@ Castlegar must begin
to help its less fortunate

I noticed that the more I
know from God’s handbook
on life —the Bible — the
harder it becomes to live in
my safe little world, ignoring
the needs of people around
me.
“Oh no!” you say, “I can see
what’s coming. Another ap-
peal for money!”

No, not at all, I simply
want to talk about one oppor-
tunity to reach out in com-
passion to our community.

It may be hard for some to
come to terms with the facts,
but as you read this there are
fellow human being in Castle-
gar who are hungry and are
without the means to satisfy
that hunger.

We are not just talking
about irresponsible people
who are foolish in their choic-
es — we speak of families,

single parents with children,
young people, senior citizens
and many others who don’t fit
into a defined group.

We are not called to judge,
we are called to help.

In yy work as a pastor in
Castlegar, I meet many peo-
ple in need and the majority
are even reluctant to mention
their lack. They desire to im-
prove their situation but it

can be very hard to even
think straight when the cup-
boards are bare and the stom-
ach empty.

We must help.

Concerned people met on
June 10 at Community Ser-
vices to begin the work of es-
tablishing a food bank.

As this becomes a reality
much will be required, loca-
tion, volunteers, overseers, fi-
nances and of course food.

It will take your involve-
ment, everyone to see this
work.

Galatians 6:9 says: ‘Let us
not be weary in well doing for
in due season we shall reap if
we faint not.’

We cannot afford to take
the attitude “Oh somebody
else will do it.” Somebody else
is not doing it.

Will you consider what you
could do? And then watch the
newspaper for further infor-
mation.

@ West Kootenay group doing it best
to promote the joy of reading

Project Literacy West Kootenay held its
second Annual General Meeting in the Castle-
gar Library on Monday night.

Over 20 people involved in literacy inthe
area — tutors, learners, board members and
co-ordinators — attended to listen to progress
reports from the area co-ordinator, Sue Port,
and chairperson, Wendy Tagami and to hear
guest speaker, Patti Bossort talk about fund-
ing.

Last year, PLWK held five 16 hour tutor
training courses, training a total of 54 tutors,
in Nelson, Trail, Nakusp and Castlegar.
Forty-three learners were matched with tu-
tors; Castlegar had 13 new matches.

PLWK’s literacy resource collection con-
sisting of 660 volumes of 288 titles was dis-
tributed among 11 West Kootenay libraries
and a bibliography of the holdings plus source
information was printed. This is available to
libraries and other literacy groups.

_ Sue Port praised the WK libraries, espe-
cially the Castlegar Library, for their co-op-
eration and contribution to the success of

Wendy Tagami commented that over the
two years of its operation PLWK has trained
80 tutors and matched over 60 pairs of tutors
and ‘learners. During that time, it has oper-
ated with the financial support of a govern-
ment cost-shared grant and support in kind
from Selkirk College. As there will be no more
grant support, the society will be looking for
corporate and community sponsorship to car-
ry on its valuable work.

Patti Bossort, one-time president of the
Adult Basic Education Association of B.C. and
now a private consultant, told the meeting of
other-successful literacy projects operating
without grant money but with college support.

Following the presentations of literacy pins
tothe tutors present and a West Kootenay Li-
brary Association gift to Sue Port, the evening
rounded off with a reception provided by
PLWK board members and staff. fi

Julie Spurrell for her years of dedicated service.

meeting Monday. Here Sue Port (left) receives thanks and a potted plant from Trail librarian
