A Taxing issue

City Council reported at last
night's meeting that tax collec-
tion went very smoothly, with
line ups at a minimum.
Approximately 95 per cent of
the $8.1 million billed was
collected by the July 2 dead-
line.

It's a date

Castlegar City Council has set
aside October 17 as the date to
hold the referendum regarding
the new RCMP detachment.
Leading up to this date are a
series of public meetings and
tours of the existing building.
Already one public meeting
was jheld, only to be attended
by a small number of Castle-
gar residents. Locals should
become aware of this issue, if
they wish to make an informed
decision in October.

Just duckie!

The biggest fundraiser of the
year for the Kiwanis Club of
Castlegar is set to go (or

at Pass Creek Park. This is the
annual Duck Race and mem-
bers of the club are selling
1,000 tickets, which corre-
spond to a number on each
duck. The owner of the first
Tubber duckie to cross the fin-
ish line pockets $1,000. The
runner-up duck takes $300,
third place receives $200 and
fourth takes home $100. Tick-
ets will be on sale Saturday at
Safeway and the liquor store.

Firefighters
respond to early

morning fire at
Sandman Inn

Sun Staff

Eleven volunteer firefighters
and two pumper trucks responded
to a fire at the Sandman Inn early
Tuesday morning, which caused
an estimated $1,000 in

Fire Chief Gerry Rempel, ‘who
believes the majority of the dam-
age resulted from smoke, says the
fire call came in at 3:40 am. and
when firecrews arrived on the
scene, most visitors at the hotel
had already been evacuated. The
fire started in a storage room on
the main floor on the north side
of the building, facing the
Chevron station.

“There was a substantial
bone of smoke throughout the

" said Rempel. The Castle-
‘tie chief continued to say the
ie was under control in less than
an hour and the remainder of the

cious though an investigation is
continuing.

Downtown
revitalization
on hold due to
WKP dispute

JASON KEENAN

Job action by workers from
West Kootenay Power has put part
of Castlegar’s downtown revital-
ization on hold for the time being.

“It’s probably a good idea,
until the city can see how media-
tion can work,” said Greg Fowler,
the human resources manager at
WEP, who is sitting at the negoti-
ations. “We suggested it to the
city informally,” he added.

During phase one, the city is
going to replace lights, and rip
down the old hydro poles down-
town. The new power
lines, and the pole removal, will be
carried out by WKP.

The city did not want to rip the
lights out, and then have WKP
pres sctiia take job action, leaving

was served by the IRC,” said
Castlegar RCMP Detachment
Staff Sergeant Doug Hall. “There
are no enforcement bodies that
enforce this injunction.”

By Friday, contractors from
the site had obtained a supreme
court order, giving the RCMP a
mandate to enforce the injunc-
tion. Although no arrests were
made, picketing of the entrance
stopped Friday afternoon. “We've
had no trouble this week,” Mear-
s said on Tuesday. “Construction
is going full force. I detect that
the building trades were quite
anxious to get back to work.”

Two-vehicle accident results in charges

On July 10 at 11:45 p.m. a
two-vehicle accident occured on
Highway 3A at the Glade Esso

One driver was taken to hospi-
tal with minor cuts in the neck
area. A 1979 Ford, driven by
Barry Grunerad of Castlegar was

a mess. “It’s probably
the best - who wants to get started
and have to stop,” said Fowler.

Mike Flynn, chief negotiator
for the International Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers at WKP,
said the plan makes sense, some-
thing he found surprising. “Good
God, city fathers with a brain.”

The union and WKP have met
about a dozen times since the
contract expired in Januaty. The
length of time is a result of
extensive research into the ques-
tion of pensions, he added.

The union rejected the WKP
offer put forward last month by
almost 96 per cent.

Will city council follow OCP?

SHARLENE IMHOFF

Sun Editor
Castlegar City Council is spend-
ing both time and money to com-
plete what local citizens have come
to know as the Official Community
Plan update, a document which the
city says will serve as a guide for

ing. “But then again, there is noth-

ing edged in stone when it comes to
the OCP

Castlegar has had an Official
Commnmmnity Plan since 1981, which
was updated in 1988 and is in the
process of being updated once again
this year. The Official Community
Plan, as the city has stated, serves as
the official expression of policy for
the use of land, water surfaces, and
for the pattern of subdivision and
land . development within the city.

The OCP, which is expected to be in
place by September, should guide
zoning bylaws as well.

With the amount of volunteer
hours going into the planning pro-
cess of the OCP, which included
public meetings and a recent survey,
it is estimated that city council is
spending $40,000 to put the plan
together with the help of Urban Sys-
tems Ltd. a Vancouver developing
firm. Fux says he is not certain, but
believes that grant money from the
Provincial government is helping to
offset the costs.

Ed Grifone, who was once a
Castlegar resident, now works for
Urban Systems Ltd., and was in
Castlegar for the most recent public
meeting. Grifone believes that an
OCP can truly benefit a commmni-
ty—if it is followed once it has been
adopted. “The Kootenays are prone
to considerable growth—which is

Esso and then hit the Hatiken
vehicle. No one in the Hatiken
vehicle received injuries. Charges
will be laid against 20 year-old
Grunerud for driving without due
care and attention. Damage to the
vehicles is estimated at $4,500.
