= Aa Castlégar News September 24, 1989 i’ OPINION Re. a4 al oN Fire the coach Oh-for-tive If the Social Credit party were a football team, it would fire the coach. Or, in the case of the Socreds, if the coach had any smarts he'd quit and let someone else try to guide the team into the win column, Bill Vander Zalm and his party are in deep trouble after their fit- th consecutive byelection loss to the New Democrats this time in a riding — Cariboo — that in the last 37 years has regularly returned a member of the Social Credit party to the B.C. legislature In sports, the coach is often the scapegoat for a team whose ployers are not giving their best effort. And it's true, in the case of the Socreds, that some membrs of Mr. Vander Zalm's team have not exactly pertormed up to the public's expectations of politicians en dowed with the public's trust. Former Tourism Minister and Provincial Secretary Bill Reid who resigned from Cabinet Wednesday — the day of the Cariboo byelec tion is the latest in a series of embarrassments (the Knight Street Pub mess, the Expo lands controversy, the abortion issue, the $100,000 severance payout to David Poole) that has, at this point, vir tually crippled the Socreds’ hopes of winning the next general elec- tion. (Mr. Reid, though, to his credit, did the honorable thing andi resigned immediately in the wake of allegations he misused his position in the disbursement of GO B.C. funds, allegations yet un proved.) Through it all, though, one issue keeps surtacing Mr. Vander Zalm's leadership of the party On Wednesday, after his party's overwhelming loss in Cariboo. @ petulant premier appeared on television screens across the provin ce and tried to lay some of the blame for his troubles on the media At the risk of perpetuating a cliche, we agree with our colleagues in this business that Mr Vander Zalm is attempting to shoot thé messenger for being the bearer of bad news The media does not and has not put into his mouth the words the premier has spoken about abortion or invented his cavalier style of leadership which has annoyed not only the people of B.C. but mem bers of his own party who have attempted this past year apparently unsuccessfully, to gag the ebullient Mr. Vander Zalm The media did not invent Mr. Vander Zalm’s callous handling of loyal, long-time Socred Alex Fraser, whose death earlier this year from cancer made the Cariboo byelection necessary The media did not invent polls which showed the Socreds would lose badly in the Cariboo, despite the premier’s assertion that the polls were just another media weapon to be used to shoot down his government The premier's threats Wednesday to let the people of B.C. ex press their opinions sooner rather than later on his and his party's government in a general election must have sent some Social Credit party members into apoplexy It's an election the Socreds have no hope of winning at this time The only hope the party has is to select a new leader who would still have two years left in the Socreds’ mandate to repair the damage done and rebuild public contidence in the government the issue of Scrums ‘ridiculous’ OTTAWA (CP) — Many believe it’s a@ridiculous way to gather news When the reporters armed with The goal is to conduct a mass inter view that may last only a few seconds and never more than a few minutes between from television, radio, newspapers and wire services and a member of Parliament I think scrums are a ridiculous way if not always memorable, quotes of communicating information,” says The swarms are called scrum, aptly Val Sears, a named after a rugby play where dp posing players lock arms and kick fier cely at a football Only in this case the politician is the football and the kicks are questions The practice appears to be peculiarly Canadian.

An opportunity arose on Sept. 12 to attend the Environmental Appeal Board hearing in Castlegar, where the pros and especially the cons of her bicide policy were dealt with at great length. Besides the Ministry of High ways and the appeal board, the event was attended by environmental groups from Trail, Revelstoke and Grand Forks.

The ministry has recklessly down played the prospects of alternatives and at the same time has neglected to substantiate its claims of safety (through comprehensive field studies) Allof the appellants verbally presented extensive research material that the ministry was previously unaware of. In effect, the results indicated that federal pesticide guidelines are disreputable Logan Stewart, a lawyer represen- ting the ministry, stressed that the Ministry of Highways is operating legally by federal standards, and that since conscientious environmentalists are oppose! to suspect toxics, their beef should instead be with Ottawa. emphasized that neurological effects can be disastrous.

Wayne Peppard was a key appellant at the hearing, representing the in. terests of the United Steelworkers. He said all plant species, including so- called weeds, are essential factors of symbiotic relationships in nature. His witness, Jack Ross, stressed that such substances should be considered un- safe until proven safe. This does not appear to be the case up to now. Most federal documentation relies upon sources supplied by the chemical com panies who market the products.

Not Bill Vander Zalm.

Long before the vote, Vander Zalm had said it was a test of his leadership. Hearing the bad news on election night in Victoria, he read a statement blaming the ess on ‘the media, politicians and people unhappy because of single issues.”* PROVINCE WAS ABUZZ He said then if he were convinced the public questioned his leadership, he would promptly call a general election.

He sparred with reporters, always smiling while deflecting queries about leadership, caucus dissent and an elec tion. He spoke in calm, inviting measured tones except when he enthusiastically ‘olled Socred accomplishments And he refused to speculate on what would happen if the question of his leadership comés up at the next caucus meeting. Caucus chairman Carol Gran and three other backbenchers, including former cabinet minister Grace McCar thy, said earlier they wanted a special caucus meeting to disucss the party's future in the wake of the Cariboo loss PART OF AGENDA “We have caucus meetings fairly regularly and there are always a num ber of things to be discussed,’ Vander Zalm said. ‘It wouldn't be a caucus meeting if we didn’t talk a bit of politics, so obviously that is always a part of the agenda.”’ As for his leadership being an issue in the byelection, ‘1 wouldn't be a leader if | wasn’t one of the issues.

GORDON TURNER Special to the Castlegar News 1 was amazed and a little in awe. Here in the midst of us is a writer with much talent, a man with many stories to tell, and yet he didn’t know how good he was until his book appeared I'm referring to local writer and raconteur, Jim Chapman, whose recently published book The Hor seman of Shandro Crossing (Edmonton Press) is catching the attention of readers across-the For example in our history Tree Frog known as the body of aman who committed suicide. Chapman's novel is full of little details like that — bits of Ukraine folklore, precise observations of life and a sense of what it must have taken to have pioneered that country. He does a good job with the minor characters , Jim Penman, the government horse agent, is a delightful picture of the type at that time Another example i$ the son of the man ‘professor’’ about the countryside and stay wherever he likes. The boy fascinates those about him because he is “‘magical”” a completely free spirit who wants to know the color of certain birds’ eggsand why the wind blows Chapman is at his best in an exquisite love scene that takes place on the edge of a lake on a far quarter of Konopale’s homestead BOOK REVIEW who is allowed to ramble This chapter, called Yellow Or inthe Alberta North In fact, owns a successful mill ‘Saskatctrewarr River in northern Alberta. In writing so remarkably about the flourishing of Ukrainians in our country, Chapman also comments upon settlers of other nationalities striving to make itinthe new-country around places like Bellis, Smokey Lake and Bruderheim This book is not, however, just another dry, facts and figures, historical book about prairie settlers of an earlier time. Though it is based on the historical reality of Ukrainian settlers after the turn of the century, The Horseman of Shandro Crossing is a wonderful novel whose story is told through the eyes and experiences of one Ukrainian Cossack, John Konopale, who left his homeland to better himself in the new world the novel is a series of vignettes or little stories about Konopale’s coming to terms with the new country over a period of five years. homestead, becomes a breeder of horses and eventually The drama of the-story, however, comes about as Konopale gets involved in the lives of those about him — the Germans, the halfbreeds, the English lawmakers and his own Ukrainian settlers. We get the sheer anguish that Konopale feels as he helps cut down and bury a set- tler who couldn't face the hardship of the north country now that his Old Country sweetheart has !written that she’s married. What makes that chapter work is the last scene which shows the settlers riding their horses back and forth across the grave so the devil can’t find the chids, is handled perfectly and without excess. It is enough to say that the “golden orchids tay crushed and otten”’ after the event Another superbly handled chapter is the one describing the family that is nearly starving. Thereis not enough food and too many children, so the wife of the family hides her baby in the strawstack. She is beside herself in regard to what to do as her husband wants to get rid of the new baby, and yet the wife hasn’t told him the baby has been born. How Konopale resolves that situation is a measure of the kind of hero Chapman has created as the central focus of his book Now here’s an interesting sidelight. You won't find Jim Chapman’s name on the cover of the novel, though you'll find his picture on the back flap. Chapman has used a nom de plume — Yuri Kupchenko. Yuri Kupchenko is listed as the author on the book's spine and front cover. Why? Well, Kupchenko is one of Chapman's family names and he had a feeling it would be more in keeping with an author who writes about Ukrainian life Kupchenko-Chapman's book is a good read for a first novel. A chapter or two need further fleshing out, but generally the novel has a feeling of wholeness about it. It’s going to sell well across Canada and Jim Chap man, alias Yuri Kupchenko, will be both a local and Not bad for a B.C. Tel man who retired to write books.
