Wayne Peppard, a member of

taking a “step in the right direc-

problem of how to determine

what an allowable annual cut

“Its good they’re moving

“But this determination does not

Movie hits
another snag

A movie about the Doukhobors, originally slated
to be filmed in Castlegar in 1986, has hit another
snag, this time a possible legal battle over who
owns the screenplay.

The Dispossessed, written by John Stark, has
had numerous problems getting from the story-
board to the screen and came to a standstill after
Telefilm Canada turned down Stark's application
for a $1.5 million grant to complete the Project.
Stark then turned the project over to Okanagan in:
vestors Willie and Judy Sellin who offered to raise
money by selling shares in the movie with the idea
of making the film in Kamloops.

Now, Stark says in a news release issued last
week, he has resigned from the company he had
formed with the Sellins and withdrew rights to the
screenplay, claiming little of the funds the Sellins
raised — Stark says over $40,000 — was made
available to him for production.

The Sellins have hired a Los Angeles writer to
complete the screenplay and are claiming owner-
ship of the project and the screenplay.

Stark has turned the matter over to his lawyer
and now says he's been offered a deal by a con-
sortium of Russian-American producers who are
willing to put up half of the $4 million to complete
the project if it is filmed in Russia.

Residents want hall saved

Fate of Kinnaird
building now up
to city council

From the ceilings and walls hang
remnants of adhesive tape and party
streamers. The floors are nicked and
scraped, ceilings stained, walls
scratched and gouged, but to the
people who use it, Kinnaird Hall is a
vital part of the community.

“We're staying,” said Molly White,

want for the future of the hall.

“Some people still want the small-
ness and hominess of this hall,”
Clara Gerrand added.

pening the ing,
Bruce Gerrand and Castlegar’s
director of engineering Kenn Hample
stressed that “despite rumors” city
council has not yet made a it
on the hall’s future. They said the
purpose of the meeting was to gather
information for council so it can
make a decision on the hall’s fate,

A review of the building last year
turned up critical health and fire
deficiencies and a dismal financial
picture. ‘

“This is a fact-finding evening,”
Gerrand said. “It’s not a time

decision that’s been made because no
decision has been made.”
