The mere fact that Finance Minister Allan MacEachen will try » again is a sign of more good inten- tions — and recognition of the ex- treme seriousness of the Canadian economy. It is a signal, if not a remedy. p This will mean more changes in the Foreign Investment Review Act and the National Energy Program, Goverenments rarely do what they should do but a lot will be riding on Mr. MacEachen’s new budget. Neither he, nor the gover- nment, can afford to blow a second chance. Conflict of interest? A report elsewhere in this paper notes that the C contract school during ‘the last ji Castl schoo! board has agreed to in- crease Castlegar and District eachers’ A iation presid Bob Cacchioni's release time for association work from 20 to 25 per cent of his teaching time. While we have no real quarrel with.the increase, given the com- plexities of the duties involved in heading such a group, we are con- cerned about Cacchioni’s “dual role”. He not only represents Castlegar and District teachers, but sits as o trustee on the Trail school ‘board: The’ quéstion ‘of a teacher sitting on a school board Is jal an ig one, esp when that teacher is also president of a association. Though the two roles are not directly connected, from: time to time their paths do cross — such as neighboring * teachers’. board and its teachers never ac- tually negotiated a contract, but decided instead to wait to see how the rest of the West Kootenay schoo! district's settled and take the average settlement of thoge districts — of which Trail is one. It is interesting to note that Trail schoo! board settled for much higher contract than the West Kootenay average. It begs the question whether Cacchioni should on the, one hand be on the management side negotiating with teachers, while qt the same time be on the teachers’ side negotiating with management. The situation isn't as bad as it might be when the two negotiations are divorced from each other; but when-one hinges on the other it becomes very close to bordering on conflict of interest. - FRED MERRIMAN ~ simple fact is f! cost of their products.

We see announcements in the press daily which carry with them almost a tinge of surprise. It is not really unusua! for seasons to wax and wane. The game was simply too large for many of the players at the table. They had no contingency plans. Business and the working man have been caught — with the game called before the last big win.

Argentina's new leader From REUTERS-AP BUENOS AIRES (CP) — Retired army Maj.-Gen. Reynaldo Bignone, the new Argentine president, is a hardline become the seventh military president in six years. A balding, spectacled infantry offi- cer, he is considered an articulate and anti-C who favors to strict monetarist policies in the economic field. : Bignone, who takes office on July 1, helped plan the 1976 military coup that toppled Maria Estela Peron and he participated in the repression of left-wing guerrillas that followed. The 54-year-old army officer is known to be firm in the belief that Argentina’s political institutions must be revamped before a civilian gov- able and has occupied top positions in the military govern- ment and the army. His critics, mainly in the air force and navy, recognize his administrative ability but oppose his conservative economic and political views and say he lacks the forceful personality required at this time.

The president-designate also is be- lieved to share the philosophy of Videla's economy minister, Jose Mar- tinez de Hoz, whose inflation-fighting, free-market and monetarist policies are blamed by virtually all of the suppres- sed political parties and labor unions for the country’s deep recession. *Bignone told a group of and directed all of the army's training schools.

Mitchell was dubbed the villian of the 1929 Wall Street Crash. When his shenanigans were exposed in 1933, there was such a public outcry that Congress legislated a large segment of the banking industry out of the brokerage business. Banking has been in the process of deregulation in the U.S. for several years. “'Th6é’ Reagan administration wants to speed that process. The most restrictive banking law on the books is the Glass-Steagall Act enacted during the height of the Great Depression. It changed the nature of U.S. banking by separating commercial from investment banking. Commercial banks take savings and make loans while investment banks underwrite and deal in securities. The act split the banking system down the middle. The Wall Street Crash and the collapse of the banking system dictated such a drastic change. Before the financial collapse of the 1930s, banks had participated in almost two-thirds of all new stock and bond issues. The wheeling and dealing atten- dant at .that time — without close regulation — prompted Senator Carter Glass, a Virginia Democrat, and fellow Southern Democrat Henry Steagall of Alabama, along with a bitter public, to blame the banks for the crash. Blame was heaped on the big money centre banks of New York, primarily National City Bank, fore- runner of Citibank, and Chase Na- tional, today’s Chase Manhattan Bank. They were accused among other things of lending money on favorable terms to their own investment affil- intes, buying stock of doubtful quality and having affiliates jumping in to prop up sagging stock prices of parent banks. In March, 1933, the Senate com- mittee on banking and currency com- pleted its investigation into the cause of the Crash. The investigators ex- posed how pool operators manipulated stock prices with the help of corporate executives. : One of them was Charles (Sun- shine Charlie) Mitchell, the dour chair- man of National City Bank. He sold millions of dollars worth of stock to his own family at a loss to avoid taxes. During the congressional hear- ings, Glass called Mitchell the man most responsible “for excess that have resulted in this disaster.” Mitchell resigned from the bank and then stood trial for income-tax Crash It was alleged that Mitchell had a gross income of $3 million in 1929 but reported a loss of $48,000 following the sale of National City Bank shares to his wife. In the 1980s, the New Deal Congress enacted laws to protect the investor as well as the banker. But the Reagan administration says some laws have become archaic in a modern age of banking and iT of new eq in the local telephone office, will enable the B.C.

We went well over our quota of 280 units by collecting 325 units of blood. There were a total of 343 people who attended the clinic. A special thank you is extended to the Kiwanis Club for their hard work and tremendously good support for the clinic. Mr. Val Gouvender was the clinic chairman for the Kiwanis and he did a superb job. It -was very nice to see so many Kiwanians working at the clinic in a variety of positions. The numerous other volunteers at the beds, serving lunch and generally assisting with the clinic all did a great job. The entire community was so with put i work parties and support.that I am proud to say Castlegar is my home. The group that deserves the biggest vote of thanks is:that of the volunteer donors.

In the smoky distance is Mirkwood. I look again and can almost envision a fair maiden being carried off by a handsome prince on a dazzling steed, galloping like the wind toward their “happily-ever-after.” I am looking at the imaginary landscapes of Jerry Enewold, artist, woodworker, carpenter, chess player, and potter. Jerry calls his large oils “visionary landscapes.” They “are based on the imagination rather than reality.” Although, they originally come from the nature around us, they are not like anything we've ever seen in the great outdoors of the West Kootenays. When Jerry decides to paint a picture, he does not seat himself outside and copy his landscapes tree for tree or river for river. He'll usually sit at the large wooden desk in his living room and compose the scenes entirely from his imagination. Fanciful scenes he paints, of hills, valleys, waterfalls and swirling eddies. His most recent painting is of a desolate expanse of endless brown hills. And then our eye is directed to the mid-ground where we see what looks to be like tiny tents of a circus, We stare, trying to figure out what a circus is doing way out there in the middle of nowhere. In “Evangeline Lives in a Dream,” we see a dark, haired young woman in the d of a isti of rocky hills and cliffs, and knarled trees. If you stand in front of Jerry's paintings for very long you cannot help but begin to imagine a story line; (the princess fleeing from the evil witch, perhaps a visit by Merlin the Magician). Even Jerry's real-to-life scenes; the one of his two children, Willow and Jake coming down their back path; his portrait of Kate; seems to have a touch of this characteristic dreamlike quality. Although he received an “honorable mention” at the juried Regional Art show this year, and had three large scenes hung in this year's Community Art Show, Jerry says he has made “no effort to publish my work.” He doesn’t have a very high opinion of art critics and told me that the critics can end up controlling what and how the artist paints. Jerry wants none of this. He enjoys what he paints and really doesn’t seem to care if anybody else does or not. boa 7 Woodwork is his other artistic endeavor. Besides making all his own picture: frames, he -has his own business called “Boardwalk Doors.” He supplies Tarrys Woodcraft with his specialty; sliding glass patio doors. dining-room table... + 6 tee “fm somehow more at peace making functional things,” he said, placing his‘hand down on the table. “It's ion of ; . stained, glass windows for his home...... ., He has made all of ‘his ‘own kitchen cupboards, and his. _ Getting to Know Your Neighbor 3 yi MAN OF MANY TRADES . . .

Jerry is now an apprentice bench and joiner, and cabinet maker. He explained that a “joiner” does with wood what a welder does with steel, joins it together, “making wood fit together.” Jerry feels that “bartering is a good system,” and has traded paintings for things such a% furniture and ..When the Community.

(painting) It’s an expression of the heart, but it can’t come close to nature.” ” : Jerry was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and lived for 17 years in Reno, Nevada where he grew up. His dad paints, and collects guns. Jerry told me his father has one of the largest and most elaborate gun collections in North America. Jerry grew up drawing and painting. “In fifth gradeT was always the kid who did the nativity scenes on the blackboard.” He studied art at Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo, and then went on to the University of Nevada. It was about this time that Jerry. took a trip to Canada. “The country was so beautiful I decided to stay.” He worked two years as a housepainter and oddjobber in Vancouver and remembers working on the model home at the PNE one summer. While in Vancouver he met Kate Kujundzic and the couple moved out here 11 years ago to a small cabin down on the Kootenay River in Thrums. They’ added on and added on until now their home isa unique expression of themselves, with it’s lofts and for him. He adds that most people have more creativity than they think they have. He says that clay is an easy medium “to work your will upon.” Jerry and his family enjoy outdoor activities such as ~ fishing, hiking and camping. a o And “chess is one of my main things.” He is hoping to attend the Canadian Open Chess Championships in Vancouver at the end of July. Jerry, who has been at the game since he was 12, is a member of the Canadian Chess Federation and plays “Five Minute Chess.” In this type of chess each player has only five minutes in which to make his move. A “chess clock,” which is actually two clock-like timers, ticks away the minutes and seconds reminding the players constantly of how much or how little time they have left. At the end of five minutes a flag on the timer goes down stopping the clocks. “And when the flag goes down it’s the same as a check mate.” Serious. chess players in the Chess Federation are rated and given a number, The categories are: unrated, D, C, B, A, Master and Grand Master. Jerry whose number is 1422 is classed in the C division but Jerry is hoping next month to raise his class to a B. To Jerry painting and chess are not diametrically opposed, but inter-related. “In chess there are different pieces with different powers and movements, and that's what painting is — design and structure. Structure is my strong point,” he continued, “and chess is structure.” J ‘i n and ‘new, it - +/was Jerry who set up the arts and crafts room and got the . .
