When the war ended Ottawa told the Japanese Canadians to leave Canada and go back to Japan. Many did, but many also defied the order from Two of those who refused to leave were Shoichi Mat- sushita, 72, and Chie Kamegaya, 78. Not only did the two of them refuse to leave Canada, years ago. They had most of their possessions taken away — never to be seen again — and then the Canadian govern- ment shipped them to one of the remotest areas of British Columbia to be housed in wooden shacks in internment ‘That was 46 years ago and the Japanese who had been living in Canada when World War Two broke out are still waiting for the federal government to say they're Kamegaya of New Denver were two of 3,500 Japanese Canadians interned in Slocan Valley. but 46 years later they are still living in the Slocan Valley — both of them in New Denver.

Sitting continued on page AS Watch for stink bugs By MIKE KALESNIKO Staff Writer Watch out for the Leptoglofus occidentalis. “This time of the year, adults are jooking for places to hibernate,” warns Selkirk College entomologist Jon Shepard. What are Leptogiofus occident- alis? You might know them better as stink bugs “The stink is not something they project,” explained Shepard. “It simply exude’ from the surface of their skin.” According to Shepard, the number of stink bugs — also known as cedar bugs or western conifer seed bugs — is up this year and he said those volumes of insects are looking for a private, dry place to spend the winter. Shepard said stink bugs are not harmful. He said the larval eat the seeds of Douglas firs and pine trees, hence the name, but otherwise will not cause any damage to a home. And though it has a mouth, it will never bite to protect itself, The stink bug relys entirely on its smell to ward off pred- ators. Shepard explained that the high number of the irisects, as in the case of the caterpillars and wasps, is due to a mild winter. But besides their intimidating ap- pearance and bad odor when touched, they will do nothing more harmful than find a place in your home to spend the winter. d to elude her abductor oer Saturday and was reported unharmed. “Somehow or another she man- aged to grab the keys out of the ignition, jump out the car and take off,” said Sgt.

He said the man was not known to the woman, who was abducted Friday morning from a residence in Grand Forks.

Cominco hires 50 new people By CasNews Staff After a 17-week shutdown all Cominco workers who walked a picket line are back on the job and the company is hiring new people. “As of Wednesday we had hired about 50 people and we are continuing to hire,” Cominco spokesman Richard Fish told the Castlegar News. The hiring is a result of the onstruction of Cominco's new $171 Ftirillion niigdernized-tend- eur. reittly underway at the Trail plant. Fish said two years ago Cominco laid off construction workers who had been working at the plant. Because of senority, the workers were given jobs within the plant as operators. Now, with the start up of con struction on the new lead smelter, Fish said Cominco is putting the former construction workers back to work on the building of the smelter. He added that most of the people Cominco is hiring will be put to work as plant operators to fill the vacancies left by the tradesmen returning to the con struction side of things. While hiring at Cominco is con- tinuing, Fish said it is hard to put a total figure on the number of people who will be hired. The regular crews who had been working at the Cominco plants in Trail and Kimberley before the May 7 strike are back at full strength. Fish said that once the new smelter is finished in 1989 between 4 total of 2,500 to 2,800 employees will be working at Comin- co's Trail operations. Fish added that construction on the modernized lead smelter is going ahead. Wedding present 10 years late By RON NORMAN Editor Dale and Fred Planidin received 4 wedding present from her cousin this week. The only problem is the Blue- berry Creek couple were married 10 years ago. ‘The gift was mailed from Kelowna fot the Planidins’ July 16, 1977 wed- ding, but didn’t reach the newlyweds until Wednesday.

Dale says the post office ‘called her father Wednesday and asked - him ‘to pick up the gift. ‘The post office said the parcel had laid there for a decade because it went unelaimed. Dale says a post office worker suggested a key was placed in the Ady’s post box 10 years ago indi cating the parcel had arrived, but someone in the Ady family likely lost it. “We've got the excavation under- way on the oxygen plant. The des- truction of the old plant is about lete. We've begun on a new lead mill,” said Fish. He added that Cominco’s future is looking ‘strong and that the company has become a world leader in several “It (Cominco’s future) looks very bright in Trail; very bright. We're headed to being the advanced lead-zine plant in the forid: We're already the largest in the world. We'll be the most environmentally clean as well, which will come as good news to the people in this area,” said Fish. - He said Cominco, through “man- agement innovation” has reduced its crews to the “best size for operating our plants.” Fish said that Cominco now is in a position where it will be able to bring Rows Uncpempye We world es and zine market.

Student enrolment better than expected By CasNews Staff Student enrolment in Castlegar is down this year but the decrease is less than school board estimates, according to‘ superintendent of schools Terry Wayling. A total of 2.213 students were attending class in School District No. 9 as of Friday morning, compared to an expected total of 2,200. “It's not a significant number,” said Wayling. “But it’s positive in the sense that we didn't lose as many students ag we thought we would lose.” Wayling explained that in terms of the provincial funding formula, the full-timé @nrolment equals only 2,121.5. Wayling explained that the Ministry of LONG LOST GIFT... 10 years to.arrive.

Since the ministry allots between $3,500 and $4,000 per student, the total indicates the board may see an increase, using the funding formula, over its initial estimate of 2,100 students. Wayling said last year, the num- ber of students registered in Castlegar was 2,224 as of Sept. 30. But he said the total of 2,218 students may yet drop by Sept. 30 when the numbers are officially registered with the ministry. continued on poge AZ Dale ond Fred Planidin with wedding gift that took Corttows Photo by fon Merman “She was just totally floored,” said Dale. “We were just in stitches over i Dale says her cousin had forgetten what she got given.
