Se. Castlegar News May 19, 1985 We could see the pair of bluejays on the bank behind our house from the kitchen window. Fluttering and flirt- ing as young lovers do, they planned their little nest, picking up a straw here, hopping .along together, looking over a spot, chatting and bobbing around as though they were seriously thinking of building a house a few feet from ours. My wife and I watched hoping the new couple would move in. We knew they would be the best of neigh- bors. Then they flew away. “Gone to the bank to get a loan I betcha,” I said. “Maybe,” my wife said. Another day there was a robin perched as if it were looking over our strawberry patch. Anticipating the day, I thought when the plants would arise from their winter sleep and start producing those red gems that taste so good with cream. I knew of course that robins eat them ungarnished right from the garden. Now while none of us would deny them a berry or two, why do they have to peck a hole in every one? SoI gave my little friend a talking to. “You've just come from the Bahamas or Texas or some- place basking in the sunshine for the winter and now you want to spend the summer bringing up your family on my strawberries. Now get out of here.” He knew my strong lang- uage was all bluff and the lovely little thing ignored me. Another robin turned up, or perhaps the same one, and looked the lot over. She began collecting building material. It was spread out there before her for the taking mind you. “New. neighbors moving in,” we said. “The robin flew off with a mouthful of hay. The taxes too high? I wondered. The birds were beautiful. They didn't lack a thing. Groomed to perfection, heal- thy and well fed they had gone happily about their business taking no thought for the morrow. Isn't that what our Lord had said? “Behold the fowls of the air; for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly father feedeth them Are ye rot much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one eubit to his stature? And why take thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not neither do they spin: and yet I say unto you, that even Soloman in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. “Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you? O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or where- withal shall we be clothed? . For your heavenly father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Taken from Mat:6.) Wouldn't putting Christ and his teachings first in ‘ir of our lives do ith the discontent and hardship that man brings upon himself because he tries to manage his own affai instead of putting his trust in Wouldn't that be better than strikes and demonstrat ions and the uncertainties of tomorrow?

In a May 13 decision, the Canadian Transport Commission approved an application by Adastra Aviation Ltd. to operate flights between Castlegar and Cranbrook. * Adastra president Dale Nielsen said in a telephone interview today he expects to begin service July 1. How- ever, Nielsen — who learned of the Transport Commission decision from the Castlegar News — stressed the date is only a “proposed start-up.” “I'm very happy,” Nielsen added, saying he was caught off guard because of the way he found out about the Commission's decision. Nielsen says he has a six-seat twin engine Seneca ready to fly and hopes to obtain a six-seat Aztec in time for the July 1 start-up. As well, he says he has a seven- seat plane “if I need it.” Nielsen said earlier that he plans to start with one flight a day between the two cities, and hopes to expand to two flights daily. The 40-minute flight will leave Castlegar at 8 a.m. and arrive in Cran- brook at 10 a.m. It will have a 15-minute stopover in Cranbrook be- fore returning to Castlegar, arriving here at 9:15 a.m. Nielsen also said earlier that the flights will be arranged in order to con- nect with PWA and Time Air flights to Castlegar and Cranbrook. Cas 50 Cents VOL. 38, No. 41 Nielsen estimates that 20 per cent of his traffic will be connecting with PWA or Time Air. He added that the flights will cost about $105 return or $60 one way with special fares for youths, children and families. In his application Nielsen said he needs a 40 per cent load factor to break even — and expects to carry 3.5 pass- engers each way by his second year. brook, Nelson, Trail and Kimberley. A total of nine parties intervened in support of the applications and no one opposed it. Adastra’s approval bring to three the number of airlines serving Castle- gar. A fourth — Air BC — has also indicated it wants to begin serving ~ RE la DALE NIELSEN ... July 1 start ' Ne CASTLEGAR, BRITISH COLUMBIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1985 3 Sections (A, 8B & C) Groups rally fish to save ladd By CasNews Staff Local wildlife associations and pol- iticians are rallying around the prop- osed $1.5 million Inonoaklin Creek fish ladder following the recent disclosure by the Fish and Wildlife Branch that the ladder may not proceed. Last month West Kootenay fisheries biologist. Harvey Andrusak told a meeting of local wildlife association representatives that opposition to the ladder from farmers in the Inonoaklin Valley has put the ladder in jeopardy. Since then, the Castlegar and Dis- trict Wildlife Association has circulated a peti ig for Environment M Pelton to immediately negotiate a “fair and equitable solu- tion” to the problem with all parties. The problem is that farmers in the Inonoaklin Valley — which lies just north of the small community of Edge. wood — are opposed to the ladder be. cause they feel there won't be enough water for the fish ladder and irrigation needs. The ladder is part of B.C.

Crown counsel Bill Heflin refused to say why he rescinded the original or. der “Td rather not explain myself,” Hef. lin said when contacted Tuesday afternoon. He would say that he has issued a letter to the Central Kootenay Re. gional District and area municipalities informing them that his office will continue to prosecute municipal by. laws. Last month Heflin sent a letter to the regional district and municipalities saying that his office would no longer prosecute the bylaws. The letter sparked concern at Castlegar council that the city would have to hire private solicitors to pro- secute all its bylaws, pushing city costs up. The regional district board had a similar concern and filed an objection with the provincial attorney-general's ministry and took the issue to the Union of B.C. Municipalities Informed of Heflin’s decision to back down from his original order, Mayor Audrey Moore commented, “I'm not surprised.” She said the order affected mu nicipalities across the province and the attorney-general had received com plaints from the UBCM and a number of regional districts and municipalities. “If it's being rescinded, I'm happy,” Moore said. She added that the city had not yet received notice from Heflin that he is rescinding the earlier order. Hydro and Westar to help out By ADRIAN CHAMBERLAIN Dam, and at Wigwam, 240 kilometres Staff Writer ° Westar Timber Ltd. and B.C. Hydro say they will keep closer tabs on a indicated they would empty the boom at the dam FUTURE CANADIANS . . instructs Mrs. Wong By RON NORMAN Editor Castlegar will be getting more than 100 new Canadians July 1 at a special citizenship ceremony at city hall. The one-day ceremony will cap three days of special hearings, according to co-ordinator Alexas Turner of the Castlegar Multi-Cultural Society. The Society is sponsoring the citizenship classes, which began last Tuesday and run twice a week for six weeks. Turner said the idea for the classes — the first of their kind in Castlegar — came last November while she was helping her husband Gordon Turner campaign in the Castlegar school board elections. She said she visited a number of homes where the residents were ineligible to vote because they aren't Canadian citizens. The Multi-Cultural Society began advertising for one class and ended up with three large classes.

Portuguese, East Indian, Chinese, Laotian, German and Vietnamese. About 70 Portuguese residents make up the larges contingent. The Society has received a $3,000 grant from the federal Secretary of State and $500 from Castlegar council to hold the classes. Turner recently approached Castlegar council for help with ideas for events to make July 1 special for the new Canadians. Council suggested activities like a picnic, a parade, or a work party to help beautify Pioneer Arena However, administrator Dave Gairns advised that the ceremony will be special to each participant “T'm not really sure it is a community activity,” he said. He suggested the city may want to provide each of the new citizens with something representative of Castlegar Ald. Albert Calderbank added that he would look into obtaining Canadian flags to be presented to the new citizens. College eyes extra funding By CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Writer Selkirk College is submitting 11 proposals to the provincial government for consideration under the $5.8 million economic renewal and development fund. The college board Tuesday night gave its approval for the proposals totalling about $1 million to be sent to the Ministry of Education for consideration. Proposals range from tourism/hospitality courses to one proposal for a one-year training program related to agriculture, silvicultre and horticulture. Funds are to be awarded to colleges and institutes who submit acceptable proposals for projects which will foster the province's economic renewal and development Deadline for the first round of proposals is June 1 and the ministry hopes to make a decision by June 15. Although individuals and community groups were invited to contact college administrators with suggestions for local projects, college principal Leo Perra said all proposals were “primarily from within the institution.” College board member Fred Merriman commented that he was “reasonably impressed with the proposal. “I don't find any fault in any of these things,” he said. Perra also noted that every group he contacted concerning the proposals was “positive.” Asked about priorizing the proposals, Perra said that the proposals are in order of priority. But he added, “We aren't going to argue about any kind of money sent out our way.” The top proposal is the tourism/hospitality course estimated to cost $125,000. The college would hire an individual who would serve as a consultant-trainer to the industry. That person would be responsible for initiating contact with all organizations geared toward the food and hospitality industry to outline the project and carry out an assessment The project is intended to: ¢ undertake an assessment of the training requirements of the tourism hospitality industry in the Selkirk College region which generally has the same boundaries as the Kootenay Country Torism Region. © provide a variety of training programs in response to assessed needs. Courses would include: waiter/waitress training, front desk clerking/hosting, customer relations. service, y ori i h and super visory training. continued on poge A2 catch boom above the Hugh Keenley- side Dam to help solve the problem of an overabundance of wood debris on the Lower Arrow Lake. The two companies attended a two-hour meeting on the subject Tuesday night at Castlegar city hall, with Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco and Rossland-Trail MLA Chris D'Arcy among those participating. Castlegar Mayor Audrey Moore, chairing the meeting, indicated that she wanted participants to make com- mitments to clean up the Arrow Lakes. But Ron Threlkeld, B.C. Hydro super- intendent, said rushing into. solutions would be premature — and expensive. “B.C. Hydro does take responsibility for the debris that is the creation of the reservoir that is in operation,” he said. “To ovver you any more than that, I'm going to have to investigate the problem a little more thoroughly. “If you expect me to take five minutes and do that, I don't think it's fair.” Both Threlkeld and Westar Timber representatives said they would con tinue to empty and burn debris caught in booms at thé Hugh Keenleyside nside THERE'S HOPE: Steve Fonyo took his Journey for Lives run through Hope today and is back on the Trans-Canada Highway as he gets set to run into Van- couver A4 engines the fuselage RATE HIKE: Cable TV subscribers in the West Kootenay - Castlegar — will be paying more.

However, an offer from Ed Conroy of the Arrow Lakes Tugboat Society to investigate joining forces to reinstate a boom at Renata wasn't taken up by either Hydro or Westar. Threlkeld said earlier in the meeting that the boom at Renata — 10 miles north of Deer Park — was discontinued by Hydro as debris caused by the com- pletion of the reservoir diminished. Dennis MeDonald, regional director with the Nelson Ministry of Envir. onment, suggested residents living along the Arrow Lakes could volun- tarily clean up debris lying on beaches on a regular basis. “If the concern is deep enough, people just pool their resources to- gether to try and eventually lower the level of accumulated debris,” McDon- ald said. He added that “while it may look like a monumental task,” over “the period of a year, I would venture to guess that would have an impact.” continued on poge A2 including Test pilots in the planes thot flies 81
