CASTLEGAR NEWS, December 2, 1981

Street talk

SOME PEOPLE are plain lucky. And in some cases,
that lucky streak runs in the family,

Take Mona Taack’s son, Danny, for example.

While Mona always seems to come back from Reno
with more money than she takes with her, Danny finds
his luck on mountaintops.

He and his fiance, Sharon Pereversoff, were snow-
mobiling late one afternoon at “The Norns” up Pass
Creek. As darkness started to settle in they engaged ina
snowball fight — and Sharon lost her engagement ring.

The next day Danny returned to the site, filled the
back of his pickup truck with snow, and parked the truck
in his parents’ driveway.

A couple of days later the snow had melted — and there
was the engagement ring on the floor of the truck!

IN THE USS, it is said that General Motors wins every
election no matter what party, Republican or Democratic,
forms a government.

In Castlegar, it might be said the Castlegar Kiwanis
Club wins every election!

Retiring Ald. Charlie Cohoe, a past-president of the
Castlegar Kiwanis Club, reported at council's last
meeting that a member of his club will continue to sit on
council with his voluntary departure.

Bob MacBain, who topped the Nov. 21 aldermanic race
for a two-year council term, is himself a former Kiwanis
Club president, and takes office Dec. 7.

Cohoe notes that a Kiwanian has been on council “for as
long as I can remember.”

Present Kiwanians and former mayors Nick Oglow and
Murray Little served stints on council. The late Aage
Sylvest was an active Kiwanian and served as mayor,
while Kiwanians Jim Corbett and Andy Shutek (both also
former Kiwanis presidents) have served as aldermen.

And for good measure, Ald. Carl Loeblich (longtime
Kinnaird Mayor) was at one time a Kiwanian.

Talk about community service!

A GRADUATION ceremony was held recently — but
not at Stanley Humphries Senior Secondary. It was at the
Celgar pulp division, when two apprentices achieved
journeyman status.

John Nenard completed his millwright Apprenticeship
Nov. 26 while Glen Akeel:
apprenticeship a few months ago —on ans “3.

BOB RIVERS (former personnel manager for BC
Timber's Celgar lumber division) and his wife, Connie,
recently celebrated the 27th anniversary of their arrival
in Castlegar.

It was a very, very snowy night on Nov. 9, 1954 when
they arrived in Castlegar, recalls Bob. He says Castlegar
wasn't even on the road map (although Kinnaird was),
and they ended up at the “free” ferry (as the road map
listed the Robson ferry).

Bob asked now-retired ferryman Steve Melnick where
Castlegar was. Steve's reply (with a chuckle): “You've
just passed through i it.’

Bob Says he does recall having noticed the Marlane
Hotel signs, so they passed back through the downtown
core and overnighted at the Twin Rivers Motel, owned by
Ed Herman ( who first came to Castlegar with Inland
Gas, stayed to start a realty company, and who
subsequently moved to the Lower Mainland).

Bob and Connie had their cat in a box on top of their car
and Ed suggested they put it in a shed behind the motel.

Just as Bob let the cat out of the box, it leaped over his
shoulder and out into the night.

Bob followed its tracks through the snow, and suddenly
noticed water. The cat had gone down the bank behind
the motel and Bob — in the darkness and the snow — had
followed it down to the famous Columbia River!

SIGNS OF bigger things to come at the Castlegar
Airport. Firefighters and maintenance, who were housed
in the maintenance garage, are now calling the former
Adastra Aviation building home.

The next move for the firefighters will be the new
firehall for which the federal treasury board has okayed
funds. Street Talk understands soil tests were taken for
the building Friday with tenders to be called early in the
new year.

HAVE YOU NOTICED Broadwater Ave. across the
river is cleaner now? Well, it is.

The road used to be littered with debris (cedar bark
and such) from logging trucks taking logs from

Keenleyside Dam through Robson and Brilliant to
Nelson's Kootenay Forest Products mill.

But Central Kootneay Regional District director

Martin Vanderpol suggested at a recent district meeting

that Highways be sent a letter complaining of the logging

litter on the road.

The letter seems to have done the trick, because the

road certainly is free of debris now.

ANEW COAL packaging business is opening Saturday

at Cascade near Christina Lake. The business — called

Burn-a-box — will be officially opened and started up by

Jim Hewitt, agriculture minister and Boundary-Simil-

kameen MLA.

The plant will employ five people to start, with more

added as the operation grows.

The plant will package “sub-bituminous” coal pur-

chased from a Calgary coal company. The coal is

Wraps up constitution

OTTAWA (CP) — The
Commons wrapped up the
historic constitutional debate
Tuesday amid continuing
signs of resistance in Quebec,
the Senate and the British
Parliament.

“I'm very relieved,” New
Democrat constitutional
spokesman Jim Fulton said
late Tuesday night as the
bitter 14-month parliament-
ary marathon finally ground
to a halt.

“Some Canadians think we
have frittered away impor-
tant time . . . and frankly I
agree with them.”

MPs from all three federal
parties were prepared to
vote today against the pack-
age, worked out Nov. 5 by
Prime Minister Trudeau and
all provinces except Quebec.

But the overwhelming ma-
jority of Liberals and New
Democrats have_ said they
will back the resolution and
all indications were that most,
Progressive Conservatives
will join them.

The government had
hoped to have the new con-
stitution on its way to Britain
by the weekend.

But the Senate decided
late Tuesday night to impose

the Quebec national as-
sembly voted 70-38 for a mo-

Quebecois “bottom line” de-
mands for joining the new
deal.

In a Telex message, Tru-
deau formally rejected Que-
bec’s claim to a constitutional
veto, saying there is no basis
for it in either law or con-
vention.

In Ottawa, Serge Joyal,
minister of state for con-
stitutional affairs, said the
federal government will not
intervene in Quebec's court
bid to determine whether it
has a veto over constitution
change.

And Ottawa will not refer
the matter directly to the
Supreme Court of Canada to

Plan looks at devlopment

A comprehensive planning
program for the Slocan Val-
ley to be put before the
provincial cabinet next
spring may provide the
framework for 15-year de-
velopment in the valley.

The study is unique be-
cause it is the first co-
operative effort of its kind

ators, miners, advocates of
increased tourism, fish and
wildlife groups, and the gen-
eral public.

TORONTO (CP) — Volks-
wagen Canada Inc. has an-
nounced a recall of 53,000
Rabbit and Scirocco cars
which aims at reducing hydo-
carbon emissions from gas-
oline engines on the 1977 to
1979 vehicles. The voluntary
recall will be carried out by
Volkswagen dealers with no
charge to owners, the com-
pany said in a news release.
Volkswagen said dealers will
install new valve stem seals,
which had been used in the
cars since 1980, to cut back
emissions.

More thermal
coal shipped

to Korea

VICTORIA (CP) —.Crows
Nest Resources Ltd. an-
nounced Tuesday the sale of
an additional 100,000 tonnes
of thermal coal from its mine
in southeastern B.C. to the
Ssangyong Corp. of South
Korea.

The new order was an op-
tion in Ssangyong’s initial
10-year contract for 250,000
tonnes a year -beginning in’

arly 1982. The initial con-
tract was announced last
month.

Crows Nest is completing
construction of the thermal

land and use plan,
‘and guidelines for economic
diversification of the Slocan
Valley.”

The valley has a population
of 4,780, according to 1980
statistics, of whom 78 per
cent reside outside munici-
palities.

A good deal of settlement
in the valley — particularly in
the southern end —— has been
haphazard in. retent! years.

Among other things, this
has resulted .in emerging
problems of water supply,
where residents draw their
water from areas that the
forest industry says it needs
for logging.

The most contentious issue
is the future of the Valhallas,
a scenic mountain range on
the west side of Slocan Lake.

The Valhalla Wilderness
Society, based in New Den-
ver, wants the area main-
tained solely as a_ tourist
attraction, with only limited
access and facilities for visi-

of decadent cedar and hem-
lock stands.

TSA, the Ministry of Forests
said removal of the Valhalla
area would reduce the short-
term (20-year) supply by
21,023 cubic metres a year, or
3.5 per cent of the total. It
would also cut the long-run
sustainable yield by 4.2 per
cent.

The Arrow TSA is short of
timber, said Ellen Rogers,
planning forester in Castle-
gar.
