She was less concrete about the
city’s proposed transit system, saying
there is a “definite need” for “possible”
implementation ofa compact transit
system.

In a departure from past inaugural
meetings, Moore did not name mem-
bers of the standing committees. In-
stead she said she will announce the
committees at next Tuesday's meeting
following an all-day workshop Satur-
day where council will examine the
structure and role of council, “taking
stock of where we are now and focusing
on the key issues that must be

The letter was sent by Meredith's daughter Fay

“At the end of last month they, moved up here,”

explained Meredith. “They've been here a month.”

Meredith says he hasn't asked Canada Post about the
delay. “I figure it's useless to talk to them anyway,” he

But he thought he would “let people know what

Meredith adds that Canada Post is “always wanting

TREET TALK

CASNEWS COLUMNIST -John Charters has
written his way to'a VIA Rail getaway holiday for two.
Charters, 69, won the prize in a contest for the best
English language story in the Canadian Heritage ‘85
short story contest.

Charters’ winning story is a profile of Alexander
Zuckerberg, a Russian emigre to Castlegar and a
personal friend of Charters.

The story chronicles Zuckerberg’s lifetime efforts to
preserve what is now known as Zuckerberg Island at the
confluence of the Kootenay and Columbia rivers.

The short story contest for Canadians over 60 was
offered by the National Parks Centennial Citizens’
Committee in cooperation with VIA Rail to encourage
public participation in the celebration of 100 years: of
heritage conservation in Canada.

The NPCCC received close to 500 entries in both
official languages prior to the Sept. 30 deadline.

LIFE IN a small town can be very rewarding,
especially when you give as well as receive.

This is the discovery of two W.E. Graham Secondary
School teachers at Slocan.

Debbie Dillon, of Surrey, is teaching home economics
and other subjects while Lorna Newman, of Duncan, is
teaching English and computer science. They're staying
at the Slocan Motel (where owner Vera Hamilton, who
also operates Vera's Place restaurant, is clucking over
them like a mother hen). Both have become quite active
in the community.

Debbie is curling and teaches sewing and chocolate
making while Lorna is offering piano lessons. Both
women have taken up cross-country skiing.

“Life-in a small community could be boring, but it
certainly isn’t here,” laughs Debbie.

Debbie flys to Buffalo at Christmas. where her
husband is studying for his pharmacy doctorate. He'll be
flying back with her to spend some time visiting “the gem
at the end of Slocan Lake.”

THE KOOTENAY Cattle Co. has expanded again.

Mel Smelland’s one-location Warfield operation has
grown again, this time opening in Colville, Wash.

Besides Warfield and Colville, Mel also has Kootenay
Cattle Co. restaurants in Nelson and Cranbrook.

CUTLER’S NEWS in Nelson has new owners. They
are Brian and Debbie Stuart. Cutler's has also opened a
second location in the Chahko-Mika Mall to go along with
its Baker Street site.
