Outlook tor Suntest weekend: Improvement Friday Saturday but back to showers Sunday Sunfest schedule +++ Special pull-out tab May wettest ever By SIMON BIRCH Editor It shouldn't come as much of\a sur- prise. May 1990 is in the books as the wet- test May on record in Castlegar. As of 8 a.m. today, the Castlegar weather office had recorded 116.8 mm of rain, swamping the Previous record of 103.8 mm set in May 1981, said Tom Willson of the weather of- fice where the record books go back to 1965. And with scattered showers in the forecast tonight and tomorrow afternoon, the total rainfall this mon- th may edge even higher. Willson said some sprinkles this morning also tied the 1984 record for most days in May with measurable Precipitation — 21. The average is 12. From May 10-29 inclusive, rain fell on 19 of the 20 days. And daily rainfall records were set on May 29 when 30.4 mm fell, breaking the previous record for that day of 23.1 mm, and on May 22 when the weather office recorded 12 mm of rain, beating the old record of 9 mm for that day. Despite the persistent overcast con- ditions, Castlegar may not set a new record for fewest hours of sunshine in May. Willson said the total as of May 29 was 142.4 hours — just one hour short of the record low of 143.4 hours set in 1981. But a couple of breaks in the clouds today and tomorrow may Prevent a new record. “*A couple of hours of sunshine isn’t hard to get,”’ Willson noted. Looking toward Sunfest weekend, Willson said the area should get “‘marginally good’ weather Friday afternoon and Saturday as we get a break between weather systems. “*It looks like we could be back to showers by Sunday,” he said. The cause of all this weather misery are extensive areas of low pressure which move in from the Pacific and on to the Washington and Oregon coasts, Willson said. The systems sit there for five or six days while surges of moisture orbit around the low Pressure area and ‘‘inundate us with 5 Precipitation,”’ he said. As well, a slight shift toward a more southerly flow of air has raised the § freezing levels in the area,- Willson said. “Consequently, we're getting a ittle more melting in the higher els,’’ he said. The increased runoff adds to the isk of road washouts, Willson said. Highway 6 about 20 kilometres puth of New Denver has been closed Pcause of a mudslide, said Doug ‘er, a radio operator for the High- ys Ministry’s regional office.

As well, the Kootenay transpor- tation task force presented its own brief to the NTA, Wally Penner said Tuesday, Any decision on the Castlegar-to- Midway line should be postponed un- til after Celgar Pulp Co. has com- pleted its second report as part of the Provincial government's review of the proposed pulp mill rT Ministries Oppose abandonment to ensure the lines could be reinstated in the future if they become viable The NTA turned down CP’s initial application for abandonment of the line two years ago because there was a Possibility the line could become Profitable in the future, said Roy Proctor, ‘the chief of transportation subsidies for the NTA’s western region. The NTA gave notice in March that it is reconsidering CP’s application for abandonment. The agency can order public hearings if it determines there is evidence of-a substantial amount of economic development in the area that could lead to greater use of the branch line, Proctor said earlier this month. Penner said, explaining the reasons for the interventions by the ministries and the task force. Celgar has been asked by the Provincial committee overseeing the review process to consider means of tr.nsportation other than chip trucks for the expected increased volume of wood chips to the expanded mill Celgar has been asked to look at the viability of rail and barge yanspor-. tation in its second report.

The federal and provincial en- vironment ministers will make the final detisions but one of the recommendations is for the panet to consist of three people, Paul Scott said Tuesday from Van- couver Those who are chosen for the panel must be knowledgeable Feds, province ponder panel about the’ pulp industry er en- vironmental concerns relating to pulp mills but must have no con- nections that would put them in a conflict-of-interest situation, Scott explained. ‘I'm hoping it (selection of the panel) will be done quickly,’’ he said, noting the panel must be in place by the time Ceigar completes its revised environmental impact assessment for stage two of the Provincial government’s Major Project Review Process. The panel will study Ceigar’s report. The joint panel could speed up the review process because Celgar will be meeting the environmental requirements of ‘both levels of government at the same time, Scott said earlier this month. ree! mmed tight against her desk as she gets some work os her contrib fo National Access her Costews photo by Kris Stonbro Day in wheelchair cramps Strong's style By CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Staff Writer Your. familiar world becomes frustrating, uncooperative and even alien when you go from two legs to two wheels, Marilyn Strong, of Strong and Associates, said Tuesday after being the first of five Castlegar residents to spend a day im a wheelchair as part of National Access Awareness Week activities in Castlegar Strong said her problems began right away Monday morning as she tried to get the wheelchair into her of fice building. “I quickly found out that ground floor access does not mean ground level access,’’ she said, explaining how the sill in the doorway made get ting inside the office time-consuming and complicated.
