Price is just the beginning.

herbicide 2,4-D to control the growth
of in public parks.

Mr. Justice Peter Seaton, saying
the case against the herbicide lacked
sufficient merit, rejected an appli-
cation in which an environmental
group said the Kelowna project
posed a health hazard.

At issue was the city's use of 2,4-D,
a herbicide which, after a flurry of
environmental protests about 10
years ago, has been accepted as safe
by most regulatory authorities.

Now, says the Canadian Earth
Care Society, scientists have ex-
pressed a “strong suspicion" the
chemical is responsible for a marked
increase in the incidence of a rare
type of cancer.

“It takes 20 years of exposure to a
cancer-causing chemical before the
disease becomes evident,” society
lawyer Calvin Sandborn said. “This is
why there is now a new interest in
2,4-D.”

Sandborn, seeking. an interim

injunction to stop the spraying
pending an appeal of the authoriza-
tion, told the court the city failed to
consider alternative methods of con-
trolling dandelions.

“If you have found another way of
keeping lawns free from dandelions,
you could make a fortune,” Seaton
replied.

When Sandborn said a biological
alternative entails frequent mowing
and aeration of the lawn, the judge
said: “In other words, you accept the
dandelions.”

Sandborn's argument was that the
city, because it has only a licence, not
a permit, to spray, has misinter.
preted the statute governing the use
of herbicides in British olumbia.

Saying the licence applies only to
businesses engaged in the spraying
process, Sandborn said the city
should have obtained a spraying
permit, a document requiring it to
advertise its intention to spray.

He said the city's failure to obtain a
permit denied interested parties the
opportunity to object to the project.

JENKINS

continued from front poge
ing unemployment insurance, pen-
sions and medicare.

Following the speech, Jenkins met
with reporters and answered ques-
tions about his views on the issues.

Jenkins said the abortion issue is a
main topic of debate at the moment
with this year’s Supreme Court of
Canada decision which struck down
the old federal law. The physician
was careful but forthright in his pro-
choice stance.

“T'm not sure what the outcome of
the next round of discussions will
be,” he said of the ongoing debate on
the issue. “I think it will be
something along the line that within
the first 12 to 14 weeks of pregnancy
that a woman should be able to have
an abortion if she can have a con-
sultation with her doctor and the two.
of them agree that it’s necessary.”

He said the Liberal party will gain
points with western voters now that
the party has more western influ-
ence.

“Having a prime minister repre-
senting a British Columbia riding and
a Liberal government — that will see
to it that British Columbia voters get
more from the federal government
than they're used to getting,” he
said. “And so will the rest of the
western provinces.”

With talk of an upcoming election,
Jenkins was asked to predict a date
when Mulroney will drop the writ.

“I think that Mr. Mulroney will call
the election this coming Sunday,” he
said.

He added that once the election is
called he will find another physician
to take his place so he can “become a
full-time, 24-hour a day politician for
eight weeks.”

PCBs

continued from front page

chlorines and dioxins when burned.
Prized for their cooling abilities,
PCBs are still widely used in elec-
trical transformers, but were banned

from production in the 1970s.

Jensen said there are three PCB
storage locations in Castlegar and
four in Trail “of any size.” There are
also sites where smaller amounts of
PCBs are stored.

“You might have a half dozen of
these in various locations,” Jensen
said.

However, he said none of the
storagé locations are comparable to
the Quebec warehouse. He said the
PCB-contaminated material is stored
in sealeg 45-gallon steel drums “in a
secure location.” The locations are
regularly inspected, Jensen added

For instance, he said drums are
stored in the Cominco yard area,
which has a security system in place.
The buildings in which the drums are
stored are posted and restricted to
authorized personnel.

Jensen said the PCBs are awaiting
disposal at a planned hazardous
waste disposal site near Cache
Creek. He said in 1990 companies
now storing the PCBs will have an
option to either transport the mat-
erial to the disposal site or apply for
permits for long-term storage. How
ever, he said the long-term storage
permits will include stringent guide
lines.

Castlegar Fire Chief Bob Mann
expressed surprise when told PCBs
are stored in three locations in the
Castlegar area.

“I want to know where they're
stored,” said Mann.

However, he said as long as the
chemicals are stored away from all
vegetation, there shouldn't be any
problem. He noted that the greatest
danger comes from fire in weeds or
grass.

Mann also pointed out that West
Kootenay Power and Light Co. holds
seminars twice a year with local fire.

45-gallon barrels containing gravel
contaminated with PCBs are stored
at the Castlegar location.

However, Charlton said the level
of PCBs is less than one part per
million.

He said West Kootenay Power has
PCBs stored at seven sites in its
service area, the largest at Crawford
Bay on Kootenay Lake where 53
barrels are stored. Of those, 48
barrels contain contaminated gravel
with a maximum level of 4.6 parts
per million, and five contain a liquid
mixture with PCBs of higher levels.

Charlton said the utility company
is awaiting construction of the haz.
ardous waste disposal complex at
Cache Creek so it can dispose of the
stored PCBs.

He added that the storage areas
are secure. The barrels in Castlegar
are stored outside on timber in rows
with tarpaulin covering them. The
barrels in Crawford Bay are sealed
and stored inside locked large refuse
dumpsters.

The Regional District of Central
Kootenay in June asked the Ministry
of Environment for a complete in
ventory of PCB storage areas and the
amount stored.

The regional district has also asked
the ministry to outline what emer.
gency control equipment is available
to protect the public in the event of
an accident.

TRAIL

continued from front poge

Brisco made a point of telling the
media the funding is not an “election
goodie.”

“We started working on the appli
cation for the $312,000 a month and a
half, two months ago. This announce.
ment is not election-oriented, it is
common-sense oriented.”

Bill Profili, chairman of the com.
munity futures society, applauded
Brisco's work on the project, saying
the reason the society received the
funding was because of Brisco's hard
work.

Richard Maddocks, chairman of
the Central Kootenay Community
Futures Society, welcomed the an

saying Trail's
Project will be a help to the whole
region.\\_/—

Maddocks said the Central Koot
enay society also intends to apply for

a similar amount of funding under
the Community Initiatives Fund,
perhaps for waterway development.
However, he said the society invites
suggestions for a project.

He noted that the Trail society had
a year's head start to acquire the
funding.

“Ours will be comparable in value,”
he pledged.

TREET TALK

A CHALLENGE that goes back many years has
been resurrected by the Castlegar Kiwanis Club.

Kiwanians feel they can donate more blood at
the blood donor clinic here tomorrow than can
members of either the Rotary, Lions or Gyro clubs.

Kiwanis Club spokesman Merv Rush said years
ago all service clubs participated in the “fun”
challenge and with the clinic again being held, his
club felt the challenge should again be issued.

The Red Cross blood donor clinic is being held
tomorrow at the Sandman Inn between 2 and 8 p.m.

JIM BERNATH is at the Chahko Mika Mall in
Nelson today through Saturday with his Space
Odyssey exhibit.

The Burnaby resident, who has been touring the
country since 1982, has collected numerous artifacts,
photographs and actual equipment used in various
U.S. space programs over the years and is putting
them on display

“It’s a hands-on exhibit,” he told the Castlegar
News yesterday. “A lot of the equipment is still
space-ready.”

MOHAWK service stations are sporting a “new
look” in gasoline. The Burnaby-based oil company,
has quietly adjusted its formula to produce what
today’s drivers want: more vroom to the litre.

cent gasoline, five per cent methanol and five per
cent ethanol, has been phased out in favor of
Premium Plus, a 90-05 mix of gasoline and ethanol
with an octane rating of 98, designed for the new
muscle cars.

(Octane rating of premium unleaded is 91.5;
regular unleaded is 89). As cars are made with
higher compression engines, the need increases for
high octane-rated gasoline to prevent knock.

MARQUIS GLASS and Light Industries Limited
and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) are
warning owners of incadescent ceiling surface light-
ing fixtures manufactured by Marquis to stop using
them immediately because they pose a potential fire
hazard.

This recall applies to fixtures that are provided
with three or four candelabra base lampholders that
have an open bottom or a totally enclosed glass
diffuser. These fixtures are not CSA Certified, but
bear CSA labels.

Testing has revealed that overlamping may
cause the internal wiring to overheat

The manufacturer will replace returned fixtures
with CSA-Certified units. Replacement units will be
identified with caution labels and a date code. The
date code will consist of the month and year after
July 1988.

If you own one of these ceiling fixtures, package
it securely and return it to: Mr. Leon Blumenfeld,
