Sorry for any inconvenience! province and really haven't worked, Rossland-Trail MLA Chris D'Arey said in reaction to Tuesday's throne speech from the B.C. legislature. The Best News in Today's Paper ison Page B3 From HomeGoods Furniture Warehouse In a telephone interview today from his Victoria office, D'Arcy said it's a “good step” the government realizes that these ‘policies haven't been good for the province, espec ially for the private sector. D'Arcy said there were some positive aspects to the throne speech, but he added that the government failed to give any specific details as to how it is going to carry out its plans. For instance, there was no specific reference to assis tance for education. “Students in the school system and universities are an important part of our future economy,” D'Arcy said. He said there was some reference to funding for stu dents for travel, which he said is a redefinition of old money like the Excellence in Education fund. But D'Arey added there was no reference to new money “It was a great disap- pointment,” he said D'Arcy said he was also disappointed that the govern- ment didn't give working people and business people a real promise of better things to come rather than the “usual platitudes.” The government has prom- ised to almost double funding for forest development and introduce innovative ways to step up silviculture proj ects to provide the greatest job opportunities while up- grading British Columbia's forests.

There was some reference to assisting companies in vesting in mining exploration and development in B.C., but he said there was no mention of helping companies who have already invested capital in mining. He said if the government is hoping to attract new capital to the province it has to make capital already in vested come out on a break even basis. Piven no] Join the Future Today!

Rock Island Place Trail * Unibody and to senior citizens * ICBC Cloims More jobs promised in throne speech VICTORIA (CP) The British Columbia govern ment will cut taxes, find work for the unemployed and improve education and health services in the coming year, the Social Credit government said Tuesday in the throne speech opening a new leg islative session. The broad outline on com ing government measures, read by Lt.Gov. Robert Rogers, strived to mention almost every sector in British Columbia and paint a glowing outlook in the year of Expo 86 and a possible provincial election. “My government believes we have weathered the worst of the recent difficult econ omic times and that, by working together, we can make 1986 a pivotal year in the fortunes of our people and this great province,” said the speech written by Pre mier Bill Bennett's govern ment Previous speeches were criticized for glossing over unemployment, but Tues day's speech mentioned sev eral times that the 189,000 out-of-work British Colum bians have not been forgot ten. Although the speech said unemployment is declining and 50,000 more British Columbians found jobs than in February last year, the provincial unemployment Fertilizer rate was 12.8 per cent last month. The government said it will intensify efforts to create jobs. HIGHEST PRIORITY “My government assigns the highest priority to con tinuing to invest in our econ- omy and create employment opportunties for those still without work — rather than increasing income for those with jobs,” the speech said. The last reference was taken as an indication that civil servants are unlikely to get pay increases. The sfieech said the gov ernment will “further reduce taxes for business — small and large” and keep the personal income tax burden on families the second-low est in Canada. Another priority of the government will be to invest “the benefits of an expanded economy” in health and ed. ucation, the two services that most directly affect the people. As is the tradition, the throne speech lacked details but pointed to measures which will be introduced in the coming weeks. It said the education min- ister will form committees to review and modernize. the School Act, although such studies have already been conducted several times with few results. dumping concerns RDCK By CasNews Staff A Ministry of Environment proposal to dump more than three tons of fertilizer a day into the West Arm of Koot enay Lake has the Central Kootenay regional board con cerned. The ministry hopes to arti ficially enrich the upper West Arm, increasing the fish food supply and thereby boosting fish stocks. The fertilizer will include 557 kilograms of phosphorus and 2,714 kilograms of ni trogen each day beginning SPECIAL MEETINGS WITH WORLD VISION CANADA YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND ANY OF THE SERVICES! MARCH 16 a ve will be at each of the churches. A tilm will be shown April 1 and ending Aug. 15. “(That) is one helluva lot of nitrate,” commented Area F director Dave Pearce. Pearce, who represents the lake's north shore, said he is concerned that the fertilizer will flow through the lake too quickly and not enrich the food supply As well, he said the water flow in the West Arm aver. ages two kilometres an hour. He suggested the fertilizer would flow through the lake in just 15-20 hours. “I would suspect the fer. tilizer is long gone” before plants have a chance to utilize it, Pearce said at the weekend regional board meeting. He recommended the min. istry fertilize the north arm of the lake, which would provide more time for the fertilizer to take effect. Pearce also said the water temperature of the lake in April is too cold to be con. ducive to plant growth. Chairman George Cady pointed out that fisheries of- ficials plan to meet with re. gional directors April 12 in Castlegar. He suggested the concerns be raised at that meeting In the meantime, fisheries officials have agreed to hold off on the April 1 start-up of the fertilization program until after meeting with regional directors.
