Driving

A local CounterAttack
won't be trying to scare the heck out
of people any more.

Instead, the Castlegar safety com-
mittee will be rewarding sober drivers
with prizes which will include, as
grand prize, a trip for two to Van-
couver.

The promotion is part of the new
attitude of the local safety committee
which works in conjunction with the
provincial government’s CounterAt-
tack program now in its 14th year,
aimed at stopping drinking and
driving.

The committee, which has
operated in Castlegar for several
years, revealed its new ideas and new
personnel at a meeting April 2.

The meeting kicked off the spring
CounterAttack program which will
begin with a banner-taising ceremony
near city hall on April 12, at 12: 30
p.m.

This year’s spring CounterAttsck
runs from’ April 13 to May 4.

Jan Wise, ICBC manager for
community programs in traffic safety
education, is the new program
manager for the committee.

Other members include RCMP
representative Stan Schmidt, local
businessman Serge Plotnikoff,
Castlegar fire chief Bob Mann, Ald.
Kirk Duff, hospital -representative
Les Allen, John D’Andrea from
Ceigar and Dennis Tucker from B.C.
Tel.

Plotnikoff and Schmidt came up
with the plan to reward rather than
try to scare people.

“If drivers go through clean at
Police check stops an entry form will
be given to them to win a trip for
two to Vancouver,”’ Plotnikoff said
at the meeting.

Duff said Celgar was receptive to
the idea when the company and city
council met to discuss it earlier in the
month.

For this year’s spring CounterAt-
tack, police are expecting to stop
more than 250,000 drivers provin-
cewide and road checks for the first
time will be using roadside screening
devices, Consumer Minister Jim
Rabbitt said in a news release.

tester that allows an officer to
determine whether a driver has been
drinkin.

Campbell nixes leadership bid

OTTAWA — Federal Justice
Minister Kim Campbell has ruled out
a bid for the leadership of the Social
Credit party in British Columbia.

“I don’t have any particular en-
thusiasm to do it,’’ Campbell said.

Campbell entered federal politics
in 1988 after two years as member of
the B.C. legislature under former
Socred premier Bill Vander Zalm.

He stepped down in disgrace last
week after he was found to have
violated conflict-of-interest
guidelines in the $16-million sale of
his Fantasy Gardens theme park to a

Taiwanese billionaire.

““['m very content doing what
I’m doing,”’ she said. ‘I’m very con-
cerned that British Columbia have a
strong voice around the national
table.”’

Campbell expressed concern that
the party’s caucus appointed Rita
Johnston as interim leader even
though she has not ruled out a bid
for the leadership.

“IT just think it’s a dynamic that
doesn’t communicate the highest
standards of fairness and impar-
tiality,”’ she said. ‘‘For the party it’s

very important that they consider
how the public regards all of this."’

The new leader will be chosen at
the party’s convention in Vancouver
on July 18-20.

Campbell, who held the post of
executive director to former premier
Bill Bennett, was a surprise candidate
in the 1986 leadership campaign that
saw Vander Zalm take the party’s
reigns.

Campbell, 44, said she thought
seriously about running but decided
she is where she wants to be.

Official Cowboy Poet’ — will hitch up his wagon
and head to the O'Keefe Ranch in Vernon for the
first official Cowboy Poetry Gathering and

Show on May 24-26,

Conkin, the subject of a CasNews profile Nov.
21, 1990, has been a feature poet at gatherings
throughout the U.S. Northwest and Canada.
Deciding the time was ripe for a gathering in B.C.,
Conkin is producing the Vernon event along with the
O'Keefe Historical Society.

Prominent cowboy poetry writers and readers
from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and
the Northwest United States will be featured at the
Friday and Saturday night big-tent performances.

that expresses the same ideals as the cowboy pottry
— an appreciation for the land, sky, waters and
animals of the range, the lifestyle of ranching folk
and the self-reliance and individually of all who live
that life.

Saturday night will also find buckaroos and
buckarettes at the chuckwagon for a western
barbecue and two-steppin’ at the evening’s dance.

The trappings show will present western fine
artists, sadd! braiders, si iths and other
related art forms.

AGNES RUZICKA of Grand Forks became the
first player at Spokane Indian Bingo to win the
$100,000 MegaCash jackpot.

She won the jackpot April 6.

MegaCash is the matinee version of MegaBingo,
a bingo game broadcast by satellite and played by the
general public on Indian reservations and in
charitable bingo halls nationwide. Its nightly jackpot
is the largest in bingo history.

“*At first I couldn’t believe I had really won,”’
Ruzicka said. ‘Although my mother passed away last
year, I won on her birthday. I know she had
something to do with my winning.””

Ruzicka said she plans to use the money to do
some work around the house and buy her husband a
new truck.

Ruzicka received $1,000 cash on the night she won
and will be presented with a cheque for $99,000 at a
presentation to be held at Spokane Indian Bingo in
Chewelah on April 13.

CASTLEGAR’S STEVE BOZEK was Steve
Armitage’s guest on Hockey Night in Canada during

-the intermission between the third period and
overtime in Monday night’s game between the
Vancouver Canucks and Los Angeles Kings.

Bozek, looking dapper in a suit and tie, was
sitting out the game because of a rib injury.

“It’s a lot tougher being up in the stands than
the bench,’’ the Canucks’ left-winger said. “‘Up in
the stands you're just a wreck of nerves.”

Bozek had high praise for Canucks goalie Kirk
McLean who played his first game since he was
injured in early March.

“*It’s a real tribute to the quality goaltender he
is," said Bozek as the two teams entered the overtime

tied 1-1. ‘When he’s on his game, he’s the best
goaltender I’ve ever played with.’’

Asked to pick who'd score in overtime, Bozek’s
roots showed.

“Greg Adams. He’s a Kootenay boy like myself.
I think he’s got one in him.””

Bozek had the right team but the wrong player.
Cliff Ronning scored the winner as the Canucks beat
the Kings 2-1 to take a 2-1 series lead into tonight’s
fourth game in Vancouver.

SUSAN LYNNE KNUTSON a Stanley
Humphries secondary school grad, has reached
another milestone in her academic career by earning a
doctorate in English at the University of B.C.

Knutson, an assistant professor at Universite
Sainte-Anne in Nova Scotia since 1988, has a long list
of academic successes dating back to her days at
Selkirk College where she was on the Dean’s List of
Students in 1971. She earned her bachelor’s degree
and master’s degree, both in English, at Simon Fraser
University. She has been awarded numerous
fellowships over the years and has had several articles
published in academic journals.

INFORMATION supplied to the Castlegar News
last month by Malaspina College near Nanaimo was a
little off the mark. Gord Edmondson is actually a
former resident of Trail, not of Castlegar. He
attended Selkirk College in Castlegar.

Edmondson is part of a federal Department of
Fisheries and Oceans project which succeeded in the
first-ever captive spawning of Fraser River white
sturgeon.
