CASTLEGAR NEWS 197 Columbia, 365-7266 Burritos big with Canadians: TORONTO (CP) — Tacos and Edmonton, Vancouver and Toronto) but a U.S. restaurant chain is banking on them becoming as crowded Canadian restaurant bosiness. In the past 2% years, six Chi-Chi’s outlets have spring up from Vancouver to Canadian provinces and seven American states, In the U.S, three per cent business as a whole. GROSSING 83 MILLION Will it happen here’ Merrill Anderson, chairman and chief executive officer of Consul, and James Crivits, the chised restaurants are gross- ing as much as $8 million a year. f Parc_ oi their optimism stems from the fact that Canadians are just as enthu- siastic as Americans about eating out and market trends tend to show up herea couple | of years after the U.S. But Mexican food has something else going for it, says Anderson — the econ- omic times. Mexican food is cheap and there's generally plenty of it on a plate. “(Mexican res- taurants) serve more good food for less money than any other chaim- concept today,” says Anderson. Crivits boasts that $80 will feed a family of four at Chi-Chi’s — and that includes a margarita for the two adults. The two officials were in Toronto for Monday's opening and a third Chi-Chi's outlet is in the works for the city. Chi-Chi's just reported fourth-quarter earnings of - $2.6 million U.S. or 17 cents a share, up from $1.1 million or seven cents a share in the same period last year. For its fiseal year, it earned $9.1 million of 61 cents a share, compared with $4.2 million or 29 cents a share the previous year, Mildly spiced food made from fresh ingredients amid comfortable surroundings make up the marketing mix here.

Dr. Terry Pagan, suspend- ed director of the Selkirk Health Unit, is charged with five counts of sexual assault. The court date was set by. Judge Stewart Enderton in provincial court Monday. A preliminary hearing is held to determine whether or not there is enough evidence to warrant proceeding with a trial. Because it is not yet known whether a trial will be held, Dr. Pagan has not entered a plea of guilty or not guilty, nor elected for judge alone versus judge and jury. Dr. Pagan, who lives north of Nelson, is alleged to have sexually assaulted three chil- dren under the age of 12 1982 - VANCOUVER (CP) — incident in which seven bas Randall told Schmidt ple charged with drug of- _ fences were “spirited away” Crown prosecutor Chris it he would proceed: by. direct in- ictment, eliminating _ the froma in the mid- dle of a bail hearing earlier this week represents an “ac: gresvion against the justice system,” provincial court Judge Dennis Schmidt says.

The increase will enable the city water system to be- come self sufficient in five years, Ald. Len Embree told council, Tuesday. “What we get in water rates will pay for the system.” Embree said. The increase means the average homeowner will pay $54 a year for water service, up from $62. Some property owners may find their water rates increased by more than three per cent because of a stream- lining of the water rate class- ification system, commented City Clerk Ron Skillings in an interview.

The provinces are looking into a system that probably would add up to $50 auto- matically to sentences and fines imposed by judges, government officials said Tuesday. Federal Justice Minister Mark MacGuigan has endorsed the program, they said. A recent federal. reenact study, which Pp ministers across Canada, found that a ‘substantial amount of money could be raised.
