All Canada’s scoring came in the third period. Sweden scored one in the first and its second in the third. King said the turning point in the game, played” before about 5,000 mostly Soviet fans at the giant Olympic stadium, came mid-way through the period when Danny Gratton of Barrie, Ont., scored to put Team Canada ahead for the first time. The second. period had been a lacklustre affair but, from the opening whistle in the third, both teams played with determin: casional finesse in their attempts to add more offence. 3 Todd Strueby, a 26-year-old winger from Lai in, Sask., took a rink- wide, breakaway pass from linemate Todd Brost, swung aroufid Swedish goaltender Peter Aslin and scored into ion, speed and the oc- an open net at 8:57 That tied the score at 1-1 Then at 11:11, Gratton fired a slap shot from the blue line for the go- ahead score and Graves, of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., scored what proved the winner 14:07 with help from Steve Nemeth of Calgary. Sweden got back within a goal at 19:24 when forward Anders Huss poked the puck through the legs of Canadian netminder Warren Skorodenski, who has bounced back and forth between the NHL and the minors for most of his pro career Both Skorodenski and Aslin played the entire 60 minutes.

Over the past year and @ half-he has had an extremely difficult walk thfough the Valley of the Shadow of Death, but is now ready to start an entirely new life after having to set aside the old. < The'letter, edited because of its length, and printed with permission, is both a kind of confession by a man who has, as he says, ‘thad my priorities turned upside down," and an empathetic reaching out to those who are walking or who have walked a similar road, It is, 1 think, pertinent to the season. He writes to his friends as follows From early December . . . J. Munday, c/o Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Milroy, 1885 Feltham Rd., Victoria, B.C., Canada, V8N2A7 I'm typing this on the anniversary of my heart surgery. Two of the four vein-turned-arteries did not “‘take,”” but thanks to God’s grace, the surgeon's skill and a dozen pills a day, heartwise I'm better than I've been for a decade. Otherwise, the whole experience has brought me to a fresh realization of my own mortality, and to an acute and necessary crossroads of my life. God has been working and I'm grateful that He has. He wan- ts the very best for me just as I have longed for so many years for the very best from Him Part of a letter received this morning from a very faithful aunt deserves quoting: “You refer frequently to seeing ‘the light at the end of the tunnel.’ If you can’t see that light it’s because the tunnel is so full of people who are passing through deep, deep waters and needing one another to help them mave toward the light.”” It all leads up tothe Positive, and if any “tunnel strugglers”’ can identify and so be pushed ahead to bask in His Brilliant Sunshine, so much the better The necessary process of complete reconstruction — not just patching up the old — has been exceedingly difficult. Every aspect of my life, it seems, has been shaken. In June I was able toreturn-to Ecuador for the trauma of seeing Diospaj Nan become a foundation. | formally rel hed all that had my life, my love, my purpose and my identification for the past 13. years. Still encased in that dark and sometimes terrifying tunnel of depression, I was ‘‘funnelled’’ up to Colorado on Sept. 7 The missing of so many, many loved ones from the 31 years in Ecuador, to say nothing of my home, my “family,” the culture and the country itself, has been great and at times almost unbearable. It is then that God's still, small voice says simply, ‘*Trust Me!”” I feel like one whose past stopped abruptly on Sept. 30, 1988, the day I left Quito for emergency heart surgery. I have no idea what lies ahead . . . humanly speaking, no goals and no hope. But God reminds me in that same still, small voice, ‘Trust Me!” Sometimes I’m seized with another kind of panic For my eyesight seems to get worse, rather than better and all prognoses are negative.

Unconsciously I’ve always told mysélf, “It can never happen’to me!" But I’m having to change all that now and admit amidst insomniatic nights. “It HAS happened to me!"* And when my spirit quietens down | can just hear God’s reminder, ‘Trust Me!"* I’ve always tended to “weep with those that weep,” to suffer with those who hurt. I love people and I love giving. It is hard therefore to find myself so suddenly on the receiving end of things, so dependent and so unable todoall that I had dreamed of But God was more desirous that I learn to BE all that He dreamed, and that | be first and foremost a lover of Him; my priorities are being turned upside down so that my inward man might be renewed day by day. As I'm sure that just about everyone is going to be able to relate to much of this within his or her individual and special. I’m daring to put it all down on paper. Many, are going through deeper waters, so the good news and the positive side to this, my last letter from Colorado, is soon to be typed to live effectively my newly applied Christian faith and life. For sonfe reason I did not catch on that a deeper and victorious walk with God was available and possibly only through the same kind of child-like faith in the same Lord Jesus Christ Struggle continues I desperately needed a power that was not my own \_behalf In theory I knew and I taught that Christ was the only one who could live the Christian life. But like a foolish Galatian I had begun well ‘with the Spirit’ through the simplicity of receiving, and immediately tried to attain my goal (of living an exemplary **Christian life’’) by human effort All the negatives on the first page of this letter are finally making sense. They are there because of God's permission. And they’re God’s provision to ‘crowd me to Christ’s cross.’’ That cross is the place of death that leads to resurrection life, here and now. It’s strange, somehow, that God makes a deeper life with Him so op- tional, Perhaps it has become a road less travelled because death to anyone, including Christians, is so repulsive. John Charters Reflections and recollections Despite its emotional-type after-effects, heart sur- gery in itself was neither difficult nor traumatic, for it was all performed under extra-heavy doses of anesthetic. Spirjtual surgery, on the other hand, is more painful for it is performed without anesthesia. The mind and the will must be constantly alert. And God’s Holy Spirit must be constantly relied upon to complete the good work Heis so capable and desirous of doing, in full cooperation with the patient All my apparent losses, all my hopes and dreams, all my anxious thoughts are surrendered and left at the cross of Christ (all with my consent and in the simple faith that He is totally trustworthy) if I am ever to enjoy His victory and His life even here, to the fullest I’ve started in a very rough form a series entitled Many with My Gr *s House and ultimately ending with John Munday’s Bed- side Manor. I'll have to include a volume called The House That Dave and Judy Built. they have contributed so much to my general well-being here in Colorado, forming an ideal spiritual support team. A short while ago I was experiencing one of my classic ‘‘downers,"’ the blackest ever. In retrospect it was funny; but at the time I was desperate. It was late at night and I was so desperate I went to Dave's room to ask him for any kind of a pill to put me out of my misery. I was living proof that nothing worked or else that I had reached a stalemate with God. Dave came in. He took time to talk and to listen, then sat with me on the bed and prayed for me! A few Sundays ago, knowing I had again fallen apart on that particular day, Dave, whose mealtime “Lord, we trust you.”” Although she is a decade younger than I, Judy's godly wisdom and sensitivity of spirit reminds me much of my own mother’s. Despite a very active life, she makes time for everyone in need, especially those who are wounded in spirit (like just about all of us!). When she looks and listens, prays, evaluates and counsels, you suddenly become the most important person in the whole world. Her own personal walk and experiential knowledge of God born through her own soul struggles makeit all valid. And for all this I thank him. Today I hope to classify and to pack the gifts that should already be on their way to Diospaj Nan for Christmas. My cluttered room and numerous over- weight suitcases must also be prepared for the long flight to Canada. Hysteria at this stage would only hinder and paralyse me, so I'll do what I can now and thank God for tomorrow. I’ve yet to book a plane reservation. If you have managed-to-read all of this-f-congratulate and thank you, I also apologize. And please start — or con tinue — praying, and be assured of my prayers on your Gratefully and with much love, John Mund: P.S. John is back in Victoria now. I phoned last Monday.

Yet, because fewer homebuyers are in the market now sellers may have more holiday spirit about negotiating their price. home prices adjusted for seasonal variations are traditionally among the lowest of the year in December, most price increases occur during spring and summer months Another aspect to this season for home sales is that real estate agents have extra time to spend for potential buyers. Competition of choice homes is less of a factor, so buyers generally can go shopping with the peace of mind that a home they are con sidering may not be snatched from under them while they think over the sy ecember 17,1989 CastlegarNews D-sar-D DINING LOUNGE OPEN 4 P.M.
