The project will provide a full- time co-ordinator in Nelson to improve access to child-care for parents Selkirk College campuses, con- tinuing education offices, Skills Now training programs and sec- ondary school programs. The co-ordinator will be based with the Nelson child-care sup- port program and will work with parents, child-care providers, educators and government to help identify and remove barriers that make it difficult for parents to take part in education and train- ing programs “Access to education and job training for parents, especially single parents and mothers, is vastly improved when their child ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING CASTLEGAR VILLA SOCIETY Wednesday, June 7, 1995 * 7 pm in the lounge of the Rota Villa EVERYONE WELCOME care needs are met,” Women’s Equality Minister Penny Priddy said in a prepared release “Parents in our area place a high priority on quality, afford- able child care,” added Nelson- Creston MLA Corky Evans. “I'm pleased that Selkirk College has taken on this project in partner- ship with the local child care sup- port program operated by the West Kootenay Family and Child Care Society. 1 know these part- ners will work hard to make it a success and a model for future child care initiatives.” The Nelson position is part of a regional project led by Selkirk College and funded by a $105,000 Skills Now grant.

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, strait-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 reatpersons. 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.. occurs on Monday or Tuesday.. .it’s a brief choice privilege! The cost factor 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 jugular. And that's where our real value is discovered! ST.

Submitted The West Kootenay-Central America link is being strengthened again this June as two local residents head south for a three week visit. For Anne Pellerine, Trail Regional Hospital Tech- nologist, this will be a second visit to the beautiful but troubled region. This time last year she and Castlegar resident Bud Godderis attended an inter- national Labour Conference and visited a women's primary health care project in Guatemala. will be a first visit to Central been asked to accompany a Guatemalan now living in Canadian exile and return- to attend year’s Internation- al Labour Confer- ence. Held the Following the conference, Ogley will visit pro- jects supported by the Cominco Steelworkers’ Humanity Pund. This fund, the idea for which was bor during the Ethiopian Famine of several years ago, has been built out of contributions at a penny an hour from members of many Steelworkers’ Locals from across Canada. The monies, generally matched by the Canadian International Development Agency, go to a variety of groups which are struggling to pro- vide basic housing, health.care and other services to: their people in countries such as Guatemala. Pellerine will again visit the health care pro- jects in and El Salvador which are sup- ported in part by her union's soli- darity fund. She will again be tak- ing gifts from the people of the Trail and Castle- gar area to these projects, and will also be carrying an invitation to Santiago Diaz, a co-odinator for the health care project which week leading up to June 21, the Conference com- memorates the of 14G labour leaders on that date in 1980. Fifteen years later, Guatemala, though technically a “democracy” is still, in reality, under the control of a brutal and repressive army, ible for the torture and pp ance of tens of thousands of its own people in the last 20 years. Without an international presence at the confer- ence, it would be almost impossible for the meeting to proceed with any possibility of safety for the Guatemalan participants. And without intemational i for the two Gi whom Pel- lerine and Ogley will be with, it would simply not be feasible for them to return to their homeland with any degree of security. Anne Pellerine makes her second trip to Guatemala, Pellerine’s union while for Gail Ogley, this trip is her first. is involved with, to visit this area in the fall while he’s in B.C. on an educational tour. A local Urgent Action network is being put in place to support the two women while they are in the south. In case of a threat to their safety or that of the Conference participants, the network will respond quickly to inform the Canadian government. Pellerine and Ogley will be making a number of presentations following their return in early July and would be pleased to talk with any group wanting to hear about their experiences. To make a contribution to the health care projects (tax deductible); to be part of the urgent action net- work; or simply to learn more about Anne and Gail's trip please contact Tom McEwan or Bud Godderis in Castlegar.
