L ‘West NDP can- brated by West esi dents on April 30 at Birchbank Park. Approximately 200 men, women, and children attended the picnic and listened to the speakers., Alderman Len Embree, a local carpenter, gave a rousing speech on the historical im- portance of May Day—the only day of the year which com- memorates the achievements of our nation’s true resource; her people.

Bob Russell, Parks Branch each carried a bouquet of yellow daisies and white mums. Mr. Dan MacDonald of Squamish was best man and ushering duties were shared by Mr. Fritz Furtner of Castlegar and Mr. Jeff Tinney, the bride's brother from Squamish.

But it's not working. Although many people are happy to accommo- date branch staff when asked to leash dogs or remove them from beach areas, others totally ignore the request. “C, in floor-length blue p featuring a V-neckline and. a long-sleeved net jacket.

A campground is being constructed this year and the branch will enforce the dog on leash regulation immedi- ately to reduce. the number of incidents, At present the problem is in the picnic area, and it could get out of hand once the camp- ground is built if the branch doesn't enforce regulations. Security will also be in- creased in some parks this year and part of the day-watch patrolman’s duties will be to enforce regulations to control dogs at large. - “It's unfortunate that the parks branch must take such steps," Russell said, “but parks in the Kootenays were created Results From Joy Keillor Bridge Club Seven-and-a-half tables participated in Monday night’s play at the Joy Keillor Bridge Club with the following results: North-South Average: 72.

Hydro has assured U.S. power authorities it plans to build the Kootenay Diversion as soon as possible —despite statements that it has not yet made a decision ‘on the project. According to MP Bob Brisco, that was the develop- ment revealed in a recent letter from the Bonneville Power Administration to a Kootenay West constituent. Brisco told the Regional District of Central Kootenay board of directors Saturday the letter, signed by Bonne- ville Power secretary Charles Cancilla, said the U.S, power company had based. its schedule for the diversion on B.C, Hydro’s commitment to start con- struction at the earliest possible date. Although he did not produce a copy of the letter or name the constituent to whom it had been sent, Brisco told the Castlegar News the second paragraph of Cancilla’s letter said: — Decision Already Made? — “B.C. Hydro and Power Authority has notified us that it is its intention to do so as early as possible and our future power studies now reflect this.” B.C. Hydro and Bonne- vitle Power administer plans for the diversion, as well as other projects covered by the 1984 Columbia River Treaty, on behalf of their respective governments. Hydro genera! manager Charles Nash said in Nelson last Wednesday the Crown: owned power company had not yet decided whether to approve of the Kootenay River into. the Columbia. In response to Brisco's report, RDCK board mem- bers voted to notify the provincial government that + they would consider holding areferendum on the planned diversion during RDCK elec- tions in November. (See story on Page Al.) Nash was unavailable - for comment on statements in the letter. Health Unit's Schmitt Cites Need for Expansion Rotary Health Centre Overcrowded Castlegar's Rotary Health Centre is overcrowded and in need of expansion, according to the director of the West Kootenay health unit. Dr. Nick Schmitt, in an - April 27 letter to the health + ministry, cited several years of | rapid Castlegar area population growth and the large number of affiliated staff using the build- ing with the implementation of new programs as the causes of the overcrowding. He said in the letter the population of Castlegar and the outlying areas served by the centre rose by 6,000 to 18,000 between 1972 and 1976, and the Two City Groups Get $17,726 Under YCW The Kootenay West alloca- tion, announced last week by Employment Minister Bud Cul- vlen, will create 65 jobs for students and provide about 765 .weeks of work, Castlegar's Kootenay So- ciety for the Handicapped sum- mer enrichment program for special needs children has been . funded for $8,600 to hire three students for 18 weeks each, Castlegar Golf Club will receive $9,126 to hire four students for approximately 14 weeks each, to complete the new clubhouse. Young Canada Works is a federal job creation program designed to alleviate student summer unemployment by en-. abling established groups and organizations to sponsor em- ployment generating projects in areas of community need. All employees are hired through the Canada Employ- ment Centre for Students (pre- viously called Manpower) in Nelson, school board “predicts an in- crease of 500 new families in the next year.” fi The letter said more than 12 full-time and part-time staff use the building, which includes a reception and home care office, a conference and waiting room as well as four offices on its main floor, and a basement which includes a prenatal room, homemaker office and storage rooms, “Every room is fully or doubly utilized and there is a shortage of storage space for supplies,” Dr. Schmitt said in the letter. “Expansion is the only answer.” . Growing staff at the centre requires the addition of at least a storage room, a conference waiting room and four offices to accommodate home care, Jong term care, and mental health programs, as well as the fourth local health nurse who will eventually be required at the centre, the. letter said. Dr. Schmitt's letter: point- ed out that the centre “is one of the few, if not the only one” built on hospital grounds. He said the ministry would be required to discuss fully any plans for expansion with the Castlegar and District Hospital board, “As probation and human resources (services) in Castle- gar are renting space for their office needs at present, the possibility must also be con- sidered of a multi-disciplinary government building either at the hospital site or elsewhere in Castlegar at another location,” he said in the letter. “It would certainly appear wise to add.this project to your list of priorities and it would seem desirable that this entire matter be discussed soon and in more detail with you or one of your administrative assistants during a personal visit to the area,” The health unit director said in the letter he was unable to give “a definite indication” that the Central Kootenay Re- gional Hospital District or a local service club would agree - Our long distance weekend rz to sponsor the expansion pro- ject. ‘ Discussing the letter Saturday, the CKRHD board of directors voted to refer it to the region's hospital advisory com- mittee for i Veterinarian Dr. K.
