Members of the Stanley

classmates met on Tuesday night
in the High School Band Room.

Rotary Youth Exchange get-

Students meet about this'time and,

the returning Castlegar students,
Wendy Gouk (Germany), daugh
ter‘of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Gouk,
and Shelley Miscavitch (Den-

John Miscavitch, presented the

program. Masters of Ce ry
were Rotary candidates Bonnie
MacDonald, daughter of Cam
and Gay MacDonald and Seanan
Sharp, son of David and Beverly
Sharp, Sarah Sutherland and a
third candidate were not at the
concert

It was, as usual, an evening
filled with laughter and entertain-

that diffe in cultures, once

This year, four inbound stu-

Japan and Rodrigo Barbosa, with

accepted, paradoxically provides
bonds of fellowship. Also, mis-
conceptions of customs abound
on both sides of the world thus
Castlegar listeners were a little
surprised to learn for example
that the normal means of travel in
Europe even for students, is the
train. Visiting students on the
other hand were greatly relieved

to Jedi that very few Canadians
are “attacked by their savage sled
dogs” or die under thejr collapsed
igloos, =Barbasa-also’ assured his
listeners that contrary to popular
belief, volleyball and not soccer,
was Brazil's most popular sport
“Soccer,” he said with a’sly wit,
“is areligion.”

Barbosa, who had attended
Rotary dinner meeting earlier and
thanked the Rotarians for the
“best year of life,” was accompa.
nied by his father Ercirio and his
uncle Donizete, who recently
arrived from Sa Jose. Do Rio,
Brazil. They all left together for
home, driven the next morning
for the first leg of their journey
by Rotary Presideht Dave Gairns

The route was round-about
one, Gairns first drove them to
the coast for a brief visit to Van-
couver ant Victoria, He then
drove them to Banff and Calgary,
(“to see the mountain and the
mall”) and then to Edmonton
where they flew back to Brazil
making short stops at Toronto,
Ottawa and New York. Through
translator Bonny Gairns they
thanked the audience and the citi-
zens of Castlegar for their
warmth and hospitality.

Bill Furey, Rotary Student
éxchange sponsor introduced the
program and Ron Ross, Rotary

», District 508 student program

coordinator, thanked the parents
and participants.

Heritage Society has city's ear

KAREN KERKHOFF
Sun staff

The Castlegar and District Her
itage Society might get their wish
for a full-time co-ordinator,
thanks to encouraging negotia
tions, and a’city clerk who had
researched the subject.

Heritage president John Coyle,
City Clerk Diane Kunz, and Her
itage treasurer Charlie Horrey,
Met to discuss an earlier financial
request which was submitted by
the Society in January for
$55,000. Coyle left the meeting
with optimism and an apprecia-
tion for Kunz's obvious prepara-
tion for the meeting.

“I'm very optimistic. I think it
was a very positive meeting and it
was a delight to work with some-
one like that (Kunz). She had
taken the time to research things
and organize ifself. I was
impressed.”

Calculated into the request was
$25,000 which the Society intend-
ed to be used towards the hiring
of a full-time co-ordinator. The
Society has until now, only oper-
ated seasonally, thereby leaving
them ineligible for grants. In
order to obtain any grants the
Heritage Society must be a full-
time operation

The Society would also like the
city to shoulder some of the finan-

cial load, for expenditures such as
maintenance, and power costs.
Coyle said he feels the request is
not unreasonable as the Heritage
Society attracts added revenue to
Castlegar. “We do generate a lot
of money for this town. We could
generate more if we weren't worn
out doing everyday things. This is
where a full-time co-ordinator
would help.”

Coyle also defends the request
for a full-time co-ordinator by
rationalizing that-the city could
recoup most of it's expenses
incurred by the Society through
grants which the city would then
be eligible to/receive.

“There could be several grants,
and the cost to the city would be
less. We believe they can recover
a lot of that cost.”

Coyle also said the request for
$55,000 is flexible, but the
request for funding for a full-time
co-ordinator is not. However,
Coyle is optimistic that an agree-
ment can be reached between the
City and the Heritage Society.

“At the meeting we opened a
lot of doors that should have been
opened before.”

Kunz will be taking @ financial -
