Gunowners Up on Hind Legs |

* Editor, Castlegar News:

In your Feb. 15 issue of the
Castlegar News, you printed an
editorial from the Kamloops
News with the heading “Cut
The Crocodile Tears: Gun Laws
May Save Some Lives,”

This literary jewel is yet
another classic example of the
pathetic bleating of the fana-
tical anti-gun propagandist. “All

.guns are bad and gun: owners
are suffering from some kind of
perversion. Guns are designed
to. kill and automobiles are
designed for transportation.”

“My personal association
with firearms goes back several
decades, adding up to nearly
half-a-century, and I am fed up
to the neck with seeing the
hunter, target shooter and
collector lumped together with
the criminal, psycho and tuna-
tie.

After studying the matter
for a number of years, it has
been my observation that the
non-shooting public falls loosely
into three categories.

First, we have the non-
shooting sportsmen who enjoy
the great outdoors along with
the firearms enthusiast —
whether it be fishing, camping,
hiking or whatever. They do
not own or use firearms simply
because they are not interested
in this type of recreation but, at
the same time, are compatible
with their gun-toting neighbor
across the street.

Secondly, we have that
well-meaning but ill-informed
group who, through fear, brain-
wash or misrepresentation of
the facts, simply do not approve
of firearms or their use. They
are not usually too vocal in
their opinions and do not ne-
cessarily. condemn the gun-
owner,

Third and last, we have the
fanatical anti-gun crusader and
propagandist, that small and
noisy minority, thal never

misses a chance to smear the
gun-owner.

The mention of “crocodile
tears” seems to imply that
gun-owners sit in the corner
and whine when things don't go
right. The fact of the matter is,
that after being slapped with
Bill C-51, gun-owners all the
way across this great country
reared back on their hind legs,
banded together and formed
the national body known as The
National Firearms Association,
with a potential membership of
three million and a powerful
lobby in Ottawa.

Three million votes in a
block can swing a big stick and
politicians are painfully aware
of this, .

To the rest of you gun-
owners out there who might be
worried about the implications
of Bill C-51, hang in there, keep
yourselves informed and make
your wishes known. A change
for the better may be just
around the corner.

(Consumer Comment/

Food processors are still
new on the Canadian market.
To read the’ advertisements,
one would think they could do
everything.

They do quite a lot. They
chop, slice, grate, shred, mix
cake, and can even mix bread.

They aren't as good as a
blender for liquids though, and
they can’t whip cream or beat
egg whites, so they will not
replace your blender or entirely
replace your mixer. They will
replace your choppers, slicers,
graters and shredders.

Along with the food pro-
cessor’s versatility and speed
come some disadvantages.
Their cost is high,.and the
bowls with some models cannot
be put in the dishwasher.

The blades keep on turning
for several revolutions after
you shut off the motor, and you
must be careful not to take the
cover off or put your fingers
anywhere near the blades until
they have completely stopped
rotaling. The machine should
be unplugged when you've
finished using it, and the blades
stored out of the reach of
children.

There are differences be-
tween makes and ‘substantial
differences in prices, though
none of them are cheap.

When deciding which make
of anything to buy, it’s always a
good idea to ask for opinions
from someone who owns one,
but in the case of a new
product, this is not always
possible. :

A number of magazines
lest and rate new products, and
their comments can be very
helpful. Two of the best known
magazines which do testing are
Canadian’Consumer and Con-
sumer Reports, They're usually
available in libraries, or from
consumer help agencies,

Bids for Airport Contract
‘Examined in Ottawa Today —

The federal treasury i

board is expected to decide
today which one of six
bidders will be awarded the
Castlegar Airport manage-
- ment contract, a federal
transport ministry official
said this week.

Contacted in Vancouver
Tuesday, Chern Heed, Paci-
fic region manager of the
ministry's airports branch,
told the Castlegar News the
three-year agement con-
tract — for which bids
ranging from $803,100 to
$1,308,712 were submitted
last. month — is-on the
agenda for’ the treasury
board's regular weekly
meeting in Ottawa.

Although the ministry
warned when it went to
tender that the lowest bid on
the contract would not ne-
cessarily be accepted, Heed
noted that the lower bidder,
Adga Systems of Ottawa,
had indicated that if it got
the contract it would offer
present airport employees
continued employment after °
its planned April 1 takeover
-of the operation. ‘*

- In the event that there
is an unexpected interval
between the city's scheduled
March 31 withdrawal from
the airport function and the
actual takeover by the con-
tractor, the ministry has
developed a contingency

plan to ensure airport ser-
vice is uninterrupted and
remains at the same level,
the ministry official said.

Listed as bidders were

Blueberry Creek's water district trustees have told B.C.'s water rights

taken into consideration and on the contrary appear to be precluded” by the

proposed restriction of the su;

pply's use to the area inside Castlegar’s

Board chairman Bill Cook told the Castlegar News Tuesday the trustees are scheduled to discuss
their objections to the terms of the application in a meeting one week from today with Area J director
Martin Vanderpol, the community's Regional District of Central Kootenay representative,

» Cook said the board was
“really not interested in delay-
ing the Castlegar water supply”
but wanted to protect the dis-
trict’s interests in the new
source, viewed as an eventual
replacement for its vulnerable
Blueberry Creek watershed.

In discussions between,
representatives of the city and
of the various rural water dis-
tricts in outlying areas more
than a year ago, the Blueberry
Creek district board declined to
participate in d bulk system
with Castlegar because accord-
ing to estimates in a feasibility
study by the engineering firm
Kerr, Wood, Leidal it would
increase rate costs from 22
cents per 1,000 gallons: to 82
cents, he said.

Unfair to Lowest Paid,

Although the Robson and
Ootischenia ‘water districts
were not interested in par-
ticipating in the joint water
supply, he said, the Blueberry
District board asked Vanderpol
tokeep the district informed on
the availablity of better sys-
tems of funding it. The board
received no further news on
funding until the announcement
last month that the federal and
Provincial governments had
agreed to provide Castlegar
with $4.5 mfillion’ in aid for
construction of the city's plan-
ned Arrow Lakes system, Cook
said.

Cook, who has been board
chairman for the past seven
years, said the Blueberry Creek
district was the first local body

to eye the Arrow Lakes as a
potential bulk supplier to. the

entire Castlegar ares.

He said the irrigation dis-
trict seriously considered the
Arrow Lakes as a water supply
as long as 10 years ago and
sought support from both Cas-
tlegar and Kinnaird municipal
councils before they were amal-
gamated,

* “Other areas (besides Blue-
berry) may also. have been’:
considered, but our idea was
that it was logical to run the
water from Castlegar to Kin-
naird and to Blueberry,” he ©
said. -
