Given that mandate, it's a good bet that im- proved service won't be among the committee's suggestions Instead, it's more likely the committee headed by Dr. Don Kasianchuk will recommend either reducing service, implementing user fees, or eliminating some of the ferries — or perhaps a com- bination of the three. Ci meleitiee eight of the ferries operate within the’Regignal District of Cen- Fral Kootenay, area sesidents should be concerted gbout the’ commit- Ye8"s ““Fecommendations. And Castlegar residents should be “GMA the most concerned of all. Residents here have already had a taste of the provincial gover- nment’s cost controls on inland ferries That occurred two years ago when the province proposed shut- ting down the Castlegar-Robson ferry. Residents fought hard again- st the move and won a partial vic- tory. They managed to keep the terry, though its operating hours were reduced With Victoria apparently deter- mined to hold the line on inland ferry costs, the Castlegar-Robson ferry will have to dodge yet another bullet It’s a hard fact that the Castlegar-Robson ferry is one of the most vulnerable because of the two alternate routes its users have available. The ferries serving Glade, Galena Bay and Procter are virtually essential services But those ries could also be affected probably not by closure Fame is How short memories are; how fleeting fame is Refusal of the Selkirk College board to help fund the Andy Soles Scholarship at the University of Victoria is a sad commentary on Selkirk and on the appreciation it should still hold for those who have served it well in the past — either as principals, faculty mem- bers, or members of its gover- ning board Andy Soles was Selkirk’s second principal (as they weré then known). He followed the con- troversial and highly-talented founding principal, Gordon Cam- pbell. Mr. Soles took over the college's top administrative position at a dif- ficult time. But there is more to the story than just that When he was appointed, Mr Soles was principal of Trail’s J because that would leave the residents of those areas without any access whatsover but by user fees. The case against user fees is of course that the ferries are an in- tegral ‘part of the province's high- ways operation. Since residents in other parts of the province don't have to pay for using those high- ways (with the obvious exception of the Coquihalla Highway), residents in the West Kootenay shouldn't have to pay for using the ferries. Besides there is some question as to whether the user fees would really provide enough revenue to make it worth the trouble collecting them. Perhaps the most telling argument against user fees is that the two area MLAs who are on op- posite sides of the Legislature agee on this issue. Both Nelson- Creston MLA Howard Dirks and Rossland-Trail MLA Chris D'Arcy told the Central Kootenay regional board last weekend that they op- pose user fees on the ferries. Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco joined in at Thursday's Castlegar Chamber of Commerce's luncheon when he said he, too, opposes any user fees for the ferries. Now all that's needed is some organized opposition. Municipal and regional politicians should be joining forces with our provincial and federal representatives and contacting Dr. Kasianchuk’s com- mittee to make clear their views on the inland ferries. The review committee has until Feb. 29 to make its recommen- dations. A show of solidarity from area politicians could go a long way in influencing these recom- mendations. fleeting Lloyd Crowe High School — and didn’t even have his doctorate. He then went on to become a deputy minister in the education ministry at Victoria. Compare Mr. Soles's treatment by the Selkirk College board with the action taken recently by Castlegar council A former mayor, R.C. (Bob) Maddocks, passed away in Yuma, Ariz. where he had lived for many years. Council, ina popular move, renamed the senior citizens’ centre in his honor If the Selkirk College board doesn't see its way clear to reverse its decision, perhaps it could find another way to remember Mr. Soles. The college's first board chairman, for example, has the road — Frank Beinder Way — into the college named after him Ron Norman There was an article in Tuesday's Vancouver Sun that was one of the most disturbing I've read in some time. The piece, by Haynes Johnson of the Washington Post, starts out with the quote: “It's telling us a lot about our society . Becoming rich and famous has become a phil osphy of life.” The remark was made by an educator commenting on goals of U.S. college freshmen revealed in a recent national survey. The survey showed that record numbers of freshmen (76 per cent) put “being very well off financially” as a top personal goal. That's nearly double the level recorded in 1970. A record 71 per cent of freshmen — these are students 18, 19 and 20 years old — said a key reason for attending college is to “make more money.” In the early 70s fewer than half said that. But even more telling is that 20 years ago 83 per cent of entering freshmen said “developing a mean ingful philosophy of life” was either an “essential” or “very important” life goal. Now only 40 per cent say so. It’s no secret that greed is the watchword for the 80s, taking over from the “me” decade of the 70s. But what is startling is the contrast be- tween today's freshmen and their counterparts 20 years ago. And just who were those coun- terparts? Today's freshmen’s par- ents. The same people who viewed a philosophy of life as a key ingredient in their life goal have offspring who don’t share that view in the least. How did it happen? I would have thought something the parents believed in would have rubbed off on their kids. It is also staggering to think of what these young people will be like in 20 years. It is commonly held that people tend to become more con- servative as they grow older. By the age of 40 the radical views of one’s youth have often been tempered somewhat. But I shudder to think what kind of 40-year-olds we'll have in 20 years. het Mir} vat Wy!

Parents and preschool/day-care teachers throughout B.C. and Canada have long been hoping that the new National Strategy on Child Care will in fact address present problems in child care. In order to understand the effect iveness of the policy, it helps if we know the current situation. As far as B.C. is concerned, there are three major problems: © too few licensed spaces for children who need daycare; e no financial support to help cover capital and operating costs; lack of a variety of good child care choices, with very little infant care and after-school care; Current statistics show that in B.C. approximately 10 per cent of children under school age who need day care are cared for in “licensed” spaces. Many of those 18,000 spaces have waiting lists, as parents attempt to ensure suitable day care for their children. The other 90 per cent of chil. dren are cared for in a variety of informal.ways: by nannies, neighbors, relatives and friends. Some of the arrangements work well, some do not. The children who are cared for in poor quality situations are too young to tell others the problems, many of them are babies. And the parents, even though they may not be fully satisfied with the arrangements, feel they have no options, they must take what they can get. Well, what about the new child care strategy? What will it do? What issues will it address and what dif. ference will it make? The first issue is one of cost for parents. Parents who earn high enough salaries to pay income tax will have the child tax credit doubled (up to $4,000 per child). No doubt a help, but still not equal to the average of $9,300 yearly expense for day care for one toddler and one four-year-old in a family. In some ways, families in the Kootenays are more fortunate than others, because average day-care rates here are lower than in cities. Some low income families are eligible to receive subsidy assistance for day-care fees. The subsidy covers a portion of the monthly fee (depending on income), so many parents struggle to|find the extra dollars required each month to cover the rest of the cost. However, the families most fin ancially disadvantaged by this system are the middle income families who do not qualify for assistance, and do not make high wages. How many of these families will be advantaged by the additional tax credit? Probably few, because the incomes are low enough that they already pay lower taxes. These same parents are highly pro ductive citizens and essential to our economic well-being as a nation. Those most advantaged by the tax credits will naturally be those who have the highest incomes.

Both provincial and federal govern- ment ministers (Claude Richmond and Jake Epp, respectively), claim that through the tax credit and subsidy systems, parents are able to make the choice about day care arrangements for their child. Where in fact are those choices? They do not have choices jin different types of quality services because there is a great shortage of services; and, when they do have access to services, they do not have the choice of affordable child care because most families ‘receive little assistance with paying fees. From what is now known about the new plan, the federal government is prepared to provide $3 billion over seven years for capital and operating grants for licensed centres. The cost split would be 75 per cent federal and 25 per cent provincial. Grants of this nature could help to increase the number of spaces and, thus, theo- retically give parents more oppor- tunities for choice and access, if the expansion were fast enough. Also, the financial pressure in centres could be alleviated somewhat. It seems doubtful that B.C. will take part in| the plan however, so the assistance will not be seen here. Thirdly, the issue of standards of care has not been addressed by the new policy. In B.C., some standard of care is provided by the requirements for licensing of day-care centres and family day-care homes. In general, there is more consistency in the ade- quacy and quality of care for the 10 per cent of children in licensed programs. Several other provinces have few stan. dards, and there is concern that provinces with the lowest standards will set the limit for all the provinces. During the past 20-25 years, much has been learned about children and the care they need from infancy through to age six. Ingredients of quality of care are now known and widely accepted. The most important of those ingredients is the quality of the teachers who work with the children. In the case of licensed group day-care centres, trained staff are required. Due to the difficult financial situation, salaries of day-care teachers are so low that they are actually sub- sidizing the child care themselves. The effect is high staff turnover and loss of self-esteem, which in turn lower the quality of service provided. Ensuring that day care does meet the needs of children is essential to our society, with approximately 250,000 young children in B.C. and 2.5 million young children in Canada being cared for by people other than their parents, for part or most of each week It appears that the child care strategy does present some possibil. ities for improvement, by sharing capital and operating costs, and pro- viding money for research projects. However, there is a definite possibility that B.C. will not take advantage of the opportunities. Let's avoid missing out on yet another social program in this province! The well-being and education of young children are issues of concern to all of us, as young children are the future of ‘our society. Judy Pollard, Instructor, Early Childhood Education Program, Selkirk College Castlegar Campus Politicians generate ‘spurious’ Well, well, another body of elected representatives is generating spurious media coverage on the Celgar Pulp Co. woodroom closure. Our schools must be in a sorry state indeed if the school board reacts to educational issues with the same ignorance of the’ facts. Did any trustee interview anyone from the Ministry of Forests or Celgar? But then, facts are not as spectacular for generating media coverage as in- nuendo and falsehood, are they? Did someone there, too, spout some ob- scure Green pathos or eros or something and the rest follow like sheep? It is fortunate for Castlegar council and school board members that they are paid a yearly stipend and not. for time spent in the jobs for which they were elected. Wasn't it Jack Munro, head of the powerful IWA, when speaking about the huge union pension fund, who said investing in the forest industry is a good way to go broke? Did anyone stop and think that the new sawmill at Salmo would not be if it couldn't sell residual chips to the pulp mill? Westar Timber's new export lumber mill near Hazelton is the first of its kind in North America. It has more modern and more production flexibility than any other mill in Western Canada. Some 120 employees produce 350,000 cubic metres of lumber. For a 1,000- tonne-per-day pulp mill using 80 per cent residual chips in the Castlegar area, nine such sawmills would have to coverage be built. Or do those calling for a new pulp mill expect top sawlogs and peelers to be chipped for pulp? The cost of building a kraft pulp mill is probably in excess of $500,00 per tonne to pulp. To produce 1,000 tonnes a day $500 mil. lion would be needed. At a cost of $50,000 per job created in asawmill the nine needed for residual chips would cost another $54 million. My cost figures are very conservative and only serve to indicate the magnitude of investment needed, and the appalling ignorance of local council and the school board. Mark Twain said many years ago, “In the first instance God created idiots, this was for practive, then he created school boards.” Obviously, the gentleman had no experience with village councils, otherwise he would have modified his statement. How crass can an elected official be in support of one's position? The forest forever advertisement has no bearing upon the issue whatever. Mayor Audrey Moore and trustee Doreen Smecher may not have been able to “deliver” their respective council and board members to a unanimous decision but they are the only two elected officials who appear to have any intelligence. It’s too bad for the quality of our schools and the City , of Castlegar that the rest fall so far! short of these two members. F.W. Peitzsche Fruitvale.

This move strikes a blow at the foundations of our democracy and raises urgent questions as to the limits to power in the office of the premier. It is time to remind ourselves that the assets shared by all the people in this province and held in trust by the government are the fabric, itself, of our democracy.’ This is what equalizes us, for it empowers the poor, the “little people”, to share in the control over their lives, to share in determining our common destiny as a society, to ensure their future, right along side the corporate Goliaths. In the same way that there must be gold in the treasury toe make our dollar bills worth something, the provincial assets we hold in common are necessary to give substance to our democracy, to our principles of equality. Premier Bill Vander Zalm is selling the gold and leaving us with worthless pa But ‘suppose the billions of dollars worth of assets he envisions selling off are not his to sell?

Privatization raises a startling ques- tion of what is being done with our tax dollars which are paid yearly for these services to be provided. Gradual moves toward privatization have not resulted in giant tax rebates, nor is any such thing suggested for the future. And what about the billions of dollars which will be received as payment for our commonwealth assets? Is that going to be distributed among every man, woman and, child in the province? There has been no such suggestion. Perhaps it will be used to bail the Social Credit government out of the disastrous deficits it has created with projects like the Coquihalla Highway and Expo. It so, Vander Zalm never told us the bill was on us and we would have to pay for it by selling off our whole social structure. In doing so we are losing control of our social services, our transportation departments, our land and myriad other assets. What we have in power now is a clique of extremely wealthy people who have never wanted to consider the welfare of the lower and middle classes. Whether,the government is in the pockets of industries or whether the industries are in the pockets of the ministers has been impossible to tell. There has been a steady erosion of our societal organization and economy under the rule of this unholy alliance. The only reason the workers haven't already rioted en masse is that we are like rabbits in a kettle under which a fire has been kindled gradually, so that we have been, by degrees, warmed, lulled, sweated and steamed. By the time the water boils it will be too late to do anything about it. Vanderpol not missed Reading Martin Vanderpol’s com ments on non-smokers having an atti- tude of being holier than smokers makes a person wonder about the men. tality of an individual who insists on smoking his life away. Anyone having the guts to quit smoking is not holier than Mr. Van. derpol; he’s concerned about his health and feelings of people around him. If Mr. Vanderpol’s feelings) are hurt, let him smoke his life away outside public and private buildings. It’s doubtful if he would be missed at RDCK meetings or anywhere. Fern Schwartzenhauer Castlegar In the past, many requirements for the health and safety of our society were neglected by entrepreneurs and corporations because they were un- profitable. Profit concerns exclude many things which are vital com- ponents to our society — not only is quality service always and everywhere sacrificed for profits, but so, also, are the moral principles which are the foundation of our democracy: justice, charity, and caring for higher values and the quality of life. And so we have come to support these things on a non-profit basis with our taxes, provid- ing jobs at the same time. It is crucial that any society maintain a balance between what is non-profit and what is sold for profit. We do not want to find that our highways or hospitals have the same kind of ingredients as we get at a fast-food restaurant. Consider the ravages upon our environment, and the impact upon forestry workers. Privatization is bringing a huge increase in the amount of forestland committed to logging companies. This will bring enormously acclerated cutting, and replanting will be left to the logging companies. This comes at a time when even many loggers fear for the future of their jobs because they know the forests are being cut too fast and there is not enough replanting. But his government has always favored the corporations over the workers. The new Tree Farm Licences will give away $367 million in land assets, most of it to multi-national corpor- ations. And what is more, we will lose most remaining opportunities for wild- erness, for watershed management, for solutions of native land claims, and for forest service jobs. We will lose almost all control of our natural resources in B.C. for 25 years and more, without any del ’ Mr. Vander Zalm does not speak of these things. Instead, he weaves a fairytale in which a bus company in another province was privatized and went on to great profits; in which things like food processing plants were needlessly taken over by the govern- ment in times past, and now may be turned into huge profits for the private sector. However, there is a huge difference between selling a ‘bus*company or a food processing plant and selling more essential things like our forests, hospitals, social services, highways, or educational programs which affect thousands upon thousands of people and form the foundation of our democratic rights. But Vander Zalm — raiding the public trust and holdings — does not recognize this difference.
