Local kids treated to
Brown Bag Blues

The multi-talented duo, Linda Rogers and Rick Van Krugel, enter-
tained an enthusiastic crowd of Twin Rivers Elementary School chil-
dren in the Castlegar Library with a show called Brown Bag Blues.
Wearing home made masks and costumes, they were dinosaurs needing
to floss with brown string or trees flinching’ away from a chain saw
chicken but the wacky comedy contained some serious messages.

This exciting event was sponsored by the League of Canadian Poets
Linda Roger's books of Poetry for children, ‘Worm sandwich’ and

President and Chief Executive Officer
of West Kootenay Power, Joe Drennan,
has officially retired from his duties
effective September 30

Drennan had been employed with
WKP for 27 years, the last 12 of which
as president. During his tenure as
WKP’s senior officer, Drennan distin-
guished himself by successfully guiding

WKP through two transformations: the
first in the early 1980s when Cominco
Ltd., then WKP's parent, set the utility
apart from its mining ope ons.

That meant WKP was required to pur
chase its power generating facilitics
from ‘Cominco, enter money markets to
raise Capital and set up all its own head
office support systems.

Before WKP had an opportunity 1
settle the effects of the first transforma
tion, the company was faced with an

even greater change. WKP was sold in
1986-87 to UtiliCorp United Inc. of
Kansas City, Missouri

WKP was UtiliCorp's first venture in
Today UCU operates
nd Mexico in
United

a foreign country
in New Zealand, Europe ar
addition to Canada and the
States

Drennan was honored by UtiliCorp in
late August when WKP’s new head
office in downtown Trail was publicly
dedicated as the J.A. Drennan Building

During his tenure as president, West
Kootenay’s customer base grew by 33
per cent: from 86,700 to 115,000. Its
revenue grew to $99 million annually
and investment in plants to improve reli-
ability totalled more than $100 million

In 1989, Mr. Drennan was elected
chairman of the Canadian Electric Asso-
ciation (CEA), the first time in the 100-
year history of the national organization
that an officer of West Kootenay Power
had been named to the top post

Explaining auto insurance options and packages

it part of the basic Autoplan pol

Submitted icy in 1991. There are some

UMP options available from
Autoplan brokers, such as cover-

age up to $2 million.

While many motorists think
of the basic ICBC auto insurance
as a form of utility bill that
allows them to license and oper-
ate their vehicles, it is, in fact, a
powerful package of coverages
that provided protection in-a
number of ways

The basic Third Party Liabili
ty Coverage of $200,000 ploc
tects you from financial ruin up
to that amount if you happen to
be in the wrong place at the
wrong time and cause an acci
dent that kills or injures some
one or damages their property
ICBC statistics show that nearly
two thirds of the people who

cause accidents cach year have

been otherwise good drivers for
many their

years prior to

mishap, and may never have

considered the value of the cov

Another valuable part of the
basic coverage in B.C. is protec
tion from hit and run

In many places in North
America, you have to pay for
Collision Coverage in order to
get an insurance company to pay

for repairs to vehicles damaged
by unidentified motorists. How
ever, this coverage only applies
if the incident occurs in B.C. you
need optional Collision Coverage
for hit and run protection in other
jurisdictions

Another part of the
Autoplan package consists of
No-Fault Accident Benefits, so.
named because anyone injured in
a motor vehicle accident is cov
ered for medical and rehabilita
tion expenses of up to $150,000
no matter who caused the
mushap. There are other benefits
too, including help to replace
wages lost due to injuries.

A more recent addition to the
basic package is Underinsured
Motorist Protection. UMP pro-
tects everyone in a BC-registered
vehicle up to $1 million in the
event they are injured by a
motorist who does not have
enough Third Party coverage to
pay all the claims. This coverage
also extends to all members of
