The attendants wore identical tea-length gowns of royal blue satin and featured fitted bodices with spaghetti straps and short peplums. They wore long white lace gloves and carried bouquets of pink carnations and freesia. The groom wore white tie and tails with a pink rose boutonniere. Scott Kellam of Toronto served as best man, while the groomsmen were Larry Patridge of Vancouver and Will Harvie of Calgary. Their black tuxedos were accented with royal blue cummerbunds and bow ties and they wore white carnation boutonnieres.

The jury is out to consider the verdict. Is there enough evidence to convict you? Christians are recognized by their lifestyle, in the way they love one another and respond to those in need. They believe that to be a follower of Christ means taking up one’s cross daily and following Him. Christians know that put- ting their faith into practice by basing their behavior on the values that Jesus lived and taught is all-important. We are living in a world in which Gospel-values are being discarded and our presence as Christians seems to be “counter-cultural” and an embarrassment to many.

And there is no relief in sight. Jim Richards of the Castlegar airport weather office has only rained twice in Castlegar this month, but that both times the amount of precipitation was barely worth noting. Just 8 millimetres of rain fell on Sept. 14, while on Sept 2 a total of 1.2 millimetres of precipitation was recorded in the Castlegar area. “We've had a total of two millimetres of rain this month, which is nothing. I have been told that a number of creeks are drying up,” Richards said in an interview. As the temperature today was expected to reach 26 Celsius, Richards said the heat will continue to plague the Castlegar area. “It looks like it will remain dry for quite some time. No rain is forecast for the near future,” he ‘said. hat forecast comes as bad news to the residents of Ootisehenia, who have been’ experiencing water shortages all summer. Although one of four wells which was down for part of the summer is now pumping water again, Qotischenia’s water troubles are far from over. ng Baskets Na hae House Plonts Flowers a erioment Compas RESIDEN' t COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPING SERVICE 365-7312 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays 2601 - 9th Avenue, Castlegar ML.

Teachers were given the choice under Bill 20 to either remain as an association or form a local union. The bill ended the mandatory requirement for teachers to be members of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. In other areas of the province school boards followed Education Minister Tony Brummet's request and gave out lists of teachers’ names and addresses to groups wanting to send out information on whether to form an association or union. Rodgers says that was an attempt ta undermine the BCTF effort to create a network of federated local dnions. “It was just a red herring by Brummet,” Rodgers said. “He washoping for. people to leave the BCTF so that ‘hecould say, "We told you the BOTE Teachers | to form union 't represent the _ ikely teachers’.” In Castlegar, other unions have agféed not to organize teachers. Schools superintendent ‘Terry Way- ling said the district will not give out any teachers’ lists, and he had no objection to the way the CDTA is handling the organizing. Rodgers stressed that teachers will receive fair information on both the union and the association option, though the CDTA executive had already agreed on unionizing. “An association can only bargain wages and benefits if the school board chooses to arbitrate..A union will have all the rights,left to any union in this province after Bill 19,” said Rodgers. Rodgers added that “probably 74 out of the 75 districts will have unions affiliated with the BCTF.” “We haven't had any opposition, just requests for inorppation, from baprobess 7 bearing rn anme-anamee dene FOR COLLEGE ROUTE TREE TOPPER . . .

Munici- palities convention opened Tuesday in Vancouver and a full contingent from Castlegar council was on hand, armed with a lengthy list of issues to discuss with their provincial counterparts. Topping the list is a truck route bypass for the city. “That's really uppermost in im portance with the Ministry of High ways,” Mayor Audrey Moore said in an interview before leaving for the con vention. Moore said truck traffic through Castlegar has increased and a second road is needed. Other items the city plans to raise with provincial representatives during the four-day convention which ends Friday include: for the Syringa Creek Provincial Park; ° anies in the Prince George area have the i ial park debt; e funding for recreational facilities such as an aquatic centre; © municipal boundary extension.

Cominco also decided to buy its gas directly from the producer, reducing the City of Trail's fees. Meanwhile, the City of Castlegar — which will be represented at the convention by all seven council mem bers — has also proposed two resolu tions. The first concerns the order of - names on election ballots. Names are presently placed in alphabetical order, but Castlegar coun cil proposes the names be placed in order according to a draw by lot. ‘The second resolution calls for a nuclear weapons free zone for all of B.C. Castlegar points out that a “clear majority” of B.C, residents have demonstrated a “deep concern” about the buildup of nuclear arms. Couneil points to the fact 45 municipalities have declared themselves nuclear weapons free zones. ‘New Democrat leader Mike Har ¢ourt and ‘Premier Bill Vander Zalm will address the City wants second bus By CasNews Staff Castlegar council plans to press the provineial government for a second bus to improve service to Selkirk College.

A delegation from the Kootenay Society for En- vironmental Projects presented a brief to the board outlining a campaign to fight CP Rail’s herbicide spraying peltially, now that legal means have CP Rail was bus on the college route in light of the increase in college enrolment. However, B.C, Transit officials have ruled out another bus for Castle- gar — at least in the near future. In a letter to Castlegar council, Chris Foord, senior transportation planner for B.C. Transit, said ridership levels must increase before a second bus can be considered. “Ridership, particularly when col- lege and secondary school students use the bus, would have to increase,” Foord said. “Should we see a consistent in- crease to loads of 45-50 students on these trips, then we can look at two possibilities to adjust the service.” The first option is to expand the service. But Foord said this is unlikely. “Many communities have been waiting for five years for additional funds to implement approved service expansions,” he noted. “Given the lack of additional funds this year and the outlook for next year, it does not look hopeful for an early approval of expansion The second option to improving service to the college is by reallocating buses from Trail. However, Foord said this option depends on a second vehicle being available. continued on pege AZ HANSEN BOOK: Readers of a new book on Rick Hansen will get o glimpse of his private lite and a in peypieeore an injunction to stop it from spraying the herbicide Spike 80W along rail lines in the Regional District of Central Kootenay. . The school board said it is concerned about students who use the CPR bridge to walk from Raspberry to Castlegar, and for those students who have bus stops near the tracks. ‘According to delegation member Pat Romaine, a school bus stop near his home “couldn't be closer to the CPR tracks if it was under it. Kids get to the stop early and play around on the side of the tracks.” Romaine felt that the spraying in such areas was “insane” and grounds for, 4 charge of “public- mischief.” CP Rail’s spraying program was approved on the grounds that Spike 80W is certified ag a safe chemical in better under di of what life was like during the 26 months he spent cir- cling the globe, says Debi Pelletier in a review of the book...
