It marked a tur- ning point for the annual three-day summer celebration. It was the year Suntest truly came of age. Perhaps the most noticeable dif- ference in Suntest ‘87 was the level of enthusiasm displayed by volun- teers, spectators and participants. it was evident at almost every event and it was impossible not to get caught up in. There were a number of reasons for the success of Sunfest ‘87, among them the change in the date from late July to early June. It was a simple change that produced surprising results. It not only meant more participants in events like the Suntest parade, but it also meant more residents who were usually on vacation in July could attend the events. But perhaps the greatest single reason for the festival's success was the Sunfest Committee and the many volunteers who helped stage the various events. They worked tong and hard to make Sunfest ‘87 a hit — and it was. They deserve our thanks. Best of all is what lies ahead. Marilyn Strong, the Suntest C mittee publicity chairman, is quite right when she points out that having seen the level of success this year, next year's Sunfest should be even easier to organize. BCTF salvo off mark The B.C. Teachers’ Federation may or may not be right when it says this year's provincial examin- ations should have been cancelled because the credibility of the grades given will be compromised by the lack of qualified markers. But one thing is certain, and that is the Federation's poor timing. It couldn't have raised the Provincial exam issue at a worse time — for the students, not the provincial government Students in the Castlegar school district began writing their Ron Norman I could tell Sunfest '87 was going to be a hit the moment I sat down to write a “preview” story for the paper the Wednesday before Sun fest weekend. A preview story gives readers an idea of the acti vities they might want to take in during a major event like Sunfest. The trouble with this Sunfest was there were so many activities — a lot of them new — that I had difficulty fitting all of them in the article. And as it turned out, couldn't mention everything — that’s how much went on during Sunfest °87. Other Sunfests have had lots of activities, though perhaps not quite as many as this year. But what made this year's Sunfest such a success was the quality of the acti. vities. It also helped that there was a major attraction. I've said before that Sunfest needs a major spec tator event on which it can tag all the other smaller activities. It found that event this year in the Kiwanis Club's first annual demolition derby. The derby was a huge hit by any standards, attracting more than 30 entries and some 2,000 spectators Admittedly, there were problems staging the derby (the field was too muddy because it was watered down just before the derby, it took too long to get the races started, and the powder puff event is best left to the end). But this was only a first attempt and Kiwanians have pledged to correct any prob- lems and make next year's derby even better. The derby provides real action for spectators — especially young peo- ple to whom some of the other Sun fest activities just don't appeal. And the derby follows on the heels of another spectator favorite: the Sunfest parade. This year's parade was the best I've seen in my half dozen years in Castlegar The parade was pure fun — just what a parade should be — and the quality of the entries was superb. The seven bands in particular were a wonderful addition. Perhaps the only suggestion I'd make is that the parade needs more clowns. Clowns add to the festive atmosphere and provide a link between the various bands and provincial exams Thursday, the same day the BCTF decided it was time to blow the whistle on the exams’ credibility. If the BCTF made the announce- ment as a potshot at the provincial government, its aim was way off. Instead, the salvo hit the students, especially those who have the most to lose, the graduating stu- dents. The BCTF could have made their point either after the students had finished writing the exams or long before they began writing them. floats. It is also great to see that al though Sunfest has changed (for the better) in many ways, it hasn't changed its primary focus on com- munity participation. Some 1,000 people took part in the parade, a large number of people entertained on 3rd Street and all kinds of kids got a chance to take part in the frog jumping championships and the kids’ Olympics Sunday afternoon. Adults also had their chance to par ticipate in either the slowpitch tournament (28 teams and more than 300 players) and the lawn bocce tournament. To tie it all nicely together was the rainbows and roses theme. The Sunfest Committee must still sit down and decide if it will retain the theme next year or adopt a different theme every year. I can't imagine dropping the rainbows and roses theme. How much better can you get? Before it makes a decision, the committee should contact the Castlegar Selkirk Lions Club. It would find out how difficult it is to come up with a good theme year after year. Some work and some don't. I'd stick with rainbows and roses until it quits working. And the annual Sunfest queen pageant was one of the best I've seen. The candidates were excellent and the event was well run. I have only two suggestions: Provide a wider variety of musical entertain ment, and ditch the swimsuit com petition Jim Waldie did a nice job singing some Broadway show tunes, but the many young people in the audience would have also appreciated some. thing a little hipper The swimsuit competition simply doesn't belong in the pageant. Time and again during the pageant it was mentioned how the queen and prin. cesses are “ambassadors” of Castle. gar. But when was the last time you saw an ambassador parade up and down in a swimsuit? These young women are only 16 and. 17 and will never appear in a swimsuit in public on behalf of the city, unless they choose to enter the Miss Interior of B.C. pageant. It just doesn't. make sense they should have to appear in a swimsuit in the Castlegar pageant “TN AFRAID THE TIME LIAS COME TO SIT PARTY DISCIPLINE AND TALK ABOUT Your Letters to the Editor Letter ‘misleading’ Canada Post's latest public relations exercise (General Manager Mike Gor- ‘ick’s May 31 letter to the editor) insults and seriously misleads your readers. The only “campaign of attention seeking tactics and misinfor- mation” to which rural people have been “exposed” is that by Canada Post itself. It is not surprising Mr. Gormick's phrases are tired and empty; his copy comes directly from what must be a well-worn word-processing disc shared by the offices of the Harvie Andre and Canada Post. Between February and May 1987 I have seen this same letter, opening paragraph modified as needed in Newfoundland all Maritime provinces, Quebec, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia. It is the standard reply sent to the thousands of genuine inquiries made by responsible MPs, town councils, citizens’ groups, worried employees and individuals who care about the quality of life and the economy in rural areas. Now Canada Post has stepped up its campaign of false reassurance be sending this message to such papers as yours and circulating tabloids (The Mail), published and distributed at taxpayers’ expense. I urge your readers to be alert to the intentions hidden behind the smooth phrases of Canada Post communica tions, After denying any policy exists “to effect widespread closures of rural offices,” the letter goes on to state that “postal product outlets will be expanded” over the next 10 years or more. How will this be achieved? By “changing the method or location of postal services, using the resources of local private business.” Translated into plain English, this means that hundreds of rural post offices will be replaced by supermail boxes for delivery services and by stamp outlets or franchised offices for retail services. Going to the village post office to collect your mail and to meet your neighbors will, like the steam train engine, be a thing of the past. Canada Post is telling us we in rural Canada are obsolete. Historical examples exist of plans being in print, on paper for the world to see, yet no one believing they could ever be implemented until it was too late. This plan exists on paper. (See Canada Post's business plan, 1986-91, Appendix 2, p. 4, “Operational Guide- lines to be Considered for Rural Post Office Amalgamations”) This plan is being implemented. We must act while we still have time. The five-year plan divides the 5,221 rural post offices into two main categories. The 3,500 larger offices (serving populations greater than 1,000 — or more than 75 points of call) will be sold off to private business and the remaining 1,700 will be replaced by supermail boxes and, “where feasible”, stamp outlets. Canada Post tries to sweeten the pill by saying this will happen slowly, over the next five to 10 years. Their directors might suffer from short-term thinking. We. rural Canadians do not. When we plant trees and patiently enrich our soil, it's because we intend to be here in 10 years’ time. We grow and plan and build for our children and for our grandchildren. We care as much for the post office of the future as of tomorrow. We demand continued employment not only for our postmas- ters, but for their daughters and sons. Canada Post is saying they don't believe we're going to be living in the country in five or 10 years’ time. Thousands of Canadians are fighting the five-year plan by signing petitions, supporting resolutions and, particular- ly important, telling our MPs to represent our interests in Ottawa. The next time you receive Canada Post's standard reply, write back requesting an honest answer, with original language, from a real person. Cynthia Patterson A representative of Rural Dignity of Canada, a non-partisan national _ citizens’ group, working to protect small post offices Tax hike a shock Like many homeowners in B.C. I was shocked and angered by the large increase in my homeowner tax for 1987. My tax went up $291 or a whopping 31 per cent! I expected an increase but this is ridiculous. Upon phoning city hall to protest, I was told to phone the Regional District of Central Kootenay in Nelson, or to complain to the school board. It seems to me everyone is passing the buck. Apparently, much of the tax increase is due to the removal of a machinery tax for large corporations. Why should the little guy pick up this tab? Recent: ly, these large companies like Celgar Pulp and Westar Timber and Crest- brook Forest Products, have been posting huge profits. It seems that whoever is to blame will force the average wage earner to give up owning a decent dwelling. Only the large wage earners and the wealthy will eventually be owners of nice homes. Is this province turning into another South Africa? Let's get together and blast this latest tax increase. Len Donald Castlegar jows Reflecting the trend in the Rossland- Trail riding and in much of the province as a whole, voters of Kinnaird, Castle- gar and Robson gave the largest num- ber of their first choices to the Social Credit candidate Robert E. Sommers in last Thursday's provincial election. Who will represent Rossland-Trail in the next legislature is still not deter- mined, however, as no one of the four candidates in the field gained an absolute majority of first choices. It will not be determined until July 3 when the second and third counts are made. . . Castlegar and Kinnaird residents voted in favor of sale of liquor by the glass; and at the same time expressed themselves against daylight saving time in the plebiscite held in conjunc- tion with the provincial election last Thursday. In Castlegar 357 voters marked “Yes” in answer to the liquor question and 257 marked “No.” . . Castlegar will have a new jewellery store next week. Mr. Leo Bosse, jewe- ller and watchmaker has announced he will open a shop on Columbia Avenue. 25 YEARS AGO From the June 14, 1962 News Twin brothers Tony and Terry Dal- ton shared top honors yesterday after- noon at the annual Stanley Humphries secondary school awards day program. The two brothers were jointly awarded the Stanley Humphries award, emblematic of scholastic ability, good school citizenship and active par- ticipation in all school activities. . . Attorney-General Robert Bonner “is certainly well acquainted with the terrorism situation,” the Castlegar Chamber of Commerce was told last night. Reporting on a meeting held by the Chamber's executive with Mr. Bonner, Chamber president S.C. Muirhead said the meeting was very amiable. . * The people of British Columbia — “You and I” — have spent nearly $7 million on th eengineering for the High Arrow, Duncan and Mica Creek dams, Attorney-General Robert Bonner tolda coffee party at the Castleaird Plaza yesterday afternoon. Mr. Bonner said the Columbia River treaty is being held up not because of the government of British Columbia “but because of the government of Canada.” 15 YEARS AGO From the June 22, 1972 News A preliminary agreement to transfer the ini: ion of the i school in Nelson to Selkirk College will be signed Monday in a formal cere- mony in the main lounge of the college. Signing for the provincial govern- ment will be Education Minister Donald Brothers, and with him will be A.E. Soles former principal of Selkirk. . 8 « The curling club is going on its own to build a new rink with the hope that this move will speed up the proposed referendum on a new arena. NEW BRUNSWICK WOODCUTTERS Machines replace men By CHRIS MORRIS BATHURST,yN.B. — The 20th century has caught up with Gerry Hachey. tf Lumbering in the woods of northern New Brunswick was his grandfather's life and his father's life. Hachey, 48, has been a woodcutter for 33 years, but he is uneasy about his son's future. The forest is just about all that's available to people like Hachey and it has always managed to give them some kind of a living. But more and more the big machines are replacing men in the woods, rolling over the futures of people like Hachey. Fear and frustration are evident in this bilingual northeastern New Bruns wick city where members of the Wood cutters’ Association have been block ading a road to stop the delivery of wood to the giant Consolidated-Bath: urst pulp and paper mill. The men, who began their protest nearly three weeks ago, want more money for the wood they cut for the mill and they want better working conditions in the woods. Despite a court injunction ordering thém to stop interfering with the operations of Consolidated-Bathurst, the woodsworkers have given no indi cation of abandoning their protest Pulp trucks were only able to get in and out of Consolidated-Bathurst after police arrived on the scene. The first trucks passed by the angry demonstrators through a mist of tear gas fired into the crowd by squads of club-wielding riot police. At least 35 people were arrested, but the police action only stiffened the woodcutters’ resolve. Just below the surface of these im mediate tensions lies the spectre of an industry that no longer guarantees a future for woodcutters. “Our fathers did the same thing — they never got out of it and we're here because they were so poor,” says Hachey. “It's a vicious circle. We can't get out and the companies know that.” ‘Most woodcutters work only 10 weeks — long enough to collect unemployment insurance’ Hachey, his brother Xavier and the 500 or so association members staging the protest are taking a stand They call themselves poor people and they say they've been pushed around long enough by the mills and the independent contractors who buy their wood. They say that when they're in the woods they sleep in tents, eat cold food out of tins and get paid about $300 a week for their back-breaking labor. They are self-employed and they sell their wood to contractors who in turn sell it to mills where it is ground down to pulp or refined into paper. The huge, lumbering mechanical harvesters brought into New Bruns- wick by Quebec woodsworkers can do the work of hundreds of men in the woods — and the machines can't complain. The uncertainty of their futures and the poor wages causes anguish in the families of woodcutters. Most woodcutters only work 10 weeks — long enough to collect unem ployment insurance. Hachey says some make deals with contractors to work 20 weeks, cramming the pay into 10 weeks so they can collect higher unem- ployment benefits. “T've seen guys work for nothing — they get $50 a week — in order to get ‘the big stamps’ as they call them,” says Gerry Hachey. Hachey, a soft-spoken Acadian, has been unemployed since last fall. “Now I'm getting $206 a week on un. employment — that’s a lot better than I do cutting in the woods.” Hachey's 20-year-old son is also a woodcutter. Hachey says that when you live in northern New Brunswick where the Unemployment Insurance Commission is the major source of income, there's not much else to do. “There's no industry here,” explains Hachey. “That's why we're not getting paid — there are too many cutters, all guys like me and my boy who quit school early and who can’t do anything else. We have to go in the woods.” (Canadian Press) A del appeared before both Castlegar and Kinnaird councils Tues- day night to formally inform the alder- men of their proposals and to seek a guarantee from the towns on an $80,000 bank loan. . . A public memorial service will be held this evening in the Selkirk College lounge for Ald. James Malcolm Mac- Beth who died suddenly Friday morn- ing at the Castlegar and District Hos- pital. Both Castlegar and Kinnaird town councils Tuesday night paused for a minute's silence out of respect to the late alderman. 5 YEARS AGO From the June 13, 1982 Castlegar News Castlegar and District Hospital's es- timated deficit for this year ending March 31, 1982 will be approximately $12,200. Hospital society treasurer Nick Oglow, in his report at the board's annual meeting Thursday night said financial statements this year show a deficit of $53,364 prior to any confirm ed year-end adjustments. . 8 « A motion by Kootenay West MP Lyle Kristiansen to have the House of Commons recognize the Buy Canadian Buy Union economic program in Castlegar and Trail was defeated this week when it failed to receive the required unanimous consent The Buy Canadian Buy Union pro- gram is supported by the Steelworkers Local 480, Kootenay Savings Credit Union and two North American car dealerships, Maloney Pontiac GMC motors in Castlegar and Speedway Motors in Trail. ‘SILENCE THE SECRETTO A LONG CAREER By VIC PARSONS OTTAWA — What's the secret to a long parliamentary career? According to some politicians of notable success, it's silence. That news came from the lips of Alvin Hamilton, the veteran Conservative from Qu’ Appelle-Moose Mountain, who this week marked the 30th anniversary of his first election to the Commons. Not that Hamilton, once northern affairs and agriculture minister in the cabinet of John Diefenbaker, was ever noted for his brevity of speech. The h has a jon as a creative thinker who does not hesitate to outline his ideas in great detail to those who would lend an ear. Lately, however, Hamilton has not spoken often, and in reply to the Commons tributes Wednesday he cited the Capital Notebook cases of two parliamentarians who made a virtue of silence during their political careers. One was Bob McGregor, a Conservative who was first elected to the Commons in 1926 for the Toronto-area riding of York South and won nine elections before falling by the wayside in 1962. Hamilton recalls that when McGregor's 30th anniversary as an MP was being marked, his colleagues shouted “Speech, Bob, speech” because he had never made a speech in 30 years. McGregor rose and said: “If you guys would speak a lot less you would last a lot longer.” Then he sat down. The second involved an Irish MP in the British Parliament 150 years ago whose name was also Hamilton. Early in his career he made a speech that was so well received that he declined to speak again for 40 years. When asked why, he replied: “When you do something you cannot do better at, take it as granted and do not try to do any better.” Two Nova Scotians also marked their 30th anniversaries as MPs on Wednesday. They are former defence minister Robert from Cumberland- Colchester and Lloyd Crouse of South Shore. Heath Macquarrie, the fofmer PEI MP who sits in the Senate, celebrated 30 years as a parliamentarian. And Michael Starr, Diefenbaker's labor minister who was first elected in 1957, was in the gallery watching the tributes. COMMONS SPEAKER John Fraser threw the traditional Speaker's garden party on Wednesday and it was a smashing success, with an estimated 3,000 MPs, senators, political aides, diplomats, media and senior public servants crossing the Ottawa River into Quebec for the annual affair. Veteran partygoers say the event, held on one of the nicest nights this spring, was the largest ever. About 5,000 invitations were sent out for the party held on grounds of The Farm, which is the Speaker's residence in the Gatineau Hills, Fraser, host at his first garden party since assuming his post last fall, spent 2% hours in the receiving line as guests arrived by car or in specially arranged Parliament Hill and chartered buses. The fresh jumbo shrimp were more plentiful than ever before and attracted lineups at the bowls filled to overflowing. There seemed to be no end to the other finger foods and booze as the party went on until di and the 1 bug forced the lingerers off the lawns and into their vehicles. New touches this year were the ice carvings of swans, beavers, fish and other creatures that dotted the lawn and, in some cases, helped keep the bowls of shrimp cool. FRASER had to caution one MP about her choice of words recently in the Commons. Liberal Sheila Finestone was asking Justice Minister Ray Hnatyshyn about the difference between pornogra- phy and erotica in the bill before the Commons and sprinkled the preamble to her question with words and phrases like bare backside, bottom, bum, breast, “no ifs, ands no buts.” You get the picture. Fraser stood to warn Finestone about her parliamentary language. “The chair is listening with gréat care to all the words mentioned by the honorable member but there is one she must not use again and that is her reference to the minister as ‘you.’ ” (Many MPs, especially newcomers, often forget that they are required by the rules to address their questions to ministers through the Speaker.) THE FINNISH Embassy opened spacious new quarters in a newly constructed office building which has a smashing view of the Peace Tower of Parliament Hill. The plans for expansion were already under way last winter when the government announced that, as part of a cost-cutting plan, the Canadian Embassy in Finland would be shut down. That decision worried Finnish diplomats in Ottawa. It also set off a storm of protest among the 55,000 Canadians of Finnish origin and from companies that deal with Finland. The government, caught off guard by: the reaction, quietly reversed itself. Incidentally, insiders say that when treasury officials were trying to decide which post in Europe would be shut down, they short-listed three legations — Ireland, the Vatican and Finland. The first two were ruled out because it was felt the political heat would be too much. SENATOR Jean Le Moyne was startled this week when his name was misspelled in a news story. When he hext saw the reporter concerned, he started to give him a piece of his mind. Hold on, the reporter said, and pointed out that he had spelled the senator's name exactly as it was listed in Senate telephone listings. “Oh, my God,” the senator said, taken aback. “I've never looked at that.” LETTER Refugee bill Putting homeless people at risk in unsafe places, possibly to death, is unconscionable. Behind the discreet words of the government's press re- lease of May 5, 1987, and in the wording of Bill C-55, is the elimination of any mean’ ingful humanitarian response to defacto refugees to Can- ada. “It’s a black mark on Canada's humanitarian cons- cience,” commented Nancy Pocock who is co-ordinator of the Quaker’s Committee for Refugees. Canada has the right, and a duty to legitimate refugees, to ensure that those claiming refugee status are not regular immigrants using fraudulent means to improve their economic situation. These applicants have often been supplied with passage by unscrupulous travel agents and criminal net- works. The provisions of Bill C-55 go far beyond what is needed to deal with this problem. The new regulations will fall hardest on those fleeing from Central and South American countries where war, torture and death are endemic. By no stretch of the imagination can most of the fleeing Guatemalans, Salva- doreans or Chileans be class- ified as anything but genuine refugees. Yet, under these new rules, they will have to return to a third country even if they have an “argu- able claim” to refugee status. For most this means the United States. The United States has given no guaran- tee that the claimant will not be deported and is currently deporting 400 or so Salva- doreans a month. Scores of deported Salvadoreans have suffered torture, “disappear- ed” or been killed since their return. The “arguable claim” stat- us will be determined at the Canadian border by two goes too far people, a member of a gov- ernment-appointed refugee board and an Immigration Department employee. The applicant may be repres- ented by counsel although it is not explained how the refugee manages to get a Canadian counsel. The claim will be rejected if, among other things, they can be considered as “persons who can be returned to a safe third country.” The list of safe third countries will be established by cabinet. Lawyers specializing in re- fugee law believe that the screening proposal is a disa- ster: that it can only “work” if a majority of refugee claimants are turned away at our borders without a fair hearing. The government re- fuses to state that the United States will be excluded from the “safe third country” list: they only say that the de- cision will be taken after “wide consultation.” Howe- ver, given that they have ig- nored two years of consult- ation with refugee support groups in bringing in Bill C-55, it is difficult to believe that they will publicly state that the U.S. is unsafe for refugees fleeing countries where the U.S. supports the June 14, 1987 HOMEGOODS FURNITURE WAREHOUSE Tues.-Sat., 9:30-5:30 China Creek “Drive a Little to Save o Lot” DN FOR WHOLE CHILD Academic, Spiritual, Emotional, Physical STILL SOME OPENINGS FOR 1987 FALL TERM IN Primary Grades 1, 2 and3 Elementary 4, 5 and 6 Seniors — Full oy Deadline — September |, 1987 Alpha and Omega, | - 12 Beginning to the End. .
