Add a splash of ingenuity, a dash of common sense, a pinch of creativity, and an ounce of determination and you have the ingredients for an award-winning salon design. Avenues Hairdesign Ltd. of Castlegar, B.C., Canada is a winner of the Modern Salon Magazines’ “Salon of the Year” interior design contest. The salon won in the category of remodelled, one-to-four styling station category. Modern Salon Magazine judged more than 300 salons from throughout North America. Judging was performed by Modern Salon editors, interior design experts in the salon field and design experts from outside the field. The criteria for judging included: concept, esthetics. practicality, color, use of comfort concepts for client and stylist, and materials used. The challenge for Dwayne and Doreen Mills, owners of Avenues Hairdesign Ltd. was to create a more efficient traffic pattern, to eliminate clutter and to give privacy for esthetic services (facials, manicures, waxing) and chemical services (perms, colors and highlighting). The salon was kept clean and simple in line and color to give a relaxed atmosphere. The salon was taken from 650 square feet to 2000 AVENUES HAIRDESIGN ++.

Looking ahead to the future made it easier to put up with the inconveniences of progress. On completion, the salon design includes: semi- private styling stations, a private perming and coloring services room, two private esthetic rooms, a separate room for make-up and image improvement classes, two client washrooms and a large waiting room and retail area. There are now four businesses working together from the Avenues premises: Avenues Hairdesign Ltd. with Dwayne and Doreen Mills owners; Assisi Skin Care with Darleen Ward owner; Vee's Electrolysis Veronica Pellerine owner; and Extensions of color with Darleen Ward and Doreen Mills owners. City recog “Heritage” was the key word for Castlegar in 1987 as the city and its residents finally recognized the value of the past After months of restoration, the dream island. chapel house of a Russian immigrant who died more than 25 years ago was opened in June. The Zuckerberg Island chapel house was built by Alexander Zuckerberg, who acquired the island in 1951. Castlegar Mayor Audrey Moore applauded the community's new-found interest in the area’s heritage, noting: “I think it's going to mean a lot to us, not only now, but in the future.” Then last fall, a second major heritage structure was in the spotlight: The 80-year-old CP Rail station was formerly turned over to the city and moved onto a new site at the foot of 3rd Street. The relocation allowed CP Rail to construct a new station house, but didn't take away from the historic character of the station because it only moved a few feet from its longtime home. The move took nearly a week to complete and attracted hundreds of spectators when it was actually lifted onto a truck and hauled across the tracks. It is appropriate that heritage should rise to the fore just as Castlegar is once again claiming its proper place as the transportation hub of the Kootenays. In early days the city's central location made it a commercial centre long before Europeans settled the area. Then at the end of the last century, the CPR recognized there was a profit to be made in the Kootenays and built the east-west railways and started the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. (later Cominco) and West Kootenay Power and Light Co. Castlegar's historic pattern as a transportation centre was firmly established. A specially-commissioned report by the Castlegar and District Development Board made public in 1987 recom. aa A ' nizes past More than 800 teachers converged on Castlegar for the two-day event. Earlier in the year some 2,700 Jehovah's Witnesses travelled to Castlegar for three days of meetings and seminars. @ A new 60-bed long term care facility is in the works for the Castlegar and District Hospital. The project is estimated to cost $4.3 million. Castlegar school district finished major upgrading to the Stanley Humphries-secondary school gymnasium and then announced it is looking at spending another $2 to $3 million to upgrade the rest of the school. e The $445,000 Castlegar Library was officially opened and has been so well received by the community that circulation has doubled. ¢ A $165,000 renovation to the Robson wharf is planned. The project will reconstruct the lower timber section of the wharf. And there are other major projects in the works sometime down the road: the $928-million Keenleyside dam ‘generating project; @ the $2.4 million aquatic centre; As well, several malls are planned, including one downtown, one at the eliptical site and a third between Safeway and the Castlegar Savings Credit Union building. ON THE MOVE... Castlegar’s historic CP Rail station was moved to a new location last November and will be preserved as a heritage building. Co-operation the key Last year at this time | commented that successful and eprestive communities are almost always the result of the co-operation and energy of the organizations and the citizens in the community and Castlegar is no exception. This annual Review Edition will highlight some of the major accomp! during the past year mended Castlegar o1 ping its cation and transportation links. “Castlegar's strongest position lies in its development astride the lines of communication and transportation,” says the plan, prepared by Selkirk College's West Kootenay Enterprise Development Centre. Just like in the early days, the study said Castlegar's geographic location in the Kootenays should be stressed. The study will provide a valuable blueprint for the economie development of the city over the next decade. But transportation and heritage were only two of many highlights in 1987. Others include: @ The city was the setting for a major motion picture — Housekeeping. And another major film, this time focusing on the Doukhobors, is planned for 1988 or 1989. e The city's role as a convention centre began to blossom with the West Kootenay Teachers’ zone conference. There were many, and without exception they were the result of the combined efforts of groups and individuals with a common goal and the energy to achieve it. | can't help but think in particular of Rick Hansen's Man in Motion World Tour, our beautiful new library, Municipal Awareness Week, our best- er Sunfest, and moving of the CPR Station building. At a weekend workshop early this year, counci identified several specific is for 1988 and some of the ways those goals may be achieved. Towards et an improved image of the city, council is committed to taking a more active role in ensuring thot such as the Castlegar and District Development Board, the Castlegar Chamber of C . the 8 Association, the Castlegar Festivals Society and others, set common goals and directions, and that the city works closely with these our objectives. Council met with representatives of these groups this month to discuss how we can work together most effectively. We are also interested in input from all of our citizens, and are in the process of formally establishing an Advisory Planning Commission of seven local citizens to advise council on planning and development matters, and a “town hall meeting’ is planned during Municipal Awareness Week in April to give local taxpayers the opportunity to meet with ©” council members and to let them hear your individual concerns and suggestions. Co-operation and communication have been the keys to our success as a community in the past, and will continue to ensure that Castlegar remains the kind of place that we can all be proud to call our * Madcap tone Audrey | Moore Mayor a ee ee
