FIRE
\ GUTS
CABIN

By CasNews Staff

A three-room wood cabin
in Shoreacres was gutted by
fire last Thursday while the
owners were away in Van-
couver.

A tanker truck from
both Pass Creek and Tarrys
volunteer fire departments
attended the fire, which was
put out in about 10 minutes,
said Tarrys fire chief Alec
Lawrenow.

“As far as the value on the

in, I'm stumped there,”
said Lawrenow. “Their per-
sonal possessions are more
valuable than anything else.
Apparently the guy's a
writer, and he had a lot of
books.”

The owners are Joan Ren-
old and Brian Carpendale, he
said. The cabin is located at
the end of Shoreacres-
Goose Creek Road.

Cause of the fire is still
under investigation, said
Lawrenow.

Fonyo chugs to Vernon

REVELSTOKE (CP)
Steve Fonyo and his growing
entourage of highway sup-
porters chugged on today
through the Monashee
mountain range west of here,
one day closer to a mammoth
greeting planned this week-
end at his home of Vernon.

The 19-year-old, one-
legged runner was scheduled
to stay tonight in the small
community of Sicamous be-
fore turning south on his way
home to Vernon.

He also began today the
14th month of the run which
started March 31, 1984, in St.
John's, Nfid.

He capped his first week
back home in British Colum-
bia with a “fantastic” wel-
come Tuesday to this-
Columbia River valley town
that poured more than

$90,000 thto his Journey for
Lives coffers.

Several thousand people
lined the Trans-Canada High-
way and waved as he passed
through here.

Later, some 600 people,
paying $10 each, crowded
into a recreation centre for a
dinner-dance and reception
for Fonyo.

— $55,000 from Revelstoke. The
latter was presented to Fon-
yo in an emotion-charged
moment by 19-year-old Susan
Lipkovits, who, like Fonyo,
lost her leg to cancer when
she was 12.

pledged $1,000 for each kil-
ometre he runs in his home
province.

Tracey Pescod, 17, and
16-year-olds Dianna Bishop
and Rozanne McAstocker
were so taken with Fonyo
they hopped in a car and fol-
lowed him from Revelstoke
all the way to Three Valley
Gap where he ended his af-
ternoon's run.

STEVE FONYO

Between the run through
Revelstoke and the evening
revelry, Fonyo put 20 kil
ometres between him and
this town of 9,000 — the lar-
gest community he's passed
through since his triumphal
return to B.C. April 23.

Since then, he’s run 240

Youth rally
in Trail

“Choose life” will bethe
. theme of a Nelson Catholic
Diocesan Youth Rally to be
held in Trail this weekend.

The rally — organized by
the Trail Catholic Young
People’s Youth Group — will
attract 530 young people in
Grades 9-12 from the Okan.
agan to Cranbrook, Vick
Cavallin, youth group spokes
man, said today

Although right to life is the
focus of the rally, Cavallin
stressed that the event isn't
designed to gain support for
anti-abortionists

“The theme of the event is
not anti-abortion, it’s respect
life,” he said.

The rally will run -from
Friday evening to Sunday at
the J.L. Crowe Secondary
School.

One of the highlights of the
event will be guest speaker
Father Don Kimball, a “dise
jockey priest” from Calif.

ornia, said Cavallin.

As wil, workshops will be
held on topics including: sex
uality and the whole person,
drugs and alcohol, spiritual
ity and right to life.

On Sunday 600 helium
balloons will be released,
marking the rally’s end

a rush during one of their
stops.

He was hailed at the dinner
by Nelson Mayor Louis Mag:
lio as “the greatest Canadian
... you gotta be the great
est.
Revelstoke Mayor Tony
Coueffin, not to be outdone

on his own turf, said Tuesday
had been “one of the greatest
days for all Canada.” He-
presented the runner with a
cheque from the town council
for $4,500, representing 50
cents for each resident, and
challenged other municipal-
ities to match that “head
tax.”

There hasn't been any-
thing since Fonyo arrived in
B.C. to match the emotional
intensity of the tears stream-
ing down the face of Lip-
kovits as she presented the
cheque to him.

The young woman got to
know Fonyo when both were
patients at Children’s Hos-
pital in Vancouver seven
years ago. They sat beside
each other at the banquet.

Laborers’ union:

GERRY REMPEL
New member for heritage group

The Castlegar Heritage Advisory Committee has added
a new member. At the April meeting of the committee,
Gerry Rempel was proposed and accepted as a member.
Rempel, Castlegar Airport fire chief, is a student of local
heritage and a photographer of early pictures.

“It was felt that he will add considerably to the work of
the committee,” said committee chairman John Charters.

At the same meeting Charters reported that several
letters had been sent, including one to Wayne Stewart,
division superintendent of CP Rail, indicating the
committee's interest in the local railway station as a heritage
site.

Restoration supervisor Alex Lutz reported on the work
on the Zuckerberg Island Park chapel house and stated that
electricians woyld be installing the electrical fixtures in the
building, that the city had completed the fireline and
hydrant to the island and that he and volunteer Andy
Shutek had completed chinking the logs on the building prior
to the installation of the insulation.

With water in now, Lutz said, it would be possible to
proceed with plans to install a combination toilet facility and
storage building in the vicinity of the house.

Lutz called the proposal addition a necessary feature in
view of the ever-increasing number of tors, adults and
children to the island park, over the new ion bridge.

As well, when the Heritage Society of British Columbia
holds its seventh annual conference this year in Prince
George, it will have two delegates from Castlegar.

Charters, who attended the conference last year in
Nanaimo, was generous in his praise of the range of topics
covered and the valuable information on heritage matters
offered, as well as the useful contacts made.

However, he said he found it impossible to cover al! the
desired workshops, lectures and tours. So this year the
conference will be covered by committee members George
Apel and Alex Lutz.

The Selkirk College year is just about completed and
Dr. Mark Mealing and his volunteer team of archeology

students took a final look at the kukuli (Indian winter pit
house) on which they have been working since last fall.

manner and covered with evergreen boughs has been

Zuckerberg Island Park, adjacent to the original Interior
Salish Indian pit-house sites

These pit-house sites are protected by law and may only
be investigated by a qualified archeologist

In an earlier Castlegar Heritage Advisory Committee
meeting attended by several special guests, provincial
archeologist Wayne Chouquette had pointed out that there
is evidence that this valley may have been occupied by
Indian tribes as long as 10,000 years ago and that the island
sites are the most recent examples of their presence.

With this in mind, the Heritage Advisory Committee is
proposing the development of selected sites as a part of an
eco lab and museum.

ET TALK

IT’S A “CHARMING TOWN of nearly 7,000" near
the southern border of B.C. It likes to call itself “Cross-
roads of the Kootenays” and is near to a 170-foot-high
dam.

Sound familiar? Castlegar was the focus of an article
that appeared in the April 21 edition of the Seattle
Times/Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Featured in the travel
section, Castlegar is described as having “peace in its
pace, resolute movement in its everyday life, and the
friendliness a small town’ can offer a stranger.”

Attractions listed include the Hugh Keenleyside
Dam, Syringa Provincial Park, and the Doukhobor
Historical Village.

Also mentioned in the article (almost as an after-
thought) are Trail, Rossland, Nelson, Creston, Cranbrook
and Kimberley.

REMEMBER THAT STREET Talk item that told
of Procter and Gamble’s fight against rumors that their
moon-and-stars logo is a satanist trademark?

A ding to a for the more
than 12,000 people have called Procter and Gamble in the
past two months to see if the rumor is true.

Well, the corporate giant has finally thrown in the
towel. It recently announced it will remove the moon-and-
stars logo from its products. However, the logo will still
be used on corporate letterheads and publications, as the
company still insists it signifies no secret satanist link.

HILDEGARD BUSCHHAUS, the 56-year-old wom-
an who was recently featured in the Castlegar News
when she passed through town on her walk across
Canada, hit Medicine Hat Tuesday.

Buschhaus started out from Vancouver Island March
20, and plans to arrive in Bonavista, Nfld. Sept. 15. The
rosy-cheeked grandmother from Port Alberni is raising
money for the blind. So far she's raised $9,000.

SPEAKING OF CROSS-COUNTRY treks, Steve
Fenyo's Journey for Lives run has raised“nearly one
million B.C. government dollars, not including private
contributions.

ONE REASON why last week's icipal emer-
gency program exercise was kept such a secret was
because coordinator Frank Steven used 15 students from
Trail as accident victims. It was felt that using
out-of-town students would ensure there wouldn't be any
“leak” about the exercise.

OVER 11,000 CARDS supporting the $60 million in
federal funding for Comingo's proposed lead smelter
were recently received by Kootenay West MP Bob
Brisco.

The card and letter writing campaign was sponsored
by the Kootenay Boundary Economie Development Com-
mittee.

“As well, it was extremely gratifying to receive
almost 100 letters on the subject and in only one case was
there any negativism,” wrote Brisco in a letter to the
Regional District of Kootenay Boundary.

EVERY TOWN IN THE WEST KOOTENAY will be
featured in a 60-page tabloid promoting the Inland
Northwest region to be sent to thousands of homes this
month.

The project is being spearheaded by Peter Cooke, an
advertising salesman for the Spokane Spokesman-
Review. Roy Shields, manager of the Kootenay Country
Tourist Association, has worked out a deal with the B.C.
tourism ministry that cuts the cost of advertising in the
tabloid in half through matching grants.

B.C. residents wishing to contribute to Fonyo's
campaign — which is raising money for cancer treatment
and research — can phone his headquarters set up in the
B.C. Pavilion of the Pacifie National Exhibition in
Vancouver. The number's 251-4747 and volunteers are
answering phones from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a
week. .

FORMER CASTLEGAR RESIDENT Tim Frick and
wheelchair athlete Rick Hansen on Friday reached the
1,500-mile mark (2,414 kilometres) of Hansen's Man In
Motion World Tour.

Tim, a former Physical Education instructor at
Selkirk College, is tour manager and also Hansen's coach
and trainer on the trip that is expected to take 18 months,
covering 40,000 kilometres in 34 countries to raise money
for spinal cord research.

Tim said in a telephone conversation with a local
resident upon reaching San Diego that they hope to be in
Miami on the Eastern U.S. coast in three weeks. After
that it's off to Europe. According to their itinerary the
tour will pass through Castlegar next August before
finishing at the Expo 86 grounds in Vancouver.

Labor tal

VANCOUVER (CP) — Wounds sustained in the feud

, between the British Columbia Federation of Labor and

the International Woodworkers of America have not

healed, but a second set of talks between their leaders

has given woodworkers leader Jack Munro some
proposals to take to his union's regional council.

Federation president Art Kube said Tuesday he
advanced some positions that Munro will discuss with the
IWA regional council June 4.

He would not elaborate, except to say they
concerned the representation of woodworkers’ members
in the federation.

“The IWA has some fairly legitimate complaints
about the representation and structure,” said Kube.

In response to those concerns, Kube said, he
established a committee about a month ago that will
travel around B.C. seeking submissions from union locals
regarding the system of representation used in allocating

ji to federation i
Currently, two delegates to the annual convention

s endure

are allowed for the first 250 members of each union local,
and one more delegate for each additional 250 members
or fraction thereof. The IWA, which has small union
locals, objects to the arrangement because it under. rep-
resents their numbers, Kube said.

Kube said representation was the main issue
between the two labor leaders, although there remain
“other small issues which provide an irritation.”

“What has to be understood is there was a feud at
the convention, there were some wounds, and those
wounds require healing,” said Kube.

The row between the 35,000-member IWA and the
labor central stems from the federation’s 1984
convention, at which delegates ousted Munro from his
first vice-presidency position.

Two months later, the TWA announced its 13 locals
would each affiliate a maximum of 50 members to the
federation, cutting the union's contribution to the
federation by about $180,000.
