Mines Minister Gerald Merrithew announced the task force review earlier this month, suspending a bur geoning controversy over Eldorado Resources Ltd plans to move nearly one million tonnes of soil laced with uranium, radium, ar. senic and other contaminants from two deteriorating stor age sites near Port Hope, Ont., to permanent disposal sites. However, the disposal sites the Crown corporation wanted to set up were still in the same area, about 40 kilo metres east of Oshawa. Local residents and their municipal and regional coun cils who campaigned for years to get rid of the storage sites switched their focus to the disposal project. They promised to give Eldorado a hard time during the environ mental assessment review process that was to have started Monday to determine the scope which that review should take. The mounting furore per suaded Merrithew something was wrong with the way El dorado's plans were being handled, so he asked En vironment Minister Tom Mc. Millan to shelve the assess ment process until he sets up his own task force and gets its report. group, which will representatives of government, industry and the public, will examine and make recommendations on the most promising technol. ogies for low-level waste dis.

Brummet said his ministry is taking part in a study by the Social Services Ministry on the “feasibility of criminal record checks on persons in positions of public trust.” The ministry also has agreed to provide school districts with curriculum materials to implement or expand child abuse pre vention programs in schools. The studies came in the wake of the Robert Noyes case. Noyes, a former teacher and principal, pleaded guilty in January to sexually as saulting 19 children over a 15-year period in five school districts. Abbotsford, B.C., his lawyer said Ken Young, who repre. sented Noyes at a 45-day sentencing hearing last spring, said the treatment at the Fraser Valley facility should last about two years, to January 1989, when Noyes becomes eligible for parole review Noyes, 37, a former tea cher and elementary school principal, pleaded guilty to 19 counts of sexually assaulting young children over a 15-year period in five B.C. communi: ues. # Heavy Duty Shaper Barbour Eigie # 10° Table Sow, 220 V HP Combination Sow & Jomnter & Drill Press # 18 Ploner.

Paul Conlon, with the waste management division of the Atomic Energy Con trol Board of Canada, doubts whether Merrithew's task force will suggest other methods. I wouldn't like to say no (but) these are the most widespread methods being used in Europe — especially in the Scandinavian countries and in the United States,” Conlon said Even if the task force can't come up with better disposla methods, Merrithew hopes it will at least be able to change the methods of developing and considering such pros. pects to alleviate public fears of contamination. Part of the problem in Port Hope was Eldorado's involve- ment. “It seems a little absurb to have Eldorado looking for a site,” said farmer James Sculthorpe. “They're going to look for the easiest and cheapest site in the area.” But federal policy on waste management — unless it changes after Merrithew's task force reports — calls for the producer of radioactive wastes to take care of dis Y MeMillan says there should be no fears about conflict of interest because, while another department may oversee such a project, it is his department which ap proves or rejects it. “I can't speak for Merri. thew, but for our part we could not have the environ mental considerations dic tated to us by a Crown company that has a direct stake in the decision,” he Auras t> Sunday Consswerd Pussté fn. 231 juip: ALL COY DEBTORS "WARNED BY SLOW-MOTION SPORTS CAMERAMAN: “I WANT INSTANT REPAY.” f Sheldon Catpet Cleaning ] FREE ESTIMATES Otfering You Our Professional ‘TIL NOV. 14 Block Heater Fall Special on Pony, Stellar or Excel ree 1-800-332-7087 WANTED CLEAN COTTON RAGS CSR La stlégar News 197 Columbia Ave., Castlegar 2 Days Only Warehouse Sale Friday, Oct. 24 — 6p.m.-9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25, 9.a.m.-5 p.m. DUCT FITTINGS REGISTERS & REGISTER BOOTS OLD PLUMBING FITTINGS PLUMBING FIXTURES PARTS FOR OLD PLUMBING FIXTURES (FAUCETS ETC.)

D'Arcy polled 7,574 votes compared to Moore's 6,903 and Liberal candidate Tom Esakin's 439. D'Arcy had nothing but praise for his campaign team. “It was a total team effort,” D'Arcy told more than 100 supporters at the Steelworkers Hall in Trail. “I've never had a campaign before when I needed people so much.” on election night.

Colde: bone D'Arcy said later he was “tremendously happy for all the people who worked with the campaign.” He said his campaign showed more enthusiasm and professionalism than ever before. D'Arcy added that had he lost, he would have been more disappointed for letting his team down, than for himself. “T'm pleased with the work people did in Castlegar Rossland and Fruitvale,” he said — all areas D'Arey swept. D'Arcy said it was a victory for the participants. adding that he was only one of them. The party at the Steelworkers Hall started shortly after the polls closed, when a few supporters began filing into the Steelworkers Hall, but the celebrations didn’t begin until D'Arcy was assured of a victory By about 8:30 p.m. about 35 people were assembled in the hall and either watched the provincial results coming in on a television set or looked on as the results were tallied from Rossland-Trail polls. The early results were an indication that the election could go either way, but D'Arcy supporters were en couraged. The first results showed D'Arcy leading 60-46 in one poll, 74-73 in another before Moore led the next one 61.59. Then it was D'Arcy 108-36, then Moore 44-11 and 97 92. D'Arcy 60-37 and 109-66. “It's okay,” one party worker said after the first results. “It's the same as last time.

D'Arcy collected 7,574 out of 14,916 votes cast — or 51 per cent — only 671 votes more than Moore who took 46 per cent or 6,903 votes. Despite losing, Moore closed an enormous gap left by last Social Credit candidate, Walter Siemens. Siemens won 6,581 votes in 1983 compared to D’Arcy’'s 9,661 — a difference of more than 3,000 votes. Rossland-Trail returning office will not know the exact number of Section 80 votes left to be counted on Nov. 4, but officials are assuming there are between 600 and 800 votes. Section 80 votes are those cast by In Rossland-Trail a total of 14,916 votes were cast out of a total of 18,957 registered voters — or 78 per cent of all registered voters. The returning office did not total the number of spoiled ballots this year. In 1983 a total of 17,065 votes were cast out of 21,304 registered voters — or 80.6 per cent of the registered voters. Liberal candidate Thomas Esakin took 439 votes, or three per cent of the total votes. Surprisingly, Esakin, who was parachuted into sa ine Oe tbe the last minute from Vancouver, received 45 more votes than 1963's Liberal con- tender Sergio Cocchia, who was born and raised in Trail. In a breakdown of the polling areas, Moore beat D’Arey in Genelle, Trail Airport and Warfield, as well as Trail where she took 2,196 votes to D’Arcy’s 1,755. On the other hand, in Castlegar — where Moore has served as mayor since 1977 — D'Arcy managed to take 1,641 votes to Moore's 1,344. A total of 8,060 Castlegar voters cast their ballots — only 74.4 per cent of the 4,114 registered voters. Three running so far By RON NORMAN Editer After taking a backseat to the hats into the ring Friday, along with challenger Gordon Ferguson. Ferguson is no newcomer to munici- pal polities. He ran last year but was defeated. There are three two-year aldermanic positions up for election this year. Besides the seats held by Embree and Oglow, Ald. Bob Pakula’s seat is also vacant. There is no mayoral campaign this year and aldermen Terry Rogers, Albert Calderbank and Carl Henne all have one year left on their two-year terms. Meanwhile, three Castlegar school board seats are up for grabs this year, and so far only the incumbent trustees have filed papers. Chairman Kay Johnson and Gordon Turner have decided to defend their City of Castlegar seats. Rick Pongracz will seek re-election in Area J.

Nakusp). LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION By MIKE KALESNIKO Staff Writer They asked me if I would like to be an extra in a movie. The call was completely unexpected. I had put in my name in for Roxanne, the movie shot previously in Nelson, but when they didn't call I never expected anyone else to. I guess for Roxanne I just wasn't one of the beautiful people, but for Housekeeping I was good enough. So what, I was going to be in a movie. I sort of had trouble sleeping. It seemed a bit like being discovered. An extra. Richard Dreyfuss started with only one line in The Graduate. “Should I call the police?” he said. Now look at him. I was ready. The timing was right. I showed up for wardrobe on a Sunday. Thyere was a huge room at DTUC, filled with old clothes. Maureen Hiscox, costume supervisor for the movie, told me the clothes all came from Hollywood and Vancouver, just about anywhere they could find them. She began with a pair of grey dress pants for me but changed her mind She stood back and shook her head. “It's just not the look I'm thinking of,” she said. She rubbed her chin. Tl admit I was a little disappointed. The year of the film is 1955 and I had envisioned myself in a pinstripe double-breasted suit and fedora with, perhaps, a cigarette hanging from me mouth “How old are you?” she asked. “Twenty-five.” “I think we'll got with the student look,” she said I had to be back at six in the morning so I was up at 4:30. I live a long way from Nelson and it was dark all the way. There were already about 10 other men changing when I got there — everyone from kids to retirees. I spotted the guy with my suit and fedora. There seemed to by several laborers but just one mechanic. All the clothes were labled with the extra's name and a description of the type of dress. Mine said N.D.
