(CP) Gordon. Lightfoot stopped giving interviews a decade ago. “I ran out of things to say,” he said. But in a welcome-contradiction, he agreed to a telephone interview from his home in Orillia, Ont., where he One of today’s hottest country and western stars, Ricky Skaggs, and his band .will perform at the Castlégar Community Complex April 6. Skaggs began his tenure at Epic records in 1981 by unveiling his tradition-steeped album Waiting for the Sun to Shine, a news release says. With his new release Kentucky Thun- der, another deeproots country collec- tion, Skaggs rounds out an artistically rich decade. Between these two mileposts stretches an uninterrupted spell of great musical talent. And, through it all, Skaggs has doggedly carfied the banner for a country music that puts its accent on country, the release says. Although his heavy concert schedule and thriving music- publishing ‘companies might have, by now, given Skaggs both the excuse and means to slow down, he has, in- stead, become more creatively active than ever, the release says, Not only has he co-produced Kentucky Thun- der, but he oversaw Dolly Parton's country comeback package, White Limozeen, and he sings on the newest Essentially;Lightfoot is the icon of Canadian music. He was the man who got radio Stations to play his records before the Canadian government forced them. He -was the Canadian entertainer the Americans kept calling for concerts, the singer-songwriter whose career was preparing for a North ‘concert tour. Lightfoot said when he stopped giving interviews he felt they were best left to politicians, since they appear to have ‘all the answers and opinions, spanned two. even though by his own acknowledgment he never hit super- star status. He has no regrets about the roads he’s travelled, he said. ‘whereas — i ews with were just crazy. It was a refreshed, relaxed Light- foot -who talked about his place in the Canadian—music industry, his new, happy private lifes; and his projects for the future. * 5:30 p.m Xe a4 Sunday Brunch ae 10:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m Reservations 825-4466 KASLO — What is billed as B.C.’s only ision_series_on the state of B.C.’s natural resources returns to the air for its seventh consecutive season on April 4. The series is called Westland and for the last seven years it has been shown on the B.C. Ki Net- HOMESTEAD Soup & Sandwich Restaurant Resources he wonders how things might have been had he taken numerous opportunities to move to the United States and allowed managers to make him a major star. “But I have no desire to be a Kenny Rogers. I’m happy with my profile Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Kenny Rogers, Glen Campbell and Jim and Jesse albums. To Skaggs, traditional country music is essential spiritual nourish- ment. “I don’t care if it’s the year 2000,"" he said in the release. ‘‘I think there’s always going to be a hunger and a want to hear music that touches your heart. To me, traditional music has a value in it, a wholesomeness and warmth that some of the other kinds of music don’t have. It’s our heritage, our roots. It’s everything we're about. “I set out to create a more traditional, back-to-basics kind of sound to bring forth the mandolin, fiddle, banjo and steel guitars that had really been lost by the wayside. It was something I felt like the fans wan- ted, and it was certainly something wanted.”’ e Skaggs won the Country Music Association's award as “‘male vocalist of the yeasr in 1982 and entertainer of the year in 1985. = In 1987, Skaggs and his wife Sharon. were voted vocal due of the year. Lightfoot content the way it is,”” he said, adding that through it all he has maintained a basic respect for his writing ability. “Most people don’t. worry too much about stardom,”’ he said. 4 “Hf they make it, they have to figure that they’re fortunate to have been successful in a business with a lot of risks. Just being able to do well in the business from the point of view of making a living is great — making a good living makes most_people even happier."* . Lightfoot said he has a contract with Warner Bros. to make two more records, but-he’s ‘not in a rush to add to his current collection of 19.

The Columbia Chapter “encom- passes the Castlegar, Grand Forks and Trail areas and extends about halfway to Nelson at which point the Kootenay Lake Chapter, which is co- hosting the event, takes over, Sahistrom said. Some 200 antique cars, worth about $5 million, and 400 to 500 People are expected for the tour, said Sahlistrom, who noted that each of the approximately 30 chapters in B.C. bid on the tour, which means the tour comes to a specific area only about every 10 years. “*It’s not something that’s going to come to Castlegar again in the near future,’’ Sahistrom told Castlegar city council last week. Headquarters of the tour will be at the Castlegar Community Complex SUNFEST '90 and public viewing of the vehicles is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.-May 19 and 20, Saturday and Sunday. Sahistrom said the cars will be generally in the Castlegar area Satur- day and in Nelson on Sunday.

Gerrand and his band chairman, Ken Nelson, have been working for three years to bring an American band to Castlegar’s Sunfest parade.

Floats and bands usually start arriving about 8:30 a.m. and at 10 a.m. precisely the parade rolls out and on to Columbia Avenue, winding its way downtown. The committee has already sent out Gerrard said he expects a lot of the floats to use Sunfest’s Mexican theme. He said sombreros, Latin music and lots of colors will make this year’s parade a tremendous success. Each year, the parade‘ committee works to bring in outside floats, ban- ds and special guests. The efforts pay off because each year not only does the participant rate increase but so does the number of spectators." ‘For instance three years ago there ‘were about 300 people in the parade and last year there were almost 800 and that really pleases _us,’’ Gerrand. said. thei and will be ready early this month to make a special announ- cement about another one of the groups that is coming. “‘We want this parade to be the best oneever, and one that will make Castlegar and area people proud of ~their—commiunity,””~Gerrand said. “*We are sure that the parade enter- tainment that we -have-lined-up-wilt delight the whole community.”” The Sunfest committee will also put a Sunfest program together this year and package it with the Sunfest but- tons. “‘We-felt-this-was- successful last year and we received such good responses that we will do it again,’ said Ross Hawse, president of the Castlegar Festivals Society. The Sunfest program and lottery buttons are the major fundraising events for —_Sunfest.—Sunfest—also receives money from corporate spon- sors for some of the events as well as a sizeable sum from the city. Most of thesé donations are earmarked for a particular event. “*What many people don’t realize is that the Sunfest committee is really an umbrella organization for all the groups in the community who want to put—_on—an_-event—during Sunfest weekend,”’ Hawse said. ‘‘Most clubs and organizations send a_represen- tative to the Sunfest meeting to let the other groups know what they will be doing. That way there are fewer con- flicting events and—any potential problems can be ironed fairly quickly. “We want all the groups in the community to be able to raise money for their own projects,’’ Hawse ad- Pulpit & Pew By Father HERMAN ENGBERINK St. Rita’s Parish T have never been able to discover what standard is used by those con- ducting a public opinion poll when they choose their subjects: The thing I do know is that nobody ever ap- proached me. T have seen many faces of those ‘who-had the courage to appear on television and to tell us why they prefer one special kind of soap, what they think of bake mix or soup mix, why they find the church old- fashioned and why they are against the death penalty. They all have very important faces who are really aware that they express an opinion, even if they have no opinion of their own. Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, the public will adapt itself anyway to the opinion of the majority. The outcome of opinion polis puts its stamp clearly on public life. But that is nothing new. fir; Yellowstone Black Hills June 12-25, 1990 In the Gospel of St. Matthew, we read that-one day “Jesus put this question to_his_disciples: ‘“‘Whe-do People say that the Son of Man is?’’ It is clear that the apostles knew very well what was in-the mind of the people — they were well informed — so they replied: ‘‘Some say John-_the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’’ Had these disciples adapted them- selves so strongly to this public opinion and did they expect that Christ should adjust his behavior to them? Jesus;—however, does something that is very surprising. He asks: “‘And you, who do you say that I am?”” This time, Jesus does not ask an opinion, He asks for a personal con- fession and the disciples understood it that way. Have we understood this as well?

It-is-also true the churches have learned to make use of opinion polls. Making use of statistics has shown that work can be more specified, can become more meaningful, more ef- ficient. However, public_opinions_cannot replace a profession. Opinions remain free and do not demand a commit- ment. Personal professions put a stamp on our lives. ‘That is the reason why Christians gather together Sunday after Sunday to declare with Peter — often against the current opinion — ‘‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God.’’ We are still in the time of Lent, a time when new life is born. It is not too late to begin living what we believe, not what opinion polls tempt us to do. It will prepare us for Easter, so that we can rise with Christ to a new life. into the past!
