The most popular event was the first annual drag boat races. More than 3,000 people lined the banks of the Columbia River to watch 15 boats roar over the quarter-mile course. The races lasted more than four hours. The Sunfest parade was a huge success again this year, with more than 70 entries and over 800 people taking: part in the event. Participation was almost equal to the record- breaking numbers in last year's parade, which had a large mili tary participation, according to the Sunfest organizer Marilyn Strong. Many of the entries were decorated in Sunfest’s Austral ian theme. The Grand Parade Marshall this year was Aus- tralian Consul General David Combe, and special guest was Ernie Dingo, the Aboriginal star in the movie Crocodile Dundee . Strong said Dingo really en. joyed taking part in the parade. “He'd never been in a parade before,” said Strong, adding Dingo was amazed at the crowds which lined the parade route.

Ashok Narang, chairman of the joint management committee which oversees the mill's operation, made the comment during a dinner meet img Monday with Castlegar council. “He said they didn’t want to shut it down,” said Ald. Terry Rogers, “but the stumpage rates forced it down,” Ald. Bob MacBain, acting mayor in Mayor Audrey Moore's absence, headed the council i which cuss the woodroom closure. But in a letter to the board, Narang pointed out, “the subject of discussion is not the woodroom shutdown.” He said instead, council and the committee planned to focus on long-term plans for the mill. “The woodroom closure was unfor. tunate, but the government stump age changes forced us into it,” he wrote, adding: “Celgar handled the situation with due consideration as far as the mill employees are con- cerned.” Narang said the committee's time in Castlegar was “limited” and sug. gested the board meet with pulp mill Wilf S y or his staff to imeluded aldermen Patti Richards, Lawrence Chernoff and Albert Cal- derbank, in addition to Rogers. Narang and the other members of the management committee were in Castlegar for their quarterly meet ing. But while the committee met with council, it refused to meet with Castlegar school board The school board requested a meeting with the committee to dis- discuss the woodroom issue. Rogers said he pointed out to Narang in the four-hour meeting that the increased stumpage fees have been more than offset by increases in pulp prices. Rogers noted that the stumpage fee increase has added about $4 a tonne to the price of pulp. However, he said that amounts to only one-half a per cent of the total price of pulp. ACCESS COMMITTEE SAYS More funds n By BRENDAN NAGLE Staff Writer ‘A report by an access to education committee for the Kootenay region has suggested the provincial govern. ment provide more funds for post secondary education in the area. Elizabeth Fleet, Selkirk College board chairman and chairman of the regional access to education commit tee, said the main response from the people questioned dealt with inequi ties in the costs of education access. “I think the whole disparity be. tween the financial burden for stu dents from the Interior attending university compared with students on the coast was the thing that seemed to come up the most,” she told the Castlegar News Tuesday. The it independence” regulations when as- sessing eligibility for student loans and equalization grants; “ e reimbursement of tuition fees for students who achieve very highly; © revision of regulations controll ing the drawing of unemployment in surance by students. Other recommendations include: working harder at improving facilities for’ special needs groups; © paying more attention to inform. ing potential students of available programs; e investigating the demand for more Adult Basic Education courses in the evenings. The committee spent about 21/2 months gathering information on that the provincial government allow an income tax deduction for students entering third- and fourth-year uni versity who live outside commuting distance from a university campus. The report also suggested a “Pass. port te University” program which gives financial credits to students who attend rural or remote college for the first two years of university transfer. A credit of as much as $4,000 could be awarded for each of the first two years and be available to the student for the third and fourth years.

Robson residents are stil! guarding the ferry around the clock while waiting for word from the provincial News today. Vanderpol said he isn't expecting any response from the government today because of the provincial by- election in the Boundary-Similka. meen riding. “We are expecting some form of communication from the government after the byelection,” he said. The province wants to sell the ferry to the City of Castlegar or the Regional District of Central Koot- enay — or both — and has offered the vessel for $1. The province also sug: gested the ferry operate as part of the local transit system making it eligible for government funding. Robson residents have refused any option except resuming the, service as a responsibility of the provincial Highways Ministry. Ministry of Highways spokesman Val Richards said, to her knowledge, nothing has changed in the ministry concerning the ferry. ions for bridging financial barriers in accessing edu cation include: more bursaries and scholarships offered to students at the entry level; © federal and provincial govern ments consider changing “student post y education from indi viduals and groups in the Kootenay region. Questionnaires were dis tributed and public meetings held in 10 communities in the Kootenays during the committee's fact-finding mission. Because of the large area the com mittee was split into two separate tees. One ittee worked in the East Kootenay and one in the West Kootenay, with each group numbering four or five people. Fleet said the report is one of eight submitted from the eight regions across the province. The provincial government will examine all the reports and their recommendations, she said. But she also cautioned that the reports made recommendations, not demands of the government “What we're suggesting will not necessarily come to pass,” she said Sunfest lottery runs into snag By BONNE MORGAN Staff Writer Suinfest organizers “goofed.” After announcing the winning number for the first prize in the Sunfest lottery draw, organizers realized they had made a mistake and awarded the trip to Australia to someone else. The trouble came as each of the four winning digits from separate containers was drawn and announced over CKQR radio. The winning four-digit number was over 7,000. But there had been only 7,000 but tons manufactured. “We realized there was an over sight,” said fundraising chairman Jim Ferrier. It was decided that the winning number would be 7000 since the last button printed was numbered 7000 and the number picked was over 7000. But after locating the winner, verifying ownership and awarding the prize, CKQR listners started telephoning to complain about the way the draw was made, said Ferrier. Organizers then decided to seek legal advice about the first prize, worth approximately $4,000. “We made a snap decision, and after checking with legal counsel we were told it was the wrong one to pick,” said Ferrier. He said that in picking number 7,000 they had reduced the chances of winning from one in 7,000 to one in seven. “We made a mistake; we goofed,” said Ferrier. So, organizers went back on the air, explained the error and made another draw that afternoon. The next number drawn was §127, sold at Super-Valu. But Ferrier says he doesn't know if The Festivals Society will be respon. sible for two trips to Australia. At the same time, pulp prices jumped seven per cent in January and have risen twice since then, he said. Rogers said Narang acknowledged that in good times stumpage rates do not pose problems, but said the rates beeome problems in difficult econ- omic times. “We had a fairly long discussion on the woodroom,” added Rogers. He called the discussion “real hon- est” and said Narang “didn't duck anything.” “We weren't there to be negative,” Rogers added. “We were there to be positive, and yet to state the concerns of the area.” MacBain agreed. “Ithought the meeting was ex- cellent,” he said, adding later that the management committee was “very straightforward.” Rogers said the question of an ex- pansion for the mill was also raised. And while Rogers said Narang didn't commit the company to an expansion, he said “if they find all the things are continued on poge A2 eeded “But we have given a variety of different suggestions and we hope that some notice will be taken of at least some of these.” Of the 150 questionnaires handed out, 110 were returned to the access committee and Fleet said she was pleased with the interest shown for education accessibility in the area. “We were very pleased with the response in the questionnaire re- turns,” she said, adding the public meetings were also helpful in pre- paring the report. “The people that made it to the public meetings had significant contributions (as well).” INSIDE De Biasio wins Open page B!
