Phone 365-5210 for Full Details Teachers petition for Tuesday asking the provincial govern- ment to hold a formal inquiry into the bankruptcy of Teachers’ Investment and Housing Cooperative. “It's a lesson in history and it must be fully explained and it must be clearly ." McGauley said in presenting the petition on behalf of the co-op’s members. In a telephone interview today from Vancouver, McGauley said she and other members of a small committee who worked hard getting the signa- tures were pleased with the achieve- ment of one of their goals. “It wasn't like a public petition where you sit around in a shopping mall and wait for people to sign it. We had to find (the co-op's) members,” said McGauley, who modestly refuses to take credit for spearheading the fight to free about $264 million in uninsured deposits that were frozen last Novem. ber when the TIHC was placed in receivership. The co-op has about 45,000 members in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and the Yukon. However, McGauley and her com mittee failed in their attempt to have the provincial government guarantee & TIHC shortfall of about $65 million and have a major financial institution take over the co-op. Di. overy Trust, a co-op subsidiary ear acquired by CanWest Financial Corporation of Winnipeg. recently purchased most of the co-op’s loan assets and agreed to liquidate its real estate investments on behalf of mem bers. Receiver Martin Linsley said Tues day the deal will net unsecured depositors 50 cents cash and 3'2 cents in Discovery Trust stock for every dollar on deposit Another half cent will be held for the time being as a receiver's holdback to cover contingencies, hé said. In addition, proceeds from liquida tion of real estate assets will net an estimated 20 cents over the next five years for a total estimated return of 74 cents on the dollar, he said But McGauley said today an inquiry into the co-op would “perhaps make us (members) feel better.” “Surely we're entitled to an explan- ation,” she said. McGauley added that an inquiry could also help educate the public on financial matters such as uninsured deposits. “We would not knowingly have taken the risk with them (uninsured deposits) had we known.” The provincial government has promised new legislation regarding co-ops in light of the TIHC bankruptcy and McGauley said she told Veitch, “Here's a tailor-made research project for the reforms you have promised.” Veitch said he is sympathetic but refused to say whether he will recommend an inquiry “It would be a little premature for me to answer that question, other than to say that we will give it complete and absolute consideration,” he said.

CorttewsPhote by Semon Birch SUNFEST JUST TWO DAYS AWAY By SIMON BIRCH Staff Writer SunFest ‘86 is just two days away and organizers of this year’s celebration of summer have included a new event that promises to add a “barrel” of fun to the traditional line-up of entertaining events. Competing teams from the Castlegar Kiwanis, Rotary and Lions Clubs will race barrels down the Columbia River from the Robson boat launch to the CPR trestle.

Cairns said government grants and aid are targets for white collar criminals. And he blamed the economic down turn for the increase in narcotics crimes. “We are attracting a lot of activity in that area,” he said. “It’s a problem.” He said the area's remoteness and climate means offenders can grow a “very good quality of product. ‘is Cairns said the problem “causes us 8 lot of concern . . . it’s an attack on the community.” He added that it is a “social problem” that stems from adults who do not set very good role models for youth —-INSIDE TOP TEAM: Kalesnikoff Lumber of Castlegar captured the 1986 Intermediate Bantom Girls Provincial softball championship over the weekend in Mission The girls went through the seven-game tournament un deteated 81 A2 CasNews WINNING ROACH?
