Sharing the dream

When Rick Hansen wheels into
Castlegar on Friday in the middle
ot the afternoon he will be only 967
kilometres from achieving a dream
that he’s been striving to fulfill for
more. than two years. For much.of
those two yeors he shared his
dream with a handful of supporters
and people in other countries —
but no longer.

His dream has become the
dream of millions of Canadians
from coast to coast, in large cities
and small towns. And it has
become the dream of thousands of
Castlegar residents who have
baked cakes, washed cars, raffled
items, ran, jogged and walked —
all to help Rick Hansen achieve his
dream.

Thot dream is, of course, three-
fold: to make everyone aware of
the capabilities of disabled people,
to raise funds for spinal cord
research, rehabilitation and
wheelchair sport, and to show the

benefit of sport as a form of
rehabilitation.
tocal awareness of the abilities
of the.disabled hos already been
retlected in changes in the com-
munity. For instance, the Castlegar
liquor store has changed its doors
so that wheelchair bound cus-
tomers and physically handicapped
no longer have to fight their way
through the double exit doors.

But even more obvious has
been the change in residents’ at-
titudes toward the disabled. Ask
anyone and they will say they are
more aware of the disabled and it

the streets to cheer him on to show

I take’ two weeks off and the
world goes crazy. Svend Robinson
and some NDP buddies jeer U.S.
President Ronald Reagan, the Mul-
roneys spend more than $300,000 to
spruce up their digs at 24 Sussex
Drive, B.C. teachers turn militant,
and Mayor Audrey Moore finds
herself embroiled in patronage al-
legations.

Let’s take them one at a time.
First, the Robinson/NDP heckling
of Reagan in the House of Commons.
What was so amazing about this one

is that it drew so much comment — .

from both sides. It overshadowed
anything Reagan or Prime Minister
Brian Mulroney had to say about
free trade, acid rain and Arctic sov-
ereignty (but then they never said
much anyway).

Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco
jumped at the chance to blast the
NDP — who have been looking far
too comfortable in second place in
the polls. He knows that in this
riding it isn’t the Liberals who are
the Opposition. So he made the most
of the situation, saying Robinson, et.
al. embarrassed Canada with their
rudeness.

Alright, maybe they were rude
and perhaps (though this is stret-
ching it a little) they did mildly
embarrass the country. But no more
so than Reagan was rude to Canada
and mildly embarrassed his nation.
Reagan was invited to make a
speech to the House knowing full
well Canada’s position on Star Wars
and Nicaragua, yet he chose to make
statements that were clearly atag-
onistic; not very proper for a guest.

Besides, Reagan wasn't making
small talk; he was making highly
political statements to a political
body. It shouldn't have been any
surprise that the reaction from
some NDP MPs was purely political.

But enough about Reagan's heck
lers and onto the Mulroneys’ re-
decorating. The Liberals and NDP
made hay of this issue, but Trans
port Minister John Crosbie ap-
peared to have the best perspective
when he said taxpayers should be
grateful to the Progressive Con.
servative party, after all, they
picked up the $308,000 tab — not the
public.

I can't help but think back to the
days of former prime ministers
Pierre Trudeau and Joe Clark. If I
recall correctly, when the Clarks
moved into 24 Sussex Drive, they
had it redecorated. When Joe Clark
lost office nine months later and
Trudeau shuffled his belongings
back in, the residence was redec
orated yet again — all at taxpayer
expense

Much was also made about the
Mulroneys’ wardrobe. The Toronto
Globe and Mail reported the prime
minister's closet at 24 Sussex Drive
was designed for 30 suits and 84
pairs of shoes, including at least 50

pairs of his favorite Gucci loafers,
which go for between $300 and $450,
a pair. That doesn't sit too well with
those lined up at the food banks or
waiting for the unemployment in-
surance cheque. Still, the guy's a
onetime millionaire business execu-
tive. Did we expect Hush Puppies
maybe?

Onto the teachers. They are set to
walk out for one day Tuesday over
the provincial government's Bill 20.
What's interesting about this issue
is the teachers have taken more
action against the government's
new legislation than the trade union
movement has against Bill 19.

The teachers seem to be primarily
angry over the government prop-
osal to in effect disband the B.C.
Teachers’ Federation and replace it
with a College of Teachers and in-
dividual teacher unions in each of
the 75 school districts. It's the indi-
vidual unions which the BCTF fears
the most. They feel that after
paying dues to the College of Tea-
chers and the local union, teachers
won't want to support the BCTF as
well. It's a point well taken.

But it is curious why the gov-
ernment simply didn't use the
province's registered nurses as an
example. For nearly 70 years nurses
were organized under the Regis-
tered Nurses’ Association of B.C. —
the nurses’ equivalent of the BCTF.
Then, a few years ago the nurses
decided to split the functions into
two: the RNABC would handle all
professional actiyities — like the
College of Teachers the pro
has proposed. A separate ly
called the B.C. Nurses’ Union was
established to handle bargaining.

The division of labor works well.
Teachers should consider proposing
a similar system.

And as for Moore's appointment
to the B.C. Petroleum Corp., what
more can I say? She will make $350
for each day the’board sits, which is
expected to be about twice a month.

Energy Minister Jack Davis says
he chose Moore, not because she
carried the Social Credit banner in
Rossland-Trail in the last election,
but for her business expertise. The
government plans to phase out the
petroleum corporation by 1989 and
has about 700 contracts to settle
before then.

Moore, for her part, brings with
her considerable experience at the
municipal level — both with the
Union of B.C. i ities and

cision by the B.C. Utilities C
on the ‘sale of the West Kootenay
Power .and Light Co. to UtiliCorp
United of Kansas City, Mo., I° feel
obligated to report some additional

seem to app
difference between foreign ownership
of private industrial plants — such as
pulp mills and smelters — as compared

concerns which have recently come to
my attention.

Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco when
discussing shortfalls in power gener-
ation at WKPL during winter peaking
periods in a recent letter to me, pointed
out a reality which to me is quite
alarming. He said, “With the possibility
of deregulation of the utilities industry
it may be entirely possible for an owner
to purchase Hugh Keenleyside Dam
and to provide additional generating
capacity at Keenleyside, if I had the
option it would be the latter.”

What our MP does not seem to
realize is that the majority of the
250,000 residents of the WKPL service
area are strongly opposed to ownership
by UtiliCorp United, or any other
foreign corporation — of some, any or
all — of the vital utilities at WKPL,
Keenleyside Dam or the Kootenay
Canal.

From our MP's. suggestion, along
with Premier Vander Zalm's hints at
possibly privatizing B.C. Hydro, the
alarming possibility now looms that
upon acquisition of WKPL UtiliCorp’s
next step could be to acquire the Keen-
léyside Dam, the Kootenay Canal or
both. Furthermore, it then becomes
conceivable that UtiliCorp or some
other American corporation could
acquire all of the dams on the Canadian
portions of both the Columbia and
Kootenay Rivers. This would put
Canada ji deplorably weak position
when ‘it comes to re-negotiating the
Columbia River Treaty in the 1990s.

To carry the scenario one step
further, I believe there is a strong
possibility that UtiliCorp’s proposed
purchase of WKPL could be intended
as a first step in the proposed
acquisition of empire of power
generating utilities through the
province of B.C. and perhaps through-
out Canada.

(Any nation’s security depends upon
the security of its major public utilities.
If these utilities are in the hands of
foreign owners ‘then, in a sense, that
nation’s secugitg is in foreign hands.
Surely this is what we want for
Canada. " .

to foreign hip of major public
utilities affecting every resident of the
service area — 250,000 people in the
case of WKPL.)

Since the proposed sale of WKPL to
UtiliCorp would clearly set a Canadian
precedent, we had better make up our
minds — now. Are Canadians going to
continue to own and to operate their
own hydroelectric generating plants,
and to retain full regulatory control
and accountability over these facilities,
or are they going to take the lazy way
out and have foreign corporations look
after these utilities for them — at the
risk of being foreigners in their own
land?

In my written reply to Bob Brisco I
said: “If, as a result of any such
derégulation (of the utilities‘ industry)
UtiliCorp or any other foreign con-
trolled corporation were to propose
acquisition of the Keenleyside Dam
and/or Kootenay Canal Dam, be
assured that there would be significant

and substantial opposition from the
K -0) Electric Consum-
ers Asociation and many other citizens
who believe in an independent Canada,
controlling its own hydroelectric gen-
erating utilities.”

One final point: I believe that
ownership of WKPL by UtiliCorp
would result in our hydroelectric gen-
erating complex being more closely
linked than it presently is with the
giant Bonneville Power Authority — of
which UtiliCorp proposes to buy a sub-
stantial portion, The BPA in turn is
linked with the huge nuclear power
complex at Hanford. (This aging nu-
clear complex with numerous safety

Bridge closure
‘great disservice

As a resident of both Castlegar and
Robson for the last nine years, I feel
that the Ministry of Highways’ inten-
tion to close the Castlegar footbridge
on the CPR bridge crossing the
Columbia River must be based on
misleading information concerning its
service to the two communities.

I, my family, friends, visitors and
class who use the footbridge, some on a
daily basis, all appreciate having it as a
quick link from one side of the river to
the other. Not only is it handy when
one’s car is not working or the ferry is
out of order, it is a very scenic walk and
has excellent potential as an area
tourist attraction.

Students from Robson attending
town schools often use the bridge when
they have missed a school bus, are
engaged in extracurricular activities,
or choose to visit a friend in town.

Students from town often use the
bridge to get to Pass Creek Park in the
summer.

Historically, the train was built
before the ferry or other bridges close
by existed. A footbridge was added to
prevent accident and injury to those
walking the train tracks to get to or
from town.

Castlegar is working at making itself
a“CrOssroads of the Kootenays.” I, my
friends, family and class believe that by
dismantling the railway footbridge,
the ministry would be doing our
communities a great disservice. I ask
the ministry to. reconsider for the
reasons stated. The Castlegar foot-
bridge crossing the Columbia River
must remain as a local, vital transport-
ation link.

‘Hecklers supported

I note with dismay recent news an.
nouncements that report that NDP
Leader Ed Broadbent has reprimanded
those members of the New Democratic
Party who interrupted President Ron-
ald Reagan during his recent presen-
tation to the members of the House of
Commons and the Senate about Star
Wars and Central America, particu-
larly Nicaragua.

Surely he is aware of the opposition
of C in the peace
who feel that Star Wars will destabilize
the arms race and lead to an increase
rather than a decrease in nuclear

with the Canadian-Federation of
Municipalities.

Still, voters would have to be
deaf, blind and especially dumb to
believe she wasn't chosen because of
her Socred party contacts. Never
theless, there is a silver lining to the
appointment: Moore will bring a
Castlegar and West Kootenay voice
to the corporation — and that is
always welcome.

an opposition shared by
/ \eading scientists, church leaders, poli-
ticians and many others from all parts
of the world. It has been stated time
and timé again that Star Wars will
have a devastating influence on the
economy of the United States and
hence extremely serious effects on
Canada and all those countries of the
Western Alliance. The predictions
about the social and political conse-

quences are grave and ominous.
‘As a member of the Socialist- Inter-

national who has visited Nicaragua and
other parts of South and Central
America, Mr. Broadbent must be well
aware of the true situation in that
unhappy part of the world. He can't
help but be aware that any credibility
that the Reagan policy had in Nicar-
agua has now been destroyed by the
recent Iran/Contra revelations. He
must know of the opposition to the
Reagan policy in Nicaragua by the
Pope and most church leaders, by the
World Court and the United Nations,
by civil libertarians and lawyers, by
human rights activists and military
persons concerned about the long
range implications of American mili-
tary involvement there and in Hon:
duras. Politicians from all of the West-
ern Alliance and the majority of the
American Congress and Senate now
oppose the Reagan policy in Central
America.

It is now generally admitted that the
“summit” was a carefully planned and
orchestrated scheme to bolster the
reputations of both Mr. Reagan and
Mr. Mulroney. It was never expected

that any worthwhile progress would be
made on the three main issues of acid
rain, free trade and northern sover-
iegnty. Rather we saw a carefully
planned activity to manipulate the
media and the people of Canada and the
United States in an effort to enhance
the flagging fortunes of the main actors
in this political charade. Mr. Broadbent
must be aware of this.

I think Mr. Broadbent would have
served the interests of the Canadian
people and the NDP if he had led the
New Democratic caucus out of the
house at the time of Mr. Reagan's
lecture to the elected members of
parliament on American policies which
are unacceptable to many of the mem-
bers and large numbers-of Canadians.

It is not the three members of the
New Democratic Party who should be
censured but rather those who did not
have the courage or dignity to object to
Mr. Reagan taking advantage of them
to propagate discredited, dangerous
and immoral ideas.

Meet the unit guiders —

By MARGARET MacBAIN

Guiding must certainly be one of the
largest volunteer organizations in the
world. One hundred and eight
countries are members of the Guiding
family. Few positions have the luxury
of being “paid” employment in the
monetary sense, but each member is
rewarded in non-monetary. ways.

Meet the unit guiders. They are
responsible for 18-24 girls for a weekly
two-hour meeting. But, their time
commitment is much greater. They
spend time planning and preparing for
the meeting and activities.

In addition, there are special events
such as teas, cookie sales, hikes,
outdoor activities and camping. The
program within the various branches
focuses on service to others, home
skills, community awareness, global
awareness and outdoor skills, safety
and conservation.

The women who lead are not trained
teachers ‘but interested and: involved
adults,"“Who learn-as‘thpy-go° thr

sessions and monthly meetings to keep
Guiders updated on program changes
and methods.
