Chamber reports
tourism increase

The Castlegar Chamber of
Commerce reports visitors in
the first two weeks of July to
the Chamber's Travel Infor-
mation Center are up over
200 per cent from last year.

According to the chamber,
this year more than 335
visitors stopped by the Tra
vel Info office in the first two
weeks of this month to ask
for information about Castle-
gar, the Kootenays and
Expo.

“Expo is on nearly every-
one’s mind” said chamber ad-
ministrator Ann Stasila.

“Almost two thirds of our
visitors are on their way to or
from Expo and stop in during
the day to find a place to stay
overnight. The rest are visi-
tors to this area, here specif-
ically because of something
they saw or heard about
Kootenay Country.”

Stasila noted that “this
year it seems that most of
our visitors are overnighters

so our campsites, camp-
grounds, motels and hotels
should be noticing the busi-

ness.

Almost 15 per cent of the
people who visit say they will
consider returning to B.C.
and to the Kootenays, and

is encouraging for
in the next few

“If we get them for one
night and they return next
year, then we have them
hooked,” she said

“Our visitor
are now in full swing,”
went on to say.

“The Castlegar Visitor
guide is getting great re
views from the residents and
visitors and the Castlegar
placemap is going into its
second printing very shortly
We are very pleased with the
support we have received
from the businesses and the
Castlegar community for our

Each week a visitor will be
selected as Visitor of the
Week and will receive gift
certificates and gifts from
merchants in town.

“We hope that this will en-
courage them to stay here an
extra day and enjoy the
Castlegar area” said Stasila.

Chamber of Commerce
tourism director, Marilyn
Strong commented “with all
the emphasis that everyone
is placing on tourism and
with support programs such
as Superhost and Partners in
Tourism we should all be
aware of the values and
benefits of tourism to this

area and what our ares has to

gar highway and the Douk-

“These are the major at

sites and to enjoy them
selves” Strong said.

Nelson firemen
good sports

Teams from Robson,
Castlegar, Pass Creek,
Thrums and Nelson North
Shore competed in the annual
SunFest Firemen’s Competi-
tion held during SunFest
weekend at Pass Creek Park.

Other teams were invited
but weren't able to attend
the competition for various
reasons.

It was Nelson North
Shore's first time at the com
petition and also their first-
ever competition. The team
was awarded the Good
Sports Trophy.

A new event added to this
year’s competition — the
men’s house rescue — proved
popular. The event involved
one fireman rescuing a body
(a watermelon) from a
smoking house while the rest
of the team poured water on
the roof.

In the men's events, the
hose lay make and break
competition was won by Pass
Creek No. 2, first in 20.96
seconds while Pass Creek No.
1 was second in 30.14 and
Robson No. 1 third in 34.04.

Castlegar No. 1 was first in
the beer barrel while Robson
No. 1 and Robson No. 2
finished second and third re-
spectively.

The bucket brigade was
won by Tarrys No. 1 with a
time of 35.69. Robson No. 3
was second in 37.48 and Pass
Creek No. 2 was third in
41.63.

In the house rescue,
Tarrys No. 2 was first in
113.01, Robson No. 3 was
second in 114.02 while Castle
gar No. 2 placed third in
115.92.

Pass Creek No. 2 and
Robson No. 3 tied for the
high aggregate award.

In the ladies’ competition,
Robson won the hose lay
make and break with a time
of 33.87. Pass Creek was
second in 59.69.

Robson won the beer bar
rel and Pass Creek was
second. Robson won’ the
bucket brigade in 55.76 while
Pass Creek was second in
107.59.

Robson was the ladies high
aggregate winner

few have the courage to come
to grips with it and find out
the truth

Any who have dared to
approach the subject have
only done so with the in-
tention of denying it alto-
gether, or pushing it aside as
the speculation of religious
fanatics.

The very fact that this
question keeps surging up
within man with great force
is in itself proof that man is
an eternal being.

The Bible says that there

are people who live in fear of
death all their life. Heb. 2:15.
What makes people afraid of
death? The Bible says that
the sting of death is sin. I
Corinthians 15:56.

Our sin, whether we know
it or not, is what makes us
afraid to die, for death is an
appointment with the God
whom we have sinned
against. Hebrews 9:27.

I knew a man who shunned
water all his life because he
didn't know how to swim.
One summer however, a
friend of his took the time to
teach him to swim and then
he didn't shun water any
more.

If you are a person who is
afraid of death it is because
you don't know how to face
death. Instead of joining the
throng who make the futile

attempt to deny the life

beyond the grave why don't
you prepare for it? God has
made such ample provision
for you to have such a blessed
life after death that you can
even look forward to death.

Jesus died for you, and His
suffering atoned to God for
your sin and cancelled all
your guilt. When Jesus was
buried He conquered death
and rose from the grave.

If you believe in Him as
your Saviour you shall rise
from the grave in a body as
He did, and you shall go to
heaven as He did, and you
will have everlasting life, joy,
blessing, peace, riches and
glory as He has.

Why be willing to deny the
possibility of the total fulfill
ment of your own existence
in the life to come.

Would you believe that
God can work such a miracle
of grace in your heart and
mind that you could look
forward to death as the most
glorious experience you could
ever enter into? It is hap-
pening to many in this very
community, in these days.

Friend, life after death is
indispensable to the fulfill-
ment of God's purpose for
you. Surely you cannot be-
lieve by any stretch of the
imagination that this life with
all its suffering, sorrow, pain,
hardship, tears, bereavement
and death is a becoming com-
pletion of man whom God
created in His own “image”.
Seek — and ye shall find
something better and more
glorious.
