Sharing faith and partaking of

that most civilized habit: a nap

By SARAH A.
ZIMMERMAN
SACRED HEART Catho-
lic church has had a new
face at the altar since Au-

gust of last year,

’ Father Joseph Lang
came to Terrace after a six
‘year stint at the Prince

George Regional Correc- .

tional Centre where he
was the prison chaplain,

Originally from Lake-
wood, Ohio, Lang has
been a priest for 35 years.

“T like sharing the faith,
{ like the teaching of it,”
said Lang.

Since coming to Ter-
race he has been officia-
ting at eight church ser-
vices per week.

When he is not busy
working, Lang indulges his
penchant for heraldry and
genealogy.

“T7ll read anybody’s fa-
mily history,” he said.

His passion began as a
10-year-old fascinated by
his first encyclopedia, He
would spend hours trying
to figure out who was tela-
ted to whom.

TH read any-
body’s_ family
history.’

“Those carly rulers of
England you just can’t
piece topether,” he said.

Since coming to Cana-
da 12 years ago Lang has
spent his time in northern
BC,

Prior to Prince George
he ‘spent six years miai-
stering in Fort St. John and
three native villapes near-

says.
But for the moment, the
Rez Sisters Project offers
plenty of opportunity for
those who are interested to
get involved in a theatrical
_ production.

‘This is not a
bedroom farce or
box set play.’

Understudy roles for the
one male and six female
parts are still to be cast.

Understudies, a staple
of professional theatre, are
needed for this production
to ensure the actors will be
able to fulfil cultural com-
mitments if needed, Un-
derstudies will be guaran-
teed a chance to perform.

The production will also

’ need several crew mem-

bers.

Skeena River Players is
also calling on First Na-
tions artists to develop
costumes and props, in-
cluding someone who is
experienced with regalia
and masks.

Musicians are also invi-
ted to lend their talents to
the production.

Brorup Weston hopes to
create soundscapes for the
play.

Some changes to High-
-way’s original script are
being considered so the
play will contain geogra-
phical and cultural refer-
ences to northwestern B.C.

But for the most part,
the play has really struck a
chord with the actors, and
will likely resonate among
future audience-members,
toa.

“The themes are uni-
versal, and the characters
- people will recognize
right away,” Guno says,
“The overarching theme is
the conditions of life on
the reserve, and the some-
times hopeless poverty.”

The lure of Bingo, he
says, seems to, offer an
easy way out of that: for
the characters, he adds.

“This is not a bedroom
farce or box: set play,”
