The five-day festival, held in late May each year, is the pre- mier amateur arts event in the province. Participants are of all ages with the majority in the 17- 20 age range. The delegates pre- sent work in drama, dance, instrumental and vocal music, speech, film and video, painting and sculpture. “This is very exciting,” said Mayor Sandy Santori, of the announcement Thursday by Min- ister of Tourism and Culture Dar- lene Marzari. “The festival will add to the quality of life in the area, enabling us to bring in some much-needed culture and expose people to some things they might not otherwise get a chance to experience.” The festival will also be a ben- efit for the local economy and hospitality industry, Santori said. “It opens the door and gives people from outside a chance to judge for themselves what we OMATO SAUC LIBBY’'S BEANS & PORK, BEANS IN TOMATO P . y is also provided with a “legacy grant” of $70,000 to upgrade its arts facilities.

Student employment officer foresees challenging season TRAIL TIMES The Canada Employment Centre for Students (CEC-S) in Trail officially opened its doors Monday for the upcoming sum- mer months. Despite economic conditions, which may pose a challenge this summer, the new student place- ment officer, Sara Deane, remains optimistic that the busi- Ness community will respond to the students’ need for summer employment. "With Cominco not hiring and the possibility of a Celgar strike, the economic conditions are not conducive to a lot of people hiring,” said Deane, who is originally from Rossland. However, she said the office ‘successfully placed over 300 jobs for summer employment last year and she’ hopes to exceed that number this year. "The summer months can often be the busiest time of the year for employers,” Deane said. One of the main purposes of the CEC-S is to assist students, both secondary and post-sec- ondary, in finding summer employment, as well as helping employers find a student who is Suitable for their needs. Deane encourages all employers in the area to take a close look at their employment requirements, and to try to include students in their plans. At present, the majority of students registering at the Cana- da Employment Centre for Stu- dents are returning from college or university and are seeking summer employment to match their skills from school. Deane said 60 registrations have already been taken, with some registering previous to Mon- day’s opening with the regular Canada Employment Centre. "Generally, by the end of May, or in early June, the sec- ondary students have also regis- tered,” Deane said, noting she would be presenting information sessions at area schools at the end of the month. “They are very willing to learn new skills and are available on short Wednesday, May 20, 1992 The Castlegar Sun Page 5A Kinnaird Middle School band plays to a winning beat Kinnaird Middle School marching band drum majorettes Kerri Redekop (I) and Amber Kenneway show off the school's new banner which was used in the Spokane Jr. Lilac Parade on May 9.

Last year, two such registries were offered and the interest shown by local residents has a third session where the public will learn about the registry and how they may join. Last April, 101 people attended an information meeting which explained the details of the reg- istry program, the first step yequired in registering. In Decem- ber close to 60 more individuals registered. Many more people are coming forward now indicating their interest and the Red Cross is responding by inviting all active or potential blood donors between the ages of 17 and 59 to the third information meeting.

Of the 50 or so bands present, there was one that stood out from the rest—the band from Kinnaird Middle School (formerly Kin- naird Junior Secondary ). Kinnaird's band was the only one from Castlegar's School Dis- trict to take part in the Lilac Parade and the 175 band students and 20 pom-pom girls worked hard enough at practising throughout the year to win them- May is fitness month selves first place.

There is no right in eating wrong SUBMITTED vending machine that winds up Most of us try to eat a rea- sonably good supper — but breakfast and lunch? Now that's another matter. We either skip one or both of them, or we rely on restaurants, vending machines, diet programs, or the snackfood companies to tell us what to eat. Does it make any difference anyways? YES. Eat- ing the wrong lunch can make you sick and tired and fat! If you grab a lunch that hold lots of fat, salt, sugar, chemi- cals and caffeine (lie a hotdog, fries, and a coke), you have just contributed to six of the ten leading causes of death in North America. Six of the top ten causes of death are diet related, and they are: heart disease, cancer (espe- cially breads and colon cancer), stroke, diabetes, chronic liver disease, and athersoscherosis. Just to get a feel for the num- bers that we're talking about 58,000 Americans died in Viet- nam, 407,000 in WWII and 979,000 in one year, 1986 from heart disease! If you grab a lunch from the being ch ach bar, and some orange crush, you have eaten nothing but “empty foods” Empty foods give us taste, salt, sugar, fat, calories - but no vitamins or minerals or fiber. Not only that, but when sugar intake is large, you get a blood sugar let down about 20 or 30 minutes later — you feel tires and lousy. If you eat these kinds of empty foods often, it's easy to see why they might make you fat. But skipping meals can be just as bad. Skipping means sets you up for a major hunger attack later on. It also deprives you of regular energy intake, so your body adjust by lowering its energy consumption. Now it’s easier to gain weight! So take five minutes each evening to prepare a healthy lunch, and get up five minutes earlier and eat a healthy break- fast. Reach for whole grain prod- ucts (brown breads, brown rice, whole grain cereals); fruits and vegetables and their juices; peanut butter, lean meats, low fat cheeses, skim or 1% milk Products; and water- yes water. These guidelines hold true for suppers, too, of course. Remember there's no such thing as a free lunch, and being and sick and tired and fat is a heavy price to pay for not pay- ing attention. Take an active part in deciding what you are going to eat and it will be well worth yqur effort.
