CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, June 14, 1979 The best car rental deal in town Is “Budget 365-3300 rentacar Owned In Canada by Canadians A Budgot Syatem Licensea les Weisbrich Exhibiting at NEC NEC Release Watercolor landscapes by New Denver artist, Les Weis- brich, will be shown at the National Exhibition Centre from June 15 to June 30, The. artist will be present to discuss his work this Saturday, from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. After operating an ex- tremely successful graphic arts studio in Beverly Hills, Calif., for 22 years, Weisbrich de- cided, with the support of his family, to look for a way of life “that would allow him to make the commitment to his art that his work demands. Eight years ago, his’ wife Darlene and their family im- migrated to Canada. They established themselves on 51 acres just north of New Den- ver, where they built a hore, grew gardens, milked cows, and now continue to work’ toward a self-sustained exis- wtence. Weisbrich studied art at the prestigious Art Centre in Los Angeles, and at the Kahn Art Institute.

It happened last Thursday, but Gerry didn’t even see it. A member of the retiree golf club, Gerry played in the annual lead-zine classic at Birchbank, then sat down after- wards with Carl Loeblich, Steve Jankola and Rene Arch- ambault with a deck of cards and crib board, About halfway through the game, Gerry excused himself for a couple of minutes, and asked John Melvin to play the hand that had just been dealt. John found himself looking at the Jack of hearts and fives of spades, clubs and diamonds. The turnup produced the re- maining five for the once- ‘lifetime hand. What Gerry had to say “*‘about the matter was not recorded. color has been primarily con- sidered a sketch medium, Weis- brich uses it as a major mode of expression. He refuses to paint for a. select audience. The work he does is for anyone who can identify with the subjects and the moments of art itself. *...the more you can honé it, sharpen . it, and redefine it beyond the realm of technique, the better the art. I feel an obligation to paint the natural truths...with as much self expression and honesty as my art will allow.’ " HIGHEST HONORS went to these two pictures In a recent Photography Club cam-" petition at Kinnaird Junior Secondary School.

We can hear little hearts pounding all over Nelson and Castlegar at the news that the Circus is coming to town’ on June 27. Next to Christmas ang birthdays, the circus is probab- «ly responsible for more happy anticipation than anything clse. But the circus that is coming.to ‘Nelson is more than just lions,, tigers, elephants, trapeze, illu- sionists, acrobats, jugglers and all the other marvels of three rings.” It is the Nelson-Castlegar- Shrine Circus. This year, that means several of the Nelson-Castlegar © children who are crippled can continue getting assistance in Shrine Hospitals, of which there are 22, both orthopedic and burn centres at an annual cost of $89 million. It means that all 196,000 children helped by the Shrine can be sure of help always being there. A better way to raise money for-that help I find hard to imagine. Think for a moment ” of all the charities in this town and others that ask for direct donations. I won’t name them and I certainly wouldn't think of criticizing them. Each does a necessary job that wouldn't get done otherwise, but at times there seems to be so many that dipping in the pocket becomes a reflex action. It makes us often thankful for the wisdom of the people who first thought of such wonderful organizations as United Appeal which lumps many charities together and makes one painless bite per wage earner, The Shrine Circus is even more painless. It gives some- thing for what it gets. It gives top entertainment, thrills and much laughter, also the Shrine Circus is one of the best’ in ‘North America as it will put on a performance that won't soon be forgotten and whatever the Shriners get out of the deal it is" money well earned, ‘well de- served and to be well spent. It’ is a system that does us all a favor, the circus included. Most people would go to this ‘Big Three Ring’ anyway just for the fun -of it, but. knowing that a crippled” child somewhere will benefit should make it all the more enjoyable.

Miss Boolinoff travelled to Ottawa recently to take part in @ four-day program with 250 other ‘students from ‘across Canada. She has submitted the following report regarding her experiences in the nation's capital: By SHARON BOOLINOFF I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Castle- gar Rotary Club for giving me the opportunity to take part in the Adventure in Citizenship Program, held in Ottawa, May 14-17. This experience taught me 8 great deal about Canada: its people, its government, its culture and its association with, and contribution to, our world. Our adventure began on Parliament Hill in the Confed- eration Room in the west block of the Parliament Buildings. That’ room was huge and seemed more like a ballroom than anything else. But it had * been turned into a representa- ~Uon of the House of Commons, with the Opposition on the left of the head table and the government on the right. I sat on the government side, second row. We were welcomed by Dr. W.J. Troup, president of the Rotary Club of Ottawa and by Her Worship Marion ‘Dewar, Mayor of Ot- tawa. Unfortunately, as the House was not in session, workers were renovating both the House of Commons and the Senate Chamber.

In the evening we had a formal dinner at the Chateau Laurier, The menu was made up of: food from each of the provinces and territories, —* Thursday, we assembled in the C Room of the Fetanoess - Pre-School Teachers Mr, Lapierre, well-known TV personality and president of the: Ontario Commission of Inquiry into the education of the young. child, was the keynote speaker at the 10th annual conference of the British Columbia Pre-School Teachers’ Association, held at the Univer- sity of British Columbia May.25 and 26, ‘ Lapierre expressed grave concern about the future of children, because of the present Parliament Buildings, where the Hon. Judge Alice K, McKeown and the Hon. Judge Yvonne Kerr presented each of ‘us (260 students) with our Canadian Citizenship Certifi- tion Room. He explained the function of the House in all aspects of government affairs. Mr. Robert Fortier, Clerk ‘of the’ Senate, followed with a presentation dealing with the Senate in government affairs, This year the adventurers were able to tour the Depart- ment of External Affairs, which enabled us to learn about the department itself and about Canada's association with the world, After visiting External Affairs, it was only proper to visit one of the numerous embassies located throughout Ottawa. The group I was in received invitations from the Ambassador of Venezuela, re- questing our company for re- freshments. ‘ Tuesday afternoon saw us at the McArthur High School, where we attended an RCMP Band Concert. The band was - excellent, as the music ranged from country and western tunes to modern disco beats. The concert ended all too soon and we were back on city buses headed for the RCMP ‘N’ Division. There, we encountered a. rain shower, but the Mounted Arms Display was fantastic, involving fence-jumping and sword and arms displays. Dur- ing the time we spent together inside the division because of the rain, we shared many thoughts and ideas and learned .. that no matter where we were from, we were Canadians first, and that really was not so bad. In the evening, we visited the National Museum of Man. Here we viewed many exhibits, then attended a slide presenta- tion given by Dr. MacDonald, Senior Archaeologist. On Wednesday we met in the Odeon Theatre of the Ottawa University where two representatives from each group — one for decentraliza- tion and the other for centraliz- ation — whom we choose the day before, presented their views. The camera for the local TV station was there, also, to catch the action. The group for centraliz- ation had some good ideas, They believed education should be more uniform throughout the provinces, as at the moment. Newfoundland goes to Grade 11, the western provinces to Grade 12 and Ontario to Grade 18. Being uniform, students moving to new schools or people looking.for jobs would not be affected. They also felt that every- one should share in the natural wealth of our country. For example, at one time the Maritimes supported the rest of Canada, now it's Alberta's turn and perhaps it will be the Northwest Territories next. Primarily, they believe we are Canadians first, then we should think about the existence of our provinces. . Meanwhile, the decentral- ization team felt a strong would heighten y meeting in October. Two girls from the Region- al Recreation Commission were present and spoke of proposed trips for members during the summer, with dates, etc. to be given later.

The resources should be under provincial contro] — they should be the owners. They felt education should be provincial, so that the loca] element maintains inter- est.

After the heated debate, we toured the city under the guidance of the National Cap- ital Commission. We saw the National Arts Center, which has an opera as large as the one ol ge ar -Bt eral. The estate consists of 88 acres of land with a long, scenic drive up to the house with trees. on either side. When important dignitaries come to Ottawa, tree-planting ceremonies take place here. The grounds are extremely well kept and consist of carpets of lawn, many trees and flowers and the house, which seems to have a personal- ity ‘all its own, developed through the ages.
