It was stated Tuesday night copncil.will' be making a. tice of its’ ‘s request. =r, Landis speculated that Vancouver's decision’ was in- fluenced by that city’s desire to -get the 1980 winter olympics.

Water Violators To be Assessed Special Levy A special levy is to be assessed against several water users in Ootischenia for infrac- tions of the Ootischenia Im- provement District's water restrictions. This was announced this |; week by Bill Stoochnoff, a |, spokesman for the improve- ment district board. Mr. Stoochnoff said a ; warden patrols the area for the < board, and further assessments i will be levied .if infractions continue.

Consumption in June was 24,214,987 gallons (compared with 17,723,500 gallons in June_ 5 1972), ‘Mr. Mosby said the sprink- ling regulations that went into effect. on July 10 were necessary because of the low levels in the water tanks. He ‘said that because the tanks were never able to refill completely, they were drying out at the top and were starting ‘to shrink. “Mayor John Landis said ‘Castlegar residents serve compliments” for obeying the restrictions, He.-also. praised works supervisor Alex Lutz, saying it was through Mr. Lutz's conscientious efforts that the water supply was kept up. ‘to’ the: various ‘groups that | isted and’ to. the. many ividuals who helped in many ways. In his report, Ald. John Pinckney said the local vol- unteer fire department was not up to full staff as the-result of holidays and some help had to be put on a payroll. A bulldozer was also hired to make a fire ass! indi Children were blamed for the incident with Ald. Pinckney extending an invitation to any parent’ who wanted to take their children up to view the area, He remarked the culprit responsible for starting the fire had already had a good tour (age was given as seven) and had offered help at the fire hall. Concern was voiced by Ald. G. S. Rust who said he noticed a number of sprinklers. were on while the bombers were still flying over. A plea has gone out.to the residents asking them __to hiring of a man to police watering and to prosecute violators, Mr. Pinckney said he has not seen just a few sprinklers violating regulation but “very many”. “I am_ personally dis- appointed,” he said.

This was reported to Castlegar council Tuesday night by Ald. Ed Mosby, who said the earlier date of Oct. 16 has been found impractical. forming definite opinions on amalgamation “until all the facts are in.” Ald.’ Andy Shutek re- marked that Mr. loops when amalgamations took place in those centres. He said ; Castlegar fire chief Ed Lewis and Kinnaird fire chief Rene had not believed too much difficulty had been experienced’ with the fire departments’ of Rutland, Kelowna and Kam- It are pi attending a fire chiefs’ conven- tion and have been asked to gather all the information they can. Mr. Mosby, rep gona meeting of the amalgamation committee, said a session was held last week with municipal affairs department representa- tive Chris Woodward. He said the main topic discussed was police costs. The alderman said the costs of welfare were also touched upon and the combined municipal budget drawn up by the clerks of the twin towns was taken back to Victoria by Mr. Woodward for study by the department. Mr. Mosby said police costs, on a per capita basis, “are high enough to be 4 little frightening.” However, they are offset to some extent by industrial taxation. He said it won't be known if the two balance ‘each other out until word is received back from Mr. - Woodward. Mr. Mosby warned against hway; a i ‘ Sra Pee shies .

Only opposing vote was registered by Ald. G.S.

He said he felt the original election bylaw was satisfaclory and could not see this change being made on “the whim of legislation.” Ip The reason: “Private inter- ests in a small Kootenay town had made inquiries” about the statue and it might go to the interior. Well, Vancouver decided to accept the statue—and it _ pow turns out the “small Kootenay town” that might have had it within its bound- aries was Kinnaird, . Joe Vroom of Vroom Flowers in Kinnaird con- firmed this week that he had offered to take the statue from sculptor Gerhard Juchum. Mr. Vroom, who is an art collector, said the statue—titled “The Lovers"—reminds him of the “work of the well-known sculp- tor, Rodin. Mr. Vroom was going to display the statue on his lawn. The following is the story on. the ‘controversy, as it Ald. George stated if a complete change of council came as the result of an election. this would be the peaples’ choice.” “Yes,” said Ald. Rust, “but the people have nota say in this bylaw.” Ald. John Pinckney said town business was becoming more, complex and required more thought which he fell was best dealt:with on a continuous two-year term. : “Since this is a proposed bylaw,” he said, “the actual decision lay with the municipal office”: pp d in Jack W: ‘Ss column in the Vancouver Sun. . * * A few of the city hall chaps were discussing the. park board's persistent refusal to accept a statue’ from sculptor Gerhard Juchum, who recently . deposited his latest work, The Lovers, at Sunset Beach. Park superintendent Stu Lefeaux was quoted as saying, “After all, Juchum isn't any Michaelangelo,” Which prompt- ed social’ planner Jonathon Baker to. observe, “Well, Lefeaux isn't the pope, either.” City. Victorious in THE LOVERS «wooed to Kinnaird Baker and Alderman Geoff Massey, the architect, and Fritz, Bowers piled into a. car and drove down to see the statue. They made an instant judgment — “Not bad!" - While park officials might not want it the civic trio decided it would be just fine on the city hall lawn. A meeting was arranged with Juchum and the city trio went out to his South Van home. They explained their inlerest and he showed them Owner; Kootenay Loser around his garden, which is filled with examples of his work, . Then Juchum poured them some wine and a neighbor came by and ‘offered some wine. Everything was very pleasant and the city fellows felt great, partly because of the wine but largely because they. thought they were doing the right thing by a man whose concern for civic beauty had been unfor- tunately rebuffed for so long. Then Juchum dropped his little bomb. The city might very well too late. Private interests in a small Kootenay town had made inquiries and he'd given them the right of first refusal until next Tuesday. If the sculpture goes, it will be the second time the city missed out. His first experience with park board indifference came after he was repeatedly rebuffed in his efforts to give the board a piece called The Spearfisher. So he delivered it toa focation in Stanley Park by night. When officials ordered it removed the town council of Port. Hardy asked for and received it. “. Juchum is a department of agriculture employee who sculpts in his spare time. He keeps trying to give his works to the park board because he figures the city, and the country as a whole, can stand a filtle culture. feeb Baker and Massey, both of whom have impressive creden- tials in related fields, and Bower seem to agree with him. who is in charge off the arena, remarked that works a will “work out 2 reply” and advise the club of the decisions made. . Lights at Pleza Intersection Are Refused A traffic count. taken. iz May. by the department of highways at the intersection of 2nd Street and 7th Avenue i Kinnaird, has resulted in 2 request for signal lights at this intersection being rejected_ Council was told by letter Tuesday the count showed the warrants only filled 75 per eent and the department already has an accumulation of requests for signals at intersections where the warrants.are fully met. Unsatisfied with the reply, the town clerk was instructed to write Highways Minister Graham Lea requesting a total look. be taken of the inter- change not only for the need of a control light but to study the design of the interchange as a whole in respect to safety. A copy of the letter to the minister is to be sent to ~~ Rossland-Trail MLA Chris D’- Arcy as well as to the Castlegar and District Chamber of Com- merce and the Plaza Merchants’ Association who supported an. earlier petition requesting some safety measure be taken at this intersection.
