SUN STAFF PHOTO /Karen Kerkhoft Local woman recipient of prestigious award KAREN KERKHOFF Sun Staff Castlegar resident Dorothy Bagg is the latest recipient of the prestigious Paul Harris Fellow award Presented July 25 by Rotarian and Kootenay -West-Revelstoke MP Jim Gouk, the award recog nizes humanitarian efforts in keeping with the Rotarian philos- ophy of “Service above self” The award, which was pur- chased by Gouk and the Castlegar Rotary Club, recognizes Bagg’s many volunteer efforts in the community said Gouk, who nom- inated Bagg and who is a former recipient of the award himself “She was a single parent who worked several jobs and yet still found time for the community She's been a good friénd and supporter.” Bagg said that when she attended the Rotary meeting she believed that she would be taking pictures of someone who was receiving the award. “I kept looking around to see which Rotarian was up for the award.” To her surprise she soon found that the recipient was none other than herself Still astonished by the sur- prise, she said that she finds it hard to believe that “an ordi- nary human being” such as her- self could receive such a high compliment But Gouk highlighted some of B ‘s many achievements and efforts: She was involved in Brownies, Guides. the Chamber of Commerce and the United Way. Her most notible effort was that in helping the modemization of Celgar Pulp on-line. For over a year and a half B: was an involved member of the Citizens for Clean Celgar Modemization (CCCM). Besides the certificate, Bag also received a medal and lapel pin Bagg is a long-time Castlegar resident having moved from Alberta in 1975, although she had mostly been raised in and near Dawson Creek, B.C.

That question has been around a long time, and the answer remains as elusive today as it did eons ago. Board members of the Castle- gar School District will soon have to wrestle with that problem when they merge onto the infor mation highway Superintendent Everette Surgenor said the impending installation of wiring for comput er networking at Stanley Humphries Secondary School and the subsequent acquisition of Internet and its easily accessible pornographic content leaves the district in a quandary [Students] downloading pornography is not a good se nario. Do you have it as open access and deal with infractions as they comie? Or do you make policy beforehand?” Surgenor said he's not certain how to control the flow of pornography from computers to students’ hands, but he is certain that such questions will eventual- ly have to be dealt with “It could be that they [stu- dents] might have to use a pass word.. But there's now password capture software.” When school resumes in the fall Surgenor will discuss Internet policy with the technical leader- ship team, which will in turn pass their recommendations on to the district's policy committee.

SuN STAFF PHOTO / Derek Zeisman U.S. adventurers ride the Columbia wave through town DEREK ZEISMAN Sun Editor Two U.S. adventurers made Castlegar their latest pit stop last Thursday on a three-month joumey down the Columbia River by boat Dennis Todd and Ed Moye, both of Eugene, Oregon, began their one-of-a-kind journey at Canal Flats July 6, at the start of the mighty Columbia. They've been at it on a daily basis ever since, successfully weathering the heat, sun and rain of the Kootenay summer. “We're going-the whole 1200 miles, all the way to the ocean,” said Todd, a professor of freshwater biol- ogy at the University of Oregon. “It’s never been done in a sail- boat before, so we decided it just had to be done.” Moye, a psychiatric nurse by vocation and “a sailing junkie summer,” said the trip is an excellent opportunity to get a first-hand look at the massive changes that have affected the Columbia River over the last half-century. “Plus, we wanted to avoid being too close to civilization for the summer,” laughed Moye Todd said he and his partner, in conjunction with team photog- rapher Jonathan Duncan, have been actively planning and researching their project for the last three years. “It’s a hare-brained scheme that we put some thought into,” he said, estimating the group's arrival at the Pacific Ocean some- time in mid-September. On a more serious note, Todd said the team’s trip has two main Purposes: to re-trace the route along the Columbia taken by an earlier adventurer, M. J. Lorraine, more than 70 years ago, and to conduct a detailed research pro- ject into how the construction of dams and industrial sites has altered the state of the river since Lorraine's trip. 5 “The Columbia has been very much changed by dams along its route. But the Grand Coolee Dam {in Washington state] was the biggest of all,” said Todd. “It was responsible for blocking off much of the river's wild salmon run.” Moye said he was appalled to see the environmental desola tion at B.C. sites like the Mica Dam, where constantly ch ing water Iévels caused by dam operations have resulted in the loss of most life in and along the river's banks. “But the Celgar Pulp Mill in this area was the first sign of any actual industrial pollution of any significance along our route - at least to this point in our trip.” Todd said he and his partners have been urging all Canadians to press for the installation of power generators at Castlegar’s Hugh Keenleyside Dam, to keep water levels more constant along this Kids Onl Clothing Club Inv, For kids on the grow and Moms on the go * 100% cotton © unique growth feature ¢ affordable prices For a free catalogue call Leeza 365-4997 Maureen 365-3282 er Castlegar Town Pantry Gage 1928 Columbia Ave., Castlegar at Highway 3 Junction © Enter to win 1 of 50 pairs of Molson Indy Vancouver GOLD TICKETS & PADDOCK PASSES. for Sept. 1,2 & 3.
