Iam caught in the middle. I love my-husband, but I love my parents, too. Mike doesn’t mind when mom and dad come to our place. He is chatty and hospitable, and you would never know there was a problem. I'm wondering if Mike hasn't been a good sport long enough. Maybe I should spare him the discomfort and go alone when I want to see my parents. Or shall I quit going and tell them the reason? Hea i — Catholic Wife Dear Wife: Apparently the situation has been rocking along OK for 18 years. I cay, leave it alone. In other words, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Mike sounds like a prince to put up with those rock-headed bigots. Sorry to talk this way about your parents, but I tell it like it is. You are lucky to have aman who is able to . be so gracious in the face of such ignorance. Dear Ann Landers: I have wondered a lot lately if there is more sexual activity going on, or are people just more open about it? Folks have been writing to you for years to ask if they are oversexed or undersexed. They also want to know if their spouses are too demanding or not demanding enough. Until now I had no idea where my husband and I stood in this regard, but I found the answer in the “Book of Averages” by Barry Tarshis. Maybe you would like to share this - information with your readers. It appears under "SEX: How Often?” Couples from 18 years of age to 24 — 12 times a month | Couples from 25 to 34 — 8 to 11 times a month Couples 35 and older — 8 times a month Couples 45 and older — 4 times a month So now you have an idea of what the average is, Ann. I hope it helps. . — Bird Watcher in Jackson Dear Bird: I have yet to meet a person who considers himeelf for herself) “average.” That designation is for others. The numbers do provide a frame of reference, however, and I thank you for passing on the information. Dear Ann Landers: My fiance and I will be getting married in a few months. We have lived together for two years, and during that time have furnished a five-room house. Since we are not in need of the usual wedding gifts, would it be wrong to include on the wedding invitations “Monetary Gifts preferred?” My mother seems to think it would be in extremely poor taste. We say in light of the present economy it's OK to be ; practical: May we have your opinion? — New York Dear N.Y.: No matter what happens to the economy, people should not become so crass that they would print a request for money on a wedding invitation.

The link from Syringa Creek to Fauquier would be about 40 miles long, Evin said in the presentation, but various roads developed by the highways ministry and forest service in the proposed route area are already in use. “For instance, from Syringa Creek to Deer Park is a distance of some 16 miles,” he said. “Coming from the Fauquier side toward Deer Park’ (Canadian Cellulose) have developed some 20 miles.

The brief said the provincial highways ministry has spent travel from Syringa Creek to Fauquier by four-wheel-drive, a a of $500,000 providing necessary access to present residents of Deer Park since 1971. 4 Cylinder 3 3°° : Cylinder 39°° 8 Cylinder 43 Each 860-13 Each G60-14 $54 ee G60-15 no $55 Wide 60 series polyester fiberglass belted.

IAS caterer ‘No support for ‘frivolous’ RDCK motion Central Kootenay directors’ request for Castlegar's support of their motion that West Kootenay Power and Light Co. Ltd. build the proposed Murphy Creek dam won only ridicule from Ald. Len Embree this week. Embree, Castlegar's al- ternate representative on the regional district board, des- cribed as frivolous and ex- pensive the lengthy April 19 resolution asking Premier Bill Bennett and Energy Minister Bob McClelland re- consider the provincial en- ergy policy and approve West Kootenay rather than B.C. Hydro as the builder and operator of the proposed 400- aos megawatt dam about 23 kil- ometres downstream from Castlegar on the Columbia River. Speaking at council's Tuesday meeting, he said he had difficulty taking the RDCK request for support seriously. “It seems the regional INCLUDED IN the premfer's tour oft! riding Friday (was an ip Village making these available to the public WM District of Central Kootenay has also ie dam, B.C. Hydro has now subdivided lots and are filled up too,” he said. “We want our cabins alongside the lake too.” Most area residents would support the Syringa-Fauquier route, he said. “A majority of the people will definitely be receptive to it, with the exception of the odd one who would probably oppose it,” Evin said. by the RDCK ittee that d Syrii yring The provision for the ‘auquier highway link in the yet-to-bi d Lowwer Lake settlement plan be dthe jal in this area and my understanding is that they are in the process’ of preparing a Ina Wednesday interview and plan.” Evin told the Castlegar News that although he has promoted the route for at least nine years he was confident Bennett would be more receptive to the proposal now because “everything points to Castlegar.” . “People obtaining land all the way up the leke wil! help pay fon this road,” he added. “And along the lake we have Syringa Creek Park and the (Hugh Keenleyside) dam and the {CanCel) pulp mill and that creates tourist attractions.” The lack of ib! in the region has resulted in pressure from Castlegar area residents for development of lakeside land, he said. “In meetings with the regional district we stressed to them the fact that we cannot go to Christina Lake because it's filled up, we can't go down to Kootenay Bay because it's all aw, Ey ‘ossland-Trail that PP before officially where he the at the D ingled with the, crowd ao K Fe Historical Society's new audio-visual centre. district seems to be getting further and further out into tangents,” Embree said. “Now they're in a posi- tion where they're recom- mending through 11 ‘where- ases’ that the provincial gov- ernment turn over the con- struction of a dam we don’t even know is going to be built Warning to Castlegar pensioners: Pension and so- cial assistance reci- pients affected by Castlegar’s new street renumbering scheme should en- sure their cheques carry their new ad- dresses after the June 1 changeover, according to Ald. Albert Calderbank. Calderbank, city coun- cil's i i chairman, this week listed that concern raised by resi- dents on fixed incomes among the public's reactions to the renumeration plan, which is expected to affect most Castlegar households. . “If it’s the Canada Pen- sion Plan people will be noti- fied and they're taken care of,” Calderbank said.° “But there are many private pension schemes where they're not, and they should do the notification themselves.” Fixed-i way anybody's particularly happy about this. Nobody ever would be.” Reactions included one relying on the mail for cheques should ensure noti- fication of the change is made even at the risk of being redundant, he said. “You can never do any harm doubling up,” the plan- LOCKING GAS CAP PAT wow 97 “Each Each Protect your gas!

Council's contrite ac- tion was in response to an April 23 letter from George MacAndrew, Grace Miffed local churchman gets apology for brochure gaffe Presbyterian Church con- gregation president, say- ing the failure of the city- commissioned brochure to include the church in its list of places of worship “caused i con- this congregation by you is such that I have been in- structed to require an apology for your disres- pect.” Acting mayor Ald. Al- bert C *. daceribed cern” to congregation members. “Grace Presbyterian Church has served this area in excess of 35 years and is considered the old- est providing this service,” MacAndrew said in the letter. “The indignity cast on the omission as “an un-. fortunate oversight which occurred when the bro- chures were printed in the initial stages.” In a later reprint of the brochure, Calderbank said, the name and address of the church will be up- dated. ning said, “You can never overdo that sort of thing but you can* underdo it” But the need for en- suring the cheques are prop- erly addressed “doesn't mean you've got to suddenly get in a panic,” he said. Existing addresses, jhe said, will be honored by Canada Post for one full year after the changeover date. Commenting generally on the reaction of affected residents to the renumbering plan, Calderbank said most inquiries on the scheme have been “constructive.” “There are a few com- plaints but you're bound to get this,” he said. “They don't like the street names or somebody’s had the number 18 foisted on them or some- thing like that. There's no business "3 sugges- tion that the city reimburse Castlegar businesses facing substantial expense as a re- sult of the changeover, the planning chairman said. “But if you give com- J. yet to West Kootenay Power. If it wasn't kind of tragic it would be funny.” The tragic aspect is the cost to the taxpayer of con- vening the body appointed by the RDCK board to draft the Murphy Creek project res- olution, he said, as well as the expense of other ad hoc com- mittees. “Of course, every time they have a committee meet- ing that’s another $200 or $33 for the taxpayers to carry,” Embree said. “From the City of Castlegar’s point of view, when we start looking at all these expenses for resolu- tions that are methodic as this one it becomes rather an expensive pastime.” “When you compare West Kootenay or any other company that size with West you have to give compensation to More on page A2 Koot "s opportunity to borrow $800 million at the present rate and what that's rejected in favor of a Passmore-Fauquier route over the Selkirk mountain range drew sharp criticism from Ald, Albert Calderbank at Tuesday's city council meeting.

I want to see the wants of the people considered, not the wants of the technicians.” Council feels development of the Passmore route would be “detrimental to the city in many ways," he said, while the more direct route the Syringa-Fauquier link would provide to Nakusp would be ‘better suited to all weather and “provide recreation facilities for everybody.” 2 More on page A2 Back up police, chairman urges Get involved. That was the message city council's protective services ‘committee: chairman had Tuesday for Cas- tlegar residents wish- ing. to curb the high incidence of van- dalism and related of- fences in the area. Reporting to city council this week on his ittee's ing the efforts of police to enforce the law. Although police register and follow. up officially every complaint made, they do not have“ the “authority to lay charges of disturbing the peace, the protective service chairman said. He said resi- dents reporting such distur- bances have a responsibility to lay charges against the offenders. “In situations where 's recent meeting with mem- bers of the Castlegar RCMP detachment, Ald. Len Em- bree stressed the importance of the public's role in re- porting offences and support- going to cost, our expec- tations as a regional district to receive lower blocks of power on that type of a fi- nancial structure rather than a dam build and maintained by a Crown corporation are pretty ridiculous,” he said. “Every person in the city of Castlegar pays $8 a year to maintain the RDCK,"” he continued. “So these friv- olous approaches to things become expensive rather than just humorous.” Ald. Albert Calderbank noted that although the or you've seen somebody des- troying park property, for example, I think it’s the res- ponsibility of the community to phone them up, say who it is, and give them some support when they come around to investigate,” Em- bree said. “We can’t just phone up and say ‘I don’t want to say who this is but there is going to be a big problem on Sixth Avenue’ and expect anything to be done about it.” Embree noted that van- dalism, reportedly becoming “the largest, most unrecog- nized and unsolved, and cost- liest crime in B.C, if not across Canada,” has started to affect even communities the size of Castlegar. “I think it's important that if we're going to have any success at all in dealing with the types of problems that are starting to confront us we're going to have to give won sup- port at the Association of Kootenay Boundary Munici- palities convention here late last month, city representa- tives did not endorse it. Ald. Gerald Rust also spoke against supporting the RDCK motion, saying he did not feel the city “is in a More on page A2 to that police force,” he said. “Those people are em- ployed by the city and they're not reneging on that contractual agreement.
