Depuly Highways minister Bob Harvey said last Wednes- day that completion of the road east of the Seven Mile Dam is only being considered. The sec- tion cast of. the dam to the: Waneta crossing is being re- built by B.C. Hydro. “The highways: depart- ment is surveying a connection between Waneta and the dam, and is looking at a further connection to. Nelway,” the deputy minister said. + “It is being surveyed. It has to be looked at, there is no doubt about that,” he said. “But our first priority is to complete the link from Castlegar’ to ‘Salmo, Then to complete Hwy 3” The Hwy 8 work men- tioned by Harvey is improve- ment to four-lane standard of the roads between Trail and Waneta and east to Montrose’. and Fruitvale. .

To Launch Campaign on Tourism to ine British Columbians of the important role the Travel ’ Industry plays in the economy of the province is one of several “New, Look" programs soon to be launched by Tourism B.C. Representatives of the ” “Kootenay Boundary Chambers of Commerce were told of the awareness program on Monday of last week at a meeting of the Provincia! Tourist Advisory Council in Victoria, attended by more than 50 travel industry representatives from all regions of the province. The awareness campaign is slated to be launched in Febru- ary by Travel Industry Minis- ter Grace McCarthy, who will be travelling to «selected centres throughout the pro- vince to present an audio-visual “SHOES THAT MAKE AN IMPRESSION” FOR SAVAGE SHOES AND ALL YOUR FAMILY FOOTWEAR Phone 365-7025 — Pine St. — Castlegar’ Make Your Skin ‘Feel as Good as You Look!

East Kootenay Tourism Committee chairman Doug Mc- “Intosh, one of the’ Kootenay » representatives at the Victoria meeting, strongly endorsed the need for an awareness cam- “paign. “The. Awareness Pro- gram,” said Mr. McIntosh, “will help to acquaint everyone-in British Columbia with the im- portant role the travel industry plays in our economy.” Mike Shauer .of Balfour, who represented the West Kootenay Boundary Tourism Committee at the Victoria session, said the campaign would give industry a shot in the arm and help set the stage for the coming tourist, season. ° The Regional Tourism co- ordinator‘ Ear) Hansen, the third Kootenay area repre- sentative at the Tourist Council meeting, said a number of other ‘issues important to the future of the visilor industry in the Kootenays w-re discussed. “A marketing plan for pro- vincial government advertising . programs was outlined at the meeting, which places more emphasis on advertising cam- paigns to encourage British Columbians to see their own province. “This should be, parti- cularly helpful to the Koot-" enays, as many potential travellers in the important Vancouver market will be made aware of some of our. at- tractions in our area.” The Tourism coordinator added that other features of the government advertising plan will be revealed by ‘Travel Industry Minister Grace Mc- Carthy during her swing through the province in Febru- ary and March. Other subjects discussed at the Tourist Council meeting included modification of tourist - information centre booth grant procedures, financial support for Travel Industry develop. : ments and a commitment of continued government support for winter travel promotion. @Oreille |Ring that will be Important to Kootenay Development fMooded by the reservoir to be erealed by the Seven: Mile Dam.

It was not until after they arrived home around 4 p.m, that, they re- ceived the full impact. of what had happened. City workers had already removed mud-that had piled up against the back of their home and placed it on their patio in one large sluge pile. (See photo ‘on page 2B) The basement ‘floor had been covered with. water, making it necessary to remove floor coverings from the family room, Mr. Barnes told the Castle- gar News this is the third time there had been flooding in this area. The last incident on Oct. 19 of last year, resulted in a basement foundation next door being filled with mud. At that time the city brought ih a.” machine to. remove . the material. A check with the city's public works supervisor, Alex -Lutz, verified that there had indeed been three. incidents. Very ' little information was available ‘on the first oc-* currence which took place early last. March. “This was ‘during the time - of sewer. construction and came under \the Jurisdiction of, the engineering firm involved,” said Mr. ‘Lutz. The second incident oc | curred on the night of Oct. 19. Mr. Lutz says there is no record of damage: on file at the city office. He had sent out a city. crew which cleaned up the basement area. To ‘accommodate any future’ overflow, . the public works laid 200 feet of closed pipe that ran into a 300-foot - open ditch approximately five feet deep, with the intent, of having the ditch act as:a drain- age field. What caused Thursday's damage to occur when the water came flowing down upon the Barnes’ home? The source has been pinpointed to the area where the closed pipe comes into the 300-foot ditch. The city has since laid a further 200 feet: of ‘pipe. Will this stop a an CREDIT UNION COMPLETE FINANCIAL SERVICE; . .
