STEVE MELNICK, Retired longtime Robson ferry captain, has his own stories to tell about Jimmy Davidson, Castlegar’s first ferryman. Steve's memory about Jimmy was jogged by columns earlier this year on Davidson by CasNews columnist Jack Charters. One of Steve's favorites is the time a car with Washington licence plates wouldn't start after parking on the ferry for the trip across the Columbia. “Don't worry me darlin’, we'll get ye going again,” Jimmy assured the driver, dispatching a couple of ferrymen to give the fellow’s battery a helping hand. About a month later Jimmy and his wife were in Seattle when he toek a turn and went down a one-way street the wrong way. As cars honked wildly, Jimmy froze and stalled his car in the middle of the highway. A police car stopped and a huge, burly policeman approached the car.* “Don't worry me darlin’, we'll get ye going again,” laughed the tall man in blue who had been holidaying in British Columbia just a month earlier!

And, although it's not offi- cial yet; more teachers -have indicated that they will leave for reasons such as retire- ment and maternity leave, eliminating the board's need to cut 4.5 teachers to reach their 1984 budget guidelines. “I think it would be almost safe to say, unless someone changes their mind, we have our books balanced as far as layoffs,” said board chairman SHOP AT CASTLEGAR MOWHAWK GREAT VALUES!

A request by the Castlegar District Teachers’ Associa- tion to have a leave-of-ab- sence policy which would guarantee teachers their for- mer positions was denied by the board. The .board has always “guaranteed them a position in the district, but that’s all we can give them,” said Smecher. “It’s restricting us — it’s tying our hands too tight,” she said. The school board will do its best to have teachers on powers talking about nuclear arms control measures. The letters, sent last week, detail two of Trudeau's con- trol proposals outlined in a general manner during his, three-month international peace mission that ended last February, a Trudeau aide said Tuesday. The correspondence to Reagan and Chernenko is a new element in Trudeau's peace initiative, aimed at giving the United States and the Soviet Union a new basis _ for discussion, Trudeau spokesman Ralph Coleman said. Trudeau specifically men- tions ways to restrict the mobility of intercontinental ballistic missiles and im- provements in ways to verify future strategic weaspons. Coleman said the prime minister still plans to send Trudeau had hoped to send those letters-with the moral support of the three national parties. But attempts to get an all-party resolution. into, the Houge have been. by NDP insistence on adding three points to six main points in a resolution which Trudeau composed and sent to New Democrat Leader Ed Broadbent and Progressive, Conservative Leader Brian Mulroney. Sources said the Conser- vatives were willing to go along with the Trudeau resol- ution, although they. may have wanted some minor changes. Broadbent, however, wanted the Commons to urge the government to cancel further testing of the U.S. eruise missile in Canada within one year. ‘conducted over Western Can- ada in March. WANTS FREEZE Broadbent also asked that the resolution include a call for all countries with nuclear weapons to pledge not to bve the first to use nuclear wea- pons and a call for Soviet Union and the U.S. to begin immediately a nuclear weap- ons freeze, followed by mas- sive arms reduction. The letters Trudeau sent Reagan and Chernenko last week touch on two of the three “technical” areas Tru- deau focused on last winter; restricting mobility of inter- continental ballistic missiles, , better techniques for moni- toring production and deploy- ment of nuclear weapons and a ban on high-altitude anti- satellite systems. in the letters, Coleman said. Another major Trudeau proposal — a conference in- volving the five nuclear pow- ers, China, the Soviet Union, _ the U.S., Britain and France — is in the hands of UN Sec- retary General Perez de Cuellar. The 10 points Trudeau outlined and which he want- ed in his all-party Commons resolution included an ad- mission that nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought, a declar. ation that the world must be free of the risk of accidental war and of surprise attack, recognition of the dangers, inherent in destabilizing weapons and a mutual inter- est in avoiding the spread of nuclear weapons to other countries. WALLACE PEACOCK Chamber manager | By CasNews Staff Castlegar and District Chamber of Commerce has a new manager. oe He's Wallace Peacock, a 47-year-old, former purchas- ing manager. Peacock began his new job on Monday. He has come out of semi- retirement to replace former chamber manager Bob Stans- bury, who resigned last month after less than a year on the job. “I got tired of doing noth- ing,” Peacock said in stating his reason for becoming chamber manager. Peacock is no stranger to the community. He has re- sided here for 10 years, moving into the area from Kamloops to work on the B.C. Hydro/Kootenay Canal project. 4 WALLACE PEACOCK . New j: Commenting on the new chamber newsletter, Peacock noted that it was introduced on a trial basis, and said “under the circumstances, there's no reason why it can't continue throughout the sum- leave return to their “areas of expertise,” added Terry Wayling, schools superinten- dent. * 8 .

Box pleading guilty to possession of a narcotic in WOMEN'S ACCESS and in the Fine Woodworking class, female enrolment is increasing. During the discussion, college prin- cipal Leo Perra questioned the charge that college policies and practices work against women being in top positions. One committee member noted that many female ‘college employees are at the bottom of the pay scale, with the exception of cafeteria staff. Perra said there is no evidence that suggests the college is discriminating against women. “You are making an assumption that the college system has a responsibility to go out of its way to encourage (women). Why? “If you are going to convince the board to find a new direction, you must have a valid reason why colleges should adopt a pro-active stance when other institutions are not,” Perra said. One member, Marcia Braundy noted that there are affirmative action policies in every college in Ontario. One committee member said she didn't believe that a male counsellor could make the investment and com- mitment of a woman. continued from front page of men attending the college who would otherwide be working. He said the full-time female en- rolment in the current year has drop- ped about 40 per cent Storey noted 'there have been six women in the Training Access pro- gram, but only one has graduated. Three dropped out and two are still in the program. “We are not making great strides in non-traditional areas,” she said. However, she noted that in the new Computer Information Systems pro- gram, half of the students are women “Women have not had access to these programs for very Jong,” she said. “They need encouragement and development.” In the past, he has been active with the Cubs organ- ization and is presently vice- president of the Castlegar Rebels Junior Hockey Club. As chamber manager, Pea- cock says he will be out to promote the objectives of the chamber: To attract business to the area and to promote tourism. “One of the prime things I am concerned about is that tourism is about the third largest producer of money in the province. I don’t think we're getting full utilization of that,” he said in an inter- view. “I think publicity is some- thing we are going to work mer anyway to see how it will be received. That was the in- tent in the first place.” Getting members out to monthly luncheons will be another target for Peacock as manager. And he will work on getting prominent speak- ers at luncheons. He noted that this week's speaker, former Highways Minister Phil Gaglardi, al- ways attracts a crowd to luncheons. Another item high on the Peacock's agenda is finding another chamber facility which can be physically seen by tourists. Peacock said there have been several proposals, but nothing concrete has been decided yet. “Chamber offices do have a major purpose to serve in the community,” he said. “We (the chamber) started off big (when the chamber first began) and went into a bit of a lull. Now we're into the second stage of bringing it back to full force.” One of Stansbury’s prop- osals was to establish a com- mercial directory, but Pea- cock said he has no intentions of “cutting somebody else's grass.” He said he understands that a local organization is trying to produce a directory and he says the chamber is interested in helping them, not competing with them. Another item on his agen- da is the upcoming SunFest celebrations, which are scheduled for July 20 to 22. Peacock said he'll also con- tinue working to attract new members to the chamber. The chamber presently has 143 members. “It is (Castlegar) a very community-minded area,” he said. “A lot of people chip in and help out. If you utilize all these people and make them recognize what the chamber does then everyone will ben- efit. Captain Beds... 20” Color TW. rurciecooiet oo occ G.E. Frost-Free Fridge .ssicioo. oncom...
