Commercially dried fruit often contain additives other than sulfur dioxide to protect against spoilage. Therefore, they have a higher moisture content than home dried.

PETER LUTHERAN 713 - 4th St., Castlegar Rev. V. Tech 365-3664 ALL WELCOME! Worship ¢ 9:00 am Down under beneath Australia's Blue Rock Lake At the invitation of our Australian hosts, we were riding through a valley in the Strzlecki Ranges, following Blue Rock Creek. My hus band was riding a small white mare named “Blue Devil” while I was riding a small white mare named “She Devil”. Their names were not suitable, for though the horses were high-spirited, they were nicely trained and responsive The terrain was rough and uneven, with many rabbit holes, so we were picking our way carefully along the track, taking our time to enjoy the cool mists of the morning and the spectacular views. At one point, “Blue” shied and almost threw my husband, but he managed to recover his balance. Later he told me Blue had almost stepped on a coiled Black Snake and, being a smart Aussie horse, he had avoided that! We had to ford a stream, which, unfortunately, was not flowing swiftly. “She Devil” was not happy about entering the water, but she finally agreed it was the only way across. That established, she did a mad dash for the other side, almost unseating me as she exploded up onto the far bank, where she shook herself like a wet cat. An older gen- Ueman, who later told me he was 82, rode up beside me and said “I see you've done a bit of riding!” whiclr is about as close to a compliment one can expect from an old “stockman”, As we rode along he told me some of the history of the area. I was lucky to be making this ride because it would not exist in a short time. The stream was to be damned into a reservoir for irrigation for the surrounding ranches. At the top of the ridge we admired the view while we were treated to stones of local folk lore. Then we unsaddled and hobbled our horses so they could graze while we had lunch. An “ute” (pickup) had delivered what seemed to be a full kitchen; quantities of food, beer and wine. We enjoyed a scrumptious lunch, with stories and much laughter. Then everyone had a quiet rest in the shade out of the searing mid-day sun. As the sun began to slide away down the mountainside, we rounded up our horses, resaddled and set off down a spiralling track which would lead us back close to where we had started. One of the men had been enjoying many sips from a hip flask and had become loudly inebriated. He was an excellent horseman, but was becoming a bit of a pain. He rushed his horse first one way and then another until the poor creature was lathered in sweat and foam. As we rode down to the stream, we came-upon-a-rock tedge-overtooking a deep pool. “That pool 1ooks— = inviting!” declared our drunken friend, whereupon he urged his horse into a grand leap off the ledge down into the pool! The distance was no more than 20 feet, but the water was cold and deep. Both the horse and the rider completely submerged in a tremendous splash! The rider came up sputtering and laughing, and began to swim over to his horse. It was then that we on the ledge above could see that the horse was struggling to keep it's head above water, eyes rolling in terror. In seconds there were people scrambling every- where as they fought to save the horse from drowning. Men dove into the pool and attempted to help, but it was thrashing and lashing out with its legs, though its efforts were fast becoming more feeble. Fortunately, the stockmen had ropes. They quickly rigged a series of lines and tied them back to rocks and limbs for leverage. Responding to urging, the horse gave a mighty heave, the men hauled on the lines, and the horse landed on a sand bar. Once on solid ground, it scrambled up onto the shore, where it stood, sides heaving in great gasps, its poor legs trem. bling spasmodically. Then it shook itself, water spraying everywhere while everyone shouted and waived their Acubras. The men grinned happily as they used their shirts to rub down the exhausted horse, mak ing soothing, calming noises to the shivering animal The crisis over, the wet gear was distributed among the riders while the horse was led out into the sun and trailed along quietly behind one of the riders. No one said one word in admonition to the rider, now silently sober, who humbly accepted a ride doubled behind another rider. The group, much quietened, moved off into the track down toward the home corral. Nevertheless, there was quiet muttering as some discussed the lack of common sense displayed by an experienced horseman who should have known better. Some years later we returned to the area, where a huge dam has created Blue Rock Lake. There was a large park and picnic area, with people v ig, windsurf ing, fishing boating, waterskiing and generally enjoying the lake. We Seasons Elma Maund Wednesday, August 4, 1993 The Castlegar Sun Ann Landers Syndicated Columnist Dear Ann Landers: You recently printed a description of a western ranch style wedding that gave me a big laugh. It reminded me of my favorite wedding write-up, which I've saved for years. My father first ran it in our small town weekly paper when I was a teen-ager. An editor friend ran it again in the Buffalo Lake, Minn., News in the early 1950s. After all these years, I still think it's hilarious. If you agree, please print it, Ann Richfield, Minn.

I said, Yes according to the Word of God there will be both judgment and punishment. “And inasmuch as it appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time for salvation without referencé to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.” (Hebrews 9:27,28). It says there will be a judgment handed down for all men, not an assessment. A judgment carries with it either penalty or reward They began to surmise that it neighbor’s son's hand over a fire for eternity would not be fair of me to hold my My question is this, where is justice for the victim and his family? Over and over, we see reporters crowding around families of victims leaving court after the final verdict. The cruel question,**Are you satisfied that justice has been served by the judge's verdict?” The answer, “No, but it is the most the law allows.” What kind of person am I, if I can ignore my neighbor's son killing my son. Innocent blood cries out for justice As Justice Gray of Supreme Court once said to a man who had appeared before him in one of the lower courts and had escaped conviction by some technicality: “I know that you are guilty and you know it, and I wish you to remember that one day you will stand before a better and wiser Judge, and that there you will be dealt with according to Justice and not according to Calvary Baptist RC | pe eC cade law.” Our ultimate hope for all those who escape justice in this life, is that there will be a day of reckoning when every man, woman and child will be called to give an account of their deeds. Our problem is this—we all stand condemned before the judgment seat of God.
