ment of a new company; Ventures Design Ltd. According to Martin, Ven- tures has been created spe- cifically to design and construct solar homes in the Kootenays. ‘The houses will be constructed and then offered for sale. Ventures has retained Eric Clough, award-winning envi- ronmental designer, to develop

* various prototype designs es-

pecially suited for the focal climatic conditions, Martin stated that Clough has been doing extensive research and has received intensive training from a program offered by the University of Colorado and has recently returned from further training by Passive Solar Asso- clates, Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Martin says that conatruc- tion of the first house, “Solar I",

is scheduled to start April 15 at -

124 Douglas Road in Nelson. “Solar II" is currently in

the design stages and will be

constructed later this year.

Buffalo Herd Settled In. At Gang Ranch

Alsager Holdings Ltd., a family-owned operation, who purchased British Columbia's one million-acre Gang Ranch in October 1978, announced re- cently the arrival of a founda- tion herd of buffalo at “The Gang Headquarters" located approximately 50 miles west of Clinton, B.C.

The arrival of the buffalo

represents the end product of considerable work and re- search. “Each animal has been blood-tested for several di- seases and carefully selected for its suitability to our opera- tion,” comments Dale B. Alsa- ger, company president.

“Our buffalo are complete: ly fence conditioned and accus- tomed to domestic stock hand- ling practices, They will be maintained in confinement, un- der close supervision at The Gang Headquarters, and will form the nucleus of a breeding herd.”

Buffalo are not a new venture to the Alsagers, but represent an expansion phase of a successful experiment in the econoinics of ranching buf- falo. After two years of success- ful study and evaluation on the Alsager’ 's Idanell Korner Ranch

a very attractive market for buffalo meat in specialty restaurants, clubs and other food outlets in Western Canada and the United States,” comments Alsager. “Buffalo meat is similar to beef in taste, is slightly finer grained, but is significantly lower in fat and cholesterol content compared to beef. “Buffalo meat sells for approximately 70 per cent higher than beef on the hoof and certain restauranteurs in

+ the United States are paying as

high as $9 per pound wholesale for choice cuts. Added to this, the fact that they are more economical to raise and reduce chances of over-grazing range, the ranching of buffalo as an agricultural product is indeed sound.”

There is a significant po- tential for spin-off industry related to buffalo by-products such as hides and heads. These products are excellent in the manufacture of clothing, wall- hangings, taxidermy mounts and other handicrafts,

. Warning Against Agency

Travellers stranded in

Hawaii by the failure of a Vancouver travel agent will have their accommodation guaranteed by the Travel) As- surance Fund, Consumer and Corporate Affairs Minister Jim ‘Nielsen said recently. °

2\_ The failure of Bruce Thom- son Travel Service Limited, #114, 10161 No. 8 Road, Rich- ‘mond, had threatened 20 B.C, vacationers with eviction from their pre-paid accommodation in a Hawaiian condominium.

Nielsen said that‘ when he

learned of the situation, he immediately approved payment

from the B.C, Travel Assurance -

Fund and instructed his staff to

phone the condominium owner fa Hawaii with a guarantee of payment. The owner agreed to - provide the accommodation for the tourists as scheduled and their vacation was not dis-

rupted. |. “Nielson said that the fail-

* ure of the company does not

affect the vacationers’ return flight. He added that other B.C. consumers, who have pre-paid the company but have not yet departed, will be’ informed of the failure, and will be able to claim their losses against the fund.

The ‘Travel Assurance Fund was established in Feb- ruary of last year to reimburse consumers who fail to receive pre-paid travel services.
