Or a com- mitment to education with pure intentions? Dr. Margaret Fulton, who was appointed by three min- istries of the provincial govern- ment in December.to chair a review of post-secondary educa- tion in the Kootenays, says it’s a mixture of both: Speaking to Thé Sun Monday evening after touring throughout Castlegar seeking individual, industrial and business represen- tatives’ views On the current post- secondary education system, Fulton admitted that the review initiative may have been born out of politics—but that’s where it ends. “That's usually the way the process works. Somebody makes promises, and has to do some- thing about them later,” said Ful- ton. But the process is different in this case, said Fulton. Instead of just allowing a payoff to occur, this government is researching d by politics, but by the research and submissions of the review itself.” 8 follow some accusations by others that Nelson-Creston MLA Corky Evans made promises during an election—promises that he would See FULTON 3A Fulton's c Snow-packs KAREN KERKHOFF still below normal, despite snowfall Sun staff feet below normal. Even with the generous amount of snow the Kootenays has had so far this year, the Arrow Lake water level is expected to be about ten BC Hydro spokesperson, Verne Prior, said the current snow pack, which has just been measured by BCH technicians, might still not be enough to bring the Arrow Lakes up to normal levels, “Our early forecasts show the run-off collected above the Columbia will be about 88 per cent of normal. The data is still being analyzed. But if that’s the case, the Arrow Lakes will be about ten feet below full Depending on the amount of precipitation, this level could shift by ten feet in either direction.” Prior was unable to say whether water levels on the Columbia River and the Arrow Lakes would reach record lows as they did last year. “All the reservoirs are managed in the most effective way possi- ble, but the water levels depend on a whole list of variables, such as the need for power dowhstream.” Witnesses to attempted rescue Say professionals incompetent KAREN KERKHOFF Sun staff Serious allegations are being made by a Ymir man regarding the length of ‘ime, and the man ner in which the Castlegar Ambu lance Service used the Jaws of Life to free a victim during an automobile accident, Jan. 3 Marty Hamilton, his brother Kelly Hamilton and Charmaine Langley, were on the scene of an accident near Fairview, which involved a head-on collision between a truck and a Honda car that was driven by Patrick Hick ey, 25, of New York Marty Hamilton is accusing the Castlegar Ambulance of neg ligence in their use of the Jaws of Life, and the way in which they managed to free Hickey from his vehicle ° Fhe Hamiltons-and Langley were on their way to Trail when they came upon the accident soon after it occurred “When we arrived at the acci- dent there there. The RCMP or ambulance hadn't even arrived yet.’ Hamilton said the tow truck was parked in the middle of the road, with its lights focused on the back of the truck which was accident. Another vehicle, the one Which contained Hickey and his passenger, was not visible to Hamilton, and traf fic had come to a standstill due to wreckage which was blocking the was only a tow truck involved in tt road. “The tow truck driyer was walking alongside the vehicles When he came to our vehicle, my brother, Kelly asked if we could help. All the tow truck driver said to us was “pretty major, pretty major.” Hamilton said he, his brother Kelly, and Langley remained in their vehicle for at least one hour, and were growing increasingly Downstream benefits issue of the ‘90s for Sun Editor Preliminary discussions between provincial, regional and local politicians re jing Columbia River Downstream Benefits have opened a spillway of potential benefits as well as controversy for the West Koote nay Provincial government offi- cials Anne Edwards, minister of energy, mines and petroleum resources, and David Zirnhelt minister of economic develop ment, small business and trade were in Castlegar this weekend to discuss with representatives from five regional districts and two local MLAs the upcoming negotiations on what is referred to as the ‘Canadian Entitlement.’ The Canadian Entitlement is Canada’s share (one-half) of the extra power produced in the U.S as a result of the Columbia River Treaty.

Finally, Marty gave in to the restlessness and decided he would investigate the situation further. “I started getting antsy, so I went down to the scene first, and Kelly and Charmaine stayed in the car. When I arrived there was someone who was trying to unfreeze the hydraulic fittings for the motor which runs the prying part of the Jaws of Life.
