College expands system The Castlegar campus of Selkirk College has invited bids for expanding its wastewater treatment plant. The college estimates the project will cost between $175,000 and $200,000 and is needed to bring the facility in line with demand on campus. “The current one is below capacity for the size of the institution now,"* said Dale Schatz, vice-president of administration. The number of part-time students has decreased while the number of full-time students has increased, placing more students on the campus for longer periods of time, he said. “I’sa ination of that and our as well."* He said the number of students won't necessarily increase once student housing is completed, but again, those students in residence will be spending more time on the campus.

Committee eyes impact Mayor Audrey Moore will be Castlegar council’s representative on the city’s Celgar project local impact monitoring committee.

City appoints director Castlegar city council has appointed Kenn Hample, the city’s director of engineering and public works, to the Regional District of Central Kootenay’s technical solid waste management committee.

Stanley Associates Engineering Ltd.-of Kelowna, the consultant the regional district hired to devise a plan, is currently working on the first phase of a three-phase plan which the firm estimates will take about 18 months to complete. of new residents Massive avalanche kills nine heli-skiers GOLDEN (CP) — A _ massive avalanche Tuesday killed nine heli- skiers in what is believed to be the worst accident in the Canadian history of the daredevil sport. The snow slide thundered down a slope in the Purcell Mountains of southeastern British Columbia about 4 p.m. PST. None of the skiers were Canadian, and their nationalities had not been released this morning. RCMP in Golden said the dead were from four countries, but wouldn't identify the countries. They were skiing a run called Bay Street near the Bugaboo Lodge, a remote heli-skiing centre operated by Canadian Mountain Holidays of Banff, Alta. Martin von Neudegg, lawyer for the company, said officials at the site told him today all bodies had been recovered. A hospital official in Cranbrook, 270 kilometres south of Golden near the Canada-U.S. bor- der, said the bodies were expected to be taken there later today. “Recovery is completed,’’ von Neudegg said today. ‘‘That means there’s not any search left to be done today."” The namies of the dead were being withheld until relatives could be notified. Company owner Hans Gmoser flew Tuesday to the accident site southwest of Golden, said von Neudegg. “They had lots of search-and- rescue type people there,’’ said Pauline Hall, a spokesman in the RCMP’s Golden detachment. “Being a heli-skiing operation they would have had a rescue plan ready to go.”” At least two Canadian Parks Ser- vice dogmasters with specially trained rescue dogs helped search for the victims. The coroner from Golden was also flown to the scene, Hall said RCMP had confirmed there were four survivors of the avalanche, but she did not know any details about them. -But.vqn Neudegg said. neither ,the group’s pilot nor its guide was killed. “Every group skiing has guides with them, so in this case the guides with this group escaped, but I have no details,"” he said. There are usually a total of 44 People staying at the Bugaboo Lodge. Terry Willis, a public safety war- den in Yoho National Park, said the use of search dogs could indicate the slide was exceptionally large. It's mandatory for all heli-skiers and guides to wear avalanche tran- sceivers, which are radio devices that pinpoint the location of a buried skier. © Shop ‘n Save Not all flyers receive tull distribution.

ED CONROY of Pass Creek and partner Murray Gore of Princeton-scooped the highest price paid for their bull in the polled hereford class at the B.C. provincial bull sale held earlier this week in Kamloops. The actual sale day is just one day of a five-day event bringing people ‘‘from literally all over the province,"’ Conroy said, “For an area like Castlegar, where we're not really known for producing livestock . . . when we can go compete with people, with the rest of the Province, (obviously) we were well represented,”’ he said. “*We can get a little local pride in some things that go on. Most people don’t know that we can hold our heads up high in some really strange ways.’” The bull, born and raised in Conroy’s back yard, was one of 25 that the partners, under the name Kootenay Polled Herefords, areé raising. Conroy attributes their success in raising bulls to the partnership. “*Put it this way, my partner’s 29, I’m 44. 1 supply the wisdom and patience and he supplies the youth and enthusiasm. When youenix that up, we come up with pretty good stuff.”” ‘WEST KOOTENAY FIREFIGHTERS will hold an auction Thursday in Rossland to raise money for renovations to the B.C.
