3 a2 Castlegar News september 2, 1907 MP wants extension on 10-year statute But Brisco said a “balance” must be struck. By CasNews Staff “The Hon Member's bill proposes not that the 10-year limitation period be extended, but rather that it be abolished completely:.. . . Although the abolishing of the 10-year limitation period would be very much to the ge of p 1 it may signi ly and unfairly extend the absolute liability of the nuclear plant operator and leave him in an open-ended situation against which he may not be able to indemnify himsglf.” Brisco instead suggested that a “fair, balanced and \ effective” proposal would be to extend the limitation period from 10 to 30 years. “This would well serve the interests of both the potential claimant and the nuclear plant operators and would make our Canadian nuclear liability legislation consistent with the developing international norm.” Brisco added that the amendment should be made as part of an overall review of the nuclear Liability Act currently being completed by a federal interdepartmental working group. Brisco also said he is concerned about the $75 million liability ceiling. “One has to be concerned about the limit of $75 million when one considers the possible impact upon. the United States. We saw the impact of a combination of bad judgment and ignorance which resulted in that terrible incident as é = Chernobyl. It displays the possibility that such an accident’ AVID READERS...

Library Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco says the present 10-year statute of limitation on court action stemming from a nuclear mishap should be extended. However, Brisco told the House recently that NDP MPJim Fulton's proposal to completely eliminate the limita- tion period isn't fair. Instead, Brisco suggests placing a 80-year limit on any legal action. Fulton, MP for the Skeena riding, proposed a private member's bill to amend the Nuclear Liability Act. Under the Act, no legal action may be brought after 10 years from the date of the nuclear mishap. “The 10-year statue of limitation on actions from the date of the cause of the action, precludes the overwhelming majority of workers who would be exposed to a long period of low body loadings of radiation, or those who may be exposed to higher doses at some point from taking any action?” Fulton argued. “As we have learned from a variety of studies I will be referring to, most cancers related to the nuclear industry appear more than 10 years after the date of exposure.” Fulton also argued that the Act's $75 million liability limit should be increased. He called the limit “completely insufficient to deal with even a very small amount of liti gation.” . Fulton said the U.S. Congress voted nearly un animously to raise the liability in relation to U.S: nuclear reactors from $705 millin US to $7 billion us.

ALL TYPES OF COMMERCIAL PRINTING Castlégar News 197 Columbia Ave. —-365-7266 SOCIETY FORMED Nelson resident Fred Nachbaug to remain in Canada. Nachbaur faced deportation to West Germany after running afoul of immigration regulations. “Every day is different. There are many people who need our help. We provide services to make new comers FOR REFUGEES An influx of Vietnamese refugees who fled their homeland seven years ago was the major reason for forming the Trail Multicultural and Immigrant Society. Some of those refugees ended up in Castlegar, Trail and nearby communities, but there was not any kind of an agency in the area that could cater to their needs and help them adjust to life in a new country. Seven years later the multicultural and immigrant society is still helping immigrants throughout the West Kootenay through a wide range of services. ‘The society is run by a handful of volunteers with only one paid staff person, Renice Townsend, who is part- time co-ordinator. “We're a charitable society for all immigrants. One of our purposes is to promote cultural heritage and differences within all ethnic groups,” Townsend said. ~ UNITED WAY FEATURE Other aims of the society are to initiate cultural exchanges between ethnic groups and the community, to provide re-settlement and integration services to immi grants and other people of foreign backgrounds who are in need of such services, to encourage racial harmony and to promote loyalty to Canada. “The society was established seven years ago. There was a tremendous need for it when the Vietnamese boat people came to Trail. That's when it became known that the society was needed,” said Townsend. She added that while the society is based in Trail, it helps immigrants in need throughout the West Kootenay feel d in the said T d. Some of the areas with which the society helps immigrants include income tax returns, counselling, legal advice, employ an i ially English as a second language programs. Townsend sgid that the Trail Multicultural and Immigrant Society is the only one of-its kind in the West Kootenay, but that doesn't limit it to helping only new immigrants to Trail. “If we hear of anyone in need of help, such as in New Denver, we'll help them.” ‘Townsend has also spoken with the superintendant of schools in Trail, offering teachers and students infor- mation on people of different backgrounds and culture. Next February the society hopes to go into schools during Multicultural Week to educate students on the problems of prejudice and racism. “There are a variety of problems we Canadians are not aware of. I'm trying to make a list of the needs of the ethnic community. There are lots of things the students in the high schools here don’t know. Many foreign teenagers have often left a war-torn country and they come here to Canada and they don’t know how to deal with it because the only thing they have? known is war. They have a lot of emotional problems,” said Townsend. ’ She added that the Trail Multicultural and Immi- grant Society receives “a lot of support” from the United Way, but still needs more volunteers. The society is funded by the Trail, Rossland and Castlegar United Ways as well as grants from the federal Secretary of State. The money from the federal government is used to fund special projects. ‘Art Turnball, chairman of the Trail Multicultural and Immigrant Society said this year the organization is working with a budget of about $12,000, but more money is needed. “Our biggest problem in terms of funding is to get a regular steady person on employment. Sometimes we have difficulty in keeping a part-time person. That's our Castlegar News TREET TALK WHILE MANY parts of B.C. might be able to view a third Vancouver television station, Kootenay viewers will have to be content with the CBC and BCTV. Vancouver's only independant TV station, CKVU, has applied to the Canadian Radio-television Tele communications Commission for permission to broadcast into a large area of B.C. after signing a deal with the Interior Cable Operators Association. But Lynn Greentree, manager of Shaw Cable- vision in Castlegar, said it was the first he's heard of the plan and doubts very much if VU-13 will be broadcasting into the Kootenays. “I knew that they (CKVU) were looking to get into the Interior, especially the Okanagan and the central Interior. The central Interior and the Okanagan receive TV stations from Seattle, from a signal in Vancouver. What they may be planning to do is use that microwave signal to beam into the central Interior and the Okanagan but I don't think they'd be coming into the Kootenays,” said Greentree. The television station itself apparently doesn't even know if it will be broadcasting to the Kootenays. When reached by telephone a spokesman said he had no idea if the Kootenays would be an area CKVU would serve. Meanwhile a press release issued by the station says that “CKVU-13 will soon bring its unique style of telecast to all of British Columbia.” ALL YOU Doctor Who fans out there will want to take in the Doctor Who Celebration and Tour this weekend in Spokane.

Doctor Who is a 24-year-old television program produced bythe BBC and seen locally on Spokane’s PBS channel 7 (cable 11). THE CITY of Castlegar plans to adopt the former Village of Kinnaird’s coat of arfns as its own. Council recently gave the go-ahead for city staff to proceed with the legalities of adopting the Kinnaird coat of arms, which contains the motto “These Lights Never Wander.” Kinnaird and Castlegar amalgamated in 1974. “It has been suggested that adopting the Village of Kinnaird Coat of Arms as the City of Castlegar coat of arms would ensure that a vital part of this community's history is not lost and that the valuable contribution of the Village of Kinnaird, later known as the Town of Kinnaird, is recognized and preserved,” city administra- tive ssalatant Lea Dreher noted in a memorandum to council. Dreher suggested the coat of arms could be used as a city flag and on a “presentation pin” reserved for special occasions. LOUISE ZAITSOFF, office supervisor at Kootenay Savings Credit Union's Castlegar branch, has been pro- moted. Zaitsoff will take over as KSCU's branch manager in Salmo. She has been at KSCU's Castlegar branch for seven years. THE NATIONAL Exhibition. Centre bas added severil néw museum kits to its sdécessful schoo program.

Man nabbed in Salmo VANCOUVER (CP) Three children will be re- turned to their mother’s home in Utah this week after their father was arrested during the weekend in Salmo under the Immigration Act. James Warburton, 43, of Creek By CasNews Staff The Castlegar and District Wildlife Association has helped a steering committee draw up plans to regulate the use of the upper St. Annes Creek, upper Knappen Creek and upper Lynch Creek in the Christina Lake area. The terms of reference for the steering committee in- clude a commitment for mult- iple use of the creeks. The plan provides for effective management of the timber, range. recreation, fish and wildlife resources. The main thrust of the steering committee has been to set up management guide- lines for a previously un- roaded area. A fire-in the area in 1985 escalated road construction but also re- sulted. in a need to salvage, St. George, Utah, had been sought by police after failing to return the children two weeks ago. Warburton was arrested Sunday in a motel in Salmo where he had been working as a musician, RCMP Cpl. Joe Aerssens said. “He was on a visitor's permit but he had been working here for three or four days,” Aerssens said, noting Warburton did not use an assumed name. use regulated the timber affected by the fire. Roads can have a negative impact upon wilderness, in particular fragile alpine en- vironments as well upon wildlife. In a press release, Karen Pullman, planning and public relations director for the Boundary Forest District, says the area's wilderness resources need to be pro- tected, and because of that, vehicular and all-terrain veh- icle traffic in the area will be restricted. The steering committee is inviting interested parties to write it with any concerns about the creeks. Aura, 13, Joshua, 11, and Benjamin, 9, will be re- turning to the United States early this week to be re- united with their mother, Aerssens said. Officer Wendy Weston, of the St. George police de- partment, said Warburton had a restricted joint-custody agreement with his former wife. She said Warburton was only entitled to have the children for three months and he was supposed to return them Aug. 19 — the day before school began. An immigration depart- ment official said Warburton faces possible deportation and will appear this week before an immigration in- quiry in Vancouver. OLD DUTCH POTATO CHIPS 200 G.
