. Castlegar News Morch 12. 1906 On The Street. . . QUESTION: Do you think the federal government's budget is fair? Why or why not? i. Not really. Put it this way, we want jobs. Primo Cristante Not for me. Not for pensioners. They're taking from the middle class down and nothing from the big corporations. Dave Rush T'm in so low a tax bracket it doesn’t matter. Alan Cawte It's fair for the little guy. We should be paying more taxes and the government should reduce the deficit. But they haven't taxed industry and the rich enough. Gagnon No. There should be more put into education and Katimavik — that shouldn't be cancelled. It really isn’t. But what can you do when politicians draw it up and they have the say? The only thing we can do is vote them out Teachers support McGauley VANCOUVER (CP), — More than 800 retired and active teachers have thrown their support behind a com- mittee demanding the pro- vineial government guaran- tee the $65-million shortage of the Teachers’ Investment Housing Co-operative. The committee, led by re- tired teacher Alma McGauley of Castlegar, received unan- imous support on nine resol- utions at a meeting Monday. McGauley, 63, received a standing ovation after add- ressing the crowd. She and her husband, Bill, “have $70,000 frozen in the co-op. The crowd passed a resol- ution to designate spokesmen to meet Premier Bil] Bennett to describe the financial plight of elderly and ill co-op members who have had their money frozen. The firm of Coopers and Lybrand Ltd. has acted as interim receiver since the 45,000-member co-op went into receivership Nov. 4. Unsecared deposits totall- ing $268 million at the co-op were frozen when directors filed a holding proposal in B.C. Supreme Court. Under the holding proposal, mem- bers are allowed to withdraw one half of one per cent of their total deposits a month. The difference between the book value and the mar- ket value of the co-op’s assets is nearly $65 million. Assets include property investments and residential mortgages throughout Western Canada.

The protes- ters are opposed to the min- istry’s approval of the burn- ing Kootenay Savings THE Bergeron impressed with newcomers QUEBEC (CP) — For the first time in weeks, Michel Bergeron wasn't singing the blues about Quebee Nordiques’ defence. Bergeron was impressed with newcomers Peter Andersson and Risto Siltanen in Quebec's 1-1 tie with Vancouver Canucks in a National Hockey League game Tuesday night. Both defencemen were acquired in recent trades — Andersson from Washington capitals for their third. round pick in the next entry draft and Siltanen from Hartford Whalers for John Anderson. “Considering they have been with us for a very short amount of time, they both played solidly on defence,” said the Nordiques coach. “It will take some time for them to learn our offensive system but defensively, things seem to-be looking good.” The return of Robert Picard and Pat Price from the injured list also improved Bergeron’s mood, especially since Quebec had been in an extended tailspin with an ailing defence. “Considering that we have two defencemen that haven't played in a while, the 1-1 score indicated that we faired well,” said Bergeron. CLOSES GAP The tie moved the Nordiques to within one point of Montreal Canadiens, whose 78 points leads the Adams Division, while Vancouver moved into a tie with idle Los Angeles Kings for fourth place in the Smythe Division, each with 47 points. The Canucks took a 1-0 lead into the third period but Mike Eagles tied the game at 3:08 on a 15-foot shot that beat his former r Vv ds Wendell Young, for his eighth goal of the season. After scoring the goal, Eagles picked up the puck and said later he plans to send it to Young. Eagles and Young played on the same team in the minors. “| played and lived with him for three years so I firgure I will send it to him as a gift,” said Eagles. “I hope he likes it.” Eagles was also impressed with his two new teammates. S “The fact we limited them to one is a real tribute to the new guys,” said Eagles. “It is to come into a new team without any practices but they fit right in.” In the overtime period, Young was equal to the task, stopping all six shots, including good scoring chances by Robert Picard and Peter Stastny. Picard whistled a slap shot from the point midway through the overtime but Young, who was screened, got his pad on the shot. Then with Stastny trying to stuff the puck in on the short side with 40 seconds left, Young slid across the crease to preserve the tie. “I tried to cut him (Stastny) off from coming out from the net and he put the puck into my pads,” said Young. ‘The Canucks took a 1-0 lead on a power-play goal by Rick Lanz but they were unable to put another one past Quebec goaltender Clint Malarchuk. Vancouver coach Tom Watt thought his team was too cautious. “On the whole, we played a little conservatively,” said Watt. “We were not as aggressive as we should have been. “But this is the second game on the road in eight nights and if you always try to force the play, you will have nothing left for the last game.” NHL ROUNDUP Oilers shut out 4-0 By The Canadian Press Every NHL team dreams of beating Edmonton Oilers.
