$16 PARKING SPOTS

Dispute leaves terminal empty

PRINCE ALBERT,
SASK. (AP) — A dispute be-
tween Transport Canada and
Noreanair over four: free
parking spots has left Prince
Albert's new $700,000 airport
terminal sitting vacant.

The terminal was officially
opened June 24. An airport
manager has moved in. But
Noreanair — the main re-
gional airline carrying north-
south traffic in Saskatchewan
— has continued to operate
from the hangar which has
served it the last 25 years.

The airline refuses to move
into the terminal unless the
four parking spots are pro-

vided free of charge. Trans-
port Canada says the spots
have to be rented and the
negotiated price is $16 per
spot per month, or $768 a
year for the package of four.

The dispute dates back to
June 16, 1983, when Nor-
canair sent Transport-
Canada a list of conditions on
which it would move.

“We were quite happy and
content sitting in the han-
gar.” said Brian Fruson,
Norcanair's traffic manager
in Saskatoon.

“We never approached
Transport Canada about a

terminal building in -Prince
Albert.”

Construction started in the
spring of 1983’ and disputes
about the move began soon

-afterward. Transport Canada

wanted Norcanair in the
terminal last winter but the
airline refused, citing a lack
of fuel tanks and. a paved
baggage area. _

Those difficulties were re-
solved but. neither side
budged on the parking ques-
tion.

Fruson did not want to be .
specific in-an interview in
mid-July. @&

“['m not going to say what

particular things they are...
it had to do with the price he
would: have to pay on a cer-
tain area and we had said in
our original letter that has to
be done or we're not moving.

“People may look at it and
say, ‘Why are you being so
hard-nosed?) But we have
never approached Transport
Canada about a_ terminal
building. It was the poli-
ticians and the city that
pushed it up there for years.”

Brian Hodgson of Winni-

parking spots was the’ last
stumbling block in the way of
an agreement.

“We can't just give it to
them,” he said. :

“Nowhere in the nation do
we give free parking spots as
part of the terms of the lease
agreement. If we did it in
Prince Albert we'd have to to
it in Winnipeg, Montreal and
Toronto.

it's an item of principle.”

They are a growing concern of child care workers
who worry about their emotional as well as physical
safety.

With more working parents and the expense and
shortage of child care, many families have no choice but
to leave their children for part of the day.

Jake Kuiken, a Calgary child dev:
tant, calls self care a buzzword that
what amounts to a {c neglect.

“You cal fe anything if. you use the right

ds,"-Kiuiken told a symposium on out-of-school care.

pment,
proval to

some way except the child.”

There are no comprehensive statistics on such
children but a 1984 Winnipeg study found 12 per cent of
families in that city, with children six to 12 years old, left
their children to care for themselves.

When interviewing childrén for their book The
Handbook for Latchkey Children and their Parents,
United States education professors Lynette and Thomas
Long found many children in self care feared break-ins,
physical assault, fires and possible conflicts with siblings
while they were left alone. i

FEEL FEAR -

“Because of the lack of presence of an adult, feelings
of fear are more frequent and enduring for latchkey
children than for children who are under continuous adult
care," the book says. “Children simply {eel more
vulnerable when alone.” © ©

Kuiken concurs that children who are consistently.
left alone have heightened levels of fear, a greater
number of home accidents, feel greater pressures to grow
up too fast and may also feel guilty that they cause their
parents stress. =

Child-care experts are also concerned that parents J
are instructing their children to lie — by teaching them to
tell telephone éallers their parents are busy when in fact
the parents aren't home “and by pretending no one is
home when the doorbell rings. *

“We're teaching kids -to lie,” Kuikep sai “The
message is subtle but it’s very powerful for children.”

The age at which children’can be Jegally left
unsupervised falls into the blurry area of common law. |
(defined by custom). Twelve-year-olds are generally
accepted as being responsible enough to be left alone or
to care for other chileren. nd

FEEL T00 OLD——

Many pre-teens feel too old to be babysat and tell
their parents they prefer to be on their own. But child
care workers like Barbara Waterman of Vancouver,
believe 12- to 16-year‘olds benefit ‘from organized
after-school care.

“A lot of parents think that for an hour or so, it’s all
right to leave their kids alone but it's really easy for them
to end up on the street,” says Waterman. :

“Once the child gets involved with a shady character,
there's nothing you can do to get them away. Kids aren't
able to see the future. These people are good to them and’
it’s tough for the parent to compete.”

Hot and dry. :

. Those were the operating
weather office for, July 1985.

Castlegar set seven new high temperature, records
during the month and on July 3 was the hottest location
in Canada, although that day's was not a
record. One record high was tied.

The record for mean maximum temperature was

..a result of the prolonged hot dry spell.

The néw-recordfor July is 34.3 C, breaking the
previous record of 30.9 sé 7 and well above the
normal of 28.5: 7
~ ‘The total of 396.7 hours of sunshine shat
record of 359.9 in 1968. Normal for the month is 315.9
hours.

The scant trace of rainfall recorded during the month
also broke a record and is the first time Castlegar has
gone a calendar month without measureable precipi-
tation.

‘The old record for July of 3.3 mm was set in 1973 and
39.4 mm is July’s normal rainfall.

The cause of this attack on the record books was an
area of high pressure that moved over southern B.C. on
June 12 and remained during all of July.

systems moved over the top of the ridge and would drift

However, Castlegar missed the thunder and
lightning and received only the trace of rain.

“One more week here and
I'll be eligible for Canadian
citizenship.”

Lynn Richmond, District
Governor of Rotary District
508, paid his third visit to
British Columbia and this
area last week and opened
his official address on a light
note, obviously touched “by
the warm welcome that he
and his wife Tommy had so
consistently received here.

He then went on to say,
“Membership in a club is lim-
ited only by the number of
good men in an area and the
number of classifications
open.” He continued with, “A
club must be a doer. in its
community if it expects to
attract the right member-

ship.” 5

He developed his 1985-86
theme for the district: "You
are the key-to the future and
the future starts now,” and
outlined some of the objec
tives for the coming Rotary
year.

These include 65 Paul Har.
ris Fellowships (a‘donation to
Rotary International schol
arship fund amounting to ap-
proximately $1,350 per fel
lowship), support for the
Polio "2005 Committee (a

drive to eliminate polio in the ”
