PETER LUTHERAN Reverend Glen Backus Wednesday, June 9, 1993 they were giving their children opportunities for growth and education, It was far better for the kids to learn lessons for the futurg to make them independent than to shower them with toys and gadgets, or encourage them to rély on their parents for an inheritance Those who are seniors today, and those who will soon be seniors, have control over the largest block of wéalth ever real- ized by Canadians. Most of it is tied up in the inflated value of their property and the home in which they live. This is not a “liquid” asset, for they must live somewhere. Some seniors can sell their property and move into something smaller and less expensive, thus realizing a bit of extra money on which to have a better life Other seniors, retired from the .work-force on fixed incomes, faced with ever increasing property taxes, will be forced to sell and move, even though the very thought is unpalatable. Many have high emotional stakes in their homes, in part because its value makes a statement for their self esteem and self worth. Part of that stake is the emotional need to leave solutely nothing! something for their children When children are better off than their parents, they should encourage their parents to use the built-up equity in the family property, Parents, in their advancing year, should feel free to sell their own assets, without having guilty feelings about "spending their children's inheri- tance"! Seniors who retired in the late 1960's were the first to benefit from pension funds that were paid by a growing work force and that were not tied to needs or assets, Seniors who will fol- low will ndt be so fortunate. All governments are taking a hard look at the wealth tied up in property, and are steadily and relentlessly discovering ways to encroach upon it. Inevitably, all families. will be required to pay for the care of older family members and all family assets will be considered in the equation. As the percentage of seniors in the general popula- tion grows, the free ride for many families must cease. It is happen- ing already, even with a govern- ment that was elected on a socialist platform.

Job 28:1, 5, 6, 12, 15, 23, 28) Job knew that the wise person, the one with appropriate values in life, is one who fears (or reveres and obeys) the Lord. The writer of Psalm 19 knew this too: "The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever, The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold." (Ps 19:9, 10) Others, such as the fortune-seekers along the Klondike a century ago, or those who seek security today in contemporary ways, may put their hopes and their trust in gold or a great variety of other things. But these things don't last. The wise person is the one whose trust is placed securely in God. When one has done that, everything else: wealth, health, friends or anything else of importance may pass away, but the person who trusts in God will remain secure. As the apostle Peter put it: "The (grief and trial) have come so that your faith — of greater value than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire — may be proved genuine and mayyresult in prise. glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed." (1 Peter 1:7) Where have you placed your trust? Wednesday, June 9, 1993 The Castlegar Sun A hello to Castlegar from Westminster Abbey. A tew of us are fortunate enough at some time in our childhoéd Or adult life to find a ‘special place’, a refuge, a retreat where we can escape for a little time for ‘life's fitful fevers’. Mine is the Abbey of St Joseph of Westminster, better known as ‘Westminster Abbey . and its teaching facility, the Seminary of Christ the King. Like most Benedictine monas teries it is located on the top of a hill which, in this case, is about ten min utes drive out of Mission, B.C. and overlooks the city, as well as the slow moving Fraser River and its beautiful valley. On a clear day one can see the vapour crown of the not-quite-extinct volcano, Mount Baker, and the rugged Olympic Range in the distance It’s easy to find, and well worth the effon, and tours are held in the afternoons. To get there turn left off the highway going east out of Mis: sion and turn left again, at the fine new ‘Stave Lake Road, Turn right when you intersect with the Lougheed Highway, and proceed for about half a mile until-you see the big Westminster Abbey sign on your right, and the gently curving blacktop drive which leads to the top of the hill and the monastery As you turn in you will see the monastery farm on your right with its silo, cattle bam and out-buildings. Just beside them is a later structure, Father Dunstan's sculpting studio, where he has already created twenty massive concrete high bas-relief sculptures presently hanging on the walls of the new Abbey church. He is now working on some larger Pieces.

He grew up, received his education and farmed in the area until 1946. On December 26, 1935, he married Alice McCormick at Smokey Lake, Alberta. In 1946 he answered an advertisement for fruit pickers in Renata. With his pioneer spirit, and the love’ of farming he moved to Renata where he operated his own orchard until 1966, when he was forced 10 move with the flooding of the valley when the Hugh Keen- leyside Dam was completed. He moved to Creston and started another orchard where he operated until 1979 when he retired to Blueberry Creek. As hobbies he enjoyed woodworking, gardening, playing cards, tending his fruit trees and working jig saw puzzles. He is survived by his wife Alice, of Blueberry Creek, son and daughter-in-law, Allen and Darlene M.
