Luella Andreashuk called it quits on Dec. 13, six months after taking over from Bev Kennedy, who resigned in March. “I was running into burnout,” An- dreashuk said. As for future plans, Andreashuk said she'll start thinking about that after the Christmas season. “I don't know,” she said, “We'll see.” “I’m just getting ready for the holi- days.” Chamber executive member Jim Craig said he'll miss Andreashuk. “Tm sorry to see her go,” he said, “She was a real asset to the chamber.” First vice-president Ron Armbruster said the chamber is taking steps to fill the vacant manager's position. “We're in thé process of formulating a plan for a new manager,” he said. Citizens rally for Kinnaird @ Castlegar council criticized for not providing proper maintenance to aging Kinnaird Scott David Harrison EDITOR Jim Chapman is on the hot seat. The Castlegar alderman has become the target of criticism following com- ments he made about the state of Kin- naird Hall. At council Tuesday, Chap- man called the aging hall “a write off.” Those three words have captured the ire of more then a few residents who want the aging hall preserved as a her- itage site. “I was very upset when I read that,” resident Rose Paszty said. “Kinnaird Hall is not a write off and it wouldn't be in this shape if the city had spent the money needed to maintain it.” The fate of Kinnaird Hall jumped into the spotlight Tuesday when council dis- cussed three plans for the 50-year-old structure. They included upgrading the hall at a cost of $79,000, applying to the province for heritage status or destroy- ing it. Although council will not make a deci- sion on Kinnaird Hall until January, the thought of tearing it down has touched a nerve with some. “Council has not seen fit to do upgrad- ing year after year,” Paszty said, “now all they want to do is a quick fix. That's not right.” Paul Oglow agreed, saying the possible destruction of Kinnaird Hall would mark the end of era in Castlegar. “(City officials) don’t understand the blood, sweat and tears that went into building this hall,” he said. “It was all vol- unteer labor, people working out of the kindness of their hearts. How can you de- stroy that.” Oglow said he has already watched Castlegar dismantle one part of history when it tore down the old library. He says he won't let it happen again. “Council was negligent in not keeping the hall upgraded, now it wants us to pay for their mistake by tearing Kinnaird Hall down,” he said. “I am opposed to that.” please see Kinnaird Hall page 2 HE NEWSPAPER YO E COME HOME TO FOR 44 YEA
