sites and liaising with the com-
munity in general.

“Work projects form the basis
for the program and involve the
participants for four days per
week. If learning is the sure result

The Green Party of the Koote-
nays met in Kaslo on June 18 for a
renewal

This was the largest assembly
of the Kootenay Greens to date.
Members and friends came from
Creston, Wynndel, Castlegar,

itor was Rhonda Smith, Green
Party candidate in the recent fed-
eral election in East.

During the all-day meeting
participants examined key issues
for the Green Party, a rapidly
growing world-wide movement.
Among the issues were deep
olence and conflict resolution.
Bioregionalism, an important
issue in the Kootenays, came in
for extended consideration.

One workshop examined the

organization.
There was a special concern
for spiritoal values in the political

Process.

The June 18 meeting was the
first in a series leading up to candi-
date selection in November, for the

ial election that is

in 1995. Other events include a
platform meeting in Crawford Bay
July 30-31, at which Stuart Parker,
BC Provincial leader of the Green

An ounce of prevention is

year when they're at risk for life-
threatening conditions such as
sunstroke, and heat exhaustion.

Both conditions result from
prolonged exposure to the heat
or the sun, but can, with fore-
sight, be avoided.

Heat exhaustion is character-
ized in its early stages by

nausea and vomiting. These
symptoms might, on occasion, be
by cramping of the
muscles in the arms, legs, or
These first
are similar to the carly stages of
sunstroke, but the disorders are
not the same and should be treat-
ed

differently.

With heat exhaustion the skin
is cool and moist, while breathing
and pulse are rapid. Body tem-
perature remains at the normal
level, or slightly below, whereas
in sunstroke, body temperature
may be dangerously elevated.

Even though, as of yet, there’s
no final draft, Zurek said there is
some site preparation which will
begin soon.

“We have no choice. but to
start. We have a window of
opportunity which we must use.”

Specifically, culverts will be
laid across Pass Creek to upgrade
the water system which, as the
hot days of summer progress and
water levels decrease, result in
stagnation and poor water quality
of the main pool. From now until
August, said Zurek, is the only
