it to absorb water and be sure to idd water very day so the tree doesn't dry out

Now that you're ready to set up the tree, where are you going to put it? It is advisable not to place is near any source of heat, such as a fireplace or heat vents, as the heat speeds the during process. Make sure you don't block any exists so you can always evacuate the house should an emergency occur

Decorating the tree can always be fun for everyone. If you use electric lights, it's best

to avoid the use of extension cords, since you may trip or step on them,

Do not leave your lights on when leaving the house or retir ing for the night. | would also recommend timers not be used with these lights, as they may come on when no one is home which could become a potential fire hazard.

Avoid the use of electric dec orations on metal or aluminum trees as they conduct electricity should a problem arise with the decoration

Use decorations that are non combustible or flame resistant Please, do not use candles on or near your tree. After all the gifts are opened you're usually left with a pile of wrapping paper and boxes

1 wouldn't advise burning this in your fireplace or woodstove as it burns very hot and could cause problems with your chim ney or flue pipe, not to mentiotr the environmental impact of inks and dyes

And if some of those toys arrived with ‘batteries not

included’, please do not remove the battery from your smoke alarm to try them out, It is far too easy to forget to replace it or you may use enough of the battery t6 make it ineffective in the smoke alarm, Those were just a few safety tips you may find helpful and I hope every one begins 1994 with good memories. All of us in the Castlegar Fire Department wish everyone in safe and Happy Holi the best throughout

WHERE IS THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS?

Submitted by: Pastor Rick Popoff, New Life Assembly

It's hard to believe but it's true, Christmas is just a few weeks away. If you are like most other people around you, now is about the time that reality sets in and you start to panic. You look at your calendér and realize that every day and night is full between now and then. Office parties, (two for double income families) school concerts, rehearsals, (for those involved in special activities) Christmas cards, Christmas trees, baking, shopping,

decorating, cleaning, entertaining, credit cards, shopping malls, check-out lines, Santa

us, these are the signs of Christmas. You wonder if you, will be able to make it through.

Stop, take a deep breath and take a close look at what Christmas really is

ISAIAH 9:6 reads, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince Of Peace.”

Where has the Christ of Christmas gone? We sometimes chose to abbreviate CHRISTMAS to Xmas, thus removing Him who's birth is the reason for our celebration. Our focus is no longer on the CHRIST who was born in Bethleham, but rather upon the stressfull activities leading up to and including December 25.

I heard it once said that if you take CHRIST out of the word CHRISTMAS all you are left with is a MAS (a mess).

I feel that this statement is also correct in describing our activities leading up to and including CHRISTMAS Without Him “CHRIST” everything seems to be in a mess.

Take time each day to focus upon Him who's birth is the

reason we celebrate Christmas. Allow Him through the

power of the Holy Spirit to give you a sense of peace in

your life.

and studying for her exams. Buying Dale's practice and

Beth Hickey of Castlegar was sworn in as a Notary Pub lic, on December 2 in the B.C. Supreme Court of British Columbia.

Hickey, who has been a Castlegar resident since 1988 has been an insurance agent since 1977 and operated the insurance division of Cooper Agencies in 1979.

She left to raise her family and she and her husband Doug, a teacher at SHSS have two children. Returning to work in 1988 she ran the insurance divi- sion of NRS in Castlegar and for the last two years has been working alongside Dale Bradley, also a Notary Public

P g her own offices in the Castleaird Plaza gives Beth the Opportunity to work with people and “to do everything I was interested in. Many people don't know that the Notary pro- fession is over 2,000 years old and that notaries are trained to offer professional legal services - real estate transfers, mort- gages, Wills, leases, powers of attorney and more. Even Christopher Columbus took a Notary with him on his voyages to the new world to prove his claim to land in the new world.”

Office hours are Monday to Friday 8:30 to 4:30 and Beth's secretary Lynn Rudashy, is also looking forward to working with their clients.

Beth Hickey, right, recently purchased the Notary Pub- lic practice of Dale Bradley, (left) and received the offi- cial seal. .
