Sun stoff writer

Seniors have 2 definite advan-
tage in that they're not committed
to the nine to five routine and
demands of the work-a-day world.
For many swimming laps is a large
part of their social and recreational
schedule, For a select few, swim-
ming Iaps at the Castlegar Aquatic
Center is both an addiction and the
Fountain ‘of Youth.

In what appears to be a unique

gram in the West Kootenay, the
Castlegar Aquatic Center operates
the “Kilometer Klub"rewarding
participants with free passes for
completing 15 km, - one for the
younger crowd, two for those over
55, and three for those over 65.

: Seniors leading Kilometer Klub

Nelson will have what amounts
to a competition in the new year
with what they call “Swim Across

Canada”. Trophies and prizes will °

be given out to those who finish
with the top accumulated distances
over a three month period.

Trail doesn’t have an indoor

pool. ‘
Anyone is welcome to join the
Castlegar Km. Klub including
those from Nelson and Trail and
all points in between. There are

currently 130 participants in the ,

program which was started by the
Aquatic Center back in March,
The process is quite simple - you
swim lengths, let the lifeguard
know how many you did, and your
tally is recorded in the Klub book.

Coach's Comments:
Lorin has been our number one goalie all year.
He's played really well considering he has been
facing 35 - 45 shots per game. He's showing
. signs of frustration with losing but that's good
‘+ an indication of his competitiveness.

Lorin Says:

We've been in a lot of one goal games and |

_. Swimming I've been doing, I think |

book", one has to be impressed
with those who are entitled to two
or three passes for each 15 km.,
particularly with the trio of Paul
Oglow and Joe and Della Kubos.
Della has been involved since day
one and bas racked up a remark-
able 201 km.. Her husband Joe
has clocked 109 km., while Paul
Oglow has a more than
respectable 116.

Bom in Alberta, Paul has been
a Kootenay resident almost all his
life. Since leaving the farm in
Glade at the ‘age of 17 he has
worked in a dry cleaners in Trail,
served’ in the diner for CPR
between Vancouver and Medicine
Hat and did a stint on tugboats up
an down the coast. From there he
retumed to Trail where he was a
letter carrier for five years before
going into business with his broth-
ers here in Castlegar. For over 25
years Oglow Building and Supply
was an institution in this town.
Paul is currently the city’s coro-
ner, a position he has held for the
past 11 years and just retired last
year as Justice of the Peace. His
involvement in curling as well as
the Km. Klub is indicative of a
man who has no intention of slow-
ing down just because he is over
65.

Joe, who will be 66 in January
and Della who is 62, both retired
a little over six years ago. Della
taught in Castlegar for 20 years
while Joe worked for the School
District in Trail. They both swim
daily from Monday to Friday for
about an hour to an hour-and-a -
half. Della also volunteers with
the Red Cross and is working on
her bowling while Joe keeps him-
self busy with woodcraft.

“It's automatic for us now,”
said Della. “Life revolves around
swimming. The Km. Klub pro-
vides me with the opportunity to
compete with myself and I can
measure my progress.”

Besides being fun and giving
them ‘something to do, they all

the’ health’ benefi
derived from the regular workout
to be an important factor.

“I have arthritis in my shoul-
der,” said Joe, “and with all the

I just might have it licked.”

Paul added, “Swimming is A-1
for health - it really helps my
lungs.”

‘When you see what these folks .
are doing, and what others are
doing in the Senior Swim Team,
you've got to believe they just
might have found the fountain of
youth at the Aquatic Center.

HAPPY
NEW YEAR’

City Council considers major increase In : service fe

» By BARBARA TANDORY

Sun staff writer

Castlegar city council is con-
“sidering in earacst major increases
in fees for municipal services as a
way of increasing revenue, but not
immediately ‘and not’ without fur-
ther debate of specific measures
Proposed,

In a marathon five-hour session
last week the new council got
down to business, discussing in its

‘last pre-Christmas meeting a staff
\ Proposal on increasing the city’ 'S

‘revenue,

The meeting Dec. 18 was the
council’s first working session as
a Committee of the Whole, ‘fol-
lowing a change of format adopted
after the fall municipal election.

During a lengthy staff Presenta-

, tion, by City Building Inspector

Phil Markin, Castlegar Mayor
Audrey Moore gauged popular
support for the ideas around the
council table, receiving condition-
al support from most.

Alderman Smecher said she
‘would support major fee increases
for city-proyided services “but
with some hesitation." . | |

“There should be some services
provided by the municipality,” she

s th

also dan

“ in'a wood-l -buming fireplace “until
the building inspector knocked on
(her) door,”,./

Smecher urged council to pro-
vide public education in this
regard,

The city stuff is iooking at
building permits as a major source
of increased revenue for. the
municipality, . proposing an
increase of up to 50 percent, sub-
ject to local

“ with Nelson's.”

 Markin said that total ‘(@ity) Ki
: revenue for 1989 from business |

licence fees was $40,747 and sug-
gested an increase of 25 percent,
or at least of 20 per cent. ts
“There's a good rationale for at
increase," Markin

Another proposal
eration involves increasing cence:

and the rate of inflation, for 1992
at the earliest.

The increases, however, would
be incremental, at about 15 per.

fees for h b:

from $40 a year at present, to’

make them on par with the stan-

_dard, $80 commercial licences.

Williams told city council at the
meeting.
The staff's “Revenue Enhance-

gests that business licence fees be
set higher, in keeping with the
area's rate structure.

A comparison review of the

region, said the document present-

Markin recommended: “As
