Pulpit & Pew lations of the Bible. Some are translations straight from the original Hebrew and Greek. Others are “para- phrases” which take a lot of freedom to interpret the meaning, as well as to trans- late. I definitely prefer a trans- lation to a paraphrase, since I would rather puzzle a bit over what the writer origin- ally meant than to have someone give me their idea of what it all means, as if their ideas were holy writ itself! But sometimes I enjoy paraphrases. What follows is a delightful little paraphrase of a well- known Bible story. See how long it takes you to recognize the story: Feeling footloose and frisky, a feather-brained fel- low forced his fond father to fork over the farthings, and flew far to foreign fields, and frittered his fortune feasting fabulously with faithless friends. Fleeced by his fellows in filled his frame with foraged food from fodder fragments. “Fooey, my father’s flunk- ies fare far finer,” the fraz- zled fugitive forlornly fum- bled, frankly facing facts. Frustrated by failure, and filled with foreboding, he fled to his family.

The fugitive's fault-finding brother frowned on fickle forgiveness of former folder- ol. But the faithful father fig- ured, “Filial fidelity is fine, but the fugitive is found! What forbids fervent festiv- ity? Let flags be unfurled! Let fanfares flare!” And so, father’s forgive- ness formed the foundation for the former fugitive's fu- ture fortitude. The end.

But the pageant is running into financial difficulties that could spell its demise. Trish Waldie, who heads the Miss Castlegar Committee, said in a recent letter to Castlegar council, “The Miss Castlegar Committee is finding it difficult to keep this event alive.” Waldie said lack of funding is the major stumbling block. “Even with holding two fashion shows, a bake sale and a raffle we do not have funds enough to send our royalty and float to other Interior cities,” she said. Waldie said if Castlegar is to expect other cities to send their royalty to SunFest “we must be able to return the gesture.” She also pointed out that the Miss Interior committee has doubled the entry fee to the Miss Interior Pageant “which means we will be sending only one candidate instead of two.” riding, eyeling and jogging. Unless we can get some help there may not bea Miss Castlegar Pageant,” Waldie added. She said she recognizes the city provides a $100 scholarship for the new Miss Castlegar, but said she must ask for more funding. Coyneil agreed to have its administrative and finance committee meet with the Miss Castlegar Committee and the chamber of commerce to see what can be done. Meanwhile, the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce has informed the SunFest committee that it will not be sending a float to this year’s parade. “When we go to other communities with royalty and a float it is with the hopes that those communities will reciprocate,” said Cranbrook chamber manager Karen Penner. “We have for the past two years brought a minimum of eight people including royalty and float to Castlegar to attend the Miss Castlegar Pageant Friday and participate in the parade Saturday, however, we have not had reciprocation from Castlegar.” DEBBIE BOOLINOFF Miss Rotary Debbie is 17 years old.
