With this in mind, I remember a nutrition session I did last Friday at the Kaslo High School. Thirty-eight students voluntarily attended over their lunch hour. A popular ques- tion was vegetarianism. Does your child say “no meat please”? The best way to start is to find taste or texture of meat in any shape or form. Others decide they will be vegetarian for envi- ronmental, health or moral rea- sons. This may also be a first trial step towards independence from the family. Whatever the reason, try to respect the fact that the child has made a choice.

In February several of the sis- ters attended the open house cele- bration in honor of Ora Lightle’s 80th birthday. On February 24, visiting digni- laries were on hand when the Kootenay Temple Pythian Sisters met in the Masonic Hall for the official visit of District Deputy Grand Chief Irene Martin of the Maple Leaf Temple from Rosstind. Draping of the charter for a period of 30 days was held in memory of long-time member Sister Edith Wilson, whq passed away at the age of 96 years in the Kimberley Special Care Home on February 11. Sister Edith joined the Trail Temple in 1921 and was transfcred to the Kootenay Tem- ple in 1945. She was a devoted musician and added much to the Pythian Order. he Castlegar Sun A thunderin white pillow avalanche control? Is this inset picture with the flag person and a line of cars a familiar sight ? : All the delays, said District Avalanche Technician John Tweedy, are kept to a minimum considering the amount of annual snowfall and the risk it poses to highway traffic. In an average year, with normal snowpacks, there are 300 avalanches near the it of the K 'y Pass. Last year 100 of the avalanches affected the highway, which “is the highest all weather chunk of road in the province.” As of last Friday, there have been 320 avalanches this season. The avalanche risk season is from November until May. During the off season, Tweedy and his crew of five spend a portion of their time locating and destroying the dud rounds (which are unexploded shells) from the winter, of which each is logged, placed on a map and accounted for. Relying on a high degree of training to reduce the risks, Tweedy and his crew of five avalanche technician act quickly on their mandate which is to keep the highway safe and open. They also aim to keep delays to a minimum. In an average year there are 160 closures averaging one hour in length. Tweedy says the | closure recently has been 16 hours whereas years ago the road could be closed for three to four days at a time.
