@ President Michelle
Hudema returns to
Castlegar after stay
with Japanese families

“It was a once in a lifetime
experience and I'd definitely
go again,” are the words
Castlegar 4-H Club Presi-
dent Michelle Hudema used
to describe her exchange trip
to Japan this summer.

The Castlegar 4-H Club
members met at the home of
Carol Baker on Aug. 23 for a
‘Welcome Home, Michelle’

party.

Two 4-H food members —
Caitlin Spilker and Carol
Baker — planned, decorat-
ed, cooked and hosted the
party which also signified
the completion of their Unit
1 4-H Foods Project.

Following the meal,
Hudema provided authentic
paper for the girls to try their
hand at the Japanese art of

origami.

She also brought along
her comical alarm clock
which tells you to “Wake Up
etc.” in the Japanese lan-
guage.

Hudema dressed food
leader Linda Baker up in the

Japanese kimono and
showed the girls her two
photo albums of her trip and
a home video.

The 4-H members found
the whole event very educa-
tional and enjoyable.

Hudema was in Japan for
a month where she was host-
ed by the Imanishi family at
Kasumi, Japan and the Eto
family at Chiba, Japan.

Hudema was also chosen
to attend the Idaho confer-
ence because of her fine
standing in the 4-H Regional
Public Speaking contest held
in Cranbrook earlier this

year.

The 4-H members now
have some penpal from oth-
er clubs in the province and
they will be looking for more
new members when the club
year begins in January.

On Sept. 20th, 4-H mem-
bers did some fundraising in

the form of a garage sale and
pony rides at the Ryson rid-
ing ring at the end of 14th
Avenue. oe

This Saturday, the 4-H
achievement will be held at
Ryson’s also.

Awards Night is sched-
uled for Oct. 24th at the
Scout Hall.

The 4-H members meet
every second Thursday at
Kinnaird Middle School at 7

p.m.

The next meeting will be
held Thursday. Interested
youths and their parents are
welcome to attend.

Local men take a Trek for Life

@ Castlegar cyclists
ride for lung disease

Castlegar residents were
among 204 cyclists who ped-
aled 200 kilometres last week-
end to help fight lung disease
in the British Columbia Lung
Association’s Eighth Annual
Bicycle Trek for Life and
Breath.

The two Castlegar trekkers
are Leon Arishenkoff and Kei-
th Shelefontiuk. So far, their
efforts contributed over
$130,000 for lung disease re-
search, health education and
community programs. And it’s
not over — more donations are
expected to come in, and
British Columbia Lung Asso-
ciation hopes these bring the

final total to the 1992 goal of
$160,000.

Joined by trekkers from all
over the province, the Castle-
gar group cycled the two-day
route that began and ended in
Fort Langley, and passed

through Lynden, Sumas,
Linbdell Beach and Cultus
Lake the first day and Cultus
Lake, Abbotsford and Bradner
the second.

“The cyclists showed enor-
mous dedication and enthusi-
asm for raising money for the
association, with each trekker
raising an average of $637. We
are proud of their efforts, and
hope the event increased
awareness of the importance
of exerciser to good lung
health,” said BCLA president
John Borthwick.

Each trekker was required

to raise a minimum of $350 in
donations before the ride.
Incentive awards were of-
fered to encourage trekkers to

donated products and services
