A slap in the face .

The following editorial had
been written and was already In
type when we learned Premier

Bennett had flown Into Trail Friday

morning.
Obviously the strong. feelings:

: ‘when Pro
YY Evan Wolfe ded the
premier's. apologies were ‘con-
veyed to the premier by Mr. Wolfe,
_. and Mr. Bennett decided to attend.
Would Mr. Wolfe not have A

‘ province for whom the Games are -

‘9 particular highlight.

The premier didn't even have the ©

weather as an excuse. Thursday
was a fantastic day, and all but the
very first of PWA's flights made it
easily into Castlegar Airport.

Mr. Bennett's government plane

would have had no difficulty -

delivering .him, 1 and ‘getting him
back to Victoria, because Friday
dawned even clearer and brighter
than Thursday.

dMr. Bennett's
attend Friday | had those been ‘he
premier's plans Thursday?

We decided:to print the’
editorial as written because we
believe it will demonstrate to Mr..
Bennett how right: He was in
deciding to make the trip to Trail
on Friday, and how in the future he
should think twice before can-
celling long-planned engagements
such as the Winter Games.

Premier Bill Bennett's failure to
show up Thursday evening for the
1982 B.C. Winter Games opening
ceremonies in the Cominco Arena
was a great disappointment to the
residents in this part of the West
Kootenays., -

But is was more than that.

It was also inconsiderate to the

h d ht

ol
gathered here from all over the

ted to excuse the premier by
telling the packed arena audience
that Mr. Bennett Is busy back In
Victoria preparing the new budget.

Surely Mr. Wolfe can’t expect us

to believe the premier. couldn't |

spare an afternoon and morning to

attend one of the largest amateur .

sports spectacles in the province's
history?

But an unkinder cut (after all the
Games dates have been penned on
the premio ¢ calendar since Oct.
31, 1980), is tha slap'in the face the
premier dealt. to the .many
thousands of people involved ‘In
the tremendous organizational job
for the Games.

Hundreds of people have eaten
and slept the Games for months,
‘and in failing to attend, the
premier paid them a disservice
they will be a long time forgetting.

Way to go, Trail

ter Games organizers and volun-

the amazing response from area
