SUN STAFF PHOTO / John Van Putten Fish and Wildlife enhancement fund a sign of good faith SHARLENE IMHOFF Sun Editor The Columbia River Down- stream Benefits Symposium, held in Castlegar last weekend, started with the announcement that a pe petual fund of $3.2 million will set up to sustain and enhanc« and wildlife populations aff by previous hydroelectric opment on the Columbia Riv The announcement was made by Provincial Cabinet Ministers Anne Edwards and Moe Sihota at Hugh Keenleyside Park, nexfto the dam. The perpétual fund is being set up by B.C. Hydro and the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks, and will allow an annual spending of $3.2 million in the Columbia basin. “We are increasing spending by almost $1 million per-year in addi tion to setting this up as a consoli- dated, perpetual fund,” said Sihota, who is also the Minister Responsible for B.C. Hydro. Both ministers noted that Fri day's announcement 1s part of the government's plan to “right past wrongs” that have been made to the Columbia River Basin in the process of extracting water, power and taxes. It is speculated that the additional funding will result in long-term and a more comprehen sive approach to planning. “We are very encouraged-by the oppor tunities for expanded fish and wildlife enhancement and the potential this gives for enhanced recreational use of the reservoirs,” Sihota said. Also present for the announce- ment were MLAs Corky Evans and Ed Conroy as well as other municipal and B.C. Hydro offi- cials. Members from various fish and wildlife organizations were also invited to hear the announce- ment first hand. One particular long-time resident and former West Kootenay Power employee, Jesse Ridge, said the announce- ment was one he had been fight- ing to get for this area for more than a decade. Part of his efforts included sending letters to Corky Evans, telling him how much money in water taxes was paid by Cominco, BC Hydro, West Koote- nay Power and others, to make the point that the money which runs the province comes from the Kootenays. “I'm hoping to goodness that this is the forerunner of things to happen for the Columbia System and its tributaries,” said Ridge, who claims to be an adamant lover and promoter of the Koote nay's resources. Ridge said the Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Compensation Fund is a. good way to start ensunng that money from water taxes starts coming back to the area. “We've got to leam to See ENHANCEMENT FUND 2A th facing charge of sexual ult misses court appearance Canada-wide warrant issued for Selkirk College. student SHARLENE IM Sun Editor A Selkirk Colleg: student currently on trial for seven serious charges, including sexual assault with a weapon, failed to appear for his last court date, which was set for June. 18 Castlegar RCMP estimate the youth has been out of the Castlegar-area since June 9, when he failed to check in with police or his probation officer—both of which were daily requirements of the youth in order for him to remain out-of-custody, and living in his own residence.

But because the restriction is a voluntary one, some won- der if it will hold any water at all During last weeks council meeting. coun cillors decided that residents should be restncted to watering between the hours of 6 p.m. nd 8 am..
