Cultural Centre Thursday and at the Lang- ham Centre in Kaslo Friday. This is their third visit to the Kootenays and many will remember the distinctive music and warm friendliness Lalat, is taken from the native Quiche language and means “we sing” or “we create sound that is pleasing to the ear of the people.” Kin Lalat’s musical reper- toire is based on a variety of rhythms and harmonies found throughout Guatemala, Their songs make use of a mixture of tones and sounds, to sontomperery musical Kin Lalat instruments of these Kin Lalat is currently touring Canada and will be arriving direct from an engagement at the annual Vancouver Folk Music Festival.

As a result, the group's interpretations vary from the most authentic expression of Guatemala’s native peoples Local authors to read Saturday The Kootenay School of Writing will feature two local authors at a reading Satur- day to celebrate the publica- tion of their first books. Balfour's Ernst Havemann and Hills’ Janet Simpson- Cooke are already winning favorable reviews. Publishers Weekly calls Havemann “an extraordinary voice” and “a marvellously gifted writer.” Havemann's collection, “Bloodsong: And Other Stories of South Afri- ca” is published by Hough- ton-Mifflin. Hamish-Hamilton will publish the collection next year in England. Reviewer Eugene McNam- ara says the poems in Simp- son-Cooke's “Future Rivers,” published by Ragweek Press, “speak in an authentic, de- ceptively quiet strong voice.” Reviewer Alastair* Mac- Leod calls her a “strong, vi- brant new voice in Canadian poetry. Whether the voices are those of a daughter, a granddaughter, a mother or a lover, they are always urgent with concern; concern for the landscapes and relationships and concern for the land it. self.” Simpson-Cooke grew up in Sardis, B.C. She attended the Banff Centre School of Fine Arts and received an M.A. in the Creative Writing Pro- gram at the University of Windsor. Havemann grew up speak ing Zulu in South Africa, where his parents’ farm div. ided the land of a tribe. He later worked for the South African government admin- istering discriminatory legis- lation. He gratefully quit that job when offered one by Royal Dutch Shell. After working around the world, he and his wife, Isabel, retired to Balfour. Havemann began writing at the David Thompson University Cen tre. His “excursions into un- known cultural country” of South African life have won Havemann three CBC liter- ary awards. His work is pub- lished regularly in The At- lantic. The Saturday reading be- gins at 8 p.m. at the Student Union Building on the David Thompson Campus in Nelson. military destroyed Indian villages and forcibly assimilated native people. Kin Lalat treats traditional instruments and musical forms as sources for contemporary expression. While the music they play is Guatemalan, it also ex- presses much of the struggle for peace and justice that is taking place throughout Central and South America. The three men and two women who make up Kin Lalat are refugees who were forced to flee the political repression in their home country and are now living in Managua, Nicaragua. Kin Lalat’s trans-Canada tour is being sponsored by CUSO, OXFAM and several church based organizations.

Ald. Terry Rogers, chairman of the Castlegar council parks and recreation committee, confirmed this week that a delay in the metal shelving for the books is holding up the opening. The shelving was supposed to have been shipped June 30, but wasn’t sent until July 16. Castlegar librarian Judy Wearmouth says she expects the shelving to arrive within the next two weeks. However, Wearmouth adds that it will be at least another week after the shelving arrives before the library will open to the public. She pointed out that the shelving must be erected and the WHO TURNED OUT AIRPORT LIGHTS? By CasNews Staff A single-engine plane that buzzed Castlegar early Wednesday morn. ing turned out to be a Vancouver pilot looking for the Castlegar Air port’s landing lights. “He wasn't in any trouble at all,” said Ken McTaggart at the Castle- gar Flight Service Station. “He just didn't know there wasn’t any lights here. “He couldn't understand why he wasn't getting a response (from the tower).” McTaggart said the pilot, who was flying from Vancouver to Cal gary, intended to drop a passenger off in Castlegar at around 2 a.m. but was forced to make the stop at Cranbrook instead McTaggart said he does not know exactly how long the pilot circled Castlegar “but it was long enough to wake everybody up.” books now stored in the basement of the Pharmasave building must be moved. That will take about a week. The books from the Kinnaird Library have already been moved into the new library building on 3rd Street. Some of those books have been placed on the shelves from the old library. However, many of the books are still sitting in boxes on the floor of the new library. The new library is being used for the children's summer reading program. In the meantime, the temporary library in the Pharmasave basement is still operating. Elsewhere, council agreed to spend $6,000 to landscape the new library, provided there is enough funds re maining from the contingency allow ance for the building project Landscape architect Nancy Felde, who is also chairman of the city's planning and development advisory committee, prepared the landscaping plan at no cost to the city. At the urging of Mayor Audrey Moore, Rogers agreed to meet with the city engineer to discuss including the banks by Rosewood Manor in the landscaping plan. “It’s all sort of one viewseape,” Moore said. DOUKHOBOR MUSEUM 200 see Tolstoy statue unveiled By MIKE KALESNIKO Staff Writer More then 200 people huddled under blustery skies and heavy rain Saturday at the Doukhobor museum to watch the unveiling of the life-size statue of Russian author and humanitarian Leo Tolstoy. The covering was pulled off the statue of a bearded Tolstoy, posed with one hand tucked in his belt, at 11:30 a.m. after opening speeches from John J. Verigin, Honorary Chairman of the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ, festival coordinator Peter Sam- oyloff, Soviet regional Minister of Cul- ture Yuri Melentyev and Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco. Verigin praised the courage and hard work of the first Doukhobors to emi- « grate to Canada and cautioned society to guard against war and animosity be- tween cultures. “Every day, unrest, instability and violence substantiate the analysis that amonst our ever increasing population there exist countless dangerous areas of misunderstanding, distrust and antagonism in the most important field of proper development,” he said, “that of #uman relations.” e stétue now standing at the Doukhobor museum is one of two erec- ted this summer in Canada.

The statues, made of bronze and mounted on granite bases, were paid for from the funds of a Soviet citizens for peace group and were carved by Russian sculptor Yuri Chernov. At a press conference Friday, Cher- nov described the image he was hoping to achieve when designing the statues. “I did my best to show Tolstoy the way the Doukhobors see him,” he said through Soviet interpreter Edward Solovyov. “Because the esteem of Tol- stoy is that of both a great writer and as a person who helped your _erens: fathers and your gran At a lecture Friday pair at the Brilliant Cultural Centre, Tolstoy's great-grandson Ilya Tolstoy, a pro- fessor at the Moscow State University, told “the approximately 125 people gathered there that his great-grand- father wrote articles about dozens of subjects important in today’s modern society.

The storm was accompanied by tor- rential rains that smashed records dating back more than a decade. The storm also knocked out power to most of Castlegar, in some areas for as long as three hours. Dave Fitchett, duty officer for the Arrow Forest District, said crews are fighting the three new forest fires —all of them spot fires started by the lightning. One is on Mount Sentinel, another near Sullivan Creek south of Castlegar, and a third in the New Denver area. Fitchett said there were reports of four other fires, but crews were unable to verify the reports because of poor weather. He added that more than 5,000 ~ lightning strikes were recorded be- tween 3.a.m. and 3 p.m. Saturday in the area bounded by Castlegar, Nelson and Nakusp. “That's the most I've ever seen,” he said. Fitchett said it was “fortunate” heavy rains accompanied the lightning, because the rains helped keep down the number of new fires. The Castlegar Airport weather office reported 15.2 mm of rain in a half-hour at the height of the storm, between 7:10 and 7:40 a.m. Saturday. That broke the previous half-hour record for July of 13.4 mm set July 20, 1983. The 7.2 mm that fell in five minutes Saturday morning also broke a July record of 5.8 mm for a five-minute rainfall set in 1974. And the 15-minute rainfall of 11.5 mm broke the old mark of 11.2 mm, also set in 1974. Weatherman Jim Richards blamed the storm on a large cluster of thunder storms that moved into the region from Oregon. He said the 80-kilometre wide band of storms “hit the greatest right here.” And more thunder storms are pre dicted. Richards said another cold low is sitting off the West Coast and pockets of storms similar to Saturday's are out over the ocean. He said more storms will move into FLOODED BASEMENT the area over the next few days “but not as intense as (Saturday’'s).” The rains flooded area streets and city crews were called out to unplug watermains.

Cominco talks off despite new offer By The Canadian Press Negotiations between Cominco Ltd. and its striking office and technical employees broke off Friday after the company presented a new offer. A Cominco spokesman said the latest offer was basically the same deal ratified a week ago by about 2,900 production and maintenance workers, members of Local 480 of the United Steelworkers of America. The 450 office and technical employ ees belong to Steelworkers’ Local 9705. The union has been on strike against Cominco's lead-zine operations in Trail and Kimberley since May 9. The 38-month contract accepted by Local 480 contains no general wage increase but has cost-of-living clauses which the union estimates will be worth $1.26 an hour over the life of the contract. Average hourly rate under the previous contract was $14.66. Local 9705 president Jim Saare said that under, Cominco’s latest offer, if office and technical employees want to maintain their current 37'/:-hour work week, they would receive less in cost-of-living increases during the con tract Cominco has been trying to increase the work week to 40 hours. Production and maintenance work ers maintained the shorter week, but gave up 15 minutes a shift of washing-up time There was no indication when talk will continue Even though production and mair tenance workers accepted the new contract they will not return to work until the smatier local has a contract
