Requests Restricted
‘Dirt Bike’ Hours

A Oastlegar resident has
asked city council to permit
motorcycle riding “one or two
hours per day” in gravel pits
along the Columbia River.

Complaining that her son
and his friends have no place to
use their “dirt bikes,” Elaine
Blydo suggested in a letter to
council that “set hours” be
established for operation of
their machines at the gravel
pits.

The letter, said it was
“most unfair” that youths own-
ing the motoreycles not be
allowed to operate them be-
cause of their noise.

“Their bikes are not as
noisy as many gravel trucks,
graders, street cleaners, ce-
ment trucks, garbage trucks
and many cars that are in need
of repair,” she said in the letter.

Noting the youths and
their parents have spent “a
considerable amount of money
on these bikes to give (the
youths) some honest recrea-
tion,” she suggested 2 to 4 p.m.
or 7 to 9 p.m. as suitable
periods for the machines’ opera-
tion at the gravel pits.

In response to the letter,
council last Tuesday instructed

city slaff to inform Blydo that
various other requests for a
dirt bike track would be
considered in conjunction with
her letter.

City Council Declines
Group's Presentation

City council will not invite
a presentation from a group
proposing “the creation of an
ideal society in Castlegar.”
Arequest by the Kootenay
touring team of the Association
for the World Government of
the Age of Enlightenment, “a
non-religious, non-political or-
ganization,” for an opportunity
to discuss with council ils
campaign for the involvement
of 2:5 per cent of B.C.’s popu-
lation in the practice of tran-
scendental meditation, was de-
_ hied by council last Tuesday.
Ald. Albert ‘Calderbank
won approval for his motion

that the request be turned -

down because council “con-
siders this a ‘subject which
individual citizens should be
able to consider for them:
selves.”

Ald. Len Embree opposed
the motion, saying council had
nol made clear the basis upon

swhich it had decided to: refuse

the delegation. He asked
whether the decision would sel
a precedent for refusing future
delegations to council.

Speaking in favor of the
motion, Ald. Bud Godderis
he was opposed to recei

such a pi beeause

“there is involved in TM certain
fees und costs to people.”

“In that sense I feel that it
is perhaps not really a non-
profit type of movement,” he
said.

Although he agreed council
should retain “an openness” to
delegations, Godderis said he
had reservations about inviting
si it groups to appear before
council,
In a letter to the city,
organization spokesmen said
they expect to see “noticeable
improvements in such areas as
erime, accidents, vandalism,
health, pollution, strikes, fac-
lory production, farm produe-
tion, weather, insurance claims,
unemployment, social security
payments and welfare, alcohol
and tobacea consumption, do-
mestic disputes, tourism, con-
sumer price index, fines and
taxes” after the completion of
their campaign.

Rev.'Ted Bristow, a local
United Church minister, told
council he supported — his
church's call for a moratorium
on uranium development.

He said the bill would help
cereale a greater awareness and
understanding of the industry
by the public if enacted, and he
noted current legislation does
not involve any environmental
considerations, ‘

Bristow called for a com:
plete halt in both uranium
mining and exploration until a
full public inquiry is conducted
by the provincial government:

“L should think this halt
should include no exploration of
uranium deposits not only
because such exploration itself
might be hazardous to our
health, but also because once
you allow companies to spend
hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars on research they have an
argument, namely their invest-
ment, for pressing for the next
stage,” he said.

He said council may be
more knowledgable on the
uranium issue than most B.C.
residents, “including perhaps
those in Victoria whose deci-
sions or lack of decisions will be
crucial in the future of the

decisive, to doit us publicly as
sibly can, and to do it

“T cannot erase from my
mind the nagging prospect that
maybe, just maybe, mistakes in
uranium development will show
the thalidomide exercise was a
mosquito bite compared to the
cancer of radioactivity silently
out of control,” he said,

Mayor Audrey Moore told
the delegation their. informa-
tion would be forwarded to the
city's health and welfare com-
mittee for consideration and
recommendation back to coun-
