Probabil sunny skies with highs in the low 30s. 50 Cents 2 Sections (A &B) ~ FOR OOTISCHENIA — Regional approves By RON NORMAN Editor The Central Kootenay Regional District board ‘agreed Saturday to prepare a plan that will pave the way for development in Ootischenia. The plan will include: removal of up to one-third of the land currently within the Agricultural Land CoReserve. : 7 e areas for commercial develop- ment e areas for mobile home parks e a minimum lot size of .4 hectare (one acre). The plan will go to a public-hearing, likely in early September, Area J director Martin Vanderpol said Satur- day. : Commercial and-residential devel- opment in the Ootischenia has been frozen since August, 1983. At that time the regional board gave final approval to the Castlegar Fringe Settlement-Plan which included the areas surrounding Castlegar. Oni Fi : agricultural study of the land before any planning-was—umdertaken. That study was~complete in June, 1984 but a plan for the area wasn’t finished until this spring. The area recommended for removal from the ALR is basically all the land west of Highway 3A, from the Kootenay River to just south of the Castlegar Airport. ‘The area includes Selkirk Collge, the Doukhobor Historical Village and Res- taurant, the National Exhibition Cen--- tre and the weigh scales. However, areas will remain w The regional board's plan for mini- mum lot sizes ‘in Ootischenia differs from the Agridultural Land Commi- ssion's recommendations. ‘Fhe Land Commissi d board plan further subdivision,” the Commission said in-a letter to the regional board. However, Vanderpol rejected the recommendation saying the area with the ALR j‘is really the area where many of the residents would like to subdivide to more sensible lot sizes.” Vanderpol called the Land Commi- ssion’s two hectare lot size “a senseless measure”, adding that residents within - the ALR did not buy the land- to speculate, but to provide property for children and grandchildren to build homes. He said the two hectare lot size is too large for residents to farm in their spare time, but not large enough for full-time farming. “This would leave 60 per cent of Ootischenia unused, which I believe is land outside the ALR be zoned mini- - mum .4 hectare, down from the present minimum of two hectares (five acres). The Land Commission also advised that the-land within the ALR remain was das a two hectares. “Est a special study area and the Ministry of Agriculture. was asked to prepare an policy that would permit (.4 hectare) lots would only serve to encourage ” Vanderpol said.

Twelve fires are not contained, mostly in the north end of the district at-the higher elevations,” he said, adding that things have “calmed down to some extent.” In the southern part of the district, the Ata fire covering 425 hectares north and west of Renata, is “the most newsworthy”, Fitchett said. “It made a bit of run yesterday. “Today we're using three h copters, two of which are medium-size ‘helicopters laying retardant lines. ‘We're reinforcing the existing fire guards in the area prior to burning off fuel {unburnt-timer)-between-the-fire— guards and the fire later this afternoon.” oe Fitchett said the fire is considered ~ contained, with a cat guard around 90 per cent of the fire and fire retardant guards aroud the remaining 10 per ent.

We're in .the process of mapping it out,” Wilson said. High winds and steep terrain origin- ally caused the fire to spread rapidly, forcing 10 families from. their Rock Creek homes. Residents of the small community claimed the blaze could have been contained quickly when it first broke out, but said Forest Ministry workers told them not to try to put it out. However, ministry spokesman Fred Thiessen said the fire spread quickly because of the high winds. they” reflect the ~ OF THE BLUE By RON NORMAN Editor Albert Calderbank had a grin as broad as. the Canadian prairie this week — and for good reason. The Castlegar merchant and alderman won a $50,000 windfall in- Wednesday's weekly Pacific Express lottery draw. “It came completely out of the blue,"’ said Calder- bank, adding that he felt ‘‘a little bit of a jump” when he” realized he held the $50,000 winning ticket. The Pacific Express lottery draws three tickets: one for $10,000, a second for $50,000 and a third for'$100,000. However, ticket holders can win subsidiary prizes if some of their digits match the digits in the three winning “With the dry when, the wind came up, it spread faster than we could cope with it.” Wilson said the fire is no longer threatening any residences and that the strategy now is to “concentrate on keeping it quiet and to continue to exercise control.” “We've had some high overcast which is helpifig us out a great deal.” In other parts of the province, hot, dry weather thwarted firefighters as continued on page AZ City interested in By CasNews Staff and News Services The City of Castlegar is interested in a federal-government proposal to have | local authorities manage and market federal airports, as long as it won't cost the city anything. “We might take a look at it,"" Mayor Audrey More said Friday, ‘‘as long as it doesn’t cost us an arm and a leg.”’ Transport Canada is currently rate of d fires in the north end of the district.

Calderbank said the ticket was one of seven -‘left over’’. The tickets come in booklets of five, but at the end of the week there are_usually partially sold books ‘left over. Calderbank says he’s made a habit of buying whatever tickets ate left. “An investment of $7 and we got $S0,000,"" chuckled an elated Calderbank.
