resulted in “politics of con-

Cocchia said the B.C. Lib-

would see additional funding. to

spent on preventative medi-
cine and home care, and smal!
business loans to sales and
services businesses which

would improve the tourism
industry. »

. He said the Liberals also

sales tax phased out in four

years. ~

“We don't expect to do this

‘ tomorrow but with a little
work, we can do this in four
years,” he said,

Cocchia also said he sup-
ported ‘an end to gasoline
taxes and the removal of
school «taxation for home-

Peitzsche, a 53-year-old in-

- termediate accountant at BC
Timber’s Celgar operations
who has admitted to sup-
porting the Western Canada

would advocate an end to
school taxation. 2

“Let's . take those ‘acho!

homeowners'and give the old

life. Take it (money for.’edu-

Peitzsche ‘said he decided

said.

Peitzsche also called for
equalization of funding for
school districts anda firm

ties to promote Feforestation

DON'T EXPECT the new w Safeway itore to be open
in time for Christmas ~- at least that's .the word from
Safeway spokesman Ken Horwood. Ken says the store is

for, in. early Di but. won't
likely be open until the first two weeks of January.

Reason for the delay is that the new store is almost
double the size of the old store and it will take some time
to get the kinks out. And Christmas time — with the
usual holiday season rush — just isn't the time to iron out
the bugs.

Ken says plaka were to open the store in early

in time for Chri: but the pany lost a‘
month somewhere along the way and just won't be able to
make the time.up. Oh-yes, the land, building and new
“ equipment for the store is valued at a cool $3 million, Ken
says.

Work on the store is set to. begin this week with a a
-deadline of May 5 at the latest.

ON A SIMILAR note, the Boel plaza that will accom-
pany the new Safeway store in its location just north of
the Hi-Arrow Arms Hotel, will occupy about $2,000

consist of strictly commercial stores. F

Plans are for office. space as well as retail space:
Thus, you can expect things like doctors’ and dentists’
offices in the plaza along with’ the’ usual retail fair.

NOT EXACTLY THE hub of the provincial election ,
campaign, nevertheless, Castlegar has had its moments
in the spotlight, with NDP leader Dave Barrett's visit
here last week and Premier Bill Bennett's stopover at

paigning in Nelson. :

Barrett's visit was short, bit sw at leas :
