OPINION

Proposed tax
hike too high

It's as certain as snow in the Kootenays most Castlegar
residents are unhappy with city council's consideration of a 6.5 per

cent increase in municipal taxes

We realize it’s early in council's long and often difficult

process of formulating a budget,

but some concrete examples of

what council intends to use the additional money tor would be help:
ful for taxpayers to understand the need for such an increase

Mayor Audrey Moore's vague promises of better service and
the possible need for additional city staff don't do much to assuage
annoyed taxpayers who think a 6.5-per-cent hike on the municipal

portion of their tax bills is too high.

The increase is even harder to swallow considering council
may place a $500,000 referendum on street paving before the voters
in the spring. Voters, of course, can reject referendums at the ballot
box and it's nice to see council consider giving péople that choice
rather than trying to impose an even more onerous tax increase to
pay for the much-needed road repairs within the city

But if council presses ahead with the referendum and voters

approve it
District of Central Kootenay and

if municipal taxes go up 6.5 per cent and if the Regional

the Castlegar school board raise

taxes, people are going to get a nasty urprise when they open their

tax bills next year

With an assessment base that has. grown by 4.7 per.cent, ac
cording to the city’s figures, and more tax revenue anticipated from
heavy industry (Celgar and Westar) thanks to the continuing removal

of tax exemptions for that class of

industry, council should be able to

count on some additional tax revenue without burdening residential
property owners with such a large increase.

Nuclear waste
worrisome

Weall know of the hazards posed by
the nuctear industry at the front end of
the fuel chain (uranium
mining)

During later stages, wastes even
more hazardous than uranium are
produced. These waste products (such
as plutonium) are known as high-level
nuclear waste (HLW). They are ex
tremely concentrated and must be kept
isolated from the environment for up
to 250,000 years. As little as one-
millionth of a gram of plutonium can
cause cancer and radiation will concen
trateasit moves up the food chain

As with household garbage, nuclear
waste must be handled safely and
responsibly to protect not only our-
selves but also future generations

The federal government recently
announced an environmental review to
determine how HLW should be han.
dled. These wastes are currently stored
in pools of water on the reactor sites.
Specifically, the review will look into
Ltd.

the

nuclear

proposal to permanently bury
waste in the Canadian Shield.

The review is expected to take up to
five years tocomplete. At this time, the
government has confirmed that public
hearings will be held in the three
provinces with reactors — Ontario,
Quebec and New Brunswick

The Canadian nuclear industry has
always been supported by our tax
dollars. So we are all involved indirec
tly with radioactive waste production

The government has not ruled out
public hearings for other provinces,

but these will only be scheduled if there
isacall fromthe citizens, _”

The terms of reference for the review
are too narrow. There will be no
examination of the principle of reduc-
tion of the waste at the source (the
mine). In fact, this question is
specifically ruled out

There is no simple solution to this
problem. However, to irretrievably
bury the waste in the ground may prove
negligent. For example, what'if a new
technology is developed to neutralize
this Our generation, as
producers of this waste, has a -big
responsibility to future generations.

We urge you to write your member
of Parliament requesting public
hearings in British Columbia — with
full disclosure of all facts needed to
assure ourselves that we are dealing
responsibly with this waste. Also, the
terms of reference should be expanded
to include source reduction

Locally, we have a good understan
ding of the hazards of uranium
mining. That was reflectect in the +987—
referendum on development of the
Blizzard mine

Since Canada’s 19 reactors are
fueled by uranium we have a special
responsibility to participate in this
decision. A decision which will deter-
mine what effect our nuclear waste will
have unto the 500th generation
(250,000 years). A decision which will
be made in our name

Red Cross active
in El Salvador

The El Salvador ha
been in the forefront of the news lately,
and as regional director for the
Kootenay Region of the Canadian Red
Tross Society, I want to let the public
know about the Red Cross activities in
this war-torn area

As the violence continues, the in
frastructure of hospitals throughout
the country is being strained by the
large number of wounded secking
help. Many parts of the capital were
inaccessible due to the heavy
fighting, and the International Com
mittee of the Red Cross has at times
been unable to receive guarantees so
that they may enter the conflict zones
to evacuate the wounded

The Red Cross delegation in San
Salvador and a sub delegation in San
Miguel have provided immediate
assistance to ensure the evacuation of
those wounded who are accessible and
have given medical supplies to the
Salvadoran Red Cross plus hospitals in
San Salvador and San Miguel

The following activities have been
started

© negotiation of access to all areas
and call for a truce;

© set upa plan for evacuation of the
wounded;

* support hospitals with personnel,

situation in

very

blood and medical supplies as needed;
* follow up the situation with visits
to those who have been captured; and
* evaluate the immediate needs of
the civilians.

Such work is an ongoing part of our
society’s mandate to respond to inter
national conflict situations. The Inter
national Committee of the Red Cross
is the arm of the Red Cross that han
dles these response efforts and works
to ensure respect for the Geneva Con

Optimism waning

As many of your readers are aware,
it looks as though a major moder-
nization and expansion of the Celgar
pulp mill is getting underway

My initial reaction was, ‘That's
Great! We'll finally get rid of the
pollution that’s been plaguing this
town since the mill was built and many
short and even some long term jobs will
be created."’
__Doubts are now starting to ove!
come my initial optimism: ee

I have concerns about the impact of

dards, the actual amount of waste,
which will still include dioxins and
other toxic compounds, may not be
much less than comes into our river
and air at present. ‘*Closed loop’’
systems could be installed which would
greatly reduce emissions, but we don’t
know, at present, what the plans are.
And what’s to prevent the mill
management from cranking up

production in a few years time to way

government opportunities for input in-
to what’s to happen before all the
decisions are made.

Ihave a couple of suggestions regar-
ding the issues I’ve raised.

First of all, there is an excellent
program being aired on Shaw Cable’s
community channel next week called
Poison in Paradise. It looks at the ef-
fects of pulp mills on the environment

roads, on our schools (which, unlike
the city, won't be allowed to collect
additional taxes on the expansion),
and the hospitals —
environment

I don’t see any evidence that city
council, the school and hospital boards
are working together to deal with the
impact over 1,000 construction
workers and a doubling of the mill’s
capacity will have on our community

I'm also realizing that even if the
new mill is designed to meet all present
Level A air and water emission stan

not to mention our

crease to levels higher than
at present

I've been told that the only way we
can ensure that the mill will be of any
real benefit is for us citizens to develop
the “‘political will”’ to put limits on the
levels of pollution, traffic and noise we
will tolerate. Only if we speak out
strongly will the government and com-
pany take our concerns seriously

There is no legal provision for public
input into this expansion. We are going
to have to create our own forums for
discussion and we are going to have to
demand of the company and the

Conditions w

The Celgar pulp mill has announced
that it intends to more than double its
consumption of chips. Company of-
ficials say this will benefit loggers in
this area

Perhaps it will, but that is what they
said when they built the pulp mill and
everyone knows it didn’t turn out that
way. |

They said they would chip poor
quality logs and for years they have

taken the better logs and bypassed the
poorer sites.

They said they would stabilize the
rural communities and instead they
have treated Revelstoke and Nakusp
like colonies to be plundered at will

They said they would make jobs for
loggers and I guess they did, breaking
the union, bankrupting the little mills,
and threatening every contractor who
ever asked for a decent rate to log or

Books on occult
in local school
alarm resident

Recently I received, by mistake, a
letter from an elementary school in the
Castlegar school district requesting |
return or pay for an overdue book
fromits library

I was alarmed to read the title of this
book: Curses, Hexes and Spells.
Phoning the librarian to correct her
misinformation, I voiced my concerns
regarding the presence of this book in
an elementary school’s library. I was
informed the book was ‘‘harmless’’
but there were other books in the
library dealing with the occult and wit
chcraft. These books were on the
Ministry of Education’s list of accep-
ted books for elementary schools.

Picking up the Castlegar News
(Dec.3), on the front page I read of the
banning of the Bible and the Lord’s
prayer from our school system. I
became more alarmed.

I find it totally unacceptable that we

and ourchildren should be encouraged
to embrace the religion of witches
while discriminating against the word
of God in our schools. Slowly, subtly,
we are being deceived, led down the
garden path while a complete
generation of young people is
unaware of the real meaning of
Christmas, who Jesus Christ really is
and why He came to planet Earth
That information is not found ina new
age book, it’s only found in the one of
our oldest — the Bible

The very book being scorned contains
all the answers to bring healing for the
spiritual, moral and political decay of
this nation. We cannot afford to
ignore it any longer. One of the keys
needed to begin restoring Canada is
found in II Chronicles 7:14. We must
be doers of the word and not hearers

truck his timber.

Now the pulp mill wants us to give it
our public highways as its private
haulroads so it can truck 100,000 loads
of chips a year into Castlegar and not
have to pay the railway cost of tran-
sportation. In addition, Celgar of-
ficials want us to believe |that
somewhere out there we have more
trees than we need and Celgar can have
trees to expand. Does anyone believe
that?

The annual allowable cut in the West
Kootenay is going to go down, not up.
Every faller, every treeplanter, every
trucker will tell you so. If the harvest
doesn’t come down, we will log our
selves right out of jobs

If the pulp mill is going to expand I
see two preconditions:

1. The company uses the railway to
haul its chips and not the highway

2. The company buys all its fibre
and all its chips on the market and gets
no quota

In the communities of Castlegar,

youth and—young people (girls
especially) must look elsewhere for
work regardless of the many qualities
they may possess. Jobs are few and far

An important visitor to Castlegar
next Tuesday will be the Hon. Dan
Campbell, minister of municipal af-
fairs.

Mr. Campbell will meet privately
that evening with representatives of the
twin villages of Castlegar and Kin-
naird

The meeting is being held at the
minister's request and he has not yet
indicated his reason for asking for it.
However, it is considered extremely
likely that discussions will centre
around the possible setting up of a
district municipality in this area.

Corporal Jim Band of the RCMP
(recently) spoke on juvenile
delinquency

Corporal Band said that there are
three types of juvenile delinquents: the
first offender, the accidental, and the
repeater. There is no proof that
juvenile delinquency is hereditary and
there is no evidence that it is caused by
bad movies and books.

The main cause is the lack of firm
control at home, he said, as well as
association with bad influences with
the lack of religious and character
training

Shoppers wait for sales

OTTAWA (CP) — Christm
shoppers are buying cautiously,
choosing practical gifts and waiting for
last-minute sales, retailers in Toronto,
Montreal and Vancouver say.

Hani Zayadi, chief executive officer
of Woodward's department stores,
said Christmas purchasing at his stores
‘*is dragging in the early days of
December."’

“The men's fashion area is weak,"’
he said in Vancouver. ‘‘In home
fashions, it’s not that bad but the ap-
parel area is lagging. It’s a reflection of
the overall spending slowdown (in the
economy).””

Despite sluggish sales, Zayadi said
the chain hasn't posted any major pre-
Christmas sale signs and doesn’t in-

tend to, That resistance to profit-
eating discounts was echoed by
retailers in Montreal and Toronto.

Daniele Bergeron, a vice-president
at Ogilvy’s, a specialty store in down-
town Montreal, said he sees no unusual
number of pre-Christmas sales in that
city. ‘‘The Bay and Eaton’s have star-
ted sales a bit-early this year, but they
always seem to be over-eager in my
opinion.”’

This Christmas will be crucial for
retailers, trying to top up year-end
profits after several months of flat
sales. As of the end of September,
retail sales excluding vehicles were up
6.3 per cent from the first nine months
of last year.

Safeway offers
employee buyouts

VANCOUVER (CP) — The
Safeway grocery chain is offering to
buy out its long-term employees with
lump-sum payments of up to $30,000,
but maintains it is committed to the
company~goal of having a mature
workforce.

Spokesman Don Bell said 3,000 of
the company’s 5,000 B.C. employees
are eligible for the one-time buyout,
but only 500 will be chosen to par-
ticipate.

Senior employees choosing to leave
the company will receive the payout
and generally will be replaced by new
workers whose hourly wages are
significantly less, he said.

“The basic concept of having ex-
perienced people is still with us,”’ he
said. ‘‘We have a much more mature
workforce than they (competitors) do.
We'll still have a greater percentage of
experienced workers than our com-
petitorsdo.””

The idea is to save labor costs by
providing a balance of experienced
workers while trying to increase the
number of employees at the lower star-
ting rate, Bell said. He wouldn’t say
how much Safeway hopes to save.

The buyout rates range from $2,000

TORONTO (CP) — Climbing gold
prices and poor economic news in the
United States sent the stock market up
in Canada this week even though it
slipped in New York

The Toronto Stock Exchange com-
posite 300 index climbed 13.2 points
Friday to close at 3,982.73, for a net
weeky gain of 24.08 points.

In New York, the Dow Jones in-
dustrial average rose 10.66 points
Friday to close at 2,731.44, for a net
loss of 16.42 points for the week

“The signs are indicating that the
économy is softening,’ said Jack
Stacey of Moss Lawson. ‘Things like
IBM eliminating 10,000 jobs and the
drop in auto sales are going to send a
signal to the Federal Reserve Board
that the U.S. economy is slowing
down.”’

But interest rates are likely to come
down slowly and, with the high-dollar
and high interest rates cutting into
company profits in Canada, the stock
market is unlikely to make any im-
mediate run-ups, Stacey said

On other Canadian markets, the
Montreal Exchange’s portfolio index
was up 2.03 points Friday to close at
2,021.04, a net gain of nine points for
the week, while the Vancouver Stock
Exchange index slipped .07 to 700.06,
anet loss of 19.44 points for the week.
