‘New breed’ not new

The District Parents C
has a lot of nerve. Calling itselt “a
new breed”, the parents who
make up the committee say they
feel a responsibility to be involved
and to see that their childrens’
educational needs are met.

It's an attitude that borders on
arrogance. It implies that parents
in other years were either not in-
terested in their childrens

d ion or weren't fulfilling their
responsibility. The committee
needs only to ask any longtime

| Castlegar educator about the role
of parents in this district in years
past to find out that the “new
breed” isn't all that new.

That aside, the parents commit-

tsc . The board repi

ts the community as a whole. That
includes pensioners, the unem-
ployed, business, as well as paren-
ts.

That also means the board is an-
swerable to a community which in-
cludes not only the parents group,
but others, a fact the parents
committee seems to be
overlooking.

The parents committee is
demanding that the Castlegar
school board not only recognize it
@s a quasi-political organization,
but consult with the committee on
everything from teacher curbacks
to rioon-hour supervisors.

The parents committee says it
would like to have inpu! betore
any “radical changes” are made.
That sounds fair enough, but the
committee includes in its list of
radical changes the ot

facelift. Maree stores still have the
same exteriors they had 25 years
ago.

However, some businesses have
shown just what a little sprucing up
can do — the Haack Building and
the medical clinic by West's are
two examples.

But it’s not just the stores them-
selves that need a new look. The
whole downtown needs a facelift.
That means planting trees and lan-
dscoping the sidewalks, perhaps

noon-hour supervisors — hardly a
radical change for students.

Certainly, the board should con-
sult with parents of children attec-
ted by things such as school
closures, teacher cutbacks and
changes in busing where the
changes ore more than cosmetic.

It's up to the school board to en-
sure that the community is kept
intormed of educational
by discussing those issues in
_ and not behind closed com-
doors or in special
meetings.

But in the end, the board is the
group that voters in this com-
munity elected to run our
education system — not the paren-

even hanging some flower baskets
and installing decorative lighting.

The only concern is the DBA’s
decision to spend $6,000 to
upgrade the old downtown
revitilization plan.

The old plan apparently needs to

ded; it just isn't workabl
in its | present form. That's fine.

But it should be kept in mind
what happened to the last plan.
Thousands of dollars were spent
on it, only to have it collect dust at
city hall while landowners and the
city go ahead and do what they
want anyway.

The $6,000 would be better spent
on actually fixing up the downtown
it after the plan is upgraded,
nothing is done with it.

Fred
Merriman

A 70-year-old pensioner explained
it this way: “My only income is from
the various government pension
plans. It amounts to $719 a month or
$9,628 a year.

“This puts me below the poverty
line which is now recognized at
$10,000 per annum. The rent is $118
in a senior citizen villa. We ride free
on the ferry during the week. We
have pharmacare.

“Senior citizen discounts are
available on transit services and a
host of other services ranging from
live theatre to education. Groceries
cost $50 per month because my
appetite requires less than 1,000
kilo-calories a day.

“I rent a TV set for $20. In blunt
English, I deposit $400 a month into
my travel account.

“I have worked for more than 50
years at jobs from waitress to
chambermaid at wages randing
from 50 cents to $3.65 per hour.

Fortunately my health is quite
good. I have never had so much
money in my whole life. I just
cannot understand why the rest of
the pensioners are protesting so
much about the removal of index.
ing.”

! I can tell you honestly that this
particular pensioner was not com
plaining at all. She also went on to
say that she knows quite a few
pensioners who have houses all paid
for and substantial nest eggs of cash
resting in savings accounts as a
result of dear old dad's insurance

attempt to keep warm in winter
huddled beside the hot plate and a
black cup of coffee.

Nevertheless, I agree with the
removal of indexing or cost of living
increases in the pension or any
other form of income — including
Canada savings bonds. Indexing
simply plans for inevitable inflation.
Inflation is no longer guaranteed.
Can you imagine the introduction of
a deflation index?

Now, if you will promise to keep it
a secret, I will share the real reason
that indexing has been removed.
Promise? The old age pension plan
does not exist.

I, like the rest of the unsuspecting
population, always assumed that
CCP contributions were deposited
into a nice safe bank account and
earning interest at current rates.
Perhaps the wise and knowledge-
able were skilfully investing those
contributions into Treasury Bonds
or blue chip stocks.

Such an old age pension plan
would be called a vested plan. Ours
is a non-vested plan therefore con-
tributions have been used since the
outset for the daily and routine
operation of government business.
You should be shocked. I was.

The toe-dipping routine in the
recent budget was invoked to test
reaction and prepare the next wave
of pensioners for the inevitable. All
private pension plans are required
by law to ensure the liquidity and
jurisprudent application of pension
contribution funds.

interested in une programs related to
fish culture and enhancement progr-
ams and the Fish Conservation Pro-
gram in the West Kootenay area. This
area takes in the Arrow Lakes and the
Slocan waterways as well as the
Kootenay.

At the present time, there happens
to be a great deal of discussion going on
about the improveiient of the fishing
on the Arrow Lakes. To help
accomplish this, the use of the
Inonoaklin Creek seems to be the one
area where fish could spawn by the
millions if they could gain access to
these waters.

Preventing fish from the Arrow

Lakes entering and ‘then going up
Inonoaklin Creek is a very low falls at
Edgewood very close to the Lower
Arrow Lake. Here, the Fisheri
Branch of the Ministry of the Environ-
ment wants to construct a bypass or
fishway past the falls to enable the fish
to be able to swim up the river to
spawn.

Discussions by Nakusp and Arrow
Lakes wildlife clubs on the subject of
bypassing the falls have been going on
for more than 50 years. This chairman
can recall meetings being held on this
subject in those days. The mouth of the
Inonoaklin Creek is in Edgewood and

Farmers not opposed

Editor, Castlegar News:

With regard to the continuing debate
over the proposed fish ladder on
Inonoaklin Creek, I would like to offer
the ing points for i

and the Inonoaklin Valley for the
fishing, let them consider the effect on
tourism of thousands of dying and
rotting spawners.

If built on Inonoaklin Creek, the fish
ladder will impose the cost of compen.
sation for lost fishery in the Lower
Arrow Lake on the shoulders of a few
farmers.

Is this compensation still required
when already more fish have been
stocked in Inonoaklin Creek than were
originally estimated (or guess-timated)
to have been lost in the first place?

There are other creeks which could
be utilized, perhaps not as easily for
the Fish and Wildlife Branch but at
very little inconvenience to residents,
since most of these alternative sites are
virtually uninhabited.

Fishing and tourism would be
greatly enhanced on the entire Arrow
Lake if Hydro would stabilize the level
of the lake. And for those who think
that tourists would flock to Edgewood

klin farmers are not opposed
to fishery enhancement on the Lower
Arrow Lake but don't feel that they
should bear the entire cost for a project
that will (or is supposed to) benefit
everyone on the lake from Burton
south to the dam.

It is the future threat of great
expense and inconvenience that the
farmers are trying to prevent now by
asking that the fishway be put
someplace other than the one area that
stands to lose so much economically
and which can so ill afford such losses.

In conclusion, I ask that those who
want a fish ladder on Inonoaklin Creek
consider the alternatives and the
consequences if the project proceeds
here.

Arrow Lakes. At the present time,
several large dairy farms lie on both
sides of the creek. This gives the farm
owners title to the land under the
waters of the river.

Now we understand the Fisheries
people want to have the farmers give
up full jurisdiction over the water
running through the farms. The water
flow in the river is very low during
August, September, and October.

Why should the Nelson Rod and Gun
Club get involved in the program? We
are not going to get involved. The only
thing that we are saying is that the
farmers’ livelihood and products are
most important. The farmers are just
as concerned about the fish and the
wildlife as we are.

Therefore, we feel that co-operation
by all concerned is the only way to
come to a successful and amicable

ssolution to this mogt imporgant
«multiple aise proposal. If it cannot be
solved this way, then we should forget
the entire program and resort to other
methods of fish enhancement.

“I smoked marijuana for 20 years

“The only thing wrong with cannabis

FEDERAL HEALTH minister Jake
Epp gave an interesting reply to Mac
Lean’s magazine reporter Terry Har
greaves, during a recent radio inter.
view. Hargreaves asked Epp a ques-
tion about AIDS — Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome.

“We've been hearing about it for
several years and recent reports sug-
gest that it is increasing, that it affects
a greater number and a greater variety
of people in the population,” Har.
greaves said. “Is it just a scare headline
kind of thing or is it something the
average Canadian should be concerned
about?”

Epp misheard the word “AIDS” as
“age” and came up with the following:
“As someone once said, it's better than
the option.

“But I think you have to keep in mind

that it is not a problem. Old people are
not a problem but it is an issue that we
have to deal with as a society and it is a
challenge for society.”

FORMER LIBERAL solicitor gen.
eral Robert Kaplan on the patronage
issue:

“There is an area where I think it's
important for the government to have
political confidence in the people to
whom it’s giving government business.

“Where competitive bidding doesn't
work, where developing the image of
the government doesn’t work, where
price competition is not a factor,
patronage has been the traditional
Canadian method of awarding work in
those areas.

“And the Liberals did it and the
Conservatives are doing it now.”

grams and is six feet tall, says “Just
because you're big you don't have to

He also says he exercises daily to

This keeps me from getting stiff and

Star Wars

Editor, Castlegar News:

Our government is still considering
its response to the U.S. invitation for \
Canadian participation in Star Wars.

Unless our government policy
changes, Canada will be drawn further
into the nuclear arms spiral. Star wars,
MX missiles, stealth bombers and
cruise missiles represent new escala-
tions in weapon developments that
propel us ever more dangerously close
to nuclear annihilation. The money
spent on these arms in Canada and
elsewhere is daily killing jobs and
suffocating the economy.

Defence spending will climb in
Canada to a staggering $9.4 billion in
1985-86. Canada’s military ing is

fighter jets, new warships, and an $800
million new North Warning System
which both opposition parties in
Parliament have pointed out could be
used for offensive purposes.

At the same time that Ottawa is
increasing military spending, it is
cutting old age benefits and increasing
taxes.

In the U.S. the burgeoning military
budget has caused deep cuts in student
loans, farm subsidies, and health and
welfare programs that benefit the aged
and impoverished.

The huge increase in military
spending has driven up interest rates
pee S. and in Canada and has led to

rising at three per cent above inflation
and the new government has promised
to increase this rate even more.

, Nearly one-third of that money is
going for costly and defective F-18

That unemployment and poverty is
being exported all over the globe. Cash
is flowing into the U.S. from all over
the world, including Canada. Profit
takes cash in on interest rates driven

fueled by the arms race.

‘The Unioh of Concerned Scientists
warns that SDI (Star Wars) will lead to
an every escalating arms race, and that
it is the major obstacle blocking a
Soviet-U.S. arms agreement. Fifty-four
Nobel Peace Prize recipients and half
the Academy of Scientists in the U.S.
have recently initiated a TV ad
campaign to warn the public of the
dangers of Star Wars.

Yet the Canadian government has all
but pledged support for Star Wars in
the hope of getting new jobs, industrial
beneifts and investment capital from
the defence contracts.

A Harvard economist recently
estimated that Canada stands to gain a
maximum 300 j from Star Wars.
And for every dollar the U.S. spends in
Canada we will have to spend a dollar
in the U.S. under the Canada-U.S.
Defence Production Sharing Agree-
ment. Canada has, in fact, always come
up short in these contracts and has run
a consistent trade deficit for the last
five years.

But look what we get for our dollars
of investment. Recent studies show
that defence spending creates 75,710
jobs for every $1 billion invested. For
the same money you get 92,071 jobs in
mass transit, 100,072 jobs in construc-
tion, 138,939 jobs in health care, and
187,299 jobs in education.

Make no mistake the big losers in
military trade with the U.S. will be the
workers and the unemployed.

Dr. Bernard Field, physics professor
at Massachusetts Institute of Techno-

worked on the first atomic bomb said,
“SDI is pie in the sky. It offers nothing.
It is an illusion.”

With the Open Learning Institute, you study at home for credits that can earn
you a recognized OLI University Degree, Career/Technical Certificate or High

universities

Home study with OLI is the modern, flexible way to learn because it’s geared
to your schedule and your budget.

Comprehensive course packages come in the mail so you study when it’s

tapes for some courses) are all included in the course fee. Tutors and advisors are
available via toll-free telephone to help you with your coursework and program
planning
