Castlegar is featured again in
Beautiful British Columbia Mag-
azine.

The article, entitled “Castle-
gar...Easy to Find, Hard to Dis-
cover", written by Castlegar's
John Charters, can be found in
the 1992 winter edition of Beauti-
ful BC magazine.

Castlegar’s own gold nugget,
John Charters,
describes Castle-

ful BC M: Bryan McGill,
for his patience while Charters
was ill.

“Bryan was so helpful and
patient. I give him credit for his
faith and confidence in me.
McGill has been kindness itself.”

McGill approached Charters
on behalf of Beautiful BC Maga-
zine in the early spring of 1992 to
write a story on Castlegar.

* He
wanted an hon-

gar as a “gold-
dust-in-gravel
community”.
The article is
written as only
John Charters
could write it,
full of. depth, and
seen through
myopic eyes
blinded by the
beauty and
uniqueness of
Castlegar.
Originally
Charters came to
Castlegar on a
one year teach-
ing contract.

McGill _ said,
“tell it like it is,

Now
Castlegar’s local
historian and
writer has a
vision. Charters
would like to
take his article
and use it to con-
vince Maverick
Tours to include
Castlegar as a
tour option.

That was in
1947, 45 years
later Charter still r i a

“Tourism is

Proud proclaimer of the commu-

nity.

“The place grows on you. You
have to stay for a while and see
what you can see.”

This is the third such article
that Beautiful BC Magazine has
printed on the Castlegar area.
Two previous articles printed
were also submitted by Charters.

The first article featured
Castlegar's Doukhobor communi-
ty, and was released in 1974. The
second article was written by
Charters in 1987 and featured
Zaukerberg Island.

Charters wrote the recent
Castlegar article while battling a
debilitating and exhausting dis-
ease, polymyalgia, 'a degenerative

ng a big We rely
too much on Celgar. We need to
put out the welcome mat.”

Most tours are linear. That is,
the tour progresses from town to
town. Charters feels that a hub
and spoke tour would be less
exhausting. A hub and spoke tour
uses a city, or town as the base of
the tour, with daily forays out-
ward to areas of interest.

“British tours are hub and
spoke, they're not as tiring.”

Charters feels that Castlegar,
with all its tourist attractions
within a navigable radius, would
be the natural locality to imple-
ment this type of tour.

“Castlegar is centrally located
for this type of operation.”
Charters views local tourism

Warfield Council

as going including outlying »
areas. “As I see Castlegar, it docs
not stop at city limits.” Castlegar
has got to be seen as a commouni-
ty in some kind of historical per-
spective.”

This view is reflected ‘in the

Avenue", and a reflective photo
of the Kootenay Doukhobor His:
torical Museum. It also features
photos of some of the citizens of

Councillor Jim Nelson votes ‘No’ to pay increase

TRAIL TIMES

Warfield village council
voted itself a five per cent
increase in stipend last night,
but it wasn’t

a five per cent increase “is a
$78 difference (for each coun-
cillor)”.

Council members currently
receive $3,339 in stipend while

When councillor Ray Furlotte
put forward the proposal to
pass a bylaw giving the village
politicians an increase to match
that of unionized village staff,
councillor Jim Nelson voted
against the motion

"I don't think this is the
appropriate time,” he said

But Nelson received no
encouragement from other
council members who all voted
for the increase.

Councillor Eric O'Dell poipt-
ed out that although he and Nel-
son didn't lose money by being
council members— O'Dell
because he has some autonomy
over his business hours and
Nelson because he is retired —
councillors Ray Furlotte and
Arlene Parkinson and Mayor
Bill Trewhella either have to
pay someone else's wages for a
lost day or not get paid if they
are on village business...

Nelson said running for pub-
lic office “wasn’t forced on us.”

He said he could readily
agree to a 2.5 per cent increase,
because that is the cost of living
increase. He said he voted
against the 5 per cent staff
increase for the same reason.

But O’Dell said the differ-
ence between a 2.5 increase and
