NDP candidate Ed Conroy is
Victoria-bound, after dethroning
Independent Chris D'Arcy to
claim the title of Rossland-Trail
MLA.

» The win- may. have been
expected, but not at the majority
on which it came, especially by
Conroy.

“My campaign manager would

i mever really let on how I was

i doing. throughout the campaign,
therefore I had to keep working
as hard at the end of the cam-
paign, as when I did when it was
first called,” said Conroy...

‘The voters have definitely spo
ken, and their talking the lan-
guage of the-NDP. Conroy came
out on top at almost every polling
station in the district, and finished
with a total of 8,135 votes.
D’Arcy, who's been the riding's

as an NDP
for almost two decades, finished
second with 3,695 votes.

Social Credit candidate Walter
Siemens. was third with 3,190
votes, and Green party candidate
Angela Price finished with 685

“This really was a group effort
and without every one.of you it
just wouldn't have happened,”
said Conroy.

‘The new MLA contributed part
of his win to the fact his cam-
paign was organized right down
to details,

“Everybody worked very, very
hard., We were the only organiza-
tion out there with a full slate of
scrutineers. We were well orga-
nized, and that makes a big dif-
ference.”

Although he was in a mood for
celebration, and rightly so, Con-

was still prepared to address
some local issues of concem.

stabilize the economy. Westar

Radon risk in Castlegar a concern

Castlegar is among several
radon gas high-risk areas in B.C.,

luding Nelson, Cranb .
Kaml Kelowna, FP

Early in 1989, the Ministry of
Health issued an advisory about
the hazards of radon in homes,
and what could be done about it.
The advisory was based on
results from earlier studies, when
radon was d in homes in

Prince George and Valemount.
Radon gas, resulting from the
natural decay of uranium deposits
underground, tends to seep in
through the basements of homes.
“I think it’s something that
should be looked at,” said Castle-
gar physician Dr. Ward. “We're

throughout B.C.

Later that year, the Ministry:

study of radon in homes, to be

deposits here.

“They did a’ study here some
years back, testing homes for
radon levels, but the results were
never released—nobody ever
heard about it.”

When asked if he had ever
been approached by Castlegar res-
idents'concemed about the effects
of radon, Ward replied, “The sim-
ple answer would be, no.”

According to Paul Wilson of
Nelson’s District Geology Office,
there are quite a number of urani-
um-.\'showings in the
Castlegar/Genelle area.

“There are two in the immedi-
ate_arca of Genclle, one called
MOTA and the other, U308,”
said Wilson. “There is also a
showing of. uranonite crystals in
theGibson Creek area and a
radioactive irregularity near
