The Castlegar Sun

Voice Within moving dramatization

DIANA PARKER

For The Castlegar ‘Sun

The presentation of the play
“Voice Within” at the Brilliant
Cultural Centre May 14 was a
remarkable and moving dramati-
zation of Doukhobor history
between 1790 and 1899.

The play was filled with
action, passion and song as it
the life and p
of the Doukhobors throughout

the Russian empire.

The audience was moved to
tears on many occasions as they
witilessed the separation of fami-

lies and loved ones during a very
painful time in their history.

Despite the beatings of the

bor people—first by the
Russian Orthodox Church and
then by the Czarist regime—the
Doukhobor people were not
swayed from their Christian
beliefs, morals and ideals.

Love of God, love of their fel-
low man and a dedication to por-
tray their beliefs in a peaceful
manner, led to a nomadic lifestyle
as they were exiled from one area
to another. The climax of their
pacifist faith took place on June
29, 1895 when they secretly

burned all of their firearms and
weapons, for which they were
further punished by the military.
More than 40 local youths
were well cast in their roles and
exhibited a tremendous dedica-
tion in the production of this play,
which has been in the making for
over a year. The play was also
presented last Saturday night.

The Kootenay Columbia Child

Do you ever ask ‘Who am |?’

Who am I? Big question with
easy answers, right? Wrong.

One thing that can be said
about people is that we are never
“boring”. We are complicated,
yet simple, we can act as a mass,
yet we are unique and special.
We are alike yet not completely
alike. Ask O.J. Simpson how
important our DNA is.

Sometimes we are tempted to
think people are all bad because
we see so much crime and injus-
tice and it seems to be getting
worse. I don’t think we hdvé' to
look very far to see “good”,
“kind” and “caring” people—not
perfect, but caring.

But why do we do the things we
do and get into the same trouble
we did the last time we did it?
Why are we attracted to mates who
are opposites of
ourselves.

I remember
one day my
husband and I
were in a book
store. We both
reached for the
same:,booksal,
the same time:

It was called ”
“You're Driving Me Nuts”.

Those wonderful traits that
drew us to one another were now
driving us away. Complicated
people. Yes!

Understanding who we are is a
big step to maturity. Knowledge
doesn’t necessarily change us but
it is the first tool needed if we do
want to change.

Self-Portrait” say, “Personality is

That style is what causes your

May was a month to remember for the Castlegar
Seniors Association. Above (i-r): Castlegar Sun

Isabel Gerrard and Dorothy Raymond receive a

Johnston. After running Seniors Lottery promotions,
The Castlegar Sun and KBS were randomly select-

Retirement home not such a bad place to be

“Look at it as a vacation, Dad,”
was my daughter's advice, when I
told her that I had been instructed
to spend three weeks at the
Castleview retirement residence.

I had injured my arm in a
nasty fall, and it needed time to
I was not
about the prospect, and had told

my daughter of my misgivings.

No sooner, however, had I set-
tled into the depths of that spa-
cious health facility, than I
gradually began to realize what a
bright girl my daughter really was.

The place seemed quite attrac-
tive after all, with its compact
spotless individual rooms, its wide
hallways and general newness.

It was the caregivers and nurs-
es, who first caught my eye. They
were, I found, so accessible, so
easy to talk with and obviously
eager to please. +

Their looks dispelled the last

place, for in their outfits most of
which were similar, those girls
could have taken a beauty prize
anywhere.

As if that
were not
enough when
suppertime
came around
I was cheered
to ‘find an
airy, well-lit
dining room
in which I
could see not
a long eating
table, but rather many small
tables limited, as far as I could
See, to only four diners apiece.

I enjoyed my supper that first
night, indeed as did all the other
diners.

I found the food to be tasty,
certainly eeeily correct, and yet

Seniors

“SUN ‘STAFF

Castlegar seniors will be getting
a boost, thanks to the Seniors’
Lottery Association of B.C.

The Castlegar Senior Citizens
Branch has been awarded a
$1,000 grant from the lottery
association.

The grant is a result of a
draw from those groups which
sold more than $500 in spring
lottery, tickets. Two other
seniors’, groups also received
$1,000 grants.

Meanwhile, Robert Switzer of
Castlegar was one of the winners
in the April 23 draw. Switzer
won $500.

The next lottery draw will be
held Aug. 25. First prize is a
$70,000 motor home plus

and lack
of flavor chat is the feature of so

win big
$10,000 cash. Other prizes will
be vehicles and/or cash.

Because of the value of the
prize package and the extensive
advertising, the lottery associa-
tion is increasing the ticket
prize to $5 from $2. The regular
$2 ticket price will return for
the fall lottery.
