Citizen of the Year

Doris Sweeney Honored

Citizen of the Year for
1978, Doris Sweeney, was
honored Tuesday evening for
her years of service in the
community, particularly with
the Women's Auxillary to the
Castlegar and District Hospital
and the Rangers,

Following is the text of
Kiwanian Mery Rush's speech

West Kootenay. Auxiliary con-
ventions are held annually and
Doris was the voting delegate a
number of times representing
the Castlegar Auxiliary and at
one convention acted as the
convention secretary.

“In order for, any organi-
zation to function there must be
guidelines. Doris was one of the
who was involved

“Doris arrived with her
family 19 years ago and imme-
diately became involved in
community work,

“She has been active in the
Hospital Auxiliary since she
arrived, She has held most of
the executive positions of the
organization and was elected
president twice.

“During the early years
she helped with the organizing
of rummage sales which is one
of the two principle sources of
income. This money is used to
purchase additional equipment
for the hospital not covered by
government funds,

“Another extremely praise-
worthy service which Doris
initiated, and for which she
teceived provincial recognition,
was the local Candy Striper
program of which she was
eonvenor for several years.

“A great deal of her time
was spent with high school
students who were interested

in voluntary hospital work, °

Doris was also the Candy
Striper convenor for British
Columbia and directed all Can-
dy Striper programs. S

“This meant she was also
on the executive of the Pro-
vincial Auxiliary Section. The
Candy Striper crest was de-
signed by Doris and is still used
tony by all Candy Stripers of

“Other auxiliary “activities
include holding the office of
West Kootenay representative
which meant travelling to each
of the seven auxiliaries in the

library Board

with the upgrading of the
bylaws and constitution,

“Doris was the first mem-
ber of the Castlegar Auxiliery
to receive the distinctive Cer-
tificate of Merit Award for her
hours of participation in auxi-
liary work. This award is not
lightly given, A ‘recommenda-
tion must first be submitted to
the provincial auxiliary section
by the local auxiliary and only
after cafeful consideration is
the award presented.

“Doris has been a lifelong
camper and although never a
Girl Guide herself, became
active in the Girl Guide Move-
ment in Custlegar. She started
by obtaining a lifeguard cer-
tificate for swimming, instruc-

tor and lifeguard at several.

Brownie and Guide Camps.
“Since 1967 Doris has been

-a Ranger leader and over the

years has led her local ranger
camping on many canoeing
trips.

“From 1970 to 1974 Doris
held the position of Kootenay
Area Ranger co-ordinator and
is now District Camp Advisor.
In February of 1978, she was
awarded her long service pin,

“Her ability has been re-
cognized at the provincial level
of the Girl Guide Movement
and in March of this year she
‘will attend a Canada-wide lead-
er training program.

“Those who remember the
Kinnaird Little Theatre Group,
Doris was an enthusiastic mem-
ber of this group and many
times it was due to her

their, hard work, and a special
thanks is due to Don Jones and
Clarice McKinnon who have
served the library faithfully for
so many years, Clarice McKin-
non is now being employed by
the library board as part-time
treasurer, as the job became
too large: to be a volunteer
position.

The main task facing the
library this year will be finding

“the necessary funding to fi-
nance the much-needed exten-
sion of the library's premises.
Committees were formed to
deal with fund-raising, building
extension and publicity. A
board representative, Arlene
Ommundsen, will attend the
city's parks and recreation
meetings, as the library is
vitally “interested in any plan-
ning initiated by that depart-
ment.

The librarians reported on
a busy month with the cir-
culation being at an all-time
high of 4,692. The total mem-
bership to date is 2,051 (751

ganize a Hi-C Group at one of
the locel churches and was a

has been in the Air Cadets,
assisting in weekend training
camps and canoe handling.

“Doris is an outstanding

inspiring our’ young people of
today to become good citizens
of tomorrow." +

their gas prices to the metric

99.9 cents a gallon.

Pulpit & Pew

by the Castlegar Ministerial

By H.M. HARVEY
Grace Presbyterian

At one. time, we lived in
what was then, a new sub-
diviston to the north of Toronto.
Perhaps you know the kind of
district — every house a
duplicate of its neighbor.

One morning, our side door
opened. There was the clatter
of winter boots being flung
down the basement steps, fol-
lowed by the thump of heavy
feet on the stairs and the
kitchen door was flung open.

I don't know who was the
most startled — my wife, or our
neighbor and his'son, as the:
confronted each other. The
short and embarrassed ex-
change that followed concluded
with my wife suggesting that
they “come and visit us some-
time!” A‘ friendship between
two families started from the
unusual and unexpected intro-

-duction, °

Local Arts Councils |
Among 72 Recipients.

Castlegar and — District
Community Arts Council and
the Slocan Valley and Arrow
Lakes Community Arts Council

% were among: the/recipients of

grants totalling aver. $340,000
from the B.C. cultural fund to
72 community arts councils
throughout the province. -

Castlegar's arts council re-
ceived $2,110, while the Winlaw
area council received a total of
$1,660.

These grants are awarded .

annually, based on a per capita
formula, to provide incentives
and assistance to arts programs
at the local and non-profession-
al level. The arts councils use

the money to provide small ~

assistance grants to local cul-
tural groups, to stage perform-
ing and craft festivals, and to
encourage co-ordination and
communication between local
arts groups.

In announcing the grants,
Hugh Curtis, the minister in
charge of government services
said, “We feel this assistant
the-community -level .is- ae
sary for the continuance’
amateur and recreational arts
activities.”

Commenting on the role of
civic support of arts in the
community, Curtis stated: “We
hope these grants will continue
to provide an incentive for
municipal and regional govern-
ments to become more involved
with local arts groups and
projects.”

Grants are paid from the
B.C. cultural fund, which con-
sists of interest generated from
the. fund's $20-million endow-
ment and receipts from provin-
cial lottery funds,

* “More than 46 per cent of
each grant comes from lottery
funds,” said Curtis.
