Silverton Mayor Ran Harding, a former Kaslo-Slocan MLA and Kootenay-West MP, reminisced about the old days and recalled Alberta tourists parking their cars and refusing to move. Local residents would then get behind the wheels of the parked cars “tand drive them down the road a few hundred yards."” New Denver Mayor Gary acknowledged there is ‘some truth’’ to the fact the road was improved to facilitate chip hauling to Celgar, but he said people who work in the area and tourists will benefit, while am- bulance service to Trail is now faster and safer. “It’s a good road for all of us,”’ he said Nakusp Mayor Rosemarie Openings Johnson said she passed four other, smaller road improvement projects underway on Highway 6 between Nakusp and the Cape Horn ribbon cutting site and said visitors to the valley can ‘enjoy scenery second to none in the world."’ Highways Minister Johnston presented area mayors with special inscribed wall plaques for their village offices displaying pieces of road blasted at the site. Dirks presented Johnston and the mayors of Slocan, Silverton and New Denver with large framed historical photos shoWing construction work being done on the highway when it was first built in 1928. Johnston also handed out pieces of the special opening rib- bon to children and -adults as keepsakes of the occasion. By CasNews Staff The Castlegar Chamber of Com- merce is planning a large-scale tourist attraction for the Castlegar area that would give an overview of the past and present role of the Columbia River in shaping the lives along its banks.

The letter has been sent to all government agencies, corporations, companies and local groups and organizations that may want to be part of such a project. The response so far has been positive, said Luella Andreashuk, chairman of the development committee. The committee hasn’t heard from The ittee is also considering seeking involvement from the American and Canadian governmen- ts, since the Columbia is an inter- president Jim Craig said the centre might be on the scale of the dinosaur museum in Drumheller, Alta. The project is only in the preliminary planning stages right now but the committee should know the direction its plans will take by November, Andreashuk said. The committee will seek funding for the centre from any government agency, company or private organization that wants to become in- volved, she said. national waterway, A k ad- ded As the committee envisions it, the centre would provide a comprehen- sive look of the river basin in the East and West Kooienay, from the Revelstoke-Golden area in the north, to Fernie in the east and down to Montana in the south. The centre would “probably be unlike anything that is established (in the area) now,”? Andreashuk said, comparing the project to the variety of displays at Expo 86. Chamber Arbitration word By CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Staff Writer Celgar Pulp Co. and the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada are waiting for a decision from ar- bitrator John Kinzie following the conclusion last week of. hearings con- cerning a walkout at the pulp mill more than two years ago. Kinzie must determine what finan. cial damage, if any, Celgar incurred during a three-day walkout by union members in September 1988. Celgar originally claimed the com- pany lost more than $600,000 during the work stoppage that was sparked by a dispute over seniority of truckers at the mill. However, the company has agreed to accept the union accountant’s figures for the damages if the ar- bitrator determines Celgar lost money, PPWC Local 1 told the Castlegar News. The company also wants Kinzie to award interest on the amount but the union is opposed to that, Espenhain said. As well, the union told the ar- bitrator itis not willing to pay the company any costs by having its members work on holidays and the union wants any award to be a cash settlement, Espenhain said. Kinzie will have to make his ruling alone, since the other two members of the arbitration panel — union national president Bob Henderson and businessman Ken Halliday, who was chosen to represent the company — have resigned from the panel Henderson resigned in September after taking a job in management at a Princé George pulp mill and Halliday then quit to ensure balance during the hain said Mike Espenhain said. The company agreed to a figure of $550,000 “‘if the measure is lost profits,’ or $160,000 ‘‘if the-measure is just fixed costs to the company’’ such as maintenance costs while the pulp mill was shut down, Espenhain Following hearings last spring, the three-member panel ruled that the union was completely to blame for the walkout in 1988 The union had asked the panel to rule that if any damages were to be assessed, the blame for the walkout The c was i by the chamber about three years ago to determine what impact planned development on the river — such as the addition of generators to the Keenleyside dam and the proposed Murphy Creek dam project — will have on the city, Craig said. The committee’s task has been to determine what strategy would be needed to ensure the community is ready for the changes that will come with such’ development and the inter- pretive centre is an offshoot of those discussions, he said. awaited would be apportioned equally bet- ween the company and the union. During the hearings, the union ad- mitted to breaching the collective agreement that stated there would be no strikes, walkouts or other work in- terruptions during the period of the agreement. The union said Celgar dis not suffer financial loss during the three-day work stoppage becaue the mill was shut down for routine maintenance. Espenhain said this week the dispute has put the union in a difficult Position since it is arguing with the company over the 1988 walkout while supporting the company’s request for government approval to modernize and expand the pulp mill. Celgar’s industrial relation’s manager Ron Belton said the com- pany expects a decision from Kinzie “shortly."’ Espenhain said he could not say how long the arbitrator may take to reach a decision, although he noted the ruling by the pane! took several months. Belton said Celgar officials will comment on the arbitration after Kin- zie’s decision is handed down. Blockades continued from front page disputes, she said The main goal of an IWMP is to ensure that water STREET TALK HEARTLEAF, Slocan Valley's own mail order catalogue, is back with a bigger edition. Heartleaf Books mailed its first slender catalogue from Slocan Park just four months ago. “We've been overwhelmed by the response and it’s encouraged us to expand,"’ Heartleaf owner Stephanie Judy says in a news release. ‘1 think we've touched something that’s important to people.” Aimed at beginners, amateurs and newcomers to art, the current catalogue includes entire sections on , singing and music-making, visual arts, crafts, dance and clowning, drama and puppetry, storytelling and writing. “We're always looking for new books and ideas to help people of any age get in touch with their creative energy,” says Judy, 44, a writer and mother By design, nearly all the items sold by Heartleaf are suitable for use at home and with a family “I've always believed that home is where the art is,”’ Judy says KIMBERLEY’S LOSS is Castlegar’s gain as Rick Grant has arrived in town and will lead North Castlegar Boy Scouts’ youngest program, Beavers, which has struggled for years because of a lack of ex- perienced leaders.

Moore said she also expects to con- tinue devoting her energies to city business, noting the recent changes to senior administrative staff at city hall, a comprehensive development plan which is in the works for the city and “the tremendous pressure of development proposals.”’ “My energies have been pretty well focused for the past three months. That doesn’t seem to be slowing down.” Asked if she will seek another term as mayor, Moore said: “You know as well as I do that the “nomination (deadline) is Oct. 29. We'll see."” Pressed for a definitive answer, the mayor said ‘‘sometimes it’s im- possible to give a straight answer.” “I've got to do some very serious thinking about whether I’m going to stand (for election) in the city. is Anytime 2816 Columbia Ave. * 365-5304 s -~A\ME The Slocan Valley Watershed Alliance asked the om- budsman to get involved again and the people in the Hasty Creek area threw their support behind the water- shed alliance, Rutkowsky said. ‘Owen-was-in-the-valley-and-saw-Hasty-Creek-in August 1989, watershed alliance spokesman Sue Ham- mond said.

B.C.'s population increasing and aging VANCOUVER (CP) — British Columbia’s population is growing faster than other provinces and at a rate nearly double the national average, says a provincial government study. It is also getting older and the province faces ‘‘nothing less than a social revolution’’ when post-war baby boomers start reaching age 65 in about 20 years, the statistics branch says in a study It forecasts the provincial population will rise to 4.7 million in 25 years from its current 3.1 million The current growth rate is 2.6 per cent a year, compared with 1.4 per cent nationally. People moving from other provin- ces will make up two-fifths of the population gain, the study says. One- third will come from other countries and the remainder from births. By 2016, British Columbia will have 14.4 per cent of the Canadian population, compared with 11.8 per cent now, the study says. At the same time, B.C.’s population will get older. The median age will rise to 41.2 years from the present 34.2 Those aged 65 and older will make 2016, compared with 13.1 per cent now. “In the 15-20 years following that date, the numbers of seniors will cause nothing less than a social revolution,” the study says. The study also says the proportion of women among seniors is increasing and that they are more likely to be living alone. the 3rd Annual Toy Runa success Columbia Auto BigO Tire Madelines Plaza Dry Cleaners Hooter's Gym Central Foods Benissimo Ltd Carl's Drugs Mohawk Adco Floors Corral Glass & Trim Downtown Shell Columbia Saw & Service Chicken Time Dairy Queen (Castlegar) Anthony's Pizza & Steal House Cohoe Insurance Turbo J&J Services Bonnett's Mens Weor Mitchell Supply Pizza Trowelex Dave Bradiey Mr. Tire Kat's Trophy Pete's T.V Tulips Avenues Homestead Soup & Sandwich Shop Scotties Marina Twin Rivers Motel Scotsman Greek Oven Von's T-Shirt THANK YOU!
