HOME: 365-3407 OFFICE: 365-2111 Hospital lists projects By CasNews Staff Castlegar and District Hospital has proposed a number of minor capital improvements for 1966-87 totalling more than $400,000. ‘The list of 15 projects has been submitted to the provincial govern- ment for approval. The list was also forwarded to the Central Kootenay Regional Hospital District for infor- mation. Area K (rural Nakusp) director Bill Cuthill, who is also administrator for the Arrow Lakes Hospital in Nakusp, told the regional hospital board the projects are more like a “wish list.” The hospital submits a list of minor SMOKING continued trom front poge Ald. Terry Rogers, a member of the Health and Welfare Committee, agreed. “The writing is on the wall... I wouldn't mind some more informa. tion,” Rogers said. But Ogiow said it wasn't his inten- tion to “forget the matter.” “Sooner or later we will bring it back for discussion,” he said, though he a'd-.t say when. Ald. Bob Pakula said he too feels council should not try to force a clean air bylaw on the community, but rather “encourage non-smoking. Oglow said in an interview after the meeting his committee did not formally meet to discuss the bylaw. He said he discussed the issue with one member of the committee, but couldn't contact the third committee member. projects it would like to undertake in the coming year, Cuthill said. The provincial government then puts the list in order of priorities and either approves or rejects the projects. Projects approved by Victoria are funded 60 per cent by the province. $90,000 is needed to complete the work. Other proposed projects include: © $80,000 for renovations to the kitehen; @ $60,000 to replace the incinerator, which is 17 years old and does not ‘The hospital must pay the 40 per cent, either from its own sources or by applying to the regional hospital board for funding. Topping the list of Castlegar hospital projects is completion of renovations to the floor. The province approved $160,000 for a new floor last year, but the bid came in at $242,852. The hospital says an additional BYLAW — Castlegar chapter of the Registered Nurses’ Association of B.C. In a letter to council, chapter pres ident Bev Onischak said, “Second-hand smoke is a health hazard and a source of discomfort for many non-smokers.” Onischak added: “As professionals with a responsibility for health care, registered nurses recognize that smo- king is one of the leading causes of preventable illness and death in Canada today.” She said smoking also results in lower productivity in Canadian busi- nesses through absenteeism and on- the-job accidents. “Even non-smokers are affected by discomfort and illness caused by second-hand smoke,” she said. Onischak also included a copy of a clean air bylaw adopted by Maple Ridge council in 1984. it p control req © $49,500 for a heliport.

And although the budget is not on FAILED CO-OP'S MEMBERS MUST CLAIM INTEREST VANCOUVER (CP) — Members of the troubled Teachers Investment Housing Co-operative have been told they must declare the interest income from their frozen deposits on their 1985 tax returns. Lillian Holeton, president of the Retired Teachers As sociation, said Tuesday she has been deluged with calls from people who are receiv ing T5 slips listing their total interest income from the co-op. “Everyone that has invest ed in the co-op is affected,” she said. “| would suspect that a lot of the older people calling are the type that always pay their debts, when they have they money to pay. But many just can't pay because they've used the co-op as & bank and all their money is tied up in it.” Sue Bernanose, public af: fairs officer with Revenue Canada, confirmed the inter est income is taxable. “We've been to head office on that issue and it is def. initely taxable and has to be included in a person's income. If at a later date, a set tlement of some sort is reached by the co-op and its members, and they don't re- ceive all of that money, we would look at a tax treatment or refund for everyone in volved,” she said. The co-op went into re- ceivership Nov. 4 and was declared technically insol- vent. Unsecured deposits of $268 million at the 45,000 member co-op were frozen when directors filed a holding proposal in B.C Supreme Court. Under the holding proposal, members, including active and retired teachers, are allowed to withdraw one half of one per cent of their total deposits a month. Martin Linsley of Coopers and Lybrand Ltd. has acted as interim receiver, assisting the co-op's board of directors with a restructuring plan. Members should receive the restructuring proposal by mid-April. A group of retired teachers plans to lobby the provincial government to guarantee the $65-million shortfall — the difference between the book value and the market value of the co-op's assets. COURT ACTION $ FORMER MARLANE Hotel owner Jim Marshall is in the news. Marshall is managing the Hard Times Pub at the Marr Hotel, 403 Powell in Vancouver. He first made the news when he started serving free lunches to his customers. But a problem arose when the city health department apparently indicated it requires a pub employee to serve the food. But it was all a misunderstanding as & result of Marshall hearing of the health department requirements second hand through one of his employees. In fact, the health department requires that either the food be protected by a sneeze guard or that an employee serve it. Marshall said he will be getting the sneeze guard. Marshall's low-income customers were serving themselves to the free stew, chili or borsch cooked by his wife, and Marshall said he could not afford the extra staff to serve them. SPEAKING OF The Mariane, the Chuckwagon Cafe plans to re-open Monday under Marlane owner John Kemle. ALD. NICK Oglow revealed some interesting figures during discussion Tuesday night of « proposed clean air bylaw. Ogiow pointed out that only two of the 13 trustees and senior staff on the Castlegar and District Hospital board are smokers, while only one of the 10 trustees and senior staff on the Castlegar school board smoke. But five of the 10 Castlegar council members and senior staff smoke, “which is not a very impressive ratio,” Ogiow said. . CAMPGROUND fees in most provincial parks won't inerease this year. Lands, Parks and Housing Minister Jack Kempf said this week rates will only change in a few parks where the quality of service — such as the addition of showers — warrants it. REMEMBER Babs Chula?

CENTRAL KOOTENAY COMMUNITY ADJUSTMENT COMMITTEE M.L.L.A.P. LABOUR ADJUSTMENT BENEFITS PROGRAM The Regional District of Central Kootenay has been designated as an area for Labour Adjust- ment Benefits for qualified permanently laid off employees of logging, sawmill, planning mill, shingle mill, veneer and plywood mill industries TO QUALIFY, YOU MUST: a) be at least 54 years of age and not more than 65 yéors of age; b) be a Canadia citizen or permanent resident; c) have been employed in the industry for ot least 10 of the preceding 15 yeors and have been paid for at least 1000 hours of em- ployment in each of those years; d) have claimed and exhausted all unem- ployment insurance benefits relating to the certified lay-off; and continued from front page “We don’t get the money,” he said. But Cady said that the extra tax revenue could be used locally. For instance, the regional hospital taxes would increase by $500,000 a year, which could be used to improve health care in the Central Kootenay, Cady said. He also said the average homeowner would benefit. Cady pointed to his own taxes on his Lardeau home. He pays about $28 a year in hospital taxes, he said. If Hydro was required to pay taxes on its dams in the Central Kootenay, Cady’s hospital taxes would drop to $17 But the court challenge won't be cheap. Legal expenses are expected to cost $200,000, though Cady said McDannold told the board the costs could be “considerably less than that.” In a 1984 brief to the regional board, the Victoria law firm said the cost depends on how direct a route to the Supreme Court of Canada the case is able to follow. Normally, a case like this starts in the B.C. Supreme Court, and is appealed to the B.C. Court of Appeal, before finally going to the Supreme Court of Canada, said the law firm. “Sometimes we are able to appeal directly from the Supreme Court of the province to the Supreme Court of Canada. This would, of course, cut down on the legal costs,” says the law firm. On the other hand the law firm warns, “There are various skirmishes that could increase the cost, and of course, there is always the unexpected.” The firm recommends the regional district set aside $75,000 a year over the next three years to cover legal costs. Cady said the regional district has earmarked $75,000 in this year's provisional budget for the court costs. Still, the law firm also points out in its 1984 brief that the cost of bringing the issue to the Supreme Court of Canada is worth it “in light of the millions of dollars the hospital district has been and will continue to lose as a result of that tax exemption.” Cady says he will seek moral and financial help from other regional districts affected by Hydro's tax exempt status. He has already discussed the issue with the Kootenay Boundary Regional District, which referred it to its planning committee. As well, Cady and regional district administrator Reid Henderson will meet with Municipal Affairs Minister Bill Ritchie and Energy Minister Tony Brummet March 27 to ask that Hydro either provide proper grants in aid or that Victoria remove the order-in-council. Cady said a similar appeal was made during a meeting with Finance Minister Hugh Curtis last December. McDannold recommends the regional district proceed with the court case, pointing out “this should not prevent you from negotiating the matter further with Hydro or the provincial government.” SHSS OPEN HOUSE The staff of Stanley Humphries welcomes Parents and Members of the Public to our School Tuesday, March 18, 1986 7:00 p.m. ACTIVITIES SCIENCE — Two demonstrations to include istry — Preparation of ration of gravity.

Nelson man VANCOUVER (CP) — A Nelson man has been awarded the St. John’s Ambulance meritorious certificate with a gold pin for helping to remove a man from a burning car, and trying to free a girl from the wreckage. Allan Schmidt, 48, received the certificate and pin along with Gordon McRae, 23, of Burnaby and Vancouver police Sgt. Grant Driver, 41, for helping after the July 12 car crash on Highway 3 near Salmo. Andrew Konkin, 38, and his daughter Stacey, 11, and Robert Ar bault, 25, all of Cranbrook, died as the result of the two-car crash. Emma Kandt, 75, of Wynndel, suffered neck injuries while her husband Leopold, 75, suffered a broken nose. HEADING HOME Driver said he was on his way home to Surrey from Medicine Hat, Alta., with his wife when he saw “a cloud of dust rising” from the accident about 400 metres ahead of him. He said Archambault had already been removed from Konkin's car by the time he had stopped his motorcycle and run to the driver's side. A fire had started under the hood and around the passenger side front wheel by the time Schmidt and MacRae were able to get Konkin out of the car. Driver said he tried to fight the spreading blaze with two hand-held fire extinguishers, but stopped when he realized it was futile. gets award He said the girl's head and shoulders were sticking out the back window, but she was wedged in the wreckage. He said he could find no pulse. The fire rapidly spread “and I was worried about it blowing up and the safety of the two citizens helping.” Driver said the fire destroyed the car. He said he and several others cared for Konkin until an ambulance took him away. Konkin died later in hospital. Driver said MacRae and Schmidt “were just excellent when nobody else standing around would lend a hand.” MacRae is graduating this year in industrial education at the University of B.C. Schmidt, a father of three, works as a mechanic. Driver, who has been a policeman for 18 years, has been injured on the job five times: e September 1981, minor injuries when his patrol vehicle hit head-on by a stolen vehicle; ‘e April 1981, struck by a knife-wielding woman and required weight stitches above his right eye; e October 1980, shot in the right forearm by a sniper in the West End; May 1979, treated for hypothermia after diving into English Bay to rescue a woman who tried to commit suicide; ‘ March 1979, suffered whiplash after his police car breadsided by a stolen van FROM KOOTENAY SAVINGS Changes and amendments to the tax Laws fill a hooklet 50 pages long for the last year alone And keeping up with such changes ts only one of the many possible complications in preparing your mcome tax retum You may have always done your own retums But con sider that there may well fe deductions or options yu weren't aware of You may not have recewedasmuch myuwee Lee entitled to in the past A\c part of the Personal Financial Planning pr gram, Kootenay Saving Snow pleased toofter a very appealing oprion: a Protest ration Service nal Tax Prepa v pert from the chartered anting firm of efficrent turn return.
