project recently implemented in

Al a recent meeting arranged
by Castlegar RCMP Staff Sgt
Kerry Solinksy with service
groups and Geoff Koganow,
ICBC's public affairs and road
safety manager, Koganow spoke

about the issue of speed and the
benefits of Speed Watch.
Koganow told the group the

tenays exceeds the provincial
average of speed-related acci-
dents, with 70 per cent of fatal
accidentseand 55 per cent of
injury accidents directly related
to speeding.

However, Speed Watch is mak-
ing a dent in those high numbers.

help reduce those numbers.

they operate a speed reader board
at a location selected by them-
selves and police

The portable unit consists of a
radar unit and a large display
board which displays the speed a
driver is travelling .as he
approaches the unit. The speed is
recorded by RCMP so they can
determine how problematic a spe-
cific location really is.

By the end of the meeting, 14
local groups had committed to
adopting a day. Koganow said the
enthusiasm shown by the groups
sends a clear message.

“When we can get this many
groups interested and as enthusi-
astic as the people at this meeting
are, then I think we're really on

the right track.”

ICBC and Staff Sgt. Solinsky
are hoping other groups come
forward to participate in Speed
Watch

“I hope others like service
clubs, insurance agents and even
some other local business call us
to adopt a day,” said Solinsky.
“The way they reacted at the
meeting, I don’t think the open
days will last long.”

On hand to listen to Koganow
were representatives from parent
advisory councils, fire and ambu-
lance departments, police auxilar-
ies and service clubs.

The RCMP are managing dis-
tribution of the board.

What do Katherine Hepburn,
Marilyn Monroe, The Eagles and
BCTV announcer Barry Houlihan
all have in common?

All of them have personal
items which have been donated
toward the Kootenay Columbia
Child Care Society's Third Annu-
al Celebrity and Art Auction.

Organizer Lynnene Lewis is
especially proud of the fact Barry
Houlihan has committed to host-
ing the event and then sticking
around the area for almost -four
days in order to do television
“spots” about Castlegar and ‘its
events, including the 20th
anniversary of the Rebels.

“I think we've pulled off a
coup. We got stuff we never
dreamed of.”

Last year, $6,500 was raised.
Lewis and other organizers hope
to double that this year,

And it shouldn't be hard to do
considering the items up for
grabs, including:

+ Signed: Alec Baldwin photo,
Eagles tour T-shirt, Kurt Brown-
ing T-shirt, Kevin Costner photo,
career booklet of Katherine Hep-
burn, Doonsbury book by car-
toonist Gary Trudeau, Dan
Ackroyd Ghostbusters photo.

* The last will and testament of
Marilyn Monroe.

+ James Dean's death certificate.

* An autographed Gordie
Howe hockey stick and puck.

But probably the hottest item
is Houlihan’s much-loved

Canucks vest, signed by the
whole team.

There will also be door prizes
such as signed photos of Joan

Rivers, Flip Wilson, Amy Grant,

Prince Rainer and Dudley Moore

But a question still remains
unanswered, How does the
KCCCS get those items?

” said Lewis, who
explained keeping that, secret
means other groups will just have
to find other ways to raise funds.

There will also be a silent auc-
tion and complimentary wine and
cheese, followed by a dance

The KCCCS is an umbrella
agency which assists numerous
child-chare programs in the area.
A large portion of their budget
comes from fundraising efforts.

The event will be held Friday,
Nov. 3 at the Fireside Inn banquet
room. Viewing and happy hour
Start at 5:30 p.m., followed by

the auction at 7:15 p.m.
