& recollections

“

a strang land) down to 13th Ave. there is a great sandy
desert marked “parking lot” on the right and Tobacco
Road on the left. There are also assorted areas of rock
and weeds in between. In fact, I understand, that the city
owns about six acres of non-revenue producing land inthe

the possible exception of Alicia ‘g's beauty
parlor, not too fancy. Still, they matched the quiet rural
aspect of the town. The few roads were unpaved and
dusty but the people who used them knew in a very real
sense the answer to the question “Who is my neighbor?”
and cooperation was high on their list of priorities. The
highway was a torturous, black ribbon connecting
Castlegar to Trail — a supplement to the train.

Then the town began to grow up and it lost its
innocence. The CPR passenger service was discontinued
and the station no longer the centre of focus. Many of the
buildings on both sides of Front Street disappeared — the
CPR buildings, the Castlegar Hotel, the town office, the
Goresky home and garden and other private dwellings,
St. Rita’s, and the community hall. Some were replaced,
some weren't. In fact, I doubt that there are any more
buildings on that block between Columbia Avenue and
the tracks now than there were 40 years ago. There is,
however, an awful lot of non-revenue producing space,
some terrible looking buildings and remains of buldings
and a municipal works yard which does not belong in the
heart of a city.

The shops on the right have no feeling of unity or
cohesion and if one ventures to the back -<.di If on
the other hand, one turns left on 8rd Street and attempts
to park in the alleged parking lot one has an unobstructed
view of Lower Dogpatch. If one ventures (as a stranger in

area — a sad situation for an administration
sorely in need of funds. Yet, this rot at the core need not

time limit, they tend to become self-perpetuating
i ieties in the ibility and

of resp

action. I well remember how the simple but repeated
request for directional signs for Zuckerberg Island
whirled around between three committees for two years
before one person in authority took over and had the job
done in three weeks.

1 am indifferent also to political manoeuverings and

rir

I saw a prop mtown plan
recently which visuali g the centre of the town
into a mall. Personally, I am not a propoent of malls, but
we cannot turn back the clock. This plan visualized
canopying the walks around 3rd Street, Columbia
Avenue and 4th Street and developing the area behind
the shops. .

It also proposed the construction of an adjoining
two-level mall on the city-owned property with entrances
on 13th Street and Columbia Avenue, upgrading city hall
and relocating and centralizing some of the services in the
elipticat property below the Castleaird Plaza. It also
allows for future expansion in nearby areas.

The CP rail station would be moyed across the tracks
within the proxi of the and again
claim its rightful part as an essential part of the city's
past. The parking lot next door would be a real parking
lot. The proposal has merit, it could get government
facade and redevelopment backing, and I think it has
some answers to some very vexing problems. I hope the

_Plap, will be. Precgpted coor jn the proper quarters and
‘committees and ‘studied with some sense of urgency,
though I don’t have toom much faith in many committees.

Brilliant passed away March
11 at the age of 88.

Born Oct. 10, 1903 in Veri-
gin, Sask., he moved with his
parents. to Brilliant in the
early 1900s and lived there
all of his life.

He started working as an
errand boy for Peter “Lord-
ly” Verigin and later worked
in the head office of the

Hf ” which can destroy peoples
towns and nations. I am concerned, however, about the
place in which I have lived a brief 40 years and I see an
urgent necessity for hard planning and co-operation if th
eoriginal sense of oneness and attractiveness as a town is
to be recaptured.

One of the fables of Aesop the slave tells of a father
who had several sons. These young men spent 80 much
time bickering and quarreling among themselves that
their once prosperous family farm was in serious decline.
The father called his sons to him, gave each of them in
turn a bundle of sticks which he had tied together with a
cord, and invited them to break the sticks. All tried and
declared the task impossible. The father then took the
bundle, removed the cord and’ broke each of the sticks
separately. A small lesson on unity of purpose.

Something else beside our sense of beauty that we
can lose if we don't look with newly-opened eyes at things
about us every hour. Besides, as editor Ron Norman
wrote in a recent editorial, other communities had
already revitalized their downtowns. If we are to remain
competitive, we must do the same.

P.S. Congratulations to Alex Lutz, 1986 Citizen of
the Year and a real city booster.
