Aa Castlégar News June 18, 1989 Stop dumping The dumping of household garbage and oth retuse on the vacant lands along the Columbia River bétween the Inland Gas Park and Zuckerberg tstand in Castlegar is nothing less than deplorable, The people who continue to use the area as their own private. dump rather than use the Ootischenia refuse site show an utter lack of civic pride. Their actions demonstrate contempt for those who are trying to stop the dumping and clean up the land. They should be ashamed of themselves. Because of the irresponsible acts of a few citizens of Castlegar, city officials-will likely step in with the heavy hand of government, imposing fines or closing off the area or both. Ald. Terry Rogers, obviously exasperated with the situation, said at last week's city council meeting the city is exploring toughening up” the restrictions on dumping and “perhaps something that would allow for fines. It's an absolute eyesore down there ‘We'd really like to get tough with them (the people the first time. who dump) Ald. Rogers said, not for It's unfortunate a few rotten apples are forcing city officials to consider “getting tough’ with their own citizens. But, as Ald. Rogers noted, The campaign for public awareness is not doing a whole lot Provincial regulations will not likely help As Barry Wood, head of the municipal section of the provincial Environment Ministry's Waste Management Branch in Nelson told us fines for illegal dumping are only in the $100 range, hardly a deterrent And before waste management can impose a fine, the branch's staff must sift through the garbage to find clues to identify the culprits, unless they are caught red-handed. It hardly seems worth the effort for $100, which is probably what the idiots who dump the garbage figure The question is, can the’ city get tough where the provincial government can't? We're by no means experts on municipal law, but it seems unlikely there is anything in the Municipal Act which wou!d allow council to impose fines of a more substantial nature to deter the dumping So what's the answer? Tougher provincial laws on illegal dumping « fines would help But in Castlegar's case, the obvious answer is to develop the property for recreational and, of course, money hed by stitter and it'll take time use. A recreational vehicle park and a pitch-and-putt golf course are but two good ideas which have been suggested Such a development would indeed be an asset to the city which for various reasons, has been stuck with a reputation as being ugly (See the letter on this page from a former resident tor an idea of what some people think of Castlegar.) But, as we said, major improvements take time. Until they take place, small gestures by Castlegar residents would help discriminate dumping such as an end to in It really does boil down to civic pride Attitudes help win recognition Castlegar’s Abilities Awareness Ad- visory Committee is proud to congratulate the City of Castlegar and the Castlegar school district for win ning a Five Star Community Award in the area of education during National Access Awareness W eek The major goal of this week was to promote public that in.

There is not a single sporting event, geographical or cultural attraction to draw tourists or anybody to this town has potentially good fishing (except for the pollution), it has good windsurfing and so on. if this town is sick, and believe me it is, then I think that.one can look at two major groups of illnesses. | The first illness is mental, brought on by a complete lack of leadership, including national, provincial and most importantly civic and business. cond illness is industrial disease caused by decades of inhaling The bi e: of this should be absolutely ashamed of this civic record here, and if they are going broke (as many seem to be doing) they should be aware that the blame falls squarely on their shoulders Castlegar has many attributes.

Our previous MP failed to give us this simple information. Maybe the NDP MP can tell us how many decades we have already been paying this debt? How many times over have we paid this debt? How many more times do we still have to pay it? 1 have a publication called Life Gazette the newsmagazine for fighting Christians dated Magch 1989 which states, “World economy about * The information given in this newsmagazine is well beyond my to collapse. comprehension However, if this information is true, then it appears that we have no gover nment.

Now, having made the metamor: phosis from reporter for the province’s most-watched newscast to munications guru for the Social Credit government, Sopow prefers the shadows. “I can’t really give interviews at all,"’ says Sopow, 41, who demanded them. “‘It's just not my policy,’’ he adds, in his capacity as assistant deputy minister of the public affairs bureau. “Tean’tdo it as acivil servant.” But try as he might, anonymity is proving elusive for Sopow, a scholarly looking man who seems to raise hackles wherever he goes, whether as a reporter or as a high-powered member of the government's inner circle. Originally Sopow was hired by the premier’s office to develop a 10-year economic plan for the Socred gover- nment. A draft of the master plan was disappointing and Sopow moved on to his current job.

A small thing ... but highly symbolic. ”” A more serious strain on Sopow's relations with the media was a bitter ion sat many deer were being hit.

The documentation of the effect of the ferry closure now before the courts runs into hundreds of pages Virtually every citizen in Robson has been canvassed as well as every business from the ferry landing to Kin naird. Businesses in Castlegar donated a substantial part of the expenses of the court case and have pledged much more.
