CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, May 19, 1977 Seminar to Display Facets of Eckankar The upcoming Kootenay Regional Seminar May 21-22 will provide the general public with an opportunity to discover many facets of Eckankar. Eckankar, A Way of Life, is an alternative path for those who have: followed or investi- gated many other occult, re- ligious, and metaphysical paths, but who are still searching, According to Sri Darwin Gross, the Living ECK Master, “Eckankar is the science of total awareness, the path of spiritual endeavor that leads to the state of total consciousness and total responsibility which is the natural result of total freedom from all things. “All life is light and sound flowing out of the Godhead, that secret place of the most high, somewhere within one- self. Eckankar is a teaching which gives knowledge of both the light and sound, providing proof of the ultimate survival of man. The emphasis in Eckankar : is on the individual's own direct . experience as the most im- ‘portant facet of his unfold- < ment.” Seminar director Edward Sopp notes that in addition, those desiring to hear more on Eckankar will have the op- portunity to learn of its practi- eality in everyday living. The seminar will cover topics on music, art, children and the family, nutrition and dreams. Sri Darwin Gross Participants and guests will come from various B.C. points, Alberta and three neighboring states. The film, “Eckankar, A Way of Life,” will be shown and many books and tapes on this subject will be available. The public is cordially in- vited to attend the day-and-s- half-long seminar at L.V.

KINNAIRD JUNIOR "SECONDARY SCHOOL A club now expired in KJ because of the warm weather, is the fly-tying club. This club, started by Mr. Salekin, has been running for three ycars. This year, the group had about 80 members, who met regular- ly. Among them were Tim Stre- lief, Alfred. Semenoff, Bill Goetting, Dan Perepolkin,. Keary Martin and Kevin Ehman, with Alfred being the expert this year, Mr. Salekin decided to: form this club because people © who liked fishing had to pay about 50c for each fly which could only be used a couple of + times. The same type of fly, if you made it yourself, would cost about Gc, | Some people who paid their $2 to join the club, didn't learn anything, while. others were already experts when they came to KJ. Mr. Zanet had a fairly active ciub at Twin Rivers and students from this club will probably be the people who will form the nucleus of the KJ fly-tying club next year. Mr. Salekin. thanks the students’ council for supplying them with vices. and other materials, He'd also like to thank Monashee Sporting Gods for discounting all the purchases KJ made from them. Good luck in your fishing, fly-tyers!! . . April 22 was a busy day for the competitors in the Music Festival.

Coalition Fights . To Preserve Notre Dame U * Citizens from all walks of life in the Kootenays , have banded together to mount a broad-based campaign to fight for preservation of the region's university. ; ., A coalition group was formed last Thursday night at a special meeting at the Nelson ‘Labor Centre. Attending the meeting were representatives of business, labor, the clergy and various service clubs. Nelson Alderman John Neville was named chairman of the group which plans to con- duct'a multi-media campaign to encourage public support for the drive to prevent closing of Notre Dame University. The alderman also .will head a steering committee; represent- ative of the organizations in attendance, which, will lay de- tailed plans for the campaign. Other members of the committee are: Susan Talbot, a private citizen in Nelson; Pat McGauley, Crescent Valley, a member of Local 1705 of the Association of Commercial and Technical Employees in Trail; Allan Childs, Nelson, a member of the Faculty Association of Notre Dame University; and Donna Graychick, -Nelson, a member of the Nelson School Board. Other committee members are Terry Peterson, Nelson, president of the Notre Dame University Students’ Union; Duke Hysopp, Nelson, an executive member of the Bri- tish Columbia Federation of Labor; and Bill Sutherland, * Nelson, a member of the Nelson Chamber of Commerce Educa- tion Committee. One of the first duties of the steering committee was to select a name for the new organization—they chose “Save Our University Committee”. Some of the activities being planned are the circula- ‘tion of petitions, public meet- _ ings and the presentation of briefs to the provincial cabinet. Bolens Products For Better Lawns and Gardens.

Another first place was awarded to Corrie Campbell, who performed a flute solo. Second place was achieved by Nadine Gillis and Joy Eaton in the saxophone duet. A flute solo performed by Judy Zurek received third place in the Music Festival. Mr. Gerrand’s son, Michael, age five, placed second out of 21 Grade 1 students in piano, . Meanwhile, back at school, the talented: Pom Pom Girls have been hard at work at a brand, new routine for the Junior Lilac Parade in Spokane. ‘Since they are leading the KJSS Band, they must be letter perfect,. With Miss "Zak and Miss Hawkins coaching the prancing group they have an excellent chance. Oh my! I've been. babbling along without introducing the lovely girls— Marian Costa, Karen Grunerud, Leona Sorenson, Fiona Stew- art, Bernadette Wabisca, Sue Walton and Cathy Ward. Lots of luck in Spokane, dst With the help of Mr. Nelson, money-raising projects for the band's trip to Spokane and Port Coquitlam are well , under way. “Ice-cream, Tee- .- cream, get your ice-cream”, are the words often spoken in the hallways of ‘KJSS. With- the help of many students, Mr. Nelson has been working hard all year raising money from'the sale of ice-cream for the trip to Spokane. ° Finally, the goal of $850 has been reached! Grade 8 and 9 students are getting excited as thé time slowly rolls to May 14‘and the Junior Lilac Parade. Their song this year ‘is “Oye Coma Va". All the best in Spokane! Grade 9 students have been raising money also for their exchange concert with Port Coquitlam on June 2, 3and 4. Selling candy, organizing car washes, a pop. bottle drive and helping out at the arena ‘were ways our energetic. students have earned some of their much-needed money. The. school board ‘gener- ously gave Mr. Nelson $450 to get them started. Since then, much hard work has brought the total amount of ‘money raised to $1,074, just, short of their goal ‘of: $1,150. With a little help and some luck, they will probably reach it. Of course, all of the above could not have been organized and carried out .without the help of Mr. Nelson. We, the students would like to “give him a hand” for all he has done to make the band course en- joyable as well as a Lifetime: experience. ee Along with the budding of spring, there is a lot of “hot news” going around KJ. It's been known that R.M. has been walking by D.C.'s locker when- ever D.C. -is there, but D.C. - hasn't even noticed yet! Also, P.K. was pulled into the boys’ change room by K.K., TP., C.S., and D.M. P.K. got mad so she and B.L., B.A., S.T., L.Z., 8.B. and S.P: pulled D.M. and K.K. into the girls’ change- room. How's that for fighting back? The biggest news is, of course, that L.A, and T.G. are having a party to celebrate LK. and A.S.’s anniversary. They're also inviting K.F., C.L., LP., M.P., C.P. and G.E.
