Way to go Castlegar!

The Kootenay Colum-
bia ChiTdcare Centre
(KCCCS) is proud to
announce that more than
$9,500 was raised in sup-
port of the Variety Chub—
which in turn will double
the money and give it
back to the KCCCS so
construction can resume to
the Children’s Centre.

“We would like to
extend a thank you to all
the businesses, service
clubs and individuals who
donated money to the
Variety Club on behalf of
the Kootenay Columbia
Childcare Society,” said
Connie Vereshagin, secre-
tary at the Society.

Castlegar's total goal to
raise $10,000 can still be
met.

Although the telethon
was held last weekend,
donations to the Variety
Club will be accepted up
until March 31. Any dona-

tions from Castlegar to the Vari-

ety Club will still automatically
be doubled and donated
back to the KCCCS.

Now that more money is
available for the Children’s
Centre, construction to the
building can resume.

“We're hoping that peo-
ple will be working on the
building by early spring,”
Vereshagin continued.

Katrine Conroy, adminis-
trator of the KCCCS, said
that in order for the building
to be completed and fur-
nished, approximately
$100,000 would be

“We were really grateful
when the Variety Club
decided to help us out by
doubling all donations which
came in,” C said.

The Children’s Centre,
once it is completed, will
cater to a waiting list of chil-
dren under three with and
without special needs. As
well, the centre will provide
services for young and sin-
gle mothers, including such
things as a clothing swap.

Support for D’Arcy

Alt a constituency meeting in
Trail, one of the Kootenays most
recognizable names in provincial
politics will have to defend her
actions in last year’s pre-election
campaign

Iris Bakken will find out

tonight if she has been suspended

kudos from the Socreds for
attracting new members, did not

Mall breaks ground

JIM ZEEBEN
Sun staff

Anyone who has lived in
Castlegar for any length of time
over the last 10 years might want
to skip this article. It won't be the
first one announcing that the lat-
€st proposal to build a new mall
in Castlegar is further along than
any other.

Castlegar residents have
spent a decade anticipating the
construction of a new mall. In the
last year alone, developers have
changed their plans regarding

pct i ’ for trout

location, size and construction
dates three times.

The difference with the newest
Proposal is that this time even the
city seems positive.

“This is the furthest along I've
seen any mall development,” said
city administrator Gary Williams.
“I think most of the technical
details have been worked out.”

If things pan out, by this fall
Castlegar will have a 64,000
square foot strip-mall in what is
now the vacant lot at 1502

More than 60 people, most of
whom were members of the
Coalition Unaccepting Rash
Bureaucracy (CURB), gathered at
the Fireside Inn Monday evening
to discuss and formulate ques-
tions they will present to city
council during the upcoming bud-
get meeting March 2.

Two councillors were also pre-
sent at the meeting, Kirk Duff
and Jim Chapman, though neither
Participated in the three-hour long
discussions.

“We're pleased that (Chapman
and Duff) realize the importance
of the meeting here tonight,” said
CURB President Michael O'Con-
nor.

After providing a brief history
of how the organization took
shape and what it stands for, John
Moorlag, a director on CURB's
executive, stated the membership
had surpassed the 100 mark

‘The membership will not be
made public, but I'm sure council
realizes CURB is not a handful of
individuals with — personal
grudges.”

According to CURB Vice Pres
ident Walter Flux, CURB mem-

bers were not given much of a
chance to prepare themselves for
Monday's meeting due to its hur-
ried announcement.

“We organized this mcg ae in

to do if I was playing politics,”
she said. “But you have to stand
up for what's right.”

Bakken doesn't understand
why she was singled out to have
her membership revoked.

“Why didn’t they take Grace
McCarthy's membership away?”
Bakken questioned. “She came
right out and said ‘vote Liberal.’ I
never bad-mouthed Walt
Siemens, [the official Social
Credit candidate].”
