Kootenay Boundary Area
Participates in Boat Show

The Spokane Sport And
Boat Show, scheduled for Jan.

, 12-16, will’ have strong parti-
' cipation from the Kootenays, as
Se

a result of a decision by the
Kootenay Boundary Chambers
of Commerce to spearhead a
major travel show promotion
program early in the new year,

In addition to the Spokane
show, the Kootenay Boundary

+ Chambers of Commerce, with

the support of individual

businesses and resort opera- /

tors, will be participating in
travel shows in Calgary,
Edmonton, and Vancouver
during the first three months of
the. new year.

According to Regional.

). Tourism Co-ordinator Earl

Hansen of Kimberley, one of
the principal reasons for the
travel show program is to
generate interest in the Koot-

enays as early as possible in the
new year, in light of predictions ©

that the 1977 season could be

another difficult one for British

Columbia's travel industry.
“There's no doubt about

it," said the tourist coordinator, ,,

“communities that don't get out
and promote themselves are
going to feel the pinch in 1977.”

“By putting together a
large impressive display in-
volving all interested  com-
munities and business from our
area, we will be able to have a
sizeable impact at these shows
and thereby influence the tra-
vel decisions of many of the
200,000 people who will be at-
tending,” Hansen added.

“The display booth will be
the main point of the pro-
motion,” he said, “but we are
also ‘looking at newspaper
coverage, radio and brochure
distribution in each of, the
cities.” i u

“Businesses or groups that
would like to participate in the

. travel show promotion,” said

Hansen, “or who have some
ideas or suggestions for the
display booth, should contact
the Kootenay Boundary Cham-
bera of Commerce as soon as
possible. ‘

March of next year, the meet-
ings will be held in the after-
noons, on the first and third

- Thursday of each month.

At the close of the business
Portion of the meeting, the
members enjoyed a social hour
and delicious refreshments
were served. :

Radio. ranges. throughout
Canada, being antiquated, have
been replaced in all but a few
locations, of which Castlegar is
one. However, the existing
radio range is very compatible
to the high Castlegar terrain.

The approach into Castle-
gar has been described as one
of the most difficult in the
world, due to the proximity of
the terrain and the navigational

aids located there. The ap-.

proach limits (the minimum
height to.which a. pilot may
descend while on an instrument
approach) are the highest in
Canada,

Should the radio range be
decommissioned, these limits
may prove unrealistic and may
have to be raised, which’ will
add to the frequency aircraft

Dear Sir; +

We'were recently in-

cedure at the Castlegar airport.
Our concern regarding the pro-

ready inadequate facility.

The present facility _in-
cludes two main. directional
beacons and a low-frequency
radio range, the latter facility
being the subject of the pro-
posed change. This facility is
comprised of two parts; one

Sct

being’ a ‘visual. direction in-
dicator presented in the cockpit
of the aircraft; the second being
an audible tone signal providing
Positive position information to
the pilot. é

It is the intention of the
MoT to remove this ‘audible
signal. *

The result of the proposed
change would surely have an
adverse effect on a pilot's
ability to carry out an instru-
ment approach and subsequent.
landing "in. adverse’ weather
conditions. In many instances,
the visual presentation is’ un-

reliable, whereas the aural

signal is accurate and useable.|

Therefore, the elimination
of the aural signal .will surely]
result-in more frequent flight|
cancellations and ‘over flights.

which are presently installed on
the Castlegar approach are
weak in signal, strength, es-
pecially noticeable © during
‘periods of. precipitation, ‘and’
there is only one sure means of
telling whether you are exactly
on course. That is by using the
aural ‘on course’ signal (which
in effect will be discontinued if
the radio range is decommis-
stoned).

The existing proven navi-
gational facility should not be
removed until a guidance
facility compatible with the
hazardous terrain is installed

have another Wabash or Fro-

Let us update, backup and

modern Track Guidance Locali-

before removing the present
facility, and restore the confi-

industry in safer approaches'to

I have been informed that
it-will be a matter of years
before Castlegar can expect
suitable back-up systems such
asa TGL and T/VOR, I
understand that one of the pro-
blems. of maintaining the
present radio range facility is
the shortage of parts.

With the disassembling of
most radio ranges throughout
British Columbia, let alone the
entire country, surely there can
be ample equipment and parts

if it has the single “honor of

Sunday's: session, dealt

with the era of spiritual leader #

Peter 'P.. Chistiakoff “and his
mission with the Doukhobor
people. Speaking on this parti-
cular period of history, Walter.
Lebedoff drew attention to the
extensive property-losses suf-
fered by the Doukhobor Com-
munity at the hands of fanatical
elements and the ‘losses
brought about by the receiver,

appointed on behalf of the

finance companies.

It seemed apparent that
one and the other sought the
destruction of the hard-earned
fruits of the communal toil. The
question posed was if there was
a possible collusion between the
two sources of destruction.

ssught about the life and teach-
ings of Peter Chistiakoff, whose
influence. still has so much
bearing upon the Doukhobors
in Canada.
