In this chapter the Apostle insists on the unity of the Church of Christ, as the field which God cultivates, the temple he is building, and compared with this unity, the rivalry of particular teachers is insignificant and contemptible.
3:1 And I, Brethren, could not speak to you as spiritual, but as carnal. As infants in Christ,
The first three verses belong properly to the last chapter, and explain why St Paul has insisted so much on the distinction between the spiritual and animal man. To you, Corinthians, I would not speak as spiritual. You were animal, and a degree worse: for this implies limitation of intellectual power; you were carnal, which implies also some fault of the will and affection. You were like children in Christ, unable to digest the solid food of higher spiritual instruction.
3:2 I give you milk to drink, not food: for you were not yet able, neither now are you able: for you are still carnal.
3:3 For when there is among you zeal and contention; are you not carnal, and walk according to man?
Milk to drink. Suitable to those who could taken nothing more solid and substantial; and yet containing in itself the principle of nourishment, on which the body gradually grows in strength and advances towards its full development. I gave you as much as you could receive. I could not give you more, not that I was not capable of giving it, but because you were not capable of receiving it.
Neither now are you able. A sudden and effective blow. You are no better than infants even now. There is among you zeal and contention-the Greek text and the Syriac version add, and dissension.
As long as you are divided into parties, full of party spirit, zeal for party, which divides you, not zeal for God, which would unite you, and childish rivalries between the followers of different teachers, are you not guided and influenced less by the love of God than by human and carnal affections? Zeal of party, or envy, produces contention, and contention leads to division or dissension.
3:4 For when one says: I indeed am of Paul; and another: I Apollo; are you not men? What then is Apollo? and what is Paul?
3:5 Ministers of him in whom you have believed; and as God has given to each.
Are you not men? Guided by mere human reason, influenced by merely human affection and preference, carnal, animal, imperfect, infants?
What is Apollo? Compared with God, the great Teacher, the human instrument is nothing. They are ministers of Him in whom you have believed (vs. 5). The Greek text and the Syriac read: the ministers through whom you believed, whose external ministry God made use of to preach to you the word, through which faith was given you. As God gave to each the ministry he exercised, the power to fulfill it, the success that attended it, and from Him all three proceed. The teacher is the minister, not the Lord, the channel, not the fountain. The fount of wisdom is the Word on high.
3:6 I planted, Apollo watered: but God gave the increase.
I planted, Apollo watered. I first, as God's minister, an Apostle, by the will of God, planted the faith of Christ in your city. Apollo, coming after me, watered the seed sown with richer and fuller supply of Christian doctrine. But God gave the increase, for it was he that supplied to you the grace of faith.
3:7 Therefore neither who plants is anything, nor who waters: but he who gives the increase, God.
The planter and the waterer are alike nothing. God is the author of the grace of life, and of the increase of that grace. They are nothing in or of themselves; they have nothing to teach but what God has given them; they are not the authors of the grace of conversion, or of sanctification and the further increase of that grace by faith, hope, charity.
God is the real cultivator of his field, though He uses the agency of mortal men, et nos colimus Deum, et Deus colit nos, says St Augustine.
3:8 And he who plants, and he who waters, are one, And each shall receive his own reward according to his labor.
He who plants, and he who waters, are one. In themselves they are nothing, and in so far as they are anything they are alike, merely ministers of him who gives the increase. And if one excels another in labor or in merit, that does not concern you, for God will give to each his reward. According to his labor. Not according to his success, which is not in his power, His labor, solicitude, prayer, are in his power, and these God will reward.
3:9 For we are God's helpers: you are God's agriculture, God's building.
3:10 According to the grace of God, which is given to me, as a wise architect I laid the foundation: and another builds upon it. But let each look how he builds upon it.
We are God's helpers. we are one, or alike, because we all co-operate with God, who directs our labors. In MarK 16:20 we are told that the Lord worked with the Apostles. Here we are told that the Apostles worked with God. Although compared with God, the Apostles and Apostolic men are nothing, yet compared with us, and in what should be our estimate of them, they are worthy of the highest honor and reverence. For their office is nothing less that to do-operate with the Creator of the world in the task of bringing the rational soul back to its principle and origin, the conversion of the souls of men to God. Saint Dionysius, quoted by Estius, and Cornelius a Lapide.
You are God's building. St Paul here introduces another metaphor. You, the Church of the Corinthians, are a temple reared by God. I laid the foundation of this temple (vs. 10) as a skilled architect; but he adds, I did so, according to the grace of God, the great architect-in-chief, of whom I am only the instrument. Apollo, and others, have built upon this foundation. Let each look how. There was at Corinth a redundancy of eloquent talkers, rather given to display of their own powers, to whom, and to their hearers, the Apostle here administers a necessary caution. There is no reason to think these last words are intended to apply to Apollo.
3:11 For other foundation can no one lay, beside that which is laid, which is Christ Jesus.
Other foundation can no one lay. He has just said he laid the foundation, and his metaphor might be misunderstood, as if he meant himself. Christ is the foundation of foundations, like a rock, St Thomas says. The Apostles are a foundation in a secondary sense (Eph 2:20).
3:12 Now, if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble:
The Apostle is still speaking of Christian teachers, as in 1 Cor 3:10. He doesn't not refer to heretical teachers, who destroy God's temple, and will be condemned in 1 Cor 3:17; but who teach true doctrine, and build upon the true foundation. Gold, silver, precious stones, things rare, incorruptible, and valuable, signify doctrine solid, pure, lucid, derived from Holy Scripture, or the principles of the faith, or the mysteries of the Church. Wood, hay, stubble, things worthless and easily consumed, signify doctrine in itself good, or else it would be destroy instead of edifying, but valueless, curious, pompous, or fantastic, drawn from secular philosophy and learning, which may win applause, but cannot help to save souls.
3:13 Every man's work shall be manifest. For the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire. And the fire shall try every man's work, of what sort it is.
The day of the Lord shall declare it. This life is our day, says St Anselm and St Thomas, in which we do our own will, even when it is against the will of God. The last day will be the day of the Lord, when he will do his will, and men, by justice, will either be rewarded or condemned.
It shall be revealed in fire. "Fire will go before Him" (Ps 94:3). the fire that will consume the world, the minister of divine justice, will go before the Judge, and the works of each will not only be made manifest, but tried and proved. St Paul was under the belief that the day of judgment would come in the lifetime of many then living, and this may help to explain the present allusion to it. That fire will prove the just, but leave them harmless and free from pain. See Dan 3:92. Those who are good and faithful, but imperfect by venial sin, it will purge by suffering. The evil it will torment in hell for ever. It is this fire to which the Apostle here alludes, in the opinion of Cornelius a Lapide, who examines the question at some length. The Latin Fathers, in the Florentine Council, understood the purgatorial fire, which tries the souls of the just after death. but they are, in the opinion of Cornelius, one and the same; and on the cessation of purgatory, at the end of the world, the same fire will try the just of the generation still existing. there is a moral application of these two verses, distinct from their literal meaning, for which, see the Corollary of Piety below.
3:14 If the work of any shall remain, which he has built, he shall receive a reward.
3:15 If the work of any shall be burnt, he shall suffer loss; but himself shall be saved; yet as by fire.
The workman whose work, built of solid materials, on the Foundation, shall stand the fire, shall be reputed a good worker, and receive his reward from the Supreme Architect; if his work of worthless hay or stubble, is consumed in the flames, he must bear its loss, but he shall save his soul, like one escaping from a burning house. He has not yet spoken of heretical teachers, who destroy the work of God, and ruin his edifice.
3:16 Know you not that you are the temple of god, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
3:17 And if any shall have violated the temple of god, God shall destroy him. for the temple of God is holy, which is you.
You, Corinthians, are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you by faith, hope, charity: as the Ark of the Covenant dwelt in the tabernacle in the desert, and in the temple of Solomon. god ruins and destroys the violators of his temple, as Athalia, who profaned the temple (2 Kings 24:6-7), Baltasar, who applied the sacred vessels to common use (Dan 5:3). But if God thus overthrew the profaners of his material temple, much more will he destroy those who violate his spiritual Temple, which is you, by false doctrine which leads you away from the Apostolic communion.
3:18 Let no one deceive himself; if anyone among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
3:19 For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written: I will take the wise in their craft.
3:20 And again: the Lord know the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
It is evident that the instructors of the Corinthian Christians, against whom this rather severe admonition is levelled, must have assumed a great deal on the score of their rhetorical skill and familiarity with the intricacies of Grecian philosophy: so much so that there was ground of apprehension of their relapsing into actual heresy, or of suspicion that they were inclined to it. The wisdom of the world is in God's sight no better than folly: its wild conjectures and groundless theories must seem to him infinitely contemptible and absurd, since he knows all things. It is written: see Job 5:13, Psalm 93:11.
3:21 Let no one therefore glory in men.
3:22 For all things are yours, whether Paul, or Apollo, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or to come: for all are yours:
1 Cor 3:23 And you are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
Let none of you, therefore, boast or glory in the teacher you follow. All are yours, at your disposal, for your salvation; Paul, Peter, Apollo, all Christian teachers are sent for your instruction and edification. The world, and all contained in it, is for your use, temporal and eternal. Life is yours, to prepare for eternity; death is the penance of your sins, and the entrance to immortality; in the present, you have God's grace, in the future the hope of glory. All good things, of nature, of grace, of glory, are yours: the world exists for the sake of God's chosen ones. You belong to Christ, who has purchased you at the price of his blood. Christ is God's son in his Divine nature, God's servant in his humanity. Glory, therefore, not in man, but in Christ, the source of all grace, in God, the giver of all good.
Corallary of Piety
Every human soul in whom Christ dwells by faith, is God's building. God is its Architect: His fellow-workers are Apostles, Bishops, Priests. The foundation is the faith of Jesus Christ: but man's will is the workman who builds upon the foundation. What will he build? Gold, silver, precious stones; works of charity, penance, prayer, for himself and others, for the Church of God and for the holy souls in suffering; chastity: the ascetic perfection of the spiritual life. There are things which shall stand the fire of the last day; fitting adornment and decoration for the temple whose inhabitant is the Spirit of God. Wood, hay, stubble: earthly riches, influence, power, popularity, fame, fine houses, costly dresses, spectacles and amusements, races, balls, the trailing on the fringe of regal splendor: classic literature, pagan philosophy, reading and knowledge applied and applicable to no good and holy purpose, nor tending to the glory of God and the advancement of his faith; mere amusement to kill time and occupy the mind; sordid luxury, rough and vulgar play, thoughtless ribaldry and idle talk. How shall these things help the soul in her hour of trouble; how shall such a building stand the fire of God's justice? How can such things as these enter God's eternal kingdom? What can such a builder expect but at the best to save his soul by fire, the purgatorial fire of God's justice?
At worst, let him not ruin the temple of God, the dwelling-place of God's Spirit. Whoever lays waste God's temple, him shall God lay waste. For his temple is you, and in your heart the glorious presence given you in Baptism still dwells, for your worship and adoration, not for your forgetfulness, neglect, or contempt.

About Tom Banwell
I have no formal art training, and am largely self-taught. As a child I was fascinated with helmets and other hats, and I collected them. My love affair with leather began in 1972 when I got a job at Lake Tahoe making belts, purses and sandals. Four years later I started a business designing and making men's Western leather hats which sold all over the United States. After selling that business I dabbled in woodcarving for a number of years which led eventually to learning how to cast in resin.
My business than became casting custom resin trophies and figurines, which I did for many years, and much of that work consisted of imitating other materials: bronze, marble, wood, etc. In 2008 I discovered leather maskmaking and that has been my passion—and my business—ever since.

SUU-BNS: First Graduates/
In 1900 the first class of the Branch Normal School had completed the necessary course work required for graduation. The first graduating class consisted of six graduates, each of whom received scholarships to proceed to the University of Utah to complete the fourth year of the normal course work. As per requirement of the scholarship, each of the six students agreed to teach for at least three years upon completion of their studies at the university.
It is impossible to grasp the educational impact of the Branch Normal School upon the entire region as you study the lives and service rendered by each of the graduates. However it is possible to see the BNS left an indelible mark upon the region as its first graduates went on to serve in public education. The graduates helped to realize and validate in a remarkably short time the vision of the founders. The first six graduates were Emma Gardner (Abbott), Joseph T. Wilkinson, Alice Redd (Rich), Ella Berry (Leigh), Julius Sylvester Dalley, and Amelia Dalley (Green).
Emma Gardner was one of 13 children of Royal Joseph and Chloe Louisa Snow Gardner of Pine Valley. She completed her elementary education at Pine Valley and Central schools then attended the BNS for her secondary training. Emma fulfilled her scholarship contract by teaching for 25 years in Mesquite, Nevada. She became principal of the school and served in numerous civic capacities. Emma married David Arthur Abbott of Mesquite on September 16, 1909 in the St. George LDS Temple.
Joseph T. Wilkinson Jr., was the fourth of five children born to Joseph T. Wilkinson and Elizabeth Emily Wells of Leeds. Joseph began his education at the local elementary school in Leeds, but when he was nine his family moved to Cedar City where he completed elementary school. He worked with his father and brothers publishing the Iron County Record. When the BNS opened in 1897 Joseph was one of the first students. After graduation from the University of Utah, Joseph fulfilled his scholarship contract teaching at schools in Hurricane, Rockville, Springdale and Moccasin and Cane Beds, Arizona. His normal schooling framed a teaching career that extended over many years.
Alice Redd (Rich) was the 13th child of Lemuel Hardison Redd and Keziah Jane Butler of New Harmony. After her graduation she taught for a year at Pioche, Nevada, then on to Paris, Idaho to teach at the Fielding Academy. It was there that she met and married fellow teacher Abel Sargent Rich. They settled in Brigham City, Utah and three of their seven children became teachers.
Ella Berry (Leigh) was the seventh of eight children born to William Shanks Berry and Rebecca Rocena Beck of Kanarraville. Ella attended the Parowan Stake Academy and entered with the first class. After her graduation from the University of Utah she taught just three years in the Iron County School District before marrying Harry Leigh. Harry was a young businessman and through the years his business prospered as did their family of nine children.
Julius Sylvester Dalley and his twin sister were the eleventh and twelfth children born to James and Johanna Bollette Bertelsen of Summit. Julius loved to learn and attended school through the fifth grade. Because there was no advanced school work available he attended this highest grade three consecutive years. He then attended the Parowan Stake Academy for a year before in the fall of 1897 he entered as part of the first class of the BNS. After his graduation Julius fulfilled his scholarship contract by teaching for a year in the basement of the tabernacle in Parowan. He then spent his life teaching all over southern Utah and Arizona. He taught in Summit, Monticello, Utah and Moccasin, Arizona and finished his career in Kanab, Utah. He was a strong civic leader, involved in education his entire life.
Amelia Dalley (Green) was a half-sister to Julius. She was born to James and Petrine Berleson Dalley. She and her twin sister Minnie were the ninth and tenth kids of fourteen children. Amelia was educated in the elementary schools in Iron County and enrolled at the BNS in the fall of 1897 at age 20 to complete her secondary schooling. Amelia fulfilled her scholarship contract by teaching for a year in a one-room school teaching 1-8th grades in Summit. She then accepted a position teaching 5th grade in Cedar City's elementary school. She married George Bernard Green in 1907.
This group of six friends moved to Salt Lake City together for their obligatory year at the University of Utah. They rented a small house and all lived together with Petrine Bertlesen Dalley acting as their chaperone and house-mother. The number of lives these six graduates either directly or indirectly impacted is astronomical. And just imagine - the same school that graduated these six students over 115 years ago graduated 1,643 students in 2015. It's difficult to comprehend just how much these six graduates influenced the future of not only SUU, but the entire region.

As a medium, comics has a lot of largely unused potential. One underdeveloped ability is the taking of things that may be fairly dry in prose form and using the illustrated form to make them exciting. Science would be one example, and Jim Ottaviani has created a cottage industry of comics about just that. His books have covered everything from the birth of the atomic bomb to the cutthroat world of dinosaur bone hunting in the 1800s.
Lately, Ottaviani has been writing about the "Science of the Unscientific," with two books coming out simultaneously: "Levitation," illustrated by Janine Johnston, is about the fight over the greatest magic trick in the world; and "The Wire Mother," illustrated by Dylan Meconis, a heartwarming tale of a monkey's love. Sort of. The pair of books will be out in July from Ottaviani's G.T. Labs, and CBR News managed to snatch Ottaviani away from writing just long enough to talk about them.
You're billing the two new books, "Levitation" and "Wire Mothers," as the "Science of the Unscientific." Can you tell us a bit more about that?
Sure. It's not complicated, really. I think we're all fascinated by the unexplained. Humans seem to have a need for mystery. We also have a need to try to explain those mysteries. I've found the stories behind those explanations, and the explainers, compelling.
Why two books at the same time?
That actually wasn't the plan. I finished the script for "Levitation" in 2005, before "Bone Sharps" came out. But Janine's schedule didn't permit her to get going on it until much later, so the timing was such that both books got completed simultaneously. Since I consider them the beginning of an ongoing series, it's nice to start off with a bang!
Why don't you tell us what "Levitation" is about?
I think the subtitle of the book says it well: physics and psychology in the service of deception. To expand on that, stage magic relies on a combination of science and story for its effect. The story of how the most famous levitation illusion was invented in England appeared in the U.S. thanks to a very crafty magician, and how it became a hit throughout the country has all the elements you want in a good story. Mystery, intrigue, a bit of bad behavior, and very human characters.
What is "The Levi?"
That's stage magician shorthand for the levitation illusion. There are actually a number of types of this trick, and the levi our book deals with is the Aga version. There's also an "as(h)ra" version, and others as well.
"Levitation" being about magic, was there any difficulty in doing the research, since magicians can be secretive, especially when they've been dead for seventy years?
This is an old trick, and its secrets were first revealed in print roughly 100 years ago. That said, those old books are hard to find! So I have to give special thanks to my friend Gene Alloway at Motte & Bailey Booksellers in Ann Arbor, Michigan for allowing me access to the Marcello Truzzi collection, and to the late Elaine Lund at the American Museum of Magic in Marshall, Michigan who opened the Museum and her library to me, a stranger, and made sure I got to see and read everything I wanted. Some of it proved to be a wild goose chase. Others, like the British publication "Black and White Budget," dated Feb 8, 1902, provided me with wonderful details on the original version of the trick called Entranced Fakir.
Had you any interest in magic prior to this, or did you just spot a good story?
I've been a fan, though not a rabid one, of stage magic for twenty years. I don't seek out many shows, though, and don't live in a place where lots of big stage shows appear. The only magicians I'll drop everything or travel to see are Penn & Teller. So I guess I like the romance of it as much as the actual practice. I certainly enjoy reading about it, and Jim Steinmeyer's books are my most recent favorites.
If Levitation is a story about the science of magic, Wire Mothers is a story about the science of...?
Love, plain and simple. Or not so plain, and not so simple, as it turns out.
There was a time, from the 1920s through the 1950s, where simply saying the word "love" in scientific circles got you dirty looks. It didn't appear in textbooks, didn't appear in scientific papers...nothing. Even worse, professional advice from psychologists on child-rearing ran along these lines: Never hug and kiss them, never let them sit on your lap. The end result is a happy child. Free as air, because he has mastered the stupidly simple demands society makes upon him. It took an outsider scientist to challenge this. When Harry Harlow began his experiments on mother-love he was more than just outside the mainstream, though. He was an unhappy man who knew in his gut the truth about what love -- and its absence -- meant, and set about to prove it.
Has researching Harlow's experiments and conclusions changed the way you think about human relationships?
Not really, no. I believed love existed and was important before I'd ever heard of Harry Harlow. Harlow's search for why his life and relationships were the way they were got played out in his research. But he couldn't apply what he learned directly to his life, in part because it was too late, and in part because he just didn't have the mental and emotional tools he needed. So what I got from the story is having it reinforced that while you and I may not be scientists, we do have a set of tools and we can use to make changes in the world we live in.
Harlow's experiments seemed to reveal a biological need for love, but many of his later experiments on monkeys were, by most standards, very cruel and unloving, Is this contrast something you cover in the book?
Not explicitly. I think an alert reader will gather that Harlow might be heading down a dark path in future experiments, but we only give a couple of visual hints in the story. There are at least three reasons for that.
First, there's only so much space, so you have to choose your focus. Second, Harlow's story does have a natural beginning, middle, and end if you stick to this aspect of his research. Third, I think Harlow's story is overall a story of hope, not despair. So while it's a dark story, and the undercurrents aren't all positive, I chose to end it before things took a turn for the worse. I hope readers will learn more about him by checking some of the references we cite in the back of the book. There are other Harlow stories to tell, but they didn't fit in this book.
Both Harlow and the magicians featured in "Levitation" are big personalities. Was this part of the reason you linked them together?
That's a good observation, and I hadn't thought of that explicitly when I was doing this. I think you're right -- big personalities are almost always good sources for a story, and making sure the two books are present the same charismatic heft, so to speak, is a good thing. It wasn't intentional, or at least conscious, though!
How did you go about selecting the artists for the project and what made them right for each book?
The process I've used to select artists hasn't changed much over the years. I try not to even think about who I'd like to ask until I've completed the first draft of a script, since only then will I have a good enough idea of what the story should look like. Then it's a combination of opportunity and luck. I approach artists whose work I admire and see what happens. The good artists are often busy, but sometimes I get lucky.
That's certainly the case for both of these books. "Levitation's" story had a richly textured feel for me, and I saw painted art as my ideal. Having worked with Janine on "Fallout" I knew that she could deliver exactly the look I wanted -- and she was available. It took a little longer to get started than we had hoped, but the results are worth the wait.
As for "Wire Mothers" and Dylan Meconis, I first took note of her work in the first volume of "Flight," and then with her online stories Bite Me and Family Man (currently running on webcomicsnation.com ). Interestingly to me, she chose a very different style for "Wire Mothers" than she uses in her online work, but when I saw her first batch of pages I knew I'd lucked out again. She understood the story and was drawing it just the way I wanted it drawn, even though I didn't know that's how I wanted it drawn, if you know what I mean!
So how did you get so deeply interested in science?
I've been interested in science most of my life, really. I participated in science fair competitions when I was in grade school and got a couple of degrees in nuclear engineering as a college student. In between, and after, I've always enjoyed reading and learning about the people who made the discoveries that have shaped our world.
And comics?
Like many people, I read comic strips in the newspaper, and I still read 'em online, since we don't get a daily paper at home any more. I also read a few comics as a kid, but not many, really. It wasn't until college, and my younger brothers had a bunch of comics around the house when I would return during holidays, that I started reading them again. This was in the early 1980s, and it was a very good time to get into comics as an older reader. "Love and Rockets," Frank Miller's "Daredevil," Matt Wagner's "Mage," Baron and Rude's "Nexus," and then "Maus" and "Watchmen" and "American Flagg" and "The Dark Knight Returns." There were lots of great things to read!
I think you can probably guess where I'm heading with the next question: why comics about science?
Well, I think it's because I'm not really a scientist. People often portray me as such, because it's convenient shorthand, but a nuclear engineer is different from a nuclear physicist. It's subtle, but it's there, and it's the engineer in me that put the two things together, because it works. Comics are an effective means for communicating ideas. Look at any scientific paper. Sure, you'll see math, but you'll see words to frame the math, and you'll see pictures where words and math can't do the job. So comics about these people make sense at a really basic level. Also, I wanted to read comics like this myself, and since nobody else was doing them it looked like it was up to me.
Are you surprised with how popular the books have been?
Yes and no. Yes, because many people still react with surprise when they see that such a thing even exists. They'd never imagined it. But no. In the world of prose and movies, true stories are very popular. The Oscar nominees for Best Picture each year always includes a couple of stories based on fact. And I tell true stories. Sure, they're about scientists, but that's almost a by the way sort of thing.
What else do you have coming up?
I've had a busy year. I've written a full biography of Richard Feynman, one of the most dynamic figures in physics ever. I'm not sure when that's scheduled to come out. Probably next year. First Second will publish it, and I'm delighted to be working with them. I admire the tremendously high quality of the books they've done so far. Also underway, and also for First Second, I have a book on the three primate researchers that have done the longest studies on our close animal relatives: Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Biruté Galdikas. Their stories are quite exciting, and weaving them together has proved challenging. Finally, and also underway, is a book on the space race, focusing not on the astronauts, but on the people that didn't get to leave earth and go to the moon. Engineers and scientists, women pilots, the cosmonauts who came so close. All the people whose names you probably don't know. Again, tremendous fun.
Thanks for talking to us Jim!
"Levitiation" and "Wire Mothers" will be out in July in comic shops and books stores, but if you want to make sure you get a copy, we'll even provided the order codes. We're good like that here at Comic Book Resources.

Must have attained the age of discretion, usually around seven years or older.
Diocesan Policy and Parish Guidelines
Catechesis for First Reconciliation is to be kept separate from catechesis for First Communion.
It is recommended that sacramental preparation be separate from a religious education program (Sunday RE classes).
The candidate must receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation before receiving Holy Communion for the first time. The candidate must also meet the following requirements:
- Must have attained the age of discretion, usually around seven years of age or older
- Before they can receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion, the candidates must present a copy of the record of their baptism from the church where they were baptized.
- Be properly instructed.
·Pastoral Considerations
INTERVIEWS - Prior to and separate from the celebration of the sacraments, pastors or pastoral administrators are to arrange to meet with the parents and the child preparing for the sacrament. To receive their First Communion, the children will have to pass a final interview with the pastor to verify they are prepared to receive the Sacrament.
- All children and their families are required to attend Mass each weekend.
- All children and at least one parent will attend each monthly Sacramental Prep session.
- In addition, all children must regularly attend their age-appropriate class during the Sunday RE program.
- Beginning in the Fall of 2019, all children receiving Sacraments will have to have regularly attended their age-appropriate Sunday RE class the during the previous school year.
- For example, to receive their First Communion in May 2020, the child must be enrolled in and regularly attend Sunday RE during the 2018-19 school year.
HOME SCHOOLED CHILDREN - If parents request to Home School for the Sunday Religious Education component of the program, materials are available. Reception of the sacraments will be celebrated in the family's parish of registration.
CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS - Children with developmental or mental disabilities are encouraged to receive the Sacraments at the appropriate time. The Loyola Press Program for children with special needs is currently used at St. Nicholas parish.
First Reconciliation
Readiness for reception of the Sacrament of Reconciliation includes knowledge of the person of Jesus and the Gospel message of forgiveness, knowledge of sin and its effect, and understanding and experience of sorrow, forgiveness, and conversion. A candidate is ready to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation when the parents, the pastor and the catechist have discerned that the candidate:
- Is aware that God loves us unconditionally
- Understands that Jesus died for our sins
- Recognizes good and evil, our personal capacity for both, and the importance of right choices
- Understands and can express sorrow for sin and forgiveness of others
Which means the candidate can:
- Understand how to celebrate the Rite of Reconciliation
- Recognize his need for forgiveness, not only from parents and others close to him, but from God
- Is ready to turn to Christ and the Church for sacramental forgiveness and reconciliation
Understand that sacramental Confession is a means offered to children of the Church to obtain pardon for sin, and furthermore that it is even necessary per se if one has fallen into serious sin
Additionally, the candidate can recite from memory the following prayers:
- Our Father
- Hail Mary
- Glory be
- Act of Contrition
Consistent attendance is required at Sunday Mass, Sunday morning Religious Education Class, special monthly Sacramental Preparation classes (both parent & child), and the Sacramental retreat.
First Communion
A candidate for First Communion is required to have sufficient knowledge and careful preparation so as to understand the mystery of Christ according to his capacity and can receive the Body of the Lord with faith and devotion. A candidate is ready to receive the Sacrament of First Communion when the parents, the pastor and the catechist have discerned that the candidate:
- Understands that the Holy Eucharist is truly the Body and Blood of Christ under the appearance of bread and wine. The Eucharist is not ordinary bread and wine. What appear to be bread and wine are actually His living Body and Blood.
- Understands that the Eucharist is the commemoration of Christ's last meal with his disciples and a memorial of his sacrifice for our salvation.
- Understands that by sharing in this special meal, we become brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ on earth.
- Has an appreciation of how to participate actively and consciously in the Mass and can in an informed and reverent manner receive Christ's Body and Blood.
- Understands the presence of Jesus in the Word, in the people assembled, and in the priest.
Consistent attendance is required at Sunday Mass, Sunday morning Religious Education Class, special monthly Sacramental Preparation classes (both parent & child), and at the Sacramental retreat (both parent & child).

How is it already almost the end of April? The months seem to be competing in some kind of intense race to the future, and they're all tied for first place. Last I checked, it was December... 2007. Gah!
Perhaps not coincidentally, things have been busy busy. I'm getting things ready to revamp my site, which needs a facelift and some new photos, and I'm taking a class on a really interesting type of portraiture I hope to offer to my clients very soon. I've also got a top-secret project I'm working on which I hope to be sharing with you right here on this very blog in the coming months. (The mystery! The intrigue!! Please try to hold onto your seats...)
Today I had lunch with the absolutely lovely Heather McCutchen, a local photographer who found me through Creative Live (Will I ever stop talking about that? Maybe not...). It is so nice to be meeting other people in the area who share the same passion and excitement for photography that I do. Also, she's a fellow Nikon shooter... I think we're going to be friends :D
The photos in this post are dedicated to my sweet Judah, who is currently obsessed with all things round... bubbles and balloons very much included.

The best golf clubs for senior men are clubs with a longer shaft, heavier head and a lower kick point. Anything higher than a 5-iron, such as fairway woods and hybrids, are good choices.
As golfers age, they lose strength to strike the ball. Even though an older man hits the ball perfectly every time, the ball often travels a fraction of the distance it did when he was younger. There are many ways to get around this limitation. Each works well on its own, but when they are combined, an aging man's golf game can be just as good as when he was young.
Using a longer shaft translates into more power to the head, providing an increase in explosive power. About an inch of extra length is enough to put extra strength back into a man's swing. A heavier head on the golf club gives the swing more power without requiring a faster swing speed. Placing a heavier head on a longer shaft translates into greater power and velocity and a better golf game.
Another tip for the senior golfer is to use softer, tour quality balls, which are better for scrambling. Rotating the hips completely also is very important to getting the most out of a swing.

From the Great Lakes through the Great Plains, nothing dominates the American agricultural landscape like corn. Thanks to breeding and technology, American farmers are incredibly efficient at growing corn. Last season, corn yields averaged a whopping 175 bushels per acre, and American farmers grew a record 15.2 billion bushels, or 853 billion pounds of corn.
In addition to being abundant, corn is also a versatile crop. It can be used for food such as grits, cornmeal, corn flour, as well as animal feed for hogs, beef and dairy cattle, and poultry. Thanks to advances in science and technology corn is also turned into a wide area of food additives such as high-fructose corn syrup, as well as bio-fuels like ethanol and even bio-based plastics.
Corn has been bred for high yields, uniformity, and also genetically modified for both herbicide tolerance and insect tolerance. However, one thing that corn is not is nutrient efficient. In order for American farmers to produce such high yields of corn, the amount of fertilizer used is massive. According to Scientific American over 5.6 million tons of nitrogen is applied to corn each year through chemical fertilizers, along with nearly a million tons of nitrogen from manure. However, because of a variety of factors including weather, soil health, and management practices, much of this fertilizer washes into the nation's lakes, rivers and coastal oceans, polluting waters and damaging ecosystems along the way. The dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico is the largest, and most iconic, example of this.
One researcher has set out to change all of that. Walter Goldstein, a corn breeder at the non-profit Mandaamin Institute in Southeastern Wisconsin, has been working on breeding corn that is more nutritious, more efficient, and uses less nitrogen.
With support from the USDA Organic Research and Extension Initiative (OREI), Goldstein works closely with university researchers in studying the partnerships between corn and diazotrophic (N2 fixing) bacteria, which can result in corn that is more nutrient efficient. Nitrogen efficient corn, which is bred to produce efficiently in low nitrogen environments, relies on beneficial microbial relationships to fix nitrogen and provide the plant with the nutrients needed to grow and thrive without additional applications of nitrogen.
In addition to nitrogen efficiency, the corn that is being bred by the Mandaamin Institute also has the added benefit of being more nutritious. The breeds have similar yields to high preforming commercial varieties, but with higher concentrations of methionine, lysine, oil, and protein. Additionally, there is an increased carotenoid content in the corn, which can result in eggs and poultry meat higher in carotenoids, which are beneficial for human health.
Thanks to the support of USDA's OREI, the work being done by the Mandaamin Institute has the potential to revolutionize corn production. By bringing corn breeding to the next level and combining top quality strains for both quality and yield through traditional breeding methods, the Mandaamin Institute is in the process of developing corn that has the capacity to provide more nutrients for both humans and animals, as well as reduce the need for nitrogen fertilizers that are negatively impacting our natural resources.
OFRF is committed to working with organic champions and policy makers to increase support for research that helps farmers overcome barriers to transition. OFRF is advocating for passage of the Organic Agriculture Research Act, which would raise funding for USDA's Organic Research Extension Initiative (OREI) from $20 million to $50 million annually. The increase would help provide the tools and knowledge to support farmers as they seek to meet the growing demand for organic products.

How to Write a Good Resume Objective
The objective is an often-overlooked resume section. When it's written well, it can characterize you as a good match for a job. But objectives that don't follow best practices can detract from your application and appear unprofessional. Here's what an objective is for, when you need one, and what it should include.
What is a resume objective?
A resume objective is a short statement of one or two sentences. It says what kind of job you want and highlights a few of your qualifications for that job.
Do you need an objective?
A resume objective is optional, and many people believe you don't need one. Since it's not a required field for a resume, you want to make sure the objective adds something that isn't obvious from other parts of your application. If you can't point to a compelling reason for writing an objective, you may want to leave it out or replace it with a summary.
That said, there are times when an objective tells the hiring manager something that your experience and qualifications don't make clear. An example is when you're applying to your dream position or to a company you have always wanted to work for. An objective can make the case that this is the perfect position for you. You can use it to say that you want this particular job, not just any job.
Another case when an objective is very useful is when you're being pigeonholed for positions in a certain department and you want to break out of that pattern. Maybe most of your previous jobs have been in security, and every time you send a resume to a new hotel, they consider you only for security officer openings. If you really want to become an assistant operations manager, it makes sense to put that objective front and center.
What to include
Your objective should include a description of the type of role you want, and it should be as specific as possible. Don't say "seeking a marketing position"; say "seeking a guest marketing specialist role at a full-service boutique hotel." Make sure that this description matches the job you're applying for.
Your objective should also briefly mention some skills or qualifications that make you a good fit for that role. This won't be a comprehensive list of things you can do. The idea is just to connect two or three of your areas of expertise with the job you're applying for.
What not to say in your objective
The objective should convince the hiring manager that you are a good fit for a position, but it shouldn't be a wish list of everything you're looking for in a job. Don't mention the benefits or salary you want, and don't list all the responsibilities you expect. Describe the type of job you want in a few short phrases; this description should sound like the title of a job posting. For example, say, "seeking a position as a domestic sales manager," not "seeking a well-paid position where I can reach out to prospects and close sales."
Any qualifications you list in the objective should be supported by other information in your resume. Don't say that you want to use your customer service skills on the job if you've never worked in the front of house.
And finally, the objective shouldn't cast doubt on your ability to do the job. Don't bring up any deficiencies in your experience. For example, don't say, "Even though I have never worked at the management level before, I'm seeking a position as a housekeeping manager." Instead, say, "I'm seeking a position as a housekeeping manager in which I can apply my organizational skills and knowledge of housekeeping procedures."

'Lashkar making desperate calls to PoK for supplies'
Army sources say the terror group is facing acute shortage of men, money and weapons.india Updated: Aug 09, 2007 23:32 IST
The Army on Thursday said Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist group was facing acute shortage of men and material and making "desperate" calls to Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) for supplies besides beginning extortion of villagers in the higher reaches of Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Army sources, various intercepts indicated that LeT commanders in Jammu were making wireless contact with the PoK leaders for replenishment of men, money and weapons to sustain militancy in the state.
The sources claimed that Jammu and Kashmir-based Lashkar commanders had been suggesting to their masters across the border that lack of weapon and money was sending wrong signal to its cadres in the state.
"The intercepts point to frustration among the cadres of different terrorist outfits, who have very less stores of weapons and ammunitation besides money," they said.
The sources said terrorists at the lower rung had begun extortion of local villagers and there were also incidents of looting of cattle, eatables and money from people living in mountainous belts during past two to three months.
"Not only this, recruitments have been conducted by outfits like LeT, Hizbul Mujahideen and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen in Doda belts and the new recuits do not have any weapons," they said.
They said these factors were responsible for over 76 terrorists of Hizb, LeT, Al-Badr, HuM other outfits surrendering during the past few months.

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) recently posted a better than expected Q4 performance with an 11.5% jump in sales, led by a ramp up in Oncology drugs. However, the stock declined over 4% in trading during the day over the news of the company losing an appeal regarding the validity of Remicade's patent. Remicade is the top selling drug for J&J, with sales of over $6.3 billion in 2017, reflecting a decline of 9% compared to 2016. Of late, the drug is facing increased competition from biosimilars. Remicade's patent in the U.S. was previously expected to expire in 2018, but a federal judge invalidated the patent in 2016. This prompted Pfizer to launch a biosimilar version of the drug, Inflectra, in November 2016. Inflectra is priced at a discount to Remicade, which is impacting Remicade's market share.
Q4 Overview
J&J's Q4 results were largely in line with expectations, with a ramp up in Darzalex and Imbruvica sales. The drugs posted 85% and 50% jumps in Q4 sales, respectively. We believe that oncology drugs will be the key growth driver for J&J in the near term. We currently estimate Darzalex sales to be around $1.8 billion and Imbruvica sales to be roughly $2.4 billion in 2018. The company's overall outlook for 2018 was on the lower side, with a 2.5% to 3.5% operational sales guidance.

- Johnson & Johnson: How Does Darzalex Compare To Other Multiple Myeloma Drugs?
- How Much Can Johnson & Johnson's Consumer Healthcare Revenue Grow Over The Next Three Years?
- How Did Johnson & Johnson Fare In Q1?
Beyond oncology, J&J's immunology drug Stelara continued to perform well, with a 23% jump in Q4 sales. Stelara's performance was solid in 2017, led by market share gains in the immunology and Crohn's Disease market. We expect Stelara to continue to perform well in the near term. Looking at other segments, the medical devices and consumer businesses will likely continue to drag along at a modest pace. The medical devices segment hasn't seen a meaningful growth trigger, while the consumer business is facing strong competition from both big brands and private labels.
On the new tax code, J&J made a provision of $13.6 billion in Q4 as it awaits further guidance from regulatory bodies. The company has guided for a 16.5% to 18% effective tax rate range for 2018. This compares with 17.2% for 2017. The new tax code is positive for pharma companies, as it could allow them to potentially increase R&D investments with the freed up cash, and more projects may become economically viable.
Our price estimate of $125 for Johnson & Johnson is around 10% below the current market price. We will soon update our model to incorporate the recent quarterly earnings.

Make your voice heard - Write to your MP
Write to your MP and ask them to support two parliamentary motions calling on the Government to act on breast cancer prevention.
The age-standardised rate of breast cancer rose by 24% in women between 1993-1995 and 2012-2014, even though around 1 in 4 breast cancer cases are preventable. We need more research into the causes of breast cancer and a proper strategy for prevention.
- Early day motion 416 calls for the Government to develop a cross-departmental strategy on the primary prevention of cancer
- Early day motion 443 calls for more funding for research into the causes of breast cancer.
You can check to see if your MP has already signed by clicking on the links above.
Early Day Motions (EDMs) are motions submitted for debate in the House of Commons. Although the EDMs are unlikely to be debated, they will help draw attention to breast cancer prevention and demonstrate support in Parliament. The more MPs sign these EDMs, the more it shows Parliamentary support for action to prevent breast cancer.
You can find your MP below. Only your MP will be able to respond to your query.
Please do edit and personalise your email to your MP, perhaps tell them why breast cancer prevention is important to you - the more personal touches there are, the more of an impact it will have.
If you receive a response from your MP, please do let us know.

Jim is another one of those people that I met through this thing we call the internet. Maybe Twitter. Maybe Facebook. I really can't remember because as soon as we were introduced, Jim and I became fast friends. Honestly, if you need someone to just affirm your very existence, you need to know JIm. I think this post will show why. Enjoy.
Many writers recommend writing first thing in the morning, which typically means getting up between 4:30-5:00 AM to write. But whenever I attempt to do this, I often find myself sleeping on the keyboard or falling asleep in the middle of the day. I'd like to propose some ideas for the writers who don't want to get up with the chickens. I firmly believe there is no one specific way to write, other than you just have to find the time and do it.
Write in the evening.
I have an almost 3 yr old daughter who is FILLED to the brim with energy. When she goes to bed, I try to start writing. However, there are times I need to unwind and spend some time with my wife. The first thing I do is write down specifically what I would like to work on after my break. I'll write down the title to a blog post or an idea that I'd like to explore further. Then I set a timer for around 45 minutes. When the timer goes off, it's time for ink to hit the page.
Sure, I might spend 45 minutes watching a couple episodes of King of Queens, but my subconscious gives me a head start on the evening's writing goal. Don't forget the timer! When I forget to set the timer, I am a million times more likely to veg on the couch, surf the web mindlessly and neglect my writing responsibilities.
Write on the weekends.
I often accomplish a significant part of my weekly writing by being productive when my daughter takes her afternoon nap during the weekend. Sure, I could easily be watching the White Sox game or Rocky for the 1000th time, but writing is more important to me. Even if you don't have kids, you still might need to say no to a party or barbeque in order to write.
I'm not saying you need to say no all of the time; balance is important, but try to use your free time as wisely as possible. If you are a writer, a portion of your free time should be spent writing. Writing becomes a hobby when you just do it when you "feel like it."
Write on the daily commute.
I am extremely fortunate to ride the bus, which is great for the environment as well as my writing time. I'll spend a portion of my time on the bus reading a book and the other half just writing about my surroundings. Buildings, other riders, the sky, anything. Sometimes I will just talk to whoever is sitting next to me and just soak in their stories. Even if you can't ride the bus, you can still write on your commute. When I drive, I use a voice recorder on my iPod to record my thoughts as I drive down the road. Then I later organize my thoughts and often have a headstart on my writing for the day.
Write all the time.
I enjoy jotting down ideas on a notebook and then I revisit them later. I'd say this is how I come up with most of my blog post ideas. If you are walking outside and something catches your eye, write it down. If you see something that reminds you of something you did as a child, write it down. Even if you don't want to use a physical notebook, fire yourself a text message of your ideas and observations.
Write when you have energy.
This might sound really simple and self-explanatory, but you need to write when you have energy. Match the task at hand to the amount of energy you have. If you have the most focus between 10:00 AM-11:00 AM, see if you can take an early lunch hour and write then. At bare minimum I'd recommend taking a short break then to jot down some ideas and see how much work you can do in a 15 minute break. I know you won't be able to do this all of the time and this might sound too "perfect." It will take some trial and error to find your writing groove. You will need to write when you don't have enough energy to keep your eyes open (coffee helps here). You will figure it out. Be patient. Give it some time.
Write, write, write.
Life is often crazy. When my daughter gets sick, usually I get sick. The car has a flat tire. The house needs to be cleaned because company is coming over. Friends need help. Things come up all the time. If I didn't have a flexible writing plan and HAD to write every morning at 4:30 AM, I probably would have burnt out and given up. I don't want you to burn out. The key is to find what works for YOU and write.

Coffey Break Chat: Finishing Touches With Floral Designer Chasidy Billups
Hey guys!
Happy Saturday! The story behind floral designer, Chasidy Billups, and my friendship is a multi-layered one. It all started with my nonprofit, Mia's Closet years ago and after all this time, I'm finally getting settled here in my new home here in New York just a short ride from Chas.
When I moved into my new place in Brooklyn, I knew that if nothing else, I needed my room to be an oasis here in the city. To my surprise, I pretty much knocked out the room design in a flash my second weekend here. The catch, was that I just didn't know what to do with the wall/space directly in front of me. It's the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning, so I knew it needed something. I just couldn't figure out what.
That's where Chas came in. Say what you want about social media. It has come to the rescue for me time and time again! Around the time of scratching my head over the space, Chas posted a step by step instastory showing highlighting a floral arrange display she was putting together and it was just so lovely. I was like, "That's it! All of it! That's what I need!" haha And a week later we were at my place scoping out my space and hopping on the Q train to shop vases and get flowers.
To say the least, I'm still totally smitten with the final result, and I couldn't believe how long everything lasted. Below you'll find a a vlog of the day and an interview where she shares more about herself, her design style, and what she's learned along the way. As always, thanks so much for stopping by. Enjoy!
Xoxo, Chels
Coffey Break Chat: Chasidy Billups
Chas, tell us a little bit about yourself!
I'm a New York based creative. I say creative because I don't want to limit myself in terms of a "title." Although I have a background in PR, I am currently pursuing styling and creative direction full-time. Having the freedom to create in my own space, on my own time means a lot to me right now. It's allowed me to explore areas of myself I had ignored for a long time. I recently styled a Nike x VSCO project that I'm super excited about it! I've got some big plans for the summer, a lot of it inspired by women and florals of course.
What got you into floral design?
For me, I felt I had lost a bit of femininity living in New York. That may sound a bit odd, but I found myself a little hardened by the city. New York is a tough place, so I had to revive the softer parts of myself in order to reconnect with myself. When I go to a floral shop and spend time gazing at the colors and shape of flowers and go home and arrange them, etc. it makes me feel womanly. Now I dream of the day when I can have my own garden and actually grow flowers myself.
Where should people start if they want to spruce up their space and they just don't know what to do first?
If you want to add a bit of life to your space start with green plants. My favorite is the Monstera. It's just big and beautiful, it calls attention to itself in any space its in.
What are your greatest inspirations when it comes to design?
One of my greatest inspirations when it comes to design is one of my best friends Adrienne Raquel. Where as I'm heavily influenced by shape, she is the expert in color. So, learning color placement and arrangement is something I am always aware of when selecting flowers and plants. I always want things to flow naturally and each flower/plant to compliment whatever else is in the room.
In my mind, there's always overlap between my sense of style, what I'm listening to, and the overall vibe I want for the space I'm in. What 5 songs do you currently have on rotation?
1. Chanel - Frank Ocean
2. I Wanna Be Down - Brandy
3. Damn - Trina ft. Tory Lanes
4. Somebody - Junglepussy
5. Selfish - Future ft. Rihanna
These songs don't really "match" lol, but they each serve a different purpose. I rely heavily on music to put me in the space I want to be in at the moment.
How would you describe your sense of style?
I'd have to describe my personal style as "New York Practical." That just means a love a good block heel boot, black, and comfortability - practical fashion!
What do you wish you would have known before getting started with floral design?
There's not much I wish I would have known beforehand. I'm still at the beginning of this journey, so stay tuned!
Do you have any advice for people looking to break into this field professionally?
My advice is, don't limit yourself creatively. If you have the vision, go for it - you can always buy more flowers. If the arrangement doesn't look how you intended, rework it. buy another vase, find another use, keep going.
You can reach me via social media at @_bigchassss or by email at email@example.com!
Thanks for stopping by! Let's connect?

...a little of that.
I've been doing a lot of dabbling since we moved. The great thing about my new studio setup is that I can work on lots of projects at once. The bad thing about the new studio setup is... that I can work on lots of projects at once.
I built this sweet double wall easel:
And to celebrate, I started... a watercolor. Which doesn't use the wall easel at all. Oh well!
This watercolor has been AWESOME... the client preferred an autumn setting, and the colors of the leaves REALLY make it pop!
While I was working on it, I experimented with several ways to capture the process.
I fiddled with Flipagram:
And then took some progress videos... one was excruciatingly slow, but I used iMovie to condense it from 5 minutes to 41s:
The iMovie quality is better, but this clip of painting is a little more interesting... I think? I made it using LapseIt, which takes timelapse pictures and turns them into a video... unfortunately, it degrades the quality a little bit. Or maybe it's just out of focus. For your viewing pleasure:
Obviously, I'm not a technical expert.
What do y'all think? Which one do you like? Or do you prefer the good-ol-composite photo, like this?
Please do let me know - I'll try to keep things as interesting as possible!
For more in-progress works, follow my Instagram @alysonjohnsoncreative
Ta-ta for now!

Our History
Today, the City of Kelowna has within its limits a boating organization both power and sail, which is second to none in the entire country. A handsome clubhouse now stands on a site purchased from the City of Kelowna in 2011. Behind the Club is one of the finest marinas in Western Canada, providing moorage accommodations for approximately 1000 boats of different kinds and sizes. The former successful position of the Kelowna Yacht Club is an outstanding testimony to the many, many thousands of man hours contributed both in work and interest by many Members throughout the intervening years and without any direct cost to the City of Kelowna.
Above Left: The result of five years of untiring effort by the executive to get a home for the Yacht Club.
Above Right: These buildings were the original radio station CKOV. Later the magistrate's offices. Purchased from the city and moved to our premises in early 1951.
During the fall of 1945, a group of power boat owners and others who were interested in the future of boating in Okanagan Lake met to discuss ways and means to form a club and promote boating of all kinds in and around Kelowna. For various reasons at that time, there was very little interest or activity in boating anywhere in the Okanagan, and with the Second World War just over this group of men believed something could and should be done about it. In the meantime, recognizing the need for launching facilities, the members (by volunteer labor) provided a launching ramp. A clubhouse was also believed to be a necessity if the club was to function efficiently, and in 1951 a start was made on this objective when the former building housing the local radio station on Mill Avenue (now Queensway) was purchased, moved and added to.
As a result of the first discussions, several meetings were held throughout the winter of 1945–1946 and action was taken in regards to two objectives. One was the matter of incorporation as a fully functioning boating organization, and the other was the provision of protected moorage facilities. The first objective was achieved when in September of 1946 the Kelowna Yacht Club was incorporated and granted a charter under the Companies Act of the province of British Columbia. The second objective required more time, but by the year 1950 this objective was also realized.
Some years prior to the Second World War, there had existed a relatively small and inadequate breakwater, built by the Federal Government, in part of the area now occupied by the present breakwater. Over the years this had fallen into considerable disrepair and was of very little use in providing protection for moorage and, of course, there were no moorage facilities behind it. The newly constituted Kelowna Yacht Club, through many individuals, made representation to the Federal Government which resulted in the old breakwater being removed and a larger and much more adequate one being built. The Kelowna Yacht Club then proceeded to provide moorage facilities behind this breakwater.
From the beginning in 1945, financing was required for all the objectives undertaken, and borrowing was the means used. This has been mostly from local banks, or in some cases, the membership. All borrowings have been repaid with the required interest with monies provided from revenue derived from membership fee, moorage fees and bar operations. No money has been received from any other sources and no request for financial assistance has ever been made to any other possible source.
Extending over the years from 1945 and including the current year 1969, well over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars has been expended for capital outlays including the moorage facilities, both open and covered stalls, dry moorage and the clubhouse and also a work boat equipped with motor. All operating costs such as upkeep, repairs, minor renovations and insurance have been paid as required. A full-time staff of three men are now employed compared with one part-time man in 1951. These operating costs required many thousands of dollars in addition to the capital outlays.
Your executive hopes the future of the Kelowna Yacht Club is one of continuing progress and success in the interest of better but affordable boating on Okanagan Lake.
The original charter of the Kelowna Yacht Club contained six names: Cecil Newbury, Jack Coops, Harry Mitchell, Dr. Len Panton, George Sutherland and Sidney Hubble. This was the group that met on the upper floor of Harry Mitchell's store in 1945.
The old radio station, bought in 1951, was purchased for $150.00 out of a kitty of $245.00. The clubhouse was expanded and renovated in 1965 and again in 1986.
The moorage in 1951 contained 38 "stalls", 35 of those were rented. The moorage was expanded and upgraded in 1957, 1979, 1994 and 2004. Upgrades have continued from 900 marina slips in 2011 to 1,006 marina slips in 2013.
