May cools spring fever

A large mass of cold, moist air over the central North Pacific
Ocean created below normal temperatures and above normal rainfall
in Castlegar in May, Environment Canada’s Southeast Interior
weather office said.

Frequent surges of the chilly air would break away from the air

Weak ridges of high pressure tracked across B.C. between the
surges of cold air giving short periods of sun and slightly warmer
temperatures, the report says.

The mean temperature for May was 12.3 C. Normal for the
month is 13 C. May 20 was the warmest day at 25.6 C while May 2
was the coldest with an overnight low of -0.3 C.

The weather office recorded 89.6 mm of rain last month, 148 per
cent of the normal 60. 7 mm for May. There were 17 days of

At the other end of town, repaving
of 3.2 kilometres of Columbia
Avenue immediately south of the in-
terchange will begin when the
Ministry of Highways awards a con-
tract for the work. The ministry
called for tenders last week.

Chernoff said the city will look in-
to borrowing the repaving equipment
to resurface some portions of city
streets in need of repair.

“The city is going to look at that
piece of equipment . . . to see if it
can tide us over until we can do
some major repaving,’’ he said.

The ministry’s project calls for
heating and lifting of existing asphalt
which is then ‘‘rejuvenated’’ and
relaid.

The ministry says the resulting sur-

face has most’ of the same qualities
as new asphalt but costs a fraction of
the price.

In other transportation news, the
Ministry of Highways is expected to
make a decision on the location of
the new bridge between Castlegar
and Robson by the end of June.

Kenn Kample, the city’s director
of engineering and public works, said
the ministry’s project team will have
its final meeting early next week.

He said the team will review and
evaluate the data gathered about the
possible locations for the bridge, as
well as the comments the public
made at open houses earlier this
year.

Following that meeting, the team
will prepare a recommendation for
Minister of Highways Lyall Hanson,

B.C. to target carriers

VICTORIA — The B.C. government will concentrate on big-
ticket items such as appliances when it starts collecting the provincial
sales tax from cross-border shoppers, Trade Minister Howard Dirks
said.

He said the main targets will be truckloads of goods “‘brought
across the border by common carriers,”’ not small items brought back
by average consumers.

“A lot of things ordinary people bring back are tax-exempt in

* said Dirks, MLA for Nelson-Creston.
inister said the collection system would be inefficient if the
government had to bill cross-border shoppers for small amounts. It
would also be a waste of time to require detailed lists of taxable
grocery items.

Last week, Dirks announced an agreement with the federal
government to allow British Columbia to collect the six-per-cent sales
tax on goods brought through U.S. border points.

The federal government not collect the tax directly but will

to the consumer.
Dirks could not say when the tax collection system will come into
effect.

College fiils board seats

Province appoints
Nelson residents

The provincial government has
appointed two Nelson residents to
the Selkirk College board of gover-
nors.

Katherine Rowe and Pat
McLaughlin each received a one-year
appointment to the board to replace
Ed Mannings and Gary Exner who
had each attained the six-year
maximum service permitted under
ministerial guidelines for board ap-
pointments, the college said in a
news release.

Rowe, a chartered accountant, is
office manager at the firm of Berg
and Naqvi, chartered accountants.

She is a graduate of the University of
California at Berkeley and completed
her chartered accountant
professional designation in 1983. She
has worked for several accounting
firms in B.C. and from 1984-88, she
taught accounting and finance cour-
ses at the College of New Caledonia
in Prince George. While there, she
was active in the Prince George
Chartered Accountant’s Association
serving as secretary-treasurer for one
term and president for one term.
McLaughlin is a native of Trail
and a graduate of J.L. Crowe secon-
dary school. After spending a year at

Wenatchee Valley College in
Washington, he attended Selkirk
College for a year in 1977, before
transferring to the University of Vic-
toria for two years.

After university, he returned to the
area and began working in his
family’s printing business, where he
is a co-owner. Active in community
affairs, McLaughlin served a four-
year term as a director on the Nelson
Chamber of Commerce and he is
currently a director in the Nelson
Golf and Recreation Society.

In 1986, McLaughlin was selected
to participate in a six-week trip to
Japan through Rotary International.
He is married and has three children
and enjoys golf, squash and spen-
ding time with his young family.

“After my first board meeting I
can begin to get a sense of how in-

volved serving on the board can be,”
McLaughlin said. “I’m looking
forward to the honor of serving on
the board and from what I've seen of
it so far, it looks like an interesting
time is in store.’”

Mannings was appointed to the
college board in March 1985 while
Exner received his initial appoin-
tment in April 1985. He has served
as the board’s vice-chairman on the
executive of the B.C. Association of
Colleges and as the board’s liaison to
the Advanced Education Council of
B.C.

At the May 21 board meeting,
board chairman Elizabeth Fleet ex-
pressed the college’s appreciation to

p.m, June 13 at the Waneta Plaza and McDonald's

parking lot in Trail.

Trained volunteers and professionals will check
your child’s car seat to advise whether it’s installed
and used correctly, ICBC says in a news release.

ICBC’s Captain Click will hand out balloons and

Since 1985, it has been mandatory for children
under six years old to be buckled into car seats or
safety belts when riding in a vehicle. Six years later,
in B.C. only one safety seat in three is installed in
compliance with the manufactarer's instructions,

according to a Transport Canada study.

Meanwhile, the Castlegar Library played host to about 85 kids
and adults for a singalong led by Don Brown and A Salute to Music
puppet show performed by Anne Kelley and Cecilia Skwarok.

““We were very pleased . . . the kids really got into it,’’ assistant
librarian Kay Mealing said.

Capping the day were dances put on by the Castlegar Slo-pitch
League and the Castlegar firefighters fireworks display.

This year, two dances were held at the Community Complex to
provide music for a range of tastes.

Organizer Mary Ann Ady said the concept proved to be a
resounding success, and although liquor sales were down, the dances
were also a financial success.

“People thought it was great,"’ she said. ‘‘If anyone got bored
with one, they could go to the other one. There was a lot of
movement between the two dances . . . people liked it.’”

The money raised, which hadn’t been tallied as the CasNews
went to press, all goes back into improving the various ball fields in
Castlegar, Ady said.

The fireworks, a new event this year, also attracted crowds but
lost money. The 22-minute display cost $4,766 but only about $4,000
was raised through donations prior to Sunfest.

“We'd like to make it an annual event but fundraising could be a
problem,”* coordinator Len Bieler said.

Following the second pancake breakfast of the weekend put on
by the Rotary Club and SuperValu, people had a choice Sunday of
numerous Sunfest act

At Kinnaird Park, kids had a field day with the activities set up
especially for them, including games, a karaoke machine for a taste of
show business and a frog-jumping contest, to name a few.

Coordinator Larissa Plotnikoff said children and parents had a

great time.

“What I think really put the day over the top was the karaoke,’’
she said. ‘Everyone had a blast with it.””

Ald. Jim Chapman hosted the annual frog-jumping contest, for
his 19th time.

David Rizzotti won a boy’s bike and trophy with his frog Zipper,
which jumped 2.29 metres, while Kermit won the girl’s bike and
trophy for Amanda Verigin by jumping 1.78 metres.

Justin Maddocks came second with Hop Frog, which jumped
2.18 metres, while Tyler Huestis took third with Toro, which jumped
two metres.

Frogette, a frog owned by Valerie Kosowan, was judged the
cutest frog, Crystal Demke’s frog Sylvester was deemed the coolest
and Sasha, owned by Jeffrey Zurek, was named the smartest.

A record 90 kids and their frogs hopped into the contest ring,
beating the previous record of 75.

“Next year if we have the same amount, we'll definitely have two
rings going at the same time,’’ Chapman said.

The KBS Canine Frisbee Contest kept the action going with five
dogs vying for a healthy supply of dog food.

Selwa, owned by Don Angerilli, took first place and 150 pounds
of dog food. Alex, owned by Les Doskoch, took second and 100
pounds of dog food, and Dobie, owned by Don Barton, took third
and 50 pounds of dog food.

An evening with Crystal Gayle capped Sunfest ’91 on a musical
note following this year’s theme A Salute to Music.

Gayle’s down-home style shone through her performance which
included a string of past and present hits and a duet-mediey with one
of her sisters travelling with the show.

Following the contest, Gayle and opening act Gary Fjeligaard met
with fans.

Before her performance, Gayle spent time at the West Kootenay
Photo Salon viewing the work of local photographers on display in
another new Sunfest event put on by the West Kootenay Camera

“1 Jove it here, I wish I had more time,” Gayle said, promising to
come back for a longer visit.
