OPINION

Worthy purpose,

The provincial government has begun an assessment of a
high-technology device which has an admirable purpose but one

disturbing flaw.

Sounds simple and efficient, but what if the owner of the

vehicle wasn't the driver?

That's the disturbing part, and provincial Solicitor General
Russ Fraser,.when asked that question on a television news show,
had a disturbing answer. What he said, in summary, was that owners
of vehicles should be responsible for the actions of people to whom

the owners lend their vehicles.

We're certainly not legal experts but we suspect Mr. Fraser
might have difficulty making that statement stick in a court case.

It was definitely a job well done.

However, I do find it a bit disap-
pointing that neither the Castlegar

worthy enough cause for an ap-
pearance. There was a turn-out of
about 400 people which to me proves
it was a good show.

that’s the day we’re on extremely tight
deadlines to produce the Wednesday

I write this letter as a resident of

I cannot believe that Celgar would

would result in more opposition to an

Letters to the editor

Suggestion clarified |

I have been impressed by the
general level of concern expressed by
the majority of people who have writ-
ten letters to the editor on the
Proposed Celgar pulp mill expansion.

There is, however, a level of reac-
tion to the proposal that still is being
expressed basely solely upon feelings
and emotions.

While feelings and emotions have
their place within human relations, I
believe they should be left out of any
attempt to persuade the public.

There also appears to be a measure
of misunderstanding among the
public concerning my proposed
recycling of post-consumer fibre in
the pulping process at Celgar.

I was not proposing that Celgar use
newspaper or magazines but only that
the company use fibre of the same
quality as Celgar now produces.
Because of the small quantity of post-
consumer fibre available in this region
on-a_ weekly basis compared to the

mill's” daily pulp

would be unnecessary.

That means that the only additional
Piece of equipment that would have to
be installed would be an agitation
tank, not unlike a washing machine in
function. The fibre, after being

jtated with ordinary water, could

be incorporated into the régular
pulp process at the same stage as the
pulped chips. They would be run
through the peroxide bleaching
Process with the rest of the pulp and
come out as white pulp and same
quality and color as Celgar’s present
product. There should be no decrease
in value. If anything, this product
would have a larger market at a higher
retail price than conventional paper.
Thus it is logical to assume that
Celgarcould get a higher price per
tonne.

I will not respond in kind to Mr.
Fred Peitzsche, a member of Celgar’s
management team, who defamed the
reputations of myself and my

would like to encourage the residents

of this region to continue their efforts
to see a‘full and public examination of
the Celgar proposal. Recently, I
was approached by a group of
Nelson-area business people who
knew nothing of the proposal and
wanted information. This tells me
three things.

One, CIPE’s work is not over.
Two, Celgar has yet to inform all
those who will be affected by its
plans. Three, the provincial gover-
mment through its major project
review process, has not done its job.

Above all, I hope that all the people
who will be affected by this project
will be allowed to participate in the

Celgar supported

I support the expansion of the
Celgar pulp mill.

Firstly, the open-house sessions put
on by Celgar officials and the infor-
mation office staffed by retired com-
pany employees lead me to believe
that the best technology available will
be used in the expansion.

Secondly, after speaking to an of-
ficer employed at the mill, I believe all

I recently voted in favor of the expan-
sion. Letters by Mr. Peitzsche—and
Mr. Papp, which seem only to defame
or demoralize, do not add any
credibility to their employer either.

If the public is indeed not informed
or ignorant of the issues, then perhaps
Celgar should hold public meetings
throughout the region to inform us.

The area communities are concer-
ned about the economic and en-

i issues of the \°
Many people are very supportive of
the expansion but feel there are many
outstanding issues. What we need is a
public review process that will take
our proposed solutions and our input,
a public process that will enable all of
us to openly assess and deal with the
problems we are facing. We, the
public, do not need more rhetoric and
manipulation by industry and the
government

I therefore accept the challenge of
Mr. Peitzsche to do better than
the Coalition for Information on the
Pulp Mill Expansion in informing the
public. Perhaps Celgar will write two
articles every week in all regional
Papers and hold a public meeting
every week. This could be better than
what the company is doing. This
would be many times better than what
is currently being done by Celgar.

these is our federal "s in-

to confine myself to just one aspect —

change in policy.

In the Toronto Globe and Mail of
Feb. 21, on page 10, in ery short
article, one finance official is reported
as saying, “‘But ‘those veterans just

ing up their estates’ will have to
pay the increases out of their own
pockets.””

If one accepts this explanation, it
becomes clear that building up an
estate is a pernicious undertaking. If
this is so, then it follows that we
should immediately put into effect a
weighty estate tax.

Charging our war veterans for ser-
vices and revoking payments to help
them stay out of hospitals will bring in
only a small amount of revenue. The
take will inexorably decrease as our
aging veterans fade away. On the
other hand, if we institute a well-
thought-out estate tax we can be
assured of a source of revenue that
will continue well into the future.

Even in its first year, we can expect
this tax to yield far more than the
paltry $17.3 million our government
Proposes to extract from our
veterans.

Our moral debt to these men and
women is far greater than the
mon debt we row hear so much

about. To repudiate it for the sake of
a few million dollars would be a
disgrace to Western democracy. To
even suggest that we do so is prima
facie evidence that we have put in

ting upon the bylaw. i

Comment obvious

On page A2 of the March 18 issue
of the Castlegar News there was a
news headline written by the
News staff which said,
“Broader statement needed, MLA
says."’

This archaic pronouncement is as
useless as saying, ‘‘The world is
round."” Most of the alarm and
anxiety was expressed by the citizens
of the Castlegar area in numerous let-
ters printed in your paper over the
time these issues were news.

Back'jssues of your paper would at-
test to this fact.

The shutdown of the Castlegar
ferry, the ever-increasing truck traffic
through Castlegar, the inadequate

provision of the design of the High-
way 3 - Highway 22 intersection
(which the Ministry of Highways
promised to modify — whatever that
means) prompts me to say, ‘‘How
much broader in scope could one ask
for?’”

The NDP ‘convention
i the
calling for re-instatement of the ferry
was “‘right-on’’ and deserves the
unqualified support of everyone con-
cerned and not the negative
