CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, October 19, 1978 “Wed in Red and White Setting At an altar setting of red tapers and baskets of red and white gladioli, Father Desmond Carroll heard the exchange of marriage vows between Lynne Elizabeth Sanford and Donald Wayne Bollinger, on Aug. 12 at Robson Community Memorial Church, The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Sanford of Robson and the groom is the son of Mrs. F, Bollinger of Medicine Hat, Alta. The bride entered the church to the strains of the “Wedding Song.” and was given in marriage by her father. Her gown, which she had made herself, was of white polyester embossed with small roses, styled with shortsleeves, scoop neckline and a frill at the hemline. A headdress of small red roses secured her chapel- length veil of nylon net edged with lace, and she carried a single long-stemmed red rose. Her jewelry consisted of the groom's gift of a diamond pendant and a gold ring which had belonged to her great- great -great-great-grandmoth- er. The bride's sister, Mrs. Dawne Parslow of Dawson Creek, was matron of honor and bridesmaid was Mrs. Jennifer Todd of L Alta, Both home, where the bride's mother recelved guests wearing a sleeveless floral gown in apricot tones, overlayed with chiffon.

Iced in traditional white and decorated with red roses, the tiers of the cake were separated by small wine glasses containing floral sprigs and the top tier held a crystal vase holding a white and red rose, The cake had been made by the bride's mother and decorated by Mrs. Wm. Saliken of Robson. A lace tablecloth and a bouquet of roses decorated the buffet table.

Plans of Sweet Dreams May Turn Nightmarish Each night, millions of Canadians reach for their sleep- ing pills and hope for sweet dreams—but all many get are nightmares, The reality is that sleeping pills are more likely to bring insomnia, bad dreams, restless- ness—even broken bones. Study after study con- demns the pills as roadblocks rather than passports to deep sleep. = Their use “does not get the patient to sleep any faster, but rather increases nightly awak- enings, abolishes deep sleep, and continues to affect sleep patterns for five weeks after drug withdrawal,” a medical expert says. A university study com- pared the sleeping patterns of 10 insomniacs who were ve- teran sleeping pill users to insomniacs who did not take the pills. “A striking finding was the fact that all of these patients had as great or greater difficulty in falling or staying asleep, or both, than the in- somniacs who were not using medication,” says the study. The researchers also found that when the insomniac pill- takers stopped swallowing their magic pellets their prob- lems continued. My Blue Heaven For Veteran Hoofer-Singer Dan Dailey, the lanky song-and-dance man of Mother Wore Tights, My Blue Heaven and other movie musicals of the 1940s and 1950s, died Monday of anemia. He was 62. Their dreams were more frequent, intense and often nightmarish. They also suffered from severe insomnia. | don't know how to say It, but somehow it seems to me That maybe we are stationed where God wants us to be; That the little place I’m filling is the reason for my birth, And just to do the work | do, He sent me down to earth. \f God had wanted otherwise, | reckon He'd have made Me Just a little different, of a worse or better grade; And since God knows and understands all things of land and sea, | fancy that He placed me here, just where He wanted me, Sometimes | get to thinking, as my labors | review, That | should like a higher place with greater things to do; But | come to the conclusion, when the envying Is stilled, That the post to which God sent me is the post He wanted illed, So, | plod along and struggle in the hope, when day is through, That I'm really necessary to the things God wants to do; And there Isn't any service | can give, which | should scorn, For it may be just the reason God allowed that | be born. —Author Unknown. /. Voice of the People B.C. Wine: Drink Up or Shut Up Editor, Castlegar News: Ref; Editoria]—Sour (B.C.) Grapes, issue of Oct. 12 Tread your editorial with great interest, as I have just completed filming a 90-minute television documentary on the B.C. Wine Industry, in the Okanagan. In regards to the cottage wine industry and the imposi- tion of barriers to imported grapes, you are off-base. At this time, one vineyard has received its licence to produce wine under its own label, using his own grapes and/or those local grapes of the same variety. These wines will be made on the same system as the Chateux vineyards so well known in France. These wines will be avail- able for sale directly off the premises, along with a tasting room for those customers who wish to sample their prospec- tive purchases, The larger wine companies also have this wine shop and it has proved very successful this first year of opening. 9 The grapes used in these: cottage wineries will be of a specific variety and vintage and will NOT be blended. They are European in origin and are of equivalent quality to the finest grapes used in France and Ger- many. ‘These cottage wineries will not pose any threat to the larger wineries because their volume will be of too small a scale in comparison. They will help in providing a high stan- dard for the larger wineries to maintain. In terms of research and use of quality grapes by the wineries, the writer is out-of- date. The vineyards that we have toured round and who have picking contracts with the larger wineries, have already installed small acreages of the very grapes that are presently grown in Washington State, excepting Californian Zinfan- del, which is not high enough in quality for B.C, wines, These grapes are grown in a joint program with the Federal Research Station in Summerland, which does all the research into varieties -and wine production techniques for the industry. This continuing research is helping the wine industry to constantly improve ° the quality of grapes and wine to be equal, or be superior to, the European counterparts. There is also cross-research with the University of Geisen- heim in Germany, where wine research is carried out. The only area where sup- port is woefully lacking is in the provision of start-up funds to help vineyard owners to set up new vines and cover the costs for the time that they are growing (three to four years) to full commercial production, This funding is available to the fruit pickers, so why not the vineyards, who provide a very lucrative form of tax revenue. I sincerely hope that both Hon. Jim Hewitt and Rafe Mair will get together on this and correct. this situation in the near future. B.C. wines have been stuck with the “Barnyard” label for these last years and it still has a bad effect on sales in certain quarters; namely, the hotel trade. The minister, Hon. Rafe Mair, could do the greatest service to the wine industry by having these fermented con- coctions as Baby Duck ete. delisted and taken off the liquor store shelves, to make way for the REAL B.C. wines. One of the wine companies has seriously considered chang- ing its labels to read British Columbia Wine, instead of Canadian Wine, because of this surprised with the superb problem with tho crackling quality of B.C. wines. There- wines coming in from Ontarlo, _ fore—either drink up or shut giving Canadian Wines a bad up! name, In conclusion, I would seriously advise anyone to take a few days’ holiday in the Okanagan and visit the wine stores and tour round the wineries, To the press, I'would make this an order—they have a very bad habit of bad- mouthing Canadian goods and services from their comfortable chairs, without getting out to doa proper job of investigating reporting.

The $4.2 million total in- crease in grants-in-lieu for municipalities, announced Fri- day by Finance Minister Evan Wolfe and Alex Fraser, high- ways and public works minis- ter, includes a 119.7 per cent hike from the $1,710.63 Castle- gar received in 1977. The increase to a total $7,344,656 paid by the province Tesults from changes made in the formula used to deter- mine grants-in-lieu under the Municipalities Aid Act and the decision of the B.C. Buildings Corporation to pay grants on their properties on the same basis. Under the government's new policy the province and the corporation pay grants equiva- lent to full municipal and re- gional district levies on all qualifying properties which they own. They now use the same standard of assessment as that applied by the municipality in assessing other commercial and business property. Municipalities should anti- cipate separate payments from the province and the corpora- tion when properties owned by each are located in the same municipality. Enhancement Goal Of Fishery Study . . Enhancement of Kokanee ‘salmon and Rainbow trout in the lower Arrow Lakes system is the objective of the B.C.

Fowler ‘said last Tuesday. ‘Fowler, protective ser- vices committee chairman, told city council CanCel had re- ceived a Scot Air Pac which will soon be made available to the fire department as a token of appreciation for the city's assis- tance in fighting the June 17 blaze which caused more than $6 million damage at CanCel’s sawmill operation here. volves enumerating the Koka- nee in selected tributaries in the area, but the principal objective is to’ provide ‘them™ with access to the Inanoaklin River. “This latter objective has proven to be difficult,” the report said. “However, the work in 1978 is expected to provide the necessary answers * by removing a portion of the upper barrier to fish movement. and by finalizing the design of the proposed fishway.” Rainbow will require en- hancement of suitable tribu- taries, the report said, and stream surveys were conducted in 1978 on Mosquito, Burton and Deer Creeks for this pur- pose. The objectives were to determine trout use, whether it was possible to enhance them, and to tag the trout, Ferguson said in the report. Also included in the study was a creel census which in- volved measuring present ex- ploitation of the species and fishing success, recovering tag- ged fish and information, and comparing results with those of previous surveys and fishing in the lake. a Today, Thursday, October 19 Is _ INTERNATIONAL CREDIT UNION: DAY - Join Our Staff for Coffee at Our Castlegar and South Slocan Branches. Second Arterial Access Recommended Kraus noted Columbia Avenue is the only arterial street connecting North and South Castlegar and that in the event of a major disaster such as a poison gas spill at CanCel's ‘local operations “it would pose an almost impossible task to evacuate persons from the area, notwithstanding the availability of medical facilities at arm's reach,” He suggested other existing roads be linked to form a secondary arterial link. Discussing the interchange, Kraus said in the report he found it “very confusing to the public and at best, a very poor device for the movement of vehicles.” He said vehicles approaching Castlegar from the west are forced to descend a long hill and stop before trying to make a left-hand turn into Castlegar's business area. “I expect increased traffic flow through this area with the opening of the Castlegar-Salmo highway,” the report said. “And the additional traffic load will only serve to increase an already- frustrating situation.” detach said he could foresee vehicles a y UNITED WAY barometer went up Friday with the help of two CanCe! employees Nick Shelfontiuk and Gary Konkin. .

The Kraus report said construction of either an overhead or underground walkway should be considered to protect numerous children crossing Highway 3 from Crestview subdivision to attend Kinnaird Elementary School. “Again, this is an area where a runaway vehicle is a very real possibility and an accident here would be too terrible to-imagine,” the report said, Kraus said in the report his findings would be forwarded to the Rossland highways district as well as to the city. Discussing the report last Tuesday, city council supported a works and services committee recommendation to tell Kraus the city is presently investigating traffic conditions and will keep him informed on its findings. Grant Sought for 50 Acres of Flood Plain Land Invited to View Proposed Park The city will invite a rec- reation and conservation minis- try official to examine the approximately 50 acres of flood plain lands along the Columbia River for which it has sought provincial park status, Cash Settlement To Finance City council voted last Tuesday to tell the ministry it would “gratefully accept” any assistance in designating park Purposes to the land from the Inland Natural Gas pipeline to Zuckerburg’s Island and to ask G.
