By RON NORMAN Editor: Castlegar school district this week: received approval from the provincial Ministry of Educatian to proceed with some $865,000 in capital expenditures.’ But that was less than 18 per cent of the total the school district had requested. Secretary-treasurer John Dascher said Friday that the district had asked for more than $2 million in capital expenses. Included in that $2 million total were 88 separate items. Of those 38 items, the ministry approved 12 and rejected 26, Items given approval included a new hot water boiler, IR EREINET UoFa yr HANI SME 65; 000 | yudget approved Secondary School. Those improvementa will cost about LESS A T8 pOP EH PEASE Ste OIF $165,000. As well, SIISS will receive a new milling’ machine and its Physics 11 equipment will be upgraded — totalling $16,120. Other items approved by the ministry included: $50,000 for emergency lighting for Kinnaird Junior Secondary School, $2,600 for emergency lighting for Woodland Park Elementary School; nearly $10,000 for equipment for Silver Birch school; $96,000 for a new 6€-passenger school bus; $21,700 for a new administrative computer; about $400 for special education; $2,500 for the district's.visually impaired; $56,200 for renovations throughout the district; and $15,900 for fees and contingencies. Dascher said the provincial government was tougher this year in its approval! of capital programs, probably. because the district's enrolment isn’t increasing. He noted Fernie had an increase in its capital expense budget but also had a large influx of conditioning, and conversion of the old art room and changing rooms. All three requests from Robson Elementary were rejected, including a physical education storage room, roof He said the ministry only approved “the bare easen- tials.” Some of the iteris rejected included: at SHSS — a new staffroom, upgrading of the changing rooms, a dry lumber shed, a storage addition, improved janitorial area, an addition to the gymnasium, upgrading of the activity room and removal of the existing field equipment building. At Kinnaird Junior Secondary a new art room was rejected, along with an addition to administration, and ding of the gym walls. At Shoreacres Elementary the physical education storage room was rejected.

ROBSON RESIDENTS Water still a premiers By CasNews Staff Robson residents continue to be plagued with water problems. On Tuesday ‘residents of; the townsite ‘and the west side of Robson were without water for.a few hours be- cause of a break in the water line. Robson Irrigation District chairman Fred Zibin would not comment on how the line was broken. The water has also been quite murky for some resi- ‘dents this week. Zibin said the reason for the sediment in the water is the spring run-off. He says the problem occurs every year for pbout two weeks, but is now clearing up. Meanwhile, Robson and Raspberry residents who get their water. from Pass Creek are advised by the West Kootenay Health Unit to boil. their water not only during the run-off but at ‘all times because of the high coliform content, In his annual report, health unit, chief) public health: in- spector Mike , Harnadek stated that of the 44 water samples collected in the Rob- son and Raspberry Irrigation Districts, 31 — or 70 per cent .— were “positive.” “Positive results indicate that coliform bacteria were Present in ‘the sample an- alysed,” Harnadek said. “Human and animal sew- age always contains large _ of coliform b: derived from surface water sources should receive dis- infection as a minimum treat- ment, When asked about the soil and vegetation may also contain ‘coliform bacteria. “Discovery of these bac- teria in drinking water is an indication of pollution from human, ‘animal, soil or vege- tation sources.” The results mean thatthe drinking water in Robson- Raspberry that comes from Pass Creek does not meet Canadian guidelines for bac- | teria counts. . The Canadian guidelines, which the West Kootenay Union Board of Health has adopted, state that not more than 10:per cent of samples taken over a 12 month period should show the presence of coliform organisms. Samples taken in the Rob- son-Raspberry area show that 70 per cent of the sam- ples had coliform. Of the 31 positive samples, eight were found to have a total coliform density greater than 10 per 100 ml. : If more than five per cent of the samples in any conse- ecutive 30-day period have a density this high, disinfection is required, Harnadek said. He noted that all supplies ion problem, Zibin “replied, “So is everywhere else in B.C. (contaminated).” He noted that there are 72 contaminated irrigation dis- tricts in B.C. “We- definitely care about it,” he said. “We are going to do something abou tit, but we're not sure (what will be done).” “This has been going on for 50 years,” he added. But the Robson and Rasp- berry Irrigation Districts are not alone. Only three of the West Kootenay’s 21 water districts had coliform counts that meet the Canadian guidelines of less than 10 per cent. The problem isn’t as sev- ere for residents who get their water from upper Pass Creek. Harnadek reported that coliform bacteria was present in three of six samples taken from the Sentinel Mountain Water system, though none of those three samples had a total coliform density greater than 10 per 100 mil. The Castlegar water sup- ply drew the best results in the annual survey. Of the 31 samples taken from the Lo- wer Arrow Lake, - none ‘Bear problem not| as bad this year Castlegar's bear problem isn’t as bad this year as last, showed the p of coli- form bactet “ Meanwhile at Deer Park, twhere residents get. their water from Deer Park creek, the health -;-1 4 showed that two of the nine samples taken had coliform bacteria, though none had a total coliform density greater than 10 per 100 ml. In other results, the Gen- elle water ‘system, where residents get their water from China Creek and one auxiliary well, had 29 of the 42 samples showing a coli- form bacteria — or 69 per cent, And nine of those 29 positive samples had a total coliform density greater than 10 per 100 ml. In the Glade Irrigation District, where residents get their water .from Glade Creek, 21 of 36 samples showed coliform bacteria in the water — or 58 per cent. Of those, nine had a total coliform density greater than 10 per 100 mL Finally, the Tarrys water system, which gets its water from Tarrys'Creek, had nine of 31 samples with coliform present. Of those nine, just one had a total coliform den- sity greater than 10 per 100 ml, ding to the Ministry of Environment. District conversation offi- cer Wayne Campbell said this week he didn't know the exact-reason-for the drop in the number of nuisance bears in the area, but suggested one reason may be the in- creased effort the Central Kootenay. Regional District has made in maintaining the Ootischenia dump. The regional district in- stituted regular closing hours and hired a maintenance man i last area but couldn't locate the bear, so a trap was set and the bear was captured. — The other bear was caught June 8 in Hunter's Trailer Court behind the Twin Riv- ers Motel on Columbia Aven- ue. The bear was getting into garbage cans and bins at the motel. Campbell said there have been a few other complaints, but no traps have been set. He noted that almost all black bears are destroyed where they are a problem, - unless the circumstance is very exceptional, such as a bear in good shape, or a sow with cubs. But he said these ig its fall in Nelson provincial court of violating its pollution con- trol permit. During that case, court was told that as many as 70 bears had been shot at the dump. The dump had been left’ open and uncovered ‘at the time. This year, only two black bears have been removed and destroyed in Castlegar — both in the last three weeks. The first was May 29th from 1845 Grosvner Place, near the highways ministry yard. “The bear was in the gar- bage, and among and around the area fairly constantly,” said Campbell. The RCMP went to the are “almost non-existant.” Grizzly bears on the other hand are treated differently because the number isn’t that great and they don’t create many problems. The Kootenay Region Operational Policy dealing with nuisance bears states that the provincial Ministry of Environment staff will continue to place a high priority upon translocation of grizzly bears. Campbell noted that when residents call to complain about black bears, it means the bear will be destroyed.
