CASTLEGAR, BRITISH COLUMBIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 1989 ommittee looks north in ferry fight By SIMON BIRCH Editor The Robson-Raspberry Ferry Users Ad Hoc Committee is planning to use the upcoming byelection in the Cariboo riding to draw attention to the closure of the Robson-Castlegar cable ferry The committee, which has yet to meet to form a consensus on how to approach the issue, will take the op- portunity to publicize closure of the Robson ferry in Cariboo because Transportation and Highways Minister Neil Vant — under whose jurisdiction inland ferries fall — is one of the members of the dual riding. “*I definitely think it would be a way to remind Mr. Vant of his respon- sibilities in the Kootenays as well as in Cariboo,"’ ferry users committee member George Stein said today The Social Credit party Sunday nominated cattle auctioneer Joe Wark to contest the byelection, a date for which has yet to be announced. Wark will represent the Socreds in a bid to replace Alex Fraser who died May 9 from throat cancer Cariboo has two inland which cross the Fraser River at Lytton and Marguerite and Stein said one of the possible approaches to the commit tee’s involvement in the byelection would be to ask Wark how he intends to deal with the inland ferries in his riding. Stein said the committee could also draw a comparison between the Rob: son ferry and its Cariboo counterparts both of which are much smaller The Robson ferry carried more than 935,411 passengers including drivers in 1985 while the Lytton and Marguerite ferries carried 94,420 and 22,885 passengers respectively in the same year, records of traffic on B.C.'s freshwater ferry fleet show “The Lytton and Marguerite ferries don’t have anywhere near the usage the ferries GEORGE STEIN - reminder to Vant Robson ferry had prior to being shut down,” Stein said Both the Lytton and Marguerite ferries are reaction’ rely on a hand-operated c ferries which rank and a ne bank ferry was river’s current to cross from ¢ The Rob: driven bya diesel engine Even so, Stein pointed out High ways Ministry statistics which show the cost per trip of the Robson ferry to be $2.55 compared to $8.67 for the Lyt ton ferry. No data is available for the Marguerite ferry to the other the ferry users Terry Dalton, stresses the intention is not to However, ‘ommit tee’s lawyer committee's sacrifice the operation of other inland ferries to get the Robson ferry back in service ‘Our thought is not to suggest ferries in Cariboo be closed,”’ Dalton said Tuesday. ‘* We're trying to suggest the best thing is to ask Mr. Wark what MALL BACK ON DRAWING By CasNews Staff A Winnipeg company is working on architectural drawings and talking with possible tenants for a new mail in Castlegar but it's too early to give out details, the com: pany’s vice president said Tuesday The mall, proposed for the so- called eliptical site by the Kinnaird bridge, has been in the works for 10 years, said John Atkins of First Commercial Properties Richard Maddocks, development officer for the Castlegar and ,District. Develop ment Board, said discussions with economic BOARD First Commercial have beat and optimistic Talk of a mall has circulated in Castlegar before, he said, but First Commercial claims to have a num ber of companies interested in the possibility of stores coming to the area well for Castlegar," Maddo: said Atkins said First Commercial is looking to early next year to begin the proposed construction. “It should be a very interesting fall and spring,"’ Maddocks said commitment there should be to inland ferries, if he feels they're an integral part of the highway system.”” Meanwhile, Dalton has again writ- ten to George Copley, the lawyer representing the provincial gover- nment in the lawsuit the ferry users committee launched in an attempt to get the Robson ferry service reinstated, pointing out the Kootenay Regional Task Force on Transportation’s recommendation that the governmegt restart the ferry. Dalton also indicates in his letier probable support for the ferry service from the government's task force on seniors’ issues, Toward a Better Age. Dalton said he hopes the support from the task forces could lead to a “resolution” of the dispute over the ferry closure As well, Dalton notes what he and the committee maintain is a continuing adverse affect on the area’s tourism as a result of the ferry closure. “Many tourists still wait for the ferry in the belief that it is still operating,"’ Dalton writes. ‘‘The ferry route was the primary means of travelling to our one provincial park at Syringa Creek.’ Dalton also lists a number of down. town Castlegar businesses which have ceased operations since the gover. nment closed the ferry service. Although Dalton acknowledged in an interview that proving a direct link between the closure of businesses and the closure of the ferry would be dif ficult, he pointed out, as he does in his letter to Copley, that the buildings which housed the businesses “‘had long and well-established histories of con tinuous occupancy prior to the ferry continued on page A2 Regional districts put lawsuit on hold By CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Staff Writer Four Interior B.C. regional districts will put a lawsuit they are bringing against B.C.
