Punks in your advertising dollars do better in................ Victoria VICTORIA (CP) — It’s not easy being a punk in this bastion of tea and crumpets. If you're not being fingered for vandalism, you're being barred from restaurants or hassled on the street by strangers. “Everyone thinks, because the punk rock look is so in timidating, that we're going to be violent,” said Amber Isaeson, 17. She said punk has evolved from its violent origins in the late 1970s into a socially ac tive, intellectually and poli April 7, 1985 Castlegar N Accounting Blinds PERSONAL INCOME TAXES PREPARED tically aware Isaeson and Andrew Hill, 14, who sports a flaming red Mohawk haircut, said many downtown coffee shops set minimum charges solely for punks.

The Ultimate Highs club was formed in February when about 30 men and women decided they'd had enough of (literally, not fig- uratively) looking down on people. Inane one-liners such as “How tall are you, anyway?” or “How’s the weather up there?” are apt to elicit, from some long fellows, a testy “grow up and find out.” It’s not that tall people are short-tempered. It's just that after years of towering above contemporaries, patience wears thin. They still stand out in a crowd, but many members of The Ultimate Highs are en. joying that disti now MOROSO, MARKIN & BLAIN CERTIFIED GENERAL ACCOUNTANTS 241 Columbia Ave. Castlegar Ph. 365-7287 SOLIGO, KOIDE & JOHN CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS 615 Columbia Ave. (Upstoirs) Castlegar Phone 365-7745 Henry John, B.Sc.

Auchinleck, 26, who's six foot-six, is a biomedical en gineer at Vancouver General Hospital. “I don't think I joined the club for moral support,” he said. “probably I get a kick in going to a place when we're in a crowd. It's quite dram atic “One of the girls is six-foot one and likes to wear three inch heels. It's great, I can walk up and look her in the eye. I really like it “I think the reason guys are interested in the club is somewhat different to the reason girls are,” says Auch. inleck, who joined for its social functions. “It’s OK for a guy to be tall, but when it’s the other way around it causes problems. For the girls in the club, I think it was as much an excuse to have someone to look up to, or at.” Entrance requirements are high — five-foot-10 for wom en and six-foot-two for men. Jeanette Miller, 30\ and nearly six-foot-one, estab- lished the club with her sim ilarly statuesque friend, Ter ri Rosman. “Since then I've noticed there aren't any wisecracks about my height, because I feel better about myself. I feel feminine; I didn’t think it was possible to be tall and feel feminine. “I was five-foot-one when I was nine years old. I had people laughing at me, it was definitely negative t Halloween, adults would say, “Don’t you think you're a lit tle old for this?” ‘@FAST COURTEOUS SERVICE @GENUINE MAYTAG PARTS OWE SERVICE ALL MAKES SPECIALIZE IN MAYTAG CASTLEGAR PLUMBING & HEATING LTD. 1008 Columbia Ave., Castlegar, B.C. 365-3388 Auctions Russell Auctions 399-4793 Thrums Buy or Sell by Auction Auto Rentals AVIS LOCATED AT OGLOW'S PAINTS & WALLCOVERINGS 365-6214 Deoler for Chimneys 2-20 Plants Flowers Plant Annex 365-3744 1241 - 3rd.

The employees, members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Leecal 2262, voted 60 per cent in favor of the agreement.

City administrator Dave Gairns said the contract also includes a five-cent an-hour increase in shift differential in each year. The average wage of legar’s unionized municipal work- ers is $13.58 an hour. There were no changes to the benefit package. Gairns added that much of the negotiations were spent on setting out detailed jpb descriptions and rewriting “the Contract. “The agreement has been completely rewritten,” he said. Gairns said the four per cent City workers get wage hike increase in the first year will bring Castlegar workers in line with muni- cipal workers elsewhere in the West Kootenay, which already have con tracts in place for 1985-86. He added that the 2.7 per cent increase for 1986-87 is the first contract for that year. “We set the precedent on the second year,” he said.

SFU PRESIDENT WOULDN'T DO IT ALL AGAIN By ADRIAN CHAMBERLAIN Staff Writer If Simon Fraser University president William Saywell was offered the top job at SFU again, he'd say no thanks Had I known it was going to be this rough, no, I wouldn't: have come.” said Saywell, who left his prestigious position as vice-provost at the University of Toronto about 18 months ago to take charge of Simon Fraser Saywell, interviewed Tuesday during a two-day tour of Trail and Castlegar, said funding cutbacks at Simon Fraser mean students pay more for less, while faculty in computer business and economies consider leaving B.C. for more lucrative Up until this point in time, I've turned down offers when people have said, ‘Will you let your name stand for the presidency of this and that job?’ And I've said no, and * said Saywell relaxed and sciences, jobs I want to continue saying no, « tieless, sitting next to an unmade bed at the Terra Nova Motor Inn in Trail. “But there's an end to my rope somewhere. I don't know whether I'm going to reach it tomorrow, or next week, or five years from now. Or hopefully, never However, Saywell says Simon Fraser's a “first rate university,” and he’s encouraged by support given him by the faculty, unions and students. And although he says he's discouraged by the limitations imposed upon him by lack of funds and B.C.’s poor economic situation, Saywell remains optimistic ‘I'm persuaded that at some point in time, somebody's going to recognize that the economic future of this province is going to depend on brain-power, not mega-projects,” he said Saywell's determined to remain at Simon Fraser for now, but he’s worried that the faculty (which took a salary cut last year) will eventually move on to higher-paying jobs in Eastern Canada and the United States. He says faculty in “hot” high-demand areas like computer science are now receiving offers of $25,000 to $35,000 more a year elsewhere While Simon Fraser's been “lucky” highly-qualified professors Saywell says under us forever.” A combination of funding cutbacks and a 27 per cent in holding onto “they can't stay continued on poge A2 Castle Bowl to receive facelift By CasNews Staff Renovations totalling $65,000 to $80,000 are in the planning stages for Castle Bowl, 206 11th Ave “We're going to tear the whole front part down,” owner Erma Mykyte said today in an interview Mykyte said the entrance will be enlarged and the living quarters ex panded. As well, a cocktail bar will be included Instead of the round roof, the front will be given a facelift including a flat roof and sides, making the building square. It's going to be beautiful,” Mykyte said.

College principal Leo Perra said in an interview Tuesday the $250,000 in extra provincial funding for the college means it won't have to make any more cuts. The funding will also enable the college to balance its budget, as well as look at keeping the Long Term Care Aid and second-year science programs. The college was initially faced with cutting $1 million from its 1985 budget. The college had cut some $750,000 from its budget but still faced a shortfall of $250,000. The college will receive one per cent more in its budget, which means it will get about $90,000 more than expected. The college had been told to cut its 1985 budget by 10 per cent, but now will cut the budget by nine per cent. As well, Interior colleges will get an additional $1.4 million to help opera tions of their satellite centres. Selkirk College's share of this is about $150,000. Post-secondary institutions will also get $3 million to help develop “new high-priority programs and to buy equipment to improve productivity” Heinrich. Selkirk College will receive about $47,000 of these funds. Colleges and institutes will also be able to get an extra $5.8 million if they come up with “innovative and imagin- ative training programs.” Perra said the ‘are being asked to come up with p ls that will lead to some form of local economic development or increase productivity. One example of a proposal might be to provide assistance to some local industry to improve its activities, he said. “It's not restricted in the traditional way a college goes about doing busi. ness,” Perra said. “They've (the government) left it fairly wide open. “We've got to come up with projects that have a good chance of improving the economic status of the local com munity,” he said. He said any kinds of suggestions from the community will be appreci. ated. Perra said proposals must be sub- mitted before the end of May Although Perra admitted the college was anticipating some extra money for operating capital, he said he was sur prised by the funds for innovative and imaginative training programs. “It provides an opportunity for insti tutes to focus on local needs and to develop innovative approaches to deal SPR wearer: according to Education Minister Jack with the positive,” he said Seniors housing plan reactivated By CasNews Staff A proposed senior citizens’ housing complex for downtown Castlegar is back on track, Castlegar council learned Tuesday The 2i-unit, two-storey complex planned for 1014 2nd St. was shelved 18 months ago when government funding dried up. However, Ald. Marilyn Mathieson. chairman of the planning committee, said the Kootenay Doukhobor Benevo- lent Society has reactivated the proposal after learning that govern ment funding is again available. Mathieson said the complex is similar to the earlier proposal except that the number of units has been in creased from 15 to 21 The complex will be located on prop erty owned by the Benevolent Society on the corner of 2nd Street and 11th Avenue, between the Castlegar library and the Russian Hall. There will be ground level entrances to all units despite the fact the building will be two stories Mathieson said, be cause the complex will be built into the hillside She added that the proposal calls for parking adjacent to the city parking lot with additional patking behind the Russian Hall Ald. Albert Calderbank expressed concern that the complex may use the city's car lot for parking. However, Mayor Audrey Moore noted that council only approved the proposal in principle and that final details must still be worked out This is preliminary,” Mathieson pointed out, adding, “It does not look like there's any problem.” In other council news, the city has already used up 55 per cent of its provisional 1985 budget for snow plowing, snow removal and sanding in just the first two months Administrator Dave Gairns said in his report to council that more money was spent on snow plowing in March because of heavy and late snowfalls. The snow plowfng budget will have to be reviewed before council sets its final budget in May, Gairns said Council gave early approval to a number of capital works projects in cluding $3.000 for a watermain to Zucker berg Island @ $10,000 for a septic tank and field for Zuckerberg Island. @ $11,300 to construct a sidewalk by Safeway © $4.500 for a sidewalk by the new Century 21 building
