But that family would still be richer — at least in an environmental sense — than it is today, says Carl Sonnen, author of the study and vice-president of the Ottawa-based economic resear- ch firm. “While it reform) BRIEFLY From Wire Service Beer worth $1.2 billion to B.C. VANCOUVER — The beer industry was worth $1.2 billion to the B.C. economy last year, the Brewers Association of British Columbia said. Production, distribution and sales of beer accounted for 1.6 per cent of the gross provincial product, the association said in a news release. British Columbia bucked the national trend, with domestic beer sales increasing 6.1 per cent, against a Canadian decline of 1.9 per cent last year. The B.C. government collected $306.4 million from beer, most of it in sales taxes and the rest in taxes from employees and companies. Per capita beer consumption in British Columbia amounted to 79.24 litres last year, Ps with 80.16 litres nati . British Columbia ranked fourth among the provinces in terms of per capita won’t make us poor, it is going to for- ce us to make a whole bungh of choices,”” Sonnen said in an inter- view. The study — one of the first to at- tempt a full accounting of reforms proposed by environmental groups — estimates the total cost would come to $84 billion during the 1990s. Sonnen’s study is based on gover- nments imposing state-of-the-art limits on water and air pollution, in- cluding measures to cut carbon dioxide emissions 20 per cent by the year 2005. More than half the total cost would go to curbing carbon dioxide, con- sidered a major cause of global war- with the highest at 87.47 litres and Saskatchewan lowest at 58.29 litres.

Heather Brady, nursing supervisor, reported that 23 personal emergency response systems have been installed in area homes. These systems have provided a very valuable service to the Castlegar community and there is still a definite need for ongoing funding of the per- sonal emergency response systems. Meals on Wheels coordinator Sally Schatz said eight additional volunteer drivers are required to assist the 44 volunteers who delivered over 3,100 meals to area homes this year. Craftsman “recognized for efforts By JOHN CHARTERS Gordie Hill, a seven-year volunteer craftsman for the Castlegar Heritage Advisory Committee and subsequen- tly the Castlegar and District Heritage Society, was recognized for his efforts recently by the Heri British Columbia at its 1990 conven- tion in Surrey. Hill, who came to Castlegar from Vancouver to retire eight years ago with his wife, Alida, has spent and continues to spend, in spite of serious illness, thousands of hours of volun- teer time on heritage work projects, as well as other community work. This year the Castlegar and District Heritage Society executive submitted Hill’s name in competition for the prestigious Award of Honor for Per- sonal Achievement, offered by the parent society. The winner, a Grand Forks woman, had 40 years of writing and working on heritage in that area. The announcement of Hill's award was acknowledged on his behalf by delegate John Charter. Hill became involved in volunteer heritage work when, seven years ago, the Castlegar Rotary Club decided to restore Zuckerberg Island, which has been purchased two years earlier by the city, as a park but through lack of funds it remained undeveloped. All the tables, benches, directional signs, cemetery and Stump Woman canopies, Chapel House shutters, porch and considerable interior work was done by Hill. The club recognized his efforts by making him an Henorary Rotarian. Michael’s Nuggets AFFORDABLE GEMS Three bedroom home in desirable hospital area, $39,900.
