Probe into Coquihalla completed

VICTORIA (CP) — Massive cost overruns on the
billion-dollar Coquihalla Highway in British Columbia were
deliberately kept from the public for political reasons, a
provincial inquiry has concluded.

Inquiry commissioner Douglas MacKay, appointed to
investigate the massive cost overruns on the highway's
construction, said in his report the legislature was misled by
documents presented by the government of former premier
Bill Bennett.

“These deliberate and planned actions were politically
and were di to give the impression that the
Coquihalla Highway was on budget,” says the report
released Tuesday.
The inquiry did not detail what the political motivations
were in hiding the true costs of the highway, which will be
about 300 kilometres in length when fully completed.

But during public hearings, the inquiry was told
construction was rushed so the highway could open for Expo
86. Bennett celebrated the official opening of the highway by
being driven down the blacktop in a flashy convertible.

The Coquihalla cost now totals $998.4 million. The
original estimate was $600 million for three phases.

The NDP Opposition called the overruns a cover-up by
the Social Credit government and immediately sought a
one-day recall of the to establish a ittee to
it the C and di political account-

ability.
However, Premier Bill Vander Zalm rejected the NDP
demands, saying they were attempting to stir up further
controversy.
“I'm not out to nail anyone on this,” said Vander Zalm.
“I think we can look back and make judgements which ever
way we wish it, but I don’t think there's any point in mud-

stirring or nailing anyone or anything.”
PROBE COVER-UP

NDP highways critic Dale Lovick said because MacKay

had a mandate only to deal with administrative, not political,
al should

“the cover-up and misappropriation of public funds.

“We must clear the air,” he said. “We must go the next
step beyond, to talk beyond administrative accountability, to
talk about political accountability.”

Moe Sihota, NDP justice critic, said Attorney General
Brian Smith should investigate Treasury Board members
under the Financial Administration Act.

He also said Vander Zalm should ask the Lt.-Gov.
Robert Rogers to waive the oath of secrecy which shielded
government officials from public testimony during the
MacKay inquiry.

Prior to Expo, the Bennett government said repeatedly
that the only toll road in Canada, which links the Vancouver
area and Fraser Valley with the interior of the province, was
on budget.

MacKay doubted whether the highway would have been
completed if its true costs had been revealed. Tolls on the
highway were increased $10 from $8 for cars on Sept, 1.
Trucks pay up to $50 depending on their size.

In the report, the result of public hearings over five
months, MacKay said neither the Highways Ministry nor the
Treasury Board had an adequate system for authorizing,
controlling and reporting on the project.

MacKay also said there was no overall plan for the
highway and that major change and additions were made
without proper documentation or approval.

Highways Minister Stephen Rogers said changes will be
made in the ministry to deal with the criticisms.

Celgar testin

By BRENDAN NAGLE
Staff Writer ‘
Celgar pulp mill is testing its effluent for dioxins.

“There's a. tendency amongst people to think the
worst,” Celgar general manger Wilf Sweeney said in an
interview. “We're working to find out how dioxins can be
eliminated from the pulp process.”

He said the company does not know how long the
testing will take to produce results.

Sweeney said the pulp mill already adheres to pro-
vincial chemical but the
recent discovery of dioxins in the kraft-pulp process has led
the CPPA to start its own tests.

“Under (provincial) permits we have to measure
effluent and air emissions,” Sweeney said. “Every two years
we monitor the river (for raw chemical sewage).”

He the rs has no program in
place to monitor dioxin emissions from the mill.

“It's-only within the past few years that dioxins have
been identified,” said Carl Johnson, Kootenay region waste
management section head. “Our people in Victoria are going
to be evaluating dioxin test results from Ontario mills.”

Johnson said the cost of measuring dioxins is too
expensive at the moment.

“If there is enough information (of dioxins) to come out
of ongoing studies, there may be a change in provincial
government studies,” he added.

It now is known that the bleach kraft pulp process —
which Celgar uses in manufacturing its pulp — is one of the
Processes in which dioxins result.

Dioxin is a mame given to a family of chemical
compounds formed — in this case — by the combustion

the most toxic synthetic chemical known to man.

In recent studies conducted in the United States,

some suffered from cancer and others were unable to

SANTA CLAUS
WEARS REEBOKS
IN CALIFORNIA

By JEFF WILSON
Associated Press

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — In the sun-struck, palm-
studded fantasy world of Hollywood, Santa wears a Rolex
watch, white Reeboks athletic shoes, Cartier eyeglasses
and pulls candy canes out of a leather Louis Vuitton bag.

Madonna, Imelda Marcos, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Cher,
Valerie Harper, Burt Bacharach, Monty Hall, Jessica
Tandy, Hume Cronyn, Charles Bronson, Jill Ireland, and
even Jackie Onassis have told Brady (Santa) White their
Christmas wishes.

Despite appearances, celebrities don't always have
their wants fulfilled, and those in the lap of luxury
eagerly whisper champagne wishes into the ear of the
Santa to the Stars.

“Madonna jokingly asked me if she could be a virgin
for Christmas, and I said, ‘Santa can't work miracles,’ ”
White said.

One of the singer's big hits has been the song Like A
Virgin.

White gets up to $2,500 US an appearance and
prefers to be called Santa.

SANTA'S IN STYLE

How old is he? “Santa is ageless,” White said in an
interview Tuesday before he had his hair and natural
beard styled at a swank Beverly Hills salon.

white played Kris Kringle at the glittering Beverly
Centre mall for five years before celebrity demand forced
him to give up that job.

my”

“I__ speak to the children as an ‘80s, hip, a now-type
Santa,” White says of encounters with youngsters. “I
keep up with the toys. Baby Heather is this year's hit for
the girls and Nintendo (a computer game) is what the
boys want.”

He said his most outrageous moment at the Beverly
Centre was when the wife of Ferdinand Marcos, the
deposed Philippine leader, walked up to hire him.

“She asked me to a private party and I handed out
gold jewelry to her staff, then she gave me a $400 tip.”

At the Bacharach home last year, a ton of snow was
trucked in, but Santa’s sleigh couldn't make it up the
steep driveway.

ED HELPS SANTA

“I was walking up the driveway and a limousine
pulled up,” White said. “The door opened and a voice
inside asked, ‘Santa, do you need a lift?

“It was Ed McMahon. He gave me aride up the steep
hill.”

For Jewish stars, White declares he's Hanu-Claus, as
in Hanukkah.

“When Barbra Streisand entered the Bacharach
house last year, I said, ‘Ho-h-ho, Hanu-Claus,’ and she
warmed up to me,” he said.

Last weekend, Bronson and Ireland hired White to
preside over their private party at the trendy Stock
Exchange club. White gave each guest, including
McMahon and Robert Wagner, a silver bookmark from
the married couple.

Passers-by frequently stop White on the street,
“especially is I'm wearing anything red,” and call him
Santa Claus. ;

\. (Onassis)... saw me on the street and sai

want a taxi,’ and I flagged one down and she said, ‘Thank
you.’ ”

Pope John Paul walked up to him during the pontiff's
California visit last September and said, “Santy Claus.”

“I knelt and he blessed me,” said White. He said
celebrities often don't ask for material things.

Evaluation proposal
for school district

By BONNE MORGAN
Staff Writer
Parents with children at
the Hobbit Hill Children's
Centre don't want to trans-
port their children out to

rural primary schools.

A letter from the centre
requesting assurance that
children attending Hobbit
Hill could ‘attend nearby
Castlegar Primary and Twin
Rivers schools was presented
at Monday's Castlegar school
board meeting.

“Hobbit Hill Children's
Centre formally request that
it be designated a ‘point of
origin’ for school children.
This official recognition
would enable parents who
use Hobbit Hill's serviees to
enroll children at Castlegar

School

Primary on the same first-
come, first-served basis as
other children who reside in
its service area,” the letter
said.

If Hobbit Hill is designated
a “point of origin” those at-
tending the centre will have
the same rights to attend
Castlegar Primary and Twin
Rivers as those who live in
the area, according to super-
intendent of schools Terry
Wayling.

Working mothers who live
in rural areas wouldn't have
to drive in and take their kids
to a rural kindergarten be-
cause the children are within
walking distance of Castlegar
Primary and Twin Rivers,
Wayling said.

Trustee Tony Guglielmi
proposed the evaluation at
Monday's board meeting. But
the board decided to first
look at the cost and pro-
cedures of other studies
before making a decision on 4
local evaluation. Guglielmi's
Proposal will be discussed

“There may well be some
obvious things we're doing or
not doing in the district that
might improve the efficiency,
the effectiveness, and per-
haps the communications
practices with the commun-
ities with whom we deal and
maybe we just don't see
them,” he said.

Guglielmi said an evalua-
tion of the high school had
brought about a number of
good points, besides the
condition of the buildings
that have been acted upon
without a large cost to the

year parents encountered
that problem.

We ran into a bit of dif-
ficulty. You might recall, last
fall, with the heavy enrol-
ment of Kindergarten at the
Castlegar Primary, Wayling
said at the board meeting.

However, he added,
“There shouldn't be any
problem this year.”

Trustees will discuss Hob-
bit Hill's request at the next
education committee meet-
ing.

“I strongly feel if we go
through with the evaluation
exercise of the district we
may be pointed out items we
can act upon without spend.
ing a great deal of money,” he
said.

Trustee Evelyn Voykin
expressed concern that
money might be wasted on att
external evaluation.

“If we are going to put out
a large amount of money, and
Tm not sure what an evalua-

tion would cost, then we as a
board better be willing to
accept what that evaluation
has given us and not end-up
on some bookshelf collecting
dust and it's been my exper
ience that’s where they end
up,” she said.

“The expense, although (it)
can be valuable at times, can
be quite costly when you use
external people and bring
them quite a distance,” trus-
tee Rick Pongracz said.

Wayling said the evalua-
tion done of the Nelson school
district was very expensive
because it was done by a pro-
fessional consulting team.

He pointed out a three-to-
four-day evaluation of the
Nakusp District was done by
“retired and expired sec-
retary-treasurers and super-
intendents” from another
district, avoiding the large
cost of a professional evalua.
tion.

Unadvised
system built

VICTORIA (CP) — A
bridge and highway system
in the Annacis Island area of
the Fraser River near New
Westminster was initiated
with minimal technical ad
vice, says Coquihalla High-
way inquiry commissioner
Douglas McKay.

His report into cost over-
runs on the Coquihalla also
says that when the decision
was made to build the major
Fraser River crossing near
Annacis Island little technical
advice was available or
sought.

When the project was
announced in 1980, the cost
was estimated at $30 million.
The ministry now estimates
the cost will be about $485
million when it is completed
next year.

McKay says the original
figure was on a con-
sultant’s preliminary report
mainly concerned with traffic
patterns and the main bridge
and the report was inad-
equate for other parts of the
project.

Man feared AIDS

PENTICTON, B.C. (CP) — A man who refused to
take a breath analysis test because he believed the
technician was a homosexual and might give him
AIDS, was fined $990 Tuesday in provincial court.

Hugh Ross, 52, of Kelowna, B.C., pleaded guilty to
refusing to provide a breath sample.

Court was told RCMP in nearby Summerland
received an anonymous tip about a possible impaired
driver Aug. 30-and they later located the vehicle and
signalled the driver to pull over.

Ross, who produced

his Royal Canadian Legion

membership card when police asked for his driver's
license, had two previous drinking driving convictions,

court was told.

Search called off

COMOX, B.C. (CP) —

A search for a twin-engi:

plane with four people on board, missing since Dec. 4,
ended Tuesday, a search and rescue spokesman said.

The Britten-Norman Islander, which is capable of
carrying 10 passengers, went down on a flight from
Bella Coola, on the central British Columbia coast, to
Campbell River on ‘Vancouver Island.

It disappeared in the Mount Waddington area of
the towering Coast Mountain range, about 120 kilo-
metres north of Campbell River.

Aboard the plane were pilot Dave Mason of Bella
Coola, Dale Chase and Ralph Arndt of Courtenay,
B.C., and Len Barkley of Union Bay, B.C.

$60,000 gym
floor may be

Castlegar school board is con-
sidering replacing Stanley Hump-
hries secondary school's $60,000
gym floor installed just six months

ago.

Terry Wayling, superintendent of
schools, said he is extremely dis-
satisfied with the quality of the floor
and is to meet with the contractor to
discuss the floor's deficiencies.

“I spoke to the architect myself
this morning. I said, ‘Are you as dis-
satisfied with the floor as we are?’
He said, ‘Yes’,” Wayling told the
board Monday.

“We may have to tear that floor
up and put a new one down. That's a
possibility.”

Wayling told the CasNews prob-
lems with the gym floor started
with last year’s grad dance.

“We noticed the impressions of
the girls’ high heels left almost
permanent abrasions on the floor,”
Wayling said, adding that the floor
must be multi-purpose.

“It's not just for running shoes.”

Wayling said the seal on the
hardwood floor was also broken by
the friction ereated from people
sitting on benches at a volleyball
tournament.

“There have been ongoing prob-
lems,” he said.

There are cracks between the
wood tiles, indicating shrinkage.
And the floor appears to have
warped in several places.

“You can feel the surface of the

slight difference
Wayling said,
referring to the warping.

The warranty on the floor stip-
ulates the school district must be
“totally satisfied” with the floor and
installation or the contractor will
have to “correct it”, Wayling said.

He said he is hoping the fleor will
not have to be replaced.

“That school didn't have a gym for
a full year, and we were very con-
cerned about that,” said Wayling.

The floor itself took only a few
days to complete after preparations
had been made, although total reno-
vations to the gym took one year, he
explained.

“We certainly wouldn't want to
tear up the gym floor during the

BOARD PLEDGES

School won't close

By BONNE MORGAN
Staff Writer

Castlegar school board assured parents of students at
Tarrys Elementary school Monday that the school will not
be closed.

The board gave the assurance after receiving a letter
from Gail Maki-Richards in which Maki-Richards expressed
concern that the Kindergarten and Grade 6 classes at Tarrys
school would be eliminated.

“T also received a letter from the co-chairman of the
parents group,” said schools superintendent Terry Wayling.
“In essence, my reply to both“of these people is that their
concerns are duly noted and will be passed on to the long
range planning committee. But they have been assured that
Tarrys school is not going to close. It’s not up for discussion.”

Diseussion around the board table revealed that
trustees are aware of rumors about a total closure of Tarrys
school.

“Unfortunately, some information got out and the
parents interpreted that the school was going to close,”
Wayling said.

“They saw that (the relocation of Kindergarten and
Grade 6) as the first step to closing their school . . . I think
it’s a much bigger issue than just Grade 6s going to KJ
(Kinnaird Junior secondary school),” he said.

Maki-Richards's letter explained that she would enrol
her children in the Nelson school district from Kindergarten
through senior high school if Tarrys n is closed.

“Kindergarten children now leave home at 7:30 to.get to
Tarrys school. If they went to Castlegar, they would have to
leave earlier... My son on the other hand would be happy
with the friends he has made in his junior/senior years since
it will be with the friends he has made in the first seven,” the
letter stated.

Trustee Evelyn Voykin supported Maki-Richards's

position, adding that many parents feel the same way.

“Four out of six (rural) schools closed and that’s what
they are worried about. If I wasn't sure what was happening
with my school district, I would take the next step and enroll
them in another district,” she said.

Maki-Richards's letter voiced concern that Grade 6
students will be moved to KJSS with more mature students.

Trustee Rick Pt pointed out, as Maki-Richards
did in her letter, that KJ students do not all participate in
the same activities.

“I think it should be known the decision has been made
that some of the activities (dances) that take place for the
older students are not activities the younger students are
welcomed to,” Pongracz said.

He said the uncertainty of the “Grade 6 situation” is
something a parent faces as soon ag his child is in Kinder-
garten and the district's position on KJ as a “middle school”
should be made clear to the community.

“Maybe the thought of the name from
Kinnaird Junior to something that more reflects what the
‘Sehool is all about is a necessary step hat we should be
taking,” Pongraez said.

Maki-Richards’s letter also voiced
8 students being moved to Stanley Hum}
school.

“Someone only entering their teen years could not be
mixed with someone leaving their teen years’. . . I can also
envision 13 year olds seeing the older students smoking,
drinking, doing drugs, dating and thinking this is normal
practice for a high school student,” the letter said.

Trustee Tony Guglielmi said he saw “some danger” in
