swindoll relates an interesting account out of England in the 1600's under the reign of Oliver Cromwell. The following is an excerpt from that book. During the-reign of Oliver Cromwell, the British government began to run low on silver for coins. Lord Cromwell sent his men on an investigation of the local cathedral to see if they could find any precious metal there After investigating, they reported: “The only silver we could find is the statues of the saints « standing in the corners.” To which the radical soldier and statesman of England replied; “Good we'll melt down the saints and put them into circulation!” If you can over look the destruction of religious artifacts held dear to the people of that congregation you have to come to the conclusion that the statement is not bad theology especially for a proper, strqit-laced Lord Protector of the Isles! In just a few words Cromwell’s command states the-essence...the kernel...the practical goal of authentic Christianity. No rows of silver saints, highly polished, frequently dusted, crammed into the corner of elegant cathedrals. Not plaster people cloaked in thin layers of untarnished silver and topped with a metallic halo, But real persons. Melted saints circulating through the mainstream of humanity. Bringing worth and value down where life transpires in the raw without the faint aura of stained glass, the electric modulation of the organ and the familiar comforts of padded pews and dimmed lights. Out where bottom-line theology is top-shelf priority. You know the places: - on campuses where students scrape through the varnish of shallow answers - in the shop where unbelieving employees test the mettle of everyday Christianity - at home with a houseful of kids, where “R&R’ means Run and Rassel - in the concrete battlegrounds of sales competition seasonal conventions and sexual temptations where hard-core assaults are made on internal character - on the hospital bed, where reality never takes a nap - in the office, where diligence and honesty are forever on the scaffold - on the team, where patience and self-control are X-rayed under pressure. It’s easy to kid ourselves. So easy. The Christian must guard against self-deception We can begin to consider ourselves martyrs because we are in church twice on Sunday - really sacrificing by investing a few hours on the “day of rest”. Listen my friend, being among the saints is no sacrifice.,.it’s a brief choice privilege! The cost factor occurs on Monday or Tuesday...and during the rest of the week. That's when we're “melted down.and put into circulation.” That's when they go for the jugulat “Awe that’s where our real value is discovered! Lighting The Way e se) ST.

As a result, council will begin formal petitions to the Chief Her- ald, who is responsible for arms, under powers granted by the Governor General. The petition package will include background information about Castlegar’s history and terms of incorpora- tion. The city must pay an upfront fee of $500 and can expect to pay up to $3,000 for the finished product. “Coming up with a good cor- porate image is tougher than council first thought,” said igner to of more than $1,000. Although the designer came up with several concepts, council was unable to establish a firm terms of reference for the designer. “Council wasn't clear about what it wanted in the logo, mak- ing the entire situation complex for the designer. The logo idea hasn't been completely aban- doned, but we're going to let it sit for awhile,” continued Hunter. Coat of arms reflects the histo- ry of the community, and as a result, are designed to last for centuries, as opposed to a corpo- rate logo which becomes dated.
