First of all, there is that editorial which appeared in last week’s CasNews. In it, publisher Burt Campbell points out, to those who have not taken the Superhost training seminar at least, that there are many attrac- tions for visitors and local citizens in Castlegar. As such, they are a refreshment to the body, a solace to the mind, and where touring visitors are concerned, a ‘ stmnnne | ENT tll Jet Lids ih fui Wh ili oe Mui Ligidt pie | ES 1 ¢ ai weil a sai ap eorcee ae eetee WE MAKE BUYING- INSURANCE EASY!

Reservations Essential Oglow reported that after six elec- tions for three-year terms and 18 years of service, he will be retiring from the Castlegar Hospital board af the an- nual general meeting of the Hospital Society in June. Ogliow’s period of service has seen many changes, with the hospital growing to 75 beds from 35 and: now to 135-bed capacity. There was always planning, land acquisition and negotiations with government departments and Oglow said-being—on—the—executive—of the board, most of this time as chairman, vice-chairman and treasurer, has been a truly satisfying form of community service.

Seniors enjoy noon concert The Castlegar Senior Citizens were invited to the Twin Rivers elementary school for a noon-hour concert for the seniors’ April social meeting. The—students—from—Castlegar Primary school were also in the audience as guests. The guests were welcomed by prin- cipal Paul Phipps who then in- troduced the music director, Bob Ber- tuzzi. The choir, consisting of about 65 students from Grades 4, 5 and 6, opened the program with two num- bers from the Sound of Music.

OPENING MAY 2 in Robson Electrolysis et By Janette Certified Electrologist Blend & Thermolysis Method Personal Filaments & Sterilization Standards Complimentary Consultation BY APPOINTMENT ONLY 365-3421 restoration work is carried out by a small group of volunteers with’ the assistance of funds for materials supplied by grants from the B.C. Heritage Trust, the Royal Canadian Legion, the Lions, the Castlegar Rotary Club, West Kootenay Power, Celgar, as well as donations from several local businesses and private in- dividuals. Supplementary work and guides for the station and Chapel House has come from volunteers and trainees from the social services tourism training program. With great reluctance, the society initiated a fee in April for entry to the Chapel House and kept it open with volunteers for the month. However, every effort_to_obtain_student_workers_or_ trainees for the station and the Chapel House has failed. Therefore, there can be no opening, no visitors and no income. John Charters Reflections and recollections Sad, but a fact. Some will remember my column last month on the task force on tourism, heritage and community pride held in Nelson and the maxim, “‘Who would dine with the devil must bring a long spoon.’’ The line forms on the right. Please bring your thank-you cards. On the other hand, I would like to congratulate Wilf Sweeney, general manager of the proposed Celgar pulp mill expansion project, on his letter to the editor in last week’s Castlegar News. While we do live in a democracy (sort of) in which every citizen regardless of qualifications, has a right to express his or her opinion on any given topic, I have a certain admiration for a certain eminent scientist. He had just presented a lear- ned paper at the scientific congress when he was challenged by a member of the audience who was anxious to be seen in debate with the scholar. “‘Siz,”’ said the scientist, ‘‘when someone who is and responsibility is a two-way street. And in this latter regard, I would like to thank Celgar for being a good corporate citizen with the struggling heritage society. Help has been fos on a number of occasions over the past seven years, of- ten without being asked. It seems to me that there is a parable in the New Testament about talents and being faithful in smallthings. Thank you. On a more personal note and less-deserved level, T would like to thank the Castlegar Rotary Club for presenting me with a Paul Harris fellowship. It does the recipient and the club much honor and the $1,200 which it provides gives some worthy post-graduate students the opportunity to attend the university of his or her choice — a matter dear to my heart. Then I would like to thank Mayor Audrey Moore, Pat Metge, Sherrel Koreen and my wife, Bunny, for putting my name forward for the Brock award cer- tificate of honor, and for the considerable paperwork involved. I am deeply grateful for the confidence you have shown. Next, on my and Bunny’s behalf, I would like to express my appreciation to Drs. Melia and Streich of Castlegar and Drs. Carscagan and Malpass of Nelson for their prompt action and concern during her iliness. And thanks to the ambulance drivers and nursing staff of both hospitals for their many kindnesses and the numerous friends who have shown how much cared. Bunny will be sending her own thanks but it will take a while. Finally, last week, there was that most unexpected of gifts, a framed picture from George Bourchier of Rossland, son-in-law of our citizen of the year Joe Killough. George and his vivacious wife Babs Killough- Bourchier are both longtime stars in the Rossland” Light Opera Company and he is one of the most skilled portraitists in the Kootenays. The picture in this case is a watercolor of yours truly petting the Bourchier cat. It is an excellent likeness of both. One hundred thousand thanks, George. By the way, have you seen the present creek-bed, thanks to benign neglect and at one-time the good, raised road, thanks to B.C. Hydro, to Zuckerberg Island? In one month from now Lt.-Gov. David Lam, the Queen’s representative, is scheduled to visit the island and the thought alone embarrasses me. No thanks to anyone. News Supplement to the Castlegar News Sy.

Second prize will be a side of beef from Canada Safeway and third prize will be a flight for two to Vancouver on AirBC, the society said in a news release. This year there will also be one early bird draw for a compact disc player, also courtesy of Canada Safeway, and a gift certificate for a compact disc from Pete’s TV of Castlegar. Everyone who buys a Sunfest lot- tery button, fills out the entry form and drops it into the entry boxes at Pete’s TV or the Castlegar Chamber of Commerce by 5 p.m. May 29 will have a chance to win the early bird prize, the festivals society says. The draw for the early bird prize will take place May 30. “This is the third year that Mark Rutherglen and BCAA Travel in Nelson have worked on our behalf, to have the first-place prize trip match the theme. We are very grateful to them for their support of our event,"’ said Marilyn Strong, publicity chair- man. ‘‘This year we look forward to hosting the Fiesta West representative on Sunfest weekend and appreciate received so far this year from cor- porate sponsors. Gold patrons — businesses which have donated goods and services in excess of $1,000 — so far include Air BC, B.C. Hydro, Canada Safeway, Celgar Pulp Co., Fiesta West, Sch- weppes and Super Valu. This year, the society has created a new category for corporate sponsors — the diamond award. This will be a special award to corporate sponsors who have provided Sunfest with cash, goods or services in excess of $5,000. “The City of Castlegar is our first diamond patron and it makes a com- mittee like ours feel really good to have the politicians at city hall sup- port our community festival,’” Hawse said. ‘‘Besides being the corporate sponsor of the parade, the City of Castlegar also contributes to the design and upkeep of the City of Castlegar float. This year they are also playing a major role in hosting his honor, the lieutenant governor of British Columbia, David Lam, when he comes in for Sunfest weekend."* The schedule for the lieutenant governor is not yet final but it is 7 known he will visit Zuckerberg Island, the Castlegar Rail Station, the Doukhobor Museum, sample Russian delicacies at the Doukhobor Regiment. Parade chairman Bruce Gerrand Said a float from Spokane will be in this year’s parade. “This really makes all the planning and organizing worthwhile when we can have a float like Spokane’s come to Castlegar,” he said. ‘‘We are really excited because along with the Salk middle school 130-student marching band, there will be a big contingent of people from Spokane coming to Sun- fest. | am confident now that we will have more than 1,000 participants in “he parade and that this will be the iargest Sunfest parade ever staged in Castlegar.** Parade entry forms from outside the area are already being returned and Gerrand urges local people and businesses to pick up an entry form from the Castlegar Chamber of Commerce, fill it out and return it as soon as possible. “With all the visitors coming to be in and watch the parade, we hope to do the city proud and show all our guests what a great time they can have at Sunfest and in Castlegar,’’ Gerrand said. Other Sunfest events include the 32- team slopitch tournament and slopit- ch dance, Miss Castlegar pageant and a host of other activities and events for the whole family all weekend.
