Jack Allard, contacted at the Van couver head office of the United Food and Commercial Workers Retail Clerks, said the union was not infor med of the closure by the owners. Employees of the store, who asked not to be named or quoted, said they were told of the Wednesday upcoming closure Allard said he is ‘extremely disap} pointed” Super Valu took action “without warning’’ and did not have ‘the courtesy to inform the union Esther Wood, who owns the two Castlegar stores, said Friday she has no comment and will release a statement on the reason for the closure in the future. ~ George Wood president of Super Valu in Calgary, unavailable for comment Friday Bernie Kosiancic, the store manager, said the cashiers have been told there will not be openings for them vice was in the Castleaird Plaza store. Kosiancic said he and the meat department manager will be transferred. He would not comment further Richard Maddocks, development officer with the Castlegar and District Board, said the announcement of the closure was unexpected. “It came as a bit of a shock,"” he said economic Development The closure of the store will be hard ‘on people in the downtown area who normally walk to the supermarket, especially seniors, Maddocks said Maddocks also said he asked Esther Wood to send him the floor plans and other design details of the building because there are two companies in- terested in locating in Castlegar The companies may be interested in the Super Valu site, Maddocks said. ON ALL FOURS . . . 52-year-old Nick Cifarelli of Silverton makes his way down Highway 6 in the Slocan Valley on his hands and knees to draw attention to environmental concerns. CRAWL ‘JUST A MESSAGE’ By CLAUDETTESANDECKI Staff Writer Little things make the biggest impression on Nick Cifarelli: the offer of water from a stranger on the high way; the expression on the small, sharp face ofa fox as he sneaks a look at the road before crossing; pollution at its simplest level in the form of roadside litter carelessly thrown from passing cars And Cifarettt betieves that smatt actions cantead to" if we all stop buying our coffee in big. changes: turtle. with his crawl styrofoam cups, the world garbage problem will be reduced, and if Cifarelli crawls on hi from Silverton to Nelson he might make people stop and think about what is happening to the environment So Cifarelli is out on Highway 6, a small, thin man with grey, curly hair and a 14-kilogram pack of supplies on his back, crawling along as the cars and trucks whip by at 90 kilometres an hour “think about turtles every day that I'm out here, he says during a break north of Winlaw He also thinks about what he wants to accomplish People need to consider whai is happening to the continued on hands and knees I feel like a ge A2 SHUTTING DOWN the store will close Sept. 9. owners of the downtown SuperValu in Castlegar have announced Castlegar Guide gets rare chance By CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Staff Writer When Lorraine Paszty joined the Girl Guides at age eight, she thought the whole thing was “boring and dumb.”” Today, at 15, the Castlegar Pathfin der says she'd like to encourage Brownies and Guides to stay with the organization until they can have the chance to travel and learn about the world the way she did last month Lorraine spent two weeks represen ting B.C. in a group of 14 Canadian girls who travelled to a world guiding centre in Cuernavaca, Mexico The trip was the only one this year by a group representing all of Canada, she says, and commemorated the 100th birthday of the late world chief Guide, Lady Baden Howell “IL didn’t think I had a chance,”’ Lorraine says, remembering putting in her application to travel to one of seven guiding centres in November along with Guides from around B.C Just making it to the provincial level of judging is an honor, she says, since there are only about 100 applications left in the running by then The requirements are stiff, Lorraine says, as awarded for reference letters and points are taken points are LORRAINE PASZTY represents B.C. off if the application is filled out in anything but black pen Each applicant must also write a paragraph about why she thinks she should be Lorraine listed broadening her horizons and making new friends as reasons for wanting to go, she says. chosen She was notified Feb. 14 that she was going to Mexico, she says, and after brushing up on Canadian and guiding history and attending a briefing in Vancouver in April, she left for Toron- to June 29. Her experience was a hands-on ver- sion of what she says are the goals of Pathfinders — to learn about the world and world concerns, learn leadership skills and prepare for the future. Lorraine says she was shaken to learn how many people in the country live in poverty — 60 per cent of Mexico City alone — but she also found herself feeling at home in the world’s most populated city “*I felt comfortable — I could have stayed there forever.”* The city isn’t dirty the way people think, Lorraine says, but it is formal A woman chewing gum in public is considered a prostitute and “people wear dresses to the 200,” At the guiding centre, Our Cabana, the Canadian girls learned about those who live in poverty as they Worked with a Mexican youth group building houses for the poor out of waterproof cardboard Such structures would be against the Canada, Lorraine says, and it felt good to be ‘doing it for someone who needed it.” useless elements in continued on page A2 Cool weather gives firefighters a breather «By CasNews Staff temperatures last a much-needed break for firefighting crews in the Arrow Forest District, the district's fire information officer said Ted Evans said Friday a major fire in the district near Nakusp was contained earlier in the week With the low ceiling we had trouble getting to it but Friday we had 37 men in a mop-up situation,” Evans told the Castlegar News Evans said the cooler weather has been a big help “Everyone in Nakusp is getting a bit of a breather,"’ he said However, crews are still on standby as a warmer trend is expected through the weekend, said Evans. Cooler provided “Wee still have 13 helitack crews on standby and we haven't cut down on staff. In anticipation of more fires we want to keep capability available.”” In the Arrow Forest District, Evans said there have been 172 fires to date this year and 160 of those have been at tributed to lightning. He also reported that 26 fires are still burning. Total area burned for the district stands at 100 hectares and Evans credits the Nakusp fire with destroying this Although a campfire ban is still in effect, Evans said the fire hazard in the district has dropped — temporarily — tomoderate. Statistics in a Ministry of Forests news release indicate the Nelson region has more than doubled the amount of fires it had reported last year at this time There were 386 new fires reported last week and 225 fires are still burning The total number of fires this year is now at 674 compared to 175 fires at this time last year. Total area burned for the region is 1,637 hectares while this time last year only 271 hectares were destroyed by fires. The total number of fires to date across the province is 2,630, up from 1,011 fires last year, according to the press release. The total area burned is 16,899 hectares, over three times what it was last year at this time when only 5072 hectares were burned. There were 813 new fires last week and 736 fires are still burning throughout B.C.
