Driving

A local CounterAttack won't be trying to scare the heck out of people any more.

Instead, the Castlegar safety com- mittee will be rewarding sober drivers with prizes which will include, as grand prize, a trip for two to Van- couver.

The promotion is part of the new attitude of the local safety committee which works in conjunction with the provincial government’s CounterAt- tack program now in its 14th year, aimed at stopping drinking and driving.

The committee, which has operated in Castlegar for several years, revealed its new ideas and new personnel at a meeting April 2.

The meeting kicked off the spring CounterAttack program which will begin with a banner-taising ceremony near city hall on April 12, at 12: 30 p.m.

This year’s spring CounterAttsck runs from’ April 13 to May 4.

Jan Wise, ICBC manager for community programs in traffic safety education, is the new program manager for the committee.

Other members include RCMP representative Stan Schmidt, local businessman Serge Plotnikoff, Castlegar fire chief Bob Mann, Ald. Kirk Duff, hospital -representative Les Allen, John D’Andrea from Ceigar and Dennis Tucker from B.C. Tel.

Plotnikoff and Schmidt came up with the plan to reward rather than try to scare people.

“If drivers go through clean at Police check stops an entry form will be given to them to win a trip for two to Vancouver,”’ Plotnikoff said at the meeting.

Duff said Celgar was receptive to the idea when the company and city council met to discuss it earlier in the month.

For this year’s spring CounterAt- tack, police are expecting to stop more than 250,000 drivers provin- cewide and road checks for the first time will be using roadside screening devices, Consumer Minister Jim Rabbitt said in a news release.

The RSD is a hand-held breath tester that allows an officer to determine whether a driver has been drinkin.

Campbell nixes leadership bid

OTTAWA — Federal Justice Minister Kim Campbell has ruled out a bid for the leadership of the Social Credit party in British Columbia.

“I don’t have any particular en- thusiasm to do it,’’ Campbell said.

Campbell entered federal politics in 1988 after two years as member of the B.C. legislature under former Socred premier Bill Vander Zalm.

He stepped down in disgrace last week after he was found to have violated conflict-of-interest guidelines in the $16-million sale of his Fantasy Gardens theme park to a

Taiwanese billionaire.

““['m very content doing what I’m doing,”’ she said. ‘I’m very con- cerned that British Columbia have a strong voice around the national table.”’

Campbell expressed concern that the party’s caucus appointed Rita Johnston as interim leader even though she has not ruled out a bid for the leadership.

“IT just think it’s a dynamic that doesn’t communicate the highest standards of fairness and impar- tiality,”’ she said. ‘‘For the party it’s

very important that they consider how the public regards all of this."’

The new leader will be chosen at the party’s convention in Vancouver on July 18-20.

Campbell, who held the post of executive director to former premier Bill Bennett, was a surprise candidate in the 1986 leadership campaign that saw Vander Zalm take the party’s reigns.

Campbell, 44, said she thought seriously about running but decided she is where she wants to be.

JAKE CONKIN of Slocan Park — B.C.’s “First Official Cowboy Poet’ — will hitch up his wagon and head to the O'Keefe Ranch in Vernon for the first official Cowboy Poetry Gathering and

Show on May 24-26,

Conkin, the subject of a CasNews profile Nov. 21, 1990, has been a feature poet at gatherings throughout the U.S. Northwest and Canada. Deciding the time was ripe for a gathering in B.C., Conkin is producing the Vernon event along with the O'Keefe Historical Society.

Prominent cowboy poetry writers and readers from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Northwest United States will be featured at the Friday and Saturday night big-tent performances.

that expresses the same ideals as the cowboy pottry — an appreciation for the land, sky, waters and animals of the range, the lifestyle of ranching folk and the self-reliance and individually of all who live that life.

Saturday night will also find buckaroos and buckarettes at the chuckwagon for a western barbecue and two-steppin’ at the evening’s dance.

The trappings show will present western fine artists, sadd! braiders, si iths and other related art forms.

Open day sessions will be lively with continuous

AGNES RUZICKA of Grand Forks became the first player at Spokane Indian Bingo to win the $100,000 MegaCash jackpot.

She won the jackpot April 6.

MegaCash is the matinee version of MegaBingo, a bingo game broadcast by satellite and played by the general public on Indian reservations and in charitable bingo halls nationwide. Its nightly jackpot is the largest in bingo history.

“*At first I couldn’t believe I had really won,”’ Ruzicka said. ‘Although my mother passed away last year, I won on her birthday. I know she had something to do with my winning.””

Ruzicka said she plans to use the money to do some work around the house and buy her husband a new truck.

Ruzicka received $1,000 cash on the night she won and will be presented with a cheque for $99,000 at a presentation to be held at Spokane Indian Bingo in Chewelah on April 13.

CASTLEGAR’S STEVE BOZEK was Steve Armitage’s guest on Hockey Night in Canada during

-the intermission between the third period and overtime in Monday night’s game between the Vancouver Canucks and Los Angeles Kings.

Bozek, looking dapper in a suit and tie, was sitting out the game because of a rib injury.

“It’s a lot tougher being up in the stands than the bench,’’ the Canucks’ left-winger said. “‘Up in the stands you're just a wreck of nerves.”

Bozek had high praise for Canucks goalie Kirk McLean who played his first game since he was injured in early March.

“*It’s a real tribute to the quality goaltender he is," said Bozek as the two teams entered the overtime

tied 1-1. ‘When he’s on his game, he’s the best goaltender I’ve ever played with.’’

Asked to pick who'd score in overtime, Bozek’s roots showed.

“Greg Adams. He’s a Kootenay boy like myself. I think he’s got one in him.””

Bozek had the right team but the wrong player. Cliff Ronning scored the winner as the Canucks beat the Kings 2-1 to take a 2-1 series lead into tonight’s fourth game in Vancouver.

SUSAN LYNNE KNUTSON a Stanley Humphries secondary school grad, has reached another milestone in her academic career by earning a doctorate in English at the University of B.C.

Knutson, an assistant professor at Universite Sainte-Anne in Nova Scotia since 1988, has a long list of academic successes dating back to her days at Selkirk College where she was on the Dean’s List of Students in 1971. She earned her bachelor’s degree and master’s degree, both in English, at Simon Fraser University. She has been awarded numerous fellowships over the years and has had several articles published in academic journals.

INFORMATION supplied to the Castlegar News last month by Malaspina College near Nanaimo was a little off the mark. Gord Edmondson is actually a former resident of Trail, not of Castlegar. He attended Selkirk College in Castlegar.

Edmondson is part of a federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans project which succeeded in the first-ever captive spawning of Fraser River white sturgeon.
