Victoria, B. Ce vav 1x4 Feds 28 Injunction halts spraying By BONNE MORGAN Staff Writer The Regional District of Central Kootenay succeed ed in getting an injunction today preventing CP Rail from spraying herbicide along rail tracks between Nelson and Castlegar, and Castlegar and Trail Thrums resident Mickey Kinakin said evidence regarding the toxicity of the herbicide Spike 80 will be presented at a hearing during the one-week injunction. Area residents opposing the spraying for environ- mental reasons had planned a large-scale demonstration at Taghum Thursday morning, when spraying was expected to start Kinakin earlier said he expected about 200 people were to phy block the 1g of Spike 80 on rail lines near their “homes even if it had meant being arrested “Nothing's changed,"’ s: Kinakin, adding the group is prepared to meet the spraying program on the rail lines if it resumes. “It's a very deadly chemical,’ he said. ‘‘It's a total herbicide which means it kills everything.” He said only 10 of the 40 kilometres along the line are to be sprayed ‘‘because there are so many exclusions” within the permit The general policy of the pesticide control program is to not allow the use of any pesticide and herbicide within 10 metres of any water body. CP Rail is also not permitted to spray within the boundaries of the City of Castlegar. Kinakin was part of a group which appealed the use of Spike last year. The provincial Pesticide Control Branch has given CPR approval to proceed after the company agreed to follow restrictions recommended by Stuart Craig, regional manager of the pesticide control branch Local residents opposed to the spraying met with a CP Rail official in Nelson following a planned demonstration in front of the Nelson provincial government building. About 150 people attended the rally, which Kinakin said was to ‘touch base with each other and get ourselves ready for Thursday.’ But Kinakin said CP Rail indicated it plans to go ahead with the spraying no matter what “They have evety intention of spraying.’ But Don Bower, public relations director for CP Rail in Vancouver, noted: ‘'I don't think we p have any desire or to create a confi Bower said CP Rail intends to comply with the regulations of its permit and said Stuart Craig will continued on page A4 free West Kootenay | DANCE BANDS and mobile disco.

By CasNews Staff Robson may get a liquor store The B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch is considering allowing an agency liquor store in Robson But first the LDB wants to find out what the public thinks about having a liquor store in Robson before con sidering a location for a store “We are just looking for feedback from the community,”’ said agency administrator Stephanie Watts The agency programs division store operations department is re questing comment from the com munity through advertisements and has notified the Regional District of Central Kootenay and Castlegar RCMP. Watts says the location of the agency hquor store must be within an already established store which has a full line of groceries and has been in business for a minimum of two years The liquor store would sell beer. wine and spirits “Once the location is approved then we would solicit applications from all the grocery stores in the community,’’ said Watts. However, she acknowledged that there is only one grocery store in Robson — Sales The LDB agreed to poll the Robson community after receiving an inquiry about an agency store The Liquor Distribution Branch al lows agency liquor stores in areas which are small or remote. Agency stores are “where you have a distance problem or are water-bound,"’ Watts said Johnny's Grocery and Gas permitted She said officials will also look at the population of Robson when dé termining if the store should be ap proved Court date for ferry ostponed By BRENDAN NAGLE Staff Writer The Robson-Raspberry Ferry Users Ad Hoc Committee will get its day in court with the provincial government — but not on Sept. 21. Terry Dalton, lawyer for the com- mittee, said the group had secured the September date in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver but in order for the hearing to go ahead the gov- ernment had to agree with the date. It didn't. “IT went to Vancouver and asked if we could be given a day for the hear. ing.’’ Dalton told the Castlegar News yesterday. ‘‘The court registry said yes you can have September the 21st if the government would agree." Dalton said he phoned Joe Arvay senior civil litigation lawyer with the attorney general's office, and asked him if Sept. 21 was an acceptable court date. “He said no."’ Dalton said. *‘He wouldn't make that commitment without seeing the material."" Dalton said the committee's mat erial for the hearing could have been available to Arvay within two or three weeks but Arvay still declinéd to accept the court date. “I think the case is quite important and so it wasn’t unreasonable that they would do that,”’-Dalton said. “On the other hand, I think we both could have’ been ready on September the 21st." The committee is taking the pro- vincial government to ¢ourt and challenging its closure of the Castle- gar-Robson cable ferry. The group feels the closure was a breach of the Highways Act in that the closure was not gazetted and no public Hearirigs, were held to see if the closire was_ against the pubic interest Within the challenge, Dalton is seeking judicial review to disclose the reasons for the, government decision to close the ferry “The Judicial Review Procedure Act provides that any decision made by a government may be reviewed by the courts under judicial review,” he continued on page AZ All quiet on the forest fire front By CasNews Staff A flurry of air tanker traffi- Castlegar on Sunday was to fight two small lightning strikes — one near Castlegar and another near Nakusp over The air tankers carrying chemical retardant buzzed the Castlegar area for much of early Sunday afternoon Rut Ted Evans, information officer for the Ministry of Forests in Castle gar, said the forest fire situation remains quiet “We're kind of in the downhill side of the fire season,’ Evans said today There have been 28 fires so far this summer, burning $3 hectares and costing $170,000 to battle. That compares to 67 fires which burned 453 hectares and cost $547,000 for the same period last year “Last year . was almost an average year,”” Evans added He said most of the forest fires this year have been caused by lightning, but the lightning has been accomp- anied by light rain which has helped keep the fires under control Evans added that the drought was minimized by the wet June weather. However, Evans said the southern part of the Arrow Forest District — Castlegar, Pend d’Oreille, Rossland and Trail — still has a high fire hazard rating, while the northern end around Nakusp remains moderate As well, though campfire restriction over the B.C. Day long weekend, all campfire restrictions have since been lifted in the Arrow district Evans said there are still daily air patrols and the district mans two lookouts — one near Fruitvale and another near New Denver. there was a phone lines some threatening to cancel season price was right,’ said Peter Weiskopf in a call to the Edmonton hot about trade EDMONTON (CP) — Some people are sad. and columns on the trade and on Gretzky's history TOTEM TRAVEL Let Us Plan Your Trip...

's not bad at all It's a safe bet there are few residents of the self-proclaimed City of Champions without an opinion today on The Trade More stories, A8, B! From the moment most residents awoke Tues. day, the hottest topic of discussion was the Nationaol Hockey League deal that sent Wayne Gretzky to the Los Angeles Kings They talked about it even before it was confirmed. They burned up telephone wires to get through to radio talk shows and express their opinion. They jammed the Edmonton Oilers’ 21 tickets Overall, it seems most Edmontonians weren't pleased about the deal. Gretzky, after all, is considered the greatest hockey player alive and has led the Edmonton Qilers to four Stanley Cup championships in the last five years One fan burned an effigy of Oilers’ owner Peter Pocklington. “That's what we think of Peter Puc angrily, Pocklington engineered the deal after Gretzky — who married Hollywood starlet Janet Jones in Edmonton on July 16 — asked to be traded. **Peter Pocklington would sell his mother if the he yelled Edmonton Journal “‘He ought to be tarred and feathered and run out of town."* “*My heart is broken,"’ said Kelly Brian Murray “Il understand Mr. Pocklington owns the team and he can do whatever he wants, but he has no soul to sell the unsellable. I’m sick.’’ ““Damn,"’ said Bob Bryan. ‘‘He was the classiest guy inthe history of the league and I’m in shock. It's the stupidest move Pocklington has ever made.” Edmonton's three television stations broadcast Gretzky's tearful news conference live, as did at least one radio station. Today's editions of the Journal and the Edmonton Sun are packed with stories, pictures with the Oilers. Some callers to radio stations and newspapers threatened violence against either Pocklington or Jones, on whom many pinned the blame for the deal On one radio station, Jones was likened to Yoko Ono, whose marriage to John Lennon was blamed by many rock fans for the breakup of the Beatles WHO WEARS PANTS? “It would be interesting to know whose initiative it was," said Joy McKenna. “Ask him who wears the pants in the family.""
