He told the Castlegar News his sources say Hydro feasibility studies are looking” at two other elevations — 1,402 feet, from which flooding is expected to affect 118 acres of pinod in Castlegar, and 1,390, 44 acres inthe city—as ¢ 1 of the prop: from project 23 Castlegar on. the Columbia River have told | oaring levels. “It would appear with the work they've. “still electrically,” done so far the 1,402 level would be the most economic in terms of costs and benefits the Rossland-Trail MLA said Costs taken into consideration in the studies would include extra mitigation and property matters as well as the potential loss of storage and generating capacity at both Hydro’s Hugh Keenleyside Dam, up stream - on the Columbia and the West Kootenay Power's Brilliant Dam on the Kootenay River, D'Arcy explained. “That doesn’t mean they're going to decide for 1,402, because clearly there's other considerations than the bottom line,” added. “Their studies are ongoing but the work they've done so far would indicate the 1,402 level would get them the greatest amount of electricity relative to cost.” Commenting today on D'Arcy's state- ment, as B.C.

Late Heghos, City seniors hit RRAP exclusion Efforts to obtain federal home reno- vation funds without which some Castlegor senior citizens “are going to have to con- sider leaving their homes” won city council support Tues- lay. Council endorsed a re- quest by local members of the Senior Citizens’ Associa- tion of B.C.-members that R inatory” ruling senying Motorists, not parking, to blame. for hazards on Columbia — Rust by Roelhilt on Suse bia Avenue are a future discussion topic for city council's works and services committee despite suggestions Tuesday motorists are to blame .for _ traffic hazards. Committee chairman Ald. Gerald Rust agreed to a request from Mayor Audrey Moore, who said a number of residents have told her park- ing is responsible for the potentially dangerous condi- tions on Columbia, that the committee consider means of dealing with the problem. Moore cited as evid drivers’ for safety on the city's main arterial route was probably more responsible. “A great many ‘of the accidents caused in this city are not necessarily by the parking but the inadequacy of the drivers who have no respect for signs, no respect for speed limits,” he said. “And quite frankly, I have no respect for them if they bang their cars up, because they're like a bunch of lunatics.” Rust warned that al- though a number of residents have complained about the hazard on Columbia a rec: ommendation from his com- mittee for restriction of park- ing will meet with objections from and of the hazard on Columbia an accident at the foot of Sher- biko Hill early this week. But Rust pointed out residents living along the treet. Ald. Albert Calderbank, who operates a store at the A bylaw pro- posing the closure of a portion of 27th Street near Fifth Avenue was aban- doned by city coun- cil Tuesday on the recommendation of the works and ser- vices committee. The committee pre- sented the recommenda- tion after studying objec- tions by Castlegar resi- dents to closure of the section in question, which Withdraws proposed road closure bylaw was originally designated as a road. Its closure was pro- posed because “it was thought the land could be better used for a building lot” committee chairman Ald. Gerald Rust said. The bylaw was sent to committee before third reading in May because of objections raised by the public. One of the major com- plaints about the closure was that access to some properties would be elimin- ated. Among other argu- ments against the closure was that properties, built with access from the road in mind, would lose that approach. Another argument was that is-is safer for children to use the section of road which leads to the CP Rail tracks and cross: there than to use Fifth: Avenue. ¢ Rust noted that it is illegal to cross the tracks at that point and that persons must do so at their own risk. foot of Sherbiko Hill, said he found it “amazing there aren't more accidents” on that section of Columbia. “Listening to the speed- up that takes place to climb that hill one imagines they were going up Everest,” Calderbank said of vehicles on the hill. “I don't know why we don't do something with regard to the police to sit at the bottom of that hill and chase after them, because 70, 80 or 90 kilometres per hour is nothing to that lot.” Urges good showing Thursday meeting City members were urged this week to provide “an excellent turn- council out” at Thursday's public meeting on: Central Kootenay di-" rectors’ concerns about the proposed Lower Arrow Lake re- settlement program. Planning committee chairman Ald. Albert Cald- erbank said council represen- tation at the meeting, set up to invite public discussion of the provincial cabinet envir- onment and land use com- mittee’s plan for subdivision of B.C. Hydro and Crown land for sale to former Lower Arrow residents displaced from their waterfront pro- perties when the Hugh Keen- leyside Dam was built in the 1960's, would be “most important.” Interviewed later, Cald- erbank stressed the import- ance of public scrutiny of the regional district's proposed position on the plan before the RDCK board adopts it icy. a vas whether the city planned to make a presenta- tion at the meeting, he said city council and staff mem- bers will attend ‘the discus- sion but council will wait to hear residents’ views on the subject before deciding on its own position. Copies of the ELUC proposal and the RDCK points to be discussed at the meeting — scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at the Regional Recrea- tion Complex — are available at city hall. Reh: Cosgrove residents aceess to aid. under .the Residential A. ‘June 19 letter to : from association president Jessie Donnan noted Castlegar, because of “complications of amalgama- tion”, was not on the RRAP allocations list when funding was stopped in 1976, Donnan noted cities, towns, villages and rural areas surrounding Castlegar are receiving RRAP funds on a continuing basis. “In some cases, the recipient municipality is hard put to find ways to spend this money,” the letter said. “Even to the extent that advertisements have been placed in local newspapers asking for citizens to come forward with some claim.” “Under these circum- stances it seems to us it would be most appropriate to have some of these funds turned over to the City of Castlegar, which has many senior citizens in need of assistance,” it continued. “To continue to discrim- inate against Castlegar on no unreasonable basis is mani- festly unfair to our people.” A June 12 letter to the federal public works minister from Kootenay West MP Lyle Kristiansen voiced simi- lar concerns and pointed out the city’s participation in the rehabilitation scheme was still possible. Kristiansen said he had learned that although there is no federal legislation allow- ing new municipalities to become involved, “there is no longer any impediment with respect to the involvement of yh a, Three players nod.

The planning committee More on page Use common sense, sprinklers plea for sen- sible A eiehling prac- tices accompanied a warning* council's works and services committee chairman Tuesday that summer watering regulations may once more be necessary in Castle- gar. Atacity council meeting Ald. Gerald Rust — who has indicated previously regula- tions may be required in South Castlegar but not in North Castlegar, with its new. Arrow Lakes supply — urged responsible use of water in order to avoid them completely. “While sprinkling reg- ulations are not at the moment invoked within the city — and hopefully they from~ city are urged won't be — I would sincerely request all residents to use common sense between the hours’of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m\on. hot days,” the works and services chairman said. “It’s doing their grounds absolutely no good to he sprinkling in the heat of the day.” Although most residents have followed the yet-unenforced guidelines “but there are a few who seem to feel there is ample water,” and the city exper- ienced an incident last week in which the tanks’ levels were “extremely low.” “We didn’t impose reg- ulations, we got them back up again, we got every well working as well as the overdraw we can take from the north end to the south,” Rust reported. Traffic lights soon to be in operation Recently _ in- stalled traffic lights at the intersection of Sixth Street and Columbia Avenue will be in operation within a few weeks, Ald. Gerald Rust, works and services com- mittee chairman, said Tuesday. The lights were installed in early June and have been flashing red and amber since that time. They will continue to do so until they are in working condition. Until then traffic flow at the intersection will be mon- itored carefully, Rust said. Monitoring will determine the exact timing needed so that traffic will not back up between that light and the one on Columbia and Third Street. Other intersections in the city will soon take on a slightly different appearance as the new street signs have finally arrived. Installation of those is scheduled to begin in the near future. given the Page B3 WEEKEND WEATHERCAST of clouds and sunshine RE hursday with widel _seottared showers in the aft if evening. ‘The weekend. will remain highs in “ihe mid-20's and over: night lows between 10° and 12°. oon ant unsettied with daytime Job File ..... .
