B.C. Hydro’s net
income for 1992
is up 6.3 per cent
from last year’s
figures. The
Crown
corporation
reports a net
revenue of $220
million in its
annual report.
Despite the
numbers, B.C.
Hydro’s chairman
has still voiced
concern about a
reduction of
finance charges.

John Perry keeps an eye on the sky and
both feet on the ground.

Castlegar’s airport manager has
overseen some rehabilitation projects to
improve operations at the airport.

Approximately $2 million dollars was
spent on paving the runway from June to
September. ;

“It was a two-phase project, done entirely
at night,” Perry said. “The first was
recycling the existing asphalt and the
second was the application of new asphalt.”

In addition, the taxiway and apron were
also rebuilt, but there’s more.

“There’s some touch up to be done yet =
Pery said. “Some new line painting on the
apron and a seal coat, a protective coating
from gas leaks and such from eating up the
pavement.” , .

As airport manager, one of Perry’s duties
is to identify the the work that needs to be
done.

Does that mean passengers can count on
their flight being able to land at the
airport? “To a certain degree,” Perry said.

improvement. The ODALS should improve
that situation, but how many more planes

EARLY
FROST

An early frost is
being blamed for
destroying 1.4
million tonnes of
Canadian wheat.
As a result, some
industry officials
feel Canada
could have some
problems
meeting
customer
demand for top-
grade grain.
John Thiessen, a
country
operations
manager in the
prairies, stated
that only 12 per
cent of the grain
his company
collects this year
will be top-quality
compared to 41
per cent for a
normal year.

“I represent the landlord,” Perry joked.
Being with Transport Canada, that

landlord is the federal government.

A possible new development that will be
welcomed by local air travellers is an Omni
Directional Approach Lighting System,

called ODALS.

Castlegar, infamous for its grounded
flights from bad weather, could possibly see

a light at the end of the tunnel.

“The ODALS will assist aircraft during
bad weather conditions — low visibility, low

ceiling,” Perry said.

“A line of five lights will extend from the
south end of the runway and flash in

sequence,”

The lights will not be on the runway, but

rather point towards it — much like an

arrow.

priority list to have the equipment
approved next year. :

In the meantime, the airport continues to
try out some pet projects, such as a small
recycling program.

Perry says for about three months now,
some tenants at the airport have pitched in
to reduce the paper waste.

get to vote on whether or not
you want to spend $1.7 million
for a new RCMP building in
Castlegar.

In 16 days you will also get
to vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on the
Charlottetown Accord.

This means after you come
home from work, make dinner,
drive the kids to piano lessons,
do the laundry and pick up the
kids again you have to find
time to inform yourself.

Assuming you allow yourself
a total media blackout on non-
referendum material, you still
have a lot of ground to cover.

The RCMP building debate
goes further than saying we do
or don’t need a new one.

You’ve got to question why
we're being told we need it.
You’ve; got to find out how

much it will cost you and
whether you want to fork it
over. You also have to ask what
would happen without a new
RCMP building.

If you head to the polls
armed with answers to all
these questions, your research
is still incomplete.

The RCMP building
referendum is being held in
conjunction with the
byelection. And you can’t stroll
in knowing something about
one and nothing about the
other.

Of dinner, laundry, referendums and an RCMP building

That means now you have to
bring yourself up to speed on
what each of the byelection
candidates have to say.

We’ve got three very
different people running with
three very different opinions of
how things should be done
around here. And there’s only
seven days to go, remember.

Are you going to vote for a
candidate you’ve never talked
to before? Whose face you’ve
only seen in the newspaper?

These are nefarious times at
city council these days. With all
the talk about lack of
accountability and poor
communication from city hall,
you have a chance to make
some changes through your
vote,

Hopefully, after the
byelection, you'll still have’ the
energy to make it through the
national referendum on the
constitutional package.

You’ve got a 36-page legal
document you're expected to
digest. Well, expect to wade
through statements like this:

“The Constitution Act, 1867
is amended by adding thereto,
immediately after Section 1
thereof, the following section...”

Not exactly something that
can be read whilst in the
bathroom.

Still, it doesn’t change the
fact Oct. 26 will be a day that
will go down in Canadian
history. Your children will be
studying the aftermath of the
referendum long after you and
I are gone.

Forget the people whose only
request is that you come out
and vote. As far as I’m
concerned you're obligated.

What I ask for, friends and
neighbors, is 16 days of
diligence.

Persevere, educate yourself
and bring an HB pencil.
