Voice of the People

Ferguson Hits Coverage

Editor, Castlegar News:

If you are sincere, and I
belleve you are, in trying to
provide a news service to the
citizens of our city, I think you
should be informed of a very
sad situation that has| been able
to develop.

For a long time now both
* citizens and candidates for city
council within the City of
Castlegar have claimed that
city council has operated in
secret and the public has not
been properly informed of de-
cisions taken by the council.

After a year-and-a-half of
sitting on council I can assure
one and all this is not the case.
We, the members of city coun-
cil, are reliant on the press to
advise our citizens’ of our
actions and pass along such in-
formation which is in the public
interests, but this is not being
done.

The hue and ery that the
working press is not doing its
job is only too valid within our
city. We do have a “reporter”
from the Castlegar News who.
regularly attends council. meet-
ings but from what is reported
it can only be assumed that he
acts as a one-man censorship
board and writes up just those
items he considers of interest.

It is very when

assist by printing it as soon as
possible. Again what happens,
our “reporter” -in his ‘own
wisdom decides whether he will
report it or not and in a number
of instances does not, ©
As well, there are also
times, even though he is
present and by now’ should
know the names of all members
of council, that he attributes
comments and statements to
the wrong spokesperson, We
not only have irresponsible re-
porting but sloppy reporting.
One recent example of the
type of reporting I am referring
to took place after our council
meeting of Aug. 9. We. had.
experienced a number of fires
in the city due to the hot dry
spell and it was expressly re-
quested of the press to alert
everyone to the dangerous
situation. ‘

Lottery Numbers

Five numbers worth $100,-
000 each were drawn Wednes-
day night of last week in the
Western Express Lottery.

The winning numbers for
$100,000 were 21494 in series
18, 10967 in series 13, 31991 in
series-12, 78755 in series 4 and
68114 in series 25,

‘A message from Regional

District of Central Kootenay in
this rogard was passed along to
the- press to! emphasize | our
concern.

Not one word was to be
found in this regard in the next

- publication of the Castlegar

News even though there was
adequate time to insert the re-
lease.

Mr. Editor, if you sincerely
want toserve the citizens of the
City of Castlegar, I would
request that you provide com-

_petent people to, do your re-

porting so that readers within
our city can be properly in-
formed as to what their council
is doing in their name.

1 thank you for your in-
dulgence in printing this letter.
David H. Ferguson
Alderman,

(Editor’s Note:) Mr. Fergu
son perhaps makes some yall¢
points. In our concern for
quality of coverage, we have
perhaps not provided quantity
of coverage. Council news is al

issues of the paper and the fire
concern -story Ald. Ferguson
refers to was already in type At
the time of receipt of his letter

One Out of Five
Drivers is a Drunk

Next time you're driving
late at night, bear in mind that,
statistically speaking, one in
every five cars coming toward
you on the opposite side of the
road is driven by a drunk.

That statistic is part of the
reason B.C. is about to launch
its biggest anti-drinking driver:
campaign ever.

“And government officials
reckon it'll cost taxpayers “tens
of thousands” of dollars.

Attorney-General Garde
Gardom is expected to an-
nounce full details of the cam-

paign in the legislature later in
the current session.

But in the meantime, Ron
Boyle, coordinator of adult ser-
vices in the A-G's department,
has given an insight into what
the campaign will bring:

e ATV and newspaper ad
campaign.

e Coordinated deterrent
programs by courts, police,
probation service, medical pro-
fession, and community groups.

Boyle said the chief ob-
jective is to heighten com:

WELCOMET
KOKAN

munity of the
drink-drive problem.

He said the ad program
likely will coincide with a
similar scheme about to be
-launched by the federal govern-
ment.

“About 6,000 Canadians
are killed each year in vehicle
accidents and at least half of all
drivers killed have a high.blood-
alcohol level,” he said.

“About 70 per cent of all
Canadians injured or killed in
accidents earlier had consumed
aleohol.

“It’s so sad,” he said. “lt as
we suspect, alcohol is a major
factor in the road carnage we
witness each year, it really says
something about our society.

“It's an irresponsible use of
alcohol and automobiles."
