Heritage Rivers Board is being established to actively promote a high level of stewardship for the most signifi cant rivers across the province “British Columbia's rivers are the lifeblood of the land,” said Environment Minister Moe Siho- ta. “These rivers need to be pro- tected for future generations. The B.C. Heritage Rivers Board will provide that protection.” The board will be a public advisory board providing advice and recommendations to govern- ment regarding river recognition. The board will have five mem- bers, including Mark Angelo A seat on the board will identi- fy provincially significant rivers, in terms of their ecological, his. torical, recreational or cultural value. The board will then recom- mend to cabinet that these rivers be recognized as heritage rivers. This recognition will + Provide greater emphasis and focus for key rivers within exist- ing planning processes around the province; + Help ensure the integrity of those features which have deemed the river significant; + Help develop a greater con- stituency in support of rivers. “The B.C. Heritage Rivers pro- gram will be just one cOmponent of the government's overall strat- egy for British Columbia's rivers,” said Sihota. “Other gov- emment actions Such as the Water Protection Act, tighter restrictions Editor Wanted— person news department.

Several of these rivers will be identified in the next four months. Sihota stressed that the B.C, Heritage Rivers Board is not another layer of government, but will act as an advocate for the recreational, cultural, commer- cial and biological values of British Columbia's rivers in existing planning processes. “In typical land-use plan- ning, the emphasis is on the land, while rivers are consid- ered to be passing through thé land,” said Sihota. “In reality, the people of this province are heavily dependent on the health and welfare of our rivers, which support our drinking water, fisheries, hydro-electric, agricultural, forestry and recreational needs. “By ensuring the integrity of these many values, we will be able to ensure both the ecologi- cal and economic sustainability of the communities that depend on British Columbia's working Almost 20 years ago Castlegar resident Irene Gallo started a musicianship award at Twin Rivers School in appreciation of the excellent program her children benefit- ted from. Irene Gallo is now deceased, but her children continue donating the award so that other students might be recognized for their overall efforts in music class. This year there were two winners of the award, Terri Todd (|) and Jennifer Postnikoff. Presenting the trophies and award is music teacher Bob Bertuzzi. We weld anything...

CHINESE & WESTERN CUISINE dead trees and then hauling them up a 45 or so degree ravine and river bank is not everyone's cup of tea. For about 18 students, six wecks of hauling slash and debris will be worth it. They have work this summer. Cedar Crest Trailer Court man- ager Barbara Twymar ts birding up to [8 young men and women to clean up the bank and ravine from Hunter Place through to the north edge of Cedar Crest’s prop- erty along Columbia Ave Working in five groups, they are clearing slash, hauling logs and debris, as well as garbage that has been dumped over the bank during the last 50 years. “The kids are just great”, she said. “They work hard, they're finding old tires and bottles and they've rigged up a rope pulley system to haul the slash and junk up to the top.” Once at the top, slash and debris will be piled in several locations and a dumpster will be brought in to haul it away. “We have the cooperation of the Castlegar Fire Department, Forestry, and Fisheries,” she said. Fisheries was called in because at the bottom of the ravine is a creek bed, dry right now, but a Worth the work potential fish area. The work is being done at the request of Gerry Rempel, Castle- gar’s fire chief. Responding to tenant's concerms of potential fire hazards along the bank, Rempel sent a letter to the owners asking that all the wood-waste be **cleaned up immediately and that a defensible space of 5O.metres down the slope, be created as a fire block. Due to the thickness of the brush and the slope of the bank, which in some instances is more than 50 per cent, the defensible space will pro- vide some fire protection for the residents living there. “This is an interface area,” said Rempel, “an area where brush encroaches on urban. We work a lot with Forestry to service these interface areas.” Work it is. For these young people it's an opportunity to phys- ically work hard, use their math skills to figure out angles and levers and to work cooperatively with others. When completed, they'll have the satisfaction of experiencing a day's work for a day's pay and the knowledge that they contributed to the clean up of the environment It's hard to ask for more.

Trustee Evelyn Voykin point- ed out that district policy for- bids alcohol on any school sites, and requested that the commission be sent a copy of the policy. “The concern is that there might be beer gardens. We don’t allow alcohol on school premises,” said Voykin. Secretary-treasurer John Dascher, quickly dispelled Voykin’s fears. “These kayakers are strictly tea and juice drinkers”.
