It is estimated the city needs to spend $700,000. to bring the building up to stan- dard. And: that,. according to Alderman Perry Long, chair- man of the Civic Centre com- mittee, is about $700,000 more than the city has in excess | funds, The list of the ceilings need to be drywall ed for fire protection. Essential improvements to the dressing rooms and wash- room facilities will cost an estimated $198,000. Improvements to wash- room and shower facilities in the small arena will cost $23,000. Since 1985, when the Civic Centre was designed, building and fire safety codes have changed considerably. The fire department now Voice of the People says there are not enough fire exits in the event of a blaze. The Cambrian study notes due to the location of the Civic Centre and its layout, it is absolutely impossible to pro- vide the additional exits as requested by the fire chief. Simple improvements to existing exits will cost in the neighborhood of $28,000. ‘The atudy also raised ques- tions about the condition of lines in the boiler room and the piping.

Due to the fact that my name also is Janet Popoff I have suffered from the bad publicity. Currently I am in my graduating year at the Univer- sity of British Columbia in Vancouver. I have received several letters from friends commenting on this issue and now that lam home my parents informed me that they have received many phone calls as a result of that article. I would appreciate and feel . that I am entitled to a public apology from your newspaper. The case is one of mistaken identity and my reputation and future career will be damaged if this matter is not cleared up. In your next issue of the Castlegar News please attend to this matter.

Stocan Valley School Spirit Alive Under the enthusiastic di- rection of a new principal, Tomo Naka, Mt. Sentinel's Students’ Counci! began with great zest, School spirit, ‘pre- viously lacking as a result of last year’s standstill, this year is slowly surfacing with the introduction of more extra- curricular activities, The school’s first endeav- ors, Fundays, proved success- ful. One features the teachers in a “battle” against the stu- dents’ council; the other in- volved the rigorous competition of the. school's three house teams, This sports fun hour was followed by an evening dance featuring a local band, Krystal Blue. Since then, events such as a walk-a-thon (which raised over $1,000), a Slave Day, Grade Seven Initiation and a Christmas dance were held. The students’ council has also initiated a weekly club activity period for Thursday after- noons. All students have been programmed into various clubs, Some of the clubs are: powder puff mechanics, dancing, cook- ing, arts and crafts, drama and hiking. An evening Christmas con- cert was held Dec. 15. The program included the school singing group, a band perfor- mance, drama and novelty skits. The students’ council now has a skating party scheduled for the last day of school before the Christmas holidays and a disco dance is planned for Jan. 8, ‘Not only do activities such as the walk-a-thon and dances promote student involvement, they also help to pay the many expenses of the students’ coun- cil, The council is still making payments for a van which is Tillie Verigin Wins Hospital Madonna The draw for the Madonna was held at the December meeting of the Women's Aur- ilary to the Castlegar and \ District: Hospital, with - Mrs. your presses in this case of mistaken identity, but we feel it necessary to point out provin- cial court personnel: have re- fused to list ages, places of residence or any other details which might distinguish defen- dants from their namesakes, on the grounds -that providing such details would be too time- consuming.
