She said Castlegar will suffer adversely if any more heard Monday from several diffe groups and opposed to three pesticide spraying permits issued to CP Rail for its tracks in the West Kootenay. Among those who made a submission was Castlegar Mayor Audrey Moore, who said there are enough chemicals in the atmosphere in Castlegar already without spraying pesticides along rail tracks. “The City of Castlegar does not spray its parks, I do not spray my own fruit trees in my garden. My concern is that in the City of Castlegar . . . there are high enough levels of chemicals in the ground and in the water,” Moore told the appeal board.

She suggested cp Rail remove the weeds along the rail lines by hand. “I would like to see some brushing done on the CP Rail right-of-way,” said Moore. When asked by CP Rail lawyer Norman Mullens if anyone has moved from Castlegar due to air pollution and the presence of chemicals, Moore replied: “Certainly people have moved away and people are suffering.” Monday’s hearing, which continued Tuesday, was held to hear appeals against three pesticide spraying permits -‘ready issued to CP Rail. The permits allow CP Rail to spray the herbicide Spike 80W along Castlegar to Trail and a section of the More than 100 people turned out for the hearing Monday at the Nelson Red and Gun Club. Before the hearing began, a rally was held at the government building in Nelson where protestors sang songs and made speeches against pesticide spraying. Dennis McDonald, regional director of the Environment Ministry in Nelson, was presented with a petition at the rally which protestors claim contained 2,000 signatures opposed to CP Rail's spraying program. McDonald told- the crowd the system that allows pesticide spraying permits to be issued first and then has an appeal board determine if those permits should be cancelled, is “screwed up.” “There's no question . . . in this case we've seen a process of application that is totally screwed up. One of the things that is coming up is a complete evaluation of how we do grant permits,” McDonald said. continued on poge A2 ACCOUNTANTS Siddon-Creston-Yahk line. 615 Columbia Ave. (Upstairs) for your pacemaker.” Pulpit & Pew THE COLANDER By Pastor CLIFF DRIEBERG Seventh-Day Adventist Church DIVINE RECONNAISSANCE In arty organization one of the important operations of preparing to advance on the enemy, is reconnaissance. It is the very special task of these reconnaissance units to- gather all possible informa- tion about the enemy, its strategy and its territory. Well trained men, and women too, infiltrate where possible and often not, under various guises, and with tact and skill, eyes and ears open wide to scan, to glean, to col- lect and compile necessary information in order to facil- itate the planned operation. We could well call this “the advance eye.” A certain such unit, several years ago, had as their motto, these words — “We let you know, before you go.” What would it be like, if in the daily “skirmish” of life, we, too, were provided with an advance eye. How happy we'd be to know, before we o! Particularly those, who have in times past experi- enced some bitter blows, would sincerely wish to know what problems lie ahead, so they could brace themselves for the fray. Somehow it helps to know that someone else was there ahead of us. Well, the truth is that there is that provision al- ready made. Going back to the time of the children of Israel, as they were advanc- ing to an unknown land, the record of Holy Writ declares that “the eyes of .. . God” were upon the land they were to go and possess. (Deut. 11:11,12) The divine eye of reconnaissance was before them. What a comfort this can be Castlegar Phone 365-7745 Henry John, B.Sc.C.A.

Terry firefighters (right) duel firemen from Nelson with fire hoses during beer barrel competition at the Robson Volunteer Fire Departme: DOUKHOBOR FILM BACK ON TRACK By SURJ RATTAN Staff Writer Plans for a $4.5 million motion picture dealing with the history of Doukhobors to be filmed in Castlegar and Grand Forks are back on track after it looked like the production would have to be scrapped Speaking from Los Angeles, the film's producer and writer John Stark said he expects a film crew to be in the West Kootenay in a few months to begin scouting locations. The original production was to be called The Spirit Wrestlers but was shelved after the film's director Emir Kusturica abandoned the project and left for Yugoslavia. Shortly after that, the film's co-producer Harry Saltzman also pulled out leaving Stark and the production in financial straits. But the film now has been revived after Telefilm Canada, the federal agency responsible for promoting Canadian productions, decided to grant Stark money for the production. “The latest development is that the federal government through Telefilm Canada has just awarded monies for the development of the motion picture. We have also signed an agreement with First Choice who have given funding for the project,” said Stark He added that a total of $20,000 has been received through government and cable TV sources and that Vancouver-based television station BCTV has made a commitment to assist in production work on the film. In addition, Stark said Canadian Ted Kotcheff has been hired as the film's new director. Some of Kotcheff's other productions have included the original Rambo film, First Blood, and two film versions of novels by Mordecai Richler: The Apprentice. ship of Duddy Kravitz and, more recently, Joshua Then and Now “The next step is to discuss’U.S.-Canada distribu tion. Once we have the distribution we will be able to finance the rest of the production,” said Stark. He added that he hopes to start filming “in a couple of months” in the Castlegar and Grand Forks areas. JOHN STARK film's writer Mts Stark, a native of Rossland, was in Castlegar last weekend for the unveiling of the life-size statue of Russian author and humanitarian Leo Tolstoy at the Doukhobor Museum. Es Although the original film was to be called The Spirit Wrestlers, Stark has re-written the script and re-named _ it The Dispossessed. While he hopes to use as many local people as possible in the film, Stark says that no parts have yet been cast, although some prominant actors and actresses have expressed interest in the film. “We have approached several people. Both Martin Sheen and his son Charlie have expressed interest and have been sent scripts. There are a number of others like Karl Malden, Lorne Green, Carol Laure who have expressed interest,” said Stark. He added that while the film will be about the history of the Doukh: 's in Canada, he d that it . ah Li t's annual firemen’s competitions Sunday at Pass Creek Park.

Ald. Terry Rogers, chairman of the parks and recreation committee, Cancer death rate lower here By RON NORMAN Editor The rate of deaths due to cancer is lower than normal in Castlegar, according to a recently completed study by the Cancer Control Agency of B.C. The study shows that overall, men in Castlegar fall victim to cancer at a rate 11 per cent lower than the provincial average, says John Spinelli, a re- searcher with the Cancer Control Agency. He said the rate for female cancer deaths in Castlegar is one per cent less than normal for B.C. The Lower Mainland had the highest overall cancer death rate. Vancouver, Richmond and New Westminster were all “significantly Higher” for males, Spinelli said. The study attempts to determine the rates of cancer deaths in B.C.’s 75 school districts between 1956 and 1983 using death certificates. Spinelli said cancer deaths were categorized into 46 different types of cancer. He suggested that because there are 46 comparisons for each school district, it is impossible to look at the results in isolation. “You're bound to have one high or one low” cancer rate in each school district, he said. Instead, researchers looked for clus: ters of areas which showed high or low rates of cancer deaths. For instance, the study turned up two areas showing high rates of stom ach cancer: one in the Terrace-Prince inside OLYMPIC HOPEFUL: Castlegar swimmer Wendy Pilla entered the Conadi 1 swim said the $40,000 price tag is in a report from the Castlegar Heritage Advisory Committee. The cost includes moving the station, providing a new foundation, reser. vieing the building and relocating telephone lines. The report indicates that CP Rail would like the station moved by mid September so it can get started on a new station. Castlegar council declared the sta tion a heritage building last year Rogers said, “There is a little bit of concern” about the projected moving cost. He pointed out that council's budget for the year has already been set and there isn’t $40,000 set aside for the move. In addition, he said there are no grants that can help offset the cost of the move. Council agreed to ask engineering services manager Kevin Lagan to investigate the situation. will not be a documentary. “The film is about the oppression of a minority culture and what happens to that culture when antagonisms and split factions affect it. We're not making a documentary. There's a certain amount of fictionalism that will take place to make it interesting. Wherever possible we're going to try to make it as factual as we can,” said Stark. , Rogers says there are a number of questions about the station that need to be answered. He said council wants to know the intended use for the building. He also suggested council wants to know how much money the building will cost the city down the road. But John Charters, chairman of the pope Az championships lost week in 76th spot but emerged in 36th place. Her strong showing won her o berth at the Olympic trials next year... Bl Rupert region, and the other in the Castlegar-Grand Forks area. Stomach cancer for men exceeded the normal rates by 54 per cent in Castlegar, 69 per cent in Prince Rupert and 13 per cent in Vancouver. For females, stomach cancer deaths exceeded normal rates by 83 per cent in Castlegar and Grand Forks, 137 per cent in Terrace, 101 per cent in Prince Rupert and 10 per cent in Vancouver. The norma! number of stomach can- cer deaths in B.C. per 100,000 people is 9.6 for men and 69 for women. But Spinelli said there is no way of telling what the cause of the high rates are. It is the job of investigators to de termine the cause of the rates, he said. However, he said stomach cancer is not related to airborne pollution. It is governed more by diet, which Spinelli called one of the “main risk factors.” Salted, pickled and smoked foods are linked to stomach cancer he said. As well, nitrates have been related to stomach cancer. He said the nitrates could be ingested either through food or the domestic water supply. He said the stomach cancer death rate is declining overall in North America, possibly because of better food preservation techniques. The study does not include cancer death rates according to ethnic group. ing, an omission Spinelli calls “a real failing.” However, he said the infor- mation was not available on all death certificates in the study. continued on poge A2 LEGAL EAGLE: A Trail lawyer has been slected president of the B.C branch of the Canadian Bar Association PLAYOFF BOUND: The Castlegar Bronco All-Star baseball team is off 10 Kelowna Thursday for the B.C. championships . . .
