Well-known harpist Carrol Mclaughlin, who plays both classical and jazz music Harpist coming here The playing of harp music has an association with an. gels and grandiose occasions where cherubs flutter about and birds fly with ribbons in their beaks, celebrating some immortal event or another. Carrol McLaughlin has changed all that. Although she has played every orches tral cadenza ever written, she prefers the repertoire for the harp as a solo instrument and in her concertizing throughout Canada, South America, the U.S. and in Great Britain, she offers a program ranging from the classics to cleverly arranged jazz transcriptions. In addition to touring she teaches harp at two univer sities and plays background music for TV shows, such as “The Love Boat” and movies such as “Star Wars.” Music — all shapes and forms is her passion, and THE DANCE OF SHIVA Castlegar that is why she gently in tersperses her programs with delightful jazz arrange. ments such as “12th St. Rag,” “Classical Gas” and “Cantina Band” (from Star Wars) along with the great harp classics of Albeniz and Han. del Her concertizing has seen her performing both in London and New York's Car negie Recital Hall where critics referred to “her skill Book a cult murder th By BARBARA GUNN Canadian Press In The Dance of Shiva, writer William Deverell brings together all the ele ments of spellbinding in More Thon @ Cole SKIERS’ BREAKFAST $299 FIDDLIN' RED and PATTI O' FARRELL Playing every 1] Thursday ond | Soturdey evenings | | OPEN 7 DAYS | A Weel region on Sunday trigue contained in his earlier books, including murder lots of it The latest thriller by the British Columbia writer his other published works are Needles, High Crimes and Mecca tosses readers smack into the middle of a cult-related mass killing on a remote island northwest of Vancouver.

Pulpit & Pew By CLIFF DRIEBERG Seventh-day Adventist Ninteen-hundred _ eighty- five is but a few weeks old, and today many sincere people who made New Year resolutions, realize they have already broken one or more of them. Does this inelude you? . I'm sure you wanted to do what is right, but alas, your promises and resolutions turned out like ropes of sand. Why? Is life supposed to be a kind of treadmill, on which we are forever trying, and never getting anywhere? Notice an incident that took place during the life and ministry of Jesus, that sug- gests the cause and solution to this problem. It must have been a busy day — the day He fed the 5,000 with five loaves and two fishes. Night came and 20 tired men are rowing their boat on the Sea of Galilee toward Capernaum. Suddenly out of the dark- ness, a furious storm bursts upon the lake. The disciples, some of them experienced sailors, strained at the oars trying to reach the shore, but in vain. Ex-employees to receive upgrading Ex-employees of Westar's Nelson sawmill operation are the group targeted to receive basic literacy upgrading at Selkirk College during a 20-week program of Adult Basie Education and English as a Second Language that begins Monday at the col lege’s Rosemont Campus. While not exclusively for ex-employees of Westar, they constitute a fairly sig nificant core group that could utilize academic upgrading in order to make them more competitive on the job mar ket, according to Jack Rod. dis, head of Nelson's Canada Employment and Immigra Joy Keillor Bridge Thirteen pairs competed at the Jan. 7 meeting of the Joy Keillor Bridge Club at the Nordic Hall. The average score was 60, with the following winners: Bev and Jim Swain with 76, Geroge Reshaur and Stan Jenkinson with 70, tied for third with 65 were Grace Donaldson and Agnes Charl ton, and Joy Ramsden and Judy Sheppard, and in fourth were Rita Perrier and Bill Gorkoff. tion Centre (CEIC). “While all good workers, many of the ex-Westar em ployees would have problems competing on the job market due to their laek of com munications and basic aca demic skills,” said Roddis. The employment centre has purchased 16 seats in the class, which was identified by the manpower adjustment Towards___morning they give themselves up for lost, and then a flash of lightning stabs the darkness, revealing someone walking on the water. For a moment terror grips the disciples, but wait — the figure is Jesus, and their fears subside. As Jesus draws near, Peter, always the boldest of the group calls out: “Lord, if it is You, bid me come to You on the water.” (Mat.14:28) Jesus bids him come, and Peter steps out the boat and actually walks on the water. Then he begins to sink. Why? The reason is that Peter forgot who was giving him the ability to walk on water. He took his eyes off Jesus. Could self-confidence and perhaps pride of achievement have caused Peter to look away from the source of his success? Could it be that when we stumble in life, a “link” has snapped in our dependence and reliance upon God? You see, God not only wants to whieh we thought was total, was really less than that? Were we endeavoring to succeed in our strength, ra- ther than in a dependant re- lationship with Christ? Re- member it was He who said: “Without Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5) Don't give up. This time do it with Him. Confess your wrong, renew and deepen your commitment, ask for power to overcome, and fol low Him as He leads you to success. God will do His part. Let's you and I do ours.
