Page 4B The Castlegar Sun Wednesday, July 15, 1992 Castlegar Rail Station welcom SUBMITTED _ A seven-car train made up of Privately-owned diners and sleepers from the United States made an unscheduled stop at the old CPRail Station downtown Castlegar this Fourth of July The luxury train — with about 60 people from Chicago, Los Angeles, St. Louis and other US locations — rode the rails while on eight-day excursion from Duluth, Minnesota, visit- ing enroute this area's leading heritage attractions. On arrival in the West Koote- + eS IWS Please Recycle the Sun nay, the US tour train visited Slocan City on Friday, then came to Castlegar the same afternoon when it followed the historic CPR line to West Rob- son to take the American visi- tors to Celgar Pulp Co., Lid. for a tour of the pulp mill. Proceed- ing without publicity, by arrangement with the CPRail, the train then slipped out of Castlegar for an overnight stay at Birchbank Friday night. The next day, July 4, after a morning visit in Trail — where it took the touring group up the Warfield Hill — the American excursion train returned to Castlegar, then moved on to Nelson. “The object is to run the train where passenger trains never go,” said Mark Johnson, a Blue- berry resident who caught the train home Friday evening from the pulp mill. Indeed, this was the first train running through Castlegar since 1982 when the Royal Hudson was in the area on excursion The July 4 train was greeted enthusiastically by a group of local youngsters who sighted the unusual train and followed it to the CPRail Station Museum The train surprised a number of visitors to the historic Station run by the Castlegar & District Heritage Society. While some of the American visitors got off the train in Castlegar, for a side excursion in a rented car to Kaslo, the train continued on its way to Nelson for a quick afternoon viewing of Nelson's heritage project, the newly restored Street Car No. 23 that began running July 1. The same evening the train left for Yakh N. Creston on its return trip across the border at the close of the US National holiday. Aside from the 1982 passage of the Royal Hudson, the last train to stop at the historic Castlegar station was in 1976, according to railway personnel servicing the tour. Daily passenger service between Nelson and Trail (via Castlegar) was discontinued in 1949. In 1958, mainline service from Vancouver via the Kettle Valley was cut, and in 1988 the CPRail was given permission to abandon its West Robson-Mid- way branch line.

Berry Preserves 2 cups (500 ml.) water As I sit in preparation of this introductory column I am amazed at the opportunity I have been given to share some of the simplest lessons ever learned in my time. As I look around me today and see marital breakdowns, sin- gle parents, and a growing num- ber of step families it occurs to me that it is no wonder we are Plagued with an endless stream of crime, abuse, confusion and general chaos in our society. But let's not get philosophical and boring. Let's get to the meat of the matter and choose a place to begin. As I venture through my writ- ings which I hope to share with you, we will explore such theo- ries as accountability, honesty, | Being sorry usually depicts a need (rust, giving, sharing, and yes, even receiving. Feelings and their motivating factors, belief Systems and the list goes on. The Brenda Hogstead Lifeskills, for the young, old and willing One issue that seems to surface at all times is the need for effective communication skills. Now there's a good place to stant. Take the times when you bump into someone at the Super- market and say, “I’m sorry.” Are you really sorry? Heck no! They were parked in the middle of the Is there a Dr. Tomorrow When you last visited your dentist and the oral hygienist gave you the bill after cleaning your teeth, did you wonder why such simple services cost so much these days? Some dentists charge up to $100 to clean your teeth. Isn't there a more econom- ical way? When I saw the latest alterna- tive option I bought it: a scientif- ically designed Japanese toothbrush (registered with Health and Welfare Canada) that contains a Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) metal rod that runs through a replaceable head and into the handle. What it claims to do at first seems like either magic Or quackery. But apparently it works. This metal, said to be a semiconductor, uses solar energy in a similar manner as a solar- powered calculator. As long as there is light and moisture it will work to its full capacity. Strange- ly enough the TiO2 rod never wears down or needs replacement (The brush heads should be replaced every. four to six months). According to the manufacturer plaque bacteria act on food, pro- ducing acid. This acid sometimes a Luxury 2 Bedroom WATERFRONT aisle in a trance More likely you're probably annoyed and even more so now for having s “sorry”. Or maybe you're really out of touch (like my tendency) and are sorry for everything and every prob. lem on earth. Let's get real here, maybe if I hadn't been born, global warm- ing wouldn't be such a big deal Or maybe you're the miserable type who believes it's always someone else's fault Whatever the case, how many of us say what we really mean? And how many times have you said “sorry” and gotten the dreaded “no response”. Then comes another confusing array of Possible emotions, perhaps anger at the person for being so insen- future in chea causes bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease. Although sali- va normally neutralizes this action, when plaque builds up, it acts as a barrier, preventing the neutralization action of the saliva. According to clinical studies, this type of toothbrush, known as Soladey-2, may stop such Plaque build-up. Working in conjunction with human saliva, the brush con- trols and reduces bacteria respon- sible for plaque. How is this accomplished? It is claimed that in conjunction with light, the titanium oxide rod releases negatively-charged (this is the good type) electrons or ions. The light can be natural, flu- orescent or a standard light bulb. You face towards the light when brushing and keep your mouth open. The negative electrons, as they blend with the saliva, attract Positively charged hydrogen ions from the acid in the plaque. End result: acid is neutralized and Plaque is reduced. Chemists rec- ognize this as a photochemical reaction The operation produces no electric shock, the toothbrush doesn’t vibrate and creates no unpleasant taste.
