A the economy and its role as a catalyst for redevelopment of the city's False Creek. But the immediate benefit is clear. Tourism is surging in the Expo wake, spurred by aggressive, throw-dollars-at-it marketing learned during the world’s fair. “We're making lots of noise,” says David Kyle, general manager of Vancouver's Harbor Ferries, whose company is spending as much advertising money in joint ventures with others as it did on its entire ad budget five years ago. “It’s funny,” he observes. “At some recent trade shows on the Prairies, other (exhibitors) see us coming and they go ‘Oh, oh, here comes Vancouver again.’ They just finished getting beaten up by Expo and now we're there selling the city again.” In the first quarter of this year, key tourism indicators were all up. The flow of visitors through U.S. border points was up 14.5 per cent over 1986; overseas entries went up 10.6 per cent. Suggestions that the 1986 figures are suspect in that visitors might have been waiting for Expo to start in May are unfounded, says Tourism Ministry spokesman Lynda Cronin. UP OVER ‘85 “Those 1986 figures actually show healthy growth over 1985 .. . so this year's numbers are stronger than anybody expected,” said Cronin, whose ministry will spend $17 million in 1987-88, up more than $17 million over the previous year. Kyle, whose boat tours of Vancouver's inner harbor are more closely tied to in-town visitors, said comparisons with 1986 are “no contest . . . but we're up 25 per cent over 1985.” Kyle said a tour operator from Texas who brought several groups to Vancouver for Expo, indicated late last year he didn’t think he'd be back. “He said he'd be going to other destinations. Now, he’s booked 200 to 300 seats with us, the response has been that strong.” Dennis Forrestal, president of the 26-member Vancouver Hotels Association, said that while this summer “is not like 1986, it is better than we had projected for the year following Expo.” More than 2,000 new rooms came on stream for Expo, nearly 1,500 of them in the deluxe category with the opening of hotels like the Meridien and the Pan Pacific. That's created an oversupply that will mean lean years for some, said Forrestal, but with the new waterfront convention centre opening up this summer “we're seeing more and more inquiries for 1987 and beyond.” Much was made of the morale-boosting effect of at more than 22 million, exceeded expectations, and the worldwide acclaim for both the fair and the city had most Vancouverites puffing their chests with pride. GLOW FADES But that boosterism appears to have faded as quickly as the fair site has been demolished. “There's very little to remind us of Expo,” says Demetrios Papageorgis, a psychology professor at the University of B.C. “With these types of things, they get big hype for a while, but when it's over it's over. “It's almost like it never happened and everybody's just waiting around for the next big piece of news,” he said. “Maybe if something had happend (to the B.C. economy) in the last year that could be attributed to Expo, it might be different.” Economist Richard Allen of the B.C. Central Credit Union says that while the $1.5 billion spent by government and fair participants benefitted the economy from 1984 to 1986, Expo did nothing to boost foreign i — one of the province's justificati for the fair. “Investment will not grow this year in B.C., which would tend to negate the argument Expo would have an impact,” he said. On the former fair site — the idyllic 70-hectare tract of land along the north shore of False Creek — only a few buildings, the soon-to-be-moved giant hockey stick and the as-yet-unsold rides remain behind the barbed wire fencing. The open-air Expo Theatre is still being used for concerts and two science groups are vying for the Expo Centre, the often-photographed geodesic dome. The former Plaza of Nations, with its surrounding restaurants, is also being used for entertainment. In the adjacent B.C. Pavilion, the provincial Economic Develop- ment Ministry has established the B.C. Enterprise Centre as a showcase for business and investment opportunities. But the colorful modular pavilions have been levelled. Unlike Montreal's Expo 67 where there was considerable agonizing over what should remain, Expo 86 was dismantled with little fuss. “Here, there was good public recognition that the fair had run its course,” said Rod Cameron, vice-president of the B.C. Enterprise Corp., the Crown-owned, debt-free body set up through the merger of B.C. Place and the B.C. Development Corp. to handle development of the site. “It was a great success but people weren't concerned about clinging to bits and pieces of the buildings, as a way of reminding themselves.” CARAS CHARITY SPONSORED CASINO CHARITY HOST: CASTLEGAR WILDLIFE Lic.

A monthly statement of weather statistics shows the new record high of 35.7 set on June 30 just managed to squeak past the old record high of 35.6 set June 3, 1970. Despite a sharp trough of low pressure in mid-June that brought some 35.6 mm of rain, the total was only 56 per cent of Castlegar's usual total rainfall for the month. Of last month's total rainfall, almost half fell on a single day, June 15. The mean temperature for last month of 18.8 was well above the norm of 16.7 while the total of eight days of measurable precipitation was just two days away from a record low of six days set in 1974. Also, last month's total of 309.8 hours of sunshine broke the old record of 299.3 hours set in 1967. Finally, the average wind speed for June was 6.2 kph, just 75 per cent of the monthly average. Some records that still stand for the month of June are a record low of 2.2 set in June 4, 1976; a record low precipitation of 12.7 mm set in 1976.

Mrs. Mattson’s age can't be revealed, but she won't be a centenarian for at least another 10 years. She was honored at a lawn dinner party, held at the home of good friends, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Spain. Mrs. Mattson thought she was having dinner alone with the Spains but was pleasantly surprised and happy that they had invited a number of her friends to share in the celebration. After singing Happy English, the Norwegian birthday song, which had been sung to Mrs. Mattson in absentia at a Nor- dic Lodge social on June 6, was played for her from a tape made at that time. In addition to a birthday card signed by all those present, she was presented with a framed greeting from Gov. Gen. Jean Sauve.

Hire a student By DENISE WEST Student Placement Officer ‘The last two weeks have been one of the busiest periods. of the summer. Despite the current situation in Trail, jobs for students still are available in Trail and Castlegar. At the beginning of June, things started to look like it might be a tough summer for students, but during the second half of the month there was a good increase in job orders. In June, more than 100 students were placed in jobs, 70 of which were in the last two weeks. That brings the total to over 250 regular and casual job placements since the office opened in May. Our goal for the summer is 633. Our total student registration is 506 with 74 in the month of June. It seems that regardless of the slower economy people make jobs available for students each summer. The community must be aware of the necessity of summer jobs for students in order to allow them to return to school. A community that is aware of this is helping itself and its students. Through hiring students, the community makes it possible for them to pursue their career goals and someday maybe they will return to the area with their skills and experience. The employer benefits directly because by hiring a student they gain an employee who is talented, energetic, capable and enthusiastic about their new short-term employment. It is very positive and reassuring to know that employers are hiring students this summer. Become one of these employers! Phone 368-9126 collect. The office is located above the post office in Trail.

NOTICE: City of Castlegar Residents Only The Central Kootenay Health Unit (with funding from the Union Board of Health) is conducting a radon gas survey in the Castlegar area. Radon is a natural odorless, colorless radioactive gas. It is generated in the soil and may seep into houses. Radon gas may be responsible for a large por- tion of the radiation all individuals are exposed to during their lifetime: This survey will assess the potential ex- posure to radon in the Castlegar area. The survey involves: 1. placing a small detector badge in the home for 6 months 2. filling out a simple questionnaire regarding house construction, method of heating, occupancy, etc. If you are interested in participating in this survey, please fill out the coupon below and either post it or drop it off at the Central Kootenay Health Unit (located just below the Castlegar Hos- pital) — 813-10th Street, Castlegar, B.C.
