A2 CASTLEGAR NEWS, November 12, 198) D'Arcy denies charges By CasNews Staff Rossland: ‘Trail MLA Chris * D'Arcy Tuesday denied any. allegations of wrong-doing in’ processing new NDP mem- berships. “The whole thing seems to be somewhat D'Arcy told the Castlegar News. The allegations stem from members — mainly seniors and low income earners — are permitted to pay less than $20, but others who can * easily afford the $20 are bizarre,” ’ 90 new riding membership : a cards D'Arcy signed and processed through his Trail constituency office. D'Arcy sent the member- ships directly to the provin- cial NDP office in Vancouver, rather than through the rid- ing secretary as is considered, normal procedure, and is re+ quired by local party bylaws, Riding president John Weir would only say that a formal complaint has heen lodged with the provincial organization. “We're waiting now to hear from Gerry Stoney (NDP provincial president),” Weir added. He said he is not at liberty to divulge any more information. The charges come with'less than a week to go before the riding’s nomination conven- tion, which is set for Sunday afternoon in the Cominco gym. D'Arcy, MLA since 1972, is facing a challenge for the CHRIS D‘ARCY . . charge ‘bazzare’ bers of the riding executive. A story in the Nov. 9. Nelson Daily News indicates the executive not only has concerns about the procedure D'Arcy followed, but also the validity of signatures on several cards he processed. The article said its infor- mation came from an un- named riding executive mem- ber. However, several party members told the Castlegar News the executive is con- cerned that many of the 90 new members were signed for less than the $20 the party from Rob- son teacher Martin Vander- pol and Nelson lawyer Stan thn Both are also mem- bills the riding for each mem-- bership. The sources said some new Columbia; shuttle sailing. smoothly CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. (AP) — The U.S space shuttle Columbia sailed into orbit today, the first craft from earth to make a return trip to space. The shuttle carried two American astronauts, Joe Engle and Richard Truly, on a five-day test flight to prove Columbia is a truly reflyable rocketship — and more. Sci- éntific monitors. were aboard the ship, along with #,Can: adian-developed robot arm that will demonstrate the shuttle’s ability to work in space. Launch was_ perfect, breathtaking, when it finally came, at 10:10 a.m. EST. Discovery Park suggested “You wouldn't believe this; this is fun,” pilot Truly said while troubleshooting a mi- nor problem. That came 64 minutes into the mission and shuttle communicator Dan Brandenstein remarked: “I figured you'd say something like that sooner or later.” In the first hours of flight, Brandenstein addressed the shuttle crew this way: ae umbia, Columbia perhaps symbolizing that i day's was the shuttle’s sec- ond and perhaps most impor- tant flight: Proof a ship had been built which could and would return to space. asked to pay it. They ~complained D'Arcy signed local business people for less than $20. D'Arcy said, “It's difficult commenting on something nobody will officially admit to." He added he can't under- stand why some executive members have decided to talk to the press when no official statement has been made by the executive. “I don't like to comment on what amounts to rumor.” However when pressed, D'Arcy denied contravened normal procedure. “We've always had memberships come through this office.” Normally they've. only been a “trickle,” he said. But after the nominating meeting was called “the trickle be- came a flood.” He said the riding doesn't decide if someone will be- come a party member. “We simply file them.” He said it’s up to the provincial organi- zation to review applications. D'Arcy pointed out he did not recruit the new mem- bers, but applications were simply dropped off at his office. D'Arcy added that the Sept. 16 provincial NDP list for Rossland-Trail shows that of the 764 memberships, nearly 50 per cent — 860 — paid less than $20. Only 90 of those — or about 25 per cent — were mem- berships cleared through the Trail office, D'Arcy noted. The rest were cleared through the riding secretary. No one has questioned those, he pointed out. Work-to-rule continued from page Al vision and there's no reason students shouldn't be able to responsibility them- selves. One student concern is a dance slated for tomorrow night. Teachers normally help supervise the dance, but Jones said students may have to approach parents and service clubs to volunteer. She said she already knows some parents who would be willing to help out. Jones also denied alle- gations the board's negotiat- ing committee is not treating the teachers’ negotiating committee properly. She said the board's com- mittee is substantially differ- ent this year, but its attitude is the same. However, she noted the teachers’ committee is the same, but its attitude has changed. “They've been Mat inflexible.” Under the Public Schools Act, school boards and tea- chers have until Monday to reach an agreement on sal- aries — after which the issue goes automatically to binding arbitration.

Murphy Creek Dam To aid pollution? By CasNews Staff Will the effluent from BC Timber’s Celgar pulp mill create pollution problems if the proposed Murphy Creek dam and reservoir goes ahead? That's the question Castle- gar council is asking — and so far they don't have a firm answer. However, the provincial environment ministry's branch dition where the effluent will not be flushed away. The water manangement branch added that a con- tinuous monitoring program is being carried out. Council was instructed to contact the local environment ministry waste manager in Nelson for more details. Meanwhile, Ald. Len Em- bree said it is important council receive first hand any ion on the issue’ — He said it is that “vague, unsubstantiated claims” were made public P: just a week before the nominating meeting. He said the executive has known about the 90 new memberships since Sept. 16. — the clolsing date for memberships, but they decid ed to raise their concerns five weeks later. “That's politics. That's what it’s all about,” D'Arcy mused. : Meanwhile, a party source said the claim that the riding ive i Lan- water says in a letter to council preliminary indications are that the dam won't have any “detrimental impact on the flushing of effluents from the CanCel pulp mill.” Council is concerned the reservoir will reduce the river flow and create a con- Project Society names executive During the first r Engle and Truly cranked up ‘the first of many tasks on their busy flight plan — opening and closing Colum- bia's huge cargo bay doors. for Selkirk aw Three minutes into the By CasNews Staff. ..

She said there are also rec- reational grants and other provincial grants available. “Because of economic con- ditions today, we have to look at that kind of funding,” she said. , PUSH FOR POOL Walter Tmofievich, rep- resenting the Castlegar Aqu- nauts, continued to push for the indoor pool proposal. He reminded the com- mittee that the Stevenson and Kellog report, prepared in 1979 for Regional Rec- reation Commission No. 1, priorized that the swimming pool is the project to be con- sidred and a must for the community. “The pool project should be considered with other proj- ects,” he stated. “Can we really separate the smaller projects, from the larger projects? “These projects conducted for the benefit of the citizens are clearly the indication for the needs for the people in ‘the community. ** Tymofievich recently con- ducted an intensive survey of 12 indoor pools in B.C. and two in Washington, compar- ing itams such as revenue and expenditures. He said he found a 25-40 per cent deficit in most cases, but in Washington he found pools were running close to a balanced budget.. He also found the pools i in Washington were located close to post-secondary col leges. Stymofievich said today he feels an indoor pool in Castlegar would be close to operating at a balanced bud- t becuase it has a post- secondary college — Selkirk College. The survey was prepared in order tocreate an accurate picture of the operation of in- door pools in B.C. He also said he is familliar with grants provided by the provincial Ministry of Rec- reation and Sport and the Ministry of Education. The meeting saw & consensus for bringing the performing activity centre, a second sheet of ice, and the Winlaw meet deals with bridge issue Winlaw residents — par- ticularly parents of Winlaw elementary school children — are invited to attend a meet- ing at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Winlaw Hall to discuss the closure of the Winlaw Bridge to school buses. A highways ministry rep- resentative has also been in- vited. indoor swimming pool into one complete package. Gordon Porter, a member of the complex committee and the regional, recreation committee, said it would bo cheaper to get everything accomplished at once. “If we all work together we can get one heck of a pile of grants so we will have suffi- cient money,” he said. Tymofevietch suggested the committee sit down and prepare for a spring refer- endum. “I for one will be working to that objective,” he said. Chairman, Martin Vander- pol reminded the committee” that any decision will be made by the city and outlying areas. “It will have to be what is useful and attainable for the community,” he said. Vanderpol admitted he would like to see the three projects as one proposal to complete the complex. Said Larry Bosse: “I think we have to look at what we can afford. We have to go back to the budget and find out how many mills we can expect the taxpayers to swallow.” Ed Chernoff mentioned the’ possiblity of an upcoming provincial election — a time when cash gets handed out.” ALL CANDIDATES FORUM Street talk THINGS APPEAR to be looking up for the Loomis courier service (at lous’ thoy did during the recent mail strike!)

THE CENTRAL Kootenay Regional District's decision to extend the Ootischenia dump operating hours (see story elsewhere in paper) is a welcome relief for many area residents. But if we gauge reaction properly, the problem wasn’t just the operating hours but notification of the new hours as well. The Castlegar News receives a steady stream of calls Saturdays asking about the dump's hours. Here's hoping the regional district now advertises the new hours, instead of letting residents find out for themselves when they're already at the dump with a full (load and locked out. y, Book Week Good response By JUDY WEARMOUTH The Castlegar Library has just celebrated a very suc- cessful Young Canada Book Week. Over 300 school chil- dren visited the library branches and the response to the bookmark competition has been very good. Judging the entries was difficult as the standard was so high. First-place winners in each category will receive a book prize and the winning entry in the black and white graphic category will be printed for use in the library. Thanks to the Brecken- ridge family who organized it, the book sale held in the Plaza on Saturday was also a success. Board members were on hand throughout the sale to answer queries about the proposed new regional library building. Circulation for October to- talled 5,916 and membership figures now stand at 4,099. Several mothers have ex- pressed interest in a Tod- dlers Story Time. The time will be either 10 a.m. on Tuesdays or 10:15 a.m. on Wednesdays in the Kinnaird Branch (to accommodate the parents with children already coming to the Castlegar pre- school story on Wednesdays at 10 a.m.). The ideal would be to run the two concur- rently but this is impossible as space is so limited. The colorful display of paintings on exhibit in the Kinnaird Branch is the work of Dorothy Miller-Tait.
