A2 CASTLEGAR NEWS, November 28, 1979 We’re no Mississauga, but accidents happen—MacBain Castlegar is not a po- tential Mississauga. But like any community which is served by highways and railways, the city does face the possible hazard of PEP co-ordinator early this month, “We don't have the- volume that would be moving along those rail lines in an area so close to Toronto as " ig P' tation of dangerous sub- stances, That was how Bob Mac- Bain, local Provincial Emer- +gency Plan co- -ordinator, stimmed up the implications of this month's derailment of a’ train carrying 10 tons of deadly chlorine, which forced the evacuation of 100,000 residents of the Ontario municipality, for Castlegar. The hazard is not as great here because the quan- tity of dangerous chemicals transported through Castle- gar is not as great as that passing through Mississauga, said MacBain, who became -“We wouldn't be any- where near that potential but wherever there's a railroad or main highway you're look- ing at a possible spill,” he said. “You can't avoid this thought, because an accident will happen regardless of how well-organized every- body is. There's going to be an accident some way or other sooner or later and we just pray it won't be in our area — I imagine Mississauga prayed the same thing.” “There are explosives and gases in railroad tank ears going through just about Charged in $50,000 silver theft case Three Castlegar resi- dents were among four men arrested in connection with the theft of an estimated $50,000 from Trail's Cominco smelter.

Free some of $41m for fish spawning ground, TIDSA told Some of the $41 million the federal and provincial governments have allotted for B.C, tourism development should be spent on a fish ladder at the Inanoaklin River falls,- according to Lower Arrow Lake resident C.A. Anderson. In a brief presented on behalf of the Arrow Lakes Protective Association Nov. 8 to the agency dispensing the grants in the senior governments’ joint venture, Anderson called for funding for “the elimination of the falls on the Inanoaklin River to produce a natural spawn- ing river for the game fish or the Arrow Lakes system.” B.C. Hydro, the pro- vincial government and the B.C. Wildlife Federation have promised “since con- struction of the Keenleyside Dam,” to level out the falls where the river enters the Lower Arrow Lake at Edge- wood, the brief told the Travel Industry Develop- ment Subsidiary Association. But no fish ladder was - from between 1,370 and 1, 400. feet to a maximum of 1,446 feet above sea level during high water. “A great deal of talk is heard now regarding the construction of the Murphy dam. above Trail," Ander- son's brief continued. “Should, this be done, all pressures should be brought ‘ to bear to add a fish ladder and at the same time have one installed at the Keenley- "side dam.” Natural spawning in the Inanoaklin River “should adequately stock the Lower Arrow Lake and again pro- vide an incentive for the fish- ing public and tourists,” the brief said. The TIDSA controls $50 million, of which $9 million has already been allocated for the lower mainland's Whistler Village ski develop- * ment.

He said the inquiry re- quest “caught me a little off guard” although he was aware such a move had been considered. “It was something I had kind of dismissed from my mind,” he said. “It wouldn't have surprised me at an earlier point in time. It would have been a tremendous in- convenience both to myself and the operation of the city had they done it while I was an active alderman.” “As far as the effect it will have now, I've had con- ° tinuous conferences with my own lawyers during the time T've been in office," he con- tinued, “I'm ready for what- ever they present.” Section 728 of the Muni- cipal Act empowers the in- ter connected with the mu- nicipality or the conduct of any part of the business of the municipality, or when- ever any complaint is made ... respecting any matter of municipal business or affairs, actual or projected.” Gouk’s alleged conflict of tically reduced due to the loss of the natural spawning beds formerly used by the fish,” he said. He said the reduction was mainly a result of the change in water elevation interest was first raised by . Embree in late 1978 during debate over a land rezoning application by Banshee De- velopment Ltd., of which Gouk was president. : Although Gouk, as, re- quired by the Municipal Act, waited outside council cham- bers throughout debate over the rezoning bid, Embree charged that council had been compromised “in deal- ing with the rezoning of land in this city that’s being con- trolled and developed by another member of council.” The application was re- ferred to a public hearing in early 1979 but was finally rejected by council Jan, 23, This Chnistnas Include a Gift Subscription to the Castlegar News Perfect... moved away for friends or nelghbors who have Perfect . . . for a son or daughter no longer living at home Perfect... for a relative who has Interest In Castlegar and its growth Pertedt move h We'll send a Gift Card in your name Just phone us, and we'll be happy to bill you CASTLEGAR NEWS 365-7266 « for friends who may want to Airport manager John NEW FIRM Continued from page Al stalling. stop lights at the in- tersection of Kokanee Street and Columbia Avenue.
