ITY,
‘The Skyway, which is part of
Stag Leap Park, is Canada's
highest cast-west pass at 1774
metres. Much photographed
Brida Lake is on the summit.

BONANZA PASS

The old route up the lake to
the ferry landing is still highly
recommended. Now called
Highway 3A, it - continually
twists. over and above the
lakeshore, offering at every turn
a feast for the eyes.

Another high and beautiful
section of Highway 3 is the 47
kilometres between Christina
Lake and the junction of
Highway 3B, 26 kilometres west
of Castlegar. Its Bonanza Pass is
marked at 1535 metres.

At Nancy Greene Lake is a
inci where

‘ 8
stretch is 38.8 kilometres long,
some 28.6 kilometres shorter
than the old route which gocs
from Castlegar down through
Trail and Fruitvale and on to
Salmo.

MAGNIFICENT VIEW

From the 1215-metre-high
summit there is a magnificent
view of the Castlegar area and
surrounding mountains.

The opening of the 82-
kilometre-long Skyway meant
that travellers no longer had.to
drive up the west side of
Kootenay Lake to Kootenay Bay
where they would have to wait
for a free ferry ride across to
Balfour before heading down to
Nelson and thence westwards.
The new. link, skirting thé
southem tip of the big lake,
chopped off at least 70
kilometres to the Salmo junc-
tion, not to mention time lost

P
‘one can go fishing or swimming.

If you tum off Highway 3 on
to Highway 3B, the route goes
by Red Mountain, one of
Wester Canada’s best-known
ski areas, and then curves above
Rossland. Any stop on this
stretch offers mountain scenery
at its best.

BACKROAD HEIGHTS

East of Rossland is the old
route of Highway 3, now an
extension of 3B, which goes
through Trail and then on to
Salmo. Another option is to take
Highway 22, which forms the
main street of Rossland, up to
Castlegar.

All in all, there is a variety of
scenic loops you can devise for
yourself by consulting your road
map and combining both high
and low roads.

That is not to mention the old

Cascade Highway which is no

longer found on road maps. This
is only recommended for hardy
backroad adventurers in sturdy
vehicles,

The Cascade goes from
Rossland to Christina Lake but it
is only maintained to the homes
in the Big Sheep Creek Valley
‘on the other side of the First
Summit near Rossland.
Motorists continue farther at
their own risk.

TWO SUMMITS

First Summit is one of two
summits on the Cascade. The
other is Santa Rosa (sometimes
called the Second Summit) near
Christina Lake,

Despite ‘its.. roughness, this
seldom-travelled backroad en-
ticed the Vintage Car Club of
Canada to sponsor a drive over
its entire length in 1977. But
before th trip was undertaken,
club, members cleared the
highway over the Santa Rosa.
‘The'trip took 4% hours over'the
64-kilometre-long road.

For more top scenery in the’

West Kootenays, take Highway
6 up.the Slocan Valley and along
Slocan Lake to New Denver and
then head east on Highway 31A.
to the turnoff to the ghost town
of Sandon.

SHORT HIKE

Beyond Sandon the dirt road
curves .up the side of Idaho
Mountain towards a lookout.
‘When the road ends, there is a
short hike to see the sweeping
view of the Slocan Lake and its
small villages, the surrounding
mountains, and the New Denver
Glacier on the far side of the
lake. Here there are also alpine
meadows.

Of course, climbing to the top
of mountains inva car is the
ultimate luxury in mountaineer-
ing. You experience great
scenery going up and coming
down, And even though you
may be taking a high shortcut, it
is difficult to be ina hurry when
the impulse is to constantly stop
and take out camera. :

Cherry Fruit Fly Fight;
Control Sprays Advised

M. J. Sanders, P. Ag.
District Hortleulturist

Cherry fruit flies damage
cherries by infesting cherry
fruit with white maggots or
worms. The adults ‘are now
active, so control sprays should
be applied, .

Growers who are trapping

‘frult les with ‘aticky boards

can delay spraying until they
catch a cherry fruit fly or until
16 days before harvest, but
those not using timing dovices
should spray as soon as pos-
sible,

Probably the most effec- -
tive material for cherry fruit fly
control is dimethoate, which
can be purchased under the
brand names of Cygon or
Rogor. On cherries which re-
ceived good fruit fly control last
year, only one dimethoate’
spray will be required, but
where a heavy infestation oc-
curred two sprays will be
needed, the second being ap-
plied 16 days after the first
application. .

For cherry fruit fly control,
dimethoate must be sprayed to
the trees and not on the bark.
Do not apply dimethoate within
15 days before harvest.

Dimethoate
Application Notes
Larger Plantings: Rogor
four pounds per gallon, EC at
two pints per acre or 10 fluid
ounces per 100.gallons of water;
or Cygon 4.8 pounds per gallon.

EC at 82 fluid ounces per acre

or eight fluid ounces per 100
gallon of water.

Smaller Plantings: Cygon
26 at one teaspoon per. gallon
of water; or Rogor four pounds
per gallon, EC at ‘teaspoon
per gallon of water; or Cygon
4.8 pounds per gallon. EC at
teaspoon per gallon of water.

Growers who decide not to
use dimethoate can use Diazi-
non, Perthane, or Sevin. These
materials must be applied
every, 10-days and re-applied
after rains, so up to five or six

sprays may be needed under
this control program,

On cherries, do not apply;
Diazinon within 10 days of
harvest; Sevin within one day
of harvest, or Perthane within
two days of harvest.

1 Remember to read all
pesticide labels for dosages and
directions.

Information on cherry fruit

fly contro! can be obtained from .

the B.C. ministry of agriculture
in Creston.

Try a Soak
It's Better
Than a Shrink

a soak instead of 2
shrink the next time pressure
wrings you out,

That advice comes from a
medical practitioner, Dr. Paul
Fleming of Raleigh, NC.

The recommended soak

_ takes place in a hot tub, a huge

redwood, or cypress vat or your
own bathtub filled with pul-
sating warm water-ranging in
temperature from 100° to 106°.

“I don’t need a psychiatrist
because I've got the oppor-
tunity to get rid of my tensions
the same day, not let them
build up,” Fleming says.

He uses his tub to relax
after a day's work.

“If you've ever been in one,
you'll know it’s the most re-
laxing thing imaginable. It’s the
most natural form of relaxation.
You can't imagine how that

" 100° water can feel circulating

around you. It's over-whelming.

The hot tub is an expen-
sive item — anywhere from
$1,600 to $2000 — that ori-
ginated in California and is
making its way across North
America.

Tubs are normally made of
redwood in the West, but at
least one eastern supplier is
fashioning them out of vypress,
