Another point of conten- TREK By BARBARA LITTLE On the first official day of Selkirk College's 20th anniversary celebrations Monday a small but enthusiastic group of eight runners retraced the steps of the original “trekkers” as they ran the 11.5 kilometres from the Celgar Pulp operations site of the old “bunkhouse” campus, to the college's current campus. The runners brought with them a young Douglas fir taken from the Celgar site symbolically re-enacting the carrying of the first rough-hewn log flagpole by the charter students to their new college on Jan. 13, 1967. Wilf Sweeney, manager of Celgar Pulp who started the run, jokingly said, “Take that little fir and plant it over at the college and we'll buy it back from you in 80 years.” that began 20 years ago between roo and Selkirk College, complimented the college on its successes over the years, and wished it all the best in the future. current campus. Eight people took part in Monday's run, retracing steps of the original trek in 1967. It was a memorable day, one of coincidences. By chance there were eight runners, and as they found out later, there had been eight flagpole carriers. As fate would have it, Terry De Pasquale (now Jesudason) one of the charter students at the bunkhouse campus in 1960 — happened to be visiting in Trail from her home in Resolute Bay, NWT and heard of the event. She contacted rededication chairman Craig Andrews and was asked to take part. Representing the “old students,” Di Pasquale welcomed the runners at Selkirk College and received the fir tree from Forest Williamson, representing the “new students.” The group of runners “were, as it happens, a nice cross-section of the college and community at large,” explained head librarian John Mansbridge. Mansbridge, whose idea it was to have the run, was the assistant librarian at the original campus in 1966. The runners included three faculty members — Craig Andrews of Continuing Education, Mansbridge, Peter Wood of the Biology department, three students — Barbara Little of Applied Writing, Forest Williamson of Wildland Recreation, Jay McKimm of UT; along with residents Chris D'Arcy, NDP MLA for Rossland-Trail and Ben Thor-Larsen, Celgar millwright. Williamson and McKimm were the first to finish the 11.5 kms in 50 minutes. The little fir, shaken from its journey but still thriving, will be planted at some suitable site on the campus. tees and not the whole board sit on the committee, the other trustees would not be informed of the content of a news release before it is issued. But Wayling said the idea that the full board should be “consulted fully” before a re- lease is issued to the press is “good in theory but not in practice.” However, the trustees agreed to change the duty of the committee to yeerme news rel also agreed to call eat board meetings to discuss releases of news items of a controver- sial nature.

Fleet added that 20 years ago Selkirk College was looked up to because it was the first of its kind — the first community college. Now the college is well-respected among B.C. colleges because it has earned that respect, she said. “We have had some ups and downs, always tackling problems, but somehow we have managed to get through,” Fleet said. “We should look back with pride on the last 20 years and look forward with eager anticipation to the challenges that are ahead.” The rededication ceremonies were the first of a number of anniversary celebrations at the college this year. Other events include a local history conference in March, a pioneer and dignitary day along with the annual awards day in June, a homecoming on the Thanksgiving weekend, and an open house in November. S Castlégar News TREET TALK THE CANADIAN Imperial Bank of Commerce in Nakusp has a new manager — a name that may be familiar to residents. He i» Ken Davis, 29, who goes to Nakusp from Stewart, B.C. where he was manager of the branch there. Davis was born and raised in Castlegar and has been with the Commerce for 10 years, serving in Cranbrook, Whitehorse and Vancouver prior to his posting in Stewart.

However, once in a while even the game of darts ean hold a fascination and interest for spectators who wouldn't waste two minutes watching a spider weave a web! Such was the case late last Friday night (early Saturday morning?) in the Slocan Inn when Richard Maddecks (of Castlegar Savings Credit Union) faced the hometown champion, Drew Abbett Brown, assistant manager of the Inn. Drew took the match, winning two of three games, but Richard got his back during the supper-hour on Saturday, winning two straight games. Patrons of the Inn's beer parlor even quit playing pool, quaffing beer, talking and eating hamburgers to watch the two square off. A grudge match is to be arranged soon, likely at Checkers Pub.

(AP) — An octogenarian married couple will be evicted from a nursing home unless they stop sleeping in a single bed in the room the man shares with three other men, the one fruit stand in the city limits.

HARVESTING No successful bids received By CasNews Staff A Ministry of Forests ad- vertisement seeking bids for pulpwood harvesting in southeastern B.C. has been cancelled without any suc- cessful applicants, a ministry official in Nelson said Tues- day. Gordon Erlandson, a re- source planner in the Nelson office, said the ministry re- ceived one application that “did not fulfil the require- ments of the pulpwood har. vesting agreement.” The rejected application was from Andrew Wood Pro- ducts Ltd. of Merritt, said Daryl Selkirk of the Timber Management Branch in Vic- toria. The agreement would have called for harvesting on Crown lands in all or part of 10 timber supply areas in the Nelson and Kamloops forest regions. A successful applicant would have had to establish, expand, or continue opera. tions in one or more timber processing facilities in B.C., Erlandson said. He added that the agree- ment would not have stipu- lated a specific location for the operation or that a new mill must be built. Erlandson said the minis- try did receive several let- ters of intent expressing in- terest in the agreement if market conditions change for the better. postponed By CasNews Staff An exhibition of works by B.C. young artists slated to open Jan. 27 at the National Exhibition Centre won't start until Feb. 1 The fourth biennial B.C.
