the handle of the rock is turned

hockey enthusiasts complain of a
shortage of ice and one wonders
if the future holds the solution.
We read much of late about the
proposed sewerage lagoon, it has
been referred to as a placid little
lake in a park-like setting attract-

imagine flies being attracted to
this honey pond) as well as carry-

it is intended.

Nothing has been written about
the winter possibilities of this lake
and we wonder if frozen, would it
be suitable for use as an outdoor
rink, If such were possible would
it come under the jurisdiction of
the Project Society or would this
be a Village of: Castlegar respon-
sibility?

use of available ice for a longer

of these will be either Rosted 0 or

of interest to watch or listen to.
