and galleries to West Kootenay residents.

Doucette saybs exhibit themes range from historical, artistic, ethnological to scientific. They also include exhibits from the well-developed and seemingly inex haustible supply of local talent.

Examples of recent exhibits inelude one on nuclear energy, the famous Group of Seven and B.C. firefighting equipment.

The NEC also receives international exhibits from time to time. For example, Doucette says in 1986 the NEC will be receiving a show from’ the Smithsonian Institute.

In 1985, the centre will get an exhibition from France on the history of fashion.

Doucette says the largest expense is salaries and the maintenance of the building. Staff at the NEC in¢ludes two fulltime workers.

Attendance at the NEC has been between 14,000 and 16,000 visitors, but because of poor economy has dropped off slightly, says Doucette.

“It's nice because admission is by donation, but people are just not ‘travelling as much,” she says.

She adds that in the summer, the first place tourists visit are the Doukhobor Villagé and the National Exhibition entre. 4

“Our guest book reads like an atlas,” Doucette notes.

The NEC also houses the Castlegar Museum, which is a large collection for the size of the community.

The NEC also puts on workshops, films, lectures, lays and concerts and developed a number of programs for area schools.

Doucette says students this year haven't been able to come to the centre because of lack of funds for busing, so the vod has developed a number of programs which it

THE GOLDEN CITY in the mountains has made the winter edition of Beautiful British Columbia magazine. Featured is an article titled, Rossland Snow Town, written by Deug Leighton with photography by Larry Doell.

Accompanied by scenic winter photographs of Rossland, Leighton tells the story of Red Mountain's development into a winter playground, prompted by mining promoter Olaus Jeldness. Jeldness inspired the first-ever Canadian Ski Jumping and Ski Racing Cham. pionships held in 1889 along with Rossland’s first annual winter carnival.

ROSSLAND'S Harry Lefevre has been named B.C.'s first Senior Citizen of the Year. The 76-year-old former Rossland mayor was chosen for his 50-year record of public service by the Brock House Society of Vancouver

The award includes a $5,000 cash prize

Lefevre was selected from 110 nominees, 46 women and 64 men, representing 40 B.C. communities.

The purpose of the award is to create greater public awareness of the important contributions seniors make to society and to recognize outstanding senior citizens.

Lefevre will be given the tax-free $5,000 in a Nov. 22

FURTHER NORTH mechanic Mike Kukura wants Michael Jackson fans to beat it.

They've been driving him crazy since they discovered Kukura, 26, of Revelstoke, was painting the glitter glover's Ferrari.

But it isn’t actually Jackson's car. He's never even seen it or driven it. He's never heard of Kukura and probably doesn’t even know where Revelstoke is.

The Ferrari belongs to the International Car Show Association, a group which tours North America putting on shows. The feels a Michael Jackson car — candle-apple red with gold pinstripes, driven by a sequinned dummy — will act as a drawing card.

It sure has. Kukura has been engulfed with phone calls asking if the car will be ready for Jackson's November appearance at B.C. Place in Vancouver.

Murderer

CRANBROOK (CP) A 21-year-old man was sen tenced Tuesday to life im prisonment for the killing of 80-year-old Fred Yackel.

The sentence was handed down in B.C. Supreme Court after William Osrar Denn hardt pleaded guilty to a re duced charge of second degree murder

Dennhardt was originally charged with first-degree murder Nov. 8, 1983, after RCMP arrested him with Yackel's truck in Olds, Alta.

Yackel, who had been living alone in a cabin in Creston, was last seen Sept. 19, 1983, but his niece did not report him missing until Oct 4

An article in the Oct. 21 Castlegar News reporting on nominations for Castlegar council and school board po sitions contained two spelling errors in the names of can didates.

Dennhardt led police to Yackel’s body Nov. 21. Ac cording to Dennhardt, whose account of events was read to the court, the two were drinking together when an argument began. Dennhardt then threw a pop bottle at Yackel, knocking him out Dennhardt told police he be lieved the blow killed Yacket.

Dennhardt then took some tools, a radio and a small television from the cabin and loaded them into Yackel's truck, along with the body

Const. Jerry Webb, who was in charge of the in vestigation, said Dennhardt started driving the truck to Alberta but got stuck near Kitchener, 16 kilometres east

New library to be discussed

By CasNews Staff

The City of Castlegar, the Castlegar and District Li brary board and the Castle- gar Chamber of Commerce will sit down next week to diseuss building a new li brary on property near the Community Complex.

Council's parks and recre ation committee will meet with the library board and chamber on Monday to dis cuss the new library.

The parks and recreation committee met earlier this month with a delegation of five library board members to hear the board's views on the need for a new library.

The delegation indicated that the preferred site for a new library would be on Col umbia Ave. between the Castleaird Plaza and down. town.
