up an antenna to receive this new
service.

Behind your TV are two sets of
screw terminals marked VHF and
UHF. The VHF terminals provide a
signal to the TV for channels 2 to 13.
They currently have wires connected
to them for receiving the existing
channels in the area. The UHF ter-
minals now require an antenna con-
nected to them too. Perhaps you
remember when you purchased your
TV that a small ‘‘hoop’’ about eight
inches in diameter was provided. If
you hooked it up to the VHF
terminals of the set, you didn’t get
much of a picture. Now is the time
to try it out by connecting it to the
UHF terminals.

If you live within half a kilometre
of where the transmitter is located,
you may get an adequate signal by
adjusting the position of this hoop. If
not, an outdoor antenna will be
required. Consult your local TV re-
pairman for his advice on what an-
tenna would work best at your
location. If you are hidden from
direct line-of-sight to the transmit-
ter, you may need a mast or small
tower to get your UHF antenna high
enough to “see” the transmitter.

The Robson-Raspberry Ferry Users
Ad Hoc Committee will continue to
lobby the provincial government for
the return of the Robson-Castlegar
ferry or the construction of a bridge
between the communities after
receiving what committee member
George Stein called a ‘‘mandate’’ to
continue the work at a meeting Sun-
day in the Robson community hall

“We will take that to be a mandate
from the people of Robson to con-
tinug the fight,” Stein said after a
majority of the 25 Robson residents,
assembled to hear the committee give
an update on its activities, raised their
hands when asked by Stein if the
committee had their support.

Stein told the meeting that in ad-
dition to the committee's ongoing a
tivities such as a letter-writing cam-
paign, the committee has asked the
provincial ombudsman to review the
case and he has promised to do so.

One of the aspects of the issue the
ombudsman will explore is whether
the government breached its promise
to the committee after the committee,
responding to an offer from Premier
Bill Vander Zalm, sent Victoria $1 to
buy the ferry and then the gover-
nment ‘‘didn’t consider the offer,"
Stein said.

Committee lawyer Terry Dalton
said the case the committee plans to
take to the B.C. Court of Appeal will
be timed for the greater effect
politically and will hopefully be heard
close to the next general election.

Dalton said the Law Foundation,
which provides money for advocacy
work through interest on funds held
in trust for lawyers’ clients, has been
and will continue to pay for all expen-
ses such as postage and phone calls
incurred while the appeal is being
prepared. Foundation officials have
indicated they will be willing to con-
tinue the funding if the committee
takes the case to the Supreme Court
of Canada, Dalton added.

Dalton does not accept payment for
his work on behalf of the ferry com-
mittee.

By CasNews Staff

The Roman Catholic Diocese of
Nelson has a new chief shepherd

Rev. Peter Joseph Mallon was
installed at an impressive public
mass yesterday evening in Nelson
Civic Centre arena

But the new bishop was quickly
cautioned to be ‘‘Bishop Peter
from Nelson; not the bishop of
Nelson.”’

Welcoming the new bishop to
the diocese on behalf of the laity
of the widespread diocese, which
extends from the Okanagan to the
Alberta border, Tom McEwan of
Warfield pledged ‘‘loyalty to you
and to the church,"’ and said all
who have met the former Van-
couver archdiocese monsignor
‘tare cheered by your warm,
friendly manner.””

In his address to the crowd of
of over 1,000 people, Mallon
commented that in recent years
there ‘thas been a certain crisis of
faith, a crisis of spirituality,” but
he noted that Pope John Paul II,
in the 12 years of his pontificate,
“has given us a good idea of the
spirituality he wishes us to
follow.""

“Spirituality must have Christ
at the centre,’’ Mallon said. He
said Pope John Paul has un-
derlined the belief that
“spirituality must be biblical,
spirituality must be liturgical
spirituality must be truly human "

There have been only three
bishops in the Diocese of Nelson
prior to Mallon.

The Most Rev. Martin M
Johnson, ‘‘the building bishop,””
served from July 18, 1936 to May.
7, 1955 when he was succeeded by
Bishop Thomas J. McCarthy who
served just three years before
being followed by the Most Rev
W. Emmett Doyle who was ap-
pointed on Oct. 9, 1958

New bishop
welcomed at mass

a priest in the diocese serving un-
der Mallon, urged those in atten-
dance ‘‘to work with him (Mallon)
and serve with him in love."’

Noting liturgical’ —writers
estimate there were 100 people at
The Last Supper, besides the 12
apostles, Doyle said that final
gathering included laymen and
women just as Tuesday's in-
stallation mass did

And just as those people were
Christ’s ‘‘band of followers,”’ so
the laity, priests and religious of
the Nelson Diocese must follow
Mallon’s leadership as he goes
forth “‘to bear fruit; fruit that will
last.’’

“1 welcome you as a brother
bishop, as the shepherd of the
diocese, and as my own personal
bishop,”’ Doyle concluded.

Sister Nancy Hurren, president
of the Sisters Council, offered a
“warm welcome to our many-
faceted diocese."’ Referring to the
plywood floor that had been laid
on the ice-surface in the arena, she
drew laughter from the
congregation when she said the
hearts of those in attendance ‘‘are
warmer than our bodies.”’

general, represented the clergy in
welcoming the new bishop ‘‘as our
chief shepherd, and as our brother
in our priesthood.”’

Before paying tribute to his
predecessor, Mallon said he was
“‘overwhelmed’’ when he received
the word of his appointment, but
he took courage from scripture:
“Christ said he would always be
with them. ‘Trust in God, and
trust in Me." "”

The new bishop said Doyle had
brought ‘‘vision’’ to his 31 years
of service. Very early on he set
about acquiring sites for churches
and schools and he gave priority
to apostolic endeavors. He was
one of the first to become respon-
sive to the needs of the Third
World and gave encouragement
to the involvement of the laity in
church life.

Mallon said the diocese wishes
Doyle good health and a long life,
and does so with ‘‘a joyful spirit
of gratitude.””

The public mass was followed
by a banquet at Mary Hall at
Canadian International College.
It was “attended by some 500
people representing parishes from
throughout the diocese.

his family to Vancouver and
began Grade 8 classes at Sacred

Mallon entered the seminary of
Christ in Mission at the beginning

tinued his studies there under the
Benedictine Fathers until Arch:
bishop Duke ordained him to the

The reports, by Envirochem Ser-

completed at the end of January.

“The consultant firms of Novatec

there are problem areas in the impact

Among the findings in the two

proceed and the mill met government
pollufon guidelines by 1996.
However, the discharges after expan-
sion — with the exception of suspen-
ded solids — will be less than the
existing mill.

The Envirochem report also says
the proper operation of the new
equipment Celgar proposes to install
at the mill will be a key to meeting the
government-imposed pollution
regulations.

“It is vital that the equipment
operate as designed,’’ Douglas
Whiticar, Envirochem’s senior e¢n-

report. ‘‘The attitude of the company.

for dual-entry

By CasNews Staff

The second batch of kindergarten-
age children entering Castlegar
schools Jan. 1, I991, under the
provincial government's new dual-
entry system could cause a scrambie
for nap space in some schools.

“Depending on the numbers, all of
a sudden you may be looking at a
facility problem,"’ superintendent of
schools Terry Wayling said Tuesday.
“There could be one — the Kinnaird-
Valley Vista attendance area. The
numbers there concern us and we're
not quite sure how we're going to ad.
dress that yet. So we’re looking at the
implications of that second intake in
that attendance area."*

But Wayling said district principals
and teachers are more concerned with
the practical aspect of what to do with
the brand new students who enter the
kindergarten classes next January

“All of a sudden five or six (new
students) walk through the door who

stand what was going on,"’ Healing
said Tuesday

Healing pointed out that the group
is in favor of the proposed expansion

“"We think that for Castlegar the
new pulp mill is just wonderful and
certainly it’s going to improve a num
ber of things,”’ he said. “‘However, it
will not improve some things that the
pulp mill says it is going to improve
and other things are going to be much
worse.”

Among the concerns of the group
outlined in a press release:

© The haze in Castlegar

“The most disappointing aspect of
the proposed expansion 15 the
relatively small decrease (13 per cent)

in the fine particles which will be
discharged into the air by the stacks in
the new mill,"’ the group says. ‘‘Given
the large increase in sulphur dioxide,
the tripling of the water vapor and the
doubling of nitrogen oxides, we ex-
pect the pulp mill haze which frequen
tly sits over Castlegar to remain.’”

regulations.

The new pulp mill will meet Level A
standards imposed by the provincial
government in 1977, the group notes,

“The provincial government could
increase standards which would mean
the mill might not then meet the new
standards,”’ it says.

© Liquid waste treatment ponds.

“We are most pleased that the new
mill will reduce by 85 per cent the
foul-smelling sulphide being put into
the atmosphere,"’ the group says.
However, it notes that the mill will
have a secondary waste treatment
pond at the mill site which will ac
count for_a large percentage of the
remaining sulphur emissions at
ground level

“Depending on the weather con
ditions and the air currents, the
familiar odor could be present in the
area around the mill, Robson and the
city of Castlegar," the group says
“This will be in addition to the fog
which the mill has acknowledged wilt

be a regular feature of the landscape
near the ponds.”’ .

The use of secondary treatment for
the liquid wastes is a major im
provement and will greatly reduce the
toxicity of the material discharged in
to the river, the group says. However,
the amount of waste put into the river
will increase to 12,000 kilograms a
day — approximately 4.4 million
kilograms a year — from the current
level of 4,600 kilograms a day

The group notes that breakdown of
waste material pumped into the
treatment ponds will be achieved by
putting bacteria into the ponds.
