Everyone has the ability to use more, and therefore be more in-tune with themselves and how everyday incidents are affecting them. “There is also a major connec- tion between emotions, thinking and breathing,” said Forry, whose presentation will show how a specific breathing tech- niaue can safely access and Castlegar Branch: #100 - 630 - 17th St Castlegar, B.C.

Submitted by: Pastor Ira Johnson, Kinnaird Church of God The readers of this column come from a variety of church backgrounds and teachings, and there may be a few who have no official church affiliation who also read what the pastors have to say from week to week. We all would do well, I believe to ask ourselves the serious question: “Am I more concerned about truth than I am about tradition?” Just how serious this question is, and how important it is, can be seen by looking at an KINNAIRD CHURCH OF Ira L.

It is no use for them to worship me, because they teach man-made rules as though they were my laws.” (V 8-9) That is strong language, but Christ knew well, how sincere people can become blinded to truth by their traditions! Even though his disciples expressed the worry that his statement had offended the official church leaders, Jesus did not retract his words one bit. That takes courage, and a deep love for truth. ANOTHER EXAMPLE! In the Apostle Paul's letter to the Galations 1:13-14...The great Apostle confesses that there was a time -in his life when he followed the traditions of the Jewish religion in an extremely zealous manner. Those traditions and teachings had led him so far astray as to make him blind to the revelation of God's true “Messiah” Jesus Christ. But...when the truth dawned upon his heart and mind, he willingly laid aside those traditions that had obscured God's glorious truth! Over the centuries, the Christian Church has accumulated a lot of tradition that is now being taught right along with the gospel, in fact one wonders sometimes whether people's ‘faith really is in Christ, or is it in their church and its traditions? The Apostle Paul, having struggled through this matter of truth versus tradition, states the position he came to in this regard. Here is what he wrote to the Corinthian Church: "For while I was with you, I made up my mind to forget about everything except Jesus Christ, especially his death on the cross” ( 1 Corinthians 2:2) The Christian Church needs to get back to the simple truth that God has provided a savior, so that all who Tepent of sin and place their faith in him Christ are freely forgiven, and that through that committment, God himself adds such persons to His church.

John Lyly - Elizabethan writer The Grim Reaper has sythed a rich harvest in the past twelve months among many of the friends I have known and admired. Not the least of these was the unexpected news of the death on October 20, of friend to many and former fellow teacher, Walter Banigan. He and his wife Nina had visited us and many of his old friends in the Kootenays only weeks earlier, full of plans for tours, hikes, travels and opti- mism. He returned home the fol- lowing week for a medical examination and a verdict of inoperable lung cancer. In retro spect I keep wondering if his Irish fey had not warned him that this was in fact a farewell visit. Who knows? In any case, while official obituaries have appeared in the Toronto Globe and Mail and in the Vancouver Sun, his life and example played such an impor- tant part earlier in the West Kootenay I would like to add a small personal tribute on. behalf of his many friends and stu- dents here, for he was a very special person. He was born in Toronto in 1921, raised and educated there and served in the Armed Services during the war. He came to Van couver in 1950 where, at the Van- couver Vocational Institute he took industrial arts training with Stan Fisher of Rossland - a friendship which lasted until his death. Walt was a man who made long-lasting friendships. “Banigan was a perfectionist”, said Stan. “He worked himself to the limit to ensure that every detail was just right so that at the end of that very intensive course we almost had to pour him into the plane, he was so exhausted.” He got a job with the Castlegar School board in the fall of 1951 to start the I.E. program at the newly built Stanley Humphries High School. I met him there at the front of the school, laden with equipment a tall blonde, youngish man with a quizzical, engaging grin “I'm Walter Banigan, the new wood shop teacher “, he told me, “and I'm looking for the Industri- al Arts Department. Can you tell me where it is?” “IT can,” said I, “but you can’t carry all of that stuff.” Then turn- ing to three boys watching nearby I ordered, “I want three volun- teers, you, you, and you. Gather up Mr. Banigan’s gear and show him the way to the wood shop.” Army discipline was still intact Walt grinned a little more broadly and took off with his well-laden escort. “That was my first lesson in class management,” he was to say many times later, while a new friendship was born and the foundation of an excellent wood shop was established at SHSS from that moment. He was the kindest of men and his only weakness was the inabil- ity to say “no”, but he soon estab- lished a reputation as an excellent teacher, endlessly patient and deeply concerned about the suc cess of every one of his pupils. “In fact, he was perhaps too kind for his own good, “ said one friend, “and he could be imposed upon, but he set a long lasting example for dedicated meticulous work.” When later he became interest- ed in the scouting movement he threw himself into it with the same enthusiasm as he did in his teaching and organized the O.B Ballard Troop, a group of senior scouts called Rovers. It was this drive, his willingness to learn anything and his attention to detail which enabled him to become an excellent instructor so that the troop of boys from Rob- son and Castlegar were able to take extensive canoe and camp- ing trips with him all through all the area lakes and mountains. Jim Waldie, who was then his next door neighbour in Robson was one of his trainees and later became a senior scout leader him- self, says: “He was a gentle per- son, always willing to listen to the problems of 16-18 year-olds, an ideal confidant and a tower of strength during my father’s last illness. He ran an excellent troop and kept us always interested and challenged by careful preparation and planning. I cannot praise him too highly.” Later, he left the high school and joined the Cominco Person- nel Department to organize the company’s apprenticeship pro- gram helping make ‘it one of the best in the province. He remained with the company until his retirement Waldie who was also one of his pupils, says: “There are many former apprentices, now suc! ful trades journeymen who will remember him fondly.” NEW IN TOWN?

Sellirl<, College Throughout his life Walter Banigan gave fully of himself to his work, to his community, to his church and to his family. “He was a damned good friend,” retired SHSS engineer, “Mac” MacPherson of Balfour recalled, “serious, but a lot of fun”.
