°- Viewers of West Kootenay
Cablevision Society programs
will ‘continue’to receive these
presentations on Channel 7.
An announcement released
to the news media ‘last week
reported ' several ‘channel
‘changes including Channel 7 to

"Community © Video man-
ager Jim Williamson told the
Castlegar News Tuesday, while
it now had permission from the
Canadian’ Radio-Television
Commission to make © this
change,’ such a move is being
temporarily held up because
the necessary equipment is not
available.

He said it is the company's
intent to make this change once
the “equipment! was: available
but at. the’: present-.time is
‘unable to state just’ when.

Those persons wanting to
view local programming’ will

continue to do'so on Channel 7. *

sists of a $30,000. outdoor
amphitheatre which has been
designed to fit into the natural
setting. of Canada Island. The
theatres function is multi-

‘pose but it is especially

vaulted { for informal entertain-

ment groups,

The enclosed British Co-
lumbia Pavilion located at the
entrance to Canada Island Park
cost about half-a-million dollars
and offers an exciting series of
audiovisual. presentations. ‘In
five uniquely different viewing
areas, visitors are treated to
both double and single slide
Projection; real and mirrored
views of the natural island
setting; table-top and’ floor-
level views from overhead film
and slide projectors; and,
finally, a theatre with a
seven-image screen.

From the theatre visitors
may proceed to the enclosed
exhibition area where B.C.
artists will be featured in both
displays and. demonstrations.
Highlighting. this first month
are some of the works of Bill
Reid, the world’s foremost

exponent of Halda Indian art.
The display includes Haida

+ carvings, sculptures, paintings

and sketches and {s igsured at
over $1 million,

Mrs. Pixie Meldrum, gen-
eral manager of the B.C,
Pavilion, says this province has
worked towards creating a
relaxing atmosphere, an “oasis”
amidst» the excitement and
bustle of the Exposition, She
hopes that all Kootenay resl-
dents who visit the fair will
make their B.C. Pavilion one of
the first displays visited.

With the exception of four
permanent buildings (the
Washington State and U.S.
Pavilions, the Boeing Interna-
tional Amphitheatre and the
German Hofbrau which will
house an antique carrousel), all
pavilions and concession stands
are temporary structures and
will be dismantled after the
fair. Bids have already been
received by the Republic of
China, for example, and_ its
pavilion may end up as a
theatre for the performing arts
in» some smal] Washington
State community.

Requests Rezoning Hearing

Rezoning was’ requested
Tuesday night when B.C.’ Tel
representative Don Knight told
council his company had. an

option on land adjacent to the:

railway tracks dividing the two
former towns that now make up
the City of Castlegar. “Tiough
there were no immediate plans
for « construction,”. . said | Mr.
Knight, “a long range proposal
called for a telephone exchange,
plant centre, dispatch building
and truck garage. The land did,

«however, require suitable zon-

ing at this time.”

Mr. Knight spoke of major
renovations for expansion at

change but stated the company
cannot expand this building to
meet its total'future needs.

"One_of the main needs in
relocating,” he said, “is to be
near the main feeder. cable
roots and this particular piece
of land was ideally situated.”

He pointed out this cuts
costs considerably which made
such development more favor-
able.

He spoke of long range
planning with no change in the
property at this time.

Council approved a:special
rezoning meeting for which the
company would: pay a fee. At
this time Mr. Knight said he
would appear with prepared
‘drawings for council's viewing.
