final leg of a stormy ocean voyage and should be home by May, his wife says.

“I sure am looking forward to him coming home,” said Blanche Creamer, 63. She said farewell to her 68-year- old husband, Marvin, on Dec. 15, 1982, when he took the 14-metre steel-hulled Globe Star down the Delaware River to begin a 31,000- nautical mile adventure.

Mrs. Creamer said her husband was approaching southern Brazil and will end his 17-month trip on sched- ule.

“He's doing well, but not spectacular,” said Mrs. Creamer, adding her hus- band and his crew of three have been battling strong winds on their voyage north along the coast of South America.

Creamer, who formerly taught at Glassboro State College in New Jersey, set out to prove to modern scholars that it is possible to sail around the world with almost pinpoint accuracy by using the stars and common sense.

Using fewer navigational aids than 10th-century Vik- ings, Creamer’s voyage has taken him to Africa, New Zealand, Australia and the Falkland islands.

He has had several brushes with disaster along the way, Mrs. Creamet said. Storms twice blew over the Globe Star near Tasmania, Aus-

Men tralia, causing the vessel to

take on water. BROKE TILLER

“The whole boat was knocked over,” said Mrs. Creamer. She added that the Globe Star was designed to right itself, and did so.

While approaching the southern tip of South Amer- ica, the boat's tiller broke, leaving Creamer without steering. He made emer- gency repairs to bring the crippled vessle into the Falk- lands.

He left the Falklands for home Feb. 9, she said.

Before he began his trip, Creamer sealed a compass, sextant and radio equipment into a duffel bag on board in case of emergency.

~But he said the idea was not to use any of those items.

Residents opposed to plant

By CasNews Staff

A request by Blackline Asphalt Services Ltd. to continue operating an asphalt plant at the new city works yard behind the Community Complex ran into some stiff opposition Tuesday.

A delegation of 20 residents from the Riverside Crescent-Connors Road area attended the regular Castlegar council meeting to protest the continued operation of the asphalt plant.

And after listening to a four-page brief by the dele gation and accepting a petition, council agreed to take another look at the asphalt plant's operation.

At a Feb. 28 meeting council had all but approved the asphalt plant's request to operate again this spring at the works yard site,

At that meeting, a two-person delegatién apparently representing Riverside Crescent and Connors Road resi dents, said it didn't have any opposition to the request to continue operating the asphalt plant.

However, the 20-person delegation at , Tuesday's meeting said it represented the majority of homeowners in the area affected by the asphalt plant and was firmly opposed to any continuation.

Spokesman Ken DeJong told council: “This is the same area affected by the operation of the asphalt plant last year.”

He said the plant produced “an unsightly black cloud of smoke which more often than not drifted right through our

area.”

As well, DeJong cited noise, odor and dust problems.

“The operation of this plant from early morning to into the night was hard to take, in some cases it resulted in headaches, in some cases lack of sleep.”

He said many neighbors had to leave their home to find relief from the “continuous pounding of the rock crusher.”

DeJong also said the “absolute stench that was-created was at times so intense residents of our area could not go outside without feeling sick to the stomach.”

“I remember coming home for lunch a couple of times and being glad to go back to work, the stench was just that

awful.”

DeJong said the dust created by the plant “seriously affected the operation and enjoyment of a home swimming

pool and covered clothes on clotheslines with both dust and

fumes.” As well,

he said area property values dropped “Two of our new neighbors stated that they never

this operation would be taking place.”

He said the original“'six-week project ruined our whole summer as it last for months.”

“Can you honestly blame us for our stand now, when not only was the plant not dismantled, but now you wish to allow it to go ahead again, plus bringing in another rock crusher for an indefinite period of time.”

City fills two senior posi

By CasNews Staff

Castlegar council Tuesday an nounced it has filled two top-level administrative positions vacant since mid-February.

David Gairns, a 51-year-old White- horse resident employed by the Yukon Territorial government, is the city's new administrator.

George Reshaur, 55, of Nanaimo, will take over as superintendent of public works.

Both will start May 1.

Gairns takes. over from Larry Cruikshank who left after two years in the while Reschaur replaces

enon Vaneouver-Island. 4 The city had 85 applicants for the administrator's position and 53 for the ‘superintendent's job.

Ald. Albert Calderbank, chairman of the administrative services and finance committee, commented: “It took us a great deal of effort and we interviewed a great number of people.”

He added, “We fell we have selected

. the best for the job ... . they cer tainly have the most experience.”

Calderbank noted that the reason the city was able to obtain the two new employees of such calibre is because of the economic conditions in B.C.

In other news Ald. Bob MacBain informed council that the owner of the old’ Kootenay Builders’ Supply building on Columbia Ave. has ap-

MacBain said the library board looked at the building a few years ago, but concluded it would be too expen. sive to renovate it. However, he sajd if the renovations are completed, the li brary board will investigate its use.

The Old Arena will close March 19 and the contractor will begin work almost immediately on the building's footings. Work on the footings was interrupted last fall with the onset of the hockey and skating season.

MacBain said March 29 has been set as the date for removal of ice at the Community Complex — slightly earlier than in other years because of low demand for ice time and because many loca] hoekey {earths did not make it into the playoffs this year.

Pakula said all the equipment is back in running order now. However, another city spokesman said security patrols will be stepped up.

The spokesman also said that 15 bat- teries have been stolen from city vehicles in the last year.

Moore called the acts “disgraceful,” adding, “There's no understanding why citizens would destroy their own equipment.”

Meanwhile, the pedestrian walkway along the CPR bridge across the Col. umbia river was set afire sometime Saturday night/Sunday morning.

The fire was discovered about 7:10

a.m. Sunday by CasNews publisher Burt Campbell who was enroute to work along a path that takes him near the bridge.

He first contacted Area J director Martin Vanderpol to learn which fire department had responsibility for the bridge and then called Castlegar Fire Department.

Campbell returned to the scene with a fire extinguisher and put out the fire

Fire Chief Bob Mann, who had quickly responded to the call, had to use foam

“to pat the blaze out.

The walkway has since been re- paired. RCMP are investigating the arson.
