The last phase of the renovations — founded with a final $5,000 installment of a $40,000 B.C. Heritage Trust grant — began January 2 and completed the work on the ground floor to restore the railway station to a 1930s look. The station was built in 1907, replacing an early CPR trail depot of 1902, but its history as a heritage building began in. 1987 when the city of Castlegar bought the station — for a token dollar — from the CP Rail corporation, saving it from _ inevitable demoliton. D’Arcy referred to the efforts of the city and its heritage com- mittee to save the station -by moving it across the CP Rail track back in 1987. After paying moving expenses of about $40,000, the city turned the building over to the volunteer- based heritage society for restoration to a home-town museum. “I want to congratulate those who had a dream and made sure that the building wasn't bulldozed,”’ said D'Arcy. “It is a ready-made functional museum in the heart of old Castlegar."” A long-time resident of Castlegar, D'Arcy quipped: “I’m old enough to remember when this really was a CPR station. I remember how simple it was. You came here to buy a ticket and they issued you a square piece of cardboard,’ The historic station had been closed since early January for a final renovation which was com- pleted only days before the opening. “Two days ago the Place was empty,"’ said Carolee Fitz-Gerald Koreen and Gordy Hill, both retired, ‘‘who came here every day for four months, ‘without whom we'd never have accom- plished all this.’’ The station is now open daily from 9 a.m. to $ p.m. A souvenir please see RAILWAY page AS of the society's Collector's Faire committee, She also noted that “‘a kid (passing by the station) asked if this’ was a new building.”’ Sherrel Koreen, president of the society, said she wanted to thank the two volunteers, Karl Doll collection graces museum By BARBARA TANDORY Special to the Castlegar News A rare family doll collection opened May 4 at the Castlegar Railway Station Museum, offering a display of dolls ranging in age and: origin collected by Castlegar ®. resident Alice Dyck.

The granddaughter, Michelle Ratke, will inherit the original Gibson Bride doll, currently displayed in @ glass cabinet on the main floor of the Castlegar railway station. Dyck has made costumes for many of the dolls herself and she has names for all of them. These are ‘‘just dolls from my mother's house,” Dyck’s older daughter Suzy Ratke said. ‘‘She has a guest cottage in the back yard full of dolls,’’ Ratke and her sister, Gwen, helped their mother in the doll’s room at the daughters: present at the opening ceremony Saturday, Dyck said collecting dolls has been a lifetime passion with her “Every time 1 got (my daughters) a‘doll, I'd keep them, put them in the attic,"’ she said, clutching one or another favorite doll from her collection, Dyck, 73, still has a 60-year- old baby doll from her own childhood, kept in the spare rooms and the -attics of the family homes along with her daughters’ discarded dolls.

Cohen “Secure your home market first then expand, because even if you don’t plan to leave your backyard you're going to have to defend it.”’ It was growing globalization that led to the 1989 merger of Molson Breweries of Canada and Carling O'Keefe of Canada, he said.
