And this means Jost tourism dollars from American boaters, he adds. But B.C. Hydro, who have assumed responsibility for the clearing of the lake debris since the construction of the Hugh Keenleyside Dam in 1968, say it's no real lem. Every year in July, the water in the Lower Arrow Lake reaches its highest point of 440 metres above sea level. Regulated by the Hugh Keenleyside dam, this is approximately 21 metres above the lowest level — which usually occurs in February. With the water rise — which lasts roughly from June to September —.comes the debris. Everything from twigs to full-sized boom logs that have settled @long the banks ef the upper and lower Arrow Lakes — whieh extend about 240 kilometres north to Revelstoke — begin to float and spread out. The annual spreading of debris causes thousands of dollars worth of headaches for boaters in the form of twisted and broke propellers and engine drives, says Tait, whose marina is a few kilometres up from the Hugh Keenleyside dam. And this, im turn, means lost summer tourism revenues for the Castlegar area from Americans who take one look at the lake, and pull their boat trailers elsewhere, he says, “A lot of Americans come up here . . . and they can't believe it, in feet, they're horrified when they see (the debris),”- said, Dh “This lake Bas a lot of potential to Castlegar. as far as tourists, But agt as long as the debris is there.” ; Ron Giles, owner of Henne's Marine Lid. in Castle: Pe taew “There's not as many Americans coming ap tbe rivet > —Tim taiking 10 years ago,” be qxid! interest in the debris on the daowet Arrow iene b brings Bim repait business.

He says, judging from the increased number of propeller repairs he’s getting this year, the amount of debris on Lower Arrow Lake may even be inereasing But just how extensive is the debris on the Lake? Tait said one year the breakwater in front of his marina collected an estimated seven square acres of drift. And for three days this week debris collected around Tait’s marina “as far as the eye could see,” he said Tait and his family have spent hundreds of hours collecting the debris by hand and with boom logs since he constructed his marina four years Ina letter addressed to B.C. Hydro written Feb. 15 complaining about the problem, Tait wrate: “Early in the spring of 1983 we launched « massive clean-up program. This entailed pulling all the @rift down off the banks and putting it into piles to be burned. We piled all the drift colleeted in our drifttempound from the past two years. During spring-break — March 27 - April 5 — our two kids, three visiting nephews and two local friends spent their time burning these piles of drift. Esti mated man-hours for the-job: 224 hours.” Tait said 166 hours were spent over 27 days collect ing drift earlier this year. “That is an average of six hours a day,” “We don't have time for that” . A letter addressed to Tait dated March 27 from D.J McLennan, a manager for B.C. Hydro in Vernon, stated: “It is our basic impression that the Arrow Reservoir is in general free of drifting debria.” The letter notes that “this can be temporarily upset by unusual natural events” such a6 béavy Paina, and the construction of railways and highways, But “the Arrow reservoit was originally cleared to an exceptionally high standard and to the best of our knowledge all debris eae Ven SE Sheik be said Tait. ‘intendent the Hugh Keenleyside dam, et dotrie tes prethtorthes cxsmiifinioeh alia and ““patural lakes evéry year, he said ina phone interview from Vernon. “Any réservoir-T've heen involved saith, shbke ie debris.” he siid. = ontinwed on pape A? rs the West K. ys and across the rest of Western Canada, could see the Castlegar, Nakusp and Nelway area being put in an “extreme” fire hazard situation as early as Monday morning. A campfire ban was already in place Friday and forestry crews were combating two fires in the Arrow Lakes Forest District caused by thunderstorms early Thursday morning, But Skip Walsh, resource officer for protection of the Arrow Lakes Forest District said Friday that if the hot weather continues, the fire hazard could be moved from high to extreme in the Castlegar, Nakusp and Nelway areas. Forestry officials will also decided whether to patrol provincial parks — the only place where the campfire ban does not exist — as part of keeping watch for forest fires. Jim Richards of the Castlegar weather office says the tropical air across Western Canada is expected to continue. This could cause more forest fires as a result of thunderstorms. A storm passed through the area Thursday morning between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. when 500 strikes were recorded in the West Kootenays with the north end of Kootenay Lake, the Arrow Lakes and Creston being the hardest hit. Of these 500 strikes about 100 occured in the Arrow Lakes Forest District, which, according to Walsh, resulted in at least two fires, one in Beaton near Nakusp and another northwest of Nakusp. When Walsh was contacted, planes were patrolling the area looking for ENVIRONMENT 2,000 Projects provid By. CasNews Stafl Two forestry-related summer em ployment projects approved by the Castlegar Ministry of Forests office are providing work for 21 young people in the area. The two projects are part of Envir. onment Canada’s Environment 2,000 youth job creation program, which will create 88 jobs in the Kootenay during 1984/85. In B.C., where a total of about $6 million for 21,000 work weeks will be spent, 1,200 jobs will be created The pay isn't high at $3.66-an-hour minimum wage, but the jobs are despite a suggested 600 square metre reduction.

He also added that he had been in touch this week with Coleen Rogers, head of B.C.'s Airport Services Branch at Transport Canada, who said 1,800 square metres is still the target size in 7 aircraft showed a reduced demand for terminal space. Bot Rogers told Kristiansen that figures show 2 need for the full existing 1,800 square metres. needed in the Kootenays, where unem. ployment among young people is up to 50 per cent in some areas, said Brad Price, Okanagan-Kootenay community liaison officer for Environment 2,000. The jobs are for people aged 16-24, or those over 50, he said. Some people hired for Castlegar approved projects are doing surveys on the conditions of forests by Goose Creek, Shields Creek, north of the Nancy Greene Lake, and Santa Rosa Creek, west of Rossland. Others are making plot surveys, on weeding and cutting back brush around seedlings near Erie Creek and Char- bonneau Creek, in the Slocan Valley, and Blueberry Creek, said Herb T operations superintend. at the Castlegar forests office. He said most of those hired for Castlegar-approved projects are fores try graduates from technical schools, or those who have forestry-related ex perience About 30 more projects for B.C. have more possible fires in the area The firesjin the Arrow Lakes district are two of about 480 fires burning in the province. A storm also passed through the area Wednesday night, but there were no fires or lightning strikes in the Arrow Lakes district but surrounding districts did get fires. Meanwhile, Richards said temper atures Thursday soared to 37 degrees Celsius breaking the old record of 35 set in 1975. The weather office was expecting temperatures to get as high as 39 on Friday. According to weather statistics, it's been days since any rain fell on Castlegar. The last rain recorded was 1.6 mm on July 20. The total thus far for the month is 8.5 mm, which is extremely close to the record low precipitation of 3.3 mm set in 1973. The normal precipitation is 39.4 Last July's precipitation was 107.9 mm. e job yet to be finalized with their sponsors, who are required to submit proposals. These will provide another 200 jobs at a cost of $1 million In the Kootenays, $510,610 will be used to create jobs under the Envir onment 2,000 program. Approved projects include: develop- ment of a nature trail along Busk Marsh in Nelson; creating a number of trails for cross-country skiing and hiking in the Slocan Valley; enhancing a recreational area in Kimberley; re storing a wildlife habitat in the Creston Valley; gathering data on tree nutrient status at Canal Flats; juvenile spacing, clearing, weeding and thinning at Cranbrook; and conducting pest man agement and disease control surveys in Golden.

Progressive Conservatives and New Democrats. The Gallup poll was taken July 5-8, when Prime Minister Turner was in London asking the Queen to postpone her visit to Canada. It reports the Liberals down a per centage point on the previous Gallup poli, with 48 per cent of the decided national vote, the Conservatives up a point at 39 per cent, and the New Democrats unchanged at 11. Of those surveyed 38 per cent were reported to be undecided, pp from 28 per cent in the previous Gallup, taken June 21-23.
