Candidates Seeking Aldermanic Position

Several issues concerning
the City of Castlegar have
prompted Albert Calderbank to
seek a positio on the local city
council, as well as a director.
ship on the Regional District of
Central Kootenay,

“Tam very concerned with
the operation of the city, as my
livelihood is very dependent on
the prosperity of the people
who reside here,” he says, “My
availability is, I feel, essential
in the positions I am seeking,
and is only possible due to the
fNexibility of my working hours
which are not dependent on an
employer.”

Mr. Calderbank is’ con-
cerned with the ever-increasing
escalation of municipal taxes,
and every indication that they
will continue to do so. He feels
these increases are quickly
teflected in the local cost of
living, and the first to feel the
hardship are people on fixed
incomes and senior citizens.

“It is, of course, obvious
that if I should become a mem-
ber of council, I will not be able
to reverse or change the trend
to increases, but I will under-
take to do my best to keep

business community is minimal.

City council has not ade-
‘quately publicized a great deal
of the work it has done in the
past, says Mr. Calderbank. This
also applies to the Regional
District of Central Kootenay.
He believes this ‘can easily be

and stop the bankruptcy route
for which we could easily be
heading.”

The lack of employment
opportunity for young people in
this area is another issue which
concerns Mr. Calderbank. He
feels that the development of a
light industrial site would assist
local employment, and also help
with our tax base.

“Local businesses are re-
ceiving very little encourage-
ment to improve or expand. In
the past, strong leadership
from council has been Jacking,
and I hope to see this improve
in the future,” he says,

Can't Smoke
Under 16

It is illegal for youths
under 16 to smoke in Canada
and members of the Canadian

with more open coun-
cil meetings and less work in
committee.

“I feel that a strong active
council should not be operating
behind closed doors. Committee
work should be confined to
business of a confidential
nature, which might be used to
the detriment of the city. I will
therefore, if elected, do all I can
to shed more light on municipal
affairs,” he says.

“With regard to the loca-
tion of a maximum security
prison in this area, it would not

reject or have this establish-
ment situated here, but must
surely rest with the wishes of
the electors,

to apply the law.

A 1908 federal law entitled
the Act for the Repression of
the Use of Tobacco by Adoles-
cents forbids children under 16
to:use or possess cigarettes,
cigarette paper or tobacco and
provides fines for those who
offer them to minors.

The council, meeting in
Quebec City this week, says the
law is all but forgotten, even by
police forces, who consider it
more important to chase mari-
juana smokers,

An RCMP spokesman in
Quebec City said enforcement

of the law was left to Rrovidelal:

and municipal police.

The Quebee’Provincisl Po-
lice said it does not intend to do’
anything about enforcing the
law as long as the federal
prosecutor does not ask for
enforcement.

city. “Yet, very little is ever
heard of their activities. Our
representation must be strong
and decisive, so that the- best
interests of the:city-are taken
care of.” - + =

Mr. Calderbank’s other

concerns and goals include low
cost housing, a municipal cre-
matorium, water supply—
particularly in the southern
part of Castlegar, sidewalks,
downtown parking, and the
running of the city as a big
business, instead of two very
small towns.

Albert Calderbank was
born in England and lived many
years in Central: and West
Africa, prior to coming to
Canada and Castlegar in 1964.
He became a Canadian citizen
in 1973,

He was nine years District
of Boy Scouts

and is past president of the B.C.
Heart Foundation. He has been
active in many community
organizations and projects and
is currently president of the
Chamber of Commerce.

Mr. Calderbank worked for
CanCel until he became owner
of Caldset Groceteria five years
ago.

Jack Chernoff ©

Jack Chernoff is returning
to the local political scene after
a twoyear absence by con-
testing the aldermanic and re-
gional district director posi-
tions in the upcoming municipal
election.

Mr. Chernoff is a former
alderman and region district
director of the town of Kinnaird
and the City of Castlegar.

In seeking election, he
says, “I care for my community
and feel it is at this level that I
can serve it best.”

Realizing many of the
city’s services must be im-
proved upon, Mr. Chernoff feels
economic situation with in-
flation and various senior
government controls dictates
that those responsible will have
to choose their priorities very
carefully so as not to over-
burden the taxpayers.

He wants the doors of
communication between council

and the citizens to be opened-

and a more amicable usage of,
the special committees which
are appointed by council to be
established.

Mr.. Chernoff states that
although political economy is
not the most favorable at this
time, he is aware of some funds
that are available for municipal
projects frorh provincial and
federal agencies. “However,
one cannot sit back and expéct
them to come to you,” he says.

He will endeavor to search
out all avenues of senior
government funding and apply

these grants to appropriable

projects as they, arise.

‘The "regional distri¢t is‘a
extremely important ‘develop.
mentin the local government of
our province’ and as former
director, he realizes the bene-
fits that are available. He is
most concerned that Castlegar,
being the largest contributor
tax-dollar-wise, gets little in
return.

He is inspired with a desire
for a progressive change in this
area by fighting for its fair
share of the pie.

Mr. Chernoff is employed
with the Traffic Department of
Cominco and resides at 910 -
10th Ave. S. with his wife, Bev
and son, Jason,

He seeks the public’s sup-
port at the polls and if success-
ful, promises to deliver a

creditable job on the city's
behalf.

Undisturbed
By Mail Ads?

Few Canadians have taken
advantage of the offer to have
their names removed from or
added to mailing lists of major
mail order companies, Frank
Ferguson, general manager of
the Canadian Direct Mail
Marketing Association, said
recently.

“Possibly Canadians don't

“These will be the head-
lines five years from now if

Jim Gouk, a candidate for city
alderman.

“The statements made
above are, of course, fictional

he says. “The following are
facts as they exist now:

“If the light snowfall con-
