AA Castlégar News January 14, 1990 OPINION . Council gets second chance Turbo Resources Ltd.'s decision not to proceed with its plans to build a bulk-fuel and retail gas station next to the Sandman Inn on Columbia Avenve is good news for the lents of the area who op- posed the development. ‘And though it means, for the time being at that particular site. no business which generates toxe' for the city and jobs for local residents, Turbo's decision may also be a blessing in disguise for city council which, should reconsider whether such o facility is ap- propriate for that location. We understand council's reasons for rezoning the property to cor jal from residential an ding the city’s bylaws to allow @ bulk-fuel station in that area. A bulk-fuel facility on Columbia Avenue would siphon off truck traffic from bulk-fuel stations in the industrial area along 6th Avenue and would give the city @ lever with which to pry from the provincial Highways Ministry long-sought im- provements to the Highway 3-Highway 22 interchange. We also understand that council can't and shouldn't buckle un- der every time it is taced with opposition toa proposed development ‘and that it must make tough decisions sometimes for the overall im- provement of the city. But we said prior to the public hearing.on Turbo's proposal that we had mixed feelings about allowing on industrial development such as a bulk-fuel station next to the Sandman. We agree that commercial development restaurant and hotel projects and the | makes sense. However, after listening to the arguments of residents who live in the immediate area of the interchange, as well as the Castlegar Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Business Association, we also agree that it doesn't make sense to encourage industrial-type developments like bulk-fuel stations within the city at a time when other municipalities are sensibly requiring such developments to be built on the outskicts of their communities. The problem with Castlegar is the city’s almost random mix of wesidential and commerical areas.

Letters to the editor arming feared So Celgar is doubli from a few residents whose homes are nearby. Compounding the difficulty in the case of bulk-fuel stations is the desire of their owners to put them on main truck routes such as ighway 3 or Highway 22. _ since that's the case, why not put such developments on Highway 3 west of town on the way to Grand Forks? At any rate, the residents in the area of the interchange have been given a-reprieve and council has another opportunity to con- sider whether it wants industrial development in that area. We think council should rescind the bylaw amendments it enac- ted for Turbo Resources in the face of vehement opposition from local residents and businesses. the producti changed.

They’re ‘Majority still opposes GST MONTREAL (CP) — The Canadian Federation of Independent Business, at war against the proposed goods and services tax, released the results of a poll last week that suggests two-thirds of Canadians oppose the tax, even though it has been reduced to seven per cent from nine per cent. “Finance Minister Michael Wilson thought he'd buy peace by reducing it two per cent,’ said vice-president Michel Decary at a néws con! ference. The Angus Reid poll, the first since Wilson announced in December the rate would be reduced, suggests 68 per cent of Canadians are opposed to the seven per cent tax. That’s down from 87 per cent who said: they opposed a nine per cent tax in an Angus Reid poll in November The latest poll says 23 per cent are in favor of the tax, while in November only seven per cent were In favor of a nine per Cent tax. The majority of 1,501 adults across Canada surveyed by telephone also said they believe the next federal government will raise the tax rate. Even though large corporations and many economists favor the tax, the federation’s 85,000 members, owners of small businesses, are against it because of the extra paperwork. The federation estimates it would cost a small garage owner $1.75 te collect the new tax on a $50 tire. Fora big company, with computer-equip- ped clerical staff, the extra cost would be 25 cents. The federation is calling on the government to drop the GST, which is to come into effect in 1991, or to per- suade provincial governments to agree toa single combined sales tax. ‘Above all, the graup wants the federal government to slash expenses — beginning with grants to the business sector. Mexican trip carbon cycle and involves volume production sold across planetary-scale transportation networks run by fossil fuel which also impairs the carbon cycle. Itis hard to see how it could have anything less than twice the impact of the old mill on the biosphere from a global warming standpoint. A lot of pulp goes to products that are headed rapidly back into the atmosphere. The inhabitants of this planet are taking 400 million years of carbon ac- cumulations and blasting them in the atmosphere in a burst over a few hun- dred years with by far the biggest blast slated for the next 50-years. Anything that can be done to minimize the rate of carbon accumulation in the at- mosphere is worth doing. The most rigorous analysis to go into what is per- ceived as the gravest threat. The plan clearly is to act as if no one was going to really respond to the evidence for global warming for at least quite a while. Why not bag B.C.’s trees in the meantime?

The railways’ hold on the passenger business started to slip almost as soon as the first hard-top roads began to smooth the way for the Model A. ‘As early as the 1930s, some people — probably dismissed at the time as gloom-and-doomers — thought they saw the beginning of the end for the ps tory of Canadian Political striping has never seemed to make much dif- ference either. Monday’s Via cuts under a Tory gover- nment are the second major downscaling for the federal passenger carrier this decade. The first round came in 1981 when the Liberals were in office in Ottawa. WHO'S TOBLAME? Has there been a single culprit through it all? For years the major railways — when they still ran their own passenger services — were widely accused of in- tentionally discouraging customers by running dirty trains at inconvénient hours, downgrading dining car service and giving priority to freights which meant slower schedules for train. The super highway and the Boeing 727 weren’t even squiggles on the engineers’ drawing boards, but a pattern was taking shape. Passenger timetables grew thinner each year as the railways, especially those now known as CN Rail and CP Rail, began to lop off unprofitable runs — or, as their critics always contended, the runs they wanted everyone to think were unprofitable. The process lias gone on almost continuously from the years leading up to the Second World War to the early days of 1990, when about half of Via’ssurviving trains are being killed. First to go were back-country secondary trains, scrub- bed with only a few whimpers, from rural MPs from the Prairies or the Maritimes or, later, southern Ontario. When the cuts started coming on the main lines — and major cities and even provincial capitals lost their t the kind of howls being raised now over the latest V' donments began to be heard. But they didn’t stem the flow. The passenger train now has vanished from hundreds of Canadian communities and, barring anything short of a catastrophic world energy crunch, it seems unlikely those towns and cities will ever see railway again. Notices of train ‘‘annulments’’ were tacked up on he; passenget service . ‘ ‘Angry accusations rang out in town council chambers across the country and in committee rooms in Ottawa, but, the railways contended their critics were flogging @ dead horse. They only had to point across the border to the United States where — despite much greater population density — most railways were getting out of the passenger businessas fast as the regulators would let them. If the mighty New York Central and Atcheson, Topeka and Santa Fe can’t make a buck on passengers, how can we, they asked. ‘All but forgotten today is one final fling by CN in the 1960s, years before Via was ereated to run Canada’s passenger trains. The publicly owned CN added new and faster ser- vices, spruced up its trains and slashed ticket. prices with abandon — as low as $13 for the 1,350-kilometre trip from Halifax to Montreal, for example. Pierre Delagrave, a CN executive who helped hatch the fare scheme known as the Red, White and Blue Plan, said-when-it-was launched that there were no guarantees that even rock-bottom ticket prices would fill the trains. Looking through a train window at anearby highway, Delagrave pointed to what he and most railway people believed to be the real culprit: the private automobile. Buses could have their share and so could the planes, id, and the passenger train could not only survive but station-walls in good economic timesand bad. The only real thrive. pause came during 1939-45 when, with trucks, buses and planes still relative bit players, war gave the railways more people and freight to haul than they had ever seen before — or since. It was the family buggy that was killing the rails. “If only we could get about three per cent of those people out of their cars,” Delagrave said. He never got his wish. _ Remember When? 40 YEARS AGO From the Jam, 12, 1950 Castle News Mr, J.R.
