Accurate indication?

Was the turnout at Thursday's

Expo 86 community program

gan of

this community’ 's interest in the
Vancouver world’s fair?

The meeting was called to in-
form local business people and
community leaders about the
possible economic benefits and
spin-offs the world exposition can
otter Castlegar.

In these times of tight money
and a slumping economy; it
wouldn't have been out of the
q ‘ent anntich en cad
of perhaps 50 or 60 — maybe even
70 people — all looking for ways to
boost business through Expo 86.

Instead, less than 15 people
showed up, one of the poorest tur-
nouts in the Kootenays. Trail had

more than 40 at its meeting the
night before.

Expo community program
coordinator Paula Fairweather
pointed out that numbers aren't
important, it's how active the
people are who turn out.

Unfortunately, the most active
participant at Thursday's meeting
was a marina operator trom
Washington state. He also came up
with the only ideg of the evening
— @ boat tour stretching from
Golden through the Arrow Lakes
and along the Columbia River into
the U.S.

lt says something that the
major voice at a meeting that will
ultimately benefit Castlegar is
from out of town.

For some reason, Castlegar
doesn't see itself as a tourist town.

This area has the potential to
be a major Kootenay tourist attrac-
tion. The Arrow Lakes lie at our
back door. Rivers for

rafting and kayaking are a stone's
throw away. And the mountains
near here provide for some spec-
tacular hiking. That's just for star-
ters.

Yet, the only people who
reatly know about it are the local
residents.

One private comment made at
Thursday's meeting was that Expo
86 will be a bust, that it won't at-
tract the millions of visitors it says
it needs to break even.

Whether that's true or not
shouldn't matter, because there's
no doubt the Vancouver world’s
fair will attract many visitors who
wouldn't normally come to B.C.
The way things are going, those
visitors will stop in Nelson and
Trail before they'll stop in
Castlegar.

And we'll only have oursejves
to blame.

On Jan. 19, 1985, John (Jack) A.
Ratkowski graduated from Earth to
Heaven. His father, a strong minded
Pole, brought his young family to
Canada in 1904. John was two years
old, the first-born of several chil
dren.

His father, Ratkowski senior,
became a successful cattle buyer
and built a large home for his
growing family. Jack did speak
about the house that was like a

hotel.
Several farm community families
of various used the

-_——

Mary followed Jack through Hell
and high water. The song My
Elusive Dream springs immediately
to mind. Jack got work in Butte,
Montana. He played violin in the
Alley Cat by night and drove a grain
truck during the day.

He tells of the night some cowboy
started shooting up the place. He
also shared many other stories
which should go in a book on the
man. Here are a few highlights of a
colorful Canadian citizen: He made
and sold bootleg w whiskey during the

wedding parties or other celebra-
tions going full swing in the big
house.

Not surprisingly young Jack took
an interest in making music. He
would rather fiddle than farm and
old Dad was not pleased. At one
point the aspiring, serious young
violinist was offered the oppor-
tunity to study in New York under
the sponsorship of a medical doctor
relative.

However, as most first-born sons
well know, responsibility at home is
a far more important priority. The
observant lad noticed that fiddle
players were paid 50 cents to play
for a Saturday night dance. Classical
violinists appeared to be satisfied
with a round of applause from
polite, gentile matrons of the arts.

The farmer-turned-fiddler had a
serious disagreement with his
father one fateful day. His violin
was smashed over the end of the old
wooden bed. Jack retrieved the
pieces, placed them carefully in the
case —and left home.

He walked the 100 kilometres to
Brandon along the railway tracks.
The boy, now a man, was 16 years
old. The year was 1918.

He worked as a stock boy in a
grocery store. Jack was in due
course befriended by a farmer near
Prince Albert not much older than
himself who took him on as a farm
hand. In 1923 he met and fell in love
with a 14-year-old girl called Mary

camouflaged com the stairwell in
their Butte apartment.

He survi an accident with a
Montana freight train. The incident
confirms the fact that Poles are
hard-headed. The force of the colli-
sion drove the man through the roof
of the truck, mangled his left arm
and tore away most of his scalp.

Just last week I felt that inden-
tation for the last time. Eight
months he lay hospitalized. Mary
walked the 10 kilometres seven
days a week for the entire stay.
They left Montana.

Mary, five-foot, 1l-inches and
Jack with one arm in a sling, built a
log cabin for their young family.
Then the Depression hit.

He- worked in the mines near
Fernie. Saved his workmates from
certain death or serious injury by
the brute force derailment of a
runaway timber car. Jack Ratkow-
ski rode a balloon-tired bicycle from
Fernie to Nelson in 1942 just on
chance he could get a job with the
railroad.

He ran a fish and chip shop on
Main Street in Vancouver. He
pushed broom for the school district
for 15 years.

Jack Ratkowski could have been a
doctor, a concert violinist, an en-
gineer or a scientist. Family or not,
we are going to miss him because he
represented an era — an era of
warm-hearted, fun-loving and hard-
working men. And he made a lot of
people happy with his music.

staff. I assume your concern over this
figure is pure ignorance of the nature
of a public service institution. Unlike a
factory which produces a finished
product, the college offers a wide range
of services to its customers — the
student and community user.

In support of the basic education
offered, activities such as duplicating,
typing, room bookings, gymnasium
services, bookstore, library services,
equipment repair and inventory are all

but in eight years all that has
d is more and
more restraint.

The only passing comment you make
is that Selkirk College may be harder
hit than other colleges. In no place do
you challenge the government's policy
of slashing educational and health
funding in pursuit of a ghostly dream of
a “New Economic Reality”; « reality

Union members are
community-minded

Editor, Castlegar News:

I was pleased to read the article by
Pat Metge in the Jan. 20 Castlegar
News concerning the construction of
the Old Arena by community volun-
teers. It is enlightening to see the
services of these good citizens
remembered even after 20 some years
have passed. The community spirit in
small towns such as Castlegar is what
makes these areas grow and thrive.

However, I wpuld like to add a
postscript to Mr. Metge's article. In
1983, when the Old Arena was
renovated, although the majority of the
work was contracted out, the electrical
work was done free of charge.
Members of Local 1003, International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers,
organized themselves into a volunteer

group and donated their time and skills
to complete the rewiring of the Old
Arena.

Several members set up a phoning
committee and put together a work
crew, dividing the job into so many
days for each member, as most were
unemployed at the time. Hence, the
electrical work was done without cost
of labor to the town of Castlegar.

In this day of Mr. Bennett's obvious
attempt to discredit union members in
B.C. and lay the blame for most of the
province's wrongs directly on their
shoulders, I believe it should be noted
that union members are community
minded individuals as well.

Editor, Castlegar News:

On behalf of the Katimavik group
now working on community projects in
Castlegar, I would appreciate any help
your readers can give in finding billets
for 19 days in February.

Katimavik is a national program that
brings young people together from all
parts of Canada, to work as a team and
to gain a better understanding of our
country. That experience includes a
brief stay with families in the host
communities.

We would like to hear from families
im or near Castlegar who can offer
accommodation from Feb. 2-20.
Katimavik will help to defray expen-
ses.

Group members may continue
working at their community projects
during this period, or may be involved
full-time in the daily activities of the
host family. In either case, the billeting
experience is meant to be an educa-

tional one.

I hope to arrange all billeting for the
nine members of our group by today.
Families who might be interested in
providing a home and a warm weleome
are invited to call me at 365-6933.
