Mitchell's to
build warehouse

By CasNews Staff

Mitchell's Supply Ltd plans
to build a warehouse on
property adjacent to the
store, Castlegar council. lear-
ned Tuesday.

“It's where the old store
burned down,” explained
Ald. Carl Henne, a member
of the planning committee.

Henne said the warehouse
should provide room to house
lumber that is sitting in a
vacant lot on Columbia Ave.
across from the Oglow Build-
ing.

“That's an eyesore,” com-
mented Ald. Bob Pakula.

Henne agreed, saying the
only way to get the lumber
off the lot is to “build a
proper storage shed.”

Council granted Mitchell
Supply a development permit
to build on the site.

In other news, the city has
been approached about a
proposed development in the
plaza area.

Henne said representa:
tives West Kootenay Prop
erties Ltd. met with the
planning committee to dis
cuss the 187-acre parcel of
land between the Horcoff
farm and Maloney Pontiac
Buick GMC.

Henne said the represen-
tatives did not outline any
proposals, but wanted to
know if the city would
provide certain services in
return for some property.

The planning committee
told the representatives that
“any serious proposals would
be given consideration.”

Elsewhere, the city has not
yet reached an agreement
with Elektro Dohmen Enter.
prises Ltd. on the sale or
lease of the proposed city
owned building at the indus
trial park.

Council said the city and
the Castlegar company are
still looking at a draft agree
ment.

Elektro Dohmen was the
sole bidder on the building —
which has yet to be built. The
company submitted a bid of
$159,000.

Survey. work has started
on a sidewalk and land
scaping for the Community
Complex. Ald. Carl Henne,
chairman of the parks and
recreation committee, told
council the sidewalk will be

length of 6th Ave. from the
Imperial Oil bulk plant to

would no longer have to roll
their fingers 180 degrees in

the fashion used when finger-
printing criminals.

Under the Alien Regis-
tration Act, all resident for-
eigners must be fingerprint:
ed at age 16 and then every
five years.

Japan has been faced with
protests by Korean resi
dents.

Despite calls from South
Korea to abandon the prac-
tice, the government said it
would continue to require
fingerprinting and it ordered

local governments to pros-
ecute all foreigners who re-
fuse for more than three
months to be. fingerprinted.

Japanese authorities say
that fingerprinting is nec-
essary to keep precise rec-
ords of aliens.

Several thousand of the
more than 600,000 Koreans
living in Japan are to be
fingerprinted this year, and
several residents’ associa-
tions have vowed to flout the
law.

Request to city
for new crosswalks

By CasNews Staff
Castlegar school board
wants the City of Castlegar
to upgrade its crosswalks.
The board agreed Monday
to ask the city to install five

new crosswalks, relocate
another and remove two
others.

The five proposed cross.
walks are:

e Columbia Avenue and
8th Street by the forestry
office

e Columbia Avenue and
14th Street by the Bank of
Montreal's commercial
branch

e Columbia Avenue by
Kinnaird Hall

e Columbia Avenue and
27th Street by the Castlegar
Import Centre.

e Park Hill Road across
from Kinnaird Park

As well, the board wants
the crosswalk on 9th Avenue
South relocated to the side-

walk near the entrance to
Kinnaird Elementary School,
in addition to the removal of
the crosswalk on 10th Aven-
ue South and one near the
top of Milestone.

The board will also ask the
city to repaint all crosswalks
within city limits as soon as
possible the same way the
Ministry of Highways does:
larger, with an arrow and an
X painted about 45 metres
before the crosswalk.

Pass Creek school
won't close says board

By CasNews Staff

Pass Creek Elementary
school will remain open next
year, Castlegar school board
said Monday.

The board unanimously
agreed that one intermediate
class be maintained at the
school for the 1985-86 school
year.

As well, it added that
“subject to reasonable enrol
ment and available resource,
Pass Creek school (will) re
main open.”

Pass Creek school has an
enrolment of 16 students, up
one from September.

The school will
Grades 4, 5 and 6.

Asked what is meant by
“reasonable enrolment” the
board said it hasn't any
specific figures.

Meanwhile, schools super
intendent Terry Wayling
said overall enrolment in the
Castlegar school district has
fallen since September.

Wayling said there are 49
fewer students in Castlegar
schools. However, he said

cause 24 Stanley Humphries
Secondary School students

However, SHSS still re.

lates. There are now 782
students at the high school.
Castlegar Primary also had

a drop of five students and
now has 144 students.

Twin Rivers saw the great
est increase — four students
— and is the largest elem
entary school in the district
with 225 students.

Kinnaird Elementary had
an increase of two students
since September and now has
217 students.

HIRING——

Nichvolodoff responded that there may be only a small

additional cost for the director of instruction and there isn't
any better use for the money.

“I could give you several examples,” rejoined Johnson.
“To me it could be a fairly substantial amount of money.”

Trustee Turner tried to have the motion tabled for a
week to allow more time to provide the public with
information, but the move was defeated.

“I am in favor of a director of instruction,” Turner said
“My only concern is that we have the public out there who
does not know a lot of the details about this.”

Trustee George Anutooshkin told the board he also
supports the new administrative position.

“The prowler turned out to

Two impaired drivers were
arrested over the weekend.

, CDTA president Rodgers said the decision
to hire a new administrator comes “when there's layoffs.
We're losing 10 teaching positions this year. The board is
willing to break our contract over increments.”

The number of teaching positions will drop from 144.5 to
134.5 — which is below the provincial government's
guidelines for the district, said Rodgers.

The cutbacks will mean an increase of two students per
class, he added. For example, the Robson Elementary school
kindergarten class will rise from 29 to 31 students, he said.

And Rodgers predicted the decision will have an impact
on teacher bargaining.

“I would think that the bargaining people would be
reluctant to take any new offers, while it seems like our
money is spent for another administrative position.”

He added, “It seems to the teachers almost like a desire
to spend the money that should be going to us as a raise.”

Contract talks between the board and teachers resumed
this morning.

TREET TALK

THE CASTLEGAR Kiwanis Club is looking for the
return of a 16-inch chain saw, two lawnmowers, and a
“Clinton motor in a box.”

The club owns the Scout Hall on 34d Street and rents
it to the school district for Open Roads School.

Ambitions Kiwanians, in running their highly
successful auction last Saturday, went to the storage
garage on the Scout Hall property to pick up some items
stored there for the auction.

You guessed it; they took a few things belonging to
the Open Roads Sehool and auctioned them off!

t the four items will contact him, he'll be glad to
refund their money.

AND SPEAKING of Kiwanis, the club held a former
members’ night Tuesday evening with members of years

age and not Solong ago mathering,to enJey_a ateak dimmer ‘\., selected fov,.thepositii

and fellowship.

JOE KILLOUGH, now retired and a member in the
early "50s, recalled the group's glee club entry in a music
festival in Trail.

He said that the program was rearranged so
members weren't to sing for several hours. Of course
they dispersed to various bars around town while Joe
volunteered to remain behind and keep an eye on the
festival's progress.

Suddenly it was announced that the glee club
competition would be moved up so Joe raced around town
gathering wayward Kiwanians and, all out of breath,
helped do his part with the choir.

The adjudicator commented that the club had
performed well, “except that the tenors were a little
tight.”

“He didn’t know the half of it!” mused Joe.

Carl Loeblich recalled the late Mickey Moran who
organized a spelling bee between four members of the
club and four high school students.

It was Mickey's belief, said Carl, that young people
couldn't spell and he was determined to prove his point
with the school teacher members of the club.

The evening of the spelling bee arrived and the other
three Kiwanians did so well that Mickey, who was to be
the wind-up competitor, never even had to spell a word!

Walt Taylor of the Nelson Kiwanis Club recalled a
curling inter-club to Grand Forks where, as usual, the
Castlegar Kiwanis Club was victorious.

However, someone made off with the trophy before
Castlegar could claim it.

Enroute home over the Kinnaird-Christina Lake
Highway, Kiwanians found traffic at a standstill and
Mickey's huge Chrysler stretched across the road closing
the entry to the Paulson Bridge.

Mickey, a lawyer well-known all over British
Columbia, had set up his own roadblock and was
searching every car until he successfully retrieved the
curling trophy for Castlegar!

CASTLEGAR ROTARIANS had a real treat
Tuesday evening when the Stanley Humphries Jazz Band
entertained at their regular weekly meeting.

The Jazz Band members also received a treat.
Rotarians gave each of them a ticket to an upcoming
theatrical production, The Wizard of Oz.

A BACKYARD DUMP in Castlegar is about to be
transformed into a quiet retreat. Local businessman Bill
Kelley, owner of Kel Print in the 600 block Columbia
Avenue is behind a new development which will be

has bought the building which houses
maaan Hairlines and Accent Styling and the
property at the front and back from Nick Ogiow and plans
to turn the back into a “nice quiet retreat” known: as the
Courtyard. In The Courtyard will be a gallery, a coffee
shop as well as a bookshop and curio shop.

‘The bookshop and curio shop — owned by Jim and
Angie Burgess of Castlegar — opened up last month. It's
a place where you can trade old books for other old books.
Bill says he hopes to have the rest of the courtyard open
for the upcoming tourist season,

Richards and the difficult time the society had attracting
someone.

Paul says the society was flooded with 11
applications following the story. James Bonthron was

ieldn. A OM ‘\ \

BUT NOT EVERYONE was pleased with the way
the society chose the new manager. One caller to the
CasNews said he applied for the job but was told he was
too young.

In fact, the caller said one couple around 45 years of
age was also turned down because they were too young.
As well, the society was looking for a six-year
commitment, said the caller.

Paul admits the society wanted someone older to fit
in comfortably with the seniors, but denies the society
turned down anyone because they were too young.

over the weekend in the Cominco gym.

participants.

THAT HOBBIT HILL Children's Centre second
annual giant sidewalk sale netted some $1,400 — up $100
from last ye: total.

The money will be used for the centre's operations
and comes in handy because the centre's special needs
grant has been cut back this year.

IF YOU EVER have trouble flying out of Castlegar,
you'll always have the chance to drive to Grand Forks or
Creston and fly from there.

Apparently, Air Caledonia has received its class two
commercial license to provide air service between
Creston, Grand Forks and Vancouver.

Caledonia hoped to start the flights in June, but it
isn't known if the company plans to stick to that date.

CASTLEGAR'S CARL and Gino
timo are the new grape-stomping champions of the West
Kootenay. The pair edged 's Norm Gabana and
Ernie Miles by half an inch at the peisemenging contest
in Trail Saturday as part of Silver City Days.

The contest involved one partner of each team
stomping grapes while the other dumped more fruit into
the wooden tub. The grape hauler then siphoned the juice
through a hose into a pail below the stage. Castlegar got
T' inches, to Trai 6% inches.

Other communities represented were Warfield,
Fruitvale and Montrose. Rossland-Trail MLA Chris
D’Arey also competed with Bob Warning. The pairs was
fifth. Last was Kootenay West MP Beb Brisco and his
partner.

Henne and Sammartino collected prizes and the
coveted trophy for their win. The trophy will be on
display at City Hall.
