The book launching will be held at the Heritage Inn in Nelson on Oct. 3 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Howe, raconteur and optimist, has been writing since the ‘‘dirty 30s’’ Prairies. “Aside from the hard work of throwing the stooks on to the wagon, there would be a lot of spare time,”’ Howe said in an interview. Then 18, he would sit, pencil in hand, on top of the stooks on the wagon and watch the sun come up and write poetry on a scrap of paper. The ideas for ‘Howe's stories come from more than one source, memory of experiences or pure imagination. “‘A writer has to be a thinker,’’ he says. He feels that antagonism towards “*You can tear them (government officials) apart humorously, at the same time be cynical about everything they do.”’ When not writing, Howe likes to “turn good food into good meals.”’ This love of cooking began when Howe was ‘‘volunteered’’ to the Canadian Army’s food services.

CASTLEGAR SAVINGS CREDIT UNION “Your Community Financial Centre” a SLOCAN PARK Highway 6 226-7212 CASTLEGAR 601-18th St. 365-7232 Diaper service aims to help environment A new West Kootenay business has taken a chapter from the past to help protect the future. Linora Pasqualotto-Johnston has opened Teddy Bear Diaper Service, a Trail-based business that will serve families in the Greater Trail, Castlegar, Nelson and surrounding rural areas from a modern health-care laundry. “‘Disposable diapers are clogging our landfills and consuming our forests,’’ Johnston says in a news release. ‘‘Disposable diaper manufac- turers are touting so-called ‘biodegradable’ diapers as the new alternative but they are really no bet- ter. The biodegradable brands need sunlight to break down but all the garbage in the West Kootenay is lan- dfilled.’’ She says many scientists believe diapers can take up to 500 years to decompose in the darkness of a lan- dfill. The public is calling on politicians to act and families are looking for a way to help out. Cloth diapers are the obvious alternative and have made a strong comeback. “*Simply put, one wash and a cloth diaper is recycled,”’ Johnston says. Diaper services are popping up everywhere in Canada to offer people that convenience of disposable diapers without harming the en- vironment. Teddy Bear Diaper Ser- vice delivers service to the.customer’s door. Once a week, a bag of freshly laundered diapers is dropped off at the home and the bag of dirty diapers is takep away for cleaning. “Customers rent diapers by the week, so the number the child needs is the number paid for. For example, if your child needs 60 diapers a week, then the cost is $14 a week,’’ John- ston said, “and if you sign up for a longer period of time, the cost drops to $12.60 a week.”” Teddy Bear Diaper Service uses multi-layer, pre-folded flannelette diapers. The diapers can be pinned, but most people choose the con- venience of Velcro pants. Teddy Bear offers a cotton/nylompant manufac- tured by Nikky. “They're breathable, to help fight diaper rash, and they’re durable, lasting over 100 washings,”’ Johnston said. A baby will need two or three pairs of pants for each size at a cost of $9 to $11 a pair. = “They are more expensive than rubber or plastic pants, but they last a lot longer — and you can’t beat the comfort for your baby or the con- venience for you,"’ Johnston said. Diaper services are now gover- nment regulated. The Ministry of Health inspects the laundry and requires lab testing to ensure quality standards are met. “I have set up a_ professional health-care laundry to clean diapers and that is all we clean,’’ Johnston said. ‘‘Quality is our number one Priority. “Diaper service may not be for everyone,”’ Johnston adds. ‘‘Washing your own diapers is less expensive — if you have the time and energy. However, if you are looking for a convenient, less costly alternative to disposable diapers, then you can’t beat a diaper service.” Can. per person per night* 2, * Based on Double Occupancy Children © 3 blocks from Metrotown Shop- ping Centre © 140 spacious rooms ¢ Restaurant/lounge © Close to Skytrain ¢ Meeting & banquet facilities ¢ Air conditioned * King & queen beds © Kitchenettes * Heated outdoor pool © 16 stay FREE OF CHARGE in parents’ room Not valid with any other offer.
