Reibin said the ministry officials claimed the $265,700 ‘allocated fer student services trepresented an increase over slast year's budget, but he cquestioned whether the in- Serease would amount to the -.$40,000 figure they had quoted. But the ministry did grant yan extra $30,000 for adult basic yeducation, and $29,700 for night demic-technical school on the pus, he said. Under present legislation the education ministry is sup- posed to share costs 60-40 with colleges, Reibin said, but in this year's budget the ministry was - sharing up to 72 per cent.

The finance committee is scheduled to approve and ex- amine all departmental dis- in time for the P: ty minis- try's three top-level councils, created under the Act, for funds, he said, The college will begin setting up the new bud- getting system in accordance with the act later this summer, he said.

Also last Thursday, the college council approved a $1,166,785 operating budget— excluding the cost of moving the Kootenay School of Art— and a $28,585 capital budget for Nelson’s David Thompson Uni- versity Centre. Asked by Duane Williams, Selkirk College Faculty Asso- ciation observer, why the col- lege requested more funds for the DTUC budget when it had a surplus carried over from last year, Anderson said this year's budget was for a 12-month period rather than the nine- month period for which the Previous budget was allocated. In addition, the costs of such projects as opening La- Sallette Hall as a student resi- dence, operating the gym- nasium throughout the school year and making the library more accessible to the public must be included in this year's budget, he said.

Contacted by the Castlegar News yesterday, Nielsen said © his statement about local opin- fons on groundwater sources was “a general opinion con- sistent on all occasions" and not specifically directed towards local problems. “Groundwater can be a very permanent solution to water supply problems.”, Asked about his statement on premature. public involve- ment in decisions on a water supply for the area, Nielsen said the city residents were petitioning for a specific system before the investigation of the Selkirk College well had been completed. “They must be made aware of the costs involved in one alternative as opposed to the other alternative,” the minister id. If tests prove the well can provide sufficient water for the area the cost of securing it as a water supply will be consider- ably cheaper than the cost of the Arrow Lakes plan, he said. Asked to explain the minis- ter's reference to local remedial regulatory measures, Nielsen's researcher Steve Phillips said that if information in engineer- ing reports examined by the ministry are correct, “with appropriate water use mea- sures in effect, a critical water supply situation could be avoid- ed this summer.” City council members Tuesday were critical in their response to thé environment minister's letter. Ald. C. S. Fowler, water committee chairman, said Niel- sen’s reply expressed “very little appreciation” for the amount of work Gouk and other residents devoted to the peti- tion campaign, and had “an air of discourtesy.”. \ He said Ootischenia red dents with whom he has dis- ‘On the Line’ To be Shown Monday Night “On the Line”, a 1977 film ‘about the effects of the econo- mic recession on working peo- , ple in North America, will be shown Monday evening at the Regional Recreation Complex in Castlegar. Following the free film, city council members Bud God- deris and Len Embree will participate in a discussion about the film and about how it relates to the situation in this area, Both councillors have ex- pressed a need to receive input from the community on issues that-are of concern and they hope that people will take ad- vantage of this gathering to express their needs. For more information about the film, please call Ann Holden of Blueberry Creek or Cathy Cristofoli in Castlegar. Premier is Too Busy to Discuss Diversion Premier Bill Bennett is too busy to meet with the Regional District of Central Kootenay board to discuss local concern over B.C. Hydro's proposed Kootenay Diversion. That was the word from Tony Tozer, Bennett's execu- . tive assistant, who said in a two-paragraph letter the pre- mier had too heavy a schedule of meetings and legislative duties to grant the board's previous requests for a meeting to discuss the planned diversion of the Kootenay River into the Columbia River at Canal Flats. Receiving copies of the letter last Thursday, RDCK board members approved Area E director Clive Paul's motion that discussion of the exeetu- tive assistant’s reply be tables until the board's May 6 meet- ing. ‘Wi, 401 Front St., Castlegar] cussed area water problems have agreed “that pursuit of the Selkirk aquifer is stupid.” “More and more people are becoming more and more im- patient with the lack of action,” he said, “There's a unanimity of opinion among people from all walks of life.” Gouk said he would like to reply to the minister "in certain areas I take exception to.” “I don't find it insulting,” Gouk said. “I find it rather typical.” Fowler said city repre- sentatives will try to “pin down" municipal affairs Minis- ter Hugh Curtis on the-issue of financing for the Arrow Lakes plan at an Association of Kootensy Boundary Municipal Regulate .

To Meet Planning Pept. To Sei City’s Priorities The city planning com- mittee will meet with Regional District of Central Kootenay, planning department staff to discuss the city’s planning priorities, committee chairman Ald. Len Embree said Tuesday. Embree told council mem- bers city staff, in response to a letter from RDCK planning director Floyd Dykeman, had been instructed by his commit- tee. to set up a meeting for discussion of the city’s planning problems and project requests. Dykeman's letter said the meeting should be closed “as some of the subject matter can be best discussed in closed session.” “The meetings should he viewed as intensive sessions identifying and thoroughly dis- cussing local problems and _ appropriate processes for solu- tions,” the letter said. “From the regional district planning department point of view the meetings are viewed as infor- mation sessions.” Upon completion of meet- - ings with representatives of the city and other municipalities and electoral districts in the RDCK, the planning depart- ment will prepare a planning program which will eventually be endorsed by the board of directors, the letter said, RDCK board members called March 16 for a planning department examination of all areas’ priorities after they rejected the city’s request for a partial exemption from regional | planning costs, Soon to Hire $900-a-Month Youth Worker Castlegar’s youth commit- tee is scheduled to hire its $900- a-month youth worker by Mon- day, according to city council's health and welfare committea - chairman. Ald, Bud Godderis said ” Tuesday the four-member youth committee, appointed by council in March, were screen- ing 13 applicants for the posi- tion this week before picking the successful candidate. After the appointment of the youth worker—who will be * employed by the city to deal with the problems of local youth and will be responsible to | the committee—the first prior- ity will be “to establish close contact” with youth committee members, Godderis said. Granite Mountain Project Granite Mountain Develop- ments, Inc. moved a step closer towards establishing a housing development at the foot of Granite Mountain near Ross- land's Red Mountain ski area Wednesday night of last week. A public hearing for a bylaw covering a land use contract between GMD and the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary was held at the IOOF hall in Rossland with nearly 40 people in.attendance, The bylaw is necessary to change the single-dwelling, 10- acre lot requirement of the rec- reational area -the proposed development is in, to legally allow the construction of 17 single-family dwellings and 25 condominium units, The project has come to public hearing several times and opposition from the public, as well as doubts on the part of ‘Moves One Step Closer RDKB directors, have killed | previous bylaws. In part, this has been because of contro- versy about a parcel of land, called Lot 20, that is adjacent to the ski area. The Red Mountain Ski Club had mounted an extensive anti-development campaign, but a compromise has now been reached and the developer, as soon as the latest bylaw has been passed, will convey .to the club the entire parcel of Lot 20, Although environmental- ists and residents in the area are still opposed to the develop- ment and requested that RDKB directors “listen to the people for a change”, director George Milne, who chaired the hearing, said that the developer had the right to go on applying for a land use contract and the RDKB had then to prepare a bylaw and take it to public hearing.

Comaintoate B. R. How- ard announced that, for the ninth time in 12 years, the division exceeded its campaign quota. “This was a particularly noteworthy accomplishment in that the $1 million barrier was breached for the first time since the campaigns of World War II. Reseipts totalling $1,067,091 ‘were realized—a truly - out- standing effort in view of the economic problems prevalent today.” . “These monies were used for international relief, for Red Cross youth special projects, for several new pilot programs and, finally, for covering out- post hospital deficits.” . The two-day meeting, which brought together dele- gates from all over the province as well as the Yukon, em- phasized self-analysis. Presi- dent of the division, J. Gordon Squire, set.the tone by high- lighting one of the major con- Economic Outlook.

The review, distributed Monday of last week, said the gross provincial product rose by an estimated 4.3 per cent in 1977 after inflation compared to less than three per cent for the country as a whole. The report estimates real growth this year will be 4.8 per cent. Tt said demands will re- main high for B.C. wood pro- ducts, especially lumber, which has been supported by the drop in the Canadian dollar and by a strong U.S. housing market. The report said explora- that of 197, Construction work on the Revelstoke Dam and the Coqui- halla Highway will provide a significant boost to the con- struction industry, which has been faced with an uncertain housing market, the report id. : The tourism outlook is good, although British Colum- bians continue to spend more ~ money outside B.C. than is spent here, the report said. The report said inflation is expected to slacken and con- sumer-disposable incomes in- crease as a result of tax con- cessions. cerns which he felt the society must come to grips with. “The extent to which we, in Red Cross, succeed or fail,” Squire stated, “will depend primarily on our ability to establish an effective communi- cation network.” He went on to suggest that both staff and volunteers must “aggressively ensure” that the channels of communications between them- selves ‘are always open, He reminded the staff that their respective programs should have, built into them, the mechanics toencourage and - receive input from the local level. Regional vice-president, John M. Woods, was one_of the 800° delegates attending the meetings. He brought-with him some of the local concerns and was encouraged that so much priority was placed on Feces) ing these concerns. Current administrator of the AntiInflation Board, Don- ald Tansley, was the guest speaker and he, too, came with concerns to express. Tansley, prior to his AIB bership when members of the ‘Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 170 held their monthly meeting on i evening in the Legion was noted that the eal LA. at the annual _ ‘meeting in May, 1979 will be celebrating a ‘golden anniver- in ‘B.C.
