Crosbie firmon Chamber and ministry

airport cuts

WINNIPEG (CP) — Prov
inees and municipalities
should spend their own
money if municipal airports
can’t operate on funds from
the federal government says
federal Transport Minister
John Crosbie.

Crosbie, here to meet with
provincial Transportation
Minister John Plohman,
stood firm on his depart
ment’'s decision to cut airport
budgets next year.

He refused to compare the
issue with the millions of
dollars recently committed to
municipal airports in Prime
Minister Brian Mulroney's
home riding of Manicouagan,
adding that is separate from
the cuts to the operating
budgets.

Last month, Mulroney de
fended the promise to spend
the money on upgrading the
airports in his Quebee riding,
saying they were necessary
for safety reasons as well as

to rescue those in remote
communities needing emer
gency medical treatment

Plohman said Crosbic
shouldn't try to slough off
federal responsibilities for
airports on to the provinces

“Our position is clear,
Plohman said. “We feel th
air transportation is a federal
jurisdiction.

“They have been respon
sible historically for it and we
don't want to have any part
of their offloading of their
responsibilities on to the
provinces.”

discuss sign pro

By CasNews Staff

Castlegar Chamber of
Commerce directors met this
week with highways depart
ment officials from Nelson
and Rossland to discuss the
lack of highway signs in the
Castlegar area.

“We had a good meeting
and came away believing that
work will be done to help
improve in the
Castlegar area,” tourism di:
rector Marilyn Strong says in
a prepared news release.

We can't please everyone
but we wanted the highways
department to recognize that
Castlegar has legitimate com
plaints regarding directional
and destination signs and to
act upon those complaints.

“We believe that action is
being taken and look forward
to seeing the changes made
in the next few weeks and
months.”

Among the problems dis
cussed were improved signs
for the Castlegar-Robson
ferry indicating that the red
and green lights are for ferry
traffic only

“Many of our visitors
travelling along Columbia
Avenue come to a fast stop
when they see the two red
lights,” Strong said. “They

need to know that those two
red lights are for ferry
loading only.”

Other areas where the
chamber feels there are
problems include the inter.
section of Pass Creek Road
and Broadwater Road,
Castlegar Golf Course and
the West Kootenay National
Exhibition Centre and Douk
hobor Museum.

“We need a sign near the
airport intersection that tells
people there is a tourist
attraction ahead,” said
Strong, referring to the NEC
and Doukhobor Museum.

As for the Pass Creek
Road sign, Strong said,

“Highways has agreed to
place a sign on Broadwater
Road near the Brilliant school
that indicates the intersec-
tion of the two roads.”

She added that the high
ways department agrees the
intersection needs improve-
ment and that “a proper
intersection should be done
in the spring.”

Strong said destination
signs in the Creston and
Grand Forks areas that omit
Castlegar are being changed.

The highways department
says each new sign will
include Castlegar as a desti.
nation point.

AT MINISTERIAL .
U.S. evangelist

special guest

The Castlegar Ministerial
Association met after a two
month break at the Pente-
costal Tabernacle for a regu
lar business meeting Sept. 9.

Evangelist Jim McEachran
of Ronan, Mont., who was
ministering during the week
at the Pentecostal Taber-
nacle, shared with the mini-

sters.

McEachran read from Acts
16:9 and 10 regarding the
Macedonian call.

People are in need of help,
McEachran Even
though their physical needs
are being met, they are in
need of help.

The need of the Gospel is
the most important need of
all, McEachran said. There-
fore, we cannot neglect one
for the other.

He said both social and
spiritual needs are neces-
sary. Usually the physical
needs overshadow the needs
of the spiritual.

“We have a great task as
ministers, as a church, to
prociaim the Gospel,” Me
Eachran said.

It was opened to dis-
cussion.

Pastor Ken Smith opened
the meeting in prayer.

The guest speaker for this

month was to have been
Marge McBain who was to
speak on hospice care, but
was not able to make it.

She will speak at next
month's ministerial meeting.

Reading of the minutes
was followed by discussion of
old and new business.

Many items were covered
such as the radio, newspaper
and Lodge sche-
dules and girls explorers,
Grades 4 to 6 and 7 to 12,
which are starting soon.

As well, the ministers dis-
cussed SunFest, in which
they were involved this year.

A successful half-hour slot
entitled SunFest Songest ‘86
was given at Pass Creek
Park.

Coming up is a six-part film
series, Turn Your Heart To-
ward Home, which will be
shown at the Baptist Church.

Also at the meeting, the
Hospital Liason Committee
gave its report, followed by
discussion.

Before the meeting ad-
journed, the ministers gave a
motion of thanks to Rev. Vie
tor Stobbe, pastor of the
Apostolic Church, who is
moving to Chilliwack at the
end of the month.

Cinderella. Most of us
would have no trouble re-
telling the story of the
wicked step mother, the fairy
godmother, the pumpkin-
coach, and the glass slipper.

Older people like me knew
the story long before Dis-
ney’s wonderful animation. I
still remember, as a child
suspense building during a
radio version as each of the
three sisters tried to fit the
slipper, and then at the last
moment, Cinderella appeared
and, well, you know how the
story ends.

For some reason the story
is fixed firmly in our minds.
Psychologists tell us that we
remember the Cinderella
story because we identify
with it.

We identify with Cinde
rella. We feel hard done-by.
Most children find their
parents unreasonable, if not
as cruel as that terrible step-
mother. Most children think
their brothers and sisters are
spoiled and pampered,-com-
pared with their own hard lot
in life

Cinderella represents how
unfair we perceive life to be.
But don't fret. The day will
come (for children when they
grow up and leave home, if
not sooner) when a fairygod.
mother will put things right,
and a handsome prince (or
beautiful princess) will come
to take care of us for the rest
of our lives.

Cinderella appeals to the
child in us that sees life as so
hard and day-dreams about
some happy-ever-after.

It's a wonderful story —
for children.

Trouble is, lots of adults
still identify with Cinderella,
long after they ought to have
outgrown her.

You and I have met adults
who believe they suffer from
far more than their fair share
of hardships, while jealously

people, through no fault of
their own. But I'm talking
about people who feel overly
sorry for themselves, and
blame others, far beyond all
reason. And they keep
dreaming of a fairy god
mother who will one day
wave a magic wand and make

ing better.

People like this often ap-
proach religion as if God
were the fairy godmother.
They look to God to magically
give them a personal heaven
on earth. They popularize a
misconception of the Al
mighty.

As1 see it, God is not in the
business of performing magic
tricks for His favorites. God
is not a fairy godmother

Yes, God cares about
people and our problems, but
wants us to recognize our
own fair share of respon
sibility for these problems, to
realize we are sinners too.

Besides, self-centered pre-
occupation with our own
problems and our own hap-
piness is contrary to the
teachings of religion. God
wants us to think at least as
much about others as about
ourselves. That can help us
get over our problems by
overlooking them and find
our happiness in someone
else's happiness.

As I see it, God helps us,
but not by waving any magic
wand. Rather, God gives us
insight and strength to do
our own part in improving
our situation, and He gives us
friends to love and support us
as we do so.

Yes, God sometimes goes
to work on the circumstances
too. There are “miracles”,
occasionally, mysteriously.
But we shouldn't sit down
among the cinders and wait
for a miracle, period. God
wants us to recognize our
own problems, and our own
potentials, and map out our
own programs for making
things better.

That, as I see it, is the way
life is for mature adults.
Cinderella is for children.

Centre monitors victims

MOSCOW (AP) — A medical centre is under
construction in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev to
monitor victims of the Chernobyl lear disaster, a
Soviet newspaper reports. "

The labor newspaper Trud in its Thursday edition
also said a 600-bed clinic is being built to serve as the
“laboratory branch” of the centre.

Students protest

VICTORIA (CP) — A group of Vancouver high
school students has set up camp on the grounds of the
legislature in Victoria to protest cutbacks in education
funding.

One of the protestors, student Donovan Kuehn,
said a lot of the textbooks he's using are more than 20
years old because there is no money to buy new ones.
He said some of his classes have 30 to 35 students in
them, which he said makes it difficult to learn.

Kuehn said the group would like to stay at the
legislature until this afternoon but they've already
been warned by security that police will remove them.

Teacher suspended

TERRACE (CP) — A local high school teacher
who was caught with a marijuana cigarette on a
downtown Victoria street Aug. 6 has been suspended
without pay for three days by the Terrace school
board.

Dan Brochu, 28, who teaches English at Kitwanga
junior secondary school, was on a year's leave of
absence when the incident occurred.

School superintendent Frank Hamilton said
Brochu will return to class Monday, but declined
further comment.

Brochu and another man were each fined $200 last
month after pleading guilty in provincial court to
possession of marijuana.

Secretary-treasurer fired

TERRACE (CP) — The Terrace school board has
fired its secretary-treasurer after discovering it has a
$638,000 surplus — six times what its 1985-86 budget
had predicted.

Verne Rozee had been assistant secretary
treasurer for seven years before taking over the top
job two years ago.

The Terrace teachers’ association is demanding to
know why the school board maintained it could not_
meet their salary proposals on the grounds it didn’t
have enough money.

Board officials have declined to comment until an
auditor's report is completed.

The board will meet next week to decide what to
do with the money. School taxes in Terrace were
increased 15 per cent this year

Premier makes plans

VICTORIA (CP) — Premier Bill Vander Zalm and
his wife Lillian now are making plans for an upcoming
stay in an Indian village

But Vander Zalm said the destination and the
name of the band will not be made public before the
visit. He said it likely will be 2 weekend within the
next two or three weeks.

The premier said he has received “stacks” of
invitations, ineluding one from the Mount Currie and
Lytton bands which have suggested he receive a
first hand education on aboriginal rights by camping
overnight with native elders in the Stein River Valley

Abortion clinic

VANCOUVER (CP) — The city could have an
abortion clinic within one year, a spokesman for a
pro-choice group says

But opponents of the clinic says it will never be
built because it's illegal and violates Canada’s Criminal
Code

Norah Hutchinson, a spokesman for the Con
cerned Citizens for Choice on Abortion, said although
her group won't be responsible for the actual
construction of the etiniec, “we'll be organizing the
political support for it.”

KELOWNA, B.C. (CP) — The union representing
1,000 civie employees off the job in a labor dispute in
13 Okanagan communities says it has decided to make

Canadian Union of Public Employees, said it's hoped
the new package will end the strike which began June

SPLIT
EXPECTED

VANCOUVER (CP) — On
the eve of their first national
convention, Canadian mem-
bers of the International
Woodworkers of America are
preparing for a vote to bring
about the dissolution of their
70,000-member international
and break a brotherhood that
dates k to 1937.

“We have a statement by
the regional board which is
going to the convention next
week which will start us on
the road to beginning a Can
adian union very quickly,
dissolving the international
union,” Jack Munro, presi-
dent of Regional Council No.
1 of the IWA and director of
the newly merged Canadian
Region said.

He said little opposition is
expected and the executive's
statement is almost certain
to be approved at the Can
adian convention in Nanaimo,
which runs Monday to Thurs.
day.

After approval, the reg-
ional executive board will
draft a resolution to the

vention in Portland and dis.

ment that will bring about

sues anesthetist

VANCOUVER (CP) — A
Williams Lake woman who
was blinded when her oxygen
supply failed during delivery
of her child by caesarean
section is suing her anesthet
ist for damages totalling $}
million.

Vancouver lawyer John
Laxton has told the B.C.
Supreme Court his client,
Norma Waterhouse, 35, suf.
fered a cardiac arrest causing
blindness during surgery at
the Cariboe Memorial Hos-
pital in Williams Lake.

He told Justice Hugh Legg
that the anesthetist, Dr. Glen
Fedor, has admitted liability
for the woman's injuries,
caused by a lack of oxygen to
the brain during the surgery
in July 1983.

Outside the courtroom,

Laxton said Fedor’s lawyers
admitted his liability shortly
before the trial was to begin.

Laxton said the liability of
the anesthetist was admitted
on condition that Fedor's co-
defendants, surgeon Dr. Noel
Donnelly and the hospital,
were dropped from the suit.

At the hearing Friday, now
concerned solely with the
question of damages, Water
house took the witness stand
to describe how the injuries
have affected her daily life.

Married to a forestry
worker, the woman told the
judge she and her husband

which she received her in

Soviets say FBI
framed physicist

MOSCQW (AP) — The espionage arrest of a Soviet in
New York is)a frameup, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said
Saturday, using almost the same words Nicholas Daniloff did
to describe his arrest in Moscow on similar charges.

Spokesman Gennady Gerasimov also accused Daniloff,
an American reporter, of working for the CIA station chief
in Moscow.

Daniloff said he would not dignify Gerasimov's charges
with an answer.

Daniloff, 51, was released from prison on Friday in
exchange for Gennadiy Zakharov's release from a New York
jail the same day.

The correspondent for U.S. News and World Report
said the espionage charges against him are fashioned to
mirror those against Zakharov

“I believe my arrest was carefully engineered to give
the Soviet side some bargaining leverage in the case of
Gennadiy Zakharov,” Daniloff said in a statement Saturday

Daniloff said his case and Zakharov's are
equivalent.”

Gerasimov accused the FBI or framing Zakharov, a
Soviet United Nations employee and a physicist, by giving
him a package of classified documents.

DOCUMENTS TAKEN

He said Zakharov unwittingly took the
documents from an acquaintance.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation said the Soviet
bought military secrets from a U.S. agent on a subway
platform in New York and was arrested Aug. 23.

Gerasimov'’s account echoed what Daniloff has said
happened to him in a Moscow park on Aug. 30.

Daniloff said he was called to meet a Soviet acquaint
ance who gave him what was supposed to be a packet of
press clippings. It turned out to contain military
graphs and maps marked secret

Gerasimov denied any connection between Daniloffs
case and that of Zakharov

“He got back in excess of 300 pairs of panties.” said

“There was no evidence they were stolen so the

Asked whether he thought the request was peculiar

Espionage charges are still pending against both men,
who will have to stand trial unless a political settlement is
reached.

Gerasimov gave a more detailed account on Saturday of
the Soviet case against Daniloff, and the official Tass news
agency said the American reporter admitted taking part in
an espionage operation.

Daniloff, in the custody of the U.S. embassy since his
release from prison, said he does not want to comment on his
case while still under KGB investigation for a three-count
espionage indictment.

“As for Gerasimov, I would not want to dignify the
charges which he outlined by commenting on them,” Daniloff
said by telephone.

DIPLOMAT IMPLICATED

Gerasimov contended that Daniloff took instructions
from U.S. diplomat Murat Natirboff, counsellor for regional
affairs until his transfer two weeks ago.

“In the course of the inquiry into Daniloff it was shown
that he collected information of a military nature and
participated at the instruction of the CIA in spy activities,”
Gerasimov said

Tass said Daniloff has admitted to participating “in an
act of espionage by making contact with a Soviet agency for
the CIA.” It did not elaborate

Gerasimov said investigators have new evidence of
Daniloff's complicity in espionage based on testimony from
Soviets he declined to identify other than as Citizen L and
Citizen K

The witnesses said Daniloff was trying to collect
information on Soviet atomic energy, arms and military
deployments and hazardous waste disposal, Gerasimov said.

In a statement read by his wife Ruth at a news
conference Saturday, Daniloff denied again that he has any
connection with the Central Intelligence Agency or any
other intelligence agency
