The women had tasted for 22 days. Braun-and-Zmaeff began their fast ina quest for full parole. The women’s cases will be reviewed becaus¢ ‘new information has come to light,” National Parole Board regional director Fraser Simmons said Simmons said he could not discuss the information but he said it is com mon for parole to be reviewed when new information arises If Braun and Zmaeff are granted parole, they will be expected to comply with the eight standard regulations of release, including remaining in the area they are released to and agreeing to obey the law and keep the peace, Sim- mons said Additional restrictions can be im posed by the parole board if it deems them necessary, he said The woien may be released in the Kootenays as has been done in the past, hesaid. However, he added that a study will have to be conducted first to determine if there would be com munity support for the women. During decades of imprisonment, Braun and Zmaeff have fasted a num- ber of times. Both women were gran- ted federal pardons in 1983 following a hunger strike with fellow Freedomite Mary Astaforoff Astaforoff, 71, died in 1985 following a protest fast which lasted 54 days. In 1985, Braun and Zmaeff were sentenced to more than 10 years each By Cas News Staff Castlegar Firefighters have been awarded $5,223 from the British Columbia Louery Fund to help restore an antique fire truck This 1924 fire truck played a significant role in the firefighting history of the Castlegar area, * said Bill Reid, Minister of Tourism and Provincial Secretary in announ cing the funding. “Its restoration is important, as it Will preserve a sec tion of this community's past A lot of volunteer time is being put into this project by the lirelighters and | am pleased to seee their ef lorst supported by this award,”” said Reid, the minister responsible forthe fund Ihe B.C proceeds from loueries operated Louery Fund uses by the B.C. Lottery Corporation to support a wide range of conr munity initiatives. Dick Dunlop, the Castlegar nor th firehall restoration chairman suid the bunds received are only a third of the $15,000 that was ap: plied for, But he added that the $5,223 received will definitely help ‘There is a fair amount of chroming to go on which gets fairly expensive,”” he said. *‘It definitely will get us a lot further than we would be without it.” The firefighters estimate it will cost $12,000 to $15,000 to totally restore the fire tuck. After the $5,000 is used up the shortfall will have to be raised through other means. The firefighters hope to have the truck completed by next spring. So tar the frame has been done and the engine is back in the truck. Some of the firefigtiters are now working on the oak for the flooring and run ningboards while some of the chroming has been completed. There are between 20 and 25 firemen working on the restoration project at the firehall in south Castlegar The Castlegar firefighters pur Lottery funds awarded to restore fire truck chased the truck from Westar Timber for $100 about a year ago with the intention of rebuilding it Work on the truck got underway last December The truck was originally pur chased by the City of Trail in 1923 Tt was sold to the Kinnaird Fire Department, which had it for a short time before it was sold to Waldie’s sawmill. When Waldie's was sold in the 1950s, the fire truck wenttothe new owners. The truck was stored at the sawmill for a number of years, now known as Westar limber. The truck has been used tor parades in the past Dunlop says the firelightery arc looking for more information and any photographs on the old-truck The truck is a 1923) White firetruck. lt was originally a Chemical Wagon and had a soda acid lank. ALsome point, the tanks were removed and the truck becume more of a hose truck, says Dunlop for burning a building near Castlegar. They went on a 107-day fast to protest their convictions which ended in 1987 when they were granted day parole Braun’s day pardle was revoked in September 1988 after the Kootenay house she was staying in burned down. Zmaeff's parole was revoked at the same time. Lawsuit to proceed, Cady says By CasNews Staff The-Regional_District_of Central Kootenay and three other regional districts will proceed with their lawsuit seeking property taxes from B.C Hydro as soon as they carrget a court date, RDCK chairman George Cady said Saturday “We have to wait for our solicitors to find out when the court calendar permits the earliest possible date,” Cady said. Central Kootenay, Kootenay Boundary, East Kootenay -and Columbia-Shuswap regional district Officials have approved $180,000 for their legal battle which will ask the court to force B.C. Hydro to pay property taxes on its Columbia River Tready dams and related properties. The Social Credit government of W.A.C. Bennett in 1968 exempted the Crown utility from paying school, hospital and nvunicipal taxes on the dams and related land. Instead, B.C Hydro pays local governments small grants in ligu of taxes but pays higher Lanes elsewhere in the province Hydro pays taxes everywhere else in-the-province-except-in-this area,” Cady said Lhat_cxemption from paying millions of-dotlars-inr tax revenue is discrimination against residents in the Tour regional districts and violates Sec tion 1S of the Charter of Rights, the regional districts’ lawyers will argue continued on poge AZ tenays Howard Dirks told ad- visory group members in Trail Satur- day Delivering a “report card”’ recommendations the — advisory group’s task forces put forward and the advisory group adopted Oct. 14, Dirks (MLA— Nelson-Creston) said he was pleased by the progress that has been made on the recommendations. The area has not received everything iff asked for, dations have been completed or are being looked at, he said The report said some of the recom- mendations that have been implemen- ted include: © Widening of the Cape Horn Bluffs area of Highway 6, which was announced last week. The highway will be widened to two lanes and the work will goto tender in mid-May © A number of paving projects are set to proceed, including the Kootenay on the but many recommen- Channel bridge on Highway 3 (Salmo to Creston) and the Salmo to Meadows siding. © B.C.

The recommen- dations that were presented and ap- proved by the advisory group in- cluded: © a recommendation by the government services task force that 10 additional computers be purchased for the government agents offices; and * a recommendation by the utilities task force to support in prin- ciple an application by Westar Mining and Fording Coal Ltd. for an Energy Project Certificate if environmental concerns are addressed through public hearings Recommendations passed by the advisory group-are given to Dirks who takes them to the province.

Dirks also announced the Kootenays have been chosen as the launch area for a new provincial government service for-businesses that will provide information, counselling, referral services and business-skill training. Engineer to examine Kinnaird heat, air By CasNews Staff The Castlegar school board wants a consultant to look into heating and air- quality problems at Kinnaird elemen- tary school A mechanical engineer will be hired through_the board's architect Bob Mansfield, school district secretary- treasurer John Dascher said, because heating cables in the floor of the school’s gymnasium are not providing adequate heat to the room during cold weather The consultant will be asked to con- sider if putting a heater on the fresh-air intake unit on the roof would solve the problem, school district maintenance supervisor Andy Boolinoff said. The consultant will also examine the school’s air quality that in early 1988 was found to have high levels of carbon dioxide, public health inspector Jen- nifer Glasgow said The problem was rectified when air vents were opened and cleaned, Glasgow said. ~ Although the air in the school seems fine now, the board wants the situation checked, Dascher said
