Page 4A The Castlegar Sun Wednesday, March 11, 1992 Castlegar traffic to finally see the lights JM ZEEREN Sun staff Castlegar motorists will get some relief from uraffic when a new set of signal-lights go up at 10 St and Columbia next month The new traffic lights were delayed about a month while the city worked out some tech- bacon & served with homemade fries.

The problem con tered around making the lights audio-sensitive, responding to the sirens of emergency vehi cles “When an ambulance was approaching, the lights would react to its audible sound,” explained Castlegar's superin- tendent of Public Wor! Barry Comin. “That way the ambu- lance would receive a green light.” The lights would be on Columbia Ave. and 10 St. The hospital is located on 10 St., and there was concern about Silver Rattle Antiques 301-11 Ave. Castlegar. (in Tulips Building) 365-5191 ambulances making emergency left-turns on to Columbia According to Comin, the cost of the audio-sensitive controller was less than $1,000. “We thought it was pretty important so we held off for a while,” Comin said. “It proba- bly delayed us by about a month.” All underground work is done and the cify is putting in the remaining lampbases Comin estimates motorists will be using the lights in four weeks. The 10 St. lights will help control traffic by creating spaces during heavy traffic flows. Cars will move in bunch- es rather than a steady stream, making it easier for cars to get on to, and off of, the main strip. “The lights will act some- thing like the ones on 17 St.,” Comin said. “When the light is activated it will give carson side streets a chance to get on to Columbia.” eee yin the next federal election nating Meeti Revelstoke a: The Kootenay West Revelstoke Consttuency Association of the Reform Party of Canada is seeking potential candidates td represent the Par- e successful candidate must be trustworthy, Reform-oriented, able and electable, and must secure a majority of votes cast at the Party Nomi- scheduled for Sept. 12, 1992 in Sept. 13, 1992 in Castlegar.

The seller is offering it in “as is” condition and is unwilling to make any repairs before settlement. These situations can create terrific opportunities as long as you get the information you need to make an informed choice about the purchase. How much is “a little” elbow grease? A professional structural inspec- tor can help you determine exactly what you are getting into. Also, make sure you and the sellers are clear about “as is” as of what date. If the house should exp any between contract acceptance and settlement, who pays to correct them? What types of mortgage funds are available? Some lenders have minimum habitability Standards that might work for a house that needs some work, but for a major overhaul, you may need special financing for both acquiring the house and doing the improvements. Renovating an older home can be a terrific chance to acquire a wonderful home you couldn't otherwise afford, but there is work involved!
