B2 CASTLEGAR NEWS, August 6, 1980 One man’s opinion Castlegar council leads way By FRED MERRIMAN “Hay, Elmer and Tom, try Castlegar.'"* Trall Clty Council! may have done you a favor by turning down the best idea to hit the city in 40 years. i We have the same river view here in Castlegar. We have plenty of free parking. We could use a few more hotels, studios and classrooms. The whole Idea is needed and will be accepted here within the week. Castlegar is Motels, r centres and beautiful new homes are springing up all: over the place. We have the airport, the longest main street In the Interlor, Selkirk College, anew bus depot and a main highway that passes right through the heart. Form acompany, Elmer. Tell the government and city councils to keep their money. A well organized Art Centre with attachments as you are envisaging would have to bs a money maker. ! Castlegar has arrived and Is expected to hit 20,000 people within 16 years. | don't know where Trail will be but Castlegar will gladly take the Arts Centre and add it to the many other jewels in her crown; IIk8' clean, pure, soft water, championship golf courses, daily flights to Vancouver, excellent schoo! system, Doukhobor Restaurant, Brilllant Cultural Centre, Natlonal Exhibition Centre, Kinnaird Park, two, no, three famous bridges and for the patient a quaint ferry rid a. 1 do admit that Trall now has green trees the streets | BBA Ce CEL ih Trail-Warfield second Trail-Warfield Stingrays Swim Club took second-place honors in the recent Castlegar Invitational Swim Meet, ac- cummulating 387 polnts to the host team's first-place grand total of 910, ~ Colville trailed with 287, then Nelson 285, Kimberley 196, Oliver 78, Langley 23, Golden 11 and, in ninth place, Greenwood with three points.

There is some hope for Trail but in Castlegar we don't just sit around and hope, our City Council does things. It took courage to change all the addresses. It takes almost foolhardy courage to drive a road down Ninth Avenue and alter one of the nicest streets In the area. % Nevertheless, the City of Castlegar grows and the quiet nelghborhoods are going to have to face that fact of life. Yes, Elmer, | tIked ihe Art Centre model and the whole concept would have put Teall on the map for something besides the biggest smelter in the world — maybe. . : aH Tom Steven gave me the Impression he couid almost hear the first Concert of Vancouver Symphony — and then Trail City Council make the sign of death. In Castlegar we make the sign of life so get your briefcase and drawings together and talk to Audrey and Albort and the gang.

B.C.’s Tourism Minister Pat Jordan and Newfound. land’s Tourism Minister Ron Dawe officially started the first, organized, vintage-car tour of Canada — from Vic- toria to St. John's, both island capitals — and the first to proceed from west to east. Jordan said the voyagers will be “‘great ambassadors for our province.”* She will be in St. John’s to welcome her fellow British Columbians at tour's end. = The tour, three years in planning and organized by the Golden Ears chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Can- ada, Maple Ridge, B.C., will take a month. Its theme is Canadian unity. Tour co-ordinator Don MacDonald says the 22 chil- dren and 46 adults partici- pating in the tour are looking forward to a ‘real educa- tion.” They will visit Indian, Doukhobor, Hutterite, Icelan- dic and other cultural com- - munities at the invitation of these groups. “We will show the chil- dren their country, their his- tory and it will be alive for them. The 32 participating ve- hicles were manufactured be- tween 1929 and 1948. They range from a 1930 Rolls Royce valued at $100,000, to a 1929 Graham Paige, to a Model ‘A’ Ford Truck. The Royal Canadian Le- gion is assisting the cavalcade by providing security for the vehicles when they are patked, meeting halls, escorts in and out of cities, and arenas for public viewing of the antique cars. X The itinerary has been arranged so that the vehicles travel in groups so as not to impede highway traffic. i The tour is expected to reach St. John’s on Wed- nesday, Aug. 27. Well, at least that’s the plan. from your local meat market or health food store. Tipe for the Consumer: 1. If you are canning fruit or vegetables it is of prime importance to use produce freshly packed. + 2. 1f you wish to use less sugar in canning fruit, make a light syrup, as this allows the fresh taste of the fruit to seem more pronounced. You may enjoy it more. in novice tournament Ken Ross of the Christina Lake Water Ski Club, was overall winner at the Novice Tournament held Saturday at English Bay.
