Hey Castlegar! Don't forget to “spring forward” by setting your clocks one hour ahead this Sunday morn- ing. Technically speaking, the time switch- es at 2 a.m. on Sunday. But if you're a date riser and n't getup until after 11 am., we're sure it won't make much of a difference!

Always an outdoorsman, Pryce could also be termed an environ- mentalist, since he has been pro- moting parks and walking trails in this area for many years. The most recent result of his volunteer efforts is Dove Hill park, located above the Castlegar Golf Course Pryce is currently trying to expand on that initiative, by link- ing Dove Hill park with a number of. walking trails along the Columbia River from Kinnaird Bridge to Verigin's Tomb. Pryce is also an artist, and his work is displayed at Stanley Citizen of the Year for 1992 Humphries Secondary School ‘and other public centres around Castlegar. Pryce was an early supporter of Air Cadets in Castle- gar, and remains follower of that youth organization to this day. Pryce is also known for his international work for the devel- opment of peace and good-will in war-torn and oppressed countries, as well as for the development of countries stricken with famine. Chairman of the Kiwanis selec- tion committee, Bob MacBain, concurred with the result of Tues- day's vote, though admitted it was a difficult decision, since there were nine exceptional people who were nominated. "It's always a tough decision to make, but the choice is a good one. We will be honoring Colin at our banquet on April 13, at the Fireside Inn." BC Hydro to open corporate Castlegar SHARLENE IMHOFF Sun Editor BC Hydro's newest regional office will be located in the pre- vious Castlegar Savings Credit Union building, across from Super Valu BC Hydro spokesperson Al Geissler said the company signed a three-year lease, with an option to lease again for three years. The building is currently going through some renovations and BC Hydro expects to move in by mid-April The new centre will officially be called the Columbia Kootenay program office. Geissler will relo- cate from his position in Vernon to take on the new role of Columbia Kootenay Program Manager. “We want to have enough room to accommodate about 20 people But this will be built up slowly over time,” said Geissler, regard- ing employment prospects. The office will be the location office in from which Hydro acttetties and initiati are coordinated. Geissler said the company wants to have a pres- ence in the community, and will be working at involvement A number of new initiatives will be taking place in the sur- rounding area, as outlined in The Way Ahead, BC Hydro’s annual report. Geissler pointed out how. ever, that there are still no plans to turn the Hugh Keenleyside Dam in a electric generating dam. “Setting up this office doesn't mean that this is going happen, although I'm sure people will assume that it is.” Geissler said he doesn’t see a conversion to the Hugh Keenley- side dam occurring for a “num- ber of years.” Geissler credited Castlegar Mayor Audrey Moore, Area J Director Ken Wyllie and MLAs Ed Conroy and Corky Evans for lobbying for the new office Narelle Sookorukoff, a grade 3 student at Tarrys Elementary School, adds more weight to the experiment, as Christopher Plonka looks on in disbelief model held 75 Ibs before it broke.

On track!_ SUBMITTED PHOTO Don't SHARLENE IMHOFF — Sun Editor The Harcourt government has released its second budget, and true to predictions made through- out the last three months, it con- tains a number of tax inc The NDP will incr Provincial Sales Tax to seven per cent, incre the personal income tax surcharge on higher-in®the earners, place a luxury tax on vehicles costing over $30,000 and eliminate the sales tax allowance on automobile trade-ins. There will also be tax increases on fuel, cigarettes and alcohol. The income tax rate on large corpora- tions will increase to 16.5 per cent effective this July, and a new graduated school property tax sur- charge will be applied to homes assessed at over $500,00. Rossland-Trail MLA Ed Con- roy defended his government's budget for 1993, which has been titled ‘Choices and Challenges.” ‘This budget attempts to raise more revenue and place the burden of doing so on those who can afford it. At the same time we want to protect the province's social safe- ty-net while keeping an eye on the future, Conroy said. The MLA said residents of the province including those in his riding—are constantly saying that the deficit must be decreased. This budget, he ‘Everyone agrees with that plan until the measures in doing so affects them’ — ED CONROY Rossland Trail MLA said, will continue doing so “Everybody agrees with that plan until the measures in doing so affects them—then they're not so quick to agree with it anymore.“* €onroy said deficit reduction has been ongoing, since it has already been decreased from $2.4 billion to $1.9 billion. "We're striving to bring that number down to $1.5 million by this time next year.“ Conroy applauded his govern- ment for making cuts in areas Federal ministers holding meeting in Castlegar SHARLENE IMHOFF Sun Editor Members of the British Columbia Caucus will play host to local residents and municipal officials, when they arrive in Castlegar on April 5 Federal Cabinet Ministers Tom Siddon and Frank Oberle, as well as other MPs will be meetings with Castlegar City Councillors, Regional District Representatives and area mayors in a closed ses. sion from 10 a.m. until noon “These meetings are being held to give municipal officials in the Kootenay region a rare opportunity to discuss their con cerns with members of the feder al government in an open, frank and constructive forum,” said Trish Slanz, assistant to Native Affairs Minister Tom Siddon Lunch and afternoon meetings, sponsored by the~ Castlegar Chamber of Commerce, will be open to the public, and take place at the Fireside Inn-Banquet Room. “The B.C. Caucus travels quite extensively around the province, but I believe this is the first time it has made arrangements to come to the Kootenays,” Slanz contin- “In a sense it's like bringing Ottawa to the Kootenays.” The public lunch and after noon meetings will consist of two consecutive sessions concerning issues of interest to the West Kootenay area.

Some of these include cutting $30 million for consulting, supplies, materials and ‘vehicles: $3 million in advertising; $3 mil lion in furniture and equipment; seven government boards and commissions; elimination of assistant deputy ministers, execu- tive directors and directors; five per cent cut in cabinet salaries of the premier and ministers; contin- ued freeze on MLA's salaries, and, a freeze on the salaries of deputy ministers and senior man- agers of crown corporations and government agencies making more than $100,000 annually. “I know that when it comes to tax increase, people get in a vile mood, but it has to be done if we are going to do what we promised. It's not popular, but it will decrease the deficit," Conroy finished.
