Sy Castlegar News TREET TALK HERDING 300 Japanese students around the Kootenays can present horrendous logistical prob- lems. Just ask the people who had to wait through two sailings for the Kootenay Lake Ferry last week. Apparently, the 300 students attending the new Canadian International College in Nelson decided to head out on a tour of the area: They travelled to Balfour to catch the Kootenay Lake ferry across to Kootenay Bay. The students went in two waves. First 150 students walked aboard the 10 a.m. ferry. But that meant only a few cars could get on the ferry because the safety limits had been reached by the 150 Jap- anese foot passengers. When the ferry returned to Balfour at 12 noon, another wave of 150 Japanese students went aboard as foot passengers. Some of the cars that didn't make the 10 a.m. ferry missed the 12 noon sailing as well, They finally got aboard the 2 p.m. ferry. But word is some were furious at the more than four-hour wait, THE REGIONAL District of Central Kootenay has mailed a nifty little brochure entitled “Know Your Regional District” to area households this week. The brochure is part of the regional district's municipal awareness week program It outlines why regional districts were formed, what regional districts do, and contains some interesting facts. For instance, did you know Castle- gar is 7.4 square miles and Nelson is only 3.19 square miles. Area I, represented by John Voykin, is the smallest electoral district with just 42 square miles. That compares to Area D, represented by board chairman George Cady (Lardeau area) which has 2,354 square miles. A real killer is. the quiz at the back of the pamphlet. Here's a test question: “How many regional districts are there in B.C.?” Give up? Answer: 29. A FORMER Selkirk College hairdressing student will be one of two apprentices representing B.C. at the Canadian Hair World Student Competition in Toronto on Saturday. Karen Forrest, 20, placed third among 15 student stylists at the B.C. qualifying competition March 20 at the Hotel Vancouver. Forrest is an apprentice at Richard Jeha's Hair Company in Vancouver. “The styles we did for the B.C. competition were fairly traditional,” says Forrest. “For the national competition we're working on something more chal- lenging and exciting: sculptured asymmetrical de- signs.” The top five finalists in Toronto will represent Canada at the 22nd World Hairdressing Championship in Germany later this year. Team trainer is Anthony Crosfield, who was the top Canadian student/apprentice at the 1986 World Hair Championship in Italy. He is -also a Selkirk College graduate. THE CANADIAN Cancer Society has issued a warning to Castlegar residents that a Montreal-based organization that is soliciting funds through the:mail for cancer research should not be confused with the society's annual April campaign. Called the Cancer Research Society Inc., the Montreal organization has sent letters to households in B.C. at the same time the Canadian Cancer Society is conducting door-to-door canvassing by 7,000 volun- teers. “This group has no connection to the Canadian Cancer Society; in fact its grants are offered virtually entirely to researchers in eastern Canada,” says a news release issued by the society. “Please be advised that this organization, with a similar name and a vaguely similar logo to that of the Canadian Cancer Society, does not offer any contribution to education or patient services.” PREMIER BILL Vander Zalm’s tour through the area last week had its share of light moments as the procession of media, demonstrators and his entourage scurried from Castlegar to Rossland to Trail. CBC-TV news reporter Andy Orr suffered through some transporation problems. The radiator in the rented truck Orr and his cameraman were using sprung a leak in Rossland and dumped its entire contents of water and anti-freeze in the parking lot of the Uplander Hotel Meanwhile, Sara Cox, the Vancouver Sun reporter, was asking Trail Mayor Mare Marcolin why the city needed a new road up the Smelter Hill. Cox was given a rude answer a bit later when she drove her car up the hill and got to the hairpin turn at the Cominco entrance gate. The bell went off and the lights started flashing. By the time Cox knew what was happening a large semi-trailer truck carrying telephone poles made its way around the corner, nearly clipping her car in the process. Elsewhere, Vander Zalm was asked to put on a brightly-colored public works vest and a hard hat before turning the sod at the West Trail approach. While experiencing diffieulting in trying to put the vest on the premier said: “By now you know I'm not used to wearing these things.” B.C. TEL customers will see a new look in their telephone bills starting April 18. It's the first time in over 10 years that B.C. Tel has made major changes.to its phone bill format Most noticeable is the larger size. Other changes include easier to read type, bill summaries, a comments column and expanded billing information. = Hydro may hold meeting here April 20, 1988 LOOK TO US SERVICE SELECTION @ QUALITY!
