Page 6B The Castlegar Sun Doukhobor homespun goodness on display at the Nelson Museum Collection by Stan Sherstobitoff Submitted To commemorate this June's 100th anniversary of the Destruction of Weapons by the Doukhobors in Russia, the Nel- son Museum is presenting a special exhibition of Doukhobor Handicrafts from the collection of Stan Sherstobitoff of Nelson. The exhibition is entitled “Homespun”, and consists of many items made for home use by Doukhobor pioneers of the West Kootenay’ area. Ttems of furniture, including benches, tables, chairs, shelves and chests are complimented by tapestry rugs, weaving equip ment, utensils, some linen tex tiles, and a selection of photographs. Stan Sherstobitoff began col- lecting West Kootenay business and cultural articles some years ago, and has made a special point of collecting Doukhobor items. He has done this since he realized that many artifacts of historical importance were leav- ing the area with collectors, as their owners were no longer able to keep them or care for them. Items from his collection have been featured in such pub- lications as “Canadian Country Furniture” by Michael S. Bird and “Pioneer Soda Water Com- panies of B.C.” by Bill Wilson and Jim Askey. “Homespun” opens with a public repeption on Friday, June 23 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Exhibi- tion hours are from | to 6 p.m. daily except statutory holidays until July 22. Exhibitions at the Nels.n Museum are assisted financially by the Province of B.C. and the City of Nelson. A small admission fee is charged to those who are not members of the Museum.

Knowing how to swim makes water activities much more fun for kids and less worrisome for parents, which is why BCTY, Red Cross and Reealty World have ‘pooled resources’ with Castlegar Aquat- ic Centre, for the Kids Learn to Swim for Free program. “Learning to swim is an important life skill, and the Red Cross and our community part-, ners are committed to making free swimming lessons in Castle- gar a reality,” said Rick Graham, Manager of Water Safety Ser- vices for the Red Cross. Spokesperson for Realty World, Cora Toth, echoed Mr. Graham's sentiments, saying: “Children love summer and they love the water, but for many care- givers summer can be very stress- ful. In an ideal world, knowing how to swim and being prepared with water safety skills would be part of everyone's education and we want to make that happen.” “We want people to be able to enjoy summer safely and are very proud to be supporting the Kids Learn to Swim for Free pro- gram,” she said. Children will be selected to participate in free introductory (Yellow Level) Red Cross swim- ming lessons from a random draw of entries. To find our more about the Program and where the nearest entry box is located in your community, contact Castle- gar Aquatic Centre. “We're extremely grateful for the support of BCTV, Realty World and local pools; without their support, this program would not be possible,” Graham said The Red Cross strives to make water safety awareness and swimming lessons accessible to people of all ages. Each yean over 180,000 people participate in Red Cross Swimming lessons. Castlegar, along with 60 B.C. communities, is working in part- nership to make aquatic opportu- nities available to all. The Kids Learn to Swim for Free program will be offered July 17 to 28.

Water safety program Take Care on the Water returns Submitted Summer’s here and it’s time to head outdoors and enjoy British Columbia's lakes, rivers and waterways. To spread the word about the importance of water safety, Mol- son Breweries has announced the reprise of its successful Take Care on the Water program in 1995, Endorsed by the RCMP, and the British Columbia Boaters Association, Take Care on the Water is a public awareness cam- paign designed to help educate the public on the importance of safe water and boating practices, and responsible use of alcohol when on or near the water. The program began in 1994. “Take Care on the Water was very popular last year and we are happy to be teaming up with Molson to spread the water safety message again this summer,” says Rob Goldberg, President, B.C. Boaters Association. “For everyone's sake, it is essential that we constantly stress the importance of water safety.” Molson, the RCMP, the B.C. Boaters Association, and a num- ber of other agencies concerned with water safety, will be dis- tributing Molson tip cards and floating key chains to remind cot- tagers, boaters and the general public to familiarize themselves with boating regulations and safe- ty precautions when they are in, on, or near the water. This year's tip cards stress personal water- craft safety. The Take Care on the Water tip cards are waterproof and feature a brightly colored design to encour- age use. The tips emphasize safe boat- ing and personal watercraft prac- tices and regulations that have been identified by water safety experts as particularly important to the public in preventing water- related accidents, “Molson Breweries has been an industry leader in responsible use programs for several years. We received such positive feedback from last year’s program that we felt that Take Care on the Water should remain an integral part our other Take Care initiatives,” says Bruce Pearce, Manager, Public Affairs, Molson Breweries. The tip cards are available by calling the. Molson Consumer Information Line at 1-800-565- 8800 or writing to: Take Care on the Water, Molson Breweries, 601 West Broadway, Suite 1100, Vancouver, B.C, V5Z 4C2. * Be alert to all situations involving anyone Tips for safe summer fun who might be in the water, divers, sonal watercraft operators should be given a safe, wide berth, Exercise caution and courtesy + Use minimal speed in congested areas and during adverse weather conditions. * Avoid wake jamping and passing close to any other boats. + Securely attach engine stop lanyard + If provided, attach engine stop lanyard to your ‘wrist or lifejacket.

Whatever thing it is that doesn't love a wall, a part of human nature — some fundamental need — exists that does. That need is for boundaries — to mark, to seclude, to surround, to protect. Fences, by creating a boundary (be it a strong physical boundary or a gentler visual one), meet those needs. They mark limits - an where one world ends and another begins — secluding what remains within so that ‘t stays safe, secure, nurtured, and refreshed. guide a pattern of and should be. Thus, + environmen, shape spice in a more clearly defined way and form or that supports your ideas of what home life can boundaries you create can be as much a They organize the service to you and your household as they are to others who use the site or who simply enjoy passing by. Though a fence is a simple structure, it has a lot of visual impact, which means that it can play a significant part in the impression your Property creates and in the feeling it gives. When a fence is thoughtfully planned, carefully designed, and well crafted, that impression can be strikingly beautiful no matter how simple or complex a style it is. Your home and property afford more comfort and becomes a more pleasant place to live. And the expenditure of energy, time, and money yiclds a tremendous return for the effort When you're through building your fence, perhaps you'll discover that good fences really do make good neighbours after all.
