Castlegar's two major lottery ticket outlets, Carl's Drugs and The Book Shop, both gay they haven't even been approached'by the federal sports pool to sell tickets. And Carl Knutson of Carl’s Drugs says he wouldn't sell the tickets even if he was approached. That's because the provincial lottery corporations have issued a letter to all its ticket sellers warning that if they sell the federal government's sports pool tickets, they must give up selling the province-run lottery tickets — such as Loto 6-49, The Provincial, Western and Match 3. “I wouldn't risk losing what we've got for what they're (the sports pool) offering,” says Knutson. He says there are predictions the sony pool will lose $20 million and go ter Popoff of The have resolved their differences, he will be selling both tickets Popoff said he believes the two levels of government are fighting it out in the larger centres first, before bringing the sports pool tickets to smaller centres like Castlegar. He also said he doesn't have any dis agreement with the provincial lottery corporations’ letter warning ticket sellers that if they sell sports pool tickets, they will lose the provinces’ tickets. Popoff said the provinces are not telling sellers what tickets to sell, but giving them a choice: sell either the federal government's tickets or the provinces’. Still, it could be some time before either Popoff or Knutson are forced to make a choice. Knutson said it took up to a year after Lotto 6-49 started for the tickets to become available in Castlegar. And if that’s the case, Castlegar sports bettors may not be able to pick their favorite teams until this time next year. But that isn’t the case elsewhere in Canada where this weekend defiant dealers in several cities are fuming over blank Loto 6-49 terminals. The dealers are vowing to fight the DTUC watched By CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Writer Nelson residents are keeping a close watch on the now-closed David Thomp- son University Centre to prevent the removal of the library materials and any equipment, in order to make the operation of a future facility possible. The DTUC ‘facility closed on Tues. day. DTUC activist Dorothy Gomez said residents are patrolling the campus in four-hour shifts, except at night when some homeowners are keeping a close watch on the centre. “It’s the only means of addressing a moral issue that the government owes the community something,” she said. Gomez says residents are not just protesting the removal of equipment by Selkirk College, but by the Ministry of Highways, which assumed respon sibility for the centre, and by the Uni versity of Victoria which jointly ran the centre with Selkirk College. The group, the DTUC Action Com mittee, has a telephone tree message system, whereby concerned area resi- dents will be alerted if any books or equipment are removed. In addition, seven people are staked out at the DTUC library to prevent the removal of library books. The groups include both senior citizens and stu dents — some of whom are on a rotating basis and are occupying the library until their original demands are met. Those demands include an im mediate startup of negotiations for an acceptable agreement between the City of Nelson and the provincial gov. ernment, and assurance of the long. term future of the DTUC campus as a centre for post-secondary education. The also wants a written statement ensuring that during nego- tiations no books, equipment or fur nishings willgeave the campus. Selkirk College on Monday relocated equipment necessary to keep employ ees working at other sites of the col- lege, such as typewriters, office equip- ‘ment, and personal effects. Bome protesters Monday initially d & van from r ing the equipment but the protesters later removed their line. College principal Leo Perra said no of equipment located at DTUC to pre- sent to the City of Nelson. The list will state what equipment and furnishings the college intends to move to Castlegar or Rosemont. In other DTUC news, DTUC faculty have resolved an issue with Selkirk College over severance pay and a waiver which asked faculty to sign away rights to any claims, suits or disputes against the college. On Monday, their last day of employ- ment, most instructors received $1,000 provincial lottery corporations that cut them off for selling sports pool tickets. Terminal shutoffs were reported in at least four cities — Moncton, Mon. treal, Hamilton and Winnipeg. The shutoff in Moncton was only temporary. John Townsend, owner of Keating’s Tobacco Shop, won a 10-day reprieve when the New Brunswick Court of Queen's Bench granted him an injunction ordering Atlantic Lottery Corp. to keep his Loto 6-49 computer connected for 10 days after the noon cutoff deadline. Keating, who says he has had trouble with Atlantic Loto before, got tangled in a legal cat-and-mouse game. First, his lawyer got an injunction forbidding the corporation from removing the machine, but after the deadline passed the machine started flashing a “Bad Pass” signal whenever he tried to punch in a sale. “It’s the same pass number I've al ways had,” he said. “It looks like some- one is playing games.” Bob Scott, public relations manager for Atlantic Loto, said the corporation obeyed the court order by only discon. necting the machine from the central computer rather than hauling it away. Townsend's lawyer applied for a new continued on poge A2 closely spokesman Ray Jones. But at a meeting Friday, Jones said college personnel manager Berry Jack son presented the faculty with a recal culation of severance payment and a letter from college principal Leo Perra saying the college will remove the nec essity of the waiver. Most faculty were able to pick up partial payments on Friday Jones was told earlier in the week that the di in pay was less in severance than was in a statement sent by the college in March. One instructor had been short- changed by $5,000, said DTUC faculty a result of the Pulp, Paper and Wood workers of Canada and Operation continued on poge A2 BONJOUR, ANYONE? Renewed interest in RCMP bilingualism By ADRIAN CHAMBERLAIN Staff Writer A recent directive from Ottawa stresses that it’s official policy for all RCMP officers and staff in Canada to answer telephones in French and English. But the word — in either language — appears not to have reached the Castlegar detachment yet. A call from the Castlegar News to the RCMP elicited a “Good morning, RCMP,” but no “Hello, and bonjour.” Sgt. Wes Guymer of the Castlegar RCMP says no one ever answers the phone in both languages. ‘And he says no one at the detach. ment speaks both French and English. In the past there was a French- speaking officer at the Castlegar de- tachment, said Guymer, but he left. “| know some swear words in French,” offered Guymer. “I spent a summer in St. Boniface (Manitoba).” The man in charge of enforcing fed- eral language laws is Chief Superin- tendent Sid Yelle, director of official at RCMP ters in Ottawa. He has said he’s had no vocal op- position from the RCMP to the bilingual policy — which goes fer all federal government departments — but has had some resistance. “We hope (RCMP officers) will do it by encouragement,” said Yelle. Guymer said staff in most B.C. detachments aren't bilingual. Most of the RCMP detachments that are desig: nated as bilingual are located along the Trans-Canada Highway in B.C., he said. According to Guymer the Castlegar detachment “very, very seldom” re ceives calls in French. “It would be more appropriate for people to be able to speak Russian here,” he said. According to 1981 Statistics Canada figures, 27.40 per cent of Castlegar's population is of Russian descent — the second, largest ethnic group after ‘British which is 41.75 per cent. Only 3.45 per cent of Castlegar's population is of French descent. Guymer said French-English bilin gualism has only touched the local de tachment to the extent of bilingual let. terheads and emblems, such as uniform tehes. But that doesn’t mean the officers here are mere unilinguists. Guymer said some of them speak other lan. guages, such as Ukrainian. Guymer appeared unappreciative of the federal government's renewed in. terest in making sure police answer the phone in two languages — whether the officer in question can speak French or not. “It'd be crazy to hire someone in the office with a stipulation that they're bilingual in French and English,” he said.
