The Grand Forks Gazette reports the rise is due mainly to the shutdown of the Bradford Enercon Plant Right KAREN KERKHOFF Sun staff Geographically and economi- cally it makes sense—Castlegar Hospital should be the place to provide specialized services to West Kootenay patients. This was the message representatives from Castlegar and District Hos- pital sent loud and clear to Jeff Rowlands, a medical consultant, during a Rural Study meeting which was held May 3 at the Castlegar Hospital Across the province hospitals have been furiously vying to become the “regional” hospital ever since the Ministry of Health's “New Directions in Health Care” was announced— and Castlegar, Trail and Koote- nay Lake Hospitals have been no different in their quest to be the “regional” hospital Castlegar Hospital Adminis SHARLENE IMHOFF Sun Editor here! Castlegar hospital sends clear message of regionalization to medical consultant Rowlands trator, Ken Talarico, admits that while the-hoped-for roles of each hospital in the West Kootenay is a delicate topic of conversation between boards, providing spe- cialized services at Castlegar Hospital is a viable proposition. “We are the geographic centre, and with the highways going through Castlegar and the airport here, we are also the transporta- tion centre of the West Koote- nay.” Economically, designating Cc sastlegar Hospital as the special- ized services facility also makes sense, especially considering Minister of Health, Elizabeth Cull’s mandate to trim health care spending said Talarico. “We can very easily add another floor to the hospital, the building is designed for it. There would be less capital expense to See REGIONAL 2A Developer targets senior's housing place to play cards and have cof- fee,” said Jodoin, who added that Castlegar's urgent need for adult’ or ‘senior’ housing has not gone unrecognized—a company from Vernon called Schelby Development Ltd. -has applied to the city of Castlegar for rezoning of 2200, 2204, 2208 and 2212 streets in order to build 53 sepa- rate dwellings. 2'sections 28 pages Schelby Development owner, Louis Jodoin, said he is anxious to begin construction of the units in early July. Each unit in the duplex and four-plex structures will have individual front and backyards, since many mature adults main- tain gardens. Jodoin said the units will be between 1,50 and 1,700 Square feet, the latest in design and contain fenced yards. “There will also be a central clubhouse which will contain an exercise room, billiard room, a —-On your mark... — the resp > to housing designed for people over 40 has been noth- ing short of tremendous. “There will even be a backyard barbecue area.” The first unit to be completed will be a show-suite, which will be used to sell units before they are built. Jodoin expects residents to be living in some of the units by mid-September. While the number of individual units has been set at 53, the Vernon devel- oper says that figure can easily change. “We'll keep building them as long as the response is there,” said Jodoin, who refused to comment on the price of a unit at this time Local senior’s advocate, Elma Maund, says Schelby Develop. ment’s plans are a great start to __ ‘Fore’ a good time ...— Stanley Humphries Secondary School played last Thursday at the Castlegar a his tee shot on the first hole during the six-team CanAm Tournament, which was SUN STAFF PHOTO / John Van Putten golf team member, Scott Clifford, watches nd District Golf course.

SUN STAFF PHOTO / John Van Putter Construction is winding down at.the Celgar pulp mill expansion site; and 30 per cent of the construction workforce have completed their duties as of Apnil 31 Rod Meares, project manager for Celgar, said at the start of April there were 1,143 employees, while at month’s erid, that figure dropped to 755. There are cur rently 423 workers living at camp quarters, including 36 workers from the catering company. Living trailers are starting to be dismantled and six will be leaving the site by the end of this week. The kitchen complex will remain in place over the next few weeks to caver the remaining workers on site as well as the crew that will be shutting down the old and starting up the new But the biggest indication that construction is fin ishing is the fact that the old pulp mill will be shutting down May 12, in order to make final connections to the. new chip supply and fibre line. “The mill will be down for about one week, and the new mill Task force on violence tatives from School District Jent Everette District, No. § Voykin; Castle KAREN KERKHOFF Sun staff Everyone in attendance night's Task Force on V Forum had one objective in the safety of students in the sc The Task Force, whic formed in response to Parks and Rick student parlian the fn: Janet Kalesniko! sical alter ing severity of recent phy af Star gar and Di cations between student Humphries Secondary School (SHSS) consists of Association (CT eight represen» Wendy Amett gar RCMP Consta ble Marvin Toma: parents ference however, since the new recovery boiler (which has much to do with Celgar odor) has been in operation since April 26. As well, the new pulp machine has already been making pulp since April 21. Once the new fibre line is producing, it will run a stream of 800 - 1,000 tonnes of pulp per day (the old plant produced approximately 535 tonnes per day). If everything continués to run smoothly, the ntw plant will be at full production, turning out 1,200 tonnes of pulp per day, in a matter of weeks. Meares said there are still a number of items that need to be completed, including the Turbo generator, which generates electric power, as well as miscellaneous tanks that were used for a number of different functions. “Tt's relatively minor work that’s now left to be completed.” On the financial scale, Meares said he is guardedly mistic that construction will be completed under budget. Currently the company is within $30 million of the $700 million commitment to the expansion project. submissions Prior to the forum written sub- missions were requested from inter- ested members of the community.
