In accepting the society’s request to the proposal. He said that -the Valhalla Park Proposal merited such province-wide attention and that the park would be an asset to the whole province. Nothing definite on Kootenay ramps. Cost of new boat ramps facilities at either Kuskanook or Boswell have been estimated at $100,000, and no promise for immediate action on the condition of the ramps has been received, says Bill Mackie, chairman of the regional district advisory committee for the area, : Mackie has received a copy of a letter sent from Romeo LeBlanc, Min- ister of Fisheries and Oceans, to Kootenay East-Revelstoke MP Sid Parker, which states that “at this time, * all funds for the Pacific region have been committed. Should additional funds become available at later this fiscal year, these projects will be reconsidered at that time.” “In any case, these projects will be considered for inclusion in the Small Craft Harbours five-year program at the appropriate priority and pending availability of funds.” The letter states that the $100,000 cost estimate depends on the exact location and the slépe of the approach in each case, : The Ministry has jurisdiction over the public wharfs at Kuskanook and. Boswell. The Boswell location has been closed to public use due to its state of disrepair. Local residents and i ae “The Valhallas are more important to the province than the Skagit Valley-Ross Dam issue,” he said, “and I will be pleased to act upon such a bill.” The bill will be presented in the coming months and is the latest endorsement of the park proposal which has received the support of the councils of all three Slocan Valley towns and the Slocan Valley Chamber of Commerce as well as numerous - outdoor groups and federations. Ina related move, the society in its general meeting voted to support the Hills Recreation Society's bid to have the provincial h the former Valhalla Lakeside Resort for park purposes.. The resort lies in Hills at the north end of Slocan Lake. The former resort is considered a key piece of property for recreational development on the Slocan Lake and both the Village of New. Denver and the Regional District of Central Kootenay have passed resolutions supporting the government purchase idea. Mr. Nicholson was in favor of this move as well, He had been in touch with regional park planners in Nelson, he said, and they appear to be. treating including the Kootenay Lake Resorts Association, contend that the Kuska- nook wharf is also in need of repair or replacement, The two wharf locations are the ‘only public facilities south of Kootenay Bay on the east shore of Kootenay Lake. G the resort p plan as just for Hills people. “They don't see the broader im- portance of procuring this valuable piece of property for the public,” he said, “and it is important for other groups to voice their support for the proposal, McClealland claims it. will not .™mean the reopening of uranium mines as long as “the threshold (a prescribed amount of uranium ore) is there the uranium can't be mined.” D'arcy points out that the Mines Act does not stipulate what constitutes a uranium mine nor does the Order-in- Council establishing the moratorium. “Ihave a feeling they (the gqvern- ment) went to sleep on the issue. They announced the moratorium in Feb- Tuary, but it wasn’t in effect until four months had passed. There's nothing to say they can’t lift the moratorium whenever they want,” D’arcy added. Jick CHRIS D‘ARCY . . . doubts sincerity Some drilling for ore took place in the Genelle area before the morator- ium was imposed. At that time “about 99.9 per cent of the people were up in arms over not being consulted “D'arcy said. Drilling at Genelle was officially shut down by the exploration company before the moratorium came into effect. “The Mines Act has not yet reached committee stage and third reading debate. The moratorium, announced two days before an anti-uranium demon- stration scheduled for the opening of the current session of the legislature, killed a royel commission of inquiry on the subject. “I doubted the legality of the moratorium anyway. But as no one challenged it, it was accepted.” D'arcy said. “It finally got some teeth to it by an Order-in-Council in April.” West Kootenay municipalities will not be greatly affected by new holiday iff | Lakes added he had no idea if the council would go to referendum over and Sunday sh intro- * duced last week. The primary reason being very few merchants in those cities have requested permission to open on holl- days. The new Holiday Shopping Reg- ulation Act (Bill 56) includes a list of what types of businesses may remain open on Sundays and’ holidays, The list allows small food stores, laundromats, theatres, hotels, antique stores, gas stations, car, boat and plane rentals and repairs, and nurseries and garden supply stores to open on Sun- jays. Exceptions to the law for indi- vidual municipalities can be made by plebiscite. The new bill supercedes Bill 8 which some muncipal politicians said was throwing the problem of Sunday and holiday shopping hours back at the municipalities. That bill called for cities to entirely ‘regulate shopping hours after holding a-plebiscite to determine - tesident’s preferences. ' Mayors of some West Kootenay municipalities agree the decision . should rest more at the provincial level. Rossland Mayor Bill Profili said that although they at one time had a oor we ing sh was rescinded eight ry! hours “that - months ago.” Since then Rossland has. hours as hours but said it was unlikely unless several merchants or members of the public requested it. Castlegar has not had a shopping hours by-law so when “there was some talk of Sunday openings two, or three years ago we sent both the merchants’ associations in town a copy of the legislation (the municipal act) and they just shook their heads,” Mayor Audrey Moore said. One reason Castlegar has not had AUDREY MOORE... both sides in the municipal act. About three requests came in “a few months ago” for Sunday opening but “we showed them the Municipal Act” and that was the end, Profili said, The requests came from one con- a shopping bylaw “is you are forever amending them. Christmas always falls Z on different days of the week so the munici; ies are busy : ding their stores closing bylaws.” Moore adds she can see advan- venience store and two d stores, Rossland council “didn’t want to be TEX MOWAT... competition involved in that (shopping hours) decision,” Profili said, Trail merchants have also been - governed by the municipal act as that tages for shopping hours being a provincial and a ipal matter. On the provincial side “I think it is better to have the conformity. It's better if everybody knows the rules.” However if the elected council has the control “they can respond to the wishes of the community,” Moore added, . “There's two sides to it. I can see validity in both approaches. Nelson Mayor Tex Mowatt call levisl “an 7 “It's much wiser having it along those lines than having councils at random decide their own hours.” “In a situation where you have Trail, Castlegar, Nelson, ‘Salmo and Kaslo competing: for one. another's business” it's better they all operate ore hour guidelines, Pee % R Mowatt added with the exception of drug stores they have not had any merchant requests for Sunday open- ings. z : In Nelson and Castlegar drug : stores operate on a rotating Sunday opening basis.

Slow summer for water bombers It’s been a slow summer for water bombers and the area forestry scene in general. Last year the bombers had “about. 10 targets a day” compared to “about 20 targets all summer this year,” a forestry spokesman said Monday. Bombers have been sent to northern Alberta throughout the sum- mer to combat fires there so “some- times they're flying five or six hours a day.” The last two local targets were in the Mica Creek vicinity on Friday. There are presently no fires burning in this area, another spokes- man, Stewart Deverney, said. “It’s been a while. The last one was last Tuesday,” the resource assistant with the forestry department said. The water bombers will likely be leaving the area after the Labor Day long weekend. Barr sentenced to six months George Barr, d Nelson in order to obtain loans and police chief, was sentenced Aug. 13 to six months in prison on each of seven counts of making a false statement. The terms are to be served con- currently. Barr pleaded guilty July 3 to each of the seven counts. Provincial court was told that between September, 1973 and Decem- ber, 1979, Barr knowingly made false credit extensions totalling $150,000 from area banks and credit unions. Provincial court Judge L.J. Keffer scolded area bank managers for neglecting to check Barr's property titles before extending credit. He said it was “utterly incredible" that the managers extended loans on the strength of three properties in which Rarr held no equity.
