The coi n favors moving the chips by barge and researchers are investigating that op- tion. The group will also organize local residents to be chip truck watchdogs, following and monitoring them for possible infractions of highway traf- fic and safety laws. It intends to document. chip truck activity by video. The coalition plans to develop a questionnaire to get public input on “ safety and economics relating to chip trucks. This “‘polling device’’ is ex- pected to give the group a clearer sense of the community’s views, as well as be an ‘‘educational tool.’ Another barometer of opinion will be sought through ‘‘bigger, broader’’ public meetings. Wright said the group intends to lobby both Celgar and the Regional District of Central Kootenay to carry out the review panel’s recommen- dation for a task force that would undertake a cost-benefit analysis of alternatives to chip trucks. “*We want to make it clear that we want to work with Celgar on these issues,"’ Wright said. ‘‘The gover- nment, through the review panel, has given Celgar the go-ahead and Celgar should return a few concessions to the residents who made it clear they don’t want it. Industry has to start giving back to the people some of what has been taken.”’ Although workshop participants discussed a. number of direct action Strategies with a facilitator from the Argenta, Wright described the first workshop as ‘“‘organizational’’ and as a beginning step that could lead to direct action.

Cashews photo by Donna Zuber ae Final report By CasNews Staff The federal and provincial gover- nments have released the Celgar Ex- pansion Review Panel’s final report, the governments said today in a news release. The report contains a full analysis of the representations made by the public and government agencies to the panel about the $700 million project and a of released Kootenay — including the Castlegar Library and the Selkirk College Library — and in village and town offices. The final report will also be available at public libraries in Kettle Falls and Colville in Washington, at the Ministry of Regional and Economic Development Library in Victoria and at the Federal Environ- mental Assessment Review office in the panel’s reasons for its con- clusions and recommendations. The final report, a copy of which was not available to the Castlegar News before press time today, also contains the-panel’s 50 recommen- dations about the supply of wood chips for the new mill, transpor- tation, the pulp mill Process, air and The Celgar Expansion Review Panel was appointed in June 1990 under the auspices of the British Columbia Major Project Review Process and the féderal Environmen- tal Assessment and Review Process. Public hearings on the Celgar Project were held in Castlegar and ities in Septem- water quality, and social and community issues, the gover- nments said in the news release. Copies of the final report will be at libraries in the West Police 10 years ago, they recognized there was a 25 to 30 per cent benefit to the federal government,”’ policy analyst Ken Vance said Tuesday, pointing out that Otfawa uses the RCMP to populations over 15,000 would see their share of policing costs rise to 95 per cent from 91 per cent while municipalities under 5,000 would rise to 75 per cent from 70 per cent. As well, the cost base for all levels provide security services at events such as the Commonwealth Games. “They’re saying ‘we don’t have the revenue to keep operating this way’ though they haven’t come out and said that directly,"’ Vance said. B.C. municipalities with is proposed to increase 10 per cent. The cost base includes items like pension and UIC benefits. He added that Ottawa could com- plicate matters further by not allowing a phase-in period and put- ting the increases through regardless of negotiations. “Our understanding is that what - the solicitors general across Canada were told was (Ottawa) would ter- minate the existing RCMP contract at the end of the month and. start billing at the new rate. It’s unclear whether or not the federal gover- nment will go through with it.”” Meanwhile, other issues, such as contract language, won’t be addres- sed until the cost-sharing issue is set- tled. first workshop will be funnelled into the second, to be held March 17 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Appledale Hall. Wright indicated that although “‘we already have people committed to standing on the road, this is a last ditch attemipt to work with what is. If Celgar decides it won’t, we are getting more organized.”” Encouraged by the strength of the valley’s opposition to the chip trucks, expressed last fall at public hearings,,on the Celgar project, Wright said the group sees itself “focusing on long-term planning that” will result in the commuity taking charge of its own develop- ment.”” “*The coalition does not believe the public is gullible enough to think that improving the road will solve the chip truck problem,’ she said. Coroner continued from front page ras that.”* Now, with the fourth chief coroner Oglow has worked under, ‘‘the B.C. coroner’s service is second to none anywhere in the world.’* As for his own accomplishments, Oglow takes credit only for doing the job he was appointed to do. “*It boils down to the satisfaction that I fulfilled my appointment responsibilities,”’ he said. That appointment came via a phone call, asking him if he was interested in the job in early December 1978. He was given an hour to think about it. In that hour, Oglow talked to his wife, the staff Sergeant of the Castlegar RCMP, the hospital » the city i and the current coroner. said. “I phoned them back and they informed me there’d be documentation coming through and that At that time, and until two years ago, Oglow was also a justice of the peace — another job that dragged him out of bed in the middle of the night. He said he was one of three people in the province who. did both jobs at the same time. And what qualified him? “‘It was explained to me down at the Justice Institute that you have to have a personality that, you’re able to deal with any situation you run into, like dealing with the public and next of kin.’’ His appointment was first up two years ago, when he was 65, but it was extended until February because there was no reason he couldn’i carry on, he And now, it’s just time, he said. ber and October 1990. The panel prepared an interim report recom- mending approval in principle of the Project in December. Parks continued from front page come forward with recommendations to do something else with the money and said the city won’t use the aerator just on ballfields. Smecher replied that the city must “look after all of the parks and all of the uses.’’ She ‘and other aldermen listed several projects which need funding such as a possible sk “*There’s other parks in the area that will be asking for money."” However, he added: ‘‘I have no objection to spending it on Cone Hill if that’s where it’s needed.”” Kenn Hample, the city’s director of engineering and public works, said Preparation of the parks plan is not yet underway but is proposed in the 1991 budget. facility for youngsters, improvements to tennis courts and new sod on the lawnbowling area at Kinsmen Park. As well, the Castlegar and District Heritage Society is in need of funds, which come out of the city’s parks and recreation budget. “I’m hearing there’s going to have to be some trade-offs in the provisional budget,’’ Mayor Audrey Moore sai “Or we're going to have to come up ith some more money.”’ Ald. Lawrence Chernoff, who sparred with former alderman Patti Richards last year over funding of ballfields, reminded council Tuesday the city is getting ready to prepare a long-range. master plan for city parks. “I’ve got some concerns about spending that money at Cone Hill (Park) without having a five-year plan in effect,’* Chernoff said. City ini Gary Williams said the parks master plan will be a “four to five month project’? and will cost an estimated $20,000. Williams suggested Pakula and the rest of council need to take a few more swings at the parks budget. “I think that it would be fair to say the proposal to allocate capital for the 1991 budget is premature,” he said, at which point Smecher in- terjected: “‘And not too popular either.’’ Added Williams: “‘I think that we need a more thorough discussion of the priorities for parks in 1991 rather than the list here.’’ Pakula said work on the ballfields has to begin soon because the slo- Pitch season starts in mid-April. Council will try to set some priorities for 1991 parks spending in time for its regular meeting next Monday.
