There is a positive atmosphere and its lots of fun,” Newell states. Animals, images, and telling it like it is Animals fascinate me. Calm down ladies, I was NOT refer- ring to the human male species Although they sometimes totally baffle me too. I'm referring to the average household pet. Almost every house has one of some kind, even if it's just a beetle in a jar Take the “domesticated” cat for example. I have two of them, one of which has been bossing me around now for more than 10 years. He is indeed an amazing creature, his name is Rodney No, I did not bless him with such an original handle, some- one else beat me to it. I am ulti- mately an animal lover, but never had a desire to own a cat, they are such snobby individu- als, don't you think? Arrogance! That was his first revelation, and total selfishness. My dreams of “Here Rover” were trampled, nevertheless he was a cute little guy. And stupid! That assumption was my first mistake. Rodney quickly had the run of the house and set out his demands and expectations. He had many different “urges”’ and loved to fight. And boy, was he miserable. He'd attack a poor innocent neutered female feline, from behind, no less. Chicken? No, but he knew enough to take the path of least resistance. New Homes, Renovations, Decks, Roofs.

Yes, I've watched him fall off a stereo speaker on his head because he’s too lazy to put out his paws. And then have the nerve to look surprised. I used to think this was stupidity but I soon learned that Rodney is an expert at “pretending” When we go away we face the “cold shoulder” upon our retum, as if he could care less and when he feels enough “suffering time” has lapsed, he “allows” us to pet him again. He absolutely loves it outside but is too lazy to keep himself clean. There came a time when he had to stay in and while he was much cleaner, he was horrified to be captive indoors. And protest he did. The race would begin from the far end bedroom to the living room, about 90 klicks around the cor- ner to a skidding halt out onto the balcony. There was however, a couple of occasions whereupon the screen door was closed. The impact would bounce him back about halfway into the living = Fashion room. Lookout! He was really mad now, glaring at us as if we were actually at fault. And when we moved to a snooty area and our neighbours asked us if we would like to pay their vet bills a (Rodney, the killer) it looked like he'd be in for “life” this time. When we realized he was not “fit” to live with under these circumstance, we got him a “companion”. She arrived one day, a bundle of fluff, just eight weeks old, wasn't she so cute. Rodney however, had a much different viewpoint. We placed this new- comer on the floor in front of him and I don’t know if you've ever seen a cat “freak” but trust me, it isn’t a pretty sight! After I arranged two weeks holidays in order to save the newcomer's life, we got down to the business of adjustment. Kali, the kitten, was initially confined to the kitchen and Rodney was not permitted to stalk her. We of course, locked her safely in the bathroom every night. She held no fear of Rodney, she ran side- ways across the room, this wee ball of fluff, her intention to attack him and he was totally horrified. He just couldn't believe he was expected to put up with this and not even be allowed to kill her. Over the years they have learned to toler- ate each other and it’s hard to tell just who is the boss. My musings have brought me to the realization that animals, unlike humans, need project no false images, they tell it like it is — raw emotion. Yes, they have incredible personalities if you take the “trouble” to get to know them. I for one have learned so much about honesty, acceptance, commitment and unconditional love from my “pets” and there- fore I dedicate this one to them. Continued from 5B you to see him, you shouldn't have any concerns. But it is still a good idea to ask the person who set up the photo-shoot a few questions about the photogra- phers personality, quirks, and what type of work he or she has done in the past If your child gets a job in Van- couver, Edmonton, Calgary, Spokane, etc unless you have a relative in one of these centres you can stay with, living expens- es can become very expensive BMS Consulting Financial Counselling and Goal Setting At Carl's we have a good selection of gift ideas that are. easy to mail. The schedule can be very exhausting as well. Don't count on getting a lot of sleep or rest. You come to appreciate the quiet life you have at home. If your child is just getting started: going to casting calls; interviews, auditions, it might be better if he or she started some- where closer to home such as Vernon, Penticton or Kelowna. Even Spokane has a modeling agency. Then once your child has gotten some experience and is a little older, they can start thinking about going to bigger centres. Before this happens, they have to work hard, and save money (remember a portfolio can cost anywhere from $500 up), and perfect themselves in terms of their modeling. The most important thing a parent can do, and I stress this, is be supportive in their child's endeavors. I'm not saying to fork out money or time right away, but at least encourage them to follow a a Per eee rerrrerere Fit x Perea agetttte 8B r+ 8 z 38 8 2 g BRI RVs i mat REET FF "Your Friendly Pharmacy” ARL'S PLAZA DRUGS 365-7269 their dreams. I knew I wanted to be a model when I was 13, but my mother was adamant that I wait because I was far too young and far too impressionable (which I was). It was a a hard blow to take, but I was glad for it later on. I started modeling professionally when I was 16, and haven't looked back since. Don't discourage your child from modeling by saying such things as: "You're too short", or “You're overweight,” or "You'd never make it." These are hurtful things to say. If you think your child is too young, explain to them why you would prefer them to wait. If you don't have the time to help your child during the week in their modeling goals, perhaps try mak- ing time on the weekends or holi- days. There's a lot of work involved in building a modeling career, and it's work that involves both parents and the child. But if you feel your child has the potential and you're willing to take those first steps, then go for it! Just remember . . .watch out for wolves in sheep's clothing! in this weeks issue ¢ Woolco Wednesday, October 14, 1992 The Castlegar Sun Page 7B bn ¢ ws: o f current compilation of the most peculiar things people do, edited by Chuck Shepherd. Proof that true stories are weirder than made-up stories. -- Terry Dewayne Shutters, 28, admitted to police in February that he is the man who threw human feces on pedestrians from his station wagon in two drive-by incidents in Chattanooga, Tenn. Said a police detective, "(Shutters) said he was drinking beer and just thought about doing it. He rode around for about 15 minutes looking for somebody to throw it on." He said Shutters blamed his behavior on the fact that he once had feces thrown on him when he was young — Police tried to prevent the cere- monial opening in January of the reli- gious festival of St. Vincent near Manganeses de la Polvorosa, Spain, which calls for dropping a live goat from a church belfry. Even though the goat falls to a tarpaulin and walks away safely, animal rights activists had obtained an injunction calling for a $5,000 fine per goat dropped. In retaliation for the injunction, the 1,300 townspeople attacked police and the journalists who had descend- ed upon the festival. -- A man and woman living near Peshawar, Pakistan, were executed in June by the man's father according to custom, because they lived together without benefit of marriage. A state- ment released by the local village council read, "The couple was exe- cuted so that nobody dare indulge in such activities in the future.” — The Florida Board of Medicine suspended the practice of Dr Suzanne Peoples in June, declaring her delusional. The board found that Peoples believes all illness is caused by a microorganism that is treatable by vitamins and sessions with an “ion machine,” which looks like a hair dryer with a red light bulb on it THE WEIRDO-AMERICAN COMMUNITY A Belvidere, Tenn., man was jailed recently on charges that he harassed his estranged wife. Accord- ing to Winchester, Tenn., police, the man_held his wife at knife point in her kitchen and forced her to remove her blouse and pour ketchup and mustard over herself. LEAST COMPETENT PERSON Ron Vanname, 21, was sentenced to a week in jail in Fort Myers, Fla., in July after pleading no contest to making an obscene phone call. Van- name made the call to the local 911 number, all calls to which automati- cally show the caller's address. Squad cars surrounded him while he was still in the phone booth. THE DIMINISHING VALUE OF LIFE Thomas Hall, 57, was convict- ed of manslaughter in Nashville, Tenn., in April in the 1991 shooting death of his brother Howard. Accord- ing to the prosecutor, Thomas, who had just mopped the kitchen floor, became upset when Howard tracked in mud from the outside. Thomas yelled at Howard, and both men ran for their guns. oe ROBSON MECHANICAL .
