The city of Nelson has shown the value it places upon education by beginning its new university centre Becoming an educated people is ex: states: The fear ofsthe Lord is the beginning of wisdom.’’ (Proverbs 9:10). Fear in this case has to do with having a healthy sense of awe and reverence for the Lord and His. Word. The Book of Proverbs may be an an- cient writing, but it is uncanny how much sense it continues to make in our time and culture What @ multitude of personal and social problems confront us! Merely increasing our knowledge will be of lit- Ue help in solving them. We are desperately in need ‘of wisdom. Our Lord, who graciously revealed His rescuing love for us in Jesus Christ, SeeKSTO share Mis guiding wisdom with us tremely important. That is freq expressed by the individual who says “I have to go to school so I can get a decent job."’ The carrot that person sees at the end of the educational stick is, of course, getting more money for some task performed However, education’has to be far more than the mere accumulation of knowledge. Being truly educated has to involve more than becoming a whiz at running a computer or repairing one of those complex automobiles. Education, in the full sense, has to include concern for the development of wisdom in the individual. And wisdom, as | understand it, includes an ability to handle knowledges Without the ‘development and in wisdom, sometimes run amiuck modern clusion of knowledge can Some years ago, | heard of a woman who had just completed her Red Cross lifesaving course. With her gained knowledge she felt extremely about herself as she drove home one newly good evening through a pouring rainstorm Seeing a man lying face down on the city street, this woman brought her car toa screeching stop Here, she happily thought, was an opportunity to use her knowledge. She ran to the man, quickly turned him over and began giving mouth-to mouth resuscitation The man finally freed himself from the determined woman's attachment to tell her: ‘Lady, 1 don’t know what you're tryin’ to do, but me, I’m tryin’ to open this here manhole cover!” So how is wisdom obtained?

Lynne Chatten, who lives next door to Johnny’s Grocery, said the water thas been running past her house since it arted welling up around a Petro- a da sign that was erected on the ‘corner of the store property in June. 4 Chatten claims the heavy sign was fput-right over a water line that comes from her property, breaking the pipe, arid she should not be responsible for ‘repairing the line. * But RRID board chairman Bruce “Austin said that if the sign has caused ‘the damage, it is up to Chatten toprove her allegation Chatten has’ an easement on the store property, and she should dig up the’sign and find the break in the line, Austin said ‘The district is only for street from Chatten, said she and her family have been getting their water through a garden hose from a neighbor since the water was turned off. The district dug up part of Chatten’s line and found the pipes old, corroded and damaged externally, Austin said. The leak is likely due to the antiquated state of the line and probably has nothing to do with the Petro-Canada Sign, he said. The line is buried about 1.5 metres below the surface, Austin said. Chatten’s pipes are difficult to find and the system is inadequate, he said. For instance, there is only one shutoff valve in. her yard and there should be one for each of her three ren- tal buildings and her house, Austin said. However, Chatten’s system is not continued on page A2 Local man to defend hydro project Robson-Raspberry Improvement District trustees have appealed a decision by the provincial Environ- ment Ministry to allow a Crescent Valley man to build a small hydroelec- tric generating plant in Pass Creek. The Environmental Appeal Board will meet next Tuesday in Castlegar to hear arguments from both sides whether or not Ron Hoodicoff's pro~ posed project will further damage water quality in Norns Creek from which the Robson-Raspberry Im- provement District draws its drinking water. “The problem is, there has been no environmental impact study done,” RRID board chairman Bruce Austin told the Castlegar News. ‘There has been no engineering study done on the dam perse.”” Austin said there are unanswered questions about how the project might add to the problem of siltation in the creek and decrease the flow of water. He said RRID trustees also wonder whether transformers Hoodicoff might use contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and whether there is a possibility of oil leaks into the creek. But Hoodicoff — who urges people not to call his project a dam because of its small size — says the hydroelectric project will not damage the creek. “I understand -their concerns,”’ Hoodicoff said, referring to the RRID trustees. ‘‘The one regret I have is that, although I tried to get in contact with (the improvement district trustees), we haven’t had| a meeting to discuss my project. Perhaps I could have ad- dressed their concerns.”” Hoodicoff, who will represent him- self at the Environmental Appeal Board hearing at the Sandman Inn Starting at 9 a.m., said an engineer from the Environment Ministry’s Water Management Branch in Victoria has inspected the site of the proposed Project. 8 As well, he said, ‘“My water licence specifies that before any construction takes place I'm to have an engineer ap- provemly plan.”* Hoodicoff's proposal involves con- struction of a ‘‘weir”” to divert water from the creek intoa pipe which would carry the water to a small powerhouse about 14 feet by 20 feet in size. He said the weir will be about six to eight feet high but because the surrounding terrain slopes upward, lit- tle water will be stored behind the weir. “It doesn’t store any water,”’ said Hoodicoff, who plans to sell the power generated by the plant to West Kootenay Power. ‘‘The water doesn’t go back at all because of the steep grade.”” Hoodicoff, who has already built a similar but smaller hydroelectric plant in Goose Creek to supply power to his home, said the Pass Creek project will not require any clearing and digging around the site, both of which could lead to incréased erosion and. add to the'sediment in the creek. Hoodicoff has at least one well- known local i on his Castlegar News published Sunday. “This is small business, locally owned, and the money stays here. There is no reservoir to speak of being created, the area involved is second-growth forest, and due to global warming there is an unprecendented urgency for the i f supplies. “*I find it hard to imagine how Rob- son-Raspberry water quality will be impaired as a result of this project.”” The Robson-Raspberry area is plagued by problems with its water supply and residents have been told to boil their drinking water. Much of the problem stems from sedimentation in Norns Creek which renders the im- Provement district's ultraviolet water treatment system virtually ineffective in killing bacteria in the Water.

Green Party and a friend of Hoodicoff’s, said he supports the project. “I find Ron’s hydro development to be something 1 can wholeheartedly support,” Lewis wrote ima letter to the Council joins protest By CasNews Staff Castlegar city council will add its namie to the growing list of opponents to Transport Canada’s possible move to close the control tower at Castlegar Airport.

However, Transport Cani spokesmen have told the Castle; News no action is being taken on the recommendation which Transport Canada made based on the number of flights into Castlegar A survey of airports shows the number of flights into Castlegar does not merit the federal government maintaining both a control tower anda flight service station at Castlegar Air- port. But local critics of the recommen- dation say Transport Canada is not taking into consideration the terrain surrounding the airport which makes landings and takeoffs difficult, as well as the role the tower plays during the forest-fire season when airborne water bombers are stationed at Castlegar Airport. Local officials also say the downgrading of service at the airport which would result from the tower's closure would hurt Selkirk College’s aviation program and emergency ser- vices such as air ambulance service.
