AIDS. It means various things to many people. To some, AIDS is alien; it could never happen to them or others, AIDS is a way of life. Some prefer ignorance over knowledge, while others choose jo face it as their biggest adversary. Regardless of your stance on AIDS, it must be acknowledged as the most dangerous of the sexually transmitted diseases, and as of yet, there is no cure. Only prevention, in the form of safe sex and absti- nence, is a possible combatant of the virus in the AIDS scenario. Knowledge is the biggest weapon of all; it's up to us to use it though. With the permission of my friend in Vancouver I’m going to relate an AIDS related scenario of which I've become aware. She was 18 when this story took place; she wasn't “wild” per se, but she didn't practice safe sex. Her attitude towards AIDS was similar to that of many adolescents: “Oh, it can’t happen to me..,what are the chances that this one of billions of men will have AIDS?" (Cliche num- ber 467); an attitude that had ultimately sealed her fate. She is HIV positive, and in my Opinion, she has dealt with her sit- uation very well; she showed great responsibility and cotfipassion for whom she had had “encoun- Carison’s | tes” with, all of which Jater tested for AIDS as well. If only she had been this conscious of the pos- Corner sibilities form the very start then none of this would be necessary. When she told me I was stunned. I never knew anyone v with AIDS before, and least of all, I never d it to be her. Mind in turmoil, body in rebel- Dan Carlson lion, I faced. the fact that AIDS can happen to anyone...a possibility I've always been aware of, I ss, but never totally expected. Now I’m 18, and she,is 22. We're both in fairly good shape, but it could happen anytime... = Reflections a Continued from 5B then knew that his prayers had been answered and that he was carrying on his shoulders the Christ laden with the sins of the world.

If someone should ask, “Would you like to have peace?” most people would say, “Yes, I would.” A few would ask, “What does it mean to have peace?” To have peace in your heart - that is the joy of freedom from condemnation. But we are born in sin. We live in a sinful world. We are all guilty, and we know it. To know that Jesus is your saviour, not your judge, is to have that peace in your heart. Jesus has brought the good news. He said, “Come to me all you who labour and are " heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:21) Why are there so many broken | “ciniarfiaiges?- Why;don't neighbors and co-workers get along with each other? Why does one nation rise up against another? Why is there no peace? ‘The prophet, Isaiah, 740 years before Christ was born, called Him, the “Prince of Peace.” Worship Sunday School 10:00 am and (Isaiah 6:9) Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you.” (John 14:27) There is no way to get peace without the Prince of Peace. The Ten Commandments are found in Exodus 20. How good they are. They are God's order for the new way people should live, if we could live up to them, there would be no trouble at all. If you are speeding and you know it, you feel guilty, you worry about getting caught - and when the police catch you - terrible. But if everybody lived according to the law, we wouldn't have to build a new police station. It happened in Kirgizistan that a Christian man arose in the morning one day to find that someone had cut down all his fruit trees. For a long time, he did not know who had done it. Years later, another man came to him and confessed that he was the one who had cut down the trees. He said, “I cut the trees down, and now the time has come for me to die, and I am not ready. I feel guilty. Come and we shall cut down all my trees.” but the Christian said, “No. That would serve no purpose.” Still the other man persisted. He had to do something to remove his guilt. Eventually it was agreed that they would only cut down the man's best tree. Each of them took an axe and together they both cut down the tree. How far people will Castlegar Works Across Canada, a broad belt of forest covers much of our land from east coast to west, from the U.S. border to the Territories. This vast blessing of trees is an part of the i affecting wildlife, air, water- sheds, soil conservation, people and economic wealth. Our more southern forests are easily acces- as environmental groups to pro- duce assessment information. One of these studies was ip Depending on the forest competition among the industry, which is already bracing for pos- sible the Forest Resources Commission in 1991, a committee that, after months of research, came to these general conclusions: The forest industry is the most significant economic force in the sible to the majority of C: who live within 150 miles of the U.S. border. These forests are an invaluable breathing space and recreational treasure for Canadi- ans, and a “tree-mendous” attrac- tion for foreign visitors. Canadian forests supply hun- dreds of thousands of jobs in sil- viculture, harvesting and fi ing wood prod especially in B.C. where there exists major industry in lumber, plywood, pulp, paper and related products.

Cc more than one quarter of a million people rely on the forest economy. According to a report from the Forest Resource commission, more than 67 per cent of Castle- gar's employment ig directly related to the forest industry. This compares with-22.5 per contin - Kitimat and 55.6 per ceht in Williams Lake. Considering the employment base between the Celgar Pulp mill and the Pope & Talbot Sawmill in Castlegar, it’s no wonder this community is depen- dent on the forests. Assigning financial values to the forest resource and the multi- tude of activities that take place within it is a daunting task. Sever- al studies have been undertaken by government, industry as well in no way be seen as a “sunset” In Castlegar, the Pope & Tal- bot sawmill recently decided to place Phase Two of plant upgrad- ing on hold until the future Allowable Annual Cut is certain. While the Timber Supply Review has been criticized by some members of the provincial media as the NDP governments attempt at appeasing vocal and indnotry. Is innpact varies demets cally from community to commu- nity, ranging from minor in some to overwhelming in others. It is possible to weigh the effects of the different forest management goals and tech- niques on all values in the forest. Last year, the provincial gov- ernment began a review of the provinces various Timber Supply Areas, each of which gontains its own Allowable Annual Cut (AAC). While the review is far trom comp the general from many politicians, including Rossland-Trail MLA Ed Conroy. is that the figures representing the AACs across the province, and indeed in his riding, will be reduced, perhaps by as much as 20 per cent. A lowering of the AAC means less wood can be taken from the forest, and therefore increases active envi MLA Ed Conroy defends his govern- ment’s plan to audit the provinces richest resource. “We have to step back and take a view of where we are at in terms of volume. We have to analyse what is out there and how long it will last if we keep this current pace up.” The Arrow Forest District office has completed a technical paper that discusses this area's Timber Supply Area. Greg Rowe, a forester with the Arrow Forest District Office, said the report is in Victoria now and is being reviewed by the Chief Forester John Cuthbert. He expects that a new AAC for this area will be set later this year.
