This is where the hard work takes place!” Kingsmill stated that he always enjoys meeting the many talented people who participate in his workshops. “There are alot of strong characters in a small community; conse- quently it is a pleasure to be among them. I do alot of donor walls,” says Kingsmill. “This is a way of recog- nizing those people who donate to local hospitals.” Watching Kingsmill work it was obvious that Cassiar was very. fortunate to have his expertise for this workshop. A man who exhibited a sensitive nature and. a genuine enjoyment for his craft; he created an atmosphere that was pleasurable to share. Kingsmill says that whenever he is creating; he is happiest. As he talked, Bob Kingsmill’s hands had been busy creating a clay wall mural that will hang in the Arts and Cultural Center. 267,441 = 267,581 5.995 139,417 oe ed COST OF OPERATIONS Earnings Before Administration, Depreciation & Interest 125,686 177,963 EXPENSES General & administrative 152,678 Depreciation 6,732 Interest expense 665 160.075 EXCESS OF REVENUE OVER EXPENSES (34,389) 21,176 MEMBERS’ SURPLUS Beginning of Year 30,296 9,120 MEMBERS’ DEFICIT, (SURPLUS) End of Year (4,093) 30,296 STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION | For the Year Ended December 31, 1987 CASH PROVIDED FROM (Used For) OPERATING ACTIVITIES (Deficiency) excess of revenue over expense (34,389) 21,176 Add (deduct): Items not affecting cash - Depreciation 6,732 12,436 Deferred gain on sale of snack bar equipment (2,531) Loss on disposal of fixed assets 28 Sat (27,629) 31,081 Decrease (increase) in non-cash working capital items 18,477 (8,446) (9,152) 22,635 INVESTING ACTIVITIES Fixed assets (3,287) (487) Proceeds on sale of fixed assets__100 = 3,187 487) (INCREASE) DECREASE IN BANK ADVANCES (12,339) 22,148 The month of February has taken our members — down the Yellow Brick Road and on the way to THE WIZARD OF OZ!

We have’ had support from Cassiar Mining Co., and the C.C.C. in order to make this dream become a reality. JERS so much! Did you know... - The original story of the Wizard of Oz was written in 1900 by Frank Baum. - Frank Baum first told the story of Dorothy and her friends to a group of children who then asked, “Where did they see the Wizard?” Frank looked over to his filing cabinet in the corner of the room. He saw A-N on the top drawer, and O-Z on the bottom drawer. Thus, OZ was created! - The first movie of this story was a one reel film made in 1910. ; - Frank Baum died before he was able to see the Hollywood movie version of The Wizard Of Oz, which was to become a favorite of all. The Ptarmigan Players will be very excited to share with you our production of THE WIZARD OF OZ at the Theatre on April 21, 22, 23, 1988. Watch out for ticket sales beginning March 15th!!

As I dragged my feet through the mud and slush I suddenly had an overwhelming desire to have my father beside me. He has been dead for six years. It is funny how that pain never quite seems to go away. Its like missing a good friend. Life at that moment seemed such a wilderness, but then wilderness is part of the Christian j journey. This was the first weekend in Lent and the ap- pointed readings the next day were about Jesus going _ into the wilderness for 40 days of fasting and spiritual searching. As Lent deepens, we follow our Lord further + Our Lad : | Lourdes Mission | Fr. hoon i Leverge SCHEDULE Saturday Mass 7:00 p.m. Sunday Mass 11:00 a.m. Dear Volunteer, The Terry Fox Run is over for the seventh year and thanks to your support we are optimistic that nearly 4 million dollars will be realized for cancer research. Our family; Rolly and I, Fred, Judith and Darrell, will never be able to thank you enough for your support and committment to Terry’s dream. We continue to believe that everyone will receive the reward we’ve all been working toward, when a cure for cancer is found. Terry said, “that if he died of cancer, some good would come of it”. This we experience on Run day and thereafter when those with cancer receive help thanks to the advancements made through cancer re- search. The Run results to date include nearly 200,000 who took part at over 2,000 Run sites in Canada and around the world. What a tremendous show of support. We appreciate all that you have done for the Run and hope that you will be with us again in 1988. Sincerely, Betty Fox Honourary Chariman into troubled times. antilw we. are with him in’ che Garden of Gethsemane ‘on’ the night of his arrest. We then travel with him through his arrest, trial and death. There is somehow no darker moment in the Christian life than to be faced with the. seeming death of God on a rough wood- en. cross, in.a time long ago. To face the knowledge of that apparent defeat of God is a sobering experience. But the defeat of Good Friday always ends in the victory of Easter Sunday when we realize that death indeed holds no dominion over us, that our God is stronger than all the evil, pain, hopelessness and suffering that this world can throw at us. Wilderness is ; part of human life. Pain and suffer- ing come with this world. But, the Christian has faith that ultimately we will triumph over all of that. Ultimately it is life that wins out over death, that resurrection is not just a single event that occured to the Son of God, but something that happens constantly in this world. For many of us this is a time of rebuilding shat- tered dreams and shaken lives. We have glimpsed once again the fragility of human life. As we put back the pieces we may begin to realize the power of life, how strong and vital the will to grow in this life actually is. We will discover new reasons for living, new things to be thankful for and we will discover hidden strengths which we never knew we had. This is the miracle of Easter. New life is constantly coming into being as the old passes away. May each of us have a meaningful, indeed joyful NON | DENOMINATIONAL Easter.
