CASTLEGAR NEWS, May 15, 1983 Expo Nelson even bigger By CasNews Staff The overwhelming success of last year’ ‘s Expo Nelson has organizers making. plans to expand the area for booths to 30 dtoattend the trade fair. , The trade fair is set for Sept. 9, 10 and 11 this year and according to organizer Bruce Meldrum, more than 100 exhi- bitors from across Canada and as far away as Britain are expected to participate. Last year, 71 engineering, transportation, computer technology, educa- tion, forestry, mining and the construction trades set up [- colorful exhibits and booths to display their wages. Already 30 firms have indicated they plan to join in the city’s trade and commerce showcase. Said Meldrum, “That's pretty good considering at this time last year, we had absolutely zero.” This “second of many” trade fairs will once again be held at Nelson’s Rosemont Vocational Campus of Selkirk College, said Meldrum, who is campus director. Meldrum is also responsible for organizing the facilities for the three-day event. He is so optimistic about the turn out, he has added 20,000 square feet of covered display area to last year's 30,000 square feet — nearly doubling the amount of indoor space. As well, another 20,000 square feet of open area will be available. Meldrum says his optimism is based on the resp he received from visitors who attended the fair last year. And he hopes that as many as 8,000 people will tour the exhibits — up from 3,000 last year. “The response we got was that anybody who didn't get through it were wishing they had made it,” Meldrum said. He said for example, that one local Rotarian explained how he had merely planned to show up to do his “civic duty” and then ended up staying the entire day and part of the next, “For the general public, or anybody with any i interest i in the they will get ing out of it,’ promised. Some of the companies who have confirmed that they. will attend include ELE International, a British firm that” ] and ic training and Electrolab from Belleville, Ont., which has promised to return with displays of robotics equipment and industrial training equipment. Electrolab has sold robot arms to two Major arm manufacturing companies. Most of the firms that participated last year say they will return, Meldrum said, because they were pleased with the exposure they received through the event. In fact, some exhibitors told him that a number of sales were made during Expo Nelson 82. This year's trade fair should be easier to organize, Meldrum commented, “because we know what to deal with.” And he said that plans are afoot to expand television advertising coverage to Okanagan in addition to local areas. “We could have done a little better coverage locally and in other areas. For example, we didn’t realize that we weren't getting coverage in Kaslo or Nakusp,” Meldrum explained. The trade fair is being sponsored by the Nelson - Chamber of Commerce as well as Rosemont campus. And Meldrum hopes the event will improve the campus’s profile in the community. “People would ask me where I worked and I'd say the © Vocational Institute of Selkirk College and they would say ‘is. that in Castlegar?’ Expo should let people know, hey, you've got a division here and show them the things we offer,” he added. Meldrum noted that the Nelson Rotarians will again be holding an in conjunc- tion with.the trade ate N Bridge results EXPO 86...

Toronto manager Bobby Cox chose to send Jackson to the mound when play resumed in the bottom of the sixth. Jackson kept :the no-hitter going through: the sixth and seventh’ innings; then Chris Bando ended it with a clean single to left field with one out in the eighth, ‘The Blue Jays scored their first six runs with two cut in the fourth inning, two: on Willie’ Upshaw's triple that caused Bert Blyleven.

Canada rowers second ANHEIM, WEST GER- MANY (CP) + Peter Mac- Gowan of Toronte and Tim Storn of St. Catharines, Ont., rowed to ‘a second-place finish and the best Canadian result at the first day of a international rowing regatta Saturday. MacGowan and Storm had been optimistic about their chances of winning the 2,000- metre long double sculls race. But ‘they fell behind at the start and despite a late surge, finished three-quar- ters of a boat length behind a Yugoslav crew that won ina time of five minutes 45.83 seconds. The Canadians were clocked in 5:47.19 while a French boat was well back in third with a time of 5:52.87. “We got in troublle right at the start and had to play catch-up all the way," said MacGowan, 24. “We play catch-up normally, but Iguess we. just didn't do it ef- fectively today.” In the women's 1,000- metre double sculls, Lisa Roy and Janice Mason, rowing for the City Rowing Club of Vic- toria, also got off to a slow start and placed third. The race was won by the Soviet Union’s Olympic and world championship pair, Larissa Popova and Elena Chlopzeva, in a time of 3:28.87. Another Russian crew was second in 3:28.96 and the Canadians clocked 3:32.22. “We still don’t have enough power,” said Roy. “The women’s races are so short that the Soviets have the srength to jump out at the start and hold it. “That is what we'll have to * do.” In the women's sculls, An- drea Schreiner of Victoria was fourth. “A DAILY INTEREST ACCOUNT THAT HAS IT ALL” Kootenay Savings Credit Union 1016 - 4th Street, across from the Post Office.
