Nelson
won't buy
mill site

NELSON (CP) — The
city’s plan to buy the aban-
doned Westar Timber mill
site here has been cancelled
because the city has learned
that when all factors are
taken into consideration it
will be too expensive.

City council, which in
November was eager to buy
the prime eight hectare lake-
side property, decided
against the move this week

DAY IS TIME

when it was di clean:
up costs were estimated at
more than the buying price
itself.

Westar Timber sold the
site to Ritchie Bros. Auc-
tioneers, which made the
offer to the city.

Nelson Mayor Louis Mag-
lio said council had under-
stood that any buildings on
the site not sold by the auc-
tioneers would be cleared.

But now the city has been
told that any buildings left

the government treasury fund.

Brisco and his 11-member advisory
committee people decided on the
Canada Works grants, along with
Canada Employment and Immigration
personnel.

Donald said the main criteria for
allocating the funds was merit: how
much work would be created, did the
project have significant value in terms
of community involvement or enthu
siasm or did it create long-term jobs?

Also taken into consideration was
the availability of quality people to
work on the project.

Donald said the committee also tried
to ensure that the grants were divided
evenly across the riding.

The applications were also looked at

in terms of the $663,000 allocated for
the riding.

CANADA WORKS

Donald noted that one application
alone was worth almost $600,000 and
another one requested $250,000 in
funding.

“Obviously there was some difficulty
with those,” he said.

Brisco’s office received 90 appli
cations totalling more than $5 millions

Donald noted that there were many
ap ions from the Slocan-Nakusp
area, and there was also a significant
number of applications from the Nelson
area. He said there were only four or

Estimates of clean-up costs
of $250,000 to $500,000 on
land and the lakeshore, in-
surance costs and security
costs, combined with the
original purchase price,
would have brought the cost
to the city close to the es-
timated land value of $1 mil-

inal $30,000 offer for cleared
land, Maglio said.

Okay. So you made a New Year's resolution to stop
smoking, but a week ago you had that cigarette with a
cup of coffee at work. Then it was two smokes after
dinner at your mother-in-law’s last Thursday.

And on Saturday night, that empty cigarette packet
in yout jacket proved that every beer you drank at
Harry’s Pool Palace was matched by two butts.

Don’t worry, there's hope for you yet. Today is Cold
Terkey Day ii in B.C., which means you can join thousands
in a break with the smoking habit.

Cold Turkey Day, sponsored by the British Columbia
Lung Association, is designed to provide smokers with
the opportunity and encouragement to quit smoking.

But be prepared — quitting may not be as easy as it
sounds. Just ask Dennis Krahn, 31, of Castlegar, who_
hasn't touched a cigarette since he quit Jan. 1.

Krahn — who gave up the habit twice before for two
years at a time — describes the experience as “brutal.”

“Unless you smoke, you have no idea how powerful
nicotine is. Apparently, pound for pound, nicotine is more

As well, Krahn says by quitting smoking, he has
more free time. He's calculated that he used to spend
about eight minutes smoking each of 20 cigarettes a day.

This works out to 160 minutes a day, and, if
multiplied by seven, means Krahn spent 1,120 minutes a
week smoking or about 18'/ hours.

Residents oppose test

By CasNews Staff
and Neors Service

Concerned West Kootenay residents
joined peace activists throughout Can.
ada by registering their opposition to a
cruise missile test over Canadian
Forces Base Cold Lake, Alta. Tuesday.

About 10 anti-cruise phone calls
were received at Kootenay West MP
Bob Brisco’s constituency office in
Castlegar, according {o research assis.
tant John Donald.

Donald said the callers — from
Castlegar, Fruitvale and Nakusp —
wanted Brisco to clarify his stand on
cruise missile testing in Canada. But
the MP had been called to Halifax on a
“personal matter,” and wasn't able to
attend to the calls, Donald said.

“Bob will return (the calls) as soon as
he is able,” said Donald. “He has in the
past expressed reservations, and has in
the past been quoted as saying he's
opposed to (cruise missile testing in
Canada).”

Donald said he believed the calls
came from individuals, as opposed to a
single organized protest group.

“It's a gauge that there is obviously
concern out there,” he added.

A U.S. B-52 bomber with four cruise
missiles lumbered over the Cold Lake
base Tuesday, successfully ending the
second test of the cruise guidance sys

~-tem over Canadian soil, and setting the

stage for a missile launch within weeks.

Outside the base, 35 peace activists
protested the missile’s second dry run
over Canada. Groups in Toronto,
Winnipeg, Fort Simpson, N.W.T., and
Grand Forks, N.D., also voiced oppo
sition to the test.

Although hampered by delays and
poor weather the bomber, accompanied
by a fighter escort, thundered down
from the Beaufort Sea to a target area
near the base, 290 kilometres northeast
of Edmonton. It was guided by the
navigation system of one of the four
missiles nestled under its wings.

AUS. Air Force spokesman said the
successful mission paved the way for
two live launches to take place before
March 31.

“They (test officials) were very
happy with what happened . . . and
they are pressing on to get ready for
the live launches later on this winter,”
said Maj. Dave MacNamee of the U.S.
Stragegie Air Command.

During the live tests, two B-52s will
each launch an unarmed missile down
the 2,500-kilometre test corridor
stretching from the Beaufort Sea,
through the MacKenzie Valley, across
northeast British Columbia and north
ern Alberta to the Primrose Lake Air
Weapons Range.

CONMAC TRAGEDY

Protesters from Edmonton, Calgary,
and parts of Saskatchewan were eyed
by military policemen armed with sub-
machine-guns, but there was no con
frontation between the two groups.

Lt.-Col. Larry Lott, officer in charge
of base security, said the protesters
caused no problems, although their
request to address the base com.
mander was refused.

“They were a peaceful bunch that
didn’t create any disturbance at ali,” he
said. “They were just registering a
protest and that was fine.”

Protest organizer Keith Terdger of
the Lakeland Coalition for Nuclear
Awareness, said he was “a little dis-
appointed we didn't get a bigger
crowd.

“But I'm a realist. I recognize that
the timing just wasn't right for a lot of
people with kids and jobs. But the
demonstration shows that the peace
movement is alive and well.”

A “cruise-catcher” planned by the
Vancouver-based Greenpeace didn't
quite. get off the ground.

Nine helium-filled balloons were not
enough to keep about 200 metres of
fishnet in the air during a test 250
kilometres north of Edmonton.

Greenpeace director George Callies
said the group has every intention of
perfecting the floating net to interfere
with further tests
