Muriel Wilson was ap.

bers were present for the
dinner, as well as hospital
administrator Ken Talarico,
hosital board chairman Merv
Rush and director of nursing
Denise Reed.

Denise Reed thanked the
auxiliary for recent purchas-
es for the hospital and spoke
on the in-hospital program —
quality assurance and goal
achievement — and on the
functions of the Red Cross

and asked for volunteers to
man the blood donor clinic
coming soon to Castlegar.

Ken Talarico brought the
auxiliary up to date on the
plans and progress for the
new extended care wing and
thanked the ladies for all
their work and contributions,
as did Merv Rush.

Annual reports were heard
from all committees. It is
noted that the auxiliary has
had an extremely active
year.

Muriel Wilson, Teena
Leitch and Patsy Popoff at-
tended the sod-turning cere-
mony for the extended care
wing, recently held on the
hospital grounds.

Winner of the 20-ounce
silver bar was Tannis Zoob-

donated by the hospital and
raffled by the auxiliary.

Pastor Sahlstrom transported children in a 1928 Chev,
home-built wooden van for the first Sunday school.

The church remained quite small in the little trailer
until 1952 when two enthusiastic young ladies, misses
Jean Pennoyer and Frances Clemo, arrived with prayer
zeal, and determination to literally build a church with
hammer and nails and very little else, after the
Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada bought the lot behind
Jim Lamont's Shell Garage at 767-11th Avenue.

Pastors from Trail and Nelson and city residents Don
Phillips and Eric Holmquist added carpentry support to
the zeal of the ladies who were often seen busily working
with hammer and saw to build the first church with its
innovative brick siding and living quarters above the
sanctuary.

. In 1958, with a growing congregation, the church
was doubled in size by addition of a new sanctuary with
fellowship room upstairs; the older part becoming
Sunday school rooms. This building is now owned by Leo
Bosse and leased to Selkirk College as their adult
extension campus across from the new Forest Service

- building. This first church served Castlegar for 35 years

as the P 1 Tabernacle.

In 1960 Pastors Roy and Lois Webb arrived to
replace the ladies who shepherded the work from mission
to church. The Webbs were followed by Rev. Keith and
Betty Cooper and family in1966 and Rev. Max and Jean
Simmonds in 1967.

In 1970, Rev. Lester and Pat Markham served as
pastors and in 1971 Rev. Harold and Margaret Graham
cared for the church until they retired to Creston in 1978.
Rev. Roy and Elvia Hubbeard followed the Grahams.

congregation launched out to purchase the old farm East
of Castlegar Primary school which was large enough to
give Castlegar both a new church and a family housing
development.

The Pentecostal Benevolent Society at Castlegar
was formed and in 1982 Maranatha Court came into being
with 34 housing units for children to senior citizens.

Concurrently, a new church with seating from
400-600 was designed by Vancouver architect Vern
Delgatty. Pastor Hubbeard saw the ground breaking in
August, 1982 with volunteer work continuing by faith and
much perserverance for the next six years through the
heat of summers and the snows of winter.

The congregation moved into the unfinished building
in 1987 as work continued. Now the building is finished.

In 1984 Pastors Ken and Ilene Smith and family
arrived to pastor the church. The church was renamed
Pentecostal.New Life Assembly and on May 29 will be
dedicated to God for the people of Castlegar.

The congregation invites visitors during their
dedication weekend starting Friday night with a reunion;
Saturday morning with a pancake breakfast and Calgary
rodeo singer Jack Jackson; and Sunday afternoon
dedication service with District Superintendent Reuben
Schmunk. _

have access to a major U.S.
program of business oppor-
tunities, Economic Develop-
ment Minister Grace Mc-
Carthy announced this week.

The U.S. Department of
Industry and Commerce in
Washington, D.C., has
agreed to provide the Econ-
omic Development Ministry
with computer access to its
new Trade Opportunities
Program (TOPS), McCarthy
said. r

TOPS supplies information
about international sales
leads, joint venture enquiries
and requests for agents and
distribution systems. It was
launched in April by the U.S.
department and is expected
to distribute more than

“The TOPS daily list of
about 100 new inquiries will
be added each day to the
Economic Development Min-
istry’s growing province-
wide computer network for
business information,” Me-
Carthy said.

The West Kootenay En
terprise Development office
in Castlegar and East Koot
enay Community College
both have access to the min
istry’s computer network,
which is based at the British
Columbia Enterprise Centre
in Vancouver.

McCarthy pointed out that

this network is the first
public service of its-type in
the world, and provides
businesses throughout B.C.

world markets.

“The use of electronic in-
formation systems is be-
coming a vital tool for busi-
ness, especially if they are
small businesses,” she said.
“These systems open up
markets for small businesses
that would normally be too
expensive for them to enter.

“During my trade missions
to European and Asian coun-
tries, I found that in spite of
our small population, Pacific
Canada — as many are be-
ginning to call us — is with-
out question internationally
recognized as a centre of ex-
cellence,” she said.

The electronic service at
present has close to 10,000
information listings, and by
August will have 45,000. By
next year, it is planned to
have more than 100,000. All
are being indexed for easy
retrieval.

Available at present are:
international information
about trade, consulting and
major projects opportunities;
information about B.C. sup-
pliers and the goods and ser
vices they provide; and a cal.
endar of events of interest to
the business community.

The service also provides
foreign buyers with infor
mation on British Columbia
products and_ services
through the Ministry's Ot
tawa and five overseas of.
fices.

The service is expanding to
include: small business in.
formation with answers to
business questions; trade
bulletins of interest to im
porters and exporters; B.C.
and international trade stat
isties; and B.C. directories.

In co-operation with the
business community, the
ministry is in the process of
identifying other areas of
interest for inclusion.
