CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, October 27, 1977 “Ald. Kilpatrick Gives Report On ' Highways Department Meeting Extension of Sixth Avenue South into Highway 3 North, landscaping of the highway interchange, the status of Co- lumbia Avenue and the installa- tion of an underpass on High- way 3A were among the topics discussed in a meeting last week with a highways depart- ment official, Ald. Brian Kil- patrick told city council Tues- day. Kilpatrick, works and ser- vices committee chairman, told council that regional manager Roger McKeown, in a meeting with him and Mayor Audrey Moore, provided the forms on which the city can submit its proposal for the one-way exten- sion of Sixth Avenue South into the highway, Kilpatrick said McKeown agreed that the landscaping on the interchange was “not that pleasing” and the department will take action this spring to rectify the situation. McKeown said Columbia: Avenue—a section of which was turned over to the city this fall by the department—was gazet- ted as “100 per cent city from the interchange to the Hugh Keenleyside Dam,” Kilpatrick said. The city's understanding was that the portion from the interchange to the ferry would “Drink has Little Value; Can Cause Malnutrition Although alcohol is classi- : fied as a food and a drug, it has little nutritional value and has been reported as one of the major causes of malnutrition in ies where an adequat muscle tissue cannot utilize alcohol, she told a workshop of the Hamilton and district nutri- tion committee. She said excessive alcohol * food supply is available, accord: : ing to a Toronto dietitian, : Bonnie Prince of Donwood Institute, which specializes in treatment of alcoholism, said *; researchers 30 years ago be- lieved malnutrition contributed to alcoholism but subsequent research indicates malnutrition * isa result of chronic alcoholism. Alcohol contains insuffi- : cient amounts of important vitamins, minerals and protein and is energy deficient because usually results in inadequate food intake because it inhibits appetite. Some alco- holies eat adequately but alco- hol’s toxicity interferes “with norma! food digestion, absorp- tion, utilization and storage, she said. Hard liquor contains 70 calories an ounce and when the major portion of caloric intake is derived from alcohol, the body cannot use the calories as it does calories from food sources, the dietitian said.

Report.is Revealing {continued from page Al) ‘The report states that the effluent was sufficiently diluted for the water to meet drinking water McKeown the city request the secondary designation from the depart- ment in writing, he said. Kilpatrick told council Me- Keown stated the traffic cdunt on Highway 3A does not warrant an underpass or over- pass to allow children from the Crestview Subdivision to walk to and from school, but said he would send the city a copy of the criteria necessary for such construction. Kilpatrick said McKeown also agreed to investigate the possibility of putting turning lines on Seventh Avenue South into Fourth and Sixth Streets at the Regional Recreation Complex, as well as a flashing amber-red traffic light at one of the locations. The alderman said Me- Keown, in response to ques- tions from Moore on a new highways pelley which ae “However, within the 10- mile dilution zone, heavy met- als occasionally reached con- centrations which could pos- sibly, impair aquatic life,” it said. . Enlarging on its Cominco findings, the report says that insoluble slag discharged with the plant effluent affected in- vertebrates (animals without backbones) up to three miles downstream of the plant. It said no metal analyses were done on the invertebrates but only one was released for other regions In the Kootonays. He said the study, which began in 1974, was handled by -water investiga- tions branch officals from Vie- torla who compiled data on the regions from various sources, “basically they.used everything they could get their hands on,” ho said. The second phase of the study will follow up the incon- clusive findings in the first phase with additional informa- tion, he said. A more extensive and up-to-date report, on the bac- terial ‘content of both the Columbia and Kootenay Rivers will be released by the health department’ in. spring’ 1978, Mike Harnadek, health inspec- tor for. the West Kootenay Health Unit, said Tuesday. He told’ the Castlegar News the health department survey, to be’ made over a 12-month period, will be based on weekly readings of coliform levels in the river. No Vandalism Coverage School District No. 9 will “to clear up any misunder- we r found in the three samples taken downstream of Cominco. “This absence of: aquatic life may in part be due to the release -of metals from the slag," says the report. “How- ever, it is more probably due to the concentrations of cadmium, lead and zinc in the water and to the abrasive nature of the ig slag.” roads, said he he 5 not aware ot According to the report, .

Transitional For Budgets The provincial govern- “ ment’s soon-to-be-pi Colleges Act has designated next year a transitional one regarding budgets for B.C. post-secondary institutions, Selkirk College principal Mitch Anderson reported. Anderson told the college council at a meeting earlier this month it is uncertain whether the government will assume either partial or total funding. for colleges in the province from 1978 to 1979. © “It may be complete fund- ing, it may be 60-40 (per cent cost-sharing) or somewhere in between,” he said. “All colleges and school boards will be under the budget by Jan. 1, 1979.” Anderson said the Act states all school districts must be contained in some college region. The Creston and Kettle Valley school districts will meet. with Selkirk College, as well as Okanagan . College, and=East Kootenay College, discuss the matter, he said. tons of slag a day into the Columbia and it consists of large particles containing ar- senic, copper, lead, molybde- num and zinc. The report says “there was a possibility. of some heavy metal contamination in fish.” The Keenleyside Dam evens out the flow of the Columbia by reducing spring flood peaks and ing low + provide dalism coverage for neither employees nor elected officials, the board of trustees decided last week. The board supported a recommendation from its policy committee that it advise Kin- naird Junior Secondary School staff there is no policy covering employees’ vehicles parked at the place of employment. In addition, a section pro- viding compensation for dam- age to trustees’ cars. was deleted from the board’s policy The -decision was in Te sponse to a letter in August) from KJSS teacher Doug Matt- hews, on behalf of himself‘and nine other teachers whose cars sustained a total $971 during a year-end awards ceremony, re- questing compensation. The decision to eliminate trustees’ coverage came after trustee Anne. Jones told: the” board in “its August. meeting that coverage for trustees, and ° not employees, maintained a double standard. Poles Already Installed .City OK’s the Lights The purchase of new street light installations at King winter flows. “Generally, the river pro- vided a large degree of dilution for industrial and municipal effluents,” states the report. “However, regulation by the dam did increase the period of very low flow. At these times, water quality may be affected by inadequate dilution of effluents.” According to the report, the water quality of the Arrow Lakes reservoir was good and was unaffected by the Mica and Keenleyside dams.” “However, the toxicity of the effluent was such that, at low river flow, it may have sublethal effects on fish,” the report said. The effluent may also taint fish.” Cancel’s. pulp> mill dis- charges about 25 million gallons per day. of effluent into the river ata point two miles below the dam and five miles above the Kootenay. River. The report states that at Birchbank, CanCel's mill had little effect on the Columbia, due partly to further dilution provided by the Kootenay River. “Municipal effluent from the city of Castlegar produced high coliform counts at Birch- bank but these should be reduced by a recently installed sewage treatment plant.” Rich Crozier, regional bio- logist for the Pollution Control Branch, told the * Castlegar News similar reports are being - ICBC Works In Slow and Mysterious Ways Seven months after most drivers paid their insurance premiums, the ICBC computer is laboriously going through-its Street, Drive and Valhalla Street gained city council's approval Tuesday. Ald. Brian Kilpatrick works and services committee chairman, recommended . the city issue-a purchase order to West Kootenay Power for the installations after a petition bearing the names of 11 resi- dents in the area complained of a lack of light between Colum- bia Avenue and Crescent Street. The petition said the area has “numerous children and adults who daily use this street to reach their homes.” Kilpatrick said the area already has poles upon which the lights can be installed. Installation of the lights will involve no capital costs, he said. Some Parents Would Shoot the Stork on Sight In recent: years, advice | columnists, women’s magazine surveys and psychologists have discovered a fact of life that ‘many harried“ parents have known all along, even if they wouldn't admit it out loud, “ namely: * Children, far from being the bedrock of a good marriage, are the treacherous shoals that can tear asunder the soundest union. ‘ No matter how hard Bsy- chologists have tried to re-rig the surveys’ on the impact of having children on marital satisfaction, the bottom line remained much the same— many experienced parents would shoot the stork on sight if they had it to do over again. A team of Cornell Univer- sity, N.Y., psychologists —Har- lasts long enough, husband and wife will recover from the years of 3 a.m. feedings,’ inquisitive toddlers with a radar sense for whe" the” folks dre feeling amorous, and teenage trauma. Although childtess couples ., are. generally. more . content with their marriages than the vast majority of people who opt for parenthood, the Feldmans “found that five factors dis- tinguish couples who donit experience. a loss: in marital satisfaction after the first child from those. who do, the re- searchers said at a-meeting of the American Orthopsychiatric Association in New York.” “Those who ' were. more satisfied with marriage after parenthood. were less compas- sionate before the child was born, had a longer length of old and have found from examining past studies and conducting some of their own that some couples are better prepared for kids than others. Moreover, if a. marriage before marriage, the wife had a more maternal attitude, the! wife ‘had more traditional sex role attitudes and the couples differed less in their‘ attitudes about child rearing,” the-Feldmans said.
