Pulpit & Pew Wherever people plant seeds, they expect a harvest. Whether it be flowers or fruit, vegetables or grain or whatever crop is there is a time of harvest expected. As we enter the fall sea- son, we greatly enjoy the re- sults of our labor in our garden or orchard or field as the case may be. The thrill of helping produce something worthwhile is deepened as we succeed in harvesting that crop so that its goodness is not wasted. Some of our produce may eventually find its way to a fall fair where its true merit can be deter- mined. Just as plants germinate, grow and eventually mature and yield a harvest, so each one of us as human beings have our beginning, our time of growth and hopefully our time of satisTying harvest. Each of us has the power to choose the kind of values we will live by in our lifetime. We can choose to live self- ishly, greedily and without thought for God or our fellowmen. We can choose to devote ourselves entirely tp the physical and material world in which we live (even to its betterment) and ignore the accountability we have to ward God and spiritual values. Because we have this power of choice, we are held responsible for our choices our Creator. The Apostle Paul expressed it ii these words: “Each one of us will give an account of himself to God.” Romans 14:12 “It is appointed unto man, once to die, and after that, cometh the judgement” Hebrews 9:27 PREPARE NOW! We can predict fairly closely when “harvest time” will come for our fruits and vegetables, etc. But when we try to determine the harvest time for a person, there is no neat formula we can follow. Disease or accident can usher an individual through the doorway of death at any time, and so we can not go along in life saying to our- selves: “I still baye a long time to live” for none of us has a guarantee of even tomorrow. Therefore, we are wise to evaluate our lives in the light being in harmony with both. bY If they live without God and regard for His provisions they will die in that state. I am reminded of the sad words that the prophet Jere- miah was foreed to write about the people of his day. This is how he expressed the situation. “The harvest is passed, the summer is ended, and we are not saved" Jeremiah 8:20 Avoid that tragedy in your life. Your life can count for something more than money, or pleasure or fame. Prepare now so it can count for God, for people and eternity.

Asa result, the association's board of directors will meet Friday to discuss re-wording the form, which it requires all its clients to sign before providing home support care. A Castlegar woman whose 35- year-old brother is suffering from “Lou Gehrig’s disease” has called the dis claimer a form of “emotional black mail”, but agreed to sign it after she said the association threatened to stop providing home support care for her brother. Trudy Murray said her brother did not want to sign the disclaimer, so she signed it instead. “We had our backs up against the wall.

He said actual changes to the boiler will take place next spring and involve a two-week shutdown of the pulp mill. Morandini also said some modi- fications have already been\‘made to the boiler — which he called the “hub” of the air emission control program — based on results of the model tests. He pointed out that the mill's maximum: permissable level for air emissions dropped from 70 parts per million to 60 ppm effective June 30. He said the mill has exceeded the limit only once, in early June, because estimated to cost $1.8 > come in at about $4 million, Ag well, digestors, which affect effluent dis- charge, will cost $8 million, not $1 million as originally estimated. “You don't spend $8 million over. night,” said mill manager Wilf Swee- ney, adding that the digestors project will take two or three years and involved a twoto three-week shut down. “That's a whole different ball game,” Morandini said. Morandini said there has been some “trade-off.” The company has accelerated the work on the recovery boiler to reduce the odor emitted by Strachan noted that his’ ministey will review the company’s financial Position when it receives a copy of Celgar’s year-end statement Dec. 31. “When that report is received, I will be reviewing my options for adjusting the variance order as a result of the significant change in the economic outlook of the company,” said. Council had written Strachan re- minding him that one of the restric- tions on Celgar’s variance order was that if the company’s economic outlook brightened, the pollution upgrading program would be accelerated. Spraying approved By SURJ RATTAN Staff Writer A spokesman for the Pesticide Control Board in Victoria has con. firmed that a B.C. Environmental Appeal Board has granted C.P. Rail permission to spray its tracks in Castlegar, Trail and Nelson with the herbicide Spike 80 W. Dan Kronen said the three permits issued to C.P. Rail will allow it to spray until August 1988. However, C.P. Rail has told him that it won't spray this year, but will start next spring. C.P. Rail has been issued three permits to spray Spike 80 W to control weed growth — and two of the permits involve areas in Castlegar. The first permit is from Castlegar south to Trail and includes Kinnaird, Genelle, Birchbank, Trail, Rossland and Warfield. ‘The second it. covers the Boundary subdivision including all yard tracks except for the yard tracks in Castlegar and Nelson. The area to be covered is from Castlegar to Nelson. The third permit _ covers tracks in Nelson. Kronen said that four conditions have been placed on the permits. They are: that a Ministry of Environment official be present during the spraying; that a C.P. Rail official from Nelson be present during the spraying and that he travel in front of the spray apparatus; e that the spraying only be con ducted during daylight hours. @ that the speed of the spray apparatus does not exeeed 16 kilo metres per hour. Regional District of Central Koot enay chairman George Cady called the decision to spray “a darn shame.” “The Environmental Appeal Board handed down its decision late last week. The permit gives the C.P.R. the right to spray, not only that but it gives them the right to spray until August 1988,” Cady said in an interview this morning. “We're quite disappointed. It's a rail darn shame that the City of Castlegar does not spray in their own city and now the C.P.R. can spray right through the middle of Castlegar.” He added that it is not fair that “some ogtsider can come in and make these decisions when they don’t have to live in the area.” The regional district and the City of Castlegar, were two of several groups which ‘msde submissions opposing the spraying at an environ- mental appeal board hearing in Nelson last month. Cady said the regional district was to meetetoday to see what further action it can take to stop the spraying. Mayor Audrey Moore said because the spraying has not yet started, council still has time to try to prevent the spraying from taking place in Castlegar. C.P. Rail officials were not avail- able to cothment on the appeal board decision. By CasNews Staff Six years after his death.
