For Painting Says: D'Arcy ” Rossland-Trail MLA Chris ‘D'Arcy says that ministry of highways paint crews started ‘work last week on repainting lane markings on area high- ways, The yellow dividing lines :and the white passing lanes and shoulder markings have faded -badly during the winter due to .» ‘road salt and sand and general wear. The condition can be ‘dangerous, especially in wet ‘weather, and is particularly ‘difficult for out-of-area drivers who are not familiar with the iroads, D'Arcy added that we are fortunate to be the first district in the region to have a repaint- ing program this spring. The concrete work neces- ** gary to complete the Glenmerry pedestrian underpass will start ~* next Tuesday and be completed by May 11, barring unforseen problems, This work will be done by highways district crews, Camp Koolaree Announces New Schedule Camp Koolaree Release The dates for the 1979 summer season at Camp Koola- .. Tee, situated on the West Arm: of Kootenay Lake seven miles east ‘of Nelson, have been finalized, and feature a junior camp for boys aged 9-12 from July 22-28, a junior camp for girls aged 9-12 from July 29 - . Aug. 4, and two family camps from July 16-21 and Aug. 6-11, respectively. The camp, which is open to people of all faiths, is sponsored by the Kootenay Presbytery of the United Church of Canada and has a long history of pro- viding wholesome summer- . camp experiences for a great number of area young people. Offered in the program are * such things as nature lore, handicrafts, sports including archery, softball, volleyball, « hiking, and, under the super- .o’vision of a qualified life guard, tu ~boating, canoeing, and swim- _rming. The well-supervised camp also features bountiful fresh air for healthy sleep, and evening campfires to round out the pleasant days. Something ew and dif- ferent being offered by Koola- ree this year are the two week- long family camps. Family- based activites are being sought by more and more ‘people in today's stressful “ ‘world and Koolaree’s unique - setting on the edge of an “unspoiled wilderness adds the . finishing touches to an ex- cellent opportunity for indul- . gence in a long-to-be-remem- a -bered family experience. While the activities for ., these family camps will, in _ some ways, resemble those of _ the youth camps, part of the + programs offered will be cen- red around the family asa whole, and part will be or- ae ganized by age groups. Some time will be set aside for parental discussion groups to focus on living as a Christian "family in today's world. Ample time will be provided for just enjoying the natural beauty -* and tranquility of the sur- roundings. Areal plus for mothers will '” be the provision of all meals by -the camp kitchen staff so that all participants can relax and * truly have a holiday. As in all camps, each individual will be expected to share in the other camp chores which, when done as a group, usually prove to be more fin than work. Since the camp is some- what limited in the number it “can accommodate, an early . registration is advised. Regis- .‘tration forms are available through most area elementary schools, and all local United _ Churches. For further information, +. please contact Mra. L. Vital in Nelson. Persons interested in _ .participating as camp leaders ‘should contact Mrs. P. Robin- 2+" gon at Fruitvale. " SHUT UP AND KEEP BAILING tf THERE'S ANYTHING hi HATE IT'S A QUITTER!

The regional beard adopted a loan authorization bylaw and - gave’ three readings to two securities issuing bylaws for the spending of $70,000 on equipment and $50,000 on a firehall to serve the area between the Keenleyside Dam and Brilliant Elementary School. Interviewed last week before the meeting RDCK administra- tor Reid - ing officer of the plebiscite in which 188 out of 254 ballots cast by area residents favored the expendi- ture — said the loan authorization bylaw should be in effect by May 11 unless a significant number of Robson area residents apply te the B.C.

The company should at least have guaranteed a supply to the city until it eliminates its debt, he said. “All this agreement pro. vides us with is it lays down terms if we get water from CanCel for 25 years,’ after which we pay a proportionate share.” But according to Duncan, it would any'company making, a new facility available to the city.to leave itself open to. disputes ‘over a 20- -year- -old agreement. “Like in any settlement and negotiations, both parties always attempt to resolve un- resolved disputes,” he said. “That's common in labor rela- tions or any matter. We wanted in good faith to assist the city in the best way we could but we didn’t want to leave any ex- posure to further disagree- ment.” “What we're getting is 10,000 gallons per minute of water as long as it doesn't affect CanCel in any way, shape or form," Embree said. “And they're not even putting in writing that they're guaran- teeing it.” Embree cited Section 19 of the agreement, which protects CanCel from any liability for failure to satisfy the terms.of the agreement as a result of any unusual events, forces beyond its control, or a lockout. “In other words, they could lock out their employees and lock out the city,” he said, But Calderbank claims the company is only taking pre- cautions normal for any utility. “What the company is basically saying is that you're not going to be able to sue them he said. “But immediately when the city water is threatened you can deal with it through the Municipal Act and the Water - Rights branch and it becomes an essential service. Essential services always operate and staff has to be provided to keep it going.” Calderbank said he wanted to see the final agreement before deciding whether it is strong enough for the city to . discard the 1960 pact, but” pointed: out that the city solicitor told council the- old agreement is “a very shaky thing and the only thing it would do is probably tie us up in court for two or three years.” “But it has a sort of moral obligation attached to it and it: affects the corporate image if: they {CanCel) fiddle around with it,” he explained. “It's certainly been strong enough to get us where we are now.” He stressed that the com- pany did not bear total respon- sibility for the problems result- ing from Castlegar's withdraw- al from the Columbia as a water supply.
