Travel Counselling Course
Is Offered Here This Week

The Kootenay Boundary
Visitors’ Association has an-
nounced the name of the in-
structor for the five-day coun-
selling techniques course which
began yesterday and will con-
tinue through Sunday at Sel-
kirk College.

Richard Lemon, manager
of Tourism B.C.'s Vancouver
_ office, will be teaching the
course, which is designed to
: provide basic travel counselling
skills to persons currently
employed or planning to be em-
: ployed in “front-end” jobs in the
. visitor industry.

Persons taking the Castle-
* gar course should find Lemon's
‘comments particularly rele-
: vant, as he has been employed
with Tourism B.C. since 1972.
He is a graduate in Canadian

persons directly responsible in
originating the travel coun-
sellors’ course. He calls it “my

The course is over 50 per
cent practical content, There is
actual role-playing of coun-

tee dele reas ge

course”, and has pi dit in
several communities including
Vancouver, Dawson Creek and
Salmon Arm,

“It has been very success:
ful,” he states, “and turns out
the kind of people most regions,
municipalities and employers
would be proud of.”

Says Doctor

The high number of laxa-
tives on drug store shelves

: British Columbia. As a student,
the was employed as a part-
> time travel counsellor.
. In addition to his direct
: knowledge of travel counselling
+ problems and solutions, Lemon
thas travelled extensively
: throughout B.C. and is familiar
; with Kootenay country, its
* beautiful small cities and
‘towns, and .Kokanee Park at
which he has camped.
Lemon was also one of the

with
bowell function,” says Dr.
Douglas Kinnear of Montreal.

Kinnear, a specialist at
Montreal General Hospital, said
it is hogwash to think a person
is not healthy unless he has a
bowel movement once a day.

He told the annual meeting
of the Ontario chapter of the
College of Family Physicians of
Canada that if laxatives were
only obtainable by prescription,
it would solve a lot of irritable
colon problems.

s These
are attended by an observer
from the group, and the process
is evaluated to determine if the
technique is suitable. Practical
exercises like these can make
“an amazing transformation”
says Lemon.

The cost of the travel
counselling techniques course is
$10 per person, including all
instructional material and is
sponsored jointly by Selkirk
College, Tourism B.C. and the
Kootenay Boundary Visitors’
Association.

All persons who success-
fully complete the course will
receive a certificate showing
that they have mastered the

basie skills of travel coun-*

selling.

The Castlegar course will
provide an excellent back-
ground to anyone who is in-
terested in the travel industry
and the bright future it has in
British Columbia. -

course can be obtained by con-

Voice of the People

Which Road to Take?

Editor, Castlegar News:

Tam much concerned over
the so-called conservation min-
istry. As their objective is to
save animals from extinction
we'd all probably like to see
something done,

Recently I welcomed a
small homeless animal into my
home for the night, Regardless
of noise and mess that he made,
1 was gentle and fed and cared
for him to the best of my
ability.

Not knowing what to do
with him or whom to call, we
kept him with us the following
day. That evening I took him
back to the people who had
brought him to me late the
night before.

As we were discussing our.
new little friends future, up to
the door came the conservation
officers. Some person had ‘re-
ported to them that I had a wild
creature in my care. So they
came to lay claim to him.

When we turned him over,

they put him in their truck and
told us he'd be sent to a good
home.
. Everything fine? No way.
They then asked for informa-
tion which was given willingly.
We were then told to expect a
fine for keeping the little guy
safe.

Where in our synopsis does
it give us a place to call or a
number in case we happen to
find a lost animal? It is not
anywhere.

So as a result of being a
good citizen and doing my part
for the conservation of our
wildlife I'm out the cost of the
fine ($100), the food the critter
ate (I don't mind that part at
all) and a night's sleep.

How do we know when to
try and help wildlife along or
when to just leave it to die?

1 could never understand
people with the attitude “I
don't want to get involved.”
Now I know where they get it
from. Anyone who tries to help
in anyway gets a kick in the
teeth.

As for conservation, where
is it when winter's starving
animals are like skeletons? Who
does the feeding of these
animals?

The small farmer, that's
who. My parents spent approxi-
mately $200 this winter on the
feeding of 17 whitetail deer.
There were no other whitetail
to be seen other than those 17
that ate in the driveway here
and next door.

There are only those 17
deer left in the whole Slocan
Valley and we fed them, not
the Conservation Officers. In
fact, they never showed them-
selves up in this way at all.

But did we send them a bill
for the food and time con-
tributed towards saving these
deer? No, we did it for the
enjoyment of being able to see

Grand Forks
Council Okays
New Agreement

Grand Forks council has
accepted a
agreement with its unionized
employees which provides for
wage increases of just under six
per cent, retroactive to March
1, 1978, and a number of other
improvements in working con-
ditions.

The pact provides for a
double-time rate of pay for all
overtime worked by the em-
ployees; it will enable the inside
workers to reach full salary in
one year, a shorter period than
was provided for. in the old
contract; and provide for short-
er qualifying periods for holi-
days.

The city is reserving the
right to sub-contract work, but.
only if this would not result in
the lay-off of permanent em-
ployees.

The new arrangement will
not take effect until signed by a
representative of CUPE, which
is still the legal bargaining
representative of the emjloy-
ees even though the actual
negotiations took place be-
tween city represenatives and
representatives of Kootenay
Service Workers Association.

The association recently
failed in its bid to replace
CUPE as the certified repre-
sentative of the workers.

and save B.C.'s wildlife. Also,
we'd like our grandchildren to
know what it’s like to see and
save the wildlife. Why wait
until extinction to think of
saving them?

As for the little baby we
had for the night, although not
near extinction.yet, in his new
home he will be enjoyed by
many from all over the country.
Whereas, left in the bush to die,
only predatory animals would
have enjoyed his carcass.

Which road are we to take?
Right or wrong? By the way,

what is right and what is
wrong? How is a person to
know in this country anymore?

As for the person who
reported us thinking we were
doing something illegal, stop
and think about what you
would have done? Saved it or
left it.to die?

For that matter, if you had
the information as to who to
call, why didn't you do your
part for conservation and let us

. know who to call earlier?
