y however, |
would like our council to know
why we came to this area to
live, aia
We have lived in several of
the larger cities in Alberta and
British Columbia, over the
years, and grew very alarmed
over the increasing crime and
drug rates growing in these
places.

We worked with several
youth groups, and the stories,
of what we saw, would make,
your heart ache for these kids,
We knew we had to find a safe,
decent place to raise our family,

yet not cut them off completely -

from the things city life could
give them,

We came here for a week-
end visit—at the time we were
living in Calgary—and found
just the environment in which
we would like to raise our
children; clean, peaceful, and as
secure as one can expect in this
day and age.

Two weeks later we moved
here, and up to this point have
not had any regrets.

However, we will leave

‘just as quickly if our. city
fathers do something as stupid
as to let a maximum security
prison in this area. According
to what information we have

been able to get—and I might |

add, not through the news
media—over 70 per cent of the
inmates would probably be
drug-oriented, which would in-
crease the drug traffic in this
area 10 times, if not more.
Our young people do not
need this kind of encourage-
ment. They get enough from
their peer groups. I'm afraid
parents these days cannot rely

so completely on a hopefully .

good upbringing, as one could
when we were growing up.
The element of visitors for
the inmates for the most part
would probably be those who
should also be “inside” but for
the “Grace of God", or their
‘cunning, are not, Their pres-
ence in our area would destroy
completely and forever, our
peaceful, secure way of life in

this city.

t

T realize that the people in
favor of this prison are looking
at this endeavor with a dollars-
and-cents ‘attitude, but Isn't
there more to this than the
“Almighty Dollar"? We honest.
ly believe our happiness and
that of our children is worth
much more. °

* Qur suggestions for a

prison location would be the
Northwest Territories or an
island off the coast. Then, if
there was an escape, the
security of the ‘surrounding
families and homes would not
be threatened.

Not Too Early to Make
Penitentiary Decision .

Editor, Castlegar News:

In reply to an article in the
Trail Times entitled “Too Early
to Make a Decision on The
Pen", I would like to state that
if the word “pen” is used, this is
possibly the first mistake Mr.
Brady has made. “Pen”, as a
rule, is a term that is applied to
‘a_chicken coop, cattle pen or
hog pen.

T personally feel that itis
not too early to make a decision
on whether we should have a
maximum security prison in our
area of Castlegar.

I think-we should “strike
while the iron is hot”. If we
don't do this and let matters
cool off, something we don't
want could sneak in quietly and
silently like a thief in the night

\ and we would be stuck with it

when it is too late to complain.

‘
In the first place, I feel that
neither. Gordon Brady nor

Terry Tuck have anything. to

complain about. They, or at
least Gordon Brady, seems to
be spearheading the deal, and
Terry Tuck is ‘coming behind
with a bucket and washcloth to
wipe up the blood from the

"bleeding hearts,

I feel: that Gordon Brady's
arlicle in the Trait Times is a
personal affrontyto everyone in
the Castlegar area. What right
has he to assume that he has a
greater amount of average in-
telligence than anyone else?

. True, he is only human and is

entitled to his own opinion, but
believe me, so is every. other
human being in this area.

Heel that we, the people of
Castlegar as a whole, may be in
the process of being taken for a
one-way ride if we don't fight
this thing now.

Talso feel that the article in
the Trail Times is a personal
affront by.Mr. Brady against
Burt Campbell and the Castle-
gar News. I think the straw
vole was, and is, a very geod
way of gelting public opinion on
things and at least it is done

right out in the open—there is.

nothing illegal about it.

CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, January 27, 1977.

Believe me, no one ever
got something for nothing,
Government for the people and
by the people nowadays is a
pretty thin picture. You can be
sure that if maximum security,
prison should be built in this
area, most of the construction
crew, ete., would come from
outside this area. Also. the
guards, maintenance. crews,
uniforms, etc, es

This old fairy tale about
nobody ever escaping from a
maximum security federal pri-
son is about as true as the story
of Jack and the Bean Stalk.

A.new system of garbage
disposal may appear soon in
several areas of Central Koot-
enay after a regional meeting
‘Thursday.

After heated exchanges in
which rural areas accused Nel-
son of getting a better deal at
their expense, the board voted
unanimously to fund garbage

. _ Board members, however,
refused to be satisfied, some
pointing out that Nelson has.
not paid into the garbage func-

tion.

“T'm-opposed to the out-
right grant to the city of
Nelson,” director Moran said.
“There should be some re-
covery of this money.” .

for
those who want them.

The compactors will not
end the region's problems of
waste disposal. Where the
material will go has not yet
been decided but it may well be
imposed on areas which don't
want it.

While the Ootischenia
dump is owned and was paid for
by area residents, it is con-
trolled through 2 lease by the
regional district. .

Area I director J. P. Moran

fumed when regional adminis-.

trator Gene Bodard said legal
action would be taken if. the
lease agreement is not lived up
to. Moran indicated he: would
fight the imposed dumping of

_ garbage at the Ootischenia site.

Why Nelson was given
money from Slocan to buy com-

pactors was not explained: by _

Bodard. Questioned repeatedly
by Slocan Valley director Nor-
man Brewster and area J
* director Martin Vanderpol, Bo-
dard trembled with rage, at
times almost unable to-speak.
Chairman A. K. McAdams
told board members to either
vote non-confidence in the ad-
ministrator or remain silent. No
motion was made.

the Candidate with a Record
for getting the Job done.

“some justification” for the
initial complaint by. Brewster
that his area’ is in fact sub-
sidizing garbage disposal for
Nelson. 2

Gaining support from
other directors, notably Martin
Vanderpol and J. D. Morris
(representing large areas a-
round the north arm of Koot-
enay Lake), Brewster asked
Bodard who had given him
authority to take the money
fromthe Slocan area and pass it
on to Nelson.

At the last board meeting
two weeks ago, Brewster had
forcefully asked for that in-
formation in writing, and was
furious that it had not been
provided. What Bodard did
supply was eight pages of
history regarding the garbage
problem. ‘

After more than an hour of
heated debate, Vanderpol sug-
gested that area E be included
in the pilot garbage disposal
project along with Nelson.
After that, he said, the question
of whether or not Nelson owes
area E money could be ex-
plored. .

McAdams wanted no area
shown’ preference, saying all
areas of the region should be
allowed to start paying for and
receiving garbage compactors
immediately. A motion’ to that
effect was adopted.

Brewster said. he would *
support the molion if by the
next meeting the administrator +
will answer in. writing why
more than $10,000 left his area

- for Nelson in the first place.

In a show of hands, repre-
sentatives of the following
areas said they want to get
their garbage compactors as
secon as possible: Silverton,
New Denver, Nakusp, Creston,
Area H (Slocan Valley), Area F
(North Shore) and Area E (east
and west of Nelson).
