Easter Message

by Rev. Oscar Pauwels

Dear people of Cassiar,

No matter how mild the winter is, there is no
doubt for us in the Cassiar region that we will be .
snowed in. If it wasn’t for the Department of High-
ways or the graders and shovels in town we would be
snowed under. Even each individual householder
needs to keep in shape with regular snow shovelling.

It is a time of the year which requires effort,
imposed by the weather conditions. Still no one
denies that it is a healthy effort and a healthy
season. Snow can even be a source of enjoyment -
with cross country or alpine skiing, snowshoeing,
skidooing and tobogganing.

Even then, as soon as we notice signs of spring we
rejoice, we admire the sunshine, we enjoy the longer
days, we plan a day off, a weekend in the mountains
or at the lake. Without winter we would never enjoy
spring as much. Is that not a perfect setting for a
parable about Lent and Easter, about death and
resurrection, about life on earth and life in heaven?

Jesus the Savior revealed the mystery of death and
life in a striking way:

1) “I have come to the world as its light to keep
anyone who believes in me from remaining in the
dark”. John 12:46

2) “Unless the seed falls into the ground and dies
it remains just-a grain of wheat, but if it dies it pro-
duces much fruit.”. TH. 12:24

3) ‘‘There is no greater love than this: to lay down
one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if
you do what I command you. The command I give
you is this ‘that you love one another’. -TH 15

Cont:..WEIGHT CONTROL and QUITTING
SMOKING

The chief cause of weight gain is always based
on the consumption of more food (calories)
than the body requires for transportation and
maintenance. Several problems or plusses, (de-
pending on how you look at it) experienced by
a person who has stopped smoking include: eat-
ing more because food tastes great when taste
buds are not anesthetized by the heat and chem-
icals in the tobacco smoke. This improved sense
of taste and smell can turn a mediocre appetite
into a ravenous hunger for the first few weeks
of nonsmoking and although | recommend that
every quitter indulge in at least a one week food
orgy, it will be necessary to use some discretion
in what one eats as well as when one eats after
that one binge.

Fortunately the need to use large amounts of

sugar. and salt decreases when taste buds are
keen, this immediately eliminates the need for
some of the empty calorie foods that are most
apt to add pounds, i.e. candy, sugar in tea and
coffee, rich desserts and pastries, potato chips
and salted nuts and pretzels, etc... In place of
these items natural (and delicious) substitutes
can be celery and carrot sticks and other raw
vegetables and fruits. Oranges and unshelled
peanuts as well as other nuts are items that re-
quire handling i.e. peeling or shelling, and are
good nutrients. It is true that nuts have a fairly
high caloric value, but unlike shelled, roasted,
oil soaked and salted nuts, those requiring
wrestling out of the shell slow down the munch-
ing process and satisfy the exsmokers need to
keep their hands busy.
