Perra said this would help eliminate some of the high costs to the college and the students. He said the aviation pro- gram has become very costly to students, who now pay about $16,000 per year to enrol .in the only aviation program in the province. Perra said the, decision came as a result of recom- mendations from a number of studies performed ‘on «the program. But because. of budget re- straints, no. additional staff can ‘be hired to reorganize en.eethe, PROgram, 0, instead fac: .] ulty will perform the work. Perra did say second year “students will still be able to complete their second year. The college is also asking the Ministry of Education for a commitment on. funds. for additional facilities and staff. Perra said the college is in need of certain facilities, such .° asa maintenance hangar and office space at the airport, as well as additional staff. He said funds for these were not in the 1982-83 bud- get allocation. The cost of these is about $2 million over a 10-year period, he said. The current need is about 000. “We met with the ministry and Academic Council to see if they could respond to the needs of the college and to also indicate to the college whether or not they believe an aviation program should be maintained in the province of British Columbia,” Perra said. : ajo Chernoff celébrat he ni sflagar and: Bina Veapta hat uh ' who also celebrated Tuesday. the world’s oldest person by just 12 yea 05th bis tha gm bi orice ry oti en PROPERTY TAXES. : Chamber wants Kaligt By DIANE STRANDBERG Staff Writer Castlegar Chamber of Commerce representatives have sent a letter to pro- vincial Finance Minister Hugh Curtis and Premier Bill Bennett outlining their con- cerns about the 20 per cent: increase in taxes local busi- nessmen are facing this yar. Chamber of Commerce dir- ector Murray Young said in an interview Tuesday that he hopes the government will come up with a program to give small businessmen relief from heavy tax burdens. Young, who helped draft the letter, said, “These times it’s difficult enough for busi- nessmen to make ends meet. But here they are slapping increases in taxes on them. That's the straw that broke the camel's back.” With Friday's tax deadline looming, Castlegar city ad- ministrator Larry. Cruik- shank says people are paying their taxes with little or no complaint. And he’ says he expects few people to hold ‘off paying their taxes. But Thrums businessman Ken Moore says he wants an explanation as to why he had to pay almost $2,000 in busi- ness taxes this year — a $200 increase over last year. Moore paid his taxes Tues- day on an automotive busi- ness he was forced to close down four months ago. “Well I can't do much this year, and I still don’t know if it will do any good, but I'm going to try and find out why they want me to pay so much,” he said.

Local residents Frank Webber and Ken Leitner of Frankenfine Foods, a turkey gizzard pickling company, elaim they’ ‘re the largest suppliers in B.C. — and probably in Canada. The business, which began about:two months ago, supplies, bars all throughout the province with the European “delicacy.” It all began when Leitner and Webber, both 43, began talking about their love for the gizzards —the bird's second stomach. Webber is Italian (now a landed Canadian) who lived in Austria and Leitner's father was Austrian. The two approached Tony Geronazzo, who does a ‘hot of pickling, and got him.to pickle some gizzards in a few different recipes, After sampling the gizzards and choosing the one they liked, Webber and Leitner were on their way toa unique operation. - The business operates out of “the kitchen of the Castlegar Hotel, which is owned by Webber. SuperValu,” Webber points oyt. He says there are so many ways to eat the gizzards. They can be eaten by themselves or even used in salads along with oil, vinegar and onions. The pickling process is a lengthy one, One day is spent boiling the gizzards (usually 500 pounds at a time). _ Then for two weeks they are placed in pickling vats. After this the gizzards are jarred in a different pickling solution, labelled and ready to be sold commer- cially. Last month Leitner and Webber processed 19,240 gizzards. And. after. processing that many gizzards, Leitner says he really doesn't feel like eating them, Webber and Leitner admit there is not much profit in the gizzards, but they do it “because no one else is doing it.” : The gizzards aro sold in gallon jars and contain about nine pounds of meat. They sell for about $16. By being in the pickling business, Webber and Leitner say they're also doing a service for senior citizens. At the end of the day after the gizzards are boiled, the broth is put into jars and given to seniors to use in gizzards are selling well, sa: soon. In spite of the current economic downturn, the says Webber. Their main buyers are hotel bars, but Frankenfine foods may be supplying grocery stores with the deljcacy making soup. “They are happy,” says Webber. “They keep begging us for the broth.” The company obtains its gizzards from a poultry continued on page A2 TURKEY GiZZARD KINGS . . .
