pline after union and BC Rail execu- tives had a seemingly positive meeting Friday afternoon.

The lunchroom “study session” involved only members of the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 170, but hit BC Rail’s three major centres in Prince George, Squamish and North Vancouver.

Union leaders charged Friday the incident was indicative of the poor labour-management atmosphere at BC Rail, and laid the blame on the doorstep of the Crown corporation.

“They [BC Rail] refused for the employee to have union representation during his disciplinary hearing, and it’s his right,” said Peter Gagnon, Squamish shop steward for UA Local 170. “Everybody went out concurrently,

at about 9:30 this morning,” Lance Yearley, business agent for UA 170, said Friday.

“Once one shop heard, it was almost instantaneous.”

Yearley said the explanation given by BC Rail management was no union

W ’ representative was on shift, but they insisted the matter had to be heard that day. “What it really boils down to is BC Rail’s petty conduct and how they treat their workers.”

The job action caught the attention of Kevin Mahoney, assistant vice-president of human resource for BC Rail.

He and Bob Sharpe, the chairman of the Council of Trade Unions on BC Rail, arranged the Friday meeting.

“As a show of good faith we went back to work,” Gagnon said.

m Possible breach at reservoir Unauthorized entry results in

testing, cleaning BY DARREN GALLACHER

The Chief

An attempted breach of the Alice Lake water reservoir Monday prompted the District of Squamish to take the storage tank out of service temporarily.

Residents are unlikely to notice a difference, however.

“We thought we would take the precaution of taking the reservoir off-line and drain- ing i t and cleaning it, because it was due for a cleaning anyway,” Len Clarkson, the environmental health officer at Coast Garibaldi Health (CGH),

indication anything was dumped in.”

Before the reservoir was drained samples were taken and sent to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control for testing.

Depending on how quickly the reservoir refills, it could be back in service tomorrow.

Squamish Fire Rescue aided the district crew, using their crane ladder to lift various pieces of equipment and supplies to the top of the reservoir.

Monday’s attempt to reach the top of the reservoir, located south of Squamish Valley Road opposite the entrance to the municipal landfill, did not appear to be planned.

Logs from the surrounding woods were used in an attempt to get around a barri-

The district has since mod. ified the access, cutting awa) the bottom few feet of the ladder and moving the barri- er up. A ladder will have tc be brought in to access the reservoir.

“It supplies water when there is excess demand that is not supplied by the water intakes,” Kim Anema, acting district admini strator, said Wednesday.

“Demands are not considered to be excessive at this time of year.”

The reservoir holds one million litres of water. In comparison, the district can draw up to 11.3 million litres from the Stawamus River and 9.5 million litres from

Greens name candidate BY DARREN GALLAGHER

The Chief

B.C.’s Green Party officially entered the West Vancouver-Garibaldi race Thursday with a benefit party at the Boot Pub in Whistler for candidate Peter Tatroff.

The 49-year-old political science graduate is a former Whistler resident now living on Bowen Island, employed as a stone mason and event organizer/promoter.

A 20-,ear veteran of the New Democratic Party, he joined the green movement in 1996 to support Paul Watson’s campaign for mayor of Vancouver.

“The main reason is to have some change based on critical thinking ... not basing our information on corporate, banking and finan- cia1 interests,” Tatroff said Frida; of running for the Green Party. “I wanted to find a party that was into looking at problems through critical thinking and not political.”

A lack of long-term thinking is behi,nd the province’s hurting economy, he said.

In working with the NDP, he found they were not addressing the real problems, environmental, social or economical.

Among the initiatives the Green Party would pursue include more community-based forestry over large corporate harvesting, end- ing campaign contributions by corporations and unions, propoflional representation and pollution- based taxes.

“The other thing we would like to see is the provinchl government to at least be environ- mentally conscious,” Tatroff said, citing Britannia Mine and its owners’ history of non-

Peter Tatroff compliance.

As for Squamish, the Green Party would offer more local control over forest resources, initiatives to encourage value-added processing and training for displaced forest workers to handle eco-tourism, which pays far better than the average tourism job, Tatroff said.

The Liberals will form government, Tatroff predicted, but the province . needs another voice in the legislative chamber.

“If we get 20 per cent of the vote it would be wonderful,” he said.

In the 1996 election, West Vancouver- Garibaldi Green Party candidate Peggy Stortz earned 2.47 per cent of the vote, slightly higher than the 1.99 per cent earned province- wide.

Information in Crown’s hands inDec. 1 fatal accident case

BY IAN JACQUES The Chief

Squamish RCMP is recom- nending charges against a jquamish man in his 20s in :onnection to a fatal accident m Hwy. 99 last December. The charges, including riminal negligence causing leath and injuries, have been orwarded to the regional kown counsel’s office for pproval. The charges stem from a ive-vehicle accident on Hwy. 9 Dec. 1, 2000 that claimed le life of 24-year-old Leila Lezvani of North Vancouver. Involved in the accident rere a white Ford Mustang llegedly driven by the sus- ect, a Greyhound passenger us, a blue Jeep Grand lherokee, a blue Nissan athfinder and a black Subaru butback that was driven by ezvani.

Police issued a number of drinking and driving suspen- sions and made an arrest after a number of vehicles were pulled over last week.

In all five 24-hour suspen- sions were handed out to drivers between March 28 and April 1.

In four of the cases, drivers on Hwy. 99 reported the inci- dents to police.

Const. Camille Habel said all of the cases were routine checks based upon the information obtained from the motoring public.

In another case, a 32-year- old Surrey man is facing charges of impaired driving and will be in Squamish provincial court May 8.

According to police, the man was seen at the 7-1 1 and Video Update on Cleveland Avenue asking for food.

Police went over to investigate and followed the suspect once he got back into his car and pulled him over just past the Stawamus Chief parking lot near Hwy. 99.

Police are investigating a verbal dispute that ended in a

fight outside the Cliffside Pub on March 29.

Police received a 91 1 call just after 2:30 a.m. from a male complainant who said he had been punched in the face.

Police made their way to the Cliffside to question the man, but he had already left.

He later turned up at the detachment where police took his statement.

“The man has no idea who the other guy that punched him is,” Habel said. “We’re still trying to get all the information and the stories sorted out.”

Police are on the lookout for a frozen food suspect after a freezer was broken into at a downtown restaurant.

On April 1, the owner of the Dragon Terrace restaurant left his place for about an hour and when he returned he found his freezer unlocked.

The freezer was sitting outside at the back of the restaurant and the suspects made off with about $300 worth of frozen food.

Police have no suspects.

2 of the Business Park, which the district still primarily owns.

It envisioned a square commercial zone between Carney’s Waste Systems and the front of the Business Park, commercial uses along the remaining frontage and high tech uses the width of the park between Aspen Road and the undeveloped Pioneer Road. Light industrial uses would occupy the rest of the park.

Any commercial uses would be subject to a restric- tive covenant acknowledging existing and future industrial uses in the park.

Councillors decided to modify that plan, and the request for proposals on the eight hectares, by making Discovery Way and its planned northern extension the western boundary for

, space in the park if zoning changes were approved.

“It would also draw infra- structure deeper into Phase 2,” said Coun. Wendy Magee.

sion of Discovery Way would connect with Pioneer Road to give the park more than one western access, and allow for small lots to be created.

“We would have to change the whole offer if we did this now,” advised Mick Gottardi, director of community devel- opmen t .

Council approved the change at their meeting April 3.

The offer originally went out March 20, with responses due April 30.

Coke contract for district BY DAKREN GALLAGHER

The Chief

Briefs from the April 3 regular meeting of council:

After 27 years, Howe Sound Vending Ltd. will no longer provide cold drink vending machines at Brennan Park Recreation Centrc and Municipal Hall.

Instead, council approved a five-year contract with Coca- Cola Bottling Ltd. that will pay a 30 per cent commission to the district on each product sold.

Based on last year’s sales, thc Coke contract will pay almost $5,000 a year more than the current agreement with Howc Sound Vending.

A separate contract will be sought for hot beverage and snack machines.

H The District of Squamish

2001 budget took another hit with the announcement provincial gr‘mts will be down by over $14,000 from last ycar. Traffic fine sharing went from $56,100 to $46,000, which the province attributed to fewer tickets being written due to better driving.

Total small community protection grants remained at $23.5 million, but Squamish’s

share dropped from $97,300 to $93,000.

“We have experienced a reduction in revenue-shari ng grants from the province over the last number of years,” said district manager of financial services Kim Anema.

This adds ’to the $862,000 deficit the district is already facing, forcing significant tax increases or service cuts.

The $22,090 bill for a Feb. 8 tanker truck crash on Hwy. 99 has councillors a little hot under the collar. Squamish Fire Rescue already invoiced

A .

Scamp Industries, the truck- ing company, and ICBC to recover the costs, but there are no guarantees of payment.

The Provincial Emergency Program would cover the expense, but only after the district has exhausted all possible avenues. “This is a provincial highway,” said Coun. Raj Kahlon. “They should take care of their property.”

Despite postponing first and second readings, amendments to the Official Community Plan to accommodate the private university project will be complete by May 28, council promised.

With the information submitted three days late, the bylaws were a late addition to the agenda. Council decided

Corinne Lonsdale

to put them off to a special meeting today to give councillors time to review the material.

“By handling it next week at a special meeting of council, we will not miss the dates,” said Mayor Corinne Lonsdale.

111 Last fall’s initiative to

encourage co-operat ion between tourism operators, forest companies and recre- ational users continues in Squamish this week with the release of a questionnaire, available at the Squamish Chamber of Commerce.

Participants in the process are looking for public input on the challenges and opportunities of the two industries working together.

New map for SLRD? Regional

strici looking changes to all

IY PATRICIA WHEELER Whistler Question

2 makeup of the Imish-Lillooet Regional ict could be very differ- 1 the future. ectors of the Squamish- oet Regional District 1 will attend a workshop 26 and 27 in Pemberton

iscuss regional gover- I J .

the table for discussion be several options for -nance of the SLRD, as: ialgamation of Electoral

Areas A, B, and Lillooet with the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD);

the northern SLRD form- ing a new regional district with parts of the TNRD;

amalgamation of Areas A and B into the District of Li llooe t ;

altered boundaries for Areas C/D;

boundary expansions for Pemberton, Whistler and Squamish;

inclusion of Lions Bay within the SLRD.

At the March board meeting, directors asked administrator Rick Beauchamp to prepare a report outlining the status of the governance review for the SLRD and to establish an action plan with timelines for completion.

During 2000, a comprehen-

sive survey was sent out to all regional districts in the province, asking for feedback on the type of governance models used, including committee structure, reporting relationships between board and staff, roles and responsi- bilities, corporate communi- cation policy, policy development, and decision making.

The upcoming workshop will allow directors to discuss the various options for the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District.

A meeting of the board’s governance committee will be held prior to the workshop. “‘It will resolve a lot of the

issues and frustrations that have been at the regional district level,” Paul Lalli, governance committee chairman and SLRD director for

Squamish, said Wednesday. “At the end of the day, we

want to make sure that everyone that participates in the regional district is getting value for our dollar.”

The main issues for the workshop will be financial accountability, the corporate structure of the SLRD, and the boundary issue.

Lalli said the workshop should resolve all but the boundary issue, but it would provide direction for future action.

He noted the province has indicated it would not approve of any new regional districts, but might consider the amalgamation of Areas A, B and Lillooet with the TNRD.

It was her first haircut in 16 years. “The community really has gone

all out for this,” Hayes said, just prior to her haircut.

“When you see this much community spirit it really shows what Squamish is all about.”

The more unique shavers of the day had to be the tandem of Jeff Dawson from Community Futures and Shabbir Dhalla from the Best Western Sea to Sky Hotel as the pair shaved their legs.

Dhalla even went so far as to offer anyone the chance to help in the shaving if they contributed a toonie to the cause.

Dhalla pulled in $1,500 and Dawson just over $350.

“Helping out the kids is the bottom line,” Dawson said. “This shows the community coming together and really is positive energy that has been lacking.”

The Squamish RCMP sent 12 of their members into the barber chairs, including S/Sgt. Cliff Doherty and Sgt. Gary Brine, raising more than $1,000, while sisters Michele and Jodi Christie raised more .than $1,600 before getting

for one man. Ben Richardson, who works traf-

fic control on Hwy. 99 for Cayoosh Contracting, has decided to start collecting pledges for next year, shaving his hair at next year’s event.

“It’s a great cause and I believe in starting early,” Richardson said.

“It’s all for the kids and I don’t think there is any better cause then helping out the kids.”

The Balding got started even ear- lier than Saturday at Valleycliffe Elementary School, where Principal John Flack shaved his head after students raised more than $300. The school added to the total as 13 students also took up the challenge, bringing the VES total to just over $2,500.

B.J. Doyle from Mountain FM and his brother David also took part raising more than $1,500 and shaved their heads in honour of their mom Julie.

“She was diagnosed with cancer last year, so our motivation was for her,” Doyle said.

“It’s just not us though. As you can see Squamish has really come through and we’ve done a lot of good here today.”

Jodie Christie, left, and her sister Michele raised more than $1,600 for the cause. The Squamish Chief carriers braided their hair first to be saved for cancer wigs.

The story: Jamie is a young man who is

Jamie has some risk factors in his life that include:

premature birth and illness during childhood;

family stress; low income; Dad was drinking after

being laid off from a forestry job, and for extra income started growing marijuana at home for sale;

parents divorced when Jamie was four years old.

Despite a number of risk factors, Jamie’s future development and opportunities depend on a number of vari- 1 1

The outcome in community A is that Jamie went with his friends, got arrested, and found himself facing many difficult years ahead.

In community B Jamie had a stronger relationship with his mother, he had a group of friends who were involved in positive activities, and an adult mentor to whom he could talk.

With the support of his community, parents, school and other peers, he was able to make a decision not to go with the group of peers who were vandalizing property.

With continued support, Jamie developed into a health and productive young adult.

EDITORIAL

Not out of om global pariah to eco-hero in one day,” the head-

line in Thursday’s Vancouver Sun screams. Would that I? it were so simple. The signing of a landmark accord between environmental

groups, the provincial government, logging companies and First Nations to preserve a huge chunk of the central coast - dubbed the Great Bear Rainforest - is good news. It means that environmental groups like Greenpeace are turning off their formidable publicity machine, which for months has been slagging B.C. in the international markets with a boycott campaign.

That relief comes at a cost. The protection of 600,000 hectares of rainforest and deferral of logging on another 537,000 hectares means a reduction of 15 per cent in the annual timber harvest on the coast and the possibility of up to 500 job losses, according to the IWA.

That sombre statistic seems to have been lost in the crow- ing of victory by triumphant environmentalists, a provincial government desperate for good news and forest companies weary of bad publicity abroad.

But is it really over so easily? Will the sudden switch-off of the publicity campaign reverse the damage caused by the eco-slander campaign perpetrated by groups like Greenpeace for so long?

It’s highly unlikely - unless environmental groups go to the same efforts to praise B.C. and its forestry companies for the good work they’ve done here as they have previous- ly gone to in attacking them.

Sadly, we don’t think they’ll be around tordo that. By the time the ink is dry, environmental groups will have moved on to the next target, the next “last frontier” in the ongoing battle.

After all, campaigning means money - and without the Great Bear Mealticket to feed off of, environmental groups like Greenpeace will waste little time to find the next target.

And that could be us. With “the largest temperate rainforest in the world” now

protected and the seeds of controversy well sown here by groups like the Western Canada Wilderness Committee and the Friends of the Elaho, this may well be the next “last frontier” to protect.

With B.C.’s reputation still besmirched internationally after a long boycott, it would be easy to turn the publicity machine from the Great Bear Rainforest to the “Stoltmann Wilderness” for the next round. With the eyes of the world on the Elaho, the annual protest season and all its dramas could take on new life - with devastating impacts on this region’s working forests.

Forestry companies who are breathing a sigh of relief at the end of months of boycott and years of negotiations had better be ready for the next round.

We’re far from out of the woods yet.

Hats off to you! air loss isn’t necessarily something to be ashamed of. In fact, in Squamish it’s a sign of community spirit H and pride.

Today there are more than 80 newly-minted chrome domes in our town, thanks to the Balding for Dollars fund-raiser, which raised an amazing $45,OOO-plus in Squamish plus more in Pemberton to push us over the $50,OOO mark.

Congratulations and thanks to the organizers of this worth- while event - as well as the participants. We salute your sacrifices - from braids to full heads of hair to legs - and hope for some sunny weather to keep you warm.

Then again, the feeling of having helped B.C. children as much as you did is cause fora nice, warm feeling too.

Survivor III: The Sea to Sky Highway (wouldn’t that be a neat concept?)

decided to embark on the Stanley Burroughs .Master Cleanser diet - otherwise famously known as the Lemonade Diet - in antici- pation of our approaching nup- tials. Sport that I am, I said “If it’s good enough for her, it’s good enough for me.”

For 10 days, you eat nothing and drink only water, herbal tea and a concoction of lemon juice, pure maple syrup and cayenne pepper. Oh, and every two days you chug a litre of lukewarm salt water first thing in the morning and make a run for the bathroom. The goal is not weight loss but rather cleansing the body of toxins. Or, as I’ve cheerfully referred to it, “Liquid Drano for the innards.”

- for hours at a time, that is. Breakfast is a rarity no matter how early I get up, and lunch sometimes goes flying by. But miss dinner? Not me.

So I embarked on the diet, partly to see what would happen and

My darling fianc6e Laura

partly to see just how long I could last. I was betting by day 3 I’d be sneaking snacks, by day 4 I’d be scarfing cheeseburgers at work and by day 6 I’d end up getting caught out by Laura.

As it turned out, we made it most of the way through day 7 - but going to a staff barbecue with a full table of goodies was fatal to the willpower.

the diet wasn’t hunger - that crazy lemonade concoction (which tastes an awful lot like Lipton Brisk iced tea) killed the hunger pangs and kept the energy up nicely. The hardest part, in fact, was avoiding the stares at the grocery store when you buy three dozen lemons and two bot- tles of maple syrup for the fourth time in a week.

People at work got over the strangeness of the diet fairly quickly - at least, they stopped asking me about it. Only Justin, our graphic designer, tried to tease me by asking if he could pick up a cheeseburger or a roast beef sub while he was out.

We have to come off the diet slowly, though: pureed vegetable soup never tasted as good as it did on Sunday. And since I’ve just cleansed my body of years of impurities and toxins, I shouldn’t be in such a hurry to re-plug it.

Surprisingly, the hardest part of

Central coast deal raises auestionk:;::: I . --.V”

Editor; The provincial government’s

move to scale down logging in B.C.’s mid-coast region begs several questions:

Is the move to reduce timber harvesting really a democratic ‘decision or a short-sighted politi- cally-motivated ploy about as popular as the present provincial government?

How many people directly affected by this proposal (citi- . zens, forest workers, and con- - but government debt and human . port their livelihood? tractors) were consulted and sup- ported this proposal?

If it were put to a referendum, would a majority of informed citizens in this province support it? Would citizens support the accord if they realized that it will either require higher taxes to make up for lost revenue, or else cause a further deterioration in our health care, schooling, and social programs? Is it possible that we might be able to pru- dently harvest some of these areas and actually lose nothing

less abundant, never mind extinct, if parts of these are harvested? Is it possib the “spirit” bear, like th cousins, will flourish if ti harvesting produces more ing land?

A few days ago I spoke to a gentleman who has sponsored the Test of Metal every year since its inception. He has never balked at sponsorship in the past. This year I had to convince him that Squamish is a good town in which to do business. It seems he wants to develop a piece of property that does not fit the current Official Community Plan. The district has told him they want $225,000 to even review the OCP. Is this a town that is trying to attract development? I think not. Why is Mountain Building Centres paying more than $80,000 in property taxes each year, but cannot get the road plowed in front of the store for three days in the last snow storm? Why is Tim Horton’s paying more per square foot in taxes than Tim Horton’s in downtown Toronto? Why is it cheaper per square foot of taxes by almost one-half to open a plant in Port Kellis industrial park than in Squamish? What has the District of Squamish done to attract business to town? vshy do towns in Alberta have one economic development officer for every 6,000 residents when Squamish, popula- tion‘15,000, cannot even keep one?

province when we say that we are open for business. I believe that the people of Squamish do want this town to grow and prosper and that they want change. This is a town with no vision. One foot in the past on the dock, one foot in the future on the boat, and the boat is leaving the dock. Which way will we go?

What is the view of Squamish the media has captured? When the S tawamus Chief was introduced as a provincial park, what image did the cameras capture? It was one of logging trucks circling and blow- ing horns protesting its creation. How about the Cat Lake fights or the Bob McIntosh murder? How about Nicole Parton’s Vancouver Sun article calling Squamish “a stinky little town?’ How about the loggers beating up protesters in the Elaho Valley? How about the blockades and counter-blockades, one of which was organized by the Squamish Chamber of Commerce’? How about the mayor shutting the door in the face of TV cameras at an open public meeting? How about Ted Prior being threatened on TV? How about local business people being on TV saying the business climate in this town sucks?

The old Squamish is gone. We are like a business with no business plan, grasping at whatever comes along. Let’s take advantage of the strengths we have, the recreatiodtourism opportunities, the logging, the business park, the waterfront both industrial and tourism, the deep sea port, high speed Internet access, the natural beauty of the area. The course of Squamish is up to the mayor and council. Are we going to start moving ahead now or do we start laying the platform-,for Squamish’s ‘future after the next municipal election in 18 months?

Robert Fine, the original ED0 for the Sea to Sky comdor, said that “Squamish will succeed in spite of itself,“ Let’s prove him wrong and succeed because of ourselves.

Dances and hot dog sales raise funds for a variety of community groups and projects.

This spring, they’ll be raising funds to shoot a movie in the Sea to Sky comdor - not with any big-name stars i n i t , but rather, familiar faces.

L o c ; ~ director Adriane Polo of Sea to Sky Entertainment is going back behind the cam- era to shoot a made-for-TV movie, Treasure Mountain, starting at the end of June.

Like her first feature film, Wild Wind, released in 1999, Treasure Mountain will be shot in Squamish and feature plenty of local faces and scenery.

Unlike Wild Wind, the entire movie will be shot dig- itally, saving crew costs and allowing opportunities for distribution on the Internet.

The casting call will go out May 1 in Lions Bay, Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton, and she expects 80 per cent of her cast and crew to be locals.

“This is going to be a communi ty affair,” said Polo.

“In the past couple of years,

Become month our focus is membership - and tremendous bene-

fits that await you as a member of the West Coast Railway Heritage Park.

Local area membership is literally taking off as Squamish area families discover the many activities and things available for them at the Heritage Park. Already this year, over 50 new families have joined, and approx- imately 20 a month are dis- covering the park at this point. Our total memberships now stand at over 400 - with

we’ve seen some amazing tal- ent develop in this town and I want to showcase it.”

As for the scenery, Squamish is a natural, Polo said.

“There’s no better place to set the story.”

Treasure Mountain is a family movie about two girls in a small coastal town who stum- ble on a search for a pirate’s lost treasure.

Polo pitched the idea at the Banff Internatioiial Television Festival a year and a half ago. The Festival CEO, Pat Ferns, liked the idea so much he sent it to an international festival in Cannes, France, MIP-TV. The concept, presented in French with translation by locals Liz Hamilton and Marie-Claire Rak, won the 10th annual Bourse aux Coproduc tions.

“They keep asking me ‘When are you going to come up with the movie?’,” Polo said.

Commun-itv

Easter greetings front Sqitarirish S ministers:

know people who never watch the news because I they find i t so depressing.

And can you blame them? There always seems to be so

much bad news: the stock market doing poorly, the weak Canadian dollar, the softwood lumber deal with United States, more violence in the Middle East, labour unrest in our province, violence in Vancouver, people suffering and facing some horrible deci- sions. Is this all there is to life?

Easter is about answering this very question. For those who are not Christians, Easter could easily be misunderstood as an occasion to gather chocolate eggs left by a generous rabbit.

This is far from the truth. It is actually about the deep-

est and darkest part of human- ity. For it centers on the death of an itinerant preacher. He was not violent nor did he promote violence but many people felt challenged by his words of compassion and healing and God’s love. And for this he was nailed to a cross.

Now if this was the end of the story, it would hardly be a sign of hope to the world.

But three days later God, the Creator and sustainer of our world, brought this man Jesus back to life. As a statement about what is true about life and death, God did not allow God’s son to be destroyed by evil. Evil was not going to have the last say.

What has this got to do with

U us? Everything.

If there is anything our world needs, it is a sign of hope that there is a better way to life than what we see on the six o’clock news.

Jesus’ resurrection is this sign. It is a sign of the power of coming into a relationship with God. A sign that life can come from death, hope from despair, love from hate, joy from sadness.

So Easter is not just about chocolate but something much deeper. Something that truly touches who we,are and who we want to be. Easter is about hope for our lives and for our world.

So enjoy the eggs but let your mind wander to their true meaning of hope.

St, John’s Anglican Church

ur family hosts police officers from Japan. My husband went to church to 0 teach a seminar on Old Testament CUI-

ture. Daisuke asked why he was teaching about

such an old topic. I explained that learning about Old Testament

culture makes it easier to understand how Jesus Christ fulfilled all of the Old Testament laws.

We talked about God being holy and unable to have anyone that is sinful in His presence and how everyone sins.

When asked how Jesus fulfilled the law, I spoke in terms a police officer could understand.

“Daisuke, if you were to stand before a judge, rightly convicted to an eternity in prison with no chance for parole, and someone came forward and said, ‘I will serve Daisuke’s sentence

for him,’ what would you do?’

son’s offer. Daisuke told me he would accept this per-

I told him that Jesus has done just that. He was a sinless man who was beaten, nailed

to a cross and died as a punishment for our sins.

All we have to do is believe that Christ is the Son of God and ask Him to forgive us for the sins we’ve committed and He will.

John 14:6: “No one comes to the Father (Heaven) except through me.”

Romans 6:23: “For the wages (penalty) of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Forgiveness, justification (just as if I’d never sinned) and eternal life in heaven is the whole meaning of our Easter celebration.

Squamish Baptist Church

society today, i t we’ve always got to what to call some-

body. We give someone a label

and then value them accordingly; we treat upwardly - mobile individuals differently from criminals; we think of Joe Canadian differently from one who is disabled; we view doctors differently from jani- tors.

We feel that some people are worth more than others, and we’re sure God thinks exactly the same thing.

We’re convinced God pays attention to our idea of who is

~ ~

more valuable than another and treats us accordingly to who is most qualified or deserving of his love and grace.

But God doesn’t play favourites; no one has an advantage. He accepts everyone who surrenders to him and puts their lives in his hands. It doesn’t matter how good or bad you are - there’s nothing you can do to make God love you more than he already does, and there’s nothing you can do to make God love you less than he already does.

This is what Easter is all

about. Jesus Christ -God in

human form --came down to our level and provided the way for all people to have a real relationship with God. Through Jesus’ death on the cross about 2000 years ago, God showed how much he loves and values every human being, in spite of what our society says.

Every human being has the opportunity to enjoy a life of confidence, significance and peace.. . forever. All you need to do is accept his offer.. .

Squamish Community Church

ach moment of our lives, God offers us a new beginning. Just when we think or E feel that the stone of doubt, fear, mean-

ingless or powerlessness is rolled across our lives, God’s grace, like the breath of spring bursts forth, calling us: “Why do you look for the living among the dead?”

Abuse, hatred, addiction, racism, broken relationships, unforgiven hurts, pollution, war are just a few of the many forms that death takes. Yet, as we stand weeping and lament- ing, we are commissioned anew to meet God in the world of God’s loving.

Jesus gave us the words of life: love your enemies, love yourselves, forgive one another, feed my people, harm not the helpless, love creation, love God.

These are all empty words if we do not accept God’s invitation to find the Risen Christ in the midst of today’s joy, today’s pain, today’s quest. We will celebrate Easter well if we seek Christ where people laugh, cry, seek meaning.

Easter’s resurrection celebrates a never end- ing story. Death is not the end. Resurrection brings new life and hope. And this hope and promise we need in our lives, our families, and our community. It took the cross for us to understand resurrection and still God awaits our response in action and faith.

The world awaits. those who need us await. Attend the church of your choice this Easter

and begin your journey of seeking Christ among the living with whom we live, work, play, trade; those with whom we seek justice, healing and truth. At Squamish United Church we invite you to celebrate Holy Week: Maundy Thursday, 6:30 p.m.; Way of the Cross, Friday 11 a.m. (call church for location); Good Friday Service, 7:30 p.m.; Easter Sunrise, 7:30 a.m. (call church for location) followed by Easter Breakfast at church; Easter Service 10 a.m.

The discoveries I’ve found have changed my thinking and life forever.

If what I have discovered is true (and I’m convinced it is), what you and I do with the person and work of Jesus Christ will impact our life and being for eternity. Yes, eternity.

If Jesus Christ is who He said He is (as the evidence suggests), did what the eye witnesses said He did and promised what the inerrant scripture record He promised, then Easter takes on a whole new relevance to you and me.
