c8 CASTLEGAR NEWS, May 21, 1980 /Erma Bombeck Tread an interesting study the other morning that stated more and more fathers are experiencing the “empty nest” syndrome, “We are living in a time of house husbands, father images, and husbands who share the burden of child raising,” the survey said. “It's not uncommon for fathers to be depressed, and feel empty and restless when their children leave home.” “That,” 1 said, putting down the paper, “is a bunch of horsefeathers.” “Idon't think it's ‘horsefeathers at all,” said my husband. “What you're saying is that I don't share the same love and ‘concern for our children that you do. Why, I miss all four of them." “We only had three,” I amended. “Are you sure? No matter. There isn't a day goes by that I don't think back on the good times we had as a family. Remember that wonderful summer we camped on the Altantie Ocean and dug for clams? We all sat around the campfire and ate them like popcorn.” “It wasn't the Atlantic Ocean. It was Lake Larvae, and it WAS popcorn because you couldn't find where the clams hid." “Whatever. I really miss those kids, There were a lot of fun times and lot of trying times. I miss those too. Remember when our second-born came to me and said, ‘Dad, will you teach me how to drive?’ '" “T'll never forget it. You sent him to the Kamikaze Driving School and it set us back $175." “Gosh, those were good times — the broken legs — the broken skulls — the million and one emergenics that arc parenthood.” “You never showed up for an emergency in your life!” “But I called! Didn't I call?” “Look, I know you love your children, but somehow men just don't get as involved in the lives of their children as mothers do.” He stood up stiffly. “I'm going to tell you something I've never told you before. I don't know why. Maybe I'm so macho I didn't want you to think I was weak or soft, but when my little gir] walked out that door and said, ‘Bye, Dad,’ something in me died. I remembered the little ponytail and how we were always looking for rubber bands on doorknobs, little dolls crunching underfoot, grape bubblegum kisses and that wonderful feeling when she threw her arms around my neck and said, ‘I love you, Daddy,’ You never knew the pain when she left. If you did you never showed it." wontatty meres Michelle Triola Marvin a ‘survivor,’ rebuilds life after ‘palimony ’ suit On Oct. 17 of last year, the Mid-Week Mirror carried the first installment of an ex- clusive two-part feature in which the lawyer who argued Michelle Triloa Marvin's “palimony” case against actor Lee Marvin described prep- arations for what was to be . one of the most sensational and unique cases of the 1979s. . Now, one year after her landmark court battle, Mich- elle Marvin says she has found a new life as author, lecturer on women's rights and — most importantly — “survivor.” “I'm not over it by any means," she said of last year’s “palimony” trial which involved her in lurid testi- mony. “But one of the things Lee loved about me is I'm a very positive person. I have a reasonably calm centre. “It didn't take me long to recover because I’m a sur- vivor.” Whispering, she repeat- ed, “I'm a survivor.” But scars remain, she said. “About a month after the trial, I was brushing my hair and realized my hair had turned gray around the hair- line. That really told me something. I turned grey from that trial.” Marvin now lives in a small, cozy apartment with a pet poodle.

Government E S Reorganizing plan job action target “for the time being” have not affected production. But he agreed if the disruption of the supply “continues for any length of time” there is a chance the mill will fee] the impact. Al Lowndes, the BOGEU's West Kootenay staff Union, had all but cut off the movement of logs to the sawmill here. y the pick could end soon but “we will be reassessing our position over the weekend.” Lowndes told the Castlegar News the job action started Woods manager Dick Roberts told the Cast! News BCGEU members who walked off the job et government weigh scales used to determine stumpage fees for timber cut at CanCel's Nakusp operation had halted trucking and dumping of newly-cut logs into the Upper Arrow Lake for transport south to the Castlegar. Roberts said the truckers and dump men laid off as a result of the hauling shutdown represent “quite a few guys unemployed right now.” “We do have resorting areas where the wood has already come over the scale and stumpage has been paid on them, so what we're doing right now is just trying to alleviate problems by dumping that wood,” he said. “Those are the ones we're moving right now but that's only a few guys we can do that with. Any fresh wood coming out of the bush has ceased right now.” Roberts sauteed, the log transport shutdown will affect the 's Ci saw! “if it carries on for : very long”. He said the BCGEU job action was expected to end shortly “but it’s hard to say what is going to happen down the road.” d at the 's Ci sawmill Friday, industrial relations officer Al Blessin said the BCGEU pickets at 7:30 am. T “Tt was very spontaneous,” he said. “But our people are just a little annoyed at the attitude of the government.” Although the work stoppage was in response to GERB allegedly reneging on a number of assurances related to introduction of the forest service reorganization plan last year, BCGEU members’ main objection is the failure to remedy caused to by ion, he said. “There are some employees who have recently won competitions in an area and have bought homes up there and now they are told they must move from that location," he said. “It's very difficult to sell the home, they're subject to a high interest rate and ell that and it’s going to cost our people money.” The BCGEU argues if an employee is required to relocate due to reorganization and is unable to sell his residence after six months at the prevailing market rate “then the employer should buy that home,” Lowndes said. “Also we have the problem of many people without job offers,” he continued. “Some of them have many years of service and we're saying to the employer it must provide More on page A2 BS GOVERRGAL A: 1 EARL OV EES Ga ON STRIKE.

That was planning director Floyd Dykeman's explanation — following presen- tation of a brief favoring the Syringa Creek- Fauquier to Premier Bill Bennett Friday — of the recommendation that the Passmore- Fauquier link be included in the regional district's Lower Arrow Lake plan. Dykeman said the plan- ning department excluded the Syringa Creek-Fauquier link from the Lower Arrow Lake plan draft mainly be- cause the B.C. cabinet’s en- * vironment and land use com- mittee ruled out the route on the basis of its cost and its threat to area wildlife re- serves, “One of the decisions that were made by the ELUC Park,” the planning director said. “If that’s a decision which has already been made by the provincial government ‘cabinet committee then it appears to us that is already eliminated as an option. “And the Passmore Val- ley connection appears to be the option which they might pursue if in fact they are going to develop a connection Passmore-Fauquier route in “The difference i is 8 ot a the plan and recommended mile,” its inclusion because of its we're not‘: Provincial, viewed as “one ard the Sight " distant.” er sectors of the economy for “[ think the Passmore expansion.” connection has higher eleva- “If in fact we're looking tion,” the planning director at developing the tourist . said. “However, we've been economy of the area then told by the highways people that particular route offers that the avalanche hazard is access to the Arrow Lakes not as great, say, as it is on tourist region, the Slocan the Creston summit.

Report on Hydro subdivision A report by the B.C. cabinet’s environ- ment and land use committee on B.C. Hydro’s Arrow Lakes subdivision plan is a likely discussion topic for Central Kootenay directors’ next meeting. RDCK planning director Floyd Dykeman ‘said he ac- companied ELUC secretariat, Kootenay Resource Manage- ment Committee, and Hydro staff last week in an on-site ‘inspection of the lakefront property earmarked for sale to former area residents. “He declined to comment on the inspection but said ELUC's report on the sub- division is expected to be on the agenda June 7. “We would hope the board would then give it consideration and decide what its position might be” Dykeman said. The RDCK directors de- cided last month to reserve judgement on the Hydro sub- division plan pending the planning director's inspection despite their criticism of pro- posals arising from the ELUC decision in February to allow Searching for School District No. 9 secret of success According to the three members of the education ministry- appointed research team studying School District No. 9. whether instruction in the Castlegar area is successful is not the vestion, they told the Castle- gar News ‘his week, is why it is successful.

The subdivision proposal has been fought for the last four to five years by the RDCK, the fish and wildlife branch, and the government- appointed KRRMC. ELUC's technical com- mittee also recommended against the subdivision but were overruled by ELUC's full committee, according to ELUC assistant director Jon O'Riordan.
