Teamwork is the name of the
game as Kiwanis Club members
continue their restoration at the
Castlegar Rail Station.

Four members of the club,
Mario Fehrenberg, Rob Dunlop,
Brian Brown and Dean Carter,
were hard at work on the back
bedroom of the station living
quarters last Sunday afternoon.

Place while a fourth nailed them
on. They will be filling and pain-
ting soon so that one of the most
badly deteriorated rooms in the
station will shortly be both warm
and new again.

Last fall, the Kiwanis Club
took on the restoration as a win-

ter Project — sup-
Plying both materials and labor.
This is the fourth assault on thie
restoration which began with a
major cleanup of the area,
followed by stripping the walls
and ceiling, hauling waste, con-
tinuous sweeping, installation of
outlets, insulation, a vapor
barrier and now the- gyprock.
Trim and baseboards will follow.

PULPIT &

PEW

By TED BRISTOW
Castlegar United Church

A few years from now people may
ask, “‘Where were you when the war
started?"

I was visiting in a kitchen, with the
cable news quietly on in the living
room. We heard firing, and knew
what it meant even before hurrying
to watch. It was a sombre moment;
members of this family were in the
military and expecting to be sent to
the gulf.

Earlier that day I had lit a candle
at a gathering to symbolize a prayer
for peace burning in our hearts while
we discussed other— things. That
evening, at another gathering, I
again lit a candle, to remember that
even as we carried on, people were
risking_and_suffering-and dying, and
we were praying. -

I now light a candle at each church

service, to . I know of one
church where their candle has a
yellow ribbon on it. That seems ap-
Propriate. .

A few days ago I heard Rabbi
Harold Kushner, writer of When
Bad Things Happen To Good
People, predict that the war, once
it’s over, will increase attendance at

church and synagogue, because this
war will make us more serious about
Peace.

I said much the same at church on
the first Sunday of the war. I hoped,
I said, that the younger generation
especially will realize the horror of
war, and dedicate themselves to
preventing and resolving future con-
flicts.

The world ‘needs more people who
are very serious about making peace,
I said, and maybe that’s one good
that can come out of this terrible
time.

The point of church and
synagogue, Rabbi Kushner was
saying; is that gathering with others
gives us energy to pursue higher
goals, like justice and peace and
faith. It}s like the difference between
‘watching a football game on TV and
actually being there, he said. We
need to actually be gathered with
others at worship, caught up in the
feeling and fellowship, for it to get
through to us enough to perhaps
make a difference in how we live.

God has invited us to love our
enemies, pray for God's will to be
done on earth, cherish the Vision of
everyone having enough and living
unafraid (see Micah 4:3-4). It’s hard

to do this when it seems we can do
little, and life distracts us with lesser,
selfish pursuits. We need to be highly
motivated to actually do anything
toward a better world.

I nonetheless hope the day will
come when many more people will
do their part to make the world a
better and safer home for coming
generations. I hope we Canadians
will learn to use our wonderful
democracy to find out and speak up
and give and vote and pray for a bet-
ter world. I hope for a world
movement to write the history of the
next century as an age not of war but
of feeding and housing and
educating and respecting all the
People of our wonderful global
village.

It won't be easy, of course. We'll
need faith in the God-given vision of
justice and peace to withstand the
discouragements and keep on putting
love of God and neighbor ahead of
all else. Those of us who believe in
God will need to believe and work
very hard.

Still, I dare to hope the time may
come, let's say a century from now,
when people will be able to look
back. and ask: ‘‘Where were you
when the peace started?’’

Teacher
faces
problems
in Peru

By JOHN CHARTERS

Teaching forestry in the jungles of
Peru is, in itself, a jungle, according
to Denis Holden, a member of the
forestry department teaching staff at
Selkirk College.

Holden spoke last week at the
regular dinner meeting of the
Castlegar Rotary Clut and his
message was a complex one.

In the first place, he said, Peru has
not one but three economies — the
official government economy, a sub-
sistance trade economy and the drug

DENIS HOLDEN
. +. teaches forestry

cartel. This is played out against a
spiraling inflation, inefficiency and
indifference on the one hand and a
very active and dangerous, but
mutually supportive drug culture and
terrorist revolutionary group (MR-
TA) on the other.

Holden, who has taught forestry
in many countries of the world, was
sponsored by the federal gover-
nment’s Canadian International
Development Agency aimed at
helping Third World countries.

In theory, the program would be
self-supporting by having the studen-
ts set up portable sawmills in the
jungle*and selling the much needed
Jumber;-while-getting- practicattum=
bering experience.

In practice, as a consequence of
the activities of the drug mafiosi and
the terrorists, it was impossible to
Operate in the jungles so that there
was neither money nor practical ex-
perience — a situation in which good
intentions were completely
neutralized by facts and conditions.

Asked about the destruction of the
Amazon jungle, Holden, an
ecologist, stated that plant growth in
the Amazon was being replaced by
nature faster than it was being cut
down — far faster than in B.C. for
example. The problem, he stated,
was in the loss of ecological diversity
— a worldwide problem — since the
Amazon basin has the greatest diver-
sity on earth.

Soon it will be Valentine's
Day. What are you planning to
do for your sweetheart?

May we suggest buying a can
opener? It could then be used for
cutting the ends out of tin cans
so they can be flattened and
saved for dropoff at a recycling
depot.

Perhaps a nice coffee cup that
he or she could bring to the of-
fice? This would help reduce the
use of disposable styrofoam cups.
How about a metal teaspoon to
go along with the mug? Then it
won’t be necessary to use plastic
spoons and stir sticks.

Your sweetie might appreciate
@ personalized card made from
materials you've already got at
home. You'd then be able to
show off your wit and at the
same time avoid buying one of
those glossy non-recyclable cards
that will surely end up in the

of purchasing
something with wasteful
packaging and wrapping, why
not consider a gift of your time
or talents instead? Maybe you
can cook up a nice treat, or do
something special together. When
was the last time you went for a
walk together, or went to a
show?
Potted plants always make nice
gifts. Depending. on what type of

choose, you may be able to tran-
splant it outside when the snow
goes. Of course, if the -worst
happens and it should die, then
you would be able to put it into
your home compost.

Your sweetheart is sure to love
you if you do something thought-
ful for the environment. Future
generations will also be fonder of
you if you don’t leave them a
mess to clean up. Don't forget
the hugs and kisses.
