A8 CASTLEGAR NEWS, August 30, 1981 Poor education is blamed for racism CALGARY (CP) — Sikhs in Canada face racism and ignorance, says J. W. Spell- man, a University of Windsor scholar who is a student of their culture. Sikhs are natives of the Punjab in northwest India. They are a growing ethnic community in Canada. They are “the new boys on the bloc! Spellman said. Their omnipresent turbans and uncut hair — a tenet of the Sikh religion —make them stand out. He said Sikhs often catch the fallout of lingering pre- judices against Pakistanis, although the two groups are racially, culturally and re- tigiously different. Spellman said poor edu- cation is part of the problem. “Racism is not the result of ignorant people,” he said. “It’s the consequence of a heritage of racism reflected in’ secondary school re- sources. “I mean if you continually hear about the impoverished masses, about ignorant, su- perstitious people who need millions of dollars worth of aid, what do you expect people to think? “We have an incredible, ethnocentric arrogance.” Spellman said India has a complex and highly devel- oped civilization, but few Canadian schoolchildren are aware of it. Canadian stu- dents eschew books about India by Indian writers in favor of those written by non-Indians, which is re- flected in attitudes toward Indians who move to Canada. CHRIS D'ARCY ‘The West Kootenay Power-Cominco hearings in Kelowna have been geeting justifiably board coverage. At the same time our other energy utility, Inland Natural Gas, has quietly received preliminary approval of two important extensions to its system. If no technical or material supply problems arise, both Genelle and Blueberry Creek should have piped gas available before Christmas. With federal conversion subsidies available, it seems likely that suppliers of gas furnaces will do a brisk business this winter. If all goes well, next year should see Oasis tied into Inalnd's system also. Further afield, Christina Lake, Nelson's North Shore, the Slocan Valley and Slocan City itself are also slated for gas service in 1982-83. The company has worked hard to get through the laborious process of Utility Commission approvals for these service extensions. Residents of the Columbia Valley between Trail and Castlegar have shown great patience with the process, but the go ahead is here at last. Sometime in late September, after the hardiest swimmers have left, 2-4-D will be dumped into milfoil infested areas of the main Champion Lake. The chemicals have a life of six weeks before they break down and are neutralized. Winter and spring runoff will flush the lake before next summer. Milfoil infestation is restricted to the beach area. It appears that artificial sanding of beaches is the major factor in the plant taking hold. The government refuses to use sterilized grass carp as & biological control, and the lake bottom is too rough for mechanical weed removal. In view of this, Parks felt it necessary to go the 2-4-D route. The wholesale use of herbicides in a popular lake is more than somewhat frightening to most of us, and I hope this sort of operation is not necessary again. Surprisingly, no objections to the permit were filed, perhaps because there are no current users of water from Champion Creek, although there is a dormant domestic and irrigation licence dating from the days when.the river benches opposite Poupore were farmed. Syringa Park on the Arrow Lakes is in great need of expansion. This year's resanding of the beach is a great improvement, but additional day use and camping facilities are needed, along with an extension of the improved beach. Other conventional and marine park facilities are needed up the lake. Someday perhaps parks will once again be a government priority, as they were throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. The park reserves are all there, but the capital and operating funds are not, even at $5 a night for a campsite and please scrounge your own firewood off the beach. Someday too we hope to see public funds provided for adequate breakwater and moorage facilities on the Arrow Lakes. At present the few private marinas allowed to operate and Hydro or B.C. Timber facilities are the only moorage or protection available to boaters in the event of a sudden storm or other emergency.

With the state of today's housing market, Bruce and Barb Bartleman consider themselves fortunate to have become homeowners while still in their 20s, And while the step may not be an easy one to take, they advise young couples to investigate Alberta’s home mortgage program and take advantage of it. (Third of a series.) By John Ward EDMONTON (CP) — For Bruce and Barb Bar- tleman, buying a new house required a little luck, the right timing and some help from relatives and the Alberta provincial govern- ment. The couple, both 27, moved to Edmonton twe — 3 eee S years ago and recently fulfilled a dream by buying a new house It wasn't easy, though, and .Bartleman said in an interview that without help, it would have re- mained a dream. the Bartlemans and their two daughters, three-year- old Michelle and Louise, 10 months, are living in a $70,000, three-bedroom bungalow. They managed to buy the house with the aid of the Alberta Home Mort- gage Program, which off- ers a subsidy to help with mortgage payments on new houses meeting cost requirements. For the Bar- tlemans, it means the province pays $168 a month towards their mort- gage, while they pay $509. “We couldn't possibly have done it without it (the program),” Bartleman said. FATHER HELPED The young couple — Bruce is an insurance sales- man for Canada Life and Barb stays home to care for the children — also got help from Bruce's father to come up with the $15,000 down payment. "If we had done it on our own, without the assis- tance of my parents, it would have changed our lifestyle,” Bartleman said. “I think we were fairly lucky,” he said of the house purchase. Just recently, the eligi- bility ceiling for the pro- vincial mortgage program was raised to $74,000 and the interest rate jumped to 17 per cent, but the Bar- tlemans completed their arrangzments when the ceiling was still $70,000 and the interest rate 13.6 per cent. “It's done on the basis of income and family,” he said. The timely arrival of baby Louise helped boost the eventual subsidy the family received. REVIEW SUBSIDY The help will not last forever, but it gave the young family a start. “They review it every 20 months,” Bartleman said. “The interest rate is good for five years, but the subsidy can vary.” If his income of about $21,000 increases, the pro- ‘, vincial aid might be re- duced. The two say they are not completely satisfied with the house they are in — “it’s a little on the small side but it is a start. For Barb, the biggest problem is that there are few young couples around their home, leaving three- year-old Michelle without playmates. The little girl was morose and cranky and her parents had to send her to nursery school. “When we were house- hunting, we wanted to move into a neighborhood ;that was young,” Bartle- man said. “We wanted _ NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS DENIM JAC Lee and Levi's® best on sale tilt Saturday!

On Saturday Castlegar played Sparwood in one semi-final whilo Selkirk Col- lege played Creston in the other semi-final match-up. Sparwood who ended up in first place in the East Div- ision, started the game strongly and used its large forwards to good advantage, but the Castlegar defense + held fast and stopped them cold.

The Vikings didn't hold the lead long as Sparwood stormed back to tie the score three minutes later. The score remained tied at half time. The second half started with both teams getting chances, but it wasn’t until the 17th minute that a jubi- lant Sparwood took the lead. Sparwood’s goal seemed to bring Castlegar alive, and from then on they went to the attack and should have had a penalty shot as the ball struck a Sparwood defender on the arm. row, Bob Beynon, Norm Stoochnow, ras, Mitch Quaedviieg and John But despite protests from Castlegar, the referee told them to play on. Castlegar pressed relentlessly and re- fused to give up. With seven minutes left in regulation time, DaCosta picked up the ball close to midfield and, on . a great individual effort, made a solo run. Leaving defenders behind him, he scored on a low shot that gave the eeper no chance to even the game at two goals each. The game now went into tow 15-minute halfs of over- time. The first half of over- time was evenly played and ended tied. In the second half of overtime, Castlegar played great, with Ray Sele scoring the eventual winner on & wicked shot from 20 yds. out, 2 ettigrew to put the Vikings ahead 3-2. The Vikings continued to press while Sparwood sagged and Nrm Stoochnow fed a pass to Joe Antignani who scored easily.

U.S. beats Czechoslovakia - U.S. 4 CZECHS 1 WINNIPEG (CP) — Gen- eral manger Lou Nanne drew considerable satisfaction from his United States team's 4-1 exhibition victory Saturday over Czechoslovak- ia, the final tuneup for both clubs before the Canada Cup hockey tournament. “[m happy about it,” Nanne said after Steve Chris- Ditoff and Dead Talafous:- ‘each scored a goal and set up another in pacing the U.S. to victory. “We wanted to win this game, and I'm glad we wid. “We were cutting down on their chances, but then, this Czech team isn't Canada.” Team Canada posted 5-2 and 6-5 victories in the Am- ericans’ only two exhibition tests before the Czechoslo- vakian game. “The' Czechs have a lot of young players, and they're a little uncertain as. to what they can do and what we can do,” said Nanne, general manager of Minnesota NOrth Stars of the National Hockey League. “But our guys are getting confident after the two games against the Can- adians. “We haven't seen anybody we can’t beat if we play well and get good goaltending.’ Until we do, we're out to win this thing. SCORES GOALS i Dave tian and Tom Younghans scored the other goals for the U.S. squad, an impressive blend of NHL players that includes former, members of the gold medal- winning team in the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, N.Y.

The U.S. fired 32 shots at Czechoslovakian goaltender - Karel Lang, .28, who ap- peared nervous, especially in the first period, and the Eur- opeans replied with 21 shots at Tony Esposito in the U.S. goal. iter gave Czechoslova- kia a quick lead with a floater from just inside the blue line 50 seconds into the game, and Esposito slapped his stick on the ice in frustration at giv- ing: up the soft goal. But Espotito, who gained USS. citizenship just in time to play for that country in the tournment, recovered from - the bad beginning, as did the + Fest of the American team. FEEDS PASS Christoff tied it on the power play at 8:43, only 16 seconds after Czechoslovak- —ian defenceman Milan Chal- upa went.off for hooking. Talafous fed. a sharp pass from behind the net, and Christoff darted across the crease to convert it. Christian, a team-mate of Christoff with the 1980 Olym- pic squad, put the Americans ahead to stay at 10:28. Tom Gorence gave Christian th epuck at the enemy blue line, and he caught defenceman Jan Neliba flatfooted to break in on Lang for a 20-footer that found the net. Despite being outshot 9-8 in the first period, the U.S. could have had several other goals, 2s Rob McClanahan hit the post, Mike Eaves fired wide from 10 feet after a turnover and Mark Johnson deflected a Richie Dunn slap shot from the point wide. Esposito got quickly to a shot by Jiri Lala in the 19th minute to preserve the 2-1 lead when the Czechoslova- kian suddenly found himself alone in the slot with the puck. Younghans put the U.S. up 3-1 with the only goal of the middle period. Land was down after stopping a shot by McClanahan, and Younghans was trailing on the play to capitalize at 3:04. The Czechoslovakians turned the puck over to Neal Broten in the slot in the fifth minute, and Lang robbed the former Olympian with a fine glove save. Christoff blasted a shot wide after intercepting a pass and splitting the de- fence a minute later. Johnson came close while killing a high-sticking penalty assessed to Mark Howe at 7:21. Lang came out of the goal to foil Johnson, who car- ried the puck in close. Esposito made a pad save on Richter in the 18th minute after the U.S. coughed up the puck in its own zone, and the Americans mounted a couple of good power-play attacks without scoring after Jiri Dudacek was handed a hook- ing penalty at 16:55.

About 7,000 spectators watched the lacklustre con- test that was interspersed with a ive hitting by the Finns and delays because of penalties.
