“Castlegar should
watch and learn

Financial difticulties being experienced by the Grand Forks and
District Aquatic Centre come at a very opportune time. They allow
local taxing authorities to monitor the situation, and learn from the
experiences of our Boundary neighbors.

The aquatic centre there is facing a $40,000 deficit for the year
because attendance figures are much lower than were Projected,
while $80,000 in equipment changes would allow some savings in
equipment operating costs

As well, operating hours have been cut drastically. When the
pool was opened in June 1986, the aquatic centre was open for 80
hours a week. They have been adjusted over the past year-and-a-
half to the present 52 hours. It’s only open on Saturdays and Sundays,
for example, for three hours from 1 to 4 p.m.

During the month of Ocfober 1987, an average of 143 people a
day used the pool. During October 1988, in contrast, only 99 people a
day used it. On the revenue side, ina good month the Grand Forks
and District Aquatic Centre generates $14,000 and this can justify a
70- to 80-hour schedule. This October, however, reverie was only

~$8,500

There may also be a bit of “which came first, the chicken or the
egg" problem at Grand Forks. A letter in a recent issue of the
Boundary Community News says “let's turn up the pool and turn on
the swimmers!” The letter writer says “kids turn blue after a half-
hour swim” and speculates that if the pool was turned up another 10
degrees there would likely be a lot more swimmers

Castlegar voters, and those in Electoral Areas | and J gave
tremendous support to our aquatic centre in October's vote. They
indicated clearly they wanted the centre, and are quite prepared to
Pay for it. Very few, we suggest, voted favorably not expecting an
operating deficit of manageable proportions. If we can learn
anything from Grand Forks’ unfortunate situation, we should,

Don't gild
the lily

Retiring Castlegar alderman Len Embree has always been
noted for speaking his mind. To him, a shovel is a shovel. It is not
“an oblong instrument of animal husbandry.”

During council's recent debate on paying the $3,500 site
Preparation costs for the new $2.2 million aquatic centre, many
aldermen — Embree included — wondered why the $3,500 wasn't
refundable from building bylaw monies at a later date or
backcharged. They felt site-clearing funds were quite legitimate,
and anticipated, building costs.

Mayor Audrey Moore's sentiments make sense to us, and did to
Mr. Embree, too, that the aquatic centre is being physically located
in our community and that of the three funding partners, “the city is
going to have a disproportionate benefit.

Responded Mr. Embree: “If the City-of Castlegar is going to tund
an extra $3,500 of the aquatic centre, then let's say that. | don't have
@ problem with that

Ald. Terry Rogers noted the parks and recreation committee is
having “some difficulties” with projected extra costs that may arise,
while Ald. Lawrence Chernoff disclosed that city staff is preparing a
play outlining the expected extra costs and how they might be
handled.

We suggest council take a lesson from its worthwhile debate
Don't try to gild the lily, If future costs come along that are to be
borne by Castlegar taxpayers alone (landscaping around the new
aquatic centre, for example) then be upfront about recognizing
them as costs being borne soley by Castlegar taxpayers.

As we said in the editorial above, few Castlegar taxpayers
went to the polls not éxpecting the aquatic centre to cost them
something above the referendum figure. However, we expect
council members to work diligently to hold those costs toa
minimum, and to spell them out clearly for us when they arise

Time fora
second look

Failure of the Raspberry-Robson Ferry Users Ad Hoc Committee
court battle to have the Castlegar-Robson ferry reinstated is a sad
day.

But with the court case now decided, the ball once again is in
the provincial government's court and the chance exists for a
favorable political decision.

It was just a little more than a month ago, on Sunday, Oct. 16,
that Premier Bill Vander Zalm personally visited the ferry. Not only
did he talk with representatives of the Ad Hoc Committee there, but
he also visited the CPR bridge and saw for himself the narrow
walkway across it and the steep banks that lead up to it.

It the premier wasn’t prepared to take a second look at the ferry
closure, why did he visit it? If he wasn't entertaining even the
possibility of reinstituting the service, why did he make comments to
local residents that gave rise to optimism?

We believe his inclination is to restart the ferry service.

Little local credit of a lasting political nature will accrue to the
government if it reinstates the ferry. Like government liquor store
employees who weren't privatized, the fear of what will happen
“after the next election” will always be there.

But fair-minded people throughout the Rossland-Trail riding and
the province will applaud the action, and hail a decision that was
made because it was “right,” and not because large numbers of
yotes would accrue because of it

Council should
look at priorities

Is it not time for the City of
Castlegar couneil to get its prior.
ities in order when spending tax
payers money?

Irefer to the $3,500 given easily to
clear a site for a swimming pool and
the studies to pay out the sum of

nearly $3,000 for the purchase of a
radar-set that would help to eurb
speeders and maybe help to keep
death off the road in Castlegar.

If it wasn’t so serious, it might
even be a joke.

U.S. ads could
tempt our business

Last April, the Financial Post
carried a quarter-page black and
white advertisement that was head
ed “138 Reasons To Do Business In
Georgia.” It was a well-put-together
ad run by the Georgia Department of
Industry and Trade, Toronto Domin
ion Center (sic), Ont., and I read it
carefully. It was of course a pitch to
attract industry to Georgia.

The first statistic given was “Can.
adian Investment here now totals
over $950 million US, more than any
other country. And Canadian com.

employ more than 11,000
Georgians.” Farther down I was told
why the Canada-Georgia connection
is so strong. It is “because your
(Canadian) neighboring firms find it
easy to get things done in a state
where the productivity growth of the
labor force is 36 per cent higher than
the U.S. average. Where the cost of
that labor is among the lowest in the
U.S. And where fewer than two in 10
workers belong to a labor union.”

I further learned that “Georgia's
government policies are highly posi
tive factors as well. We haven't
raised our corporate tax rate since
1969. We've developed a one. step
permit process that allows busi
nesses to start building in as little as
90 days. We even have a Quick Start
program that will train workers to
meet your specific needs — at no
cost.”

The ad goes on to tell us that

“you'll feel right at home in Georgia
— you have a consulate there, as well
as four Canadian banks.” If all this
isn’t enough we are invited to mail in
a coupon to get more facts and
figures showing why doing business
in Georgia makes so much sense.

My interest was aroused and I took
steps to get the promotional package.
This turned out to be a 730-gram
bundle of brochures printed on the
finest of heavy, high-gloss paper; one
of the brochures was in the metric
format.

Like the advertisement that had
caught my eye, the material is well
put together: it gives a good over
view of business conditions in Geo.
rgia, although I must assume that
like most promotional literature it
must be read with a critical eye.
Even so, it does provide an overview
of economic conditions in Georgia, al
beit a view from a particular position.

There are glowing reports of
almost enlightened educational sys.
tem which receives “more than half
of all state revenues and more than
60 per cent of all new funds available
for appropriation each year.” Run
ning through all the material is a
common thread: the low cost of doing
business. Lowest electricity costs,
lowest average hourly earnings, low:
est construction costs, the ability to
“delay, reduce or sometimes com
pletely eliminate customs duties on
imported items” through the use of
Georgi’s Foreign Trade Zones, are

among the advantages cited. The
package is well worth the time it
takes to read it.

The advertising must be working.
This morning I started reading my
Globe and Mail Report on Business
magazine. On page two, there is an
ad very similar to the one that piqued
my interest in the Financial Post last
April, but this time on high-gloss
paper, and in two colors. Much of the
text is the same but with the
statistics brought up to date. The
most interesting of these is the value
of Canadian investment. In April,
this had been shown as $950 million
U.S. In the current advertisement
this has become “over $1.1 billion
US,” some $150 million US greater,
an increase of over 15 per cent in six
months.

This is not the way it is supposed
to be. What I want to know is, what
are we going to do to persuade the
members of our business community
that it is to their advantage to build
and operate their facilities here in
the country that has spawned and
nurtured them? What are we going
to do to convince others that there
are advantages to building and pro-
ducing here in Canada, and that our
country must not be regarded as only
a treasure house of raw materials
and a dumping around for the goods
spewed out by longer production
runs?

Military money

should

In the Nelson Daily News on the
front page, it was reported that “US
unveils a stealth bomber.” The word
“stealth” sounds pretty sinister and
is derived from the word “steal,”
which means taking something that
does not belong to you. Hardly a
noble or a positive deed. In the
animal kingdom, one animal steal
thily stalks the other animal, its
prey. In a human society such prac.
tice would be deemed immoral and
unbecoming.

Further, the report states: “Gen.
Larry Welch, the air force chief of
staff, said the plane's ability to slip
through radar at all altitudes to
deliver its payload of nuclear bombs
represents a potent deterrent to
those who might attack the United
States.”

“It's stealth capability will permit
it to penetrate the most sophisticated
air defences and survive well into the
2i1st century,” Welch said.

The above words of the U.S.
military raises several questions:
Who are the Americans at war with
today? Who might attack the United
States? Countries of Central Ameri.
ca? It is the United States that is
sending the contras there. South
America, Asia, Africa?

All above countries are poor and
hungry, are preoccupied with their
own problems and have no need nor
ability to attack the United States.
All European countries had their fill
of tragedies during the Second World
War.

ment, they have no interest or inten

Comments

appall

When approached to make a video
in support of the then-proposed pool
referendum I did so because of the
strong feeling of “community” I have
for our area.

It is now beginning to appear,
however, that this feeling of com
munity flows from the rural areas to
the city, with little or no movement
from the city to the regions. That is,
unless they need our support for
something such as the pool, we're a
non-issue.

reader

It is in this context I find the
remarks by Ald. Patti Richards very
disconcerting. To say “I don’t think
our community as a whole supports
the ferry,” is a slap in the face to all
rural residents who have “supported
the city over the years. Maybe next
time the city wants support from

rebuilding tasks and problems and is
very unlikely to be planning to attack
the United States.

Mr. Gorbachev of the Soviet Union
is concerned and preoccupied with
preventing the catastrophe that
could and would destroy everything
on this planet, including the United
States and the Soviet Union. If Mr.
Welch would have the same con-
cerns, there would be no need to
spend astronomical sums of money
for sophisticated weapons, thereby
needlessly increasing the national
debts of any country, while its poor
people suffer.

In our approach to the 2ist
century, the military and its greedy
industrial complex should abandon
their morbid mentality and let the
civilian authorities do something
more constructive and useful for
their people. There is lots to be done.
There is already too much pain and
tears in the poor peoples’ eyes all
over the world caused by the mili
tary. The cries of pain is the voice of
God. Let's heed that voice.

B.C. political scene
stumps Robson resident

The political scene in B.C. has
really stumped me.

Moving here from Alberta some 10
years ago, I have a hard time under-
standing the political thinking of the
people in this province.

When we first arrived, we were
taken aback by all the “anti” dem-
onstrations — almost a monthly oc-
currence. It was as though we had
moved to a foreign country.

One particular group of picket-
bearing protesters against pollution
simply littered our downtown street
in Nelson with food wrappers from
lunches eaten while protesting.

It seems to me that the first place
we need to clean up the pollution is in
our own homes — cigarettes, drugs,
ete.

Then, too, I am amazed at how
British Columbians pick their next
MP. It seems to me that just about
anyone could win the seat provided
they ran under the NDP ticket. Per.

formance, ethics, ete., are never
taken into account, nor are the bene-
fits to our community taken into con-
sideration.

Of yes, and the free-trade bit. My
own sister-in-law, a staunch New
Democrat in Saskatchewan, is
against free trade, understandably.
But oh, how she can line up all the
goodies she bought from North
Dakota at such bargains; she never
buys any of those items locally be-
cause she can go across the border
twice a year and stock up.

Does that sound familiar?

My husband and I just finished
building our new home in the Robsgn
area and not one item was purchased
across the line. We saw a built-in
toaster in Spokane and had a local
firm order one for us.

All local businesses received our
construction dollars. Yet, we are in
favor of free trade.

I see a lot of our anti-free traders

making big purchases in the U.S.,
taking their well-earned Canadian
dollars across the line instead of
supporting the local economy.

By the way, did you notice how the
value of our dollar increased after the
Progressive Conservative win? So,
thanks to the PC government, you
are able to get more value for the
dollar when you purchase items
across the line.

I strongly feel by our election
results that we have bitten the hand
that fed us.

Thanks, Bob Brisco, for a great
four years of unfailing service to our
constituency. There are a lot of

ople in-this community-who appre-
ciate wHiat you did’ for your riding
despité your health problems.

but rest on the laurels of your
complishments as they speak for

Adversarial attitudes
are unfortunate

From time to time, we are given
lectures on the advantages of send
ing to Ottawa, or to Victoria, a

member who will sit on the govern

ment side of the House. In the past
few days we have had this point of
view presented to us in the editorial
pages of our local press, and far more
egregiously by Don Blenkarn, chair
man of the Finance Committee in the
last Commons, and re-elected Con-
servative member for Mississauga
South.

Mr. Blenkarn’s remarks on the
treatment Ottawa voters can expect
in retaliation for their temerity in
turfing out Conservatives and re
placing them with Liberals come
close to being incredible. If Mr.
Blenkarn does indeed speak for his
party, we who have not voted the
“right” way are in for a rough four
years.

However, I do not believe that Mr.
Blenkarn does speak for his party.
Rather, I do believe that he is
speaking from a position of woeful
lack of understanding of the way our
political system is designed to oper-

It is unfortunate that we have
come to see our parliamentary
system as adversarial, and to think
so little about how it works, and how
is should work.

The reason for having a party or
parties in opposition is not to provide
categorical opposition to the point of
obstruction to every move made by
the governing party. Rather it is to
provide a devil's advocate to help
everyone examine the issue at hand
from all viewpoints and so arrive at
something approaching consensus.

People more learned than I have
told me that this device can be traced
back to the days of the great phil-
osophers of classical Greece where it
was used as a mechanism to aid in
examining propositions to discover
the truth.

If all of us, private citizens as well
as MPs and MLAs of all parties, will
pay attention to the merits of an
issue and not be slaves to party
ideology, our parliamentary system
can be made to work much better
than it does.

No plowing,

Re: Marilyn Strong’s excellent
letter concerning lack of snow
plowing at Pass Creek.

A very simple solution would be a
school board policy of: No Plowing —
No Buses!

A lot of children, dear to me, are on
that bus and I shudder to think of
them being tossed around in an
out-of-control school bus careening
down an embankment toward Pass
Creek.

This, of course, must apply to all
buses from outlying districts.

Implement this policy now. To-

-rain fight

for legislation this year to drama-
tically cut acid-rain-eausing emis-
sions.

“There has not been sufficient
willingness to compromise this year
and as a result we will do nothing,”
said the slim, bespectacled Mitchell,
then chairman of the Senate sub-
committee on environmental protec-
tion.

“In the meantime, the health of
more American children will suffer,
more lakes will die and more forests
will wither.”

To win the Senate leadership,
Mitchell defeated Bennett Johnston,
56, of Louisiana and Daniel Inouye,
64, of Hawaii.

Neither had shown interest in
acid-rain legislation, so Mitchell's
victory was cheered by environ-
mentalists.

He inherits a full plate of pressing
issues — all likely to be overshad-
owed by the budget and trade
deficits.

And hanging over the relationship
between the Democrat-controlled
Congress and Republican president-
elect George Bush is bitterness over
what Democrats see as Bush's dirty
campaign.

Mitchell's win is a testament to his
personal popularity and the desire of
many democrats for a fresh face as
the party's chief spokesman on Capi-
tol Hill.

Mitchell is credited with helping
fashion the 11 Democratic victories
that returned the Senate to Demo-
cratic control in 1986. The majority
rose to 55 this Nov. 8.
