People in Russia are waiting for these supplies. They know they’re coming. And these le will remember that these lifesaving sup- plies were given to them from people who live in the West Kootenay in British Columbia. That will mean something Verigin cited one iple involving the Russian national airline Aeroflot, which carries into the Unit- ed States. Officials from the airline have agreed to charge only $1 per kilogram to carry the supplies back to its country. The cost would be $10,000. “That's a good rate but not as good as free and $10,000 could buy a lot of medicine” Verigin said.

Now, the new government is attempting to rebuild, though very slowly. “I've heard of stories of doctors doing surgery with Straight razor blades. That’s how bad their medical sup- plies are,” Verigin said, thankful that local hospitals and pharmacies have been very generous in providing supplies. Verigin said he will con- tinue his search for an inex- pensive, if not free, source for which the supplies can be shipped.

Up to 3,000,000 gallons of Nelson's raw sewage have gone down the river during this emergency “We found the leak about 5:30 p.m. Friday,” said director of pobfic works Bob Adams “It’s underwater, between about a third or half way from the end of the airport runway and the Sewage treatment plant. “We're now waiting on underwater pictures to deter- mine what will be needed to repair the leak,” added Adams. Bulk oil d eliminate NELSON DAILY NEWS At the other end of used oil disposal is fresh oil distribu- tion. Over at Nelson Chrysler, co- owner Archie McKen is more than pleased with his new bulk oil dispensers. “There's no waste at all,” he Says, with emphasis. “There’s no plastic container to get rid of and there’s no leftover oil in a container if a vehicle takes half-a-liter. And everytime an empty litre container goes to the dump, I’m sure a table- spoon of oil in it goes to the dump along with the plastic.” Nelson Chrysler's two bulk dispensers hold 250 gallons of oil each. The company has one for each of the two grades of oil used most often — 5w30 and 10w30. They're computer operated and regulated. The amount of oil needed can be dialed in and the dispenser will measure out exactly that amount As well, the total amount of oil pumped from the tank is recorded electronically. And not only that, the bulk tank itself is a workbench! “We go through 45 gallons of oil a week in oil changes,” said McKen. “We've had them (the bulk dispensers) now for a month-and-a-half. The garbage problem is much better and the recognised a 600,000 gallon- per-day loss in sewage output on Aug. 14. Efforts to locate the source of the leak have been centred around a 16-inch diame- ter pipe that runs 10,000 feet underwater between the city’s Sewage pumping station and the Sewage treatment plant on Kootenay River. The city has been primarily using a dive team to look for Sewage mixed with colored dye in the water around sections of the submerged pipe. Other efforts to find the leak over the last week and a half have includ- ed a helicopter and boat spot- ters. ispensers waste storage problem is much bet- ter.” Nelson Chrysler also offers bulk oil sales to anyone who brings in their own containers. “In time,” said McKen, “there will be laws that every- body will have to do what we've already done.” see The Regional District of Cen- tral Kootenay, in co-operation with the Central Kootenay Health Unit, posted a sign downstream at Taghum beach warning bathers of health haz- ards on the date the leak was gallons dumped announced. Subsequent tests confirmed there is sewage. in the water The Central Kootenay Health Unjit advises the public health warning will remain in effect until the leak is repaired. NELSON DAILY NEWS Bacteria levels at Taghum beach are reported to be much higher than normal. The lab analysis from last Monday and Tuesday's river water tests shows fecal bacteriological counts much higher than normal. The tests were performed down- stream from the city’s sewage treatment plant. “There is obviously a Sewage influence over previous analysis we have done in the area,” said chief environmental health offi- cer Mike Harnadek. “We tested three different parts of the beach water — the mid part, the west side and the deeper water off the rocks. The Central Kootenay Health Non-bathing advisory will remain in place Unit test results were reported as a fecat bacteriological number Per 100 ml of bathing water. The results from the first test Tuesday were 43, 61 and 69 The second test that day yielded numbers of 7, 8 and 6 for the respective water areas. Mon- day’s results were 8, 10 and 32. “The same day (Tuesday) bounce back to what we consid- er normal figures shows that monitoring these levels is simply a tool and pant of why and how we make decisions,” added Har- nadek. “Regardless of the results, the non-bathing advisory will remain in place until such time as the city repairs a broken System and repairs the leak. We have to rule on the side of pro- tecting public health and will continue testing.” BIC continues link to network NELSON DAILY NEWS Local links to a powerful net- work of business information and expertise will be maintained as the result of partnership agree- ments announced between the Ministry of Economic Develop- ment, Small Business and Trade and the Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce The agreements provide up to $8,500 in support to each charn- ber through the Ministry's Busi- ness Info Centre (BIC) program to ensure local access to informa- {ion on starting a business and marketing goods and services. Information is also Provided on government programs and regula- tions, and expansion strategies for existing local businesses. The announcement was made by Nelson-Creston MLA Corky Evans on behalf of Economic Development Minister David Zimhelt. “The BIC partnership with these chambers provides local access up-to-date business infor- mation services that will enhance economic growth and diversifica- tion in our area of British Columbia,” said Evans. “This program is part of our government's commitment to ensuring that growth and prosper- ity are shared by British Columbians in every region of our province,” said Zimheht. “I am pleased that the chambers and the ministry are working together to provide important business information services to the local community.” The 85 BICs throughout British Columbia are electronical- ly linked by a province-wide computerised communication system — Chamberlink. This system allows for the immediate sharing of the knowledge and expertise of all the province's chamber managers.” Chamberlink provides on-line communication assistance and will shortly provide access to a variety of useful databases. Data includes announcements of federal and provincial govern- ment tenders, international mar- keting and investment Opportunities and small business financial profiles. In addition, publications are available at the local BIC on a wide variety of business topics. The ministry also provides training assistance for chamber staff and chamber boards. Work- ing with the British Columbia Chamber of Commerce, the min- istry funds a development officer to provide orientation to incom- ing chamber boards throughout the province “The BIC program is one of the many ways our government is working in partnership with B.C communities to strengthen local economies and diversify our tra- ditional resource base,” said Zimn- helt. Conservation concerns Prompt crackdown on illegal trafficking of bear parts A conservation operation aimed at protecting B.C. grizzly and black bear populations has resulted in charges against five people for the illegal trafficking of bear parts, B.C. Environment Officials announced today. The operation — initiated by the Conservation Officer Service in April 1991 — has uncovered extensive illegal trading in bear galls and has led to the charges Volunteer firefighter Andy Roberts takes a break during the Castlegar firefighters car wash for Muscualr Dys- trophy, held last Saturday at the Safeway Parking lot. under the B.C. Wildlife Act. Charged are Sang Ho Kim of Surrey, Jung Kug Seo of North Vancouver, David Bilan of Sardis, Bo Sik Se of Yarrow, and Bung Ok Jo of Yarrow. B.C. Environment's Lower Mainland Regional Director, Jim McCracken, said the operation was launched to help preserve B.C. unique bear populations and habitats. He said that in addition to the crackdown, B.C.

In the case of bear parts, the ministry wants to make sure that an apparent increase in demand for gall bladders, paws and other Parts, some of which are used in certain traditional medicines — does not have an adverse impact on BC’s bear populations. The first court appearances for Bilan, Se and Jo are scheduled for Si 18, 1992 at Chill k Provincial Court, while first appearances for Kim and Seo will be September 25, 1992 at the Provincial Coun in Surrey.
