Road
to Mecca
at Capitol

The Road to Mecca, Nelson Little
Theatre's third and final production
of the 1989-90 season, opens May 24
at Nelson's Capitol Theatre.

Written” by South” African
playwright Athol Fugard and named
best foreign play of 1988 by the New
York Drama Critics Circle, it was in-
spired by the friendship between
Helen Martins, an eccentric Boer ar-
tist from the boondocks, and a young
social worker from Cape Town, a
news release says.

Martins, who died in the mid 1970s,
lived in New Bethesda, a village in the
Karoo, a valley north-east-of Cape
Town. There, in-the tast 15-years of
her life, she created her **Mecca,"’ a
menagerie of concrete sculptures.
Today, those sculptures are a tourist
attraction but when Martins made
them they were dismissed as the
work of a mad woman.

Indeed, the single-minded pursuit
of her art led to her isolation from the
other villager’ and when the play
opens she has but two friends left,
Elsa Barlow, a Cape Town
professional, and Katrina, a young
black.

While the audience never sees
Katrina, it does see the village’s

@ somewhat simple man to whom

"s Statues are more than an J
abomination. They are a threat to the
Biblical order in which woman is less
than man and where both are subject
to the will of God, the release says.

In this production of The Road to
Mecca, Helen Martins is played by
Fran Patterson, Mary Defeo is Elsa
Barlow and Peter Faris portrays the
dominee, Marius Byleveld. The play
is directed by Gus Bos.

Tickets for The Road to Mecca,
which opens May 24 with a ‘‘two-for-
‘one night” and which continues May
25, 26, 31 and June 1 and 2, are

ilable from the usual outlets and at
the Capitol Theatre.

DAY BREAK
WIZ

By KOOZMA TARASOFF
Special to the Castlegar News

tain, had reached the pinnacle of his career, coaching
Simon Fraser University’s Clansmen basketball team
to championship seasons for six years. A former
Olympic-calibre player himself, he had made basket-
ball his life. Suddenly, in February 1971, he collapsed
on the gym floor of Simon Fraser, himself the victim
of his success. He had driven himself to burnout.
That burnout problem became an opportunity to
come to grips with himself, his own Russian-
Doukhobor background, and the wider world. It
became an internal perestroika and glasnost which led

into old problems, of letting go of useless baggage
(confusion, guilt, inferiority) and finding new purpose
of living with happiness and love.

Just as with perestroika, this process of discovery
was painful. But it opened up new creative
possibilities. It presented opportunities of taking
charge of his life and directing its forces into more
constructive channels.

For Kooty (his nickname), it has meant
acknowledging his roots, which are meaningful and
significant to him. It has meant ing passion and
energy to be a full participant in life.

Kooty owes his insights to many peoples, begin-
ning with his own background. He was born in 1935 to
a Doukhobor and Ukrainian family in the Canora
district of Saskatchewan, and later moved to Van-
couver Island, He was influenced by people like Lev
Folstoy, Gandhi, Leo Buscagtia, Albert Einstein,
Marilyn Ferguson, Jean Jouston, Brock Tully, and
} many others. Hi: ip with Canadiantadians—

Burnout leads author
to self-discovery

Jon-Lee Kootnekoff had climbed up to the moun-

him on an exciting journey of discovery, of new insight

argued against their support of U.S. involvement in
the Vietnam war. .

But in learning and living, seeking truth was part
of that creative process. From Tolstoy, the Indians,
the Doukhobors (especially the insights of his gran-
dfather Hrisha) and others, he came to the realization
that love and God are one and the same and that both
are inside ourselves. We are born with it. And we sim-
ply need to aken this knowledge so that we can
live it in practice.

Since 1975, when Kootnekoff established the
Horizon Positive Self-Image Institute in Vancouver,
he has been travelling throughout western Canada,

BOOK REVIEW

and in parts of the United States, Australia and
Europe, presenting seminars, workshops, and clinics
in the areas of personal and professional growth and
development. He works with coaches, student-
athletes, teachers, administrators, corporations,
government agencies, and native Indian communities,
assisting them to increase their effectiveness, produc-
tivity and sense of fulfilment, and to grow as in-
dividuals, by developing positive attitudes. In this
journey, his guidingrinciple is to look for answers in-
side yourself.

The journey goes on, according to Jon-Lee, as he
concludes his last chapter:

“1 am still learning how to seize, enjoy, and live in
the moment. I am continually seeking and accepting
challening opportunities, risking the unknown, step-

ping out of my comfort zones to walk down other
‘ Finow-that-bef iat A

gradually helped him to accept his identity as a
Doukhobor.

From parapsychology, Kooty discovered the
powers of creative visualization, that is, the ability to
achieve a goal by seeing it and-all of its parts vividly in
one’s mind’s eye. He had learned that thoughts are real
forces. They are tools. Thought is energy. Prior to his
Clansmen games, for example, he would go for a run
during which he would mentally dip into a ‘‘committee
of minds’’ made up of the world’s best basketball ~
coaches. Their thought vibrations would be available
to his mind to pick up for he believed strongly that his
mind was both a sending and a receiving station of
thought.

reading books, and analyzing dreams, Kooty began to
question the “‘truths’’ handed down to him over time.
* In so doing, he became a creative non-conformist,
much to the dismay of his family, his friends, and his
associates. Some labelled him as an “‘undisciplined
Doukhobor,’-others as“ i a

‘With the stimutt of atrending countless seminars, the Games of Life, by Jon-Lee Kootnekoff (Van-

curs, we must want to experience personal transfor-
mation. I continue to tell myself: ‘Jon-Lee, don’t
change people. Don’t change the world. Simply,
change you!’ ’’

In-our sensitive and creative world of perestroika
and glasnost, Jon-Lee Kootnekoff’s book From Kooty
With Love is a useful first step for our personal growth
and evolution. It is a very frank and honest book of
self-discovery, of letting go of our garbage within, and
of being happy in the inside. Thank you, Kooty, for
widening our inner door, coaxing us to find more
suitable paths, and helping us to reach our own moun-
tains. And enjoying it in the process!

7.2 per cent in April after falling
sharply in March, Statistics Canada
said.

Despite jumps-in-interest_rates and
widespread job losses in the manufac-
turing sector, the unemployment rate
remained steady thanks to a big in-
crease in the number of people
working in other industries.

Overall, 56,000 more people had
jobs in April, mainly in the service in-
dustry, public administration,
agriculture and other resource in-

since employment increased by 75,000

by a decline of 45,000 in manufac-
turing, the second month of notable
decrease for this industry,’ Statistics

hits the skids

OTTAWA (CP) — The Canadian
dollar faces a rocky ride over the next
few weeks as concerns about Meech
Lake and a weakening economy shake
confidence im the currency, some
money traders said.

The dollar tumbled about three-
quarters of a cent last Thursday and
Friday as money traders apparently
used remarks by John Crow, gover-
nor of the Bank of Canada, as an ex-
cuse to drive the currency lower.

‘We're certainly in a period of un-
certainty and confidence generally has
said Bob Jarrett,

at the Bank of Nova Scotia.

Currency dealers are on the edge
of their seats, watching for any signals
interest rates might fall and make the
Canadian dollar less attractive.

The Canadian dollar skidded lower
last week when traders thought they
say whose telltale signs as Crow
to a C

economy

that the might be

weakening.

The central bank governor has kept
interest rates high in a bid to slow
spending and curb inflation.
