He said he was nol altogether sure why he was there, He spoke about the travel industry on a general basis, pointing out its importance to the people of this province in terms of dollars and cents. Later in the evening, during the question and answer period, Mr. Norman was more familiar with the problem at hand. He was able to relate to the problem and offered some sound ideas for improving conditions in the area that would eventually safeguard Kootenay resources. At the same time, Mr. Norman did not advocate the reduction of tourists to the area. Second speaker of the evening was Derek Willans, vice-president, Trail Wildlife Association. Mr. Willans spoke briefly on why the meeting was called and said the issue at hand had been growing in the hearts of , sportsmen for years. Mr. Willans spoke about the overcrowding of Kootenay Lake area in comparison with other areas that have suffered from the burden of over- population, The next speaker, William Commerce said: “After hearing Mr. Willans, I agree that there isa problom but I don’t feel we should sell the issue too far down. the drain.” He said we have 76,000 people living in the West Pass Creek Home Burns A small one-story frame dwelling nine miles up Pass Creak ust past Pass Creek School was totally destroyed by fire Wednesday.

Prior to leaving Prince George for Castlegar, the MacAndrews were guests at a party held in their honor. Mr. MacAndrew had a long associa- tion with the development of the area north of the Nechako River. He originated the’ Community Club in the area and was active in hospital affairs. He helped bring about the area's water and fire improvement district and ser- ved four years as chairman and one year as irman of Kootenay, Because we live in the most beautiful part of the province, that’s a privileged 76,000. “By 1978," he said, “the population is only expected to reach 82,000 and that increase in population is not going to drive us out of the area, “There is an over-crowding condition in parts of the West Kootenay,” he said, “but it's nothing compared to the cheek by jowl situation that exists in the Okanagan,” In defence of the travel Industry, Mr. Barnsley was quick to point out that it creates jobs. “Last year,” he said, “the Parks Branch alone hired over 600 university students. and approximately 1,200 others, just in their accelerated parks program, Without the tourist industry, where would: these people go to work?” When Harvey Andrusak, regional fisheries biologist, spoke, he referred to Kootenay Lake as something different and something special. He quoted a recent publication about Kootenay Lake which had predicted the over- crowding situation, several years ago. “Despite other opinions,” he said, “there is not a problem with the fish population on the West Arm.” He went on to say that imposed limits on fish in recent years indicated that the branch has made some changes and accepted the fact that there was a problem. “But these impositions are not too important,” he said, “because it is a people problem, not a fish problem.” He pointed out that 75 per cent of all anglers on Kootenay Lake are Americans. "The critical issue for that area is the crowding factor, and anything resolved in the Bal- four area is not going to please everyone, including residents,” he said. Mr. Andrusak also pointed out the fact that an increase in fees is currently being rushed through red tape and if everything goes well, it could be in effect next year. He feels a four- or five-fold increase would be adequate and thinks the influx of non-resident anglers will fall to an all-time low. Mr. Andrusak warned the public not to look to simple \ypes of regulation changes to be the end to all answers, “The problem you have in Balfour,” he said, “is a people problem and a crowded situa- tion that has become intoler- able.” Mayor DeVito, who chair- ed the meeting said in closing, “I think we are finding in our society today an increasing skepticism and apprehension about some of the old measures of just-what constitutes a ‘good life and what constitutes a proper future for ourselves and our children.” “L think meetings such as this are going to increase. I'm not suggesting that one side is particularly right or wrong, but lam suggesting that what we are facing throughout the western world.is a very deep concern about what happens to our lives and what will happen to our children.” the regional district. In recent years he was involved in the organization and operation of the Centennial Library on’ the Hart Highway while Mrs. MacAndrew op- erated one of the first stores in the Nechako area. The MacAndrews first returned to Castlegar to visit + three years ago and have come back. several times since, deciding on a visit in June that they would move here.
