Funeral Held Saturday
For Edwin G. Frost

Funeral service was held
Saturday from the chapel of the
Castlegar Funeral Home for
Edwin George Frost, 79, a resi-
dent of Robson who died Thurs-
day.

Born July 29, 1899, in
England, Mr. Frost came to
Canada and Winnipeg in 1912.
He was married in Winnipeg
and resided there for some 35
years before coming to British
Columbia in 1950 to Prince
Rupert.

Mr. Frost retired from the
Canadian National Railroad in
1963, Upon his retirement he
took up residence at Robson.

He is survived by his wife
Glades; one son, Frank of
Castlegar; one daughter, Mrs.
Norm (Joan) Blais of Castlegar;
three grandchildren; one broth-
er, Fred in the United States
and one sister, Mrs. Beatrice
Paterson of Winnipeg.

He was predeceased by
one grandson, Wayne Blais, in
December of 1974,

Rev. Desmond Carroll offi-
ciated at the service during
which organist Mrs. Dawna
Dinning played hymns “Abide
with Me" and “Rock of Ages.”

Cremation followed.

Condensed Opera
Hits Sour Note

Verdi's four-hour opera
Don Carlos at the Royal Opera
House in London is the latest
victim of British industrial

Performances must be

cause of an overtime ban by 115
musicians demanding more

pay.

The orchestra has refused
to play for more than three
hours each night.

U.S. soprano Grace Bum-
bry said recently that taking
part in the condensed version is
a “chaotic race.”

2. Bumbry,. who. sings the
role of Eboli, was describing
the previous night's perform:
ance, which at one stage was
punctuated by a chorus of
booing directed at the orches-
tra by the audience,

“Act 1 — the Fontaine-
bleau scene—was cut alto.
wether and I was so busy
changing costumes between
Acts 2 and 3 that I had no time

to take curtain calls,” she said.

The performance of Tosca
was unaffected by the dispute
because it lasts only about 24
hours.

But the overtime ban by
the Musicians’ Union is ex:
pected to put the squeeze on
Don Carlos again when it is
performed.

The overtime ban started
when the management turned
down the union demand for a
eight-per-cent pay increase and
offered five.

Musicians yet a base salary
of $147 a week. Their basic
work in a week consists of
seven three-hour sessions in-
cluding rehearsals. In addition
they normally work paid over-
time as and when necessary.

The Royal Opera House
has already been hit this season
by a similar dispute involving
the 68 members of the chorus.

Hydro’s ‘Worst Case’ Study

e Colder and rhuddier
water in the Columbia River
and its lakes;

e Flooding;

e Drowned beaches;

@ Minor landslides;

e Elimination of some
coarse fish and decline in game
fish populations,

According toa four-volume
consultants’ report released
last month, those are among
the environmental problems
which could result from the
Kootenay River diversion pro-
ject proposed by B.C. Hydro.

The report also describes
loss of elk, deer and moose
habitat, duck population losses
of up to 50 per cent, damage to
a multimillion dollar tourist
industry and severe private
property and industry damage.

However, the consultants
point out that their report
emphasizes a “worst case”
situation and many of the
severe impacts may not occur,

The Entech

CASNEWS BACKGROUND REPO

Both the environmental
and engineering reports ex:
amine the effects of several
river diversion alternatives
with varying rates of. flow in
combination with different de-
grees of mitigation. A specific
scheme may be selected from
these alternatives after the
second stage studies are finish-
ed,

Summarizing the impacts
of the "worst case" scheme, the
report states that the Columbia
valley is a prime tourist and
recreation area with fishing,
hunting, and beautiful scenery:
Agriculture, home building,
transportation and industry are
land uses which are growing in
importance.

“A diversion, therefore,
would affect both the existing
and potential values of resource
and land use 7‘

reduced by up to 90 per cent
and harvests of white-tailed
deer and moose might also be
reduced,

Duck preduction from Can-
al Flats to Edgewater would be
reduced by at least 60 per cent
and in the area north of there
by about 25 to 60 per cent,

“The report also says some
known osprey and bald eagle
nesting territories could be
lost.

On the subject of tourism,
the report admits that people
are less likely to swim in
Columbia and Windermere

Environmental Consultants
Ltd. of Vancouver, have com-
pleted first stage environmen-
tal and engineering studies of
the possible diversion scheme
which would cost up to $80
million and produce about 810
million kilowatts of power,

The project is possible
because under the terms of the
Columbia River Treaty, Canada
has the right after September,
1984, to divert up to 1.5 million
acre-feet of water annually
from the Kootenay River into
the Columbia River at Canal
Flats in the East Kootenay. The
diverted water would pass
through the Mica and Revel-
stoke power plants on the
Columbia,

The findings of the studies
have already been summarized
in a preliminary assessment
document released last Octo-
ber. But the report released
last Tuesday gives complete
details.

Second stage studies are
expected to start late this
summer and when they are
finished Hydro will decide
whether to seek government
approval to go ahead with the
project.

This means the earliest
any decision could be made to
seek a water licence for such a
project would be late 1979-or in
1980, according to the Hydro
statement.

The consultants said the
preliminary evaluation of prop-
erty impacts had to include
flooding damage that already
happens at Golden and else-
where—“net impacts of the
diversion therefore would be
less than shown.”

And any diversion scheme
proposed by Hydro would in-
clude proposals to mitigate
environmental damage such as
a wildlife management program
to improve wildlife production
along the Columbia floodplain,
creation of additional agricul-
ture land through channels and
dikes, and alleviation of some
present downstream flooding
problems, Creation of jobs
during the construction period
would give a temporary boost
to the local economy.

pacts Lo the social, aquatic, and
terrestrial ecology due mainly
to the introduction of colder (up
to eight degrees Celsius), more
turbid water from the Koote-
nay River into the upper
Columbia system.

“An inerease in the num-
ber of minor landslides and the
breakdown of certain sections
of river bank would bring about
some alteration of the present
river course.”

The report says there

. would be likely be: increased

sloughing of land around Col-
umbia and Windermere lakes.
And, because of flooding, there
would have to be relocation and
reconstruction of some sections
of highway, and some bridges,
homes, stores, industrial and
recreational facilities, and a
hotel.

“Wildlife impacts would
centre around the loss of
wetland habilat from Canal
Flats to Golden, These areas
are important for ungulates,
waterfowl and other aquatic
birds and mammals.”

The study area lies along
the floor of the Rocky Mountain
Trench and includes some 700,-
000 acres in the agricultural
land reserve.

In the “worst case” scheme
with a water diversion of 6,000
cubic feel per second the
maximum flood level at Fair-
mont Hot Springs would in-
crease by 1,2 metres and the
flood peak would last for 65
days.

The effeets of the di

gional district and the develop-
er of a proposed 285 lot sub-
division at Christina Lake are
having trouble agreeing on a
set of conditions that would
enable the project to go ahead.

“It seems we're back to
square one again,” said regional
district administrator Larry
Robinson, who said the pro-
posal—first received by the
regional district more than six
months ago—has now heen re-
ferred back to the planning
committee.

The question of access to
the lake for residents of the
proposed subdivision has pro-
ved to be one of the main
stumbling blocks that have

lakes if the water becomes
colder and muddier.

In six years, when the
diversion could be finished,
tourism in the area is likely to
be double the 1976 figure of $55
to $65 million annually,

“Even if only a portion of
this is lost it could be significant
to the regional economy.”

In the worst case scheme,
private and public property
damage (including residential,
commercial and. agricultural)
would be between $26 and $37
million,

But according to Robinson,

the developer has now with-

would diminish downstream
but in certain places there
would be flooding all the way to
Golden, says the report.

“If left alone, the Columbia
River would gradually adjust to
the increased flows by breach-
ing ils banks and forming new
channels across the marsh-
lands, increasing the size of the
present channel and building up
new levees.”

The report says the maxi-
mum width of lakeshore land-
slides would be 300 metres.

With a lower water level
the Kootenay River would not
be able to dilute the Skookum-
chuck pulp mill effluent as
effectively as it does now,
states the report.

In the Kootenay lowlands
the ‘impacts would be both
positive (an improvement in
poorly-drained land) and nega-

tive (more acres needing irri-

gation), And in the Kootenay
uplands there would be a
reduction in the quantity and
quality of irrigation water.

Bank erosion could threat-
en 30 archaeological sites—
“five of which are thought to be
very important.”

According to the report at
least five species of coarse fish
would, be almost completely
eliminated in the “worst case”
scheme and important game
fish such as rainbow trout
“could experience a marked
decline.”

Adds the report: "The
greatly increased volumes of
water could have disorienting
effects on sensory organs, dis-
rupting the homing response of
spring migratory fish.”

Changes in vegetation,
marshland and meadows in the
Columbia floodplain would have
“pronounced effects” on birds
and mammals. For instance, the
potential elk harvest could be

ALL STEAMED UP

By Shirley Guth

July 10-16

The Kootenay’s romantic

Past catches up with her this
summer, when an old flame
comes calling. Chances are, he
will be rekindling some fond
memories,
. The flame is the one still
burning strong in the brick-
lined heart of 3716, a turn-of-
the-century, steam, freight
locomotive that once pulled
his weight in the Kootenays
and all over B.C,

Sidetracked into retirement
for 25 years, he has been pain-
stakingly restored and given a
new lease on life as head of
BCs travelling Museum Train.

And these days, he’s an en-
gine with a k mind—

for $300,000 in 1974 when
boilermakers came out of re-
tirement to lovingly rebuild
the huge machine, Now, like
his kissing cousin the “Royal
Hudson”, 3716 is one of the
most carefully maintained
steam locomotives in North
America,

“In fact, if there isa criticism
of 3716," smiles Turner, “it's
that he's too clean. The
polished glossy black is diffi-
cult to photograph undersunny
conditions.”

Onboard the train's exhibit
coaches, a friendly crew of
young guides answers ques-
tions about steam-age artifacts,

to revisit the Kootenays and
tell the story of steam in B.C.

Until August, he will be
rumbling into over a dozen
towns, historic rolling stock in
tow, with exhibits, movies, live
steam demonstrations—all de-
Picting B.C.s “Age of Steam".

A whistle blast means “wel-
come aboard” to tour a world

freight loco most people saw
in operation a generation ago,

“He's not stylish”, comments
Robert Turner, assistant cur-
ator. “But he’s black, imposing
and business-like.”

nounced 37-16 in ‘roading
language—was built in 1912
for about $19,000 and restored

800 parts,

This is the Museum Train's
fourth year of steaming ex-
hibits throughout the province;
last year over 90,000 people
toured its galleries. New this
year is a special exhibit coach,
the “Nootka Sound”, contain-
ing a Captain Cook bicenten-
nial display.

Listen for the steam whistle
in the Kootenays this summer;
it signals another Museum
Train of events. Steam is on
its way back for a visit—and
that’s an iron-clad promise,

Hazards Accompany
Benefits of Raw Milk

There are many natural
food faddists who advocate the
consumption of raw milk rather
than pasteurized milk,

But, according to previous
experience, those that claim
the benefits of raw milk are not
telling the entire story. Un-
pasteurized milk can also carry
any disease organisms which it
comes into contact with.

Some of the more serious
diseases that have been asso-
clated with milk in the past
include polio, scarlet fever,
undulant fever (brucellosis),
tuberculosis and paratyphoid
fever.

Pasteurization of milk re-
duced the number of infant
deaths dramatically when the
Process was introduced to the
dairy industry. The reason for
this reduction was directly
related to the elimination of
disease-causing organisms from
the milk supply.

Gone were the chronic sore
throats, the frequent unex-
plained nausea and other mis-
cellaneous ailments caused by
the bacteria commonly found in
unpasteurized raw milk.

Do food faddists mention
this when advocating raw milk

Grizzly Under

Parks Canada’s western
region is prepared to spend
$500,000 in a 10-year program
to separate the “fancy from the
fact” about grizzly bear, Wil-
liam C. Turnbull, western re-
gional director said recently.

“Myths survive but my
impression is that we're short
of well-documented research
and hard data about this
animal. If we are to help this
creature survive in the wilder-
hess, we need to stop telling
stories about him and find out
the facts involved in his" exis-
tence,” said Turnbull.

The director said the fund- -

ing commitment has two aims—
to ensure that the grizzly bear
population survives — “that’s
part of Parks Canada’s preser-
vation mandate"—and to dimi-

Parks Canada is currently
conducting two grizzly research
programs. One in Jasper Na-
tional Park involves deter-
mining the seasonal movements
of the animal, and this is being
accomplished by monitoring
daily and weekly movements of
radio-collared bears with heli-
copters, fixed-wing planes or by
visual sightings.

This year nine grizzlies are
fitted with functioning collars.

The tagged and collared
bears are drugged with a rifle
dart and marked, measured and
weighed to determine growth
rates. "We don't want any more
guessing, we want scientific
evidence about the grizzly,”
said Turnbull.

In Banff National Park,
studies are being concentrated
on bear feeding habits based on
preferred foods. “We want to
know when they eat, the quan-
tities, what they eat and the
nutritive value of the food,’
Turnbull added.

Early research indicates
that the range of the male
grizzly is greater than was first
thought. He doesn’t confine
himself to a small home range—

complished by the heating of
milk to 72°C (161°F) for 16
seconds, This process partially
destroys the Vitamin C in milk
and slightly reduces Vitamin B
potency. This reduction in food
value may be of concern until
you realize that only five per
cent of an individual's Vitamin
C and 12 per cent of the
Vitamin B is supplied by milk.

Obviously, if milk was the
major item in the diet (ie, a
baby's diet) then it would be
advisable to supplement the
diet with another vitamin

miles in a season, and that the
bears who fill up on visitor
garbage are larger than. the
creatures who keep to the wil-
derness,

Females with cubs nor-
mally occupy a smaller area
than the males.

Too, some bears grow toa
viper age than assumed. One
tagged grizzly in Jasper is
known—by an analysis of one of
his teeth—to be 19 years old.
“Some have thought they grow
to be 50 years, others have put
their life span at 12. What the
research will do is nail certain
scientific facts to the wall and
we'll be able to dispense with
myths’ on this large beautiful
omnivore,” Turnbull added.

While the grizzlies are
feeding during the summer, the
scientists, along with park
wardens are poking into the
grizzly dens looking for infor-
mation about preferred loca-
tions, size and use. "We are
tired of accepting assumptions
about grizzlies; we want facts,”
said Turnbull.

One aspect of the practical
application of the documented
research could‘involve resiting
visitor hiking trails away from
areas known to be frequented
by females with cubs or re-
stricting visitor use of back-
country campsites for short
periods when specific plants
known to be preferred food
choices, are abundant,

“Armed with information
instead of a gun, we can save
more visitors and more griz-
zlies from nasty—perhaps fatal
—confrontations . .. for both of
them.”

Special Power
Forms Need
Careful Thought

West Vancouver police
have prepared a special form
that would give them special
powers to enter houses while
homeowners are on holidays,
but the British Columbia Civil
Liberties Association is caut-
toning people against signing it.

Cst. Brian Schlerer said
the form was drafted because of
an ongoing problem with par-
ties thrown by teenagers when
their parents are out of town.

The form, if signed by
parents, would give police per-
mission to enter homes while
parents are absent, without a
writ of assistance, to quell an
out-of-hand party. The form
restricts the added police pow-
er toa specified time period and
allows them to act only after
receiving a complaint and after
all other means of quieting the
party have been exh d.

Smoking Main Cause
Of Most Heart Attacks

Cigarettes caused three-
quarters of the heart attacks
suffered by a group of other-
wise-healthy women under age
50, researchers in Boston said
recently. They warn that such
attacks are likely to increase as
more teenage girls take up
smoking.

The doctors also found that
heavy-smoking women under
age 50 are about 20 times more
apt to have heart attacks than
are non-smokers.

The study, conducted at
Boston University Medical
School, was published in the
New England Journal of Medi-

cine.

The doctors estimated that
about one-third of the young
women in the study who suffer
heart attacks—or myocardial

infarctions—had no underlying
illnesses, such as high blood
pressure, that might have been
the cause.

“Our findings suggest that
in this category, some 75 per
cent of infarctions could be
avoided if women did not
smoke,” the doctors said.

The research, directed by
Dr. Dennis Slone, found that
women who smoked 35 or more
cigarettes a day were 21 times
more likely to have heart
attacks than non-smoking
women,

The risk dropped dramati-
cally for lighter smokers. Wo-
men who puffed 25 to 34

cigarettes a day were 14 times -

as likely as non-smokers to
have heart attacks,
