The Liberals haven't been a force on the provincial political sc for more than 35 years, and have been nearly non-existent for the last decade. Compound that with the showing by the federal Liberals in the last three elections, and the road to the premier's office is more than an uphill battle for Mr. Lee — it’s a dream. Certainly, there is room for a i i province, one ly confined to ideologies of the left or right. But Mr. Lee must be realistic about his chances. The Liberal par- ty in B.C. is in tatters. It has only one federal seat — and that one only because John Turner ran. The party hasn't held a seat in the provincial legislature since the pre-coalition days of 1975, before Liberals like Pat McGeer, Garde Gardom and Allan Williams jum- ped ship to join the Social Credit rty. In addition, Mr. Lee faces stiff competition for the middle-of-the- road vote from former NDP MLA Graham Lea's new United Party. While Mr. Lee down played the fledgling United Party's strength during his tour of the West Kootenay this week, there is one thing to be said for the new party: it's leader holds a seat in the legislature. That's something Mr. Lee can't boast. But give Mr. Lee credit. He is out touring the province, letting voters and municipal politicians know that he's ready to listen to their concerns. He says he's pl through public consultation. It's a page right out of the federal Progressive Conservatives’ ap- proach — an approach that won the Tories a record number of seats last September. Mr. Lee's approach also con- trasts strongly with our local MLA's style. When was the last time Chris D'Arcy sat down with Castlegar council to hear its concerns? Mr. D’Arcy's presence in this riding has been low profile, he has become the area's “invisible man”. He surfaced for the first time publicly last week at the Castlegar and District Teachers’ Association protest rally outside the cour- thouse. But where was he before then? Good news There isn't any doubt things are tough around Castlegar. But too of- ten we focus on the negative and either ignore or don't place as much emphasis on the positive. And there have been some positive things happening in this area lately. In this issue of the Castlegar News, for instance, thi is a report on the success of the Emme's Jambrosia jam factory in Crescent Valley. It's the kind of success story every business longs for. The com- pany recently landed a contract with a major U.S. distributor and things are looking bright for the future. Similarly, in the last CasNews, new stock car race track in Ootischenia.

May this particular taxpayer and student offer a few controversial comments? Public and even much private education has been rendered obsol- ete by the student body. The consu mers of education in British Colum. bia are no longer interested in the product. The acquisition of know ledge cannot guarantee employment after graduation. The delivery of knowledge is a slow and tedious process. Time is money. Most students and the tax payers have little of either. The present system of dispensing know ledge kills curiosity, wonder and initiative in a gradual process that cannot be placed at the feet of the teachers. Many of a student's academic years are devoted to experiencing the social life or trying to please their parents as the child struggles towards a legal or medical degree Now that I your attention by arousing your ire, let's talk positive ly, optimistically and confidentially about the future. We should expect an explosion of knowledge in the next 30 years. Young and old alike are making it obvious that they thirst for know. ledge.

This particular boy is a product of the B.C. educational system. There are probably thousands more like him, who would rather discuss the effect of gravity on time and space ,and wonder about the universe, then put in time for 20 years waiting to get a job at Cominco or Westar. Many teachers are doing their level best under an outdated system to deliver conemporary knowledge on a shoe string budget.

MLAs. While in deep discussion earlier this winter with some fellow unemployed in the area, we reached the decision that the Bennett government must have one more completely irrational move re- maining in its bag of tricks, and this week, I was far from surprised to observe the final kick in the face delivered to the people of B.C. It is certainly a possibility there are people in this valley who consider I am wrong to protest this increase in pay. Alright, let us be polite and call it an “increase in -allowances”. There are citizens who believe our fine public servants actually deserve -a raise in pay. I can accept these beliefs. After all, there are people on trial in Toronto at this moment who believe the Nazi holocaust never occurred. If they can believe such nonsense and be heard in public, I have no qualms in allowing some of our local residents looking with favor on pay increases for MLAs. I am only an unemployed working class stiff without a great head for figures so I dug out my trusty calculator and did some ciphering. The MLAs in B.C. sat for 57 days in 1984 with a salary of $39,987 per year. (I didn’t dream this up — it comes from the BCTV news hour). This works out to $701 per day and, giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming they would put in a 10-hour day at their job, it breaks down to $70.10 per hour. I have often been made to feel guilty because, as a member of a building trade, I have been paid as much as $19.50 per hour when employed in the coal fields a few years ago. Now some will agree the 57 days are only those days the members sit in the “Gold Palace” in Victoria and they spend the balance of the year cons. cientiously working in their respective constituency. Many of B.C.’s MLAs seem to be representing ridings in Hawaii, southern California and Mexico this winter. This raise will put our members in the third highest pay bracket in Canada, after Quebec and Ontario, with New Brunswick slipping to fourth spot. The figures thrown out are approximately $3,000 annually for 57 members. That amounts to $171,000 to be paid as a raise to our public servants. (The word “servant” bothers me. The dictionary defines it “person willing to serve another.” I rest my case.) Since there is no money available for education in our province, I am to assume someone will have to dig deep in the sock to pay for this one. If we had a fraction of the $171,000 in the Castlegar area, we could possibly open a deluxe used car lot and hopefully train more members for the Bennett cabinet. I was shocked to hear on the Feb. 12 BCTV newscast “not one MLA stood up to oppose the raise.” I found this so i . I phoned Trail ii He was quite helpful and polite and thanked me for calling. I asked if he would consider expressing the concern of a few of the area's unemployed by standing in the House and stating publicly that he was opposed to an unnecessary pay hike at this time and by this, hopefully set an example for more of the Opposition members. His reply to me was, and I quote: “I have more important fish to fry. T is not a really important issue.” I thought I had misinterpreted his answer so asked him to repeat himself, which he did. He went on to say that he lives reasonably well and has no need for the $275 a month extra which this raise will give him, but is not about to turn it back to the government. For a person employed on a full time basis, $275 a month is perhaps the amount of payment one might make on a new car, or boat. For one as fortunate as myself to be receiving UIC benefits, it is the difference between Kraft dinners and roast beef. For many of my friends who have run out of UIC benefits and do not yet qualify for welfare assistance, it would mean keeping a roof over their family's heads Publish facts and let public judge Editor, Castlegar News: For the past two or three years, howls of “cutback” have been eman. ating from various segments of the B.C. education system. Equally loud have been the defence of the system and its financing. The minister of education recently claimed B.C.'s expenditure on educa tion is comparable to Alberta's and On. tario’s and exceeds that of most other provinces. At the “third annual” teachers protest rally this week, local MLA per cent between 1980 and 1984. This roughly coincides with the increase in the Consumer Price Index. In the same period the operating budget per student increased by over 60 per cent. After three years of seeing figures selected, edited and editorialized be- yond recognition, I would like to see the local school board publish a chart for at least the last five years showing: 1) Total operating budget 2) Total number of students 3) Total number of teachers Chris D'Arcy said B.C. puts less 4. Percentage increase in CPI funding per capita into ion than 5 P ge increase in teachers’ any other province. salaries. Both are predictably political pos If these figures were published itions, but hardly enlightening In a recent interview the school board chairman quoted figures in dicating that the district has one more teacher than 10 years ago whilst having nearly 600 fewer students. Budget statistics show that the local operating budget increased by over 40 every time a budget is released the public could judge for itself if local education is being adequately funded and wisely administered. It should certainly make much of the oratory redundant. 8.W. Webster Castlegar and putting food of any type on the table. T have no measure of respect for the Bennett government with its irre- sponsible attitude toward the people of B.C. I would tear up my ballot in public view at high noon on Columbia Avenue before I would cast a vote in favor of that unshaven, mumbling incompetent who calls himself the premier of this province. However, I haven't the opportunity to speak in person to these wonderous leaders of the land. Mr. D'Arcy, I asked you in privacy and I now ask you publicly, please accept the respon sibility for the people in your riding and speak out against this totally uncalled for waste of the taxpayers’ money. I ask everyone who has taken the time to read this letter, regardless of your political affiliation — to pick up a pen or the phone and contact your MLA to express your dissatisfaction with such a ridiculous waste of money Must our children suffer in the school system so the politicians can have an increase in wages? I hope not. We put these people in Victoria. Perhaps the time has come to let them know we are not happy. Phillip Keegan Robson Province insensitive Editor, Castlegar News: Last week I received, unsolicited in the mail, a circular from the Minister of Human Resources, Grace McCarthy. It informed me that over 300 foster homes for children are needed in the Kootenays. It went on to ask me if I would consider becoming a foster parent and outlined the benefits of such a challenge. My first reaction was one of admiration for those who are willing and able to accept foster children, and sorrow at the conditions under which natural parents give up those children, either temporarily or permanently My second reaction was one of rage. I pondered the audacity and insens. itivity of a government which has allowed, and in the Kootenays even deliberately increased unemployment, resulting in poverty, child and wife abuse, alcoholism, and marriage and family breakdowns. The stress on families is unbelievable when in a family of one adult and two teenagers $410 a month is allocated for housing and utilities (not transferable to the food budget if any is left over) and $360 for food, clothing and trans port. To place people in such a situ ation, see the resulting emotional havoe and then expect us to pick up the pieces in terms of fostering the hapless vietims of official government policy is both irresponsible and arrogant In addition, two family support workers in the Ministry of Human Resources office in Castlegar have been laid off under the government's restraint program. These are the very people who assist in the placement and support of foster children and their parents.

The article in Pulpit & Pew of the Feb. 10 Castlegar News is an example of why I fear Christian fundamentalism. In this article, George James of the Calvary Baptist presents a letter by the Rev. R.E.J, Brackstone which states: “The death penalty is not a human law. It is Divine Law.” I assume the Baptists are Christians, as the Pulpit and Pew section is reserved for comments by Christian ministers. I learned my Christianity from my mother and father. I do not ever remember them teaching me that Jesus Christ condoned putting men to death. They taught me that Christ's message was one of love and for- giveness. I would like other Christian ministers who share the section Pulpit & Pew to comment on whether their churches consider executions as “Div- ine Law.” What I find interesting in Mr. James” article is how on one hand his church ean condone the execution of humans and on the other be against abortion. Mr. James, killing is killing. It is further fascinating how the Baptist Church could have aided a dictator like Rios Monte of Guatemala (a born-again Baptist), while his Christian soldiers butchered Guatemalan Indian children with machetes. Mr. James whether you swing the knife or aid those who do, whether the children are from com- munist Indian parents or from parents in Castlegar — killing is killing. The aspect of Christian funda: mentalism which is so terrifying is the di ists’ use of simplisti righteous statements taken out of context from the Bible as answers to complex human problems. This is how they can speak about the sanctity of human life and execution as God's “Divine Law" jn the same breath. When I hear someone speak of killing as ordained by God, my flesh turns cold. This month we remembered the 40th anniversary of the blasphemous ity of Auschwitz. The i y of one man and the massive carnage of Auschwitz is a difference of degree, not kind. After all, Mr. James, Auschwitz was created to serve the divine will of a higher Aryan power. I do not know to which god Mr. James and the members of the Calvary Baptist Church allude, but I am certain he is not the God of Jesus Christ. Through each era there blows and idiot wind which tantalizes people with simple solutions. In the 1960s, my generation was lured by drugs. We turned off our minds and sought reality and the answer to life's problems through drugs. Today, a new generation chooses the same road of simple solutions in Christian fundamentalism. Whether it is through a chemical or through simplistic religious philosophy, the product is the same — a poisioned brain, incapable of seeing the com- plexity and beauty of life. Mr. James, God speaks to no one nor does he write simple solutions on a piece of paper. What is offered us is life. The complex choices and the agonizing responsibilities are the sou- rees of God and the human soul. Christian fundamentalism gives us life in reverse. It does not speak of the many choices and the r ibilities of than Jesus Christ. is a movement to bring religion back into the schools. As a father of young children, I am frightened of this. I do not wish to see my son come home and tell me that his Baptist teacher had taught him that execution is God's “Divine Law.” As a person who came from a religious sect which has quoted God's “Divine law” for any bizarre act, I know full well the consequences of this type of religious teaching. Mr. James in the article states “each of us is made in the image of God, not in the image or descendant from the baboon as some think and teach.” If Mr. James is indeed made “in the image” of his vicious and vindicative god, then I would gladly consider the baboon as my ancestor and brother. In the baboon's cage I would find much more freedom and compassion than with Mr. James and his august brethern in the Calvary Baptist Church. Mickey Kinakin Castlegar Harcourt dragging his feet r, Castlegar News: Vancouver's new harborfront trade and ion centre will generate those choices, it gives us nothing but simple narrow platitudes. This kind of thinking is much more Timothy Leary New Testament doesn’t support death penalty Editor, Castlegar News: In Sunday's Pulpit & Pew Rev. J.E.J. Brackstone expressed the op inion that the death penalty “is a Divine Law”. This interpretation of Holy Writ is not shared by all Christian churches in Canada and the United States. The Canadian Council of Churches created a task force in 1975 which is now known as the Interchurch Task Force on Responsible Alternatives to the Death Penalty. The report of this group lists the following Churches as opposed to the death penalty: (1958) Anglican Church in Canada, (1958) Central Conference of American Rab- bis which includes the Canadian Reform Rabbis, (1960) United Church of Canada, (1965) Baptist Convention of Ontario & Quebec, (1965) Lutheran Church in America — Canada Section, (1967) Presbyterian Church in Canada, (1970) Canadian Unitarian Council and (1973) Canadian Council of Catholic Bishops. The Society of Friends (Quakers), the Mennonite Central Committee and the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ have always objected to the . taking of life, for any reason. Under the heading of the “Gospel Imperative” this group states: “The basis of our concern as churches is that persons are made in the image of God and redeemable through the grace of God offered in Jesus Christ. St. Paul was, by his own admission ‘chief among sinners’, was also the recipient of grace the ‘length, breadth, depth and height’ of which he could not fathom. That grace enabled a former murderer to become the ‘chief among Apostles’. The operative power of that grace is the theological rationale for our position.” It is further stated in the report: “There are no New Testament pas- sages sanctioning the death penalty, only those which uphold public auth- ority, as found in Romans 13. The Protestant theologian, Charles S. Milligan, calls the citing of Old Testament texts to advocate the death penalty, in the face of New Testament admonitions to love and show mercy, ‘strange logic.’ ” The General Board of the American Baptish Church in the U.S. passed a resolution in 1977 which contained these passages: “Since further legal actions to stop executions appear unpromising it is more important than ever that the religious community hundreds of jobs in the Lower Mainland.

Imagine what Jean Drapeau would have done with a federally financed asset like that? The provincial government must stand aside. Victoria has done enough for Vancouver already. Note Light Rapid Transit, the stadium, B.C. Place. And why should British Columbi: outside the Lower Mainland subsidize the day-to-day operations of a Van- couver Convention Centre when the jobs and the taxes are Vancouver's for the asking? So I say that it is up to Mayor Harcourt and his council to show leadership. “Mikey” may not like it, but other convention centres in other parts of Canada are showing the way. The cities run their own centres. Vancouver can too. Hon.

Brackstone is familiar with Ezekiel 33:11 “As I live, says the Lord God, I have no desire for the death of the wicked. I would rather that a wicked man should mend his ways and live.” and Ezekiel 18:23 “Have I any pleasure that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?” George Richards Castlegar Western numbers drawn in the Lotto Lottery The winning numbers drawn in the Western Ex- Feb. 13: The jackpot of press Lottery Feb. 13: For $170,718.50 was carried over. $100,000 the numbers are The eight numbers drawn 1167762, 2072400 and were 3, 9, 22, 30, 43, 44, 53 1522209. and 55.
