* Page 4A The Castlegar Sun ° Wednesday, October 28, 1992 St. David's Thrift Shop celebrates 20 years St. David's Thrift Shop opened in October 1972, in the little shop across from the liquor Store. A thrift shop was the brain child of the late Tonnis Killough and the purpose was to help the finances of the church, to make use of clothing and houschold articles people no longer needed, and to be of benefit to the com- munity. Recycling was not a familiar word at that time. The Anglican Church Women and the United Church Women agreed to go into this venture and so without a great deal of fanfare the St. David's Thrift Shop was opened. When the small store on Maple Street , now Fourth Street, have donated clothing to families who have been victims of fire, and refugees. The from our Shop are divided equally between our two churches, with d, in 1976 we moved to the old School Board Office on Columbia Avenue. After:a.few years we were on the move again as our premises were to be torn down to make way for the court house Now the Thrift Shop is located in the premises vacated by CKQR in the Oglow block, below the Motor Vehicle Branch Office Over the years we have served the community by making good used articles available at very reasonable prices. We have made donations to the Community Ser- vices Centre, the Legion and have given “toys to the fireman” to refurbish for Christmas Fortrel material was given to the Catholic Women’s League to help them in their quilt making project. Cotton rags are kept for garages and paint shops, and worn out coats and sweaters are donated for the comfort of ani- mals at the animal shelter.

SUN STAFF PHOTO /John Van Putten Red Cross workers return JASON KEENAN Sun staff heavy vegetation, an extremely high level of rain, was the next The local Red Cross office has been doing its part to help hurri- cane relief efforts in the United States. Two staff members from the Red Cross Kootenay Regional Office in Castlegar went to aid the American Red Cross in Florida and Hawaii. Gary Ockenden, the regional director at the Kootenay region Red Cross, was in Florida to help in the relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew, while Karine Johnson, the region's pro- gram co-ordinator for health and safety services, was working on Hurricane Iniki relief efforts on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. “It looked as though somebody had dropped a bomb in the middle of the island,” said Johnson. Kauai, because of its rich, tropical vegetation, is known as the garden island. But Iniki made it a mfuch different site. “There were no leaves on the trees.” And the reason for the P that relief efforts had to contend with — ensuring the popu- lation had shelter from the rain. “The military and the national guard moved through the island and tarped the roofs,” she added. Her role with family services of the Red Cross gave her the oppor- tunity to meet the people effected by Iniki. “It was hard work, but I wouldn't have missed it for any- thing.” She spent a lot of her time in a tent in the sweltering heat, interviewing people to see what they needed in terms of relief. “We worked until it was too dark to see the paper we were writing on.” She would follow up that interview with a home visit, which gave her the opportunity to see the damage first hand. Kauai is a resort area, and is basically rural outside of the tourist areas. That landscape was different from the suburban Miami where Gary Ockenden was. He was helping the American Red Cross in their relief efforts in GOODZYEAR F-32 <= Mechanical Services Available At Most Locations « WHEEL ALIGNMENT TRACTION You can count on! p" ICE RADIAL Ss the part of the state after the late-August hurricane left hun- dreds of thousand of people home- less. Many people in the South Dade County area were with out sewage, water, power, or stores. “An awful lot of people refused to leave their homes,” he added. “They want to protect them, or Stay with what's left of their homes and property.” Close to 200,000 people still remain in the heavily effected area south of Miami. Ockenden was one of a number of Canadian Red Cross workers who went down to assist in what has become the largest ever Amer- ican Red Cross relief effort. Over 1,000 Red Cross workers have been brought in to southern Flori- da, and they had served over three million meals between Sept. 1 and from overseas assistance foi oe, Saath Scenes of destruction, such as this one, was common in both locations where local Red Cross workers were sent to provide aid. Sept. 20. “The personal impact of seeing the disaster area was pow- erful, but my work kept me busy,” added Ockenden. The life of a relief worker is early mornings, long working hours, and sleep. Coming all the way from Cana- da to help out relief efforts made a big impression on the American Red Cross workers and those affected by the hurricane “They said ‘It’s so far away and you care enough to come out and help’,” said Ockenden. Working in a warehouse that supplied 12 huge feeding kitchens, and 30 mobile feeding vehicles, Ockenden did everything from loading boxes in to trucks, driving a fork lift, and managing the entire Because the amount of aid a person in need gets is based on how badly damaged their shelter is, the Red Cross had to assess every home in the area as either slightly damaged, extremely dam- Photo submitted aged or destroyed. Out of the 130,000 homes assessed so far, more than 60,000 had suffered extreme damage, or had been destroyed. “That's more than every single home in the East and West Koote- nay,” added Ockenden. The neutrality of the Red Cross helped them get aid to many peo- ple that the other aid groups, like the Army, were unable to reach. “A lot of illegal farm workers and immigrant Haitians and Mexi- cans live in this region,” said Ock- enden. “The Red Cross seeks them out since they are afraid of being deported or arrested.” Three weeks after the hurricane had hit, a shell of a house con- tained three or four families who had received little or no help since the storm hit. The Red Cross was able to help. “That was very rewarding — to help these people out.” These 1992 CMA graduates will show you what the “M?’’stands for.
