Youthspeak column will have something for young and old

This is the first of many month-
ly columns which the Castlegar
Youthspeak Society is taking on
to express a personal view about
the society and certain issues

which we are embarking on.
Every month this column will be
written by a different youth to
enable the community to see
things from another perspective

In this first issue I am going to
discuss about the statement of
activities concerning the Castle-
gar Youthspeak Society, our goals
and fundraising

First, Youthspeak was devel-
oped to represent the social,
emotional and political needs

QUALITY CARE

of youth, to encourage and sup-
port the education and develop
appropriate use of political
process, to educate the Castle-
gar community to youth needs,
and finally, to provide a forum
to address youth issues and
concerns.

Some accomplished or ongoing
goals of the society include things
such as to survey the youth of
Castlegar in order to find the focal
issues and needs of the majority
and to heighten the profile of the
focal issues and what is lacking in
the community regarding youth.

Others. are to enlist the aid
and cooperation of associations
or persons who already have
expertise in this area, to estab-
lish a newspaper column repre-
senting youth in the community
which has obviously been
accomplished, and to secure
funds through donation, grants
and fundraising for Youthspeak
projects.

Youthspeak’s main goal at this
time is to raise funds for a Youth
Centre in Castlegar. Some things

which we would like this centre
to contain are things such as: a
skate park, an arcade,
dance/music/place to jam area,
coffee/juice bar/tables, an art

We also plan to hold regular
fundraising events with the
themes of: youth; fun; health;
cooperation and community.

Others are to invite interest-
ed community adults and youth
to work with the society in pro-
viding a healthy, safe environ-
ment for youth to spend leisure
time in, to work with existing
organizations and service clubs
cooperatively, to maintain an
open, non-confrontational part-
nership with the City of Castle-
gar and to express ideas,
concerns and needs to local
politicians in order to create a

wall, a store for teen clothing and
4 part-time youth worker.

To accomplish the above,
Youthspeak needs youth and
adult support to reach its goals.
This means having to attend
meetings and helping out with
some ising events.

In order to help accomplish
these purposes we have elected
youth executive and directors
to speak on behalf of Castlegar
youth at regularly held meet-
ings; are in the process to sup-
port and organize youth to
speak at City Council meetings
and in public arenas on issues
and concerns regarding Castle-
gar youth and have researched
and developed grant proposals
to obtain funding for our goals.

ig P P

To date the Castlegar Youths-
peak Society has been involved
in; Earth Day clean-up project;
Sunfest parade (a special thank
you to Mr. Bill Whitehead for
providing a Youthspeak logo on
his car, a float, and for all of
this valuable time and effort);
volunteering for security at
youth dance; KBS concession
Stand button-selling as a
fundraiser; Christmas carol
singing for a senior citizens’
home; and many more.

From the above mentioned I
hope I have shed some light on
our society, answered some
questions, and above all gained
even more support from the
community for Youthspeak.

One chance

It seems fitting to end the birth
order series in July, since it's the
month of my birth (and my twin
brother Buz). Sometimes birth
and death are only a breath apart
In tribute to my twin whom you
have met from time to time in
this cofumn, this may be his last
birthday unless God directs a
miracle his way. He, like so
many others, has been battling
cancer.

“I love you Buz, thank you for
being a part of my life.”

It makes me aware of how
precious life is. One of my great-
est fears is that I will come to the
end of my time and I will not
have lived. There is a saying that
is so true, “Life is what happens
while we are preparing to live.”
It's happening folks, it’s here, it’s
passing by. What are the things
you have been meaning to do,
hoping would happen, wishing
for? What if this;was your last
year, month or day? What would
be your greatest regret? What
would be the most courageous
thing you have done? What
would your epitaph read?

This past year I have travelled
many miles.. I have been going to
see my children and grandchil-
dren who are the loves of my life.
I have challenged the winter
roads (and lost as I sat in the
Coquallia ditch waiting for a tow
truck). Shaken but not willing to
give up, I determined that I would
not sit in a rocking chair full of
fear waiting for winter to pass. I
told the people in my church that
I would undoubtably die on the
road going somewhere!

It wasn’t said in a foolish
bravado way.. It was said sin-
¢erely. Life is too shén to be full
of fear! What are you afraid of?
Is it keeping you from that goal,
thai wish that is buried deep
inside? How long will you play
it safe? All change involves risk.

Risk is risky! Maybe you will
be rejected or turned down or
laughed at if you go after that
dream. Ah, but maybe you
won't! Maybe it will open a
whole new exciting door.

When I came to the beautiful
Kootenays, I didn’t know anyone.
I came with my “faith” in God
who promised to look after me. I
came with “hope” my work
would be received and needed. I
came with a bag full of fears, but
I came anyway. This has been one
of the most exciting years of my
life. The work I do as a counsellor
and teacher has been accepted
and I've felt needed and wanted.

In a small way I have become
a part of this community. Thank
you for opening your doors and
letting me in.

——$——_____—I

Dear Ann Landers: Regard-
ing Mrs. Dixon who wrote
because her husband wanted to
name their child Mason: Why
not? My maiden name was Rose
Rose. My mother's name is
Rose Rose (hers by marriage,
mine by birth),"In fact, I
attributed my sense of humor to
the fact that I had such an
unusual name.

As a high school cheerleader,
I once was introduced at a foot-
ball game. The announcer said,

and here is the daughter of
Ted Rose and Rose Rose, Rose
Rose.” The audience roared
with laughter. I was not the
least bit embarrassed. I had
been Rose Rose all my life.

I went to school with Scott
Scott. I once met a Mary
Christmas. I even Seriously
thought about keeping my
maiden name when I got mar-
ried because I didn't want to
lose the fun of being Rose
Rose. If you ask most of us
with unusual names, you might
find that we like them just fine.

What would I say to the par-
ents-to-be? Do the two of you
have a good sense of humor? If
so, chances are that your child
will have one, too. He might
have to put up with school yard
teasing, but it won't take ttim
long to learn to accept it with
good humor. — R.R.W.,
Charleston, W. Va.

Dear Rose: Thanks for the
great testimonial. Read on for
more.

My name really IS Mason
Dickson. Actually, it is Donn
Mason Dickson, but I have
always gone by Mason. When
my mother became unexpected-
ly pregnant 37 years ago, my
parents decided to name me
Donn after an uncle, but they
didn't have a middle name
picked out

One night, my father was
playing cards with some of his
friends and jokingly said, “We
are going to name the baby
Mason Dickson because this is
where we draw the line on hav-
ing any more kids.”

The joke caught on, much to
my mother's surprise, and they
did indeed name me Donn
Mason Dickson, thinking
nobody would ever call me
Mason, Ironically, Mason stuck,
and no one has ever called me
Donn.

My advice to Forth Worth is
Go for it. I've had a lot of fun
with this name, and people
always remember me. — D
Mason Dickson in Calif.

Dear M.D.: You and many
others.
