Double standard

The Central Kootenay regional
district has. a double standard
when it comes to development
proposals for Ootischenia and it
became glaringly obvious last
weekend-

Last Saturday the regional board
agreed to proceed with a rezoning
application trom the Kootenay
Columbia Cooperative Society.

The society owns five acres next
to the Ministry of Highways weigh
scales on Highway 3 and wants to
rezone the land to build a co-op
store.

The store will sell farm equip-
ment, teed, seed, fertilizers,
pesticides, hardware, electrical
appliances, groceries, gasoline
and building materials.

Its a good idea and if the
residents of Ootischenia agree ata
public hearing, the store will
probably go ahead.

But a second development — a
waterslide and recreation park —
next to the proposed co-op store
has received a rougher ride from
the regional district.

____The regional planning depar-
tment “is recommending
rezoning application for the water-
slide proposal because of a water

“the ——

shortage in Ootischenia. and the
waterslide’s “incompatibility”: with
the agricultural character of the
area.

Though the regional board had
delayed any decision on the

‘proposal until the next planning

committee meeting, the devel-
opers will have to do some -fast
footwork if they hope to get their
waterslide.

The claim that the waterslide is
out of character with Ootischenia
may or may not be true. But that
should be left up to Ootischenia
residents to decide. They would
have their say at a public hearing.

The concern over the water sup-
ply again may or may not be valid,
but surely if it-is a problem there
are alternatives to that could be
implemented. Why couldn't the
developers get their water from
the river?

In any case, it’s hard to see how

The obvious solution isn't tor the

That kind of action would help
both consumers and taxpayers.

But the $6.8 million wine bailout

Editor, Castlegar News:

While I do not wish to begin a war of
words in your newspaper, there were a
few facts in Mrs. Schwartzenhauer’s
letter (Sept. 29 Castlegar News) that I
felt needed either. correcting or clarify-
ing. :

1. The first museum was indeed
begun in the Basement of the library.

In 1975, it was moved to the NEC .
building. Since then, the NEC has.

cared for these artifacts to the best of
it's ability, with inadequate financial

resources,.as well as limited physical

space.

2. The staff atthe NEC has referred
to the buildin, ‘terior at times as “a
public works. building” and/or “a
sewage disposal. unit". However,

“water tank” is'as good a description
as any. The planning study referred-to

: 5. Being relatively new to Castlegar,
I admit being somewhat unaware of a
competition between north and south
Castlegar, and I certainly don't feel it is
the NEC's place to comment on the
wisdom of such a battle. However, the
NEC's name is prefaced by “West
Kootenay”, not north or south Castle-
gar. ‘

Better. still, maybe he should find an

AIDS. After all, it is the Christian

Today -individuat schools raise funds
for trips and this money is usually
allocated to a major event such asa trip

the decision of the NEC to provide
low-cost, in-school programs for the
regional schools has responded to their
very real needs. This is evidenced by
that fact that in just four months (from
February to May 1985), the NEC
reached 16 per cent. (1,700) of the
region's students with these programs.
It is further evidenced by the fact that
all four school boards (Castlegar, Trail,
Nelson and Nakusp) are corporate
members of the centre.

Although I agree that hysteria is an
inappropriate response to any problem,
Dr. Arnott only contributes to it by
attempting to minimize the threat
posed by AIDS.

The average incubation period for
AIDS is 24-29. months so all Dr. Arnott
is saying is that it wasn’ "t a problem two
years ago.

No one who has been diagnosed as
having AIDS has survived more than
four years, most dying horrible deaths
much sooner.

Consequently, it seems we are at the-

soldiers seeking treatment for venereal

U.S. Senate hearing, quoting an army
study, said:

“A lethal venereal disease is~now

North Americans including 20 to 30 per

Why should we allow this to happen?
At the very least, alarmed public

the more dangerous because infections
may remain inapparent for a long
time.”
People at the AIDS centre in
the Vancouver area have “been
exposed to the AIDS virus at the
present time. (CBC Sunday Morning
Show, Sept. 22). Many of these people
are reluctant to be tested for the AIDS
antibody because there is no cure and
they may find themselves discrim-

known that they have or may contract
i —AIDS—-—

So, there are a lot of carriers of the
disease who may have no idea or who
don’t want to know if they have AIDS,
and who may not be too scrupulous
_about satisfying their sexual needs.

‘To try and minimize the problem by
saying that there is only one case in the
Kootenays is ridiculous and irres-
ponsible. Dr. Arnott is like the captain
of the Titanic, pointing out the small
not-to-be-feared iceberg ahead not
telling anyone — if he knows — that 90

While he is still a relatively

New system at library

Installation of a new cir-
culation system in the Sel-
kirk College Library requires
borrowers to apply for a new
library card.

—“€ards are distributed free

| /of charge to students, faculty

and staff and the general
public,” said John® Mans-
bridge, head of the college's
Learning Resource Services.

Library staff at the col-
lege’s Castlegar Campus
spent hundreds of manhours
in June labelling over 60,000
volumes that comprise the
circulating collection. _The
labels, imprinted with Opti-
cal

collored an attractive maroon
and gold, and are labelled
with the borrower's number
and signature.

“Borrowers are required to
present their library cards
when checking out or re-
newing a book,” said Mans-
bridge.

Cards are issued anytime
during normal operating
hours, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mon-
day through Thursday, and 8
a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday.

Aside from the use of more
than 60,000 volumes that
comprise the library's circul-

numbers enable the college's
mainfrante ‘computer system
to manage circulation of li-
brary books.

“Switching to™ an auto-
mated circulation system has

_advantages to both Selkirk

‘ollege ai
said Mansbridge.

He cited faster checkout,
more accuracy and better
tracking of titles and due
dates as advantages enjoyed
by borrowers. The college
benefits from increasing ef-

ating users have
access to a periodical col-
lection of over 500 maga-

zines, journals, newsletters
and newspapers, special col-
lections, which: includes an
extensive Kootenaiana collec-
tion, federal and provincial
government documents, a
film library containing 8mm
and 16mm films,*three quar-
ter inch videotapes, _film-
strips, slides, film loops and
audio cassettes, and access to
the use of typewriters, pho-
tocopier, computer and, for a
niminal charge, other audio-
visual equipment.

The program for the new
automated circulation system
was developed by Malaspina
College of Nanaimo and is
run by the college's mini-
computer system.
