ROTO VILLA CELEBRATES - 18 YEARS ‘It wrinkles be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. This spirit should not grow old.’ — James A. Garfield, 20th President of the U.S. When I came to Castlegar 40 years ago, our longest roadway was little more than a cow track or at best a wagon road which narrowed into a cow track once it had passed the site of the present high school. It wavered past small farm holdings, dipped through several canyon-like gulleys and wavered uncertainly up the hospital to discover the north fence of the Lightle farm and the southern boundary of Castlegar. The Lightles occupied 4 peace of thin unincorporated municipal land. Beyond the CPR tracks lay Kinnaird, of which Omar Lightle was one of the founding fathers. Within the next 20 years the road and its environs had changed radically. It could then boast a blacktop surface bisected by the new gas pipeline. The deep gulleys were filled in and a number of houses, several churches and schools, the new hospital, and the central item in this column — the first phase of the new senior citizens complex, the Roto Villa — had sprung up along its flanks. The following is taken from an early Rotary historical account of the birth of this very successful senior citizens home in part from Castlegar News accounts of the time. It is a remarkable story of human determination and endeavor, of cooperation at its“best between diverse groups, the community service clubs and dedicated citizens. It can stand as its own monument to the spirit of Community citizenship. The concept of a Castlegar senior citizens horhe (Roto Villa) was first proposed by Jim Lambeth, president of the Castlegar Rotary Club for 1963-64, and the manager at the time of the Castlegar Bank of Montreal. Shortly after this, however, Lambeth was transferred. But the Rotary Club carried on with the project and for the next two years it scouted the area for a suitable site for a villa and studied similar housing projects in a number of other communities. Meanwhile, in 1966 the Oglow Brothers construction firm was working on a contract hoping to build the Hugh Keenleyside Dam and Paul Oglow was one of the supervisors. Working on the same project was Lorne McClure, project manager for CBA Engineering and a Rotary club member who had become totally committed to the idea of a senior citizens home. It was almost inevitable, therefore, that he should meet Paul, convince him of the desireability of the project, and with the assistance of Gerry Archibald, have him inducted into the club. Paul was promptly assigned to head the senior citizen housing project. An offer of four vacant lots by the city to the Rotary club for the exclusive use for the project gave it a considerable’ push forward, and plans were accelerated and discussions on the type of construction to be used intensified. Since there was a great deal of building activity going on in the area at the time and the pool of skilled labor seriously depleted, it was decided that the club would go with a prefabricated type of structure. Arrangements were soon made for a loan of $80,000 from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. with a grant of one-third of that amount being supplied by the provincial aT PNRC ic A, iad en aa government. The club was still short of start-up funds, however, so every Rotary member pledged $1,000 in order to get the bank loan needed for starting up. CBA Engineering then offered to prepare the site layout and do all of the survey work. By September things were ready to roll. Work began on the site when Vince Tassone, a Castlegar contractor who was asked to clear the brush, not only did so in record time but donated his services to the project. The Village of Kinnaird followed by providing men and equipment at no cost to level the area. Thus, the beginning of November saw Ken Johnson, president of the Castlegar Rotary Club; Carl Loeblich, chairman of the Village of Kinnaird; Curly Cook, Town of Castlegar Alderman; Gerry Archibald and /Alex Creighton, past-presidents-of-the Rotary Club; and project supervisor and Rotarian Paul Oglow gathered at 5th Avenue (now 7th; and Tamarac St. (now Valhalla) for the initial ceremonies. Paul turned the first sod and Guy Guido Construction was awarded the contract to build the foundations which had to be ready for the prefab units by December. The Rotary Club on the advice of CMHC, withdrew formally from the project and the Castlegar Villa Society was formed to complete the work. The new complex was given the name Roto Villa in recognition of the work done by the Rotary Club. Charter members included Jim Lamont as chairman, Mary Anderson vice-chairman, Brita Haley secretary and - Eleanor Holdsworth treasurer. Directors were Gil Suter, Les Campbell, Mrs. Dewis, Gordon Brady, Marjorie Fuller ton, Allan Selbie, Colin Maddocks, Norman McNab, Paul Oglow, George Paulson and Alex Creighton. The work went so well that the 12 units were not only completed on time, but below estimated cost, enabling the Society to construct two more suites downtown — in effect, for free. By the spring of 1969 the villa was completed and shortly after the first tenants moved in. Soon there were demands for more apartments and finally Chairman Oglow was authorized to. make preparations for the desired expansion. Six years of planning and negotiating followed before any real progress for the expansion was made. Finally, Tommy Fraser, the representaive for CMHC, agreed to the expansion on the condition that a grant from the provincial government was forthcoming. This was obtained in short order by phone to Victoria. Influence in the right places isn't everything but it helps a lot. There was only one slight problem in the way of the next step for the society. Its bank account showed a balance of just $7 and the CMHC policy requiréd that the building plans had to be paid for by the society before the project could be started. Chairman Oglow then approached Elmer Verigin of Verigin Industries in Trail and was told that Rop Ross, an engineering consultant and present chairman of the Castlegar Rotary Club and engineer Les Litchin, a Rossland Rotarian had just formed an architectural firm and that they might be able to help.

About 200 people walked for peace in Kaslo in 1983 and peace walks took place the following years in Nelson and New Denver-Silverton. The Vancouver Peace Walk, which traditionally draws in the neighborhood of 100,000 people, took place Saturday. However in the Kaslo community. that day was reserved for the Kaslo school walk-a-thon. There- fore, the Walk for Peace will be today. Walkers will assemble at 1 p-m. at the Kaslo Arena parking area. Directional signs will be posted. Walkers will proceed into Kaslo to the park and then up to Kaslo school. At the school light re- freshments will be available followed by a short program of events.
