56 CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, October 5, 1978 Three Kin-Belle Rangers Among 14 Girls Guide Release Fourteen Rangers from various areas of B.C., including Kin-Belle Rangers Audrey Armstrong, Chris Perversoff and Lynne Smecher of Castle- gar, were chosen to participate in an August canoe trip on the Arrow Lakes. ‘The B,C. Council, Girl Guides of Canada, sponsored this camp as one of the oppor- tunities available to the teen- age branch of Guiding. Adults with the girls were Mrs. Jean Nelson of Clearwater who was Guider-in-Charge, a lifeguard and a superb cook. How many canoe camp menus include chinese food, steaks cooked to order and hot ban- nock? Mrs, Nelson's daughter, Nadeane, had the responsibility of being chief lifeguard and was the usual skipper of “the tank.” (So named because that par- ticular aluminum canoe seemed as big as a tank when you had to move it.) Enjoying her first long trip by canoe was Mrs, Barbara James of North Vancouver who was also a lifeguard. Mrs. James was pleasantly surprised to find she could hold her own with teenagers while paddling 20 miles a day for six successive days. “But she had the best canoe!" some Rangers said with envy. Mrs. Doris Sweeney round- ed up much of the equipment used and being the only one who had done the trip before, was the Arrow Lakes guide. You can't very well get lost on the lake so “guide” meant choose suitable campsites and try to anticipate what the lake would do under various weath- er conditions. As local boaters know, the Arrow Lakes, like some wo- men, can be most unpredict- able. Ladylike and gentle one minute, it can turn very quickly into a screaming, miserable old witch. Canoes were kindly loaned by Jack Dunn, Merv Rush, George Cawte, Bob Bromme- land, John Dalziel and Wilf Sweeney, with Jean Nelson supplying two. Thanks is ex- tended to the recreation com- mission for loaning the canoe trailer for transport to the north end of the Lake. ~ Rangers ‘Rough It’ on the Arrow Lakes Elderly Are Hitting The Booze An alarming amount o: elderly North Americans are serious alcoholics, a doctor specializing in this area reveals. But while it has become a major problem, the rest of North America is just ignoring the plight of the aged alcoholic. “These elderly people are the most uncomfortable and unhappy individuals I have ever met in my entire life,” says Dr. Sava Saunders, an addiction researcher. About 12 per cent of our senior citizens who are in old age homes have serious alcohol problems. “Time and time again we are asked for help from these people,” she says, And worse still, the num- ber of old agers in North America is expected to double before the end of the century, population statistics show. “So if we don't start to consider those problems from now on, we're going to be in real trouble,” says Dr. Saun- ders, who has been working closely with the aged for four years. But despite the statistics, North Americans still don't realize the problem.

Mrs, Red Kelly, a great cock and hostess welcomed them with a delicious turkey dinner. Most Rangers attended a function billed as “the Annual Trout Lake Dance" that eve- ning. They were Cinderellas with a Ford 4 x 4 as their coach and had to be back at camp before midnight to get up in time for a logger's breakfast at 6 am. For the first few days, the weather was hot and the water calm, enabling the more in- experienced paddlers to gain confidence and canoe sense under ideal conditions. Later, the lake began to show what it could do—a headwind here, high rolling waves fed by a tail wind there, quiet water and then more wind. In spite of unfavorable winds, they were able to make it to the best places to camp (on occasion—the only place) each night except one. On the last night they were forced, by high waves, to bed down on the rocky roadbed at Sunshine Creek. After a day of tough paddling it’s really easy to sleep on rocks, For many of the Rangers, who came from Golden, the lower mainland, Kamloops, Hef- ley Creek and Fort St. John, it - was their first visit to the West Kootenay area. All were amazed they didn't see more people enjoying this scenic stretch of water. In six days they encountered only a few boats cruising or fishing and some working CanCel tugs. There were a lot of osprey and flocks of Canada Geese but no bears or deer were seen. That is not surprising, con- sidering how difficult it is for eight canoes full of females to be quiet. The trip was planned to end at Syringa Creek but the lake turned mean the last day. Cances fought their way to shore about noon at Deer Park. The Guiders would like to thank a Deer Park resident whose name they don’t know. He very kindly launched his boat in bad weather to take two staff members out to help girls bring in the last canoe safely. Once ashore, it’ was the unanimous opinion that they stay there. A sort of moccasin telegraph was set up to get enough trucks to Deer Park to transport everybody and all their gear to Castlegar. Thanks are extended to Roman Tisch- ler,” Hugo Smecher, Linda Brommeland, George Latta, Qdd Brommeland, Louise La- marche and Jon Sweeney for doing so. The refreshments brought to Deer Park by Andy and Edie Dunn were much appreciated. Twin Rivers division com- missioner Marlene Conrad, with Doreen Smecher and Doreen Armstrong, provided a lovely big dinner that evening at Sweeneys’ home where everybody stayed the last night. All agreed it was a fan- tastic, different kind of camp and they would like to do it again “but please—not next week!” d ee .

Compulsory seat belt us- age, designed to reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries which occur on British Columbia highways each year, was introduced one year ago this week. i Superintendent of Motor Vehicles, Robert Whitlock, said highway death and serious injury tolls are down so far this year which indicates that mo- torists are obviously changing highway driving habits. Whitlock said that of the 1,052 tickets issued so far, fines have ranged from $15 to $100. The Motor-Vehicle Act re- quires motor vehicle occupants, aged 16 and over, to wear seat belts while driving or riding in a vehicle where belts are in- stalled. Youngsters, aged six to 15, must also buckle up. In their ease it is the responsibility of the vehicle driver to ensure that youngsters are wearing properly-adjusted and fastened belts.

Yogurt is the fastest growing dairy product. The industry explains the popularity of yogurt as a con- sumer reaction to. a product which they conceive as a con- venient, inexpensive, nutritious’ low-calorie food. The two latest products to reach the markct-place are cer- tainly convenient. Yogurt shake is a liquid yogurt which you simply shake and drink. Great for breakfast or snack time. Z The other new product is a frozen yogurt. A scoop on fruit salads or atop a cone is a refreshingly different treat.
