SUN STAFF PHOTO / Marilyn Strong Pearl’s Principle #3: As I sit at my computer I see a beautiful day just outside my window. What will I do with it? Yesterday is gone, I only have today. I have no guarantees of tomorrow. I must plan for it, but it may not come, I think of the tragic story of the young man in the army who got married and three days later was killed. He was preparing a life with a love- . D ly young bride r not knowing | that he only . r| W had three days GAETZ With this in mind, Pearl's principle #3 is “I only have today” For those of us who have been “meaning to” or one day we will “get around to it”, I'd like to encourage you to just do it. I talk a lot about dreams and taking risks because that's what it takes to get off the safe, same, . dreary road and do Take a look into the world of the telescope Slocan Valley Rec Commission plans night of celestial viewing Sun Wire Make sure the kids are well rested and hope for clear skies because the. telescopes are returning for another night of celestial viewing The big evening is planned for Thursday, Aug. 31 at the Appledale Hall and Ball Park. The Slocan Valley Recreation Commission is once again host- ing the free event which brings the Community Astronomy Pro- gram of the H.R. MacMillan Planetarium and Gordon Southam Observatory to the Slo- can Valley. There are two tele- scopes which will be utilized, the largest of which stands 10 feet high and has a 25 inch (63cm) reflector. In years past the telescopes have focused on star clusters, the rings of Saturn as well as various other astral phenomena. The evening gets underway at 9pm with your host from the planetarium Bill Burnyeat offer- ing a 40 minute slide show in the hall, explaining the wonders of the galaxy. The slide show is always a hit and Bill varies the show to offer new glimpges on space each time he shows up. After the slide show it's out to the telescopes for star gazing into the wee hours of the morning Remember to wear clothes suitable to the weather and the Appledale Hall Society will be KINNAIRD CHURCH OF GOD Pastor John Wiutf (B.th., M.Div.)

I definitely wasn't living in today. My twin brother, whom I have mentioned before, is fighting the dread disease of cancer, and has been given a very short time to live. In the past month, he has taken a cruise, (mind you the ship caught on fire and he had to be flown home), and he has gotten married! How is that for living life to the fullest. I haven't done anything quite sO outrageous but as I huffed and puffed up the roads here in town on my old bike I decided to make a change. I traded the old one in for a newer mountain bike T told the owner of the bike shop to please explain the different gears to me-beeause I never changed gears on my old bike. He said, “How do you get up the hills?” [ said, “I walk, what else!” Could it be that we have “gears” we aren't using and we are struggling along never mak- ing a change? We could be flying instead of puffing up the road. One reader, Vi Kalesnikoff, has shared one of her newest principles of life! “I take care of myself. I am learning to set prior- ities." Some people may say, this Uniforms & Jackets DAY BY —“Fomly have today” sounds selfish, But as a counse} lor, I have seen many people who are unable to begin to meet their own needs, They may be the caretaker of everyone else, but their own needs go begging One day we wake up to discov- er we are in great need and we can’t ignore it any more, The trigger is usual ly anger or depression, AY telling us that something is 7 wrong.
