Castlegar to celebrate Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest is coming to Castlegar.

Friday night, Castlegar’s first an- nual Oktoberfest will be celebrated at the Community Complex. There'll be a live band playing lots of good Ger- man oompah-pah music as well as contemporary dance music. The band has been practising its German songs and will also be able to lead the crowd in the great German beer drinking songs. And no Oktoberfest will be complete without souvenir mugs. The Castlegar Festivals Society has arr- anged for the first 500 people through the door before 9 p.m. to receive a complimentary mug. After that the remaining mugs will be sold for $6 each.

To go with the festive music and great drink, German sausages on a bun with sauerkraut and mustard will be for sale. And, because the Castlegar Chamber of Commerce is involved, there aré some great door prizes including a compact disc player Provided by Canada Safeway and a trip for two to Vancouver courtesy of Time Air.

This is the first time that Castlegar has hosted an Oktoberfest and the festivals society and the chamber are Jooking forward to a good turnout. All the money raised goes to the Castlegar Festivals Society to be used for Sunfest and to the chamber to be used for its projects. And both groups have announced that designated

video industry is loading rental shelves with horror titles while of- fering bargain prices on some classic spine-tinglers.

Here’s what’s new this season.

If you like fright videos slickly made and oozing with tension, try William Friedkin’s The Guardian (MCA-Universal). It’s an eerie story in which an ancient evil makes nature itself the villain.

An old tree, once worshipped by Druids, demands the sacrifice of a human baby — and a mysterious English nanny, played by Jenny Seagrove, is charged with providing the child.

Seagrove is outstanding — both alluring and menacing at the same time.

“A WONDERFUL COMEDY...”

has oth Id powers.

Tales From the Darkside: The Movie (Paramount) and Tales From the Crypt (HBO Video) both feature three 30-minute stories, and the em- phasis on both cassettes is on frights and fun. The best choice is Darkside because it contains the stomach- churning Cat From Hell based on the Stephen King story.

In that film, David Johansen stars as a hitman hired by an old man (William Hickey) to kill an evil feline. But despite his furious efforts, this is one cat that keeps coming back.

Also included in the Darkside video is Lot 249, a modern, but tame, adap- tation of a Conan Doyle story about

other in Cutting Cards.

HBO Video releases another trilogy, All New Tales From the Cryp- t, this month.

Other 1990 horror releases to con- sider:

Paperhouse (Vestron) is chilling, haunting and intelligent. It’s an eerie fantasy in which a sick, bedridden girl finds reality and her recurring night- mare inextricably linked through her drawing of a spooky house.

Nightbreed (Media) is bloodbath, pitching trigger-happy redneck cops against the living dead in a Canadian cemetery. The pace is frantic, the Monsters grotesque and the violence graphic. Can a horror fan ask for more?

Zombie flick Dead Pit (Nova) is stylish, even if the story about a mad brain surgeon performing ghastly ex-

periments on patients is the pits. Cc. -mad

a mummy ( i that is) and an erotic thriller, Lover's Vow.

In Dead Right, the opening tale on the Crypt Video, Demi Moore plays a sexy -strip-bar hostess who can’t believe her good luck when the words of.a fortune-teller come true. Black humor abounds in the story from the comic book series of the ’40s and "50s.

Hickey plays an ‘old man who goes to great lengths to look young in a bid to win a woman’s heart in The Swit- ch, a story that’s more morality play than horror, while two card players; go to ridiculous extremes to top eac!

(Cineplex Odeon-MCA) makes up for a shaky script with generous amounts of sex and gore. Actress Lydie Denier spends much time disrobing for sexual trysts with a surgeon, Jan Rubes, his elderly father and his ran- dy son. Open-skull surgery in the basement provides the gore.

Wes Craven’s Shocker (MCA) of- fers a splendid new bad guy, diabolical mass murderer Horace Pinker, but is surprisingly short of jolts.

Bargain chills:

Home Support holds open house

By CasNews Staff

For about 250 elderly and disabled people in the Castlegar area, the care provided by the staff of the Castlegar Home Support Service means they can live at home rather than in long-term care facilities or other

institdtions.

And the Home Support Service staff want to make the Castlegar community more aware of what they’ ve been doing in the area since 1974 during national Home Support Week, Oct. 14-20, said Home

Support

An open house will be held from 9 a.m. te4p. m. Oct. 19 at the Home Support office at 1464 Columbia

Ave.

The 55 to 60 home support workers in the area

provide personal care and management services to anyone who cannot do the simple tasks of everyday living for themselves, Nichvolodoff said.

Some home support workers have training that enables them to provide personal care such as bathing and feeding while others shop for their clients or do the

laundry, she said.

But home support workers also encourage

independence, Nichvolodoff said. **We only do what they can’t do,””

rather than moving into care facilities.

And if provincial statistics are an indication of trends in the Castlegar area, the Home Support Service

will be even busier in the years to come.

In the next 20 years, the number of people in B.C. who are 65 or older will increase by 57 per cent while the number of people 85 or older will increase by 142 per cent, according to Ministry of Health data.

Selkirk College plans fora 25th Anniversary Anthology

Selkirk College celebrates its 25th anniversary beginning in January 1991 with observances continuing throughout the year. One of the an- niversary projects planned by the 25th anniversary committee is the release of a Selkirk College Anthology that will portray the personalities, events and occasions that have made Selkirk

College what it is for the last 25 years.

““We want the anthology to be a serious, funny, reflective and nostalgic kind of a window we may use to see Selkirk College over its 25- year history,”’ says Craig Andrews, who is chairing the college’s 25th an- niversary committee.

The committee is looking for writ-

ten accounts, of from one to nine pages, of. college characters, staff, changes, the neW; the old, great classes, awful classes, disasters, miracles, life before computers, college trivia, sports, cafeteria, par- ties, visitors and guests, things you miss and those you don’t, Andrews said in a news release.

Selkirk Weavers meet

The regular monthly meeting of the Selkirk Weavers and Spinners Guild was held Sept. 19 in the guild’s new home at the Doukhobor Museum.

President Alex Ready welcomed everybody and thanked those who had participated in the guild’s sum- mer activities at the museum. The handwoven curtains have been hung and all agreed that they looked lovely.

Show and tell produced many beautiful articles among which was the shawl which gained the Mountain Valley Weavers first place at the recent Rock Creek Sheep to Shawl competition.

The final set of samples for the Canadian Guild are finished and will be sent off shortly. There are five cur- tain panels left and these are to be donated to the Doukhobor Historical Society for the office windows. During the summer, some members met at the home of Darlene McDowell for a dyeing workshop. In spite of heavy rain, a good time was had ex- perimenting with several dyepots. Currently, in the small gallery at the National Exhibition Centre, a showing of members’ weavings is on display.

Future workshops were discussed and planning for these is continuing. A team.of weavers and spinners travelled to the Salmon Arm Fall Fair where they participated in a sheep to shawl contest and came away with fir- st prize.

Ready and Ingeborg Thor-Larsen were asked to judge the weaving and spinning -entries this year and were impressed by the improved quality of the workmanship.

The annual sale will be on Nov. 30 from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Com- munity Complex. There will be an impromptu fashion show at intervals during the afternoon.
