Heritage Trust direction, is ancestral native land of the Arrow Lakes Band dating back more than 3,000 years. Numerous artifacts and human remains have been uncovered at the site and are currently being held at the B.C. Provincial Museum in Vic- toria. The society plans a reburial ceremony in July. The RDCK board voted to send a letter to Highways Minister Neil Vant supporting the project but asking that the ministry pave the entire length of the road, create a “buffer zone’ of trees between the burial site and the road and erect a fence along the property line on the site. Silver- ton director John Anderson and Earl Hamilton (Area F) opposed the decision Gunn said after the meeting that the road will destroy the ‘‘ambiance and integrity of the site,” provide easy ac- cess to the artifacts and perhaps disturb remains that have not yet been found Barkley said an archeologist will be present during the road construction and if the road runs over any burial grounds “they will be there for the future.”” Highways Ministry officials say there are no suitable alternatives to the proposed location of the road. The project is scheduled to go to tender June 26 with construc- tion expected to start in early August for completion in the fall Clock ticking as crew races to save site DELTA (CP) — An archeological crew is racing against the clock, trying to salvage finds from a rich dig unear- thed during a highway expansion project. The ancient Indian buriatsite, which may contain up to 10,000 skeletons, is on land the Highways Ministry is using to expand a right-of-way through the Tsawwassen Indian reserve. “It’s a very, very important site," said Geordie Howe, field supervisor for Arcas Associates. ‘And it’s too bad, because we need much more leeway. But we're under strict time constraints. Premier VANCOUVER (CP) — British ‘Columbia’s econony is ‘‘in order like none other in Canada,"’ Premier Bill Vander Zalm said. The Social Credit premier, in his an- nual state of the province address, said British Columbia has achieved record levels of capital investment and job creation Earlier this year, the province in- troduced its first balanced budget in a Arcas is under contract to the ministry to salvage archeological material from the site in Delta, southot Vancouver, over the next five weeks Howe said only a fraction of: the overall site will be affected by the highway expansion Last week, the archeological team discovered the skeleton of a child buried five to 15 centuries ago, the 11th skeleton in six days. “It’s phenomenal,” said Howe ““There’s just mound-after mound af ter mound — in the woods here and they just go on andonand on you can walk all around ‘There could be hundreds or thousands of people buried in here. If the same pattern exists throughout, there could be as many.as 10,000.”" ONCE A VILLAGE The existence of the site, once a Salish summer village that was home to ancestors of both the Musqueam and Tsawwassen, was first officially recor ded by an archeologist in the 1920s. But it remained largely forgotten and unexplored until last year, when the Highways Ministry approached the 150-member Tsawwassen Indian band says economy OK decade, he told his Vancouver Board of Trade audience “There have been 10 provincial budgets and a federal one and only one jurisdiction — ours — has managed to balance its budget,’’ he said to hearty applause “Our fiscal house is in order like none othere in Canada. | think much of that is related to the policies of our government.” Vander Zalm’s message seemed to hit its mark in the audience of almost 600 business people “It speaks very well for his gover- nment and his leadership and the policies he’s instituted,’’ said Doug Vincent, assistant managing director for the Board of Trade. *‘1 want him to keep up with the good work and I think that anybody you talk to in the business community across the provin ce would say the same thing.”” Simulated emergency hits Hugh Keenleyside dam By CasNews Staff Anearthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale hit the Revelstoke area at approximately midnight Monday but only a select few noticed it. The earthquake was simulated by B.C. Hydro Dam Safety as part of a series of dam exercises to test the reac- tion of the operators at each dam. Dave Cattanach, assistant to the director of dam safety for B.C. Hydro, said the exercise began Monday at 6 a.m. in Montana with a similar ear- thquake programmed into a dam’s computers in that state. The flow from the Noxin dam in Montana goes north into a main storage dam at the Canada-U.S. bor- der and then into the Seven Mile Reservoir and into the Pend D’Oreille River That exercise tested reactions by operators along the Pend D’Oreille while the Revelstoke earthquake was designed to test dams along the Columbia River. “The exercise in the Revelstoke region called for an earthquake to hit around midnight on Monday and cause the Duncan and Revelstoke and Mica dams to fail and cause an in- creased in flow down through the chain,’’ Cattanach said. At the Hugh Keenleyside dam, the effects of the simulated earthquake hit Disabled continued from front page whose children might not meet the medical criteria for this program but still need a break from the ongoing care of their handicapped child,"” Vander Zalm said The new program does not cover home renovation, vehicles, com- munication aids or benefits which might be available through other programs, he said. The Social Services, Housing and Health ministries will share $10.95 million of the program’s annual cost, with $3.75 million coming from the provincial lottery fund. New Democrat Joan Smallwood said parents must be involved in con- sultation about delivery of the program. “There has 4o be a recognition that parents know best about how to look after their kids,’’ said Smallwood, who in April arranged a around 11 a.m. Tuesday. Cattanach said the dam had theotetically suffered some damage and the test called for the operators to notify the property people as the situation worsened The City of Castlegar’s department of engineering and public works par- ticipated in the exercise and kept the media, including the Castlegar News, informed of the simulated emergency ““The emergency prepareness plans go into effect,”’ said Cattanach. ‘This involves notifying people and keeping regular updates on the situation The exercise will continue throughout the province until Friday although Cattanach said that any changes in flow in a real emergency would not reach the coast until Sun- day. “*We want to conclude the testing by the weekend,”’ he said. Cattanach also said that it will be at least two weeks before all the information has been gathered and reviewed by the engineers who planned the exercises.
