Meanwhile, administrator Dave Gairns said there could be some legal wrangles to straighten out if the library board obtains the additional funds. Gairns said the city bylaw governing the library expansion has a $400,000 limit. He suggested the present bylaw would have to be amended to reflect the change in funding. As well, Gairns said that the contractors would have to leave their bid deposits in place for up to 30 days in order for the bids to remain valid. OBJECTION— | continued from front poge election he made his support for the library project well known. Since he was re-elected, some people must also support the expansion, Embree said. However, Embree acknowledged there is a “differ ence of opinion” in the community about the library expansion. Franks responded that he is not against the library “I never was,” he said. But he said the community can't afford the expansion at this time. “Library's don't make money,” Franks said. Mayor Audrey Moore noted that the expansion proposal has been public for more than a year, and questioned why Franks waited until now to voice his objections.

That's why Credit Unions have more branches in more communities in B.C. than any other financial institu tion. Because we're owned by the members of the communities we serve, we're part of the community, and its concems are Our concems. Unlike other financial institutions, Credit Unions keep their deposit base working in the community, supporting local businesses and sponsoring a wide variety of community programs. And like our communities, we're grow- ing with pride—today, there are close to 300 branches of 130 Credit Unions, both large and small, in 150 com- munities around B.C.

It’s the seed of a Find out what your Credit Union BCs CREDIT UNIONS FIFTY YEARS STRONG observer at conference By MIKE KAbESN KO Writer Not necessarily all of the action is covered by television cameras, Mayor Audrey Moore observed following the first minister's conference in Vancouver last week. Moore told the Castlegar News ‘Tuesday that her role as an invited observer gave her a unique opportunity to mark the subtle expressions and intentions of political leaders fgom across Canada as each presented his province's expectations to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. “The interplay by the participants is fascinating to watch,” said Moore. “You get a distinct flavor for the pro- ceedings. “You can pick up on a lot of the nuances and the allegiances being formed at the table,” said Moore. “There was a lot of activity in the corridors and lounges.” Moore, who was part of a five-member observer team, said she found the conference a good learning experience She will be submitting a presentation of her observations to the Union of B.C. Municipalities, of which she is past-presi dent. “I think sometimes anybody who is prime minister of this country needs the wisdom of Solomon,” said Moore. She described how each premier'’s presentation reflected the country's varied range of economic needs. She said, for example, that the maritime provinces were con cerned with the fish market while Manitoba was furious over the awarding of the CF-18 fighter maintenance program contract to Quebec, and B.C. was concerned with the tariff issue while still expressing interest in the awarding of the contract for the construction of the proposed Polar — 8 icebreaker. Moore also pointed out that Ontario Premier David Peterson made the most “philisophical speech”, taking into consideration the concerns of the country as a whole, but when the topic turned to the equality of women, “suddenly more women appeared at the table.” Moore said she enjoyed meeting the other observers who included NDP House Leader Mark Rose; John Shield, president of the B.C. Government Employees’ Union; Marie Taylor, chairman of the B.C. Utilities Commission; and Oksana Exell from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. But Moore said she now understands. why first ministers conferences are so eagerly attended by the country's premiers “I think it's very obvious why we don't have an elected senate to do this sort of thing,” she said. “Provincial premiers enjoy fulfilling that role.” Police File A driver and his passenger walked away from a spectac ular car crash early Sunday morning with only minor in juries.

The railway initially turned down the Screen Gems Canada's request to use the station. Canadian Pacific said it was concerned about a sequence in the film showing a woman walking along the tracks, and another scene showing people riding a boxcar. Both are activities CP Rail doesn’t want to promote. TUESDAY NIGHT'S Castlegar council meeting was one of the more exciting in memory — for a couple of reasons. Firstly, there was a packed audience, some of whom grilled council on the proposed $400,000 library expansion. It was also Shaw Cable's return to the council chambers since ii quit covering council meetings about a year ago. And the cable crew was out in full force: two operating cameras and two more inside a huge Shaw Cable mobile studio parked outside city hall. And to top things off. one of the Shaw Cable camera operators collapsed while taping the meeting. Fortu nately, she escaped serious injury when she fell straight backwards. Luckily, the heavy camera equipment which she also pulled to the ground crashed beside her instead of on top of her. Council called a quick half to the proceedings while the operator was helped to her feet and out of the chambers. She was apparently fine after a few minutes. CASTLEGAR TEACHER John Orr was a guest recently on CBC Morningside when host Peter Gzowski interviewed Orr as one of two spokesmen for Amnesty International, the worldwide human rights organization Paul Bentley of Toronto was the other Amnesty spokes. man Orr explained Amnesty’s role in selecting “prisoners of conscience” political prisoners who do not espouse violence. He also spoke at length about the local group's Syrian prisoner, on whose behalf Amnesty has been working for the last 2'/2 years. Orr also told Gzowski about the Castlegar group's varied. membership. THE CASTLEGAR Mohawk has gone full-serve, at least from 8 a.m. - midnight.
