SUN STAFF PHOTO / Karen Kerkhotf Fix-it tax-grab hits home Seanagh Sloan For The Castlegar Sun Minister of Finance and Cor- porate Relations, Elizabeth Cull, has announced changes to the provincial sales tax (PST). It is the first time that services will be taxed by the province. From the budgeted figure in May, 1993 of $80 million, the Ministry has reduced taxation by $28 million to $52 million. The taxation measure is therefore expected to raise the $52 million from Octo- Sports. Profile . Classifieds Entertainment Inspirations... Home improvement Supplement ber 1, 1993 to March 31, 1994 Cull stated, “the revenue that is being lost will be made up by government savings and not by in the deficit or other It is the first time a provincial tax will be levied on certain ser- vices, as well as taxable items and parts. Cull gave the follow- ing example of the tax change “a person having their skis repaired will pay a tax on the parts and labour, whereas prior to the October 1, 1993 they would only have paid for the parts.” The taxable service definition includes activities which require the company or person to “install, assemble, dismantle, repair, adjust alter, restore, re- condition, refinish or maintain tangible personal property.” Taxes have always been applied to those goods used to repair goods. Automobile repairs and maintenance, repairs to busi ness equipment, and mainte nance of small household items will be taxed According to Ministry of Finance and Corporate Relations Communications Manager Tim Gallagher, it would include per sonal property such as cars personal stereos, toasters, and VCRs. However, it would not include major household items such as microwaves, freezers, dishwash ers, sewing machines—or those installations which become real property (such as wall-to-wall carpeting, roofing, gardening, or built-in appliances) Exemptions are numerous clothing and footwear repairs, veterinarian services, motor vehicle towing and battery ser vicing, and personal services such as haircuts, dental work or dance lessons. According to Cull, “the extension of the provincial sales tax to include taxable ser vices brings the provincial tax into line with every other Canadian province with a sales tax except Saskatchewan, and with 23 American states. It is not a new tax.” A refund is available for labour services, purchased under contract, entered into before March 1993. These services must have been provided before Octo ber 1, 1994.

With the future of Castlegar, Trail arid Nelson hospitals at stake, territorial skirmishes have been Kept to a minimum when trying to decide who would provide secondary level care, and how that care would be delivered Until now, a Health Council, which included health officials from the communities concerned, have tactfully side-stepped the issue on who exactly would deliver those services, and with a gentle men's type agreement decided to work towards the health of the region as a whole, as opposed to the fealth of an individual city But a recent news article in the Trail Daily Times, and an quarter page advertisement taken out by the Trail Regional Hospital Board inviting the public to participate in discussion regarding the hospital's future as a regional facility, has added fuel to the fire, and, might in fact, jeopardize the final outcome In reference to the latest news articles, Castlegar and District Hospital Administrator, Ken Talarico, reinforced Castlegar Hospital's official position regarding secondary health care services. “It’s. unfortunate it's been dealt with in the man fer i has. It was, and is the hope of the Council to Comite up with % solution On delivering health ca which is in the best interests of the people of the West Kootenay. The terms of reference of the Advisory Council is to come up with a West Kootenay solution.” Talarico said that should the members of the Health Council fail to come to a satisfactory deci sion which is in the best interest of the people of the West Kootenay, thereby making it a regional deci- sion, the government could step in and make a polit ical decision which might not necessarily be in the best interests of the people The whole process can fall apart and then we'll get a political Ministry of Health solution. That might not necessarily be what meets the needs of the people.” Although Talarico doesn’t deny that the delivery of secondary services out of Castlegar would be a bonus for the community, he does insist that the first priority is to assure that the solution is a West Kootenay solution, as opposed to a district solution Talarico said that the issue is not which hospital receives regional status, but rather providing. ser- vices in a cost effective manner. We have to look at the most cost effective and accessible way to provide secondary level services to people in the West Kootenay.” Castlegar and District Hospital Board Chair, Mar- et Nickel, also emphasized the importance of meeting the medical needs of the people in the West Kootenay, and reaffirmed that no matter who. pro- vides secondary services, quality primary care will still be assured through the Castlegar Hospital “We have to meet the needs of people with pri- mary services. Primary care would be available in each community. Nickel adamantly supports Talarico’s commit- ment that the health care needs of the people take prionty over attaining regionalization Our priority is to have the Role Stity"Report ompleted and have a decision the people can live with. We're trying to make this a non-political process The role study is expected to be completed by October 19. 1993: however. Nickel cautions that the process in which the the study is then reviewed by the boards and agreed upon, might take up to six weeks. Joy ride ends in injury for youths A joy ride has turned bad for three Castlegar youths On September 22, a 1984 Dodge Omni was stolen from a residence in the 800 block of 10th Avenue'in Castleg On September 23 Castlegar RCMP received a call from the Chilliwack RCMP advising them that the car had been in a motor vehicle accident near Chilliwack The RCMP advised the Castle gar detatchment that a 15 year ger, a 15 year-old female was not old Castlegar male had been driving the vehicle when it left the road and rolled.

School vandalism carries high price At a School District No. 9 Board meeting held September 20, concern was raised by the trustees about the large amount of vandalism which has occurred over the summer in the district—$7,000 to be exact The largest expense was the cost of repairing windows which had been broken. Some of the windows had been shot at by a —Checkin’ it twice Dennis Hicks, from Ruskin Rail Contractors makes pedestrian walkways being installed at Pass Creek Bridge are s pellet or BB gun Chair, Gordon Turner, said funds to replace the windows will be taken from:the district's oper ating account, thus leaving les money available for for those who need it the most “These funds come directly received the most damage from our operating account.
