“a4 Saturday, November 7, 1992 @ @ Saturday, November 7, 1992 Ds Neil Rachynski NEWS REPORTER Jack Weisgerber is doing a song and dance routine, ac- cording to Rossland-Trail MLA Ed Conroy. Responding to the Social Credit leader’s request for an MLA Recall Act, Conroy said Weisgerber is looking for me- dia coverage. Speaking to the The News from Victoria, Conroy said, “what you get down here is the same song with a differ- ent singer. “They’re going for TV cov- erage.” Conroy said MLA’s can ob- tain video tape clips made of themselves during sessions in the legislature. He said MLA’s, like Weis- gerber, can then take a copy of the tape and “bring it back to your local cable station and say ‘look, here’s what I’ve done.’ “He’s got coverage from you guys and from CBC,” Conroy said. Conroy said Weisgerber’s efforts to introduce recall leg- islation is not even an issue at all. “It’s just a political state- ment,” Conroy said. Weisgerber’s proposal to the NDP would allow voters the right to force a vote to re- call their MLA. “Well, personally I’m op- posed to it,” Conroy said. “I Conroy attacks Socred think it could create havoc by catering to special interest groups. “It almost sounds for one to make that statement it’s al- most anti-democratic. (But) there are no guidelines,” Con- roy said. “What does that mean,” Conroy asked. “Do you have to run again? If five per cent of voters sign a list do you face recall? “Why bring in something that’s not realistic.” Conroy said the New De- mocrats are already looking at bringing in the recall leg- islation anyway — it’s just a matter of how to implement it.

Castlegar and District Community Services Centre is advertising for a counselling position that it doesn’t have the money for yet, Patricia Lakes said Thursday. “It’s pretty natural that people are going to call,” but the centre’s administrator said she is not concerned. “We've had to do this occasionally before and it’s always worked out.” The advertisement calls for applications for the position pending final negotiation with the provincial government. The centre expected the $50, 000 in grant money for the position to come through on Nov. 1. So what’s the hold up? According to Lakes, she was told by the At- torney General’s office “the money hadn't been Lakes said she was given the go-ahead to start advertising the position. “When they usually say you can go ahead and advertise you know you pretty much have the money,” she said. Lakes said the reason for the government’s rush is that “they wanted it to be open at the beginning of December.” But Lakes is in as much of a hurry as the government to get the position filled. “The number of potential clients are grow- ing as the centre’s busiest time of year ap- proaches,” she said. ’ “We're doing quite the juggling act right now,” Lakes said. “People are coming and are asking for counselling. “We're sorting people and they’re being wait-listed,” Lakes said. “We'd like to get the (new employee) in as soon as possible.” Materials too little, too late for teacher the 16 students being faced with the possi- Corinne Jackson NEWS REPORTER instead of back- have to go through wards,” Aben said. the same_ turmoil includes Caesar or green salad.

This year we have again been given many reasons why Nov. 11th is such a special date in the Canadian calendar. In April, a number of veterans in their 90s re- turned to the battlefields of their youth. Sev- enty-five years before they had been members of the Canadian Corps which had captured Vimy Ridge — and helped to unite our nation in pride. Then, in August, Canadian survivors of an- other conflict returned to France to pay re- spect to those who had been killed during our costliest day of the Second World War. The Dieppe Raid 50 years ago remains controver- sial. The only unanimous conclusion reached over the last five decades is that all three of our services performed splendidly in impossible conditions. Also this year Canadians have been buoyed by the magnificent professionalism shown by our peacekeeping forces in Yugoslavia. Vimy, Dieppe, Yugoslavia... a common thread stretching over 75 years. Canadians go- ing abroad, not in search of territorial gain, but risking their lives so others might know peace. On November 11th let us be thankful for their patriotism and their sacrifice.
