t A4 CASTLEGAR NEWS, October 28, 1981 Hold By BARBARA BULLARD The Kootenays is the only rural region of British Colum- bia noteworthy for its crafts. Until now, we were only worthy of note. It is truly significant that we pulled off asuccessful crafts confegpnce of nearly 100 people here in Castlegar. Rubbins Should- ers brought us some very special people. Five successful craftsper- sons; among them a potter, a woodworker, a fibre special- ist, a fashion designer and & ceramics sculpturess opened events by expanding our visions. These are award- winning Canadians, folks with international reputa- tions, telling us warmheart- edly of their personal sources of inspiration. You may recognize your- self in these gelanings: “I came from a history of doing without” Danny Pancake. “I struggle everyday like you do.” “Your mountains are 50 great. Ours (in Quebec) are little peanuts.” {In art) “I try to give them the joy I get from the mountains” - Mar- iette ing. We heard curators, gall- ery directors and the presi- dent of the B.C. Craftsmen Association, The need to organize and lobby was reit- erated. The usual sets of benefits that automatically go to business and industry do not get to the crafts- person, who is often thought Good feelings generated in this first morning set the tone for the entire weekend. A second group of five identified resources and ways to creat opportunities. Crafts in B.C. deserve to be noticed and revered. Beau- tiful objects are here, made with love. Marketing them is ber ing in the bush. It is conferences like this that will bring out the ruminators, or, at least, their fine pro- ducts, The summer of '81 right up to October, had tourists (20,000 of them) sifting down through scenic Cape Horn toward Nelson just looking for a memento to buy and Meanwhile, at Rubbing salesman to market. the ministry of tourism.

Kenigon, Valley TV returning soon Slocan Valley residents can _ Fest assured — their favorite CBC television programs will soon be back on the air. Residents in some areas have been without The Beachcombers, Front Page Challenge and other familiar CBC television programs ever since service was cut several weeks ago. The service interruption was a result of a CBC decision to provide its own signal to the area. Rather than duplicate the CBC sign’: the local. television sogiety, decided to switch its equip- ment to CTV. pelt However, CBC then ran into delays, creating a gap in its service — much to the chargrin of many in the valley. In a prepared release, West, Kootenay MP Lyle Kristiansen said he is push- ing for quick completion of the CBC signal. Kri: “CBC is off the air only temporarily, while CBS, for those who now receive it, isa bonus they'll be able to keep.” Kristiansen pointed out that once CBC is back on-air, many in the southern Slocan will receive four channels — double what non-cable TV watchers in Castlegar or Nelson receive. The TV society provides ABC and CTV, while CBC will be sending its own signal dnd CBS Spokane will come from ithe TV Society to the horth. “" when the signals are all on the air together, the four CBC locations will be on sep- arate channels to prevent “ghosting” of television pic- tures. Crescent Valley will re- ceive CBC on channel 33, Slocan City on channel 39, and New Denver on channel .17. The Winlaw which covers the largest area in the valley, will be on channel 12. Use of the three UHF channels above 12 are nec- essary because lower chan- nels are either in use or would be interferred with by other stations, even if hun- dreds of miles away. All new. television sets have been required to be able to receive UHF signals from 14 through 83. But for those few people with old sets without UHF and who do not receive the channel 12 signal from Winlaw, a converter will be needed to. pick up CBC. As well, there may be some homes in hidden loca- . tions which will require UHF ° antennas with increased gain in order to receive proper signals. Kristiansen said for those said the crown corporation is in the, process ntracjors, &. don't stop there.
