(CP) — Wild whooping cranes made whoopee like never before this year and Ernie Kuyt of the Canadian Wildlife Service is delighted. Kuyt said the cranes, which have been struggling against extinction since their world population fell to 15 in 1941, paired off in unpre- eedented numbers at their nesting sites in Wood Buffalo National Park, on the Al berta-Northwest Territories border. Of 75 birds that flew into the park last summer 58 mated and all but one of the couples produced the cus tomary clutch of two eggs Twenty-five of the eggs were collected, transported to Idaho and put into the nests of greater sandhill cranes at the Grays Lake National Wildlife Range Previous transfers of eggs into Idaho have resulted in a new population of about 30 birds. It is hoped the Idaho Kuyt said although some egg failed to hatch in Wood Buffalo this year and a few eggs and chicks were lost to predators, habitat conditions were amost perfect for repro- duction. * Big jobs or small jobs Ph. 368-5911 BEST * All Brand Names Serviced © All Parts Stocked © Rebuilt Timers * Used Appliances & Consignments * Coin-operated Machines * Industrial Laundry FULL LANDSCAPING SERVICE (COMMERCIAL OR RESIDENTIAL (FREE ESTIMATES CHANG’S Nursery & Florist Ltd.

Ernie Mills, 69, of Castlegar, helps six-year-old Jason, o student at Kinnaird Elementary School, sf 7 cross the road. Crosswalk patrols have been helping out students since Monday CoahewsPhoto Safety patrol started By CasNews Staff Castlegar students had been walking safely to school — with the help of special friend since Monday That's when crosswalk supervisors clad in reflectot jackets began pa trolling Columbia Ave. at the 2400 block, and 10th Ave. at 24th St., in front of Kinnaird Elementary school. The volunteer crosswalk patrols will continue indefinitely, said Kay Johnson of the Kinnaird/Valley Vista parents $26,000 This represents 42 per cent of the goal. group. They kicked off part of a month long traffic safety program by the Kin. naird/Valley Vista parents’ group, with help from the Castlegar RCMP. According to spokesperson Johnson, the crosswalk patrols are a necessity She said a common problem with unpatrolled crosswalks occurs when a motorist stops for a child “The children start to cross the road, and a car passes (the first car) from behind,” she said Johnson said the group hopes to have a patrol on Highway 3 at 10th Ave. in the future As well, the parents’ group will recommend that the City of Castlegar put new crosswalks on 23rd St. near Kinnaird Park, and on 24th St. at Col parents’ umbia Ave. this spring Other aspects of the group's safety program for Kinnaird and Valley Vista schools include: e having parents fill out a question naire on traffic concerns; © holding a 30-minute session in classrooms on traffic safety coaching children on bicycle and crosswalking procedures. Johnson said the volunteers who include five senior citizens and Grade 6 students from Kinnaird — patrol the crosswalks in the morning, and the afternoon. She added that another of their functions is to jot down the license plate numbers of dangerous drivers and give them to the police Hatfield drug case looms over meeting FREDERICTON (CP) The New Brunswick Conservative caucus at tempted to conduct business as usual today at @ meeting marked by a mood of uncertainty over the RCMP drug in. vestigation of Premier Richard Hat field. Municipal Affairs Minister Yvon Poitras, taking a break in the routine, day-long meeting, said the Tory mem bers of the legislature want the air to be cleared. “There's an uneasiness because like everyone else we're simply waiting to see what's going to come out of it,” he said. Hatfield didn’t attend the meeting, the first since he confirmed Monday that marijuana had been found in his suitcase during the Queen's visit. He denied the drug was his. Caveus chairman Bev Harrison said Hatfield hadn't been expected at the meeting because the members were not dealing with matters that needed his attention. Leaks from sources continued, with a Fredericton radio station reporting that Hatfield has been fingerprinted voluntarily although the results have not been disclosed. CFNB also quoted a source in the federal Solicitor General's Department as saying the RCMP doesn’t believe the drug belonged to Hatfield The RCMP investigation is still going on, a month after it began. A spokeman for Solicitor Genera! Elmer MacKay said the RCMP, in conjunction with the federal Justice Department will decide whether to lay charges. Dalton Camp, a close friend of Hatfield's and a former national presi dent of the Conservative party, said Tuesday the RCMP told the media about finding the marijuana within two hours of the discovery and it was “pr to be prej LL A bag containing 26.5 grams of marijuana, was found in a pocket on the outside of Hatfield's suitease on Sept. 26.

Council gave third reading to a bylaw rezoning the six-acre parcel from light industrial to comprehensive commercial. But the mall still faces a major obstacle. The Ministry of Highways says a four-way intersection and light on Highway 3 is required to provide access to the mall site. The intersection is included in the ministry's latest overall plan for a new highway interchange. The plan also includes a new road connecting Highway 3 near the mall site and Columbia Ave. near the Valley Maid store. However council opposes the intersection, saying it is unsafe to have a light on Highway 3. Instead, council has proposed a three-way intersection without a light. The intersection would include on and off ramps allowing vehicles to exit from Highway 3 via an overpass. Traffie would then follow the new road to Columbia Ave. However, council’s proposal is more expensive and would mean using a portion of the eliptical site for the intersection. Commercial Properties Ltd. which owns the eliptical site and has proposed the mall, appeared at the public hearing Tuesday to speak to the rezoning application. Charne said three major pension funds will help finance 2 Be mll, which will employ “at least” 150 full- and part-time a ‘mali will improve shopping facilities in Castlegar and inereasé annual property taxes on the site from about $21,000 to $150,000, Charne said. IF RULING ENFORCED Charne added that his company owns 15 large shopping centres around the province, including one in Courtenay and another in Penticton. “In every community we are a good corporate citizen,” he said. However, Charne said the company faced two problems when it first proposed the mall: expensive off-site require ments and access to Highway 8. He said the off-site requirements totalled $918,000 “which made the development we proposed not economically viable.” And the Highways Ministry would only address the access problem once the-site had been Charne also passed on a veiled warning to council about the interchange proposal. He said he met with Highways officials in Victoria who indicated that “there are nutherous other (interchange) locations in the province which are a priority.” Charne said the ministry told him that council's inter- change proposal would likely not be completed for years, “if ever.” Charne added that his traffic consultants do not believe a four-way intersection with a light is necessary to provide adequate access to the mall, and said he will be trying to negotiate that point with ministry officials. But Ald. Albert Calderbank said Charne appears to have a misconception about the interchange. Calderbank said changes to the in’ were not initiated because of the proposed rezoning of the eliptical site. “It had nothing to do with this property.” nk pointed out aut putting a four-wily fiiter continued on pege A2 Students face walk By ADRIAN CHAMBERLAIN Staff Writer Up to 100 secondary school students in Castlegar could be trudging to school through the snow this winter instead of riding the bus if the Castlegar School District decides to enforce a 10-year old regulation. In the past, B.C. students who lived closer than 4.8 kilometres to school weren't eligible to ride school buses, but were allowed to because school districts didn't enforce the rule. In Castlegar, about 400 of the 1,200 students who ride buses are in this category, according to transport super visor Philip Konkin. Some districts, such as Surrey, have decided to change that, because the Edueation Ministry is apparently strongly recommending the “two-check rule.” The rule means drivers are only al lowed to fit two students to a seat, unless three can fit in with no “cheeks” hanging out into the aisle. Elementary school students can fit in three to a seat, but secondary school students can only fit two to a seat, ac cording to Motor Vehicle Branch regu lations. This cuts the loading capacity of some buses carrying secondary school students by a third But Castlegar school board chairman Doreen Smecher and school superin The Ministry of Education has rec- ommended that the overload of stu- dents who live within 4.8 kilometres should walk to school, aceording to ministry spokesman Dick Melville. Smecher said the board hasn‘t ‘con- sidered making students within walk limits make their own way to school, “and at this point in time, we're not prepared to.” She said she was unaware of an overloading problem “If we have serious overloading on our buses now, we'll go to our walk limit,” she added. There are now 11 buses in the dis- trict, said Konkin. One is a 72-seat bus, nine are 66-seat buses, and one is a 35-seat bus. inside EXTRA HOUR: Remember to set your clocks back one hour Saturday night becouse daylight savings officially ends at 2 a.m Sunday morning. Change will give residents extra hour of sleep. tendent Terry Wayling say the district has received no directive regarding bus loading from the ministry Smecher said the board has allowed students living within the 4.8 kilometre radius to take buses because it's “safer” than walking Konkin said about 100 secondary school students would fit into the over load category if the seating and walk limit regulations were strictly fol lowed. He said although some routes are still being adjusted, the “majority” of buses are filled to capacity, with the exception of one bus which carries NEW LIBRARY?: Castlegar council, the library board and the chamber of commerce will meet Monday to discuss 0 new library for the Community Complex site LIFE TERM: A 21-year-old man has been given life in prison for killing on 80-year-old Creston man BIG MONEY: Petro Canada's chairman and president moke three times as much as the prime minister, according to figures released by Prime Minister Brion Mulroney GATOR TROUBLE: Fender-benders are one thing, but Utley Larkins of Port Charlotte, Flé., went outside to find o three-metre-long alligator with a firm grip on his cor “Ht just reached up and grabbed the front bumper said Lorkins, whe estimated the hole the creature left in the grill of his cor would cost $350 to fix Lorkins, 6. word he awoke to o racket that sounded like A2 a2 ‘This might be a conversation piece streets have no sidewalk, and some house. students going to Kinnaird Junior Secondary would have to cross High- way 22. the reptile. alligator thrashing in the garden ond banging its head ogoinst the It took four police officers and an alligator trapper to hondle ball against the house, then he sow the ee
