Residents of the Spokane, Wash, area now know that when the communities of British Columbia's Kootenay Region put together a travel display they do it in a blg way, Proof of southeastern British Columbia's “Think Big” philosophy came Jan. 12, the opening day of the 1977 Spo- kane Boat Show, when a 600 square foot “Kootenay Coun- try"’ display made’ its first public appearance and was ac- claimed by boat show officials as, “One of the most popular and best run exhibits we have ever had”, A total of nearly 20,000 boating enthusiasts, fishermen, hikers, campers, and outdoor men from the Spokane area come by the “Kootenay Coun- try” booth during the five day run‘of the boat show. The Kootenay display was complimented by a staff of 20 volunteers from area business: es, Chambers of Commerce and community groups. Sharron Mann, the current Miss Nelson, also was in Spo- kane to help out at the booth, The Kootenay booth was a _ joint project of the -tourism committees of the Kootenay Boundary Chambers of Com- merce and eight area com- . munities: Balfour, Cranbrook, Fairmont, Invermere, Kaslo, Nakusp, Nelson and Radium. Each of the participating communities made a financial contribution to cover the cost of * booth construction, rental of space, advertising, and other associated costs, Atop each of the maps is a six foot electronically —pro- grammed sign boldly pro- claiming “Kootenay Country" in large gold-fleck letters, A closed circuit television syatem is located between the meps showing full color travel films on a continuous basis. Participating communities have an individual display area to put out brochures, pictures, and a scrap book ‘on local at- tractions and facilities, , In addition to the Spokane promotion, the display will be taken to travel shows in Van- couver, Edmonton and Calgary during, February and March, Kootenay region tourism coordinator Earl Hansen said he was very’ pleased by the * reception the booth was given in Spokane. “A large number of the people who came by the dis- play,” said the tourism co-. ordinator, “were familiar with _ the Kootenays but had not visited the area for three or four years" “The Boat Show” Mr. Han- sen added, “permitted us to personally invite these people back and acquaint them with some of the new facilities and attractions that had been built in the Kootenays in the last few Mr. Hansen went on to say that many of those who stopped by the booth indicated they would likely come back to the Kootenays in 1977. “Even though Spokane is Justa few hours away,” said the F also agreed to provide suf- ficient staff to look after their section of the booth. . The display itself was built by Ernie Shauer of Balfour over a six week period, Two relief maps, each four by five feet in size, are central features of the display. : The maps show the entire Kootenay/Boundary area with emphasis on the mountains, lakes, rivers, roads and com- munities of the region. © SOFAS & CHAIRS tourism “we have to go down there every now and then to remind those good people we are here and want them to visit us”. Mr. Hansen said the volunteers who staffed the Kootenay Display did an excel- lent job in handling the ques- tions that were put to them, “This whole display was a community effort and shows - what we in the Kootenays can do if we set our minds to it,” said Mr. Hansen. ‘Voice of the People Ce a Ta a a aT le tal BRT Back to Family and God itor, Castlegar News: te read with interest the two letters in last week's paper, protesting items submitted the previous week regarding day care centres, strikes and the administration of justice. Thad clipped out two of the items, so promptly went to check on the third one {it having escaped from being burnt), and cut it out, also, I had already read it—“If Day | Care Centres Existed -When Jesus was Born to Mary". Most interesting! Since it seeris to be the thing to give forth one’s views on everything these days, I © shall put in my two cents’ worth, We have come so far from what God intended for his creation—for the home, the family, the man and woman, the childron, the individual. ’: Of course wo have to have day care centres, but the strong family is what God had in mind at the beginning, with the man under God as head of the home. We forget that “mati was made in the image of God"— Genesis 1:27. He has abdicated his unique position in God's order of things, > Tt is significant that God sent Jesus to earth, not asa woman, but as a man, When fathers haven't taken their rightful place of strength and authority in the home, how can sons and daughters be expected © to establish strong homes or even the semblance of such? No, we need to get back to God, and a simple. and Joyous way of living. Mra. W.L. Brown - Castlegar Photography Brings Out Winter's Beauty Beauty lurks in all of win- ter's multitudinous phases. For the amateur picture- taker every change of atmos- phere, every vagary of form and monochromatic scene be- comes a delightful subject. For those camera enthusi- asts who will venture into the pictora) world of winter, it is advisable to dress for the oc- -casion. You'll take better pic- cures when you are comfort- able. Your handgear is most im- portant. If you wear thin cotton, silk or synthetic gloves inside your mittens, you'll be able to handle your camera for short periods without chilling your fingers and lessening your dexterity. Generally speaking, it's a good idea to keep your camera’ warm, for it is’ a precision instrument designed to work best in the range of 45 to 85 degrees F." You'll want your front-opening parka to be big enough to zip over the camera when the wind starts whipping around. When you keep your” camera warm, the batteries, if you have batteries, can supply their normal flow of energy to the exposure meter, flash or film advance. Use alkaline bat- - teries when possible, ‘and. if temperatures are expected to drop out of sight, keep some spare batteries in an inside pocket, To combat static fogging and possible breakage of chilled, brittle film, advance and rewind your film slowly and with a steady motion. When you snow blows into your camera, brush it off, for as. the snow melts, harmful moisture wilb collect. -No matter how sophisti- cated or simple your photo equipment may be, successful wintry shots depend on your perceptive eye. Therefore, educate yourself to see and you will discover the beauties in- herent in the simplest snow- bound scenes.
