Gairns’ interests range from Big Brothers to scouting and the Rotary. “T've been involved in the Big Brothers since it was formed in the Yukon,” he says, while his days in scouting date back some 30 years. As well, he has taken an active part in the Rotary Club's international student exchange program. In fact, his daughter was an exchange student to Brazil. “| really enjoyed that,” says Gairns. He said it ea a good way to become impressed with young people. “ just renews your faith in human nature.” However, he notes that he may not be as active in Castlegar because of night meetings and other municipal commitments. “I'm not sure what I'll get involved in here.” Joining Gairns on senior city staff is George Reshaur. The 66-year-old Reshaur takes over from Igor Zahynacz as Superintendent of works and services. Reshaur comes from Nanaimo where he lived for four years. While there, he worked for the City of Nanaimo before taking on a position with a consulting engineering firm. But Reshaur says the recession hit the engineering business very hard and he was laid off. “When the old economy fell apart, so did the job.” Reshaur, too, comes to Castlegar with vast experience in municipal government.

Turnbull said she is uncommitted, adding it is premature to make a de- cision. “It is at that time that I will want to assess and make an intelligent decision as to who will be the best leader,” she said, adding that she considers a vote a “very precious commodity.” Husband John Turnbull uncommitted.

Federal deficit climbs OTTAWA (CP) — The federal deficit climbed to a record $29.38 billion during the year ending March 31, but the figure is $2.12 billion less than was forecast, gov- ernment figures released to- day show. SPRING COLOR during our ANNUAL SPRING SALE! ALL WINDOW COVERINGS The Finance Department cautioned that the figures are preliminary and could be ad- justed substantially before the final version is released in mid-Augus' Finance Minister Marc La- londe predicted in his Feb- ruary budget that the deficit for fiscal 1983-84 would be $31.5 billion, up $200 million from the deficit projection he had made in his previous budget. Some analysts had sug- gested even before the deficit figure was revised upward that Lalonde was perhaps exaggerating its size. Informetrica Ltd., an Ot- tawa-based private forecast- ing firm, said before the last budget that the deficit could come in as much as $2 billion under the $31.3 billion orig- inally estimated. Lalonde has stuck to his $31.5-billion projection and defended its record size on grounds that economic con- ditions, which have led to stubbornly high jobless rates and weak investment, have forced the government to in- crease its spending. The latest deficit figures show government spending in 1983-84 totalled an esti- mated $84.324 billion, while revenues were $54.944 bil- lion. Figures available at the same time last year for fiscal 1982-83 showed spending reached slightly higher than léted 15 minutes of con- tinuous exercise. The community with the greatest percentage or res- idents taking part will be de- clared the winner. So Castle- gar residents are urged to call 365-3386 to notify the recreation department they have completed their 15-min- ute exercise. Participants can undertake any physical activity that makes your heart beat faster — like walking, swimming, jogging, and cycling.
