Wayling attributed the declining en- rolment to parents of students leaving the Castlegar area in search of jobs. Council concerned about new commission mission involving the city and areas I and J. Council Tuesday meremre a num- Ald. Cari ‘Henne said there are items in the agreement he is “not really sure about,” For instance, he said the city will pick up nearly 17,000 of the total $26,500 cost of the commission, but will have only one vote on the three member commission. “They have two votes to our one,” he said. He suggested if Castlegar contri- butes more money than the two outlying electoral areas, the city should have more say in the decision making. Mayor Audrey Moore said she's concerned about the proposed funding limit of 34 cents per thousand dollars of assessment. “That a fairly generous limit,” she said, considering the current rate is five cents per thousand. Taxes for the commission could conceivably increase by “seven-fold” under the proposed funding scheme, she said. Moore also said she wonders about the proposal to pay commission members. She pointed out that mem- bers of Regional Recreation Commis sion No. 1 don't receive remuneration. “That's a departure,” she said. Ald. Len Embree mentioned council's single vote on the three member commission by pointing out that the regional recreation commis sion works on the principle of one vote for each area. But Embree asked how the commis. sion would tie in with the new Selkirk College Development Centre. “I get the sense we're going to have two or three economic development centres working parallel to each other,” he said. Under the proposed agreement, the commission would prepare economic data, analyses, policies and recommen dations for economic development, in addition to identifying viable economic opportunities. Council agreed to meet with represe- natives from areas I and J to try to iron out the difficulties before Monday, the deadline for the city’s provisional budget. Meanwhile, council still hasn't heard any word about Prince Charles and Princess Diana visiting Castlegar. However, council was told in a letter from the Provincial Secretary that its invitation to the prince and princess to visit Castlegar will be given “full attention” by the committee respon- sible for coolrdinating the royal visit. “As soon as the committee has reached a decision concerning your invitation you will contacted,” assistant deputy minister J. Woytack said in the letter with a memo outlining some of the “lost” programs in the district since CELEBRATION TIME . .

Colbert said this “first” cooperation between the various communities in the West Kootenay acting in the common interest and in the realization that a centrally-placed college would be most readily available to the majority of students in the area.” But as a progressive organization, the college has fostered and responded to change, said Colbert. “The mission encompasses the concept of a comprehensive college operating on many campuses — broad range of quality programs — a college with the ultimate aim to strive for excellence in teaching and Colbert said the college has thrived and its at other college occurred “because of the statement of the college now a college providing a flow” has grown in iP to the efforts of its and the “ jieation and greetings from tion chairman Jack Colbert, while Cromwell read a statement expertise” of its teachers, support staff and administra continued on poge AZ D'Arcy not joining Socreds By CasNews Staff Rossland-Trail MLA Chris D'Arcy would rather fight than switch. D'Arcy Tuesday squeiched rumors that he is considering crossing the floor of the legislature to join the Socreds, saying he’s “not interested” in joining a party “whose actions have been bad for the economy, particularly for the one-quarter of a million people it has pushed into the poverty range.” D'Arey, who said he normally doesn't comment on rumors, said, “Certainly I haven't been approached and if I were I wouldn't be interested.” But he added he is “flattered” by the rumors. The talk of a D’Arcy switch started with a press release from the Rossiand- Trail Social Credit party announcing it is postponing the scheduled Feb. 1 selection of a candidate for the next provincial election In announcing the postponement, party president Carl Price says, “We don't want to play into the hands of the local NDP. “We keep hearing rumors about Chris D'Arcy crossing over to the Socred Party. Ever since (Atlin MLA) Al Passarell joined the Socred party in the fall we have been hearing these Price says in the release that the NDP has held most of its nomination meetings already but that locally there are no plans. “Perhaps they are afraid of a challenge or change and are holding off until the writ is dropped to minimize the risk,” Price says. In the release, Price also says that Socred membership in the riding is in creasing. “With our one declared candidate, (former Fruitvale alderman) Anders Thomsen, along with others that are still building their support, we have had a 20 per cent increase in member ship in the past six months.” Price adds that being on the side of government helps get things done “In our efforts to get something done ouncil lukewarm to request By RON NORMAN Editor Castlegar council Tuesday gave a lukewarm reception to a request for a contribution to a $250,000 expansion at ‘The NEC wants the city to pay “just over $21,000," of the total cost, NEC director Lucille Doucette said in an interview today. Doucette said the city’s seat cap aston ch ins ertveate fees for the Castlegar Room and about $15,000 in materials. However, both Ald. Albert Calder- bank and Ald. Bob Pakula said council will have to study the request. “It's a great chunk of money,” said Calderbank, chairman of the adminis- trative and finance committee. He said council plans to ask the NEC for an update on its expansion plans before making a decision. “We want a report,” Calderbank said. Pakula agreed, saying, “It will defin itely take some study.” But while Doucette agreed that the city’s share is a lot of money, she added, “In terms of the project itself, it's not . . . The whole project will be about $250,000.” That makes the city’s contribution less than 10 per cent, Doucette said. “They're getting a fairly large return for their money. Doucette added that she hopes the rest of the funding will come from a . ‘fairly large return federal job development grant and a federal-provincial tourism develop- ment grant. But applications for both grants are being held up until council makes a decision on its share, she said. The NEC request first went to council in December when it was re- ferred to the administrative and finance committee. Calderbank said the committee hasn't yet been able to deal with the request. In other news, council authorized the Castlegar Library Board to spend $2,300 on architectural drawings for the proposed library expansion. A surplus from the library's mainten- ance budget will cover the cost. Ald. Terry Rogers, council's representative on the board, explained, “We want to be poised to strike” if the application for a $200,000 Expo Legacy grant is approved. —INSIDE MARX'S WORLD: A tide of change is rising through the one-third of the world made by Marx”, as Com. munist leaders grope for any means to put new life into their struggling economies.
