Site rezoned for mall

By CasNews Staff

Castlegar council took the first step
Tuesday toward paving the way for a
Winnipeg-based development company
to construct a small mall east of Castle
aird Plaza.

Council gave first reading to a bylaw
rezoning the six-acre “eliptical” site
from light industrial use to comprehen.
sive commercial use. The property is
bounded by Highway 3 and the CP Rail
line.

Ald. LenEmbree, planning commit
tee chairman, told the Castlegar News
that First Commercial Properties Ltd.

That means any development must

of Winnipeg recently approached the
city to begin the rezoning process.

A publie hearing on the rezoning has
been set for 6:30 p.m. Oct. 23 in the
council chambers at city hall.

Embree said a number of issues must
still be clarified, like access to the
property. So, council has also made the
site part of a development permit area.

The B.C. Institute of Technology in January created
a position of dean of development, and has formed a
development council which will solicit money for the
institute.

Vancouver Community College — the province's
largest community college — got into the money-raising
business seriously this year with the formation of the

$150,000 money-raising campaign.

Dougias Community College is said to be collecting
private sector contributions for student aid and is
deciding whether it should start collecting money for
itself to offset a $1 million shortfall expected next year.

In addition to these institutions, Freno-Link says
both Camosun and Malaspina colleges have “develop-
ment” offices.

Selkirk College's foundation board so far includes
Tom Biln, a Castlegar businessman; Castlegar News
columnist John Charters; Charles Foster, manager of the
Roya! Bank in Nelson; Nelgon lawyer Donald Skogstad;
James Gray, General Manager of Administration for
Comineo in Trail; Mare Marcolin of Trail, a recently-
retired Comineo executive; and Castlegar school board

Reagan too old to run?

WASHINGTON (AP)
Democrats are saying Presi
dent Reagan's performance
in the presidential debate
may be a sign of advancing
age,” but Republicans are
shrugging it off as an “off
night” compounded by poor
staff work.

Politicians in both parties
are watching whether Rea-

man for the Reagan cam-

the president had an “off

it was a sign of age.

At 78, Reagan is the oldest
man § setve as president. If
re-elected he would be two
weeks short of 78 at the end
of his second term.

Neither Mondale nor his
staff are raising the age
issue, but _other Democrats
are less hesitant.

Representative John Mc
Cain (R-Ariz.) said Tuesday
the strength of the age issue
may depend on how Reagan
does on Oct. 21, when he and

said: “There were lapses in
the thinking apparently and
the alertness of the president
during the debate that might
well be attributed to his in-
creasing years.”

Thé presidentd/ age also
was being discusied in the
media.

The lead story in The Wall
Street Journal on Tuesday
had this headline: New Ques
tion in Race: Is Oldest Presi-
dent Now Showing His Age?

David Broder, political col
umnist for the Washington
Post, wrote that Reagan's
debate performance “let the
age issue emerge as it had
not done in any of his pre-
vious campaigns.”

At a news conference
Tuesday, Coelho said Rea

Democrats are tentative
about.”

The president's _ perfor.
mance was weak Sunday, he
added. “He rambled and he
had difficulty recalling.”

public comment on the age

ALUMNI INCLUDED
College alumni will also be tapped in the drive to

raise money.

The college is hoping to establish an alumni network
where students and graduates can donate to specific
projects.

It will take some doing,” Freno-Link says. “We
don't have an official alumni office or network estab-
lished. That's a major task for us right now.”

One of the activities high on the fundraising list will
be support for the scholarship program.

“This year the college has been able to cite a number
of cases where students accepted have had to withdraw
before the start of classes because of financial reasons,”

says Freno-Link.

The college will also look at supporting programs for
special interest groups; at the possibility of having a
visiting lecturer; and at the purchase of instructional
equipment that the college may not be able to afford in its
current budget.

“The money the foundation will be raising will be for
specifie projects that have been identified as needs
funding,” Freno-Link stressed.

“One reason why we chose to go the project route
was because it is more meaningful for people when they
know that gave to a specific scholarship fund or an inter-
nationally-reknown export in the field of forestry who
was able to spend a week working with students.

“We'll be looking to the community through an
annual campaign to support a specific cause, ” Freno-Link

college through giving donations of equipment and books.

ALD. MARILYN Mathieson told Castlegar council
Tuesday sh a little coneerned that the Kootenay
Boundary Visitors’ Association may want to move its
office back to Nelson. The KBVA is currently housed in a
building at the airport — admittedly a place that doesn't
get a lot of foot traffic.

Mathieson says the KBVA is on a tight budget like
everyone else and may run into problems being located at
the airport.

MAYOR AUDREY Moore had something to say
about the huge new sign that was erected two kilometres
south of Salmo on Highway 3. The sign stands about six
metres high (18 feet) and easily as wide, and points out
that visitors can turn off just ahead to see historic Salmo
and Nelson. The sign was erected by chamber of
commerce and civic leaders in Salmo and Nelson.

Moore noted there is a similar sign just west of the
turnoff to Rossland and Trail at the Nancy Greene Lake
junction on Highway 3 and another east of the junction
between Salmo and Castlegar. Both signs advertise Trail,
Rossland, Fruitvale and Montrose.

“I wonder if we're going to get into a sign war?”
asked Moore

She suggested Castlegar may have to erect a sign
pointing it out as the “secret city of the Kootenays.”

Ald. Marilyn Mathieson added that “things are not
being handled that equally.” Mathieson said some tourist
operators go through the proper routes to have signs
erected and are turned down while others simply erect
signs and the signs stay up.

Is the CKQR sign on Highway 3 just west of
Castlegar one of the latter?

THE AUCTION at the Sandner Brothers Sawmill at
Christina Lake on Sept. 28 drew 530 bidders and grossed
about $750,000. The bidders came from as far as Cali-
fornia, the Yukon and Nevada and with absentee bidds
from as far as Baltimore, Maryland.

More than 200 items were on the auction block, most
of which belonged to the Sandner Brothers Sawmill,

A SCANDINAVIAN student exchange program is
looking for a volunteer to serve as area representative in
the Castlegar area. ASSE (which originally stood for
American Scandinavian Student Exchange) is affiliated
with the Swedish and Finnish Ministries of Education,
according to a press release from the organization.
The organization provides academic year exchange
programs in Canada for Scandinavian, West German,
Swiss, British and Dutch students 16 to 18 years of age.
The group is also looking for “qualified” Canadian
high school students to take part in a six-week summer
program or for the 1985-86 academic year in Europe. For

He said the board must decide
whether to continue with regional

Asked if electoral areas could fund

get as it stands, he said they could, but
“all they've got to do is pay twice as
much.”

Area I paid $23,815 last year for
planning, while Area J paid $11,030.

Ald. Len Embree, chairman of coun-
cil's planning committee, also defended
the city’s decision to pull out of the
regional planning.

“The City of Castlegar is in the best
position it’s ever been in” regarding
regional planning, he told couneil
Tuesday.

He said that when council needed a
city plan, it had to use its own staff
because regional planners didn't have
the time

“They were loaded down with a lot of
rural planning,” he said.

Embree suggested the city will be
able to say how much money it will
spend on planning. If a regional plan
affects the city, and the city can use

part of the plan, then the city will help
foot part of the costs, he said.

Maglio added that planning must be

said. Instead, council is “on top” of how

Meanwhile, Nelson Mayor Maglio
urged council to reconsider its decision
to opt out “on the basis of the overall
benefits that accrue to the region as a
whole and which in turn benefits the
individual municipalities in the regional
district.”

He said the planning program
focuses on developmental planning and
not strictly land use planning.

“Much attention has been given to

“The two programs have worked

“The City of Nelson is not opting out

time, but rather is counting on con

the regional district board to redefine
the municipalities’ planning mandate,”
jaglio said.

“We would urge your municipality to
reconsider any decision to opt out on
the same basis.”

Mayor Audrey Moore noted that the

were joined.

In fact, the regional board agreed in

functions separate.

There are precautions you can take around the
home, in your place of business, on the farm, to
prevent tragic fires from ever starting. Faulty wiring,
careless cigarette smoking habits, cluttered areas are
just some of the ways to invite disaster, and once a
fire takes hold, the destruction to lives and property
can be immeasurable. Act now, and avoid a tragedy
later on. Observe good fire safety practices and learn
the correct procedures to take in the event of a fire.
