into Evergreen Natural Foods. And in that year,

their commitment to natural foods and
wholesome products has grown.

For those who haven't been to Evergreen Natural
Foods in Crescent Valley in the last few months, one
of the first changes to notice is the new shelving.

“We respond to customers who ask us for certain
products. We'll source the item and then stock It,
said Dave Mason, owner (along with wite Kit) of
Evergreen Natural Foods. And if that added stock
means a re-design of the store and the shelving
unils, then that's done.

Also new this year is the deti cated on the second
floor, Deborah Loxam-Kohl, most recently from
Montreal is a trained cook .speeializing in creating
tasty, healthy and eye-appealing food. “There’s no
point in eating healthy if it doesn't taste good,” said
Deborah, as the smell of fresh baked whole wheat

sroissants wafted through the store

Also in the deli, Kit Mason has cooked up a great
idea.-It's called Eight*FoureThirty. For eight dollars
you'll receive an entree for four people that can be
served in 30: minutes.

‘All you have to do is add the salad and the pasta or
rice and it's a quick and nutritious meal.” The items vary
each day, but there are always two different vegetarian
entiees available and from Kit's wealth of international)
recipes those entrees can range from tamale pies to
Thai specialties and everything in between

Visual changes are easy to make and quick to be
seen: The other changes happening at Evergreen have
been more subtle but still important

‘Our ‘Natural Power Pricing’ is perhaps the biggest
change here, said Christiane Snyder, marketing
coordinator. We have been able to set up a volume
buying service for our customers. With volume
buying, every single item is priced to give you the
case price, whether you want one can or a dozen.”

The second part of ‘Natural Power Pricing’ is the
customer's ability to order bulk food from the
catalogue. “Our prices are better than buying clubs
and there’s no freight to worry about,” said Christiane.

Some of Evergreen’s new customers are surprised at
the low prices. “We are consistently lower than the bulk
foods in the major grocery stores in Nelson and
Castlegar,” she said. But Evergreen is more than bulk foods.

fi been a year since Little House Fruit Stand grew

The Castlegar Sun

Kit Mason pours a container of Budda's Feast, one
of the items available on the Eight*Foure Thirty
special. Add some rice and salad and you have
dinner for four in thirty minutes!

‘We've just started “VitaClub”, the smart shopper's
plan for frequent purchasers of nutritional
supplements,” said Christiane, The VitaClub card is
free and includes a sign-up gift package with samples
and coupons, is included

And there's more yet. Evergreen is proud to\be
the largest organic gardening supply centre in
the Kootenays and Dave Mason's specialty is the
farm feed, pet food, garden supplies and fresh
produce area

Last summer we sold hundreds of pallets of
peaches and this year our fresh-from-the-farmer's-
garden produce will be well displayed in bins along
the perimeter of the building,” said Dave.

“Christiane coined the term Healthco, and | think
it fits,” he said. “Good healthy food at low
warehouse prices.”

From new products and shelving to “the treats,
salads and dinner in the deli, from VitaClub to
prepared and bulk foods and from canning supplies
to organic fertilizer, Evergreen has it all.

Now there's every reason to shop everyday great
value at Evergreen Natural Foods.

Cellular service
to cost $6 million

SUN STAFF

B.C, Tel Mobility will spend
over $6 million to bring cellular
phone service to both the West
and) East Kootenaysas early as
this summer.

The expansion will mean cel-
lular service for both residents
and travellers in areas of the
province where cellular has never
been available before.

The ambitious plan aims to
have full cellylar service up and

ing in Nelson, Castlegar and
Trail as early as June 15, the
Columbia Valley between Cran-
brook and Radium Hot Springs
by mid-summer, and Creston by
late summer.

“We'll build at least nine new
cell sites to deliver the new ser-
vice and make sure it meets our
high standards for quality,” com-
mented B.C. Fel Mobility
spokesman_Ferdi Schell

Company president Rob
Cruickshank noted that pioneer
ing cellular service in this
province is nothing new for B.C
Tel Mobility.

“We've led the way pretty well
everywhere: Whist Revel-

~—stoke,Golden, Prince George, the

Peace River, the Okanagan,
northern Vancouver Island...you

hese places might not look
very big to a company based in
Toronto, but they're very impor-
tant to us.”

The new coverage in the
Columbia Valley will include the
resort areas of Lake Windermere
and Fairmont Hot Springs.

B.C. Tel Mobility operates
the largest cellular and paging
networks in British Columbia
with nation-wide connections
through Mobility Canada and
international connections
through agreements with. carri
ers in other countries.

Celgar breathing
bit easier now

“SUN STAFF

Celgar officials are breathing
a sigh of relief now that strik-
ing CP Rail employees are
‘back [6 work.

Célgar officials had
expressed concerns that pulp
would have to be stored on-site
until the strike was over, bat a
recent bill has legislated strik-

ing ees back to work.

“H's 's good news for us,” said
Dan Kennedy, shipping super-
visor for Ceigar pulp.

Although the strike required
contingency plans being car-
ried out by Celgar, full produc-
tion was maintained during the
strike which began March 9

Kennedy said that operations
were back to normal by the end
of last week.

Water study under way

SUN STAFF

A $120,000 environmental
study began this week to examine

, the water quality of the Columbia

River near Trail.

The study, undertaken jointly
by Cominco Ltd. and the provin-
cial Environment Ministry, will
last six weeks and will look at a
number of aspects of water quali-
ty from Birchbank to Waneta.

Among the things to be studied
are water chemistry, sediment
chemistry, aquatic plant and
insect communities to assess the
effects of Cominco effluents on
the river, especially near the
Cominco discharges.

Cominco biologist Bill Dun
can, who is heading up the com
pany part of the program, said the
study will augment work done
from 1991-1993 as part of the

Columbia River Integrated Envi-
ronmental Monitoring Program.

“It will also give us a baseline
against which to measure water
quality improvements when we
cease slag disposal to the river
later this year and when the new
lead smelter goes on line in late
1996,” Duncan said in a prepared
release

The study is intended to mea-
sure subtle effects in the river
environment.

It will involve setting out
equipment by a number of groups
of orange and white buoys to col-
lect aquatic plant and insect com-
munities up and down the river
from the Cominco plants.

“The public is asked not to dis-
turb these buoys,” said Duncan.

Cominco’s Trail Operations
have been steadily cleaning up its
discharges into the Columbia
River. Dissolved metals going

DON'T

into the river are down by 80 to
98 per cent

A variety of measures have
been put in place to prevent
upsets, contain spills and collect
and process. drainage water from
the plant area.

“The growth ii in membership
and excellent organization in the

“Jack wants to visit the riding
to find out first hand why we

A 61-year-old Castlegar man
has proved you don’t have to
know how to play the lottery
contests to win.

John Zebert is $50,000 richer
after winning the top prize in the
B.C. Lottery Corp.'s Casino
scratch and win game.

But Zebeit said he didn't even
know he'd won.

In a telephone interview from
Kamloops where he had trav-
elled to pick up his winnings,
Zebert said he couldn’t figure
out how the game was played, so
he asked for help from the
cashier at The Book Shop, where
he bought the ticket

“She screamed,” Zebert said
and then ran the ticket through
