Canadian Red Cross Relief Worker, Bruce Miller, witnessed the hopeless: ness many people in the coun try’s once-proud medical profession are now experiencing “The doctors and nurses in that country have less than sixty per cent of the supplies they need,” said Miller, who was visiting Castlegar to speak about his work experiences to this area’s Russian community “As a result there is great pressure on their health care system. Consequently, diseases that in Canada are considered relatively harmless have become’ serious threats to children in Russia, par ticularly those under the age of 14. Of particular concern, said Miller, are respiratory and inte sti nal infections which are ravaging the country. ‘A major part of the problem is the poor diet of these people due to their economic constraints But significant is the fact that there are no supplies for preven.

The grade five and six students of Woodland Park took up the challenge, and the entries received were of top quality, as Popoff’s poem clearly indicated Castlegar Royal Canadian Legion President, Bob MacBain praised all the entrants, but said Ryan Popoftf While most of us look towards Christmas as being a time to share with family mem- bers there are some who aren't as fortunate. For those people, Christmas underscores the loneliness they feel each day and is magnified on holidays. Many of those people only hope they. can get through the day——and Christmas dinner for them might mean a TV dinner warmed up, or a simple sand- wich. The churches in Castlegar are once again showing the truc Castlegar churches plan community Christmas feast meaning of Christmas by. shar ing a meal with those who are less fortunate. For the third consecutive year they will be sponsoring a free Community. Christmas Dinner which will be held December 23 at 6 p.m. at the Castlegar Arena Complex The meal will ¢omé com- plete with turkey, all the trim- mings, dessert and companionship. If you are interested in attending the dinner, tickets can be obtained from local church- es or the Salvation Army Thrift Shop in Castlegar. Clothes dryer catches fire Sun Staff A clothes dryer, unattended while drying clothes, has left one Castlegar home with substantial smoke damage Castlegar Fire Chiet Rempel said that on December 8, the fire department responded to a call at 12:01 p.m. at the Steve Koochin residence at 114 Sth Avenue When firefighters arrived they found a dryer that had caught firewhile the owners of the home were away. Although the fire had extinguished itself, Rempel said smoke damage to the rest of the home necessitated ventilation with ventilation fans One pumper truck and 11 fire fighters were on scene for approximately two hours. Rempel! cautions residents to not leave appliances operating while not in the home “It’s pretty scary, it could have been worse.” Downed line keeps locals sleeping Residents in the south end of Castlegar might have uninten- tionally slept late Friday morning, after a tree fell on top of a West Kootenay Power line, near the Cozy Pines Motel, around 2 a.m. According to Mike McCor mack, WKP operations supervi sor for Castlegar, the tree was heavily laden with wet snow, causing it to come crashing down on the line ‘Linemen had to walk a little ways into the bush and cut it down. But many of the residents had power back on within 15 minutes,” said McCormack Residents in the Kinnaird area however, were without power for an additional 15 minutes until the tree was actually Gerry removed Since the heavy snowfall we've had a few minor prob lems, but things could be a lot worse.
