Cady says Castlegar too late

By ADRIAN CHAMBERLAIN
Staff Writer

The City of Castlegar’s $16,000 bid to get a vote in
Regional District of Central Kootenay planning function was
turned down Saturday because it was too late, says the
RDCK board chairman.

George Cady said Tuesday Castlegar Mayor Audrey
Moore handed the board a letter proposing a contribution
from the city for limited participation in regional planning
only about 10 minutes before the regional district meeting
on its 1985 budget began Saturday.

Cady said the board's policy states that items must be
on the agenda at least a week before a meeting.

Castlegar now has no vote in regional planning. The city

opted out of full regional planning and land use last October

because it cost $48,000 in taxes, and was considered too

expensive, says Moore. The $16,000 donation was to give
Castlegar a voice in any regional district planning that
directly affects the city.

While Moore confirmed that Castlegar’s proposal was

made minutes before the meeting began, she dismisses

WEATHER

Cady’s insistence that the item couldn't have been included
on the agenda.

“It was a budget item, and we were dealing with the
budget,” she said.

Cady said Castlegar had sufficient opportunity to bring
up its proposal at.a meeting on the provisional 1985 budget
in December, or at a March 9 meeting on the budget, but
failed to do so.

He said Moore's presentation of her proposal “might
have been a reasonable approach” but “the regional planning
committee had no opportunity to look at it, study and
think about it.”

“To give it to me 10 minutes before the meeting was
unfair,” said Cady,

The proposal could have been considered at the board’s
next meeting but Moore said at the meeting Saturday that
“it’s a one-shot deal, take it or leave it, or else (Castlegar
city) council won't consider it,” according to Cady.

But Moore says the regional district has been aware of
the city's interest in participating in regional planning on a

VANCOUVER (CP) — Pic-
ket lines appeared outside 12
British Columbia nursing
homes, including Kiro Manor
in Trail, late Tuesday night
as the Hospital Employees
Union sharply stepped up its
hit-and-run strike action.

The strike puts 500 health
care workers on the street
and affects almost 1,200
senior citizens.

Union business manager
Jack Gerow said Tuesday
night, however, that the
walkout probably would not
last more than 24 hours.

The union's strategy so far
has been to hit facilities with
a picket line and then go back
to work after inconvenienc-

to it that the residents re
ceive all the care they
require,” Gerow said.

The next step in the cam
paign will be to permanently
strike some institutions, Ger
ow said. That could begin as
early as Thursday.

Essential service plans
worked out with the union at
a meeting with the Labor
Relations Board call for the
use of volunteers during the
walkouts.

Main issue for the union is
to get the same wages as
health care workers at acute
care facilities and some other
long-term care homes.

take out pizza into the wee hours of the morning. A new
pizza place called Anthony's Pizza and Steakhouse plans
to open around the middle of this month in the old City
Centre Motel.

The new pizza place plans to stay open until 4 a.m.
and will offer free delivery for pizzas to any home within
four miles of the business.

The new place will specialize in Italian food and will
be managed by Beverly Flahr.

UNDER THE ‘You can't blame ‘em for trying’
category is Nakusp's efforts to boost the local economy.
The local residents recently held think tank session and
one of the ideas which came out gf it was to change the
town’s name to Nakusp Hot Ss gs, hopefully making
the nearby hot springs a tourist draw. It's a great
idea!

AT THE SAME time, the Village of Nakusp adver-
tised the sale or lease of Nakusp Hot Springs, which is
owned by the village. However, it rejected the three
proposals it has received ‘so far.

Mayor Stan Fellows says one of the proposals was
for a lease agreement and two were to purchase the hot
springs.

However, none of them included the required 10 per
cent bid bond of $75,000 and so were rejected.

Still, Fellows left the door open for future proposals
by noting that proposals will be considered if they match
the general terms spelled out in the village's advertise-
ment.

Fellows added that the village decided to offer the
springs for lease or sale to a private investor because
the facility needs an infusion of funds for repairs and
upgrading.

The one-page typed sheet is simply headed
“Wisconsin Report” with the date Oct. 18, 1984. There is
no name attached to it.

PROCTER AND GAM-
BLE is having trouble
again with rumors that the

company is connected to
satanism. The latest ru
mors hit Castlegar last

week when a printed sheet
was distributed claiming
that Procter and Gamble's
president appeared on the
Phil Donahue TV talk show
and said a large portion of
the company’s profits go to
the “Devil's Church.”

The sheet goes on to say that the president of
Procter and Gamble (who is never named on the sheet)
was allegedly asked by Donahue why he would announce
on national television that his company was linked to
satanism when it could hurt his company’s business.

The president is quoted as allegedly saying there
aren't enough Christians in the U.S. to make any
difference anyway.

The sheet goes on to say that the Procter and
Gamble (the name is incorrectly spelled Proctor on the

sheet) ident was ted by the pi of the
Chureh of Satan and told that if he was going to support
the church he would have to use the symbol of the church
on all Procter and Gamble products. And since that TV
appearance the symbol has appeared on all the products,
says the sheet.

The sheet also claims the “owner” of Procter and
Gamble appeared on the Merv Griffin TV talk show and
gave Satan credit for his riches.

The sheet asks whoever has it to photocopy it and
pass it along to others and it lists Procter and Gamble
products which shouldn't be purchased.

“All the products listed below have a satanic symbol
or insignia on them. It is a tiny quarter-moon shape with
ram's horns and the number 666 and 13 stars, all enclosed
in a tiny circle,” says the sheet.

Procter and Gamble has issued a press package to
newspapers across the country — including the Castlegar
News, asking for help in stopping the spread of “a false
and mallicious rumor about Procter and Gamble and its
‘Moons and Stars’ trademark.”

“I can assure you that neither the president nor any
other executive of P and G has ever appeared on any talk
show to discuss satanism,” B.J. Pipes, manager of
External Affairs for Procter and Gamble, says in a letter.

“Further, our ‘Moons and Stars’ trademark is more
than 100 years old and represents only P and G.”

He says telephone calls about the rumors reached a
peak in the summer of 1982 when Procter and Gamble
received 15,000 calls in one month. At that time the
producers of various network talk shows provided
written statements stating that no P and G executive has
appeared on their shows for any pur;

“At the same time some eminent religious leaders in
the U.S., disturbed by the spread of these malicious
rumors also volunteered statements on Procter and
Gamble's behalf,” says Pipes.

They included Billy Graham and Moral Majority
leader Jerry Falwell among others.

Procter and Gamble also received letters from the
Donahue and Griffin shows saying no Procter and Gamble
executive ever appeared on the shows.

“In fact, we have never done a program about
satanism,” said the producer of the Donahue show.

Procter and Gamble says the 13 stars represent the
original colonies and the man-in-the-moon was a popular
figure in the 1800s, much like the happy face is today.

The company has filed suits against a number of
individuals connected with spreading the rumors.

ON A HAPPIER note, a familiar face is back in
Slocan City.

Vera who used to be clerk there,
has returned to operate Vera's Place, a restaurant
adjacent to the Slocan Motel. Vera has owned the motel
for several years while living at Silverton.

The restaurant is the old “Greenlight,” owned and
operated for 25 years by Jerry and Elsie Aaltman, who,
for the final 10 years, also operated the post office from
that location.

For the past 10 years, the restaurant has been two
large suites, as part of the motel.
