A2 CASTLEGAR NEWS, July 13, 1980 =Puleit & Pew by Ministers In the ‘West Kootenay 25,000 registrants in attendance | mtg AA chserves 45th anniversary The 45th Anniversary of Alcoholics Anonymous was observed during its Interna- tional Convention held in New Orleans July 3-6 when more than 25,000 registrants from Canada, the United States and 92 other countries gathered at the Superdome to celebrate sobriety. Founded in Akron, Ohio in 1985, when a stockbroker named William Wilson and a physician named Robert Smith got together to share their experiences as drunks, A.A. now has 1,000,000 mem- bers and 39,000 groups world-wide. The meeting of Wilson and Smith launched a chain reaction of hope for alcoholics from every walk of life. For the first time, recovery from the disease of alcoholism became possible for men and women who had been con- sidered no more than a “disgrace” to their families and in their communities. “Bill W." and “Dr. Bob” © as they later became known to A.A.'s everywhere, had stumbled upon a miracle. The discovered that they could stay sober by sharing their similar experiences as alcoh- olics. They started working with other victims of this desease at Akron's City Hospital and the first A.A. group was established. In 1939, the book, “Alcoholics Aronymous,” ap- peared. Based on the ex- periences of the first hundred members, this basic text lained A.A.'s “Ann Landers: BY TED BRISTOW Castlegar United Church Quite often when I settle in for a solid morning's work at the office, the phone will start to ring, or someone will drop in, and there goes my morning. Interruptions. what we call them. But I actually look for- ward to interruptions, be- cause I know from exper- ience that those interrup- tions can turn out to be far more important, and far more satisfying, than getting through what had been plan- ned. That’s Someone may call up - asking for a favor to be done, or to check out some little things that was bothering them. To me, that’s always welcome, because there's nothing as great as being able to do something for someone else. Mind you, not all our interruptions are obviously important. Sometimes children are great interrupters, breaking in with their exciting story or their big problem, or the same pesky question they asked five minutes ago. When children do that, we're tempted to call them a nuisance. But, hold on. That inter- ruption is likely an opport- fo: time, we might be wonder- fully pleased. But God didn't make life so that everthing is neatly planned. God means life to be lived as it comes. This means we're to be always ready to seize an opportunity when it turns up. If the Good Samaritan had decided he couldn't fit in a wounded man that day, he would have missed the whole point of loving your neighbor. You don't love your neighbor by appointment. You love them when they need you. If Jesus had kept doc- tors’ hours, instead of being ready with prayer and a touch to heal the sick when- ever they appeared, we would have reason to doubt if He really loved people, or was just using them in some game of His own. If God paid attention to us only at times which were proper for him, many a desperate prayer would go unanswered, and the world would be in much worse shape than it is. No, God is always ready to help us, “Ask, and it will be given you" is how Jesus once put it. And God wants us to always be ready for each other. That's a valuable lesson we can learn from our interruptions. Dear Ann Landers: This is no joke. If you doubt the veracity of my letter please check with the record of proceedings in the Oklahoma House of Representatives. I hope you will headline the column “How Crazy Can We Get?" A bill was introduced in the Oklahoma House of Represen- tatives (HB 1816, 2nd Sess., 36th Legislature, 1978) which requires aman to have the written consent of a woman before they engage in sexual intercourse. The woman would be required to sign a consent form, a copy of which I enclose: CONSENT This certifies that I, the undersigned, a female about to enjoy sexual intercourse with + am above the age of consent, am in my right mind and not under the influence of any drug or narcotic, neither does he have to use force, threats, or promises to influence me. I am in no fear of him whatsoever, do not except or want to marry him, do not know if he is married and do not care. I am not asleep or drunk and am entering into this relationship with him because I love it and want it as much as he does; and if I receive the satisfaction that I expect I am willing to play a return engagement.

Women tell more ‘fibs’ than do men Women tell more lies than men but “Iie” is probably too harsh a word for their kind of dishonesty, says a Chicago psychiatrist, Much of the female fibbing is the everyday dime-a-dozen deception and not bald, bare- faced lies. “It should more appro- priately be called ‘white lying’ said Dr. Irving Harris, a staff member at Illinois State Psy- chiatric Institute. White lying is told for the listener's benefit as when a woman compliments another on her dress when in fact it is bulging at the seams. “Lies are told to bolster sensitive men’s egos," Dr. Harris added. “An aging hus- band may deplore his balding head and feel that it detracts from his looks, but his ‘lying’ - wife may tactfully assure him .that he is looking more like a sexy Telly Savalas every day." White lies often contribute to strengthening a marriage when they seem kinder than the truth, he notes. However, at the risk of being labelled a chauvinist, Dr. Harris also believed that wo- men are more prone to avoid hard truth than men. “Because women have to Bill Wilson died in 1971 and Dr. Bob Smith passed on in 1950, but their A.A. legacy continues to attract new members every day.

I know this ia wrong, but how can I fight it? —HP. DEAR ELP.: Pride is a serious sin — in fact, it is at the root of almost every sin. When Satan tempted Adam and Eve, he appealed to their pride. “You will be like God” (Genesis 3:5), he promised, and they believed his lie and turned against God. The Bible says, ‘For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride-of life, is not of the ,Father, but is of the world” (1 John 2:16): PFide'will harm you*-" * ‘spiritually as a Christinn, because it will keep you from relying on God and trusting Him as much as you should. It will .also separate you from other people and keep you from being used of God in their lives. How do you combat pride? First, realize it exists in you and realize it is offensive to God. The Bible says, “I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech” (Proverbs 8:18). Then bring your pride to God.

[ae Employment and Emptoi et Lloyd Axworthy, Loyd Axwarthy, Minister Ministre West Arm kokanee fishery decline very drastic causing special regulations to be put into effect Kootenay lake supports British Columbia's most productive kokanee fishery. Until the late 1970's, the annual angling harvest com- monly exceeded 100,000 kok- anee. This made the fishery extremely important to resi- dents and non-residents alike from a rcerationsl viewpoint. From a fisheries management viewpoint, the kokanee are extremely unique due to their rapid growth rate and their large size (up to9 Ibs.). Some of the largest Kokanee in the world are found. in west arm of Kootenay lake. These circum- stances combined to make this -fishery an extremely important factor in the reg- ional economy of the west Kootenay. In recent years, how- ever, the west arm kokanee fishery has suffered a drastic decline. Loss of spawning habitat in tributary streams ‘coupled with overharvesting by anglers,: are the main. reasons for this problem. To rehabilitate the fish- ery and build up the kokanee *, population, two special reg- ih ulations have been put. into effect: * (1) Until further notice, dno kokanee may be caught and kept in the west arm of Kootenay lake between kok- anee creek point and a straight line between fishing boundary signs on opposite shores of Balfour point and Proctor lighthouse. This clos- ure will be in effect at least until March of 1981. (2) Effective immediat- ely, all apart fishing in the be “limited to the use of “artificial flies only” attached to the rod and line. An “artificial fly” is defined as “a single hook that is dressed only with fur, feathers, tex- tiles, tinsel or wire or any combination thereof and that does not have a spinning device or an external weight". - “The first restriction is to temporarily eliminate the harvest of ‘kokanee in the west arm. The second rest- riction is to reduce the risk of kokanee being captured on other types of fishing gear (spoons, bait, ete.) thereby sustaining fatal injuries be- fore being released. Fisheries research in- dicates that, as summer Progresses, west arm kok- anee congregate near the iake’s suriace, probably in preparation for migration towards spawning areas. This makes them very vulnerable to small spinners and other types of fishing gear that anglers ordinarily use to catch rainbow trout, whitefish, dolly varden and ling (burbot). The gear res- triction will remain in effect until October 31, 1980. Hopefully, these restric- tions will not discourage anglers from trying their luck for rainbow trout in the west arm using files.
