A gencral question was put to each candidate at the start of the forum, requesting their policy and position on education. Andrea Wright, Green party candidate for the Nelson-Creston riding said she believes eduction should be taken out of the hands of big government and placed back into the community, ‘There is‘so.much more to learn than what’s available in any class- room,” she said. Her counterpart, Green candi- date for the Rossland-Trail riding echoed those remarks, but added students should be leaning more about global survival. ‘We need to Jeam not only the facts and figures, but how to survive as a planet.” during educational forum one should be denied the opportu: | nity for a higher education: Social Credit candidate Walter Siemens maintains that his party has been handling finances, espe- cially those they can’t afford to pay,””: NDP candidate Ed sdid adequately. “We've spent $27 million of our budget on educa- tion in this province. Some peo- ple say that's not enough, but we have to be realistic in our approach. How much more can we possibly spend, and where will the money come from.” Nelson-Creston Social Credit candidate Howard Dirks reiterat- ed that a good education is the basis of society. “Community col- leges have been allowing students to get back into the trades, there- by meeting the needs of local employers. This has to be devel- oped even greater because the needs of the employers are increasing.” he said. land-Trail ind d that greater consultation is needed . between government and school boards to ensure that funds will be used to their maximum poten: tial, “Education is an investment in our province - and in our future. The two hour forum whick, began at noon was geared to tack, le strictly educational issues; However, questions dealing with Aboriginal land claims and abgr: tion were also raised. “The decision regarding abor: tion should be taken out of the hands of the government and left up to a woman and her doctor,” said Green candidate Andrea Wright. “Although terminating an ches D'Arcy stated that in a province such as B.C., everyone should have the opportunity for, post secondary education. “No ry should be a very last resort.” The Green can- didates also stated they would See FORUM Bry Housing crunch causing problems SHARLENEIMHOFF Sun Editor A housing crunch in Castle- But is showing signs of turning into'a housing crisis, and-city council is asking local residents to share their ideas and views in order to find some i available.

B.C. Environment is taking emergency action to bolster declining stocks of Kokanee in Kootenay Lake. Provincial hatchery staff are collecting several million Koka- nee eggs from the nearby Hill Creek Spawning Channel on Upper Arrow Lake for transport to Meadow Creek Spawning Channel at the north end of Kootenay Lake. The extraordinary measures are necessary because the number of Kokanee retuming to spawn at Meadow Creek and the Lardeau River are at historic low levels for the third year in a row. “We're fairly confident that we know the reason for this decline,” said Jay Hammond, section head of the B.C, Environment Fish and Wildlife Program in Nelson. “We lations improve rapidly. “The Duncan Dam also plays a part in this.

The lake’s world-famous Ger- rard Rainbow Trout are also at tisk, since they feed exclusively on Kokanee and will also decline in numbers unless Kokanee popu- low when compared with an aver- age of one million each, 10 years ago. “This is why we are so con- cemed,” he said. “The whole eco- logical community of Kootenay Lake has been affected by the dams.” A proposal to fertilize the North Arm of Kootenay Lake each year has been developed as a long-term solution to the prob- lem. Fertilization will increase food s for each level of the food chain, including the fish. “At this point it's strictly experimental,” said Hammond. The cost of fertilization is esti- mated at between four and five dth d dollars per “If it works, that's what it costs forever.” Sources of funding for the fer- tilization are being explored. Public meetings will be held this fall or winter in nearby com- ‘munities to review the fertiliza- tion proposal and determine its acceptability. Mathieson feels it would be worthwhile to investigate the pos- sibilities of applying for the same . such grant. “It’s hard to say right now whether that would be possible, but it is something we should consider.” Application for such a grant, would likely have to completed by January - leaving a limited amount of time to toss around options.

Mathieson also sites the Cel- gar Modernizations Project as having a direct impact on Castlegar’s housing and rental fees. “Now that some of our land- lords can get more money for their suites, they have taken advantage of the situation.” Mathieson is hoping that ser- vice organizations and a num- ber of residents will attend.a meeting to discuss the situation Tuesday, October 15 at 7:30 p.m. at city hall.
