@ Pastor Chen delivered

unique message about
relationship with God

Yesterday I was helping
my sons assemble a freezer
unit for their business.

They were having trouble
because the first pieces had
not gone together correctly,
with the result that subse-
quent pieces would not fit.

It was reminded of some-
thing I once heard from a pas-
tor in Taiwan. It was a good
bit of wisdom.

Pastor Chen was address-
ing a group of young people
on the importance of putting
their faith in Jesus Christ
and building their lives on
Him. He was wearing an
open cardigan sweater, and
as he spoke he started but-
toning it up, from the bottom
up, but putting the first but-
ton in the wrong whole.

He said: “If you get the first
button wrong, the rest will all
be wrong!”. He continued but-
toning the seater to the top,
repeating several times: “If

you get the first button
wrong, the rest will all be
wrong!”

The point he made, very
clearly, was this: “If you want
to have the rest of your life in
order, it is important that you
get things right now, by
putting your faith in Jesus
Christ.

Pastor Chen was talking
about the foundations of life.

One doesn’t have to be a
builder to know how impor-
tant the foundations of a
building are.

Common sense tells that
you can’t build well on a bad
foundation.

A builder I know once
found that a sub-contractor
had put in a foundation for
him which was several inches
off square. He had to correct
the error before he could pro-
ceed to build the house.

Similarly, we cannot ex-
pect our lives to work well if
they are not build on good
foundations.

For the Christian, that
foundation is Christ.

Scripture is clear on this
point: “For no other founda-
tion can any one lay than that
which is laid, which is Jesus
Christ.” (I Cor. 3:11)

We don’t have to be young
in order to get the buttons of
life done up correctly. We can
start at any time.

Of course it may involve
undoing some that are
presently wrong. But the re-
sults of building our lives on
the foundation which God has
provided for us in Jesus
Christ are certainly worth it!

I SHSS teams inch closer to hosting West Kootenay Play-
downs with healthy triumphs over Trail and Grand Forks

Jonathan Green
SPORTS REPORTER

Stanley Humphries senior basketball teams went out this week
and made some arrangements for the end of February.

By defeating their rivals from Grand Forks and Trail, the Rockers
and Rockettes are each one win short of hosting the West Kootenay
Playdowns on Feb. 23 to 26.

Tuesday, the two squads travelled to Grand Forks to tangle with
their Border City opponent in their first leg of the three-team playoff.
A few hours later they returned home with a pair of snoozer victories.

Getting 28 points from Rhonda Dawes and 18 from Jan Holden,
the Rockettes romped to a 75-15 win.

Wednesday, the opponent may have been different but the end re-
sult wasn’t. Dawes lead again with 20 points and Tamara Rezansoff
pitched in with 14 as they dumped the J.L. Crowe Lady Hawks 62-26
at Selkirk College.

Coach Jack Closkey said with only five players, Crowe was at a dis-
advantage to begin with. He said had Hawk star Danya Nonis been
there, the Rockettes wouldn’t have had such an easy time of it.

“I think that would have made a big difference,” he said. “As soon as
they saw she wasn't there, I think they lost a lot of intensity.”

Outscoring their opponent 13-2 in the first quarter, the Rockettes
scored 17 straight points in the second to lead 30-2 at the half.

Utilizing his bench, Closkey saw the Lady Hawks close the gap to
45-20 by the end of three but that was as close as it would get.

He said the depth the Rockettes have now is encouraging as it’s
something that’s developed over the team’s first 20 games.

“Scoring is no longer a big issue because a lot of people will score
now,” he said. “That wasn’t the case earlier in the year.”

On the Rockers side, things were almost as easy for the guys as it
was for the girls.

After laying a 84-59 licking on Grand Forks behind Dan Kooznet-
soff’s 31 points, they avenged a weekend tournament loss to Crowe
with a 73-53 win.

Marcel Dusseault led the hosts with 14 points, one more than Ryan
Vatkin’s 13.

Coach John Ritchie said introducing a new defence in practice was
one of the keys to victory.

He said that Hawk Jim Ripplinger killed them in the Crowe Cage-
ball final Saturday, so shifting from a zone defence to a man-to-man
was something they needed to do to win.

. “When a guy scores 36 points against you... that helped,” he said.
“No question.”

Coming out strong, the Rockers were up 21-11 after one quarter
before turning things up a notch for a 37-18 halftime lead.

Ritchie said unlike Saturday's game, the Rockers came out for the
second half a lot like they left after the first half. ‘

He said they kept things under control and didn’t allow Trail to open

things up like they did in the Cageball final.

“We played a little bit more consistently,” he said. Overall, I'd say we
played a lot better.”

Another win over Crowe by both the Rockers and Rockettes guar-
antees them home court advantage in the playdowns. '

four-game offensive display on their way to

team’s first five goals in an 8-4 win over
regional rival Rossland-Trail.

Reaching Sunday’s final, the Reps kept it
going as they rebounded from 4-0 first
