- Speaks of Surprising Evidence

federal transport department's

ly from versions of the accident
given by various officials since

. Forty-three crew and pas-
senger members—including
two Blueberry Creek women—
died after the Boeing 737

“I think the evidence that

the Kiwanis Scout Hall which is

For the past 23 years the
Kiwanis Club has sponsored the

Fowler has been a Kiwa-

Industrial Body Required

If the Regional District: of
Central Kootenay wants an in-,
dustrial development commis-
sioner to promote the area for
industry and tourism, it will
have to set up an entire com-
mission to oversee him,

The district has been told
it cannot take the shortcut of
simply hiring such a person and
have him or her work out of the
regional planning department.

It was hoped a commission
would not be needed and the
provincial grants still be collect-
ed. The government has ruled,
however, that unless an inde-
pendent industrial develop-
ment commission works with
the commissioner, no grants
will be forthcoming,

velopment in B.C., the province

Local Police
Report Very |
Quiet Weekend

"In spite of increased acti-
vities in the area with the
Selkirk Lions’ Trade Fair ‘78,
local RCMP reported a rela-
tively quiet weekend.

They responded to 83 com-
plaints which resulted in five
liquor seizures, one charge of
driving while impaired and two
separate charges of being
drunk in a public place.

Police report four motor
vehicle accidents, two of a
minor nature being hit and run
accidents involving parked
cars.

A single vehicle accident
was reported early Saturday
morning in which a Castlegar
man has been ‘charged with
@riving too fast for road con-
ditions.

Scott McKenzie was
charged or his 1977 Corvette

the aircraft had begun to land,
then tried to take off again
after the pilot apparently saw
the snowblower on the runway
in front of the aircraft.

Five days after the crash,
Alan Jay, a federal transport
spokesman, said the 797 pilot
had radioed in the only warning
of his approach that was re-
quired. Jay also said the radio
in the snowblower could re-
ceive calls from the airport's
air-radio operator but not mes-
sages from aircraft to the air-
field.

The airport does not have a
control tower.

Bill Almoliky, a federal
transport spokesman, said last
Wednesday he could not com-
ment on the accuracy of Col-
gur's statements,

. He said, however, that
timing for release of the in-
vestigation’s final report has_
again been delayed—it now is
not expected to be ready before
the end of May or early June.

The delay has been caused
by difficulty in transcribing a
flight recorder tape; ‘nearly
destroyed when the plane went
down,

“damage iter it‘left the road

near the Hugh Keenleyside
Dam and hit a cement curb,

No injuries have been re-
ported in a 4:20 p.m. accident
the same day which involved
two vehicles at Columbia Ave-
nue and Woodland Drive.

Police said a 1977 station-
wagon, driven by Jean Lind of
Castlegar, was turning left into’
the Super Valu parking lot
when it was struck in the rear
by a 1972 Chevy driven by
Lorrie Dale Steininger of Sal-
mo.

Steininger, whose vehicle
sustained $1,200 damage, has
been ‘charged with driving
without due care and attention.
The Lind vehicle is reported to
have approximately $1,000
damage.

Other incidents reported
included the theft of two cases
of beer and one bottle of rum
from a parked vehicle in the
Marlane Hotel parking lot; the
break and entry of a travel
trailer parked on Woodland
Drive in which nothing appears
missing, and the theft of two
six-volt batteries from a sal-
vaging outfit. on Sahlstrom
Road.
