Associate Fraternal Royal Canadian Legion Camp provides time for growth By CasNews Staff OK, you've donated some money to the United Way and now you're wondering where it went. If you could follow your money from the moment you signed the cheque and dropped it in the donation box to its eventual use, the route might lead you straight to Koolaree. Located on 131 acres of secluded land — you can only reach it by boat — eight miles east UNITED WAY FEATURE of Nelson, Camp Koolaree offers people of any race, creed, color, or age an opportunity for growth in all areas of life. From the spiritual to the physical, the intellectual to the emotional, people can search for self expansion and awareness in a semi-wilderness setting and in the context of a Christian group living model. More than 150 girls and boys at- tended the camp this summer — it’s open from the end of June to mid-August. Koolaree — a name taken from the first letters of the Kootenay Lake Religious Education Council — is partially funded by the United Way, registration fees, private donations and the United Church. Castlegar resident Frank Crockett has been involved with the camp ‘‘in one way or another’’ since he first went there as a cam- per in 1955. Crockett, now a camp director, says Koolaree is special for many reasons, but what really makes it different is the people who are at- tracted to it. , “We have people from about every denomination go there. There’s no one group that sticks out,”’ he said. ‘‘It’s quite popular. A lot of people have gone through the camp through the years. It's been around a long time and you keep running into people who have been involved in the camp in one way or another."” Begun in 1931, Koolaree is owned by the United Church and operated by the authority of the Kootenay Presbytery. Camps are run by volunteer directors and leaders. A daily schedule is followed which _in- cludes time for worship and Bible study, time for camp chores and for-crafts, recreational activities such as swimming and canoeing, time for campfire singing, quiet contemptation and observing nature, and time for good fellowship with leaders and other campers.

The 1990-91 fiscal year’s $15.2- billion budget could have a deficit, he told reporters. And he said if he isn’t careful, the province could have a $2 billion to $3 billion deficit next year. Asked if he expects a deficit at the end of this budget year March 31, he replied: ‘‘If the present trend con- tinues, the trend line i we expenditure pressures in some sectors, health care being the principle one,”’ he said. Couvelier has already asked ministries to cut 1.5 per cent from their current budgets and to present 1991-92 budgets that are five per cent less than what they were allotted this fiscal year, As for a possible $2 billion to $3 billion deficit next year, half can easily be trifmmed from the “wish li ries generally present for yudget consideration, he said. The so-called rainy day fund, the Bhdget ilization Fund, could also would have a deficit. “‘Figures change every week as I get new results,”’ he said, refusing to get into specifics about the size of a deficit. “Iv ll be very difficult to balance a budget next year given the expected drop in revenues with the continuing be\used to smooth over the rough time3>Couvelier said. “There is a billion’and 70 million dollars worth of dollars in the account which I can use to prevent showing a deficit in any period,’’ he said. “That is a device that jable to us and might have the effect of Purchase completed UtiliCorp United announced that its PSI subsidiary has completed the acquisition of a natural gas gathering system and processing facilities in western Oklahoma for approximately $31 million US.

Ministers urge conservation OTTAWA (CP) — Federal and Provincial energy ministers don’t foresee gasoline rationing, but they’re urging consumers to conserve energy to ease an uncomfortable fuel supply situation. And federal Energy Minister Jake Epp warns the price of gasoline could go up 10 cents a litre in the next two months because of increased crude oil Prices that haven’t yet been passed on. “*We're not preparing the Canadian people for gas rationing, and that's not on,”’ said Epp. ‘‘What we are doing is looking at voluntary restraint.”” And consumers could be paying 45 to 50 cents a litre for home heating oil this winter — about 10 cents higher than current levels, says an analyst with Canadian Enerdata, an energy consulting firm. Crude oil prices have gone up since the crisis in the Persian Gulf. ““Were we to have an abnormally cold winter again this year, together with price increases resulting from the crude oil situation, we could see, in my estimation, furnace oil prices in the 45 to 50 cent per litre range,’’ Richard Zarzeczny said. Homeowners in the Atlantic provinces, Ontario and Quebec would be the most severely affected if a shor- tage occurs, Zarzeczny said. Those provinces account for the bulk of the country’s heating oil consumption. Crude oil has been trading at $39 to $40 US a barrel since the gulf crisis erupted. Some analysts say that could. g0 to $50 to $60 if war breaks out. Statistics Canada says about 17 per cent of Canadian homeowners used heating oil last year. About 44 per cent heated with natural gas and 33 per cent with electricity. Epp said Ottawa is planning an in- formation campaign on energy con- servation but it won't protect con- sumers from price increases. There hasn't been evidence of price gouging by oil companies, he added. Epp conceded gasoline rationing might be necessary if the Inter- wal Energy Agency, of which Canada is a member, requires oil- sharing among members. Alberta Energy Minister Rick Or- man said that’s not likely to happen. “The only time that possibility would present itself is if there’s an armed conflict in the Middle East at the same time we see tremendously cold, winters in Europe and North America and at the same time there is significant damage to infrastructure in the Middle East.'" Before moving to oil-sharing, coun- tries with emergency oil reserves — the United States, Germany and Japan — would be required_to draw them down. There are roughly a billion barrels of oil in such emergen- cy reserves. Canada has no stockpiles of oil for an emergency because Canada is a net energy exporter and under IEA rules exporting countries don’t need emergency reserves, DON’T BE DISAPPOINTED Book your expert help now for your winter renovation project.
