Lines to be painted Today was the deadline for receipt of tenders at city hall fora contract to repaint lines on city streets. - Ald. Terry Rogers said the city has “‘had a couple of inquires’’ why the lines have yet to be repainted. But he said every year the city is “caught between a rock and a hard place"’ because of the difficulty in guessing when the final snowfall has occurred and further sanding of Streets is unnecessary. It’s the sand that every year erases the lines. However, Rogers said the city hopes to have a contract for the repainting in hand earlier in the year from now on. “*What we liope to do. . . is to target the line painting as early as the weather permits,”’ Rogers said.

Stephen Owen said at the start of a scheduled four-day hearing that he didn’t want to prejudice potential criminal proceedings against Reid. “I think if there is any risk that the justice of the peace, or if there is any risk of there being any prejudice to a potential accused . ....that the wiser course is to adjourn,” said Owen. NDP justice critic Moe Sihota filed evidence to a justice of the peace Friday. Sihota, acting as a private citizen, said he has ‘‘reasonable and probable grounds”’ to believe Reid broke the Crown. A justice of the peace said he would consider the evidence May 28 to see if it warrants a breach-of-trust charge. With that development, Owen said it would be wise to adjourn his provincial inquiry until. June 4. Although Owen ruled on the side of caution, he said the inquiry does not focus on the conduct of Reid and CasNews to help students By CasNews Staff Are you a student looking for a summer job, but haven’t had any luck?

He also explained that the majority of British Columbians live in the Lower Mainland and Victoria, but much of the wealth and resources are generated in the In- terior. He said there is a lot of Pressure being put on communities to provide the natural resources that drive the province’s economy. One of the key things is education of workers and managers and all people educating each other in terms of keeping ecosystems intact. Browne said the message from people has been clear. “*We must deal with all aspects of our activities.” Browne noted that until about four or five years ago dioxins and furans were virtually unheard of. Dioxins and furans are the common names given to a family of chemicals believed to be a serious threat to health. The chemicals are produced by pulp mills which use chlorine in the bleaching of pulp. Browne said the performance of the Present Celgar mill is not one that the mill can be proud of. However, a lot of money has gone into designing the new mill and, if it is built, it will be one of the most environmentally clean pulp mills in the world, he said. Browne said Celgar’s decision last week to use hydrogen peroxide to bleach pulp produced in the new mill will see a reduction in the amount of chlorine required to bleach the pulp. In addition, he said research is pointing the way to using peroxide to possibly eliminate chlorine in the pulp process. Other speakers included Castlegar Ald. Doreen Smecher. ““We have been provided with an abundance of natural resources for a high standard of living,’’ Smecher said. But she added that Canadians are also the highest users of energy on a per capita basis in the world. She said people must take responsibility and be aware of the planet’s vulnerability. “If you don’t think about the future you can’t have one,”’ she said. Smecher said the media must try and make good ac- tions newsworthy. “*We need to know that as individuals and small groups that we can make a difference.’’ John Semenoff of the Fructova Environmental Resource Centre in Grand Forks, said People not only have the right to speak on the issues which concern them, but also have the responsibility and obligation to do so. He said it’s,vital that human beings develop an at- titude of nsibility, sensitivity, caring and con- i necessary or with or power. “We can use our technology to either create a Paradise for all on earth or drive the human species into extinction,’’ he said. He added that today’s major concern is man’s fanatical faith in and his Preoccupation with the idea of growth. “*It seems to many that if their city is not growing, or their company is not growing, or their business is not growing, then there is something wrong with it. It seems to us that before a city should encourage growth, it should have an idea of what size of Population the clean water Supply in the area will sustain, the clean air supply an area can provide.’’ Semenoff said more discussions are needed. “People should feel that what they say or do can make a difference and should be encouraged to become assertive and begin to take the necessary steps towards cleaning it up,”’ he said. Steve Verigin, of the USCC Working Group on En- vironment, said it’s up t groups, individuals and organizations to change things. “We have to create an awareness, we need a unification of people," he said. ‘‘We suffer from the inability to feel responsible for anything that happens in the future. We need absolute scientific Proof that the en- vironment has been damaged.

Golubiev added that the 10 largest cities in the Soviet Union suffer from extreme air pollution. He said some animal species have now become extinct. Golubiev said the pollution has resulted largely from technological and economic growth without enough attention paid to the environment. He added that the whole attitude of economic growth at the expense of the natural environment is a phenomenon not only of the Soviet Union but of the industrialized world. As a result of these recent discoveries, and People being more sensitive to the environment, ecological issues are becoming more important. Two years ago, an all-Soviet committee, with branches throughout the U.S.S.R., was formed to check into environmental issues, Golubiev said. “The problem of cleaning up the international issue. “We have to act between countries and take joint actions. It is imperative that joint efforts are undertaken using the highest technology in order to raise everyone's standard of living safely around the world.”” In response to questions, Golubiev explained that there are two different categories of environmental organizations in the Soviet Union: government agencies, whose budget comes from taxes, and informal citizens’ groups, who basically finance themselves. He said the coalitions are more effective because they are motivated from the heart. He added that the coalitions have Sprung up throughout the Soviet Union in recent years.
