October busy for library By JUDY WEARMOUTH Librarian October was the busiest month yet at the Castlegar Library. Circulation reached an all-time high of 8,415 and 241 people joined. The adult circulation figure alone ex- ceeded most of the previous Castlegar and Kinnaird Branch totals. Although Young Canada Book Week was set for Nov. 2-6, the librarians have been giving library tours, stories and coukies to most of the Kindergarten to Grade 3 schools in the district throughout October. To date, 331 children have visited the library and more classes are booked through November. The pre-school story hours have a full regis- tration of 20 children per session but names are still being accepted for the wait- ing lists. Carolee Fitzgerald. has been appointed to fill the board secretary position left vacant after Sally Knight left the area. The West Kootenay Lib- rary Association helds its annual general meeting and a workshop in the Library's meeting room last Saturday. The workshop, on library board/staff relations, was given by Bev Varty, the Kimberley librarian, and Christine Rinaldi of the East Kootenay Library Society Board. It pinpointed the wide- spread problem of confusion between board and staff roles. The visiting librarians and trustees were unanimous in their approval of Castle- gar’s new facility. New books now are dis- played for a week on reserve so that patrons can add their names to the request lists.

However, the rail company won't say if it plans to spray rail lines outside the \city limits. CP Rail superintendent Mac Ab- erdeen said the railway won't spray next spring as planned “mainly because ‘the mayor expressed her concerns to of copneil,” ism who is based in Revel- Stoke, informed Mayor Audrey Moore of CP Rail’s decision on Friday morning. “CP Rail has a right to spray, but at this point in time we're not going to,” Aberdeen said in a telephone interview. citizens; we're not always perceived that way.” CP Rail proposed spraying the herbicide Spike 80W along its tracks between Castlegar, Nelson and Trail. The spraying drew witle- spread protest from local governments and area residents. However, the B.C.

A total of 80 voters’ cast their ballots at the advance poll held from 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. at city hall. “That's the largest advance poll that I've ever been aware of,” return- ing officer Betty Price said. Last year only 23 voters turned out for the advance poll. But there wasn't a mayoral race last year. However, only 35 ballots were cast at the advance poll in 1985 — the last year there was a challenge for the mayor's position. Price said voter turnout was “steady all day.” Last year the voter turnout on election day was about 43 per cent — high for a year in which there was no mayoral race. Price said the turnout was more in line with the years when there is a contest for the mayor's chair. Polls will be open from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. next Saturday at the Stanley Humphries secondary school activity room. There will also be a mobile poll TV LISTINGS OUT OF WHACK No, Castlegar has not switched to Mountain Time. But the CasNews TV Week listings published in the Nov. 12 issue are one hour ahead of what they should be. The New York company that provides the be inadvertently shifted Castlegar into the Mountain Time zone. Unfortunately, next week's list- ings have already been printed and are also one hour ahead of schedule. However, the listings will return to normal with the Nov. 25 Castlegar News. We are sorry for any incon- venience. from 2 - 8 p.m. at the Castlegar and District Hospital, but only for patients and staff confined to the hospital during regular polling hours. Meanwhile, there is a slight change in voting regulations this year. Price said the municipality is using the provincial voters’ list as the official list of registered voters. Those not on the provincial voters’ list can still vote. They must register on election day at the polling station. The major change in voting this year is that voters must be a Canadian citizen. In past years voters could be a Canadian citizen or “other British subject.” However, changes to the act have ruled out British subjects from voting. Elsewhere, Ald. Terry Rogers told a Castlegar council meeting this week there are “some glaring omissions” from the provincial voters’ list. Rogers said the list doesn't include voters who haye lived in Castlegar for years. He noted that registration cards for those voters not on the provincial list can be obtained at city hall and filled in before voting day. He suggested filling in the cards before election day would help speed up pro- ceasing at the courtesy poll next ONSPICUOUS FIRE . Retuse fire near the old feaikin ‘sawmill in Brilliant created quite a stir Friday evening. Blaze was visible for miles and By BONNE MORGAN Staff Writer A massive fire that lit up the sky over Castlegar and sent huge clouds of smoke into the air Friday evening was merely a controlled refuse fire at the old Hadikin sawmill. ‘The fire, which could be seen for miles, caused concern for many Castlegar area residents. Fred Hadikin said he set the fire around 3 p.m. and the piles of scrap slab-wood kept him up until about 3 a.m. Saturday. ‘The light rain that fell on the area that afternoon and evening did not slow the fire. Flames shot five metres or more inte the air. Fire sparks concern caused concern for some residents who thought a home or bulidingiwak py ti.
