EDITORIAL
Plan needed

It may not have the drama of the debate over the Meech Lake ac-
cord or the controversy of the federal goods and services tax. Some may
even dismiss it as insignificant. But Castlegar has park wars.

Well, all right. It isn’t that serious. But the grass-roots tussle
among some city aldermen over which facilities in what city parks to
spend a short supply of money on has already gone a couple of innings
with players on both sides scoring some points.

ncil recently came to a split decision on whether to spend
$10, oo put a new fence around the pony field at Kinnaird Park.
Under the game rules, the 3-3 vote (one alderman was absent) meant
Ald. Patti Richards, chairman of council’s parks and recreation com-
mittee, struck out in her bid to get the city to earmark funds for the fen-
ce. However, the money remains in the city’s capital budget for Kin-
naird Park.

Earlier this year, Ald. Lawrence Chernoff,-who also sits on the
parks and rec committee and who voted against spending the money for
the fence, balked at the city spending up to another $20,000 to complete
the ballfield at the Community Complex. He lost that round and the
price tag for the new field is approaching $50,000.

Last week, council, perhaps fearing blood would be spilled in an
all-out bench-clearing brawl, called a time out and opted to approve the
recommendation of the parks and rec committee to let new director of
engineering and public works Ken Hample and old — in terms of ser-
vice — recreation director Pat Metge prepare a long-range recreational
plan and see if some grant money may be had to help bring local parks
facilities up to par. The pair are expected to report back to the commit-
tee by September.

We think it’s a good idea to let Mr. Hample and Mr. Metge try to
come up with a good plan because some of the fields around this city
certainly need work, such as the Kiwanis field next to the Community
Complex where local soccer players are tired of picking gravel out of
their shins.

The difficulty, as is often the case in issues such as this, will be
keeping everyone happy.

Softball — especially slowpitch — is popular at the moment and
with big-ticket items such as the Complex ballfield and fencing of the
pony field being discussed it seems like most of the city’s. parks and rec
loonies are being spent on one particular sport and its facilities.

There’s nothing wrong with spending money where it’s going to get
the most use-and we can’t fault council’s practice of trying to tackle one
major parks and recreation project per year. At the same time, we’re
happy to see aldermen speak out as Mr. Chernoff has done for par-
ticipants in other sports and parks users who may be in the minority but

who also deserve good facilities.

Any plan council approves should take that into account.

VICTORIA (CP) — In a move
laced more with irony that intent,
the man once known as Dr. Doom
has been named policy adviser to
Premier Bill Vander Zalm — just
in time for an anticipated
economic slowdown.

David Emerson, who seems too
quiet and mild-mannered to
deserve the Dr. Doom handle,
moves into the premier’s office in
mid-June as deputy minister and
secretary to the executive council.

That -makes Emerson, who’s
now deputy finance minister, one
of the most powerful, non-clected
people in the provincial gover-
nment.

“I haven't ever seen a written
job description,” said the bespec-
tacled economist, quickly moving
into bureaucrat-speak.

“But I think the critical elemen-
ts are policy and strategic advice
and helping to build and manage
the human resource capacity of
the government.”’

Emerson got his Dr. Doom
moniker because of his gloomy
economic forecast in 1982, which
prompted the B.C. government to
impose its 1983 restraint program.

Operation Solidarity, a loose
amalgam of labor and other
groups, was formed to fight the
restraints and a 13-day public sec-
tor strike resulted.

Now Emerson will worry about
continuity in the world of gover-
nment policy. He'll have to keep
tabs on all the ministry and
cabinet decisions and co-ordinate
the information flow between
cabinet ministers and the
premier’s office — providing ad-
vice along the way.

Emerson replaces Frank
Rhodes, who is leaving the
premier’s office’ to become
president and chief executive of-
ficer of the British Columbia
Ferry Corp., a plum patronage
job.

“L wouldn't want toe I'ma
strong a people person as Frank
Rhodes because he’s Mr. People
Person par excellence,’’ says

Dr. Doom back
to advise premier

Emerson, ‘‘but I think it’s an area?
where I have some ability."”

People skills were sorely needed
after Vander Zalm installed his
friend and confidant, Davi
Poole, as principal secretary in
1986. Poole’s influence was felt
everywhere in government. It
eventually created a backlash
when cabinet ministers such as
veteran Socred Grace McCarthy
quit rather than put up with what
was seen as interference by the
principal secretary. Poole later
resigned.

Since then, efforts have concen-
trated on control — stifling the
premier’s penchant for shooting
from the lip and restoring good-
will within bureaucratic and
political circles.

In fact, control is now so tight
that attempts at getting infor-
mation about the bureaucratic
structure of the premier’s office
are diverted to press secretary lan
Jessop.

“I'm sorry, I can’t tell you
anything and you should really be
talking to Mr. Jessop instead,” is
a typical response from executive
assistant Robert Buchan’s office.

As for getting the premier him-
self on the phone — forget it.

Emerson is the latest wrap of
twine meant to bind together all
the unruly bits of the premier’s of-
fice.

Emerson said he wants to en-
sure the best brain-power exists in
the premier’s office — brain-
Power that ‘‘can be moved around
to attack political issues with ap-
propriate vigor.””

He also intends to see that
government policies are ‘‘sensible
and cast in a reasonable strategic
and long-term perspective.”

In short, Emerson said, part of
his job is knowing when to raise
the red flags and pull back or
change course.

And he doesn’t see his orderly,
calm style of management conflic-
ting with the free-wheeling per-
sonality of a premier who once of-
fered shovels to everyone on
welfare. ad

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Employers warned

In a recent briefing from the labor department
of Russell and Du Moulin, the socialist hidden
labor agenda was revealed.

Employers in the province are advised to take a
number of steps, including corporate restructuring,
planning for employees to choose not to belong to a
union, and physical planning of plant entrances and
access roads to protect against secondary or
common site picketing.

This advice was promulgated following a labor
relations seminar Feb. 9 with Moe Sihota, the
socialist NDP labor critic, who has developed the
socialist plans for labor law and changes.

In spite of the socialist NDP’s promise to set
out its labor legislation platform before an election,
the agenda is to remain hidden under the guise of
seeking feedback.

Mr. Sihota plans to amend the Industrial
Relations Act to minimize third party intervention.
Russell and Du Moulin assumes this would mean
repealing most of Section 8.1 of the act dealing with
dispute resolution. A return of the Labour
Relations Board concept would tip the current
balance which has given the province three
consecutive years of historical low levels of work
place down time.

Other changes include:

© Unique but undefined rules for the
construction industry and a section of the Labour
Relations Board especially devoted to servicing
disputes in the construction industry.

© Curtailment of what Mr. Sihota refers to as
“employer free speech’’ during certification or
decertification. Mr. Sihota believes employers
should remain neutral during such votes, as if the
effect of aunion upon a company is of no

to officers,
shareholders or profit levels.

© Mr. Sihota said picketing at ‘‘secondary
sites’ of an employer should be permitted even if a
collective agreement was in effect at that site and
even if the striking employees did not work there.
Even the IWA encountered problems from pulp
mills pickets.

© A reversal of common employer and
successorship rights.

It is unsettling to notice that this socialist NDP
program has already caused employers to prepare
for a more disruptive workplace environment.

B.C.’s recent growth is tied to new capital
investment. Investors locate here because of
stability in the work place and the stability feeds
our economic future. It is because of the socialist
NDP threat and high interest rates from the federal
government that the provincial government
minister refers to B.C.’s growth as ‘‘fragile.””
Sustaining this economic growth is a key to
workers’ well being. The NDP’s socialist position
ironically hurts the working person.

Accord opposed

Not being a college professor nor a
constitutional expert, I, nevertheless, say the Meech
Lake accord should be scrapped.

It is a flawed document, not the least of which
is the language used to formulate it. It is being
forced upon us by politicians with no input from
Canadians whatsoever.

Ever since the Quebec act of 1774 we have
recognized a difference in and about Quebec. The
accord, however, does not include the Charter of
Rights and Freedoms and could mean that, in
promoting a distinct society within Quebec,
women’s rights, for instance, could become
secondary to any government program in Quebec,

What does promote a distinct society mean?
Can Quebec, at some future date in order to
promote a distinct society for French Canadians,
prohibit the teaching of English at any school in
Quebec?

Under the accord, Supreme Court judges from
Quebec have complete jurisdiction over who will sit
for their three permanent positions, hence the
appointments become political and not from those
best suited for the job.

The Northwest Territories and the Yukon do
not share in the nominating power for the other six
positions. If the federal government is unwilling to
approve any of the provincial nominees, there is no
mechanism in the accord to settle the impasse
except to leave the seat empt:

At present, Senate nominations do not reflect
shifting population patterns and under the accord
all provinces must agree to a change since everyone
has a veto. The unanimity rule under Meech is a
serious flaw for any future agreements on virtually
everything.

Northern residents, especially Indians and
Inuit, have nothing to gain under Meech. It makes
it almost impossible for the Yukon or the
Territories to become provinces of Canada sharing
equally (except for Quebec) under confederation.

There is more that’s wrong with Meech but
what really bugs me is that the Canadian people
were not The accord was in
secret without a mandate. Choosing a constitution
is serious enough for a national referendum, not a
clandestine meeting behind closed doors. Our local
member of Parliament Lyle Kristiansen should
have explained the repercussions of the accord and
what was at stake, but I guess where one is busy
doing a survey of beachcombers in the Bahamas or
something, one can’t look at everything. But Meech
is serious, really serious, and we deserve better from
a member of Parliament.

As of today{May 17) the Quebec premier has
stated no changes or amendments to the accord
will be accepted by Quebec. It’s too bad we don’t
have politicians with guts enough to say no to
Quebec — bussing the Quebec derriere seems to be
part of federal politics.

I for one think Canada and confederation
would be better off without Quebec. At least B.C.
would have some say in Canada.

Barrett not believed

I can’t believe the gall of Davie Barrett. It was
reported that he wound up his speech, during his
recent visit to Trail, by addressing the issue of how
an NDP government would pay for its promises.

“*We used to have a lot of money in this
Province when the NDP was in power,’’ he said.

A more accurate statement would be, ‘‘We
used to have a lot of money until the NDP got in
power.’’ The province was in great financial shape
when the NDP took over. Three years later, even
union people wanted them out.

We are still paying today for things the NDP.
did during those disastrous years. It may be nice to
give, give, give but someone has to pay, pay, pay.

Barrett-brags about how the NDP government
got such a deal when it bought up the bankrupt
forest companies and he lambasted the Bennett
government for permitting most of them to get
back into the private sector where they belong.

“*We acquired $300 million worth of assets for
$40 million and an $80 million mortgage,’’ he said.

No mention of how they drove business and
investors out of the province in order to do it, and
how we taxpayers had to pay the cost of not only
buying up the defunct businesses, but also pay the
shortfall when costs exceeded profits as often
happens in i run by b

back. If the private sector is not producing
products and creating jobs, the government does
not have anywhere to tax to get real money from to
pay its employees, politicians and everything else.
Perhaps Davie has not learned his lesson
because his mistakes were and are being paid out of
our pockets, not his. In spite of his blunders, he still
fteceives more money, plus the security of a huge
pension (from the public trough), than most of us
could dream of earning for doing nothing more
than bad-mouthing others. I wonder how people
could manage to keep their hot dogs down!

Keep the rail line

I urge the National Transportation Agency
and CP Rail to make a responsible decision and not
abandon the CP line between Midway and
Castlegar and the resultant abandonment of the
Slocan Valley line.

As a Canadian growing up in Canada, I felt the
importance of the rail lines. I felt safe if I obeyed
the law of the track. This does not hold true-of
highways. In Kamloops, an inquiry has taken place
regarding an industrial truck making a wrong turn
and losing control, killing the driver and five
innocent people.

The more we increase truck transportation, the
more we face human error causing immeasurable
amounts of suffering. The truckers could be given
jobs on the rail and our communities could be safe
and clear. We have the right to use expropriated
and already paid for railways, paid for in human
energy by our forefathers and foremothers.

The rail could: make competitive freight rates
but to me greed is what is motivating CPR as I
suspect it will move in with its truck fleet after we,
the taxpayers, pay for a new and dangerous
highway system.

The Europeans are going more to state-of-the-
art transportation due to the cost of fuel and an

an that the
NTA and CP Rail should be waking up to. We
cannot keep using trucks if the planet and future
generations are to survive.

Transpor jon must take into concern safety
for communities and not just profit margin of

giants when choosing to ab:
anything. The tracks must stay and at least until
Celgar Pulp Co. has answered public questions and
concerns regarding transportation of chips through
our rural valley, a valley with many children and
animals.

I would call attention to the wisdom of the
native elders — when a decision is made, it must be
done with consideration for the future seven
generations. Please make the decision with this in

important for local residents to write to
nal Transportation Agency and CP Rail
opposing the abandonment of the railroad, I
believe this is a decision that is going backward
when we need more than ever to look to the future
if there is to be a future.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Studied evasion

Premier Bill Vander Zalm’s reply May 4 to our
Nov. 30 letter; which he stated came belatedly
because he required time to investigate our
complaints, is shocking in its studied evasion of the
issues we cited.

His conclusion that Mr. (Ken) Arnett of the
Forest Service has made “‘major efforts to
incorporate public concerns into the planning
Process”’ flies in the face of the fact that Arnett and
the Forest Service has completely ignored, for over
two years, demands by all the local elected
representatives in the Slocan area to halt clearcut
logging within the domestic watersheds and visual
corridor of the Slocan Valley in favor of selective
logging.

the quality of life in this area as well as our larger
duty toward the planet.

Our gratitude is qualifed, however, because the
major project review process as a whole contains
some outstanding anomalies and makes its
application as an assessment tool highly suspect.

It is not rational, for example, to base an

the progenitor of any given industrial initiative. To
do so is asking for a measure of integrity impossible
for industries privileged with the managing and
harvesting of other people’s resources to attain.

Neither is it rational not to include in the

Barrett’s comment that ‘‘even the extremely
conservative past U.S. president Ronald Reagan
implemented a minimum corporate tax’’ shows that
he still has not learned his lesson. You cannot force
business or industry to start up, expand, come to
your province or even stay in your province to
create jobs, by taxing them to death. And creating
more government jobs only increases the cost that
has to be paid by the people working in the private
sector because even though people that work for
the government pay taxes, the money those people
pay taxes with comes from the same place.

The nice pensions the people that work for the
government receive also come from the same place
— even the portion they pay into it. That is why our
