AA2 CASTLEGAR NEWS, November 14, 1979 Five candidates seeking aldermanic seats GEORGE F. BONDAROFF Aldermanic Candidate I am seeking an alder- ° manic position on city council at this time simply because I feel that I have something to offer both to council and to the community as a whole. I have had previous ex- perience on council as an alderman and mayor-elect in the Town of Kinnaird and served on the interim council during amalgamation as dep- uty-mayor, Therefore, I feel that I have had the back- ground to be able to assume aldermanic duties efficiently and in a responsible manner. My daily exposure to, and dealing with, the general public ‘usually provides me with a good deal of insight and I might add, a good deal of input, relating to some of the problems facing the av- erage citizen and this com- munity. T have never refused to listen to anyone's point of view and I can assure you that I will continue to do so. I am readily accessible at my place of business. I would like, briefly, to outline some of the issues which I consider are import- ant during this election and on which, if elected, I am prepared to work to find sol- utions. 1) Industrial park — We must pursue a comprehen-" sive land assembly program to create an attractive in- dustrial park, An area which comes to mind, would be one beginning at the far south- ond of the city and develop- ing along the highway to- ward Blueberry. We have the highway connections, the water, the sewer system and numerous raw materials available local- ly. Now is the time to provide a location for clean, light secondary industry. To diversify our tax base in this manner would seem to be the only way, at present, to relieve some of the tax burden presently being faced by the homeowner. Another important point here is that it is a very ‘unfortunate situation when the children, whose edu- cation we finance through the school system, are forced to ‘leave to find employment elsewhere. It would' seem that, at present, our children are our biggest export item. Industry ‘can provide op- ; portunities for at least some of them — thus your in- vestment can become very worthwhile. 2) Murphy Creek Hydro Development — Council must take a strong position re- garding the effects which any proposed Hydro develop- ment at Murphy Creek will leave on the city and its residents. We should not wait until such time as B.C. Hydro finalizes its plans and then forces them upon us — we must get involved in any plans right at the outset. We have far too many examples of disastrous social and economic impacts which projects of this nature have had on adjacent communities, The most recent example is property tax revenue caused by flooding. 38) Regional District — I have never agreed with the present structure of the Re- gional District of Central Kootenay, at least as far as it concerns the City of Castle- gar. : Being forced into a very inequitable financial burden is not my idea of what a regional district should be all about. If we must have a fourth level of government then, in my opinion, it should be structured generally with- in the boundaries of School District No. 9. We already have com- mon bounds with this area in respect to school taxation, garbage disposal, ete. I can- not see, on the other hand, the city relating to the problems of Nelson or Cres- ton. gs I was pleased to see that the present council was at least partially instrumental in moving the provincial gov- ernment to look into regional district structures — but we can’t stop here. We must continue to press for an equitable and meaningful form of regional government. 4) Kinnaird Interchange — Most of us will agree that the interchange was a traffic . bottleneck from the day it was built. Recent city press releases indicate that the Department of Highways has a study underway concerning some much-needed improve- ments to this interchange, with construction to begin in 1980. It is up to council to ensure that work will, in fact, begin in 1980¢and be com-; pleted as soon as possible. I can recall about six years ago when I was part of a delegation to Victoria at which time we discussed this same interchange at great lengths with the deputy minister of highways. Now, six years later, all we have gotten is one new set of traffic lights. I would strive to ensure that the proposed improve- ments do nat take another six years to get off the ground. At that time we ‘also insisted that any improve- ments to the interchange should include a pedestrian overpass at Crestview. This Environment Canada uses a variety of methods to collect weather data includ- ing: weather stations man- ned around the clock, unman- ned stations with automatic recorders, reports from satel- lites in outer space, from ships on the oceans and is particularly important now with the increased traffic and new subdivision development in the area, School children are forced to cross a busy highway to get to Kinnaird Elementary School. 5) Downtown Parking — Parking in the city core has always been a problem, I had previously proposed that the works department stor- age yard on Front Street be developed into a parking lot. The equipment stored here could easily be moved to the * former Town of Kinnaird works yard and a parking area developed at minimal cost. 7 Access to the main shop- ping streets would be rel- atively easy to provide. This would alleviate the present problem and when the works yard and shops were moved to a more suitable location, the parking area could be expanded if required. 6) Sidewalks and Street Lighting —I would hope that council can institute an on- going program of sidewalk construction, particularly in areas frequented by children going to and from school. Most of the. residential streets are narrow and made more so in the winter time, causing a very hazardous sit- uation. Prime examples are Fifth Avenue, Ninth Avenue and Tenth Avenue South, In conjunction with side- walks, I would work toward major improvements in street lighting in all areas of the city. 7) Bypass Route — A secondary access and bypass route is inevitable in the city. The council, in conjunction with the Department of Highways, has spent more than a year putting together a Proposal which I hope will be by the ALBERT 8. CALDERBANK Aldermanic Candidate Thave been a member of council for just under three years, Ihave occupied the position of chairman of works’ and services, health and wel- fare and the planning com- mittees. I have also served on the airport, protective, and sewer committees. This has . given me a reasonable per- spective of council operation. The construction of the water scheme is well under way. The elimination of city responsibility for the airport has been carried out after a long fight. Also, exploration and negotiations for a light is plenty of public input, and also information available. I park are p ing at a steady pace — all items of concern to me in the past, For the future, we have the investigation by B.C. Hydro regarding the feasibil- ity of the Murphy Dam. This will be another tough negoti- ation to deal with. It will be up to council to see that there The p ial govern- ment is also ‘prepared to cost share an investigation of city transit services — also im- plementation and running costs, if adopted. I want to see this included in the 1980 budget. The traffic problems throughout the city have to be rectified. Drag racing, speeding and dangerous driv- ing on the residential streets has to be stopped. Moves are being made in these areas, but increased effort must be applied. . . . Downtown parking is still a problem and must be dealt with as an urgent matter, if the downtown core is to survive. Albert Calderbank was born in England and lived for many years in Central and West Africa, He came to Canada in 1964 and obtained his Canadian citizenship in 1978, ‘ He served for nine years - as district commissioner of the Boy Scouts and is a past present of the chamber of commerce and local branch of the B.C. Heart Foundation. He has been involved in various community projects over the past few years. Prior to becoming owner of Caldset Groceteria, he worked for Canadian Cellu- lose. KJSS Foster Parent Club starts fund drive this week : Members of the Kin- naird Junior Secondary School Foster Parent Club will be selling candy door-to- door in the Castlegar School District this week in order to raise $228, their annual sup- port payment for Agus Gun- awan of Indonesia. Since 1972, this club has sponsored a child and his family in an underdeveloped country through Foster Par- ents Plan of Canada. This agency, with the club's con- residents once they have been given a chance to air their views. Apart from alleviating some of the traffic conges- tion, this route will provide a secondary access to areas that could very seriously be affected in the event of a major fire or a train derail- medical and dental care, counselling, school tuition fees, and basic material good to the family. Agus Gunawan, his mother, and his older sister, have a monthly income of $25.17: plus the $19 in cash and services from the KJSS Club, The Gunawan’s home is a bamboo house with a dirt floor and no plumbing. Their AGUS GUNAWAN ment and possible chemical spill at one of the crossings. In conclusion, I would state that the city as a cor- poration has become a very large business and must be administered like one. My experience in busi- ness over the past 15 years hasgiven me a good insight into how best to operate effi ciently and responsibly. This is the way I would expect council to operate, with each member respon- sible and accountable for his or her duties and his or her - committees. If elected, all I can promise is that I will honestly work toward my objectives as I have outlined them and that I will do my best to be available to individuals or groups so that mutual prob- lems can be aired and hope- fully resolved. : * * .

It is my conviction that better ways of getting in- formation to the people should be developed so that they know what is happening on council and I intend to, work towards that end. I also think that there are more effective and cre- ative ways of involving peo- ple in the process of mu-_ nicipal government than presently exist. The Ad- visory Planning Commission and the recreation commis- sion are places where people are presently involved in the process, but such partici- pation could be broadened and that which already exists should be taken more ser- iously. : For example, I strongly a public refer- and ch of commerce are other organ- izations that I belong to.

My position on a new water system in Castlegar has been consistent and clear and I will continue to work toward getting the best and most just agreement with CanCel regarding this sup- ply. . Thave been fighting, and I will continue to fight, for the addition of the following of the Advisory Planning Commission and perhaps a referendum must occur be- fore any decisions are made. — Ways and means of bringing about cooperations between Areas “I” and “J” and the city must be devel- oped. This is particularly true with reference to the delivery of Tam 47 eae old, mar- ried with three adult sons.

The only committees I am presently a member of are tw6 committees of Cal- vary Baptist Church. Over the past several years, I have served on many committees of our ‘church, the IWA Local 1-405, in- cluding plant chairman, safe- ty committee chairman and ser- vices and to the overall planning process, — I will also: work toward greater cooperation between the schéol board and the city council on matters of joint interest. — New .services and facilities for the community should be considered in the next two years. In this re- gard; if I am elected, I will support the building of a new library, the development of a youth centre and the creation of much more park space in our community, As an elected alderman, I would be committed to terms in the final ag working with the people of C: in these +». terms which were not present in the initial prop- osal: — The supply of water to the city should at all times_ take precedence over the supply of water to the mill. — CanCel should pur- chase the additional pump. —‘CanCel should main- tain the reserve wells. — CanCel should not have the right to rescind the agreement after only three years. I believe that the people of Castlegar should not have to accept the additional bur- den of taxation because of the i of this water ‘ important to Castl velopment of clean industry fcould provide new jobs and “an increased tax base.’ An improvement in long-range planning for the city is also a necessity.

G There are several other matters which will have to be considered in the near fu- ture: — With the upsurge of development: pressures on ‘the city as evidenced in new shopping centre, apartment complex and hotel proposals, it is obvious that we need an up-dated community plan. I am committed to that plan taking shape, but I do not want to see it left in the hands of professional plan- changes about in as demo- cratic a way as possible and in a way that best serves the interests of the people who live here.
