The political hopetuls, that is. And w@ go to the polls in 24 days to decide which of them will serve us for the next term in office That's right: Serve us. That's what MLAs are supposed to do when they get down to Victoria, though sometimes some of them torget this : But they're not the only ones Voters also seem to forget. We tend to sit back and let ourselves » be led around by the nose. But that's not what should hap- pen — especially during an elec- tion. Elections are a time to make politicians listen to our concerns and our wishes, and demand that they follow up on them. TO CASTLEGAR Politicians should be prepared to map out clearly the direction they plan to take this region and this province over the next few years. easy, offering enticing promises Style will be very important in this election... ..-having said that, I think you'll agree I've got it in spades. here and slick there. But it is partly because the voters don't demand enough of them So when NDP leader Bob Skelly or Premier Bill Vander Zalm ap- pear on the evening news or are quoted in the newspaper, it’s up to us to look past their latest promises (and there will be plenty of them) to something with a little more substance. Election campaigns aren't only for politicians — they're for voters And somethings they require a lit- tle effort Mill sale beneficial The sale of Westar Timber's Celgar Pulp Operations to a con- sortium of two Montreal com panies and a Chinese bank can mean nothing but good news for Castlegar. The optimism stems from the fact that the new owners will be in @ position to bring a fresh flow of capital to the mill. That wasn't the case with Westar. Westar, a subsidiary of the debt- plagued B.C. Resources Investment Corp., claimed for years that it couldn't afford to make major im- provements to the pulp mill. That created some concern in the com- munity about the mill's economic viability as it grew older. (There were even some who said Westar planned to run the mill until it gave out and then clos: But that concern should be alleviated now that Consolidated- Bathurst and Power Corp. of Canada are involved. Both are companies with a solid financial footing. But the sale won't only benefit the pulp mill. The $95 million price tag will enable B.C. Resources to pay down some of its debt, but it will also provide much-needed funds for modernization at the Southern Wood Products sawmill. In effect, both the pulp mill and sawmill could emerge much stronger from this agreement. And that means Castlegar will move in- to the next decade with a stable economic base The federal government's new sanctions against South Africa have accomplished something even bottle-smashing protesters and poison threats couldn't: The re moval of South African wines from B.C. liquor store shelves But while Ottawa has managed to win over the B.C. government's mind, it still hasn't won its heart. Consumer and Corporate Affairs Minister Elwood Veitch made that clear Friday when he said the pro vincial government's position hasn't changed Veitch said the Liquor Distri bution Branch won't order any more South African wines or spirits, com. plying with the federal law that takes effect Oct. 1. But he still contends individuals should be free in a democracy to make a choice as to whether they want to boycott something The interesting point about all this is that not only doesn’t the federal Tory government buy B.C.’s argument, but neither do any of the other nine provinces. And six ot them are under Conservative ad ministrations. Even Alberta, with its Jim Keeg stras and white supremacist groups (and perhaps the philo sophically to the B.C. government) has long since stopped importing spirits from South Africa It begs the question why B.C.'s Socred government is the government to “see the light” on this issue Of course, the answer is that the argument doesn't hold up under close scrutiny. Oh, it would in a perfect world and a perfect demo closest only Ron Norman cracy. But this country and this province is far from a democratic utopia In an ideal democracy, I would be able to walk into the Castlegar liquor store and buy any wine from anywhere in the world. But I can't I can’t buy a cheap but delicious wine I had once in California, though not for any political reason. It's straight economics. Just like I can’t buy any French or any German wine I want. I can't even buy any Canadian wine I want all because of economic barriers So, we don’t really have the kind of freedom of choice Veitch suggests we have. In fact, he and his ministry have been telling me all along the types of wine I can and cannot buy So why all the fuss about not being able to buy South African wines? Mayor Audrey Moore's comments about the transit system display a slight naivete — and if there's any thing you can say about Moore, it's that she certainly isn’t naive I'm talking of course about her remark that Chuck Rose, vice-presi dent of the Selkirk College student society, had a huge influence on Municipal Affairs Minister Rita Johnston's decision to grant the city a transit system Ok, so Rose's comments at the Union of B.C. Municipalities con vention earlier this month in Vernon may have made an impact on Johnston. But the announcement also came two days after the election call. Coincidence? Even I'm not that naive Letters to the Editor Is Brisco listening? I am writing with reference to Bob Brisco's Sept. 21 letter to the Castlegar News concerning sanctions against South Africa. First of all, I really object to the headline “Kristiansen’s case. for sanc- tions destroyed”. Bob certainly pres. ents a different perspective to Lyle's but I don't think he “destroys” anything. It's ironic that a headline so misrep! ive of the contents of the letter should be on the same page as the Castlegar New's response to Kay Johnson's criticism of “one-sided- ness and bias.” To give weight to his perspective, Bob Brisco quotes extensively from Chief Buthelezi, head of the Zulus in South Africa. This tribe makes up less than one-quarter of the black pop- ulation in South Africa and Buthelezi's views are by no means universally accepted by all Zulus. It should also be noted that -his is virtually the only voice from a black in a leadership position which is arguing that an expanding South African economy is the key to destroying apartheid because, out of economic MLA report doesn't say anything I have just read our local MLA’s report entitled “Where to from here?” and can only be charitable enough to say it is confasing enough to represent the comments of a true politician — it doesn't say anything. The concern of the people I have talked with about this issue is: Why is this Canadian company being sold to an American corporation? Obviously, this corporation is buying West Kootenay Power not for the benefit of its customers, but to make a profit. West Kootenay Power has been a better than average corporate citizen with local concerns. The regional districts were interested in buying this company, but the offer was squashed by Victoria. 4: The history ef public power in the Kootenays is a story of one sell-out after another! examples are Kaslo, Grand Forks, and Revelstoke, but these were sold to Canadian comp. anies. Now we are being told by “our glorious leaders” that “that this will bring a smattering of hope.” I have a “smattering of hope” that this issue will be raised in the next provincial election campaign and that the numerous candidate hopefuls will have more meaningful answers Pat Romaine Castlegar Please address all Letters to the Editor to: The Castlegar News, P.O.

Only in very exceptional cases will letters be published without the writer's name. Never theless, the name and address of the writer must be disclosed to the editor The Castlegor News reserves the right to edit letters for brevity clarity, legality and grammar necessity, the black population will have to become increasingly involved. The fact is, this hasn't happened after years and years of economic expansion in South Africa and there are few, ifany, signs that it will happen without a major intervention of some sort. It is my assumption that both Chief Buthelezi and Bob Brisco do not really see the need for major structural change in South Africa other than removing the “color barriers". I'd guess they both believe in the “power of the free market system” and in the “trickle down” theory of development which holds that if enough wealth is generated some of it will eventually reach the poor. I would argue that history has shown us that although the South African regime may well at times make room for a few wealthy blacks, any move toward fundamental structural change that would give real economic and political power to the black majority will continue to be met by the full force of state terror as we have seen year after year in that country Tl quote from a recent letter from Father Thomas Anthony, from St Mary's Anglican Church in Kerrisdale, who on a 1980 visit to South Africa, was jailed along with 51 other church leaders for walking peacefully into Johannesburg to protest the detention of a fellow church member. He says jow, finally, the world has come to realize what has been going on: as soon as any real rights or power or leadership has been attained by blacks, or there is any semblance of challenge or threat to the incredible “10-1 ratio” of privileges and benefits provided to whites economically and socially, then the rights and the leaders are removed. Today thousands of the real leaders of South Africa are languishing in jails or are under house arrest or have been forced into exile by the nationalist regime.” If you listen to the hundreds of leaders from both inside and outside South Africa who are representative of a wide spectrum of political and religious beliefs, you'll hear from the great majority of them a cry for fundamental restructuring within South Africa so as to build a society that can be responsive to the needs and aspirations of the majority poor. These same voices are calling for support from the western international com- munity through the application of sanctions. I have no doubt real change is coming to South Africa and if we Canadians want to have good relations with the new South Africa, I think we have no choice but to listen to the voices calling for change and then act to support them. In that way we will be in real solidarity with all those South Africans who want to build a just society in their extraordinarily beaut iful country Bob Brisco, are you listening?

(page A2. Sept. 17 CasNews)? I find it rude and lacking in your coverage to not have Matt Gallo's name below the photograph. Matthew Gallo has been a longtime Castlegar resident He attended school here, is a member of St. Rita's church, is a director for parents for quality education and has been a letter carrier for the city for years!

He displays a degree of credulity with respect to South Africa, however, which I find difficult to believe is totally innocent. Mr. Brisco by no means alone in this, and is joined in many of his arguments by, among others, Elwood Veitch and our new premier, Bill Vander Zalm. Mr. Brisco quotes Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi at length to support his con tention that “there is opposition to full-seale economic sanctions against South Africa.” Opposition, further- more, that is not identified with pro- apartheid opinion. Chief Buthelezi, we are told, is “chief of the South African Zulus, by far the largest contingent of South Africa's blacks, numbering 5.7 million”. Chief Buthelezi, who is “head of state” of one of the so-called “home. lands” (which are not recognized anywhere outside of South Africa), does not support economic sanctions. But who supports Chief Buthelezi? The London Sunday Times in August, 1985, surveyed blacks in Johannesburg and Durban (two of the country's main urban areas) and found that 49 per cent said Nelson Mandela, jailed leader of the banned African National Congress (ANC), would make the best president for South Africa. Bishop Desmond Tutu was the choice of 24 per cent of blacks in the same survey. Chief Buthelezi, on the other hand, received only six percent of the support of blacks in these areas. In Natal-KwaZulu, Chief Buthelezi’s own territory, a survey by the Institute of Black Research found that the anti Buthelezi camp of ANC, UDF (United Democratic Front) and Bishop Tutu were supported by 37 per cent of those surveyed, compared to 34 per cent for Buthelezi. It is no surprise to informed ob- servers of developments in South Africa that Chief Buthelezi’s Inkatha organization is allowed to organize and hold rallies, while other organizations like the UDF are suppressed by force. Indeed, even Chief Buthelezi himself, whatever his views on economic sanc No fury like Socreds spurned The tasteless Socred strategy of sleaze and innu. endo directed at the office of the MLA discredits the So ered Party and insults the intelligence of the electorate in Rossland-Trail Only a few weeks ago So ereds here and in Victoria were attempting to entice Chris D'Arcy into their fold He's too popular, they said. and Rossland-Trail would backs become phants never go Socred without him. Suddenly the MLA who has stood like a rock against water taxes, and Socred cut in education, care, and social services has with the local Socred synco- Hell hath no fury like the Socred Party spurned Dennis Blatchford tions might be, apparently believes that “if Mr. Nelson Mandela, in a democratic South Africa, were elected by the majority, he (Chief Buthelezi) would be willing to serve under him.” This is documented in the findings of the Commonwealth Eminent Persons Group of South Africa. I remind Mr. Brisco of the findings of the Commonwealth Eminent Persons Group, which talked with Chief Buth- elezi and many other individuals and organizations before issuing its report. On the question of economic mea- sures in response to Pretoria’s in transigence, the Eminent Persons So who supports against South Africa? Nelson Mandela, of course, as well as the ANC, the South African Congress of Trade Unions, the United Democratic Front, Bishop Tutu, the governments of ib Zambia, and Angola, and many other leaders and organizations in Southern Africa, as well as a majority of the black people in South Africa, according to research by the London Sunday Times and the In stitute of Black Research. The truth is that imposing strict economic sanctions against South Africa is not enough. Canada and other western nations should also undertake a massive program of assistance to the front-line states. The government of South Africa, unlike Mr. Brisco, has no qualms about imposing economic (not to mention military) sanctions of its own against neighboring countries, and has no doubts about the efficacy of such measures. ~ We should be materially assisting the ANC and other opposition organi zations as well, particularly if the West is really serious about countering the influence of the Soviet Union and Cuba Group luded: “The question in front of heads of government is in our view clear. It is not whether such measures will compel change; it is already the case that their absence and Pretoria’s belief that they need not be feared, defers change. Is the Common wealth to stand by and allow the cycle of violence to spiral? Or will it take concerted action of an effective kind? Such action may offer the last opportunity to avert what could be the worst bloodbath since the Second World War.” The alternative to strong action is not “peaceful change” or “negotia- tions”. The alternative to economic sanctions against South Africa is appeasement of racism and succor the virulent fascist tendency of a sub- stantial part of the white population in South Africa. The imposition of eco nomic sanctions against South Africa will not cause apartheid to “disappear overnight”. But to fail to act, and act decisively, is to accept complicity in the crime of apartheid, with-all that that entails. Derek Todd Castlegar Thanks for the help The ladies of the Fall Fair Associa- tion would like to thank the many women, men and children who entered our fair, as well as all those who came out to support it last Saturday. Of course last, but by far least, thank you to all the companies and local businesses who so generously donated numerous prizes and raffles. We are proud to say that all our hard work paid off by the fact that the fair itself was a tremendous success and we are looking forward to doing it again next year However, the one sour note is that of the Fall Fair Frolic. The music by Skip Fraser's Band was excellent and those who turned out to support this dance in Robson had a wonderful time. It’s a shame that the majority of residents in Robson and Castlegar couldn't have thought it worthy to attend. Due to the apparent lack of interest for a dance held in Robson we must decline from focussing any energies in that direction in the future. Linda Krull for the Fall Fair Association Auxiliary hears about hospice The Ladies Auxiliary to the Castlegar-Robson Branch No. 170 of the Royal Can- adian Legion, held its first meeting Sept. 22 after a summer recess, with 22 members attending and President Dorothy Fleming presiding Fleming introduced guest speaker Marg MacBain who gave the ladies a talk on Hospice, a newly-formed group which is volunteering its services to the com munity. More detailed infor- mation will be fortheoming in the near future. The minutes from the previous meeting were read by secretary Pearl Zorn, followed by the treasurer's report by Terry Kruse. The following committee reports were then given. Membership-nil, Catering: Helen Leduc reported the stamp club had its yearly dinner Sept. 27 Cards and Flowers: Ruth Rourke reported on sending to hospital- patient June Rourke, a sympathy card to Ann MacDonald, and birth day cards to Ann MacDonald and Rose Johnson. Shut-ins: Edna Dodgson made frequent calls to Mary Krull who is doing quite well. Bingo: nil. Public Relations: nil. Entertainment: nil. Hospital Visits Report was given by Pearl Mott with 101 for July, 113 for August and, with the help of Erma Mykyte, 95 visits to date for September and will continue on for the month of October. The fall tea will be held Oct. 24 with positions ac cepted by the ladies to or ganize it. Raffle tickets will be on sale with first prize a food voucher valued at $100, second prize is a large doily donated by Pearl Zorn. There will also be a door prize. Helen Leduc has resigned as caterer and Pearl Mott has accepted the position. Helen Leduc was also congratulated on receiving her life membership for her many years of work with the Legion and the community. She stated she was quite shocked when it was pre- sented to her at the dinner held Sept. 20 with the Branch and Ladies Auxiliary mem- bers in attendance. A going away gift was also presented to Rose Lucas who is moving to Kelowna. A donation was given to the Hospice Society. A zone council méeting is being held in Salmo this weekend with Dorothy Flem- ing and Pearl Mott attending. Luncheon was served by Rose Lucas and Joan Blais. The door prize was donated by Edie Dunn. Marge Rafter was the winner. The next meeting will be held Oct. 27. Weekly stocks VANCOUVER (CP) — Prices were mixed in very active trading Friday on the Vancouver Stock Exchange.

When Mulroney left a meeting early last May with Nakasone in Tokyo he thought he had a commit ment that the Japanese government would lift its tight building restrictions on wood-frame homes. The restrictions limit wood-frame buildings to iwo storeys in major urban areas and are seen as a major barrier to increasing lumber exports to Japan. Canadian officials who at tended the meeting between the two leaders were quick to pass on the good news, telling reporters that Naka sone had said the building code was not just going to be amended but was already in the process of change The move by the Japanese, already buying $400 million a year worth of Canadian lum ber. would provide a “mas and the move would pro foundly affect employment in Western Canada Five months later the code remains intact “The matter is still under discussion at the ministry concerned,” Eiichi Sato, commercial counsellor at the Japanese Embassy, said this week Asked if the code would eventually be amended, Sato said he was not sure, adding that he hoped there would be some positive results in the “near future.” Moving to White Rock or South Surrey?
