PAVING LTD. Ferry a ‘dead issue,’ Dirks says By SIMON BIRCH Editor Reinstatement of ferry service between Castlegar and Robson is a ‘dead issue,'’ Minister of State for Kootenay Howard Dirks said Tuesday However, the minister said he is trying to promote the idea of a ‘‘fixed link" across the Columbia Rive: between the two towns First of all, it was a Cabinet decision to close the ferry,"’ Dirks said in response to media questions on Shaw Cable's live Open Line show Tuesday night. ‘Secondly, it was reconsidered by Cabinet and again Cabinet turned it down and therefore that really is more of a dead issue. **After it’s been to Cabinet twice ... then it’s good to look for alternatives and that is basically what I've tried to do.” Casucgur Vol. 41, No Asked if his remarks mean the government considers the ferry a closed issue and there's no way the governmer will reinstate the ferry service, Dirks replied **Yeah, as far as the ferry’s concerned I think that's a fair statement and that's why I’m trying to look for an alternative Dirks tied the need for an alternative to the ferry with the City’of Castlegar’s desire for a bypass of Columbia Avenue to decrease truck traffic through the city, saying that a “fixed link"’ — or bridge — between Castlegar and Robson would solve both problems What I've been trying to do is work with the Ministry of Highways and promote the idea of a fixed link between Robson and Castlegar because | think that would take the place of a bypass. Dirks said the government has been looking at the costs of such an alternative but hinted it may be’ awhile before any project begins **When you start anew process like that it takes time to putit into place,” the minister said “But certainly I’m trying to ,work for a positive solution to it rather than simply trying to revisit something that Cabinet has already looked at once and turned down and then revisited and turned down again,” he added, referring to the ferry service. Dirks fielded a wide range of questions from the media and callers on the show, including questions about recently announced! grants in lieu of taxes B.C. Hydro-will pay to municipalities and regional districts in B.C. on the Crown utility's dams and reservoirs He said the grants are an attempt to put B.C. Hydro on 60 Cents sunny and warm with highs in the mid to upper 20s. Probability of precipitation is 40 per cent tonight, 50 per cent on Thursday and 20 per cent on Friday CASTLEGAR, BRITISH COLUMBIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 31 an ‘‘equal playing field" throughout B.C. However, he agreed a privately owned utility such as West Kootenay Power may consider it is being treated unfairly compared to B.C. Hydro. WKP pays taxes on the assessed value of its properties. However, the B.C. HUro grants are based on the number of megawatts each of its dams produces or is capable of producing if generators have yet to be installed, such as at the Hugh Keenleyside dam near Castlegar. Hydro will pay $250 per megawatt this year and $500 per megawatt next year on its dams and reservoirs Shaw Cable will repeat the show tonight at 8 p.m., Friday at noon and Sunday at 6:30 p.m. on cable Channel 10 inthe Castlegar area WEATHERCAST oudy with chance of thundershowers.

Forestry workers expressed concern that the resolution, if accepted later at the party convention, would mean that more than 13 per cent of B.C. forests might be taken for! parkland and forestry jobs would be lost due to the moratorium “We all love parks,"’ one delegate “*But they shouldn’t come at the expense of jobs.”” Task force listens to needs in social services By CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Staff Writer A shortage of money and confusion over how the social service system works in B.C. were two of the themes that ran through the 19 briefs presented during a five-hour meeting n social services Monday night in Castlegar, government services task force chairman and Mayor of Creston Lela Irvine said Tuesday The presentations were ‘“‘absolutely excellent’’ and a report to the regional advisory group, the task force’s parent body, will be-easy to write because of the common threads in the briefs, Irvine said. A number of Castlegar groups and individuals made submissions, including the Kootenay Society for the Han- dicapped (Castlegar Branch), Castlegar Community Ser- vices and the Kootenay Columbia Child Care Society which runs Hobbit Hill Children’s Centre. Katrine Conroy, coordinator for the child care society, presented a brief that pinpointed infant care, various types of therapy, wages for day-care workers and funding as areas that need to be worked on. Castlegar needs a family support worker and a speech therapy centre since children must now go to Trail or NDP argues about forests A member of the International cy Woodworkers of America said mills are being shut down because of a shor- tage of timber and further reductions in logging areas will lead to more lost matters March, Environmentalists said the moratorium would be used to gain time for discussion of the issue and pointed out the resolution is “not writ ten in stone.”” That resolution, along with a resolution passed on the creation of a standing committee on the environ ment, was sent to the party’s Provin cial Council which discusses emergen delegates forests ** cludes compliance” prisonment As well, The winning Tuesday in the B.C.

By CasNews Staff Cross your fingers today’s sunny warm weather lastg.a few more days because it’s that time of year again when Castlegar residents shed the drab drowsiness of winter and welcome visitors to the annual Sunfest This year’s theme is Pioneer Days so don’t be sur- prised to see some people wandering the streets in old- year. between the meetings of the party All other resolutions passed will be discussed at the party convention in chairman jobs (MLA for Kootenay) reminded the The delegates passed 32 resolutions which included support for the rein statement of the ferry and support for legislation on that is, enforceable’ “appropriate enforcement measures and penalties for non- such as fines or im delegates resolution calling Highways staff to resume the respon sibilities of highway The Social Credit privatized highways maintenance last The delegates resolution that called for the party to develop legislation public plebiscite prior to the sale or privatization of a publicly owned or regulated asset or service."’ In defeating the resolution, the delegates who spoke against it said it Nelson for speech therapy, she told the task force. There should be more funding for physiotheraphy and therapists need easier access to government-accredited training centres for skill upgrading, Conroy said The provincial government should consider providing operating grants for non-profit day care centres the way other provinces do, she said. “Before restraint hit this province, fundraising was done to purchase extras, such\as playground equipment and larger expensive toys,’ Conroy said. ‘‘Now fun- draising is carried out to maintain the status quo. Com- munities are beginning to feel the strain of constantly being pressured to give.”” She said day-care workers’ wages must be raised, poin- ting out a Vancouver zoo keeper makes about $3 more an hour than a senior supervisor at a Vancouver day-care cen- tre. Rural day-care workers make far less, Conroy added. Cathy Lafortune, whose 16-year-old son Jeff -is severely mentally and physically disabled, made a personal presentation on the need for respite care which allows the family of a disabled child a break from the constant atten- tion that child demands. continued on page A2 CasNews to help students By CasNews Staff Are you a student looking for a summer job, but haven't had any luck?

Sunfest 89 gets underway was an unnecessary measure since an NDP government would never sell off or privatize public services The passing of the resolutions, for mulated in Saturday workshops, was the wrap-up to the weekend conferen: ce that saw several hundred Kootenay area delegates participate in discussions and listen to speeches by party leader Mike Harcourt and a number of shadow cabinet members. The Creston meeting was the second of seven regional conferences being conducted around the province and set to wind up in Victoria in November. wons that make i to the an- nual meeting in March and are passed by the whole party will become part of NDP policy. Kooteney-West Revelstoke MP Lyle Kristiansen says he is turned off by Shaw Cable's decision to offer expan- ded basic television service to its customers without first aren their approval “This is an unsolicited additional service that many have objected to receiving without prior approval,”’ Kristiansen said in a prepared news release. ‘*Since we didn’t ask for it, we have no legal obligation to pay for it, and Shaw Cable can simply disconnect it when they have time to do so. Until then, use it if you choose. Shaw Cable ineroduced the expan- ded service — which includes The Sports Network and MuchMusic continued on pege A2
