Heritage week is history

By JOHN CHARTERS

The Castlegar train station saw its second annual Heritage Week come to a successful and merry end last Saturday. Once again the B.C. Oldtime Fiddlers, including Rusty Hyde, Jack and Shirley Regnier, Harold and Verna Holm, Tony Smahdych and Ron and Mary Gemmell, were out to set toes to tapping and hands to clapping with the joyous music,

And again, they were seconded by the Selkirk Weavers whose members — Nancy Knight, Donna Konkin, Alex Reedy, Ingebor Thor-Larsen, Jacque Hamilton, Ruby Marsh, Betsy Goolaef, and Donna Mayer — came on both Thursday and Saturday to demonstrate the fact that the ancient heritage skills are very much alive today. The group was organized by Darlene McDowell.

About 300 visitors were on hand to view and discuss the increased selection of loaned and donated early photographs, artifacts and memorabelia and to watch an early commercial filming of the last voyage of the SS Minto and a recent filming by Ald. Albert Calderbank of the three-day move of the railway station to its new site.

Preparations \for Heritage Week celebrations this year were under the direction of Bill Sloan, assisted by John Charters and a Heritage Week committee. Special emphasis was given to the historical 80-year-old station which the city bought from CP Rail for $1 and moved unto city property during the first week in November.

Before the station could be used for an exhibition site, it required a vigorous cleaning by Sloan, Charters, Sherrel Koreen and Bella Barkley, replacement of security equipment by Gordie Hill and Paul Oglow, plumbing repairs by Alex Lutz and Dick McLeod, and carpentery and electrical alterations by Ralph Desaul niers. Bunny Charters, the Heritage Advisory Committee archivist, spent over two weeks in preparing the displays and labelling of the numerous donated and loaned items to the exhibition.

Treasurer Verna Keraiff prepared albums and scrapbooks and acted as hostess/guide while Sherrel Koreen assembled display material, acted as hostess and baked thirty dozen cookies for refreshments. Gerry Rempel acted as guide and general handiman with Joe Killough and Dr. Roy Ward on cleanup. Bruce Charters was official photographer.

Since it is hoped to make the station‘a museum of transport and local history, the Heritage Advisory Committee acknowledged the following donors and lenders of memorabilia: lenders Stan Sherstibitoff, Larissa Eremenko, Bud Godderis, Joe Killough, the Killough family, Gerry Rempel, William Rempel, Teresa Klimchuk, Nick Chernoff, Adeline Sutherland, Verna Keraiff, Wally Horning, Fern Schwartzenhauer and Mary Koeh.

Donors — Robert Rivers, Winnie Lusk, Nora Popoff, Mr. and Mrs. P. Letkeman, Harold Webber, Art Koch, Ivy and Axel Nielsen, Fran Webster and Kathy Armstrong.

The committee would like to keep the exhibit intact until after the end of the month in order to give any local school groups the opportunity for a private showing this week and for CP Rail Superintendent Mac Aberdeen and some of his staff the opportunity to view it next week.

It is also hoped during this period, to make copies of

The Committee ack ged as well the of city engineer Kevin Lagan and the city maintenance crew for their part in readying the station for the exhil Mayor Audrey Moore for taking time from a tight schedule to come and speak to the visitors on behalf of the city; Ald. Calderbank for his film; Byng Girard for use of the Minto film; Leo Bosse for his proposed development blue prints; and the Castlegar News for fine Heritage Week coverage.

The chapel house on Zuckerberg Island Heritage Park was opened as well for three afternoons with the assistance of Gail Moodie, Laima Allis, Verna Keraiff, Bill Johnston and Merv Rush.

Gail Moodie also spent several days previous to the opening preparing the premises and baking refreshments for the approximately 130 visitors. All who helped are members of Friends of the Island.

Trail to challenge kids

By LYNNE PHILLIPS

Trail has adopted “The Home of Champions” as its motto, which is usually interpreted as relating to some kind of sports activity. In a few weeks, the Trail school district will provide another “first” for the Kootenay region: A conference which will consider the needs of “champions” whose talents may be more mental than physical.

On March 19 at the Trail campus of Selkirk College, a conference entitled Challenging Our Bright Children: Parents and Teachers as Partners will cater to the interests of parents and teachers who are responsible for meeting the needs of children whose talents and abilities are above average.

It is a common mtisconception that such high ability children Will make it on their own without special help. Some say that there is something “elitist” in providing special

Now all you want is to lie back in a whirlpool bath and soak your troubles away.

But whirlpools can be haz. ardous to your health if, not used properly, says Robert Goode, an exercise physio logist “at the University of Toronto.

Goode says he knows of at least one person who had a heart attack which using a whirlpool.

During exercise, blood flows away from the heart and to the working muscles. When you hop into a hot whirling tub without cooling off, Goode says, the muscles suck even more blood from the heart.

The result can be a heart attack because the heart is

“starved,” Goode says.

The length of time you can safely remain in a whirlpool varies with age, health and fitness level. It's best to get out if you feel at all light headed.

Goode says it’s also im portant to follow proper maintenance to ensure that harmful bacteria don't build up in whirlpool spas.

But, he says, whirlpool users are not likely to catch AIDS or any other sexually transmitted disease from a public or private whirlpool.

That opinion is backed up by Dr. Nancy Tuttle, as. sociate medical officer of the Middlesex-London Health Unit

“Sexual diseases transmitted sexually,” she says. “There are no diseases I know of that spread from one person to another because of a whirlpool bath.”

kidney stones

BOSTON (AP) — Shock- wave machines, which have already revolutionized the treatment of kidney stones, can also safely smash gall- stones and could eventually replace surgery for up to one-third of gallstone pa- tients, new research indi. cates.

West German doctors re ported that the machine is “a safe and effective treatment in selected patients” with gallstones. Their study is the first large-scale examination of the machine's potential in dealing with this common problem.

“It’s the only really good study that’s been done in the world, and it's very optimis- tic data by a very good group,” said Dr. Randolph Reinhold of New England Medical Centre in Boston.

The machines, called litho- triptors, use shock waves to

smash stones inside the body. Instead of requiring major surgery and about six weeks of recuperation, patients are sent home within a day or two and often don’t require general anestesia. SEES USE

“Most of us think that at least 20 per cent and maybe even a third to half of the (gallstone) patients in the United States within three to five years could be treated by this means,” said Reinhold.

As currently set up, kidney stone lithotriptors cannot be used to treat gallstones. Kid- ney stones are made largely of calcium, and the machines are equipped with X-rays to produce images of them. But most gallstones are made of cholesterol, which doesn't show up on X-rays. So gall- stones lithtriptors use ultra- sound to make their pictures.

programs for bright, talented, or gifted children. Yet, no one expects children to become champion skiers, hockey or baseball players by themselves.

On the contrary, communities quite likely provide special facilities, uniforms, coaching, tournaments, and many hours of volunteer labor to turn talented youngsters into winning teams and sports stars. And no one sees such teams as el .

The premise for this conference, Challenging Our Bright Children, is that bright, gifted, or talented children have special needs and vulnerabilities which much be recognized and provided for in the home, the school, and the community.

Trail teachers will present workshops on such topics as: gifted children's social and emotional development (Lynne Phillips), procedures used to identify these children for special programs Chery! Kerby), and resources within the Kootenays which can be used to provide enrichment to supplement school efforts (Judy Teague)

The Nelson district arts coordinator, Helen McGall, will present a workshop on the role of the arts in enrichment programs. Judy Cherrington, a teacher of gifted elementary and secondary program: the Victoria school district, will discuss school programming options for gifted children.

Dr. Frank Finney (Trail school district) will be < resource person on local school programs. Dr. Don Knowles, from the University of Victoria, will share his experience a3 a consultant on programs for secondary gifted students.

The conference will begin with an address by Dr. Don Knowles entitled: “Being Bright Isn't Always the Best: Characteristics of Giftedness in Children:

This conference should appeal to any person who wants to find out how to challenge children who have special talents or abilities in any area.

Dr. Knowles will also be speaking on another topic March 18. In addition to his interest and research in gifted education, Dr. Knowles has worked extensively in coun- selling and will be presenting a session entitled “Loss and Ms 7

Poor forestry investigated

VICTORIA — B..C for. esters decided last week that their professional association ean probably examine and censure the bad forestry

practices of not only /fhe% peers, but their empl Or did they?

Fred Marshall, a Selkirk College instructor, said they did. Phil Van Mol said they didn't.

Marshall is one of three foresters who has pushed, unsuccessfully for three years to get the Association of B.C. Professional For. esters to investigate logging that devastated the Nass Valley.

That effort fuelled, at the association's annual meeting this week, an unprecedented review of the association's policing or “discipline and ethics” function.

Van Mol is the iation's

intent and principles of the association's code of ethics are fulfilled.”

The association's code states a member must “re- gard as his first respon- sibility the maintenance of the integrity of the forest re- source . . . (and) will guard against conditions or prac- tices that endanger the pro- ductive capacity of forest land . . . (and) will not sub- jugate his professional prin ciples to the demands of employment.”

The name of Dave Parker, the forests minister, did not come up during the dis- cussion of Marshall's motion

and related motions.

The motion reads, in part: “... that... the ABCPF council give consideration . . . to examine any well-founded complaints concerning such practices (poor forestry) and take whatever action it deems necessary and ap- propriate to ensure that the
