Heat of summer can’t stop United Way

GEORGE WESTINGHOUSE
For The Sun

With the hottest part of the
summer upon us, vacation is
robably the most popular
hought inthe minds of most peo:
‘ple. It is important to remember,
Nhen, that for the volunteers and
tmployees of the Castlegar Dis-
trictWUpited Way and the agencies
it supports the work does not stop.
Individuals may take vacation but

the need to help people knows
neither month nor weather.
Although the United Way
office has been closed for
or so for staff holidays, the
tors are carrying on the business
and gearing up for Kickoff Day
on September 23 and the ensuing
residential canvass. The response
for the outdoor flea market has
been good and stalls are going
briskly.

For those of you who are watching your fat intake, take a look at your milk. you
are using 2% milk, it has 2% fat by weight of milk... that's 20gm of fat per liter.
You can cut your fat intake in half by using 1% or even more by using skim milk.

Also, it’s difficult to control fat intake when out in a fast food outiet. One of
the best choices for low fat content is a grilled chicken sandwich. With tomato
and lettuce, it keeps the grams of fat down and tastes good as well! (But go
lightly on the mayo!)

In England recently, the goverment did a survey of people's medicine cabinets
to see how much unused medication they had on hand. Extrapolated results of
2000 homes showed that 150 tons of medication worth tens of millions of
pounds are wasted each year.

instilling eye drops in children can 4 a chore. Try the “closed eye" method. Lay
the child down and close his jrop on the inner comer of the eyelid
then have the child open hi irop should fall in. This works quite

“Presently, Castlegar’s vacan-

which is expanding rapidly.

landlords around the province.

Recent changes to the Resi-
dential Tenancy Act include a
new rent protection system which
requires landlords to use a stan-
dardized form to give a tenant a
Notice of Rent Increase. There is
now also a mechanism for tenants
to dispute what they consider to
be ‘unjustified rent incréases’.
The changes also include new
requirements for returning or
withholding security deposits,
and information specific to rent-
ing manufactured home pads.

“Many landlords and tenants
are not even aware of the existence
of the law or that it has recently
been amended,” said Ross.

Recent changes also provide
new protections dealing with

Harvey said the declining rental
market and the rising cost of prop-
erty is creating increased tensions
between landlords and tenants.
“Landlords and tenants can
prevent disputes by becoming

bilities set out in the Residential
Tenancy Act,” said Carol Ross,
director of the Advocacy Centre.

B.C. calls on Ottawa to help conserve fish

New angling regulations recommended after public input:

Submitted

Environment, Lands and Parks
Minister Elizabeth Cull is calling
on the federal government to
enact new angling regulations to
conserve B.C.'s wild fish stocks.

Five new province-wide
angling regulations to conserve
fish are being recommended to
the federal government following
public input on seven regulation
changes.

“Government's first priority
is to conserve wild fish stocks,
but we need to consider the
input of everyone interested in
fish,” said Cull.

Regulations may also change
in individual regions throughout
the province. Over the next six
months, regional staff are con-
sulting with the public about pos-
sible regulation changes for some
regions, as well as individual
lakes and streams.

The province-wide changes to
federal angling regulations will
likely come into effect in April
1996. The changes are:

+ Fin fish bait — Fin fish heads
will be permitted as bait in those
areas where regulations now
allow headless fin fish as bait.

Regional offices will review
areas where fin fish bait is per-
mitted, and consult with the pub-
lic to decide if it should continue
to be allowed

+ In-season gear changes —
The director of she Fisheries

“Govemment'’s first
priority is to conserve
wild fish stocks,
but we need to
consider the impact
of everyone
interested in fish.”

— ELIZABETH CULL
Minister of Environment,
Lands and Parks

Branch will be able to make in-
season changes to gear regula-
tions (bait bans, fly fishing, etc.).
Formerly, this kind of amend-
ment to the federal regulations
took at least a year. Any gear
changes would be done in
response to conservation con-
cerns, and there would be ade-
quate public warning and notice

of any change

* Release of all foul-hooked
fish — Anglers will be required
to release all fish hooked (acer
dentally or deliberately) in any
part other than the mouth. This
will help conservation officers
enforce the prohibition On
deliberate snagging. In response
to public concern, the fisheries
program will also study the
impact of treble hooks on fish
in streams

* Only one hook, lure or arti-
ficial fly on a line Only one
piece of terminal tackle will be
allowed on a line, Anglers can
still use a single lure with mul-
tiple hooks, where regulations
permit. This regulation will not
change the way most anglers
fish, but it will clarify the
wording of the regulation for
judicial purposes.

The provincial government is
recommending that another pro-
posed regulatory change be par-
tially introduced

+ Set lines will still be allowed
for turbot and non-game fish in
lakes in Regions 6 and 7 (Skeena
and Omineca-Peace), but only
one hook (rather than three) can
be used, and it must have a hook
gap of at least three centimetres.

In addition, anglers will have
to identify their set lines by
placing their name on the float
To help conserve char in north
ern lakes, the fisheries program
may also further restrict the
number of areas where set lines
are permitted,

Angling regulations are a fed-
eral responsibility, and the
provincial government is recom-
mending that the five regulatory
changes be made. However, any
changes to the regulations would
only come into effect for the
1996 fishing season.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR CAR
FROM SHOWING ITS AGE
Looks can be deceiving, and if
you take the time to keep up
your vehicle's appearance, it can
continue to project that “new car
youthfulness” long after your
warranty wears out. The
foundation for any car's
cosmetic upkeep is regular
cleanings. Give your car a
thorough wash with cool water
and mild soap. Do it in the
shade to avoid premature drying
and streaking. If you have a
vinyl top, wash it with mild
soap, lukewarm water, and a
soft-bristle brush, capped off by
a vinyl top dressing. A soft-
bristle brush and spray cleaner
can be used on your hubcaps to
restore their natural shine.
Treating chips and scratches on
your car's finish with touch-up
paint is a little chore that can
pay off big in the long run —
especially in terms of rust
prevention. And don't forget the
interior, where a quality
upholster cleaner and periodic
vacuuming can preserve that
“showroom purity” so quickly
tarnished by the ravages of time
and travel. Take the time to
make your car look as good as
new now, and it will look as
good. as gold when you go to
sell or trade it in later. In the
meanwhile, you'll be sitting
pretty in a car you can ride with
pride...years down the road
