Gypsum solutions

around the corner —

Martin Meyer
RECYCLE ADVISORY GROUP

Are you sitting in a room
that has gyproc walls? Most
houses and office buildings
have some gyproc in them.

What happens to the old
gypsum wallboard when peo-
ple renovate? In the Castlegar
area it most likely ends up in
our community landfill. Un-
fortunately we don’t have
many alternatives in this part
of the province.

In the Lower Mainland,
where there is a much larger
- population, gypsum wall
the Greater Vancouver Re-
gional District landfills in
1984. It was believed that a
noxious H2S gas was formed
se decomposed in the land-

The ban led to the estab-
lishment of a gypsum repro-
cessing in New West-
minster. Today the reprocess-
ing plant deals with a sub-
stantial portion of the wall-
board. entering the Lower
Mainland waste stream.

The Ministry of Environ-
ment recently commissioned a

Recycling
and
You

study of the gypsum issue. The
recommendations included es-
tablishing fines for improper
dumping; a requirement for
proof of proper disposal of
wallboard waste from renova-
tion sites; and disallowing
dumping of gypsum into land-
Lae private and federal

It was also recognized that
it would be unlikely that an
economically viable gypsum
reprocessing facility would be
built in the interior of the
province. Two policy options
were proposed: increasing tip-
ping fees for gypsum waste at
interior ; and/or trans-
portation subsidies to allow
gypsum waste to be trucked to
the Lower Mainland.

Look around you. Those
walls may end up in New
Westminster some day.

Heritage society tries again

Special meeting called
to elect new board of
officers and recruit new
members —

John Charters
The Castlegar and District
Society meets in spe-
cial session on Jan. 16 to elect
a board of officers to complete
see currént year which ends in
May.

Late last year, following the
resignation of several capable
officers, the society met to fi-
nalize business for the year
1991. At that meeting a nom-
inations committee was ap-
pointed — Ray Gattinger,
Charley Horrey and John

Charters as chairman — to_
prepare an interim slate of of-
ficers for 1992.

“In eight years, we have
gone from nothing to a widely
recognized community asset
and have secured two essen-
tial aspects of our local cultur-
al and historic heritage, the
Castlegar Rail Station and the
Chapel House and island
park,” Charters said.

“We have wide recognition
in the community and in offi-
cial circles. This is Phase One
of our heritage/tourist devel-
opment. It has been achieved
at considerable cost to the

- health and energies of the past
executive.” :

For Phase Two, the com-
mittee is preparing a new

slate of officers. As well, in
view of the greatly expanded
expectations of the society and
with a new government in Vic-
toria, it is also making a num-
ber of suggestions for stream-
lining its administration and
broadening its scope with re-
spect to the Castlegar and dis-
trict heritage-tourism picture
and the opening of the station
and Chapel House in May.

With this in mind the com-
mittee is suggesting that the
new executive give early con-
sideration to obtaining an ex-

ecutive assistant to help as

community liaison and staff
administrator.

Thursday's meeting is
scheduled for 7 p.m. at the
Castlegar Rail Station.

Tri-city project gears up with
survey work near completion

The Tri-City Health Promo-
tion Project is close to com-
pleting several surveys taken
in the Castlegar area.

This is a $300,000, two-year
research and demonstration
project sponsored by the Cen-
tral Kootenay Union Board of
Health and funded by the B.C.
Health Research Foundation:
Trail, Castlegar and Nelson
make up the communities in-
volved in the project.

The health promotion pro-
ject will identify a health issue
which each community can be-
come involved with. The pro-
motion project mission is to

encourage active participation
of the public in developing
strategies to achieve the high-
est possible level of wellness,
physical, mental and spiritual,
for the Castlegar area and its
citizens.

“Community leaders,

health groups, and citizens
will be given the opportunity
to participate in this project, a
project that will be of benefit
to all,” said Cal Him, public re-
lations spokesman.

“We expect this project to
become.a role model for other
B.C. communities and we
have received national inter-
est as well,” added Marilyn
Gauthier, Castlegar facilitator
and local contact.

Barry DePaoli is gathering
information in School District
No. 9 with essays, posters and
surveys. Rev. Dorothy Barker
is surveying the ministerial
council and the churches.
Gauthier has surveyed over 50
service organizations and
agencies.

Meanwhile, volunteers

Ireland flavor to
performer’s already
diversified mix of jazz,
rock and country.

Stephen Fearing is back
with a remedy for post-Christ-
mas blues — a solo concert on
Jan. 17 at the Capitol Theatre
in Nelson:

In just a few short years,
Fearing has emerged as one of
the brightest new talents on
today’s music scene, a news re-
lease from the theatre said.

After spending 11 years in
Ireland, the music of the Van-
couver-native has been de-

as combining snatches
of Celtic influence, bits ofjazz,
blues, rock and country.

Since the release of his de-
but album, Out to Sea, Fear-
ing has toured extensively
across the U.S.A. on a bill that
included Ferron, Connie
Kaldor and James Keelaghan.
While touring across Canada,
he received rave reviews in-
cluding the following from the
Winnipeg Free Press:

“Fearing was riveting. A

ate strokes. The next he was
dynamic and __ sensitive,
singing and picking with com-
plete authority but, more im-
portant, reverence for the
mood.”

While in England, he
recorded his second release,
Blue Line, which showcases
his unique talents in an evoca-
tive light. One such composi-
tion is the powerful Turn Out
the Lights, which deals with a
subject rarely mentioned in

“He would play Satie, Bach

Fearing’s early influences
included Jim Croce and Paul
Simon. And later when bands

along to reveal Irish music in
its rich, full traditional com-
